Group business and recovery plan
The Board of Directors also examined the strategic guidelines of the Group’s Industrial and Recovery Plan, designed to face the situation of financial tension arising from the crisis of TerniEnergia. The Plan is based on the assumption that only in the medium term Italeaf will be able to refer to the flows deriving from TerniEnergia itself, after it has been reorganised; in this context, Italeaf’s Business an Recovery Guidelines envisage:
- Extraordinary transactions aimed at reducing and accelerating the repayment of the current bank exposure. The extraordinary transactions currently being evaluated by the management are:
- potential disposal of the industrial site and buildings located in Nera Montoro (TR) and related management activities. To date, the negotiation activities have led to a first expression of interest and to the signing of the related NDA;
- potential intervention of third party investors, in co-participation, in the investee companies Numanova and Skyrobotic with the aim of guaranteeing a sufficient capital contribution for the definitive take-off of the two companies, currently in the initial “expansion” phase. It is expected that the possible intervention of third party capital can also be implemented through the sale of controlling stakes in Numanova and Skyrobotic.
- Business continuity: Italeaf may continue to provide services (administrative, management, full service, etc.) to the Group and/or any third parties that may take over the asset disposal process initiated by the subsidiary TerniEnergia.
- Streamlining: Management has begun a process of optimising and rationalising of the operating and structural costs of Italeaf S.p.A.. Any acceleration and/or reduction targets will be closely linked to the progress of negotiations with third parties involved in the disposal plan of TerniEnergia and of the Nera Montoro industrial site.
Finally, the Board of Directors took note of the resignation of the Chairman of Italeaf’s Board of Statutory Auditors, Paolo Sebastiani, and of the Alternate Auditor, Marco Rosatelli, both for personal reasons. The Chairman Stefano Neri, on behalf of the entire Board, expressed his thanks to Mr. Sebastiani for his commitment and work and for the valuable contribution he has made to Italeaf.
Having taken note of the resignation of Mr. Sebastiani and Mr. Rosatelli, in accordance with the law and the bylaws, Caterina Brescia took up the office of standing Auditor. The Board of Statutory Auditors has appointed Prof. Andrea Bellucci as its new Chairman.
