The Benetton family and U.S. fund Blackstone have notified the Italian government about their takeover offer for Atlantia to secure Rome's green light before its launch, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Friday. Rome has special anti-takeover "golden powers" it can use to shield strategic assets, such as airports and digital infrastructure, when there is a change in the ownership structure. The bid, which values Atlantia at 58 billion euros ($60.4 billion) including debt, was filed last week with the government, one of the sources told Reuters.
Italy's Atlantia said on Thursday it picked BNP Paribas and Morgan Stanley to advise it on a 58 billion euro ($60 billion) takeover approach from the Benetton family and Blackstone to be launched later this year. The infrastructure group also confirmed its previous expectations for full-year revenue and core profits after reporting a 13% rise in first-quarter sales. Last month, Italy's Benetton family and U.S. investment fund Blackstone joined forces to propose a buyout offer for the motorway and airport operator, to take it private and stave off rival interest for the group.
Italy's Benetton family will change the name of the investment vehicle bidding to take control of Italian infrastructure group Atlantia after protests on behalf of the victims of the 2018 Genoa bridge disaster. The Benettons have teamed up with Blackstone to buy full control of Atlantia and in official documentation called the entity Schemaquarantatre (Scheme43). The motorway viaduct was operated by Autostrade per l'Italia, a business controlled by the Benetton-backed Atlantia until it completed the sale of the motorway business last week.
