Bank

The bank was found by local mount of piety, which itself was found in 1491. Due to 1990s Italian banking reform, the bank transformed from a statutory corporation to a società per azioni, by incorporating Banca del Monte e Cassa di Risparmio Faenza S.p.A. as a subsidiary of the statutory corporation. At the same time the articles of association of the statutory corporation were modified to become a private legal person, as Fondazione Banca del Monte e Cassa di Risparmio Faenza, or Fondazione Monte Faenza in short). Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna (Carisbo) also subscribed to the capital increase of the S.p.A. [2] At the same time the banking foundation of B.M.C.R. Faenza, subscribed to a minority stake in Casse Emiliano Romagnole, the holding company of Carisbo, by injecting part of the stake of B.M.C.R. Faenza S.p.A. as capital. [2]

The S.p.A. was merged with Cassa di Risparmio e Banca del Monte Lugo to form Banca di Romagna in 1995.

Banking foundation

Fondazione Banca del Monte e Cassa di Risparmio Faenza was the owner of the bank since 1992 until the merger in 1995. After the merger the foundation was a shareholder of Banca di Romagna. In 1999 Banca di Romagna was merged with Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena (Carisp Cesena). [3] A new holding company, Unibanca, owned both Carisp Cesena and Banca di Romagna, while the foundation owned the share of Unibanca instead, for 6.877% stake. [4] In 2010 Carisp Cesena was absorbed by Unibanca, but Unibanca was renamed to Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena at the same time. [5]

As at 31 December 2015, the foundation still owned 6.462% stake in Carisp Cesena. [6] However, after Carisp Cesena suffered from huge write-down and provision for their bad loan, the bank was bail-out by the voluntary scheme of Fondo Interbancario di Tutela dei Depositi for €280 million in September 2016. 560 million new shares were issued, making the stake of B.M.C.R. Faenza Foundation diluted to 0.31%, despite the foundation also receiving free warrants for additional new shares.

The foundation, as at 31 December 2015, also owned 0.010% of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. The shareholders' equity of the foundation was €17,913,448. However, about half of the value was contributed by the value of the shares of Carisp Cesena. [7] The failure of the bank would affect the equity of the foundation in 2016.

The foundation was a member of Associazione di Fondazioni e di Casse di Risparmio S.p.A.
