Commerzbank: a joint solution is needed to realise synergies with UniCredit

Board open to ‘constructive dialogue’ with the Italian bank

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Commerzbank’s supervisory board and board of directors “remain open to constructive dialogue with UniCredit. This has not changed”. This is stated in the press release in which the German bank acknowledges the results of UniCredit’s public offer. According to Commerzbank, “realising synergies from a merger on a significant scale and within a reasonable timeframe is only realistic through a joint solution involving the bank’s management, employees and their representatives, as well as the German federal government, which is the second-largest shareholder”, after UniCredit. At the same time, the bank “continues to follow a clear path of growth and transformation, achieving sustainable value creation through its ‘Momentum 2030’ strategy”. The bank points out that since the launch of the new plan in February 2025, “the share price has doubled and the 2025 financial year was a record year in the institution’s 156-year history”. Finally, Commerzbank confirms its outlook for 2026 and its “ambitious targets” up to 2030, noting that the second-quarter results will be presented on 6 August.
