It’s déjà vu all over again as Vivendi suffers another Italian defeat
Italian Media company Mediaset wants to merge its Italian and Spanish businesses, something that significant shareholder Vivendi opposes.
Italian Media company Mediaset wants to merge its Italian and Spanish businesses, something that significant shareholder Vivendi opposes.
Fulvio Conti, who was appointed as Chairman of Italian telecoms group TIM after Vivendi lost control of its board, thinks his work there is done.
French media giant Vivendi seems to be a bit short of cash, so it’s thinking of selling 10% of Universal Music to Tencent for three billion euros.
Vivendi-subsidiary Canal Plus has announced the €1 billion acquisition of pay-TV operator M7, expanding the business into seven new European markets.
French conglomerate Vivendi withdrew its bid to replace five TIM board members at the 11th hour but doesn’t seem happy about it.
The emotional level of the custody battle for TIM has reached a new pitch, with Vivendi starting to lose its composure.
It took the TIM board a few days to respond to a bunch of accusations thrown at it by Vivendi, but the result was pretty comprehensive.
Vivendi says a recent TIM auditors report shows dodgy behaviour from Elliott, which in turn reckons Vivendi is a negative influence on the company.
Vivendi wants Italian operator TIM to have a special meeting to choose new board members, but its auditors don’t agree.
The TIM board met today to discuss Vivendi’s request for a shareholder meeting and decided it can wait until the end of March.
Ahead of a TIM board meeting today Vivendi and TIM Chairman Fulvio Conti have been publicly bitching at each other.
As promised Vivendi has written to the board of Italian operator group TIM in a bid to replace Elliott-nominated members with its own proposed ones.
It was just a matter time before Vivendi reacted to its man being sacked as CEO of TIM and replaced by an Elliott ally.
The only surprising thing about ousted TIM CEO Genish publicly attacking Elliott was that it took so long.
A source close to Vivendi has revealed the names of the two people they think are most likely to get the TIM CEO job vacated this week by Amos Genish.
In one of the least surprising board room purges ever, Telecom Italia (or TIM for short) has got rid of its CEO Amos Genish.
Activist investor Elliott Advisors has hit back following criticism of TIM by French conglomerate Vivendi.
French telecoms and media conglomerate Vivendi has issued a statement saying how rubbish Italian operator group TIM has been since Vivendi lost control of the boardroom.
TIM CEO Amos Genish has been moaning about his executive board, which has prompted the inevitable damage limitation exercise.
Ahead of the TIM shareholders meeting on Friday, activist investor Elliott has felt the need to clarify its position once more.
