Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli was an Italian retail bank and charity organization, based in Vercelli, Piedmont. In 1991 it was split into Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli S.p.A. and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli. The former was merged with another Piedmontese bank Cassa di Risparmio di Biella in 1994.

Bank

Cassa di Risparmio della Città e Provincia di Vercelli was formed in 1852.[1] Due to Legge Amato, it was split into Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli S.p.A. and Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli on 23 December 1991 (gazetted on 24 January 1992).[2] In late 1994, the company was merged with Cassa di Risparmio di Biella, in a ratio of 26.2% (Vercelli) and 73.8% (Biella).[3]

Bank foundation

Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Vercelli was the owner of all of share capitals of the bank in 1992, for €35 billion lire par value. However, after the merger, the foundation only owned 26.2% of 235 billion lire share capitals of Cassa di Risparmio di Biella e Vercelli, due to difference in shareholders equity and share capitals. The foundation further reduced the ownership as their investment in 1997 by selling around 14.4% shares of the bank to Banca Commerciale Italiana. After 2008 recapitalization of the bank, the foundation further reduced to own about 6% shares of the bank only.

As of 31 December 2014, the foundation had a minority ownership in Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and CDP Reti. It had a shareholders equity of €114,600,761.[4]
