BMPS has no potential alliance partners in view yet
BMPS, the listed Italian bank, has no possible alliances in view at present, Italian-language daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported. The report cited BMPS chairman Alessandro Profumo who noted that the only thing in existence at the moment was a “process” that was being worked on intensively.
The report cited Profumo as saying that if an offer came from a foreign buyer it would be examined.
Profumo added that he did not expect any bank interested in BMPS to take a stake via the forthcoming capital increase of up to EUR 2.5bn, since any bank would either want to take 100% of BMPS or enter into a merger.
