Germany has formally rejected UniCredit's offer to buy Commerzbank shares, citing the price as too low and reaffirming support for an independent Commerzbank. The decision is a setback for UniCredit's consolidation ambitions and preserves state-backed resistance to a takeover. The news is mildly negative for UniCredit and could keep takeover speculation elevated around Commerzbank.
