Overall, completion of the Vodafone Italia transaction is on track. Swisscom secured the financing for the purchase price of EUR 8 billion in May and has received unconditional approval from both the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in Italy (Golden Power legislation) and the Swiss Competition Commission. The transaction is still subject to other regulatory approvals. Swisscom confirms that closing is expected in Q1 2025.
