What Happened

Extraordinary General Meeting for Tender Offer resolutions (now at a later date)
The company also stated that the Extraordinary General Meeting, originally scheduled for early May to vote on resolutions related to a tender offer from TML CV Holdings Pte. Ltd. (TML Ltd), will be postponed. TML Ltd had announced its intention to launch a tender offer for all Iveco Group shares after the defence business separation. The company confirmed the process remains on track, with the Offer Document yet to be published but key terms available in the Offeror's Notice.
Why this matters
The dividend distributes cash from a recent business sale, and the postponed meeting relates to a potential takeover offer that could change the company's ownership structure.
