UniCredit has the right until June 30 to drop the offer. "We find it really quite awkward that already three of the conditions UniCredit has included in their offer have not been fulfilled," Banco BPM Chairman Massimo Tononi told a conference call. UniCredit pauses Banco BPM offer over Italian government conditions The conditions concern the merged entity's credit activity, liquidity management, and UniCredit’s operations in Russia. Italy says terms for UniCredit-BPM tie-up avoid helping Russia ROME (Reuters) -Italy deemed it necessary to set binding conditions before clearing UniCredit's proposed bid for Banco BPM to avoid "even the slightest risk" of aiding Russia's economy where UniCredit operates, a decree seen by Reuters showed. UniCredit said on Tuesday the prescriptions could impair its ability to act "prudently" in the future, and it could not take any decisions on the bid until concerns it immediately raised with the government were addressed. Following supervisory demands, UniCredit has sharply cut its exposure to Russia, but it still runs a local subsidiary, having failed to exit before tighter rules made it near impossible.

Growing uncertainty over the fate of UniCredit's 13 billion-euro ($15 billion) all-share bid drove Banco BPM's shares down 2% by 1020 GMT. UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel has repeatedly said he is ready to drop the tender offer for BPM, despite the good strategic fit, if the deal does not meet his financial metrics.

UniCredit nears launch of Banco BPM bid as Credit Agricole ups stake Credit Agricole got the all clear to take a bigger stake in Italy's Banco BPM, posing a hurdle to UniCredit which said on Wednesday it would launch its 14 billion euro ($15 billion) tender offer for BPM on April 28. UniCredit's takeover offer is one of a series of hostile bids shaking up Italy's banking sector, which has rebuilt capital reserves from record profits fuelled by high interest rates, after a bad loan clean-up. Italy's second-biggest bank said its tender offer, cleared by market watchdog Consob, will run until June 23.

UniCredit's offer for BPM is one of several hostile bids rocking Italian banking, which underwent a painful clean-up after the 2008-2012 crisis years but has recently enjoyed record profits due to high interest rates. UniCredit said that its board would approve on Sunday the share issue to fund the bid, which its shareholders authorised on Friday.

UniCredit CEO says Commerzbank decision could take even longer LONDON (Reuters) -UniCredit's CEO Andrea Orcel said on Wednesday he may need to wait until 2027 before deciding whether to try and take over Commerzbank, as Germany's fiscal splurge pumped up the bank's shares and he needed to examine any deal's value. Orcel thrust his bank into two M&A situations last year by acquiring up to 30% in Germany's Commerzbank through derivatives and bidding for Italian peer Banco BPM. UniCredit received approval from the European Central Bank last week to convert those derivatives into up to 29.9% of Commerzbank shares. German regulator sets April deadline for any initial UniCredit-Commerzbank nod A deadline for German antitrust authorities to give possible initial approval for Italy's UniCredit in taking a substantial stake in Germany's Commerzbank expires on April 14, a spokesperson for the regulator said on Wednesday.
