Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
o.4 The Shareholders' Meeting is asked to resolve on the Management No Action
launch of the 2010-2014 public shareholding plan for
employees. The plan calls for a subscription offering
reserved for employees of a maximum of 31,000,000
ordinary shares at a discount of 10% off the market
price, up to a maximum limit of Euro 3,000 per employee,
with an installment option. Subscribers who retain their
shares for one year, subject to remaining in the
Company's employ, shall receive one ordinary bonus share
for every three shares subscribed for cash.
o.5 It is proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting approve the Management No Action
2010- 2015 long-term incentive plan reserved for a
selected portion of Telecom Italia's executives. The plan
calls for beneficiaries to be granted a cash bonus based
on three-year performances (2010- 2012) according to
predetermined parameters, with the option to invest 50%
of the bonus accrued in newly issued ordinary shares at
market prices, up to a maximum amount of Euro 5 million.
Subscribers who retain their shares for two years,
subject to remaining in the Company's employ, shall be
granted one ordinary bonus share for each share
subscribed for cash.
e.1 Amendment of Article 5 of the Bylaws - related and Management No Action
consequent resolutions: In connection with the 2010-2014
public shareholding plan for employees and the 2010-2015
long-term incentive plan and, more generally, in order to
provide the Shareholders Meeting with an additional
operational tool, it is proposed that Article 5 of the
Bylaws be amended to allow the allocation of profits to
the employees of the Company or its subsidiaries through
bonus share grants pursuant to Article 2349 of the
Italian Civil Code. The proposed amendment shall not give
rise to the right of withdrawal.
e.2 It is proposed that the Shareholders' Meeting - by Management No Action
amending Article 5 of the Bylaws subject to a single vote
authorize the Board of Directors to increase share
capital as follows: - in the service of the 2010-2014
public shareholding plan for employees, (i) for cash by
issuing a maximum of 31,000,000 ordinary shares,
pre-emption rights excluded, to be offered for
subscription to plan beneficiaries and, subsequently,
(ii) in the maximum amount of Euro 5,683,333.15 through
the allocation of the corresponding maximum amount of
profit pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil
Code, by issuing the number of ordinary shares required
to grant one bonus share per every three shares
subscribed for cash; - in the service of the 2010-2015
long-term incentive plan, (i) for cash by issuing
ordinary shares in the maximum amount of Euro 5.000,000,
pre-emption rights excluded, to be offered for
subscription to plan beneficiaries and, subsequently,
(ii) in the maximum amount of Euro 5.000,000 through the
allocation of the corresponding maximum amount of profit
pursuant to Article 2349 of the Italian Civil Code, by
issuing the number of ordinary shares required to grant
one bonus share per each share subscribed for cash. The
foregoing amendments to the Bylaws shall not entitle
shareholders who do not vote in favour thereof to
withdraw.
