The shareholders’ meeting of Finmeccanica Spa, which convened on April 28 in Rome, Italy, has resolved the change of the company’s name. The shareholders’ meeting resolved to approve in extraordinary session, with favorable votes equal to around 99.74 percent of the capital represented at the meeting, the proposed amendment of the art.1 of the by-laws providing to adopt, until December 31, 2016, the company’s name Leonardo-Finmeccanica-Società per azioni (Leonardo S.p.a. or Finmeccanica S.p.a.) and to adopt the company name Leonardo – Società per azioni (Leonardo S.p.a.), effective from January 1, 2017.
The decision to put the new name Leonardo before the current name Finmeccanica until December 31, 2016, is aimed at granting the company a suitable time frame to ensure the required continuity, mainly in relationships with foreign countries.
Please note that the new name will be effective after the inclusion of the new by-laws in the register of companies in Rome, which will be promptly disclosed to the market.
