UniCredit takeover offer

UniCredit S.p.A. has built a controlling-scale position in Commerzbank. In a statement of July 8, 2026 Commerzbank said that a total of 17.6% of its shares had been tendered by the close of the additional acceptance period on July 3, 2026, of which 2.7% came from independent institutional and retail investors, and that following the takeover offer UniCredit would have access to just under 50% of the voting rights. The Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board recommended that shareholders reject the offer as financially inadequate.
