PRESS RELEASE

Rome, 4 November 2015 - Following press reports today, not divulged by the Company, on the 2015 -2019 Business Plan for the Poste Italiane Group and relating to the hypothesis contemplated therein that dividends of Euro 250 million per year would be paid out in the next four years, Poste Italiane, upon Consob's request, reiterates its previous announcement of 27 October 2015. Precisely, that the economic assumptions and the above hypothetical dividend distribution included in the business plan approved in May 2015 have been superseded, because they take into account neither the effects of the accrued half-year results, which are an improvement on such assumptions, nor the dividend policy approved by the Board of Directors on 7 October 2015, which targets a dividend distribution payout for the years 2015-2016 of not less than 80% of the Group's consolidated net income.
