MILAN (Reuters) - A group of UBI Banca (MI:UBI) shareholders postponed a meeting, scheduled on Monday, to discuss Intesa Sanpaolo's (MI:ISP) takeover offer to comply with measures against the coronavirus outbreak in Italy, the group said on Monday.

Intesa last week announced an all-paper offer to buy smaller peer UBI and create the euro zone's seventh-largest bank by assets, focused on wealth management and insurance and in charge of more than 1.1 trillion euros in customers' financial assets.

The group of shareholders, from the northern town of Brescia, holds about 8.4% of UBI's share capital.

Last week a separate shareholder association, which represents a another group of local investors holding a total of 18% of UBI Banca stock, rejected Intesa's offer, raising questions on the positive outcome of the bid.
