Unanimous go-ahead for the 300 million capital increase by Alitalia's board of directors. This can be learned from the statements released after the meeting by one of the directors of the airline, Maurizio Traglio: "We have approved the increase according to the plan" he said, confirming that "everyone" has given the go-ahead.
According to rumors, the CEO of the Post Office Massimo Sarmi has begun work on a new business plan for Alitalia. The postal investment can reach up to 75 million with a not negligible post-increase percentage. Sarmi wanted to specify that for the investment "no resource deriving from postal current accounts or postal savings bonds and savings books" can be used, the resources "will be obtained exclusively from the available liquidity of the Post Office".
The shareholders' meeting is convened at 14pm in Rome on Monday 17th. Also present will be the accountant Mario Tagarelli, custodian and administrator of the assets seized in Riva Fire, the holding company that controls Ilva spa and which is the largest shareholder of Alitalia with 10,6%, equal to just under 100 million euros. Riva Fire's shares in Alitalia are among the assets seized in recent weeks by the Guardia di Finanza.
