Monte dei Paschi said the investor, banking industry bailout
fund Atlante, had expressed "deep reservations" in a letter
dated Dec. 17 over the terms of a bridge loan accord. The loan
is an essential part of the bank's plan to sell 28 billion euros
($29.2 billion) in bad loans and raise 5 billion in capital.
It said it was trying to resolve the issue with Atlante.
"If issues raised by (Atlante's manager) Quaestio cannot be
solved, the operation could not be concluded by Dec. 31, 2016 as
requested by the European Central Bank," the bank said in a
statement.
