UniCredit SpA said it is in talks with Polish insurer PZU SA and state fund Polski Fundusz Rozwoju SA on the possible sale of a stake in Bank Pekao SA.

The Italian bank is exploring “the possibility of executing a deal involving its subsidiary Bank Pekao,” UniCredit said Saturday in a stock-exchange statement. “However, there can be no certainty as to the terms upon which any such transaction might potentially proceed.”
