LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to provide you with the 2015 Report on Remuneration, which, in compliance with current legislation, is divided into two sections. The first contains a description of the Telecom Italia S.p.A. remuneration policy for 2016 for Directors and Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, while the second gives the total for remuneration for FY 2015, together with the shareholdings held by Directors, Statutory Auditors and Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities in the Company and its subsidiaries.

This report has been prepared with the intention of providing the market and the investors with an instantly readable picture of the key elements of remuneration and of how these can help ensure achievement of the Group strategy.

The Committee's work was performed through a process of planning activities, continuous monitoring of the implementation of instruments supporting the 2015 Remuneration Policy, and the determination of guidelines for the 2016 Remuneration Policy. In March 2016 the extraordinary management of the exit of the former Chief Executive Officer Marco Patuano (22 March 2016) and his succession, was grafted onto this ordinary activity. This led to the appointment of a Director, Flavio Cattaneo, to the post of Chief Executive Officer on 30 March 2016.

During 2015, with the support of the People Value Department, we initially monitored the suitability of the remuneration policies adopted, checked the level of achievement of the 2014 MBO targets and determined the 2015 incentive system, prepared the Report on Remuneration approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 May 2015 and continuously monitored the People Strategy system.

Furthermore, the Committee has concentrated with particular attention on the analysis of and the procedures for implementing certain fundamental elements of the 2016 remuneration policy, with the object of increasing alignment with market best practices and with the expectations of investors, always in compliance with the relevant ruling legislation.

To this end we have redesigned the architecture of the MBO system, examined closely and introduced the clawback clause, and updated certain elements relating to severance settlements.

Furthermore, within the context of the overall People Strategy, we have carried out the introduction of tools for alignment and flexibility of remuneration in its entirety; the integrated use of the various remuneration levers will allow a balance between fixed component and variable component, and will permit more substantial development of the benefit and welfare areas.

This work benefited the definition of the compensation package for the new Chief Executive Officer (with the same general contractual approach and amounts), and, further, featured the introduction of a new extraordinary remuneration tool, of four years' duration, to incentivise pursuit of the total turnaround of the business, deemed a priority for most of Telecom Italia's stakeholders. The same priority prompted the review of the compensation package for the Chairman of the Board of Directors, to ensure full operational alignment for the Executive Directors in terms of the architecture of their pay packages and the related incentive targets, in pursuit of the strategic objectives of the company.

Confident that this Report testifies to the Committee's commitment to respect the logic of transparency required by the legislation and to which the Company fully adheres, I thank you for the support which I hope you will give to the policies set for 2016.

Davide Benello

Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee

Report on Remuneration 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Telecom Italia's remuneration policies aim to become increasingly a strategic lever for developing human resources and creating value for the Company.

These policies are an important part of the more general People Strategy, aimed at the adoption of development and management systems that recognise the value of the individual, placing them at the centre of the model according to a rationale based on attention and proximity.

At the same time, a specific focus on the achievement of the targets for the total turnaround of the business was introduced, assigning to the new Chief Executive Officer a newly conceived incentive measure, in addition to the compensation package that was identical to that of his predecessor, which will directly benefit him, and which represents a management lever of immediate perception and effectiveness, than will enable him to reward those resources in his team that have made a particular contribution to the achievement of the over-performance against the company's business plan.

The 2016 remuneration policy is divided into the following components:

  • Fixed Remuneration
  • Variable Remuneration (both short and long term)
  • Special Award
  • Benefits and Welfare.

The key elements of the remuneration policy of 2016 are summarized below.

For the senior roles in Telecom Italia, the 2016 remuneration policy guidelines specify the pay mix described in the diagrams which follow.

In particular, it should be noted that for the Chairman, the fixed remuneration component and short term remuneration component have equal incidence, while for the Chief Executive Officer, most of his remuneration is subject to the achievement of short or medium term performance targets. The same dynamic, although less pronounced in coherence with the different responsibilities, is envisaged for the remuneration package of the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities .

The pay mix set out below is net of the Special Award.

PAY MIX

SECTION I - 2016 REMUNERATION POLICY

PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE REMUNERATION PROCESS

In 2015 the Committee met 7 times. The meetings were attended by the Head of the People Value Department, and the managers responsible for the areas being discussed were invited in each case to provide support. To perform its functions, the Committee makes use of the collaboration of the competent Departments within the Company and the support of external consultants who are not in situations likely to compromise their independence of judgement. Since July 2014, the Committee has made use of the assistance and studies provided by the company Mercer.

During 2016 and until the completion of this report (Board of Directors meeting on 27 April 2016), the Committee met 7 times. For the succession process, which led to the appointment of a Director, Flavio Cattaneo, as new Chief Executive Officer on 30 March 2016, the Committee was supported by executive search company Korn Ferry, as well as consultancy on employment law by the Company's external legal advisors.

The Committee members currently are: Davide Benello (Chairman), Luca Marzotto, Denise Kingsmill, Arnaud de Puyfontaine and Stéphane Roussel (the last two were appointed by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 15 February 2016, when note was taken of the resignation of the Director Jean Paul Fitoussi as a member of the Committee) .

2016 REMUNERATION POLICY TOOLS AND GUIDELINES

The remuneration policy of the Telecom Italia Group is aimed at ensuring the company's maximum competitiveness on the labour market, as well as its capacity to attract, retain and motivate people. The guidelines and related remuneration tools must ensure:

  • the achievement of the Company's strategic targets
  • the competitiveness of the company on the labour market
  • the commitment of its people
  • the safeguarding of the principles of internal fairness;

International Companies

  • the alignment of the interests of the management with the creation of value for shareholders and also with the sustainability of the results in the long term;
  • the safeguarding of consistency at Group level, while taking into account the diversity of the reference markets

Atlantia

Campari Enel

ENI FCA

To improve the determination of the remuneration policies, the necessary comparisons are made with the external market. In this connection, the two different Peer Groups identified in 2014 have been updated:

Major Italian companies comparable in terms of business

and/or best practices

PEER GROUP FTSE MIB

ITALIANCOMPANIES

Luxottica Mediaset Pirelli & C. Prysmian Saipem Snam Terna

The integration of these components will
mean that the principles of Total Rewarding
can be even more effectively applied in 2016,
through
the
appropriate
balancing
of
monetary and non-monetary tools, with the
object of increasing the satisfaction of the
beneficiaries at a sustainable cost.

The balance between the different components will also guide the Meritocratic Policy which, in 2016, will mainly focus on action on variable remuneration, reserving action on the fixed component exclusively for the highest-performing and most talented resources.

Fixed Remuneration

Variable Remuneration short term long term

In 2016 the following innovations are planned:

towards the People Strategy and the related centrality of the individual, will be based on three components, the first two typically having monetary content, and the third being linked to a broader idea of the remuneration

  • the introduction of alignment tools and flexibility in fixed remuneration
  • implementation of the MBO system with particular regard to increasing the weighting of areas connected with Performance Management (from 20% to 30%) and to setting the target bonus by pay band
  • the remodelling of the gate and performance parameters for the Chief Executive Officer, and their extension to the Executive Chairman
  • the introduction of new claw-back clauses and new rationales aligned to best practice in severance payments.

system:

Finally, when current Chief Executive Officer, Flavio Cattaneo, was appointed, it was decided to introduce a new additional bonus, to incentivise the aim of a break with the past and a company turnaround.

Individual remuneration components are examined below:

FIXED REMUNERATION

The breadth and strategic nature of the role are measured through a system of evaluation of positions, using internationally recognised and certified methods. Every year Telecom Italia checks its remuneration positioning through market benchmarks which analyse both the national and international context. The trend towards aligning fixed remuneration with the market median will be followed according to the necessary gradations. However, the Company may consider the possibility of positioning the highest-performing and most talented resources in the 3rd quartile range of reference.

Fixed remuneration alignment actions

To ensure that remuneration is gradually aligned with the market median, the following actions will be adopted:

  • disbursement of pay increases where there are positionings lower than the market benchmarks, continuity of excellent performance levels over time and consolidated individual/reputational value
  • adjustment of the Total Annual Remuneration (fixed remuneration + MBO) to the reference market, acting on the one hand on fixed remuneration, both upwards and downwards, and on the other hand on the Premium Target level of the MBO, which may go up or down depending on the fixed balance point.

Fixed remuneration flexibility tools

In addition to the remuneration alignment actions, a further form of remuneration flexibility is introduced for 2016:

temporary change in remuneration, which may take the form of a temporary departmental allowance granted where special duties are assigned, or a fixed term pay increase, for a set period at the end of which the effects cease or are consolidated

SHORT TERM VARIABLE REMUNERATION

The Short Term Incentive System (MBO)

The MBO system in 2015 included the presence of a "gate" target consisting of the company indicator (EBITDA - Net Financial Charges) applied to all participants in the plan, with the exception of the Chairman. For 2015 this target had to be achieved as a condition for the Chief Executive Officer to access the incentive, while for the remaining incentivised parties, the "gate" affected only company and not departmental targets.

In 2016 the mechanism will be altered as follows:

  • for the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, failure to achieve the minimum level of the gate target will result in the curtailment, by 50%, of the target bonus on which the evaluation of the remaining targets is calculated
  • for all the other beneficiaries the gate will remain an access condition to achieving just the company objectives.

For those reporting directly to the Executive Directors, the target values are set in continuity with 2015 up to 50% of the fixed component. For the remaining staff on incentive schemes, the target values will be set by pay band - on the basis of the complexity of the role performed - up to 30% of the fixed component.

Alignment of the target bonus will occur with due gradations, also taking into account what is specified for the purposes of adjusting the Total Annual Remuneration to the reference market.

Also for 2016, there will be Group, departmental and individual targets in the MBO system, with weightings differentiated by company Department.

In keeping with the need to give greater space to the individual targets, in 2016 the weight of the Performance Management target – introduced in 2015 for all beneficiaries of MBOs, with the exception of the Executive Directors – will increase from 20% to 30%; also for 2016, this target will be based on the overall result of the assessment, taking equal account of both individual targets and conduct in relation to the new leadership model.

Moreover, it is emphasised that, in relation to the bonus deferment mechanism, thorough its partial payment in equity and the related allocation of bonus shares, approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in April 2015, the Board of Directors on 6 August 2015, in the light of the initiatives to improve cost efficiency also with regard to the executive personnel, decided not to proceed with the implementation of the deferment plan, maintaining the original set-up, exclusively cash, of the short-term incentive. Also for 2016, while the need to rationalise labour costs persists, the policy of not proceeding with forms of deferring the short-term incentive is confirmed; the matter may be reconsidered from 2017 onwards.

Finally, during salary reviews, other variable remuneration tools may be adopted (One-off Bonus) to reward significant performance or for particularly outstanding results relating to extraordinary initiatives that cannot be classified as ordinary activities.

LONG TERM VARIABLE REMUNERATION

2014-2016 Stock Options Plan

Linked to the achievement of the Performance Objectives in the three-year period 2014-2016, the Plan was implemented in 2014 and consists of the allocation of options to purchase shares in the future at a predetermined price not lower than € 0.94 per ordinary share. This price was established by the Board of Directors, in line with the market price of the share at the time of initial allocation of the options, calculated as the average of the official quoted price of the Share on the electronic share market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., in the month preceding the resolution. For subsequent allocations, the strike price will be the higher of the price established at first allocation (€0.94) and the price resulting from the application of the same criteria at the time the options in question are allocated.

The options cannot be exercised before the expiry of a three-year vesting period, and become exercisable only if a performance condition is satisfied, measured by means of the two following parameters:

The degree of achievement of the performance targets determines the quantity of share options exercisable in variable measure up to 150% of the target. Once vested, the rights can be exercised for a period of 3 years.

Chronology of 2014-2016 Stock Option Plan

In terms of pay opportunities, the plan covers the entire three-year period. The launch of a new long-term plan can be considered from 2017 onwards.

Special Award

When current Chief Executive Officer, Flavio Cattaneo, was appointed (30 March 2016), it was decided to introduce a new additional bonus, to incentivise the company turnaround.

The Special Award provides for the payment of an annual bonus amounting to a total of a maximum of 5.5% of the difference between the result achieved and the planned result, only for over-performance in each of the years 2016, 2017, 2018 e 2019 on the targets of Group EBITDA, Opex Reduction and Net Financial Position (with weights of 50%, 25% and 25% respectively), as defined in the 2016-2018 Business Plan, and using for 2019 the same values as the plan for the 2018 financial year, to be set aside year on the date of the financial statements for the year of reference. This bonus will be calculated on the same corporate perimeter, and applying the same accounting, fiscal, tax, economic and financial criteria in force at the time the 2016-2018 Strategic Plan was approved, net of payments that could not be foreseen deriving from the management prior to 30 March 2016 (the date of appointment of Mr Cattaneo as Chief Executive Officer) or of changes to the share capital that affect the results of the calculation parameters. 4% of the aforementioned difference will be reserved for the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, while the remaining maximum 1.5% will be destined to benefit other Company managers, to be identified by the Chief Executive Officer, who will also define the amount of the bonus attributed to each.

Each annual bonus will consist of 80% in Telecom Italia ordinary shares (the number of which will be determined by dividing 80% of the bonus accrued in the financial year by the normal value of the shares on the date the performance is ascertained) and 20% in cash. After approval by the Board of the 2019 financial statements (year 2020), the sum of the annual bonuses accrued over the whole incentive period will be paid, with a maximum gross total amount (for the whole four year period of reference, and relative to 5.5% of the over-performance) of 55,000,000 euros. The claw-back mechanisms in force at the time shall be applicable to both the cash and equity components of the bonus actually paid.

By way of example, given a difference in a single financial year of one billion euros between final EBITDA and the target forecast for the year in the 2016-2018 plan (using for 2019 the same values as the plan for the 2018 financial year), 27,500,000 euros will be set aside for the Special Award, of which 22,000,000 euros in shares and 5,500,000 euros in cash will be paid respectively in 2020; if the same difference should be seen in Opex reduction or improvement in the Net Financial Position, the bonus would be 13,750,000 euros, to be paid (in 2020) for 11,000,000 euros in shares and the remaining 2,750,000 euros in cash. The 55,000,000 euros maximum amount therefore represents a total minimum overperformance in the four years of the incentive period, alternatively 2 billion euros in higher EBITDA (weight 50%), 4 billion euros' reduction in Opex (weight 25%), 4 billion euros' improvement in Net Financial Position (weight 25%), or a combination of the three items for amounts singularly lower, but in any case respecting the following condition:

∑( + 25% + 25% ) ≥ € 1 =1

with t representing the years from 2016 to 2019.

Payment of the maximum amount of Special Award would mean that economic and equity targets significantly higher than those in the 2016-2018 business plan announced have been achieved, and it is reasonable to expect that this would result in an increase in the value of the company and its Market capitalization, from which all the Group's shareholders would benefit. An increase in the Group EBITDA would be reflected in an increase in the value of the company by means of the Company valuation multiple (currently approximately 6x), just as, at an equal company value, a reduction in net indebtedness would translate into an increase in the value of the shares. At the same time, the payment of the deferred bonus at the end of the fourth year (with payment only in 2020), almost entirely (80%) in financial instruments valued

based on their normal value at the time the over-performance was ascertained, constitutes an incentive to create value in the medium-long term, disincentivising short term solutions and bringing the benefiting management's interest in the bonus in line with the shareholders' interest in an appreciation of the share price.

The equity component of the Special Award represents a compensation plan with the allocation of financial instruments, subject to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting - with limited and exclusive reference to the possibility of payment of said component in the form of shares: if recourse to shares is not authorised, the bonus will be paid entirely in cash. -The Shareholders' Meeting will also be called on to resolve on section I of this remuneration report.

The table below gives a simulation of the method for calculating the Special Award for the Chief Executive Officer and the remaining managers benefiting from the initiative. The values are fictitious and presume that the targets for EBITDA, Opex and NFP are constant for all the years of the 2016-2018 plan.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BENEFITS AND WELFARE AREA

The operation of developing benefits and welfare will also depend on moving financial resources from the monetary remuneration components.

In particular it is emphasised that:

Benefits are resources and services put at the disposal of the beneficiaries, which are instrumental in ensuring optimum management of their time and improving corporate/family well-being; these services generate economic value distinct both from the fixed remuneration and from the other forms of variable remuneration

Welfare is a system of non-monetary services aimed at increasing the individual and family welfare of all employees.

The complete system will be reorganised taking account of the following principles:

Taxation

the identification of goods and services will favour all the institutions that benefit from tax and contribution concessions which allow the company to sustain a lower cost and the employee to receive a higher value

Flexibility

greater flexibility will be sought in the use of individual institutions both within the monetary components and, above all, in the area of individual benefits

Accessibility

the ability of all company personnel to access a series of benefits hitherto restricted to certain professional categories will be progressively encouraged and the area of the services will be expanded

Sustainability

economic sustainability constraints will in any case be guaranteed, including by allocating financial resources from the monetary remuneration components to the benefits and welfare area.

SEVERANCE PAY

Regarding the fee for serving as Executive Director, the Board of Directors has decided, as policy, to limit severance pay to a lump sum of no more than 24 months' remuneration.

For Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, there are the applicable payments set out in law, in the Collective Employment Agreement and supplementary company agreements.

CLAWBACK CLAUSE

Starting from the 2016 MBO cycle, a contractual clawback mechanism is introduced which will enable the recovery of sums of variable remuneration allocated to Executive Directors and Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities. The clawback clause may be activated in the three years after the disbursement of payments in cases where said disbursement occurs following wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Executives concerned or in the case of an error in the formulation of the data, which resulted in the restatement of the Financial Statements.

BROAD-BASED SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN

In 2014, Telecom Italia launched a Broad-based Share Ownership Plan (PAD) aimed at all the permanent employees of Telecom Italia S.p.A. and its Italian-registered subsidiaries. The Plan provided for the free allocation, in August 2015 - 12 months after the subscription of shares at a discount - of one free share for every 3 subscribed for payment to all employees in continuing employment who have kept possession of the shares.

In 2016, based on the actual level of staff loyalty which is appraised, the interest in renewing the initiative from 2017 shall be gauged.

REMUNERATION OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, THE KEY MANAGERS WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

REMUNERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

The structuring of the remuneration package of the Chairman, determined in 2014 and as reviewed by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2016, at the proposal and with the approval of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, envisages:

Fixed component

The remuneration for the functions of Chairman is set at the gross sum of 700,000.00 euros per annum. The Chairman does not receive fixed remuneration for the position of Director (pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection I of the Italian Civil Code).

Short term variable component (MBO)

This is correlated with the achievement in the year of the objectives set annually by the Board of Directors. By resolution of the Board of Directors on 27 April 2016, to apply to the 2016 financial year, the target measure (100%) is set at 700,000.000 euros, gross (200,000.00 euros, gross for the 2015 financial year). A parametrised scale is adopted which awards a bonus of 50% of the target if the minimum level is achieved, up to a bonus of 150% of the target if the maximum level is achieved.

Target Weight Min vs Tgt Tgt: Max vs Tgt
TIM Group EBITDA (Gate) 20% -5% budget +10%
TIM Group Net Financial Position 20% +1% budget -5%
TIM Group Service Revenues 20% -2% budget +2%

expectations

Failure to achieve the minimum level of the gate target will result in the curtailment, by 50%, of the target bonus on which the evaluation of the remaining targets is calculated.

The pay-out scale is shown below, assuming that all objectives respectively reach the level below minimum, the minimum level, the target level and the maximum level.

Each target is measured individually, so different combinations are possible of the levels of achievement of the targets; to assess these, the linear interpolation mechanism will be adopted.

Performance Level Parametrised
Scale
Value of incentive in
amount
Target below Minimum Level 0% 0
Target at Minimum Level 50% € 350,000
Target at Target Level 100% €700,000
Target at Maximum Level 150% € 1,050,000

The clause to claw-back the sums paid out may be activated in the three years following payment, as set out in the policy described above.

Benefits

In relation to the office as director, the Chairman has been allocated the following benefits: supplementary pension cover, through payment into a supplementary pension fund of an amount equal to 10% of the fixed fee; work-related and non-work-related accident cover, life insurance, permanent invalidity benefit due to illness; health insurance cover through taking out a specific policy; use of a company car for mixed use in accordance with current company policies; annual check-up. Like all the Company's management, the Chairman is covered by a "professional risks policy", known as a Directors & Officers policy.

Severance pay

In the event of early termination of the Directorship at the initiative of the Company and/or if asked to resign by the Board of Directors in the absence of just cause, the Chairman shall have the right to receive the fixed remuneration established for the office (pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection 3 of the Italian Civil Code) otherwise due until the end of the term of office (at the time of approval of the 2016 financial statements: one year's salary). Moreover, unless otherwise resolved by the Board of Directors, the Chairman shall also have the right to receive an additional amount, calculated on the remaining value in annual amounts (or fractions of annual amounts) equal to the average of the amounts actually received, as variable short term fee, until the actual date of cessation of the office of director.

A similar settlement will be made in case of resignation due to revocation, reduction or modification substantially worsening the powers granted.

Board of Statutory Auditors' considerations on the Chairman's compensation package

The Board of Statutory Auditors felt it could not approve the proposal for a significant component of the variable part of the remuneration to be conditional on the achievement of economic objectives that - in its view - are not immediately ascribable to the exercise of the powers of the Chairman.

Hence the control body did not approve of the change to the compensation package for the Executive Chairman, resolved by the Board of Directors in its meeting on 27 April 2016.

Nevertheless, the Board of Directors decided that the full operational alignment of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in this last year of their term of office, also in terms of the structuring of their remuneration packages and the related incentive targets, was in the interests of the Company, since it linked the action of the Executive Chairman with the company results, promoting the turnaround. Briefly, the change introduced (which was, moreover, in line with the results of a specific benchmarking exercise carried out by the consultant to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) is related to the increased involvement of the Executive Chairman in the achievement of the strategic objectives pursued by Telecom Italia.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REMUNERATION

Below is a description of the remuneration package decided by the Board of Directors (at the proposal and with the approval of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, after specific negotiations) on 30 march 2016, when conferring the role of Chief Executive Officer on Flavio Cattaneo, one of the Directors.

In relation to the loss of opportunity caused to him due to the early cessation of his previous employment, it was agreed that Mr Cattaneo would also be paid a sign-up bonus of 2,500,000 euros, gross, in line with corporate practice in such situations. Said sum would be repayable if Mr Cattaneo should resign before 30 April 2017, unless the resignation is for just cause (including resignation caused by revocation or reduction of powers, extension of powers to other directors, or change of control).

The compensation package of the serving Chief Executive Office is substantially the same as his predecessor, and is made up as follows:

Gross annual fixed remuneration

An annual gross sum of € 1,400,000 euros, gross, has been set for the management employment, with the duties of General Manager.

Fixed remuneration (pursuant to article 2389 subsection I of the Italian Civil Code)

The Chief Executive Officer does not receive fixed compensation for the office of Director (pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection 1 of the Italian Civil Code).

Short Term Variable Component (pursuant to art. 2389 subsection III of the Italian Civil Code)

For each year of service correlated with the achievement of the targets set annually by the Board of Directors, in the target amount (100%) of 1,400,000 euros gross; a parametrised scale will be applied that awards a bonus of 50% of the target amount if the minimum level is achieved, up to a bonus equal to 150% of the target amount if the maximum level is achieved.

Below is the pay-out scale, assuming that all targets respectively reach the level below minimum, the minimum level, the target level and the maximum level. Each target is measured individually, so different combinations are possible of the levels of achievement of the targets; to assess these, the linear interpolation mechanism will be adopted.

Performance Level Parametrised

All targets at Minimum Level 50% €700,000
All targets at Target Level 100% € 1.400.000
All targets at Maximum Level 150% € 2.100.000

The 2016 MBO cycle is linked to the achievement of the following targets:

Targets Weight Min vs Tgt Tgt: Max vs Tgt

Report on Remuneration Section I – Remuneration Policy 2016 15

For 2016, the "gate" mechanism for payment of the bonus used for 2015 for the Chief Executive Office in post at that time, has been amended: failure to achieve the minimum level of the gate objective will result in the curtailment of the target bonus by 50% on which achievement of the remaining targets will be calculated.

The clause to claw-back the sums paid out may be activated in the three years following payment, as set out in the policy described above.

In case of early termination as a good leaver (namely, after revocation, dismissal or non-renewal in the absence of just cause, or resignation for just cause or for revocation or reduction of powers, or their extension to other directors or caused by changes in control, and any operation that produces the same substantial effect) the bonus for the fraction of a year will be payable.

Long term variable component

Upon appointment, the Chief Executive Officer was allocated options under the 2014-2016 Stock Options Plan, described above, payable on the third bonus year, for a target value of 100% of fixed remuneration up to a maximum of 150% of the target, with a strike price of 0.99 euros per share, as specified in the Regulations of the initiative. The plan assigns the Chief Executive Officer 4,468,085 options (if targets are achieved at target level) which can be increased up to a maximum of 6,702,127 options (if targets are achieved at maximum level). His participation in the Stock Option Plan for the 2017-2019 three year period (or other long term incentive plan,

at conditions no less favourable than those envisaged in the current plan), or other monetary incentive of equal economic content.

In case of early termination as a good leaver, the Chief Executive Officer will maintain the stock options in place at the moment of termination (or will benefit from a substantially equivalent monetary payment).

Special Award

Always within the maximum total value of the initiative, set at 55,000,000 euros (including the component destined to reward the managers identified by the Chief Executive Officer), 4% of the over-performance in the consolidated results for the 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 years compared to the consolidated targets of EBITDA (weight 50%), Opex reduction (weight 25%) and Net Financial Position (weight 25%), as specified in the 2016- 2018 Business Plan, and applying the 2018 targets for 2019 will be reserved for the Chief Executive Officer.

Should Mr Cattaneo cease to hold the office of Chief Executive Officer (also after non-appointment as a member of the Board of Directors when the board is renewed), as a good leaver before payment of any bonus, he will be paid (i) the annual bonuses already accrued, and (ii) the Special Award he would have been entitled to, according to a linear projection to the end of the incentive period of the mean results already obtained, or, in the first year of his mandate and in the absence of historical data, taking as reference the results attested in the latest approved quarterly report.

The claw-back mechanisms in force at the time shall be applicable to both the cash and equity components of the bonus actually paid.

Severance pay

In case of termination of the employment and directorship as a good leaver an agreed amount will be paid (distinct from and in addition to the MBO and the stock option plans and the Special Award) equal to the sum of the payment in lieu of notice, as specified in the collective employment agreement, and severance pay equal to 24 months' salary, considering both the fixed gross annual remuneration and the mean of the amounts received or accrued as MBO in the preceding 36 months (or lesser period of duration of employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company).

Benefits

In relation to the managerial role, the Chief Executive Officer enjoys the benefits specified for the management of the Company (health insurance cover through the Telecom Italia Group Executive supplementary healthcare assistance; supplementary pension cover through membership of the Telecom Italia Group Executive complementary pension fund; insurance cover for work-related and non-work-related accidents, life and invalidity benefit due to illness; a company car for mixed use; check-up). Like all the Company's management, the Chief Executive Officer is covered by a "professional risks policy", known as a Directors & Officers policy.

Board of Statutory Auditors' considerations on the Chief Executive Officer's compensation package

The Board of Statutory Auditors' report to the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to art. 153 of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 contained some references to remuneration issues. Specifically, in the document it is stated that the Board of Statutory Auditors monitored "the process for the replacement of the Chief Executive Officer, attending the meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee aimed at identifying the new Chief Executive Officer and defining his compensation, ensuring the release of the opinion envisaged by Art. 2389, subsection 3 of the Italian Civil Code". In this regard, "the Board of Statutory Auditors expressed an unfavourable opinion, pursuant to article 2389, subsection 3, of the Italian Civil Code, because of the problems regarding the manner in which the variable part of the remuneration (special award) is determined, particularly in relation to the market benchmarks and to it being determined exclusively on the basis of improvements relative to the 2016-2018 Business Plan previously approved by the Board of Directors on 15 February 2016."

With regard to the above, the shareholders' attention – for transparency – is brought to the full minutes of the opinion given by the Board of Statutory Auditors during the board meeting of 30 March 2016, at which the topic was discussed, as reported by its Chairman: "the control body was required to express its opinion prior to the resolution to be taken by the Board of Directors on the compensation for the special office of Chief Executive Officer. He reported that the Boards of Statutory Auditors had therefore examined the compensation package of the new Chief Executive Officer, and did not agree with the Special Award component, insofar as it substantially means that a very significant part of the overall compensation package would be determined by improvements and further synergies relating to a business plan that has already been approved: the Board of Statutory Auditors considered that the correct solution would be for the new Chief Executive Officer to directly prepare a reviewed and amended business plan, on the basis of which the Board of Directors would determine the targets to which the variable part of the compensation would be linked. For this reason, the Board of Statutory Auditors expressed a negative opinion of the proposed package".

After a specific discussion, which concerned the architecture of the bonus and the elements of the benchmark considered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee in the formulation of the proposal, and in any case the merit of the decision to be taken, the Board of Directors did not comply with this (non-binding according to law) opinion, approving the proposal.

The report of the Board of Statutory Auditors also points out that, from the supervisory and control activity performed by the Board of Statutory Auditors, "no significant facts that should be mentioned in the Report to the Shareholders' Meeting have emerged, except for the issues encountered during the procedure adopted by the Company for the approval of the compensation package for the Chief Executive Officer appointed by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2016. In particular, the Board of Statutory Auditors has ascertained that it was a transaction with related parties of minor importance (not excluded from application, pursuant to the combined provisions of art. 18, letter c) of the Telecom Italia S.p.A. Procedure for performing transactions with related parties and art. 13, subsection 3, letter b), of Consob Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010). The Board of Statutory Auditors, while taking into account and agreeing that the procedure for appointing the new Chief Executive Officer needed to be carried out and concluded in a short space of time, considers that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors were not provided with full and adequate information suitably in advance, as provided for under art. 7, subsection 1, letter c) of the aforementioned Regulation. The Board of Statutory Auditors, as regards the economic conditions agreed contractually, also considers that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee did not provide the Board of Directors with an adequately reasoned opinion - pursuant to art. 7, subsection 1, letter a) of the above Regulation and art. 35 of the Telecom Italia Procedure for performing transactions with related parties - on the Company's interest in performing the transaction and on the advantage and substantial correctness of the related conditions. The Board of Statutory Auditors consequently informed Consob of the irregularities encountered pursuant to art. 149, subsection 3, legislative decree 58/1998."

Irrespective of the assessment the control authority will give to the report, it is observed that the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, pursuant to the corporate procedure for carrying out transactions with related parties, is responsible for the evaluation of the Company's interest, the advantages and the substantial correctness of the conditions of those particular transactions with related parties that the Corporate Governance Principles of Telecom Italia attribute to its authority, such as the proposals on the remuneration of the executive directors.

With reference to the finding that the Committee was allegedly not "provided" with full and adequate information on the transaction suitably in advance, the Company specified that the Committee itself "performed" the transaction, in the sense that it directly defined, with the support of consultants of its choice, the package for the future Chief Executive Officer. And precisely because it "performed" the transaction (concluding the part pertaining to it on the evening of 29 March 2016), the Committee itself directly proposed it to the full board (the next morning: 30 March 2016). It is clear that in such a context the expression of the "opinion" required by the regulations on transactions with related parties could, in practice, only manifest itself in the presentation and arguments for the Board of the proposal developed by the Committee. The Committee promptly took measures through its various members and with the help of experts, focusing on the Company's interest in its completion, the advantages and the substantial correctness of the relative conditions, which are the three evaluation profiles identified in Consob Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010. In short, the rationale of the proposal can be summarized as follows:

  • Telecom Italia urgently needs change and a turnaround and Mr Cattaneo has been identified as the right person to achieve this (as also confirmed by an independent executive search company especially chosen by the Committee itself to support its evaluations: Korn Ferry);
  • the congruity of the structure and of the economic terms of the transaction (the remuneration package negotiated to meet the requests made by Mr Cattaneo as a condition for acceptance of the appointment) was verified on the basis of a benchmark analysis (performed by another independent advisor: Mercer), combined with an estimate of the indirect benefit on the stock market (the multiples being equal) which affect the planned bonuses;
  • the financial conditions of the transaction, which was defined in full compliance with the applicable procedures (procedural correctness profile), are therefore correct.

As for the topic of the prior notice and adequateness of the information for the full board, this can only be judged by the board itself and/or in any case its individual members, and at the aforementioned meeting of 30 March 2016 no remarks were made on the presumed delay or possible unsuitability of the information received. The assessment of the suitability of the prior notice was reasonably related to the urgency and the singularity of the decision, and therefore to the extraordinary nature of the circumstances, enabling rapid and effective solution to the question of appointing the Chief Executive Officer. On the other hand, the proposal was analytically presented and discussed, and during the meeting each participant was able to ask questions, express opinions and constructively participate in the debate without anyone complaining about a lack of information.

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee in fact, as per Consob Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010, performed a complete and in-depth analysis with the full board on the Company's interest in the hypothesized transaction, and on the relative advantages and substantial correctness. All the considerations made at the Committee meetings and by the Committee unanimously agreed on and approved (i.e. all the arguments supporting the operation) were duly explained to the full board, both by the consultants who participated in the Committee meeting, and by its members.

To summarize, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee first and then the Board of Directors made their decisions being fully aware and informed, in respect of the regulations the Company has set itself and in compliance with Consob regulations. They submit them through this report for the examination and judgement of the shareholders.

The structuring of the remuneration package for 2016 for Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, excluding the Chairman and the Chief Executive officer, is described below:

Fixed component

The strategy for 2016 is basically to maintain remuneration in line with the market, while providing for selective criteria for alignment of the fixed remuneration.

Short Term Variable Component (MBO)

The 2016 incentive plan is linked to the achievement of a combination of predefined targets:

  • a) company targets generally of an economic and financial nature;
  • b) departmental targets related to the specific activities of the Department;
  • c) the Performance Management target, the weight of which is increased to 30% from 20% in 2015, based in any event on the overall result of the assessment from the new Performance Management system. More specifically, the new system will consider in equal measure both individual targets and conduct in relation to the new leadership model, assessed in multi-rater mode, i.e. by the direct manager, colleagues and collaborators.

The division of the corporate and departmental targets varies according to the organisational structure to which they belong, as described in the table:

Structures Targets Weight
GROUP/COMPANY 40%
COMMERCIAL + OPERATIONS
Structures
DEPARTMENTAL 30%
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT 30%
GROUP/COMPANY 50%
STAFF structures DEPARTMENTAL 20%
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT 30%
GROUP/COMPANY 30%
Structures reporting to the BoD DEPARTMENTAL 40%
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT 30%

Report on Remuneration Section I – Remuneration Policy 2016 19

Translation for the reader's convenience only. In case of inconsistency, the italian text will prevail

The achievement of the "gate" target constitutes, in continuity with 2015, an absolute access condition for the accrual of the incentive on the rest of the assigned company targets.

The MBO system for Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities provides an annual target value up to a maximum of 50% of fixed remuneration.

The scale for pay-outs (subject to claw-back) is shown below, assuming that all targets respectively reach the level below minimum, the minimum level, the target level and the maximum level. Each target is measured individually, so different combinations are possible of the levels of achievement of the targets; to assess these, the linear interpolation mechanism will be adopted.

Performance Level Parametrised
Scale
All targets below the minimum level 0%
All targets at Minimum Level 70%
All targets at Target Level 100%
All targets at Maximum Level 140%

Long Term Variable Component

As already specified, the 2014-2016 Stock Option Plan is the long-term incentive instrument connected to the achievement of the Performance targets for the three year period 2014-2016; the target value of the options is 50% of the fixed remuneration for each year of the incentive. The premium can reach a maximum of 150% of the target assigned.

Special Award

Managers with Strategic Responsibilities may be among the beneficiaries of the previously described Special Award (subject to claw-back).

Benefits

Benefits are granted similar to those provided for all other company managers: company car for mixed use, insurance policies (workplace accidents, life and invalidity caused by illness), complementary health insurance cover, complementary pension fund and check-up.

Like all the Company's management, the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities are covered by a "professional risks policy", known as a Directors & Officers policy, covering the civil liability of the Directors and the Directors of companies controlled by Telecom Italia as well as the Directors & Officers of companies not controlled by Telecom Italia who are appointed by the latter or by its subsidiaries.

Severance pay

Settlements applicable by virtue of legal provisions, the national collective labour agreement and supplementary company agreements, are specified (always excluding cases of dismissal with just cause).

REMUNERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Shareholders' Meeting on 15 December 2015, after the change to the composition of the Board of Directors from13 to 17 Directors, proportionally increased the total remuneration of the Board of Directors, pursuant to art. 2389, subsection 1 of the Italian Civil Code, from 1,900,000 to 2,484,615 euros, gross.

The Board of Directors divided up the remuneration thus established, allocating 110,000 euros, gross per annum to each Director (excluding the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer).

The following additional compensation will be also paid to the Directors who are members of Committees:

SECTION II – IMPLEMENTATION OF REMUNERATION POLICIES AND COMPENSATION PAID IN 2015

This section describes the remuneration interventions performed in 2015 in favour of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities. The interventions performed on the following remuneration items are taken into account:

  • Fixed compensation
  • Short term variable compensation
  • Long term variable compensation

Furthermore, for completeness, details are provided of the economic treatment awarded by the Board of Directors (with the supporting opinion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) to former Chief Executive Officer Marco Patuano upon receipt of his resignation effective from 22 March 2016.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

The fixed compensation for the Chairman, Mr. Giuseppe Recchi, consisted of the emolument pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection III of the Italian Civil Code, in the amount of 700,000 euros per year. The Chairman has not received fixed compensation for the position of Director (pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection I of the Italian Civil Code).

The table below illustrates in detail the degree of achievement of the targets assigned for the 2015 MBO short-term variable component and the results of the previous year (characterised by a different approach to the incentive targets).

According to the percentage achievement given above, the Chairman has been paid a bonus for the short-term variable component in the amount of 202,720.00 euros gross.

No long-term variable compensation was paid to the Chairman.

The detailed analysis of the compensation received during the period for which he held the office (01.01.2015/31.12.2015) is shown in Table 1 of the second part of this section.

CEO

In 2015 the fixed compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, Marco Patuano, comprises the gross annual remuneration in respect of his contract of employment, in the sum of 1,400,000 euros gross per annum. During 2015 this compensation was not changed. The Chief Executive Officer has not received fixed compensation for the position of Director (pursuant to Art. 2389, subsection I of the Italian Civil Code).

With reference to the 2015 MBO Plan, the Board of Directors of Telecom Italia, in light of the recent cost cutting initiatives that also regarded the management of the company, resolved, on 6 August 2015, to not proceed to implement the architecture of deferral and partial settlement in equity (with bonus mechanism) authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting on 20 May 2015, maintaining the original cash approach of the short term bonus scheme. Consequently, the biannual allocation in shares of half of the accrued bonus, with subsequent award of bonus shares, was not proceeded with.

The table below illustrates in detail the degree of achievement of the targets assigned for the 2015 MBO short-term variable component and the results of the previous period.

According to the percentage of 2015 achievement given above, the Chief Executive Officer has been paid a bonus for the short-term variable component in the amount of 1,019,200.00 euros gross.

The detailed analysis of the compensation received during the period for which he held the office (01.01.2015/31.12.2015) is shown in Table 1 of the second part of this section.

Termination of the employment and directorship of Mr Marco Patuano

On 22 March 2016 the Company and Marco Patuano reached an agreement to terminate his employment and directorship, with immediate effect.

In addition to the amount described in the previous paragraph, accrued as variable emolument for the 2015 MBO (subject, pursuant to the agreement itself, to a claw-back mechanism, although only introduced in the current financial year 2016), the agreement awarded the total sum of 6,000,000 euros gross - paid on 31 March - made up as follows:

  • 1,235,000 euros gross, for the cessation of his directorship; this amount based on the contractually provided severance pay - is the mean of the finalised MBO earned during his mandate to cover the 13 months to go before the natural end of his mandate.
  • 4,765,000 euros gross, for the cessation of his employment as senior executive; this amount is equal to the cost of notice, as provided in the collective employment agreement in case of unilateral termination of employment, plus the penalty specified in articles 19 and 22 of the applicable Collective Employment Agreement.

The agreement signed does not include a non-competition agreement.

The amount agreed on is in line with the remuneration policy and the agreements in place with Marco Patuano; before its approval by the Board of Directors the transaction was examined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee - the competent body pursuant to the Company's Procedure for performing transactions with related parties - which expressed its reasoned favourable opinion on the conclusion of the agreement.

After his resignation became effective, Mr Marco Patuano's rights to participate in the 2014-2016 Stock Option Plan expired.

2 In 2013, the "gate" target to gain access to the bonus was not reached

KEY MANAGERS WITH STRATEGIC RESPONSIBILITIES

The fixed compensation of the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities comprises the gross annual remuneration in respect of their employment.

With reference to the deferred 2015 MBO Plan, as for the Chief Executive Officer, the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities will also receive only the bonus in cash.

The table below shows the average pay out for the 2015 MBO short-term variable component compared with the average values for the previous period:

For the Key Managers with Strategic Responsibilities, no long-term variable compensation relating to the 2012 - 2014 LTI Plan was paid in 2015, because of the failure to achieve the two targets of relative TSR and Cumulated Free Cash Flow defined for the three-year incentive period.

Total compensation is shown in Table 1 of the second part of this section.

COMPENSATION PAID IN 2015
