ROME (Reuters) - The Chief Executive of Banco BPM said on Friday the bank will appeal to an administrative court against a decision by bourse regulator Consob to suspend a takeover bid by Unicredit.

Giuseppe Castagna told daily Il Sole 24 Ore that the current stalemate was preventing Banco BPM from taking part in the intense M&A activity underway in Italy's banking sector.
