Mare Group Challenges Eles Board Move in Xenon Takeover Bid

Mare Engineering Group SpA ( (IT:MARE) ) has provided an announcement.

Mare Group, a high-tech engineering firm listed on Euronext Growth Milan, focuses on innovation through enabling technologies across aerospace and defence, industrial applications, critical infrastructure and sustainability-related transitions. Leveraging an asset-light model, proprietary platforms and a broad international footprint, it has grown rapidly via acquisitions and research collaborations, strengthening its role in Italy and Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

The company has lodged a formal complaint with the Board of Statutory Auditors of Eles Semiconductor Equipment over the decision by Eles’ board to tender 657,000 treasury shares into Xenon Private Equity’s takeover bid, a move Mare Group argues could significantly alter ownership and voting dynamics. Mare Group questions whether proper governance, procedures and company interest were observed, reserves the right to pursue further action before competent authorities, and is urging Eles shareholders to participate in the early March meeting to back stronger, more independent board governance amid the ongoing takeover process.
