Today, the Board of Directors of Iren SpA resolved to exercise the right to subscribe and pay up the above-mentioned capital increase, up to a maximum of Euro 5,882.00 plus a share premium of Euro 19,994,118.00 to be exercised also in several tranches, so as to bring Iren's shareholding in Egea Holding up to 55.26% of the share capital, for the purpose of financing the development of the RRNP project related to the district heating system in Alessandria, to be implemented through Telenergia Srl, a subsidiary of Egea Holding SpA.
The capital increase will allow Iren to exercise control over EGEA Holding with the appointment of 4 board members out of the total 7 and will allow Iren to anticipate by one year the consolidation of the company (scheduled in the business plan in 2026). The subscription and payment are subject to obtaining the Antitrust and Golden Power authorisations from the competent Authorities.
The financial effects of the transaction on Iren's FY2025 will mainly concern an increase in net financial position of approximately EUR 170 million (including development investments) and an incremental EBITDA between EUR 55 and 60 million.
