“Semplificazioni” Decree converted into Law: new measures to support capital increases by Italian joint stock companies (società per azioni) or limited liability companies (società a responsabilità limitata). The Italian government and Parliament have introduced a set of measures aimed at strengthening Italian companies’ assets and, specifically, at facilitating the procedures for carrying out capital increases. Furthermore, some changes have been made to the legal framework in relation to pre-emption rights for joint stock companies (società per azioni).
