SPECIAL MEETING OF SAVINGS SHAREHOLDERS

28 June 2022, 3.00 p.m. Rozzano (Milan), Viale Toscana no.3

REPORT OF THE COMMON REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SAVINGS SHAREHOLDERS

With a call notice published, in accordance with the law, on 26 and 27 May 2022, the Common Representative Dario Trevisan, Lawyer, convened the special meeting of the TIM S.p.A. ("TIM" and/or "Company") savings shareholders in a single call, for 28 June 2022 at 3.00 p.m., to discuss and resolve on the following items on the agenda:

  1. "Statement on the fund set up for the expenses necessary for protecting the common interests"

2. "Appointment of the Common Representative; related and consequent resolutions"

In relation to the matters under discussion, the Common Representative deemed it necessary to draw up this report in the interest of the category represented, which summarises the activities carried out within the scope of his office and the expenses incurred and to be incurred in connection with the Common Fund pursuant to Article 146, paragraph I, Legislative Decree No. 58/98, subject to any further action to be taken at the shareholders' meeting.

** *** **

1. Statement on the fund set up for the expenses necessary for protecting the common interests;

In relation to the first item on the agenda, in the three-year period 2019-2021 the Common Representative represented and promoted the category's interests. In particular, among other things, he:

  • maintained constant contact with the Company's savings shareholders;

  • maintained constant contact with the Company and its top management, interacting with them in the interest of the category represented;

  • analysed the information received from the Company, including that on management and the activities and transactions carried out by the Company in accordance with the law and Bylaws;
  • attended the Company's shareholders' meetings, in particular the ordinary shareholders' meeting held on 29 March 2019, the special shareholders' meeting held on 24 May 2019, the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on 23 April 2020, the ordinary shareholders' meeting held on 31 March 2021, the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on 7 April 2022, and will attend the special shareholders' meeting on 28 June 2022.

As of the date of this Report, the Common Fund - which on 2 May 2019 (the date on which the Common Representative presented the report at the end of his appointment for the three-year period 2016 – 2018) amounted to € 1,830,034.89 - has been used to protect the interests of TIM's savings shareholders only to a minimal extent. The expenses incurred will be highlighted below, noting that the fund will still fully cover any future expenses that may be necessary.

It is appropriate here to recall that which was reported by the Common Representative at the end of the previous three-year term of office with regard to the legal dispute brought by TIM in connection with the use of the Common Fund, and then to provide an update on this.

In this regard, reference is made to that which was extensively illustrated in the previous Report of the Common Representative of 2 May 2019 concerning the special meeting of 24 May 2019 with regard to the dispute that arose against Mr Dario Romano Radaelli. In this regard, it should be noted that, most recently, with judgement No. 2642/2019, the Milan Court of Appeal partially upheld the appeal filed by TIM and the Common Representative, acknowledging the invalidity of the resolution of the former savings shareholders of Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. as regards the part where Mr. Radaelli was awarded compensation for the period following the merger, as his role as Common Representative had ceased due to the merger. At the same time, the Court of Appeal, not ruling on the merits, did not uphold the appeal against the part of the resolution pertaining to the integration of the Common Fund, as it considered that TIM did not have the capacity to sue because, as a result of the merger, it was no longer a shareholder of Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. The litigation costs at both instances were offset between the parties.

In February 2020, this judgement was challenged independently by TIM, the Common Representative and Mr Radaelli, with regard to the parts which saw them as losing parties respectively, before the Court of Cassation. The Common Representative, in addition to submitting said appeal, also filed an appearance, contesting the action brought by Mr Radaelli. At present, the proceedings are pending.

With regard to the expenses taken from the Common Fund for the aforesaid dispute, TIM's special shareholders' meeting of 24 May 2019 approved the fees of the lawyers who assisted the Common Representative in the first two instances, agreed, in line with judicial fees, as €25,000.00 and €30,000.00, respectively, plus overheads and legal charges. These were deducted from the Common Fund over the last three years of office. In addition, as the Common Representative had to appeal against the second instance ruling and file an appearance in the action brought by Mr Radaelli, he conferred a professional mandate for that purpose on Mr Massimo Chiaia, whose fees were set at an amount not to exceed €30,000.00 plus overheads and legal charges. This amount has not yet been paid and deducted from the Common Fund. It should also be noted that the Common Representative contributed professionally to this dispute, carrying out, from a purely juridical perspective, the necessary further investigations and assessments for which no expenses were incurred to be claimed from the Common Fund, as in this case too he availed himself of the collaboration of professionals from his own chambers.

Last but not least, the Common Representative held talks with numerous category shareholders and the top management of the Company in connection with recent events between 2021 and 2022 that affected the latter, without incurring any expenses for the Common Fund, whereas for previous meetings with the top management, out-ofpocket expenses of €1,516.71 were incurred over the three-year period, which have already been deducted from the Common Fund.

Given the above, the amount remaining in the Common Fund at 31 December 2021 (excluding, for the moment, the (former) Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. component) stands at €1,762.738.18, and this amount – even after deducting the professional fees of the lawyer appointed to defend the company at the Court of Cassation and any outof-pocket expenses incurred – will still be sufficient to cover any future expenses necessary to protect the common interests of the category, given, moreover, that the remuneration of the Common Representative, under Bylaw provisions, is payable by TIM.

In light of the above, the Common Representative, in presenting his account of the matter, would ask the special shareholders' meeting to express itself in favour of its approval.

** *** **

2. Appointment of the Common Representative; related and consequent resolutions

With reference to the second item on the agenda, regarding the appointment of the new Common Representative, determining the term of office and related remuneration, it should be noted that the special shareholders' meeting on 24 May 2019 established the term of office as three financial years, and the annual remuneration payable for the office at €36,000. The mandate of the Common Representative expired with the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2021, and therefore a new Common Representative must be appointed.

The special shareholders' meeting is therefore called today to resolve on the appointment of the Common Representative for the three year period 2022 - 2024 by a majority of those present, irrespective of the part of the capital of the category that is represented by the shareholders present. To this end it should be noted that, pursuant to article 2417 of the Italian Civil Code, as referenced by article 147 of Legislative Decree 58/1998, the Common Representative may also be chosen from among nonshareholders, legal entities authorised to provide investment services and trust companies. The maximum term of office may not exceed three financial years.

Given that some category shareholders have expressed their intention to support the appointment of the undersigned to cover the same role also for the next three year period, the latter declares that he is willing to accept renewal of the appointment for the three year period 2022 - 2024 and in any event until the approval of the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2024, maintaining the annual compensation unchanged, in the terms set out above. In order to provide shareholders wishing to support this renewal with full information, a curriculum vitae and declaration of acceptance are attached to this report.

Cordially yours,

Milan, 26 May 2022

Mr Dario Trevisan
