The general director of Telecom Italia (TIM) TLIT.MI, Pietro Labriola, met on Thursday in Paris with representatives of the group’s main investor, Vivendi VIV.PA, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The French media group and Mr. Labriola are at odds over TIM’s decision to sell its landline network to the American fund KKR KKR.N.
The sources described the meetings as “friendly” and “positive,” without providing further information.
The discussions took place as Mr. Labriola, who is working on a new business plan, is seeking a second term at the helm of the former telephone monopoly.
