Prysmian Group
28
The ownership by geographical area confirms the predominant presence of
US and British investors who, at the end of 2014, accounted for around 45%
of the capital held by institutional investors. They were followed by Italian
institutional investors with 16%, and by the French with 11%, both higher than
the previous year. The proportion of Asian investors was stable.
Approximately 71% of the share capital held by institutional investors is
represented by investment funds with Value, Growth or GARP strategies,
therefore focused on a medium to long-term investment horizon. The
proportion of investors adopting an index investment strategy, based on the
principal stock indexes, was stable compared with the prior year, as was the
share of private equity fund investors, represented by a single Italian fund
with a long-term investment horizon and that has been one of the c ompany’s
shareholders for several years.
As of 31 December 2014, the Prysmian’s free float was 100%of the outstanding
shares and major shareholdings. Those in excess of 2% accounted for
approximately 28% of total share capital, meaning there was no majority or
controlling interest.
Prysmian is one of Italy’s few global industrial companies
to have achieved Public Company status in recent years.
