Intesa Sanpaolo has closed the end of 2016, with gains of 3.1 billion, an increase of 13.6% on the 2015: confirmed, therefore, the 3 billion coupons provided by the industrial plan. Also confirmed the 10 billion total dividends at the end of the plan 2014/2017: after you have deployed 3 billion on the 2016, 2.4 billion on the year 2015, 1.2 billion on the year 2014, the bank is now expected to assign other 3.4 to rely on the year just started.
The performance of 2016 has been possible thanks to a fourth quarter profit to 776 million (there were 15 a year ago), despite some extraordinary items such as impairment of 226 million in the fund, the Atlas and the 473 million of contributions to the resolution Fund to complete the intervention on the four good banks; among the special items of a positive sign, the 881 million gain from the sale of Setefi and Intesa Sanpaolo Card, compared to 87 million in 2015. As at 31 December 2016, taking into account the 3 billion euro of dividends proposed, the Common Equity ratio pro-forma regimen is equal to 12.9%.
Agreement: in the study there is no exchange offer on the General
Since here the counts, in a day in which to 13.30 – prior to dissemination of numbers – the title Intesa Sanpaolo in Piazza business marked a rise of 1.1 percent. But the other major issue on the table of the bank remain the project on the General, derubricati – in the press release disseminated this morning at the request of Consob – with just a simple "case study", after that yesterday evening a spokesperson had denied the study of a public exchange offer. “We are evaluating options of external growth,” said Messina, speaking with analysts in a conference call. And between these there is a project on the General, but “will take time”. “We’re looking at if from the point of view industriae is consistent with our model of development, only after the completion of this analysis we decide whether and how to proceed with an offer”, said the manager. Specifying that “in each case, the commitment to distribute 3.4 billion of dividends in 2017, is confirmed. My priority is to shareholders.
Intesa Sanpaolo has also announced the sale of 4.88 per cent. of the Bank of Italy for 366 million. The stake was purchased from the Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione Cariplo Pension Fund for defined contribution of the Intesa Sanpaolo group, the supplementary Pension Fund for staff of Banco di Napoli, the Pension Fund for employees of Cariplo and the Pension Fund of Cr Firenze. Understanding down so the 27,81% of the bank of Italy and “intends to reduce the participation within the threshold of 3%” as provided by law, “and held exclusively by Intesa Sanpaolo Vita for the purposes of investment and Banca Imi for the purposes of market making”.
pending further clarifications on the dossier General, analysts wonder. For Intermonte
timings seem to “stretch” and “the methods and objectives of Intesa Sanpaolo are not entirely clear”. In each case, the bank “does not seem to be willing” to launch a public offer of exchange. Always Intermonte does not exclude that the Agreement “has initiated discussions with both the regulators and the Ecb to evaluate a possible impact on the capital” of the operation, “both with its shareholders and with those of the General to understand how to
a potential partnership”. If the appeal of speculative decreases “in short”, concludes there are “still a chance of significant developments in the story”. For Equity, however, the Agreement has “several options on the table, including – possibly – an exchange offer for 100% of shares and a mixed shares and cash”. ̶ 0;Our basic hypothesis – conclude the analysts of Equita – is an offer on 60%
General, to 19 euro, with 8 euro paid in cash. In these terms, the operation
should result in a reduction of CET1 over 11%”.
