Agnelli Bids for Perrier Holding Company: Italy’s Agnelli family, which controls the Fiat automobile group, is offering to buy up to two-thirds of the French holding company Exor that controls the company that bottles and markets Perrier water. IFINT, a Luxembourg-based holding company controlled by the Agnelli family, offered $326 million for 1.36 million shares of Exor. If successful, the bid would raise Agnelli’s holdings to about two-thirds of the Paris-based company.
