Natuzzi (NYSE: NTZ) called a November 23, 2026 shareholder meeting to approve a EUR 17.5 million capital increase reserved for INVEST 2003.
The proposal would issue 49,115,910 ordinary shares at EUR 0.3563 each, using shareholder loans already reclassified as capital contributions, with no further cash contribution. INVEST’s ownership would rise from 56.2% to 76.9%, diluting other holders. Natuzzi expects issuance before its December 17, 2026 NYSE delisting-review hearing.
Shareholders will also consider board authority for two cash rights issues through December 31, 2029: up to EUR 15 million to let minorities restore their prior stakes, subject to full subscription and INVEST’s rights waiver, and up to EUR 65 million to support capital, listing compliance and restructuring. Both depend on completing the reserved increase; the board could pursue either or both. Eliminating share nominal value is also proposed.
Natuzzi (NTZ) reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of €60.0 million as lower delivered sales weighed on margins and operating results. Sales compared with €78.3 million a year earlier.

A September preliminary agreement to sell an Italian industrial asset remains subject to completion.

Natuzzi (NTZ) has requested NYSE Board review of a staff determination to commence delisting proceedings for its American Depositary Shares, following noncompliance with the NYSE’s minimum average global market capitalization requirement of US$15 million over 30 consecutive trading days.
The review request was filed on September 10, 2026, and will be scheduled for the first available review day at least 25 business days later. Separately, on September 9, 2026, controlling shareholder INVEST 2003 S.r.l. agreed to reclassify an additional €5,000,000 of shareholder loans as an advance payment on a future capital increase, which is expected to be recorded as an equity reserve on Natuzzi’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2026.
Natuzzi (NYSE:NTZ) received notice on August 26, 2026 that the New York Stock Exchange has suspended trading in its American Depositary Shares and will begin delisting proceedings.

The process is involuntary and has no cure period. According to the company, operations, strategic priorities, its turnaround program and ADS holder rights are not expected to be affected, and ADSs are expected to trade over the counter if delisted, though continued liquidity is not assured.
