Commerzbank Remains Committed Amid Low Acceptance of UniCredit's Offer

Commerzbank AG has acknowledged the completion of the acceptance period for UniCredit S.p.A.’s takeover offer. A mere 17.60% of shares were tendered by the end of the acceptance period, with institutional and retail investors contributing less than 2% of these. This indicates a lack of attractiveness in UniCredit's proposal from independent shareholders.

Commerzbank is open to dialogue with UniCredit but stresses the need for a consensual solution to realize synergies effectively. The bank remains focused on its “Momentum 2030” strategy, which has already seen its share price double since early 2025.

The bank continues to emphasize its dedication to stakeholders, including the German government and millions of private customers. The outlook for the 2026 financial year aligns with its growth targets through 2030, as they prepare to publish second-quarter results in August.
