德國商業銀行拒絕義大利聯合信貸銀行的合併轉型計劃,稱其「充滿敵意且具有誤導性」。

By

-- 義大利聯合信貸銀行(UniCredit,UCG.MI)週一公佈了針對德國商業銀行(Commerzbank,CBK.F)的轉型計劃,概述了合併後的潛在益處。德國商業銀行駁斥該計劃是「持續的敵意策略和誤導性描述」。 義大利聯合信貸銀行透過股份持有德國商業銀行26.04%的投票權,並透過其他金融工具持有3.31%的投票權。該公司提出了一項名為「解鎖」(Unlocked)的新方案,旨在使德國商業銀行重新聚焦其核心市場德國和波蘭,而非繼續執行其「動量」(Momentum)計劃下「激進且風險更高」的國際擴張策略。聯合信貸銀行表示,新方案將優先考慮德國中小企業和家族企業,加大對第一線業務、技術和人工智慧應用的投資,同時致力於提高非核心國際網路、高階主管管理費用、營運等方面的效率。 義大利聯合信貸銀行表示,在「解鎖」(Unlocked)策略下,德國商業銀行到2028年淨利可望達到51億歐元,高於先前市場普遍預期的「動量」(Momentum)策略下的45億歐元。該行還指出,德國商業銀行“準備不足”,難以與美國企業和金融科技公司在德國市場競爭。此外,該行過度關注短期業績,並部分依賴有利的利率環境和非核心國際業務成長來抵銷2025年高於預期目標的營運支出。 義大利聯合信貸銀行也反駁了德國商業銀行關於其收購要約溢價不足的說法,指出市場普遍預期合併後的業績將比「動量」策略下高出5%以上。該行補充說,德國商業銀行已拒絕就溢價問題進行進一步討論,也拒絕就交易細節進行任何接觸。 德國商業銀行駁斥了這些說法,稱該提議仍未包含「市場標準」溢價,並稱該轉型方案是「試圖瓦解」其商業模式的投機之舉,此前,意大利聯合信貸銀行已主動增持股份超過18個月。 「義大利聯合信貸銀行今天提出的方案並非令人信服的合併方案。這是直接競爭對手提出的重組方案,旨在削弱德國中小企業在國際業務和貿易融資方面的核心價值鏈。該方案包括以德國聯合抵押銀行(HypoVereinsbank)為藍本壓縮德國商業銀行的成本基礎,並使其偏離構成該行競爭地位的中小企業業務。 該貸款機構補充說,任何潛在的組合收益可能都需要「幾年時間」才能實現,實施可能會在 2029 年至 2030 年間開始,並表示將於 5 月 8 日公佈第一季業績的同時,提出更新後的目標和 2030 年戰略。

Asia Biofuels Update: Malaysian Palm Oil Diverges from Crude Oil on Weaker Exports, Stronger Ringgit

Malaysian palm oil futures slipped on Monday, pulling away from crude oil prices, as weaker exports and a stronger local currency weighed on sentiment.Reversing the previous session's gains, the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives' May crude palm oil contract fell 0.66% to 4,487 Malaysian ringgit ($1,134.94) per metric ton. The June contract dropped by 0.96% to 4,521 ringgit/mt in midday trade.Malaysian shipments for the April 1-25 period reportedly declined 15.7% from a month earlier, according to cargo surveyors cited by Trading Economics.A stronger Malaysian ringgit, which rose against the US dollar by 0.28% on Monday, could further pressure exports as it makes them costlier.The recent drop in Malaysian shipments followed a 29.1% year-over-year rise in Q1 exports, as buyers advanced purchases due to the expected surge in shipping costs and as volumes of rival Indonesian cargoes softened due to higher export levies.Indonesia's move to raise its palm-based biodiesel blending to 50% from 40% beginning July 1 could further lift Malaysian exports going forward.The Malaysia Palm Oil Council said Indonesia's B50 program could absorb an additional 3 million metric tons per year of palm oil. Annual domestic consumption in Thailand could also increase by 350,000 metric tons as the country moves to B7 from B5, while demand in Malaysia could rise by 300,000 mt as the government raises its biodiesel blend to B15 from B10.Rising biofuel demand, elevated crude oil prices, and supply risks from the potential development of an El Nino weather trend will support palm oil prices, with the MPOC projecting them at around 4,500 ringgit/mt in the near term."However, further gains are likely to be capped by softer export demand amid inflation and weaker economic growth in key importing countries, alongside rising stocks as palm oil production gradually enters its seasonal peak," the MPOC said.According to Jim Teh, senior palm oil trader at Interband Group of Co., as cited by Bernama, palm oil prices could trade between 4,200 ringgit/mt and 4,300 ringgit/mt this week due to profit taking.
