The Gavio group, which holds 29,9% of Impregilo, adheres to the tender offer launched by Salini, keeping the 1,99% "purely as a financial investment". Now the Roman manufacturer is strengthening its control over Impregilo and, pending the conclusion of the takeover bid, has the road open for the merger project with the general contractor.
Instead, the Gavio family effectively says goodbye to Impregilo. The Tortona group, which had engaged in a battle with Salini for control of the construction giant, finally gave in and joined the takeover bid: it will therefore deliver 112 million shares to Pietro Salini's offer. However, 8 million pieces will be kept. At that point it will be a mere financial participation and no longer an industrial investment. This is how the participation in the group ends after 5 years.
