The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Piercarlo Padoan, and the Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Orcel, offer their sincere condolences following the loss of Leonardo Del Vecchio, also on behalf of the Board of Directors and all staff of the UniCredit Group:
"We are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Leonardo Del Vecchio. We have lost a great man: Leonardo's extraordinary leadership and vision was evident from the very start of his career. A truly international entrepreneur, he successfully dedicated his entire career to development and economic growth, both in Italy and across the world. He believed that courage, creativity and determination were the key to achieving success, not only for his company but also for the global economic system it operates in. His contribution to making Italy a great industrial nation will be remembered and felt for decades to come and his loss keenly felt. UniCredit is grateful for his support throughout various stages of our expansion and growth and we are proud to call him part of our Group. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."
