A court in Milan rejected Telecom Italia’s request for interim measures against the KKR-backed FiberCop. The dispute concerned new tariffs and the disclosure of the commercial terms of the Master Service Agreement that governs TIM’s network access. The court found that TIM’s interpretation of the contract is not supported by its basis and that the prices cited in the MSA do not apply to areas regulated by AGCOM, so FiberCop is not obliged to provide the requested disclosure. » Więcej na de.investing.com

The supervisory board of Telecom Italia considers Poste’s €10.8 billion takeover bid to be appropriate and is expected to confirm this at a meeting before the start of the formal offer period. A positive assessment is likely to reduce pressure on Poste to raise the bid and could affect investors’ valuation of the deal. Poste already holds about 20% of Telecom Italia; after prior restructuring and debt reduction, the transaction would largely return the company to state control. » Więcej na de.investing.com
