The EGM approved a demerger pursuant to which FCA will transfer all of the shares held by it in Ferrari N.V. to FE Interim B.V., a newly-formed Dutch company, and FE Interim B.V. will issue shares to FCA’s shareholders (“Demerger“). The Demerger is part of a series of transactions that will be carried out to separate FCA’s ownership interest in Ferrari N.V. and distribute that ownership interest to holders of FCA shares and mandatory convertible securities. Those transactions are expected to be carried out in early January 2016
Ferrari stock is down over 10% since we shared Barron’s warning that the stock was overvalued on November 4. Buyers should be aware that the huge increase in float post-spin could create additional downward pressure.
