Tether also said it plans to propose some “governance changes” at the Nov. 7 meeting, though did not elaborate what these are, the report said. Juventus investors will vote upon the company’s board renewal at the shareholder meeting.
Tether acquired 8.2% of Juventus in February, and subsequently increased its stake to over 10% in April.
In the months that followed, Tether sought a more active role in I Bianconeri’s (The White and Blacks) operations, asking to participate in club’s capital increase and be granted a board seat.
Juventus, which is regarded as one of the most famous soccer clubs in the world, dominated Italy’s top division Serie A throughout the 2010s. It is also the favorite team of Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino.
Tether did not respond to CoinDesk’s request for further comment.
