The board of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A. has formally decided to proceed with the delisting of Mediobanca and its subsequent merger into the group, according to an announcement made today, February 17, 2026. This strategic move aims to consolidate ownership following the bank's previous acquisition of an 86% stake in Mediobanca last year. Under the approved plan, the Mediobanca brand will be preserved, while the group creates a new planned unlisted Mediobanca-branded entity specifically designed to house private and investment banking activities.
