UniCredit launches placement of ordinary shares in FinecoBank S.p.A. representing 20% of the Company’s existing share capital
UniCredit S.p.A. _“UniCredit"_ announces the launch of a placement of ordinary shares in its subsidiary, FinecoBank S.p.A. _"FinecoBank" or the "Company"_, representing 20% of the Company’s existing share capital _the “Placement"_. The Placement will be made to certain institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process.
Bookbuilding will commence immediately. UniCredit reserves the right to change the terms or timing of the Placement at any time.
The Placement will enable UniCredit to support its continued organic growth, in the context of the strategic review announced on 11 July 2016. The Placement would also increase the free float of FinecoBank shares.
Upon completion of the Placement, UniCredit will continue to control and consolidate the Company with a shareholding of c.a. 35%, hence leveraging on FinecoBank's distinctive capabilities and know-how and supporting its liquidity investment policy.
The Placement is a further clear indication that UniCredit intends to act in a decisive manner to seize any incremental opportunities to create value in line with the renewed impetus of proactive portfolio management in which all assets will be subject to the same disciplined capital management.
UniCredit has agreed to a 360 day lockup period with respect to any remaining FinecoBank shares it will hold following the Placement. Subject to customary exceptions, no additional sales of shares of FinecoBank will be made by UniCredit during the lock up period without the consent of UBS Limited on behalf of the Joint Bookrunners.
UBS Limited and UniCredit Bank AG, Milan Branch have been appointed by UniCredit to act as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners of the Placement.
