Fondo italiano published a note stressing that “the Fund did not start any sale process for its stake in Megadyne’s share capital”, while “Megadyne is valuing, through a mandated advisor, possible alternatives for extraordinary transactions going from merging with other companies in the sector to listing on a Stock Exchange. All of that being decided in agreement with Fondo Italiano as a minority shareholder”
