UBI's Shareholders' Pact Says Intesa's Offer Is 'Unacceptable'

Dow Jones News
Shareholders representing about 18% of Unione di Banche Italiane
SpA's capital said that Intesa Sanpaolo SpA's offer for the bank is
"unacceptable."
The offer "appears hostile, not agreed upon, inconsistent with
the implicit values of UBI Banca and therefore unacceptable," the
members of UBI's shareholders' pact said Thursday in a
statement.
The statement comes after Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo launched
a 4.9 billion euros ($5.3 billion) takeover bid for its smaller
rival, offering UBI shareholders 17 newly issued shares of Intesa
for every 10 UBI shares held.
