A true public company

Prysmian is one of Italy’s few global industrial manufacturers to have achieved true public company status in recent years. Listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in 2007, the company’s free float is equal to 100% of capital, of which around 78% is held by institutional investors. At the end of 2020, significant shareholdings (in excess of 3%) accounted for approximately 26% of total share capital, meaning there were no majority or controlling interests. We therefore strive to comply with the highest international standards of governance. For example, 67% of Board members are independent and 42% are women.
