- Respighi BidCo secured control of 74.58 percent of Recordati's share capital.
- The 66.67 percent minimum threshold was confirmed, making the offer effective.
- The reopening of the tender offer keeps delisting and minority shareholder decisions in focus.
Respighi BidCo, backed by CVC Capital Partners and Groupe Bruxelles Lambert, has secured control of Recordati after the takeover offer cleared its minimum acceptance threshold. The offer became effective after the bidder's combined holding reached 74.58 percent of the Italian pharmaceutical company.
The result was announced by Recordati on October 26, 2026. Respighi BidCo's stake exceeded the 66.67 percent condition required for the voluntary full tender offer to take effect.
Control secured, delisting remains ahead
The threshold result gives the bidder control of Recordati while leaving the final ownership outcome open. The offer's reopening provides shareholders with another opportunity to tender their shares, and the central investor question is whether the bidder can lift its holding far enough to trigger a more direct delisting route.
If the ownership level remains below the threshold required for a compulsory purchase, the transaction structure keeps a merger-based delisting route in focus. That would require the relevant corporate approvals and would extend the process beyond the initial offer settlement.
Recordati stock traded at 52.98 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:11 CET on Monday, November 2, 2026.
