AMENDED AND RESTATED DEPOSIT AGREEMENT dated as of
November 16, 2017 (the Deposit Agreement) among TIM S.p.A. and its successors (the Company), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as depositary hereunder (the Depositary), and all holders from time to time of American
Depositary Receipts issued hereunder (ADRs) evidencing American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing deposited Shares (defined below). The Company hereby appoints the Depositary as depositary for the Deposited Securities and
hereby authorizes and directs the Depositary to act in accordance with the terms set forth in this Deposit Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 or elsewhere in this Deposit Agreement.  W I T N E S S E T H  WHEREAS, the Company and the
Depositary entered into a Deposit Agreement dated as of July 17, 2003 (the Old Deposit Agreement) for the purposes set forth therein, for the creation of American depositary shares representing the Shares so deposited and for the
execution and delivery of American depositary receipts (Old Receipts) evidencing the American depositary shares;  WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Old Deposit Agreement, the Company and the Depositary wish to amend and restate the Old Deposit
Agreement and the Old Receipts;  NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises, subject to Section 20 hereof, the parties hereto hereby amend and restate the Old Deposit Agreement and the Old Receipts in their entirety as follows:  1. Certain Definitions.  (a) ADR Register
is defined in paragraph (3) of the form of ADR.  (b) ADRs mean the American Depositary Receipts executed and delivered hereunder. ADRs may be either in physical certificated form or Direct Registration ADRs
(as hereinafter defined). ADRs in physical certificated form, and the terms and conditions governing the Direct Registration ADRs, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the form of ADR). The term
Direct Registration ADR means an ADR, the ownership of which is recorded on the Direct Registration System. References to ADRs shall include certificated ADRs and Direct Registration ADRs, unless the context otherwise
requires. The form of ADR is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof; the provisions of the form of ADR shall be binding upon the parties hereto.  (c) Subject to paragraph (13) of the form of ADR, each ADS evidenced by an ADR represents
the right to receive ten Shares and a pro rata share in any other Deposited Securities.  (d) Custodian means the agent or agents of the Depositary (singly or collectively, as the context requires) and any additional or substitute Custodian appointed
pursuant to Section 9.  (e) The terms deliver, execute, issue,
register, surrender, transfer or cancel, when used with respect to (i) Shares refers, where the context requires, to an entry or entries or an electronic transfer or
transfers in an account or accounts maintained by institutions authorized under applicable law to effect transfers of securities (which may include Monte Titoli S.p.A., the Italian centralized security depository) and not to the physical transfer of
certificates representing the Shares and (ii) Direct Registration ADRs, shall refer to an entry or entries or an electronic transfer or transfers in the Direct Registration System, and, when used with respect to ADRs in physical certificated
form, shall refer to the physical delivery, execution, issuance, registration, surrender, transfer or cancellation of certificates representing the ADRs.  (f) Delivery Order is defined in Section 3.  (g) Deposited
Securities as of any time means all Shares at such time deposited under this Deposit Agreement and any and all other Shares, securities, property and cash at such time held by the Depositary or the Custodian in respect or in lieu of such
deposited Shares and other Shares, securities, property and cash.  (h) Direct Registration System means the system for the uncertificated registration of ownership of securities established by The Depository Trust Company
(DTC) and utilized by the Depositary pursuant to which the Depositary may record the ownership of ADRs without the issuance of a certificate, which ownership shall be evidenced by periodic statements issued by the Depositary to the
Holders entitled thereto. For purposes hereof, the Direct Registration System shall include access to the Profile Modification System maintained by DTC which provides for automated transfer of ownership between DTC and the Depositary.  1

whose name an ADR is registered on the ADR Register.  (j) Securities Act of 1933 means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended.  (k) Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 means the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as from time to time amended.  (l) Shares mean the ordinary shares, as amended or redenominated from time to time, of the

the Depositary in accordance with its customary practices in its American depositary receipt business, or at the request of the Company typewritten and photocopied on plain or safety paper, and shall be substantially in the form set forth in the
form of ADR, with such changes as may be required by the Depositary or the Company to comply with their obligations hereunder, any applicable law, regulation or usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular
ADRs are subject. ADRs may be issued in denominations of any number of ADSs. ADRs in certificated form shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. ADRs in certificated form

this Deposit Agreement and of the form of ADR, regardless of whether their ADRs are Direct Registration ADRs or certificated ADRs.  3. Deposit of Shares. In connection with the deposit of Shares hereunder, the Depositary or the Custodian
may require the following in a form satisfactory to it: (a) a written order directing the Depositary to issue to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons designated in such order a Direct Registration ADR or ADRs evidencing the
number of ADSs representing such deposited Shares (a Delivery Order); (b) proper endorsements or duly executed instruments of transfer in respect of such deposited Shares; (c) instruments assigning to the Depositary, the
Custodian or a nominee of either any distribution on or in respect of such deposited Shares or indemnity therefor; and (d) proxies entitling the Depositary or the Custodian to vote such deposited Shares. As soon as practicable after the
Custodian receives Deposited Securities pursuant to any such deposit or pursuant to paragraph (10) or (13) of the form of ADR, the Custodian shall present such Deposited Securities for registration of transfer into the name of the
Depositary, the Custodian or a nominee of either, to the extent such registration is practicable, at the cost and expense of the person making such deposit (or for whose benefit such deposit is made) and shall obtain evidence satisfactory to it of
such registration. Deposited Securities shall be held by the Custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary for the benefit of Holders of ADRs (to the extent not prohibited by law) at such place or places and in such manner as the
Depositary shall determine. Deposited Securities may be delivered by the Custodian to any person only under the circumstances expressly contemplated in this Deposit Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of or governing the Shares make
delivery of certificates therefor impracticable, Shares may be deposited hereunder by such delivery thereof as the Depositary or the Custodian may reasonably accept, including, without limitation, by causing them to be credited to an account
maintained by the Custodian for such purpose with the Company or an accredited intermediary, such as a bank, acting as a registrar for the Shares, together with delivery of the documents, payments and Delivery Order referred to herein to the
Custodian or the Depositary.  4. Issue of ADRs. After any such deposit of Shares, the Custodian shall notify the Depositary
of such deposit and of the information contained in any related Delivery Order by letter, first class airmail postage prepaid, or, at the request, risk and expense of the person making the deposit, by SWIFT, cable, telex or facsimile transmission.
After receiving such notice from the Custodian, the Depositary, subject to this Deposit Agreement, shall properly issue at the Transfer Office, to or upon the order of any person named in such notice, an ADR or ADRs registered as requested and
evidencing the aggregate ADSs to which such person is entitled.  2

5. Distributions on Deposited Securities. To the
extent that the Depositary determines in its discretion that any distribution pursuant to paragraph (10) of the form of ADR is not practicable with respect to any Holder, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company if practicable,
make such distribution as it so deems practicable, including the distribution of foreign currency, securities or property (or appropriate documents evidencing the right to receive foreign currency, securities or property) or the retention thereof as
Deposited Securities with respect to such Holders ADRs (without liability for interest thereon or the investment thereof).  6. Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. In connection with any surrender of an ADR for withdrawal of the
Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced thereby, the Depositary may require proper endorsement in blank of such ADR (or duly executed instruments of transfer thereof in blank) and the Holders written order directing the
Depositary to cause the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such ADR to be withdrawn and delivered to, or upon the written order of, any person designated in such order (a Withdrawal Order). Directions from the
Depositary to the Custodian to deliver Deposited Securities shall be given by letter, first class airmail postage prepaid, or, at the request, risk and expense of the Holder, by SWIFT, cable, telex or facsimile transmission. Delivery of Deposited
Securities may be made by the delivery of certificates (which, if required by law shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by properly executed instruments of transfer or, if such certificates may be registered, registered in the name of such
Holder or as ordered by such Holder in any Withdrawal Order) or by such other means as the Depositary may deem practicable, including, without limitation, by transfer of record ownership thereof to an account designated in the Withdrawal Order
maintained either by the Company or an accredited intermediary, such as a bank, acting as a registrar for the Deposited Securities.  7. Substitution of ADRs. The Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Direct Registration ADR in
exchange and substitution for any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen certificated ADR upon cancellation thereof or in lieu of and in substitution for such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen certificated ADR, unless the Depositary has notice that
such ADR has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, upon the Holder thereof filing with the Depositary a request for such execution and delivery and a sufficient indemnity bond and satisfying any other reasonable requirements imposed by the
Depositary.  8.
Cancellation and Destruction of ADRs. All ADRs surrendered to the Depositary shall be cancelled by the Depositary. The Depositary is authorized to destroy ADRs in certificated form so cancelled in accordance with its customary practices.  The Depositary agrees to maintain or cause its
agents to maintain records of all ADRs surrendered and Deposited Securities withdrawn under Section 6 hereof and paragraph (2) of the form of ADR, substitute ADRs delivered under Section 7 hereof, and canceled or destroyed ADRs under
this Section 8, in keeping with the procedures ordinarily followed by stock transfer agents located in the United States or as required by the laws or regulations governing the Depositary.  9. The Custodian. Any
Custodian in acting hereunder shall be subject to the directions of the Depositary and shall be responsible solely to it. The Depositary reserves the right to add, replace or remove a Custodian. The Depositary will give prompt notice of any such
action, which will be advance notice if practicable.  Any Custodian may resign from its duties hereunder by providing at least 30 days prior written notice to the Depositary. The Depositary may discharge any Custodian at any time upon notice to the Custodian
being discharged. Any Custodian ceasing to act hereunder as Custodian shall deliver, upon the instruction of the Depositary, all Deposited Securities held by it to a Custodian continuing to act. If upon the effectiveness of such resignation there
would be no Custodian acting hereunder, the Depositary shall, prior to the effectiveness of such resignation, endeavor to use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a substitute custodian or custodians, each of which shall thereafter be a
Custodian hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deposit Agreement (including the ADRs) and subject to the penultimate sentence of paragraph (14) of the form of ADR, the Depositary shall not be responsible for,
and shall incur no liability in connection with or arising from, any act or omission to act on the part of the Custodian except to the extent that any Holder has incurred liability directly as a result of the Custodian having (i) committed
fraud or willful misconduct in the provision of custodial services to the Depositary or (ii) failed to use reasonable care in the provision of custodial services to the Depositary as determined in accordance with the standards prevailing in the
jurisdiction in which the Custodian is located.  10. Co-Registrars and
Co-Transfer Agents. The Depositary may appoint and remove (i) co-registrars to register ADRs and transfers, combinations and

holdings of ADSs by all Holders as of a date within seven days of the Depositarys receipt of such request.  12. Depositarys Agents. The Depositary may perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement
through any agent appointed by it, provided that the Depositary shall notify the Company of such appointment and shall remain responsible for the performance of such obligations as if no agent were appointed, subject to paragraph (14) of the form of

acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon the resignation or removal of the Depositary a successor depositary is not appointed within 60 days of notice of such resignation or removal, the
Depositary may elect to terminate this Deposit Agreement and the ADR and the provisions of paragraph (17) of the form of ADR shall thereafter govern the Depositarys obligations hereunder. In case at any time the Depositary acting
hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Every
successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor. The predecessor depositary, only upon payment of all sums due to it and on the written request of the Company, shall (i) execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder (other than its rights to indemnification and fees owing, each of which shall survive any such removal and/or resignation), (ii) duly assign, transfer and deliver all right,
title and interest to the Deposited Securities to such successor, and (iii) deliver to such successor a list of the Holders of all outstanding ADRs. Any such successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to such Holders.

Custodian and any Transfer Office, a copy (in English or with an English translation) of such provisions (other than copies of Italian laws and/or regulations) as so changed. The Depositary and its agents may rely upon the Companys delivery of
all such communications, information and provisions for all purposes of this Deposit Agreement and the Depositary shall have no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any thereof.  15. Additional Shares. The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the
Company nor any company controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall issue additional Shares, rights to subscribe for Shares, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or rights to subscribe for any such
securities or shall deposit any Shares under this Deposit Agreement, except under circumstances complying in all respects with the Securities Act of 1933. At the reasonable request of the Depositary where it deems necessary, the Company will furnish
the Depositary with legal opinions from qualified and reputable independent counsels dealing with such issues requested by the Depositary. In the event of any issuance of additional securities the Company shall have no obligation to register such
additional securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The  4

Depositary will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with written instructions of the Company not to accept for deposit hereunder any Shares identified in such instructions at such times

as provided in the fourth paragraph of this Section 16, the Company shall indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary, the Custodian and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates against any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may arise out of acts performed or omitted, in connection with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and of the ADRs, as the same may be amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time in accordance herewith (i) by either the Depositary or a Custodian or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates, except for any loss, liability or expense directly arising out of the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary or its directors, officers or affiliates acting in their capacities as such hereunder, or (ii) by the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents and affiliates.  The indemnities set forth in the preceding paragraph shall
also apply to any liability or expense which may arise out of any misstatement or alleged misstatement or omission or alleged omission in any registration statement, proxy statement, prospectus (or placement memorandum), or preliminary prospectus
(or preliminary placement memorandum) relating to the offer or sale of ADSs, except to the extent any such liability or expense arises out of (i) information relating to the Depositary or its agents (other than the Company), as applicable,
furnished in writing by the Depositary and not changed or altered by the Company expressly for use in any of the foregoing documents or (ii) if such information is provided, the failure to state a material fact necessary to make the information
provided not misleading.  Except as provided in
the next succeeding paragraph, the Depositary shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Company against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Company in respect of this Deposit
Agreement to the extent such loss, liability or expense is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement or the ADRs to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Depositary, nor any
of their agents shall be liable to the other for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (excluding reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) or lost profits (collectively Special Damages) of any form incurred by any of
them or any other person or entity, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the type of action in which such a claim may be brought; provided, however, that to the extent Special Damages arise from or out of a claim brought by a third party
(including, without limitation, Holders) against the Depositary or any of its agents acting under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and its agents shall be entitled to full indemnification from the Company for all such Special Damages, unless
such Special Damages are found to have been a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Depositary.  The obligations set forth in this Section 16 shall survive the termination of this Deposit Agreement and the succession or
substitution of any indemnified person.  17. Notices. Notice to any Holder shall be deemed given when first mailed, first class postage
prepaid, to the address of such Holder on the ADR Register or received by such Holder. Failure to notify a Holder or any defect in the notification to a Holder shall not affect the sufficiency of notification to other Holders or to the beneficial
owners of ADSs held by such other Holders. Notice to the Depositary or the Company shall be deemed given when first received by it at the address or e-mail address set forth in (a) or (b), respectively, or at such other address or e-mail
address as either may specify to the other by written notice:  (a)

The Depositary or the Company may act upon any e-mail received by it from the other or
from any Holder, notwithstanding that such e-mail shall not subsequently be confirmed as aforesaid.  18. Miscellaneous. This Deposit Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of the Company, the Depositary, the Holders, and their respective successors hereunder, and, except
to the extent specifically set forth in Section 16 of this Deposit Agreement, shall not give any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim whatsoever to any other person. The Holders and owners of ADRs from time to time shall be parties to this
Deposit Agreement and shall be bound by all of the provisions hereof. If any such provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected thereby. This Deposit Agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Deposit Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including
.pdf, .tif or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  19. Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agent for Service of Process. The
Company irrevocably agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Company brought by the Depositary or any Holder, arising out of or based upon this Deposit Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, may be instituted in any
state or federal court in New York, New York, and irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company also irrevocably agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Depositary brought by the Company, arising out of or based upon this Deposit Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby, may only be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York. The Company has appointed TI Sparkle North America, Inc., 622 3rd Avenue, 38thFloor, New York, NY 10017, as its authorized agent (the Authorized Agent) upon which process may be served
in any such action arising out of or based on this Deposit Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which may be instituted in any state or federal court in New York, New York by the Depositary or any Holder, and waives any other
requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action,
including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. The Company further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal
process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding against the Company, by service by mail of a copy thereof upon the Authorized Agent (whether or not the appointment of such Authorized Agent shall for any reason prove to be
ineffective or such Authorized Agent shall fail to accept or acknowledge such service), with a copy mailed to the Company by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, to its address provided in Section 17(b) hereof. The Company agrees
that the failure of the Authorized Agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. If, for any reason, the
Authorized Agent named above or its successor shall no longer serve as agent of the Company to receive service of process in New York, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor that is a legal entity with offices in New York, New York, so as to
serve and will promptly advise the Depositary thereof. In the event the Company fails to continue such designation and appointment in full force and effect, the Company hereby waives personal service of process upon it and consents that any such
service of process may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Company at its address last specified for notices hereunder, and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same
shall have been so mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action based on this Deposit Agreement may be instituted by the Depositary in any competent court in the Republic of Italy and/or the United States.  By holding an ADS or an interest therein, Holders and owners
of ADSs each irrevocably agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving the Company or the Depositary, arising out of or based upon this Deposit Agreement, the ADSs or the transactions contemplated herein, therein or hereby,
may only be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York, and by holding an ADS or an interest therein each irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.  To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter be entitled to, or have attributed
to it, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any respect thereof, from setoff or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service
of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution or judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding  6

not to plead or claim, any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.  EACH PARTY TO THIS DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER AND/OR HOLDER OF INTERESTS IN ADRS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE DEPOSITARY AND/OR THE COMPANY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE ADSs OR THE ADRs,

Old Deposit Agreement. The Deposit Agreement amends and restates the Old Deposit Agreement in its entirety to consist exclusively of the Deposit Agreement, and each Old Receipt is hereby deemed amended and restated to substantially conform to
the form of ADR set forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto, except that, to the extent any portion of such amendment and restatement would prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders of Old Receipts, such portion shall not become effective as to

EXHIBIT A ANNEXED TO AND INCORPORATED IN DEPOSIT AGREEMENT  [FORM OF FACE OF ADR]  Number

No. of ADSs:Each ADS represents Ten SharesCUSIP:  AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPT  evidencing  AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES  representing  ORDINARY SHARES  of  TIM S.p.A.  (Incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy)  JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the Depositary),
hereby certifies that                 is the registered owner (a Holder) of American Depositary Shares (ADSs), each (subject to paragraph
(13)) representing ten ordinary shares (including the rights to receive Shares described in paragraph (1), Shares and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to time held by the Depositary in respect or in
lieu of deposited Shares, the Deposited Securities), of TIM S.p.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy (the Company), deposited under the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of
November 16, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the Deposit Agreement) among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (ADRs), each of whom by
accepting an ADR becomes a party thereto. The Deposit Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  (1) Issuance and Pre-Release of
ADSs. This ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office (as hereinafter defined) only against deposit of: (a) Shares
in a form satisfactory to the Custodian; (b) rights to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership or transactions; or (c) in accordance with the next paragraph
hereof.  In its capacity as Depositary, the
Depositary shall not lend Deposited Securities; provided, however, that, unless requested by the Company to cease doing so during periods necessary in order to enable compliance with applicable law, the Depositary may issue ADSs prior to the receipt
of Shares (each such transaction a Pre-Release). The Depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of Shares (which ADSs will promptly be canceled by the Depositary upon receipt by the Depositary). Each such Pre-Release will be subject to a
written agreement whereby the person or entity (the Applicant) to whom ADSs are to be delivered (a) represents that at the time of the Pre-Release the Applicant or its customer owns the Shares that are to be delivered by the
Applicant under such Pre-Release, (b) agrees to indicate the Depositary as owner of such Shares in its records and to hold such Shares or ADSs in trust for the Depositary until such Shares or ADSs are delivered to the Depositary or the  A-1

Custodian, (c) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the Depositary or the Custodian, as applicable, such Shares, and (d) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that
the Depositary deems appropriate. Each such Pre-Release will be at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the Depositary deems appropriate, terminable by the Depositary on not more than five
(5) business days notice and subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the Depositary deems appropriate. The Depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs involved in such Pre-Release at any one time to thirty
percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to Pre-Released ADSs outstanding), provided, however, that the Depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The
Depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs involved in Pre-Release with any one person on a case-by-case basis as it deems appropriate. The Depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in
conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided in connection with Pre-Release transactions, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the Holders (other than the Applicant).  At the request, risk and expense of the person depositing
Shares, the Depositary may accept deposits for forwarding to the Custodian and may deliver ADRs at a place other than its office. Shares or evidence of rights to receive Shares may be deposited through (x) electronic transfer of such Shares to
the account maintained by the Custodian for such purpose at Monte Titoli S.p.A., (y) evidence satisfactory to the Custodian of irrevocable instructions to cause such Shares to be transferred to such account or (z) delivery of the
certificates representing such Shares. If use of the Monte Titoli book-entry system in connection with the Shares is discontinued at any time for any reason, the Company shall make other book-entry arrangements (if any) that it determines, after
consultation with the Depositary, are reasonable.  Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement represents and warrants that (a) such Shares and the certificates therefor
are duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person (b) all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any, with respect to such Shares have been validly waived or exercised,
(c) the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do, (d) the Shares presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim and (e) such Shares (A) are
not restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Restricted Securities) unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144
shall not apply and such Shares may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and sold freely in the United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent the person depositing Shares is an
affiliate of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144, the person also represents and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable the Shares to be freely sold (in the form of ADSs)
will be fully complied with and, as a result thereof, all of the ADSs issued in respect of such Shares will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares and
the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs. The Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Rules made thereunder. The Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not so registered;  (2) Withdrawal of Deposited
Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary at the Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct
Registration ADR, the Holder hereof is entitled to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodians office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR, provided that the
Depositary may deliver Shares prior to the receipt of ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities, including ADSs which were issued under (1) above but for which Shares may not have been received (until such ADSs are actually deposited, Pre-released Shares) only if all the conditions in (1) above related to such Pre-Release are satisfied). At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such
Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in
General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.  (3) Transfers of ADRs. The Depositary or its agent will keep, at a designated transfer office (the
Transfer Office), (a) a register (the ADR Register) for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall include the Direct Registration
System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating with  A-2

Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (b) facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes
the Direct Registration System. Title to this ADR (and to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments
of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York; provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in
whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any holder of an
ADR, unless such holder is the Holder thereof. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs
surrendered for split-up or combination, by the Holder hereof or by a duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of
proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register or any portion thereof at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it, and it may also
close the issuance book portion of the ADR Register when reasonably requested by the Company solely in order to enable the Company to comply with applicable law. At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a
certificated ADR with a Direct Registration ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, for any authorized number of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as
those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, substituted.  (4) Certain Limitations. Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up or
combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to time in the case of clause (b)(ii) of this paragraph (4),
the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require: (a) payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the
registration of transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable charges as provided in paragraph (7) of this ADR; (b) the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the
identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance
with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or proper; and (c) compliance with such regulations as the Depositary may establish
consistent with the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall provide to the Company, promptly upon its written request, copies of any such proofs of citizenship or residence or other information referred to in (b) above so requested. The
issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of Shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of
Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register or any register for Deposited Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary.  (5) Taxes. If any tax or
other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any
distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held an ADR the Holder and all prior Holders hereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save
harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect thereof. The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination hereof or, subject to the last
sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account
of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other
governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company or its agents will
remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company or its agents; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate
governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. The Depositary will forward to the Company such information from its records as the Company may
reasonably request to enable the Company to file any necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in  A-3

property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of
all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance
of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Holder of an ADR or an interest therein agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at
source or other tax benefit obtained.  (6) Disclosure of Interests. To the extent that the provisions of or governing any Deposited
Securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of Deposited Securities, other Shares and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits,
Holders and all persons holding ADRs agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and to comply with any reasonable Company instructions in respect thereof. The Company reserves the right to instruct Holders to
deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the Holder thereof as a holder of Shares and Holders agree to comply with such instructions. The Depositary agrees to
cooperate with the Company in its efforts to inform Holders of the Companys exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the
Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder.  (7) Charges of Depositary. The Depositary may charge, and collect from, (i) each person to whom ADSs

(c) Rights. (i) Warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in respect of any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or rights of any nature available to the
Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities (Rights), to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the Depositary may lawfully distribute the same
(the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of
Rights as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights, limited markets therefor, their short

stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice and any solicitation materials, (b) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will, subject to any
applicable provisions of Italian law and of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by
the ADSs evidenced by such Holders ADRs; (c) if applicable, a statement as to the manner in which such Holders may request a certificate for such meeting attesting that beneficial ownership of the related Shares is in the name of the
Holders and therefore enabling them to exercise voting rights with respect to the Shares represented by their ADSs without the use of Voting Proxy Cards as defined hereinafter (the Certificate) (d) if applicable, a proxy card (the
Voting Proxy Card) pursuant to which such Holder may appoint the Depositary (with power of substitution) as his or her proxy to vote at such meeting in accordance with the directions set out in such Voting Proxy Card as hereinafter
described, and (e) such other information, including any such modification to the foregoing procedures as agreed between the Depositary and the Company.  (b) The Voting Proxy Card will, among other things, require the Holder to set forth its name and the number of such Holders ADSs,
authorize the Depositary (or the broker, custodian or other nominee holding such Holders ADRs) to prohibit any transfers of Shares evidenced by such ADRs for a period of time (i) as set forth by applicable provisions (if any) of Italian
laws and regulations and/or applicable provisions (if any) of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and in any case (ii) beginning from the issuance of the Certificate for such
meeting and ending at the end of the day on the date upon which such meeting is held with a quorum (the Blocked Period) and authorize the Depositary to request the Custodian to cause the name and address of such Holder to be registered
in the Share register of the Company during such Blocked Period and to issue or cause to be issued a Certificate for such meeting during such Blocked Period in respect of the number of Shares represented by such Holders ADSs.  (c) Upon actual receipt by the ADR department of the
Depositary of instructions of a Holder on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under any applicable provisions of
Italian law and the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws to vote or cause to be voted the Shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holders ADRs in accordance with any nondiscretionary instructions set forth in such
Voting Proxy Card. Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, prior to such time.  (d) A Holder desiring to exercise voting rights with respect to the Shares represented by its ADSs without the use of Voting Proxy Cards may do so by (A) depositing its ADRs in a blocked account with
the Depositary until the completion of such meeting and (B) instructing the Depositary to (x) furnish the Custodian with the name and address of such Holder, the number of ADSs represented by ADRs held by such Holder and any other
information required in accordance with Italian law or the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, (y) notify the Custodian of such deposit, and (z) instruct the Custodian to issue a
Certificate for such meeting, and to give notice to the Company of such Holders intention to vote the Shares underlying its ADRs. By giving the instructions set forth under point (B) above, Holders will be deemed to have authorized the
Custodian to prohibit any transfers of the related Shares for the Blocked Period. Each Holder understands and agrees that a precondition for the issue of the Certificate for a specific meeting by the Custodian may be that beneficial ownership of the
related Shares has been in the name of the Holder for a specific number of days prior to the date of the meeting according to applicable provisions (if any) of Italian laws and regulations and/or applicable provisions (if any) of the Companys
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.  (e) Under Italian law, shareholders at shareholders meetings may modify the resolutions presented for their approval by the Board of Directors. In such case Holders who have given prior instructions
to vote on such resolutions, and whose instructions do not provide for the case of amendments or additions to such resolutions, will be deemed to have elected to have abstained from voting on any such revised resolution.  (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary is
instructed to also allow Holders to electronically or telephonically provide the information required and/or sought in a Voting Proxy Card and to electronically or telephonically provide voting instructions with respect to any meeting of
shareholders. Any such electronic and/or telephonic instructions shall be valid if timely received by the Depositary.  (g) The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities.  A-7

(h) There can be no assurance that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will
receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable the Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner.  (i) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or
regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of
Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website
