Wyser-Pratte Demands Independent Investigation into Leonardo SpA AGM Vote On May 7, 2026, Wyser-Pratte Management Co., Inc. demanded an independent investigation into Leonardo SpA Annual General Meeting vote, stating the shareholder meeting was conducted under restrictive and antidemocratic terms with no opportunity to speak, ask questions, or engage, capped at approximately 60 minutes and conducted through a company-designated proxyholder. In addition, Wyser-Pratte stated that while a Webex link for remote access failed at the exact moment the meeting was called to order, and the government slate prevailed by the narrowest of margins at 50.097% versus 49.481%, raising questions and demanding scrutiny, despite ISS and Glass Lewis recommending a vote against the government slate and in favor of the dissident slate submitted by Assogestioni, as a government controlling just 30.2% of share capital secured a majority, sending the wrong signal to global investors, as rules are bent, meetings are closed, shareholders are silenced, and votes are certified under conditions that invite no scrutiny, even as Leonardo reports strong performance including €23.8 billion orders, €19.5 billion revenues, and 91.75% total shareholder return.

Wyser-Pratte Management Urges Leonardo Shareholders to Vote No on CEO Cingolani's Replace Proposal On April 24, 2026, Wyser-Pratte Management Co., Inc., announced its alarm and disappointment regarding the Italian government's the Ministry of Economy and Finance recent interference in Leonardo S.p.A.'s management, specifically the replacement of CEO Roberto Cingolani. In addition, Wyser-Pratte, together with other minority shareholders, urged all Company shareholders to vote no on proposal, the ousting of CEO Roberto Cingolani, at the annual general meeting on May 7, 2026, citing that the government's actions undermine confidence in the Company's governance and put at risk the significant value created under Cingolani's leadership. Further, Wyser-Pratte Management highlighted that since Cingolani's appointment, Company's share price rose by more than 430%, headcount increased by nearly 9,200, and earnings and revenue compounded annually at approximately 10%, with meaningful acceleration in free cash flow and reduced Net Debt/EBITDA ratio. Furthermore, Wyser-Pratte warned that further government interference could damage shareholder value and stated its intention to pursue all available legal remedies, including litigation, to protect the rights of the company's owners if necessary.

Airbus, Thales and Leonardo Reportedly Near Deal on Merger of European Space Businesses Airbus SE (ENXTPA:AIR), Thales S.A. (ENXTPA:HO) and Leonardo S.p.a. (BIT:LDO) are nearing an agreement on the merger of their space businesses, the Financial Times reported on October 21, 2025. Under the deal, Airbus will own 35%, with the other two holding 32.5% each, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter. Airbus is expected to receive a payment from its new partners as compensation for limiting its stake to 35% despite its unit accounting for roughly half of the total turnover, the FT reported. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Airbus, Thales and Leonardo did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Reuters reported in September that the three European airspace groups had redoubled efforts to combine their satellite businesses into a EUR 10 billion ($11.66 billion) French-headquartered joint venture, dubbed "Project Bromo". The board of Italy's Leonardo held a crucial meeting on October 21, 2025 to review a tentative deal to forge a new European satellite manufacturer with its existing partner Thales and rival Airbus, Reuters reported earlier in the day. A potential deal could mark the latest attempt to tie together fragmented European assets and draw inspiration from a decision by France, Italy and Britain to set up the MBDA missiles venture in 2001.

Iveco Group's Defense Unit Reportedly Attracts US Buyout Firms Bain Capital , KPS Capital Bain Capital, LP and KPS Capital (KPS Capital Partners, LP) are interested in Iveco Group N.V. (BIT:IVG)’s defense unit, according to people familiar with the matter, as the Italian truckmaker looks to seize on the rising demand for military assets. The two US buyout firms have been considering bids for the business that makes armored and tactical vehicles, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private. Deliberations are ongoing and they could decide against pursuing any deal, the people said. Shares in Iveco extended their gains and rose as much as 4.8% on April 25, 2025 following the Bloomberg News report. The private equity firms have previously invested in aerospace and defense. The company announced in February that it was considering separating its defense unit through a spinoff. Iveco is seeking as much as €1.5 billion for the business, which includes the IDV brand, Bloomberg News reported in March. Any potential suitors could face an uphill battle to acquire the business. Rome-based defense company Leonardo S.p.a. (BIT:LDO) is considered the likeliest buyer, because the Italian government could prefer to keep the operations in local hands and the two companies already have supply agreements, according to people familiar with the matter. Leonardo — whose biggest shareholder is the Italian government - has been holding on-and-off talks with Iveco to buy the unit since last year, but so far the parties have been unable to agree on a price, people familiar with the matter said last month. Leonardo could make a bid with its joint venture partner Rheinmetall AG (XTRA:RHM), the people said at the time. KNDS NV (KMW+Nexter Defense Systems N.V.) and Czechoslovak Group (CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s.) are also among companies with possible interest in the Iveco business, the people said. Indra Sistemas, S.A. (BME:IDR), the state-backed Spanish defense and technology company that has said it’s looking to expand its military-related business, considered a potential bid but decided against it for now, the people said. Iveco could opt to list the business if it doesn’t get high enough bids, the people said. Representatives for Bain, KPS, Czechoslovak Group and Indra declined to comment. A representative for Iveco also declined to comment, adding that the board will provide an update in due course following all necessary internal and regulatory approvals. A spokesperson for KNDS didn’t immediately respond to queries. Ankündigung • Apr 14

Italy's Fincantieri in Talks to Buy Leonardo's was Unit Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri S.p.A. (BIT:FCT) is in talks with Leonardo (LDOF.MI), to buy the defence group's submarine unit Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subacquei (Wass), several newspapers reported, sending its shares up more than 5%. The acquisition would have a value of between EUR 200 million and EUR 300 million ($217 million-$326 million), Corriere della Sera and financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported. The move by Fincantieri would be part of the group's broader strategy to grow through acquisitions and focus more on the defence sector, which in its last results accounted for less that 25% of its revenues. It would also strengthen its position in the underwater sector, which the group recently identified as a key area for growth. The state-controlled shipbuilder is considering a capital increase of some EUR 400 million to finance the operation, Il Messaggero said, adding that the group is being advised by JPMorgan, Intesa Sanpaolo and Bnp Paribas on the deal. Spokespersons for Fincantieri and Leonardo both declined to comment on the reports. Milano Finanza first reported on Saturday that Fincantieri was considering a large acquisition and that it was examining either a recapitalisation or a convertible bond to do so. Leonardo, also controlled by the Italian state, has been trying to find a buyer for Wass, which designs and builds underwater defence systems such as torpedoes and sonars, for years, but put the decision on hold after the war in Ukraine. At the time the group said Wass, along with its cannon maker OTO Melara, could grow more effectively outside the group. Fincantieri had made a non-binding offer for the two units in the past.
