Addressing shareholders in EXOR, the Agnelli family’s holding company, John Elkann, who is also EXOR chairman and CEO, said preparatory work for the merger proceeded “on time and as envisaged.”

Elkann said there was also “good progress” on finding a new boss for CNH Industrial (MI:CNHI), after leadership issues contributed to the group’s “disappointing underperformance.” and led to Chairman Suzanne Heywood taking on the CEO role on an interim basis.
