Alberto Galassi_CEO Ferretti Group

Karel Komárek's partial takeover bid for Ferretti Group has closed, raising approximately 8,7% of the capital, equal to nearly 57% of the offering, bringing the total stake to 23,2%. The transaction, conducted through KKCG Maritime, involved an outlay of €202 million, increasing the group's stake to 29,9% from 14,5% in the luxury yachting group.

The focus now shifts to governance, with the shareholders' meeting scheduled for a month from now, May 14th, when the votes on the slates for the new board of directors will be counted. Among the key shareholders, Weichai, which holds 39,2% of the capital, remains central.

Meanwhile, however, significant movements have also been recorded among the other shareholders: Kuwaiti entrepreneur Bader Nasser Al-Kharafi has increased his stake from 3% to 5%, while the stance of the other institutional shareholders remains unclear.

In this context, the influence of CEO Alberto Galassi in the assembly dynamics could prove decisive.
