(Reuters) Activist fund Elliott turned up the volume in its war of words with Vivendi over the French media group’s defense of its strategy for Telecom Italia (TIM), only days before a fight for board seats at Italy’s biggest phone group. Elliott, now TIM’s second-largest investor with a 9 percent stake, is pushing for a shake-up of the way Vivendi has been running the Italian phone incumbent. It is seeking to replace six of Vivendi-nominated board members at a shareholder meeting on Tuesday to improve governance, valuation and strategy.
