Italy to discuss KKR’s move on TIM after binding bid
The Italian government will discuss KKR’s proposed takeover on Telecom Italia (TIM) when the U.S. fund makes a binding proposal, Industry Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said on Wednesday.
TIM said on Sunday it had received a non-binding 10.8 billion euro ($12.10 billion) offer from KKR aimed at taking Italy’s biggest phone group private.
Rome has special anti-takeover powers to shield companies deemed of strategic importance from foreign bids.
“It is too early to talk about that,” Giorgetti said. Reuters
