(ANSA) - ROME, APRIL 11 - The Benettons and the Blackstone fund would be ready to launch a defensive takeover bid on Atlantia as early as Wednesday.
Bloomberg writes this, citing sources close to the alternation.
The same sources also explain that the holding company Edizione, which controls 33% of Atlantia, aims to involve the other shareholders in the plan to take over the company and then delist it, that is to remove it from the stock exchange, and in this context, together with the Blackstone fund, would be talking with the sovereign fund of Singapore Gic Pte and the Cassa di Risparmio di Torino Foundation to study the project.
Together Gic and Crt control 13% of Atlantia.
In the meantime, the stock reverses its course on the Stock Exchange and rises again after opening trading this morning in a sharp decline.
