10月11日 - 意大利蒙特·德·帕斯基银行(Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena)将于周一晚间召开董事会会议，以评估情况，此前求购方英意萨帕罗(Intesa Sanpaolo)承诺提高其收购要约的现金部分，并获得一些关键MPS投资者的支持，三位知情人士周日表示。
Oct 11 - Italy's Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena will hold a board meeting late on Monday to take stock of the situation after suitor Intesa Sanpaolo pledged to hike its takeover bid and gained the support of some key MPS investors, three people close to the matter said on Sunday.
英意萨帕罗一周前表示，如果MPS股东拒绝首席执行官路易吉·洛瓦格利奥(Luigi Lovaglio)提出的针对该要约的防御计划，则将其350亿欧元收购要约中的现金部分提高25%。
Intesa a week ago said it would increase by 25% the cash component of its €35 billion takeover bid if MPS shareholders rejected a defence plan CEO Luigi Lovaglio has proposed against the bid.
董事会将讨论最新进展，一位消息人士称，但尚不清楚是否可能将进一步的防御措施提交董事会成员审议。
The board will discuss the latest developments, one of the sources said, adding it was not clear if any further defence moves could be put to board members.
为了推进他的防御方案，洛瓦格利奥已于10月29日召开股东大会表决该方案，他需要获得三分之二多数批准。但持有该银行资本总额约30%的股东在过去一周内表示他们不会支持该方案，使得达到必要的批准门槛成为不可能。
To be able to advance his defence scheme, Lovaglio has called a shareholder vote on it on October 29, where he needs a two-third majority approval. But shareholders holding in aggregate some 30% of the bank's capital over the course of the past week said they would not back the project - making it impossible to reach the necessary approval threshold.
