History

Cassa di Risparmio di Pisa was formed on 15 June 1834.[1]

Casse Toscane

Due to Legge Amato, the bank was split into an ente and a società per azioni on 7 April 1992 (gazetted on 6 May).[2] About 13.05% shares of the new company were preferred shares (Italian: Azione di risparmio).[2] The ente immediately sold about 70% shares to Casse Toscane (and received 11.5% shares of Casse Toscane), a new intermediate holding company for the saving bank (Italian: Cassa di Risparmio) of Pisa, Florence, Livorno, Lucca, Pistoia–Pescia, San Miniato and Banca del Monte di Lucca. The ente only hold about 16.95% shares of the bank directly or about 25% combined (excluding the preferred shares).[2]

Casse del Tirreno

In 1995, CR Pisa, Livorno, Lucca and Banca Monte Lucca quit the union and formed Holding Casse del Tirreno (literally Tyrrhenian saving banks).[1][3]

Banca Popolare di Lodi

In 1999, C.R. Pisa, Livorno and Lucca were acquired by Banca Popolare di Lodi (BPL) through sub-holding companies.

In 2000 C.R. Pisa had 59 branches. At that time Casse del Tirreno owned 61.69% shares of C.R. Pisa S.p.A.. Istituto di Credito delle Casse di Risparmio Italiane acted as an intermediate holding company (ICCRI, a subsidiary of Bipielle Partecipazioni, another intermediate holding company) that owned 50.01% Casse del Tirreno. However, CR Pisa SpA also owned 1.35% of Casse del Tirreno.[4]

In 2001 Casse del Tirreno was absorbed into ICCRI – Banca Federale Europea (ex-ICCRI), which hold 61.31% shares of CR Pisa; Bipielle Partecipazioni owned an additional 12.97% shares of CR Pisa S.p.A.[5] Pisa Foundation also became a minority shareholders of ICCRI for 7.32%, due to the transactions.[6]

In 2002 Bipielle Retail became the new intermediate holding company for the 74.28% shares,[7] while Pisa Foundation owned 25.63% shares of CR Pisa S.p.A., as well as 3.91% of BPL's sub-holding Bipielle Investimenti.[8]

In 2003, through CR Lucca S.p.A. (and another intermediate holding company Reti Bancarie), BPL completely privatized CR Pisa SpA.[9] Pisa Foundation owned 7.48% shares of CR Lucca S.p.A. instead.[10] However, BPL and Pisa Foundation also signed an agreement on 12 December 2003 that BPL would buy the shares from the foundation before 15 January 2008.[10] BPL also bough the shares of Bipielle Investimenti from the foundation.[10]

Absorbed to CR Lucca Pisa Livorno

In 2006 CR Pisa SpA was completely absorbed into CR Lucca SpA, which the latter was renamed into CR Lucca, Pisa & Livorno SpA. Immediately after the merger, on 1 July 2006 Pisa Foundation owned 6.66% shares of the new entity.[11] The last annual report of CR Pisa SpA shown the bank had a shareholders equity of €504.789 million on 31 December 2005.[12]
