Rome, 21 September 2020 – The article “State-Benetton Stop at the Toll Booth” by Sergio Rizzo - published today by Affari & Finanza, a La Repubblica supplement – describes a situation that could not be further from the truth, by casting doubt on Atlantia’s willingness to sell its equity interest in Autostrade per l’Italia (“ASPI”). Atlantia can only confirm the content of its press release of 4 August 2020, regarding its intention to exit from ASPI via either the outright sale of its 88% interest in the company or the spin-off of the company through a new company to be listed on the stock exchange.
