The Presidency of the Council of Ministers confirms in its resolution, received by Swisscom on 17 May 2024, that «the notified transaction does not determine a threat of serious prejudice to national interests and that, therefore, the conditions for the exercise of the special powers referred to in Article 2 of Law Decree No. 21 of 2012 do not occur».

Overall, the completion of the Vodafone Italia transaction is on track; it remains subject to further regulatory and other customary approvals. Closing is expected in Q1 2025.

The Golden Power legislation grants the Italian government special power to review and impose vetoes, special conditions and prescriptions on certain transactions, investments or corporate resolutions that could threaten or prejudice essential Italian public interests.
