Mediobanca investor Delfin will keep assessing 'very interesting' Monte Paschi bid, chairman tells paper
"Any possible adjustment in the bid which will reflect Mediobanca's market price would make the offer more attractive for investors," Francesco Milleri said in an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
Delfin, the holding company of late Ray-Ban billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio, owns 19.8% in Mediobanca and 9.866% in Monte dei Paschi.
Earlier this month, Mediobanca renewed its opposition to MPS' 14.6 billion euro ($16.92 billion) takeover offer, saying the price was "totally inadequate" and some 32% lower than what the bank's board deemed fair.
Delfin became investor in Monte dei Paschi when the Italian Treasury in November sold a stake in the bank.

Shipping giant Clarksons profits fall as Trump tariffs and turmoil in the Middle East hit demand
Shipping giant Clarkson suffered a hit to profits as trade tariffs and turmoil in the Middle East hit demand. Boss Andi Case blamed the 'highly complex global environment' after profit fell to £37.5million in the six months to June from £50.1million the previous year. Donald Trump's tariffs, followed by a chaotic 'shifting' of the levies, meant exporters held off shipping goods. Sales were down to £298million from £310million in 2024. The decline followed a warning in March that rising global tensions were likely to hit performance. It has also been affected by wars in Gaza and the wider Middle East, which caused many clients to pause long-term contracts.

Jaguar replaces 'woke' chief: Tata CFO PB Balaji to take over in November after rebrand backfires
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has appointed a new boss less than a week after its previous chief executive announced plans to retire following a 'woke' rebrand. The British carmaker said PB Balaji, chief financial officer of parent company Tata Motors, will take over in November. He will replace Adrian Mardell, who last week said he would leave after just over two years. The exit follows a contentious rebrand last year which saw JLR axe its 'growler' badge and unveil an advert featuring diverse models – but no cars. The decision prompted a barrage of criticism, including from US president Donald Trump, who said JLR was 'in absolute turmoil' and branded its rebrand 'stupid, and seriously woke'. 'Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad,' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Price hikes are music to the ears of Spotify investors - but UK subscribers won't be hit
Spotify shares rallied yesterday as the streaming giant announced price hikes in multiple countries – but not in the UK. The Swedish music platform's stock jumped 5 per cent in New York after raising its Premium subscriptions, which allow customers to listen advert-free to music on their phones and computers. Spotify's shares are up almost 50 per cent this year. Price rises will be introduced across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. For example, in Sweden, the monthly rate is up from £9.26 to £10.03. But not in the UK, whose stars, such as Dua Lipa, have amassed millions of listeners. British fans last saw a price rise in April last year – from £10.99 a month to £11.99. Global subscribers have risen 12 per cent to 276m, while sales rose 10 per cent to £3.6billion.
