INWIT Rejects TIM’s Attempt to End Tower Deal, Citing Contract to 2038

Inwit ( (IT:INW) ) just unveiled an update.

INWIT has rejected a unilateral notice from TIM to terminate their Master Service Agreement and insists the contract remains in force until 2038 under change-of-control clauses both parties exercised in 2022. The tower group says TIM’s move lacks legal grounds, appears designed to force a renegotiation of terms, and will be challenged in all competent legal venues to protect INWIT and its stakeholders.

The company argues the long-term MSA structure is standard for capital-intensive tower infrastructure, underpinning investment and predictable returns in line with international practice. INWIT also stresses that its nationwide network is largely non-replicable, warning that any attempt by TIM to abandon its sites would require decades, billions in extra costs and significant environmental impact, potentially slowing Italy’s 5G development and harming service quality.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:INW) stock is a Hold with a EUR7.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Inwit stock, see the IT:INW Stock Forecast page.
