Ferretti S.p.A. ( (IT:YACHT) ) has shared an update.

Ferretti S.p.A. announced the resignation of non-executive director and honorary chairman Piero Ferrari and independent non-executive director Stefano Domenicali, effective May 14, 2026 in Hong Kong. Both departures were accompanied by sharply worded letters criticizing recent governance practices and the handling of a tender offer, which they suggested undermined integrity, transparency, and open shareholder debate.

The exits immediately alter the composition of several key board committees, leaving the remuneration committee without a chair and triggering non-compliance with multiple Hong Kong listing rules on board and committee structure. Ferretti now faces regulatory pressure to restore compliance and rebuild its governance framework, a process that may be closely watched by investors concerned about board independence and corporate oversight.
