In their initial analysis of the offer, the board of the targeted Italian lender said the consideration of 1.600 newly issued shares and 1 euro in cash for every Monte dei Paschi share presents a lower premium when compared with similar transactions in the Italian banking sector. The proposal values Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena at 30.6 billion euros, which directors pointed out reflects a differential of 3.4 billion euros to its market capitalization before the offer. The board also noted that potential synergies for the offer are focused on value creation and require detailed analysis regarding their achievability and sustainability, among others.
