BANCA MONTE DEI PASCHI SIENA approved twin bids for BANCO BPM SPA and BANCA GENERALI SPA on Thursday to form Italy's third-largest banking group. The move aims to fend off a hostile takeover approach from INTESA SANPAOLO in a complex corporate battle. A web of cross-shareholdings linking banks, insurers, and billionaire investors will ultimately decide the outcome of the transaction.
