2 Analytical indication of the reasons why the Promoter proposes the exercise of voting rights in the manner indicated in the Prospectus and in the Proxy Form.
The Issuer promotes this solicitation in order to encourage active participation in the life of the company and in particular in the Special Meeting and in the resolution that it will be called upon to take. In this perspective, without prejudice to the reasons that will be indicated below for the Proposal, the solicitation is – first and foremost and generally – motivated by the Issuer's intention to offer, also through the organization of the Delegated Subject and the assistance services provided by the latter, a tool for the benefit of shareholders, aimed at increasing, with diligence and in a spirit of fairness and transparency, their awareness of issues relating to corporate governance and actively support their effective and sustainable commitment.
That said, the reasons underlying the Proposal formulated by the Promoter and the subject of this solicitation are indicated below. Given the coincidence between the Promoter and the Issuer, for a broader and more analytical explanation of these reasons, the Savings Shareholders are invited to examine the explanatory report prepared by the Board of Directors on the only item on the agenda, pursuant to art. 125-ter of the TUF, published on 29 December 2025 on the Issuer's website at www.gruppotim.it/assemblea.
In particular, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of TIM, convened for 28 January 2026 in a single call, is called to express an extraordinary opinion on a transaction for the conversion of the Company's issued savings shares (the "Savings Shares") into TIM ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares"), which is divided into: (a) the attribution to the Savings Shareholders of the right to convert, in whole or in part, its Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares according to the following conversion terms: (i) a conversion ratio equal to no. 1 Ordinary Share for each Preferred Share; plus (ii) a cash adjustment equal to a total of
Euro 0.12 per Savings Share, to be paid by the Company to Savings Shareholders who exercise this right of conversion (the "Optional Conversion"); and (b) the mandatory conversion into Ordinary Shares of the Preferred Shares that have not been subject to Optional Conversion, according to the following conversion terms: (i) a conversion ratio equal to no. 1 Ordinary Share for each Savings Share; plus (ii) a cash adjustment of a total of Euro 0.04 per Savings Share, to be paid by the Company to the Savings Shareholders (the "Mandatory Conversion", and together with the Optional Conversion, the "Conversion").
The Mandatory Conversion, which is part of the broader optional and mandatory Conversion operation, submitted for approval to the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, is relevant pursuant to art. 146, paragraph 1, letter (b), of the TUF, and is therefore subject to the approval of the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders of the Company
The Conversion is part of a broader corporate transaction, which also consists of the reduction of TIM's share capital, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code, to a total of Euro 6,000,000,000.00, without any change in the number of TIM shares outstanding and with a consequent reduction in their implicit nominal value (the "Capital Reduction"). Due to the functional link between the aforementioned transactions, the Capital Reduction and the Conversion are inseparable transactions.
The Conversion is also subject to the conditions of effectiveness set out in the explanatory report of the Board of Directors, prepared pursuant to Article 125-ter of the TUF, published on 29 December 2025 on the Issuer's website at the address (www.gruppotim.it/assemblea) to which reference is made.
As for the reasons underlying the proposal, the Conversion is justified first of all with a view to rationalising the structure of TIM's share capital, thus achieving the need to simplify the ownership structure and, more generally, the governance of the Company and reduce the management costs associated with the division of the share capital into several categories of
{9}------------------------------------------------

shares admitted to listing. Indeed, also taking into account the progressive decline in market interest in savings shares, it is believed that their retention in the state does not respond to an appreciable social interest of TIM. The simplification and rationalization of the share capital structure is a well-established trend towards which the market converges. Suffice it to consider that at present only 5 Italian companies issuing shares listed on regulated markets – including TIM – maintain a capital structure divided into ordinary and savings shares. On the other hand, the Conversion would make it possible to expand the overall free float of the Ordinary Shares, helping to create the conditions for greater liquidity of the TIM share and, therefore, also for greater interest of the market and institutional investors in the stock.
In this perspective, the Conversion would allow (in compliance with the rights and prerogatives of the holders of the Savings Shares, who are also granted the possibility of opting for the Optional Conversion according to the conversion terms described above):
(a) to Savings Shareholders:
(i) to convert its Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares under Conversion terms expressing the following implicit premiums with respect to: (x) the closing prices on December 19, 2025 (i.e., the trading day prior to the date of announcement of the Conversion to the market) (the "Reference Date"); and (y) the arithmetic average of the closing prices over the 6 and 3 months and month preceding the Reference Date (inclusive):
| Optional Conversion (2) | ConversionCompulsory (3) | |
|---|---|---|
| Conversion Report | 1:1 | 1:1 |
| Adjustment per Share | € 0,1200 VATincluded | € 0,0400 VATincluded |
| Price at Reference Date | €0.5744 VATincluded | €0.5744 VATincluded |
| Implied premium on price at Reference Date | 8,3% | (5,6%) |
| 1-month average price (*) | €0.5622 VATincluded | €0.5622 VATincluded |
| Implied premium on average price over 1 month | 10,6% | (3,6%) |
| 3-month average price (**) | € 0,5481 VATincluded | € 0,5481 VATincluded |
| Implicit premium on average price over 3 months | 13,5% | (1,1%) |
| 6-month average price (***) | € 0,5117 VATincluded | € 0,5117 VATincluded |
| Implied premium on 6-month average price | 21,6% | 5,9% |
(*)19/12/2025 – 20/11/2025 (inclusive). The days on which the market is closed were not taken into account for the purposes of the calculation.
(**)19/12/2025 – 20/09/2025 (inclusive). The days on which the market is closed were not taken into account for the purposes of the calculation.
(***)19/12/2025 – 20/06/2025 (inclusive). The days on which the market is closed were not taken into account for the purposes of the calculation.
(ii) as a result of the Conversion (whether optional or mandatory) to: (x) be holders of

3 Calculated as follows: Implicit premium = [(a*b+c) / d ] -1 where: "a" means the closing price on the Reference Date of the Ordinary Share equal to Euro 0.5020; "b" means the Conversion ratio of the Mandatory Conversion; "c" means the Adjustment for the Mandatory Conversion; and "d" indicates the price taken as a reference for the Savings Share.
{10}------------------------------------------------

Ordinary Shares that confer voting rights in the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Company and incorporate their value; (y) receive a security that has a greater degree of liquidity in terms of trading volumes and that falls within the scope of the rules of mandatory takeover bids (which relate only to securities that confer voting rights in shareholders' resolutions concerning the appointment or removal of directors pursuant to Article 105, paragraph 2, of the TUF); (z) participate in the future remuneration of Ordinary Shareholders in line with the Shareholder remuneration policies that may be adopted by the Company;
- (b) the current holders of Ordinary Shares, to benefit from the loss of the patrimonial privileges attributed to the Savings Shares;
- (c) all TIM Shareholders to benefit from the greater liquidity of the share as a result of the expansion of the free float of the Ordinary Shares following the Conversion; and
- (d) to rationalise and simplify the structure of its shareholding structure, also benefiting from a reduction in management costs associated with the presence of more than one category of shares admitted to listing.
In this regard, it should also be noted that: (i) as a result of the Conversion resolution (and pending the Conversion itself), the Preferred Shares will not benefit for the financial year 2025 (and therefore already from the results of that year) from any capital privileges that may be due to them pursuant to the Articles of Association, which have been taken into account in determining the terms of the Conversion (as better illustrated in the report of the Board of Directors pursuant to art. 125- ter of the TUF, to which reference is made); (ii) in any case, the effectiveness of the Conversion will take place before the payment date of any dividend which, if the conditions are met, could be distributed from the results of the 2025 financial year. Accordingly, should the Company's General Meeting of Shareholders and the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders approve the proposed Conversion, Savings Shareholders will not benefit from any privilege over Common Shareholders in the distribution of any profits that may result from the financial statements ending December 31, 2025.
For the reasons set out above, the Promoter invites the Savings Shareholders to grant a proxy to vote in favour of the Proposal to approve the Mandatory Conversion of the Savings Shares, which is part of the broader optional and mandatory Conversion operation submitted for approval to the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of TIM, expressly approving the related terms and conditions, as illustrated in the report of the Board of Directors prepared pursuant to the applicable regulations.
