Telecom Italia alters bid for rest of mobile unit
Article Abstract:
Telecom Italia is terminating a plan to incorporate Telecom Italia Mobile SpA (TIM) by way of an exchange of shares. The company will instead offer almost $25 billion in cash to investors for the share it does not already own. Telecom made the move in response to the demands of its stockholders. Previously, Telecom CEO Franco Bernabe planned to merge the firm with TIM through a share exchange that would have increased the group's value.
