Dutch bank ABN AMRO has entered a public exchange offer of 6.3 billion euros (25 euros per share) to acquire the 87.32% of capital which it does not already hold in BANCA ANTONVENETA. To achieve this, ABN AMRO launched 135 million new shares, 8% of its ordinary share capital. Its offer is on condition of obtaining at least 50% of the capital. The offer, which comes a day after that of BBVA, is also due to be examined by the Bank of Italy.
