For the defence and national security industry, three special powers may be exercised in the event of a real threat of serious harm to key defence and security interests: a) the imposition of specific conditions on the acquisition, in whatever form, of equity interests in companies engaged in activities of strategic importance for the defence and national security system; b) the power to veto decisions of shareholders’ meetings or management bodies of a company in that industry that would alter the corporate structure, change the corporate purpose, wind up the company, transfer property rights or the right to use property, plant, equipment or intangible assets or adopt restrictions on their use; c) opposition to the acquisition, in whatever form, of equity interests in a company that engages in activities of strategic importance for the defence and national security system by a party other than the Italian State or by Italian public entities if the purchaser would obtain a direct or indirect stake in the share capital with voting rights such that it could jeopardize, in that specific case, defence and national security interests.
