New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 90% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (90% increase in shares outstanding).

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.
