Here is the business and aims of Pagliuca, the new co-owner of Atalanta
Atalanta also becomes (in part) foreign. The partnership between Stephen Pagliuca and Antonio Percassi is underway. Life, business and objectives of the new Atalanta co-chairman.
After numerous rumors in the past few days, the agreement has finally arrived. On Saturday the Bergamo club made official the agreement between Antonio Percassi and Stephan Pagliuca, the club's new co-chairman, with a note on its website.
HOW ATALANTA SHAREHOLDERS CHANGE
The agreement was completed with the sale by Percassi of 55% of the holding “La Dea srl” which holds 84% of Atalanta. So the club's shares will now be divided as follows: 47.3% to Pagliuca and members, 38.7% to the Percassi family, 14% to minority members. We cannot therefore speak of an absolute majority, in fact Antonio Percassi and his son Luca will still hold the positions of president and CEO respectively; the operation therefore will not lead to a departure from the scene of the Percassi family.
THE ROLE OF PERCASSI
Atalanta was acquired by Percassi in 2010 for just 7 million euros, and in a few years it reached the main Italian and European stages, thanks also to the invaluable work of CT Gian Piero Gasperini.
THE DETAILS OF THE AGREEMENT
The goal of the agreement is very ambitious: to take the brand of the Goddess beyond the Atlantic where football is spreading and becoming more and more popular. As Stephen Pagliuca himself stated , "The goal will be to encourage further diversification and revenue growth, allowing the club to become increasingly competitive on an Italian and international scale".
WHO IS PAGLIUCA
Class 55 ', born in New York, after studying economics at Duke and Harvard, Pagliuca joins Bain & Company, one of the largest consulting firms in the world together with McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. Later with some colleagues he founded the Bain Capital private equity company, supporting the company in investments in the technology, telecommunications and mass media sectors.
To date, Bain Capital manages approximately $ 155 billion in assets , operating primarily in the health, industrial, financial and technology sectors.
After an unfortunate candidacy with the Democratic Party for a seat in the Senate, Pagliuca returned to the limelight by becoming co-owner of one of the most prestigious teams in the NBA , the Boston Celtics.
