COMPANIES

(*) MONTE DEI PASCHI DI SIENA BMPS.MI

The Tuscan lender "can and must" join forces with fellow Italian banks to build a "third pole" in the country's banking sector, CEO Luigi Lovaglio said in an interview published on Tuesday.

Speaking to La Repubblica newspaper, Lovaglio said he had "no comment" on whether Banco BPM BAMI.MI or BPER Banca EMII.MI would be the best partner for the state-controlled Tuscan lender.


BANCO BPM BAMI.MI

Italy's third-largest bank said on Monday it had exercised a call option to buy the remaining 65% stakes in both Vera Vita and Vera Assicurazioni from insurer Cattolica for a total of 392.5 million euros.


TELECOM ITALIA (TIM) TLIT.MI

(*) Italian state lender CDP is working with Macquarie MQG.AX on improving their joint offer for TIM's fixed line assets, La Repubblica newspaper said on Tuesday, adding that KKR KKR.N is also preparing a revised rival bid.

Telecom Italia's directors on Monday postponed a decision over the filling of a vacant seat on the former phone monopoly's board, two sources familiar with the matter said.


(*) JUVENTUS JUVE.MI

Juventus will propose a plea bargain with Italy's soccer prosecutors over a case involving irregularities in its payment of players' salaries, a source close to the matter told Reuters. A hearing with the prosecutors will be held on Tuesday, the source added.

Several Italian newspapers on Tuesday said the club will propose paying a fine and being penalised another two or three points in this season's Serie A championship, on top of the 10 points it has already been docked for a separate case involving transfer deals.

The plea bargain as described in the newspapers would mean that on the basis of its position in Serie A, Juve would qualify for a place in the European Conference League next season, but it is likely to be barred from the competition by European soccer authorities, the newspapers write.
