Pirelli, Camfin-Chinese list names Sinochem number one as chairman

The list for the renewal of Pirelli's board of directors submitted by Camfin and Chinese shareholders indicates Sinochem's number one Jiao Jian as chairman.

The list submitted by Marco Polo International Italy (which is headed by the Chinese Sinochem), also on behalf of Camfin--which together hold 51.1 percent of Pirelli's capital--includes 12 names, a note said.

The candidates named by Camfin are Marco Tronchetti Provera (who will be executive vice chairman), Andrea Casaluci (who will be CEO), lawyer Michele Carpinelli, and Domenico De Sole, a former independent director of the group.

A group of asset management companies and institutional investors who are shareholders in Pirelli, collectively holding 1.33 percent of the capital, submitted a list of three candidates.
