Italeaf: The Board of Directors reviewed the state of negotiations with financial creditors and postponed the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2018 and the half-yearly financial report as at 30 June 2019
The Board of Directors of Italeaf S.p.A. ("Italeaf" or the "Company"), a holding company active in the cleantech and smart innovation sectors, listed on Nasdaq First North, met today, following the approval of the update of the 2019-2022 Reorganization Plan and the Financial Manoeuvre that is part of it (the "Plan"), as communicated to the market on October 30, 2019, and examined the progress of negotiations underway with financial creditors, aimed at signing a restructuring agreement pursuant to Article 182 bis r.d. 267/42.
Massimiliano Bonamini (a person with proven experience in the sector), a professional appointed by Italeaf pursuant to art. 182 bis r.d. 267/42, remains in charge of certifying the feasibility of the Plan, while Italeaf's legal advisor is the Orrick firm.
