Intesa Sanpaolo’s unsolicited €30.6 billion cash-and-share tender offer for Monte dei Paschi di Siena, launched June 8, 2026, remains the dominant driver of the 64% market-implied odds for a 2026 announcement. The bid, offering 1.6 Intesa shares plus €1 cash per MPS share at a 12.5% premium to the June 5 VWAP, includes a pre-arranged Unipol carve-out of roughly 635 branches to address antitrust concerns and targets completion of the tender by year-end. Key near-term catalysts include Intesa’s September 10 extraordinary shareholder meeting to approve the capital increase and the expected window for regulatory clearances from late September through December. MPS has not formally rejected the offer while evaluating alternatives, including Banco BPM’s merger overture, but Intesa has ruled out raising its price amid projected €2.9 billion in annual synergies from 2029.

A bid or offer announcement without the indication of a settled agreement will not qualify.
Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company announces the acquisition of a controlling interest in the other company.

Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.
