Speaking to reporters on the sideline of an event, Mion ruled out that frictions pitting Executive Chairman Leonardo Del Vecchio against Executive Vice Chairman Hubert Sagnieres could result in the merger unraveling.

“Not a chance. One argues in order to have a better relationship later on,” he said.
