<li>BMPS has formally chosen the delist-and-merge route for Mediobanca; MB’s board has launched the adviser-led integration process. Next hard catalyst is BMPS’s combined strategic plan on 27 Feb.</li>
<li>Today’s repricing looks “real money”: MB closed €19.18 on &gt;€100m turnover; BMPS €8.558 on &gt;€325m. MB now trades as minority clean-up optionality, not tender-mechanics carry.</li>
<li>The 2025 2.533×BMPS+€0.90 formula is a reference, not an arb anchor. Preferred setup: long MB with lighter beta hedge; avoid a full 2.533 ratio hedge until terms/mechanism are disclosed.</li>

BMPS–Mediobanca: Delisting Decision Crystallises the Endgame — “what Now?”

<ul>
<li>BMPS closed the re-open at 86.3% of Mediobanca (62.3% initial + ~24pts re-open); settlement 29 Sep. Super-majority secured enables extraordinary resolutions; MB remains listed below 90%/95% thresholds.</li>
<li>MB should hug 2.533×BMPS + €0.90 into 29 Sep; basis widened on flows but typically compresses. Sensitivity: each 1% move in BMPS shifts implied MB ~€0.20 (delta ≈2.533).</li>
<li>Trade: convergence hold long MB/short 2.533× BMPS into settlement; exit unless underwriting merger risk. For BMPS, lower dilution and cash outlay support the equity, tempered by integration and accumulation overhang.</li>

MB should hug 2.533×BMPS + €0.90 into 29 Sep; basis widened on flows but typically compresses. Sensitivity: each 1% move in BMPS shifts implied MB ~€0.20 (delta ≈2.533).
Trade: convergence hold long MB/short 2.533× BMPS into settlement; exit unless underwriting merger risk. For BMPS, lower dilution and cash outlay support the equity, tempered by integration and accumulation overhang.


BMPS–Mediobanca: 86.3% Tendered — What Changes Now?

<ul>
<li>BMPS has 70.5% of Mediobanca after re-open progress (Reuters, 19 Sep). Window closes 22 Sep; settlement 29 Sep. Gross spread ~1.03% on 19 Sep close; convergence momentum and governance transition.</li>
<li>Super-Majority enables extraordinary resolutions; merger remains subject to ECB/SSM, Bank of Italy, and corporate approvals. Expect modest final-day tenders; MB to hug offer formula, with delta ≈2.533 to BMPS.</li>
<li>Trade: convergence hold into final results/29 Sep settlement; maintain tight 2.533 hedge and pre-set rebalance triggers. Directional BMPS bias constructive on lighter dilution/cash; monitor messaging, basis, and any on-market adds.</li>

BMPS–Mediobanca: Super-Majority Secured; Final Day Setup

<ul>
<li>BMPS has secured control of Mediobanca following improved terms; the offer will briefly reopen in mid-September. Market pricing has tightened the spread, reflecting convergence momentum into settlement and governance changes.</li>
<li>Acceptance dynamics likely favor incremental tenders during the re-open window as control clarity rises and strategy signals firm. Catalysts cluster around board composition, formal results notices, and subsequent settlement milestones.</li>
<li>For risk-arb, positioning now focuses on convergence mechanics and disciplined hedging around headlines; sensitivity to bidder shares remains material while post-offer pathways may include on-market top-ups and medium-term threshold considerations.</li>

BMPS–Mediobanca: Control Secured; Re-Open Week Sets the Next Leg

<ul>
<li>BMPS raises terms to 2.533 BMPS shares plus €0.90 cash per Mediobanca share, waiving the two-thirds condition while retaining a 35% minimum—shifting sentiment to a modest, positive convergence setup.</li>
<li>Timeline tight: board review this week; acceptance deadline 8 September; results and settlement mid-September unless terms change, which could trigger re-opening and push closing toward late September or early October.</li>
<li>Best expression remains long Mediobanca, short 2.533× BMPS per share; a 1% BMPS move shifts implied consideration ~€0.19 (≈1% of MB), so maintain a disciplined hedge into catalysts and headlines.</li>
