Ferretti S.p.A. ( (IT:YACHT) ) just unveiled an announcement.

KKCG Maritime has launched a voluntary conditional partial tender offer to acquire up to 52,132,861 shares of Ferretti, equal to 15.4% of its share capital, at €3.50 per share, representing a significant premium to pre-offer trading levels. The offer, open from 16 March to 13 April 2026, is framed by KKCG Maritime as an opportunity to enhance Ferretti’s corporate governance and deliver value to shareholders.

In a detailed rebuttal to a negative recommendation from independent adviser Altus Capital and Ferretti’s independent board committee, KKCG Maritime argues that the analysis underpinning the rejection overlooks the offer’s premium and misinterprets recent trading dynamics. It highlights that substantial share purchases by Ferretti’s largest shareholder, FIH, in a low-liquidity market and the mere presence of the offer have supported the stock price, warning that the price could fall back toward pre-offer levels once this exceptional buying and the offer period end.
