The Board of Directors has called a shareholders' meeting for November 23, 2026, to approve a EUR 17.5 million reserved capital increase for controlling shareholder INVEST 2003 S.r.l., excluding pre-emptive rights. This transaction converts prior shareholder loan reclassifications into equity to support an appeal against NYSE delisting. The Board also seeks authority for two delegated rights issues: up to EUR 15 million for minority shareholders and up to EUR 65 million for all shareholders, both exercisable by December 31, 2029. These measures aim to strengthen the capital structure, regain compliance with NYSE market capitalization standards, and fund restructuring efforts under Italian out-of-court composition proceedings.

The company submitted this appeal on September 10, 2026, with a hearing scheduled for at least 25 business days later.

Natuzzi S.p.A. received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange on August 26, 2026, suspending trading and commencing delisting proceedings for its American Depositary Shares (ADSs). The action results from the company's failure to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least US$15 million over a consecutive 30-trading-day period. Natuzzi is evaluating options, including an appeal, while noting that operations and strategic priorities remain unaffected. If delisted, ADSs may trade in the over-the-counter market, and the company will assess whether to file Form 15 to deregister with the SEC.
