At the beginning of 2005, Magneti Marelli increased its equity investment in the capital stock of the automotive light manufacturer
Mako Elektrik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. from 43% to 95%, thus acquiring control from the Turkish group Koç. As a result, the company,
previously accounted for using the equity method, has been consolidated on a line-by-line basis from January 1, 2005.
This transaction led to the acquisition of already recognised goodwill of 4 million euros from the acquired entity, which was left
unaltered in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2005 given the acquiree’s ability to earn a higher rate of return
and the fact that the value of this also stemmed from synergies to be realised after the acquisition as well as from other benefits
expected to arise from the operation.
