ASSET ITALIA 1 (TIP GROUP) FINALIZED AN AGREEMENT WITH WISE SGR AND

ILP III TO BUY ADDITIONAL STAKES IN ALPITOUR

Asset Italia 1 S.r.l. a company sponsored by Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. ("TIP") with many Italian family offices, has finalized an agreement with the shareholders of Wish S.p.A. - jointly owned by the private equity funds managed by Wise SGR S.p.A. and ILP III Sicar, the last supported by J. Hirsch & Co - to buy their direct and indirect stakes in Alpitour S.p.A..

The agreement provides for the purchase - on the basis of a valuation of Alpitour Group of Euro 470 million - of the total share capital of Wish S.p.A. and of the total quota owned by Azurline Sarl (owners in total of 38,8% of Alpitour S.p.A.) by a newly incorporated company, Alpiholding S.r.l., whose share capital will be owned for 49,9% by Asset Italia 1 S.r.l. (that already owns approximately 33% of Alpitour S.p.A.), for 0,2% by Gabriele Burgio (Chairman and CEO of Alpitour Group, relevant shareholder of Alpitour S.p.A.) and for the remaining 49,9% by other investors.

Alpiholding takes also the commitment to buy or let others to buy, at the same conditions, further quotas of Alpitour in case some of the other shareholders would be interested to sell them in the same context. The Turin entrepreneur Levi, historical shareholder of Alpitour, will remain in the capital with a long term view, the same for Fabio Landini, former shareholder of Presstour; Wise SGR will acquire a direct stake in Alpitour of approximately 3,5%.

The transaction perfectly fit with the prospects of acceleration of the growth and of capital strengthening of Alpitour Group and it's also aimed to further strengthen the shareholder structure in long term, with the view of a listing in the next two or three years.

"This transaction marks the beginning of a new ambitious chapter of the story of Alpitour" says Gabriele Burgio, Chairman and CEO of Alpitour Group.
