Ferretti S.p.A. ( (IT:YACHT) ) has issued an update.
Ferretti S.p.A. has announced the immediate resignation of honorary chairman and non-executive director Piero Ferrari and non-executive independent director Stefano Domenicali from its board and related committees. Their departures remove two high-profile figures from Ferretti’s governance structure at a sensitive time for the company.
Ferrari cited frustration over recent events, alleging that parties close to a certain faction sought to block substantive discussion and neutral evaluation during a tender offer process, which he described as marked by arrogance. Domenicali said recent developments clashed with his expectations that Ferretti’s governance should reflect the highest standards of integrity and transparency, raising concerns among investors about internal tensions and the robustness of the group’s corporate governance framework.
Both resigning directors hold no Ferretti shares and are not receiving any severance or other benefits tied to their exit, limiting the direct financial implications but underscoring the principled nature of their decisions. The company publicly thanked Ferrari and Domenicali for their contributions, but the dual resignation and the governance criticisms they voiced may prompt closer scrutiny from shareholders and regulators of Ferretti’s board dynamics and oversight processes.
