Italy's Generali says not planning any merger

LONDON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Italian insurer Generali (EUREX: 566030.EX - news) 's Chief Executive Philippe Donnet said on Tuesday the company was not planning to merge with AXA (Paris: FR0000120628 - news) or with any other company.

"We do not intend to merge with anybody, we do not intend to merge with AXA," Donnet told a reinsurance conference in Monte Carlo in response to a question.

"What they intend to do I don't know, you should ask them, there is not that much I can do about it anyway."

Speculation about a merger between the two companies has re-emerged in recent months.
