The Global Offering offered up to 230 million ordinary shares, representing 42.5% of the Company's share capital (46.6% of the Company's share capital if the Greenshoe Option is exercised in full). The Global Offering included a public offering in Italy to retail investors and to the employees of the ENAV Group for a minimum of 23 million shares, representing 10% of the shares offered in the Global Offering, as well as a concurrent institutional offering.

 

Prior to the start of the Global Offering, the valuation range of the shares had been set from a minimum of € 2.90 up to a maximum of € 3.50 per share.

At the end of the offer period, the Offer Price, equal to the Institutional Price, has been set as € 3.30 per share, corresponding to a maximum aggregate value of € 759 million, gross of commissions payable in connection with the Global Offering and excluding the Greenshoe Option. In case the Greenshoe Option is exercised in full by the Institutional Underwriting Syndicate, the maximum aggregate value will be € 833.58 million.

 

The capitalization of the Company will be approximately € 1,788 million, calculated on the basis of the Price equal to Euro 3.30 per Share. In the context of the Global Offering, applications were received for an aggregate of 1,814 million Shares at the Offer Price.

In the context of the public offering, applications were received from 16,413 retail investors, of which 659 ENAV Group employees.

 

The aggregate demand from retail investors and employees was for approximately 55 million Shares, approximately 2.4 times the minimum number of Shares reserved for them (10% of the Global Offering).

 

Aggregate demand from institutional investors was for 1,759 million Shares, approximately 8.5 times the maximum number of shares reserved for the Institutional Offering (90% of the Global Offering), and approximately 7.7 times taking into account the Shares object of the Greenshoe Option.

 

Finally, aggregate demand, for 1,814 million Shares, was approximately 8 times the number of Shares offered in the Global Offering and approximately 7 times taking into account the Shares object of the Greenshoe Option.

 

Considering demand as described above, the Ministry decided to allocate the 230 million Shares offered in the Global Offering as follows: 207 million Shares to institutional investors (90% of the Global Offering) and 23 million Shares to retail investors and employees of the ENAV Group (10% of the Global Offering). It has also been decided to allocate additional 22.6 million Shares to Institutional Investors, in connection to the Greenshoe Option.

 

Considering these additional Shares, the Global Offering is allocated for 91.9% to institutional investors and for 9.1% to the public offering.

The first day of trading of the Company's ordinary shares is expected to be July 26, 2016, subject to the relevant authorization by the Italian Stock Exchange. Payment for the Shares and settlement is scheduled for the same day.
