Intesa Sanpaolo SpA said late Monday that it now owns around 91% of Unione di Banche Italiane SpA's capital after the closing of a successful takeover bid for its smaller Italian rival.

Intesa said that 90.2% of UBI's shares were tendered to the offer and that, according to the law regarding compulsory squeeze-out, it will purchase the remaining shares that represent roughly 9.8% of UBI's capital.

If conditions are met, UBI's shares will be delisted, it said.

Intesa launched a bid to take over its smaller rival in February, in a deal that is set to create Italy's largest bank.
