AS Roma
After starting the process of sale of AS Roma, James J. Pallotta, along with three other American investors, Thomas R. DiBenedetto, Michael Ruane and Richard D'Amore, submitted a bid for the acquisition of the club A.S. Roma in a equal ownership ratio between the 4 people. The Italian-American manager was already interested in the team following the failure of negotiations with George Soros. On 15 February 2011 Unicredit starts exclusive negotiations with the U.S. consortium.
On 16 April 2011, following the signing of the contracts in Boston, the DiBenedetto group "DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC" became the new majority shareholder of A.S. Roma SpA and sole owner of two sister companies, "Brand Management S.r.l.", which actually the brand of Roma was held, and "ASR Real Estate S.r.l.". Under the agreement, a JV acquired all the share held by Sensi family (67.097%), which the shares already de facto owned by Unicredit for debt reconstruction. The new JV, "NEEP Roma Holding", was a joint venture of "DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC" (later renamed to AS Roma SPV LLC) and Unicredit in 60% and 40% ratio. "DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC" had option to purchase more shares from Unicredit in the first quarter of 2012. On 27 October 2011 Pallotta officially joined the board of directors of A.S. Roma and the executive committee of the same. Since August 27, 2012, he is the president of the Italian football club A.S. Roma, the 23rd of the club's history after Thomas R. DiBenedetto.
The "NEEP Roma Holding", with share capital of €120 million, planned a complete takeover by purchased all the shares held by the public (thus de-list AS Roma from Borsa Italiana) but failed.
In 2013 the ownership ratio of "NEEP Roma Holding" had changed to "AS Roma SPV LLC" 69% and UniCredit 31%. It is reported the deal was financed by Pallotta solely and NEEP purchased the shares from UniCredit for par value; co-currently with the new ownership ratio, "NEEP" had increased the share capital to €160,008,905 in order to re-capitalize "AS Roma SpA" the football club itself.
