2022-2024 Business Plan

In December 2021 we presented the new Business Plan with horizon 2022-2024 which has as its primary goal the proactive management of assets in order to prepare them for the future and the new market challenges.

After two difficult years due to the implications that the Covid pandemic had on business, our strategy expects, in fact, to return to organic growth based on sustainability and innovation.

The Plan is articulated into 4 operational areas:

All the strategic and operational guidelines set forth in the Business Plan operational areas, as well as the investment plan, to which the commitment to implementation is maximised, are confirmed.

However, in light of the significant worsening of the macroeconomic scenario started from 2022, which showed a significant deviation from the assumptions used in the 2022-2024 Business Plan, in January 2023 IGD announced to the market that some of the targets to 2024 set forth in the Business Plan presented on 14 December 2021, with particular reference to FFO and dividends, were no longer achievable.

In 2024, in light of the negative result recorded for 2023 by the parent company IGD SIIQ SpA, which voids the mandatory distribution requirement, and the terms and conditions of the note “€300,000,000 Fixed Rate Step-up Notes due 17 May 2027”, which prohibits IGD from distributing dividends in excess of what necessary to comply with the SIIQ regulations, IGD’s Board of Directors proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting, to be held on 18 April 2024, not to pay dividends for 2023.
