UniCredit Announces Final Results of Tender Offer

UniCredit announced that following its voluntary takeover offer for Commerzbank, shares representing 17.60% of Commerzbank's outstanding share capital have been tendered, well ahead of original expectations. 

Together with the directly held 26.77% stake and the financial instruments which confer the right to demand physical delivery of a stake of 3.22%, this adds up to 47.59%.  

The percentage of 47.59% translates into 49.65% of Commerzbank voting rights (Commerzbank treasury shares cannot be voted) and would also increase to that level once Commerzbank cancels its treasury shares, something it committed to do.

The completion of the tender offer periods represents a further step in the execution of UniCredit's strategic investment in Commerzbank. UniCredit continues to seek to engage constructively with all relevant stakeholders while pursuing the necessary regulatory and supervisory processes in relation to its investment.
