TIM GROUP – RECLASSIFIED STATEMENTS

The reclassified Separate Consolidated Income Statements, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity as well as the Consolidated Net Financial Debt of the TIM Group, herewith presented, are consistent with the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Financial Report and in the Half-Year Financial Report. Such statements were not audited by the audit firm.

The accounting policies and consolidation principles adopted are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021, to which reference should be made, except for the amendments to the standards issued by the IASB and in force as of January 1, 2022.

As described in the 2021 TIM Group Consolidated Financial Statements, during the fourth quarter of 2021, TIM refined some aspects of the booking of certain commercial agreements concerning the sale of goods with deferred delivery. This refinement entailed, for the first, second and third quarters of 2021, the redetermination of the distribution over time of revenues and acquisition of goods and services. In connection with the foregoing, the economic data of the first nine months and the third quarter of 2021 has been recalculated, shown here for comparison purposes.

TIM GROUP - DOMESTIC - 2022- 2024 INDUSTRIAL PLAN: INFORMATION ON THE NEW ENTITIES

The TIM Group operating segments reported in the Financial reporting at September 30, 2022, in line with and continuing on from the information given in the Consolidated Annual Financial Report at December 31, 2021, are represented for the part relative to the telecommunications business, on the basis of the related geographic location (Domestic and Brazil).

The TIM Group 2022-2024 Industrial Plan launched a Group transformation aiming to overcome the vertically integrated model, based on four separate entities with different industrial and economic focuses (NetCo, TIM Consumer, TIM Enterprise and TIM Brasil). These entities cannot today be considered an "operating segment" in accordance with IFRS 8 - Operating segments, insofar as on the one hand, the new entities are still in an analytical design phase and do not, therefore, have analytical economic-financial information available and, on the other, in 2022, the TIM Board of Directors is making decisions on the allocation of resources and assessing the economic-financial performance on both the basis of the historic representation of the business units and, insofar as available, the new entities being created.

The financial information of the new entities presented below has therefore been prepared by TIM management for information and explanatory purposes only; it has not been verified by any independent third parties and, therefore, should not be considered complete and comprehensive. The accounting and consolidation principles applied are consistent with those applied for the TIM Group Annual Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021, to which reference should be made, except for the changes to the accounting standards issued by the IASB and adopted as of January 1, 2022.

During the first nine months of 2022, the entities of the domestic area defined by the TIM Group 2022-2024 Industrial Plan achieved the following operative performance in organic terms:

NetCo			TIM Enterprise			TIM Consumer
(million euros)	9 months to 9/30/2022	9 months to 9/30/2021	Changes %	9 months to 9/30/2022	9 months to 9/30/2021	Changes %	9 months to 9/30/2022	9 months to 9/30/2021	Changes %

In particular:

• NetCo: includes the primary and secondary fixed network, as well as the domestic and international (Sparkle) wholesale businesses;
• TIM Enterprise: includes all the commercial activities in the Enterprise market, the digital companies Noovle, Olivetti and Telsy and the assets relating to the data centers;
• TIM Consumer: covers all the fixed and mobile commercial activities in the Consumer and Small and Medium Business (SMB) retail market. It also includes the mobile network assets and service platforms.

TIM GROUP - DEBT STRUCTURE, BOND ISSUES AND MATURING BONDS

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

The following table shows committed(*) credit lines available at September 30, 2022:

	Agreed Drawn down		Agreed	Drawn down

Total	4.0	—	4.0	—

(*) Under the current agreement, banks are committed to provide funds at request of the Borrower (with at least 3 days notice). Being a Committed Facility, banks must release requested funds unless a market standard mandatory cancelation provisions has been triggered (Final Maturity, Change of Control, Borrower Illegality, and Events of default).

On July 6, 2022, TIM stipulated a new loan with a pool of leading international banks, which benefits from the "Italy Guarantee" (in accordance with art. 1, subsection 1 of Decree-Law no. 23 of April 8, 2020 as subsequently amended and supplemented) for an amount of 2 billion euros.

Bonds

The change in bonds in the first nine months of 2022 was as follows:

(millions of original currency)	Currency	Amount	Repayment date
Repayments
Telecom Italia S.p.A. 2002-2022 reserved for subscription by employees	Euro	214	1/1/2022
Telecom Italia S.p.A. 1,250 million euros 5.25% (1)	Euro	884	2/10/2022
Telecom Italia S.p.A. 2,000 million euros 1.125% Convertible bond	Euro	2,000	3/26/2022

(1)Net of buy-backs totaling 366 million euros made by the company in 2015.

The nominal amount of repayment, net of the Group's bonds buyback, related to the bonds maturing in the following 18 months as of September 30, 2022 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.) totals 3,175 million euros. With the following detail:

• 1,000 million euros, due January 16, 2023;
• 425 million euros, due May 19, 2023;
• 1,000 million euros, due July 19, 2023;
• 750 million euros, due January 19, 2024.

Bonds issued by the TIM Group do not contain financial covenants (e.g. ratios such as Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/ Interest, etc.) or clauses that result in the automatic early redemption of the bonds in relation to events other than the insolvency of the TIM Group; furthermore, the repayment of the bonds and the payment of interest are not covered by specific guarantees nor are there commitments provided relative to the assumption of future guarantees, except for the full and unconditional guarantees provided by TIM S.p.A. for the bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A..

Since the bonds were placed principally with institutional investors in major world capital markets (Euromarket and the U.S.A.), the terms which regulate the bonds are in line with market practice for similar transactions effected on these same markets. Consequently, they carry negative pledges, such as, for example, the commitment not to pledge the company's assets as collateral for loans.

Regarding loans taken out by TIM S.p.A. from the European Investment Bank (EIB), on May 19, 2021, TIM entered into a new loan for an amount of 230 million euros, in support of projects to digitize the country. In addition, it has extended the loan signed in 2019 for an amount of 120 million euros. Therefore, at September 30, 2022 the nominal total of outstanding loans with the EIB was 1,200 million euros, all drawn down and not backed by bank guarantee.

The three EIB loans signed on December 14, 2015, November 25, 2019 and May 19, 2021 contain the following covenants:

■ in the event the company becomes the target of a merger, demerger or conferral of a business segment outside the Group, or sells, disposes of or transfers assets or business segments (except in certain cases, expressly provided for), it shall immediately inform the EIB which shall have the right to ask for guarantees to be provided or changes to be made to the loan contract, or, only for certain loan agreements, the EIB shall have the option to demand the immediate repayment of the loan (should the merger, demerger or contribution of a business segment outside the Group compromise the Project execution or cause a prejudice to EIB in its capacity as creditor);

• TIM undertook to ensure that, for the entire duration of the loan, the total financial debt of the Group companies other than TIM S.p.A. – except for the cases when that debt is fully and irrevocably secured by TIM S.p.A. – is lower than 35% (thirty-five percent) of the Group's total financial debt;
• "Inclusion clause", under which, in the event TIM commits to uphold financial covenants in other loan contracts (and even more restrictive clauses, including, for instance, cross default clauses and commitments restricting the sale of goods) that are not present in or are stricter than those granted to the EIB, the EIB will have the right – if, in its reasonable opinion, it considers that such changes may have a negative impact on TIM's financial capacity – to request the provision of guarantees or an amendment of the loan contract in order to establish an equivalent provision in favor of the EIB;
• "Network Event", under which, in the event of the disposal of the entire fixed network or of a substantial part of it (in any case, more than half in quantitative terms) to third parties not controlled by the Company, or in the event of disposal of the controlling interest in the company in which the network or a substantial part of it has previously been transferred, TIM must immediately inform the EIB, which may then opt to demand collateral or an amendment of the loan agreement or choose an alternative solution.

The TIM S.p.A. loan agreements do not contain any financial covenants (e.g. Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/ interest ratios, etc.), failure to comply with which would entail an obligation to repay the loan in place, with the exception of the loan signed on July 06, 2022, which is backed by the "Italy Guarantee" (in accordance with art. 1, subsection 1 of Decree-Law no. 23 of April 08, 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 and the bonds, TIM is required to provide notification of change of control. Identification of the occurrence of 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 or as shares and the cancellation of the commitment in the absence of agreements to the contrary – are specifically covered in the individual agreements.

In addition, the outstanding loans generally contain a commitment by TIM, whose breach is an Event of Default, not to implement mergers, demergers or transfers of business, involving entities outside the Group. Such an Event of Default may entail, upon request of the Lender, the early redemption 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 September 30, 2022, no covenant, negative pledge or other clause relating to the aforementioned debt position had in any way been breached or violated.

TIM GROUP - DISPUTES AND PENDING LEGAL ACTIONS

The most significant arbitration cases and legal and fiscal disputes TIM Group companies are involved in as of September 30, 2022, including those closed during the period, are described below.

The TIM Group has posted liabilities totaling 276 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 the Financial Information at September 30, 2022, 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 on 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, paragraph 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.

a) Significant disputes and pending legal actions

No significant events occurred for the following disputes and legal actions compared to what was published in the 2021 Annual Financial Report:

• Antitrust Case A428;
• Eutelia and Voiceplus;
• Poste;
• Elinet S.p.A. Bankruptcy.

International tax and regulatory disputes

As of September 30, 2022, the companies forming the Brazil Business Unit were involved in tax or regulatory disputes, the outcome of which is estimated as a possible loss totaling around 17.5 billion reais (16.3 billion reais at December 31, 2021). The main types of litigation are listed below, classified according to the tax to which they refer.

Federal taxes

In relation to the federal level of taxation, the following disputes should be noted:

• disallowance of the tax effects of the merger between the companies of the TIM Brasil Group;
• denial of the SUDENE regional tax benefit, due to alleged irregularities in the management and reporting of the benefit itself;
• challenges regarding offsetting against previous tax losses;
• further challenges regarding the tax deductibility of the amortization of goodwill;
• imposition of income tax on certain types of exchange rate differences;
• imposition of withholding taxes on certain types of payments to foreign entities (for example, payments for international roaming);
• further challenges regarding offsets made between taxes payable and group company credit positions.

Overall, the risk for these cases, considered to be possible, amounts to 3.3 billion reais (3.1 billion reais at December 31, 2021).

State taxes

Within the scope of the state levy, there are numerous challenges regarding ICMS, and in particular:

• challenges concerning the reduction of the tax base due to discounts granted to customers, as well as challenges regarding the use of tax credits declared by group companies, with respect to the return of loaned telephone handsets, and following the detection of contract frauds to the detriment of the companies;
• subjection of some fees owed to group companies and classified by them as fees for services other than telecommunications to ICMS;
• challenges over the use of the "PRO-DF" tax benefit originally granted by some States, and subsequently declared unconstitutional (the challenge refers to the actual credit due to ICMS, declared by the TIM Cellular, now incorporated into TIM S.A., on the basis of the aforementioned tax benefits);

• challenges relating to the use of ICMS credits claimed by Group companies as a result of the acquisition of tangible assets, and in relation to the supply of electricity to the companies, as well as in application of the provisions on acting as a withholding agent;

• fines imposed on group companies for irregularities in tax return compliance;

• challenges of ICMS credits in relation to acting as a withholding agent, applicable when equipment is bought and distributed in different States;
• challenges of ICMS credits deriving from the "special credit" recognized by the company to its prepaid customers, against subsequent top-ups.

Overall, the risk for these cases, considered to be possible, amounts to 9.3 billion reais (8.8 billion reais at December 31, 2021).

Municipal taxes

Among disputes classified with a "possible" degree of risk, there are some relating to municipal taxes for a total amounting to around 1.4 billion reais (around 1.2 billion reais at December 31, 2021).

FUST and FUNTTEL

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 3.5 billion reais (3.2 billion reais at December 31, 2021).

Golden Power Case

In August 2017 the Prime Minister's office brought proceedings against TIM (as well as Vivendi) in order to verify the fact that TIM has an obligation to notify, pursuant to the "Golden Power" law, Vivendi's acquisition of corporate control of TIM and the strategic assets it holds. In September 2017, the proceedings in question concluded by affirming that this obligation did exist for TIM with effect from May 4, 2017 (the date of the Shareholders' Meeting that renewed TIM's corporate boards).

As a result of this decision by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, new and separate administrative proceedings started for the imposition on TIM of the financial penalty laid down by the Golden Power law for non-compliance with the aforementioned obligation to notify. These proceedings ended on May 8, 2018 with the imposition of a financial penalty of 74.3 million euros.

The Company, is convinced that it has the legal arguments to demonstrate that it was under no obligation to notify the control exercised over it by Vivendi, filed separate extraordinary appeals to the President of the Republic to request the abrogation of the order of September 2017 and before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) against the aforementioned order of May 8, 2018, which imposed a financial penalty, requesting its precautionary suspension. As regards the appeal to the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) against the provision of May 8, 2018, which imposed the financial penalty, the TAR, in upholding in July 2018 the interim petition lodged by the Company, has suspended payment of the penalty. Subsequently, with a non-definitive ruling in May 2019, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR): (i) accepted TIM's request for provisional measures to suspend the fine conditional on the offer of the guarantee; (ii) granted the suspension of the procedure to wait for the final judgment in the (injurious) case pending before the President of the Republic regarding the notification obligation, pursuant to the Golden Power provisions; (iii) rejected the procedural objections raised by the defendant administrations.

It should also be noted that in May 2018 a guarantee bond for 74.3 million euros was issued in favor of the Presidency of the Council. TIM had been requested to submit such a bond for its application to Lazio TAR for precautionary suspension of the collection of the fine imposed for alleged breach of Art. 2 of Decree Law 21 of March 15, 2012 (the "Golden Power" law). This surety was renewed in May 2021.

Furthermore, TIM appealed before the Lazio TAR and then appealed before the Council of State against the provision with which Consob, on September 13, 2017, affirmed Vivendi's control over TIM. In December 2020, the Council of State issued a final judgment upholding TIM's appeal and canceling the provision by Consob, a significant premise to the entire subsequent proceedings of the Presidency of the Council in relation to the obligation to Golden Power notification as described above. On June 14, 2021, Consob submitted an extraordinary appeal to the Court of Cassation on grounds of jurisdiction; TIM filed an appearance, objecting that the appeal is unlawful and inadmissible. The hearing in chambers was held on October 11, 2022.

Colt Technology Services - A428

With writ of summons before the Milan Court served in August 2015, the operator Colt Technology Services filed a damages claim based on the A428 decision, requesting compensation for alleged damages suffered from 2009 to 2011 as a result of purportedly inefficient and discriminatory conduct by TIM in the wholesale service supply process. The damage claimed was quantified as 27 million euros in loss of profits for the alleged non-acquisition of new customers, or for the alleged impossibility of supplying new services to the customers it had already acquired; the other party also formulated a request for compensation for the damages to its image and commercial reputation. This case follows the extrajudicial claim for approximately 23 million euros, previously advanced by Colt in June 2015, which the Company rejected in its entirety. TIM filed an appearance, contesting all of the plaintiff's allegations. The hearing for discussion before the Regional Administrative Court has been scheduled for December 12, 2022.

COMM 3000 S.p.A. (formerly KPNQWest Italia S.p.A.) - A428

With writ of summons before the Rome Court, COMM 3000 S.p.A.(formerly KPNQWest Italia S.p.A.) filed a damages claim for a total of 37 million euros in compensation for alleged anticompetitive and abusive conduct over the period 2009–2011, in the form of technical boycotting (refusals to activate wholesale services – KOs); the claim was based on the contents of the decision of AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) that settled the A428 case. TIM filed an appearance, contesting all of the plaintiff's allegations. In the judgment with ruling in April 2019, the Court of Rome partially received the petitions of COMM 3000 S.p.A. (formerly KPNQWest Italia S.p.A.), sentencing TIM to pay an amount significantly lower than the amount in the counterparty's damages claim. In June 2019, TIM appealed against the judgment. In the judgment given in April 2021, the Court of

Appeal of Rome partly upheld TIM's appeal, reducing the amount of the compensation due to COMM 3000, which was in any case entirely covered by the relevant provision. In November 2021, TIM has appealed to the Court of Cassation over the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Rome in. The hearing for discussion before the Regional Administrative Court has been scheduled for December 12, 2022.

Teleunit

With a writ of summons issued in October 2009 before the Milan Appeal Court, Teleunit asked that TIM alleged acts of abuse of its dominant position in the premium services market be ascertained. The plaintiff quantified its damages at a total of approximately 362 million euros. TIM filed an appearance, contesting the claims of the other party.

After the ruling of January 2014 with which the Court of Appeal declared that it was not competent in this matter and referred the case to the Court, Teleunit reinstated the case before the Milan Court the following April. TIM filed an appearance in the reinstated proceedings challenging the plaintiff's claims.

In its judgment of May 2017, the Milan Court rejected Teleunit's claim in its entirety, and ordered the company to pay the legal costs of the case. This judgment was appealed by Teleunit, in June 2017, before the Milan Court of Appeal. TIM filed an appeal challenging the arguments presented by the other party and asking that the judgment in the first instance be fully confirmed. With an order in March 2018 the Milan Court of Appeal declared Teleunit's appeal pursuant to art. 348-bis of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure to be manifestly without foundation, and hence inadmissible. In May 2018 Teleunit appealed the judgment of the Court of Appeal to the Court of Cassation. TIM lodged a counter-appeal seeking confirmation in full of the order being appealed (and thus of the judgment at first instance). The hearing was held in chambers on September 22, 2022. By order published on October 19, 2022, the Court of Cassation declared the petition lodged by Teleunit Ltd inadmissible, ordering it to pay the costs of the dispute to TIM.

Eutelia and Clouditalia Telecomunicazioni

With a writ of summons dated May 2020, Eutelia in Extraordinary Administration and Clouditalia Telecomunicazioni S.p.A., purchaser of Eutelia's TLC branch, brought an action against TIM before the Court of Rome, making claims for damages, of around 40 million euros, for damages allegedly suffered, in the period 2009-2012, following the technical boycott and margin squeeze conduct, subject of the AGCM A428 procedure. TIM filed an appearance, contesting the claims made by the opposing party and formulating a counterclaim, subject to quantification of the damages incurred during the proceedings. On April 1, 2022, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) deposited the opinion envisaged by Art. 14, third subsection of Italian Legislative Decree 3/2017, whereby it: (i) proposed certain benchmarks for use to define the counterfactual scenario on which basis to quantify the damages allegedly suffered by Eutelia and Clouditalia; (ii) provided some additional indication and criteria to estimate the various damage items demanded by Eutelia and Clouditalia. At the hearing held on June 15, 2022, the Investigating Judge assigned time to the parties until July 8, 2022, by which to deposit written notes on the implications of the opinion of the AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) and the contents of any queries to be raised with the court appointed expert. On October 24, the judge lifted the reservation and ordered an expert report on the an of TIM's conduct and the quantum of any damages suffered by Eutelia and Irideos as a result of such. The hearing was therefore scheduled for November 15, 2022 for the swearing in and conferral of the appointment on the expert.

Antitrust Case A514

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) hypothesised 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 defense 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 offense 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 defense to September 20, 2019 and set the final hearing for September 25, 2019.

On September 18, 2019, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to extend the deadline for conclusion of the proceedings until 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 offense is 116,099,937.60 euros. TIM appealed the aforementioned fine before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR). By judgment given on February 28, 2022, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court rejected TIM's petition; TIM now intends to lodge an appeal with the Council of State by the legal deadline.

On June 25, 2020 TIM sent AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) the so-called compliance report as ordered in the final provision. The hearing before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court was held on November 3, 2021. By judgment 1963/2022, TIM's appeal was rejected; TIM has appealed against the decision of the regional administrative court. In August 2022, Irideos notified a deed of intervention ad opponendum. The related hearing for discussion has not yet been scheduled.

In May 2021, the Company paid the fine.

Open Fiber

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 has quantified the damages allegedly suffered as 228 million euros, plus interest. Terms are pending for the submission of the third preliminary brief. On October 19, 2022, the hearing was held for admission of the evidence, after which the judge reserved the right to deliberate.

Irideos

In January 2022, Irideos summonsed TIM to the Court of Rome, making a claim for damages allegedly suffered as a consequence of the unlawful conduct of TIM, as sanctioned by AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority), with the provision that concluded proc. A514 ("follow-on claim"). The compensation claim comes to 23,204,079.87 euros for damages caused by the anti-competitive behavior of TIM from 2017 to 2019 (with effects also in subsequent years) on the market for services of wholesale access to the Broadband and Ultrabroadband fixed network (the "wholesale market") and on the market for retail telecommunications services on the broadband and Ultrabroadband fixed network (the "retail market"). TIM filed an appearance, contesting the opposing party's arguments. At the hearing held on June 1, 2022, the investigating judge (i) assigned the parties time for depositing the briefs with terms running from February 15, 2023 and (ii) deferred the case to the hearing of June 7, 2023.

Antitrust Case I799

At its meeting on February 1, 2017, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) initiated an investigation for possible breach of Article 101 of the TFEU (prohibition of agreements that restrict competition) against TIM S.p.A. and Fastweb S.p.A., following the signing of an agreement aimed at setting up a cooperative joint venture called Flash Fiber S.r.l.. TIM, in agreement with Fastweb, submitted to AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) some amendments to the agreements signed, in the form of proposed undertakings, aimed at closing the investigation without any breach being ascertained and, therefore, without any fine.

On March 28, 2018, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) resolved to approve the undertakings, making them binding on the Parties, and closed the case without imposing any fine.

On January 30, 2019, TIM sent the planned annual report on the provided coverage to AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority), supplemented by a subsequent communication dated March 29, 2019. TIM transmitted further details to AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) in July and AGCM acknowledged it on October 15, 2019. On January 31, 2020 TIM sent AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) the third report on the implementation of the undertakings given. Finally, on January 29, 2021 TIM sent AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) the fourth and final report on the implementation of the undertakings given.

On June 11, 2018 Open Fiber S.p.A. and Wind Tre S.p.A. filed separate appeals to the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) against the order closing case I799 with the acceptance of the undertakings. They allege that this order has a series of procedural and substantial defects.

Open Fiber S.p.A. also asked for the precautionary suspension of the order. In a ruling of March 2020, the Regional Administrative Court rejected in full the appeal by Open Fiber.

The hearing for discussion of the merits of Wind Tre's appeal was held on October 12, 2022 and the Regional Administrative Court published the judge's extinguishing order on October 23.

28-day billing

AGCom resolution 121/17/CONS introduced instructions on billing intervals for telephony, prescribing, for fixed telephony, that the interval should be monthly, or multiples thereof, and, for mobile telephony, that it should

be at least four-weekly. TIM appealed Resolution 121/17/CONS to the Regional Administrative Court. The judgment rejecting the appeal was published in February 2018. TIM appealed this judgment to the Council of State in June 2018. On September 23, 2020, the non-definitive ruling was published whereby the Council of State joined the appeals submitted by TIM, Vodafone, Fastweb and Wind Tre and ordered the prejudicial deferral to the European Union Court of Justice (EUCJ) on whether or not the Authority had the power to regulate the frequency of renewal of the commercial offers and invoicing periods, at the same time rejecting the other grounds of appeal submitted by the operators and suspending proceedings. In February 2021, TIM deposited the written observations on the requests for prejudicial judgment with the EUCJ. At the request of the CJEU, the Council of State, in an order published on November 23, 2021, confirmed the referral to the Court of Justice on the preliminary questions raised; the proceedings before the Council of State therefore remain suspended pending the CJEU's decision.

With its Resolution 499/17/CONS, having confirmed the breach of Resolution 121/17/CONS, AGCom fined TIM 1,160,000 euros, ordering it to make provision – when the billing cycle was restored to monthly intervals or multiples thereof – to return the amounts corresponding to the fee for the number of days that, from June 23, 2017, had not been used by the users in terms of the supply of service due to the misalignment of the fourweekly and monthly billing cycles.

In March 2018 with resolution no. 112/18/CONS AGCom (i) revoked the preceding resolution 499/17/CONS in the part in which TIM was ordered to repay the amounts presumably lost from June 23, 2017 onwards, with the four-weekly billing cycle, (ii) cautioned TIM, with regard to fixed-line voice services only, against postponing the starting date of invoices issued after the return to monthly invoicing by the same number of days as those presumably deducted starting from June 23, 2017 with the four-weekly invoicing cycle.

Under Presidential Decree 9/18/PRES, AGCom amended the provisions of Decision 112/18/CONS requiring the deferment of billing once the billing cycle was restored to monthly intervals, or multiples thereof, while also ordering that the timescales for complying with the order would be identified after hearings with the operators and the main consumer protection associations.

In July 2018, AGCom issued resolution 269/18/CONS, with which it set December 31, 2018 as the date by which the operators had to return to their fixed network customers a number of days of service equal to those eroded as an effect of 28-day billing, or propose to the affected customers any alternative compensatory measures, after having notified them to AGCom. TIM has appealed all of the above resolutions.

With the judgment published in November 2018, the TAR canceled the pecuniary administrative sanction of 1.16 million euros imposed with Resolution 499/17/CONS, and confirmed the obligation of restitutio in integrum to the fixed-line customers by December 31, 2018. TIM filed its preventive appeal before the Council of State to suspend the execution of said decision and, with its ruling of December 20, 2018, the Council of State, in upholding TIM's appeal, suspended the effectiveness of the aforesaid decision for the reversal order only, until May 21, 2019 while awaiting publication of the grounds for the judgment.

The date of the hearing to discuss the introductory appeal and additional grounds submitted in the meantime by TIM is still to be set. On July 12, 2019 the ruling mechanisms with which the Council of State rejected the similar appeals made by Vodafone, Wind Tre and Fastweb were published and in February 2020 the judgments containing the grounds were published.

In September 2019, TIM also challenged resolution 221/19/CONS, before the Regional Administrative Court (TAR), with which the sanction pursuant to Resolution 499/17/CONS, canceled by the Regional Administrative Court of Lazio, was recalculated to the amount of 580,000.00 euros, with the maximum fine provided for by Art. 98, subsection 16 of the CCE in force at the time of the events applied.

In August 2019, AGCom initiated new proceedings (CONT 12/19/DTC) for failure to comply with the order to refund the days eroded by billing every 28 days for fixed network and convergent customers, according to the procedures established with resolutions nos. 112/18/CONS and 269/18/CONS. On conclusion of these proceedings, by means of Resolution 75/20/CONS, the Authority found that TIM did not comply with the above resolutions, imposing a fine of 3 million euros. The measure was challenged by TIM before the TAR in July 2020.

Moreover, since June 2019, TIM has offered its fixed network customers, active prior to March 31, 2018 and subject to billing every 28 days, the possibility of accepting a compensatory solution, an alternative to refunding the eroded days pursuant to AGCom resolution no. 269/18/CONS and from September 2019 it has been accepting requests for reimbursement of eroded days. In both cases, TIM informed customers with several messages in the bill, on the web in the main newspapers. The initiatives just described were communicated to AGCom as part of the aforementioned penalty proceedings.

In the civil proceedings, by judgment published on October 14, 2021 the Court of Milan, under the scope of the case on the merits brought by Associazione Movimento dei Consumatori in 2018 regarding the pricing and 28 day renewal for fixed line and converging offers, confirmed the order given on June 4, 2018 by the same Court upon closure of the complaint brought by TIM pursuant to Art. 669 terdecies of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure and the measures set out therein, ordering TIM to fulfill the requests for repayment of prices paid as a result of customer maneuvers - including discontinued, as indeed TIM had already been doing since 2018, at the same time also extending the period relevant to the recognition of the reimbursement through to April 1, 2017 and therefore earlier than June 23, 2017, the date on which the operators will need to comply with Resolution no. 121/17/CONS. TIM has appealed the judgment of the Court of Milan, at the same time filing a request for suspension of its enforcement. With order of January 11, 2022, the Court of Appeal of Milan partially accepted TIM's request, suspending the charge in the judgment relating to the order to send a registered letter to all discontinued consumer customers that were subject to billing every 28 days to inform them of the possibility to obtain a refund of the additional amounts paid as a result of the maneuver. Following the hearing of July 5, 2022, the Court has assigned a deadline for the conclusions and the replies.

Antitrust Case I820

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 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. With 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 Telecom, Vodafone, Fastweb, WindTre, but excluding Asstel from participation in the agreement. The fine imposed on TIM for participation in the anti-competitive agreement was 114,398,325 euros. In April 2020, TIM also challenged the sanction 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 sanction.

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; the hearing for discussion of the petition has been scheduled for January 2023.

Antitrust Case I850

By decision given on December 15, 2020, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) started an investigation in regard to the company Telecom Italia S.p.A., Fastweb S.p.A., Teemo Bidco S.r.l., FiberCop S.p.A., Tiscali Italia S.p.A. and KKR & Co. Inc., to ascertain the existence of any breaches of article 101 of the TFEU.

More specifically, the investigation regards the contracts governing the establishment and operation of FiberCop and the supply agreements with Fastweb and Tiscali. AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) intends to verify that such agreements do not hinder competition between operators in the medium and longterm and assure the rapid modernization of the country's fixed telecommunications infrastructures.

On August 6, 2021, TIM submitted a proposal of undertakings to AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) in order to resolve the competition concerns subject of the investigation and close the proceedings without any sanction being applied.

On September 7, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) judged these commitments to not be clearly unfounded and ruled publication on the Authority's website from September 13, 2021; thus market testing began and was completed by October 13, 2021, the date by which all subjects so wishing submitted their observations to AGCM in respect of the relevant commitments.

On December 14, 2021 AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) extended the deadline for the conclusion of the proceedings, initially set for December 31, 2021, to February 15, 2022.

Precisely during the meeting held on February 15, 2022, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) finally resolved to approve the commitments insofar as they were considered suitable to eliminate the alleged anticompetition aspects investigated.

By petition notified in April 2022. Open Fiber has challenged the above AGCM provision no. 3002, whereby the proceedings were closed, before the regional administrative court of Lazio; the petitioner believes that the commitments, made mandatory by the closure, are not sufficient to remove the anticompetitive aspects identified at the start of proceedings.

Upon completion of the interim hearing of last June 1, the regional administrative court rejected the request and scheduled the merits hearing for January 25, 2023.

Antitrust Case I857

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

set-top-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 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.

On February 23, 2022, TIM and DAZN were convened separately to the AGCM 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.

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.

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.

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.

Antitrust Case PS 10888 "TIM Passepartout"

On June 15, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) initiated proceedings against TIM for unfair commercial practice concerning the lack of transparency of the information provided by the TIM Passepartout payment management platform and alleged activations of services not requested. Although firmly convinced of the lawful nature of its conduct, on July 29, 2021, TIM chose to submit undertakings with corrective measures. The undertakings submitted consist of improving information aspects noted as falling short of expectations of the TIM Passepartout platform (only operative for customer base offers) and in implementing a communication campaign aimed at making contact with customers not acknowledging charges for services not requested, to see if conditions are met for refund. The Authority has accepted the commitments made by TIM hence the proceedings have now concluded without any assessment of the alleged unfair conduct and application of the sanction.

Antitrust Case PS 12231 "TIM fixed offers" (Premium, Executive, Magnifica)

On December 22, 2021, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) started proceedings against TIM for unfair commercial practices concerning the alleged failure to provide information on the consumption of the voice component of the Premium and Executive fixed offers and technical limits correlated with the method being tried out of the Magnifica fixed offer. Although convinced that its conduct was correct, on February 23, 2022, TIM submitted undertakings that overcame the technical limits disputed for the Magnifica offer on trial, improved transparency of information on the consumption components of the Premium and Executive offers and defined a communication campaign focused on customers not acknowledging charges for consumption in the voice component, so as to assess whether or not conditions are met for refund. The Authority has rejected the commitments but considered that the measures implemented by TIM were able to cease the conduct disputed. The completion of the proceedings was postponed until November 15, 2022.

Antitrust Case PS 12304 "Anomalous billing"

On April 28, 2022, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) initiated proceedings against TIM for unfair commercial practice, challenging alleged undue billing following a request to terminate the line, including cases of switch to another operator. Although convinced of the diligence of its conduct, TIM has submitted commitments to further improve the cases reported by the Authority. Conclusion of the proceedings has been extended to November 24, 2022.

Antitrust Case PS 12384 "Additional giga"

On August 5, 2022, AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority) initiated proceedings against TIM for unfair commercial practice, challenging the alleged incorrect application of art. 65 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 206 of September 6, 2005 for an alleged additional service (giga) present in the mobile maneuver offer with effect from September 1, 2022. TIM has rejected the allegations made by AGCM (the Italian Competition Authority), convinced that its conduct was correct. The proceedings are expected to conclude by January 05, 2023.

Universal Service

In a decision published in July 2015, the Council of State rejected the appeal lodged by AGCom and TIM against the judgment of the Lazio Administrative Court (TAR) on the financing of the universal service obligations for the period 1999–2003. With this judgment the judge had granted the appeals by Vodafone, annulling AGCom decisions 106, 107, 109/11/CONS on the renewal of the related proceedings, which included Vodafone among the subjects required to contribute, for a sum of approximately 38 million euros. Essentially, the judgment confirms that the Authority has not demonstrated the particular degree of "replaceability" between fixed and mobile telephony for mobile operators to be included among the subjects required to repay the cost of the universal service, which means that AGCom needs to issue a new ruling.

TIM has filed an application with AGCom to renew the proceedings, and an appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal to the Court of Cassation (which subsequently ruled that the appeal was inadmissible).

In April 2016 Vodafone appealed against the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) and TIM to the Council of State, for non-compliance with the judgment of the Council of State. This appeal referred to AGCom decision 109/11/CONS (2003 yearly payment, on the basis of which Vodafone had paid the sum of approximately 9 million euros as contribution, restitution of which was requested).

In its judgment of November 2016, the Council of State rejected the appeal, referring to the Regional Administrative Court (TAR) the decision on the methods of compliance. In February 2017, Vodafone presented the Lazio Regional Administrative Court with four new appeals against the Ministry of Economic Development and TIM regarding observance of the ruling, upheld on appeal, countermanding the resolutions for the years 1999–2003 and repayment of the aforesaid amounts of around 38 million euros already paid to the Ministry of Economic Development as a contribution.

With a judgment issued in June 2018, the TAR rejected all of Vodafone's appeals for observance, and, as requested by TIM, expressly affirmed that AGCom must renew the proceedings, particularly with regard to the determination of the degree of replaceability between fixed and mobile telephony. Vodafone challenged the four judgments before the Council of State, which, with a decision of October 2019, upheld Vodafone's appeal and confirmed the restitutory obligation of the sums in question applicable to TIM.

With resolution no. 263/20/CIR, AGCom started proceedings to renew the investigation into the iniquity of the net cost of the universal service for 1999-2009 and the allocation of contribution expenses. Vodafone has challenged this resolution before the Regional Administrative Court. The renewal proceedings concluded with resolution 18/21/CIR, which substantively confirmed the draft order. This same resolution has only been challenged before the regional administrative court by TIM for the years 1999 and 2000, while Vodafone, Wind and Fastweb have challenged the resolution for all years concerned with opposite grounds. By judgments published in February 2022, resolution 18/21/CIR was partially canceled; indeed, the regional administrative court has rejected the main complaint reporting the lack of power of renovation and upheld only the grounds hinged on the alleged unreasonable nature of the threshold envisaged by AGCOM for the analysis of iniquity second facie. Fastweb, Vodafone, Wind and TIM have appealed to the Council of State against the judgment of the regional administrative court and the related hearings of the merits have not yet been scheduled.

Dispute relating to "Adjustments on license fees" for the years 1994-1998

With regard to the judgments sought in previous years concerning the Ministry of Communications' request for payment of the balance of the amounts paid in concession charges for the years 1994-1998 (for a total of 113 million euros), the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR) rejected the Company's appeal against the request for adjustment of the license fee for 1994 in the amount of approximately 11 million euros, 9 million euros of which against turnover not received due to bad debts. TIM lodged an appeal. On the outcome of proceedings, with the ruling of December 2019, the Council of State partially accepted TIM's position, establishing the principle, according to which, the receivables referring to 1994 not collected for reasons not attributable to the operator, could have been deducted from the tax base for calculating the concession fee. As the Ministry of Economic Development has not followed up on TIM's requests aimed at obtaining fulfillment of the judgment, TIM has submitted a further petition to the Council of State for failure to execute the judgment, but with judgment given in April 2022, the request for compliance brought by TIM was rejected.

With two further judgments the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (TAR), reiterating the reasons expressed previously, also rejected the appeals in which the Company challenged the requests for payment of outstanding balances of license fees for the years 1995 and 1996-1997-1998, in the amount of approximately 46 million euros. TIM has appealed before the Council of State also against these judgments. By judgment published in April 2022, the Council of State stressed the principles already set for 1994, namely that receivables that have become uncollectable for reasons not the fault of the operator, correctly handled in the

accounts, on the financial statements and in terms of tax, can be deducted from the tax base for calculating the concession fee.

With reference to the 1998 fee adjustment (equal to about 41 million euros), the Lazio TAR, by TAR order of December 2018, suspended the judgment, raising preliminary questions with the EU Court of Justice on the correct scope of EC Directive no. 97/13 (in the matter of general authorizations and individual licenses in the field of telecommunications services on the basis of the currently pending litigation on the 1998 license fee, currently pending before the Rome Court of Appeal and illustrated in a subsequent paragraph).

The referred questions were based, inter alia, on the question posed to the Court of Justice on the possible conflict between the aforementioned EC Directive 97/13 and national law, which extended the obligation for telecommunications license-holders to pay the license fee for 1998 (commensurate with a portion of turnover), despite the liberalization process underway. In its judgment of March 2020, the EU Court of Justice held that the EU regulatory system must be interpreted as not allowing national legislation to extend to 1998 the obligation imposed on a telecommunications undertaking that was previously the concession holder (such as TIM) to pay a fee calculated on the basis of turnover and not only the administrative costs connected with the granting, management, control and implementation of the general authorizations and individual licenses scheme. The Court held, inter alia, that the Council of State – having held in its judgment 7506/2009 that the fee imposed for 1998 on TIM, the holder of an authorization existing on the date of entry into force of Directive 97/13, was due – interpreted national law in a way that was incompatible with EU law, as interpreted by the Court in its judgment of February 21, 2008. Following the judgment of the EU Court of Justice, the opinion on the final calculation of the 1998 charges was summarized before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, which, in a judgment given last February, declared TIM's appeal as unacceptable for procedural reasons, namely due to the prevalence of the formal ruling consisting of judgment no. 7506/09; in substantive terms, on the other hand, the judgment of the EU Court of Justice once again ascertained the European Community unlawful nature of the credit claim by the PA to obtain payment of the 1998 charges and, consequently, the final balance. The company has challenged the judgment of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court.

Brazil - Opportunity Arbitration

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 Court 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 Court 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 Court of Arbitration 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. On October 10, 2022, TIM deposited the defense briefs with the Paris Court of Appeal: on October 11, the procedural hearing was held, during which the following dates were scheduled: January 25, 2023 the deadline for filing the conclusion briefs of Opportunity; April 26, 2023 the deadline for filing the conclusion briefs of TIM; May 23, 2023 the deadline for submitting new evidence; and June 5, 2023 the debate hearing for discussion of both appeal proceedings, when the schedule for forthcoming activities will be set. The two decisions of the Court of Appeal should be made in 2023.

Iliad

By 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 compensation for damages. In the first preliminary brief, Iliad updated its claim for damages, taking it to 242.8 million euros. The hearing for closing arguments is scheduled for December 6, 2022.

Iliad

By writ of summons notified in September 2021, Iliad Italia S.p.A. summonsed TIM before the Court of Milan for the alleged application to customers of unlawful contractual conditions in terms of time limits and economic costs for withdrawal with reference to mobile and fixed telephone offers, with a consequent petition to order TIM to compensate damages, currently quantified as 120.4 million euros. On February 1, 2022, the first hearing was held and the terms assigned for the briefs pursuant to article 183, subsection VI of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure. The hearing for discussion of the evidence has been postponed to April 5, 2023.

T-Power

By writ of summons notified in December 2021, T-Power s.r.l., former Agent for the consumer sector, summonsed TIM before the Court of Rome to have the right acknowledged to receive payment of a total maximum amount of approximately 85 million euros by way of commission, compensation in lieu of notice and termination of employment, as well as compensation for damages. At the first hearing of April 27, 2022, the Court has granted time pursuant to Art. 183 of the Code of Civil Procedure and deferred the case to May 22, 2023 for admission of the evidence.

Fastweb (Ethernet ATM migration)

By writ of summons notified in December 2021, TIM summonsed Fastweb before the Court of Milan, asking that it be ascertained and declared that Fastweb had not achieved the minimum objectives of migration from ATM bitstream technology to Ethernet bitstream technology in any of the 30 Collection Areas into which the national territory is divided by the deadline envisaged by industry regulation and the migration plan agreed by the parties; and therefore that it ascertain and declare that Telecom is entitled to: (a) reverse the economic benefits relating to this migration granted retroactively from 4/12/2016 to Fastweb and (b) obtain from Fastweb the prices for the ATM bandwidth envisaged by the contract stipulated by the parties and the current OR in force ratione temporis; (c) therefore declare and order Fastweb to pay Telecom the total amount of 79,240,329.47 euros (or other amount, potentially greater, as may be assessed during the course of proceedings).

Fastweb filed an appearance and submitted a counterclaim for abuse of a dominant market position and breach of contract. Fastweb's application is essentially based on alleged delays in the development of Ethernet coverage. The counterparty complains of damages of around 81.4 million euros. Having noted that the counterclaim made by Fastweb would appear to go beyond the profile of breach of contract and that, in this case, the specialized business chambers may be competent to judge the matter, the investigating judge has returned the case to the Chambers President for due consideration. The Chambers President has submitted the case to the President of the specialized business chambers. The first hearing is scheduled for December 14, 2022.

Wind Tre

By writ of summons notified in July 2022, Wind Tre summonsed Tim, Inwit and Vodafone to trial before the Court of Milan, asking that it ascertain the obstructive conduct of INWIT, seeking to prevent Wind Tre from upgrading the devices of its mobile network currently located at INWIT sites on the basis of the hosting contracts currently in force inter partes. Such conduct would constitute breach of contract and unlawful exploitation of the dominant position in accordance with Art. 3 of the Antitrust Law as well as unfair competition by third party also perpetrated in the form of secondary boycotting by INWIT S.p.A., TIM S.p.A. and Vodafone Italia S.p.A.. The opposing party asks the Court to ascertain and declare INWIT S.p.A., TIM S.p.A. and Vodafone Italia S.p.A. jointly liable to compensate the damages suffered by Wind Tre as a result of such unlawful acts, to be quantified as 50 million euros. The first hearing is scheduled for March 1, 2023.

Iliad

By writ of summons notified 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 first hearing is scheduled for February 28, 2023.

b) Other information

Mobile telephony - criminal proceedings

In March 2012 TIM was served notice of the conclusion of the preliminary inquiries, which showed that the Company was being investigated by the Public Prosecutor of Milan pursuant to the Legislative Decree n. 231/2001, for the offenses of handling stolen goods and counterfeiting committed, according to the alleged allegations, by fourteen employees of the so-called "ethnic channel", with the participation of a number of dealers, for the purpose of obtaining undeserved commissions from TIM.

The Company, as the injured party damaged by such conduct, had brought two legal actions in 2008 and 2009 and had proceeded to suspend the employees involved in the criminal proceedings (suspension later followed by dismissal). It has also filed an initial statement of defense, together with a technical report by its own expert, requesting that the proceedings against it be suspended, and that charges of aggravated fraud against the Company be brought against the other defendants. In December 2012, the Public Prosecutor's Office filed a request for 89 defendants and the Company itself to be committed for trial.

During the preliminary hearing, the Company was admitted as civil party to the trial and, in November 2013, the conclusions in the interest of the civil party were filed, reaffirming TIM's total lack of involvement in the offenses claimed.

At the end of the preliminary hearing, which took place in March 2014, the Judge for the Preliminary Hearing committed for trial all the defendants (including TIM) who had not asked for their situation to be settled with alternative procedures, on the grounds that "examination in a trial" was needed. In April 2016, at the end of the first part of the trial, the Public Prosecutor asked for TIM to be sentenced to pay an administrative fine of 900 thousand euros, but decided not to ask for confiscation of any of the presumed profits of the offenses (quantified in the committal proceedings as totaling several million euros), based on the assumption that TIM had in any event remedied the presumed organizational inadequacies. While acknowledging the considerable redimensioning of the accusations, the Company has reiterated its total non-involvement in the facts at issue. In November 2016 the Court gave a verdict acquitting the Company on the grounds that there was no case to answer. All the individuals charged were also acquitted on various grounds.

The Public Prosecutor appealed the acquittal and appealed to the Court of Cassation "per saltum". In January 2019, the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation agreed to the appeal and therefore ordered that the documents of the proceedings be sent to the Milan Court of Appeal.

The proceedings were assigned to Chambers IV of the Milan Court of Appeal and started in May 2022; they concluded in October.

Upon completion of the phase, the Court of Appeal confirmed the judgment challenged, repeating the acquittal of TIM and dismissing the requests for sentencing of the General Prosecutor's Office in regard to the Company.

The Court also set a deadline of 15 days for filing the grounds.

Dispute concerning the license fees for 1998

TIM has issued civil proceedings against the office of the Prime Minister for compensation of the damage caused by the Italian State through appeal judgment no.7506/09 by the Council of State that, in the view of the Company, violates the principles of current European 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 (totaling 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 favorable 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:

• on the considered lack of jurisdiction of the Court of Rome (concerned by the judgment of the Court of Rome appealed by TIM) to judge the liability of the Italian government for the work of senior magistrates (in the case in point, the Council of State), which would have led to the declared inadmissibility of the claim in accordance with Art. 5, law no. 117/1978 (old text) - the United Chambers of the Court of Cassation ruled with judgment no. 14842 on June 7, 2018, confirming the jurisdiction of the Court of Rome and, therefore, the correctness of TIM's choice to base its lawsuit in the Court of Rome;
• on the unlawful nature of the conduct of the Italian government and, therefore, on the liability of the State-Court in accordance with Law no. 117/1998 - once again, the EU Court of Justice has ruled, deciding on the prejudicial matter raised by the Lazio TAR in other, connected proceedings, in its judgment given on March 4, 2020 in C-34/19, stressing that TIM was not required to pay the charges demanded by the State for 1998 and, therefore, confirming the clear violation by the Council of State of European Community law (also because in clear conflict with the decision already given by the EU Court of Justice on February 21, 2008 in C-296/06, as, moreover, already ruled by the Court of Appeal of Rome, Chambers I, in Decree of January 31, 2012, which sanctioned the procedural admissibility of TIM's lawsuit);
• on the matter of the right to repeat the charges paid for 1998 the Court of Cassation ruled in its judgment no. 18603 given on September 7, 2020, rejecting the appeal brought by the Presidency of the Council against the judgment whereby the Court of Appeal of Rome had upheld the claim for compensation made by Vodafone (payment of charges for 1998) for the same title in separate proceedings.

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 the aforementioned analyzes aimed at reaching a definition of the appeal sentence, it should be pointed out that on January 25, 2021 the Company filed a request with the Rome Court of Appeal to bring forward the hearing (postponed, as mentioned, to January 25, 2022) in order to avoid yet another postponement of the case, which, as we know, concerns the non-compliance with two inter partes decisions, on the same matter, by the Court of Justice of the European Union for a clear 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 2/22/2022, 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.

TIM S.A. - Arbitration proceedings no. 28/2021/SEC8

In March 2020, TIM S.A. concluded negotiations with C6 and, in April 2020, launched exclusive offers for TIM customers who had opened C6 bank accounts and used their services. As compensation for this contract, TIM S.A. receives commission for each account activated, as well as the option of obtaining an investment in the bank upon achieving certain targets connected to the number of active accounts.

The number of shares received for each target achieved varies throughout the contract term, with the initial percentages being more advantageous for TIM due to the greater effort required for a new digital company to take off.

Even with the project's success, differences between the partners resulted in the initiation of arbitration proceedings in 2021.

Arbitration proceedings no. 28/2021/SEC8 were filed with the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce, by TIM against Banco C6 S.A., Carbon Holding Financeira S.A. and Carbon Holding S.A. through which the interpretation will be discussed of certain clauses of the contracts governing the partnership. In the event of losing, the partnership may be dissolved.

TIM S.A. - Arbitration proceedings connected with the acquisition of the Oi Group mobile telephone assets

On September 19, 2022, TIM S.A., the TIM Group's Brazilian subsidiary, reported that the Buyers (TIM S.A., Telefônica Brasil S.A. and Claro S.A.) of the Oi Móvel S.A. ("Seller") mobile telephone assets had identified differences in the assumptions and criteria that under the Share Purchase Agreement and Other Covenants ("SPA") justify a proposal to change the Adjusted Closing Price ("ACP") on behalf of TIM in approximately 1.4 billion reais. In addition to those relating to the Adjusted Closing Price, differences were noted in connection with the contracts of Cozani (the company to which the business unit relating to the TIM S.A. part share in the assets, rights and obligations of the mobile telephone business of Oi Móvel has flown) with companies supplying mobile infrastructure services (site/tower rental), which, according to the provisions of the SPA, entail indemnity of approximately 231 million reais by the Seller to TIM S.A. As a result of the differences found, TIM S.A. retained an amount of 634 million reais.

On October 3, 2022, considering the Seller's express violation of the dispute resolution mechanisms provided for in the SPA, TIM S.A. communicated that the Buyers had no other alternative but to file an arbitration procedure with the Market Arbitration Chamber (Câmara de Arbitragem do Mercado) of B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão against Oi to determine the effective amount of the adjustment to the Adjusted Closing Price, in the form of the SPA.

On October 4, 2022, the Company was surprised by news published by the press and by a Material Fact released by the Seller that a preliminary decision had been handed down by the 7th Business Court of the Judicial District of Rio de Janeiro determining the deposit in court by the Buyers of approximately 1.53 billion reais – of which approximately 670 million reais by TIM S.A. – in an account linked to the court-ordered reorganization process of Oi, where it will be safeguarded until a later decision by the arbitration court. Said deposit has already been made, remaining in an account linked to the Court pending the installation of the Court of Arbitration.

TIM S.A. appealed the decision and, on October 17, 2022, the Superior Court of Justice, in a monocratic decision, rejected the appeal of TIM S.A. and the other Buyers. Thus, on October 19, 2022, TIM S.A. deposited the amount of 670 million reais in guarantee for the Court of the 7th Business Court of the Judicial District of Rio de Janeiro.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In addition to the conventional financial performance measures established by IFRS, 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 indicators 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 IFRS. As these measurements are not defined by the IFRSs, 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 indicator is used by TIM as the financial target, in addition to the EBIT. These measures are calculated as follows:

Profit (loss) before tax from continuing operations

• • Finance expenses
• Finance income
• +/- Other expenses (income) from investments

+/- Share of losses (profits) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method

• EBIT Operating profit (loss)
• +/- Impairment losses (reversals) on non-current assets
• +/- Losses (gains) on disposals of non-current assets
• • Depreciation and amortization

EBITDA – Operating profit before depreciation and amortization, capital gains (losses) and impairment reversals (losses) on non-current assets

• Organic change and impact of the non-recurring items on revenues, EBITDA and EBIT: these measures express changes (amount and/or percentage) in Revenues, EBITDA and EBIT, excluding, where applicable, the effects of the change in the scope of consolidation, the exchange differences and the non-recurring events and transactions. The TIM Group presents a reconciliation between the "accounting or reported" figures and the "organic excluding the non-recurring component".
• EBITDA margin and EBIT margin: TIM believes that these margins represent useful indicator of the ability of the Group (as a whole and at Business Unit level) to generate profits from its revenues. In fact, EBITDA margin and EBIT margin measure the operating performance of an entity by analyzing the percentage of revenues that are converted into EBITDA and EBIT, respectively.
• Net Financial Debt: TIM believes that the Net Financial Debt represents an accurate indicator of its ability to meet its financial obligations. It is represented by Gross Financial Debt less Cash and Cash Equivalents and other Financial Assets. The TIM Group presents a table showing the amounts taken from the statements of financial position and used to calculate the Net Financial Debt of the Group.

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.

Net financial debt is calculated as follows:

+	Non-current financial liabilities
+	Current financial liabilities
+	Financial liabilities directly associated with Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale
A)	Gross financial debt
+	Non-current financial assets
+	Current financial assets
+	Financial assets relating to Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale
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:

	Reduction/(Increase) in adjusted net financial debt from continuing operations

Alternative performance measures after lease

Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the TIM Group presents the following additional alternative performance measures:

• EBITDA After Lease ("EBITDA-AL"), calculated by adjusting the Organic EBITDA, net of the nonrecurring items, from the amounts connected with the accounting treatment of the lease contracts;
• Adjusted net financial debt After Lease, calculated by excluding from the adjusted net financial debt the net liabilities related to the accounting treatment of lease contracts. TIM believes that the Adjusted net financial debt After Lease represents an indicator of the ability to meet its financial obligations;

• Equity Free Cash Flow After Lease, calculated by excluding from the Equity Free Cash Flow the amounts related to lease payments. In particular, this measure is calculated as follows:

• Principal share of lease payments

This measure is a useful indicator of the ability to generate Free Cash Flow.
