Roma owners the Friedkin family have completed their process of buying back shares, so they can now take the club off the stock exchange after 22 years.

The plan for delisting had been in place from when the Friedkin Group first purchased the club from Jim Pallotta in August 2020.

At that time, Pallotta owned 86.6 per cent of the shares in the club and the cost of the operation was $591m.

The delisting process was begun in May 2022, purchasing back shares for roughly €35m, which would allow the group to have at least 95 per cent of the club.

Today that option period closed and the Friedkin Group managed even better than expected, as close to 96 per cent of the total shares are now in their possession.

They will be able to take Roma off the stock exchange in September 2022, after almost 22 years, beginning a new era for the club.
