INWIT Shareholders Arrange Financing for Potential Take-Private Deal Amid Disputes
Major shareholders of INWIT, including Ardian and Oak Holdings backed by GIP, Vodafone, and KKR, are reportedly arranging financing for a potential take-private bid amid contractual disputes with key customers Telecom Italia and Fastweb. Discussions with banks are ongoing, with Abu Dhabi's Mubadala expected to join the investment. INWIT, Italy's largest mobile telecom towers company listed since 2015, has faced contract termination efforts from its main clients, prompting speculation about a buyout of minority shareholders. The involved parties have declined to comment.
