Unipol: Laterza says the share price rise is positive, with strong interest from investors and the market
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - "The capital increase is going very well: it has attracted a great deal of interest from investors and the market." So said Matteo Laterza, chief executive of the Unipol Group, regarding the Bologna-based group’s €2.5 billion capital increase to support the acquisition of the MPS branches intended for its subsidiary BPER. “The business plan is a very interesting one; it creates value, so the capital raising is attracting a great deal of interest both from our shareholders – given that it is a rights issue – and from other potential investors who can come on board and seize the opportunity presented by the capital raising to become our shareholders,” he explained. The first phase of the capital increase will conclude on 26 October.
