法国农业信贷银行周一表示，已提议将其意大利子公司与Banco BPM合并，组建一家合并后的实体，该实体将成为意大利第三大银行。
Credit Agricole pitches tie-up of Italian subsidiary and Banco BPM Nov 9 - Credit Agricole SA said on Monday it has proposed that its Italian subsidiary merge with Banco BPM to create a combined entity that would become Italy's third-largest bank.
法国农业信贷银行称，根据拟议交易，其在合并实体中的股份将从29.6%增至约45%，而Banco BPM首席执行官朱塞佩·卡斯塔尼亚将领导合并后的集团。
Under the proposed deal, Credit Agricole's stake in the combined entity would increase to about 45% from 29.6%, while Banco BPM Chief Executive Giuseppe Castagna would lead the merged group, the French lender said.
法国农业信贷银行补充说，该提议已提交Banco BPM董事会，其中包括反映20%估值溢价的股份置换比例，以及为意大利银行现有股东提供的10亿欧元（约合11亿美元）特别股息。
The proposal, which has been submitted to Banco BPM's board, includes an exchange ratio reflecting a 20% valuation premium and a €1 billion ($1.1 billion) extraordinary dividend for the Italian bank's existing shareholders, Credit Agricole added.
近年来，法国农业信贷银行一直是欧洲收购最积极的银行之一，通过拓展财富管理业务、加强在意大利的布局以及在德国寻求机会，以实现超越其成熟的法国零售市场的多元化发展。
Credit Agricole has been one of Europe's most acquisitive banks in recent years, expanding its wealth management business, strengthening its presence in Italy and pursuing opportunities in Germany as it seeks to diversify beyond its mature French retail market.
上周，卡斯塔尼亚表示，在蒙特皮耶西银行股东拒绝了一项以收购该银行为核心的计划后，法意两国银行之间可能会出现新的交易。法国农业信贷银行称，拟议交易可能在2027年下半年完成。
Last week, Castagna said a new transaction between the French and the Italian banks could emerge after Monte dei Paschi shareholders rejected a plan centered on the acquisition of the lender. The proposed transaction could be completed in the second half of 2027, the lender said.
