Intesa Sanpaolo complains to market watchdog over MPS defensive moves in M&A battle

Intesa Sanpaolo complains to market watchdog over MPS defensive moves in M&A battle

- Intesa Sanpaolo ISP.MI on Wednesday filed a complaint to Italy's market watchdog Consob over transactions that smaller rival Monte dei Paschi di Siena BMPS.MI (MPS) has announced following Intesa's offer for it, a source close to the matter said.

Last week MPS announced two simultaneous bids, totaling about €34 billion ($39.7 billion), on rival Banco BPM BAMI.MI and wealth manager Banca Generali BGN.MI, as it seeks to fend off a hostile takeover approach launched by Intesa in June.
