A €14 billion ($16.5B) buyout offer by Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio could resolve a long-standing family inheritance dispute over EssilorLuxottica’s founding shares. The proposal targets 12.5% stakes held by siblings Luca and Paola Del Vecchio in Delfin Sarl, the family holding company. The offer is reportedly below market value, per insiders, reflecting the private nature of the negotiations and potential urgency to settle. Leonardo Maria, son of late founder Leonardo Del Vecchio, initiated the bid via a formal letter, signaling willingness to consolidate control. The deal, if finalized, would streamline governance of the eyewear empire, ending a conflict that has lingered since the founder’s 2022 death.
