LONDON, May 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ("FCA") (NYSE: FCAU / MTA: FCA) announced today that, on April 30 and May 1, 2016 (1) the deed of demerger relating to the ordinary shares in RCS MediaGroup S.p.A. ("RCS") held by FCA in favor of Interim One B.V. was executed and the demerger became effective on May 1, 2016 and (2) the liquidation of Interim One B.V. and the advance distribution of the ordinary shares in RCS were approved.

The demerger and liquidation are the principal steps in FCA's previously-announced plans to distribute the ordinary shares in RCS held by FCA to the holders of its common shares.

Holders of FCA common shares will be entitled to 0.067746 ordinary shares of RCS for each common share of FCA held.  The record date for the distribution is May 3, 2016 (for FCA common shares held through participants in the Monte Titoli system) and May 4, 2016 (for FCA common shares held through other participants in the DTC system), which accounts for the different standard settlement periods in Borsa Italiana and the New York Stock Exchange.
