BaFin Fines Nomura Over Voting Rights Notification
Germany's financial regulator BaFin has fined Japanese bank Nomura €320,000 for failing to timely disclose voting rights notifications during UniCredit's takeover offer for Commerzbank. The violations occurred in May and June 2026. Nomura had secured voting rights in Commerzbank through equity swaps on behalf of UniCredit, contributing to UniCredit's total voting stake of 47.6%. BaFin requires notifications within four trading days when certain shareholding thresholds are crossed. Nomura reported an 8.1% stake on May 7, predominantly through options. The fine is relatively small compared to Nomura's record profit of about €2 billion for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The regulatory approval process for UniCredit's takeover is expected to complete by year-end.
