Interview with Laurent Mignon in Le Figaro: “There will be no second public tender offer on Natixis’ shares”
“[...] I am confident because the offer is going well. Since the tender was opened on June 4th, Natixis’ shares have been trading at the offer price of 4 euros, which means that institutional investors consider this to be a good price. Despite the recent rebound in banking stocks, this offer still represents a significant premium relative to banking sector prices. […] We are going to complete the construction of Groupe BPCE, which we started twelve years ago, to make it the leading unlisted European banking group. The current tender offer represents just one step in this strategic project.”
