Vivendi's Legal Challenge: Vivendi, Telecom Italia's largest investor, is seeking to annul the sale of TIM's landline grid to KKR, claiming the decision should have required a shareholder vote and criticizing the deal's impact on TIM's business sustainability.
Potential Stake Sale: Vivendi, no longer viewing its TIM investment as strategic, is open to selling its stake valued at approximately 930 million euros, but any transaction requires approval from the Italian government for sales exceeding 3% of TIM.
