Even more tranchant the vice president of Unicredit, Vincenzo Calandra Buonaura: "It's a hoax".
The denial about Commerz could give Unicredit a further boost on the Stock Exchange, already boosted by the project to convert savings shares into ordinary shares and by the greater contestability envisaged by the new governance with the abolition of the 5% ceiling for voting rights.
