ROME, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Delfin, the Del Vecchio family's holding company, is reportedly considering selling its 2.7% stake in UniCredit, as per sources in the banking sector cited by the Corriere della Sera newspaper.
The potential sale, valued at nearly 2 billion euros ($2.06 billion), may involve an accelerated book building process, with a decision expected to be reached by Wednesday or Thursday, the newspaper noted.
When approached for comment, Delfin declined to provide any statement.
UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel acknowledged Delfin as a steadfast investor, expressing his respect for their deliberation. He remarked, "My job is to prove them wrong if they choose to sell, as they have not made a decision yet."
