The implied enterprise value is around $3.8bn (€3.3bn), equal to 9.8x 2025 EBITDA and 7.1x including run-rate synergies; the premium is about 23% over the 90-day volume-weighted average price as of 31 July 2026. Prysmian expands its North American business into cable-adjacent products such as conduit, cable management and framing systems, targeting demand from electrification and AI data centres. Closing is expected by the end of 2026, subject to Atkore shareholder and regulatory approval.

Update (7 Oct 2026): Atkore stockholders adopted the merger agreement at the virtual special meeting, with 27,600,871 votes in favour, 21,281 against and 18,885 abstentions.

The filing gives no completion date, and the remaining foreign-investment clearances are still outstanding (Atkore, Form 8-K filed with the SEC, 7 Oct 2026). Update (7 Oct 2026): After the shareholder vote Prysmian expects the acquisition to close on 19 October 2026, subject to the remaining regulatory clearance and customary conditions (Prysmian, press release, 7 Oct 2026).

British spirits group Diageo has opened a collective dismissal procedure at its Italian subsidiary covering 96 of the 127 posts at its Milan office — roughly three quarters of its Italian workforce. Administrative and sales functions are mainly affected; according to the Uila-Uil union (Alberto Donferri) many of those affected are women and about half have long service records, making redeployment difficult. The move is part of the reorganisation plan of the group's new chief executive and follows the disposal of the historic Santa Vittoria d'Alba production site and the relocation of the Italian head office from Turin to Milan barely a year ago. The opening of the procedure on 13 July 2026 is reported by fanpage.it; Il Giorno reported the details on 25 July 2026. Talks on alternatives have so far produced no result, according to the unions. UPDATE (31 July 2026): The negotiating round of 29 July 2026 at Assolombarda ended without result — the company is sticking to 96 of the 127 dismissals. The unions responded by calling an eight-hour strike and announced a protest rally at Assolombarda for Wednesday 5 August 2026. — Source: https://www.ilgiorno.it/milano/economia/diageo-licenziamenti-lns2i4nr

Milan's tram line 7 (Metrotranvia 7) was extended by about 1.5 km on 16 October 2025, from Via Anassagora to the new Adriano-Vipiteno terminus, adding four new stops (including Tremelloni-Gassman, Tremelloni-Tognazzi, Adriano-Lussu). The new section connects the Adriano district to metro lines M1 (Precotto) and M5 (Bicocca), Greco Pirelli railway station and Bicocca University, benefiting roughly 18,000 residents. The inaugurated section cost EUR 17.8 million, with an additional EUR 8 million spent on asbestos remediation of the site; further sections (Cascina Gobba-Adriano, Via Fulvio Testi-Niguarda Hospital, Bovisa) are under construction and expected in 2027. — Source: https://www.sustainable-bus.com/trolleybus-tramway/atm-milano-has-inaugurated-the-extension-of-metrotram-line-7/

Saipem and Subsea7 announced on 23 February 2025 their merger into 'Saipem7' (headquartered in Milan, listed in Milan and Oslo; Subsea7 shareholders receive 6.688 Saipem7 shares per share plus a €450 million special dividend; over 45,000 employees). Added in the 13 September 2026 catch-up run because the case had several milestones in the window: the European Commission opened an in-depth investigation on 22 July 2026 (concerns in the SURF market, deadline 26 November 2026) and stopped the clock from 25 August 2026 to obtain further information from the parties (Offshore Magazine, 11 September 2026). Completion had originally been planned for the second half of 2026. Update (7 Sep 2026): The original Phase II deadline of 26 November 2026 was extended to 16 December 2026 at the parties' request. Because the procedural clock has been stopped since 25 August 2026 with no fixed duration — restarting only once the Commission considers the requested information complete — that date is also considered at risk, and completion could slip into early 2027.
