Summary
Unicredit had always rejected the allegations. It was still not transparent how strongly borrowed shares were sold and which hedging agreements were made. The General Works Council had doubts that Unicredit quickly received Commerzbank shares with its takeover offer, although the offer of the Italians was long below the price of Commerzbank and investors usually transfer their shares only shortly before the deadline.
Furthermore, After the conclusion of the investigation procedure, the initiation of an investigation procedure was refused, “since sufficient factual evidence of the existence of a crime could not be established,” wrote a spokesman. The Commerzbank General Works Council, which had intervened in the judiciary and filed a complaint against unknown, must accept defeat. The Commerzbank management has also repeatedly criticized the Unicredit data and the financial supervisory authority Bafin.
In addition, The accusation weighed heavily: market manipulation is a crime in Germany. Further information could not be provided due to the “not yet completed takeover process and associated possible price influences”.
