Benettons rule out any transaction involving break-up of Atlantia – source

MILAN – The Benettons, who control Atlantia with a 33% stake, are united in ruling out any transaction that would involve a break-up of the Italian infrastructure group, one source close to the family told Reuters on Thursday.

Global Infrastructure Partners and Brookfield Infrastructure pitched a possible takeover of Atlantia last week after talks with the family, the two funds said, adding they were also working with Spain ACS on the deal.
