In een persbericht laat Air France-KLM weten geen extra geld in Alitalia te stoppen. Het belang van 25% zal dus verwateren tot ongeveer 11 %.
Als reden geeft AF-KLM dat het gister gepresenteerde plan een stap in de goede richting is, maar niet voldoende. Er wordt wel gezegd dat ze een lange en loyale partnership voorstaan.
Het hele persbericht:
Air France-KLM confirms its commitment to remain a loyal and serious partner of Alitalia, in continuation of the broad industrial partnership currently in place. The Group will further leverage on the excellent achievements reached by Alitalia in terms of operating performance, quality of service and cost control. This partnership, signed in 2009 for a period of eight years, provides strong benefits for both parties.
Air France-KLM will not subscribe to the capital increase.
Even if the industrial component of the new plan presented yesterday by Alitalia is a step in the right direction and is receiving Air France-KLM’s full support, the necessary financial restructuring measures are still not yet met.
As a confirmation of its support to Alitalia, Air France-KLM, after the capital increase is completed, intends to convert its convertible bonds, which will improve the equity of Alitalia and keep a strong relationship between the airlines through Air France-KLM’s stake in Alitalia.
