The Board of Directors of Pirelli & C. Spa met today and the majority approved the results to 31 March 2025 with the favourable vote of 9 out of 15 board members. Votes against were those of Chairman Jiao Jian and Board members Chen Aihua, Zhang Haitao, Chen Qian, Fan Xiaohua and Tang Grace.
The board members who expressed a contrary vote regarding the quarterly financial statement, were motivated in their dissent solely about the declaration – included in the subsequent events section of the statement itself - of the end of Sinochem’s control of Pirelli, by the IFRS10, disagreeing with the relative motivations, also in consideration of the fact that the shareholder pact between Camfin and CNRC/MPI Italy is still in force and that, in their opinion, therefore CNRC/MPI Italy maintains control over Pirelli by article 93 of the TUF.
