- At a Thursday finance conference, Orlopp named an HVB share swap as an option to increase UniCredit’s Commerzbank stake.
- The three basic structures are an HVB share swap, a Commerzbank-UniCredit merger, and another offer to remaining shareholders.
- UniCredit has sought to acquire Commerzbank for more than two years and now holds nearly 50 percent despite opposition.
- According to Orlopp, another offer would most likely include a premium; its aim could be a UniCredit stake above 90 percent.
All three basic options are on the table.— Bettina Orlopp, Commerzbank CEO, said at a financial conference that all three basic options are on the table.

- UniCredit increased its stake to about 20% by mid-2025 through financial derivatives and stock conversions, surpassing the government as largest shareholder.
- In early 2026, UniCredit presented a voluntary takeover offer, which was rejected by Commerzbank's leadership and employee representatives as hostile.
- By July 2026, UniCredit expanded its holdings to over 44%, with plans to raise the stake close to 48% via additional options.
