FCA and Ferrari Announce Timing and Additional Details of Ferrari Separation
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ("FCA") (NYSE: FCAU / MTA: FCA) Ferrari N.V. (NYSE: RACE) and FE New N.V.1 ("Ferrari") today announced the timing and additional details regarding the separation of the Ferrari business from the FCA group (the "Separation").
Upon completion of the Separation, FCA's current equity interest in Ferrari N.V. ("Predecessor Ferrari"), corresponding to approximately 80% of its share capital, will be distributed to holders of FCA shares and mandatory convertible securities ("MCS").
The Separation will be effected through a series of transactions that are expected to take effect between January 1, 2016 and January 3, 2016 as previously announced by FCA and Predecessor Ferrari.
As part of the Separation, FCA shareholders will receive one common share of Ferrari for every ten common shares of FCA and one special voting share of Ferrari for every ten special voting shares of FCA held. The record date of the Separation with respect to shares held in the U.S. and Italian centralized clearing systems is January 5, 2016. In addition, holders of MCSs will receive 0.77369 common shares of Ferrari for each MCS unit held of record on January 5, 2016.
Ferrari shares will be allocated to the book entry accounts of holders of FCA shares and MCSs on January 7, 2016, except that Ferrari shares issued in respect of FCA shares held through participants in the Monte Titoli system will be allocated on January 6, 2016 to account for the different standard settlement periods on the U.S. and Italian markets.
No fractional Ferrari shares will be delivered in connection with the Separation. Any fractional entitlements will be aggregated and sold in the open market by intermediaries on behalf of holders or by the transfer agent for Ferrari shares, with the net cash proceeds distributed pro rata to FCA shareholders or MCS holders who would otherwise have an entitlement to a fractional share of Ferrari.
In addition, in connection with the Separation, holders of FCA shares will receive a cash payment of Euro 0.01 for each share held as of January 5, 2016, the record date of the distribution with respect to shares held in the U.S. and Italian centralized clearing systems2. Such cash payment, less any required applicable withholding tax, will be made on January 13, 2016.
FCA common shares will commence trading "ex" Ferrari on January 4, 2016 on both the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Mercato Telematico Azionario managed by Borsa Italiana ("MTA"). Therefore, the last date on which FCA common shares purchased will

This payment corresponds to the nominal value of shares issued in an interim step of the Separation.
