Record EUR 3 billion Ferrari ABB by Exor

+ 3 other team members

De Brauw has acted as lead counsel to Exor in its EUR 3 billion sale of Ferrari N.V. common shares through an accelerated bookbuild offering, constituting the largest ABB in the Eurozone of at least the last 10 years. The transaction will reduce concentration in Exor's portfolio and allow for a sizeable new acquisition, when such an opportunity presents itself. Exor also intends to use a portion of the proceeds to launch a new EUR 1 billion share buyback program. Following completion of the transaction, Exor will remain Ferrari's single largest shareholder with c. 20% of the economic rights and c. 30% of the voting rights in Ferrari's share capital and remains fully committed as a long-term shareholder of Ferrari. In the context of the transaction, Exor has entered into a 360-day lock-up commitment, with respect to its remaining common shares of Ferrari. Ferrari participated in the ABB by purchasing c. 10% of the total offering for c. EUR 300 million.
