Italy’s Sondrio Vows Payouts as It Seeks to Fend Off BPER Bid

In This Article:

(Bloomberg) -- Banca Popolare di Sondrio SpA said it plans to return about €1.5 billion ($1.6 billion) to shareholders by 2027, as the Italian lender seeks to defend against a takeover bid from rival BPER Banca SpA.

The bank will boost its annual payout ratio to 85% through 2027, doubling the dividend distribution of the previous three-year plan, it said in a statement on Wednesday. Popolare Sondrio is targeting about €1.8 billion in cumulative net profit in the 2025-2027 period.

Chief Executive Officer Mario Alberto Pedranzini is focusing on wealth management and insurance products to increase profitability as the Sondrio, Italy based lender seeks to remain an independent bank. Last month BPER launched a €4.3 billion all-stock takeover bid for Popolare Sondrio, which was rejected as too low.

Insurance firm Unipol Gruppo SpA is the biggest shareholder in BPER and Popolare Sondrio, with a stake of about 20% in each. Analysts have seen these holdings as a possible way to create a larger merged lender by merging them, adding to the current round of consolidation in Italy’s banking sector.

Italy’s banking sector is experiencing a high level of M&A activity which kicked off in early November when lender Banco BPM SpA launched a bid for asset manager Anima Holding SpA, only to become a target itself a few weeks later when rival UniCredit SpA made an offer. Yet another lender, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA, subsequently proposed to buy competitor Mediobanca SpA.

Tori Spelling doesn't drink water
Tori Spelling doesn't drink water
Tori Spelling doesn't drink water. The former 'Beverly Hills 90210' star, 51, has confessed she has an "aversion" to the drink and does everything she can to avoid it - revealing she opts for coconut water or soda instead and joking she's like a "cacti". During an appearance on her 'MisSPELLING' podcast, she explained: "I don't drink water. And when I say I don't drink water, I don't drink water. "How I'm still living, no one knows. I'm like a cacti. Just water me once in a while, and I somehow survive. But I have an aversion to it." She added: "I'm trying this new thing since I don't like water. I'm like, okay, I actually enjoy the taste of coconut water. "I can guzzle, like, a glass of wine in, like, two seconds. No problem. But I take a few sips of water and swallow gently, and all of a sudden, I'm like, 'I wanna puke.' " Tori - who is mom to five children with her ex Dean McDermott - went on to admit she did try drinking water during her pregnancies but it was tough. She said: "[I tried] because you have to hydrate the baby growing in you. But in my mind, I was like: 'I'm drinking for them, not myself'." The TV star also confessed she struggles with an "irrational" fear of being poisoned whenever someone hands her a drink -which baffled her ex Dean - and she joked it stems from her late father Aaron Spelling's dramatic TV shows. She explained: "I’m Aaron Spelling's daughter, hello. The creator of drama-rama storytelling ... "[Dean said] 'You're the mother of my children. Why would I want to poison you?’ And I was like: ‘Listen. It's not personal. I think this about everybody.’ " However, Tori is convinced the fear does stem from her childhood when her mom Candy would attempt to get her to take medicine by hiding it in a drink. She said: "I would say: ‘What'd you put in here? Like, what are you giving me?’ And she would say the same thing: ‘What, you think I'm trying to poison you?’ ” "This goes back to childhood. This crazy, irrational fear of handed over liquids from other people. I don't drink water. I don't call it a fear of water. I just like to say I hate water. I have an allergy to water."
