slips Finmeccanica in Piazza Affari (-0,5%) after the Sole 24 Ore wrote that the giant Thales would be about to present a binding offer on the subsidiaries Ansaldo Sts and Ansaldo Breda. The companies already have alliances in Thales Alenia Space and Telespazio, so the French proposal would also provide for a revision of the agreements already signed.
According to other rumors, the enhancement of the purchase price of Ansaldo Sts (-1,5% to 8,73 euros) would be equal to 8,9 euros per share, after the indiscretion of 12 euros circulated last week in the wake of rumors about the offer from China Cnr Corporation/Insigma Group.
