MILAN, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Italian state lender Cassa
Depositi e Prestiti said on Friday it had decided to submit a
non-binding bid jointly with French bourse operator Euronext
for the Milan stock exchange Borsa Italiana.
Borsa has been put on the block by the London Stock Exchange
(LSE), which acquired it in 2007 and is now trying to
sell as part of antitrust remedies to clear its $27 billion
acquisition of data provider Refinitiv.
Sources told Reuters on Thursday Euronext had granted CDP
significant influence in the combined business to secure an
alliance with the Italian state agency in the competition for
Borsa Italiana.
