All eyes are on them. Two of the major realities of Italian information, the RCS group and Rai, are experiencing a particularly agitated period.
Rcs Media Group. The Rotelli family, the first private shareholder and outside the syndicate pact with 16,55%, after having given its support to the capital strengthening operation, withdrew from the subscription. As a result, the race to purchase the rights relating to the robust participation of the entrepreneur at the head of the San Donato and San Raffaele hospital group in Milan has started, which could change the balance and weights in the field. As regards the closing periodicals, today the Board of Directors analyzed the definitive offers received and resolved to proceed with the choice of the buyer, giving the CEO Pietro Scott Jovane a mandate to finalize the operation. According to rumors, the offers would come from PRS Communications, the Veneziani group and Visibilia.
Rai. In the wake of the introduction of Greek public television (ERT) on the market – however rejected by the Greek Council of State – the evergreen idea of privatizing Rai is making a comeback, even if the parties are unlikely to let go. To speak are the analysts of Mediobanca Securities who have carried out a study according to which privatizing the concessionaire of our public radio and television service would bring 2,1 billion to the Treasury coffers. A not exciting collection that the studio coordinator Fabio Pavan justified as follows: "Rai's profitability is well below that of the sector average, even if this gap would be compensated by considering a control premium in the event of a sale". In other words, the potential buyer would have significant spaces for efficiency, provided that he succeeds in revolutionizing the company, which has always been the queen of waste and inefficiency.
