AI Summary

short article 1 min

Sinochem, Pirelli's largest shareholder with a 34.1% stake, has proposed a "structured solution" to resolve a governance dispute with Italian investor Camfin, which holds 25.3% and plans to increase it. The dispute arises as the Italian government considers limiting Sinochem's influence over Pirelli due to concerns that its Chinese ownership hinders the tyre maker's US expansion, particularly with tightening US restrictions on Chinese technology in the automotive sector. Camfin announced it would not renew its shareholder pact with Sinochem, prompting potential government intervention using "golden power" legislation to protect national interests. Sinochem claims its proposal addresses Pirelli's governance and US regulatory concerns, aligning with international corporate practices.
