Dow Jones

Feb 03, 2025

--BT's largest shareholder, Sunil Bharti Mittal, plans to meet with a dozen top executives at the company, including CEO Allison Kirkby, this week to explore BT's strategy, the Financial Times reports, citing unnamed sources.

--The meeting was arranged before Christmas after Mittal's acquisition of his shareholding from French billionaire Patrick Drahi received regulatory clearance, the Financial Times says.

--This is seen as a sign that Mittal will be much more involved in the telecoms operator's strategy than Drahi was, the Financial Times reports.

--BT declined to comment on this week's meetings when approached by the Financial Times.
