The proposed transaction involves UniCredit acquiring Delfin's 10% shareholding in Generali in exchange for 5% of its own equity. Such a move would effectively transform Delfin into one of the bank's primary shareholders with an 8% stake. Despite the strategic implications for both institutions, the Luxembourg-based holding company rejected the offer, citing concerns over the deal's financial valuation. It remains uncertain whether the negotiations have collapsed entirely or are merely on hold. Representatives for both UniCredit and Delfin declined to provide comment on the report.
