Ferrari largest shareholders
Last month, the two largest shareholders of Ferrari—Exor SpA, the holding company of the Agnelli family and Piero Ferrari—who own nearly 50% of the voting rights, signed an agreement to protect the Italian sports-car manufacturer from unwanted takeovers. The agreement takes effect following the separation.
Exor is the largest shareholder of Ferrari with 24% stake and 33.4% voting rights while Mr. Ferrari owns 10% stake and 15.4% of the voting rights after the spinoff. Both control almost 49% voting rights.
Under the agreement, if Mr. Ferrari decided to sell his stake to a third party, Exor has the right to buy his shares at the price, which he might receive from a potential buyer.
On the other hand, if Exor wants to sell its stake, Mr. Ferrari has the right to make the first offer to buy. Exor may accept or reject his offer.
Exor Chairman and CEO John Elkan previously stated that both families signed the agreement to guarantee Ferrari’s stability, strength, and uniqueness in the future.
