Intesa says Paschi bid won backing from Delfin
In short
Intesa Sanpaolo said its improved offer for Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is backed by Delfin Sarl, the bank’s biggest shareholder. The summary says this makes Intesa’s takeover bid stronger.
This matters because shareholder support can help decide the battle for control of Paschi. But the reporting does not say how much Delfin owns or whether the deal will be completed.
