Mps adhesions low in the last conversion of the bond into shares – The Republic

MILAN - the Last day useful in order to exchange the subordinated bonds Monte dei Paschi shares. Smoke signals that can be seen in Siena, for now, do not indicate a level of participation is very encouraging: according to some rumors, we would be far from 1,057 billion euros to the bank in the prospectus had estimated to collect. And still a few investors, apart from the General, with 420 million, would be accepted since here the offer. But you should wait: the operation game on Monday, due today at 16, and as always in similar cases, the last hours are the most important, because investors expect to have as much information as possible in your hand to decid e whether to join or not. What we can already say is that the exchange offer loans-shares, short as it is, has been rather bumpy. Of the 12 bond to almost 5.3 billion in circulation, was, in fact, except for the Fresh 2008 of the value of a million dollars already raked up months ago by the speculative funds, and that they have not found the agreement with the bank of siena on a level of conversion into shares at 23 cents. Also the other subordinate type of “Fresh” (the acronym of the Floating Rate Equity-linked Subordinated Hybrid Preferred Securities, in practice, a title hybrid capital) issued in 2008, by about thirty million, was excluded from the offer, to the veto of a manager specialized, which holds 51% of the shares, and has voted against the price offered for the conversion into shares of the Mps. Are still in the game, and then 10 bond subordinated to approximately 4,26 billion), but we should talk about nine, and of the actual 2,19 bil lion nominal, because the title Upper tier II expires 2018 2,069 billion, the only one in the hands of the public at large, was, in fact, excluded from the operation. The Consob, in fact, dictated that the bank could not make a solicitation to customers minutes to deliver its full value in cash, provided that they then reinvestissero in new shares of the Mps, in order to contribute to strengthening by 5 billion in the pipeline. The non-adequacy of profiling within the meaning of the Mifid directive on the shares, in fact, cut out about 90% of the approximately 50 thousand carriers of the subject: without saying that many of them have preferred to sell it and cash out 60-70 cents in the past days, and forget about it.

The action of the banca toscana is however special at Piazza Affari, because the closing of the repurchase of subordinate tell the difference, how many shares to be found on the market with the increase. Jp Morgan and Mediobanca, who lead the syndicate are not yet formalized, would like to start from a level of participation by at least € 1.5 billion. Below these adhesions, and, even more, the threshold specified by the bank a billion, it could prove to be difficult to complete the rescue on the market, and may have to intervene in the State for the implementation of safety, with the involvement of the investor in the losses. The offer on bond subordinated covered securities for 4,26 billion.

A new trust on the Mps arrived yesterday evening by the French giant Axa, which, with the Monte dei Paschi has renewed for another ten years, until 2027, the partnership bancassicurativa signed in 2007. At the base of the renewal, quotes a note, “the excellent results of the alliance, which since 2007 has allowed the bank to consolidate and strengthen its presence in the insurance sector, life/damage and Axa to conquer a position of leadership in the Italian market, and then to further increase the diversification and the growth profile of the group”. The bank will continue “to distribute the products of the joint venture Axa-Mps, through the commercial network, composed of over 2000 branches, and to take advantage of the know-how of a leading international insurance, in terms of product innovation and quality services”.
