THE HERA GROUP AND ASCOPIAVE ACQUIRE 92% OF ASCO TLC

The partnership between the two companies, which won the public tender called by Asco Holding, is a strategic milestone in the evolution of the business portfolio of the two groups in the IT sector, consistent with their respective industrial plans.

Ascopiave and the Hera Group, through its subsidiary Acantho, won the public tender called by Asco Holding for the sale of 92% of the shares of Asco TLC, held by Asco Holding itself and by the Chamber of Commerce of Treviso-Belluno.

Asco TLC, a provider of ICT services since 2001, mainly dealing with corporate clients and public administrations, owns a significant network located in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, boasting over 2,200 km of fibre optic backbone, 56 communications towers and 24 xDSL unbundled stations, and supplies its services to over 2,700 customers.

This partnership is a strategic landmark in the enhancement of Ascopiave’s and the Hera Group’s business portfolio in the IT sector, in line with the industrial plans of the two groups.
It also represents the first stage of a potentially broader operation which would lead, by means of the merger through acquisition of Asco TLC into Acantho, to the creation of a multi-regional player capable of achieving significant operational synergies compared to stand-alone companies, also benefiting customers.

The operation in detail
Ascopiave and Acantho, in partnership with stakes of 60% and 40% respectively, won the tender invited last April by Asco Holding and, subsequent to the due diligence conducted at the end of July, on 3rd November jointly submitted the binding offer, as required by the tender procedure.
The purchase price, which will be settled by cash, amounts to Euro 37.2 million, against a normalised net financial position of Euro 0.1 million at 30th June 2022.

The closing of the transaction is conditional upon the fulfilment of the conditions precedent set out in the tender documents, specifically the acquisition of the necessary authorisations from the competent bodies.

The Hera Group is one of the leading Italian multi-utility companies, operating in the environmental, energy and water sectors and employing over 9,000 people, who are committed every day to responding to the many needs of around 5 million citizens located mainly in Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Marche, Tuscany and Abruzzi. Listed since 2003, it is one of the top 40 Italian companies in terms of capitalisation (it is included in the Ftse Mib index) and since 2020 it has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Europe Index.
Acantho, a telecommunications operator, is the digital company of the Hera Group. Thanks to the development of a proprietary ultra-broadband fibre optic network extending for over 230,000 kilometres and its Data Centres in Imola and Siziano, it has been offering ICT services and tools in the Data & Voice Communication, Hybrid MultiCloud, Cyber & Physical Security and Smart City fields for over 20 years, contributing to the competitiveness of small and large enterprises and the development and innovation of the territory.

2023-03-02 Hera S.p.A.’s Public shareholders syndicate committee met today and approved the lists of candidates for the position of members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the next three years, who will be proposed for appointment at the Shareholders Meeting held on 27 April 2023. In accordance with regulations, the lists will be made public by 6 April 2023. The Committee, noting that the Executive Chairman of the Hera Group, Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, believes that he has fulfilled his mandate, which expires on the date of the upcoming Shareholders Meeting, wishes to thank him for his fundamental contribution to the growth of the company, which he has led for over twenty years. “Our deepest gratitude goes to Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano”, states the Public shareholders syndicate committee, “for accepting, since 2002, to lead the company, developing and consolidating it, and ultimately making it one of the most important multi-utility companies in the country, while maintaining the Group’s strong local roots. As is shown by the remarkable and significant results achieved over these twenty years, placing our trust in him for such a long time was the right choice. We consider the value created by this company, in terms of investments, innovation, employment, entrepreneurial and cultural development, to be particularly important for our local areas. Combining corporate growth and sustainable development, creating ever more value to be shared with stakeholders, and contributing to improving the quality of life in the localities where the Group operates, is the winning model achieved by Tommasi, and we will continue to follow it over time”. With reference to the Shareholders' Meeting of next April 27, the Syndicate committee indicated Cristian Fabbri, Hera’s current Central Market Director and CEO of the subsidiary Hera Comm, for the role of Executive Chairman, thus enhancing the internal growth of a high-level manager who has been with Hera since 2006. Orazio Iacono and Gabriele Giacobazzi, who already hold these roles in the company, were indicated for the roles of CEO and Vice Chairman of Hera. 20230302 press release shareholders syndicate committee.pdf 16:16:00 Nuova_Palazzina_110x150.1533218221.jpg See the press release Nuova_Palazzina_110x150.1533218221.jpg

2023-03-02 The Executive Chairman of the Hera Group, Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, after more than twenty years at the head of the company, believes that he has fulfilled his mandate, which expires on 27 April 2023, the date on which the Shareholders Meeting has been called. “I am proud to have contributed to the history of the Hera Group”, states Chairman Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano, “and, working with a top-class management team, to have combined corporate growth with sustainable development. We have created an innovative model that remains ahead of its time, aimed at creating ever more value for our stakeholders and making the areas served increasingly competitive. I therefore wish Cristian Fabbri the best of luck with the important position he will soon cover, after the Shareholders Meeting held on 27 April. It provides recognition for the excellent work he has been doing within the Hera Group since 2006, and I am certain that he will continue to contribute to the company’s development and will also be able to turn future challenges into opportunities”. Tomaso Tommasi di Vignano has been Chairman of the Group since November 2002, and oversaw its initial public offering in June 2003. His guidance has been fundamental in realising the far-sighted vision of the Hera Group’s founding public shareholders, and with his know-how and undisputable management skills, he has helped to guide the company along a path of development and success that has made it one of the most important multi-utility companies nationwide, consolidating its leadership in the sectors in which it operates. This path of uninterrupted growth was crowned in 2019, when Hera was included in the FTSE MIB among the 40 largest companies on the Italian stock exchange, and in 2020, when it was included in the prestigious international Dow Jones Sustainability Index. For more than twenty years, the Group has been committed to creating value for all stakeholders and, thanks to its solid corporate governance, it has confirmed itself over time as a reference point for the areas served and a highly reliable systemic operator. As evidence of its steady growth, it is worth recalling that since 2002 the Group’s workforce has more than doubled (from 4,200 to over 9,300 employees), as has the number of citizens served (from 2 million to over 4.2 million) and EBITDA has increased six-fold, from 192 million to almost 1.3 billion euro. In twenty years, the significant investments made, totalling approximately 8 billion euro, and the more than 50 mergers and acquisitions carried out, have enabled the company to achieve significant synergies and expand its scope of activity. This has produced a growing economic impact on the areas served and has created value for all stakeholders, from employees, customers and suppliers to the Group’s shareholders, who have received dividends totalling more than 2 billion euro over the years. 20230302 Statement Executive Chairman Hera Group.pdf 16:07:00 Nuova_Palazzina_110x150.1533218221.jpg See the press release Nuova_Palazzina_110x150.1533218221.jpg
