Private equity firm J.C. Flowers has completed the acquisition of the French subsidiary of Italy’s Monte dei Paschi di Siena, marking the finalization of a transaction first agreed in 2025. Financial terms were not disclosed.

💥 Explore how private equity investors are reshaping financial services businesses at the 9th Private Equity Europe Forum, September 15-16, in London: https://hubs.li/Q04jSlpK0

The deal follows Monte dei Paschi’s commitment to divest foreign operations under a restructuring plan tied to its state bailout and subsequent reprivatization. The French business managed approximately €1 billion in assets and had largely paused new business activities while awaiting regulatory approvals and completion of the sale.

Ilinca Rosetti, Operating Partner at J.C. Flowers, said the firm’s banking expertise and operational capabilities position it to execute a significant transformation of the business and strengthen its presence in the French financial services market.
