To finalize the operation, the Mariotti Group was supported by the Intesa Sanpaolo Group with a dedicated team of specialists, taking on the following roles:
- Intesa Sanpaolo as the issuing and fronting bank and custodian bank;
- Mediocredito Italiano as the financing bank;
- Banca IMI as the bookrunner bank and global coordinator, arranger bank and agent bank.
“The operation represents an important moment of relaunch for T. Mariotti – one that is closely linked to the city of Genoa where the company, for over 90 years, has been a point of reference for the sector – with the possibility of involving up to 1,000 workers, not to mention the benefits for small and medium-sized companies involved as suppliers,” the yard said, in a statement.
