Reserved Capital Increase for INVEST
Board proposes EUR 17,499,998.73 in cash via 49,115,910 new shares at EUR 0.3563 each (~US$2.06 per ADS), excluding pre-emptive rights, converting the EUR 12.5M and EUR 5M shareholder-loan contributions into share capital.

Ownership Shift to 76.9%
If approved, INVEST's stake rises from 56.2% to 76.9%, the Natuzzi family's other holdings fall to 2.7%, and outside shareholders are diluted without participating.

Analysis · NTZ · Manufacturing
Keeping its NYSE listing is the immediate prize, and Natuzzi is asking shareholders to approve a EUR 17.5 million capital increase reserved for controlling holder INVEST before the December 17 review hearing. The mechanics: already-earmarked shareholder loans convert into 49.1 million new shares at EUR 0.3563 each. Beyond that, the board wants authority for up to EUR 15 million in minority rights and up to EUR 65 million in a broader rights issue (up to 1.3 billion shares) by 2029. Approval of the reserved increase would lift INVEST from 56.2% to 76.9%, diluting outside holders who do not participate. This is a survival-and-listing story: the capital raise is the condition for staying listed and funding the CNC restructuring, and the scale of the authorized share issuance is large relative to the current share base.
