Vivendi to announce imminent Telecom Italia deal - report
2015-06-22 08:32:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) French media conglomerate Vivendi is expected to announce an imminent deal that will see it increase its stake in Telecom Italia to 14.9 percent and secure two board seats, according to an unnamed source cited by Reuters. The announcement could be made by 23 or 24 June, the source said. Vivendi is keen on consolidating its position as Telecom Italia's largest shareholder beyond the 8.3 percent it will receive from Telefonica as part-payment for its Brazilian broadband unit GVT and last week sources reported that the French company is planning to increase its stake to 10-15 percent. However, a report in Italian business daily Il Sole 24 Ore suggests the Brazilian antitrust watchdog will require Vivendi to first sell a 7.4 percent stake it still holds in Telefonica's Brazilian unit Vivo before it can raise its stake in Telecom Italia.

(Telecompaper) French media giant Vivendi wants Telecom Italia to explore a sale of its Brazilian mobile unit, TIM Brasil, once it becomes the Italian operator's largest shareholder, according to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg. Vivendi is keen to build on the 8.3 percent stake in Telecom Italia it will get from Telefonica as part-payment for its Brazilian broadband unit GVT and is looking to boost its holding to as much as 15 percent in the coming days, according to recent reports. Vincent Bollore, Vivendi's chairman and largest shareholder, wants Telecom Italia to consider a disposal of TIM Brasil in the next two years to focus on Europe, said one of the sources, with another adding that Bollore may merge Telecom Italia with a European rival in the medium term.
