Activist investor Elliott Management Corp. has raised its stake in Telecom Italia SpA (TIT.MI) to 8.8%, according to a regulatory filing on Monday.

The news comes as Elliott pressures Vivendi SA (VIV.FR), holder of a 24% Telecom Italia stake, for changes at the telecoms company. The power struggle between the two recently triggered the resignation of eight Vivendi-affiliated board members, forcing a complete reshuffle of the board.

Shareholders will vote for a new board on May 4.
