Today, the special meeting of IFI preferred stockholders was held under the chairmanship of the common representative, Mr Luigi Santa Maria.
At the opening of the meeting, it has been reiterated the position of the company, already expressed several times in the press releases on the merger of IFIL in IFI, namely, that the second paragraph of article 7 of the IFI bylaws does not require the vote of the special meeting of IFI preferred stockholders in order to issue savings shares following the merger of IFIL in IFI.
The common representative reported to the special meeting on contacts with the company. Such contacts have not led to any change in the terms of the merger nor to any commitments of the company toward preferred stockholders.
