History edit

Found 1871 as Banca Agricola Provinciale Mantovana,[2] Banca Agricola Mantovana (BAM) was a cooperative bank based in Mantua. In 1932 Banca Mutua Popolare di Mantova was merged with Banca Agricola Mantovana.[2] In 1989 the bank absorbed Banca Operaia di Bologna.

In 1998, the bank formed a joint venture agreement with Unipol in Quadrifoglio Vita, an insurance company that operated in BAM's network.[3] BAM also acquired a minority ownership in Finsoe, the intermediate parent company of Unipol. As at 31 December 2000, BAM held 5.601% of Finsoe.[4]

BAM was acquired by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (Banca MPS) in 1999. Circa 1999–2000 the bank was changed from a cooperative society (S.C.) to a limited company (società per Azioni). In 2000 Banca MPS controlled 51.487% shares.[4] It was increased to 52.311% in 2001[5] and 65.546% in 2002.[6] In 2003 Banca MPS acquired 100% shares of BAM and Banca Toscana.[7][8] Sanpaolo IMI was a minority shareholders of BAM for 8.49% as at 31 December 2001, which was sold to Banca MPS for €206 million.

On 21 September 2008 BAM was absorbed into Banca MPS.[9][10] While Quadrifoglio Vita was transformed to a joint venture of AXA and Banca MPS in the same year, as well as Banca MPS sold all the shares of Finsoe, the parent company of Unipol.
