"After having settled the debt position of the Foundation, we now have to give it a perspective: to create conditions of sufficient profitability to be able to make disbursements, that is, to go back to doing our job". Antonella Mansi, president of the Mps Foundation, said it afterwards the agreement with the two funds to whom 6,5% of Banca Mps' capital will be sold and a shareholders' agreement will be signed.
However, Mansi does not clarify whether the Foundation has completed the sale of MPS shares: "We will never say this, in one sense or another".
Mansi also glosses over the next role in the governance of the Bank by the new pact which will hold 9% of the capital after the increase: "These are assessments to be made after the Bank's capital increase (recapitalization of 3 billion which will be launched after half of May, ed) when the framework of the shareholding structure will be clearer”.
Mansi adds that she is confident that the two Fintech partners and BTG Pactual will remain among the Bank's shareholders in the medium term.
At the beginning of the afternoon, MPS shares gained 6,77%.
