Italy’s insurance regulator IVASS is set to rule early this week on the takeover offer by Intesa Sanpaolo for rival UBI, reported Reuters.
IVASS’s verdict is the last regulatory approval needed before market watchdog Consob examines the offer prospectus.

Based on Italian rules, Consob has five working days from the IVASS decision to rule on the prospectus.
Consob’s approval would open the way for Intesa to launch the all-paper exchange offer for UBI, after it announced its plan to bid in February and create the Euro zone’s seventh-biggest banking group.
