TIM announced that its board of directors  met today under the chairmanship of Salvatore Rossi. During the meeting TIM CEO Pietro Labriola presented the guidelines of the 2022-2024 industrial plan, which he will submit to the board on 2 March.
 
The CEO highlighted the need to:

• transform consumer products and services; 

• focus on the enterprise services such as cloud, IoT, and cybersecurity, leveraging the Group’s expertise and technological know-how; 

• and control operating costs and operating profits.

The CEO underscored the need to guarantee a stable, long-lasting outlook for growth from the network infrastructure, in the interest of all stakeholders.

Unanimous support

The board unanimously agreed – which has been a rare thing in recent times – to give the CEO a mandate to explore strategic options to maximise shareholder value, with specific reference to the Group’s infrastructure assets, including solutions that go beyond vertical integration.
 
The Board acknowledged that the ad-hoc committee appointed to analyse the indicative and non-binding expression of interest sent by KKR & Co is working with  financial advisers to and will compare it with the Group’s outlook and strategic alternatives that will be considered under the plan.
