For more than a decade, Merrill Lynch has helped UniCredito Italiano SpA (UniCredit) grow and strengthen its business. When UniCredit wanted to expand beyond Italy, long-time advisor Andrea Orcel and his European investment banking team found an opportunity to transform UniCredit into a regional powerhouse. In the largest European cross-border bank transaction in history, UniCredit acquired German bank, HVB AG. Leading the complex deal, including three public offerings in three different countries, Merrill Lynch proved that in today's global marketplace, the right response to "grazie" may just be "bitte sehr!"
