Credito_Valtellinese
Credito Valtellinese (known as Creval) was an Italian bank based in Sondrio (in Lombardy, Italy) prior to its acquisition by Crédit Agricole Italia in 2021. The company was a former component of FTSE Italia Mid Cap Index of the Borsa Italiana (Milan Stock Exchange), but was removed and added as a component of FTSE Italia Small Cap Index in May 2017;[3] the bank was added back to the reserve list of FTSE Italia Mid Cap in August 2017.[4]
The bank was named after the area Valtellina. The bank had 363 branches in Northern Italy (as Credito Valtellinese),[5] 40 branches in Marche and Umbria (former Carifano), and 133 branches in Sicily (as Credito Siciliano).[5] Credito Siciliano had three more branches outside the island of Sicily.
It had a market share of 32% in Sondrio. However, only 2.9% in whole Lombardy region in terms of deposits, as of 30 June 2014, as well as only 1.7% in terms of branches as the 10th of Italy.[5]
Since 2021, it is part of Crédit Agricole Italia after a successful takeover bid by Crédit Agricole Italia. Crédit Agricole successfully concludes the tender offer, acquiring 91.17% of the shares in Creval, for a cost of 855 million. The delisting from the Italian Stock Exchange took place on Friday 4 June 2021 following the success of the residual takeover bid and the consequent "squeeze-out", which led Crédit Agricole to hold 100% of the capital of Creval.
