Del Vecchio diversifies its portfolio

Two significant innovations have defined the world of Luxottica in mid December: Delfin, Del Vecchio’s holding, has acquired 13% of Luxair from the Government of Luxembourg that in turn had previously taken over the quota from Lufthansa on 6 November. A representative of Delfin, Mr Giovanni Giallombardo, explains that the investment, which is “interesting from a strategic point of view”, was undertaken “to diversify the portfolio”. Luxottica has also communicated the new composition of the share capital (entirely undersigned and paid up), which now amounts to 29,016,379.98 euro, following the subscription of shares by employees in accordance with the share capital increases approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting on 20 September 2001 and by the Shareholders Meeting on 14 June 2006.
