- the eyes of investors in Piazza Affari are focused on Atlantia. In the middle of the day, the stock is at the top of the Ftse Mib (+0,27%) with an increase of 1,8% to 21,83 euros. Very high volumes. To push the purchases are some rumors published by Sun 24 Hours according to which the Benetton family would be ready to launch a reorganization of the group, defining a new governance and a new structure.
The attention of the Stock Exchange is concentrated above all on the possible sale of Aeroporti di Roma. In fact, according to the business newspaper, while waiting to understand what will happen to the concessions held by Autostrade per l'Italia, Atlantia is reportedly thinking of selling ADR, putting 49% of the company on the market. In numbers it is a deal worth around 5 billion euros.
Among the hypotheses in the field there is also that of launch procedures to enhance the Telepass package, whose value would be similar to that of Adr. The idea would be to open the capital to third parties, in particular pension funds, sovereign or infrastructure funds, capable of bringing Atlantia to other markets. As far as Governance is concerned, the appointment of the new CEO to replace Giovanni Castellucci is on the table. Indeed the names, because there could be two CEOs. By February, he writes Il Sole 24 Ore "However, Atlantia will have a top management made up of two CEOs, one more focused on home-based activities, and therefore presumably Italy and Europe, and one with a more international scope". Totonomi has already started: according to rumors, Carlo Bertazzo, former director of Atlantia, should be in pole position for one of the two places.
