Credit Agricole SA said late on Wednesday that it has crossed
the 95% threshold in Credito Valtellinese SCARL and that it will
reach 100% ownership of the Italian bank's share capital via a
squeeze-out procedure.
The French bank will thus get the full control of CreVal shares
for a total amount of 861 million euros ($1.05 billion).
Credit Agricole plans to merge Credito Valtellinese with its
Italian business Credit Agricole Italia next year.
