This was reported by two sources who attended today's meeting of the partners in the agreement.

"The accounts went well, everyone is satisfied," one of the sources said at the end of the meeting.

At the end of October, the board of directors and the term of current CEO Alberto Nagel expires. At the helm of the bank since 2008. Nagel over the past two years has come under the crosshairs of two Mediobanca shareholders-Delfin, Leonardo Del Vecchio's holding company with 19.8 percent, and Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone with 5.6 percent-who have criticized his strategy. Neither Delfin nor Caltagirone are adhering to the consultation agreement.

For the renewal of the board, Mediobanca's current board will begin work to present its own list.Delfin and Caltagirone have already challenged Mediobanca, coming out the losers, at the renewal of Generali's board by presenting an alternative candidate for the role of Ceo to Philippe Donnet, proposed by the outgoing board and supported by Piazzetta Cuccia.

Nagel will present the institution's new strategic plan within the year. Mediobanca will exceed the targets of the current one, which ends in June.

Revenues for the first six months reached 1.66 billion, more than half the plan target of 3 billion for the entire year. Net income for the first six months was 555 million, the highest half-year profit ever.

Last week Massimo Doris, CEO of Banca Mediolanum, one of the main shareholders in the consultation agreement, expressed "full confidence" in Nagel "because he is leading the bank well."
