European stock movers in focus:

----------

Schneider Electric, down 8.8% at EUR276.35, 12-month range EUR220.40-EUR312.30. It will acquire industrial software firm PTC Inc in a deal worth around USD23 billion. The Paris-based electrical equipment company says the acquisition will expand its industrial software offering and create "the industry's most complete software & AI powerhouse". Schneider will pay USD205 in cash per share in Boston, Massachusetts-based PTC, a 42% premium to its USD144.03 closing price in New York on Friday. The deal values PTC's equity at USD22.6 billion and gives it an enterprise value of USD23.7 billion.

Mediobanca, down 6.2% at EUR25.70, 12-month range EUR14.98-EUR29.22. Intesa Sanpaolo Spa urges shareholders to consider voting against a merger of Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena Spa and Mediobanca. "ISP deems preferable that the merger between MPS and Mediobanca be executed by ISP management," Intesa says. In addition, Intesa has lifted the cash component of its bid for MPS by 25 cents to EUR1.25. The consideration for each MPS share will be EUR1.25 in cash plus 1.6 new Intesa shares. Intesa notes the overall value for MPS under the terms is EUR31.4 billion, EUR27.6 billion paid for in shares and EUR3.8 billion in cash. Intesa shares are up 0.8%. Banca MPS is up 0.5%.

The London-based telecommunications firm says the total cash impact in financial 2027 arising from the deals will be around GBP400 million, comprising both consideration and other cash impacts. After an unsuccessful sale process for TalkTalk's consumer and wholesale operations, BT says it had agreed the deal, "in the public interest, to protect customers and critical national infrastructure."

----------

Ithaca Energy, up 3.4% at 284.70p, 12-month range 149.80p-298.60p. It has agreed to buy a portfolio of offshore oil assets in Canada from Suncor Energy Inc for up to USD1.11 billion.
