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. 공시 • Apr 25

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. 공시 • Mar 30
