Francisco Pinto Balsemão’s heirs divided, in equal parts, the stake in the holding company that holds the majority of Impresa’s capital, signing a shareholders’ agreement that provides for coordination in “strategic matters”.
In a statement, released this Friday, October 21st, to the Securities Market Commission (CMVM), it is read that “the qualified participation of Impreger […] at Impresa – Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, SA which was, until the date of his death, on October 21, 2025, attributable to Dr. Francisco José Pereira Pinto de Balsemão, became attributable to each of his children: Mónica da Costa Lobo Pinto de Balsemão, Henrique da Costa Lobo Pinto de Balsemão, Francisco Maria Supico Pinto Balsemão, Joana Presas Pinto de Balsemão and Francisco Pedro Presas Pinto de Balsemão”.
The shareholders’ agreement, also disclosed, states that “Balseger, SGPS, SA is the dominant company of Impreger, SGPS, SA, which, in turn, holds, directly and by imputation, 50.311% of Impresa’s voting rights”, and Balseger’s share capital “is divided into ordinary shares and category A shares, which are redeemable preferred shares”.
Thus, “under the terms of Balseger’s statutes, category A shares confer on the respective holder a set of rights that, in particular, ensure the prevalence of voting rights on strategic matters and allow redemption through shareholder deliberation, in order to guarantee the continuity of the coordinated exercise of influence on Balseger and, indirectly, on its subsidiaries”.
This Friday, the CMVM ordered the suspension of Impresa’s shares, pending the release of relevant information to the market.
Jornal de Negócios reported, this Thursday, that “Italians should join the owner of SIC by the end of the year” and stated that the “negotiations between Impresa and MFE, controlled by the Berlusconi family, are close to a conclusion” and that the “parties are now negotiating details of the agreement”.
Today Sábado reported that MFE will enter the ownership of SIC with a minority position and that the Balsemão family will maintain control, for now.
According to the publication, this deal is seen as a first step for the Italians to control Impresa in the long term.
Also this Friday, the executive president (CEO) of Impresa reiterated that the doors have always been open to partners who bring value and that any relevant information will be communicated in a timely manner, in a letter to workers to which Lusa had access.
Official Impresa source states that the letter to workers is a moment independent of any fact or news published today, being solely a moment of communication between the CEO and employees.
Before the suspension of trading, Impresa shares were rising 1.48% to 0.28 euros, with a volume of 323,139 shares traded.
