The TIM Board of Directors, meeting on May 29, 2024 under the chairmanship of Alberta Figari, unanimously approved the Financial information at March 31, 2024.
TIM voluntarily prepares and publishes periodic financial information for the first and third quarters of each financial year as part of the Company's policy to regular report its financial and operating performance to the market and investors in line with best market practices.
The presentation of this Financial Report at March 31, 2024 is unchanged from the 2023 Annual Financial Report, since all necessary authorizations to complete the sale of TIM's fixed network activities ("NetCo") have not been obtained as of the reporting date. Therefore, the results of the TIM Group and the Domestic Business Unit include the income statement, statement of financial position and statement of cash flow results both of the business components associated with "ServiceCo" and the fixed network components designated for future sale ("NetCo").
In order to provide a better understanding of the performance of the business, a section has been included in the Annexes containing organic economic and financial information reworked on the basis of management information ("like-for-like information") relating to the operating performance in the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023 for the scope of "ServiceCo".
The consolidated data included in the TIM Group's periodic financial information as at March 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting standards, the recognition and measurement criteria, and the consolidation criteria and methods adopted for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (to which reference should be made for a more extensive discussion), except as regards the amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB and effective from January 1, 2024. These figures have not been audited.
TIM Group, in addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by the IFRS Accounting Standards, uses certain alternative performance measures in order to present a better understanding of the trend of operations and financial condition.
Specifically, these alternative performance measures refer to: EBITDA; EBIT; organic change and impact of nonrecurring items on revenues, EBITDA and EBIT; EBITDA margin and EBIT margin; Net financial debt carrying amount and adjusted net financial debt; Equity Free Cash Flow, Cash flow from operations; Cash flow from operations (net of licenses). Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group also presents the following additional alternative performance measures: EBITDA After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), Adjusted net financial debt After Lease, Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease.
In line with the ESMA guidance on alternative performance measures (Guidelines ESMA/2015/1415), the meaning and contents of such are explained in the annexes and the analytical detail of the amounts of the reclassifications introduced and of the methods for determining indicators is also provided.
Finally, it should be noted that the section "Business Outlook for the year 2024" contains forward-looking statements regarding the Group's intentions, beliefs and current expectations in relation to the Group's financial results and other aspects of the Group's activities and strategies. Readers of this publication should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, as the actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forecasts as a result of risks and uncertainties arising from a variety of factors, most of which are beyond the Group's control. For further details, please refer to the "Main risks and uncertainties" chapter, as well as to the Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, which details the main risks relating to the TIM Group's business activities which could affect, including considerably, the ability to achieve the objectives set.


As announced at the Capital Market Day on 7 March 2024, TIM continues the transformation process started in the previous two years and, through the upcoming sale of NetCo, is adopting a new business model that will allow the Group to compete more effectively on the market, thanks to a greater focus on industrial components and the reduction of financial debt.
On a vertically integrated basis, the Group's Adjusted Net Financial Debt After Lease at 31 March 2024 amounted to 21.4 billion euros, with an increase of 1 billion euros compared to 31 December 2023. Debt was affected by some non-recurring effects, the main one being in particular those resulting from the preventive seizure order issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Milan on 28 February 2024, in the amount of 249 million euros, for which refund to the Company was ordered on 24 April 2024, after the closing of the first quarter. Net of the aforementioned non-recurring effects, the underlying trend in Group's debt, which was affected by higher financial and operational needs, payment of dividends by TIM Brazil and some seasonal dynamics, is in line with 2024 guidance.
In order to provide an indication on ServCo's business performance, below is presented operating and financial information which simulates the effects of the disposal of NetCo as of 1 January 2022. The information also considers the effects arising from the business relationship with NetCo, which will result from the Master Service Agreement (MSA) to be signed with NetCo and from the simultaneous reorganization of domestic activities in TIM Consumer and TIM Enterprise.
On the basis of the results as at 31 March 2024, TIM confirms all the guidance provided to the market for the current year.

■ Decommissioning and efficiency activities continued at our industrial sites to reduce energy consumption. In particular, the switch-off of 61 copper exchanges was announced in March. The switch-off will take place from 25 May and will affect 7 power plants in Sicily, 10 in Calabria, 3 in Basilicata, 15 in Campania, 4 in Puglia, 1 in Molise, 15 in Lazio, 1 in Tuscany, 1 in Emilia-Romagna, 1 in Lombardy and 3 in Veneto. Before then, TIM customers will have new ultra-broadband digital connections switched in free of charge, with a modem delivered to their homes and the home system checked by the Company's technicians.

During the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023, there were no significant changes to the scope of consolidation.
Total TIM Group revenues for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 3,930 million euros, +2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2023 (3,847 million euros).
The breakdown of total revenues for the first quarter of 2024 by operating segment in comparison with the first quarter of 2023 is as follows:

The organic change in consolidated Group revenues is calculated by excluding the effect of changes in exchange rates2 (+ 36 million euros) and changes in the scope of consolidation.
TIM Group EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 came to 1,420 million euros (1,039 million euros in the first quarter of 2023, +36.7% in reported terms; +1.6% in organic terms).
The breakdown of EBITDA and the EBITDA margin broken down by operating segment for the first quarter of 2024 compared with the first quarter of 2023, are as follows:

Organic EBITDA - net of the non-recurring items amounted to 1,500 million euros; the EBITDA margin was 38.2% (1,476 million euros in the first quarter of 2023, with an EBITDA margin of 38.0%).
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was affected by non-recurring charges totalling 80 million euros, mainly relating to provisions and charges for wage subsidies and individual redundancy plans, as provided for in the trade union agreement signed by the Parent Company TIM S.p.A. with the Trade Unions on March 29, 2024. This performance was also down to provisions for regulatory disputes and potential liabilities related to them, and to the development of non-recurring projects.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was affected by non-recurring charges for a total of 420 million euros, mainly relating to personnel costs and personnel provisions, relating also to the application of Art. 4 of Law No. 92 of June 28, 2012.
2The average exchange rates used for the translation into euro (expressed in terms of units of local currency per 1 euro) were 5.37650 in the first quarter of 2024 and 5.57246 in the first quarter of 2023 for the Brazilian real; for the U.S. dollar, the rates were 1.08601 for the first quarter of 2024 and 1.07301 for the first quarter of 2023. The effect of the change in exchange rates is calculated by applying the foreign currency translation rates used for the current period to the period under comparison.

Specifically:
Adjusted Net Financial Debt amounted to 26,644 million euros at March 31, 2024, an increase of 988 million euros compared to December 31, 2023 (25,656 million euros). This came as a net effect of operating and financial requirements related in part to the management of lease debts and the payment of dividends in Brazil, and was also impacted to the tune of 249 million euros by the seizure of liquid assets held by TIM S.p.A. ordered by the investigating judge of the Court of Milan on February 8, 2024 as part of an alleged fraud in extra paid services; the full return of the seized assets was ordered at the end of April 2024.
The Group's Operating Free Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2024 was essentially nil (+298 million euros in the first quarter of 2023).
Equity Free Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2024 came to -790 million euros (-117 million euros in the first quarter of 2023). This financial measure represents the free cash flow available for the remuneration of own capital, to repay debt and to cover any financial investments and payments of licenses and frequencies.
For a better understanding of the information, the table below shows the various ways by which the Net Financial Debt can be shown:
| (million euros) | 3.31.2024 | 12.31.2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | (b) | (a-b) | |
| Net financial debt carrying amount | 26,810 | 25,776 | 1,034 |

| Adjusted Net Financial Debt | 26,644 | 25,656 | 988 |
| Leases | (5,274) | (5,307) | 33 |
| Adjusted Net Financial Debt - After Lease | 21,370 | 20,349 | 1,021 |
Net financial debt carrying amount amounted to 26,810 million euros at March 31, 2024, an increase of 1,034 million euros compared to December 31, 2023 (25,776 million euros). The reversal of the fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets records an annual change of negative 46 million euros due to the dynamics of the interest rate markets; this valuation adjusts the booked Net Financial Debt with no monetary effect.
Adjusted Net Financial Debt – After Lease (net of lease contracts) was equal to 21,370 million euros at March 31, 2024, up by 1,021 million euros compared to December 31, 2023 (20,349 million euros).
As of March 31, 2024, the TIM Group's available liquidity margin was equal to 6,974 million euros and calculated considering:
This margin is sufficient until 31 March, 2024 to cover Group financial liabilities (current and otherwise) falling due over the next 20 months. The amount of the margin was affected by the aforementioned seizure of liquid assets totaling 249 million euros, which were ordered to be returned in full at the end of April 2024.
It should be noted that the sale of non-recourse trade receivables to factoring companies completed in the first quarter of 2024 had a positive effect of 838 million euros on net financial debt at March 31, 2024 (1,135 million euros at December 31, 2023).
Domestic Business Unit revenues amounted to 2,806 million euros, down 37 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023 (-1.3%). In organic terms, these were down by 36 million euros (-1.3% on the first quarter of 2023).
Revenues from stand-alone services amounted to 2,584 million euros (+33 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023, +1.3%), thanks to the growth in ICT and Multimedia revenues despite the impact of a competitive market on the customer base; in organic terms, these were up by 34 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023 (+1.3%).
In detail:
Handset and Bundle & Handset revenues, including the change in work in progress, amounted to 222 million euros in the first quarter of 2024, down by 70 million euros compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the benefit during the first quarter of 2023 of the commercial agreement entered into between TIM and FiberCop (on the one hand) and Open Fiber (on the other) concerning "white areas" (areas with low population density with no prospect of private investment in ultra-broadband). This agreement provided that Open Fiber would purchase from FiberCop the right of use (IRU) for overhead infrastructure and access links to the customer's home.
Below, revenues are broken down by: Consumer and Small Medium Business, Enterprise, Wholesale National Market, Wholesale International Market, Other; complete with an analytical description of the scope of reference, in line with the representation of previous periods. Following the completion of the delayering operation, with the subsequent sale of NetCo, this representation will be modified and integrated with the reorganization of domestic activities in the TIM Consumer and TIM Enterprise areas.
■ Consumer and Small Medium Business (SMB). The segment consists of all Fixed and Mobile voice and Internet services and products managed and developed for individuals and families (of public telephony, caring and the administrative management of customers) and for and for customers of SMEs (small and mediumsized enterprises) and SOHO (small office home office);; it includes the company TIM Retail, which coordinates the activities of its stores).

in organic terms, the revenues of the Consumer and SMB segment totalled 1,369 million euros (-10 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023, -0.8%) and show a trend affected by the challenging competition. The trend seen in total revenues also applied, albeit less pronounced, to revenues from services, which amounted to 1,244 million euros, down by 3 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023 (- 0.3%).
In addition:
Handset and Bundle & Handset revenues in the Consumer and SMB segment amounted to 125 millions of euros, -7 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023: The change is mainly related to the gradual slowdown in the mobile handset business.
■ Enterprise. This segment comprises the connectivity services and products and the ICT solutions managed and developed for Top, Public Sector and Large Account customers. The following companies are included: Olivetti, TI Trust Technologies, Telsy and Noovle.
in organic terms, revenues for the segment amounted to 709 million euros, up by 17 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023 (+2.4%), mainly thanks to the revenues from the stand-alone services component (+4.4%).

Specifically:
In the first quarter of 2024, the Wholesale National Market segment reported revenues of 507 million euros, an increase of 13 million euros (+2.6%) compared to the first quarter of 2023, thanks also to the positive impact of regulatory price dynamics.
■ Wholesale International Market. Includes the activities of the Telecom Italia Sparkle group, which operates in the market for international voice, data and Internet services for fixed and mobile telecommunications operators, ISPs/ASPs (Wholesale market) and multinational companies through its own networks in the European, Mediterranean and South American markets.
Revenues in the Wholesale International Market segment in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 215 million euros, down on the first quarter of 2023 (-12 million euros, -5.5%) due to the reduction and rationalization of traditional voice revenues, which was partially offset by the revenue growth from solutions for mobile operators and co-location services.
• Staff & Other: services carried out by staff and other support activities carried out by smaller companies. Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were 54 million euros, a decrease of 49 million euros compared to the first quarter of 2023. It bears noting that revenues in the first quarter of 2023 benefited from approximately 60 million euros due to the abovementioned commercial agreement entered into between TIM and FiberCop (on the one hand) and Open Fiber (on the other) concerning "white areas".
■ Eliminations: in the first quarter of 2024, these amounted to 48 million euros (53 million euros in the first quarter of 2023).

Revenues of the Brazil Business Unit (TIM Brasil group) in the first quarter of 2024 were 6,096 million reais (5,640 million reais in the first quarter of 2023, +8.1%).
The acceleration has been determined by service revenues (5,910 million reais vs 5,467 million reais in the first quarter of 2023, +8.1%) with mobile service revenues growing 8.2% on the first quarter of 2023. This performance is mainly attributable to the continuous improvement of the post-paid segment. Revenues from fixed services grew by 5.6% compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven above all by the growth rate of Ultrafibre.
Revenues from product sales totaled 186 million reais (173 million reais in the first quarter of 2023).
Mobile ARPU in the first quarter of 2024 totaled 30.4 reais (27.7 reais in the first quarter of 2023).
Total mobile lines at March 31, 2024 amounted to 61.4 million, +0.2 million lines compared to December 31, 2023 (61.2 million lines). Within this change, +0.5 million is attributable to the post-paid segment and -0.3 million to the pre-paid segment. Post-paid customers represented 45.7% of the customer base as of March 31, 2024 (45.1% as of December 31, 2023).
Broadband ARPU in the first quarter of 2024 totaled 95.8 reais (97.8 reais in the first quarter of 2023).
EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 was 2,876 million reais (2,559 million reais in the first quarter of 2023, 12.4%) and the margin on revenues amounted to 47.2% (45.4% in the first quarter of 2023).
Organic EBITDA, net of the non-recurring items, increased by 11.8% and was calculated as follows:

| ORGANIC EBITDA - excluding non-recurring items | 2,876 | 2,572 | 304 | 11.8 |
The growth in EBITDA can mainly be attributed to the positive performance of revenues from services.
The relative margin on revenues, in organic terms, comes to 47.2% (45.6% in the first quarter of 2023).
EBIT for the first quarter of 2024 came to 1,135 million reais (796 million reais in the first quarter of 2023, +42.6%).
Organic EBIT - net of the non-recurring items in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 1,135 million reais (809 million euros in the first quarter of 2023), with an EBITDA margin of 18.6% (14.3% in the first quarter of 2023).

TIM's Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2024 appointed a 9-member Board of Directors and a new Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-year period 2024-2026 (until the approval of the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026).
The following Directors were appointed to the Board of Directors:
Alberta Figari (as Chair), Pietro Labriola (as Chief Executive Officer), Giovanni Gorno Tempini, Paola Camagni, Federico Ferro Luzzi, Domitilla Benigni, Umberto Paolucci, Stefano Siragusa, Paola Giannotti De Ponti.
The following were appointed to the Board of Statutory Auditors:
Risk governance is a strategic tool for value creation.
The TIM Group has adopted an Enterprise Risk Management model, which is continuously being improved and aligned with international regulations and standards and enables risks to be identified, assessed and managed in a homogenous way within the Group, highlighting potential synergies between the players involved in the assessment of the Internal Control and Risk Management System. The Enterprise Risk Management process is integrated with strategic and operational planning processes and is designed to identify potential events that may affect the company's business so that these risks can be managed within acceptable limits and reasonable assurance provided about the achievement of its business objectives.
The Enterprise Risk Management model adopted by the TIM Group:
In this context, it is worth highlighting the continuing Russia-Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine and the potential for inflation-related increases in costs. Other factors include: market developments, the entry of new potential competitors in the fixed and mobile sector, proceedings initiated by the Authorities and the consequent delays in implementing new strategies, problems related to new networks and infrastructures, and the fulfilment of obligations concerning the "Golden Powers" exercised by the Government, the effects of which are to be assessed in terms of the strategic choices and temporal deployment of the Plan objectives.
The TIM Group's economic and financial situation, including its ability to sustain the expected level of cash flows and margins, is influenced by multiple macroeconomic factors such as economic growth, consumer confidence, interest rates, increased inflation rate and the exchange rates in the markets in which it operates.
Added to these factors is the uncertainty around developments of the war in Ukraine, the recently emerged Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the structural transformation of energy markets.
In 2023, Italy's GDP grew by 0.9%, compared to growth of 3.7% the previous year. Also for the current year, growth expectations – which are similar to those recorded last year – are dependent on (i) the actual materialization of the expected reduction in inflation (and the consequent reduction in interest rates), (ii) a partial recovery in wages, and (iii) the absence of a further deterioration in the international geopolitical situation.
The volatility of energy prices is affecting European industry, especially the most energy-intensive sectors. The energy supply shock in 2022 highlighted European countries' dependence on fossil fuels. The greatest uncertainties are related to the growth of the other major global economies, possible developments in the war in Ukraine and its possible repercussions both in terms of sanctions and impacts on the energy market. In addition, the recently emerged Israeli-Palestinian conflict could produce further imbalances, bringing with them energy problems given the importance of the region, which is home to the main oil producers and the main sea routes through the Gulf of Suez.
As regards energy costs, it should be noted that the TIM Group has implemented a hedging and savings programme which, domestically, made it possible to cover in advance most of the 2023 needs, almost all of 2024 and part of 2025.
One area that merits particular attention is the impact that the current geopolitical context could have on supply chains. In particular, inflation of energy costs could affect transport costs and raw material costs. In addition, heightened geopolitical risk and stress within global supply chains following the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are contributing to fears of slower growth in global trade. A series of targeted interventionist policies by the West towards countries that depend on imports of advanced technologies, and rising tensions between the United States and China, could exacerbate an already tense situation.
In Brazil, GDP grew by 2.9% in 2023, which was close to the 3% recorded a year earlier. The results achieved for 2023 are due to better-than-expected performance in agricultural production (+15%), private consumption and exports. For 2024, on the other hand, the Central Bank of Brazil and the World Bank expect GDP growth of around 1.5% to 1.6%, which should also follow a more moderate performance of agricultural activities.
As regards the Russia-Ukraine conflict, at present, the impact of the geopolitical situation on the TIM Group's business is indirect, mainly linked to the increase in costs for energy, materials and transport.
If military, economic and political tensions should continue to grow, the situation could have major consequences globally, causing a serious threat to global security that could increase and intensify risks for the TIM Group. Such risks include the security and protection of the TIM Group workforce, the possibility that cyber attacks may strike the networks and data of the TIM Group or its customers, an increased probability of a shock of the supply chain that would entail higher inflation in the short and medium term.
In particular, for companies in the TIM Sparkle group (part of the TIM Group) operating in the areas impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there were no significant repercussions on commercial relations, on the demand for international services from the areas affected by the conflict and on the substantially regular collection of trade receivables. The TIM Group does not have significant assets in the countries concerned. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has also indirectly led to a general increase in energy prices, and in the third quarter of 2023 some TIM Sparkle group companies incurred higher energy costs than in previous periods. The increase in energy prices has also led to an increase in inflation and, ultimately, in the cost of financing. TIM Sparkle group companies are taking measures to reduce fluctuations in energy costs in around 40 countries around the world. In Italy, the steps taken by TIM Sparkle group companies are aligned with the TIM Group's strategies to deal with inflation. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine conflict could entail cyber attacks against the countries supporting economic sanctions against Russia. TIM Sparkle group companies, in coordination with the National Cybersecurity Agency ("ACN"), have raised the alert level of ICT monitoring for IT security risks, in line with the other TIM Group entities that have implemented ACN's technical indications.
With regard to the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine, which arose at the beginning of October 2023, and the related turmoil in the Red Sea area, the implications for the Group are still uncertain and should become clearer over time. However, at first glance, there could be impacts both in terms of cost volatility (e.g.: energy) and in international trade relations.

As part of a process to identify and define initiatives to develop the Company's internal risk management system, in 2022 the TIM Group set up a Technical Committee to supervise complex contracts (the "Technical Committee").
The Technical Committee has defined:
Since 2021, some multi-year contracts for the offer of multimedia content and a connectivity agreement have showed an overall negative margin over the entire contract term, with provisions having to be made for contractual risks for onerous contracts for the residual durations of the agreements. The residual value of the provision and the forecasts of the total contractual margin are periodically revised in order to confirm or update the initial estimates and the residual amount of the provision itself.
The utilization of the contractual risks provision for onerous contracts makes it possible to offset the negative EBITDA component (referring both to business operating performance and the commitments in terms of fees that TIM is contractually obliged to pay to counterparties) by recognizing a zero (organic) operating margin over the duration of the contract.
At March 31, 2024, the provision for contractual risks for onerous contracts totalled 208 million euros, which is sufficient to compensate the negative margins over the entire duration of the contract.
From a financial point of view, the negative margin covered by the provision impacts the net financial position and cash flows equally.
With reference to multi-year contracts which, in some cases, require TIM to pay the counterparty fees by way of a guaranteed minimum, it should be noted that the valuation of such contracts and the estimation of the costs associated with them is subject to numerous uncertainties, including market dynamics, pronouncements of market regulatory authorities and the development of new technologies to support the service. These estimates are periodically revised on the basis of the final data to ensure that the forecast figure remains within reasonably foreseeable ranges. Not all factors mentioned are under the Company's control and could, therefore, have a significant impact on future forecasts about the performance of the contracts themselves, the estimated margins (positive or negative), and the cash flows that will be generated.

In order to provide a better understanding of the business's performance, organic economic and financial information relating to the operating performance in the first quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2023 of the business in the "ServiceCo" perimeter is presented below. Such organic like-for-like information is prepared by simulating the separation operation of the fixed network, with the creation of the NetCo component and the consequent definition of the ServiceCo perimeter, effective January 1, 2022. These figures should not be considered as a substitute for the economic and financial information of which they provide a different detail, are unaudited, are produced for explanatory purposes only, and may differ substantially from those that will be published in financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards.

At its meeting of July 6, 2022, TIM's Board of Directors approved the strategic objective of reorganizing the Company with the aim of leaving behind the Company's vertical integration.
In November 2023, the Board of Directors of TIM S.p.A., following an extensive and in-depth examination, conducted with the assistance of leading financial and legal advisors, examined and then accepted the binding offer submitted on October 16, 2023 by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") for the purchase of TIM's fixed network assets and the shareholdings held in FiberCop S.p.A. and Telenergia S.r.l. ("NetCo"), by Optics BidCo S.p.A. (a subsidiary of KKR).
In execution of the resolutions adopted, TIM S.p.A. has signed a transaction agreement with Optics BidCo that governs:
The transaction agreement provides that on the closing date, the master services agreements will be signed that will govern the terms and conditions of the services to be performed between NetCo and TIM S.p.A. following the completion of the Transaction.
The transaction agreement also provides that the consideration for the sale of the Shareholding could also be partially paid through the transfer of part of the TIM Group's debt on the closing of the NetCo transaction (socalled liability management).
In particular, the three "Exchange Offers" for the bonds issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A., launched on April 18, 2024, were completed on May 21, 2024 for a nominal value of 3,669,680,000 euros for the bonds issued by TIM S.p.A. and Telecom Italia Finance S.A., and for a nominal value of USD 2,000,011,000 for the bonds issued by Telecom Italia Capital S.A.. The new notes issued by the three companies will have substantially the same terms as the corresponding series of Original Notes, including insofar as their maturities, interest rates, interest payment dates and restrictive covenants. The exception will be in their Acquisition Exchange provisions and their minimum denomination provisions, where applicable. These will be traded on the Closing date by means of a mandatory automatic exchange of debt from the TIM Group to the counterparty, which will become the bond holder. For more details, see the press releases issued on April 18, 2024, May 2, 2024 and May 17, 2024.
The preparatory activities and conditions precedent that must be met for closing to occur include the completion of the contribution of the primary network, antitrust authorization (KKR notified the transaction to the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission on April 19, 2024), authorization surrounding distortive foreign subsidies and authorization under the Golden Power regulations (the latter was obtained in January 2024).
When the aforementioned assets are completed and the related conditions precedent are met, NetCo will be classified as an available-for-sale asset pursuant to IFRS 5.

(*) In accordance with the contract signed, the Banks have committed to make the funds available on demand (with at least 3 days' notice). As this is a "Committed" line, the banks have no mechanisms in place not to honor the request for funds made by the Company, without prejudice to the market standard early mandatory cancellation clauses (Natural contract expiry, Change in control, Borrower illegality, Events of default each as defined in the contract).
On April 4, 2024, TIM signed a bridge loan agreement for 1.5 billion euros, with a maturity of up to 18 months. The transaction is aimed at covering the refinancing needs up to the date of closing of the NetCo sale, and its conditions are in line with market benchmarks.
During the first quarter of 2024, bonds performed as follows:
| (millions in original currency) | Currency | Amount | Repayment date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repayments | |||
| Telecom Italia S.p.A. 450 million euros 3.625% | Euro | 450 | 1/19/2024 |
The nominal repayment amount, net of treasury security buybacks, of the bonds maturing in the 18 months following March 31, 2024 and issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A. (fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TIM S.p.A.) is 4,337 million euros, as detailed below:
The bonds issued by TIM S.p.A., Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom ltalia Capital S.A. do not contain financial covenants of any kind (e.g. Debt/EBITDA ratio, EBITDA/Interest, etc.) or clauses that would entail the automatic early repayment of loans in the event of non-insolvency events of the TIM Group; moreover, the repayment of bonds and the payment of interest are not backed by specific guarantees, nor are there any commitments to issue future guarantees, with the exception of the full and unconditional guarantees granted by TIM S.p.A. for bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A..
Since these are mainly transactions placed with institutional investors on the main global capital markets (Euromarket and USA), the terms governing the loans are in line with the market practice for similar transactions carried out on the same markets.
With reference to the loans taken out by TIM with the European Investment Bank ("EIB"), on May 19, 2021, TIM took out a loan for 230 million euro to support projects to promote digitalization in the country. In addition, on the same date, it expanded the financing taken out in 2019 (for an initial 350 million euros) by an additional 120 million euros. At present, these loans are partially secured.
In addition, on May 5, 2023, TIM took out a new loan with the EIB for 360 million euros, partially guaranteed by SACE.
As a result, as of March 31, 2024, the nominal outstanding loans taken out with the EIB totalled 1,060 million euros.
Loans taken out with the EIB contain the following covenants and commitments, among others:

Some TIM loan agreements contain financial covenants (e.g. Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/interest ratios, etc.), failure to comply with which would entail an obligation to repay the outstanding loan. These include the loan signed on July 6, 2022, which is backed by the "Italy Guarantee" (in accordance with art. 1, subsection 1 of Decree-Law no. 23 of April 8, 2020, as subsequently amended and supplemented).
The loan agreements contain the usual other types of covenants, including the commitment not to pledge the Company's assets as collateral for loans (negative pledge) and the commitment not to change the business purpose or sell the assets of the Company unless specific conditions exist (e.g. the sale takes place at fair market value). Covenants with basically the same content can be found in the export credit loan agreement.
In the loan agreements, TIM is required to provide notification of change of control. Events constituting a change of control and the applicable consequences – including, at the discretion of the investors, the establishment of guarantees or the early repayment of the amount paid in cash and the cancellation of the commitment in the absence of agreements to the contrary – are specifically identified in each agreement.
In addition, the outstanding loans generally contain a commitment by TIM, any breach of which constitutes an Event of Default, not to implement mergers, demergers or transfers of business, involving entities outside the Group, except where certain conditions exist. Such an Event of Default may entail, upon request of the Lender, the
early repayment of the drawn amounts and/or the annulment of the undrawn commitment.
The documentation of the loans granted to certain companies of the TIM Group generally contain obligations to comply with certain financial ratios, as well as the usual other covenants, under penalty of a request for the early repayment of the loan.
Finally, as at March 31, 2024, no covenant, negative pledge or other clause relating to the aforementioned debt position had in any way been breached or violated.

An overview of the most significant judicial, arbitration and tax disputes in which TIM Group companies are involved at March 31, 2024, as well as those that came to an end during the period is given below.
The TIM Group has posted liabilities totalling 379 million euros for those disputes described below where the risk of losing the case has been considered probable.
It should be noted that for some disputes described below, on the basis of the information available at the closing date of this Financial Disclosure and with particular reference to the complexity of the proceedings, to their progress, and to elements of uncertainty of a technical-trial nature, it was not possible to make a reliable estimate of the size and/or times of possible payments, if any. Moreover, in those cases in which disclosure of information about a dispute could seriously jeopardize the position of TIM or its subsidiaries, only the general nature of the dispute is described.
Lastly, as regards the proceedings with the Antitrust Authority, please note that based on Article 15, subsection 1 of Italian Law 287/1990 ("Antitrust Regulations"), the Authority has the right to impose an administrative sanction calculated on the turnover of the Group in cases of breaches considered serious.
With regard to the following disputes and legal actions, there were no significant events beyond those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report:
At March 31, 2024, companies belonging to the Brazil Business Unit were involved in tax or regulatory disputes, the outcome of which is estimated as a possible loss totalling around 19.4 billion reais (19.2 billion reais at December 31, 2023), corresponding to approximately 3.6 billion euros at March 31, 2024. The main types of litigation are listed below, classified according to the tax to which they refer.
In relation to the federal level of taxation, the following disputes should be noted:
Overall, the risk for these cases, considered to be possible, amounts to 3.1 billion reais (3.1 billion reais at December 31, 2023).
Within the scope of the state levy, there are numerous challenges regarding ICMS, and in particular:

Overall, the risk for these cases, considered to be possible, amounts to 10.6 billion reais (10.4 billion reais at December 31, 2023).
Among disputes classified with a "possible" degree of risk, there are some relating to municipal taxes for a total amounting to around 1.7 billion reais (around 1.7 billion reais at December 31, 2023).
The main challenges about contributions to the regulatory body (Anatel), and in particular in terms of FUST and FUNTTEL, concern whether or not interconnection revenues should be subject to these contributions.
Overall, the risk for these cases, considered to be possible, amounts to 4.0 billion reais (4.0 billion reais at December 31, 2023).
In June 2017 AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) started proceedings A514 against TIM, to ascertain a possible abuse of its dominant market position in breach of article 102 of the "Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union". The proceedings were started based on some complaints filed in May and June 2017, by Infratel, Enel, Open Fiber, Vodafone and Wind Tre, and concerns a presumed abuse of TIM's dominant position in the market for wholesale access services and for retail services using the Broadband and Ultrabroadband fixed network. In particular, the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) hypothesized that TIM had adopted conduct aimed at: (i) slowing and hindering the course of the Infratel tender processes so as to delay, or render less remunerative the entry of another operator in the wholesale market; (ii) pre-emptively securing customers on the retail market for Ultrabroadband services by means of commercial policies designed to restrict the space of customer contendibility remaining for the competitor operators.
After the start of the proceedings, the Authority's officials carried out an inspection at some of TIM's offices in the month of July 2017. On November 2, 2017, TIM filed a defence brief in which, in support of the correctness of its actions, it challenged all the arguments that the conduct it had allegedly engaged in, and which was the subject of the case, was unlawful.
On February 14, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to extend the scope of the case to investigate further behavior concerning TIM's wholesale pricing strategy on the market for wholesale access to Broadband and Ultrabroadband, and the use of the confidential information of customers of the alternative operators.
On July 5, 2018 TIM filed proposed undertakings which, if accepted by the Authority, would close the investigation without any offence being established or sanction being administered. The undertakings were considered as admissible by the Authority, that market tested them in August and September.
On October 30, 2018, TIM replied to observations made by third parties and modified its proposed undertakings. With its decision notified on December 4, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) once and for all rejected the proposed series of undertakings as it considered them unsuitable in light of the objections raised.
On March 4, 2019, TIM requested AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) for an extension of the deadline for closing the proceedings (initially set for May 31, 2019).
On April 10, 2019, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to extend the deadline for conclusion of the proceedings until September 30, 2019. On May 17, 2019, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) notified TIM of the results of the investigation (CRI). In the CRI, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) essentially confirmed the case for the prosecution outlined in the start-up and extension of the proceedings orders.
On June 12, 2019 AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) extended the deadline for deposit of TIM's final defence to September 20, 2019 and set the final hearing for September 25, 2019.

On September 18, 2019, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to further extend the deadline for conclusion of the proceedings, which were scheduled for February 28, 2020.
On March 6, 2020, TIM was notified of the decision to close the investigation: AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) ruled that TIM had abused its dominant position, finding that TIM had put in place an anticompetitive strategy designed to hinder the competitive development of investment in Ultrabroadband network infrastructure. The fine imposed on TIM for the anti-competitive offence is 116,099,937.60 euros.
On June 25, 2020 TIM sent AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) the so-called compliance report as ordered in the final provision.
In May 2021, the Company in any case paid the fine.
TIM appealed the aforementioned fine before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR). By judgment 1963/2022 of February 28, 2022, TIM's appeal was rejected; TIM has appealed to the Council of State against the decision of the regional administrative court.
In August 2022, Irideos notified a deed of intervention ad opponendum with respect to TIM's principal appeal.
The related hearing for oral discussion was scheduled for May 25, 2023. At the end of the hearing, the Council of State ordered a report from a court-appointed expert on three issues regarding the profitability of the investment in "white areas" with low population density. On October 11, 2023, the court-appointed experts were sworn-in in the Council of State and requested an extension to the completion deadlines. Under the new deadlines granted by the Council of State, the expert report should be filed by May 2024.
The case is set for a public hearing on October 10, 2024.
In March 2020, Open Fiber (OF) sued TIM before the Court of Milan, claiming damages of 1.5 billion euros for alleged abuse of an exclusive and dominant position in relation to OF. The alleged actions consist of: (i) preemptive investments in FTTC networks in white areas; (ii) initiating specious legal action to obstruct Infratel tenders; (iii) spurious repricing of certain wholesale services; (iv) commercial lock-in offers on the retail market; (v) false disclosure to AGCOM in connection with the approval of a wholesale offer and spreading rumors about TIM being interested in acquiring OF; (vi) discriminatory access conditions to TIM passive infrastructure. TIM filed an appearance, contesting the arguments of OF. Enel S.p.A. intervened in the proceedings, asking that TIM be ordered to compensate all damages suffered and being suffered by Enel and OF, without, however, quantifying such. During the course of proceedings, Open Fiber redetermined the damage allegedly suffered, taking it to 2.6 billion euros plus interest and monetary revaluation. Open Fiber has also clarified that it believes such damages are still to be suffered. Enel then quantified the damages allegedly suffered as approximately 228 million euros, plus interest. On October 19, 2022, the hearing was held for admission of the evidence, after which the judge reserved the right to deliberate. By order of July 17, 2023, the Court of Milan lifted the reservation and deferred the hearing for delivery of the verdict until April 3, 2024. At the hearing of April 3, the judge ordered that Court obtain the expert witness report rendered in the appeal proceedings brought by TIM before the Council of State against the unfavourable ruling of the Regional Administrative Court relating to fines imposed in relation to case A514. The case was then adjourned to be heard on June 12, 2024.
In June 2009, Eutelia and Voiceplus asked that alleged acts of abuse by TIM of its dominant position in the premium services market (based on the public offer of services provided through so-called Non Geographic Numbers) be investigated. The complainants quantified the total damages at approximately 730 million euros.
The case follows a precautionary procedure in which the Milan Appeal Court prohibited certain behaviours of the Company relating to the management of some financial relations with Eutelia and Voiceplus concerning the Non Geographic Numbers, for which TIM managed the payments from the end customers, on behalf of such OLOs and in the light of regulatory requirements. After the ruling of the Milan Court of Appeal accepting TIM's objections, declaring that it was not competent in this matter and referring the case to the Civil Court, Eutelia (in extraordinary administration) and Voiceplus (in liquidation) resubmitted the matter to the Court of Milan. The first hearing took place in March 2014. TIM filed an appearance challenging the claims of the other parties. After the collapse of Voiceplus, the Court of Milan declared the case suspended in an order in September 2015. The case was later resumed by Voiceplus.
In its judgment issued in February 2018, the Court of Milan accepted TIM's defence and rejected the plaintiffs' claim for compensation, ordering them, jointly and severally, to pay the legal costs. In March 2018, Eutelia and Voiceplus lodged an appeal against the judgment in the first instance.
TIM appealed against the claim, requesting confirmation in full of the judgment in the first instance. The appeal of Eutelia and Voiceplus was fully rejected with the judgment of August 5, 2019. In December 2019 Eutelia and Voiceplus appealed to the Court of Cassation against the judgment of the Court of Appeal. TIM notified a counterclaim asking confirmation of the ruling appealed against. The hearing in chambers was scheduled for February 16, 2023. At the hearing on February 16, 2023, at the request of the applicants, it was ordered that the case be heard in open court, with a hearing scheduled for June 12, 2024.
On February 19, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) initiated a I820 preliminary proceeding against the companies TIM, Vodafone, Fastweb, Wind Tre and the industry association ASSTEL to investigate the alleged existence of an agreement among the major fixed-line and mobile telephone operators to restrict competition by coordinating their respective commercial strategies, in breach of Art. 101 of the TFUE.
The presumed coordination, according to the opening provision of the proceedings by AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority), would take the form of the implementation of the obligation introduced by Article 19-

quinquiesdecies of Legislative Decree 148/2017 (converted by Law 172/2017) which requires operators of electronic communication services to send out monthly (or monthly multiples) bills and renewed offers for fixed and mobile services.
On March 21, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) issued a provisional precautionary measure against all the operators involved in the proceedings with which it ordered the suspension, pending the proceedings, of the implementation of the agreement concerning the determination of repricing communicated to users at the time of reformulating the billing cycle in compliance with Law 172/17 and to independently redetermine its commercial strategy. In its decision No. 27112 of April 11, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) confirmed the precautionary measure.
On June 12, 2018, TIM filed an appeal with the TAR for the quashing of said measure.
On January 31, 2020, TIM was notified of the decision to close the investigation, in which AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) confirmed the existence of the agreement between TIM, Vodafone, Fastweb, Wind Tre, but excluding Asstel from participation in the agreement. The fine imposed on TIM for participation in the anticompetitive agreement was 114,398,325 euros. In April 2020, TIM also challenged the fine order.
In a ruling published on July 12, 2021, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court upheld the petition and the grounds added and submitted by TIM, canceling the measures taken by AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority), including that relating to the existence of the agreement and application of the fine.
On September 11, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) presented a petition to the Council of State, requesting the cancellation of the judgment given by the regional administrative court.
On July 25, 2023, the Council of State reformed the decision of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, upholding the validity of AGCM's (the Italian Competition Authority) measure in Case I820 and referring to the Authority to redetermine the fine in view of the reduced duration of the infringement.
In view of the rulings of the Council of State on the quantum of the sanction, TIM – in a petition dated August 28, 2023 – asked the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) for the redetermination of the sanction to take place in full adversarial proceedings between the parties as part of a special investigation procedure.
In its order of September 26, 2023, served on the Company on October 3, 2023, the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) informed TIM that it had quantified the fine at 100,670,526.00 euros, holding that it had no margins for discretion in executing the judgment of the Council of State. On October 12, 2023, TIM filed an appeal to overturn the judgment of the Council of State and, on October 13, 2023, filed an appeal before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court to annul the measure redetermining the sanction; TIM also requested the precautionary suspension of the measure, but this was rejected by order of November 9, 2023. For both judgments a hearing on the merits has yet to be set.
In a communication dated December 6, 2023, the Authority urged TIM to pay the penalty of 100,670,526.00 euros plus legal interest accrued from November 3, 2023 until the day of actual payment amounting to 5,535,913.60 euros.
In a communication dated December 12, 2023, TIM contested the dueness of such interest due to the absence of the prerequisites of liquidity and collectability required by Article 1282 of the Italian Civil Code, as well as an error in identifying the start date for the calculation.
The Authority's Budget Office responded on February 2, 2024, acknowledging an error in the calculation of legal interest, which was therefore restated to the amount of 4,121,837.47 euros, but reiterating that the same is due.
On March 29, 2024, TIM lodged an appeal with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court against the communication from the Budget Office, contesting both the error in the calculation of the interest due and a defect in the competence of the Budget Office.
On July 6, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) started an investigation in regard to TIM and DAZN for a possible understanding reached with a view to restricting competition in connection with the agreement for the distribution and technological support for TV rights for Serie A football in the 2021-2024 period.
The investigation also aims to verify the restrictive nature of the understanding with reference to additional elements regarding the possible adoption by TIM of technical solutions not available for competitor telecommunications operators and which may effectively hinder the adoption of their own technological solutions.
At the same time, the Authority has also initiated proceedings for the potential adoption of protective measures.
By resolution passed on July 27, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) closed the interim proceedings, considering that the initiatives and amendments to the agreement proposed by TIM and DAZN in the meantime are presently able to prevent any serious and irreparable damage to competitors while investigations are completed.
Indeed, said measures aim, as a whole, to avoid possible discrimination in the use of the DAZN service, due to its activation by users using Internet connection services other than those offered by TIM. In addition, the agreement between TIM and DAZN has been amended to guarantee DAZN complete freedom in applying discounts and promotions. TIM has also undertaken to provide DAZN with a sufficient number of white label settop-boxes to also guarantee DAZN customers the viewing of matches over digital terrestrial TV, in the event of connection problems.

Finally, TIM has undertaken to supply wholesale services to OAOs interested therein to manage traffic peaks deriving from live data transmissions, regardless of the type of content transmitted.
On October 29, 2021 TIM submitted a proposal for undertakings to AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) with a view to resolving the competitive concerns that were the subject of the investigation and closing the proceedings without the finding of any infringement and therefore without any sanction being applied.
On December 14, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) approved the publication of the aforementioned proposal for undertakings on the Authority's website, as these undertakings, taken as a whole, do not appear to be manifestly unfounded and are capable of removing the restrictions to competition hypothesized in the measure initiating the investigation in question.
On January 5, 2022, with the publication on the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) website, market testing began.
The deadline for rebuttal arguments and proposing any accessory amendments to the commitments presented by TIM and DAZN is scheduled for March 7, 2022.
On February 23, 2022, TIM and DAZN were convened separately to the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) offices. During the hearing, the Offices informed TIM – and thereafter confirmed this in the hearing meetings – that in a hearing held on February 15, the Board deemed it necessary to make certain "accessory" changes in order to approve the commitments submitted.
On March 4, 2022, TIM and DAZN requested an extension of the deadline for the submission of observations, also in view of the new aspects that had emerged on February 23. The new deadline was set as March 23, 2022.
On March 22, 2022, TIM informed the Authority that the additional changes considered necessary by the Board to approve the commitments would have entailed a complete overhaul of the contents and economic balance of the agreements signed by TIM and DAZN, such as to make it no longer possible to pursue the hypothesized business model. At the same time, TIM informed the Authority of the start of negotiations with DAZN possibly concerning the revision of the distribution exclusivity clause, which was the main object of the Authority's investigation. Considering the complexity of negotiations, TIM requested an extension of another 30 days for submission of observations. The extension was authorized and the new deadline set as April 23, 2022.
On April 20, 2022, in consideration of the extension of negotiations, also due to the complexity and economic relevance of that being negotiated, DAZN and TIM requested an additional extension. The new deadline was set as May 9, 2022.
On May 9, 2022, TIM informed the Authority that it had declared willing to DAZN to waive the exclusivity of the distribution of Serie A football rights, as currently regulated by the Deal Memo, with DAZN consequently having the faculty to distribute such rights also through third party operators and that, in exchange for the willingness to waive this right, the Parties had begun negotiations for a review of the contracted economic commitment envisaged by TIM.
On June 7, 2022, the Authority ruled on the rejection of the commitments submitted, which "would appear, both where considered comprehensively and individually, to be unable to eliminate the anticompetitive aspects identified in the resolution that started the proceedings, insofar as they do not resolve the competition concerns highlighted in the initial proceedings, where not translated into shared contractual amendments such as to eliminate the critical competition issues" highlighted by the Authority.
Again on June 7, 2022, the Authority ruled on the deferral of the deadline for the conclusion of proceedings to March 31, 2023.
On August 2, 2022, TIM informed the Antitrust Authority that it had reached a new agreement with DAZN, under which the latter has the faculty to distribute football rights through any third party, surpassing the previous system of exclusivity in TIM's favor.
On January 20, 2023, notification was given of the investigation results (CRI).
AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) believes that the agreement reached on January 27, 2021 (the "Deal Memo") had contents and resulted in effects that reduced competition for its entire duration (and therefore until stipulation of the new agreement on August 3, 2022).
On January 31, 2023, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to extend the deadline for conclusion of the proceedings until May 31, 2023.
TIM filed its statement of defence March 28, 2023, and the final hearing with the Authority was held on April 4, 2023.
On April 18, 2023, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) decided to again extend the deadline for the conclusion of the proceedings to June 30, 2023, due to the complexity of the defence put forward by the Parties in their pleadings.
On June 28, 2023, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) ruled that the conduct of TIM and DAZN constitutes an agreement restricting competition in breach of Article 101 TFEU (the "AGCM Measure").
Yet the arrangement – in particular regarding exclusivity – only lasted for approximately one month and its potentially restrictive effects on competition were neutralized by the Authority's timely initiation of the investigation procedure on July 6, 2021.
Indeed, the precautionary sub-proceedings instigated at the start of the first football season of the three-year period 2021-2024 actually prevented the effects of the arrangement from occurring, as at the beginning of August 2021 TIM and DAZN discontinued the application of the disputed contractual clauses through their own voluntary action. The original agreement was then replaced by a new contract, entered into in August 2022, in

which any exclusivity was completely eliminated, thus rooting out the antitrust concerns about exclusivity of distribution.
Consequently, and in light of the mitigating circumstances recognized, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) imposed a fine of 760,776.82 euros on TIM and a fine of 7,240,250.84 euros on DAZN.
On September 20, 2023, TIM paid the fine with reservations in view of the appeal brought by the Company with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court against the decision against it.
On May 11, 2024, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court threw out the appeals of TIM and DAZN for the annulment of the AGCM Measure and, without annulling the AGCM Measure (which will therefore continue in effect until any amendment by the AGCM itself), declared that the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) has a duty to resume the measure in accordance with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court's ruling.
In a nutshell, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court has valued the following reason, which is common to the appeals of both Sky and Fastweb: According to the CRI, the prohibited agreement had market effects from January 27, 2021 to August 4, 2022, whereas the AGCM Measure reduced the duration of the violation from July 1, 2021 – when the marketing of the rights under Deal Memo commenced – up to the implementation of voluntary measures adopted by TIM and DAZN as part of the precautionary sub-proceedings at the beginning of August 2021. Therefore, the AGCM Measure appeared to contradict the investigation results (CRI), with the Board having failed to adequately justified its decision to depart from the preliminary findings. At this point, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) could reopen the investigation or appeal against the ruling of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court. The TIM are considering its options for taking action against the ruling of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, which could include an appeal.
By writ of summons brought before the Court of Milan and served in January 2024, operator Wind Tre S.p.A. requested that TIM S.p.A. and DAZN limited be ordered to compensate, jointly and severally, Wind Tre S.p.A. for the damage allegedly suffered by it as a result of the defendants' alleged violation of art. 102 of the TFEU (abuse of a dominant position) due to having signed a mutual agreement in January 2021 (the "Deal Memo") which – in the claimant's opinion – would result in damage quantifiable in 69,803,012.00 euros.
In addition, Wind Tre S.p.A. is requesting that TIM S.p.A. be ordered to pay 10,266,377.00 euros in compensation for the damage allegedly resulting from advertising campaigns which were intended, according to the claimant, to suggest to customers that subscribing to TIM's FTTH service, or subscribing to TIMVISION's offer, was the only way to access DAZN service content.
On April 29, 2024, TIM entered an appearance and counterclaim in which it called for Wind's claims to be thrown out and for the proceedings to be suspended pending the Lazio Regional Administrative Court's ruling on TIM and DAZN's application to annul the measure adopted by AGCM (the Italian Antitrust Authority) on June 28, 2023 (in which AGCM resolved that the conduct of TIM and DAZN in signing the Deal Memo constituted an agreement restricting competition). The first hearing has been set for July 8, 2024.
In May 2012, TIM and Telecom Italia International N.V. (now merged in Telecom Italia Finance) were served with a notice of arbitration proceedings brought by the Opportunity group, claiming compensation for damages allegedly suffered for presumed breach of a settlement agreement signed in 2005. Based on the claimant's allegations, the damages relate to circumstances that emerged in the criminal proceedings pending before the Milan Court regarding, inter alia, unlawful activities engaged in by former employees of TIM.
The investigatory phase having been completed, the hearing for oral discussion took place in November 2014, after which the parties filed their concluding arguments in preparation for the decision on the case.
In September 2015, the Board of Arbitration declared the proceedings closed, as the award was going to be filed.
In September 2016 the ICC Court notified the parties of its judgment, based on which the Court of Arbitration rejected all the claims made by the Opportunity group and decided that the legal costs, administrative costs and costs for expert witnesses should be split between the parties (the "2016 Arbitration Award").
In April 2017 the Opportunity group filed an appeal against the 2016 Arbitration Award before the Paris Court of Appeal.
In November 2017, TIM and Telecom Italia Finance received from the Secretariat of the ICC's International Court of Arbitration notice of a Request for Revision of the 2016 Arbitration Award, filed by the Opportunity group, asking for a new award. A Board of Arbitration was subsequently established.
In October 2018, TIM and Telecom Italia Finance requested proceedings with the Paris Court of Appeal to be suspended, in the light of proceedings pending with the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce to review the same 2016 Arbitration Award. In November 2018, the Paris Court of Appeal suspended the proceedings until the decision is taken by the Court of Arbitration in the review proceedings.
As regards the proceedings to review the 2016 Arbitration Award, in October 2019 the ICC held the discussion hearing in Paris. In August 2020, the Arbitration Court issued the award rejecting the Request for Revision presented by the Opportunity Group (the "2020 Arbitration Award").
In December 2020, the Opportunity group filed an appeal against the 2020 Arbitration Award before the Paris Court of Appeal. In May 2021 the Opportunity group asked the Paris Court of Appeal to summarize the proceedings brought against the 2016 Arbitration Award. Thereafter, the Opportunity Group, TIM and Telecom Italia Finance filed their briefs in the two proceedings pending before the Paris Court of Appeal, respectively

against the 2016 Arbitration Award and the 2020 Arbitration Award. The appeal proceedings were heard on January 8, 2024. In its decision of May 2, 2024, the Paris Court of Appeal quashed the 2016 Arbitration Award on the grounds that the Court considered one of the members sitting on the arbitration panel to be affected by a conflict of interest. In a separate decision issued on the same date, the Court invited the parties to submit observations, by June 24, 2024 at the latest, on the consequences that the quashing of the 2016 Arbitration Award may have in relation to the appeal against the 2020 Arbitration Award. Proceedings are still pending.
By writ of summons served during the first quarter of 2020, Iliad Italia S.p.A. sued TIM before the Court of Milan for alleged anti-competitive conduct, including through the Kena Mobile brand, which was allegedly aimed at hindering its entry to and consolidation in the mobile phone market in Italy, seeking damages of at least 71.4 million euros.
TIM filed an appearance, fully disputing the requests of Iliad Italia S.p.A.; and, in turn, submitting a counterclaim in accordance with Art. 2598 of the Italian Civil Code, with reference to the denigration implemented by Iliad Italia S.p.A. in regard to TIM and formulating a symmetrical claim for damages. In the first preliminary brief, Iliad updated its claim for damages, taking it to 242.8 million euros, and later to 292.8 million euros.
The proceedings ended in a judgment of September 25, 2023, which did not award Iliad any damages; TIM's counterclaim was declared inadmissible.
In its notice of appeal served on December 15, 2023, Iliad requested that the first-instance judgment be partially overturned, requesting, among other things, that TIM be ordered to pay full compensation of not less than 292.8 million euros for the pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage suffered by Iliad.
On April 17, 2024, TIM entered an appearance in court and lodged a counterappeal. At the hearing of May 8, 2024, the Judge reserved the right to decide on the preliminary requests.
By writ of summons served in July 2022, Iliad Italia S.p.A. summonsed Telecom, Vodafone and Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. ("INWIT") before the Court of Milan to assess the alleged unlawful conduct of INWIT, Telecom and Vodafone, consisting of refusal to allow Iliad to upgrade its mobile telephone transmission systems installed on INWIT-owned infrastructures. As a result of this conduct, Iliad has asked that Telecom be ordered, together with INWIT and Vodafone, to compensate the damages allegedly suffered, which it has reserved the right to quantify during the course of proceedings. The initial hearing took place on April 5, 2023, with the Judge reserving judgment on the objection as to the invalidity of the writ of summons brought by TIM. The initial hearing was deferred to October 11, 2023, following the admittance of the objection as to the invalidity of the writ of summons brought by TIM. At the hearing, the Judge set three dates for the exchange of pleadings between the parties: November 10, 2023, December 11, 2023, and January 2, 2024. The hearing for admission of evidence was scheduled for September 24, 2024.
On April 24, 2024, the hearing was heard before the Court of Review of Milan. The Court of Review was called upon to rule on the appeal lodged by TIM S.p.A. against the seizure order made against it by the investigating judge of the Court of Milan.
After hearing the case, the Court of Review upheld the appeal, entering a decision on April 26, 2024 which:
The reasoning for the decision will be announced in the next 30 days.
In particular, the events that led to the seizure by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office are summarized below.
On February 29, 2024, TIM S.p.A. had been notified of a seizure order issued on February 8, 2024 by the Judge for Preliminary Investigations of Milan, which had ordered the preventive seizure of the sums held in the current accounts in the Company's name, for a total amount of 248,941,282.30 euros.
The measure concerned an alleged computer fraud (Article 640-ter of the Criminal Code) in the field of the socalled "VAS" (i.e. Value Added Services) provided by third-party companies called CSPs (i.e. "Content Service Provider").
TIM S.p.A. is not under investigation in the proceedings in question, and that the offence in dispute is not among those that, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. No. 231 of 2001, could theoretically constitute a prerequisite for administrative offences, attributable to the Company.
With specific reference to TIM S.p.A., evidence of a possible fraudulent phenomenon in the sector emerged only in 2019, due to the significant number of disavowals of VAS services recorded in that year.
During that period, the Company reported these events to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome, in whose proceedings, currently being dismissed, the Company's role as a victim of the crime was confirmed.
In addition, the Company promptly carried out all the necessary actions aimed at neutralizing the phenomenon of illicit activations of VAS services.

With regard to "Arbitration case No. 28/2021/SEC8 - TIM S.A.", the following disputes and legal actions, there were no significant events beyond those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.
On December 15, 2023, TIM S.p.A. was served an ordinary writ of summons from the shareholder Vivendi, contesting the legitimacy of the board resolution of November 5, 2023 approving the sale of TIM's fixed network assets and the investments held in FiberCop S.p.A. and Telenergia S.r.l. ("NetCo") by Optics BidCo S.p.A. (a subsidiary of KKR). Vivendi did not make any application for precautionary injunction, nor did it request an urgent halt to executing the resolution and the consequent negotiations. The Company appeared in the proceedings to contest the merits of the arguments and requests made by Vivendi, confirming the legitimacy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and the agreements signed with Optics BidCo for the transaction, which will be carried out on time and in the manner envisaged.
At the first hearing held on May 21, 2024, after having made attempts at conciliation and proceeded with the oral discussion, the judge reserved the right to deliberate.
TIM has summoned the Prime Minister's Office to appear in a civil suit for compensation for damages caused by the Italian State through appeal ruling 7506/09, handed down by the Council of State in breach, in the view of the Company, of Community law.
The main claim which the proceedings are founded on is based on community jurisprudence that recognizes the right to assert the responsibility of the State in relation to violation of rights recognized in community law and injured by a judgment that has become definitive, in respect of which no other remedy may be applied. The judgment of the Council of State definitively denied TIM the right to obtain restitution of the concession charge for 1998 (totalling 386 million euros for Telecom Italia and 143 million euros for the former TIM Company, plus interest), already denied by the Lazio regional administrative court despite the favourable and binding opinion of the European Court of Justice in February 2008. This judgment concerned the conflict between EC Directive 97/13 on general authorizations and individual licenses in the telecommunications services industry, and the national regulations that had deferred, for 1998, the obligation to pay the fee payable by telecommunications concession holders, despite the intervening deregulation process. The Company then proposed an alternative compensation claim, within the sphere of the same proceedings, for tort pursuant to art. 2043 of the Italian Civil Code. The compensation claimed has been quantified as approximately 529 million euros, plus legal interest and revaluation. The Avvocatura di Stato filed an appearance and submitted a counterclaim for the same sum. The case is subject to eligibility analysis by the Court, which declared the inadmissibility of TIM's main claim (case for damages for manifest breach of community law pursuant to law 117/88). However, this decision was amended in favor of the Company on appeal. In March 2015 the Rome Court issued its judgment in the first instance, declaring the Company's application inadmissible.
In 2015, TIM has appealed the decision, and the case is now pending the hearing specifying the nature of the forms of order sought. The Court of Appeal has scheduled the hearing for closing arguments for April 2, 2019. Thereafter, without any new procedural activities having taken place, the Court of Appeal incontrovertibly deferred the hearing for closing arguments first to 2020 and then to 2021 (from when the terms for conclusion and replies shall run, which will be followed shortly thereafter by the issue of the judgment). These deferrals were followed by the latest, of January 15, 2021, scheduling the new hearing for January 25, 2022.
On the matters underlying the case, the following must be noted:
In short, the company paid the charges disputed in 1998; it promptly challenged the administrative provision that had unfairly required said payment, before the administrative court; the administrative proceedings before the Council of State concluded negatively in 2009 (despite the recalled opposite judgment of the European Court of Justice); the civil proceedings of first instance concluded in March 2015 with a judgment of rejection for grounds of admissibility (then solved in the sense indicated by the company with the referenced judgment of Cassation in United Chambers no. 14842/18) and more than 6 years after the first instance judgment – going from deferral to deferral – the appeal judgment (that could only uphold the mentioned judgments of the Court of Justice and the Court of Cassation) has not yet been issued (nor, on the basis of these repeated deferrals, can the company forecast when it will be given).

The company is examining the various scenarios and legal claims (national, European Community, etc.) that may contribute towards defining the appeal dispute. It is considered, in fact, that the principles of the reasonable duration of the trial, in accordance with subsection 2 of article 111 of the Constitution and in accordance with article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, are violated by these events, considering: (i) the year in which payment was made of the undue charges is 1998; (ii) the value of these charges is approximately 529 million euros plus interest from that date; (iii) the extremely long procedural process has not even led to an appeal judgment (started in 2015 and with an unpredictable conclusion, given the continuous deferrals); (iv) the circumstance that the legal matter appears to be readily able to be settled, as not one but two judgments have already been given by the EU Court of Justice declaring payment of the charges to be incompatible with European Community legislation (judgments that have currently been ignored by the national court).
As part of these analyses aimed at deciding the appeal, on January 25, 2021 the company filed a request with the Court of Appeal in Rome to bring forward the hearing (postponed as mentioned to January 25, 2022). This is to avoid the umpteenth adjournment of the case, which concerns the failure to comply with two inter-partes decisions rendered in the matter by the EU Court of Justice for a manifest violation of European law by the State-Judge. With a ruling on February 8, 2021, the Rome Court of Appeal (second section specializing in corporate matters) deemed it could grant the request for an advance ruling, setting the hearing for November 30, 2021. On that date the case was taken to decision with the assignment of the legal terms for closing statements and replies. By order of February 22, 2022, having acknowledged that one of its members had chosen to abstain, the Board re-submitted the case, arranging for the deeds to be sent onto the President of the Court of Appeal. On March 4, 2022, the case was reassigned to another judge. By judgment of March 31, 2022, the Board scheduled the hearing for December 1, 2022 for closing arguments. The Board deferred the case to the hearing of January 19, 2023 for verbal discussion. Following the request made by the State advocacy, the case was again deferred until March 9, 2023. At the hearing on December 13, 2023, the Board granted the parties time to submit their closing statements and replies.
In its judgment No. 2320/2024 entered on April 3, 2024, the Court of Appeal of Rome upheld the claim brought by the Company, thus overturning the judgment against TIM and ordering the Presidency of the Council of Ministers to pay 528,711,476 euros, adjusted for inflation and plus the statutory interest accrued since the date the appeal was files, with costs awarded to the Company in the amount of 550,000.00 euros plus ancillary charges.

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by the IFRS Accounting Standards, the TIM Group uses certain alternative performance measures in its internal presentations (business plan) and in external presentations (to analysts and investors) for the purposes of enabling a better understanding of the performance of its operations and its financial position. These measures in fact represent a useful unit of measurement for assessing the operating performance of the Group (as a whole and at Business Unit level).
Such measures, which are presented in the periodical financial reports (annual and interim), should, however, not be considered as a substitute for those required by the IFRS Accounting Standards. As these measurements are not defined by the IFRS Accounting Standards, their calculation may differ from the alternative indicators published by other companies. This is why comparability between companies may be limited.
The alternative performance measures normally used are described below:
■ EBITDA: this measure is used by TIM as the financial target, in addition to the EBIT. These measures are calculated as follows:
+/- Share of losses (profits) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method
EBITDA – Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, capital gains (losses) and impairment reversals (losses) on non-current assets
To provide a better representation of the true performance of Net Financial Debt, in addition to the usual indicator (renamed "Net financial debt carrying amount"), the TIM Group reports a measure called "Adjusted net financial debt", which neutralizes the effects caused by the volatility of financial markets. Given that some components of the fair value measurement of derivatives (contracts for setting the exchange and interest rate for contractual flows) and of derivatives embedded in other financial instruments do not result in actual monetary settlement, the Adjusted net financial debt excludes these purely accounting and non-monetary effects (including the effects of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement) from the measurement of derivatives and related financial assets/liabilities.

| B) | Financial assets |
| C=(A - B) | Net financial debt carrying amount |
| D) | Reversal of fair value measurement of derivatives and related financial liabilities/assets |
| E=(C + D) | Adjusted Net Financial Debt |
■ Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF): this financial measure represents the free cash flow available for the remuneration of own capital, to repay debt and to cover any financial investments and payments of licenses and frequencies. In particular, the indicator highlights the change in adjusted net financial debt without considering the impacts of payment of dividends, changes in equity, acquisitions/disposals of equity investments, outlay for the purchase of licenses and frequencies, increases/decreases of finance lease liabilities payable (new lease operations, renewals and/or extensions, cancellations/early extinguishing of leases).
The Equity Free Cash Flow measure is calculated as follows:
Operating Free Cash Flow and Operating Free Cash Flow (net of licenses) are calculated as follows:
Operating Free Cash Flow (net of licenses)
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group presents the following additional alternative performance measures:
This measure is a useful indicator of the ability to generate Free Cash Flow.
