UniCredit’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a capital increase to finance its takeover bid for Commerzbank AG. The move funds a voluntary public exchange offer for all outstanding shares of the German bank.
The resolution excludes pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders to facilitate the transaction. UniCredit will execute the capital increase on the payment date, provided all offer conditions are met or waived.
The bank announced this formal financial commitment after market close on September 10, 2026.
