From a political, moral and corporate identity point of view, this is a slap in the face of the entire Shareholders’ Meeting and its sensational delegitimization. Verona deserves much more.
After June 24 the members of catholic have voted on the issues ofAssembly of 27, in the middle of the night the management team of catholic he announced what had evidently decided previously. That is, an agreement with General for the latter’s entry into the company, with the capital increase through an investment of € 300 million, which correspond to 54,054 million shares at the unit price of € 5.55, with a significant premium compared to the current stock price on the stock exchange, which correspond to 24.4% of the share capital.
In tal modo Generali becomes the largest shareholder, and already from this possible condition, it dictated strictly the conditions of the operation which provide for the convening of one Extraordinary assembly from catholic by July 31 to approve the transformation of the company into Spa and consequent change of the Statute. All this as a prerequisite for the investment itself. The board of Cattolica he has also decided on the capital increase of another 200 million to be proposed to current members, albeit General maintains the possibility of subscribing in part or all of this additional quota in order to reach the figure of 500 million by 30 September, indicated by theIvass to adjust the solvency ratio. Halter conditions compared toCatholic identity, also the result of a financial and equity condition that had not been explicit.
