On June 27, 2023, at 9:00 AM (3:00 PM Beijing time) in Milan, Italy, Ferretti Group was officially listed on Euronext Milan. Euronext Milan and Weichai Group headquarters in Weifang, China held a ceremony by video link. Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Group and Chairman of Ferretti Group, Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, Daniela Santanchè, Minister of Tourism of Italy, and Claudia Parzani, Chairwoman of Euronext Milan, delivered speeches respectively.
Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Group and Chairman of Ferretti Group, delivered a speech.
Speech from Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group:
We are most grateful to Chairman Tan Xuguang, because Ferretti would not be here today without Weichai. In 2012, all investors turned their noses up at Ferretti, whose business model was very different then. Mr. Tan Xuguang, from Shandong, China, saw an opportunity that the Italian investors did not see and immediately seized it. We are able to achieve this achievement today because of Chairman Tan Xuguang's visionary strategy.
Speech from Daniela Santanchè, Minister of Tourism of Italy:
Today is an important day for Italy and a proud day for the Italians. Today is also an important event for Ferretti Group, and I want to thank Chairman Tan for this. Ferretti Group is an ambassador of Italy around the world, with its classic and historic brands that tell the story of Italian history, which is why I am here, because I want to reflect the ability and intelligence of the Italian people.
Speech from Claudia Parzani, Chairwoman of Euronext Milan
I am very excited to see Ferretti return to its hometown a year after listing in Hong Kong. The return to Italy makes Ferretti's Made in Italy identity and the brand's historical heritage even more evident. Ferretti has many brands that are symbols of luxury, high-end lifestyle, Made in Italy and other things that make Italians proud.
