The board list, led by CEO Philippe Donnet and chairman Andrea Sironi, ticks off the one proposed by Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone for the renewal of the Generali board. This is what was sanctioned by the vote that just took place in the Lion’s assembly. The first, supported by Mediobanca and foreign funds, received favorable votes equal to 55.992% of those present at the meeting (70.6% of the capital participated in the vote) while that promoted by the Roman entrepreneur, for which Leonardo also voted Del Vecchio, Crt Foundation and the Benettons, received 41.73%.

In absolute terms the two lists have collected respectively 39.5% and 29.4% for a difference of approximately 10%, therefore higher than 6%. In light of Mediobanca’s stock lending and De Agostini’s stake (now discontinued) which contributed to today’s vote in favor of the board list, failure to reach this gap, according to the candidate for president of the Caltagirone list, Claudio Costamagna, would have created the conditions for possible legal actions. The board will have 13 members and will not be represented by Assogestioni: 10 members will come from the board list and three from the Caltagirone list.

We go back to work, we have never stopped either. We are calm, with a team that is already committed, Donnet said. A very important break with the Caltagirone list… We are ready to work with the next board of directors, my point of reference. Did he expect it? We were convinced that we had made an excellent plan.
