Poste Italiane reopens Telecom Italia tender at €1.97 plus 0.218 Poste shares
Poste Italiane reopened its voluntary tender-and-exchange offer for Telecom Italia for a September 21–25, 2026 acceptance period. The revised consideration is €1.97 in cash plus 0.218 newly issued Poste shares per Telecom Italia share. Poste is seeking roughly 90% ownership, a level that could support a squeeze-out and Telecom Italia’s delisting.
The input supports a concrete, forward-looking takeover milestone: Poste Italiane reopened a dated acceptance window for Telecom Italia and revised the cash-and-share consideration while pursuing roughly 90% ownership. The most specific development type is merger_acquisition because the action is a tender offer seeking increased control. The reopening date is explicitly September 21, 2026, but no intraday occurrence time is provided, so 00:00 UTC is used as a date-level normalization and timestamp confidence is lower than overall factual confidence. The €13 billion package figure is omitted because it appears in an AI-generated recap and conflicts with another supplied figure for the implied monetary value. Importance is high because the development can change control, squeeze-out, and delisting probabilities, while surprise is moderate because it continues an existing tender-offer storyline. Poste Italiania and Telecom Italia are direct stakeholders; BNP Paribas and Mediobanca are also approved because the supplied context explicitly identifies them as arranging additional financing for the revised offer. The development is distinct from the prior 66.6% stake result but clearly continues existing event 4161, so it is not a duplicate and should be approved.
Poste Italiane SpA (MIL:PST) reopened a Sept 21–25 bid for Telecom Italia, offering €1.97/share cash plus a 0.218 share exchange in a €13bn cash‑and‑stock package as it seeks to push its stake toward ~90% and possibly delist TIM.
