Vivendi Intends to Appeal the Milan Court’s Decision About the Sale of TIM’s Fixed Network Vivendi takes note of the Milan court’s decision to reject its complaint against the decision of TIM’s Board of Directors concerning the sale of its fixed network. In a decision issued, the court considered this request inadmissible due to a lack of standing (notably because Vivendi would not have declared its voting intention in the event of a Shareholders' meeting being convened), and did not address the merits of the case. As a reminder, on December 15, 2023, Vivendi complaint against TIM before the Milan court, seeking the annulment of the resolution adopted by TIM’s Board of Directors November 5, 2023, approving the sale of its fixed network without submitting it to the Shareholders' meeting (nor to the related party transaction procedure), and requesting the declaration that the transaction agreement entered into on November 6, 2023, is unenforceable. Despite the dismissal of its request on purely formal grounds by the Milan court, Vivendi continues to believe that the sale of TIM’s network should have been subject to a vote at a Shareholders Meeting as it is an essential asset of the company which would change the corporate purpose of TIM. For this reason, Vivendi intends to appeal this decision. Bekanntmachung • Dec 17

Telecom Italia Reportedly May Sell Assets Telecom Italia S.p.A. (BIT:TIT), may sell assets worth about EUR 1 billion in a bid to further reduce its debt and potentially remunerate investors, a source familiar with the matter said. The phone carrier may dispose of its remaining stake in mobile tower operator Inwit, valued at about EUR 300 million, the source said, asking not to be named discussing private deliberations. That disposal would come in addition to the planned sale of the carrier's Telecom Italia Sparkle subsea unit, expected to come in at EUR 600 million - EUR 800 million. A deal for the Inwit holding is not imminent and could materialise as late as in 2026, the source added. A spokesperson for Telecom Italia declined to comment. The company said it will be able to meet its multi-year guidance even if its debt rises this year following the closure of a deal to sell off its fixed-line network - a move drawn up by the one-time monopoly in a bid to bring the debt under control. The newest disposal would help the former phone monopoly raise cash, which could then be used either to further cut debt or to remunerate shareholders. Telecom Italia's network sale - to US-based KKR & Co - was signed late last year, marking the first time a European phone carrier has opted to sell off its fixed-line grid. KKR last week confirmed that the deal is set to close in the summer. "Telecom Italia is expected to return to generating cash at group level, as well as in its domestic Italian market, thanks to our new three-year business plan," chief executive officer Pietro Labriola told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview over the weekend. The eventual sale of Sparkle will also help accelerate plans to possibly remunerate shareholders, the CEO said. Bekanntmachung • Dec 15

The French company has spoken with advisers as it evaluates potential options including a sale of the 24% holding, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. Representatives for Vivendi and Telecom Italia declined to comment. A sale could be part of a broader overhaul at Vivendi, which said on December 13, 2023 it’s considering splitting into three parts — pay-TV business Canal+; advertising and communications branch Havas; and a holding company with listed and unlisted stakes in culture, media and entertainment. The announcement made no mention of Telecom Italia. For the Italian company, an exit by Vivendi could smooth the way for the €22 billion sale of its fixed-line phone network to KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE:KKR). Vivendi, Telecom Italia’s biggest shareholder, wants to block the deal, and is finalizing legal action to halt it as soon as this week. Vivendi is set to contend that the deal doesn’t comply with Italian corporate law. Telecom Italia shares rose 5.6% to 0.263 cents at 4:46 p.m. in Milan, while Vivendi climbed 11% to €9.93, bolstered by news of the potential broader breakup. Bekanntmachung • Dec 07
