Leone Capital Board Resolves to Temporarily Place the AviAROMA Airways Project on Standby

Leone Capital LLC announces that its Board has resolved to temporarily place the AviAROMA Airways project on standby.

The decision follows a careful review of the current aviation and financial environment, with particular reference to the continuing instability of global financial markets, the broader geopolitical uncertainty affecting international aviation, and the increasingly critical situation concerning aircraft engine reliability, delivery schedules and operational availability for new-generation aircraft.

AviAROMA Airways has been developed over the past three years as a detailed and ambitious regional aviation platform, designed to connect strategic routes and support a new model of sustainable air mobility. During this period, the project has been subject to extensive strategic, operational and financial analysis.

However, the Board has determined that the present market conditions do not offer the level of stability, predictability and technical reliability required to proceed responsibly with the next phase of implementation.

This decision is not a definitive abandonment of the project.

Leone Capital remains convinced of the strategic value of the AviAROMA Airways concept and will continue to monitor developments in the aviation market, aircraft and engine availability, financing conditions and geopolitical dynamics.

The project will therefore remain on standby until more favorable and sustainable conditions allow the Board to reassess its possible reactivation.

Leone Capital adopts the "Digital Silence Policy"

Leone Capital LLC announces that its Board of Directors has approved the adoption of the Digital Silence Policy, following a proposal submitted by the company's management.

Under this policy, Leone Capital will terminate any active corporate presence and communication activity on social media platforms.

The decision reflects a clear strategic position: social media environments have increasingly become unreliable, noisy and reputationally risky spaces, often incompatible with the discretion, privacy and institutional standards required by Leone Capital and by its clients.

Leone Capital believes that serious advisory, corporate finance, crisis management and international business development activities must be conducted through direct, qualified and controlled channels of communication.

The company will therefore focus exclusively on its official website, direct institutional correspondence, selected professional networks and private client communication.

With the Digital Silence Policy, Leone Capital reaffirms its commitment to confidentiality, reputation protection and high-level corporate conduct.
