Italian Plot Twist May Finally Insulate Finance From Politics

Italy's banking melodrama just took another wild plot twist. Mediobanca SpA has spotted a neat escape route from an unwanted takeover bid by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA — and from the billionaire shareholders who've spent years trying to use it as a backdoor route to influencing insurer Assicurazioni Generali SpA. The solution: Mediobanca on Monday launched an offer for wealth manager Banca Generali SpA worth €6.3 billion ($7.2 billion), to be paid for with its 13% stake in Generali. That looks like a good deal for fans of clear, focused businesses, unencumbered by a big financial stake in another group. However, it potentially creates other headaches, not least of which is leaving Monte Paschi once again without a merger partner – frustrating the government's efforts to offload its stake in Italian banking's thrice-rescued problem child.

A combination with Monte Paschi would result in 'a transaction that is not positive for us, not positive for Monte Paschi shareholders,' Nagel said at the Morgan Stanley European Financials Conference in London on Tuesday, flagging an estimated 'double-digit' impact on EPS.
