ArcelorMittal abandoned its planned acquisition of the remaining 51% of an Italian JV after the government's golden power conditions effectively vetoed the deal. The outcome hands control to domestic rival Arvedi and signals rising regulatory risk for cross-border M&A in Italy's strategic sectors.
UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel has pivoted to a more aggressive stance in his pursuit of Commerzbank, framing a formal €35 billion takeover bid as a necessary move to force negotiations. After 18 months of strategic maneuvering, the move seeks to overcome political and corporate resistance to a cross-border European banking merger.
UniCredit SpA has launched a €35 billion ($40 billion) takeover bid for Germany’s Commerzbank AG, a move designed to bypass regulatory hurdles and increase its stake beyond 30%. While the Italian lender does not expect to gain full control immediately, the bid represents a major step toward a cross-border European banking merger.
