Summary
The participation is a consequence of the financial crisis in 2008/2009, when the state saved the institute with tax billions from collapse. This requires a common understanding of the business model and the involvement of all stakeholders. The federal government, whose share sale became the gateway for Unicredit in September 2024, has a say with its remaining 12 percent share. A year earlier, costs for the reduction of thousands of jobs had reduced the profit to 462 million euros.
Furthermore, The surplus in the period April to June increased to 898 million euros, as the Dax Group announced in Frankfurt. The bank wants to put a further up to 1.2 billion euros in the repurchase of own shares. However, almost two years after joining Commerzbank, the Italian bank Unicredit now has access to almost half of the shares.
In addition, Orlopp sees “design mandate for both sides” “Even if Unicredit has a majority at the next Annual General Meeting, it cannot decide on essential structural measures alone,” Orlopp affirmed. This is a clear task for both sides. Commerzbank earned almost twice as much in the second quarter as it did a year earlier and is now looking for talks with its major shareholder Unicredit on this basis.
