据两位知情人士周四透露，德尔芬这家由意大利德尔·韦基奥家族掌控的控股公司，同时也是依视路陆逊梯卡集团的最大股东，近期已与多家银行展开初步洽谈，旨在为收购部分股东持有的公司股份筹措资金。
Delfin, the holding company of Italy's Del Vecchio family and top shareholder in EssilorLuxottica (ESLX.PA), has held preliminary talks with banks to explore financing options for a possible purchase of stakes in Delfin held by one or more shareholders, two people close to the matter said on Thursday.
由于依视路陆逊梯卡集团创始人莱昂纳多·德尔·韦基奥的八位继承人之间意见分歧严重，德尔芬公司长期陷入僵局，家族成员始终无法化解继承权纷争，也难以团结一致对公司决策施加影响。
Disagreements among the eight heirs of late EssilorLuxottica founder Leonardo Del Vecchio have left Delfin in a prolonged deadlock, preventing the family from ending a succession dispute and acting cohesively to influence decisions at the holding company.
上述人士还指出，目前关于股份收购的磋商尚处于非常早期的阶段，能否最终促成交易尚不确定。德尔芬公司方面暂未对此事作出回应。
The discussions on taking over stakes are at a very early stage and there is no certainty they will lead to a transaction, the people added. Delfin declined to comment.
意大利《晚邮报》周四报道称，德尔芬正计划收购两名股东合计约25%的公司股份，但并未透露这两名股东的具体身份。若交易达成，持有德尔芬股份的继承人数量将从八人减至六人，届时每位继承人所持有的股份比例也将从12.5%升至约16.5%。
Italy's Corriere della Sera reported on Thursday that Delfin was exploring the acquisition of two shareholders' stakes, equivalent to about 25% of the company. It did not identify the two shareholders.
目前德尔芬的净资产估值约为400亿欧元（约合448.7亿美元），其中绝大部分资产来自其持有的依视路陆逊梯卡集团32.4%的股份。此外，该公司还持有意大利蒙蒂德帕斯基银行、忠利保险等多家企业的少量股份。
Such a deal would reduce the number of heirs holding shares in Delfin from eight to six, leaving each with an interest of roughly 16.5% instead of 12.5%. Delfin has a net asset value estimated at around €40 billion ($44.87 billion), with the bulk of it coming from the 32.4% stake in EssilorLuxottica.
今年上半年，莱昂纳多·马里亚·德尔·韦基奥曾试图出资约100亿欧元收购两名兄弟姐妹持有的合计25%的德尔芬股份，但该计划最终未能落地。
It also has minority stakes in Italian bank MPS (BMPS.MI) and insurer Assicurazioni Generali (GASI.MI) among others.
当时，身兼德尔芬董事长的依视路陆逊梯卡集团首席执行官弗朗西斯科·米莱里对公司股权结构趋于精简表示欢迎。
In the first half of this year, Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio sought to buy out two of his siblings, offering around €10 billion for a combined 25% stake in Delfin, but the deal did not materialise.
意大利《24小时太阳报》周四报道称，当前磋商的核心内容正是德尔芬收购莱昂纳多·马里亚·德尔·韦基奥所持有的12.5%股份一事。本周早些时候，莱昂纳多·马里亚曾公开批评弗朗西斯科·米莱里在执掌依视路陆逊梯卡集团期间的领导表现。
At that time, EssilorLuxottica CEO Francesco Milleri, who is also Delfin chair, welcomed a streamlined Delfin ownership structure. Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported on Thursday that discussions were focused on a possible acquisition by Delfin of the 12.5% stake held by Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, who earlier this week renewed criticism of Chief Executive Francesco Milleri's leadership of EssilorLuxottica.
