EXOR ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF AN
ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD OFFERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 4% OF FERRARI’S
OUTSTANDING SHARES
- Exor
remains fully committed to supporting Ferrari’s strategy as well as
remaining its largest shareholder for the long-term
- No
changes in Ferrari’s governance structure following the
transaction
- The transaction will reduce
concentration within Exor’s portfolio. Sale proceeds of
approximately €3 billion are intended to be used to pursue
diversification through a sizeable new acquisition and to launch a
new share buyback program for €1 billion
Exor N.V. (“Exor”) announces that it intends to
sell approximately 7 million of the common shares it holds in
Ferrari N.V. (“Ferrari”) (representing approximately 4% of the
outstanding common shares of Ferrari) by way of an accelerated
bookbuild offering to institutional investors (the “Offering”).
This transaction will reduce concentration
within Exor’s portfolio and allow for a sizeable new acquisition,
when such an opportunity present itself, as Exor continues to
pursue its purpose of building great companies.
In addition, Exor intends to use a portion of
the proceeds from this transaction to launch a new share buyback
program for €1 billion.
Exor remains fully committed as a long-term
shareholder of Ferrari. Exor currently holds 24.9% of Ferrari’s
economic rights and 36.7% of the voting rights in the share capital
of Ferrari1. Post completion of the announced
transaction, Exor will remain Ferrari’s single largest shareholder
with approximately 20% of the economic rights and 30% of the voting
rights in Ferrari’s share capital. Moreover, in the context of the
transaction, Exor has agreed to enter into a 360-day lock-up
commitment, with respect to its remaining common shares of
Ferrari.
All the governance arrangements with respect to
the shareholding in Ferrari will remain unchanged following the
transaction, including the shareholders’ agreement between Exor and
Piero Ferrari and Trust Piero Ferrari, who together will continue
to have a voting interest in Ferrari close to 50%.
John Elkann, Chief Executive Officer of Exor,
said: “Over the last decade, Ferrari’s performance has been a major
driver behind Exor’s tripling its NAV, and its success has taken
its share in our portfolio from approximately 15% to approximately
50% of NAV. The transaction will allow us to reduce our
concentration and improve diversification by making a sizeable new
acquisition, consistent with our purpose of building great
companies. Our support to Ferrari and our trust in its solid future
is unwavering. Our commitment to remain its largest shareholder for
the long term is stronger than ever.”
The bookbuilding period will commence
immediately following this announcement and may close at any time
on short notice. The completion of the bookbuilding process and the
results of the Offering will be announced as soon as practicable
thereafter.
The Offering is expected to settle on 3 March
2025.
Goldman Sachs Bank Europe and J.P. Morgan are
acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners (the
"Joint Global Coordinators") for the Offering.
