Commerzbank AG has taken note of UniCredit's most recent disclosure, published on 10 June 2026, regarding the acceptance level of its takeover offer. According to that disclosure, the acceptance level has risen to 10.95 %. Based on continuously collected shareholder structure information provided to Commerzbank as issuer by custodian banks, Commerzbank has nonetheless not been able to identify a single institutional investor that has tendered shares into the offer. Retail tendering remained unchanged at approximately 0.05 %. The data and the progression of the acceptance level therefore reinforce the reasonable assumption that the tendered shares stem almost exclusively from banks and parties connected to UniCredit. According to information available to Commerzbank, none of the tendering parties connected to UniCredit held material stakes in Commerzbank prior to the takeover offer. In Commerzbank's view, UniCredit's disclosures continue to fall short of the required level of transparency and cannot be regarded as evidence of independent shareholder support for the offer. Throughout the entire acceptance period, Commerzbank's share price has traded significantly above the implied value of the offer consideration. At market close on 9 June 2026, the share price was approximately 6 %, or €2.30 per share, above the implied offer price. Tendering under these circumstances lacks economic rationale and raises the question of whether undisclosed economic compensation arrangements exist. In addition, Commerzbank has observed a significant increase in securities lending activity involving its shares in recent weeks, which it considers unusual given both the scale and the timing. Since the announcement of the offer, lending activity has increased more than tenfold. It cannot therefore be excluded that the significant increase in securities lending activity is connected to the tendering behaviour of certain banks and parties connected to UniCredit. This is also reflected in the data available to Commerzbank, according to which only a portion of the tendered shares are actually owned by the tendering parties. In the interest of market transparency, Commerzbank expects UniCredit as well as the banks and parties connected to it to disclose the material terms of the agreements underlying their hedging and derivative transactions. To assist in clarifying the matter, Commerzbank is continuously providing the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) with its data and findings. Transparency and careful supervisory assessment are in the interests of all market participants, shareholders and stakeholders. Shareholders must be able to make their decisions on the basis of complete, accurate and properly contextualised information. Commerzbank reiterates its recommendation that market participants and investors refrain from drawing definitive conclusions regarding ownership positions, influence, control or the ultimate level of shareholder support for the offer until the relevant facts have been fully assessed and appropriately disclosed. The Board of Managing Directors and Supervisory Board of Commerzbank reiterate their recommendation that shareholders reject UniCredit's offer. Commerzbank will continue to analyze the data on an ongoing basis and will keep the public regularly informed until the end of the acceptance period on 16 June 2026 and during the extended acceptance period, which according to UniCredit's offer document is expected to run from 20 June to 3 July 2026.
