BFF BANKING GROUP S.P.A.

BFF Bank is considering a capital increase of around €300 million, in which Cerberus could subscribe to a minority stake below 30%. At the same time, the bank is reviewing the sale of its payments and custodial bank business after a preliminary offer from BPER and expressions of interest in the factoring business from AMCO and the Sella Group. The measures are intended to strengthen the capital base and business structure following a regulatory revaluation of the loan book by the Bank of Italy, which sees a potential capital shortfall for 2028 if no countermeasures are taken. » Więcej na de.investing.com
