History

Founding and growth (1927–2007)

Giovanni Agnelli, Exor founder

The company was founded in Turin on 27 July 1927 under the name of Istituto Finanziario Industriale (IFI) by the then senator Giovanni Agnelli, with the aim of reuniting under a single company all the shareholdings he had acquired, mainly in industrial sectors, including his stake as the largest shareholder in FIAT. When he passed away in 1945, he left his shareholding to his descendants, giving the largest share (35%) to his oldest nephew, Gianni Agnelli.

In 1957, IFI acquired control of Istituto Commerciale Laniero Italiano (ICLI), which conducted activities in the financial field, particularly in the textile and wool sector. In 1963, it extended its operations to the banking system and changed its name to Istituto Bancario Italiano Laniero. Three years later, having spun off the banking business to Banca Subalpina, the company became IFIL, playing a parallel role to that of IFI and conducting similar investment management activities, under the management of the Agnelli family. [3]

Over the following decades, while remaining the largest shareholder in FIAT, IFI gained holdings in numerous firms, including Buzzi Unicem, Rockefeller Center, Cinzano, Club Med, and 3M.

IFI listed preference shares (with no voting rights) on the Borsa Italiana in 1968. [4] In 1984, Gianni Agnelli created Giovanni Agnelli S.r.l., a holding company to consolidate the family ownership in IFI and prevent outsiders from acquiring voting shares. In 1987, with more family members joining the holding company (then renamed Giovanni Agnelli e C. S.a.p.az.), its control amounted to over 70% of IFI ordinary shares. [5] By 2000, it had acquired 100% of the ordinary shares, with only non-voting shares left on the market. [6]

In 2003, the company was restructured, under the leadership of Umberto Agnelli, its chairman. All shares in operational subsidiaries, including FIAT, were transferred to IFIL, which was then renamed IFIL Investments. [7] IFI remained the parent holding company, through its ownership of 62.03% of IFIL ordinary shares [8] and a stake in the Exor Group (a Luxembourg investment company that had been acquired in 1991). [9]

In April 2007 John Elkann, who had been nominated as his successor and largest shareholder by Gianni Agnelli, assumed the chairmanship of IFI.

Restructuring as Exor and early investments (2008–2015)

On 1 March 2009, with the aim of simplifying the capital structure, IFIL Investments merged with and into IFI to create Exor S.p.A., the new listed holding company of the Agnelli group. John Elkann was named Chairman and Carlo Sant’Albano was appointed CEO. All classes of shares (savings shares, preference shares and ordinary shares) were listed on Borsa Italiana. [10] As a result of the merger, Giovanni Agnelli e C. S.a.p.az. held 59.2% of the ordinary shares of Exor, exercising control in all ordinary matters. At the time of the merger, Exor's net asset value (NAV) per share was €12.95.

On 3 January 2011, Fiat executed a spin-off of its industrial vehicles division: as a result, Exor became the largest shareholder in the new Fiat Industrial, listed on Borsa Italiana [11] . On 11 February 2011, John Elkann assumed the post of CEO, while retaining his role as chairman of the board. [12]

Major transactions in 2015 included purchasing stock in The Economist Group, [13] as well as PartnerRe, [14] and selling its stake Cushman & Wakefield. [15] On 12 August 2015, it was announced Exor would purchase three-fifths of The Economist Group shares then owned by Pearson PLC, [16] which had held a non-controlling 50% stake since 1928. [17] [16] Exor also had held some shares in the Economist Group prior to the deal. [16] With the deal considered to be the "most important change to The Economist 's shareholding structure in almost 90 years", [16] the transaction was completed in August 2015, with about 50% of the Economist Group sold for about $715 million back to the group itself, as well as Exor S.p.A. In doing so, Exor paid 15 times the Economist Group's operating profit. [13] On 2 September 2015, Exor sold Cushman & Wakefield to Chicago-based DTZ for $1.28 billion, generating a capital gain of $722 million. [15]

PartnerRe purchase and sale (2016–2022)

In 2016, Elkann oversaw the company's move of its headquarters from Italy to the Netherlands. [4] That same year, Exor bought PartnerRe with a bid of $140 per share, for a total of $6.9 billion. [14] Originally, it had offered $130 per share and in response Axis Re offered $120.31 per share in paper plus $11.50 in a pre-closing dividend. [18] In March 2020, Exor announced an agreement to sell PartnerRe to French mutual insurer Covéa for $9 billion, plus a $50 million cash dividend upon closing. [19] [20] The sale was not finalised, as Covéa withdrew the offer on 12 May 2020. [21] In August 2020, Exor stated that Covéa would invest €1.5 billion, partly in entities managed by PartnerRe. [22] In July 2022, Exor completed the sale of PartnerRe to Covéa for $9.3 billion (about 8.6 billion euros). [23]

Creation of Stellantis and further investments (2019–2024)

In December 2019, FCA and the PSA Group announced a merger, which was to be completed in twelve to fourteen months. [24] [25] [26] In July 2020, Elkann and the FCA CEO Mike Manley announced that the combined company would be called Stellantis upon completion of the trans-Atlantic merger. [27] [28] The merger was completed on 16 January 2021, with its common shares subsequently trading under the ticker symbol STLA on the Borsa Italiana, Euronext Paris, and the New York Stock Exchange. At the completion date of merger, the combined company became the world's fifth-largest car maker by unit sales. [29] On 14 April 2021, Exor and Peugeot, both significant shareholders in Stellantis, signed a five-year agreement. [30]

Major investments taking place in 2020 included Shang Xia, [31] GEDI Gruppo Editoriale, [32] and Via Transportation. [33] With the stake later increased to 18.3%, [34] Exor acquired 8.87% of Via Transportation, a ride-share company, for $200 million in March 2020. [35] In April 2020, Exor purchased 43.7% of the Italian media group GEDI Gruppo Editoriale for €102.4 million from the CIR Group, [36] [37] the holding company of Carlo De Benedetti's family. [32] In December 2020, Exor invested around €80 million in the Chinese group Shang Xia, then partnering Shang Xia with Hermès International. [31] Exor became a minority shareholder of the French fashion house Christian Louboutin in March 2021, purchasing 24% of the capital for 541 million euros. [38] On 16 June 2021, Exor and World-Wide Investments Company Limited of Hong Kong created the company Nuo spa, with 50% owned by Exor and 50% owned by WWICL. [39] In July 2022, by way of a reserved capital increase, Exor acquired 10% of Institut Mérieux for a value of €833 million. [40]

In February 2022, Exor paid $845 million to Italian tax authorities to settle a dispute related to the move of its legal headquarters to the Netherlands in 2016. [41] [42] To align with its legal structure as a Dutch company, Exor announced in July 2022 that it would move its shares to Amsterdam from Milan to list on Euronext Amsterdam. [43] In April 2022, Exor invested around US$1.1 billion in the healthcare industry, including a 45% stake in Lifenet Healthcare. [44] [45] After a financial scandal hit Juventus in January 2023, the then Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli resigned from the boards of Stellantis and Exor. [46] [47] In April 2023, Elkann remained CEO of Exor, which had around 5 billion euros for acquisitions after selling PartnerRE. It maintained controlling stakes in companies such as Ferrari, CNH Industrial, and Juventus. [48]

On 19 June 2023, Exor announced its partnership with Impala in the joint holding company TagHolding, single shareholder of TagEnergy, a company operating in the renewables and energy storage sectors. [49] On 14 August 2023, Exor acquired 15% of Philips, a multinational company in the health and technology sector, in an operation worth €2.6 billion. [50] On 4 March 2024, Exor invested US$500 million in Clarivate, raising its shares from 6,3% to 10,1%, with a possible further increase up to 17,5%. Former Juventus board of directors member Suzanne Heywood was nominated for election to Clarivate's board of directors at the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on 7 May 2024. [51] [52]

In March 2024, Exor increased its stake in UK-based Clarivate, a global provider of data, analytics, technology and expert services, from 1% to 10%. Negotiations are underway to further increase the stake to 17.5%. As part of the agreement, Exor COO Suzanne Heywood would be a candidate for a seat on Clarivate's board. Clarivate's market capitalisation is $4.8bn, and after the deal Exor became the second largest investor in the company. [53]

Also in 2024, Exor, through NUO (a partnership with Hong Kong family office World-Wide Investment Company Limited), acquired a 30 per cent stake in Osit Impresa SpA, which owns Italian women's fashion brand Subdued. Subdued's net consolidated sales for 2023 were approximately €120 million ($130 million) through 85 directly operated shops in Italy, Spain, the UK, France, Germany and other countries. [54]
