Here are some companies we expect will be making headlines in 2017.
1. PIRELLI
The world's fifth-largest tire maker was acquired by Chinese state-owned China National Chemical Corp. in 2015 and de-listed from the Milan stock exchange later that year. But at the time of the acquisition, CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera said the plan was for ChemChina to re-list the company by 2019 at the latest.
Pirelli, according to ChemChina, was taken private to facilitate restructuring, but with the company no longer required to report its financials it's unclear how the company has been restructured.
