Banca Intesa unit dumped bonds after Parmalat's breach of promise

Parmalat was forced to buy back half a €300m ($382m) bond issue after breaking a promise to stop raising debt.

Nextra Investment Management, the asset management arm of Banca Intesa, was the sole investor in the original bond launched in June 2003, as a private placement via sole lead manager Morgan Stanley. It bought after Parmalat promised not to raise any more debt in the immediate future.
