Updates with own sourcing, meeting details
BERLIN, Nov 15 (Reuters) -Commerzbank CBKG.DE and UniCreditCRDI.MI held a round of investor talks this week, a person briefed on the matter said on Friday, the second such interaction since Italy's No. 2 bank disclosed in September that it had snapped up a significant stake in the German lender.
Commerzbank CEO Bettina Orlopp was on the call, but not her counterpart at UniCredit, Andrea Orcel, the person said on condition of anonymity.
It was not immediately clear who represented UniCredit. A spokesperson for UniCredit was not immediately available for comment.
The person said the discussion focused on Commerzbank's earnings in the third quarter.
Handelsblatt first reported that the call took place and that a possible tie-up was not discussed.
Orlopp said last week that an investor call with UniCredit would take place soon.
The first such talk was in September.
