Assicurazioni Generali SpA said late on Wednesday that Italian market regulator Consob has given the green light to its takeover offer for smaller peer Cattolica Assicurazioni SC.

The Italian insurer said the acceptance period is set to start on Oct. 4 and close on Oct. 29, unless otherwise extended.

As previously announced, Generali is offering a consideration equal to 6.75 euros ($7.9) a share for Cattolica. It already has a stake of about 24% in the company.
