History
Established in 1877 as Banca Popolare di Montebelluna, in the 1960s the bank started its expansion acquiring some local cooperative banks and savings banks, such as Banca Popolare di Intra. An intense development stage starts in 2000, with the expansion in North-West and Southern Italy and the acquiring of banks in Eastern Europe.
In 2001–2002 Veneto Banca acquired 29 branches of Nuova Banca Mediterranea from Banca di Roma, which were immediately injected to Banca Meridiana (ex-Banca Popolare del Levante). Banca Meridiana was merged with Banca Apulia, another subsidiary of Veneto Banca in 2010.
The banks was one of the fourteen largest banks of Italy, which were supervised by European Central Bank directly. The bank passed the stress test by recapitalization in 2014.[3]
Due to Decree-Law N°3/2015, the bank changed from a cooperative limited partnership (Italian: Società cooperativa per Azioni) to Società per Azioni in December 2015, affecting the calculation of voting rights (every shareholders had one vote regardless how many shares he had in cooperative society).[4] The Decree-Law required People's Bank with more than €8 billion total assets, had to registered as limited company instead. The bank also planned to recapitalize €1 billion in early 2016 (due to CET1 ratio was below ECB requirement of 10%), as well as planning to list in Borsa Italiana in mid-2016.
