MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:<\/p>
\nKaleon S.p.A. (\u201cKaleon<\/b>\u201d or the \u201cCompany<\/b>\u201d) (Paris:ALKLN) (MIL:KLN) - a company linked to the Borromeo family and specialized in the management and enhancement of major artistic, natural and museum heritage assets for tourism purposes, listed on Euronext Growth Milan (Ticker: KLN) and Euronext Growth Paris (Ticker: ALKLN) - is proud to announce that it has been selected as one of the 100 companies listed on the Borsa Italiana that make up the Intermonte Valore Italia Index, which is dedicated to SMEs with a market capitalisation of less than one billion euros and which are not included in the FTSE MIB.<\/p>
\nThe Index was created with the aim of enhancing the universe of Italian listed small and medium-sized enterprises, fostering a meeting point between entrepreneurship, capital markets and the broader national economic system. It represents a genuine cross-section of the finest expertise within the Italian economy, helping to broaden and diversify investment opportunities compared to traditional indices, for both domestic and international investors.<\/p>
\nCompanies are selected according to stringent technical and financial criteria designed to ensure adequate levels of liquidity, transparency and investability, including minimum free float, sound governance standards, analyst coverage, financial sustainability and leverage levels, as well as overall representativeness within the Index itself.<\/p>
\nThe Index is part of PMI2Change, the innovative project launched by Banca Generali on 1 July 2026 in the prestigious setting of Palazzo Mezzanotte, home of Borsa Italiana. The initiative aims to support the growth and competitiveness of Italian entrepreneurs by fostering the development of listed SMEs. The project addresses the issue of limited liquidity and valuation of small listed companies, helping to create more efficient conditions for the matching of capital and businesses.<\/p>
\nThe initiative builds on the expertise of Intermonte, a leading Italian financial operator with over thirty years of experience in financial markets\u2014particularly in SME research, sales & trading, market making, and investment banking\u2014now part of the Banca Generali Group since early 2025.<\/p>
\nBuilding on the Index, Banca Generali, together with Investlinx and Intermonte, has launched a new actively managed, PIR-compliant ETF that will primarily invest in the universe defined by the Index itself. Banca Generali has committed to supporting the launch of the instrument with an initial fundraising target of \u20ac100 million in the first months, with a gradual increase in exposure up to \u20ac500 million in the medium term. The initiative is therefore expected to generate new investment flows of approximately \u20ac1\u20132 million per day, representing over 5% of the Index\u2019s free float.<\/p>
\n\u201cJust six months after our listing, we are pleased to have received this recognition, which confirms the soundness of the path we have taken and of our business model\u201d<\/i> commented Vitaliano Borromeo, Chairman of Kaleon.<\/b><\/p>
