BREAKING NEWS – 17.12.2024

In the press release dated December 16, 2024, Simone S.p.A., a publishing company listed on Euronext Growth Milan, announced that the tax credit provided under the Special Economic Zone (ZES), applied for by the company on July 11, 2024, has been fully approved. Consequently, the investment for the new digital printing plant, with a total value of approximately €2.50 million (of which about €2.34 million is eligible), will benefit from a ZES incentive of €1.17 million. It is worth noting that the ZES tax credit is cumulative with the Transizione 4.0 tax credit, which promotes technological development for companies. This additional incentive amounts to 20.0% of the investment, corresponding to €0.45 million. Furthermore, in the press release on December 17, 2024, the company announced that Banca Valsabbina S.C.p.A. has fully subscribed to the bond issuance for a maximum amount of €1.50 million. The “Simone S.p.A. TV Eu6M + 2.35% 2024–2030” bond is non-convertible, unsubordinated, and unlisted. It will be used to finance strategic business development operations in line with market opportunities and the growth plans outlined during the IPO. Banca Valsabbina S.C.p.A. acted as the sole investor and manager of the issuance, as part of the “Smart Minibond” program, which aims to support investments and the growth of Italian SMEs. The issuance consists of ten bonds valued at €150,000 each, subject to dematerialization and centralized management by Monte Titoli S.p.A.. Repayment will occur through a constant capital amortization plan, with semi-annual payments starting in December 2025, following a 12-month pre-amortization period. The approval of the ZES tax credit and the issuance of the Smart Minibond strengthens our positive view on the stock. For this reason, we confirm our recommendation: Target Price: €3.00, Rating: BUY, and Risk: Medium.
