Exor is further consolidating its position as Royal Philips' largest shareholder, increasing its stake to 18.7%, a regulatory filing from the U.S. securities and exchange commission showed.
The investment arm of Italy's Agnelli family raised its stake for the second time since acquiring an initial 15% interest in August 2023, with the right to increase its share holding to up to 20%. In June, Exor increased its stake in the medical imaging systems and toothbrush maker to 17.5%.
The move reflects the diversification of Exor, which is lead by Stellantis and Ferrari chairman John Elkann, away from its traditional automotive holdings. The holding company sold a portion of its Ferrari stake earlier this year.
