Why It Matters
Pininfarina Holdings already holds 78.8% of Pininfarina and aims to gain full control through a voluntary takeover bid.
Pininfarina Holdings, which already holds 78.8% of Pininfarina, has launched a voluntary public takeover offer for the company's ordinary shares listed on Euronext Milan. The operation is aimed at delisting the shares.
The takeover bid concerns a maximum of 16,660,587 shares, equal to 21.177% of the company's share capital. The 62,013,249 shares, corresponding to 78.823% of the capital, already held by Pininfarina Holdings are excluded. The expected consideration is 1 euro in cash for each share tendered. The price incorporates a 20% premium compared to the official price recorded at the close of 15 September 2026. The premium rises to 19.7% compared to the weighted average of the prices of the last month, 22% on the average of the last three months, 26.9% on that of the six months and 22.3% on the average of the previous twelve months.
The operation therefore aims to take Pininfarina out of the stock market through the purchase of the shares still held by the market.
