COMMERZBANK AG announced on Friday, June 5, that investors have tendered 7.85% of its capital under a €40 billion takeover bid from UNICREDIT SPA. This total follows a June 2 disclosure from the Milanese lender claiming it reached a 7.6% take-up. Reaching this 30% ownership threshold would allow UniCredit to facilitate open-market share purchases in Germany.
