Proxy ISS Against Monte Dei Paschi Deal for Mediobanca -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Mar 31

0718 GMT - Institutional Shareholder Services is opposed to Monte dei Paschi di Sienna's hostile takeover bid for peer Mediobanca, the proxy advisory firm says in a report. ISS recommends that shareholders of Italian bank MPS vote against the board's capital increase proposal in the context of its all-share bid for its larger peer at its upcoming extraordinary general meeting on April 17 as they are "voting on a declaration of intentions that leave little margin for error." ISS notes that MPS has no access to due diligence, no final price and no certainty of a deal closing. "It is difficult to foresee a seamless post-merger execution, and it is difficult to find successful precedents for a hostile, transformational banking merger involving entities with such a different profile," it says.
