Aeffe is receiving a “bridge loan” from shareholders worth 2 million euro. The amount will provide the resources needed to cover cash requirements until the end of July. Within this period, shareholders expect to be able to submit the binding offers received to the Court of Bologna. Subsequently, they will provide new funds until the date on which the company is sold. The luxury group from Romagna, subject until 4 October 2026 to the negotiated crisis settlement procedure, is also reported to have sold a warehouse property in San Giovanni in Marignano.
A €2 million loan
According to the announcement by the luxury group that controls the brands Pollini, Moschino and Alberta Ferretti, the Court of Bologna has authorized Aeffe to receive an interest-free loan. Amount: 2 million euros. It will be guaranteed by the shareholders Colloportus and FQuattro (companies owned by Alberta and Massimo Ferretti). This loan, with an 18-month maturity, is secured by a pledge over a current account. The money entering Aeffe’s coffers will be used to cover current financial needs until the end of July 2026, pending receipt of binding offers for the sale of the group. Once the offers have been received, the company will communicate them to the Court and request a new shareholder loan, of a larger amount, to cover financial needs until the date of the company sale agreement.
The sale of a property
The 2-million-euro loan could also be achieved through the proceeds from the sale of the property owned by the group and used as a warehouse, which is reportedly located in San Giovanni in Marignano, near Aeffe’s headquarters (in the Imagoeconomica photo). According to the latest leaked news, there are two bidders for Aeffe: the fund Oxy Capital and a Chinese group active in fashion. The decision is expected in the coming days, when banks, advisors and ownership meet. The next discussion at MIMIT is scheduled for 30 July.
