Representatives of Pirelli commented on rumors of selling part of the shares
Around the Pirelli brand, various rumors have been circulating actively over the past week. As we mentioned earlier, it's about the possible sale of a portion of shares to an unnamed shareholder.
At the request of the Italian Securities and Exchange Commission, the company's representatives made an official statement, commenting on rumors that the head of the corporation, Mr. Marco Tronchetti Provera, is currently meeting with an Asian company to discuss a partial or full takeover of Pirelli.
The brand's official position at the moment is as follows: "The company has not received any offer to sell a portion of shares or a controlling stake to anyone as of today." This information appeared in the company's official press release released a few hours ago.
However, as is known, there is no smoke without fire. The situation is fueled by the fact that Marco Tronchetti Provera stated at the beginning of 2014 that he wanted to sell his share package within a year or two. It is quite possible that he has not abandoned this idea.
