Genenta's Board Resolution and New Identity

On October 20, 2026, the board of directors resolved that the company will do business as Saentra Forge and approved the ticker change from GNTA to SAEN. The company said the new identity reflects its transformation, announced in January 2026, into a strategic industrial consolidator that seeks majority or full ownership of companies in security-regulated sectors spanning aerospace, defense and national security, including physical AI, robotics, autonomous systems, advanced sensors and cybersecurity, as well as biotechnology and biosecurity.

"The forge is where strength takes shape," said Pierluigi Paracchi, Chief Executive Officer. "Saentra Forge brings together companies that already have the technology and the customers, and gives them governance, access to capital and a long-term owner aligned with the country's strategic interests."

Alongside the business name, Genenta is introducing a new logo, color palette and corporate website at www.saentra.com, to be rolled out across communications, investor materials and digital channels from November 4, 2026. The legal name stays Genenta Science S.p.A., and the company said its by-laws, corporate structure, jurisdiction of incorporation, tax identifiers and existing contracts are unaffected. No action is required from shareholders or ADS holders.

Genenta's Aerospace and Defense Acquisitions

According to akta.pro company records, Genenta signed definitive agreements in April 2026 to acquire a 51% controlling stake in Sòphia High Tech, an Italian aerospace and defense manufacturer, for €6 million in two capital increases. In January 2026 the company made an initial investment of up to €5.1 million in ATC, a NATO-qualified manufacturer of tactical rifles and special-forces weapon systems, under a binding agreement to fund ATC with the goal of acquiring a controlling position once performance milestones are met.
