Commerzbank again Asks Investors to Reject UniCredit Bid

FRANKFURT, June 26 (Reuters) - Commerzbank on Friday ​published a letter to ‌shareholders again asking them to reject UniCredit's bid to buy ​shares, maintaining its ​months-long resistance to any ⁠deal as an offer ​period enters its ​final stretch.

The letter, which was signed by CEO Bettina Orlopp ​and will be ​mailed to shareholders in the ‌coming ⁠days, said UniCredit's offer isn't high enough and that the Italian ​bank ​had ⁠not presented a "sound plan" that builds ​on the German ​bank's ⁠strengths.

"Do not accept UniCredit's offer; keep your ⁠investment ​with Commerzbank," ​said the letter.
