INTRODUCTION

Telecom Italia S.p.A. is incorporated as a joint stock company under the laws of Italy. As used in this Annual Report, unless the context otherwise
requires, the term Company means Telecom Italia S.p.A. the operating company for fixed and mobile telecommunications services in Italy and the holding company for various businesses, principally telecommunications, and the terms
we, us and our refers to the Company, and, as applicable, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Unless
otherwise indicated, the financial information contained in this Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (designated as
IFRS).

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference in this Annual Report to Consolidated Financial Statements is to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 of the Telecom Italia Group (including the notes thereto) included elsewhere herein.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. This Annual Report
contains certain forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as believes, may, is expected to, will, will continue, should, seeks or anticipates or similar expressions or the
negative thereof or other comparable terminology, or by the forward-looking nature of discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The
forward-looking statements in this Annual Report include, but are not limited to, the discussion of the changing dynamics of the telecommunications marketplace, including the continuing developments in competition in all aspects of our businesses
from new competitors and from new and enhanced technologies, our outlook for growth in the telecommunications industry both within and outside of Italy, including our outlook regarding developments in the telecommunications industry, and certain
trends we have identified in our core markets, including regulatory developments.

Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements under
the following headings: (i) Item 3. Key Information3.1 Risk Factors, (ii) Item 4. Information on the Telecom Italia Group4.1 Business4.1.7 Updated Strategy, (iii) Item 4. Information on
the Telecom Italia Group4.3 Regulation, (iv) Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects, (v) Item 8. Financial Information8.2 Legal Proceedings and (vi) Item 11. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks, including statements regarding the likely effect of matters discussed therein.

Actual results
may differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking information is based on certain key assumptions which we believe to be reasonable but forward-looking information by its nature involves
risks and uncertainties, which are outside our control, that could significantly affect expected results.

The following important factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-looking statements:



|· |  | our ability to successfully implement our strategy in the future;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a further deterioration of the economic environment in the principal markets in which we operate, including, in
particular, our core Italian market;

Item 3.    KEY INFORMATION

3.1    RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report, investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making any
investment decision. The risks described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impact our business and results of operations. Our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

We present below:



|1) | our main objectives as set out in our 2016-2018 three-year strategic plan (the 2016-2018 Plan or the
Plan); and
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2) | factors that may prevent us from achieving our objectives. For purposes of presenting our risk factors we have
identified our risks based on the main risk categories, set out in the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission1:

|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



Our ability to implement and achieve our strategic objectives and priorities may be influenced by
certain factors, including those outside of our control. Such factors include:



|· |  | a further deterioration of the economic environment in the principal markets in which we operate, including, in
particular, our core Italian market;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the impact of regulatory decisions and changes in the regulatory environment in Italy, Brazil and other countries
in which we operate;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the impact of political developments in Italy, Brazil and other countries in which we operate;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to successfully meet competition on both price and innovation capabilities of new products and
services;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to develop and introduce new technologies which are attractive in our principal markets, to manage
innovation, to supply value added services and to increase the use of our fixed and mobile networks;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to successfully implement our internet and broadband strategy;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to successfully achieve our financial targets (including debt reduction);
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates and the performance of the equity markets in
general;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the outcome of litigation, disputes and investigations in which we are involved or may become involved;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to build up our business in adjacent markets and in international markets (particularly in Brazil),
due to our specialist and technical resources;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to achieve the expected return on the investments and capital expenditures we have made and continue
to make in Italy and Brazil;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the amount and timing of any future impairment charges for our authorizations, goodwill or other assets;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to manage any business transformation plans and, as a consequence, reduce costs;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | any difficulties which we may encounter in our supply and procurement processes, including as a result of the
insolvency or financial weaknesses of our suppliers; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the costs we incur due to unexpected events, in particular where our insurance is not sufficient to cover such
costs.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these uncertainties there can be no assurance that the business and strategic objectives identified by
our management can effectively be attained in the manner and within the time-frames described. Furthermore, if we are unable to attain our strategic priorities, our goodwill may be further impaired, which could result in further significant
write-offs.

The following sets out more specific factors that may prevent us from achieving our objectives.

STRATEGIC RISKS

Continuing weakglobal
economicconditions, includingthe continuing weakness of the Italian economy over the past several yearsand deteriorating economic conditions in Brazil, have adversely affected our business and continuing globaland Europeaneconomic weakness could further adversely affect our business and therefore have a negative impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Our business is dependent to a large degree on general economic conditions in Italy and in our other principal market, Brazil, including levels of
interest rates, inflation, taxes and general business conditions. A significant deterioration in economic conditions could adversely affect our business and results of operations. The weak economic conditions of the last several years have had an
adverse impact on our business, particularly in Italy.

The economic recession that Italy has experienced in recent years has weighed, and may
continue to weigh heavily, on the development prospects of our core Italian market.

|----------------------- |  | ------------
|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



In Brazil, the market is affected by a macroeconomic environment that continues to deteriorate,
resulting in shrinking domestic demand, rising inflation, and a sharp depreciation of the Brazilian Real. Should key macroeconomic indicators continue to worsen, we may not be able to achieve our strategic objectives, which are linked to
improvements in domestic demand.

Telecommunications operators generally have faced challenging markets in recent years, principally as a result of
factors such as a decline in voice traffic and significant pricing pressures resulting from increased competition among the operators.

Continuing
uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a significant risk as consumer and business customers postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news (including high levels of unemployment) or declines in income or asset
values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services. Economic difficulties in the credit markets and other economic conditions may reduce the demand for or the timing of purchases of our products and
services. A loss of customers or a reduction in purchases by our current customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow and may negatively affect our ability to meet our targets. Other
factors that could influence customer demand include access to credit, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors.

Our strategy includes
transitioning from a traditional telecommunications company to digital telecommunications & platform company: This strategy will require a broad review of Telecom Italias processes and operating model and consideration of external
variables related to this transition. Realization times related to the transition may be greater than expected, resulting in lower and / or delayed cost savings.

Risks associated with Telecom Italias ownership chain

As of the date hereof, the largest single shareholder in the Company is Vivendi S.A. (Vivendi), which holds, directly and indirectly,
a stake of approximately 24.90% of ordinary share capital. With a holding of this size, Vivendi can exercise significant influence over matters subject to a vote of the ordinary shareholders of the Company, such as nominations to the Board of
Directors (the Board).

Competition Risks

Alternative infrastructure operators in Italy could pose a threat to us, particularly in the medium to long term.

The network development by Alt Net (Alternative network operators) on a standalone basis or through their partnership with the OLOs could
adversely impact our businesses, assets and goodwill and, as a consequence, our economic and financial performance. In particular, the risks we face are:



|· |  | increasing competition in the National Wholesale Market, with potential losses with respect to our customer base
and revenues.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | in geographical areas already affected by competition, a further loss of retail market share and, as a
consequence, a loss of revenues;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | loss of retail market share in areas where competitors have not historically focused.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strong competition in Italy or other countries where we operate may further reduce our core market share for telecommunications services and may
cause reductions in prices and margins thereby having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Strong
competition exists in all of the principal telecommunications business areas in Italy in which we operate. Competition has become even more acute in recent years with the entry of international operators, that compete directly with us in the Italian
market.

Moreover, convergence has enabled lateral competition from Information Technology (or IT), over-the-top (or OTT), Media and
Devices/Consumer Electronic players. This competition may further increase due to the consolidation and globalization of the telecommunications industry in Europe, including Italy, and elsewhere.

The emergence of alternative infrastructure operators could pose a threat to us, particularly in the long term.

|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



In 2015, price competition for traditional services in our core Italian market experienced a slowdown
as compared to the prior two years. However, price competition in our principal lines of business has led, and could lead, to:



|· |  | further price and margin erosion for our traditional products and services;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a continuing loss of market share in our core markets; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | loss of existing or prospective customers and greater difficulty in retaining existing customers.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, competition on innovative products and services in our Italian domestic fixed-line, mobile telephony and broadband businesses, has led, and
could lead to:



|· |  | obsolescence of existing technologies and more rapid deployment of new technologies;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | an increase in costs and payback period related to investments in new technologies that are necessary to retain
customers and market share; and/or
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | difficulties in reducing debt and funding strategic and technological investments if we cannot generate sufficient
profits and cash flows.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although we continue to take steps to realize additional efficiencies and to rebalance our revenue mix
through the continuing introduction of innovative and value added services, if any or all of the events described above should occur, the impact of such factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.

Continuing rapid changes in technologies could increase competition, reduce usage of traditional services or require us to make
substantial additional investments.

We, like other operators, face increasing competition from non-traditional data services on new voice
and messaging over-the-internet technologies, in particular over-the-top (OTT), applications, such as Skype, FaceTime and WhatsApp. These applications are often free of charge, other than for data usage, accessible via
smartphones, tablets and computers and allow their users to have access to potentially unlimited messaging and voice services over the internet, bypassing more expensive traditional voice and messaging services such as SMS which have historically
been a source of significant revenues for fixed and mobile network operators such as Telecom Italia. With the growing share of smartphones, tablets and computers in Italy, as well as in Brazil, our principal international market, an increasing
number of customers are using OTT applications services instead of traditional voice and SMS communications.

Historically, we have generated a
substantial portion of our revenues from voice and SMS services, particularly in our mobile business in Italy, and the substitution of data services for these traditional voice and SMS volumes has had and is likely to continue to have a negative
impact on our revenues and profitability.

In the long term, if non-traditional voice and messaging data services continue to increase in
popularity, as they are expected to do, and if we and other mobile network operators are not able to address this competition, this could contribute to further declines in average revenue per user (ARPU) and lower margins across
many of our products and services, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may be adversely affected if we fail to successfully implement our Internet and broadband/fiber strategy.

The continuing development of Internet and broadband services constitutes a strategic objective for us. We aim to increase the use of our networks in
Italy and abroad to offset the continuing decline of traditional voice services. Our ability to successfully implement this strategy may be negatively affected if:



|· |  | broadband coverage does not grow as we expect;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------



|· |  | competition grows to include players from adjacent markets or technological developments introducing new platforms for
Internet access and/or Internet distribution;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|· |  | we are unable to provide broadband/fiber connections superior to those of our competitors; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | we experience any network interruptions or related problems with network infrastructure.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any of the above factors may adversely affect the successful implementation of our strategy, our business and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to successfully implement our Information and Communications Technology (ICT) strategy.

We intend to continue focusing on Information Technology-Telecommunication (IT-TLC) convergence by addressing the ICT
market, offering network and infrastructure management, as well as application management. In particular, as the market for cloud service continues to grow, the ICT market becomes a key element of our strategy.

We expect to experience increasing competition in this market as additional competitors (mainly telecommunications operators through acquisition and
partnership with IT operators) also enter this market. If we fail to develop our market share or compete effectively, our revenues could be negatively affected.

Our business may be adversely affected if we fail to successfully implement our strategy with respect to next generation networks
strategy.

One of our goals is to accelerate the roll-out of a new telecommunications network capable of providing customers with
ultra-broadband connections, generally referred to as a next generation network (NGN).

However, implementation of
ultra-broadband technologies is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including the following:



|· |  | obtaining the necessary regulatory permissions and authorizations, and winning the relevant contracts for installation
of NGN lines;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | our ability to apply innovative techniques in excavating for and laying fiber optic cables.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In areas not provided for under our development plan or where implementation of the ultra-broadband plan is conditioned upon the grant of public funds,
in addition to those listed above, the following factor should be considered:



|· |  | the allocation of public funds at a local level;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the fulfilment of the technical and economic conditions contained in the Agreement on the methods of access to the
cabinets of Telecom Italia, signed by us, Fastweb and Infratel;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the fulfilment of the technical and economic conditions related to the EuroSUD (a European funding telematic counter)
tenders awarded to us; and
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the launch of the tenders for the grant of public funds in a time frame that is consistent with our projected timetable.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we fail to achieve our objectives for the implementation of ultra-broadband coverage in a timely manner or at all, we may lose
market share to our competitors in this strategically important segment, which may have adverse effects on the Groups business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to risks associated with political developments in countries where we operate.

Changes in political conditions in Italy and in other countries where we have made significant investments (particularly in countries where the political
situation is less predictable than in Western Europe) may have an adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Italian State is in a position to exert certain powers with respect to us.

In 2012, regulations relating to the special powers regarding strategic assets in the energy, transport and communications sectors were published and
became effective (Law Decree n. 21 of March 15, 2012, adopted with modifications by Law n. 56 of May 11, 2012).

|----------------------- |  | ------------
|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



Following enactment of such regulation, art. 3 of Presidential Decree n. 85 of March 25, 2014
identified the following as strategic assets in the communications sector:



|(1) | dedicated networks and access to a public network for final customers in connection with metropolitan networks, service
routers and long-distance networks;
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | assets used for the provision of access for final customers to services that fall within the obligations of universal
service and broadband and ultra-broadband services;
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | dedicated elements, even if not in exclusive use, for connectivity (phone, data, video), security, control and
management concerning fixed telecommunication access networks.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Presidential Decree n. 86 of March 25, 2014 sets out the
procedures for handling of special powers in the communications sector.

As a result, the rules presently in force provide for:



|· |  | the power of the Italian Government to impose conditions and possibly to oppose the purchase, under certain conditions,
by non-EU entities, of controlling shareholdings in companies which hold the aforementioned type of assets. Until the end of the 15-day period from the notice of the purchase, within which conditions may be imposed, or the power to oppose the
initiative exercised, the voting rights (and any rights other than the property rights) connected to shares whose sale entails the transfer of control, will be suspended. The same rights will be suspended in the case of any non-compliance with or
breach of the conditions imposed on the purchaser, for the whole of the period in which the non-compliance or breach persists. Any resolutions adopted with the determining vote of said shares or holdings, as well as the resolutions or acts adopted
that breach or do not comply with the conditions imposed, will be null and void;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a power of veto by the Italian Government (including in the form of imposition of prescriptions or conditions) over any
resolution, act or transaction that has the effect of modifying the ownership, control or availability of said strategic assets or changing their destination, including resolutions of merger, demerger, transfer of registered office abroad, transfer
of the company or business units which contain the strategic assets, or their assignment by way of guarantee. Resolutions or acts adopted breaching said prescriptions shall be null and void. The Government may also order the company and any other
party to restore the antecedent situation at their own expense.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The exercise of such powers, or the right or ability to exercise
such powers, could make a change of control transaction with respect to Telecom Italia (whether by merger or otherwise) more difficult to achieve, if at all, or discourage certain bidders from making an offer relating to a change of control that
could otherwise be beneficial to shareholders.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

We face numerous risks in both the efficiency and effectiveness of resources allocation. Operational risks related to our business, include those
resulting from inadequate internal and external processes, fraud, employee errors, failure to document transactions properly, loss or disclosure of critical or commercial sensitive data or personal identification information and systems failures.
These events could result in direct or indirect losses and adverse legal and regulatory proceedings, and could harm our reputation and operational effectiveness.

We have in place risk management procedures designed to detect, manage and monitor at a senior level the evolution of these operational risks. However,
there is no guarantee that these measures will be successful in effectively controlling the operational risks that we face and such failures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could harm our reputation.

System and network failures could result in reduced user traffic and reduced revenue and could harm our reputation. In addition, our operations
and reputation could be materially negatively affected by cyber-security threats or our failure to comply with data protection legislation.

Our success largely depends on the continued and uninterrupted performance of our IT, network systems and of certain hardware and datacenters that we
manage for our clients. Our technical infrastructure (including our

|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



network infrastructure for fixed-line and mobile telecommunications services) is vulnerable to damage or interruption from technology failures, power loss, floods, windstorms, fires, terrorism,
intentional wrongdoing, human error and similar events. Unanticipated problems at our facilities, system failures, hardware and software failures, computer viruses and hacker attacks, as well as terrorist attacks against our infrastructure, which
remains a target, could affect the quality of our services and cause service interruptions. Any of these occurrences could result in reduced user traffic and reduced revenue and could negatively affect our levels of customer satisfaction, reduce our
customer base and harm our reputation.

In addition, our operations involve the processing and storage of large amounts of customer data on a daily
basis and require an uninterrupted, accurate, permanently available, real-time and safe transmission and storage of customer and other data in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The proper functioning of, including prevention of
unauthorized access to, our networks, systems, computers, applications and data, such as customer accounting, network control, data hosting, cloud computing and other information technology systems is critical to our operations. We may be held
liable for the loss, release, disclosure or inappropriate modification of the customer data stored on our equipment or carried by our networks. IT system failure, interruption of service availability, industrial espionage, cyber-attack or data
leakage, in particular relating to customer data, could seriously limit our ability to service our clients, result in significant compensation costs for which indemnification or insurance coverage may be only partially available, result in a breach
of laws and regulations under which we operate or lead to fines and could cause long-term damage to our business and reputation.

Our business
depends on the upgrading of our existing networks.

We must continue to maintain, improve and upgrade our existing networks in a timely and
satisfactory manner in order to retain and expand our customer base in each of our markets. A reliable and high quality network is necessary to manage churn by sustaining our customer base, to maintain strong customer brands and reputation and to
satisfy regulatory requirements, including minimum service requirements. The maintenance and improvement of our existing networks depends on our ability to:



|· |  | upgrade the functionality of our networks to offer increasingly customized services to our customers;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | increase coverage in some of our markets;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------



|· |  | expand and maintain customer service, network management and administrative systems;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | expand the capacity of our existing fixed copper and mobile networks to cope with increased bandwidth usage; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | upgrade older systems and networks to adapt them to new technologies.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, due to rapid changes in the telecommunications industry, our network investments may prove to be inadequate or may be superseded by new
technological changes. Our network investments may also be limited by market uptake and customer acceptance. If we fail to make adequate capital expenditures or investments, or to properly and efficiently allocate such expenditures or investments,
the performance of our networks, both in real terms and in relative terms as compared to our competitors, could suffer, resulting in lower customer satisfaction, diminution of brand strength and increased churn.

Many of these tasks are not entirely under our control and may be affected by applicable regulation. If we fail to maintain, improve or upgrade our
networks, our services and products may be less attractive to new customers and we may lose existing customers to competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are continuously involved in disputes and litigation with regulators, competition authorities, competitors and other parties and are the
subject of a number of investigations by judicial authorities. The ultimate outcome of such proceedings is generally uncertain. If any of these matters are resolved against us, they could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in any particular period.

We are subject to numerous risks relating
to legal, tax, competition and regulatory proceedings in which we are currently a party or which could develop in the future. We are also the subject of a number of investigations by

judicial authorities. Such proceedings and investigations are inherently unpredictable. Legal, tax, competition and regulatory proceedings and investigations in which we are, or may become,
involved (or settlements thereof) may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or financial condition and cash flows in any particular period. Furthermore, our involvement in such proceedings
and investigations may adversely affect our reputation.

If we, or another Group company, lose any of the legal proceedings to which we are a party,
and are ordered to pay amounts greater than what we have recognized to cover potential liabilities, we may face adverse effects with respect to our and/or our Groups operations, financial position, income statement and cash flows.

The final outcomes of those proceedings are generally uncertain. As of December 31, 2015, we had, on a consolidated basis, recognized potential
liabilities of 595 million euros. In recognizing these liabilities, we took into consideration the risks connected with each dispute and the relevant accounting standards, which require reserves to be recognized where liabilities are probable and
can be estimated reliably. The provisions represent an estimate of the financial risk connected with the particular proceedings, in line with the relevant accounting standards. Nonetheless, we may be obligated to meet liabilities linked to
unsuccessful outcomes for proceedings that were not taken into consideration when calculating those reserves and the provisions made may not be sufficient to fully meet such obligations through use of our reserves. Such a development could have
adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks associated with the internet usage by our
customers could cause us losses and adversely affect our reputation.

Pursuant to applicable Italian regulation, we, as a host and provider
of data transmission services, are required to inform competent authorities without delay of any alleged illegal or illicit activity of which we are aware by our customers. We must also provide the authorities with any information we have
identifying such customers. Any failure to comply with this obligation could cause us to become involved in civil liability proceedings or could lead to an unfavorable public perception of our brand and services. Any such event could result in
direct or indirect losses or legal and/or regulatory proceedings directed against us and could materially harm our reputation.

We are exposed
to the risk of labor disputes, in particular as a result of our plan to restructure our labor costs.

We are currently undertaking a
restructuring of portions of our workforce in an effort to better align increased standards of service and expanded expertise with greater efficiency in our personnel costs. To that end, on September 7, 2015, we entered into a union agreement that
provides for a number of different measures to enable us to manage our workforce in line with our business plan. These measures include employment support schemes (e.g., the introduction of reduced hours and wages), known as contratti di
solidarietà, voluntary relocation, early retirement measures and re-training.

In addition, on September 21, 2015 and October 27,
2015, we entered into agreements that provide for voluntary relocation and employment support schemes.

Relations between us and our workers/trade
unions are not usually adversarial and strikes or protests involving a majority of workers are not common, but such occurrences carry a moderate risk of disruptions in work and/or reduced service. Generally, such occurrences would negatively impact
customers.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Our leverage is such
that deterioration in cash flow can change the expectations of our ability to repay our debt and the inability to reduce our debt could have a material adverse effect on our business. Continuing volatility in the international credit markets may
limit our ability to refinance our financial debt.

As of December 31, 2015, our consolidated gross financial debt was 37,090 million euros,
compared to 37,054 million euros on December 31, 2014. Our consolidated net financial debt was 28,475 million euros as of December 31, 2015, compared to 28,021 million euros on December 31, 2014. Our high leverage continues to be

a factor in our strategic decisions as it has been for a number of years and the reduction of our leverage remains a key strategic objective. As a result, however, we are reliant on cost cutting
and free cash flow to finance critical technology improvements and upgrades to our network, although we are taking steps to raise additional capital to support critical investment.

Due to the competitive environment and continuing weak economic conditions, there could be deterioration in our income statement and statement of
financial position measures used by investors and rating agencies in determining our credit quality. Ratios derived from these same separate income statement and statement of financial position measures are used by the rating agencies, such as
Moodys, Standard & Poors (S&P), and Fitch, which base their ratings on our ability to repay our debt.

Although rating
downgrades do not have an immediate impact on outstanding debt, except for outstanding debt instruments that specifically contemplate taking ratings into account for determining interest expense, or on its relative cost to us, downgrades could
adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt and could increase costs related to refinancing existing debt and managing our derivatives portfolio.

Factors which are beyond our control such as deterioration in performance of the telecommunications sector, unfavorable fluctuations in interest rates
and/or exchange rates, further disruptions in the capital markets, particularly debt capital markets, and, in a broader sense, continuing weakness in general economic conditions at the sovereign level could have a significant effect on our ability
to reduce our debt and refinance existing debt through further access to the financial markets. Because debt reduction is one of our strategic objectives, failure to reduce debt could be viewed negatively and could adversely affect our credit
ratings.

The management and development of our business will require us to make significant further capital and other investments. If we are unable
to finance our capital investment as described above, we may need to incur additional debt in order to finance such investment. Our future results of operations may be influenced by our ability to enter into such transactions, which in turn will be
determined by market conditions and factors that are outside our control. In addition, if such transactions increase our leverage, it could adversely affect our credit ratings.

Fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates and the performance of the equity markets in general may adversely affect our results.

In the past, we have made substantial international investments, significantly expanding our operations outside of the Euro zone,
particularly in Latin America.

Our non-current operating assets are located as follows:



|· |  | Italy: as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, 46,117 million euros (87.9 percent of total
non-current operating assets) and 44,110 million euros (85.3 percent of total non-current operating assets); and
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Outside of Italy: as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, 6,357 million euros (12.1 percent of
total non-current operating assets) and 7,618 million euros (14.7 percent of total non-current operating assets). Non-current operating assets outside of Italy are primarily denominated in Brazilian Real.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We generally hedge our foreign exchange exposure but do not cover conversion risk relating to our foreign subsidiaries. According
to our policies, the hedging of the foreign exchange exposure related to the financial liabilities is mandatory. Movements in exchange rates of the Euro relative to other currencies (particularly the Brazilian Real) may adversely affect our
consolidated results. A rise in the value of the Euro relative to other currencies in certain countries in which we operate or have made investments will reduce the relative value of the revenues or assets of our operations in those countries and,
therefore, may adversely affect our operating results or financial position.

In addition, we have raised, and may raise in an increasing proportion
in the future, financing in currencies other than the Euro, principally the U.S. dollar and British pound. In accordance with our risk management policies, we generally hedge the foreign currency risk exposure related to non-Euro denominated
liabilities, through cross-currency and interest rate swaps.

|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



Furthermore, as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 30 and 40 percent, respectively, of our
consolidated gross debt was subject to the accrual of interest at floating rates, net of derivative instruments hedging such risks. As of December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, we had derivative contracts in place for the management of our
interest rate risk, including interest rate swaps, for notional amounts of 3,689 million euros and 5,320 million euros, respectively. Any changes in interest rates that have not been adequately hedged by derivative contracts may result in
increased financial liabilities in connection with our floating rate debt, which may have adverse effects on the results of our operations and cash flows.

An increase of sovereign spreads, and of the default risk it reflects, in the countries where we operate, may affect the value of our assets in such
countries.

We may also be exposed to financial risks such as those related to the performance of the equity markets in general, and, more
specifically, risks related to the performance of the share price of Group companies.

COMPLIANCE RISKS

Because we operate in a heavily regulated industry, regulatory decisions and changes in the regulatory environment could materially adversely
affect our business.

Our fixed and mobile telecommunications operations, as well as our broadband services, are subject to regulatory
requirements in Italy and our international operations are subject to regulation in their host countries. In Italy, we are the only operator subject to universal service obligations, which require us to provide fixed line public voice
telecommunications services in non-profitable areas. As a member of the EU, Italy has adapted its regulatory framework for electronic communications services to the framework established by the EU Parliament and Council.

Pursuant to this regulatory framework, the Italian regulator in charge of supervising the telecommunications, radio and television broadcasting sectors
(Autorità per le Garanzie nelle ComunicazioniAGCom) is required to identify operators with Significant Market Power (SMP) in the relevant markets subject to regulation. On the basis of
market analyses proceedings (Market Analyses), AGCom imposes on Telecom Italia the remedies necessary to safeguard competition. Current remedies are mainly focused on the regulation of Telecom Italias wholesale business,
while the regulation of retail markets has been largely withdrawn, with the exception of price tests on retail access offers (for telephone, broadband and ultra-broadband access).

Within this regulatory framework, the main risks we face include:



|· |  | lack of predictability concerning both the timing of the regulatory proceedings and their outcome;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | AGCom decisions with retroactive effects (e.g., review of prices of past years following an administrative
judgment); and
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | underestimation by AGCom of the permitted regulatory return on capital invested.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new round of Market Analyses should be conducted by AGCom every three years, in order to cope with the evolutions of market conditions and
technology developments and set the rules for the subsequent three-year period. Meeting this schedule by AGCom is necessary to provide proper regulatory certainty and predictability.

However, the regulatory review process is not always carried out following the required schedule. For example, the third round of Market Analyses for
the access markets was expected to be concluded at the beginning of 2013, in order to set the rules for the period 2013-2015. However, the third round was concluded in December 2015, producing a ruling for the period 2014-2017. This approach created
a high level of uncertainty for market operators and this uncertainty led to uncertainties about the willingness to invest.

In
addition, in the interconnection market, AGCom launched the third round of Market Analyses for fixed termination rates in April 2015 and as of April 8, 2016 the market analysis process is still in progress.

Regulatory uncertainty and regulatory changes imposed on us not only can adversely impact our revenues, but can also make it difficult to make important
investment decisions. Regulation is a key factor in evaluating the likelihood of return on investments and therefore in deciding where to invest.

|----------------------- |  | ------------
|Item 3. Key Information |  | Risk Factors



Moreover, rules and economic conditions are also uncertain and unstable due to a high level of disputes
among operators that challenge AGCom decisions before Administrative Courts.

For example, the Council of State (Consiglio di Stato) published a
number of judgments on fixed and mobile termination rates, as well as on wholesale access prices following complaints by some alternative operators. According to these judgments, AGCom has conducted a review of already established decisions that
were considered to be closed (e.g., 2010-2012 access charges, leading to a change in the regulation and in prices, with retroactive effects).

Also,
the Italian Antitrust Authority (Autorità Garante per la Concorrenza ed il MercatoAGCM) may intervene in our business, setting fines and/or imposing changes in our service provision operating processes and in our
offers. For example, on March 27, 2013, AGCM initiated a proceeding about an alleged anti-competitive agreement among the companies providing network maintenance services to us, possibly aimed at artificially raising the underlying costs.
Subsequently, AGCM extended the proceeding to us in order to determine whether we were involved in the agreement. We proposed a number of undertakings in order to make clear the correctness of our behavior. These proposed commitments included, inter
alia, providing information, implementing of new procedures and certain additional measures. However, AGCM did not accept these undertakings. AGCM made its final decision on December 16, 2015 and imposed a fine of approximately 21.5 million
euros on us. We appealed the decision to the Administrative Tribunal of Lazio (TAR) on February 22, 2016.

In December 2015, we began implementation
of a new model that includes a number of structural changes in the provision of our bottleneck access services (on both copper and fiber networks), aimed at meeting the requirements and recommendations stated by AGCom, AGCM, our Supervisory Board
(Organo di Vigilanza per la Parità di Accesso) and the Supreme Administrative Court (Consiglio di Stato) (the New Equivalence Model). The New Equivalence Model will improve the current equality of access guarantees by means
of a greater symmetry in organization, processes, information systems and databases for the provision of bottleneck access services in order to decrease future regulatory and competition risks.

Our Brazilian Business Unit also is subject to extensive regulation. Our international operations, therefore, confront similar regulatory issues as we
face in Italy, including the possibility for regulators to impose obligations and conditions on how we operate our businesses in Brazil as well as taking decisions that can have an adverse effect on our results, including setting, and in particular,
reducing the mobile termination rates we can charge. As a result, the decisions of regulators or the implementation of new regulations in Brazil and the costs of our compliance with any such decisions or new regulations, may limit our flexibility in
responding to market conditions, competition and changes in our cost base which could individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Due to the continuous evolution of the regulatory regime affecting various parts of our business in Italy and in our international operations, we are
unable to clearly predict the impact of any proposed or potential changes in the regulatory environment in which we operate in Italy, Brazil and our other international markets. Regulations in the telecommunications industry are constantly changing
to adapt to new competition and technology. Changes in laws, regulation or government policy could adversely affect our business and competitiveness. In particular, our ability to compete effectively in our existing or new markets could be adversely
affected if regulators decide to expand the restrictions and obligations to which we are subject or extend them to new services and markets. Finally, decisions by regulators regarding the granting, amendment or renewal of our authorizations, or
those of third parties, could adversely affect our future operations in Italy and in other countries where we operate.

For further information
regarding the matters discussed above and other aspects of the regulatory environments in which our businesses operate, see Item 4. Information on the Telecom Italia GroupItem 4.3. Regulation.

We operate under authorizations granted by government authorities.

Many of our activities require authorizations from governmental authorities both in Italy and abroad. These authorizations specify the types of services
the operating company holding such authorization may provide. The continued existence and terms of our authorizations are subject to review by regulatory authorities and to

interpretation, modification or termination by these authorities. Although authorization renewal is not usually guaranteed, most authorizations do address the renewal process and terms that may
be affected by political and regulatory factors.

Many of these authorizations are revocable for public interest reasons. In addition, our current
authorizations to provide networks and services require that we satisfy certain obligations, including minimum specified quality levels, service and coverage conditions. Failure to comply with these obligations could result in the imposition of
fines or even in the revocation or forfeiture of the authorization. In addition, the need to meet scheduled deadlines may require us to expend more resources than otherwise budgeted for a particular network build-out.

Additional authorizations may also need to be obtained if we expand our services into new product areas, and such authorizations may be related to
auctions (e.g. in the assignment of spectrum right of use) or otherwise prove expensive or require significant cash outlays, or have certain terms and conditions, such as requirements related to coverage and pricing, with which we may not have
previously had to comply. If we are unable to obtain such authorizations within the expected timeframe, at a commercially acceptable cost, or if the authorizations include onerous conditions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

In Brazil we operate under authorizations granted by the competent authorities. As a result, we are
obliged to maintain minimum quality and service standards. Our failure to comply with all the requirements imposed by Anatel and by the Brazilian Government may result in the imposition of fines or other government actions, including the suspension
of the service commercialization for a given period.

Actual or perceived health risks or other problems relating to mobile handsets or
transmission masts could lead to litigation or decreased mobile communications usage.

The effects of, and any damage caused by, exposure to
an electromagnetic field were and are the subject of careful evaluations by the international scientific community, but until now there is no scientific evidence of harmful effects on health. We cannot rule out that exposure to electromagnetic
fields or other emissions originating from wireless handsets will not be identified as a health risk in the future.

Our mobile communications
business may be harmed as a result of these alleged health risks. For example, the perception of these health risks could result in a lower number of customers, reduced usage per customer or potential consumer liability. In addition, although
Italian law already imposes strict limits in relation to transmission equipment, these concerns may cause regulators to impose greater restrictions on the construction of radio base station towers or other infrastructure, which may hinder the
completion of network build-outs and the commercial availability of new services and may require additional investments.

We face the risk
that our organizational policies and procedures embodied in the organizational model prepared pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001 may fail to prevent certain officers and employees from engaging in unlawful conduct, for which we would be jointly
liable.

We have put in place an organizational model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, in order to create a system of rules capable
of preventing certain forms of unlawful conduct by senior management, executives and employees generally that might result in liabilities for us. The organizational model has been adopted by us and our Italian subsidiaries.

The organizational model is continuously reviewed and must be kept updated to reflect changes in operations and in the regulatory environment. We have
established a 231 steering committee to prepare and consider proposals for changes to the model, for submission to the Board for approval.

Notwithstanding the existence of this model or any updates that we may make to it, there can be no assurances that the model will function as designed,
or that it will be considered adequate by any relevant legal authority. If the model is inadequate or deemed to be so, and we were held liable for acts committed by our senior management, executives and employees or are found otherwise non-compliant
with the requirements of the legislation, we may be ordered to pay a fine, our authorizations, licenses or concessions may be suspended or revoked, and we may be prohibited from conducting business, contracting with the Italian public
administration, or advertising goods and services. Such developments would have adverse effects on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

3.2    EXCHANGE RATES

We publish our consolidated financial statements in euros. References to ,
euro and Euro are to the euro, the single unified currency that was introduced in Italy and 10 other member states of the EU on January 1, 1999. References to U.S. dollars, dollars,
U.S.$ or $ are to U.S. dollars, the currency of the United States of America.

For convenience only (except where noted
otherwise), certain euro figures have been translated into dollars at the rate (the Euro/Dollar Exchange Rate) of 1.00= U.S.$ 1.0859, using the last noon buying rate in The City of
New York for cable transfers in foreign currencies as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes (the Noon Buying Rate) on December 31, 2015.

These translations should not be construed as a representation that the euro amounts actually represent such dollar amounts or have been or could be
converted into dollars at the rate indicated.

For the purpose of this Annual Report, billion means a thousand million.

The following table sets forth for the years 2011 to 2015 and for the beginning of 2016 certain information regarding the Noon Buying Rate for Dollars

|(*) | On November 13, 2013, Telecom Italia accepted the offer of Fintech Group to acquire the entire controlling interest of
Telecom Italia Group in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group. The agreements made in connection with this transaction were subsequently modified in October 2014. As a result and in accordance with IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations), starting with the fourth quarter of 2013, the SoforaTelecom Argentina group has been treated as Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale. On March 8, 2016, the Telecom Italia Group completed the
sale of SoforaTelecom Argentina group (for further details please see the Note Events Subsequent to December 31, 2015 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report). The 2012 and
2011 comparative data have been appropriately restated.

|(3) | Due to the loss in 2012 and in 2011, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. The company would have needed to generate
additional earnings of 339 million euros in 2012 and 3,226 million euros in 2011 to achieve a coverage of 1:1. For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges:
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Earnings is calculated by adding:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  | profit (loss) before tax from continuing operations;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | fixed charges (as defined below);
| | - | -----------------------------------



| |  | amortization of capitalized interest and debt issue discounts or premiums;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | dividends from associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | share of losses of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and then subtracting:
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | capitalized interest for the applicable period; and
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  | share of earnings of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Fixed charges is calculated by adding:
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  | interest expenses (both expensed and capitalized);
| | - | --------------------------------------------------



| |  | issue costs and any original debt issue discounts or premiums; and
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | an estimate of the interest within rental expense for operating leases. This component is estimated to equal 1/3 of
rental expense, which is considered a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(4) | In accordance with IAS 33 (Earnings per share), basic earnings per Ordinary Share is calculated by dividing the
Groups profit (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, including the Telecom Italia shares related to the Mandatory Convertible Bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. in
November 2013 and excluding treasury shares. Since Telecom Italia has both Ordinary and Savings Shares outstanding, the calculations also take into account the requirement that holders of Savings Shares are entitled to an additional dividend equal
to 2% of 0.55 euros per share above dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the purpose of these calculations,
the weighted average number of:



| |  | Ordinary Shares was:
| | - | --------------------



| | · |  | 14,889,773,009 for the year ended December 31, 2015 (such number includes the ordinary shares expected to be issued by
Telecom Italia upon the conversion of the mandatory convertible bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A.);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | For diluted earnings per share the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted assuming conversion of all
dilutive potential shares. Potential shares are those securities that, if converted into shares, would increase the total number of shares outstanding and reduce the earnings attributable to each share. Potential shares include options, warrants and
convertible securities. The Groups profit (loss) is also adjusted to reflect the impact of the conversion of potential shares net of the related tax effects.

|(2) | Subject to approval at the Annual Shareholders Meeting to be held on May 25, 2016. Telecom Italias dividend
coupons for its Savings Shares for the year ended December 31, 2015, will be clipped on June 20, 2016, and will be payable from June 22, 2016.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payment of annual dividends is subject to approval by the holders of Ordinary Shares at the annual general shareholders meeting, which must be
held within 180 days after the end of the financial year to which it relates (pursuant to article 18, second paragraph, of the Companys Bylaws). In addition, Article 21 of the Companys Bylaws gives the Board of Directors the power to
approve the distribution of interim dividends. Pursuant to Italian law, the distribution may be approved after the final approval of the preceding years financial statements, and the interim dividends may not exceed the lower of
(i) the difference between profits from the preceding fiscal year and amounts required to be attributed to legal and statutory reserves and (ii) available reserves. Once paid in compliance with applicable laws, shareholders cannot be
required to repay interim dividends to the Company if the shareholders collected such dividends in good faith. Dividends not collected within five years from the date they become payable will be forfeited in favor of the Company. If profits are not
fully distributed, additional reserves are created.

According to the Italian Civil Code, before dividends may be paid with respect to any year, an
amount equal to 5% of the profit of the Company for such year must be set aside to the legal reserve until the legal reserve, including amounts set aside during prior years, is at least equal to one-fifth of the par value of the Companys
issued share capital. This legal reserve is not available for payment of dividends. Such restriction on the payment of dividends applies, on a non-consolidated basis, to each Italian subsidiary of the Telecom Italia Group. The Company may also pay
dividends out of available retained earnings from prior years or other reserves.

Dividends in respect of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares held
with Monte Titoli S.p.A. (Monte Titoli) are automatically credited to the accounts of the beneficial owners with the relevant participant of Monte Titoli, without the need for presentation by such beneficial owners of any
documentation. See Item 10. Additional Information10.4 Description of Capital Stock.

Arrangements between Euroclear or
Clearstream and Monte Titoli permit the shareholders to collect the dividends through Euroclear or Clearstream. Holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are entitled to receive payments in respect of dividends on the
underlying Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares, as the case may be, in accordance with the relevant Deposit Agreement.

Dividends payable on the
Companys Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares may be subject to deduction of Italian withholding tax. See Item 10. Additional Information10.6 Taxation. Italian regulations do not contain any specific restrictions on the payment
of dividends to non-residents of Italy. See Item 10. Additional Information10.2 Exchange Controls and Other Limitations Affecting Security Holders.

|Item 3. Key Information |  | Dividends



Pursuant to Italian law, in connection with the payment of dividends, participants of Monte Titoli are
required to supply to the Italian tax authorities certain information concerning the identity of non-resident shareholders holding Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares. Shareholders are required to provide their Italian tax identification number, if
any, or alternatively, in the case of legal entities, their name, country of establishment and address, or in the case of individuals, their name, address and place and date of birth, or in the case of partnerships, the information required for
legal entities and the information required for individuals with respect to one of their representatives. In the case of Ordinary Share ADSs and Savings Share ADSs owned by non-residents in Italy, Telecom Italia understands that the provision of
information concerning the Depositary, in its capacity as holder of record of the Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares, as the case may be, will satisfy these requirements.

The Depositary, in accordance with instructions from Telecom Italia, will provide information to beneficial owners of Ordinary Share ADSs and Savings
Share ADSs, that are considered U.S. residents for purposes of applicable law. To the extent such owners wish to benefit from reduced withholding tax rates on dividends under an income tax treaty, claims for such benefits must be accompanied by the
required information. See Item 10. Additional Information10.6 Taxation.

Item 4.    INFORMATION ON THE TELECOM ITALIA GROUP

4.1     BUSINESS

4.1.1    BACKGROUND

The
legal name of the company is Telecom Italia S.p.A. and it is also known commercially under the brand Tim. Shareholders at the Annual Shareholders Meeting to take place on May 25, 2016 will be proposed an amendment to the companys
bylaws, so that the company be also and alternatively named TIM S.p.A..

Telecom Italia is a joint-stock company established under
Italian law on October 29, 1908, with registered offices in Milan at Via Gaetano Negri 1. The telephone number is +39 (02) 85951. The company is recorded in the Milan Companies Register at number 00488410010, R.E.A. (Repertorio Economico
Amministrativo) at number 1580695 and R.A.E.E. (Rifiuti di Apparecchiature Elettriche ed Elettroniche) register at number IT08020000000799.

Our
Depositary in New York (JP Morgan Chase) is presently located at 4 New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004.

The duration of the company, as stated
in the companys Bylaws, extends until December 31, 2100.

After the effectiveness of the demerger of Telco S.p.A. (previously the largest
shareholder of Telecom Italia and whose investors were Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A., Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A., Mediobanca S.p.A. and Telefónica S.A.) on June 24, 2015, Vivendi S.A. (Vivendi), an integrated media and content group
based in France, increased its ownership stake in Telecom Italia to 14.9% of Ordinary Shares, becoming our largest shareholder. In the following months, Vivendi has increased its shareholding in the Company and, as of October 22, 2015, Vivendi held,
directly and indirectly, 20.03% of the ordinary share capital of Telecom Italia.

At the Shareholders Meeting held on December 15, 2015,
Vivendis proposal to enlarge the Board of Directors of Telecom Italia from 13 to 17 members was approved, and four new Directors presented by Vivendi were appointed.

In December 2015 and February 2016, Vivendi further increased its shareholding in Telecom Italia, and, as of April 8, 2016, it holds, directly and
indirectly, 24.90% of Ordinary Shares. Vivendi does not hold Savings Shares (or Savings Share ADSs). Vivendi does not have different voting rights in meetings of ordinary shareholders of Telecom Italia.

See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related-Party Transactions for a description of the existing shareholder arrangements.

|v |  | COMPETITION
|- |  | -----------

The market

In 2015, the Italian
telecommunications market continued the trend, which started in the second half of 2014, of a slowdown in the competitive pressure that had been characterized by a significant use of pricing as a lever. As a consequence, there has been a slowdown of
the ongoing decline in the traditional service components, particularly voice traffic.

The key element in the evolution of the market continues to
be the increased penetration of broadband and ultra-broadband, particularly mobile, facilitated also by the greater spread of next-generation handsets.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | --------------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Business Units



The competition in the TLC market continues to be characterized by the following trends: the TLC market
has opened the field to competition from non-traditional operators (in particular Over the Top companies (OTTs) and producers of electronic and consumer devices); on the other hand, telecommunication operators have the opportunity
to develop new over the network services (mainly in the IT and Media fields).

Therefore, for telecommunications operators, in addition
to facing competition from other traditional operators in the sector, including mobile virtual operators (MVOs), which has the greatest impact on market trends, there has also been increased competition from OTTs and device
producers that operate entirely in the digital world.

As a result, the business models of legacy telecommunications operators have had to change to
meet the challenges posed by new entrants and to exploit new opportunities:



|· |  | in Media, with the Web becoming increasingly important as a complementary distribution, broadcasters are increasingly
under pressure from OTTs and from telecommunications and consumer electronics companies;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | in the IT market, the decline of traditional revenues is driving various players toward cloud computing, with the goal
of protecting market share in their core businesses. Telecommunications operators are expected to strengthen in this sector, including through partnerships;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | in the Consumer Electronics market, producers can develop services that can be used through the Internet, building on
handset ownership and management of the user experience, breaking the relationship between customers and TLC operators;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | OTTs have, for some time now, been leading the transformation of the methods of use of TLC services (including voice),
increasingly integrating them with Media and IT.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conversely with regard to the positioning of the telecommunications operators in
converging markets, there are a number of aspects at different levels of evolution:



|· |  | the development of innovative services in the IT market, specifically in cloud services;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the development of new Digital Services, particularly referring to Entertainment (e.g., TV over IP), Smart Home, Digital
Advertising, Mobile Payments and Digital Identity.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition in Fixed-Line Telecommunications

The fixed-line telecommunications market continues to see a significant decline in access and voice revenues due to the reduction in the number of
accesses and rates and to the progressive shift of voice traffic to mobile. Additionally, data transmission revenues have continued to decline. On the other hand, broadband revenue has grown. In recent years, operators have been primarily focused on
increasing broadband penetration and on voice business protection through the introduction of bundled voice, broadband and services deals, in a highly competitive environment that has created pricing pressure.

The evolution of the competitive product offering has also been influenced by consolidation, among competitors, of an approach based on the control of
infrastructure (above all Local Loop Unbundling (LLU)). The main fixed operators are also offering mobile services, including as MVOs.

Competition in the Italian fixed telecommunications market is characterized by the presence, in addition to Telecom Italia, of a number of operators
such as Wind-Infostrada, Fastweb, Vodafone, BT Italia and Tiscali, that have different business models focused on different segments of the market.

In 2015, the migration of customers from fixed-line to mobile telephony services continued, as well as the migration to alternative communications
solutions (Voice Over IP, messaging applications and social network chat). This shift has been facilitated by the use of the Internet, the spread of broadband, personal computers and other connected devices and the enhanced quality of service.

At December 31, 2015, fixed accesses in Italy numbered approximately 20.2 million (including full-infrastructured OLOs and FWA-Fixed Wireless
Access), a decline from 2014. The competition in the access market has led to a gradual reduction in Telecom Italias market share.

In the
broadband market, at December 31, 2015, fixed broadband customers in Italy reached a penetration rate on fixed accesses of about 74%.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Business Units



The spread of broadband services is driven not only by the penetration of personal computers and of
other connected devices (e.g., Smart TV), but also by the growing demand for speed and access to new IP-based services (Contentparticularly Video, social networking services, Voice over IP, etc.).

Competition in Mobile Telecommunications

The mobile market, saturated and mature in its traditional component of voice services, has continued to experience a decline in the number of lines.
This development may be associated with a rationing by customers of second and third SIM cards. As of December 31, 2015, mobile lines in Italy numbered about 92.7 million, down by about 1.7% compared to 2014. However, penetration
rates remain high at about 152% of the population).

The decreasing trend in revenues from components of traditional services such as voice and
messaging continues, due to the competition among TLC operators and to the growing expansion of communication apps. However, in 2015, this trend has recorded a progressive improvement compared to 2013 and the first half of 2014. Mobile
broadband continues to grow and, though it is unable to offset the drop in revenues from traditional services, represents the main strategic and business opportunity for the mobile TLC industry, also due to the launch of LTE ultra-broadband.

In 2015, the growth in mobile broadband customers continued, thanks to the development of the small screen component, with a high penetration rate on
mobile lines, mainly due to the increasing spread of smartphones.

Alongside innovative services that have already been introduced and are under
full-scale development, as in the case of mobile apps, there are other market environments, associated with the development of mobile broadband, with major potential for growth in the medium term, such as Internet of Things (the network of physical
objectsdevices, vehicles, buildings and other itemsembedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data) and mobile payment.

Competition in the Italian mobile telecommunications market is mainly characterized by the presence of Telecom Italia and of the other operators
who own their networks (Vodafone, Wind, H3G). Moreover, in August 2015, VimpelCom and CK Hutchinson announced an agreement for a joint venture between Wind and 3 Italia, subject to the required regulatory approvals.

In addition to these operators, the field also includes MVOs, among which PosteMobile is the most important player. These operators continue to enjoy
significant growth rates as compared to network operators.

4.2.2    BRAZIL

The Telecom Italia Group operates in the mobile and fixed telecommunications sector in Brazil through the TIM Brasil group which offers mobile services
using UMTS, GSM and LTE technologies. With the acquisitions of 700MHz and 2.5GHz radiofrequencies, the focus is on speeding up the development of 3G and 4G networks. Moreover, with the acquisitions of Intelig Telecomunicações in 2009
and of Tim Fiber RJ and Tim Fiber SP in 2011 (now merged into Tim Celular S.A.), the portfolio of services was expanded by offering fiber optic data transmission using full IP technology such as DWDM and MPLS and offering residential broadband
services.

|v |  | MARKETING
|- |  | ---------

With the rapid change in the profile of consumption of telecommunications services by Brazilian users, TIM Brasil continued its efforts to innovate its
offerings for all customer segments (Prepaid, Control and Postpaid) effectively eliminating different rates for calls within and outside the TIM Brasil network. This effort is intended to increase the convenience of the companys voice and data
bundles in all segments. TIM Brasil took this step in order to reduce the usage of multiple SIM cards per user. This change aims to help TIM Brasil protect and increase the value of the prepaid customer base, where the company continues to be a
leader, and grow its base of postpaid customers by providing more complete voice and data offers at reasonable prices, which could stimulate usage growth.

Although still preliminary, the first results of TIM Brasils new offers are very encouraging in terms of attracting new clients, generating new
gross additions, increasing ARPU and meeting projected margin targets. These new offers are helping to improve the results of Mobile Number Portability relative to all other operators, across customer segments, beginning from the launch month of the
new portfolio.



|v |  | DISTRIBUTION
|- |  | ------------

As of December 31, 2015, we had more than 13.1 thousand points of sales through premium shops and dealers (exclusive or multi-brand) and consolidated
partnerships with large retail chains. This figure includes 182 of TIM Brasils own stores. In addition to these retail stores, TIM Brasil customers have access to prepaid phone services through supermarkets, newsstands, and other small
retailers, totaling more than 328,000 points of sale throughout Brazil.

For the corporate market, TIM Brasil has more than 465 third-party business
partners focused on serving small and medium-size companies and a direct sales force team of 95 employees focused on large companies.

In order to
serve the customer base of over 66.2 million customers, TIM Brasil maintains 16 customer care centers comprising around 14 thousand customer service representatives. Moreover, TIM Brasil has continuously invested in alternative customer service
channels, developing solutions based on interactive voice response and self-service and mobile applications for iOS and Android.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



4.3    REGULATION

4.3.1    THE EU REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Telecom Italias operations within the European Union (EU) are subject to the EU framework on electronic communications regulation,
which includes directives, regulations, recommendations and communications. As a Member State of the EU, Italy is required to transpose directives issued by the EU into national legislation. The regulations adopted by the European Commission
(EC) have general application and are binding and directly applicable in each Member State without the need of further national implementation. Recommendations and communications, on the other hand, are not legally binding although they
have to be taken into account by each Member State.

The European Commission (EC) began liberalizing the telecommunications market in
the late 1980s and early 1990s. In Italy, as well as in all the main EU Member States, liberalization opened up competition for public voice telephony and public network infrastructure in 1998. National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs),
independent bodies tasked with regulating and supervising the telecommunications sector and compliance with the EU framework, were created. In Italy, this body is known as the Autorità Garante per le Comunicazioni (AGCom).

The growing convergence between telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology led to a first revision and consolidation of the EU
Regulatory Framework in 2002. Five Directives (the directives Framework, Access and Interconnection, Authorization, Universal Service and Users Rights Privacy and Data Protection),
regulating all forms of fixed and wireless telecommunications, data transmission and broadcasting were adopted.

This legal framework was revised a
second time in 2007, with the aim of defining a more consistent framework for the sector. The revision of the framework implemented in 2007 established a set of rules composed by the Better Regulation Directive (Directive 2009/140/EC,
amending the Framework, Access and Authorization directives) and the Citizens Rights Directive (Directive 2009/136/EC amending the Universal Service and
E-Privacy directives and the Regulation 2006/2004 on Consumer Protection Cooperation) and by Regulation no. 1211/2009, establishing the Body of European Regulators for Electronic
Communications (BEREC), a body with consultative tasks. The new EU telecommunication rules were adopted on December 18, 2009, to be transposed into national laws by May 25, 2011.

The revised directives were transposed into the Italian legal framework by means of the Legge Comunitaria 2010; the Italian Government was
delegated to adopt the measures to transpose the revised directives. The Legislative Decrees of May 28, 2012 (nos. 69 and 70) transposing the EU 2009 regulatory framework entered into force on June 1, 2012.

A Recommendation on relevant product and service markets susceptible of ex ante regulation completes this set of legal instruments with the
definition of a list of relevant markets. The Recommendation identifies those product and service markets whose characteristics may be such as to justify the imposition of regulatory obligations set out in specific directives (EC
explanatory note of October 9, 2014). The Recommendation currently in effect (no. 2014/710/UE) was published on October 9, 2014, following updates in 2003 and 2007. The number of relevant markets subject to ex ante regulation has been reduced over
time from 18 to 4, following the growth of the competition in the whole sector (see Market Analyses).

The EC adopted in 2010 a
Communication, the Digital Agenda for Europe (the DAE), fixing the long-term strategies of the EU for Broadband distribution and development. The DAE sets a list of objectives in terms of Broadband coverage, service
availability and degree of utilization by customers to be reached in 2013 and 2020.

In parallel the EC undertook many interventions on the
regulation aimed at removing any regulatory obstacle to reach the goals of DAE.

In September 2013, the EC published a Recommendation on
consistent non-discrimination obligations and costing methodologies to promote competition and enhance the broadband investment environment (no. 2013/5761). The Recommendation recommends to impose the Equivalence of Input (EoI) for
the application of the regulatory remedy of non-discrimination and defines the criteria to lift price regulation of New Generation Access Network (NGAN) wholesale services when the following conditions are satisfied: (a) application
of the

principle of the EoI, (b) ability to technically and economically replicate retail offers and (c) presence of significant competitive constraints exerted by the legacy copper access
network or by alternative networks.

The appropriate level of return on capital to be included in regulated wholesale prices for operators investing
in new high-speed networks is of fundamental importance to reach the objectives of the Digital Agenda. The EC wants to grant operators regulatory consistency and predictability to incentivize efficient investment and innovation.

The principle of cost recovery to be utilized by the NRA must respect the principle that prices will ensure that operators can cover efficiently
incurred costs and receive an appropriate return on invested capital (Recommendation no. 2013/5761).

During 2013, the EC also began revising
the regulatory context concerning: harmonization of the radio spectrum, rights of end users, net neutrality and intra-EU mobile roaming (the Telecom Single Market Regulation or TSM Regulation). After lengthy negotiations
among the European Institutions and reduction of its scope, the TSM Regulation was approved in November 2015, covering intra-EU international roaming and Net Neutrality (see below).

The TSM Regulation, approved in November 2015, introduces new rules on intra-EU roaming by amending the roaming Regulation no. 531/2012 (the so-called
Roaming III Regulation), which entered into force on July 1, 2012.

On May 6, 2015 the EC presented the Digital Single Market (DSM)
Strategy for Europe.

The DSM Strategy sets out 16 key actions under 3 pillars which the EC will deliver by the end of 2016:



|1. | Better access to digital goods and services across Europe for consumers and businesses: breaking down of barriers to EU
cross-border e-Commerce (e.g., differences in contract law among Member States, unjustified geo-blocking, high tariffs for cross-border parcel delivery, copyright rules and different VAT regimes);
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | Creating the right conditions and a level playing field for advanced digital networks and innovative services to
flourish: promotion of high-speed, secure and trustworthy infrastructure and content services, supported by appropriate regulatory conditions for investment, fair competition and a level playing field;
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | Maximizing the growth potential of the digital economy: promotion of investment in ICT infrastructure and technology,
such as Cloud computing and Big Data, and research and innovation to boost industrial competiveness, better public services, inclusiveness and skills.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The review of the regulatory framework for electronic communications is one of the 16 actions of the DSM Strategy and a key element for creating the
right conditions for digital networks and services to flourish (second pillar of the Strategy).

The EC carried out a public consultation from
September 11 to December 7, 2015. The public consultation focused on the original instruments for the regulatory framework (i.e., Framework Directive, Access Directive, Authorization Directive, Universal Service Directive), including the BEREC
Regulation. The e-Privacy Directive (to be reviewed after the General Data Protection Regulation is adopted), the EU Roaming Regulation and the Broadband Cost Reduction Directive are not included.

The consultation covers all three main pillars of the framework, namely:



|(a) | the network pillar, intended to ensure a consistent and predictable regulatory environment that is supportive for
infrastructure investments in both fixed and wireless networks;
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | the service pillar, intended to foster a modern regulatory regime for electronic communication services in a world of
diverse online services, and
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | the governance pillar, intended to ensure that markets are regulated in a consistent manner across the EU, including
with respect to access to spectrum.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The review will be preceded by a Regulatory Fitness and Performance Program (REFIT)
evaluation aimed at assessing whether the current regulatory framework is fit for purpose.

The EC will present a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and EU Council in the second half
of 2016.

The new framework will have to be subsequently transposed in the national legislation, therefore new rules will apply beyond 2020.



|v |  | International Roaming: current rules
|- |  | ------------------------------------

The Roaming III Regulation provides for the following measures applicable to roaming services within the EU (extended to European Economic Area
countries):



|1. | transparency measures, such as information SMS to customers on the applied retail tariffs;
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | the adoption of retail and wholesale price caps for voice, SMS and data services;
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | the unbundling/decoupling of the roaming services from the domestic services starting from July 2014 (decoupling
solution). With the decoupling solution, the customer can buy roaming services separately from domestic services from an alternative roaming provider, which can be a Mobile Network Operator (MNO), a Mobile Virtual Network
Operators (MVNO) or a reseller; and

In December 2012, the EC published the implementing regulation (EU n. 1203/2012), indicating Single International mobile
subscriber identity (IMSIreselling of all roaming services) and Local Break Out (LBOdirect access to roaming data services of the visited network) as the decoupling solutions to be implemented by
MNOs.



|v |  | New rules introduced by the TSM Regulation on International Roaming
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

The TSM Regulation provides for the abolishing of any roaming service surcharge on top of domestic service prices for a limited traffic quantity, defined
according to fair use rules, to be defined by the European Commission by the end of 2016.

For intra-EU traffic exceeding the fair use
limits, operators will be allowed to levy a surcharge on top of domestic tariffs; such surcharge will be capped at the wholesale caps defined in the Roaming III Regulation.

From April 2016 (when the TSM provisions will start to apply) to June 2017, pending the review of the wholesale market required to make the Roam
Like at Home regime economically sustainable, operators will be allowed to levy a surcharge on top of domestic tariffs (wholesale caps defined in the Roaming III Regulation) for all intra-EU roaming traffic.

The TSM Regulation abolishes the decoupling obligations according to the Single IMSI model (i.e., separate selling of roaming services from domestic
mobile services) introduced by the Roaming III Regulation.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



|v |  | New rules introduced by the TSM Regulation on Net Neutrality
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

The TSM Regulation introduces new rules onNet Neutrality, which will apply starting in April 2016. In particular, the TSM Regulation:



|· |  | establishes the right of end-user access to distribute information and content, use and provide applications and
services and use terminal equipment of their choice and forbids internet service providers from blocking or slowing down specific content, applications or services, except in a very limited set of circumstances;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | allows reasonable traffic management aimed at improving the quality of the network based on objectively different
technical quality of service requirements for specific categories of traffic. However, such traffic management must be transparent, non-discriminatory and proportionate and it must not be based on commercial considerations;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | allows operators to offer services, other than internet access services, that are optimized for specific content,
applications or services only if the network capacity is sufficient to provide them in addition to any internet access services provided and the offering of such services is not to the detriment of the availability or general quality of internet
access services for end-users; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | allows commercial practices such as zero rating2,
subject to monitoring by the National Regulatory Authority.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The TSM Regulation also places additional transparency obligations on
providers of internet access services in addition to those already included in the 2009 Electronic Communications Regulatory Framework. Contracts for internet access services must include:



|1. | information on how applied traffic management measures could impact the quality of internet access, end-users
privacy and the protection of personal data;
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | explanation as to how any volume limitation, speed and other quality of service parameters may in practice impact
internet access;
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | explanation as to how any specialized services, to which the end-user subscribes, might in practice have an impact on
the same end-users internet access services;
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | for fixed networks: explanation of minimum, maximum and advertised download and upload speeds of internet access
services;
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | for mobile networks: the estimated maximum and advertised download and upload speed of internet access services; and
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6. | explanation of the remedies available to consumers in case of any continuous or regularly occurring discrepancy between
the actual and contractually agreed on performance of the internet access service.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3.2    THE
ITALIAN REGULATORY FRAMEWORK



|v |  | The legal Basis
|- |  | ---------------

The legal basis for the electronic communications sector in Italy is as follows:



|· |  | the Electronic Communications Code (ECC), which transposed into national law the EU
Access, Authorization, Framework and Universal Service directives;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the Data Protection Code;
|- |  | ---------------------------



|· |  | the Consolidated Law on Radio-Television containing the principles regulating the organization of
radio-television system and its convergence with different means of interpersonal and mass communications;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2 | Zero-rating (also called toll-free data or sponsored data) is the practice of mobile network operators (MNO), mobile
virtual network operators (MVNO), and Internet Service Providers (ISP) not to charge end customers for data used by specific applications or internet services through their network, in limited or metered data plans. It allows customers to use
provider-selected content sources or data services like an app store, without worrying about bill shocks, which could otherwise occur if the same data was normally charged according to their data plans and volume caps. This has especially become an
option to market 4G networks, but has also been used in the past for SMS or other content services.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



|v |  | The Italian regulatory framework
|- |  | --------------------------------

In July 2008, Telecom Italia proposed to AGCom several commitments related to its access network (Undertakings) aimed at integrating
and strengthening the non-discrimination obligations (imposed by AGCom since 2002) amongst Telecom Italias own retail divisions and other operators providing wholesale access network services.

AGCom approved Telecom Italias Undertakings, which are divided into 14 main Groups and pursue the following goals:



|· |  | offering additional guarantees of equal treatment amongst Telecom Italias commercial divisions and other
electronic communications operators (Operators) when they purchase wholesale access services from Telecom Italia;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | providing benefits to Operators and final users, through the improvement in the quality of the fixed access network and
of related services;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | making the evolution of Telecom Italias fixed access network more transparent for Operators; and
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | ensuring competitive conditions in the migration towards new generation networks.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the beginning of 2008, Telecom Italia created its Open Access department, a separate operating unit focusing its activities on the implementation of
the Undertakings. To ensure equal treatment for its own retail divisions and those of the Operators (internal-external equal treatment), Telecom Italia undertook a set of initiatives focused on three main areas:



|· |  | technical-organizational domain for the solutions and for the improvement of the internal delivery processes;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | cultural-behavioral domain providing for a Code of Conduct and for intensive training activities, carried out in order
to spread the principles of internal-external equal treatment; and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | economic-regulatory domain regarding the service contracts and the transfer charges adopted to implement equality of
economic treatment.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The implementation of the Undertakings, their complexity and their impact on the stakeholders system,
also required the creation of a governance system. In particular, the following bodies were set up: an independent supervisory body (the Supervisory Board); the AGCom Undertakings Monitoring Group for the monitoring of the
work in progress (Gruppo per il Monitoraggio degli Impegni GMI), the Italian Office of Telecommunications Adjudicator (OTA Italia) whose mission is to prevent and settle disputes amongst Operatorsand the
Next Generation Network Committee submitting possible solutions to technical, organizational and economic issues raised by the transition to the Next Generation Network.

As a consequence of its Undertakings, Telecom Italia set up in 2010 a New Delivery Process (NDP) in order to offer additional
efficiency and transparency in the equality of treatment of Alternative Network Operators (AltNets) and retail customers. In particular, the new process allows for identical operating procedures in the treatment of retail and
wholesale customers where services cannot be activated due to a lack of required network resources.

On November 5, 2015, Telecom Italias
Board approved a plan to introduce a new equivalence model, aimed at further strengthening the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery (activation) and assurance (support) processes for its wholesale access services.

The new equivalence model aims to put Telecom Italias sales divisions on equal footing, relative to one another and other operators, in order to
achieve more effective internal and external equality of treatment and greater transparency in the management of line activation requests.

As an
initial and immediate step in the process of implementing the equivalence model, Telecom Italia put in place an organizational structure that will affect Open Access and National Wholesale Services. Pursuant to this new organizational structure,
these two functions will report hierarchically to the same manager of a newly created Wholesale department.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



Telecom Italia intends to invest over 120 million euros to strengthen equality of access to its
infrastructure. The process is expected to be implemented within 18 to 24 months, reflecting the most recent regulatory guidelines and providing for strong interaction among the various players in the ecosystem for the assessment of performance.

4.3.3    MARKET ANALYSES

The EU regulatory framework (Art. 16 of the Framework Directive) obliges National Regulatory Authorities to carry market analyses before imposing
obligations on individual operators having a Significant Market Power (SMP) according to the specific EU guidelines.

According
to art. 14.2 of the Directive an undertaking is deemed to have SMP when, either individually or jointly with others, it enjoys a position equivalent to dominance, which is a position of economic strength providing the company itself with
the power to behave, to an appreciable extent, independently of competitors, customers and ultimately consumers. Market shares are normally used as a proxy for market power: while undertakings with market shares of no more than 25% are not
likely to enjoy a (single) dominant position, single dominance concerns normally arise in the case of undertakings with market shares of over 40%. Market shares in excess of 50% are in themselves, except in exceptional circumstances, evidence of the
existence of a dominant position.

The basis of the market analyses is the Recommendation on relevant markets susceptible of ex ante
regulation which identifies the relevant markets. The first version of the Recommendation was adopted in 2003 and contained a list of 18 relevant markets. In 2007 the EC adopted the second version and reduced the number of markets
to 7 (both retail and wholesale markets): retail access at a fixed location (market 1) and, at wholesale level, call origination at a fixed location (market 2); call termination at a fixed location (market 3): wholesale (physical) network
infrastructure access (including shared or fully unbundled access) at a fixed location (market 4); wholesale broadband access (market 5); wholesale terminating segments of leased lines (market 6) and voice call termination on mobile networks
(market 7).

In October 2014, the EC adopted the third version which is currently in force and identifies only five wholesale markets susceptible to
ex-ante regulation: call termination at fixed location (market 1), call termination on mobile networks (market 2), local access at fixed location (market 3a), central access at fixed location for mass-market products (market 3b), high-quality access
at fixed location (market 4).

The market analyses carried out by NRAs are subject to the assessment of the EC which, to a certain extent, can
challenge the NRAs findings, having a veto power on the definition of the market and on the identification of SMP operators. Vice-versa, the EC has no veto power for what concerns the imposition of the remedies, but can raise
serious doubts following which the BEREC is requested to give an opinion. The EC, the BEREC and the NRA then must cooperate to find a solution within three months. Neither the EC nor BEREC are able to make a binding intervention. The NRA can decide
not to amend or withdraw its decision on remedies but it must provide a reasoned justification.

Following a first round (2006-2007) and
a second round (2007-2010) of market analyses, a third round was started by AGCom in 2012 (with two years of delay). As of April 8, 2016 the third round has not been completed. In particular, the market analyses of the fixed interconnection market
are still ongoing, and with respect to the fixed access, the terminating segments of the leased lines markets and mobile call termination, the analyses were concluded in the second half of 2015 despite the proceedings being launched in September
2012, November 2013 and February 2014, respectively.

With respect to retail markets, despite the fact that they are not included in the current
list of the EU relevant markets (Recommendation of 2014), the final AGCom decision of the market analysis on wholesale access markets, retained some obligations, such as the notification of retail charges prior to the commercial launch and the
obligation to carry a replicability test of the retail offers (taking into account the most efficient network architecture that could be used by AltNets to compete in a specific context).

A description of the wholesale market analyses is summarized below together with the main recent developments regarding the electronic communications
markets.

4.3.4    WHOLESALE MARKETS



|v |  | Wholesale fixed access markets
|- |  | ------------------------------

In September 2012, AGCom launched the third round of market analysis on wholesale and retail access markets (markets 1, 4 and 5 of 2007 Recommendation)
to set the remedies to be applied to copper and fiber networks (Decision 390/12/CONS). In March 2013, AGCom published Decision 238/13/CONS, covering the period from 2014 to 2016, and, on February 13, 2015, submitted for public consultation a change
of Decision 238/13/CONS, extending the covered period to 2017 (Decision 42/15/CONS).

On December 22, 2015, AGCom published the final Decision
(623/15/CONS) on market analyses.

The main features relate to the following items:



|· |  | Non-discrimination
|- |  | ------------------

The Decision provides for an increased level of non-discrimination. AGCom confirms the application of the Equality of Output (EoO)
model with certain amendments. In particular, the Decision:



|· |  | introduces strict Service Level Agreements (SLA) and penalties;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | imposes specific access obligations to allow the provision of certain ancillary services, such as line activation and
fault repair, by third parties in a competitive environment;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | introduces a new set of quality-of-service key performance indicators and objectives (KPIs and KPOs);
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | simplifies and reduces certain differences, with respect to retail services, of the supply processes, e.g., by giving
access to the same network and customer address databases (equivalence of network information) to various operators.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decision also requires Telecom Italia to submit two options on the assurance and supply for the Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) and
Sub-Loop Unbundling (SLU). This is a completely new obligation which may entail significant operative burdens and challenges. Specifically:



|· |  | pursuant to the first option, Telecom Italia keeps the coordination role for the external maintenance companies and for
their relationships with the other operators;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | pursuant to the second option, the other operators may acquire full autonomy in the contractual relationships with
external firms and, in addition, these firms may have direct access to Telecom Italias network and information systems.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|Ø |  | Price control and transparency
|- |  | ------------------------------

In the final decision, access service charges are cost oriented, according to the Bottom-Up Long Run Incremental Costs model based on Current Costs
Accounting (BU-LRIC CCA) methodology and taking into consideration a value of the regulated WACC of 8.77% (reduced from the former value of 9.36%).

For purposes of determining the charges for NGA services, AGCom used the BU-LRIC model as defined in the decision n. 238/13/CONS with some
methodological improvements to account for network typology, in particular Fiber to the Curb (FTTC) and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) accesses.

AGCom did not introduce any geographic differentiation for Virtual Unbundling of the Local Access (VULA) in terms of price and regulation.
Moreover, Telecom Italia is now obliged to propose a Reference Offer for AGComs approval every year by July 31 for each wholesale service (the deadline for the issue of the Reference Offer has been anticipated of three months).

|(*) | AGCom approved wholesale NGA prices for the year 2013 (Decisions 68/14/CIR, 69/14/CIR and 128/14/CIR).
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|Ø |  | Terminating segment of leased lines
|- |  | -----------------------------------

On October 28, 2013, AGCom launched the third round of market analysis on terminating segments of leased lines (market 6 of the 2007 Recommendation) and
on November 17, 2014, the relevant public consultation was launched, which closed on January 16, 2015. Upon conclusion of the consultation, AGCom decided to maintain the same regulation as during the previous market analysis cycle,
although with a modification of the 2015-2017 prices of Ethernet terminating lines and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) and Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) terminating lines with speed <= 155Mbit/s
(more specifically, a reduction of between RPI-6% and RPI-8.6% per annum- RPIRetail Price Index). PDH/SDH terminating line prices with speed > 155Mbit/s were set based on the pure
cost orientation.

Specifically, AGComs decision (published on August 3, 2015) does not introduce significant changes compared to the previous
market analysis. In particular:



|· |  | Telecom Italia is regulated in the product sub-market (A) covering the provision of dedicated capacity between an end
user and an alternative network operators point of presence at a TI node;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the other product sub-market (B) for dedicated capacity for Mobile Base Station (BTS) backhaul is
competitive and therefore unregulated;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Telecom Italias trunk (inter-regional) segments of leased lines were deregulated in 2010 together with retail
leased lines.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



In the same decisions AGCom confirmed the second rounds obligations and imposed a set of
regulatory remedies referring to sub-market (A) including: access to, and use of specific network facilities, transparency, including the publication of a Reference Offer on July 31 of every year; non-discrimination, accounting separation, cost
accounting. In relation to the price control obligation, for the period 2015  2017, the price setting is based on a Network cap mechanism only for the following baskets of sub-market A:



|· |  | Terminating segment on PDH and speeds up to 155 Mbit/s and Terminating segment on Ethernet over SDH:
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Access: RPI6.0%;
| | - |  | -----------------



| | · |  | Backhaul: RPI8.6%.
| | - |  | -------------------



|Ø |  | Wholesale fixed interconnection markets
|- |  | ---------------------------------------

With respect to the fixed call termination, origination and transit services (markets 2 and 3 of the 2007 Recommendation; market 2 has been removed from
the 2014 Recommendation), AGCom withdrew its draft decision following the serious doubts letter sent by the EC while, in November 2013, AGCom approved the cost model to set the glide path for fixed interconnection rates for the period from July 1,
2013 to December 1, 2015.

Regulated termination rates were applied to all operators, but AGCom confirmed the asymmetrical termination tariffs
applied in 2012 until June 30, 2013.

Moreover, the final document set the interconnection fees for both Time Division Multiplexing
(TDM) (or legacy network) and Internet Protocol (IP) interconnection. Under the technological neutrality principle, a single tariff applies, regardless of the level of interconnection on the TDM network.

The 2015 prices are entirely set on the basis of a pure BU-LRIC model assuming a full IP network.

Interconnection rates for the periods indicated are set forth in the table below:



|                                                                          |  |                |       |  |                |  |       |                |  |  |       |

On April 20, 2015, AGCom launched a proceeding related to the third round of market analysis of the fixed voice
termination market in order to regulate fixed interconnection rates. The data-gathering activities to fill out the AGCom qualitative-quantitative Questionnaire are completed and the related public consultation was launched on April 4, 2016.



|Ø |  | Wholesale mobile markets
|- |  | ------------------------

Termination on mobile networks is susceptible to ex ante regulation pursuant to the Recommendation of 2014. In this respect, on February 11, 2014, AGCom
launched the fourth round of a market analysis on mobile termination rates and on February 9, 2015, AGCom published a public consultation focused on the following items:



|· |  | the confirmation of the end of the price asymmetry in favor of H3G, starting from January 2014;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the introduction of the same obligations applicable to the traditional Mobile Network Operators

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



On September 30, 2015, AGCom published a final decision (no. 497/15/CONS). Specifically, AGCom:



|· |  | confirmed the four MNOs (Telecom Italia, Vodafone, Wind, H3G) and, for the first time, also the 4 full MVNOs (BT Italia,
Lycamobile, Noverca, Postemobile) as having SMP;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | fixed, for the years 20142017, the efficient rate of termination not to exceed 0.98 eurocents/min,
extending its application to MVNO in addition to mobile operators;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | confirmed the end of the price asymmetry in favor of H3G;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | explicitly excluded call termination rates for calls originating outside the European Economic Area (EEA) from the scope
of price regulation, leaving these rates to be negotiated among parties; and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | set the WACC on the mobile network at the level of 10.25% (a different value than the WACC on fixed network).
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3.5    ACCOUNTING SEPARATION AND NETWORK COST
ACCOUNTING

SMP operators are required to have a transparent accounting system of their costs and to provide AGCom on a yearly
basis with both a description and a report on their cost accounting system to assess their compliance with the requirements of the electronic telecommunications regulatory framework.

Moreover, SMP fixed and mobile operators must maintain an accounting system that separates the activities in each of the relevant wholesale and retail
markets defined by AGCom according to the periodic Market Analyses.

The rules on regulatory accounting in Italy are set in accordance
with EC Recommendations, particularly with Recommendation on Cost Accounting and Accounting Separation, issued in September 2005.

Changes in the regulation on cost accounting and accounting separation follow rules set out in periodic Market Analyses.

Through Decision 623/15/CONS on fixed access Market Analyses for the period 20152017, AGCom set the average cost of capital employed (WACC) for
fixed networks at 8.77% nominal pre tax. Telecom Italia asked to review this decision because it believes that this value is too low.

Through
Decision 497/15/CONS on mobile termination for the period 20152017, AGCom set the WACC for the mobile network at 10.25% nominal pre tax.

The
regulatory accounting report for the year 2012 was produced during 2013 and delivered to AGCom in November 2013. The audit was completed in 2015 by the auditor appointed by AGCom.

The regulatory accounting report for the year 2013 was produced during 2014 and delivered to AGCom in March 2015. The audit was completed in 2015
by the auditor appointed by AGCom.

The regulatory accounting report for the year 2014 was produced during 2015 and delivered to AGCom in January
2016.

4.3.6    RETAIL FIXED MARKETS



|v |  | Retail Offers
|- |  | -------------

In May 2015, Telecom Italia launched a simplification of the tariff offers:



|· |  | the former basic offer for consumer customers was replaced with a flat offer that includes the line rental
and unlimited calls (option Tutto Voce). The basic offer was retained for customers that opt for a single per minute charge for both national and fixed-to-mobile calls. In addition, in July 2015, the billing period was changed from every
two months to monthly billing.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Telecom Italia increased (i) the price of the standard offer for Business users from 22.50 euros to 24.90 euros per
month and (ii) the charge of the ISDN lines, both single and multiple (Basic rate and Primary rate access). For voice call services, the new tariff is composed of a per minute charge of 5 eurocents and a call set-up fee of 30 eurocents.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



In August 2015, Telecom Italia launched the TIM SMART offer. This new bundled offer is characterized by
a modular structure (building blocks) that allows customers to build a package that best suits their needs by starting with a single basic block that can be complemented with additional options. This structure is technologically neutral, as the
customer chooses the speed of access data and not the technology used. The technology is chosen by Telecom Italia based on the coverage available at each customers location.

The basic block includes PSTN access and broadband access (up to 20 Mbit/s).

The basic option available are:



|· |  | TIM SMART Casa: traffic package with unlimited calls to all fixed and mobile numbers;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | TIM SMART Mobile: mobile subscription with a plafond of minutes and gigabytes included;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | TIM SMART Fibra: which enables the increase of access speed up to 100/20 Mbit/s (300/20 Mbit/s in FTTH
areas).
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3.7    QUALITY OF SERVICES



|v |  | The measures to test the quality of the data service on fixed networks
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

AGCom Decision 244/08/CSP and its modifications, namely decision 151/12/CONS introduced the following obligations on quality measures:



|· |  | ISP measurements: the measures of the access quality of the most common retail offers are made by an independent body,
in the geographical areas of the main towns, for each Internet Service Provider (ISP); and
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | End-user measurements: allows a user to measure his own fixed broadband line performances with dedicated software called
Ne.Me.Sys. Each customer can formally certify the quality of his own fixed-line broadband access using this software and can compare the results with the advertised performances. These results could be used by customers to terminate the contract
with the ISP without penalties or to claim QoS parameters levels to be restored. If the results are lower than those advertised, the user may submit a complaint to the provider which is obliged to improve the quality within 30 days. The user may
terminate the contract without penalties if a second measure confirms the parameters.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both measurement methods employ the same
Network Measurement System, based on a software agent running on a standard Personal Computer.



|v |  | Drive test campaigns to test the quality of the data service on the mobile networks
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decision AGCom 154/12/CONS established that drive test campaigns must be carried out every six months in the main towns. From
2014, 40 towns are involved (the two largest towns of each region).

During the campaigns, the parameters that characterize the quality of the data
service on 3G HSDPA mobile networks are measured: Throughput (FTP UL e HTTP DL); Duration (HTTP/HTTPS Browsing); Packet Delay; Packed Loss, Unsuccessful Data Transmission; Jitter.

The video streaming services has been tested since 2015.

To date, the results of the second half 2013 Campaign are available whilst those of the first half 2014 Campaign are being processed.

In 2013/2014 the data services accessible with the internet keys have been the subject of measurement, while in 2015 the measurement was
made on the data services on smartphones. Finally, from 2015 measurements was extended to 4G networks.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



4.3.8    THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE

The Universal Service is a minimum set of services of a certain quality, which must be made available to all customers, regardless of their geographical
location in Italy and must be offered at a reasonable price, taking into account specific national conditions. To date, Telecom Italia is the only operator obliged by the Code of Electronic Communications (art. 58) to provide the Universal Service
under the Universal Service Obligation (USO) throughout Italy. Currently the services included in the USO are the provision of access at a fixed location and of telephone service, the directory inquiry service and the directories,
the availability of public payphones, and the provision of specific measures for disabled users.

A Fund (The Universal service Fund), established
by the Ministry of Communications, is used to finance the net cost for the provision of Universal Service sustained by the designated operator (Telecom Italia) by means of contributions paid by the other operators. All the main companies active in
the sector, including Telecom Italia, must contribute to this fund.

The net cost of providing the USO is calculated as the difference between the
companys cost when it is subject to the obligation of providing the USO and the cost incurred by the same company in the absence of the obligation.

It is AGComs responsibility to verify the net cost of the USO provision and to assess whether this amount represents an unfair burden for the
operator. The designated operator can receive compensation only if the burden is determined to be unfair.

AGCom assessed the net cost and
authorized the funding mechanism until the year 2005 and did not recognize any contribution for the years 2006 and 2007.

In 2008, AGCom published a
decision having retroactive effect, introducing a new methodology to calculate the net cost for the provision of USO, which led to a significant decrease of the amount to be financed.

Telecom Italia submitted the net cost calculations of the USO for the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 to AGCom. The audit of the 2008 and 2009 net
costs was completed in March 2014, but AGCom has not yet issued a final decision.

Generally, the process of setting the USO contribution levels by
the other operators is characterized by litigation and delays. Both Telecom Italia and the other operators have appealed each of AGComs previous decisions.

The Council of State, with a decision published on October 2, 2015, rejected the retroactivity of the criteria introduced by AGComs Decision
01/08/CIR, so the Italian NRA has been called upon to renew all the procedures for the years 2004 to 2007, applying the net cost calculation methodologies which were in effect at the time. The judgment of the Council of State may result in a
reassessment of the net cost for the years 20042007.

Concerning past litigations, the Council of State, with a decision published on July 7,
2015, rejected the appeal filed by Telecom Italia against the decision of the Administrative Court (TAR) regarding the contributions for the years 1999-2000 and 2001-2003. The decision of the Council of State voided AGComs
Decision of 2010 establishing the renewal of the procedures for the years concerned.

Following the State Council decision, Vodafone requested that
Telecom Italia refund the amounts paid for 1999-2000, 2002-2003 and subsequent periods. The Ministry of Economic Development asked Telecom Italia to settle all economic relations, taking into account the actions taken by Vodafone.

The Ministry of Economic Development is responsible for reviewing the scope and definition of the USO every two years and, in September 2014, together
with AGCom, it opened a formal proceeding concerning the identification of the criteria for designating one or more operators responsible for providing the universal service. The proceeding is ongoing.



|v |  | Public Telephony

In 2010, AGCom established that the criteria regarding the distribution of public payphones in Italy was no longer consistent with current social needs
and removed any quantitative obligations for Telecom Italia (i.e. the

obligation to install a specified number of payphones). As a consequence, Telecom Italia is authorized to remove the unprofitable coin-boxes after a consultation with city councils and interested
citizens. At the end of 2015, the total number of public payphones was about 59,000.

4.3.9    CONTRIBUTION
FEES FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF AGCOM

Telecom Italia and
the other operators are obliged to pay contribution fees to fund the running costs of AGCom. These fees are calculated on the basis of each operators revenues and they have given rise to a series of litigation proceedings and appeals among
Telecom Italia, AGCom and other operators. The current situation is described below.

On March 5, 2015, Decision 567/14/CONS on the payment of the
AGCom contribution for the year 2015 (calculated on the 2013 financial statement data) was issued. Notwithstanding the judgment of the TAR and the following judgment of the Council of State, AGCom confirmed the use of the regulatory reporting as
payment calculation base and set the contribution rate at 1.15 per thousand, diverging from the rate of 2 per thousand applied to other markets under AGComs supervision (e.g. media and publishing). Furthermore, the deadline for the payment was
accelerated to April 1, 2015.

Telecom Italia, under reserve, paid 17.5 million euros, calculated on a revenues basis, applying the 2015 AGCom rate
of 1.15 per thousand.

This payment for the 2015 contribution does not involve compliance by the Company with the long dispute between Telecom
Italia and AGCom.

In October, AGCom published its second report on the 2014 overview of the administrative costs and of the total amount of the
collected charges (2014 Annual Report) focused on the electronic communications sector. This last report highlights that AGCom collected from operators of the electronic communications sector amounts that are approximately
euro 1.3 million higher than the costs incurred by AGCom in the same period.

On December 21, 2015, with Decision 691/15/CONS on the Contribution
fee for the year 2014, AGCom requested Telecom Italia to provide within 60 days (February 20, 2016) an additional payment of approximately 9.4 million euros to integrate the amount already paid, under reserve, in 2014 (14.0 million euros); the
additional payment has been done even if it does not involve compliance by the Company with the long dispute between Telecom Italia and AGCom.

With
respect to the 2016 contribution fee, despite the judgment of the TAR and the subsequent judgment of the Council of State, AGCom confirmed the use of the total revenues from sales and services on the 2014 income statement as a payment basis and
raised the contribution rate to 1.4 per thousand. (Decision 668/15/CONS of December 2015). On April 1, 2016 Telecom Italia, under reserve, paid 19.8 million euros calculated on a revenue basis, applying the 2016 AGCom rate of 1.4 per thousand.

4.3.10    BROADBAND AND DIGITAL DIVIDE

Over the last few years, the Government has introduced several measures aimed at fostering the development of fixed and mobile broadband and
ultra-broadband networks through simplified procedures to build the relevant networks.

In this regard, of particular relevance is the recent D.Lgs.
33/2016, implementing Directive 61/20124, which provides:



|· |  | a lighter authorization procedure for the deployment of broadband and ultra-broadband networks;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | simplified rules for innovative digging techniques (mini-trenches) for the deployment of optical fiber equipment;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a right of access for telecommunication operators to public utilities passive infrastructures and common parts of
buildings for the installation of ultra-broadband networks;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | creation of a public infrastructure data base.

|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



Article 14 of Law 221/2012 has modified the criteria to measure the electromagnetic field allowing a
higher flexibility for the installation of radio mobile equipment. The implementation of these criteria is subject to the adoption of guidelines (s.c. Linee Guida). As of today, the guidelines have been published only partially, thus
limiting the scope of the legal reform.



|v |  | Italian Digital Agenda
|- |  | ----------------------

In March 2015, the Italian Government issued a strategic plan for ultra-broadband deployment throughout the country. In order to meet the European
Digital Agenda goals (50% population with at least a 100 Mbps connection and 100% population covered with at least 30 Mbps) by 2020, the Government set the following strategic target:



|· |  | up to 85% of Italian population covered with at least 100 Mbps;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | at least 30 Mbps guaranteed to 100% of population; and
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | at least 100 Mbps guaranteed to public sites (schools and hospitals in particular), industrial areas, the main tourist
areas and logistic hubs;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

based on:



|· |  | technological neutrality, open networks, fair access and non-discriminatory approach;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | lowering the entry level costs;
|- |  | -------------------------------



|· |  | infrastructure Data Base for a better use of existing infrastructure;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a plan structured into clusters based on different competitive NGAN (New Generation Access Network); and
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | harmonization of international electromagnetism limits.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------

In August 2015, the Inter-ministry Committee for Economic Programming (CIPE) issued the economic support levels for the years 2014 to
2020 to achieve the strategic plan for ultra-broadband, following EU Guidelines for the application of state aid rules in connection with the rapid deployment of broadband networks (2013/C 25/01).

On February 2016, MISE signed a Memorandum of Understanding with all Italian Regions, which provided:



|· |  | nearly 1.5 billion euros from CIPE to build in-market failure areas (Cluster C and Cluster D), a state-operated
ultra-broadband network, by in-house company Infratel;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | an additional 1.9 billion euros of regional funding.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Following the EU Commissions approval on state aid rules, Infratel is expected to release a concession for realization, operations and management
of this state-operated ultra-broadband network by May 2016.

This network will be operated at wholesale level with regulated prices that will be
defined by AGCom prior to the bid.

4.3.11    PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

Telecom Italia must comply with Italys Personal Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree June 30, 2003 n. 196), which has been in force since
January 1, 2004.

The Privacy Code is divided into three parts: (1) general data protection principles; (2) additional measures
applicable to organizations in certain areas, including telecommunications services; and (3) sanctions and remedies.

The Privacy Code
applies to all data processing within Italy and also affects organizations not based in Italy but using equipment located in Italy, such as computer-based systems.

According to the Code, personal data shall be processed lawfully and fairly, retained accurately and up to date and must not be excessive or stored for
a longer period than needed. Therefore, information systems shall be configured in order to minimize the use of personal data.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



The data subject (any natural person that is the subject of the personal data) and the
subscriber (any natural or legal person who or which is party to a contract with the provider of publicly available electronic communications services, or is the recipient of such services by means of pre-paid cards) shall receive
preliminary information on the purposes and modalities of data processing.

Prior consent of the data subject is needed to process
personal data, except in specific cases (i.e. obligations imposed by law or by a contract with the data subject). Furthermore, the data subject has the right to access his/her personal data and to obtain information on the purposes and methods of
the processing.



|v |  | Italys Privacy Provisions Related to Specific Processing Operations in the Electronic Communications
Sector
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Italian communication service providers (CSPs) must comply with strict specific obligations that apply
only to the electronic communication sector, which are provided by a specific section of the Privacy Code that transposes the relevant EU Directives.

Notably, with respect to data retention, CSPs are allowed to retain traffic data for a six-month period in order to deal with disputes over billing and
subscriber services. CSPs are also required to retain telephone and electronic communications traffic data for the purpose of detecting and preventing crimes. The data retention terms for crime prevention and prosecution provided by the Italian Data
Protection Code are: 24 months for telephony traffic (fixed and mobile); 12 months for electronic communications traffic; and 30 days for unsuccessful call attempts. However, over the course of 2015 and 2016, Decree no. 7/2015, on urgent
antiterrorism measures, and the subsequent Law no. 21/2016, introduced transitional rules according to which telephone and electronic communication traffic data, as well as unsuccessful call attempts, generated after April 21, 2015 must be retained
until June 30, 2017. Such transitional provisions will cease to apply on July 1, 2017.

Traffic data must be kept and controlled in compliance
with general provisions issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali), which requires CSPs to adopt strict security measures.

Moreover, customer profiling in the electronic communications sector is regulated by the Italian Data Protection Authority. CSPs must obtain the consent
of the data subject for profiling based on individual and detailed personal data, while prior approval of the Italian Data Protection Authority is needed to process aggregated personal data without the data subjects consent.

Concerning direct marketing activities, the general rule is the opt-in system. Nevertheless the Privacy Code also allows the processing of
personal data obtained from directories of subscribers, in order to carry out operator-assisted telephone calls for commercial purposes. Such processing is possible in respect of any entities (i.e. subscriber) that have not exercised their right to
object by having the respective telephone numbers entered in a public opt-out register, which came into force on February 1, 2011.

Finally, CSPs must adopt technical and organizational measures that are adequate in the light of the existing risk, in order to safeguard the security
of their services and to take measures when breaches of personal data occur. Such measures must protect personal data against the risk of their accidental or unlawful destruction or loss and of unauthorized access to the data or of processing
operations that are either unlawful or inconsistent with the purposes for which the data have been collected.

Under the Privacy Code, in case of a
personal data breach, (a security breach leading, accidentally or not, to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed in the context of the provision of a
publicly available communications service) the provider shall inform without delay the Italian Data Protection Authority (currently the Italian Data Protection Authority specified the term in 24 hours for the first communication and in other 3 days
for the communication of further details). Moreover, where the breach is likely to adversely affect the personal data or privacy of a subscriber or other individuals, the provider must also inform them within 3 days.

|v |  | Further relevant provisions
|- |  | ---------------------------

On May 8, 2014, the Data Protection Authority adopted a general provision relating to Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain
Consent Regarding Cookies, requiring that concerned entities be compliant with the simplified arrangements, pursuant to Article 122 of the Privacy Code, by June 2, 2015.

Article 122 of the Privacy Code sets out that storing information, or accessing information already stored in the terminal equipment of subscriber/user
(i.e. by cookies or similar tools such as web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or others), shall only be permitted on condition that the subscriber/user has given his prior consent after being informed by simplified arrangements. Subscriber/users
prior consent is not necessary to install the technical cookies, which are those used exclusively with a view to carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or insofar as this is
strictly necessary to the provider of an information society service that has been explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide the said service.

Telecom Italia implemented the requested measures to comply with the above mentioned provision.

4.3.12    ANTITRUST ISSUES



|v |  | Antitrust in Italy
|- |  | ------------------



|Ø |  | Legislation on competition
|- |  | --------------------------

Telecom Italia is subject to Italian competition law, and namely the Law of October 10, 1990 no. 287 (Provisions aiming at protecting
competition and the market) which set up the AGCM, or Antitrust Authority.

The Antitrust Authority is responsible for:



|(i) | applying Law 287/1990 and supervising: (a) restrictive agreements; (b) abuses of a dominant position; and
(c) concentrations of enterprises;
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | applying, whenever the necessary conditions are met, the relevant EU provisions (i.e., Articles 101 and 102 of the
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union);

|(iii) | applying Legislative Decree September 6, 2005 n. 206 concerning unfair commercial practices; and,
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iv) | monitoring conflicts of interest in the case of individuals holding government positions.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Antitrust Authority may:



|(i) | adopt interim measures; and
|--- | ---------------------------



|(ii) | enforce commitments binding upon the proposing parties in order to dispel identified anticompetitive concerns closing
the investigation without any finding of a violation.

During 2015 two antitrust proceedings involved Telecom Italia before AGCM:



|· |  | Proceeding I 761:on December 23, 2015, AGCM notified Telecom Italia of a final decision determining
the existence of a cartel composed of Telecom Italia and six companies involved in maintenance activities of the Telecom Italia network. Based upon these findings, AGCM imposed a 21.5 million euro administrative fine on Telecom Italia. On February
22, 2016, Telecom Italia appealed the AGCM decision to the Regional Administrative Court of Lazio;

of the European Union (TFEU or Treaty) and covers anticompetitive practices and abuse of dominance, mergers and state aid:



|· |  | anticompetitive practices: agreements between two or more independent market operators which restrict competition are
prohibited by Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. This provision covers both horizontal agreements (between actual or potential competitors operating at the same level of the supply chain) and vertical agreements
(between firms operating at different levels, i.e. agreement between a manufacturer and its distributor). Only limited exceptions are foreseen in the general prohibition. The most obvious example of illegal conduct infringing Article 101 is the
creation of a cartel between competitors (which may involve price-fixing and/or market sharing);
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | abuse of dominance: Article 102 of the Treaty prohibits firms holding a dominant position on a determined market to
abuse that position, for example by charging unfair prices, by limiting production, or by refusing to innovate to the prejudice of consumers;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | mergers: the EC is responsible for reviewing mergers if the annual turnover of the combined businesses exceeds specified
thresholds in terms of global and European sales. In such cases, the EC must be notified of the transaction. Transactions falling below these thresholds may be reviewed by the national competition authorities in the EU Member States; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | state aids: public aid distorting competition and trade within the EU are prohibited (art. 107 of the Treaty). State aid
is defined as an advantage in any form whatsoever conferred on a selective basis to undertakings by national public authorities. Therefore, subsidies granted to individuals or general measures open to all enterprises do not constitute State aid.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, the EC Treaty provides that in some circumstances, government interventions are necessary for a well-functioning and
equitable economy, stating some exceptions and sector specific rules. The Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to rapid development of broadband networks establish that public funding of broadband projects is not
considered state aid if one of three exemptions are used:



|· |  | the public authority invests under the same conditions that would be applied to a private investor (Market Economy
Investor PrincipleMEIP);
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the public contribution is limited to the compensation of the provision of a service of general economic interest
(Services of General Economic Interest principleSGEI);
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | it meets certain conditions (promoting the economic development of underdeveloped areas, promoting the execution of an
important project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, facilitating the development of certain activities or areas, promoting culture and heritage conservation).
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EC is empowered by the Treaty to apply these prohibition rules and holds a number of investigative powers to that end (e.g. inspection at business
and non-business premises, written requests for information, etc.). It may also impose fines on undertakings which infringe the EU antitrust rules. The main rules on procedures are set out in Council Regulation (EC) 1/2003.

Since May 1, 2004 all National Competition Authorities have also been empowered to fully apply EU Antitrust rules (i.e. Articles 101 and 102 of the
TFEU) in order to ensure that competition is not distorted or restricted. National courts may also apply these provisions in order to protect the individual rights conferred on citizens by the Treaty. State aids rules, on the contrary, can only be
applied by the EC.

As part of the overall enforcement of EU competition law, the EC has also developed and implemented a policy on the application
of EU competition law to actions for damages before national courts. It also cooperates with national courts in order to ensure the coherent application of the EU competition rules within the Member States.

4.3.13    TELECOMMUNICATION REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN BRAZIL

Telecom Italia Groups operations in Brazil are subject to the 1997 General Law on Telecommunications (Lei Geral de
TelecomunicaçõesLGT) and to a comprehensive regulatory framework for the provision of telecommunications services adopted by the Regulatory Agency for TelecommunicationsAgência Nacional de
Telecomunicações (ANATEL).

ANATEL is responsible for the regulation and implementation of national policies in
matter of telecommunications. It is a quasi-independent body (the relationship with the Ministry of Communication is institutional, but not hierarchical) enjoying financial and operational autonomy and a wide range of functions and powers, to ensure
competition and to avoid concentration of services. The board members have a fixed term, are selected and appointed by the President under approval by the Senate.

ANATEL has the power to impose restrictions, limitations or conditions on concessions, permits or authorizations. ANATEL has the authority to propose
and issue legally binding regulations on telecommunications service providers. The rules issued by ANATEL are subject to periodic updates. Any proposed regulation or action by ANATEL is subject to a period of public consultation, which may include
public hearings, and can be challenged in Brazilian courts.

ANATEL privatized the former public monopolistic operator and progressively opened the
market to competition, in addition to promoting universal access to basic telecommunications services.

With regard to the operational activity of
TIM Brasil, ANATEL developed regulations for mobile communication services (SMPPersonal Mobile Services), fixed communications services (STFC) and data transmission and multimedia services
(SCM).

In 2010 virtual mobile operators were allowed to enter the market upon commercial agreements with the established
operators.



|v |  | Authorizations
|- |  | --------------

ANATEL carried out the privatization of the former public monopoly operator and gradually opened the sector to competition, in addition to fostering
universal access to basic telecom services. According to the General Telecommunications Law and to the regulations issued by ANATEL, licenses to provide telecommunications services are granted either under the public regime, by means of a Concession
or a Permission, or under the private regime, by means of an Authorization. Only certain fixed-line service providers are currently operating under the public regime (Telefónica, Embratel and Oi, commonly referred to as
Concessionaires). All the other telecommunications services providers in Brazil are currently operating under the private regime, including all the mobile and data service providers.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



Since the launch of GSM mobile services in 2002, four main players operate in the mobile market (Claro,
Vivo, Oi and TIM) and compete nationwide. Third generation mobile services were introduced in 2008 while fourth generation mobile services started in 2012.

The authorizations for fixed and mobile services give the Telecom Italia Group (which operates under the brand name TIM Brasil) coverage of the entire
country of Brazil allowing it to provide fixed, mobile, long distance and multimedia services.

According to Brazilian law, Internet access is
considered a value-added service, and providers of Internet services are not considered to be telecommunications operators.

The rules require that
all telecommunications services operators allow network access to any interested party to provide value-added services, without discrimination, unless technically impossible. The voice service providers can also provide value-added service
through their own networks.



|v |  | Interconnection rules
|- |  | ---------------------

Telecommunication operators must publish a public interconnection offer highlighting both economic and technical conditions and are subject to the
General Interconnection Regulatory Framework enforced by ANATEL in 2005.

Until 2016, the interconnection charges for fixed network
(TU-RL) amount to a percentage of retail prices for the incumbent operators. Alternative operators (including TIM) can apply asymmetrical interconnection rates exceeding up to 20% the one applied by the incumbents. From 2016, the
fixed interconnection rates will follow a cost oriented approach.

In May 2012, ANATEL approved a new regulation which, from January 2014, requires
the application of the Bill and Keep system for local fixed termination rates, i.e., operators will take rights of tariffs generated on their networks, and no interconnection remuneration will be owed for local calls between two
different networks.

The values of mobile interconnection rates (VU-M) are freely negotiated by operators. The National
Regulatory Authority has, however, arbitration power in case of disagreement and it can determine a reference value according to criterion set up by regulation. From January 2013, the reference values set by ANATEL comply with a glide
path which would lead to cost orientated values starting from 2016.

Interconnection agreements are subject to prior approval by ANATEL.



|v | General Competition Plan (PGMC)
|- | ---------------------------------

In November 2012, ANATEL published the General Competition Target Plan (PGMC), introducing tools for market analysis, for the identification of operators
with market power and for the consequent imposition of ex-ante obligations.

The approval of the PGMC represents a milestone in the development of
Brazilian regulation, which is gradually evolving towards a model based on market analysis and the application of ex ante regulatory obligations for SMP operators.

The decision opens the networks of operators with significant market power to unbundling and wholesale broadband access. It also improves transparency
measures by the creation of a Supervisory Board to ensure the respect of the wholesale service quality levels.

Fixed networks in fiber optics will
benefit from a regulatory holiday of nine years, which will have to be confirmed in four years, when PGMC will be revised.

In each market, ANATEL
imposed a set of asymmetrical obligations to operators having SMP.

The most important measure imposed in the fixed access market is the further
opening of wholesale fixed networks through the introduction of access obligations on copper networks (e.g., Leased Lines, bitstream unbundling) for the vertically integrated, fixed operators having SMP: Oi, Telefónica and Telmex.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



TIM Brasil was identified as having SMP in the wholesale markets of mobile termination, national
roaming and the access to ducts and trenches. The measures applied to a SMP operator in those markets include:



|· |  | a glide path on mobile termination rates for the 2013-2015 period, based on a price cap system, with a decrease of
almost 50% in the next three years;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the obligation to offer the service of national roaming to operators not having SMP: regional licensed CTBC and
Sercomtel and national licensed Nextel;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the obligation to offer the access to ducts and trenches.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

The second analysis and definition of SMP operators was held in 2015 confirming the previous decision of 2012, leaving the remedies imposed on TIM
Brasil unchanged. The review of the markets to be regulated and the remedies to apply to possible SMP operators are expected in 2016.



|v |  | Main regulatory developments
|- |  | ----------------------------



|Ø |  | Cost models implementation
|- |  | ---------------------------

In 2005, ANATEL issued a ruling for Accounting Separation and Cost Accounting. This ruling introduced the obligation to present the
Accounting Separation and Allocation Document (Documento de Separação e Alocação de ContasDSAC) for license holders and groups holding SMP in the fixed and/or mobile network
interconnection and wholesale leased lines markets (Exploração Industrial De Linha DedicadaEILD). Operators (TIM included) have been providing ANATEL with the requested information since 2006 for
fixed services and since 2008 for mobile operators.

In August 2011, ANATEL launched a project called Modelo de Custos, setting up a
consortium of consultants in charge of developing, within two years, the cost model for fixed and mobile networks for communications services.

In
July 2014, ANATEL published the final decision regarding the costing models to set the wholesale reference values for the fixed and mobile access and interconnection services, as well as the maximum values for the Leased Lines (EILDIndustrial
Exploitation of the Dedicated Line).

ANATEL established that the fixed network usage charges (TU-RL) and mobile network reference values (VU-M)
will be cost oriented starting from 2016 to reach the efficient cost level in 2019. For EILD, the efficient cost level must be reached in 2020.



|Ø |  | Mobile interconnection rate glide path
|- |  | --------------------------------------

In November 2012, TIM Brasil (as well as certain other mobile operators) was identified by ANATEL as having Significant Market Power (SMP) in the
wholesale mobile termination markets. The remedies applied to SMP mobile operators include a glide path on mobile termination rate (called VU-M, Value to Use the Mobile network), based on a price cap system with a decrease of almost 50%
from 2013 to 2015; current termination charge is approximately 0.17 R$/min.

In July 2014, ANATEL published the final decision regarding the cost
model and the reference values of the mobile termination rates that will apply from 2016 to 2019 for the operators with SMP. Following the so-called glide path, the reference value of the MTR will be reduced by 40% in 2016 to
approximately 0.10 reais minute and 45% in the following years: approximately 0.06 reais per minute in 2017; approximately 0.03 reais per minute in 2018; and approximately 0.02 reais per minute in 2019.

Between operators with SMP a full billing scheme is applied (i.e. each operator charges the total amount of the traffic terminated on its
network). Conversely, between SMP and non SMP operators, an asymmetric scheme applies (so called partial bill&keep): each operator only pays the portion of the terminated traffic on the other network that exceeds a threshold
percentage determined by the regulator with respect of the total traffic exchanged at the interconnection. Until February 2015, this threshold was set at 80% (i.e., a non SMP operator pays only if the terminated traffic on the SMP operator network
is more than 80% of the total traffic exchanged at the interconnection).

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



According to the previous rules, by February 2015, the partial bill & keep threshold
between SMP and non SMP operators would have decreased to 60% and from February 2016 the full billing scheme would have been adopted. To harmonize the evolution of the values of mobile interconnection with the introduction of cost-oriented values, in February 2015 the regulatory authority (ANATEL) postponed to 2019 the introduction of the full billing scheme in the interconnection between operators with market power and
without market power, with a progressive decrease of the mentioned threshold over the next years.



|Ø |  | Allocation of the 700 MHz band
|- |  | ------------------------------

The auction for the allocation of the 700MHz band (698-806 MHz), for the provision of the fourth generation mobile services and high speed internet was
held in September 2014.

TIM Brasil, Claro (Telmex group) and Vivo (Telefonica group) were granted three of the four auctioned national blocks of 10
+ 10 MHz; the fourth block remained unsold as the fourth national operator Oi did not participate to the bid. TIM Brasil paid 1,947 million reais.

The frequencies will be available, in every Brazilian town, only a year after the complete switch-off of analogue television channels
operating in the band and the transition to the digital TV whose channels will be allocated in the lower bands. The analogue TV switch-off is planned to be carried out from November 2015 to November 2018.

In the States of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the frequencies will be available at the end of 2018, after the complete switch-off of analogue
television in those States.

Bid winners are required to cover the costs of the implementing measures to overcome any spectrum interference and the
expenses resulting from the reallocation of Digital TV channels. The amount of these costs for each national operator is about 297 million euros.



|Ø |  | Consultation by the Brazilian Ministry of Communications on the revision of the Legal/Regulatory Framework
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The consultation relates to a proposal to reform the General Law of Telecommunications of 1997, to account for new market
conditions, competition, technology and development of communications services. The reform would be designed to overcome the existence of Concessionaries (Oi, Telefonica and Embratel Telmex) for the supply of services deemed to be of a public
nature.

Overcoming Concessions would eliminate the current obligation of Concessionaires to return to the state, at the end of the
concession, the assets used for the supply of public services. Overcoming Concessions, however, may require identifying alternative solutions to ensure universal access.

4.3.14    BROADCASTING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IN ITALY

Following the sale of La7 S.r.l. and MTV Italia S.r.l. and the business combination with Rete A S.p.A., the Group operates as a national digital
terrestrial network operator with Persidera S.p.A., the former Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting S.r.l..

Persidera is a pure network
operator, not integrated with any content provider. It offers digital terrestrial capacity through five national terrestrial networks (5 MUXes) hosting more than 40 independent TV channels and seven independent radio stations.



|v |  | Broadcasting frequencies
|- |  | ------------------------

In response to the EU infringement procedure 2005/5086, in 2008 the Government approved the Law no. 101/08, replacing the special licensing regime
for digital terrestrial network operators with an authorization regime compliant with EU Directives.

|                                                |  |           
|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



Following these modifications, all network operators licenses were converted into general
authorizations with a 20-year duration.

The EC approved the changes introduced by Law no. 101/08, but asked for more spectrum resources to be
assigned to new entrants (the digital dividend). In response to these further requests, AGCom resolution 181/09/CONS set up the criteria for the complete digital conversion of the terrestrial television networks (switch-off).

In this conversion, Telecom Italia Media Group (TIMB) was assimilated to RAI and Mediaset, and TIMB was wrongly assigned only three
out of the four networks managed by the Group before the switch-off, even if all other network operators were assigned networks on a one-to-one basis. On June 28, 2012, MISE formally assigned to TIMB the digital rights for three national
MUXes with the duration of 20 years (December 2032).

Law no. 44/12 replaced the beauty contest for the digital dividend assignment, as
defined by AGCom in resolution 497/10/CONS, with an economic bid for the assignment of three national MUXes. The tender was launched in 2014 on the basis of AGCom resolution 277/13/CONS and Cairo Group was awarded one MUX for 31.626 million euros.
TIMB, incorrectly assimilated to RAI and Mediaset, was not entitled to participate in this bid.

TIMB set up a lengthy litigation on (i) the
analogue-to-digital conversion criteria and (ii) against the beauty contest repeals. The Regional Administrative Court of Lazio rejected the appeals and TIMB appealed before the Council of State. The Council of State suspended the
appeals and called for an intervention by the EU Court of Justice on both proceedings.



|v |  | Administrative contributions and frequency rights fees
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Since 2014 administrative contributions and digital frequency fees due by Persidera must follow art. 34 and art. 35 of Decree 259/03. The previous regime
for analogue broadcasters, in force until 2013, included concession fees, equal to 1% of revenues.

Law no. 115/2015 set up the values for
broadcasting operators administrative contributions and backbone frequency fees. Persidera has to pay approximately 250,000 euros a year.

In
response to objections by the EU Commission in connection with the advantages conferred upon vertically integrated incumbent operators RAI and Mediaset by AGComs criteria set forth in Resolution 494/14/CONS, Law 302/2015 (Stability Law 2016)
requested MISE to define TV frequency fees on a transparent, proportionate and non-discriminatory basis, taking into account the market value of frequencies rewarding mechanisms for non-vertically integrated operators and for the use of innovative
technologies (e.g. DVB-T2). This new framework, which repealed AGCom resolution 494/14/CONS, is expected to reduce Persideras fees from 13 million euros of resolution 494/14/CONS to a more reasonable amount.



|v |  | 700 MHz
|- |  | -------

On February 2, 2016, the Commission issued a proposal to coordinate the use of the 700 MHz band for mobile services by June 2020. This proposal will have
to be approved by the European Parliament and the European Council.

The proposal sets the following goals:



|· |  | December 31, 2017 for the conclusion of bilateral cross-border coordination.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | June 30, 2017 for the adoption of a transitional roadmap.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

With respect to the sub-700 MHz band (470-694 MHz), the proposal set a long-term priority for the distribution of audiovisual media services to the
general public, along with a flexible approach for spectrum use to allow for different levels of digital terrestrial television (DTT) uptake in Member States.

This means allowing the use of technologies other than traditional broadcast for TV services in the UHF band (the Decision restricts mobile services to
downlink only). The Commission, therefore, anticipates that the discussion at the ITU level will be postponed until 2023.

|----------------------------------------------- |  | ----------
|Item 4. Information On The Telecom Italia Group |  | Regulation



The proposal would have a strong impact on the entire sector of the Italian broadcast operators, whose
frequency rights will expire in 2032.

Member States will have 8 weeks to express their feedback on the proposal.

The Italian Government requested a more flexible timeline for 700 MHz band release, in line with Lamy Report, which set the date at 2020, with two years
of flexibility in order to account for the different situation of DTT platforms in Member State.

No steps have been taken in Italy thus far to
define the roadmap for the release of 700 Mhz band. Stability Law 2016 has set a fund of 276,000 euros at the MISE for conducting studies.



|v |  | CH 55
|- |  | -----

If technical and regulatory conditions are satisfied, as part of the agreement signed with Gruppo Editoriale lEspresso, TIM can acquire
the right of use of the UHF channel 55 (742-750 MHz) assigned to MUX TIMB2. TIM has reserved two different purchase options: (i) the purchase of the right to use the UHF channel 55 or (ii) the purchase of the entire participation in the share
capital of TIMB2 S.r.l, a company established in 2014, which would be awarded this right of use. Both options may be exercised during the period between June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2019. UHF channel 55 trading to TIMB2 S.r.l. would be associated with
a lease agreement from TIMB2 to Persidera in order to guarantee transmission services continuity.

The above operations will be put into effect
without the need for authorization from the competent authority as an intra-group agreement.

4.4    TRANSACTIONS WITH U.S. SANCTIONED COUNTRIES

In accordance with our Code of Ethics and Conduct, we seek to comply with all applicable international trade laws including applicable sanctions and
embargoes. Below we discuss our activities related to certain countries that are targets of U.S. economic sanctions: Iran, Sudan and Syria (the Designated Countries).

Activities relating to the Designated Countries

The only
activities we have that, to our knowledge, relate in any way to the Designated Countries are:



|(i) | Roaming Agreements with local mobile phone operators:
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Taliya, KFZO-TKC (former Payam Kish), Rightel Communication, Irancell (MTN) and Mobile Company of Iran (MCI) in Iran;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | ZAIN SD (former Mobitel), MTN Sudan and Areeba, in Sudan; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | MTN Syria (former Spacetel Syria 94 and former Areeba), and Syriatel Mobile Telecom SA (Syriatel), in
Syria.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | International Carrier Agreements for the delivery of voice and data traffic from such countries to our networks and from
our networks to such countries including in connection with our roaming agreements. To this end, our subsidiary Telecom Italia Sparkle S.p.A. (TI Sparkle)directly and through its subsidiarieshas agreements with
Telecommunication Company of Iran in Iran; Sudan TLC, Sudatel, ZAIN Sudan and Canartel in Sudan; and Syrian TLC in Syria.
|---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition TI Sparkle has an agency agreement with Cypress Corporation DFZCO (a company incorporated in the free zone of the
Dubai airport) that promotes the use of voice services towards Syrian Telecom Establishment (STE), a company reportedly affiliated with the government of Syria. The agreement provides that we pay this agent based on a fee that is a percentage of
revenues we earn.

In addition, also Telecom Italia S.p.A. has entered into certain agreements for the provision of TLC services
(marine radio traffic) with Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI) for services to Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines.

Roaming Agreements

We operate one of the largest mobile networks in Italy. Through our foreign subsidiaries, we also have large mobile operations in Brazil (Tim
Participações S.A. through its subsidiary TIM Celular S.A.). Until March 8, 2016, we had operations in Argentina and Paraguay (Telecom Argentina S.A. through its subsidiaries Telecom Personal S.A. and Núcleo S.A., respectively).
Through roaming agreements a mobile subscriber is able to use his or her mobile phone on a network different from such mobile subscribers home network. The following is the definition of roaming:

Roaming: A function that enables wireless subscribers to use the service on networks of operators other than the one with which they signed their
initial contract. The roaming service is active when wireless is used in a foreign country (included in GSM network).

Like all major mobile
networks, in response to competition and customer demands, Telecom Italia, Tim Participações group and Telecom Argentina group have entered into roaming agreements with many foreign mobile networks, so as to allow their customers to
make and receive calls when travelling abroad.

Roaming agreements, including those relating to the Designated Countries, are on standard terms and
conditions. In fact, entering into roaming agreements is an activity carried out in the ordinary course of business by a mobile network operator.

Roaming agreements are, generally, reciprocal. Pursuant to a roaming agreement our mobile customers may, when they are in a foreign country covered by
the network (the Foreign Network) of an operator with which we have a roaming agreement, make and receive calls on their mobile using such operators network. Likewise, when a customer of such Foreign Network is in Italy (or Brazil
or Argentina or Paraguay), such customer may make and receive calls using our networks or the networks of other mobile operators in Italy (or Brazil or Argentina or Paraguay) if this foreign Network has an International Roaming Agreement with other
Italian (or Brazilian or Argentine or Paraguayan) Operators.

The calls made and received by our customers who use the services of the Foreign
Network are billed by the Foreign Network to us at the roaming rate agreed upon in the applicable roaming agreement. Then, we will bill our end customers according to the specific tariff plan of the subscription they have signed with
us. Likewise, we bill the Foreign Network at the roaming rate agreed upon in the applicable roaming agreement. The Foreign Network will bill its clients for the calls made and received using our networks according to their specific offer to
their customer base. Roaming contracts do not, generally, contemplate other fees or disbursements.

The purpose of all of these roaming
agreements is to provide our customers with coverage in areas where we do not own networks. In order to remain competitive and maintain such coverage, we intend to continue maintaining these agreements.

In 2015, our total revenues from roaming agreements with networks of the Designated Countries are detailed as follows:

International Carrier Agreements with the Designated Countries

As a rule in the modern telecommunication business, when traffic from a specific network is placed with, or transported through, our
networks, we receive a fee from the incoming network. Likewise, when traffic coming from one of our networks is placed with, or transported through, another network, we owe a fee to such network.

The purpose of these agreements is to allow the uninterrupted exchange of international traffic. Consequently, we intend to continue maintaining these
agreements.

In 2015, our total revenues from traffic from networks located in the Designated Countries to our networks are detailed as follows:

service, designed to provide high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity. 3G networks allow the transfer of both voice data services (telephony, messaging) and non-voice data (such as downloading Internet information,
exchanging email, and instant messaging). The high data speeds, measured in Mbps, are significantly higher than 2G and, 3G networks technology enable full motion video, high-speed internet access and video-conferencing. 3G technology standards
include UMTS, based on WCDMA technology (quite often the two terms are used interchangeably) and CDMA2000.

4G (fourth-generation Mobile
System).    Fourth-generation protocols that are designed to provide, in addition to the usual voice and other services of 3G, mobile broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with wireless modems, to smartphones, and
to other mobile devices. Potential and current applications include mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television, and cloud computing applications.

5G (fifth-generation Mobile System).    5G indicates the fifth generation of mobile network that will be introduced starting
in 2020. At a worldwide level, the ITU Commission (International Telecommunication Union) began to set out the first Standards on 5G future connectivity and the first field trials will be launched in 2018, during the Olympic Winter Games .

The main elements of the 5G network will be:

the operators asset base is annualized based on the gross replacement cost of the assets. CCA belongs to the family of constant annualization methodologies where the depreciation share is stable and the cost of capital share decreases over
time, resulting in decreasing annuities. Nevertheless, unlike historical cost accounting, in current cost annualization methods the amortization is adjusted according to variations in the price of the assets being considered due to technical
progress and general variations in price (inflation).

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access).    A digital wireless
technology used in radio communication for transmission between a mobile phone and a radio base station. CDMA was developed by Qualcomm, and commercially introduced in 1995. It enables the simultaneous transmission and reception of several messages,

Service).    Refers to the basic telephony service (homes use) supplying standard, single-line telephones, fixed-line services and access to public voice telephony network. In contrast, telephone services based on
digital communications lines, such as ISDN, are not POTS. The main distinctions between POTS and non-POTS services are speed and bandwidth. POTS is generally restricted to about 52 Kbps.

Price-cap or network cap.    Under price-cap, a regulator sets a cap on the price that the regulated operator may
charge for a given service or basket of services. The cap may be set based on a top-down or bottom-up approach and may evolve according to several economic factors. The basic formula employed to set price caps is CPI  X, where the expected
efficiency savings X are subtracted from the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index. This price control methodology is intended to provide incentives for efficiency savings, as any savings above the predicted rate X can be kept by
the operator and passed on to shareholders. In Europe, price-caps are generally reviewed every three years, corresponding to the length of validity of market analysis.

PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).    The public telephone network delivering the basic telephone service and, in
certain circumstances, more advanced services.

RNC (Radio Network Controllercounterpart of BSC in

The principal categories of our equipment are exchanges and transmission equipment, cable networks, base stations for
cellular networks and equipment for radio communications. There are no encumbrances that may affect our utilization of our property or equipment.

REAL ESTATE
(LAND, CIVIL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS)

As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned many buildings located throughout Italy. Specialized
buildings for telecommunications services account for the majority of properties both in number and book value. Such buildings house mainly exchange equipment and transmission equipment, and are used as part of our continuing telecommunications
operations. General purpose properties consist chiefly of offices, depots and computer centers.

At the end of 2014, Telecom Italia launched a major
real estate project, aimed at restructuring the use of space for industrial usage in a manner consistent with the evolution of next-generation networks and optimizing the number of properties used as offices through the creation of functional
centers that adopt a modern and more efficient space utilization, requalifying the workplace in a way that encourages exchange, communication and relationships between colleagues as a way of stimulating changes, dynamism and initiatives.

This real estate project provides for a path of restructuring, termination and renegotiation of contracts, to achieve efficiency and savings,
mainly through the extension of terms and lower rents.

Properties of strategic importance have been identified, in relation to their current use
and to significant investments in technology and real estate planned to support the technological evolution of the network and new ICT services.

In
particular, in 2015, the company purchased five strategic buildings and renegotiated and/or renewed approximately 750 leases. Over half of the renegotiated property rental contracts were previously accounted for using the operating lease method,
however, as a result of the changes to the relevant contracts, they have been recognized in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2015 using the financial method (Tangible assets held under finance leases).

medium and small properties, with the aim to get a reduction in rental costs in the next few months.

NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE (PLANT AND EQUIPMENT)

The Telecom Italia Group network infrastructure includes the domestic (Italian) and international fixed network, the domestic mobile network and the
Brazilian mobile network. See -4.5 Glossary of Selected Telecommunications Terms, for definitions of the technical terms used in this section.

Domestic (Italian) Fixed Network

At
December 31, 2015, the domestic fixed network had the following figures:

Fixed Voice network.    The Fixed Voice Network dedicated to serving traditional voice
(TDM) consists of 607 main local switches (SGU). Concerning the OLO interconnection, local switches are divided in 33 gateway areas.

Each local switch is physically interconnected to 2 out of 24 (12 pairs) Backbone Nodes (BBN).

Voice over IP (VoIP) service is guaranteed by a specific control platform dedicated to consumer and business customers. The IP/TDM interworking is
carried out in the transit layer.

In terms of cable infrastructures, the fixed network includes 115.6 million km of copper pairs, mainly in the
distribution network, and also 10.4 million km of fiber, both in access and trunk network.

Optical fiber cables significantly increase network
capacity and make it possible to offer hi-tech services based on the simultaneous transmission of various types of signal, such as voice, data and video.

Domestic Transport Network.    The transport network uses the SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) or
PTN technology and the optical DWDM technology (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) and is based on optical fibers with systems from 155 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s. WDM systems realize point-to-point connections
multiplying by a factor from 12 to 96 the bandwidth capacity of each optical fiber, thereby increasing the total capacity of the transport network.

The fixed long-distance transport network routes 5,420 VC-4 on the SDH Arianna, Phoenix, Phoebe, Kosmos networks. It supports also 570 lambda at 1 Gbps,
69at 2.5 Gbps point to point optical channels and 916 10 Gbps point to point optical channels on the optical DWDM systems and on the Kaleidon network.

Kaleidon is the new national optical transport platform that allow to set up a completely photonic optical mesh network. Kaleidon supports optical
channels at 40 Gbit / s and 100 Gbit / s with protection and restoration mechanisms at photonic level.

OPB (Optical Packet
Backbone).    The OPB is the IP backbone of Telecom Italia based on 32 POPs equipped with Terarouters.

The OPB network
supports:

transport up to the 32 IP POPs. The OPM network consists of 30metro regional networks and support traffic from mobile and fixed access nodes. The OPM provides also Gigabit Ethernet Services for business customers (Ethernity, Hyperway,
Gigabusiness and GEA on GBE optical access).

Broadband/xDSL network.    The broadband access network of Telecom Italia
offers hi-tech telecommunications and multimedia applications and is based on ADSL2 DSLAM technology.

In 2015, the xDSL services for residential
and business customers (retail and wholesale) covers more than 99.1% of the population and have been extended to 7,694 towns, including S. Marino (compared to 7,556 at the end of 2014).

At the end of 2015, 9,597 local switching areas were covered by ADSL technology (compared to 9,450 at the end of 2014).

NGAN (Next Generation Access Network).In 2015 Telecom Italia continued to deploy a NGAN,
based on optical fiber cables. NGAN deployment started in 2009 in Milan based on Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) architecture. Since 2012 the deployment has been extended to the main cities with Fiber-To-The-Cabinet
(FTTCab) architecture using fiber to street cabinets equipped with VDSL2 cards.

In 2015, Telecom Italia continued deployment of
FTTCab and initiated a project to bring FTTH to 100 cities (and other 58 BUL1 cities), with the aim of improving ultra-broadband service to 100 Mbit/s and to more than 300 Mbit/s for FTTH.

More than 10,100,000 households had been reached by the end of 2015, mainly in the distribution areas of approximately 2,200 central offices. The
NGAN coverage in FTTH/DP/Cab is approximately 42% of reached households at the end of 2015 (the reached households in FTTH/FTTDP are more than 1,700,000 with a coverage of approximately 7%).

At the end of 2015, 57,400 cabinet NGAN were reached with fibre optic cables (of which 45,900 cabinets were installed with completely active and
saleable service).

Telecom Italia Sparkle network is an
integrated multi-service backbone based on an IP-MPLS core handling differentiated classes of services. The transport layer is based over DWDM with 10, 40 and 100 Gbps optical lambdas while voice services are provided by Class 4 switches. Traffic
protection is implemented by MS SPRING, SNCP, OTN, MSP 1+1 and meshed technologies.

In 2015, the new 100 Gbps optical backbone was
deployed over the Frankfurt-Amsterdam, Kehl-Paris, Milan-Marseille-Paris and Milan-Verona-Salzburg-Munich-Frankfurt routes, the latter being the third one available between Milan and Frankfurt and allowing the increase of network resiliency and
enabling shared protection for managed bandwidth services.

To keep up with increasing IP and Managed Bandwidth sales in Sicily, the Italian
backbone was upgraded with 100 Gbps technology and a new network layer was built to provide automatic restoration with shared protection.

Capacity
upgrades were carried out on all of the major routes of the IP backbone with 100 Gbps links deployed between Milan and Palermo, Catania, Paris and Frankfurt in order to keep links usage below 67%, in accordance with the new network targets. In the
IP core layer, new equipment was deployed in Milan and Frankfurt to further increase capital expenditures efficiency and network scalability. In the IP edge layer, new routers were added in the Rome, Palermo, Miami, Milan, Rome and Paris POPs.
Upgrades were carried out on the IP backbone on the transatlantic route connecting the UK to the US, on the US backbone among all of the major POPs and between Singapore and Palermo. In 2015, several IP customers were connected at the 100 Gbps level
in Milan, Palermo, Miami, London, Frankfurt and Paris.

In Singapore, new equipment with 100 Gbps capability was deployed over the Tuas-Equinix and
Equinix-Ansar fiber optic rings.

As for mobile data and voice services, capabilities were upgraded to handle increasing signaling and voice traffic
volumes.

In Palermo the new Sicily Hub data center was completed to increase focus on the colocation offering and to enable the
interconnection with the new SeaMeWe-5 submarine cable scheduled for 2016.

With reference to Multinational Corporate Customers, new edge routes were
deployed in Frankfurt and Milan along with the 10 Gbps transformation of the main routes of the MNCs backbone.

Mediterranean Backbone

In 2015, upgrades at the 100 Gbps level were completed on the submarine system linking Italy to Greece and Israel. The new Athens-Sofia fiber was brought
into service with a 100 Gbps DWDM platform. The Athens data center was also upgraded with over 100 new cabinets available.

Latin American Backbone

In 2015 the PCCS (Pacific Caribbean Cable System) infrastructure from Puerto Rico to Jacksonville and from Panama to Puerto Rico was brought into service
complemented by the 100 Gbps fiber backhaul from Jacksonville to Miami.

Upgrades at 100 Gbps level were completed on the SAC (South American
Crossing) and TAC (Trans Andean Crossing) systems. New edge routers were deployed in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Santiago along with upgrade of the major routes in the IP backbone. A new metro ring was brought into service in Sao Paulo to
connect the submarine systems with the main data centers increasing the available capacity, network performance and resiliency.

Brazilian
Network

Telecom Italia Groups principal properties in Brazil consist of transmission equipment, switching equipment, which connect
calls to and from customers, and radio base stations, which comprise certain signal transmission and reception equipment covering a defined area. At our radio base stations we have also installed antennas and certain equipment to connect these
antennas with our switching equipment.

The investments of TIM Brasil group prioritized projects for (i) the expansion of its fiber optic network
(ii) the optimization of the use of the network, with adjustments to improve the signal quality in the current coverage areas and (iii) the mapping of the main causes of interruptions and failures of the network, as well as the necessary measures to
prevent these events, ensuring call and data connection quality, for greater user access capability.

As of December 31, 2015, TIM Brasil group
had 963 mobile switches for voice capacity, 239 thousand TRXs, 12,365 of them Node B. The TIM Brasil group volume of investments allowed the Group to achieve, as of 2015, the milestone of 411 cities covered with 4G technology, reaching 59%
of the urban population of the country, making TIM Brasil the leader in 4G coverage in terms of number of cities and percentage of the population covered. In addition, in 2015, the TIM Brasil group added nearly 500 new cities in Brazil to its 3G
coverage area and, as of December 31, 2015, has reached approximately 70,000 kilometers of fiber optic cable networks.

In 2015, the TIM Brasil
group concluded the sale of the first three blocks of telecommunications towers to American Tower do Brasil. The transaction involved the simultaneous execution of a finance lease for the portion of the towers used by the TIM Brasil group, recorded
as a financial debt for leases.

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates



Item 5.    OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

5.1    CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analyses of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB (designated as IFRS). Our reported financial condition and results of operations as reported under IFRS are based on the
application of accounting methods which involve the use of subjective assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available. Actual results could differ, even significantly, from these
estimates owing to possible changes in the factors considered in the determination of such estimates. Estimates are reviewed periodically.

In the
absence of a Standard or an Interpretation that specifically applies to a particular transaction, management carefully considers subjective valuation techniques and uses its judgment as to the accounting methods to adopt with a view to providing
financial statements which faithfully represent the economic substance of the transactions, are neutral, prepared on a prudent basis and complete in all material respects and in accordance with IFRS.

Since our selection and application of accounting policies involve judgments and other assumptions affecting the application of those policies, reported
results are sensitive to changes in conditions or assumptions of management and these are factors to be considered when reading our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the critical accounting policies described below involve the most
significant subjective assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS.

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and their amount can be measured reliably.
Revenues are stated net of discounts, allowances, and returns.



|· |  | Revenues from services rendered
|- |  | -------------------------------

Revenues from services rendered are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement according to the stage of completion of the
service and only when the outcome of the service rendered can be estimated reliably.

Traffic revenues from interconnection and
roaming are reported gross of the amounts due to other TLC operators.

Revenues for delivering information or other content are
recognized when the information or content is delivered to the customer. In the event that the Group is acting as agent, only the commission received from the content provider is recognized as revenue.

In Italy, revenues from the activation of telephone services (as well as the related costs) are deferred over the expected duration of
the relationship with the customer (in Italy, generally 8 years for retail customers and 3 years for wholesale customers). In particular, costs from the activation of telephone services are deferred taking also into account the reasonable
expectations of cash flows arising from these services. To determine the expected duration of the relationship with customers we perform an analysis of our historical customer relationship trends.

Revenues from prepaid traffic are recorded on the basis of the minutes used at the contract price per minute. Deferred revenues for
unused minutes are recorded in Trade and miscellaneous payables and other current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

|---------------------------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------------
|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates



|· |  | Revenues from sales and bundled offerings
|- |  | -----------------------------------------

Revenues from sales (telephone and other equipment) are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to
the buyer.

For offerings which include the sale of mobile handsets and service contracts, we recognize revenues related to the sale
of the handset when it is delivered to the final customer whereas traffic revenues are recorded on the basis of the minutes used; the related subscriber acquisition costs, including sales commissions, are expensed as incurred. The revenues allocated
to the handset sale are limited to the contract amount that is not contingent upon the rendering of telecommunication services, i.e. the residual of the amount paid by the customer exceeding the services value. The determination of fair values in
the telecommunications business is complex, because some of the components are price-sensitive and, thus, volatile in a competitive marketplace.

A small portion of our bundled offerings in the mobile and broadband businesses are contracts with a minimum contractual period between
18 and 30 months which include an enforced termination penalty. For these contracts, the subscriber acquisition costs are capitalized under Intangible assets with a finite useful life if the conditions for capitalization as described in
the related accounting policy are met.



|· |  | Revenues on construction contracts
|- |  | ----------------------------------

Revenues on construction contracts are recognized based on the stage of completion (percentage of completion method).

Revenue recognition is subject to estimation in respect of the expected duration of customer relationships, the estimate of relative fair values and
estimates of discounts, returns and allowances. Revisions to such estimates may significantly affect our future operating results.

Allowance for doubtful
accounts

Management maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers
to make required payments. Management bases its estimates on the ageing of our accounts receivable balances and our historical write-off experience with similar receivables, customer credit-worthiness and changes in our customer payment history when
evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, our actual write-offs might be higher than we estimate.

Accounting for tangible and intangible non-current assets

Accounting for tangible and intangible non-current assets involves the use of estimates for determining fair value at the acquisition date in the case of
assets acquired in a business combination and the expected useful lives of assets with a finite useful life. The determination of the fair values of assets, as well as the useful lives of the assets is based on managements judgment. Changes in
the economic conditions of the markets in which we operate, technology and competitive forces could significantly affect the estimated useful lives of these assets and may lead to a difference in the timing and amount of depreciation and
amortization expense.

Acquisition accounting, goodwill and purchase price allocation

We have entered into certain acquisitions and in the future may make further acquisitions. The calculation of the purchase price, and the subsequent
allocation of that purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is critical due to the long-term impact on the separate consolidated income statement.

Under IFRS, we are required to perform a purchase price allocation and, consequently, as part of that allocation, all consideration, including the fair
value of exchanged shares, shall be valued. When equity instruments are issued as part of the consideration, under IFRS we measure them at their fair value as of the date of exchange.

The purchase price is then allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

##### Table of Contents

|                                                     |  |                                           
|---------------------------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------------
|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Critical Accounting Policies And Estimates



The purchase price allocation requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at fair values which
requires significant estimates and judgments to be made. A change in any of these estimates or judgments could change the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities. The resulting change in the purchase price allocation to assets or liabilities
has a direct impact on the final amount of the purchase price that is allocated to goodwill.

If actual results differ from these estimates, or we
adjust the estimated economic useful lives in future periods, operating results could be significantly affected by these estimates and judgments which involve:



|· |  | the definition of the purchase price;
|- |  | -------------------------------------



|· |  | the identification of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the valuation of these assets and liabilities in the purchase price allocation; and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the assessment of whether selected assets have a finite or indefinite useful life.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These could have a significant impact on both the level of total goodwill and ultimately on the separate consolidated income statement.

Impairment of assets

The determination of impairment of
intangible and tangible assets involves the use of estimates that include, but are not limited to, the cause, timing and amount of the impairment.



| | · |  | Goodwill.Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more
frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, as set forth in IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets); however, when the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the original
amount of goodwill is not reinstated.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The test is generally conducted at the end of every year so the date of
testing is the year-end closing date of the financial statements. Goodwill acquired and allocated during the year is tested for impairment at the end of the year in which the acquisition and allocation took place.

To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated, at the date of acquisition, to each cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating
units which is expected to benefit from the acquisition.

Allocation is made to the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for
management purposes and that lowest level is not larger than the operating segment determined in accordance with IFRS 8 (Operating Segments).

If the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss
is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement. The impairment loss is first recognized as a deduction of the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and then only applied to
the other assets of the cash-generating unit in proportion to their carrying amount, up to the recoverable amount of the assets with a finite useful life. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which
goodwill is allocated is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

In calculating the value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The future cash flows are those arising from an explicit time
horizon between three and five years as well as those extrapolated to estimate the terminal value. The long-term growth rate used to estimate the terminal value of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is assumed not to be
higher than the average long-term growth rate of the segment, country or market in which the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) operates.

The value in use of a cash-generating unit which operates in a foreign currency is estimated in the local currency by discounting cash
flows to their present value on the basis of an appropriate rate for that currency. The present value obtained is translated to Euro at the spot rate on the date of the impairment test (in the case of the Telecom Italia Group, the date of the
financial statements).

Future cash flows are estimated by referring to the current operating conditions of the
cash generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and, therefore, do not include either benefits originating from future restructuring for which the entity is not yet committed, or future investments for the improvement or optimization of the
cash-generating unit.

For the purpose of calculating impairment, the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit is established
based on the same criteria used to determine the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, excluding surplus assets (that is, financial assets, deferred tax assets and net non-current assets held for sale) and includes the goodwill
attributable to non-controlling interests.

After conducting the goodwill impairment test for the cash-generating unit (or groups of
cash-generating units), a second level of impairment testing is carried out which includes the corporate assets which do not generate positive cash flows and which cannot be allocated by a reasonable and consistent criterion to the single units. At
this second level, the total recoverable amount of all cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) is compared to the carrying amount of all cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units), including also those
cash-generating units to which no goodwill was allocated, and the corporate assets.

Based on the impairment test conducted as of
December 31, 2015 the Core Domestic, International Wholesale and Persidera CGUs recoverable amounts exceeded the carrying amounts. For the Brazil CGU, an impairment loss of 240 million euros was recognized in 2015 to adjust the carrying amount to
the recoverable amount. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow for Brazil CGU of 0.5% would result in an additional impairment of 220 million euros. Management has determined that there are no reasonable possible changes
to other key assumptions (i.e. growth rate and Capex/Revenues ratio) that could cause an additional material impairment.

NoteGoodwill of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.



| | · |  | Intangible and tangible assets with a finite useful life.    At every closing date,
the Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment of intangible and tangible assets with a finite useful life. Both internal and external sources of information are used for this purpose. Internal sources include obsolescence or
physical damage, and significant changes in the use of the asset and the economic performance of the asset compared to estimated performance. External sources include the market value of the asset, changes in technology, markets or laws, trend in
market interest rates and the cost of capital used to evaluate investments, and an excess of the carrying amount of the net assets of the Group over market capitalization. When indicators of impairment exist, the carrying amount of the assets is
reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In calculating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, we estimate the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement. When the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the asset or
cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, up to the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the
separate consolidated income statement.

The identification of impairment indicators, the estimation of future cash flows and the
determination of fair values of assets or groups of assets (or cash-generating units) require management to make significant judgments including expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and residual values. These estimates can
have a material impact on fair value and the amount of any write-downs.

Financial assets

Financial assets include in particular investments, some of which are publicly traded and have highly volatile share prices. Generally, an impairment
charge is recorded when an investments carrying amount exceeds the present value of its estimated future cash flows. The calculation of the present value of estimated future cash flows and

the determination of whether an impairment is other than temporary involve judgments and rely heavily on assessments by management regarding the future development and prospects of the investee
company. In determining the value, quoted market prices are used, if available, or other valuation methodologies. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, we consider the ability and intent to hold the investment for a reasonable
period of time to ascertain whether a forecasted recovery of fair value exceeds the carrying amount, including an assessment of factors such as the length of time and magnitude of the excess of carrying value over market value, the forecasted
results of the investee company, the regional economic environment and state of the industry. Future adverse changes in market conditions, particularly a downturn in the telecommunications industry, or poor operating results could result in losses
or an inability to recover the carrying amount of the investment, which could result in impairment charges.

Derivative financial instruments

We have entered into several different types of derivative contracts in order to manage our exposure to exchange rate and interest rate risks and to
diversify the parameters of debt so that costs and volatility can be reduced to within pre-established operational limits. The changes in the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, fair value hedge derivatives and the
ineffective portion of cash flow hedge derivatives are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement in the period of change. The gain or loss on the effective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges is recognized directly in a specific
equity reserve. The cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the separate consolidated income statement at the same time the hedged transaction affects the separate consolidated income statement. The assessment of the fair
value of a derivative contract requires the use of quoted market prices, banker price quotations, price quotations for similar instruments traded in different markets and, where applicable, pricing models. Pricing models and their underlying
assumptions impact the amount and timing of unrealized gains and losses recognized. We rely on these pricing models when external fair values are unavailable. The estimates regarding future prices require estimating several factors, including
interest rates, currency values and cash flows. Prices realized in the future could differ from these estimates, therefore producing different financial results.

Provision for employee severance indemnity

Employee
severance indemnity, mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to art. 2120 of the Italian Civil Code, is a deferred compensation and is based on the employees years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service
period.

Under IAS 19 (Employee Benefits), the employee severance indemnity is considered a Defined benefit plan. Starting from
2007, Italian Law introduced for employees the choice to direct their accruing indemnity either to supplementary pension funds or leave the indemnity as an obligation of the Company. Companies that employ at least 50 employees are required to
transfer the employee severance indemnity to the Treasury fund managed by INPS, the Italian Social Security Institute.

Consequently,
the Groups obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds, under IAS 19, are classified as a Defined contribution plan.

The obligation for the employee severance indemnity classified as a defined benefit plan is determined in accordance with actuarial methods. In the
event that changes in assumptions are required, the future amounts of the post-employment benefit may be materially affected. A critical assumption to this accounting is the discount rate. Other assumptions include factors such as expected
retirement date, mortality rate and estimates of inflation.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

We exercise considerable judgment in determining our exposure to and recognizing provisions for contingent liabilities related to pending litigations or
other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or government regulation as well as other contingent liabilities.

Judgment is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed or a liability will arise and to quantify the possible range of the
final settlement. Provisions are recorded for liabilities when losses are

considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Because of the inherent uncertainties in making such judgments, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated amount
recognized. Significant estimates are involved in the determination of provisions related to taxes, environmental liabilities, our workforce reduction initiative and litigation risks. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes
available, primarily with the support of internal specialists or outside consultants, such as actuaries or legal counsel. Adjustments to loss provisions may significantly affect future operating results.

Income tax expense and deferred tax assets

The Group
calculates income tax expense in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction calculation of the current tax charge and an assessment of temporary differences resulting from the different
treatment of certain items for consolidated financial and tax reporting purposes. Temporary differences result in the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized to
the extent that their realization is probable. The realization of deferred tax assets depends, among other things, on the companys ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years and the reversal of taxable temporary differences,
taking into account any restrictions on the carry-forward of tax losses. Various factors are used to assess the probability of the future realization of deferred tax assets, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, past
operating results, operational plans, loss carry-forward periods, and tax planning strategies. If actual results differ from these estimates or, if these estimates must be adjusted in future periods, the financial position and results of operations
may be affected. In the event of a change in the assessment of future utilization of deferred tax assets, the recognized deferred tax assets must be increased or decreased, as the case may be, and the consequent effects recognized in the separate
consolidated income statement, except to the extent that they relate to items directly charged or credited to equity, in which case the related effect is recognized in the relevant equity reserves.

5.2    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2015

5.2.1    SIGNIFICANT TRENDS IMPACTING OUR CORE
BUSINESSES

Intense competition continues to have a significant impact on the development of the business. Key trends affecting
the core businesses are:

Domestic Business Unit

During
2015, Telecom Italia launched a major renewal plan for its identity and corporate structure aimed at consolidating leadership and supporting future growth of the Group. The fixed-mobile convergence is the focus of the telecommunications industry, as
a result of increasing use of smartphones and the development of digital platforms.

Since the beginning of 2016, Telecom Italia focused its
commercial offerings under the brand TIM, which combines the strength of Telecom Italia and the innovation of TIM for a customer quality experience through service and digital content.

A strong emphasis was given to acceleration of the development of fixed and mobile ultra-broadband networks, resulting in an overall capital expenditure
of 3 billion euros, through which Telecom Italia/TIM has confirmed its status as the lead player in the digitization of Italy. The diffusion of premium digital content and services with a particular focus on the video sector is the basis of the
capital expenditure program implemented. This included a strong boost to TIMvision, the integrated platform branded by TIM, which had over 500,000 customers at the end of 2015, due also in part to the agreements signed with major producers of
international content.

In response to the progressive growth of data consumption from fixed and mobile broadband and in order to shore up the
customer base, a new portfolio of services and content, with a focus on bundled and lock-up offers, was launched.

In order to address these
underlying macro trends in our business, the main strategic priorities and objectives of Telecom Italia in the domestic (Italian) market are as follows:



|· |  | acceleration of investments, mainly those relating to innovative networks and services;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | completing the transition from traditional telecommunications company to digital telecommunications & platform
company, an enabler of the countrys digital life;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | in the Mobile segment, Telecom Italia will aim to accelerate the penetration of smart devices and to market bundle
offers that generate a higher ARPU;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | in the Fixed segment, the Group plans to minimize the decrease of its customer base;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | convergence continues to be central to the Groups growth and innovative investments strategy;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | strengthening the position in multimedia entertainment;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | thanks to its ICT and Cloud services, Telecom Italia also intends to continue helping Italian businesses enable their
digital transformation process;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | maintaining strong financial discipline.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------

Brazil Business Unit

In Brazil, the market was affected by a
further deterioration in the macroeconomic climate, which caused a contraction in domestic demand, higher inflation and a depreciation of the reais from 3.22 reais per euro at the end of 2014 to 4.25 reais per euro at December 31, 2015. These
factors contributed to a general slowdown in growth in the mobile market.

Against this background, the TIM Brasil group maintained its hold on
market share in the Mobile segment and saw an increase in its postpaid customer base. However, revenues fell as a result of a more rapid migration from traditional voice-SMS services to an emerging data/internet solution and further reductions in
mobile termination

rates (MTR), which have been ongoing since late February 2015. The negative trend in mobile revenues was partly mitigated by a growth of Fixed revenues, particularly in the wholesale business
segment of the subsidiary Intelig and TIM Broadband Live.

To support network traffic and the advent of new technologies, high levels of investments
are necessary to ensure the scale and quality of services provided. The TIM Brasil group keeps focusing on the strategic importance of developing a robust data infrastructure for data growth, focusing particularly on 4G technology, which provides
better quality of service and increased efficiency in network costs.

5.2.2     BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Telecom Italia Group reports its financial results on the basis of the following operating segments:



|· |  | Domestic:    includes operations in Italy for voice and data services on fixed and mobile
networks for final customers (retail) and other operators (wholesale), the operations of the Telecom Italia Sparkle group (International wholesale), the operations of the Olivetti (products and services for Information Technology), the
operations of INWIT S.p.A. (a company operating in the electronic communications infrastructure business) and the units supporting the Domestic sector;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Brazil:    includes mobile (TIM Celular) and fixed (TIM Celular and Intelig)
telecommunications operations in Brazil;

well as the provision of accessory services and digital signal broadcasting platforms to third parties;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Other Operations:    includes finance companies and other minor companies not strictly
related to the core business of the Telecom Italia Group.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The principal changes in the scope of consolidation in 2015 were as
follows:



|· |  | INWIT S.p.A.Business Unit Domestic:    was established in January 2015;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Alfabook S.r.l.Business Unit Domestic:    on July 1, 2015 Telecom Italia Digital
Solutions S.p.A. acquired 100% of the company, which consequently entered the Groups scope of consolidation;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | TIM Real Estate S.r.l.Business Unit Domestic:    was established in November 2015.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than the INWIT initial public offering, these changes did not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Telecom Italia Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The principal changes in the scope of consolidation in 2014
were as follows:



|· |  | Telecom Italia VenturesDomestic Business Unit:    was established in July 2014;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Rete AMedia Business Unit:    on June 30, 2014 Persidera S.p.A. (formerly called
Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting S.r.l.) acquired 100% of the company. As a result Rete A entered the Groups scope of consolidation and was consolidated on a line-by-line basis. The merger of Rete A by absorption into Persidera was completed
on December 1, 2014;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | TIMB2 S.r.l.Media Business Unit:    was established in May 2014;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Trentino NGN S.r.l.Domestic Business Unit:    on February 28, 2014 the Telecom Italia
Group acquired the controlling stake in the company; consequently the company is now part of the Groups scope of consolidation.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These changes did not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Telecom Italia Group as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2014.

For a description of certain of these businesses, see Item 4. Information on the Telecom Italia Group4.2 Business
Units.

5.2.3    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In this Annual Report on Form 20-F, in addition to figures presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB, we disclose figures derived from
IFRS that are non-GAAP financial measures (Non-GAAP Measures).

Such financial data is considered Non-GAAP financial measures as
defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act.

In this Annual Report the Non-GAAP Measure used relates to Net Financial Debt.

Net Financial Debtis a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act, but is widely used in
Italy by financial institutions to assess liquidity and the adequacy of a companys financial structure. We believe that Net Financial Debt provides an accurate indicator of our ability to meet our financial obligations (represented by gross
debt) by our available liquidity, represented by the other items shown in the reconciliation table. Net Financial Debt allows us to show investors the trend in our net financial condition over the periods presented. The limitation on the use of Net
Financial Debt is that it effectively assumes that gross debt can be reduced by our cash and other liquid assets. In fact, it is unlikely that we would use all of our liquid assets to reduce our gross debt all at once, as such assets must also be
available to pay employees, suppliers, and taxes, and to meet other operating needs and capital expenditure requirements. Net Financial Debt and its ratio to equity (including Non-controlling Interest), or leverage, are used to evaluate our
financial structure in terms of sufficiency and cost of capital, level of debt, debt rating and funding cost, and whether our financial structure is adequate to achieve our business plan and our financial targets. Our management believes that our
financial structure is sufficient to achieve our business plan and financial targets. Our management monitors the Net Financial Debt and leverage or similar measures as reported by other telecommunications operators in Italy and outside Italy, and
by other major listed companies in Italy, in order to assess our liquidity and financial structure relative to such companies. We also monitor the trends in our Net Financial Debt and leverage in order to optimize the use of internally generated
funds versus funds from third parties. Net Financial Debt is reported in our Italian Annual Report to shareholders and is used in presentations to investors and analysts. Net Financial Debt is calculated as follows:

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



5.2.4    OVERVIEW OF 2015 RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

In 2015, the following characterized the results in our domestic (Italian) market:



| |  | Domestic.There was a reduction in rate of decline of domestic revenues relative to prior years. This was a
result of a slowdown in the contraction of demand for traditional services and the growth of innovative services. In particular, our competitive positioning in the Mobile segment continued to improve, with revenue returning to growth in the fourth
quarter of 2015 relative to the fourth quarter of 2014. This was driven by greater mobile Internet coverage and a steady hold on market share. In the Fixed segment, the recovery in revenues was driven by a positive trend in broadband ARPU, steady
growth in the number of ADSL customers with premium bundle/flat deals, and the development of ICT services.

Lastly, in 2015, the Group initiated a restructuring process with the transfer of a set of telecommunication towers in Italy from Telecom
Italia to its subsidiary INWIT and the stock exchange listing of INWIT (for further details, please see -5.2.7 Results of operations of business units for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with the year ended
December 31, 2014).

In 2015, the following characterized the results in our Brazil Business Unit:



| |  | Brazil. The mobile Brazilian telecommunication market was characterized by a shrinking voice market and an
emerging data/internet market. TIM Brasils subscriber base reached 66.2 million lines at the end of 2015, down 12.5% relative to 2014. In 3G technology, total customer base reached 37.5 million users, flat as compared to 2014. Penetration of
4G devices increased with the 4G base reaching 7.1 million users at the end of 2015. Overall smartphone penetration reached 68% of the customer base, a significant growth when compared to 49% at the end of 2014. At the end of 2015, there were 31.8
million unique data users reached, approximately 48% of total customer base.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The strong competitive movement in
the market indicates that there will be greater pressure on margins due to commercial expenses related to advertising, commissions and benefits that TIM Brasil will have to incur. The telecommunications industry is a capital-intensive one. To
support the increase in network traffic and the development of new technologies in the coming years, high levels of investment are necessary.

In 2015, the TIM Brasil group concluded the sale of the first three blocks of telecommunications towers to American Tower do Brasil (for
further details, please see Item 4. Information on the Telecom Italia Group  4.6 Description of Property, Plant and Equipment).

Italia Group in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group. The agreements were subsequently modified in October 2014. As a result and in accordance with IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations), starting from the
fourth quarter of 2013, the SoforaTelecom Argentina group was treated as Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale. On March 8, 2016, the Telecom Italia Group completed the sale of SoforaTelecom Argentina group (for

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



5.2.5    BUSINESS UNIT FINANCIAL
DATA

The table below sets forth revenues, operating profit (loss), capital expenditures and number of employees by Business
Units, for the periods indicated.

On November 13, 2013, Telecom Italia accepted the offer of Fintech Group to acquire the entire controlling
interest of Telecom Italia Group in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group. The agreements were subsequently modified in October 2014. As a result and in accordance with IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations),
starting from the fourth quarter of 2013, the SoforaTelecom Argentina group was treated as Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale. On March 8, 2016, the Telecom Italia Group completed the sale of SoforaTelecom Argentina
group (for further details please see the Note Events Subsequent to December 31, 2015 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report).

Starting from 2014, the Domestic Business Unit also includes the Olivetti group, in addition to Core Domestic and International Wholesale. This
different presentation reflects the commercial and business placement of the Olivetti group and the process of integrating the products and services offered by the Olivetti group as complements to those offered by Telecom Italia in the domestic
market. Accordingly, the figures for 2013 have been restated on a consistent basis.

Furthermore, following approval of the restructuring plan for
the Olivetti group on May 11, 2015, the Olivetti business lines that will be abandoned through divestment or termination in accordance with the plan have been included under Other Operations.

The Domestic Business Unit (divided into Core Domestic,
International Wholesale and Olivetti), recorded a decline in revenues for 2015 of 302 million euros (-2.0%), compared to 2014, but with an improvement in revenues from services (quarters 2015 compared to quarters 2014: fourth quarter -1.1%, third
quarter -1.5%, second quarter -1.7%, first quarter -3.3%). There were, however, positive signs over the course of 2015, with the decline in revenues, as compared to 2014, becoming smaller from quarter to quarter. This development is mainly due to an
improvement in competition conditions, which permitted for an acceleration of growth for connection and content services for broadband and ultra-broadband networks, a steady hold on market share and a steady reduction in the declines of ARPU with
respect to traditional services, mainly in the Mobile segment, which posted a positive performance in the fourth quarter of 2015, both in terms of total revenues (+0.7%) and revenues from services (+0.1%), as compared to the same period of 2014.

In 2015, theBrazil Business Unit generated revenues of 4,636 million euros (17,139 million reais), a decline of 1,608 million euros (2,359
million reais), or -25.8%, from 6,244 million euros in 2014 (19,498 million reais). The decline was mainly due to a decline in revenues from services, which was caused by further reductions in mobile termination rates and a contraction in revenues
from traditional voice and SMS services. These declines were only partially offset by an increase in revenue generated by the innovative component.

Furthermore, revenues from product sales were 475 million euros in 2015 (1,755 million reais) compared to 1,016 million euros in 2014 (3,173 million
reais), a decrease of 541 million euros, or 53.2%, likely reflecting the impact of the Brazilian macroeconomic crisis.

agreements.

Employee benefits expenses in 2015 totaled 3,589 million euros compared to 3,119 million euros in 2014, an increase of
470 million euros. The change was due to:



| |  |  | an increase of 72 million euros in the Italian component of ordinary employee expenses, mainly due to the increased
contractual minimums established in the TLC National Collective Labor Agreement signed on February 1, 2013, which resulted in the addition of pay-scale points in April and October 2014, and the growth in the average workforce by 1,842 employees
compared to 2014. In particular, the Solidarity Contracts applied by the Parent and T.I. Information Technologywhich entailed a reduction in working hours and a reduction in the average workforcecame to an end in April 2015,
resulting in an increase of 2,062 average employees compared to 2014;

| |  |  | the recognition for 446 million euros of charges and provisions to Employee Benefits and other minor items. In
particular, the Parent and other Group companies signed specific agreements with the trade unions in 2015 for the application of regulatory instruments that, from 2016 and subsequent years, will enable the management of personnel surpluses,
resulting from the streamlining processes affecting all the companies operating in the TLC sector. These instruments will be implemented through solidarity contracts, with voluntary early retirement (in application of Article 4, paragraphs 1-7ter of
law no. 92 of June 28, 2012, the Fornero law) and through the use of mobility scheme under law no. 223/91. These expenses consisted of 422 million euros for the Parent Telecom Italia S.p.A., 17 million euros for the restructuring
plan announced in May 2015 by Olivetti, 3 million euros for the company Telecom Italia Information Technology, 2 million euros for HR Services, and 2 million euros for Telecom Italia Sparkle. More details are provided in the Note Employee
benefits expenses of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report;

| |  |  | a decrease of 40 million euros in the component outside Italy of employee benefits expenses due to the higher increase
in labor costs related to the growth in the average workforce (+426 average employees) and local salary increases, which were more than offset by a negative exchange rate effect of approximately 59 million euros, essentially relating to the Brazil
Business Unit. In 2014, restructuring expenses of 4 million euros were also recognized in relation to a number of foreign companies of the Olivetti group.

Other operating expenses were 1,491 million euros in 2015, compared to 1,175 million euros in 2014, an
increase of 316 million euros. This change was mainly due to 518 million euros for provisions and costs connected to regulatory disputes and sanctions, and liabilities related to these disputes, charges for specific transactions with customers and
suppliers and costs related to disputes with former employees.

The reduction in depreciation and amortization of 149 million euros was mainly attributable to the Domestic Business Unit
(-85 million euros), which was affected by the revision of the useful lives of the passive infrastructure of the Mobile Base Transceiver Stations, which resulted in an overall impact of 51 million euros of lower depreciation, and to the Brazil
Business Unit (-68 million euros, which includes the negative exchange rate effects of 152 million euros). Net of the exchange rate effect, the depreciation and amortization of the Brazil Business Unit would have increased by 85 million euros,
resulting from the acceleration in investments in the last 18-24 months.

and under finance leases) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere herein.



|· |  | Gains (losses) on disposals of non-current assets
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------

In 2015, this item amounted to 336 million euros (29 million euros in 2014) and was mainly attributable to the gain realized by the
Brazil Business Unit of 1,211 million reais (approximately 328 million euros) following the conclusion of the sale of the first three tranches of telecommunications towers to American Tower do Brasil.

|- |  | -------------------------------------------

The impairment losses for the year 2015 included:



| | · |  | 240 million euros with respect to goodwill of the Brazil Business Unit due to the results of the impairment testing
conducted at December 31, 2015, carried out by comparing the recoverable amount of the Brazil Cash Generating Unit (CGU) with its carrying amount on the same date;

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



For further details, please see NoteGoodwill of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, included elsewhere herein.



|v |  | OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
|- |  | -----------------------

Operating profit was 2,961 million euros in 2015 (4,530 million euros in 2014), a decrease of 1,569 million euros, or
-34.6%, as a result of operating income and expenses described above.



|v |  | OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES) FROM
INVESTMENTS
|- |  | ----------------------------------------

This item amounted to a positive 10 million euros in 2015 (a
positive 16 million euros in 2014), essentially reflecting the gain from the sale of the non-controlling interest in SIA S.p.A., which took place in July 10, 2015.



|v |  | FINANCE INCOME (EXPENSES)
|- |  | -------------------------

Finance income (expenses) showed an increase in net expenses of 331 million euros, from 2,194 million euros in 2014 to 2,525 million
euros in 2015.

This increase was linked to the effects of the changes in certain non-monetary itemsof a valuation and
accounting nature, linked in particular to derivativesand of bond buybacks, which were offset by the reduction in finance expenses connected to the related debt position.

In particular:



| | · |  | the negative impact of 454 million euros (174 million euros in 2014) relating to the fair value measurement through
profit and lossperformed separately to its liability componentof the embedded option included in the mandatory convertible bond issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. at the end of 2013, for 1.3 billion euros (Guaranteed
Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due 2016 convertible into ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A.);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | a negative effect of 379 million euros in relation to the bond buybacks carried out during 2015 by Telecom Italia S.p.A.
for a total of 3.8 billion euros. This impact resulted from the difference between the buyback prices and the values of the liabilities at the transaction date, net of the benefits from the termination of several hedging derivatives linked to the
bonds repurchased. In 2014, the negative impact of the buybacks carried out during the period and the exercise of the early redemption option for a bond amounted to 62 million euros.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For further details about finance income and finance expenses, please see NoteFinance income and Finance expenses, of
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.



|v |  | INCOME TAX EXPENSE
|- |  | ------------------

This item amounted to 401 million euros, a decrease of 527 million euros compared to 2014 (928 million euros), mainly due to lower
taxable income of the Parent and the unexpected full deductibility of labor costs from the IRAP tax base introduced by art. 1, c. 20 of the Stability Law 2014 (law n.190/14) which resulted in lower IRAP of approximately 60 million euros.



|v |  | PROFIT (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS/NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2015, the item Profit from Discontinued Operations/Non-current assets held for sale amounted to 611 million euros (541 million
euros in 2014) and was mainly related to the positive contribution to the consolidation from the SoforaTelecom Argentina group.

For further details, please see NoteDiscontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale, of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

fourth quarter of 2015) and revenues from services only (+0.1% in the last quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014).

revenues was attributable to the commercial actions aimed at progressively stabilizing the customer basewith market share up slightly in both the Mobile and Fixed-line Broadband businessesand the ARPU, with a growth in revenues from
Fixed-line Broadband, ICT and Mobile Internet.

In more detail:

Revenues from domestic services,amounted to 14,058 million euros in 2015 and decreased by 276 million euros (-1.9%) compared to 2014.

The quarterly trend confirmed the recovery trend already mentioned, stronger than in previous quarters: (quarters 2015 compared to quarters 2014: fourth
quarter -1.1%, third quarter -1.5%, second quarter -1.7%, first quarter -3.3%).

|· |  | Consumer:    revenues of the Consumer segment amounted to 7,267 million euros in 2015, with a
decrease of 82 million euros (-1.1%) compared to 2014, with a recovery driven, in particular, by the progressive and structural recovery in the Mobile business, due to the steady market share and the stabilization of ARPU levels. In particular:
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | revenues from Mobile business amounted to 3,599 million euros, and grew slightly compared to 2014 (+29 million
euros, +0.8%), confirming the positive trend seen over the two consecutive quarters (fourth quarter of 2015, +2.5%, third quarter +3.3%, second quarter -1.6%, first quarter -1.5%). Service revenues decreased by 39 million euros (-1.2% compared to
2014), also evidencing a significant recovery trend (fourth quarter of 2015: +1.5%; third quarter: -0.3%; second quarter: -2.1%; first quarter: -4.3%), attributable to a slowdown of competitive pressure, the progressive stabilization of market share
and the steady growth of mobile internet and digital services to support the stabilization of ARPU;

| | · |  | revenues from Fixed-line business amounted to 3,705 million euros, with a decrease of 112 million euros
compared to 2014 (-2.9%) and showed a slowdown in the last quarter of 2015 (-6.7%) compared to the improvement seen from the second half of 2014, due to the actions aimed at increasing ARPU undertaken in the last months of the year (repricing,
introduction of flat tariffs and bundle development).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Business:    the revenues of the Business segment amounted to 4,600 million euros, a decrease
of 224 million euros compared to 2014 (-4.6%). Revenues from services (4,232 million euros, -204 million euros compared to 2014) continued the stabilization that began during 2014 (-4.7% in the fourth quarter of 2015). Specifically:
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Mobile services revenue fell by 66 million euros (-5.5% compared to 2014): the positive performance of new
digital services, and, in particular, of the Mobile Internet component (+38 million euros, +9% compared to 2014) was offset by a reduction in traditional mobile services for voice calls and messaging (-109 million euros) due to the customers
repositioning towards bundle deals with lower overall ARPU;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Fixed-line services revenue fell by 141 million euros (-4.3% compared to 2014): despite the steady growth in ICT
service revenues (+5.7%), in particular on Cloud services (+26% compared to 2014), the segment continued to be adversely affected by the slow economic recovery, the reduction in prices of traditional voice and data services, and the technological
shift towards VoIP systems.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | National Wholesale: revenues for the Wholesale segment in 2015 amounted to 1,785 million euros, essentially
stable compared to 2014 (-8 million euros, or 0.4%). Indeed, the impact of the change in regulated prices in 2015 was similar to the impact in 2014, due to the retroactive change in the wholesale access prices for the period 2010-2012.

The company Infrastrutture Wireless
Italiane S.p.A. (INWIT) was established on January 14, 2015. On April 1, 2015, the Parent Telecom Italia S.p.A. transferred to INWIT the business unit consisting of around 11,500 sites in Italy that house the radio transmission
equipment for mobile telephone networks for the Parent Company and other operators. In June 2015, an IPO was successfully completed for ordinary shares of INWIT S.p.A. on the Electronic Stock Exchange organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.,
which was followed in July 2015 by the exercise of the greenshoe option. This transaction did not result in a loss of control for the Telecom Italia Group over INWIT and was therefore treated as a transaction between shareholders in accordance with
the accounting standards. Accordingly, no impacts were recognized in the consolidated income statement and the effects of the transaction were recognized directly as an increase in Equity attributable to Owners of the Parent.

Revenues

Revenues for 2015,
amounted to 17,139 million reais and decreased by 12.1% compared to 2014 (-2,359 million reais). Service revenues totaled 15,384 million reais, a decrease of 941 million reais compared to 16,325 million reais for 2014 (-5.8%). The decline in
revenues was partly attributable to the revenues from incoming SMS and mobile traffic (-1,005 million reais, -40.2%), due to the reduction in the mobile termination rate (MTR) and lower volumes, as well as traditional voice and SMS outgoing traffic
(-1,216 million reais, -13.4%). This was partially offset by an increase in revenue generated by the innovative component, mobile data and VAS content (+1,213 million reais, +35.0%). Mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) amounted to 16.7 reais
for 2015 compared to 17.7 reais for 2014 (-5.6%).

Revenues from product sales were 1,755 million reais (3,173 million reais in 2014; -44.7%), likely

Operating
profit

Operating profit amounted to 2,351 million reais, down 132 million reais compared to 2014. This result was affected by goodwill

gains arising on the assets sold amounted to 1,211 million reais net of transaction costs.

Revenues

Revenues amounted to 82 million euros in 2015, an
increase of 11 million euros (+15.5%) compared to 71 million euros in 2014. This change, which was partly driven by the merger of Rete A, which had not yet occurred in the first six months of 2014, was entirely attributable to the Network Operator
(Persidera).

Operating profit (loss)

Operating profit
was 14 million euros in 2015 (6 million euros in 2014). This performance was mainly due to the aforementioned increase in revenues, as well as the increase in other income, only partially offset by an increase in operating expenses, mainly
attributable to the costs from the former Rete A (operations not present in the first six months of 2014) and by the increase of 4 million euros in depreciation and amortization.

Employees

Employees were 64 at December 31, 2015, a
decrease of 25 units compared to December 31, 2014 (89 units).

Revenues

Revenues for 2015
amounted to 40,495 million pesos, increasing 7,154 million pesos (+21.5%) compared to 2014 (33,341 million pesos), mainly due to the growth in ARPU. The main source of revenues was mobile telephony, which accounted for about 73% of the consolidated
revenues of the SoforaTelecom Argentina group, an increase of 20.1% compared to 2014.

Operating profit

Operating profit in 2015 was 10,632 million pesos compared to 8,657 million pesos recorded in 2014. The increase of 1,975 million pesos was mainly
attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues, partially offset by the increase in the related costs, as described below.

With regard to
the change in the main costs, the following is noted:



|· |  | acquisition of goods and services amounted to 19,017million pesos (14,963 million pesos in 2014). The increase of
27.1% compared to 2014 (+4,054 million pesos) was mainly due to higher external service costs of 1,912 million pesos and greater purchases of goods of 2,025 million pesos;

period 2010-2012. Net of that impact, which resulted in the recognition in the last quarter of 45 million euros in lower revenues from previous years, the performance for the fourth quarter of
2014 would have been -3.9% compared to the same period of 2013. This improvement in performance was mainly due to a cooling of the competitive pressurewhich resulted in the progressive stabilization of the customer base and ARPU on traditional
servicesaccompanied by a stabilization in our market share, mainly on Mobile, and an acceleration in the growth of broadband and ultrabroadband services.

In detail:



|· |  | Revenues from services in 2014 amounted to 14,334 million euros, down 7.1% compared to 2013. In particular,
revenues from services in the Mobile business were 4,608 million euros, a decrease of 529 million euros compared to 2013 (-10.3%). Revenues from Fixed-line services amounted to 10,672 million euros and were down 819 million euros compared to 2013
(-7.1%). In particular, revenues from services in the fourth quarter of 2014 amounted to 3,619 million euros, down 4.4% compared to the same period of 2013 (-3.2% net of the above-mentioned retroactive revision of 2010-2012 wholesale access prices
decided by AGCom). The fourth quarter represented a recovery against the three previous quarters (-6.2% in the third quarter, -8.9% in the second quarter, and -8.8% in the first quarter);

(+8 million euros), in both the Fixed-line and Mobile business.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With respect to the Brazil Business Unit, revenues in 2014
decreased by 701 million euros, or 10.1% compared to 2013. Revenues from services decreased in 2014, mainly due to lower revenues from incoming traffic as a result of the reduction in the mobile termination rate. Handset revenues also declined,
mainly due to a reduction in sales volumes. The total number of lines for the Brazil Business Unit on December 31, 2014 was 75.7 million, up 3.1% compared with December 31, 2013.

This item increased by 77 million euros compared to 2013. The increase mainly related to the full release of the
remaining risk provisions, in an amount of 84 million euros, already allocated in the 2009 consolidated financial statements, with respect to the Telecom Italia Sparkle affair; the interest element (a further 2 million euros) was released into
finance income.



|v |  | OPERATING EXPENSES
|- |  | ------------------

Our operating expenses amounted to 17,444 million euros in 2014, a decrease of 3,569 million euros, or 17.0%, compared to 21,013 million
euros in 2013. The decline in operating expenses was also due to the reduction of impairment losses on non-current assets which decreased from 2,187 million euros in 2013 to 1 million euros in 2014.

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



The components of our operating expenses include the following:



|· |  | Acquisition of goods and services amounted to 9,430 million euros in 2014, a decrease of 947 million euros
compared to 2013 (10,377 million euros). The reduction was mainly due to the Brazil Business Unit, a decrease of 670 million euros (including a negative exchange rate effect of 347 million euros), which also reflects the reduction in prices for
interconnection services, with a decline in revenues due to other TLC operators. The Domestic Business Unit, on the other hand, reported a reduction of 223 million euros. The decrease in acquisition of goods and services also offset the higher
costs, resulting from Telecom Italias new market strategy, aimed at gradually ceasing to subsidize handsets in bundle deals. The new commercial strategy had an impact of 63 million euros of costs recognized in the income statement
for 2014. In 2013 the capitalized costs for subsidizing handsets (amortized over the term of the contract with the customer, from 24 to 30 months) amounted to 188 million euros.

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the reduction in the average workforce by 820 employees compared to 2013, of which an average of 530 units was a result
of the application of the Solidarity Contracts by the Parent, Telecom Italia Information Technology, and by Olivetti S.p.A. (in 2013, the Parent and Telecom Italia Information Technology applied the solidarity contracts from the second
quarter of 2013);

|· |  | Depreciation and Amortization
|- |  | -----------------------------

The following table sets forth depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The reduction in depreciation and amortization of 269 million euros was mainly attributable to the
Domestic Business Unit (-278 million euros), essentially due to a decrease in depreciable and amortizable assets.



|· |  | Gains (losses) on disposals of non-current assets
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------

In 2014, this item amounted to 29 million euros. A gain of approximately 38 million euros, on the sale by Telecom Italia S.p.A. of a
property located in Milan, for a price of 75 million euros, was partially offset by net losses of 11 million euros, mainly relating to the disposal of tangible assets by the Domestic Business Unit.

In 2013, this item showed a loss of 82 million euros, mainly relating to the realized loss, including transaction costs, of 100 million
euros from the sale of La7 S.r.l. to the Cairo Communication group on April 30, 2013. This charge was offset by net capital gains on non-current assets totaling 18 million euros, mainly relating to the sale of a property (around 17 million euros),
and the sale of the entire controlling interest (51%) held in MTV Italia S.r.l. (3 million euros).



|· |  | Net impairment losses on non-current assets
|- |  | -------------------------------------------

These amounted to 1 million euros in 2014. In 2014, Telecom Italia performed the goodwill impairment test. The results of that testing,
carried out in accordance with the specific procedure adopted by the Telecom Italia Group, confirmed the values of goodwill allocated to the individual Cash-Generating Unit of the Group.

In 2013, this item amounted to 2,187 million euros and was essentially related to the impairment loss on goodwill allocated to the Core
Domestic Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) in the Domestic Business Unit.

Further details are provided in the
NoteGoodwill of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.



|v |  | OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS)
|- |  | -----------------------

Operating profit was 4,530 million euros in 2014 (2,718 million euros in 2013, including the impact of the above-mentioned impairment
loss of 2,187 million euros on the goodwill allocated to the Core Domestic CGU).



|v |  | OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES) FROM
INVESTMENTS
|- |  | ----------------------------------------

This amounted to a positive 16 million euros, essentially reflecting the
remeasurement at fair value of the 41.07% interest already held in Trentino NGN S.r.l., performed pursuant to IFRS 3, following the acquisition of control of the company by Telecom Italia S.p.A. on February 28, 2014, at a price of 17 million euros.



|v |  | FINANCE INCOME (EXPENSES)
|- |  | -------------------------

Finance income (expenses) showed net expenses of 2,194 million euros (net expenses of 2,183 million euros in 2013), an increase of 11 million euros.

This increase was linked to the net effect resulting from the change in certain non-monetary items  of a valuation and accounting nature, linked
in particular to derivatives  which was offset in part by the reduction in finance expenses related to the debt position.

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



In particular, the following is noted:



| | · |  | an increase in the balance of finance expenses linked to the changes in the valuations of several hedging derivatives,
attributable to market fluctuations linked to currency translation. These are unrealized valuation and accounting changes which do not result in any actual monetary settlement. In 2013, a benefit was also recognized, of around 25 million euros,
following the first-time adoption of the new IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, whereas for 2014 there was a negative impact of 72 million euros;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the issuance at the end of 2013, by Telecom Italia Finance S.A., of the mandatory convertible bond in an amount of 1.3
billion euros (Guaranteed Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due 2016 convertible into ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A.), resulted in the accounting recognition of the option embedded in the financial instrument separately
from the related liability. In 2014, the measurement of the option at fair value through profit or loss resulted in a negative impact on adjustments to non-hedging derivatives of 174 million euros (in 2013 the impact was -124 million euros).

expenses, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.



|v |  | INCOME TAX EXPENSE
|- |  | ------------------

This item amounted to 928 million euros, a decrease of 183 million euros from 2013 (1,111 million euros), largely due to the smaller taxable base of the
Parent Telecom Italia. The Brazil Business Unit recorded a decrease in tax expense of 16 million euros compared to 2013. This was due to the exchange rate effect of approximately 18 million euros. Net of that effect, income tax expense would
have been substantially in line with the previous year, consistent with the trend in the taxable base expressed in local currency.



|v |  | PROFIT (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS/NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For 2014, the item Profit from Non-current assets held for sale amounted to 541 million euros (341 million euros in 2013) and related to:



| | · |  | the positive contribution to the consolidation from the SoforaTelecom Argentina group of 544 million euros (378
million euros in 2013);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the costs related to disposals carried out in previous years and other items totaling 3 million euros (37 million
euros in 2013, of which 18 million euros relating to deferred taxes and sundry expenses connected to the sale of the Sofora group and 19 million euros relating to disposals made in previous years).
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

5.2.9    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OF BUSINESS UNITS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 COMPARED WITH THE
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013



|v |  | DOMESTIC
|- |  | --------

Starting from 2014, the Domestic Business Unit also includes the Olivetti group, in addition to Core Domestic and International Wholesale. This different
presentation reflects the commercial and business placement of the Olivetti group and the process of integrating the products and services offered by the Olivetti group as complements to those offered by Telecom Italia in the domestic market.
Accordingly, the figures for 2013 have been restated on a consistent basis.

Revenues

Revenues decreased
from 16,388 million euros in 2013 to 15,303 million euros in 2014.

In an economic scenario that continues to show structural weakness, the change
in 2014 compared to 2013 was a decrease of 6.6% (-1,085 million euros), with a decrease in the fourth quarter of -5.0% compared to the same period of 2013 (-3.9% net of the negative impact of the retroactive revision of prices for wholesale access
services for the period 2010-2012, which resulted in the recognition in the fourth quarter of 45 million euros in lower revenues from previous years), representing an improvement on the previous quarters of 2014 (-5.0% third quarter, -8.2% second
quarter, -8.3% first quarter) and on the entire year 2013 (-9.5%).

This trend in revenues was primarily due to the progressive stabilization in
market sharemainly Mobileand growth in Fixed-line Broadband, ICT and Mobile Internet revenues.

The following table sets forth the
Domestic Business Units revenues by market segment for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

|· |  | Consumer: revenues for the Consumer segment in 2014 amounted to 7,349 million euros, down 621 million
euros compared to 2013 (-7.8%). This performance, although still negative, reflects an improvement in the second half of 2014. Compared to the same periods of 2013, the following performance was recorded in 2014: in the fourth quarter -5.1%; in the
third quarter -5.2%; in the second quarter -9.2%; and in the first quarter -11.7%. In particular, revenues from Mobile services fell by -398 million euros (-11.1%) compared to 2013 and -7.2% in the fourth quarter 2014 (against -6.6% in the third
quarter, -13.7% in the second quarter and -16.9% in the first quarter). This reflected the positive impact from the structural improvement in competitive performance, the gradual stabilization of the customer base and ARPU, and the steady growth in
mobile internet. Revenues from Fixed-line services also showed signs of recovery compared to the decline seen in the first part of the year, with a reduction of -238 million euros (-5.9%) compared to the year 2013, and -3.4% in the fourth quarter
2014 (-6.1% in the third quarter, -7.9% in the second quarter and -6.2% in the first quarter), owing to stable market share and the positive performance of Broadband ARPU, supported by the increased proportion of customers with flat contracts and
service upgrades (Fiber);

euros from 2013 (-7.4%), but an improvement on the previous periods, particularly for revenues from services (4,436 million euros, -425 million compared to 2013, or -8.7%; -6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014, -7.9% in the third quarter, -10.6% in
the second quarter and -9.8% in the first quarter). In the Mobile business (-159 million euros in 2014 compared to 2013; -11.7%), despite the effective defensive actions and growth of the customer base  which increased by 3.7% 
traditional voice and messaging services continued to decline (-183 million euros in 2014 compared to 2013), due to the repositioning of customers towards deals with lower overall ARPU. The Fixed-line segment (-271 million euros in 2014 compared to
2013; -7.6%) continued to feel the effects of the economic recession and the contraction in prices on traditional voice and data services, although there were signs of recovery in the second half due in part to the steady growth in ICT revenues
(+3.5% over 2013, of which +22.0% for Cloud Services);

|· |  | National Wholesale: revenues for the Wholesale segment in 2014 amounted to 1,793 million euros, a decrease
of 104 million euros compared to 2013 (-5.5%). The decline was mainly attributable to the reduction in fixed-line and mobile termination rates, retroactive revision of wholesale access prices by the Regulatory Authority for the period 2010-2012, the
beginning of the migration to IP infrastructure solutions, and the drop in prices for national roaming.

International Wholesale revenues for 2014 amounted to 1,244 million euros, a decline of 19 million euros compared to
2013 (-1.5%). Revenues were down both for Voice services (-6 million euros, -0.6%) and for IP/Data services (-8 million euros, -3.1%), as a result of growth in competition with a reduction in prices. The Multinational Companies business segment
also showed a slight decrease (-2 million euros, -3.1%), whereas revenues for Mobile services were up slightly (+3 million euros, +12.2%).

Revenues for the Olivetti group in 2014 amounted to 227 million euros, down 38 million euros compared to 2013 (-14.3%).

The reduction in revenues reflected the slowdown in sales outside Italy (-20 million euros), specifically attributable to price competition for bank
printers in the Chinese market, and the adverse economic situation in the Italian market (-18 million euros).

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



Operating profit

Operating profit for 2014 was positive at 3,738 million euros (1,985 million euros in 2013), with an Operating profit margin of 24.4% (12.1% in 2013). In
particular, this performance was due to the absence of the goodwill impairment loss for the Core Domestic Cash Generating Unit of 2,187 million euros, recognized in 2013.

The operating profit was also impacted by the change in the following line items included under operating expenses and reflected in the table below.

In detail:



|· |  | acquisition of goods and servicesdecreased by 223 million euros (-3.7%) compared with 2013, mainly attributable
to efficiency measures on overheadwhich resulted in an overall reduction in general and administrative expenses, with specific regard to professional and consulting servicesand to commercial cost containment, due to the cooling of
competitive pressure (specifically in the Mobile business) and the resulting easing of the effort on marketing levers (lower distribution and advertising costs);
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | employee benefits expensesincreased by 19 million euros compared with 2013, mainly due to the increase in
ordinary employee expenses of 26 million euros, partially offset by the reduction in restructuring expenses of 7 million euros. In particular:
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | ordinary employee expenses and costs increased as a result of higher expenses due to the increase in the contractual
minimums established in the TLC National Collective Labor Agreement signed on February 1, 2013, as well as the recognition of the notional costs relating to the launch of the Broad-Based Share Ownership Plan and the Stock Option Plan (23 million
euros), which were offset by lower expenses resulting from the reduction in the average workforce by 836 employees compared to 2013 (of which an average of 530 employees was a result of the application of the Solidarity Contracts by the
Parent, Telecom Italia Information Technology and Olivetti S.p.A.; in 2013 the Parent and Telecom Italia Information Technology had applied the solidarity contracts from the second quarter of 2013);

| | · |  | a total of 12 million euros was recognized for restructuring expenses: 5 million euros for the mobility agreement
pursuant to Law 223/91 signed by the Parent with trade unions on December 1, 2014 as an addition to the agreement of April 5, 2013; 3 million euros for the mobility pursuant to Law 223/91 that Olivetti S.p.A. signed with trade unions on March 1,
2014; and 4 million euros for the restructuring expenses relating to some foreign companies of the Olivetti group. In 2013, expenses of 19 million euros were recognized for the agreements with trade unions signed by the Parent Telecom Italia S.p.A.
and the company Advanced Caring Center;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | other operating expenses, totaling 570 million euros, fell by 100 million euros compared to the previous year. In
2013, this item (see the item sundry expenses in the table below) included an amount of 84 million euros recognized as the estimate of the costs related to the fine imposed by the Italian Antitrust Authority (AGCM) at the end of the A428
proceedings.

Revenues

Revenues for 2014,
amounting to 19,498 million reais, were down by 2.1% compared to 2013 (-423 million reais). Service revenues totaled 16,325 million reais, a decrease of 376 million reais compared to 16,701 million reais for 2013 (-2.3%), mainly due to lower
revenues from incoming traffic as a result of the reduction of the mobile termination rate. Revenues from product sales fell from 3,220 million reais in 2013 to 3,173 million reais in 2014 (-1.5%). This decrease was attributable to a reduction in
sales volumes, which was only partially offset by an increase in prices.

Mobile Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) amounted to 17.7 reais for 2014
compared with 18.6 reais for 2013 (-4.8%). The ARPU, as well as revenues from services, was affected by a further reduction, with effect from February 2014, in the mobile termination rate.

The total number of lines at December 31, 2014 amounted to 75,721 thousand, 3.1% higher than on December 31, 2013, representing a market share of
approximately 27% in terms of lines.

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Results Of Operations For The Three Years Ended December 31, 2015



Operating profit

The operating profit increased by 23 million reais (2,483 million reais in 2014 compared to 2,460 million reais in 2013), notwithstanding the decrease in
revenues. This increase was mainly due to lower costs for the acquisition of goods and services of 1,006 million reais, mainly attributable to lower revenues due to other TLC operators, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization
charges and higher employee benefits expenses.

With regard to changes in operating costs, the following table sets forth certain expenses for the
years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Acquisition of control of Rete A S.p.A.

On June 30, 2014, Telecom Italia Media (TI Media) and Gruppo Editoriale LEspresso (Espresso group) completed the business combination of
the digital terrestrial network operator businesses controlled by Persidera S.p.A. (new name of Telecom Italia Media Broadcasting S.r.l.) and Rete A S.p.A. (Rete A), respectively.

The business combination was carried out through Gruppo Editoriale LEspressos transfer of 100% of Rete A shares to Persidera, as a
subscription to a capital increase reserved to it, and subsequent merger of Rete A with and into Persidera. As a result of the aforementioned transactions, TI Media and Gruppo Editoriale LEspresso hold 70% and 30%, respectively, of the shares
in Persidera, which in turn controlled Rete As entire share capital.

The merger of Rete A by absorption into Persidera was completed on
December 1, 2014.

The group resulting from the transaction is the primary supplier of leading non-integrated national and foreign television
content providers operating in the Italian market.

Also in view of the uncertainty surrounding regulatory changes concerning the use of
frequencies, TI Media has retained a purchase option on user licenses (therefore excluding infrastructure and customers) for one of the five frequencies that are owned by the combined entity.

The Telecom Italia Media Board of Directors, at the meeting of January 15, 2015, acknowledged the developments in the Persidera valuation process and
decided that the results of the process obtained to date were not in line with expectations, and therefore, the sale of the investment held is not foreseeable at this stage.

At December 31, 2014, the three Digital Multiplexes of Persidera S.p.A. (pre-merger) had reached a population coverage of 95.6% of the Italian
population compared to 95.2% at December 31, 2013. The coverage of the two Digital Multiplexes of the former Rete A was 93.4% and 93.7%.

Revenues

Revenues amounted to 71 million euros in 2014, a decrease of 1 million euros compared to 72 million euros in 2013. The entry of Rete A into the
scope of consolidation resulted in higher revenues of 9 million euros. Net of those revenues, the reduction in sales would have been 10 million euros and was connected to the expiry, at the end of 2013, of the contract with RTI (Mediaset Extra and
Italia 2) and the termination, also at the end of 2013, of the contract with the channel QVC.

Operating profit (loss)

Operating profit was 6 million euros in 2014 (2 million euros in 2013). This performance was mainly due to the reduction in amortization and depreciation
of 9 million euros, mainly attributable to the redefinition, during the annual review, of the useful lives of the Network Operator frequenciesextended from December 31, 2028 to December 31, 2032, as a result of the final allocation of the
licenses for pursuit of television broadcasting activitiesand the transceivers, in line with their technological evolution. These revisions of the useful lives led to the recognition of a total of around 11 million euros less amortization and
depreciation.

Employees

Employees were 89 at
December 31, 2014, an increase of 5 units compared to December 31, 2013 (84 units).

|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The results of the SoforaTelecom Argentina group, which was classified under Discontinued operations/Non-current
assets held for sale following the agreement for the sale to Fintech entered into on November 13, 2013 and subsequently amended on October 24, 2014 are shown below. On March 8, 2016, the Telecom Italia Group completed the sale of
SoforaTelecom Argentina group (for further details please see the Note Events Subsequent to December 31, 2015 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report).

The average exchange rate used for the conversion into euro of the Argentine peso (expressed in terms of units of local currency per 1 euro) was
10.76605 in 2014 and 7.27875 in 2013 and reflected the sharp depreciation of the currency during 2014.

Revenues

Revenues for 2014
amounted to 33,341 million pesos, increasing by 6,055 million pesos (+22.2%) compared to 2013 (27,286 million pesos), mainly due to the growth in the related average revenue per user (ARPU) and the sale of handsets at a higher average price. The
main source of revenues was mobile telephony, which accounted for about 74% of the consolidated revenues of the SoforaTelecom Argentina group, an increase of 22% on 2013.

Operating profit

Operating profit in 2014 was 8,657 million
pesos compared to 3,774 million pesos recorded in 2013. The increase of 4,883 million pesos was attributable to the aforementioned increase in revenues and the suspension of calculation of depreciation and amortization following the classification
of the investment in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group as Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale.

With regard to the change
in the main costs, the following is noted:



|· |  | acquisition of goods and services amounted to 14,963 million pesos (12,293 million pesos in 2013). The increase
of 21.7% compared to 2013 (+2,670 million pesos) was mainly due to higher external service costs of 1,591 million pesos and greater purchases of goods of 895 million pesos;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | employee benefits expenses, amounting to 5,655 million pesos, increased by 1,477 million pesos compared to 2013
(+35.4%). The change was due to salary increases resulting from periodic revisions in union agreements, primarily linked to inflation, and to the increase in provisions for termination benefit incentives. The percentage of employee benefits expenses
to total revenues was 17.0%, up 1.7 percentage points over 2013;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | other operating expenses amounted to 4,038 million pesos, increasing 566 million pesos compared to 2013, mainly
as a result of the 528 million pesos increase in indirect duties and taxes;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | net impairmentlosseson non-current assets (26 million pesos in 2014) mainly related to work in progress
initiated in previous years and now abandoned. In 2013, this amounted to 172 million pesos and related to several business projects and IT platforms that the group had decided to abandon.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Liquidity And Capital Resources



5.3    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Telecom Italia Groups policy is to manage financial risks (market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk) by defining, at a central level,
guidelines for directing operations, identifying the most appropriate financial instruments to meet pre-determined objectives, monitoring the results achieved and excluding the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Telecom Italia has a centralized Finance Department which operates in the interests of the entire Group:



|· |  | allocating liquidity where necessary;
|- |  | -------------------------------------



|· |  | obtaining excess cash resources from the Group companies;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | guaranteeing an adequate level of liquidity compatible with individual needs;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | supporting its subsidiaries to gain access to the loan market; and
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | providing financial consulting services to its subsidiaries.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

These activities reduce the Group companies need to seek bank lines and enable those companies to obtain better conditions from the banking system
by constantly monitoring cash flows and ensuring a more efficient use of liquidity in excess of requirements.

Furthermore, the Telecom Italia Group
has a centralized financial risk management policy for market, credit and liquidity risks. For additional details on funding and treasury policies and risk policies reference should be made to the NoteFinancial Assets (non-current and
current) and NoteFinancial risk management of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The Telecom Italia Groups goal is to achieve an adequate level of financial flexibility which is expressed by maintaining a treasury
margin (composed by cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and undrawn committed credit lines) to cover refinancing requirements at least for the next 12-18 months.

5.3.1    LIQUIDITY

Telecom Italia
Groups primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and its principal use of funds are the payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and investments, the servicing of debt, the payment of dividends to shareholders
and strategic investments.

For additional details, reference should be made to the NoteFinancial Assets (non-current and current)
of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The table below summarizes, for the periods
indicated, the Telecom Italia Groups cash flows.

5.3.2 CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net Financial Debt

Net Financial Debt
is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the 1934 Act. For further details please see 5.2.3Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

On a consolidated basis, at December 31, 2015 Net Financial Debt was 28,475 million euros compared to 28,021 million euros at
December 31, 2014 (an increase of 454 million euros).

In our 2016-2018 Plan, we confirmed that maintaining strong financial discipline is
one of our strategic priorities. It is projected that the Groups Net Financial Debt will benefit, among other things, from planned efforts to increase efficiency that will take place in addition to the previously announced sale of a share of
INWIT, the 1.3 billion euros increase in equity resulting from redemption of the Mandatory Convertible Bonds and the completion of the sale of Telecom Argentina, which occurred on March 8, 2016 (for further detail, please see
NoteEvents Subsequent to December 31, 2015).

Please see IntroductionCautionary Statement for Purposes of the
Safe Harbor Provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, included elsewhere in this Annual Report, for a discussion of factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the
target discussed above. See, also, Item 3. Key Information3.1 Risk Factors.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve the
financial targets we have established.

The non-current portion of gross financial debt was 30,518 million euros at December 31, 2015
(32,325 million euros at December 31, 2014 and 31,084 million euros at December 31, 2013) and corresponds to 82.3% of total gross financial debt.

The financial risk management policies of the Telecom Italia Group are directed towards diversifying market risks, hedging exchange rate risk in full
and optimizing interest rate exposure by an appropriate diversification of the portfolio, which is also achieved by using carefully selected derivative financial instruments. It should be stressed that such instruments are not used for speculative
purposes and all have an underlying, which is hedged.

Furthermore, in order to determine its exposure to interest rates, the Group defines an
optimum composition for the fixed-rate and variable-rate debt structure and uses derivative financial instruments to achieve that prefixed composition. Taking into account the Groups operating activities, the optimum mix of medium/long-term
non-current financial liabilities has been established, on the basis of the nominal amount, in a range of 65%-75% for the fixed-rate component and 25%-35% for the floating-rate component.

In managing market risks, the Group has adopted the Guidelines for the Management and control of financial risk and mainly uses Interest
Rate Swaps (IRS) and Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps (CCIRS).

Volatility in the levels of interest rates and exchange rates since the fourth
quarter of 2008 due to the financial crisis, significantly impacted the fair value measurement of derivative positions and the underlying assets and liabilities.

|(*) | Starting from 2014, the Domestic Business Unit also includes the Olivetti group, in addition to Core Domestic and
International Wholesale. The comparative period has been adjusted accordingly.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In particular:



| | · |  | the Domestic Business Unit reported a decline of 248 million euros in capital expenditures in 2014. This
reduction was entirely attributable to the more traditional components of capital expenditures, and involved the abandonment of several platforms and the simplification of various industrial processes. A portion of these savings was targeted to the
development of next generation networks (LTE and fiber, +156 million euros);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the Brazil Business Unit reported an increase of 846 million euros in capital expenditures in 2014 (including a
negative exchange rate effect of 110 million euros). The increase was essentially attributable to the allocation at the end of 2014 of the user rights for the 700MHz frequency for the development of the fourth-generation network on LTE technology,
and the related incidental costs, as well as the costs for cleaning up the frequencies (freeing up of the spectrum licensed) totaling 936 million euros.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Financial investments amounted to 32 million euros and mainly consisted of:
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | 9 million euros for the acquisition of control by Telecom Italia S.p.A. over the company Trentino NGN S.r.l. as the
difference between the price paid (17 million euros) and the net cash acquired (8 million euros); and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | 21 million euros, for the acquisition of the controlling interest in Rete A S.p.A. now merged into Persidera S.p.A.
(Media Business Unit).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Disposal of investments and other divestituresamounted to 238 million euros in 2014 and principally relates
to:
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the receipt of 71 million euros, already net of the 4 million euros pledged as security, from the sale by Telecom Italia
S.p.A. of a property located in Milan; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the receipt of 160 million euros from the sale to Fintech of the 17% non-controlling interest in the Sofora capital; the
amount does not include the other assets transferred at the same time as the shares, for an amount of around 10 million euros.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

***

The following should also be taken into account with respect to net financial debt:



|· |  | Sales of receivables to factoring companies
|- |  | -------------------------------------------

Sales of receivables to factoring companies completed during 2014 resulted in a positive effect on net financial debt at December 31,
2014 of 1,316 million euros (1,434 million euros at December 31, 2013). On August 4, 2014, Telecom Italia S.p.A. sold IRES tax receivables without recourse for 303 million euros. The

sale of these receivables, which had arisen in 2012 pursuant to Decree Law 16/2012 and were recognized in the 2012 financial statements, generated net proceeds and a positive impact on financial
debt of 231 million euros.

Gross Financial Debt

On a consolidated basis, at December 31, 2015, our gross financial debt amounted to 37,090 million euros (37,054 million euros at December 31,
2014) and included non-current financial liabilities (long-term debt) of 30,518 million euros (32,325 million euros at December 31, 2014), current financial liabilities (short-term debt) of 6,224 million euros (4,686 million euros at
December 31, 2014) and financial liabilities directly associated with Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale of 348 million euros (43 million euros at December 31, 2014).

On December 14, 2015, a number of
beneficial changes were made to the economic terms of the Revolving Credit Facilities and the terms were extended by two years. These changes became effective on January 4, 2016. The 4 billion euro facility will expire on May 24, 2019 and the 3
billion euro facility will expire on March 25, 2020.

Telecom Italia also has access to:



|· |  | a bilateral term loan from Banca Regionale Europea expiring July 2019 for 200 million euros, drawn down for the full
amount;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | two bilateral term loans from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, one expiring in April 2019 for 100 million euros and another
expiring in October 2019, for 150 million euros both of which have drawn down for the full amount;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | two bilateral term loans from Mediobanca; one for 200 million euros expiring in November 2019 and another for 150
million euros expiring in July 2020, drawn down for the full amount;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a bilateral term loan from ICBC expiring in July 2020 for 120 million euros, drawn down for the full amount;

|· |  | a bilateral term loan from Intesa Sanpaolo expiring August 2021 for 200 million euros, drawn down for the full amount.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maturities of financial liabilities and average cost of debt

The average maturity of non-current financial liabilities (including the current portion of medium/long-term financial liabilities due within 12 months)
is 7.75 years.

The average cost of the Groups debt, considered as the cost for the year calculated on an annual basis and resulting from the
ratio of debt-related expenses to average exposure, is about 5.3%.

For further details about the maturities of financial liabilities in terms of
the expected nominal repayment amounts, as contractually agreed, please see below Contractual Obligations and Commitments.

Current financial assets and liquidity margin

The Telecom Italia Groups available liquidity margin amounted to 12,047 million euros at December 31, 2015 (net of 202 million euros related
to Discontinued Operations/Non-current assets held for sale), corresponding to the sum of Cash and cash equivalents and Current securities other than investments, totaling 5,047 million euros (6,112 million euros at December
31, 2014), and the committed credit lines, mentioned above, of which a total of 7,000 million euros had not been drawn down. This margin is sufficient to cover the Groups Financial Liabilities due over the next 24 months. The reduction in
Cash and cash equivalents compared to December 31, 2014 reflected the trend in repayments/new issues, as well as the use of liquidity to repurchase Group bonds.

In particular:



|· |  | Cash and cash equivalents amounted to 3,559 million euros (4,812 million euros at December 31, 2014). The different
technical forms of investing available cash at December 31, 2015 can be analyzed as follows:
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Maturities: all deposits have a maximum maturity of three months;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Counterpart risk: deposits by the European companies are made with leading banking, financial and industrial
institutions with high credit quality. Investments by the companies in South America are made with leading local counterparties;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Country risk: deposits have been made mainly in major European financial markets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Securities other than investments amounted to 1,488 million euros (1,300 million euros at December 31, 2014). These
forms of investment represent alternatives to the investment of liquidity with the aim of improving returns. They consist of 256 million euros of Italian treasury bonds purchased by Telecom Italia S.p.A. and 151 million euros of Italian treasury
bonds purchased by Telecom Italia Finance S.A.; 6 million euros of Italian Treasury Certificates (CCTs) (assigned to Telecom Italia S.p.A. as the holder of trade receivables, as per Italian Ministry of the Economy and Finance Decree of December 3,
2012); 584 million euros of bonds purchased by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. with different maturities, all with an active market and consequently readily convertible into cash; and 350 million euros of investments in two Belgian Sicavs by Telecom

The Group uses a variety of instruments to finance its operations and raise liquidity, in particular bond issues, alongside committed and uncommitted
bank lines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2015, the Telecom Italia Group had the following items that are considered to be off-balance sheet arrangements.

Guarantees net of back-to-back guarantees received amounted to 8 million euros.

The guarantees provided by third parties to Group companies, amounting to 5,338 million euros, consisted of guarantee for loans received (2,361 million

Among the guarantees provided by banks and other financial
institutions on behalf of Telecom Italia there are two guarantees in favor of the Ministry of Economic Development for the auction to assign the user rights for the 800, 1800 and 2600MHz frequencies. The guarantees amount, respectively, to 38
million euros (for the commitment undertaken by the Company to build equipment networks according to eco-sustainability characteristics) and 182 million euros (for the request to pay back the total amount owed over a period of 5 years). In
particular, the Company has made a commitment to achieve energy savings in the new LTE technologies of approximately 10% on infrastructure and 20% on transmission devices over a period of 5 years (compared to energy consumed by current technology).

5.4    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Telecom Italia: a strategically important group

Telecom
Italia generates approximately 0.7% of the added value of Italian GDP(1). The Group
provides direct employment for around 50,000 people in Italy. This means that for every 225 private sector employees(2), one is employed by the Telecom Italia Group. The Groups footprint
becomes even more significant when the number of indirect employees, such as the ones working on projects connected with the activities of Telecom Italia, is taken into consideration. A total of approximately 100,000 people, corresponding to around
1% of employees in the entire private sector, are either directly or indirectly employed by the Group in Italy.

Telecom Italia operates the largest
fixed voice and data infrastructure, covering the whole of Italy, and provides one of Italys most extensive and advanced mobile network platforms.

In terms of size, presence and infrastructural and technological assets, Telecom Italia is deeply integrated with the social, economic and production
fabric of Italy, with a significant role within the countrys economy and, more generally, the welfare of its citizens.

Telecom Italia is
aware of this strategic role and works constantly to manage and update the infrastructure and technology it provides to the country. In 2015, Telecom Italia invested approximately 3 billion euros in Italy in innovative infrastructures, earning it a
top place in the national ranking based on the volume of investments(3). The new Group
Business Plan projects further investments of 6.7 billion euros over the 2016-2018 period in advanced technologies and infrastructure, particularly with respect to new generation networks (NGAN, Next Generation Access Network, and LTE, Long-Term
Evolution or 4G), cloud and platforms.

During 2015, there was a significant increase in the speed of investments made by Telecom Italia in Next
Generation Access Networks (NGAN). This was made possible in particular by technological innovation, which fundamentally changed the reference scenario. Solutions that bring fiber to the line splitter cabinet and then continue into the home using
copper wires, known as FTTCab (Fiber to the Cabinet), are now considered to be fully fledged next generation networks. By enhancing existing network infrastructure in the final access section, FTTCab solutions reduce the investment required compared
to FTTH (Fiber to the Home) solutions, by avoiding the need to lay fiber optic cables that can reach the customers home. This allows next generation access networks to be created more quickly and less expensively.

In the meantime, mobile network coverage of the whole Country with the new 4G/LTE standard, a significant evolution in response to the growing demand
for high speed data, has almost been completed. Download and upload speeds, which are already comparable to those of fixed line broadband networks, will be able to increase further as the performance of the devices and the availability of
appropriate frequencies improve.

Having established the national fixed and mobile infrastructure in the past century and Italys broadband
network in the first 10 years of the new century, the challenge the Group now faces is to establish ultra-broadband networks, a major effort on which network technicians and engineers are working every day.

The ambitious investment plan that Telecom Italia is implementing coincides with efforts by the Italian government to devise and implement a national
strategic ultra-broadband plan, which aims to achieve the challenging objectives of the European Digital Agenda for widespread supply of infrastructure and increased demand for digital services. Telecom Italias investment plan therefore is an
important element in the digital transformation of Italian society, confirming the Groups role as a key player in the countrys modernization and achievement of the European Digital Agenda objectives.

|Item 5. Operating And Financial Review And Prospects |  | Research, Development And Innovation



Research and development

The Telecommunications sector has undergone a rapid but major transformation in recent years, characterized by a decline in traditional voice services
and the ever-greater growth of fixed and mobile broadband and associated services, which has contributed to the rapid digitization of consumers and business processes.

In light of these developments, Telecom Italia has launched an initiative intended to enhance its standing as a supplier of services and platforms, and
not just connectivity. This initiative contemplates two parallel lines of action:



|· |  | acceleration of the development of enabling platforms, namely fixed and mobile ultra-broadband, data centers, big data
and IT;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | enhancement of connectivity with innovative digital services towards the development of a digitized society and an
automated industry (Industry 4.0).
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technological and business innovation is a central element of the Telecom Italia strategy for
responding to changes in the technological, market and competitive environments.

Investments in new generation infrastructure, both fixed and
mobile, and in new services, have been accompanied by action to support innovation across the board. Internally, Telecom Italia has strengthened company laboratories and increased its focus on digital innovation, with a view to responding to
fluctuating demand to be met by the activities of the Innovation Centre.

The digital innovation plan is based on a paradigm of open innovation that
is realized by accompanying the internal generation of ideas and development routes with the generation of ideas and development routes coming from outside the company. As such, Telecom Italia has reviewed and renewed its relations with
universities, financing over 100 PhDs sponsoring Masters degree courses and chairs in market innovation. Moreover, on the academic front, the Joint Open Labs, research laboratories that propose a new way for industry and universities to work
together, have been created. These laboratories have emerged from agreements on specified fields of scientific and technological interest and live inside the university campuses (Trento, Turin, Milan, Pisa and Catania). In the last three
years, these public-private partnerships have enabled Telecom Italia to obtain 5 million euros in European funds for research, in addition to 2 million euros received from the universities with which it collaborates.

In addition to open innovation, the digital innovation is premised on another important cornerstone: co-innovation, a development model that envisions
the full optimization of the ecosystem of stakeholders and strategic partners of the company as bearers of innovation in the market. Through the application of two-sided models, Telecom Italia creates a common framework or platform of
interaction from which two different user groups can mutually benefit, thereby creating greater value.

Telecom Italia has expanded upon the Working
Capital activities (now renamed TIM #Wcap). After its debut as a program designed to support research and business projects, since 2013, TIM #Wcap has opened four accelerators located in key locations in the Italian digital innovation market: Rome,
Milan, Bologna and Catania. The dozens of start-ups selected each year by these accelerators benefit from approximately 4,000 m2 in spaces offered, and are guided by consultants and experts in
their growth path, which ranges from product development to launch in the market. Since 2009, this process has provided support to a total of 268 projects. In the last two years, Telecom Italia has started 25 collaborations with start-ups from TIM
#Wcap, which have generated turnover for the young businesses and represent successful open innovation models for the Group. Moreover, also in the last two years, 215 jobs have been created thanks to TIM #Wcap. This data illustrates the role of the
Telecom Italia accelerator in the development of the digital economy within Italy.

Starting with TIM #Wcap, Telecom Italia has also taken part in
seed investment, launching TIM Ventures, the Group company created with the aim of investing in options or share capital in the most innovative start-ups in the digital, internet, mobile and green ICT sectors. In just one year of activity, TIM
Ventures has already invested in 12 start-ups and is considered to be among the most active European VC investors in 2015 (source: Venture Pulse Q215KPMG and CB Insights).

fixed and mobile networks and of computing technology. Such needs include the use of digital payment services, entertainment (video, gaming, reading), home automation and other services that were
previously accessible only in limited environments and circumstances.

The business innovation activities supplement traditional research and
development through the development of prototyping and experimentation options for solutions to meet new digital service demands, internally through the Innovation Centre, and by opening up to external sources of ideas, which can help construct an
open innovation model based on a valuable network of players (Joint Open Lab, TIM Wcap, Tim Ventures, Foundry, Partnerships, etc.).

In this
context, Telecom Italia is overseeing the various areas of digital services, namely Enriched Communication, Trusted Digital Life, Business Life, Indoor Life, Mobile Open Life, Digital Entertainment and Big Data; below is a summary of some of the
main projects that Telecom Italia has developed or is developing in these areas:



|· |  | Smart Green: innovation projects connected to the environment and potential partnerships with local government
offices for monitoring of air in public offices and urban areas, using networks of sensors connected to the Telecom Italia Cloud.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Social Reading: shared reading application for schools, already tested in several schools throughout Italy, that
has been further developed and accompanied by a shared reading solution for Italian libraries and licensed to specialized partners. This application makes it possible to share comments and viewpoints about the book borrowed with others that have
already read it or plan to read it. The library solution also has a series of settings that facilitate reading even by readers with specific learning difficulties (SLDs).

|· |  | Solutions for good schooling: as part of the collaboration between Telecom Italia and the Regional
Education Department of Piedmont, a training course was held for secondary school teachers to teach them how to use the Open Source ROS (Robot Operating System) framework, which is the standard de facto framework for writing
hardware-dependent robotic applications.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Digital tourism 2.0: Virgil, robot a corte is a museum guide project designed to optimize cultural
heritage, developed by the Telecom Italia Joint Open Lab in Turin, the Regional Directorate of Cultural Heritage for Piedmont, Museum Hub and with the collaboration of the Turin Politecnico University Department of Architecture and Design. The
project aims to provide the museum guides with a digital tool that enables them to show visitors part of the heritage that is otherwise inaccessible for various reasons (security, repair, inacessibility to disabled, etc.) and, above all, place this
environment in the center of a network of interconnected tourism sites thanks to the Telecom Italia data network.

|· |  | Smart Home: developed by Telecom Italia Joint Open Lab in Milan, in collaboration with Milan Politecnico
University, this includes new technologies and services being tested for future smart spaces. In the context of smart spaces, Internet technologies, proximity wireless connections (Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi Direct, LTE-Direct) and smart and
wearable objects (smart screens, smart glasses, smart watches, etc.) are being studied and used to create new ways of interacting and communicating between people, objects and physical spaces themselves. More specifically, through the EIT Digital
P3S Playful Supervised Smart Spaces project, a smart space has been developed for children with special therapeutic needs (e.g., suffering from autism) and tested at two specialized centers. Through the work carried out in the Joint Open
Labs, Telecom Italia is investing in the design and testing of robotic telepresence solutions, namely robots that can be remote controlled, thereby allowing a person to attend an event remotely and interact with those present.

Research and development in Brazil

TIM Brasil expects to invest 14 billion reais in 2016-2018, in line with the previous 2015-2017 plan.

In December 2015, the population covered by 4G technology reached 59%, a 23% increase over the previous year.

In addition, 4G coverage grew in terms of sites. Specifically, the number of sites covered with LTE more than doubled in 2015, reaching a total of
7,700, as compared to 3,700 at the end of 2014. At the same time, the number of 3G sites decreased by 24%, going from 9,600 in 2014 to 7,300 in 2015. By 2018, it is expected that approximately 20,000 sites will be reached, almost all covered by 4G
technology. The investment in infrastructure allowed the fiber optic network (both local and long distance) to be extended to 68,000 km.

At TIM
Brasil, Research and Development is carried out by the Innovation & Technology Department (I&TD), headed by the Chief Technology Officer. The I&TD employs 32 telecommunications, electrics and electronics engineers, IT
experts and other technicians of varying expertise, competence and experience, which cover all network competences, pursue the innovative needs of customers and provide research and development (R&D) support. The main responsibilities of this
department are the definition of the networks technological innovation, the evolutionary needs for new technologies and devices and the architectural guidelines, with the development of strategic partnerships, which allows for exploitation of
new business models and guarantees the evolution of network infrastructures according to business strategy.

In terms of infrastructure, one
important result was the constitution of the Innovation Lab, which consists of a multi-purpose test environment based in Rio de Janeiro that can guarantee the assessment/validation of innovative services, products and technologies, certifying their
functional efficiency and performance and developing new models and configurations. The Innovation Lab plays a strategic role in providing support for the conduct of Credibility Tests, Trials and Proofs of Concept for the validation of services in
collaboration with the main suppliers of technology and partners. The lab also enables the sharing of knowledge and the technological infrastructures for interoperability tests, the assessment of capacity and the definition of technical
requirements. In connection with the R&D department, it facilitates innovation and promotes collaborations with universities and research institutes.

In 2015, more than 200 projects of validation and innovation were completed. This number will increase in light of the extensive range of innovation and
R&D initiatives underway. The 2016-2018 technological plan contemplates investments in excess of 30 million reais in this project, which also includes construction of a new Innovation center in Guaratiba, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a
building with a surface area of 1,000 square meters able to hold more than 60 people. This new office, which will operate as a national reference point for research and development activities will host technicians and researchers and will be used as
an open space of innovation for new opportunities and the development of innovation for the Brazilian telecommunications market. The building will be constructed in compliance with LEED certification standards(7) (US Green Building Council) and its development will include the use of other sustainable solutions, such as the reuse of water, alternative energy sources and efficient cooling solutions.

In 2014, TIM was included in the FINEP (Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos) and BNDES (Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Economico e Social) Inova
Telecom program, which encourages R&D and innovation for the telecommunications market through the financing of significant projects. BNDES is the official finance organization and will support TIM in a great many important initiatives,
including the construction of the innovation Center in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Customer Experience Management (CEM) and the Network Analytics project.

Relevant issues

The Innovation & Technology department has worked on projects aiming to ensure the evolution of the business of TIM Brasil through the recommendation
of sustainable, efficient network platforms and disruptive models, including anticipating the availability of new services.

The
reassignment of the 1800 MHz spectrum from 2G to 4G is bringing about three important competitive advantages for TIM Brasil: 1) reduction of the costs for the deployment of LTE; 2) increased area of LTE coverage; and 3) improvement of indoor
coverage. In addition to the expansion of coverage, use of the 1,800 MHz bandwidth can supply an increase in capacity to cities already covered by the LTE bandwidth at 2.6 GHz, at only a small additional cost. Another important consideration in this
scenario is that 70% of current LTE terminals are already compatible with the bandwidths 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz, hence the implementation of LTE 1800 MHz is proving to be a great strategy thanks to the dissemination of devices.

On October 30, 2014, TIM acquired a national block (10 + 10 MHz) in the 700 MHz bandwidth. Its use, however, is subject to the cleaning of the spectrum
(at present, it is used for the transmission of analogue TV). To this end, in order to manage the switch-off, in Brazil the successful bidders on the auctions of the 700 MHz bandwidth have created a new entity, the EAD (Entidade Administradora fare
Processo de Redistribuição e Digitalização de Canais de TV e RTV), in order to manage the spectrum cleaning and avoid problems with interference. TIM plays a leading role in the group of operators, identifying
opportunities to support the switch-off of analogue TV.

In 2015, three credibility tests(13)
were carried out in the Innovation Lab on IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)(14), solutions hinged on functional tests, the analysis of the specifications and interoperability with legacy systems.

After the laboratory phase, a commercial field test is scheduled for the customer experience in relation to the IMS service, 2G/3G interoperability and to obtain detailed information on the
requirements needed to support the network evolution.

With respect to Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN),
various initiatives have been developed, such as the creation of TIM Brasil NFV Program, which comprises four work groups (according to logical domains and competences of the NFV) aimed at defining technical requirements, infrastructural
projects, virtualised network functions (VNF), timetable, open laboratory specifications and the reference architecture in compliance with the ETSI NFV standard. In this context, VAS Messaging Consolidation was the first VNF activated in the
commercial network. Preliminary studies are also underway on different approaches for SDN, in order to enable a full orchestration and the development of the cloud environment. The main drivers behind the adoption of these new network approaches are
the reduction of CapEx/OpEx, a quicker time-to-market, optimization and innovative actions.

Main projects

The expansion of the sharing of the 4G RAN(15), in collaboration with other mobile
operators in Brazil, aims to define the architectural requirements, the hypotheses and technical specifications for the LTE RAN Sharing solution, optimizing the network resources and costs. The costs of the infrastructures are mainly associated with
the introduction of the new radiating system and other electronic devices, passive site infrastructures and transport networks; in this way, the sharing of resources made possible by LTE RAN is a significant optimization of costs for the operators.
In this regard, TIM Brasil has been seeking out and considering RAN Sharing solutions since 2007. Another factor motivating this initiative was the coverage and timing linked to regulatory requirements (numerous cities to be covered in a short space
of time, with the 2.6 GHz spectrum requiring the implementation of a great many sites). The tests were initially conducted in a controlled environment (the Innovation Lab) and the solution was based on MOCN (Multiple Operator Core Network),
standardized by the 3GPP(16). A pilot project in the field was launched during a second stage to assess other technical problems. At present, this is the most important RAN sharing agreement to be
reached worldwide and enables 4G services to be supplied to the major cities of Brazil.

The RAN Sharing agreement allows TIM Brasil to facilitate
the evolution of distribution of the LTE in territories within Brazil, sharing access and backhaul(17) effectively and freeing up investments that could be allocated to other strategic business

Activation of energy saving options and solutions, which enables a reduction in energy consumption during low traffic periods, has been
successfully tested, and we intend to implement these options and solutions on a large scale in 2G and 3G access levels. Average reductions in energy consumption are expected to be around 3% in the sites involved.

The Virtual Weather Station Development partnership between TIM, CEMADENCentro Nacional de Monitoramento e Alertas de Desastres Naturaisand

of Milan issued an indictment against Mr. Piergiorgio Peluso, and 11 other individuals in connection with an investigation stemming from the bankruptcy of Imco S.p.A. (Imco) in 2012.

|Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees |  | External Auditors



6.4    EXTERNAL AUDITORS

The audit of Italian issuers and their groups is governed by legislative decrees on statutory audits of annual accounts and consolidated accounts. In
particular, such legislative decrees fix the duration of audit engagements at nine years and prohibit the renewal or the re-engagement unless at least three years have elapsed from the date of termination of previous assignment.

The Shareholders Meeting held on April 29, 2010 appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. as Telecom Italias independent auditors for the
nine-year period 2010-2018 beginning with the financial year ended December 31, 2010.

Italian audit principles require that, in case of
corporate groups, the audit firm of Telecom Italia should carry out the audit of the groups most important entities in terms of the nature of operations, in such a way that it can act as the main group audit firm and express a professional
evaluation on the financial statements in their entirety. In addition, the Guidelines for the Appointment of external Auditors (the Group Procedure), issued by Telecom Italia in March 2010 in view of the engagement of
PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. for the 2010-2018 period, provides that the auditor of Telecom Italia is the principal auditor of the entire group headed by Telecom Italia and consequently is the auditor to be preferred in the conferral of
appointments by subsidiaries for mandatory auditing.

available and, wherever possible, carrying out high-value activities internally. In discussions held on aspects of the Plan connected with employment, the parties explored a variety of possible solutions that would minimize any traumatic impact and
would be economically sustainable for Company employees. In this respect, an agreement was reached in September 2015 that established a set of steps for implementing the Plan while safeguarding jobs.

These steps include:



|· |  | solidarity contracts for a period of two years with a commitment to extend it for a further twelve months, in order to
allow redundancies to be minimized over the three-year period, particularly through early and voluntary retirement using the other legal tools identified;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | support for early retirement using the voluntary redundancy tool;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | recourse to article 4 of the Fornero law, which allows older workers to bring forward their retirement by immediately
receiving an amount equal to the pension accrued until that date (early retirement paid for by the Company). The Company will also continue to pay social security contributions until the actual retirement age is reached;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | professional retraining, in order to allow workers currently employed in areas where efficiency needs to be improved to
retrain in order to perform more valuable activities providing medium to long term stability of employment.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ultimate purpose
of the operation is to ensure stability of employment at Telecom Italia, protect jobs and improve competitiveness. The agreement also provides for the Company to pay the workers covered by solidarity contracts a one-time sum as a bonus at the end of
the solidarity suspension if overall implementation of the Plan has been positive and its objectives have been achieved.

In order to lessen the
financial hardship caused by the reduction in working hours under the solidarity contracts, which is only partly offset by the INPS (Italian National Institute of Social Security) contribution, the Company has decided to provide subsidized company
loans (equal to official ECB refinancing rate currently at 0.05%), for employees that specifically request them.

Particularly intensive discussions
continued with executive employee representatives, allowing socially sustainable instruments to be identified, in addition to the ones normally available in the Company, to assist with the necessary right-sizing. These instruments should be not
traumatic and should be able to reconcile staff turnover administration and management restructuring requirements.

In this respect, an important
agreement was signed with executive representatives that provides for the voluntary departure of a maximum 150 executives that fulfil certain legal requirements. As a result, executives will be able to benefit from the mutually agreed termination of
their employment contract if they fulfil the minimum requirements for retirement or early retirement within four years of termination, with the company paying out a benefit equal to the pension workers would be entitled to receive based on existing
rules and continuing to pay INPS the contribution until the minimum requirements for a pension are fulfilled.

In full compliance with current legal
provisions, Telecom Italia discussions with the relevant union representatives regarding two separate corporate transactions resulted in agreements between the parties involved.

In particular, the Tower department of Telecom Italia S.p.A. was transferred to Società Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. (Inwit). This
initiative fulfilled the objective of establishing an independent radio network infrastructure operator that can develop and enhance the towers business involving various types of electronic communication service operators and ICT players. As part
of the procedure, specific agreements were signed on maintaining the salary levels and contractual terms and conditions applicable to the employees affected by the transfer.

Discussions between the Company and the unions were similarly aimed at completing the procedure for the merger by incorporation of Telecom Italia Media
S.p.A. into Telecom Italia S.p.A. This operation was intended to simplify the Groups structure and to ensure a more efficient management of the process of enhancing Persidera S.p.A., also by seizing medium to long term opportunities.

7.1.3    CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ITALIAN STATE

The Italian Government is in a position to exert certain powers with respect to Telecom Italia through the exercise of special powers.

In 2012 Decree law 21/2012, setting out Regulations on special powers over corporate ownership in the defense and national security sectors, as
well as for activities of strategic relevance in the energy, transport and communications sectors was adopted and subsequently converted with amendments in law 56/2012.

The regulations for the identification of assets of strategic importance in the communications sector (Presidential Decree no. 85/2014) was published in
the Official Gazette of June 6, 2014 and identified the procedures to activate special powers (Presidential Decree no. 86/2014).

As a result the
Italian Government is now provided with:



|· |  | the authority to impose conditions and possibly to oppose the purchase, by non-EU entities, of controlling shareholdings
in the Company. For non-EU entities, any right to purchase will be permitted solely on condition of reciprocity with the purchasers home jurisdiction;

contain the strategic assets or their assignment by way of guarantee, amendment to companys bylaws purpose, company dissolution or amendment in bylaws provisions relating to limitations on voting rights. The resolutions or acts adopted in
violation of these requirements are void. The Government may also order the company and any other party at their own expense to restore the previous situation.

|Item 9. Listing |  | Securities Trading In Italy



9.2    SECURITIES TRADING IN ITALY

Italian equity securities are traded on the regulated electronic stock market Mercato Telematico Azionario or MTA (Telematico), which
operates under the control of the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (the National Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange or Consob), the public authority in charge of regulating the securities markets
and all public offerings of securities in Italy in order to ensure the transparency and regularity of trading and protect investors.

Telematico is
managed by Borsa Italiana, a joint stock company part of the London Stock Exchange Group, responsible for the organization and management of the Italian stock exchange.

Securities transactions on Telematico are settled on a cash basis. Cash transactions are settled on the second trading day following the trading date.
Borsa Italiana publishes information on transactions in each listed security, including the volume traded and the high and low prices of the day. No last price is reported, but an official price calculated as a weighted average price of
all trades performed during the trading day and a reference price as for the closing auction price. The Bank of Italy, in accordance with Consob, regulates the governing of the clearing system that is currently performed in Italy on an
exclusive basis by Monte Titoli (a centralized securities clearing system owned by certain major Italian banks and financial institutions).

For the
purposes of the automatic control of the regularity of trading on MTA, the following price variation limits shall apply to contracts concluded on shares making up the FTSE MIB, effective July 1, 2013: (i) ± 5.0% (or such other amount
established by Borsa Italiana in the Guide to the Parameters for trading on the regulated markets organized and managed by Borsa Italiana) with respect to the static price (the static price shall be the previous days reference
price, in the opening auction, or the auction price, in the continuous trading phase); and (ii) ± 3.5% (or such other amount established by Borsa Italiana in the Guide to the Parameters) with respect to the dynamic price (the
price of the last contract concluded during the continuous trading phase). Where the price of a contract that is being concluded exceeds one of the price variation limits referred to above, trading in that security will be automatically suspended
and a volatility auction phase begun for a certain period of time. Furthermore Borsa Italiana has the authority to suspend trading in any security in response to extreme price fluctuations or for other reasons. The most liquid shares traded on
Telematico, including the Telecom Italia ordinary shares, are traded on Mercato After Hours, an automated screen trading system managed by Borsa Italiana. Mercato After Hours operates, from 6.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m.

The FTSE MIB Index is the primary benchmark index for the Italian equity market. Capturing approximately 80% of the domestic market capitalization, the
FTSE MIB Index measures the performance of the 40 most liquid and capitalized Italian shares and seeks to replicate the broad sector weights of the Italian stock market. The index is derived from the universe of stocks trading on Borsa
Italianas Telematico market.

The index is calculated in accordance with the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) where
main sectors are: Oil & Gas, Constructions & Material, Industrials Goods and Services, Automobiles & Parts, Media, Telecommunications, Utilities, Banks, Technology, Insurance and Personal & Household Goods. Each
FTSE MIB constituent is weighted by its free float capital, considering the effective number of shares tradable in the market. Index Constituents weights are capped at 15%; they are reviewed and their weights are rebalanced quarterly (March, June,
September and December). The weighting structure can also be changed following extraordinary events (if the capital of a stock increases or other events).

All financial instruments publicly traded on regulated markets including treasury bonds are dematerialized. Companies that issue financial instruments
that are publicly traded on regulated markets must inform Monte Titoli, which opens an account in the name of each company in its register.

Beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares must hold their interests through specific deposit accounts with any participant having an
account with Monte Titoli. The beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares held with Monte Titoli may transfer their shares, collect dividends, create liens and exercise other rights with respect to those Ordinary Shares and Savings
Shares through such accounts and may no longer obtain physical delivery of share certificates in respect of their Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares. All new issues of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares and all other transactions involving Ordinary
Shares and Savings Shares must be settled electronically in book-entry form.

Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares are accepted for clearance through
Euroclear and Clearstream. Holders of shares may elect to hold such Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares through Euroclear or Clearstream (outside the United States).

Item 10.    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

10.1    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE



|v |  | GENERAL
|- |  | -------

The Companys corporate governance system is made up of a series of principles, rules and procedures drawn from applicable laws and regulations and
from international best practices. The system, designed and constructed bearing in mind the principles formulated by the Committee for Corporate Governance of Borsa Italiana, has been implemented with the adoption of codes, regulations and policies
covering the activity of all the organizational and operational components of the Company. Most of these documents are available in an English language version on the Internet at www.telecomitalia.com under Governance.

According to applicable Italian law, listed issuers shall annually disclose information on their compliance with codes of conduct issued by regulated
stock exchange companies (such as the aforementioned Corporate Governance Code by Borsa Italiana) or by trade associations.



|v |  | CHANGES IN THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
|- |  | -----------------------------------

No significant change in the regulatory environment took place in 2015.

In July 2015, minor changes were approved to the Borsa Italiana Corporate Governance Code, aimed at implementing Corporate Social Responsibility
principles, enhancing internal corporate safeguards to meet legal requirements and transparency, and incorporating some recommendations previously made by the Borsa Italiana Corporate Governance Committee.



|v |  | CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT
|- |  | --------------------------

The Code of Ethics and Conduct (the Code of Ethics) of the Telecom Italia Group specifies the principles to be
respected in relations with all the main stakeholders of the Company: shareholders, financial markets, customers, local communities and employees.

The Code of Ethics was drawn up on the basis of generally accepted ethical principles and in accordance with the highest international standards, taking
into account the principles of Section 406 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

As with all of the Companys corporate governance codes and
principles, the Code of Ethics is updated in order to conform it to the developments in the applicable law and market regulations, taking into account national and international best practices. The last update dates back to October 3, 2013.

For further details, please see Item 16B. Code of Ethics and Conduct.



|v |  | BOARD OF DIRECTORS
|- |  | ------------------

The Companys system of corporate governance is centered around the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Principles of Telecom Italia
supplement the applicable rules concerning the tasks and functioning of the Board of Directors and all the directors are required to comply with the Corporate Governance Principles.

Such Principles have been adopted by the Board of Directors as a self-regulatory measure only and can therefore be amended (or neglected in a single
instance) at any time with a resolution adopted by the Board and promptly disclosed to the market.

Since 2005, Telecom Italias directors have
carried out an annual Board performance evaluation.

Role and tasks

In accordance with the Italian Stock Exchange Code (by which Telecom Italia fully abides) the Board of Directors plays an active role both in the
strategic guidance of the Company and in the control of operations, with the power to formulate strategy and responsibility for intervening directly in decisions having the greatest impact on the activity of the Company and the Group. The Board of
Directors shall, in particular, have overall responsibility for the internal control and risk management system, including the definition of the nature and level of risk consistent with the specific strategic objectives of the business.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



Pursuant to the Companys Corporate Governance Principles, the following matters are deemed to
have a notable effect on the business of the Company and the Group, and as such are subject to resolutions of the board:



|· |  | agreements with competitors which, considering the subject, commitments, conditions, or limits that they may produce,
have long-term effects on the freedom of strategic business decisions;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | investments and disinvestments exceeding 250 million euros, and in any event purchases or sales of shareholdings, or
businesses or business units that are of strategic significance in the overall framework of the business; transactions that, in their execution or upon their completion, can result in commitments and/or purchases and/or sales of this nature and
scale;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the acceptance of loans for amounts exceeding 500 million euros and the granting of loans and guarantees in favor of
non-subsidiary companies for amounts exceeding 250 million euros; transactions that, in their execution or upon their completion, can create commitments and/or deeds of this nature and scale;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the above transactions, to be performed by unlisted subsidiaries of the Group, excluding those controlled by listed
subsidiaries;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the listing and delisting of financial instruments issued by the Company or Group companies in regulated markets inside
or outside Europe;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | instructions to be given to listed subsidiaries (and their subsidiaries), when the Parent Company exercises its
management and coordination activity for the performance of transactions with the characteristics indicated above.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since 2002,
the Company has adopted guidelines for carrying out transactions with related parties in order to ensure both procedural and substantial fairness and transparency.

On November 4, 2010 the Board of Directors introduced the set of procedures currently in force, as amended lastly on March 17, 2016. In addition to
related parties, as defined by Consob regulation No. 17221 of March 12, 2010 and IAS 24, this procedure must also be appliedfor self-regulatory principlesto participants in shareholders agreements that
regulate candidacy to the position of Director of Telecom Italia, in the case of a majority slate. The procedure classifies the transactions in different categories and, according to this classification, different assessment and approval procedures
are applied, if these transactions are to be carried out with related parties.

For information on the subject of related-party transactions, see
Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related-Party Transactions7.2 Related-Party Transactions.

In its function of monitoring and
guiding the performance of operations, the Board of Directors assesses the adequacy of the organizational, administrative and accounting structure of the Company on the basis of information made available by the management and, with specific
reference to the adequacy of the internal control system, in light of the results of the investigations made by the Control and Risk Committee.

The
internal control and risk management system is organized and operates according to the principles and criteria set out in the Italian Stock Exchange Code. It is an integral part of the general organizational structure of the Company and the Group,
and involves several components that act in a coordinated way according to their respective responsibilitiesthe responsibility of the Board of Directors to direct and provide strategic oversight, the responsibility of the Executive Directors
and management to monitor and manage, the responsibility of the Control and Risk Committee and the Head of the Audit Department to overview and provide support to the Board of Directors, and the supervisory responsibilities of the Board of Statutory
Auditors.

The Board of Directors, insofar as it is responsible for the internal control and risk management system, defines the guidelines of the
system and verifies its adequacy, effectiveness and proper functioning, so that the main corporate risks (including, among others, operational, compliance-related, economic and financial risks) are properly identified and managed over time.

The establishment and maintenance of the internal control system are assigned to the Executive Directors (currently, the Chairman Giuseppe Recchi and
the Chief Executive Officer Flavio Cattaneo), and to the Manager in

charge of preparing the Companys financial report for his area of responsibility (such position is held by the Head of Administration, Finance and Control, Piergiorgio Peluso), so as to
ensure the overall adequacy of the system and its functionality, in a risk-based perspective, which is also taken into account in determining the agenda for the Boards proceedings.

The Internal Audit Manager, the Group Compliance Officer and the IT & Security Compliance Department Manager report directly to the full Board; the
role of link between the Board of Directors and said control structures is presently assigned to non-executive Director Lucia Calvosa who is the Chairman of the Control and Risk Committee.

The assessment of the performance of operations is based on a continuous flow of information coordinated by the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
directed towards the non-executive directors and the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors. Assessments are made, notably, with a comparison of the results achieved with those budgeted during the examination of the financial reports.

Meetings

In 2015 the Board of
Directors has had 13 meetings.

As at April 8, 2016, 5 meetings have been held.

When board meetings are to be held, documentation permitting effective participation in the proceedings is provided well in advance, subject to
circumstances of the case (as a rule, the Friday preceding the day on which the meeting is to be held, which is normally a Thursday), to enable informed participation in the meetings. When required by the subjects discussed, representatives of the
Company management or external consultants are invited to take part, who ensure the necessary technical and professional support.

Appointment
of Directors

As noted above, Telecom Italias bylaws (Article 9) provide for the Board of Directors to be elected by the
Shareholders Meeting through a slate system, which is presently mandatory under Italian law.

The slate system is designed to ensure the
presence on the Board of Directors of persons drawn from slates presented by minority shareholders. Shareholders who together hold at least 0.5% of the ordinary share capital can put forward slates of candidates. The slates and the accompanying
documentation (such as the curricula vitae of the candidates) must be filed at the Companys registered office at least 25 days and made available to the public at least 21 days before the date scheduled for the shareholders meeting.
Consob requires the Company to make the slates and the relevant information available to the public at its registered office, at Borsa Italiana and on its website www.telecomitalia.com. According to Telecom Italias bylaws, slates of candidates
can be put forward also by the outgoing Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is elected as follows:



| | · |  | two thirds of the directors to be elected are chosen from the slate that obtains the simple majority of the votes cast
by the shareholders, in the order in which they are listed on the slate; in the event of a fractional number, it is rounded down to the nearest whole number;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the remaining directors are chosen from the remaining slates. To that end, the votes obtained by the various slates are
divided successively by whole numbers from one up to the number of directors to be appointed and the results (quotients) obtained are assigned to the candidates on each slate in the order specified thereon. On the basis of the quotients assigned,
the candidates on the various slates are arranged in a single decreasing ranking. Those who have obtained the highest quotients are elected.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At least half of the directors chosen from each slate (with rounding up) must be independent, as per applicable requirements. If necessary, the last
names elected from a slate that do not fulfil these requirements will be replaced, in order, by the first of those not elected from the same slate who fulfil said requirements. In the absence of a sufficient number of independent candidates in a
slate to be able to make the replacements, the Shareholders Meeting shall complete the board with the legal majorities, ensuring that the requirement is fulfilled.

|------------------------------- |  | --------------------
|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



All slates that present three or more candidates shall have a gender ratio of at least 1:3 among the
candidates. In case the vote on the slates does not fulfill the diversity requirement in the composition of the Board (1:3), the appointment of the last of the persons elected from the majority slate who are of the more represented gender will be
forfeited, and they will be replaced with the first unelected candidates of the less represented gender on the same slate, in the number needed to ensure the prescribed gender balance. In any case, should the slate mechanism fail, the
Shareholders Meeting retains the right to appoint directors by a subsequent vote, applying the legal majorities, so that the so-called gender diversity requirement may in any event be ensured in the composition of the Board.

With respect to the current composition of the Board, see above Item 6- Directors, Senior Management and Employees. See also: Risks
associated with Telecom Italias ownership chain under Item 3. Key Information3.1 Risk Factors.

Composition

According to the bylaws, the shareholders meeting decides the exact number of Board members within a minimum and a maximum number
(from 7 to 19). Directors may serve for a maximum term of three years, they may be re-elected and there is no statutory age limit for their eligibility. There are no provisions in Italian law that set age or shareholding requirements for
directors qualification. There are no provisions in the Telecom Italia bylaws relating to the retirement of a director under an age or tenure limit requirement.

If during the term of the Board of Directors one or more directors cease to hold such position for any reason, the Board of Directors is allowed to
appoint replacements by a resolution approved by the Board of Auditors. The directors so appointed will remain in office until the next Shareholders Meeting. As a rule, the replacements finally appointed by the Shareholders Meeting will
remain in office for the same term as the other members already in office at the time of their appointments; the Shareholders Meeting may establish a different term of office for them. In the event of replacement of an independent board
member, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for proposing a candidate.

Article 3 of the Companys Corporate Governance
Principles establishes a cap on the maximum number of positions that Telecom Italia directors may hold in management and control bodies of other companies. The general rule is that the position of Telecom Italia director is not compatible with
directorships or auditorships in more than five companies, other than Telecom Italia subsidiaries or affiliates, when such companies:



|· |  | are listed and included in the FTSE/MIB index; and/or
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------



|· |  | operate prevalently in the financial sector on a public basis; and/or
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | engage in banking or insurance.
|- |  | -------------------------------

The directorship in Telecom Italia is also considered not compatible with holding more than three executive positions in companies of the types
specified above. The Board of Directors may nonetheless permit exceptions to these rules, such exceptions to be made public. If a Director holds office in more than one company belonging to the same Group, only one office held within that Group is
taken into account, when calculating the number of offices.

Impact of Shareholders Agreements on the Nomination of Telecom Italia
Groups Companies Boards

Effective June 17, 2015, the shareholder agreement in place between the shareholders of Telco S.p.A. was
dissolved, as disclosed by public notices in accordance with the applicable regulations. As a result, there are no longer any shareholder agreements for Telecom Italia pursuant to Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998.

See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related-Party TransactionsItem 7.1.1. The Shareholders Agreements.

Independent Directors

At least two
members of the Board of Directors must satisfy the independence requirements set forth by the Consolidated Law on Finance for the members of the Board of Auditors (but see above the independence quota to

be met by candidates chosen from each single slate). Moreover, Article 3 of the Corporate Governance Principles incorporate by reference the independence criteria set out in the Borsa
Italianas Corporate Governance Code.

To qualify as independent under Borsa Italianas Corporate Governance Code and the Companys
Corporate Governance Principles, Telecom Italia directors should not maintain, nor have recently maintained, directly or indirectly any business relationships with the issuer or persons linked to the issuer (Group companies, executive directors or
members of their families), of such a significance as to influence their autonomous judgment, and should not be in a position to influence the Company as a consequence of the shares they hold or their participation in shareholders agreements.
Specific presumptions are listed in Borsa Italianas Corporate Governance Code.

The Board of Directors verifies the independence requirements
at the first meeting after the appointment of the Board and subsequently once a year. On the basis of the declarations made by the interested parties and verified by the Board of Directors, at present 9, out of the 16 directors are considered
independent, according to the criteria set forth by the Consolidated Law on Finance as well as the criteria set forth by Borsa Italiana Code: Lucia Calvosa, Davide Benello, Francesca Cornelli, Denise Kingsmill, Giorgina Gallo, Laura Cioli, Giorgio
Valerio, Luca Marzotto and Felicitè Herzog. In addition, Jean Paul Fitoussi qualifies as independent pursuant to the independence requirements set forth by the Consolidated Law on Finance for the members of the Board of Auditors. The Board of
Auditors verified the correct application of the principles adopted by the Board to evaluate the independence of directors. See Item 16G. Corporate Governance16.1. Differences in Telecom Italias Corporate Governance and New York
Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Practices.

Executive Directors and Activities of the Board

The authority to grant delegated powers to directors and revoke such mandates is reserved to the Board of Directors, which also establishes their
objects, limits, manner of exercise and the intervalsof not more than three monthsat which persons with delegated powers must report on their activity, the general results of operations, and the transactions of greatest economic,
financial or balance sheet significance concluded by the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Chief Executive Officer has been assigned responsibility
for the overall management of the Company and the Group (including responsibility for defining, proposing to the Board of Directors and then implementing and developing the strategic, industrial and financial plans) and all the organizational
responsibilities to ensure the management and development of business.

At present the Chairman, in addition to legal representation of the Company,
as provided for in the bylaws has a general role of guidance and overview in the development and implementation of the Company and Group strategy, industrial and financial plans, of the development guidelines, as well as supervision of the
definition of their organizational structures and economic and financial progress; he also represents the Company and the Group in its external relations with the Authorities, institutions and Investors.

There are no other Telecom Italia executive directors. As of April 8, 2016 Telecom Italias non-executive directors are: Lucia Calvosa, Davide
Benello, Francesca Cornelli, Denise Kingsmill, Giorgina Gallo, Laura Cioli, Giorgio Valerio, Luca Marzotto, Tarak Ben Ammar and Jean Paul Fitoussi.

On a voluntary basis, on February 6, 2014 the Board of Directors approved a Procedure for the management of any extraordinary transaction regarding
Telecom Italias holding in the TIM Brasil group companies (which is available on the Company website).

The document regulates the
investigation and decision-making process for any transaction that can result in the transfer to entities outside the Telecom Italia Group of all or part of its holdings in the TIM Brasil Group, or of assets of the related businesses or branches of
business exceeding 2 billion euros (including business combination transfers by conferment, merger or share swap). The procedure places at the center the Board of Directors of Telecom Italia, and within this the independent Directors: the relevant
transactions require the approval of the Board, subject to the opinion of a committee consisting of all the independent directors in office who have not declared an interest in the transaction. The independent Directors are called upon to express an
opinion on the

For more information concerning the remuneration of directors and top management see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees6.6
Compensation of Directors, Officers and Members of the Board of Auditors.

Internal Control System

The internal control system is a set of rules, procedures and organizational structures that, through a process of identifying, measuring, managing and
monitoring the main risks, allows the sound and fair operation of the company in line with the pre-established objectives. As such this process is aimed at pursuing the values of both procedural and substantial fairness, transparency and
accountability, which are considered key factors for managing Telecom Italias business, in compliance with the Code of Conduct and Ethics of the Group and the Companys Corporate Governance Principles. This process, constantly monitored
with a view to progressive improvement, is intended to ensure, in particular, the efficiency of company operations and entrepreneurial conduct, its transparency and verifiability, the reliability of information and management and accounting data,
and compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as the safeguarding of company integrity and its assets, in order to prevent fraud against the Company and the financial markets.

The Board of Directors, insofar as it is responsible for the internal control system, sets the guidelines, verifying its adequacy, effectiveness and
proper functioning, so that the main company risks (operational, compliance-related, economic and financial) are properly identified and managed over time.

In the exercise of its responsibility for the internal control system the Board benefits from the activities of the Control and Risk Committee, but also
of the Head of the Internal Audit Department, a manager who is given an adequate level of independence and means suitable to perform this duty. The Head of the Audit Department assesses the adequacy, full functioning and effectiveness of the control
and risk management system and consequently proposes corrective measures in case of anomalies and malfunctions.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



In particular, in accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code of Borsa Italiana,
the Head of the Audit Department:



|a) | verifies, both on a continuous basis and in relation to special needs, in conformity with international standards, the
adequacy and effective functioning of the internal control and risk management system, through an audit plan approved by the Board of Directors, based on a structured analysis and ranking of the main risks;
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|b) | is not responsible for any operational area and reports directly to the Board of Directors;
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|c) | has direct access to all information useful for the performance of his or her duties;
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|d) | drafts periodic reports containing information on his or her own activity, and on the risk management process, as well
as about compliance with the plans defined to mitigate these risks. Such periodic reports contain an evaluation of the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system;
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|e) | prepares timely reports on particularly significant events;
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------



|f) | submits the reports referred to in points d) and e) to the Chairs of the Board of Statutory Auditors, Control and Risk
Committee and Board of Directors;
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|g) | tests the reliability of the information systems, including the accounting system, as part of the audit plan; and
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|h) | reports on his or her work to the Director delegated for this purpose, the Control and risk Committee and, through the
latter, to the Board of Directors, as well as the Board of Statutory Auditors. In particular, he or she reports on how risk is managed, as well as on compliance with established plans for risk containment, and expresses his or her assessment on the
suitability of the internal control system for achieving an acceptable overall risk profile.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Head of the Audit Department
also has a role in ensuring respect of the principles and values expressed in the Code of Ethics and Conduct, by handling reports from employees, collaborators, consultants, employers and third parties in business relationships with the Group on
violations of laws or regulations, of the Code itself, and of internal procedures, as well as irregularities or negligence (including accounting), and promoting the most appropriate resulting initiatives, including the proposal to impose sanctions.

The oversight role of the Head of Internal Audit is directed towards expressing an assessment in terms of reasonable certainty about the capacity
of the internal control system to impact on the actual achievement of the objectives assigned to individual company structures (effectiveness profile), taking account of the rational use of resources for their realization (efficiency profile) in the
light of the (qualitative/quantitative) risk factors present and the probability of their affecting the achievement of those objectives.

To ensure
a comprehensive approach to risk management, the Telecom Italia Group has implemented an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process to identify, assess and manage risks. Starting from 2014 this activity is governed by the ERM Steering Committee which
is chaired and coordinated by the Head of the Administration, Finance and Control department. The Steering Committee meets at three-monthly intervals (or in response to specific needs), and has the object of ensuring governance of the process of
managing the Groups risks, aimed at ensuring the operational continuity of the companys business by monitoring the efficacy of the counter-measures adopted.

On the basis of such a process the Board of Directors defines the nature and level of risk (Risk Appetite) consistent with the strategic objectives of
the Group within the framework of the industrial plan. The ERM model adopted makes it possible to identify and manage risks in a homogeneous way within the Group companies, emphasizing potential synergies between the players involved in the
assessment of the internal control and risk management system. The ERM process is designed to identify potential events that may impact on business activity, to manage the risk within acceptable limits and to provide reasonable assurance of the
achievement of the corporate objectives.

The Companys internal control system is completed by the so-called 231 Organizational Model, which
provides a model of organization and management adopted pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, and is

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



aimed at preventing offences that can result in liability for the Company. The Organizational Model also constitutes an integral component of the reference compliance program for the application
of anti-corruption legislation such asfor examplethe FCPA and the UK Bribery Act. In this context, a foreign version of the Organizational Model has been defined for adoption by the non-Italian subsidiaries, also taking account of the
possible application of similar regulations at local level.

Monitoring of the functioning and compliance with the model as from May 2012 is
performed by the Board of Statutory Auditors (supported in its activities by appropriate offices within the Company) which oversees the operation and observance of the Organizational Model and reports to the Board of Directors the checks it has
undertaken and their outcome.

The 231 Organizational Model is subject to continuing improvement. Some revisions are made necessary by changes in
the law, while others are proposed when deemed appropriate in the light of the results of the models application. The amendments are drafted by a managerial committee called Steering Committee 231, briefed by the Board of Statutory Auditors
acting as Supervisory Panel and approved by the Board of Directors when of a significant nature.

Board of Auditors

Tasks and role

The Board of Auditors
verifies compliance with the law and the Bylaws and verifies adherence to the best administration principles, the adequacy and reliability of corporate structures, internal audit procedures and accounting system, and the adequacy of instructions
given by the Company to its subsidiaries. The Board of Auditors must receive timely disclosures, at least on a quarterly basis, from the Board of Directors about the companys business and significant transactions performed by the company and
its subsidiaries, including related parties transactions. Statutory Auditors must inform Consob of any irregularity they detect in the course of their duties and are required to attend Shareholders Meetings, Board of Directors meetings and
Executive Committee meetings.

In addition to that, under the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/2001, Supervisory Panel functions have been
granted to the Board of Auditors.

During 2015, there were 42 meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors (14 of which were held jointly with the
Control and Risk Committee). In addition, its members participated in the meetings of the Board of Directors and periodically received the reports from the executive directors, as provided in the above mentioned procedure.

Appointment

Telecom Italias
Board of Auditors is composed of five regular auditors, and four alternate auditors. The Board of Auditors is appointed by the Shareholders Meeting through the slate system under the same procedure used for the election of the Board of
Directors. Three regular auditors and two alternate auditor are drawn from the so called majority slate (that is the slate that obtained the simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders), two regular auditors and two alternate
auditors are taken from the other slates, so called minority slates.

All slates that present three or more candidates shall have a
gender ratio of at least 1:3 among the candidates. In case the vote on the slates does not fulfill the diversity requirement in the composition of the Board, the appointment of the last of the persons elected from the majority slate who are of the
more represented gender will be forfeited, and they will be replaced with the first unelected candidates of the less represented gender on the same slate, in the number needed to ensure the prescribed gender balance. In any case, should the slate
mechanism fail, the Shareholders Meeting retains the right to appoint auditors by a subsequent vote, applying the legal majorities, so that the so-called gender diversity requirement may in any event be ensured in the composition of the Board.

Pursuant to applicable Italian law, the Chairman of the Board of Auditors is appointed by the shareholders meeting from among the auditors
elected from a minority slate.

Auditors serve for a three-year term, may be reappointed and may be removed from their office for just
cause and upon a resolution approved by the competent court.

Audit Committee

As described above, the Board of Auditors plays a key role in the Companys system of corporate governance.

More specifically, according to Rule 10A-3 under the 1934 Act and NYSE listing standards, the Board of Auditors has been identified to act as Telecom
Italias Audit Committee. The Board of Auditors meets the requirements of the general exemption contained in Rule 10A-3(c)(3):



| | · |  | the Board of Auditors is established pursuant to applicable Italian law and Telecom Italias Bylaws;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | under Italian legal requirements, the Board of Auditors is separate from the Board of Directors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the Board of Auditors is not elected by the management of the Company and no executive officer is a member of the Board
of Auditors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | all of the members of the Board of Auditors meet specific independence requirements from the Company and its Group, the
management and the auditing firm, as set forth by Italian legal provisions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the Board of Auditors, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by Italian law, is responsible for the
appointment, retention (via proposal to the shareholders meeting) and oversight of the work of the Companys external auditors engaged for the purpose of issuing the audit report on the annual financial statements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the Board of Auditors is authorized to engage independent counsel and other advisers, as it deems appropriate; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the Board of Auditors has adopted a complaints procedure in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the 1934 Act.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In view of its responsibilities under Italian law and the obligations deriving from US law, the Board of Auditors adopted a
complaints procedure for receiving, retaining and treating the reports it receives. Such reports can be of the following kinds:



| | · |  | statements of violations submitted by shareholders concerning matters deemed to be improper;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | complaints by any person, thus including non-shareholders, concerning alleged irregularities, improper facts or, more
generally, any problem or issue deemed to merit investigation by the control body;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | complaints specifically regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | confidential, possibly anonymous submissions of concerns by employees of the Company or the Group regarding
questionable accounting or auditing matters.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A short description of how such reports are to be submitted to the Board of
Auditors/Audit Committee is available on the Companys website under Governance.

Shareholders Meetings

Meetings of Ordinary Shareholders

Holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to attend and vote at ordinary and extraordinary shareholders meetings. At any Shareholders Meeting,
each holder is entitled to cast one vote for each Ordinary Share held. Votes may be cast personally or by proxy. According to the bylaws, the issuer may designate, for each Shareholders Meeting, one or more representatives on whom those
entitled to vote may confer a proxy free of charge. The person so designated, and the necessary operating instructions, shall be stated in the notice calling the meeting. Holders of Ordinary Shares can also vote by mail or through a proprietary, web
based platform, if so specified in the notice of the specific meeting and in the ways specified therein.

Shareholders Meetings are called by
the Companys Board of Directors when required by law or the shareholders or deemed necessary.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



Shareholders Meetings must be convened at least once a year. At these ordinary meetings, holders
of Ordinary Shares (i) approve the annual accounts, (ii) appoint/revoke directors and auditors and determine their remuneration, when necessary, (iii) vote on other issues defined in the Bylaws, if any, (iv) authorize the completion of the
transactions by the directors, if and when the Bylaws call for such previous authorization, it being understood that directors remain directly responsible for the transactions accomplished, and (v) adopt rules of procedure for the
shareholders meetings (Meeting Regulations).

It is compulsory for issuers to publish their annual report within 120 days of the close of
their fiscal year; if the bylaws so provide (and this is the case in Telecom Italia), the approval by the annual general meeting can follow, but in any event the annual general meeting must take place no later than 180 days after the end of the
fiscal year.

Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings may be called to pass upon proposed amendments to the Bylaws, capital increases, mergers,
dissolutions, issuance of convertible debentures (which can also be delegated to the Board of Directors), appointment of receivers and similar extraordinary actions.

As a rule shareholders are informed of all Shareholders Meetings to be held by publication of a notice at least 30 days (40 days in case of
Shareholders Meetings convened to appoint corporate bodies) before the date fixed for the meeting. The notice must be published (either in full or in extract form) in at least one national daily newspaper, posted in the issuers internet
site and filed with the Italian Stock Exchange and Consob. Telecom Italias bylaws allow the Shareholders Meeting to be called either in a single call or with up to two meeting dates for an ordinary Shareholders Meeting and up to
three meeting dates for an extraordinary Shareholders Meeting. When the meeting is convened in a single call, the quorums of second calls of ordinary Shareholders Meeting and second calls of extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, as
the case may be, apply.

An ordinary Shareholders Meeting is duly constituted on first call with the attendance of at least 50% of the
outstanding Ordinary Shares, while on second call there is no quorum requirement. In either case, resolutions are approved by holders of the majority of the Ordinary Shares represented at the meeting.

Extraordinary Shareholders Meetings are duly constituted with the attendance of shareholders representing at least one-half or more than one-third
or at least one-fifth of the companys ordinary share capital, on the first call, second call and third call, respectively. The favorable vote of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares represented at the meeting is necessary for the
resolution approval.

To attend and vote at any Shareholders Meeting, holding of shares on the record date (statutorily set at seven trading
days before the meeting) is the sole requirement, but to certify that an ad hoc communication by the authorized intermediary must have been received by the Company.

Special arrangements with the Depositary may be required for the beneficial owner of ADRs representing ADSs to attend Shareholders Meetings and
exercise voting rights with respect to underlying Ordinary Shares. See 10.5 Description of American Depositary ReceiptsVoting of Deposited Securities.

Votes cast in the Shareholders Meeting are open, as the minutes of the meeting are required to evidence how attending shareholders voted.

Shareholders may attend the meeting by proxy using a power of attorney. There is no limit to the number of shareholders any one proxy can represent. A
proxy may be appointed only for one single meeting (including, however, the first, second andin case of extraordinary meetingsthird call) and may be substituted by the person expressly indicated in the form or, if the proxy is so
authorized, by the substitute the proxy appoints.

Votes by proxy may be solicited and collected for the shareholders meetings of listed
companies. Proxy solicitation provisions allow individuals (and even the issuer), to promote the soliciting of votes by proxy at shareholders meetings. There is no ownership requirement to this end. Proxy solicitation is subject to specific
rules and disclosure requirements set forth by Consob.

In addition to that, shareholders associations composed of at least 50 people, each with no
more than 0.1% voting share capital, may collect proxies among their group, without any specific disclosure requirement. In order to

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Corporate Governance



facilitate such operation among employee shareholders, the Bylaws provides that special measures will be made available to such shareholders associations in order to facilitate dissemination of
information about solicitation and proxy collection operations.

Ordinary Shareholders may also vote by mail. The vote by mail cannot be
cast by proxy. The system is essentially based on the following principles: (a) the notice calling the shareholders meetings must specify that shareholders can vote by mail and must describe the procedures they have to follow;
(b) shareholders wishing to vote by mail (to be duly entitled to vote through timely communication to the issuer, as described above) must send the company a special form (so called ballot) made available for such purpose by the issuer, which
has to comply with specific Consob requirements; (c) votes cast by mail must be delivered to the company at least on the day before the Shareholders Meeting takes place; and, finally, (d) votes cast by mail remain valid for the
second and third calls of the meeting and can be revoked by a written declaration until the day before the meeting, or directly in the meeting through an ad-hoc statement by the interested party.

The Companys bylaws provide that, if the notice of the meeting specifies it and in the ways described therein, Ordinary Shareholders may also vote
electronically, in advance of the meeting.

The shareholders meetings shall be called when requested by shareholders representing at least 5%
of a companys share capital. In case the directors or in their place the statutory auditors dont call the Shareholders Meeting, the Court orders with a decree the call of the Shareholders Meeting, after having heard the directors and
statutory auditors, if the refusal is unjustified. Shareholders are not allowed to present requests on topics upon which the Shareholders Meeting resolves, pursuant to Italian law, on directors proposal or on a project basis only.

Shareholders representing at least 2.5% of the share capital may request, within ten days of the publication of the notice convening the meeting,
additions to the agenda of the shareholders meeting or presentation to the shareholders meeting of alternative proposals for resolution on items already on the agenda. Added items and alternative proposed resolutions on items already on the agenda,
have to be disclosed in the same ways as the notice calling the meeting, at least fifteen days prior to the date scheduled for the shareholders meeting. Additions to the agenda and/or alternative proposed resolutions cannot be submitted for
matters on which the shareholders meeting is required by law to resolve on proposals put forward by the directors or on the basis of a plan or report by the Board of Directors.

The Shareholders Meeting on May 6, 2004 adopted a set of Rules of Proceeding, which apply to both Ordinary and Extraordinary meetings, which
were amended by the shareholders Meeting of April 12, 2011. The current version of the Rules is posted on the Companys website under Governance.

Meetings of Savings Shareholders

Although holders of Savings Shares are not entitled to vote in meetings of holders of Ordinary Shares, they are entitled to attend special meetings of
holders of Savings Shares (Special Meetings) and to appoint a joint representative (the Joint Representative) to represent them, with respect to the Company.

The Joint Representative, who is appointed by the Special Meeting or, in default, by the Court, is entitled (i) to inspect certain corporate books
of the Company, (ii) to attend the Shareholders Meetings and (iii) to challenge in court the resolutions adopted by such meetings. The Joint Representative is appointed for a maximum three-year term and, according to the Bylaws, is
kept informed by the Company regarding corporate events that can affect the price trend of Savings Shares. The Savings Shareholders Meeting held on May 22, 2013 appointed Mr. Dario Trevisan as joint Representative for a three year period
which will expire with the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting to be convened for approval of the Companys financial statements for the year 2015.

Special Meetings of Savings Shareholders may be called when deemed necessary or upon request by Savings Shareholders representing at least 1% of the
outstanding Savings Shares either by the Joint Representative or by the Companys Board of Directors in order to (a) appoint and revoke the Joint Representative, (b) approve the resolutions of the Shareholders Meetings that may
affect the rights of Savings Shares, (c) set up an expense fund for the coverage of costs incurred in protecting rights of the Savings Shareholders, (d) negotiate possible disputes with the Company; and (e) resolve other issues
relating to their position as holders of Savings Shares. To adopt resolutions related to (a), (c) and (e) above, a favorable vote of at least 20% of the Savings Shares is required at Special Meetings held on the first call, a favorable
vote of at least 10% is required at Special Meetings held on the

(d) above, a favorable vote of at least 20% of the Savings Shares is required at all calls of the Special Meetings.

To attend a vote at any
Special Meeting, holding of Savings Shares on the record date (statutorily set at seven trading days before the meeting) is the sole requirement, but to certify that, an ad hoc communication by an authorized intermediary must have been received by
the Company. Special arrangements with the Depositary may be required for the beneficial owner of ADRs representing Savings Share ADSs to attend Special Meetings and exercise voting rights with respect to underlying Savings Shares. See
10.5 Description of American Depositary ReceiptsVoting of Deposited Securities.

Disclosure

Transparent relations with the financial markets, and the provision of accurate information are paramount for the Telecom Italia Group.

A specific procedure (posted on the Companys website under Governance) covers the handlingincluding the public
disclosureof inside information concerning Telecom Italia, its unlisted subsidiaries and listed financial instruments, and is addressed to all the members of the governing bodies, employees and outside consultants of Group companies who have
potential access to inside information. It also applies as an instruction to all subsidiaries for the purpose of promptly obtaining the necessary information for timely and correct compliance with public disclosure requirements.

With reference to the preparation of the financial statements for 2015, the procedures for the Preparation of the Telecom Italia 2015 annual report for
Italian purposes and Telecom Italia 2015 Form 20-F provide for specific mechanisms of upward attestation by the people in charge of the various corporate structures involved in the process of gathering and handling data and drafting the document.
This is aimed at giving adequate assurance and support to the senior officers, the Board of Auditors, the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors as a whole in fulfilling their responsibility for oversight of the accuracy and
timeliness of required disclosures.

Non-residents may invest in Italian securities and may export cash, instruments of credit and securities, in both foreign currency and euro, representing interest, dividends, other asset distributions and the proceeds of dispositions without
restriction other than those outlined below. There are no limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign beneficial owners to vote their Shares except as provided for all Telecom Italia shareholders by law. See 10.4 Description of
Capital StockLimitations on Voting and Shareholdings.

Reporting and record-keeping requirements are contained in Italian legislation
which implements an EU Directive regarding the free movement of capital. Such legislation requires that transfers of cash or bearer bank or postal passbooks or bearer instruments in euro or in foreign currency, effected for whatsoever reason between
different parties, shall be carried out by means of credit institutions and any other authorized intermediaries when the total amount of the value to be transferred is equal to or more than 1,000.00 euros. However, with respect to some types of cash
payment, the threshold has been raised to 3,000.00 euros by the Budget Law for 2016 (Law n. 208 of December 28, 2015). The threshold referred to above also applies when there is reason to believe that several transactions, effected at different
times within a certain period of time, constitute part of a single transaction, even if individually below the threshold amount specified. Whenever the execution of such transactions leads to belief that there are irregularities in their
performance, such transactions shall be reported in writing to the Italian Central Bank which shall carry out necessary checks. Credit institutions and other intermediaries effecting such transactions on behalf of residents or non-residents of Italy
are required to maintain records of such transactions for ten years, which may be inspected at any time by Italian authorities. Non-compliance with the above may result, among others, in administrative fines or, criminal penalties if the
transactions fall within a case ruled by the criminal code. Certain additional procedural requirements are imposed for tax reasons. Non-corporate residents (i.e., individuals, non-commercial partnerships and non-commercial entities) which are
resident of Italy for tax purposes and which in the course of the fiscal year hold (or are beneficial owners, as defined for anti-money laundering purposes, of) investments abroad or have financial activities abroad must, in certain circumstances,
disclose such investments or financial activities regardless of the value of such assets (in contrast, for assets held up to December 31, 2012, the disclosure must be done only if such financial assets held abroad at the end of the fiscal year
exceeded 10,000.00 euros). Particularly, non-corporate residents must report on their tax returns the level of the investments or financial activities held abroad during the tax period, regardless of the total value of the same. This requirement
applies even if the taxpayer during the tax period has totally divested such assets. Moreover, compared with the past years, non-corporate residents are no longer (starting from the tax returns to be filed for fiscal year 2013), required to provide
details in their income tax returns about transfers to, from, within and between foreign countries in connection with such assets during the fiscal year. No disclosure requirements exist for investments and financial activities under management or
administration entrusted to Italian resident intermediaries and for contracts concluded through their intervention, provided that the cash flows and the income derived from such activities and contracts have been subject to Italian withholding or
substitute tax by intermediaries themselves. No tax return is required in respect of foreign investments and foreign income-earning assets that are exempt from income tax or subject to withholding tax in Italy. Such disclosure requirements do not
apply in respect of foreign investments, foreign assets or transfers within the EU. For corporate residents there is no requirement for such a declaration because their financial statements (on the basis of which their tax returns are prepared)
already contain the information.

There can be no assurance that the present regulatory environment in or outside Italy will endure or that
particular policies presently in effect will be maintained, although Italy is required to maintain certain regulations and policies by virtue of its membership in the EU and other international organizations and its adherence to various bilateral
and multilateral international agreements.

|· |  | to fix the shareholding required in order to submit a slate at 0.5% of the voting capital;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | to reduce the number of directors to be chosen from the slate that obtains the majority of the votes cast by the
shareholders from four fifths to two thirds of the overall composition of the Board;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | to require the majority of the candidates of (and the directors be chosen from) each slate to be independent, according
to the law and/or Borsa Italiana Code; and
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | to prohibit Telefonica from exercising any political rights in Telecom Italia and its subsidiaries, so long
as it directly or indirectly owns Telecom Italia shares (such amendment having been required by Telco, at request of Telefonica itself).

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Description of Capital Stock



10.4    DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

As of April 8, 2016, the subscribed and fully paid-up capital stock was equal to euros 10,740,236,908.50 divided into 13,499,911,771 Ordinary Shares
and 6,027,791,699 Savings Shares, all without par value.

The Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of December 20, 2013, resolved to
increase the share capital for cash, in tranches, with disapplication of the preferential subscription right pursuant to art. 2441, subsection 5 of the Italian Civil Code, for a total maximum amount, including any share premium, of 1.3 billion euros
(in addition to the value of the interest on the Bonds issued by the subsidiary company Telecom Italia Finance S.A, cited herein, which may also be settled in shares for a maximum sum of 79,625,000 euros, as of December 31, 2015), to be carried out
in one or more tranches by the issue of ordinary shares of the Company with regular dividend entitlement solely to enable the conversion of the bond issue called Guaranteed Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due 2016 convertible into
ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A. issued by the subsidiary company Telecom Italia Finance S.A., in compliance with the criteria determined by the related Regulations, it being understood that, should the capital increase referred to above not
be fully subscribed on November 15, 2016, the share capital will be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the subscriptions received.

For five years starting from April 16, 2014 the Directors may increase, for cash, the share capital to service the 2014-2016 Stock Option
Plan, as approved by the Companys Shareholders Meeting of that date, in one or more tranches, for a maximum amount of 107,800,000 euros, by the issue of a maximum of 196,000,000 new ordinary shares without par value, with
regular dividend entitlement, with disapplication of preferential subscription rights pursuant to art. 2441, subsection 8 andas requiredsubsection 5, of the Italian Civil Code, reserved for part of the management of Telecom Italia S.p.A.
and its subsidiaries, identified in due time by the Companys Board of Directors. Upon exercising said mandate the Board of Directors shall set the issue price of the shares (including any premium) in accordance with the 2014-2016 Stock
Option Plan, and it shall also set suitable time limits for subscription of the newly issued shares, specifying that, if the increase resolved is not fully subscribed within that time limit, the capital will be increased by an amount equal to
the subscriptions received up to such time.

The Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of May 20, 2015 resolved to increase the share capital for
cash for payment, in tranches, with exclusion of the preferential subscription right pursuant to art. 2441, subsection 5 of the Italian Civil Code, for a total maximum amount, including any share premium, of 2,000,000,000 euros (two billion), to
service the conversion of the 2,000,000,000 1.125 per cent. Equity-Linked bonds due 2022, to be paid up in one or more tranches
by the issue of ordinary shares of the Company with regular dividend entitlement, for a maximum amount of 2,000,000,000 euros (two billion), exclusively for the service of the aforementioned bonds issued by the Company, in accordance with the
criteria determined by the related Regulations, without prejudice to the fact that the final terms for subscription of the newly issued shares are established as March 26, 2022 and that if, as of that date, the share capital increase has not been
fully subscribed it will in any case be intended as increased by an amount equal to the subscriptions collected and as of that date, with the specific authorisation of the directors to issue the new shares as they are subscribed. No parts of shares
will be issued or delivered and no cash payment or adjustment will be made in lieu of said parts.

In 2015, the share capital increased:



|· |  | on April 20, 2015, as a result of the issue of 178,448 ordinary shares in implementation of the final stage of the
Long Term Incentive Plan 2010-2015 through the free assignment of bonus shares due to the beneficiaries of the Plan;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | on August 4, 2015 with the issue of 17,007,927 ordinary shares following the bonus share capital increase to service the
2014 Employee Share Ownership Plan and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | on September 30, 2015 through the issue of 11,769,945 ordinary shares and 1,671,038 savings shares following
the merger by incorporation of Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. into Telecom Italia S.p.A.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Classes of shares

According to Italian law, Savings Shares may not be issued for an amount which, including other preferred shares, if any, exceeds one-half of the
Companys share capital.

|------------------------------- |  | ----------------------------
|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Description of Capital Stock



Pursuant to Telecom Italias Bylaws any reduction in share capital made for the purpose of
absorbing losses is applied to the fraction of capital represented by the Ordinary Shares until they have been reduced to zero and only then is the fraction of capital represented by the Savings Shares reduced. If, as a consequence of capital
reduction, the Savings Shares exceed half of the Companys share capital, such excess must be eliminated within the following two years.

Form and Transfer

The
Dematerialization Decree provides for the dematerialization of financial instruments publicly traded on regulated markets, including shares.

As a
result, Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares must be held with Monte Titoli. Most Italian banks, brokers and securities dealers have securities accounts as participants with Monte Titoli, and beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares may
hold their interests through special deposit accounts with any such participant. The beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares held with Monte Titoli may transfer their Ordinary Shares, collect dividends and exercise other rights with
respect to those shares through such accounts. Such shares held by Monte Titoli are transferred between beneficial owners by appropriate instructions being given to the relevant participants associated with Monte Titoli to debit the account with the
bank of the vendor and to credit the account with the bank of the purchaser.

Voting rights relating to Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares that have
not been deposited with Monte Titoli may be exercised only by depositing them with an authorized intermediary. The Company may act as an intermediary for its own shares.

Each person owning a beneficial interest in Ordinary Shares and Savings Shares held through Euroclear or Clearstream must rely on the procedures of
Euroclear or Clearstream, respectively, and of institutions that have accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream to exercise any rights of a holder of shares. Holders may request Euroclear or Clearstream to transfer their Ordinary Shares and Savings
Shares to an account of such holder with a participant of Monte Titoli, in which case such holders may transfer their shares, collect dividends and exercise other shareholder rights through that participant. Any such transfer through that
participant is not subject to Italian transfer tax if non-Italian parties are involved. See 10.6 Taxation.

Dividend Rights

Holders of Savings Shares are entitled each year to a distribution with respect to such years net income in the amount up to 5% of
0.55 euros per share (so called privilege). If with respect to any year a lesser amount is paid, the entitlement to payment of the shortfall is carried over for two successive years. In the event that dividends are paid to holders of Ordinary
Shares, holders of Savings Shares have a preferential right to receive a dividend per share that is higher by 2% of 0.55 euros per share than the dividend per Ordinary Share (so called enhancement).

In case the net income is insufficient, the Annual Ordinary Shareholders meeting is allowed to satisfy both the aforementioned preferential rights
(privilege and enhancement) by distributing reserves, when available.

Subscription Rights

New Ordinary Shares and/or Savings Shares may be issued pursuant to a resolution of holders of Ordinary Shares at any extraordinary Shareholders
Meeting.

Pursuant to Italian law, shareholders (including holders of Savings Shares) are entitled to subscribe for new issues of Ordinary Shares
and/or Savings Shares, debentures convertible into Ordinary Shares and/or Savings Shares and rights to subscribe for Ordinary Shares and/or Savings Shares in proportion to their respective shareholdings.

Nevertheless, subject to certain conditions principally designed to prevent dilution of the rights of shareholders, subscription rights may be waived or
limited by resolutions taken by the extraordinary Shareholders Meeting. On the other hand, according to the Bylaws the subscription rights can be excluded by the extraordinary

Shareholders Meeting in the amount of 10% of the pre-existent share capital with no special quorum or disclosure requirement, on condition that the subscription price is equal to the shares
market price and this is confirmed in the proper independent auditors report.

Shareholders can adopt a resolution, at an extraordinary
Shareholders Meeting, to convert available reserves into additional share capital. In such case, either the fraction of capital represented by all outstanding shares is identically raised or the shares resulting from the increase in share
capital are allocated to the shareholders in proportion to their ownership before the increase without further contribution or payment from the shareholder.

Liquidation Rights

Subject to the
satisfaction of all other creditors, holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to a distribution in liquidation.

Holders of Savings Shares and
preferred shares, if any, are entitled to a preferred right to distribution from liquidation up to 0.55 euros per share. No liquidation dividend is payable to the holders of other classes of shares until such preferential right has been satisfied in
full. Thereafter, in case of surplus assets, holders of all classes of shares rank equally in the distribution of such surplus assets. Shares rank pari passu among themselves in a liquidation.

Purchase of Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares by the Company

The Company may purchase its own Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares subject to certain conditions and limitations. Such purchases must be authorized by a
Shareholders Meeting and made only out of retained earnings or distributable reserves as shown on the most recent financial statements approved by the Shareholders Meeting. The fraction of capital represented by the Ordinary Shares or
Savings Shares purchased by the Company, including the Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares, if any, held by the Companys subsidiaries, may not exceed 10% of the Companys share capital. The Company may purchase its own Ordinary Shares or
Savings Shares:



|· |  | by means of a tender offer;
|- |  | ---------------------------



|· |  | on regulated markets in accordance with trading methods laid down in the market rules, that do not permit the direct
matching of buy orders with predetermined sell orders;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | by means of the purchase and sale of derivative instruments traded on regulated markets that provide for the delivery of
the underlying shares, provided the market rules lay down methods for the purchase and sale of such instruments that (i) do not permit the direct matching of buy orders with predetermined sell orders and (ii) ensure the easy participation of
investors in the trading of such derivative instruments used for buybacks;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | by granting shareholders, in relation to the shares they hold, a put option to be exercised within a period established
by the shareholders meeting authorizing the share purchase program.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before entering into transactions aimed at the purchase
of its own shares other than by means of a tender offer (which in Italy is governed by specific disclosure requirements), the Company must disclose to the public all the details of the share purchase program.

Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares purchased and held by the Company or one of its subsidiaries may be disposed of only pursuant to a resolution of the
Companys or, if applicable, its subsidiarys shareholders meeting.

As a rule, neither the Company nor any company under its
control may vote or subscribe for new Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares of the Company, but the shareholders meeting may authorize the exercise of subscription rights. If no such authorization is granted, the subscription rights accrue to the
other holders so long as such Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares are held by the Company or a company under its control. The Ordinary Shares or the Savings Shares, as long as they are owned by the Company, are not entitled to receive dividends.

As of April 8, 2016, Telecom Italia owns 37,672,014 of its own Ordinary Shares, while the subsidiary Telecom Italia Finance S.A. holds another
126,082,374 Ordinary Shares, for a total of 1.21% of capital with voting rights.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Description of Capital Stock



Reporting Requirements and Restrictions on Acquisitions of Shares

Pursuant to Italian securities regulations any acquisition or sale of an interest in excess of 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50%, 66.6%, 90% and 95%
in the voting shares of a listed company, must be notified to the listed company and to Consob within five trading days (defined as days on which Borsa Italiana is open) following the acquisition or sale. Consob must make such information public
within three trading days from the notification.

For the purpose of the aforementioned disclosure obligations, shares of which a party is the
principal, even if the voting rights are due or assigned to third parties or suspended, are considered as investments. Shares in relation to which a party is assigned or due voting rights are also considered investments where one of the following
criteria or a combination of such, is met: (i) voting rights due as pledgee or usufructuary; (ii) voting rights due as depositary or third party account holder, as long as this right can be exercised at discretion; (iii) voting rights due by virtue
of power of attorney, as long as the right can be exercised at discretion with no specific instructions by the delegating party; (iv) voting rights due on the basis of an agreement envisaging the provisional, paid transfer of it.

The disclosure obligations envisaged above shall also apply to the treasury shares held directly or via subsidiary companies. In the event of shares
subject to security lending or contango transactions, the disclosure obligation is both the lender or the contango payers and the borrower or the contango brokers. For the same disclosure obligation, shall also be included both the
shares owned by nominees, trustees or subsidiary companies and the shares of which the voting rights belong or are assigned to such persons.

Shareholder agreements concerning the voting shares of a listed company must be notified to Consob, published in abridged form in the daily press and
filed with the Company Register of the place where the company has its registered office if they provide for duties of consultation before voting, set limits on the transfer or provide for the purchase of the relevant shares, have as their object or
effect the exercise of a dominant influence on the company, aim to encourage or frustrate a takeover bid or equity swap, including commitments relating to non-participation in a takeover bid. The same rule applies when the shareholder agreements
concern the shares issued by a non-listed company that controls a listed company. The notification must include the share ownership of all parties filing it.

When listed companies change their share capital, they must notify Consob and Borsa Italiana of the amount of the share capital and the number and
classes of shares into which it is divided. Consob and Borsa Italiana must make the information available to the public no later than the day following the notification. The notification shall be made no later than the day following the event
causing such modification or the day following the filing of the amended Bylaws.

In accordance with Italian antitrust laws and regulations, the
Antitrust Authority is required to prohibit acquisitions of sole or joint control over a company that would create or strengthen a dominant position in the domestic market or a significant part thereof. However, if the acquiring party and the
company to be acquired operate in more than one Member State of the EU and exceed certain revenue thresholds, the antitrust approval of the acquisition falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the European Commission. See Item 4. Information
on the Telecom Italia Group4.3 Regulation.

Limitations on Voting and Shareholdings

There are no limitations imposed by Italian law or by the Bylaws of Telecom Italia on the rights of non-residents of Italy or foreign persons to hold or
vote the Ordinary Shares other than those limitations resulting from the special powers of the State, which apply equally to all owners of Ordinary Shares, Italian and foreign alike.

Article 20-bis of the Companys bylaws (which was approved by the Shareholders Meeting on May 20, 2015 pursuant to a proposal by
Telefónica, through Telco) reads:

Transitory clause

In conformity with the prescriptions made by Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações ANATEL in its ruling dated
December 22, 2014, as subsequently amended on March 12, 2015, the exercise of all the administrative

rights (direitos políticos) of Telefónica S.A. in Telecom Italia and in its subsidiaries (including Tim Celular S.A. and Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda.) shall be
understood to be suspended, particularly with regard to:

i. the designation of members of the Board of Directors, Board of Statutory Auditors and
Executive Committee or any corporate body of such companies with equivalent powers;

ii. the exercising by Telefónica S.A. of its voting
rights and veto rights in the shareholders meetings of Telecom Italia and said companies or in any corporate body thereof with equivalent powers;

iii. its participation (in order to calculate quorums for the purpose of constituting such meetings and for resolutions) in shareholders meetings
or in any corporate body of Telecom Italia and said companies with equivalent powers.

The aforementioned restrictions shall prevail over the other
provisions of the company Bylaws of Telecom Italia that are incompatible with them, in such a way that Telefónica S.A.is always precluded from participating, intervening or exercising a voting right or veto, or registering its presence (in
order to calculate quorums for the purpose of constituting such meetings and for resolutions) in relation to any resolution adopted by Telecom Italia or said companies.

The content of this article 20-bis shall have efficacy for as long as Telefónica remains a shareholder of Telecom Italia, irrespective of the
number of shares, or until the moment in which this control, object of the restriction identified in the ANATEL case (Ato no 454 22 January 2015), shall cease to have efficacy.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Description Of American Depositary Receipts



10.5    DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS

Following the Merger, Olivetti as the surviving company changed its name to Telecom Italia S.p.A., succeeded to the Exchange Act registration
of Old Telecom Italia and became subject to the foreign private issuer reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Telecom Italia completed the listing of its Ordinary Share American Depositary Shares and Savings Share American Depositary Shares on
the New York Stock Exchange. Telecom Italia has entered into two Deposit Agreements among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as depositary, and the registered Holders from time to time of ADRs issued thereunder. The first such Deposit Agreement,
dated as of July 17, 2003, provides for the deposit of Ordinary Shares in registered form, par value 0.55 euros each and the issuance of the Ordinary Share ADSs; the second such Deposit Agreement, also dated as of July 17, 2003 provides for the
deposit of Savings Shares in registered form, par value 0.55 euros each and the issuance of the Savings Share ADSs. Because these agreements are otherwise substantially identical, such agreements (including all exhibits and amendments thereto) are
referred to herein as the Deposit Agreement, deposited Shares as well as deposited Savings Shares are referred to as Shares, and the Ordinary Share ADSs or Savings Share ADSs, as the case may be, are referred to as the
ADSs. The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Deposit Agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Deposit Agreement. Copies of the Deposit Agreement
are available for inspection at the principal office of the Depositary in New York (the Principal New York Office), which is presently located at 4 New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

ADRs evidencing ADSs are issuable by the Depositary pursuant to the terms of
the Deposit Agreement. Each ADS represents, as of the date hereof, the right to receive 10 Ordinary Shares (in the case of each Ordinary Share ADS) or 10 Savings Shares (in the case of each Savings Share ADS) in each case deposited under the Deposit
Agreement (together with any additional Ordinary Shares deposited thereunder and all other securities, property and cash received and held thereunder at any time in respect of or in lieu of such deposited Ordinary Shares, the Deposited
Securities) with the Custodian, currently the Milan office of BNP Paribas (together with any successor or successors thereto, the Custodian). An ADR may evidence any number of ADSs. Only persons in whose names ADRs are registered
on the books of the Depositary will be treated by the Depositary and the Company as Holders.

Deposit, Issuance, Transfer and Withdrawal

In connection with the deposit of Ordinary Shares under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary or the Custodian may require the following in form
satisfactory to it: (a) a written order directing the Depositary to issue or execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons designated in such order an ADR or ADRs evidencing the number of ADSs representing such
Deposited Securities (a Delivery Order); (b) proper endorsements or duly executed instruments of transfer in respect of such Deposited Securities; and (c) instruments assigning to the Custodian or its nominee any distribution on or in
respect of such Deposited Securities until the Ordinary Shares are registered in the name required by the Depositary or indemnity therefore. As soon as practicable after the Custodian receives Deposited Securities pursuant to any such deposit or
pursuant to any distribution upon Deposited Securities or change affecting Deposited Securities, the Custodian shall present such Deposited Securities for registration of transfer into the name of the Custodian or its nominee, 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 at such place or places and in such manner as the Depositary shall determine. The Depositary agrees to instruct the Custodian to place all Ordinary Shares accepted for deposit into a segregated
account separate from any Ordinary Shares of the Company that may be held by such Custodian under any other depositary receipt facility relating to the Ordinary Shares. Deposited Securities may be delivered by the Custodian to any person only under
the circumstances expressly contemplated in the Deposit Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of or governing the Shares make delivery of certificates therefore impracticable, Ordinary Shares may be deposited 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 Ordinary Shares, together with delivery of the documents, payments and Delivery Order referred to herein to the Custodian or the Depositary. Neither the Depositary nor the Custodian shall lend Deposited Securities.

After any such deposit of Ordinary 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 cable, telex or facsimile transmission. After receiving such
notice from the Custodian (or such other evidence as the Company may accept), the Depositary, subject to the Deposit Agreement, shall properly issue or execute and deliver, as the case may be at the transfer office of the Depositary (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. ADSs may be issued in certificated form or through the
direct registration system 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.

Subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office only
against deposit with the Custodian of: (a) Ordinary Shares in form satisfactory to the Custodian; (b) rights to receive Ordinary Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership
or transactions; or (c) other rights to receive Shares (until such Shares are actually deposited pursuant to (a) or (b) above, Pre-released ADRs) only if (i) Pre-released ADRs are fully collateralized (marked to market daily) with cash
or U.S. government securities held by the Depositary for the benefit of Holders (but such collateral shall not constitute Deposited Securities), (ii) each recipient of Pre-released ADRs agrees in writing with the Depositary that such recipient (a)
owns such Shares, (b) assigns all beneficial right, title and interest therein to the Depositary, (c) holds such Shares for the account of the Depositary and (d) will deliver such Shares to the Custodian as soon as practicable and promptly upon
demand therefore and (iii) all Pre-released ADRs evidence not more than 20% of all ADSs (excluding those evidenced by Pre-released ADRs) 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 retain for its own account any earnings on collateral for Pre-released ADRs and its charges for issuance thereof. 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 such Shares are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, non assessable and free of pre-emptive rights, that the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do and
that such Shares (A) are not restricted securities as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 unless at the time of deposit they may be freely transferred in accordance with Rule 144(k) and may otherwise be
offered and sold freely in the United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of Shares and issuance of ADRs.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in 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 is entitled to delivery at the Custodians office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADSs evidenced
thereby. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder of an ADR, the Depositary may deliver such Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder.

Distributions on Deposited Securities

Subject to the terms
and conditions of the Deposit Agreement, to the extent practicable, the Depositary will distribute to each Holder entitled thereto on the record date set by the Depositary therefore at such Holders address shown on the ADR Register, in
proportion to the number of Deposited Securities (on which the following distributions on Deposited Securities are received by the Custodian) represented by ADSs evidenced by such Holders ADRs:



|· |  | Cash.Any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or
authorized portion thereof (Cash), on an averaged, if possible, or other practicable basis, subject to appropriate adjustments for (i) taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable

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

of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other Distributions as in the case of Cash. Such U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks
drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents (any fractional cents being withheld without liability for interest and added to future Cash distributions).

To the extent that the Depositary determines in its discretion that any distribution is not practicable with respect to any Holder, the Depositary,
after consultation with the Company, may 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).

There can be no assurance that the Depositary will be able to effect any currency conversion or to sell or otherwise dispose of any distributed or
offered property, subscription or other rights, Shares or other securities in a timely manner or at a specified rate or price, as the case may be.

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 cooperate with the Depositary in the Depositarys compliance with any Company instructions in respect thereof, and the Depositary will use reasonable efforts to comply with such Company
instructions.

Record Dates

The Depositary shall, to the
extent necessary, after consultation with the Company, if practicable, fix a record date (which shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) for the

determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the exercise of any voting rights, to receive any
notice or to act in respect of other matters and only such Holders at the close of business on such record date shall be so entitled.

Voting of Deposited
Securities

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies of holders of Shares the Depositary will, unless
otherwise instructed by the Company, promptly thereafter, distribute to all Holders a notice containing (i) the information (or a summary thereof) included in any such notice received by the Depositary, including the agenda for the meeting, (ii) a
statement that the Holders as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to applicable provisions of Italian law and of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (any such provisions, if material,
will be summarized in such notice), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights, if any (subject to compliance by such Holder with the requirements described below) pertaining to the number of Shares represented by their
respective ADSs, (iii) if applicable, a statement as to the manner in which such Holders may request a proper communication to the issuer 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 ADS proxy cards, (iv) if applicable, an ADS 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 ADS proxy card, and (v) such other information, including any such modification to the foregoing procedures as agreed between the Depositary and the Company.

Upon receipt by the Depositary of a properly completed ADS proxy card, on or before the date set by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary
will attempt, insofar as practicable and permitted under any applicable provisions of Italian law and the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, to vote or cause to be voted the Shares underlying such ADRs in accordance with any
nondiscretionary instructions set forth in such ADS proxy card. The Depositary will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to Shares underlying such ADRs other than in accordance with such instructions.

A Holder desiring to exercise voting rights with respect to the Shares represented by its ADSs without the use of an ADS proxy card 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 Bylaws, (y) notify the Custodian of such deposit, and (z) instruct the Custodian to issue a communication for
such meeting, which gives 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.

A precondition for the issue of the communication 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 Bylaws.

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.

When the Company makes
its annual accounts available at its offices in connection with a general meeting of shareholders at which a vote will be taken on such accounts, the Company will deliver to the Depositary and the Custodian copies of such accounts. Until such
meeting, the Depositary will make available copies of such accounts for inspection at the office of the Depositary in New York (the Transfer Office), the office of the Custodian in Milan, Italy and any other designated transfer offices.

In the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary and the Company agree to use reasonable efforts to make and maintain arrangements (in addition to or in
substitution of the arrangements described in this paragraph) to enable Holders to vote the Shares underlying their ADRs.

Inspection of Transfer Books

The Deposit Agreement provides that the Depositary or its agent will keep books at its Transfer Office 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 the Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating
with Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement.

Reports and Other Communications

The Deposit Agreement, the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and any written communications from the Company, which are both received by
the Custodian or its nominee as a holder of Deposited Securities and made generally available to the holders of Deposited Securities, are available for inspection by Holders at the offices of the Depositary and the Custodian and at the Transfer
Office. The Depositary will mail copies of such communications (or English translations or summaries thereof) to Holders when furnished by the Company.

On or before the first date on which the Company makes any communication generally available to holders of Deposited Securities or any securities
regulatory authority or stock exchange, by publication or otherwise, the Company shall transmit to the Depositary a copy thereof in English or with an English translation or summary. The Company has delivered to the Depositary and the Custodian, a
copy of all provisions of or governing the Shares (other than copies of Italian law) and any other Deposited Securities issued by the Company or any affiliate of the Company, if any, and, promptly upon any change thereto, the Company shall deliver
to the Depositary and Custodian, a copy (in English or with an English translation) of such provisions (other than copies of Italian law) as so changed.

Changes
Affecting Deposited Securities

Subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs, the Depositary may, in its discretion, amend the ADRs
or distribute additional or amended ADRs (with or without calling ADRs for exchange) or cash, securities or property on the record date set by the Depositary therefore to reflect any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or
other reclassification of Deposited Securities, any Share Distribution or Other Distribution not distributed to Holders or any cash, securities or property available to the Depositary in respect of Deposited Securities from (and the Depositary is
hereby authorized to surrender any Deposited Securities to any person and to sell by public or private sale any property received in connection with) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy
or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, and to the extent the Depositary does not so amend the ADRs or make a distribution to Holders to reflect any of the foregoing, or the net proceeds thereof, whatever cash, securities or
property results from any of the foregoing shall constitute Deposited Securities and each ADS evidenced by ADRs shall automatically represent its pro rata interest in the Deposited Securities as then constituted.

Amendment and Termination of Deposit Agreement

The ADRs and
the Deposit Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Depositary, provided that any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration
fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or that shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders, shall become effective 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been
given to the Holders. Every Holder of an ADR at the time any amendment to the Deposit Agreement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement and
the ADRs as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Holder of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable
law. Any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 or (b) the ADSs or Shares to be traded solely
in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental
body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Description Of American Depositary Receipts



to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed rules. Such amendment or
supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance.

Upon any resignation of the Depositary which does not become effective during the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date of the Depositary shall have
resigned as such and (ii) the date on which the Company shall have appointed a successor depositary or on any removal of the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company,
terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. After the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary and its agents
will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to receive and hold (or sell) distributions on Deposited Securities and deliver Deposited Securities being withdrawn. As soon as practicable after the expiration of six
months from the date so fixed for termination, the Depositary shall sell the Deposited Securities and shall thereafter (as long as it may lawfully do so) hold in a segregated account the net proceeds of such sales, together with any other cash then
held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without liability for interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of ADRs not theretofore surrendered. After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations in respect
of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash. After the date so fixed for termination, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to
the Depositary and its agents.

Charges of Depositary

The Depositary may charge each person to whom ADSs are issued against deposits of Shares, including deposits in respect of Share Distributions, Rights
and Other Distributions, and each person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities, U.S.$5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) delivered or surrendered. The Depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities
and property received in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions prior to such deposit to pay such charge. In addition, the Depositary may charge Holders, a fee for the distribution of securities, such fee being in an amount
equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes hereof treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities or
the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the Depositary to Holders entitled thereto. The Company will pay all other charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant
to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Shares), (ii) cable, telex and facsimile transmission
and delivery charges incurred at the request of persons depositing, or Holders delivering Shares, ADRs or Deposited Securities (which are payable by such persons or Holders), (iii) transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfer of
Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities; there are no such fees in respect of
the Shares as of the date of the Deposit Agreement), (iv) expenses of the Depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars (which are paid out of such foreign currency) and (v) such fees and expenses as are incurred
by the Depositary (including without limitation expenses incurred on behalf of Holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in delivery of Deposited
Securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositarys or its Custodians compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (see Item 12D. American Depositary Shares).

Liability of Holders for Taxes

If any tax or other
governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to an ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced thereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge
shall be paid by the Holder thereof to the Depositary. The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination or, only for those reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 under the
Securities Act, any withdrawal of 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
respective Holder any part or all

of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder thereof 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 respective Holder remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced thereby 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 by the
Depositary or the Custodian. The Depositary shall forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may request to enable the Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental authorities or
agencies. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in 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.

The Depositary and the Company agree to use
reasonable efforts to make and maintain arrangements (in addition to or in substitution of the arrangements described herein) to enable persons that are considered United States residents for purposes of applicable law to receive any rebates, tax
credits or other benefits (pursuant to treaty or otherwise) relating to distributions on the ADSs to which such persons are entitled. Notwithstanding the above, the Company may, by written notice to the Depositary, modify or withdraw the procedures
described in this paragraph (including by ceasing to pay to the Depositary any amounts in respect of refunds of Italian withholding taxes), to the extent the Company determines that its participation in the refund process is no longer lawful or
practical.

See 10.6 Taxation for additional information on tax issues relating to ADRs.

General Limitations

The Depositary, the Company, their
agents and each of them shall: (a) incur no liability (i) if any present or future law, regulation, the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities, act of God, war or other circumstance beyond its control shall prevent, delay or subject to
any civil or criminal penalty any act which the Deposit Agreement or this ADR provides shall be done or performed by it, or (ii) by reason of any exercise or failure to exercise any discretion given it in the Deposit Agreement or this ADR; (b)
assume no liability except to perform its obligations to the extent they are specifically set forth in this ADR and the Deposit Agreement without gross negligence or bad faith; (c) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, be under no obligation
to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR; (d) in the case of the Company and its agents hereunder be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action,
suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and
liability be furnished as often as may be required; or (e) not be liable for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, or any
other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. The Depositary, its agents and the Company may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed
by them in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Depositary and its agents will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities
(provided that such act or omission to act is in good faith), for the manner in which any such vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. The Depositary and its agents may own and deal in any class of securities of the Company and its
affiliates and in ADRs. Neither the Company, the Depositary nor any of their respective agents shall be liable to Holders or beneficial owners of interests in ADSs for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages.

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; (b)

of the Deposit Agreement or the ADRs, 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.

10.6    TAXATION

Unless otherwise indicated, for purposes of the following discussion regarding taxation, the Ordinary Shares and the Savings Shares are collectively
referred to as the Telecom Italia Shares.

10.6.1    ITALIAN TAXATION

The following is a summary of material Italian tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares, Savings Shares or ADSs as at the
date hereof. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax matters relevant to a decision to hold Ordinary Shares, Savings Shares or ADSs. Therefore, this summary is provided for general information only and it is based upon
Italian tax laws in effect as of the date of this document. Consequently, be aware that such laws may change in the course of the year. You should consult your own tax advisors as to matters of Italian tax law. For purposes of Italian law and the
Italian - US Income Tax Convention which went into effect on January 1, 2010 (the Treaty), holders of ADSs which are evidenced by ADRs will be treated as holders of the underlying Ordinary Shares or Savings Shares, as
the case may be.

general principle, non-resident taxpayers are liable for Italian income tax with respect to income which is treated as arising in Italy, unless such income is subject to a final withholding tax deducted by the payer of the income.

Payments of dividends, either to holders of Ordinary Shares and applicable ADSs or to holders of Savings Shares and applicable ADSs, who are not Italian
residents and do not have a permanent establishment in Italy to which dividends are connected are subject to a final withholding tax at a rate of 26 percent (the rate was increased from 20 to 26 percent by Law Decree No. 66 of April 24, 2014,
converted with amendments into Law No. 89 of June 23, 2014 and applies on dividends paid from July 1, 2014 onwards, even in case the relevant distribution resolution was adopted before the above mentioned date). The obligation to withhold such tax
is imposed on the resident company/intermediary paying the dividends.

All shares of Italian listed companies have to be registered in a centralized
deposit system. With respect to dividends paid in connection with shares held in the centralized deposit system managed by Monte Titoli, such as Telecom Italia Shares, instead of the withholding tax mentioned above, a substitute income tax will
apply at the same tax rate as the above-mentioned withholding tax. This substitute income tax is levied by, and under the responsibility of, the Italian authorized intermediaries participating in the Monte Titoli system and with whom the securities
are deposited and also by non-Italian authorized intermediaries participating, directly or through a non-Italian centralized deposit system, in the Monte Titoli system. With respect to any dividends paid within the above mentioned centralized
deposit system, Telecom Italia assumes no responsibility for the withholding of tax at the source (and application of tax treaties, as discussed below) as such responsibility lies entirely on the Italian authorized intermediaries with whom the
securities are deposited.

Non-resident holders of Ordinary Shares and applicable ADSs have the right to recover within 48 months from the date of
payment of the Italian substitute income tax, up to eleven- twenty-sixth (11/26) of such 26 percent substitute tax on their dividend income, upon providing adequate evidence (by documentation issued by the tax authorities of their country of
residence) that they have paid a corresponding final income tax in such home country on the same dividend income.

These refunds are normally
subject to extensive delays. In addition, these refunds are an alternative to seeking any relief from double taxation under an income tax treaty, including the Treaty.

U.S. resident beneficial owners of Shares (either Ordinary or Savings Shares) and related ADSs may be entitled to a reduced tax rate on their dividends
under the Treaty. Where: (i) a U.S. resident owner qualifies for the benefits of the Treaty and meets all the requirements of the Treaty provision dealing with limitation on benefits, (ii) the U.S. resident owner is the actual beneficial
owner of the dividends, (iii) the dividends paid are not connected with a permanent establishment in Italy through which the U.S. resident owner carries on a business or with a fixed base in Italy through which the U.S. resident owner performs
independent personal services, the Treaty generally provides that Italian taxes cannot exceed 15 percent of the gross amount of the dividend (this 15 percent rate

may be reduced to 5 percent when the beneficial owner of the dividends is a U.S. company which has owned at least 25 percent of the voting stock of the company paying the dividends for a 12-month
period ending on the date the dividend is declared).

The withholding agent (i.e., the authorized intermediary/Depositary) may apply the Treaty,
rate directly if the recipient, as the beneficial owner of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs provides, before the dividend is paid (in accordance with the relevant instructions about timing and modalities generally provided for by the Depositary),
the intermediary with which the shares are deposited and which participates in the Monte Titoli system with the following documentation:



|(i) | a residency certificate that must be validated by the tax authorities in the holders country of residence. In the
case of a U.S. holder, a certification (Form 6166) issued by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that states that the beneficial owner is a U.S. resident for tax purposes. The certification is valid until March 31 of the year following the
submission; and
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | a declaration by the recipient containing all the data identifying such person as the beneficial owner and establishing
the existence of all the conditions necessary for the application of the Treaty, including a statement that it does not have a permanent establishment in Italy to which the dividend payment is attributable.
|---- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The processing of requests for certification by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may take a substantial period of time. Accordingly, in order to be
eligible for the procedure described below, eligible ADS holders should begin the process of obtaining Form 6166 as soon as possible after receiving instructions from the Depositary on how to claim the reduced rate provided by the Treaty.

The Depositarys instructions, which will be sent to all ADS holders before the dividend payment date, will specify certain deadlines for
delivering to the Depositary any documentation required to obtain the reduced rate provided by the Treaty, including the certification that the eligible ADS holders must obtain from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In the case of ADSs held through
a broker or other financial intermediary, the required documentation should be delivered to such financial intermediary for transmission to the Depositary. In all other cases, the eligible ADS holders should deliver the required documentation
directly to the Depositary.

If the holder of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs does not provide the relevant documentation in order to obtain the
reduced rate provided by the Treaty at the time the dividend is paid, the holder must pay the substitute income tax at the rate set forth by Italian domestic law. In this case, the recipient can apply for a refund equal to the difference between the
Italian domestic rate and the Treaty rate directly from the Italian tax authorities by filing the relevant documentation within 48 months from the date of payment. Extensive delays have been encountered by U.S. residents seeking payments directly
from the Italian authorities.

In the case of dividends paid to a U.S. partnership, the reduction of the tax rate under the Treaty is only available
to the extent such dividends are subject to U.S. tax in the hands of the partners.

Capital Gains Tax

Under Italian law, capital gains tax (CGT) is levied on capital gains realized by non-residents from the disposal of shares in
companies resident in Italy for tax purposes even if those shares are held outside of Italy. However, capital gains realized by non-resident holders on the sale of non-qualified shareholdings (as defined below) in companies whose shares or ADSs are
listed on a stock exchange and resident in Italy for tax purposes (as is the case for Telecom Italia) are not subject to CGT.

A qualified
shareholding consists of securities (except for Savings Shares and applicable ADSs) that: (i) entitle the holder to exercise more than 2 percent of the voting rights of a company with shares listed on a stock exchange (Telecom Italia is
such a company) in the ordinary meeting of the shareholders; or (ii) represent more than 5 percent of the share capital of a company with shares listed on a stock exchange (Telecom Italia is such a company). A non-qualified
shareholding is any shareholding that does not meet the above mentioned requirements to be qualified as a qualified shareholding.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Taxation



The relevant percentage is calculated taking into account the shareholdings sold during the prior
12-month period (the period starting from the day on which the taxpayer holds shareholding higher than the abovementioned percentages of 2 or 5 percent).

Pursuant to the Treaty, a U.S. resident will not be subject to Italian CGT on a sale of qualified shareholdings unless the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs
form part of the business property of a permanent establishment of the holder in Italy or pertain to a fixed base available to a holder in Italy for the purpose of performing independent personal services. U.S. residents who sell Telecom Italia
Shares or ADSs may be required to produce appropriate documentation establishing that the above mentioned conditions of non-taxability pursuant to the Treaty provisions have been satisfied if CGT would otherwise be applicable.

Inheritance and Gift Tax

The
transfers of any valuable asset (including Ordinary Shares, Savings Shares and ADSs) as a result of death or donation (or other transfers for no consideration) and the creation of liens on such assets for a specific purpose are taxed as follows:



|(i) | transfers in favor of the spouse and of direct descendants or ascendants are subject to an inheritance and gift tax
applied at a rate of 4 percent on the value of the inheritance or the gift exceeding 1,000,000 euros (per beneficiary);
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(ii) | transfers in favor of brothers and sisters are subject to an inheritance and gift tax applied at a rate of
6 percent on the value of the inheritance or the gift exceeding 100,000 euros (per beneficiary);
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iii) | transfers in favor of all other relatives up to the fourth degree or relatives-in-law up to the third degree, are
subject to an inheritance and gift tax applied at a rate of 6 percent on the entire value of the inheritance or the gift;
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(iv) | any other transfer is subject to an inheritance and gift tax applied at a rate of 8 percent on the entire value of the
inheritance or the gift.
|---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the beneficiary of any such transfer is a disabled individual, whose handicap is recognized pursuant
to Law No. 104 of February 5, 1992, the tax is applied only on the value of the assets (including the Shares) received in excess of 1,500,000 euros at the rates illustrated above, depending on the type of relationship existing between the deceased
or donor and the beneficiary.

With respect to listed shares, the value for inheritance and gift tax purposes is the average stock exchange price of
the last quarter preceding the date of the succession or of the gift (increased by the interest accrued during the meanwhile). With respect to unlisted shares, the value is determined proportionally to the equity resulting from the last approved
balance sheet of the company.

For non-residents, Italian Inheritance and Gift tax applied only with respect to assets and rights existing in the
Italian territory. Shares in companies that have their registered office, the seat of the administration or the main object in Italy are considered as existing in the Italian territory.

No gift tax convention is currently in place between Italy and the United States.

Registration Tax

Transfer of shares,
bonds and similar securities based on contracts executed in Italy are subject to registration tax as follows: (i) public deeds and notarized deeds are subject to a lump-sum registration tax of 200 euros at the time of the execution;
(ii) private deeds are subject to registration tax, at the same lump-sum, only in case of use or voluntary registration. This tax is also payable where a contract executed abroad or with different formalities is presented to an Italian
registration office or an Italian court.

Stamp taxes and duties

Stamp duties (imposta di bollo) are levied on certain documents, contracts and registers (e.g., bank checks, statements of accounts, bills,
written contracts, judicial acts, accountancy books), as regulated by DPR 642/1972. The tax is usually a nominal lump sum and, in exceptional cases, it may be levied as a percentage of the value mentioned in the document.

Any report to clients by an Italian resident intermediary with reference to financial instruments and products (including those held abroad through an
Italian resident intermediary) is subject to an annual stamp duty of 0.2 percent (0.15 percent in 2013). The rate is applied on the market value orwhere no market value is availableon the nominal value or the redemption amount of any
financial product or financial instruments (including the Telecom Italia shares or ADSs). The provision setting a minimum threshold of 34.20 euros was abolished on December 31, 2013. For taxpayers other than individuals, this stamp duty is capped at
14,000 euros (in 2013, the cap was 4,500 euros).

It is assumed that intermediaries send periodic communications to clients at least once a year,
even if the Italian intermediary is not required to prepare and send such communications. In this case, stamp duties must be applied at December 31 of each year and, in any case, at the expiration of the relationship between intermediary and
client.

Tax on financial transactions



| | 1. | Shares and other equity instrument transactions
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------

The Italian Financial Transactions TAX (FTT) was introduced by Law No. 228 as of December 24, 2012. Detailed
regulations of such tax were provided by the Decree of the Ministry of Economy and Finance as of February 21, 2013. In accordance with the relevant provisions, starting from March 1, 2013 the FTT is levied to:



| | a) | transfers of ownership of shares and certain participating financial instruments which have been issued by companies
that have their registered office in Italy, regardless of the place of residence of the parties involved and of the place where the contract has been executed; and
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | transfers of ownership of securities (such as ADSs) representing equity investments referred to in point a) above,
irrespective of the country of residence of the issuer of these securities.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, the relevant tax criterion
for applying FTT is the place of residence (i.e., the place of the registered office) of the issuer of the shares and of the participating financial instruments. In contrast, the place of the execution of the relevant transfers and the residence of
the contractual parties involved is not relevant in defining taxed transactions. Accordingly, transfers performed outside Italian territory through foreign intermediaries, are also subject to tax in Italy, to the extent they refer to shares, or
participating financial instruments issued by companies registered in Italy (or securities representing such equity investments). So, with reference to the transfer of ADSs, the place of residence of the Depositary is not relevant. Instead the
country of residence of Telecom Italia, as issuer of the shares, is relevant.

The taxable base is the net daily balance of the
transactions calculated on the same security and executed by the same persons, or the consideration paid.

The tax is determined
proportionally by applying a percentage rate to the value of the counter value of the transaction that varies in relation to the market on which the transaction is carried out. The standard FTT rate is:



| |  |  | 0.20 percent (exceptionally increased to 0.22 percent only for 2013) for over-the-counter transactions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0.10 percent (exceptionally increased to 0.12 percent only for 2013) for transactions executed on regulated markets or
in multilateral trading facilities established in (i) an EU Member State, (ii) in an EEA country that is included in the white list, or (iii) subject to certain conditions, in a non-EEA jurisdiction that is included in the white list.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FTT is due by the person to whom the ownership of the shares, the financial participating instruments and the
securities representing equity investments (such as ADSs) is transferred. The tax is

either (i) applied by the financial intermediary (e.g. banks, trusts, investment companies) or the notary directly involved in the execution of the transfer, if any, or (ii) paid directly by the
transferee, by the 16th day of the month following the execution of the respective transaction. Where more than one intermediary are involved in the execution of the transfer, the tax must be applied by the intermediary who receives the order
to execute the transaction directly from the transferee.

Non-Italian intermediaries and other non-resident persons involved in the
transaction must comply with the obligations deriving from the application of such tax through their Italian permanent establishment, if any; in absence of a permanent establishment in Italy, non-residents may appoint a tax representative in order
to comply with all the relevant tax obligations. In cases other than the above (i.e., where an intermediary is not interposed in a taxable transaction), the obligations, including the payment of the tax, must be fulfilled directly by the
non-resident transferee.

Non-residents involved in a financial transaction are deemed to be the purchaser or the final counterparty
of the execution order, if established in a State which does not fulfill the exchange of information requirements, i.e. a State not included in the list provided by the Directorial Decree No. 2013/26948, released on March 1, 2013 by the
Italian Tax Authorities.

The Italian Tax Authorities approved the FTT annual return form and related instructions on
December 27, 2013. The FTT return must be filed by March 31 of each year (with reference to FTT paid over the previous year), but no return needs to be filed if the FTT paid does not exceed 50 euros. Non-residents may file the FTT return
through their Italian permanent establishment or through an appointed tax representative. In the absence of a permanent establishment in Italy or of a tax representative, the FTT return can be filed electronically or directly by registered mail.

It should be noted that Italian FTT could be significantly amended in the light of the possible approval of the EU FTT Directive
proposal.

10.6.2    UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION

The following is a description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the U.S. Holders described below of owning and disposing
of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs representing Telecom Italia Shares, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular persons decision to hold the securities. This
discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, it does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant in light of the U.S.
Holders particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences and the potential application of the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), known as the Medicare contribution
tax, and tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment, such as:



|· |  | certain financial institutions;
|- |  | -------------------------------



|· |  | dealers or traders in securities who use a mark-to-market method of tax accounting;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | persons holding Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs as part of a hedging transaction, straddle, wash sale, conversion
transaction or integrated transaction or persons entering into a constructive sale with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs;
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | persons whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | tax-exempt entities, including individual retirement accounts or Roth IRAs;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | persons that own or are deemed to own ten percent or more of the voting stock of Telecom Italia;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | persons who acquired Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as
compensation; or
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | persons holding Telecom Italia Shares in connection with a trade or business conducted outside of the United States.

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Taxation



If an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Telecom
Italia Shares or ADSs, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs and partners in
such partnerships should consult their tax advisers as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs.

This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, and the
Treaty, all as of the date hereof, any of which is subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. It is also based in part on representations by the Depositary and assumes that each obligation under the Deposit Agreement and any related
agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

A U.S. Holder is a person who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a
beneficial owner of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs who is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty and is:



|· |  | a citizen or individual resident of the United States;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States,
any state therein or the District of Columbia; or
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In general, a U.S. Holder who owns ADSs will be treated as the owner of the underlying Ordinary Shares or Saving Shares, as the
case may be, represented by those ADSs for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized if a U.S. Holder exchanges ADSs for the underlying Ordinary Shares or Saving Shares, as the case may be, represented by
those ADSs.

The U.S. Treasury has expressed concern that parties to whom American depositary shares are released before shares are delivered to the
depositary (pre-release), or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between holders and the issuer of the security underlying the American depositary shares, may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax
credits by holders of American depositary shares. These actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax, described below, applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate holders. Accordingly, the
creditability of Italian taxes, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, each described below, could be affected by actions taken by such parties or intermediaries.

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of owning and disposing of Telecom
Italia Shares or ADSs in their particular circumstances.

This discussion assumes that Telecom Italia has not been, and will not become, a passive
foreign investment company, as described below.

Taxation of distributions

Distributions made with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs (other than certain pro rata distributions of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs),
including any Italian tax withheld, will generally constitute foreign-source dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent such distributions are made from Telecom Italias current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Because Telecom Italia does not maintain calculations of earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions will generally be reported to
U.S. Holders as dividends. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, subject to applicable limitations that may vary depending on your particular circumstances and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, dividends paid
to you may be taxable at the favorable rates applicable to long-term capital gains. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends. If you are a corporate U.S. Holder
you will not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction for dividends paid on the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs. The amount of any cash distribution paid in euros, including the amount of any Italian tax withheld, will be included in your
income in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of such euros on the date of receipt by the Depositary, in the case of U.S. Holders of ADSs, or by the U.S. Holder, in the case of

|Item 10. Additional Information |  | Taxation



U.S. Holders of Telecom Italia Shares, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you
generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. You may have foreign currency gain or loss if the amount of such dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of its receipt.
Gain or loss, if any, recognized on the sale or other disposition of such euros will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of
distribution.

Subject to certain limitations and restrictions and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury,
Italian taxes withheld from distributions on Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs at a rate not in excess of that applicable under the Treaty will be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability. Italian taxes withheld
in excess of the rate applicable under the Treaty will generally not be eligible for credit against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability (See Section 10.6.1Italian TaxationIncome Tax for a discussion of how
to obtain the Treaty withholding rate). Instead of claiming a credit, you may, at your election, deduct such Italian taxes in computing your taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. law. An election to deduct
foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits applies to all taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year to foreign countries and possessions of the United States. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the foreign tax credit
implications of the payment of any Italian withholding taxes.

Taxation of capital gains

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize U.S.-source capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs, which will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs for more than one year. The amount of gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the gross amount realized and the U.S. Holders adjusted tax
basis in the Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs, in each case as determined in U.S. dollars. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers about the treatment of capital gains, which may be taxed at lower rates than ordinary income for non-corporate
taxpayers, and capital losses, the deductibility of which may be limited.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Telecom Italia believes that it was not a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes
for 2015, or in previous years. However, since PFIC status depends upon the composition of Telecom Italias income and assets and the market value of Telecom Italias assets (including, among others, less than 25 percent owned equity
investments) from time to time, there can be no assurance that Telecom Italia will not be a PFIC for any taxable year. If Telecom Italia were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Telecom Italia Shares or ADSs, certain adverse
tax consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are
subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and
certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a
credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

|Item 15. Controls And Procedures |  | Disclosure Controls And Procedures
Managements Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



Item 15.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

15.1.    DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and of the Head of Administration, Finance and Control, according to the Companys
404 Process guidelines (revised also to meet the reporting requirements set forth by article 154-bis of the Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998; the aforementioned Italian rule provides for a special report broadly corresponding in scope to the
certifications and the managements report on internal control over financial reporting required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act) performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2015. The Companys management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which by their nature can provide only reasonable assurance regarding managements
control objectives. Based on this evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Head of Administration, Finance and Control concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

15.2.    MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and the Companys Head of Administration, Finance and Control and effected by the Companys Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:



|· |  | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures for the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of
the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Companys management assessed the effectiveness of the
companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, the Companys management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on managements assessment, management has concluded
that, as of December 31, 2015, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A., the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this
annual report, has audited the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. Their attestation report on internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

Chief Financial Officer, as well as to all the Groups employees in and outside Italy; the suppliers of the Company are required to accept and apply it, too. The Code of Ethics and Conduct has subsequently been amended from time to time by the
Board of Directors, which acted on the basis of opinions by the Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, in order to conform it to the developments in the applicable law and market regulations, taking into account national and
international best practices. The Code of Ethics and Conduct in force is available on Telecom Italias website at www.telecomitalia.com. See also under Item 16G. Corporate Governance16.1.1 Differences in Telecom Italias

The Board of Auditors (also in its role as Telecom Italias Audit Committee), in accordance with and to the extent permitted by applicable Italian
law, is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of the Companys external auditors engaged for the purpose of issuing the audit report on the annual financial statements. To this effect, according to current Italian
law, the Board of Auditors makes a reasoned proposal to the Shareholders Meeting which appoints the external auditors and determines their compensation.

Group Procedure) which are currently in force. Such procedure became effective concurrently with the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. as Telecom Italias primary independent auditors.

The Board of Auditors has the right to establish guidelines and qualitative and quantitative criteria regarding the appointment of auditors to provide
various services both audit and non-audit services, valid for the entire Group, which it did by requiring the introduction, from January 1, 2012, of an operative procedure which provides for prior examination by the Board of Auditors (even for
pre-approved appointments and services) if certain qualitative conditions or when specific quantitative thresholds are exceeded. The Board of Auditors also stated that it will endorse the corresponding determinations adopted by the audit committees
of the SEC-registered subsidiary companies, provided that they are made on the basis of rules compliant with the applicable regulationsincluding United States regulationsand in conformity with the Group Guidelines in the matter.

Furthermore, in accordance with the Group Procedure above, the Manager responsible for preparing the Companys financial reports (who acts under
the supervision of the Telecom Italia Board of Auditors) sends, on a quarterly basis, to the Board of Auditors and the Control and Risk Committee, the information gathered on any Additional Appointments awarded and services provided. In relation to
the above-mentioned appointments, the Board of Auditors and the Control and Risk Committee may have any verifications of compliance deemed necessary carried out by the Internal Control Manager.

|Item 16G. Corporate Governance |  | Differences In Telecom Italias Corporate Governance And New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Practices



Item 16G.    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

16G.1    DIFFERENCES IN TELECOM ITALIAS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
PRACTICES

We believe the following to be the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and NYSE corporate governance
rules applicable to US companies.

Independent Directors.    Under NYSE listing rules applicable to US companies,
independent directors must comprise a majority of the board of directors.

Article 147-ter of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance requires
boards, with more than seven members, to have at least two directors who meet the criteria set forth by Article 148 for the independence of the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors; in addition the Borsa Italiana Corporate Governance Code
requires Boards of Directors to have an adequate number of independent members, and defines the criteria to be applied in determining independence. Telecom Italias Corporate Governance Principles incorporate by reference the same independence
criteria set forth by the Borsa Italiana Code. Presently 9 out 16 members of the Telecom Italia Board qualify as independent, as they meet both the requirements set forth by Article 148, and the criteria set forth by the Borsa Italiana Corporate
Governance Code.

Non-management Directors Meeting.Pursuant to NYSE listing standards, non-management
directors must meet on a regular basis without management present and independent directors must meet separately at least once per year. Borsa Italianas Corporate Governance Code requires independent directors to meet at least once a year
without management present.

Telecom Italias Corporate Governance Principles establish the position of Lead Independent Director. The position
is intended to provide a point of reference and coordination for the needs and inputs of the independent directors and is entrusted with the power to call special meetings of independent members (Independent Directors Executive Sessions) to
discuss, separately from the management, issues related to the working of the Board and the management of the business. In 2015 a total of 7 such sessions were held. The Lead Independent Director may use the Companys support functions in
performing his tasks. As of April 8, 2016 the position is held by Giorgio Valerio. For further details, see also 10.1 Corporate GovernanceGeneralBoard of DirectorsExecutive Directors and Activities of the Board.

Board of Directors Internal Committees.According to NYSE listing standards, US companies listed on the
NYSE are required to have a Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee. Also according to Borsa Italianas Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors shall establish among its members a
Nominating Committee (made up, for the majority, of independent directors) a Remuneration Committee (made up of independent directors or of non-executive directors, the majority of which are to be independent) and a Control and Risk Committee (made
up of independent directors or non-executive directors, the majority of which are to be independent).

Telecom Italia Board specifically established
a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (thus combining responsibilities and roles of the Nominating Committee and the Remuneration Committee) and a Control and Risk Committee.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.    Under NYSE standards, the nominating/corporate governance committee is composed
entirely of independent directors. In addition to identifying individuals qualified to become board members, this committee must develop and recommend to the board a set of corporate governance principles. Pursuant to NYSE standards, this committee
should also adopt a written charter.

Article 9 of Telecom Italias bylaws provides for the members of the Board of Directors to be elected
using the slate system, which permits shareholders, who, alone or together, hold shares representing at least 0.5% of the share capital, to put forward slates of nominees for the appointment as directors: the system is intended to ensure the
presence on the Board of persons designated by minority shareholders. Thus, the Companys view is that using the slate system meets the needs otherwise served by the creation of a Nominating Committee.

On the other hand, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (made up of non-executive directors only,
a majority of whom must be independent, one of them chosen from a minority slate), among other activities, is in charge of submitting to the Board of Directors candidates for appointment as director in case of co-optation, should the replacement of
independent directors be necessary. In addition Telecom Italia has a Control and Risk Committee (made up of non-executive directors only, a majority of whom must be independent, one of them chosen from a minority slate) which, among other
activities, actively participates and assists in developing and implementing the corporate governance procedures adopted by Telecom Italia.

For
further details, see also 10.1 Corporate GovernanceGeneralBoard of DirectorsInternal Committees.

Remuneration Committee.    Under NYSE standards, the Remuneration Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. In
addition to the review and approval of corporate goals relevant to CEO compensation and evaluation of the CEO performance in light of those given, this committee must determine and approve the CEOs compensation and make recommendations to the
Board of Directors with respect to non-CEO compensation, incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans.

Telecom Italia has a Nomination and
Remuneration Committee, made up of non-executive directors only, a majority of whom are independent (one of them chosen from a minority slate). Pursuant to the Companys Corporate Governance Principles, the Remuneration Committee shall, among
other things:



|(1) | oversee the succession plan for Executive Directors, and monitor the updating of the company management replacement
lists, prepared by the Executive directors;
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | establish the procedure for the annual evaluation of the Board of Directors;
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | propose the criteria for allocating the total annual compensation established by the Shareholders Meeting for the
whole Board of Directors;
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(4) | perform other duties assigned to it by the Board of Directors;
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | express opinions to the Board of Directors regarding its size and composition and express recommendations with regard to
the professional skills necessary within the Board;
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(6) | submit the Board of Directors candidates for directors offices in case of cooptation, should the replacement of
independent directors be necessary;
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(7) | periodically evaluate the adequacy, overall consistency and actual application of the policy for the remuneration of
directors and key management personnel, on the basis of the information provided by the managing directors; it shall formulate proposals to the Board of Directors in that regard;
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(8) | submit proposals or issue opinions to the Board of Directors for the remuneration of executive directors and other
directors who cover particular offices as well as for the identification of performance objectives related to the variable component of that remuneration; it shall monitor the implementation of decisions adopted by the Board of Directors and verify,
in particular, the actual achievement of performance objectives.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the procedure for transactions with the
Companys related parties, adopted by board resolution of November 4, 2010 and subsequently amended (available on the www.telecomitalia.com website, Governance sectionGovernance System channel), in case of resolutions
regarding the remuneration of directors and executive officers with strategic responsibilities the tasks assigned to the board committee by the Telecom Italia procedure are in this case performed by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

For further details, see also 10.1 Corporate GovernanceGeneralBoard of DirectorsInternal Committees.

Audit Committee.    US companies listed on the NYSE are required to establish an Audit Committee that satisfies the
requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the 1934 Act.

The Board of Auditors, as permitted by Rule 10A-3, is performing the corresponding functions for
Telecom Italia, which therefore is exempted from the requirement to have a separate audit committee.

ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. The code should provide for the reporting of violations of its provisions or of laws and regulations.

Telecom Italia has adopted such a Code. See also under 16B.Code of Ethics and Conduct.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM

To the Shareholders of Telecom Italia SpA

In our opinion, the
accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Telecom Italia
SpA and its subsidiariesat December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in
Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing on Item 15.2 of
the 2015 Annual Report to Shareholders. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement
and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTE 1FORM, CONTENT AND OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION

Form and content

Telecom Italia S.p.A. (the Parent) and
its subsidiaries form the Telecom Italia Group or the Group.

Telecom Italia is a joint-stock company (S.p.A.) organized under
the laws of the Republic of Italy.

The registered offices of the Parent are located in Milan at Via Gaetano Negri 1, Italy.

The duration of the company, as stated in the companys Bylaws, extends until December 31, 2100.

The Telecom Italia Group operates mainly in Europe, the Mediterranean Basin and South America.

The Group is engaged principally in the communications sector and, particularly, the fixed and mobile national and international telecommunications sector.

The Telecom Italia Group consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis (for further details see
Note Accounting policies) and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (designated as IFRS).

In 2015, the Group has applied the accounting policies on a basis consistent with those of the previous years, except for the new standards and interpretations adopted
by the Group since January 1, 2015 and described below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for
available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets held for trading and derivative financial instruments which have been measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of hedged assets and liabilities have been adjusted to reflect the changes in
fair value of the hedged risks (fair value hedge).

In accordance with IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements) comparative information included in the
consolidated financial statements is, unless otherwise indicated, that of the preceding two years.

The Telecom Italia Group consolidated financial statements are
expressed in euro (rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise indicated).

Publication of the Telecom Italia Group consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2015 was approved by resolution of the Board of Directors meeting held on March 17, 2016.

Financial statement formats

The financial statement formats adopted are consistent with those indicated in IAS 1. In particular:



| | · |  | the consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared by classifying assets and liabilities according to current and non-current criterion;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the separate consolidated income statement has been prepared by classifying operating expenses by nature of expense as this form of presentation is considered more appropriate and representative of the
specific business of the Group, conforms to internal reporting and is in line with Telecom Italia Groups industrial sector;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the profit or loss for the year as shown in the separate consolidated income statement and all other non-owner changes in equity;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the consolidated statement of cash flows has been prepared by presenting cash flows from operating activities according to the indirect method, as permitted by IAS 7 (Statement of Cash
Flows).

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



Furthermore, according to IAS 1 (paragraphs 97 and 98), certain expense and income items that are material in terms of
nature and amount are separately disclosed in the notes to the separate consolidated income statement. Specifically, such items include: income/expenses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment, business segments and
investments; expenses resulting from corporate restructuring, reorganizations and other corporate transactions (mergers, spin-offs, etc.); expenses resulting from regulatory disputes and penalties and associated liabilities; other provisions for
risks and charges and related reversals; and impairment losses on goodwill and/or other tangible and intangible assets.

Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of an entity:



| | · |  | that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entitys chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources (for the Telecom Italia Group, the Board of Directors of the Parent) to be allocated
to the segment and assess its performance; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | for which discrete financial information is available.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

In particular, the operating segments of the Telecom Italia
Group are organized according to the relative geographical location of the telecommunications business (Domestic and Brazil) and according to the specific businesses for the other segments. Furthermore, please note that, since the fourth quarter of
2013, the SoforaTelecom Argentina group is listed under Discontinued operations.

The term operating segment is considered synonymous with
Business Unit. The operating segments of the Telecom Italia Group are as follows:



| | · |  | Domestic: includes operations in Italy for voice and data services on fixed and mobile networks for final customers (retail) and other operators (wholesale), the operations of the Telecom Italia Sparkle group
(International wholesale), the operations of Olivetti (products and services for Information Technology), the operations of INWIT S.p.A. (a company operating in the electronic communications infrastructure business) and the units supporting the
Domestic sector;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Brazil: includes mobile (TIM Celular) and fixed (TIM Celular and Intelig) telecommunications operations in Brazil;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Media:through Persidera S.p.A. Telecom Italia manages digital multiplexes and supplies ancillary, as well as the provision of accessory services and digital signal broadcasting platforms to third parties;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Other Operations: includes finance companies and other minor companies not strictly related to the core business of the Telecom Italia Group.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 2ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis as there is the reasonable
expectation that Telecom Italia will continue its operational activities in the foreseeable future (and in any event with a time horizon of at least twelve months).

In particular, consideration has been given to the following factors:



| | · |  | the main risks and uncertainties (that are for the most part of external in nature) to which the Group and the various activities of the Telecom Italia Group are exposed:
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | macroeconomic changes in the Italian, European and South American markets (particularly the Brazilian market), as well as the volatility of financial markets in the Eurozone generally;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | variations in business conditions and fluctuations in the competitive environment;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | changes to laws and regulations (price and rate variations, or decisions that may affect the technological choices);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the policy for financial risk management (market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk) described in the Note Financial risk management.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management believes that, at this time, such factors do not raise substantial doubts as to the Groups ability to continue as a going concern.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of all subsidiaries from the date control over such subsidiaries commences until the date that control ceases.

The statement of financial
position date of all the subsidiaries financial statements coincides with that of the Parent.

Control exists when the Parent has all the following:



| | · |  | power over the investee, which includes the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the investees returns;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investors returns.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Telecom Italia
assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in one or more of the three control elements.

In the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements, assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the consolidated companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and non-controlling interests in equity and in the profit (loss) for the year are
disclosed separately under appropriate captions, respectively, in the consolidated statement of financial position, in the separate consolidated income statement and in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Under IFRS 10 (Consolidated financial statements), the total comprehensive loss (including the profit or loss for the year) is attributed to the owners of the
parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

All intragroup balances and
transactions and any gains and losses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The carrying amount of the investment in each
subsidiary is eliminated against the corresponding share of equity in each subsidiary, after adjustment, if any, to fair value at the acquisition date of control. At that date, goodwill is recorded as an intangible asset, as described below, whereas
any gain from a bargain purchase or negative goodwill is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement.

Assets and liabilities of foreign consolidated
subsidiaries which are denominated in currencies other than euro are converted at the exchange rates prevailing at the statement of financial position date (the current method); income and expenses are converted at the average exchange rates
for the year. Exchange differences resulting from the application of this method are classified as equity until the entire disposal of the investment or upon loss of control of the foreign subsidiary. Upon partial disposal, without losing control,
the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of exchange differences related to the disposed interest is recognized in non-controlling interests.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



The cash flows of foreign consolidated subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than Euro included in the
consolidated statement of cash flows are converted into Euro at the average exchange rates for the year.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the
allocation of the purchase price of a foreign entity are recorded in the relevant foreign currency and are converted using the year-end exchange rate.

Under IFRS
10, changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests shall be
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received shall be recognized
directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Parent.

Under IFRS 10, the parent company in case of loss of control of a subsidiary:



| | · |  | derecognizes:
| | - |  | -------------



| | · |  | the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | recognizes:
| | - |  | -----------



| | · |  | the fair value of the consideration received, if any, from the transaction;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | any gain or loss, resulting from the transaction, in the separate consolidated income statement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the reclassification to the separate consolidated income statement, of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, as provided, respectively, by IAS 28
(Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures) and IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements).

Associates are all entities in which the Group holds at least 20% of
the voting rights or exercises significant influence, but no control or joint control over the financial and operating policies.

A joint venture is a joint
arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Joint control is the contractually
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Associates and joint ventures are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date
such significant influence or joint control ceases.

Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate or a joint venture is recognised
at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investors share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The investors share of the investees profit or loss is recognised in
the investors income statement. Dividends received from an investee reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the investees other comprehensive income (i.e.
those arising from foreign exchange conversion differences). The investors share of those changes is recognised in the investors other comprehensive income.

If an investors share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the investor discontinues
recognising its share of further losses.

After the investors interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognised,
only to the extent that the investor has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture subsequently reports profits, the investor resumes recognising its
share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognised.

Gains and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between an investor
(including its consolidated subsidiaries) and its associate or joint venture are recognised in the investors financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate or joint venture.

Gains and losses arising from transactions with associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in those entities.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Under IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), goodwill is recognized as of the acquisition date of control and measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below:



|a) | the aggregate of:
|-- | -----------------



| | · |  | the consideration transferred (measured in accordance with IFRS 3; it is generally recognized on the basis of the acquisition date fair value);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree measured at the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets at the acquisition date fair value;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the acquiree;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|b) | the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired net of the identifiable liabilities assumed measured at the acquisition date of control.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IFRS 3 requires, inter alia, the following:



| | · |  | incidental costs incurred in connection with a business combination are charged to the separate consolidated income statement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer shall remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its fair value at the acquisition date of control and recognize the resulting gain or
loss, if any, in the separate consolidated income statement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodwill is classified in the statement of financial position as an intangible asset
with an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill initially recorded is subsequently reduced only for impairment losses. Further details are provided in the accounting
policy Impairment of tangible and intangible assetsGoodwill, reported below. In case of loss of control of a subsidiary, the relative amount of goodwill is taken into account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal.

Development costs

Costs incurred internally for the development of new
products and services represent either intangible assets (mainly costs for software development) or tangible assets. Such costs are capitalized only when all the following conditions are satisfied: i) the cost attributable to the development phase
of the asset can be measured reliably, ii) there is the intention, the availability of financial resources and the technical ability to complete the asset and make it available for use or sale and iii) it can be demonstrated that the asset will be
able to generate future economic benefits.

Capitalized development costs comprise only expenditures that can be attributed directly to the development process for
new products and services.

Capitalized development costs are amortized systematically over the estimated product or service life so that the amortization method
reflects the way in which the assets future economic benefits are expected to be consumed by the entity.

|--------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------------
|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



Other intangible assets with a finite useful life

Other purchased or internally-generated assets with a finite useful life are recognized as assets, in accordance with IAS 38 (Intangible Assets), where it is
probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and where the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Such assets are recorded at
purchase or production cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives; the amortization rates are reviewed annually and revised if the current estimated useful life is different from that estimated previously. The
effect of such changes is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement prospectively.

For a small portion of mobile offerings, the Group capitalizes
directly attributable subscriber acquisition costs (currently mainly represented by commissions for the sales network) when the following conditions are met:



| | · |  | the capitalized costs can be measured reliably;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| | · |  | there is a contract binding the customer for a specific period of time;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | it is probable that the amount of the capitalized costs will be recovered through the revenues generated by the services contractually provided, or, where the customer withdraws from the contract in advance, through the
collection of a penalty.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capitalized subscriber acquisition costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the foreseen minimum period of the
underlying contract (between 24 and 30 months).

In all other cases, subscriber acquisition costs are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement when
incurred.

Tangible assets

Property, plant and equipment owned

Property, plant and equipment owned is stated at acquisition or production cost. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only if they increase the future
economic benefits embodied in the related item of property, plant and equipment. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Cost also includes the expected
costs of dismantling the asset and restoring the site if a legal or constructive obligation exists. The corresponding liability is recognized at its present value as a provision in the statement of financial position. These capitalized costs are
depreciated and charged to the separate consolidated income statement over the useful life of the related tangible assets.

The recalculation of estimates for
dismantling costs, discount rates and the dates in which such costs are expected to be incurred is reviewed annually, at each financial year-end. Changes in the above liability must be recognized as an increase or decrease of the cost of the
relative asset; the amount deducted from the cost of the asset must not exceed its carrying amount. The excess if any, should be recorded immediately in the separate consolidated income statement, conventionally under the line item
Depreciation.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment owned is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

The depreciation rates are reviewed annually and revised if the current estimated useful life is different from that estimated previously. The effect of such
changes is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement prospectively.

Land, including land pertaining to buildings, is not depreciated.

Assets held under finance leases

Assets held under finance leases, in which
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Group, are initially recognized as assets of the Group at fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments, including bargain purchase options.
The corresponding liability due to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position under financial liabilities.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



Lease payments are apportioned between interest (recognized in the separate consolidated income statement) and
principal (recognized as a deduction from liabilities). This split is determined so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Furthermore, gains realized on sale and leaseback transactions that are recorded under finance lease contracts are deferred over the lease term.

The depreciation policy for depreciable assets held under finance leases is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are owned. If there is no reasonable
certainty over the acquisition of the ownership of the asset at the end of the lease period, assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are accounted for as operating leases. Operating lease rentals are
charged to the separate consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

When a lease includes both land and buildings, an entity
assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately.

Capitalized borrowing costs

Under IAS 23 (Borrowing Costs), the Group capitalizes borrowing costs only if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset, that is an asset that takes a substantial period of time (conventionally more than 12 months) to get ready for its intended use or sale.

Capitalized borrowing costs are recorded in the separate consolidated income statement and deducted from the finance expense line item to which they
relate.

Impairment of intangible and tangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, as
set forth in IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets); however, when the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the original amount of goodwill is not reinstated.

The test is generally conducted at the end of every year so the date of testing is the year-end closing date of the financial statements. Goodwill acquired and
allocated during the year is tested for impairment at the end of the year in which the acquisition and allocation took place.

To test for impairment, goodwill is
allocated at the date of acquisition to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units which is expected to benefit from the acquisition.

If the
carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement. The impairment loss is first recognized as a deduction of
the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and then only applied to the other assets of the cash-generating unit in proportion to their carrying amount, up to the recoverable amount of
the assets with a finite useful life. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill is allocated is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

In calculating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The future cash flows are those arising from an explicit time horizon between three and five years as well as those extrapolated to estimate the terminal value. The long-term growth rate used
to estimate the terminal value of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is assumed not to be higher than the average long-term growth rate of the segment, country or market in which the cash-generating unit (or group of
cash-generating units) operates.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



The value in use of cash-generating units denominated in foreign currency is estimated in the local currency by
discounting cash flows to present value on the basis of an appropriate rate for that currency. The present value obtained is converted to euro at the spot rate on the date of the impairment test (in the case of the Telecom Italia Group, the date of
the financial statements).

Future cash flows are estimated by referring to the current operating conditions of the cash generating unit (or group of
cash-generating units) and, therefore, do not include either benefits originating from future restructuring for which the entity is not yet committed, or future investments for the improvement or optimization of the cash-generating unit.

For the purpose of calculating impairment, the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit is established based on the same criteria used to determine the recoverable
amount of the cash generating unit, excluding surplus assets (that is, financial assets, deferred tax assets and net non-current assets held for sale) and includes the goodwill attributable to non-controlling interests.

After conducting the goodwill impairment test for the cash-generating unit (or groups of cash-generating units), a second level of impairment testing is carried out
which includes the corporate assets which do not generate positive cash flows and which cannot be allocated by a reasonable and consistent criterion to the single units. At this second level, the total recoverable amount of all cash-generating units
(or groups of cash-generating units) is compared to the carrying amount of all cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units), including also those cash-generating units to which no goodwill was allocated, and the corporate assets.

Intangible and tangible assets with a finite useful life

At every closing
date, the Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment of intangible and tangible assets with a finite useful life. Both internal and external sources of information are used for this purpose. Internal sources include obsolescence
or physical damage, and significant changes in the use of the asset and the economic performance of the asset compared to estimated performance. External sources include the market value of the asset, changes in technology, markets or laws, trend in
market interest rates and the cost of capital used to evaluate investments, and an excess of the carrying amount of the net assets of the Group over market capitalization.

When indicators of impairment exist, the carrying amount of the assets is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use. In calculating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in the
separate consolidated income statement.

When the conditions that gave rise to an impairment loss no longer exist, the carrying amount of the asset or
cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, up to the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the
separate consolidated income statement.

Financial instruments

Other
investments

Other investments (other than those in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures) are classified as non-current or current assets if they will be
kept in the Groups portfolio for a period of more or not more than 12 months, respectively.

Upon acquisition, investments are classified in the following
categories:



| | · |  | available-for-sale financial assets, as non-current or current assets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, as current assets held for trading.

|--------------------------------- |  | ------------------------------------------
|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



Other investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value; changes in
the fair value of these investments are recognized in a specific equity reserve under the other components of the statement of comprehensive income (Reserve for available-for-sale financial assets) until the financial asset is disposed of or
impaired, at which time the equity reserve is reversed to the separate consolidated income statement.

Other unlisted investments classified as
available-for-sale financial assets whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost adjusted by any impairment losses which are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement, as required by IAS 39
(Financial instruments: recognition and measurement).

Impairment losses recognized on other investments classified as available-for-sale financial
assets are not reversed.

Changes in the value of other investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized directly in the separate consolidated income statement.

Securities other than investments

Securities other than investments classified as non-current assets are those held to maturity. The assets are recorded on the trade date and, on initial recognition, are
stated at acquisition cost, including transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Amortized cost represents the initial cost of the financial
instrument net of principal repayments received, adjusted (up or down) by the amortization of any differences between the initial amount and the maturity amount using the effective interest method, less any writedown for impairment or
uncollectibility, if any.

Securities other than investments classified as current assets are those that, by decision of the directors, are intended to be kept in
the Groups portfolio for a period of not more than 12 months, and are included in the following categories:



| | · |  | held to maturity (originally more than 3 months but less than 12 months, or, with an original maturity of more than 12 months but the remaining maturity at the date of purchase is more than 3 months but less than 12
months) and measured at amortized cost;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | available-for-sale and measured at fair value with a contra-entry to an equity reserve (Reserve for available-for-sale financial assets) which is reversed to the separate consolidated income statement when the
financial asset is disposed of or impaired.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the conditions that gave rise to impairment losses on securities other than investments held to
maturity or classified as available-for-sale financial assets no longer exist, the impairment losses are reversed.

Receivables and loans

Receivables and loans classified as either non-current or current assets are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are recorded, according
to their nature, at nominal value or amortized cost.

Cash equivalents are short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash, subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and their original maturity or the remaining maturity at the date of purchase does not exceed 3 months.

Impairment of financial assets

At every closing date, assessments are made
as to whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. If any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement for financial assets
measured at cost or amortized cost; for available-for-sale financial assets reference should be made to the accounting policy described above.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities comprise financial debt, including advances received on the assignment of accounts receivable, and other financial liabilities such as derivatives
and finance lease obligations.

In accordance with IAS 39, they also include trade and other payables.

Financial liabilities other than derivatives are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities hedged by derivative instruments designed to manage exposure to changes in fair value of the liabilities (fair value hedge derivatives) are
measured at fair value in accordance with the hedge accounting principles of IAS 39. Gains and losses arising from re-measurement at fair value, to the extent of the hedged component, are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement and
are offset by the effective portion of the gain or loss arising from re-measurement at fair value of the hedging instrument.

Financial liabilities hedged by
derivative instruments designed to manage exposure to variability in cash flows (cash flow hedge derivatives) are measured at amortized cost in accordance with the hedge accounting principles of IAS 39.

Derivatives

Derivatives are used by the Telecom Italia Group to manage its
exposure to exchange rate and interest rate risks and to diversify the parameters of debt so that costs and volatility can be reduced to within pre-established operational limits.

In accordance with IAS 39, derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when:



| | a) | at the inception of the hedge, the hedging relationship is formally designated and documented;
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | the hedge is expected to be highly effective;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------



| | c) | its effectiveness can be reliably measured;
| | -- | -------------------------------------------



| | d) | the hedge is highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which it is designated.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All derivative
financial instruments are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 39.

When derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following
accounting treatment applies:



| | · |  | Fair value hedgeWhere a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of an asset or liability due to a particular risk, the gain or loss
from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognized in the separate consolidated income statement. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognized
in the separate consolidated income statement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Cash flow hedgeWhere a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows of an asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction, the
effective portion of any gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized directly in a specific equity reserve (Reserve for hedging instruments). The cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognized in the
separate consolidated income statement at the same time the hedged transaction affects the separate consolidated income statement. The gain or loss associated with the ineffective portion of a hedge is recognized in the separate consolidated income
statement immediately. If the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative gains or losses included in the equity reserve are immediately recognized in the separate consolidated income statement.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If hedge accounting is not appropriate, gains or losses arising from the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments are directly recognized in
the separate consolidated income statement.

Sales of receivables

The
Telecom Italia Group carries out sales of receivables under factoring arrangements in accordance with Law 52/1991. These sales, in the majority of cases, are characterized by the transfer of substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership
of the receivables to third parties, meeting IFRS requirements for derecognition. Specific servicing contracts, through which the buyer confers a mandate to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for the collection and management of the receivables, leave the
current Company/customer relationship unaffected.

Amounts due from customers on construction contracts

Amounts due from customers on construction contracts, regardless of the duration of the contracts, are recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method
and classified under current assets.

Losses on such contracts, if any, are recorded in full in the separate consolidated income statement when they become known.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of purchase and/or
production cost and estimated realizable value; cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving inventories based on their expected future use and estimated realizable value.

Non-current assets held for sale/Discontinued operations

Non-current assets
(or disposal groups) whose carrying amount will mainly be recovered through sale, rather than through ongoing use, are classified as held for sale and shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial position from other assets and
liabilities. The corresponding statement of financial position amounts for the previous year are not reclassified in the consolidated statement of financial position but are instead shown separately in a specific column in the changes in assets
and liabilities in the year in which the non-current assets held for sale or the disposal groups are classified as such. An operating asset sold (Discontinued Operations) is a component of an entity that has been disposed of or classified as
held for sale and:



| | · |  | represents a major line of business or geographical area of operations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

The results arising from Discontinued
Operationswhether disposed of or classified as held for sale  are shown separately in the separate consolidated income statement, net of tax effects. The corresponding values for the previous years, where present, are reclassified and
reported separately in the separate consolidated income statement, net of tax effects, for comparative purposes.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified
as held for sale are first recognized in compliance with the appropriate IFRS applicable to the specific assets and liabilities and subsequently measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell. Any subsequent
impairment losses are recognized as a direct adjustment to the non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale and expensed in the separate consolidated income statement.

An entity shall recognize a gain for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has
been recognized.

As required by IFRS 5 (Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations), an entity shall not depreciate (or amortize) a
non-current asset while it is classified as held for sale or while it is part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

Interest and other expenses
attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale shall continue to be recognized.

Employee benefits

Provision for employee severance indemnity

Employee severance indemnity,
mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to art. 2120 of the Italian Civil Code, is a deferred compensation and is based on the employees years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service period.

Under IAS 19 (Employee Benefits), the employee severance indemnity as calculated is considered a Defined benefit plan and the related liability
recognized in the statement of financial position (Provision for employee severance indemnities) is determined by actuarial calculations.

The remeasurements
of actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other components of other comprehensive income. Service cost of Italian companies that employ less than 50 employees, as well as interest expenses related to the time value component of the
actuarial calculations (the latter classified as Finance expenses), are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement.

Starting from January 1, 2007,
Italian Law introduced for employees the choice to direct their accruing indemnity either to supplementary pension funds or leave the indemnity as an obligation of the Company. Companies that employ at least 50 employees should transfer the employee
severance indemnity to the Treasury fund managed by INPS, the Italian Social Security Institute.

Consequently, the Groups obligation to INPS and
the contributions to supplementary pension funds take the form, under IAS 19, of a Defined contribution plan.

Equity compensation plans

The companies of the Group provide additional benefits to certain managers of the Group through equity compensation plans (stock options and long-term incentive plans).
The above plans are recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 (Share-Based Payment).

In accordance with IFRS 2, such plans represent a component of the
beneficiaries compensation. Therefore, for the plans that provide for compensation in equity instruments, the cost is represented by the fair value of such instruments at the grant date, and is recognized in the separate consolidated income
statement in Employee benefits expenses over the period between the grant date and vesting date with a contra-entry to an equity reserve denominated Other equity instruments. Changes in the fair value subsequent to the grant
date do not affect the initial measurement. At the end of each year, adjustments are made to the estimate of the number of rights that will vest up to expiry. The impact of the change in estimate is deducted from Other equity instruments
with a contra-entry to Employee benefits expenses.

For the portion of the plans that provide for the payment of compensation in cash, the amount is
recognized in liabilities as a contra-entry to Employee benefits expenses; at the end of each year such liability is measured at fair value.

Provisions

The Group records provisions for risks and charges when it has a
present obligation, legal or constructive, to a third party, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of Group resources will be required to satisfy the obligation and when the amount of the obligation can be estimated
reliably.

If the effect of the time value is material, and the payment date of the obligations can be reasonably estimated, provisions to be accrued are the
present value of the expected cash flows, taking into account the risks associated with the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as Finance expenses.

Treasury shares

Treasury shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.
In particular, the treasury shares are reported as a deduction from the share capital issued in the amount corresponding to the accounting par value, that is the

ratio of total share capital and the number of issued shares, while the excess cost of acquisition over the accounting par value is presented as a deduction from Other reserves and retained
earnings (accumulated losses), including profit (loss) for the year.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are converted at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the statement of financial position date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or from their conversion at rates different from those at which
they were initially recorded during the year or at the end of the prior year, are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement.

Revenues

Revenues are the gross inflows of economic benefits during the period arising in the course of the ordinary activities of an entity. Amounts collected on behalf of third
parties such as sales taxes, goods and services taxes and value added taxes are not economic benefits which flow to the entity and do not result in increases in equity. Therefore, they are excluded from revenues.

Revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and their amount can be measured reliably. Revenues are stated
net of discounts, allowances, and returns.



|· |  | Revenues from services rendered
|- |  | -------------------------------

Revenues from services rendered are recognized in
the separate consolidated income statement according to the stage of completion of the service and only when the outcome of the service rendered can be estimated reliably. Traffic revenues from interconnection and roaming are reported gross of the
amounts due to other TLC operators. Revenues for delivering information or other content are recognized on the basis of the amount invoiced to the customer, when the service is rendered directly by the Group. In the event that the Group is acting as
agent (for example non-geographic numbers) only the commission received from the content provider is recognized as revenue.

Revenues from the
activation of telephone services (and related costs) are deferred over the expected duration of the relationship with the customer (in Italy, generally 8 years for retail customers and 3 years for wholesale customers). In particular, costs from the
activation of telephone services are deferred taking also into account the reasonable expectations of cash flows arising from these services.

Revenues from prepaid traffic are recorded on the basis of the minutes used at the contract price per minute. Deferred revenues for unused minutes are
recorded in Trade and miscellaneous payables and other current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.



|· |  | Revenues from sales and bundled offerings
|- |  | -----------------------------------------

Revenues from sales (telephone and other
equipment) are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer.

For offerings which include the sale of
mobile handsets and service contracts, the Telecom Italia Group recognizes revenues related to the sale of the handset when it is delivered to the final customer whereas traffic revenues are recorded on the basis of the minutes used; the related
subscriber acquisition costs, including sales commissions, are expensed as incurred. The revenues allocated to the handset sale are limited to the contract amount that is not contingent upon the rendering of telecommunication services, i.e. the
residual of the amount paid by the customer exceeding the services value.

A small portion of the bundled mobile offerings involve contracts with a
minimum contractual period between 24 and 30 months which include an enforced termination penalty. For these contracts, the subscriber acquisition costs are capitalized under Intangible assets with a finite useful life if the conditions
for capitalization as described in the related accounting policy are met.

|- |  | ----------------------------------

Revenues on construction contracts are
recognized based on the stage of completion (percentage of completion method).

Research costs and advertising expenses

Research costs and advertising expenses are charged directly to the separate consolidated income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

Finance income and expenses

Finance income and expenses are recognized on an
accrual basis and include: interest accrued on the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest rate method, the changes in fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or
loss, gains and losses on foreign exchange and financial instruments (including derivatives).

Dividends

Dividends received from companies other than subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement in the year in
which they become receivable following the resolution by the shareholders meeting for the distribution of dividends of the investee companies.

Dividends
payable to third parties are reported as a change in equity in the year in which they are approved by the shareholders meeting.

Income Taxes (current and
deferred)

Income taxes include all taxes calculated on the basis of the taxable income of the companies of the Group.

Income taxes are recognized in the separate consolidated income statement, except to the extent that they relate to items directly charged or credited to equity, in
which case the related tax is recognized in the relevant equity reserves. In the Statement of comprehensive income the amount of income taxes relating to each item included as Other components of the Statement of comprehensive income is
indicated.

The income tax expense that could arise on the remittance of a subsidiarys retained earnings is only recognized where there is the actual
intention to remit such earnings.

Deferred tax liabilities / assets are recognized using the Balance sheet liability method. They are calculated on all
temporary differences that arise between the tax base of an asset or liability and the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements, except for non-tax-deductible goodwill and for those differences related to investments in subsidiaries
which will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets relating to unused tax loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which they can be utilized. Current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the income taxes are levied by the same tax authority and there is a legally enforceable right of offset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted tax rates in the
respective jurisdictions in which the Group operates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Taxes, other than income taxes, are included in Other operating expenses.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by
dividing the Groups profit attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, including the shares relating to the bond issued in November 2013 by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. with
mandatory conversion to Telecom Italia shares and excluding treasury shares. Similarly, basic earnings per savings share is calculated by dividing the Groups profit attributable to savings shares by the weighted average number of savings
shares outstanding during the year.

For diluted earnings per ordinary share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted
by all dilutive potential shares (for example, the exercise of rights on shares with dilutive effects). The Group profit is also adjusted to reflect the impact of these transactions net of the related tax effects.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and
related disclosure in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions based also on subjective judgments, past experience and hypotheses considered reasonable and realistic in relation to the information known at the time
of the estimate. Such estimates have an effect on the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the amount of revenues and costs during the year.
Actual results could differ, even significantly, from those estimates owing to possible changes in the factors considered in the determination of such estimates. Estimates are reviewed periodically.

The most important accounting estimates which require a high degree of subjective assumptions and judgments are addressed below:

|Impairment of goodwill                                                 |  | The impairment test on goodwill is carried out by comparing the carrying amount of cash-generating units and their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is
the higher of fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. This complex valuation process entails the use of methods such as the discounted cash flow method which uses assumptions to estimate cash flows. The recoverable amount depends
significantly on the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash flows and the growth rate used for the extrapolation. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash
generating units, including a sensitivity analysis, are detailed in the Note Goodwill.

|Impairment of tangible and intangible assets with a finite useful life |  | At every closing date, the Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment of tangible and
intangible assets with a finite useful life. Both internal and external sources of information are used for this purpose. The identification of impairment
indicators, the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of the fair value of each asset require management to make significant judgments including the applicable discount rate, useful life and residual value. These estimates can have a
material impact on fair value and the amount of any write-downs.

|Business combinations                                                  |  | The recognition of business combinations requires that assets and liabilities of the acquiree be recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date of control, as well as the possible
recognition of goodwill, through the use of a complex process in determining such values.

|Bad debt provision                                                     |  | The recoverability of receivables is measured by considering the uncollectibility of receivables, their age and losses on receivables recognized in the past by type of similar
receivables.

|Depreciation and amortization expense                                  |  | Changes in the economic conditions of the markets, technology and competitive forces could significantly affect the estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible non-current assets and
may lead to a difference in the timing and amount of depreciation and amortization expense.

|Accruals, contingent liabilities and employee benefits                 |  | As regards the provisions for restoration costs the estimate of future costs to dismantle tangible assets
and restore the site is a complex process that requires an assessment of the liability arising from such obligations which seldom are entirely defined by law, administrative regulations or contract clauses and which normally are to be complied with
after an interval of several years.

|                                              |  | The accruals related to legal, arbitration and fiscal disputes are the result of a complex estimation
process based upon the probability of an unfavorable outcome.  Employee benefits, especially the
provision for employee severance indemnities, are calculated using actuarial assumptions; changes in such assumptions could have a material impact on such liabilities.

|Revenues                                      |  | Revenue recognition is influenced by:

of the relationship with the customer for revenues from telephone service activations (as well as the related costs); 
·       the estimate of the
amount of discounts, allowances and returns to be recorded as a direct deduction from revenues.

|Income taxes (current and deferred)           |  | Income taxes (current and deferred) are calculated in each country in which the Group operates according to a prudent interpretation of the tax laws in effect. This process sometimes
involves complex estimates to determine taxable income and deductible and taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the taxable amounts. In particular, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that future taxable income
will be available against which they can be utilized. The measurement of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, recognized based on both unused tax loss carryforwards to future years and deductible differences, takes into account the estimate of

|Derivative instruments and equity instruments |  | The fair value of derivative instruments and equity instruments is determined both using valuation models which also take into account subjective measurements such as, for example, cash
flow estimates, expected volatility of prices, etc., or on the basis of either prices in regulated markets or quoted prices provided by financial counterparts. For further details please see also Note Supplementary disclosures on financial
instruments.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

As required by IAS 8 (Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors) par. 10, in the absence of a Standard or
an Interpretation that specifically applies to a particular transaction, management carefully considers subjective valuation techniques and uses its judgment as to the accounting methods to adopt with a view to providing financial statements which
faithfully represent the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Group, which reflect the economic substance of the transactions, are neutral, prepared on a prudent basis and complete in all material respects.

Financial DataTIM Brasil group

In
2015, aggregate cash flows generated were a negative 186 million euros, primarily due to a negative exchange rate effect of 424 million euros. In the absence of this negative exchange rate, cash flows would have been a positive 238 million euros.
Cash flows were driven, in part, by the sale of the first three tranches of telecommunications towers to American Tower do Brasil (for approximately 676 million of euros). In 2014, aggregate cash flows were a negative 12 million euros (in the
presence of a positive exchange rate of 4 million euros) and reflected, among other things, the outlay for the acquisition of the 700 MHz license (of approximately 540 million euros).

below:

The decrease of 560 million euros recognized in 2015 includes:



| | · |  | an overall reduction of 564 million euros in the goodwill of the Brazil Business Unit linked to the impairment loss of 240 million euros due to the results of the impairment testing conducted at December 31, 2015, which
compared the value in use of the Brazil Cash Generating Unit (CGU) with its recoverable amount. This impairment loss essentially reflected the worsening of the macroeconomic environment in which the local companies operate. The value of the goodwill
allocated to the Business Unit also reflects a reduction of 324 million euros due to exchange rate differences;

| | · |  | an increase of 4 million euros attributable to the Domestic Business Unit, due to the recognition of goodwill as a result of the acquisition of control and subsequent consolidation of Alfabook S.r.l.. In July 2015,
Telecom Italia Digital Solution S.p.A. acquired 100% of the company Alfabook S.r.l., operating in the digital educational publishing sector, for a price of 5 million euros. An amount of provisional goodwill was recognized with respect to that
transaction, as permitted by IFRS 3. During the 12 months following the transaction, the provisional amounts of assets and liabilities acquired may be adjusted retroactively to reflect their fair value at the acquisition date, with a related
recalculation of the value of goodwill.

Following the merger of Telecom Italia Media S.p.A. into Telecom Italia S.p.A., on September 30, 2015, the values, amounting to 46
million euros and relating to the year 2010, were reclassified from the Media Business Unit to the Domestic Business Unit.

The figures for the Brazil CGU are
stated in euros, converted at the spot exchange rate as of the closing date of the financial statements; the carrying amount of goodwill for the CGU, after the impairment loss of 887 million Brazilian reais applied during the year, corresponds to
3,854 million Brazilian reais.

Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but it is tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, in preparing the 2015
Annual Report, the Telecom Italia Group conducted impairment tests on the recoverability of the

goodwill; the results showed that the recoverable amount of the assets at December 31, 2015 was higher than the net carrying amount for the CGUs of the Domestic and Media segments, whereas an
impairment loss was identified for the Brazil CGU.

The recoverability testing was conducted at two levels: at the first level, the recoverable amount was estimated
for the assets assigned to the individual cash generating units (or groups of units) to which goodwill is allocated; at the second level, the assets of the Group as a whole were considered.

The value used to determine the recoverable amount of all the Cash Generating Units (or groups of units) to which goodwill has been allocated is the value in use.

With regard to the first level test, goodwill has been allocated to the following cash generating units (or groups of units):

|Media    |  | Persidera                                  

The estimates of the value in use are based on the forward looking financial figures drawn from the industrial plan of the Telecom
Italia Group approved by the Board of Directors. The figures of the Groups plan, which refer to a three-year period (2016-2018), were completed by data extrapolated for an additional two years: therefore the explicit forecast period for the
projection of the future cash flows includes five year period (2016-2020) for the CGUs of the Domestic and Brazil segments. For the Persidera CGU, on the other hand, a forecast lifetime of up to 2032 has been adopted, based on the duration of the
current portfolio of frequencies.

The forward looking figures are stated in the currency in which they were generated, and therefore in euro for the CGUs of the
Domestic and Media segments and in Brazilian reais for the Brazil CGU. For this unit, the recoverable amount of the assets is denominated in the functional currency and subsequently converted at the spot exchange rate on the reporting date.

The cost of capital used to discount the future cash flows in the estimate of the value in use has been determined as follows:

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | it reflects the current market estimates of the time value of money and the specific risks of the groups of assets; it includes appropriate yield premiums for country risk and the risk associated with the depreciation

| | · |  | it has been calculated using comparative market parameters to estimate the Beta coefficient and the weighting coefficient of the equity and debt capital components.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Details are provided below, for each CGU, of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC rate) used to discount the future cash flows, and the equivalent rate before
tax.

Details are also provided of the growth rates used to estimate the residual value after the explicit forecast period (the G-Rates), expressed in nominal terms
and related to the cash flows in their functional currency. Lastly, details are provided on the implicit capitalization rates, for each CGU, resulting from the difference between the cost of capital, after tax, and the G-Rate.

The growth rates of the terminal value g of the Domestic segment have been estimated taking into account the expected
outlook during the explicit forecast period and are consistent with the range of growth rates applied by the analysts who monitor Telecom Italia shares. The estimate of the growth rate for the Brazil CGU also takes into account the countrys
expected rate of inflation over the long term, as estimated by market observers.

Separate parameters for the various CGUs have also been used in the estimate of
the level of capital expenditure required to sustain the perpetual generation of cash flows after the explicit forecast period, according to the phase of capital expenditure, competitive positioning and the technological infrastructure operated.

Moreover, for the appraisal of the value in use, the Groups plan figures were adjusted according to the expected financial flows approach, on the basis of
information reasonably available, assigning greater weight to observable parameters and to information from external sources which are deemed important from the market operator perspective.

The differences between the values in use and the carrying amounts for the main CGUs considered amounted to:

For the Brazil CGU, following the impairment loss, the value in use was in line with the net carrying amounts.

For the estimate of values in use, simulations were conducted on the results with respect to changes in the relevant rate parameters. Details are provided below for the
variables needed to make the recoverable amount of the respective CGUs equal to their net carrying amount.

In addition to the value used to determine the recoverable amount of all the Units (value in use), value estimates were also made based
on various methods, chosen from those generally accepted and based on the best technical practices. In particular, reference values provided by the stock market prices of the securities of the Groups listed companies were used, together with
multipliers and other summary indicators determined, on a comparative basis, from the prices of similar assets traded in regulated markets or traded through discontinuous transactions in unregulated markets.

Concerning the value testing at overall Group level, the sum of the recoverable amounts of all the CGUs (estimated using methods consistent with the notion of value in
use or fair value) was compared against the

Other intangible assets with a finite useful life at December 31, 2015, included 69 million euros of capitalized subscriber acquisition
costs (SAC) (63 million euros for the Parent and 6 million euros for the Brazil Business Unit), mainly related to commissions for the sales network on consumer contracts with a set contractual term. Subscriber acquisition costs are amortized over
the underlying minimum contract period (between 24 or 30 months).

Work in progress and advance payments include the acquisition by the Parent of the user rights to
the L Band frequencies (1452-1492 MHz) for terrestrial electronic communications systems (231 million euros), following participation in a tender for assignment of the frequencies by the Ministry of Economic Development. The rights were
officially awarded on September 14 and were definitively assigned in December 2015. Use of such rights commenced in January 2016.

The item also includes user
rights for the 700 MHz frequencies, acquired in 2014 by the TIM Brasil group for a total of 2.9 billion reais. The assignment of the license also entailed participation in the consortium that will carry out the cleaning up of the 700 MHz spectrum,
currently used by television broadcasters. Since the assets require a period of more than 12 months to be ready for use, in 2015, borrowing costs of 73 million euros have been capitalized, as they are directly attributable to the acquisition. The
yearly rate used for the capitalization of borrowing costs is 13.25%. Capitalized borrowing costs in reais have been recorded as a direct reduction of the income statement item Finance expensesInterest expenses to banks.

Amortization and impairment losses are recorded in the income statement as components of the operating result.

The gross carrying amount, accumulated impairment losses and accumulated amortization at December 31, 2015 and 2014 can be summarized as follows:

Patents and intellectual property rights included disposals related to abandonment or rewriting of software (for applications and
installations operation) by the Parent Company for a gross carrying amount of 690 million euros, which generated an overall loss of a non-significant amount.

Impairment losses on Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights, relating mainly to reporting periods prior to 2004, refer to the Indefeasible
Rights of Use (IRU) for the transmission capacity and cables for international connections acquired by the LanMed group. The change in the amount shown for 2015 compared to the previous year, is essentially due to the conversion into euros of
accounts denominated in US dollars.

The item Other intangible assets with a finite useful life, includes gross disposals of 252 million euros of Telecom
Italia S.p.A. connected with Subscriber Acquisition Costs (SAC) that have been substantially amortized.

Buildings (civil and industrial) almost exclusively includes buildings for industrial use hosting telephone exchanges
or for office use, and light constructions. The figure at the end of 2015 was mainly attributable to Telecom Italia S.p.A. (259 million euros).

In 2015, four
properties and the related land, previously leased under financial leases, were also purchased for a total of 176 million euros. The purchase resulted in an addition of 117 million euros under the item Buildings (civil and industrial)
and of 23 million euros under the item Land. In addition, the column Other changes includes 55 million euros for the reclassification of the remaining value of these properties, from assets held under finance leases and the
related improvements made.

Plant and equipment includes the aggregate of all the structures used for the operation of voice and data telephone traffic. The figure,
at December 31, 2015, was mainly attributable to Telecom Italia S.p.A. (8,385 million euros) and to companies of the Brazil Business Unit (1,934 million euros).

With regard to the depreciation of the passive infrastructure of the mobile telephone Base Transceiver Stations, effective January 1, 2015, Telecom Italia has revised
their useful life from 13 to 28 years and applied this change on a prospective basis.

This revision was made to account for the update of the average expected
duration of the leases for areas that infrastructure is located on, as well as the value generated by such assets, particularly through the subsidiary INWIT S.p.A., and their technical obsolescence.

In particular, the useful lives were updated on the basis of the average duration of the leases, as well as of an appraisal by an external expert.

As a result, in 2015, 24 million euros less of depreciation expense was recognized for the period.

The lower estimated depreciation for future periods may be broken down as follows:



|· |  | 24 million euros for the year 2016;
|- |  | -----------------------------------



|· |  | 22 million euros for the year 2017;
|- |  | -----------------------------------

Manufacturing and distribution equipment consists of instruments and equipment used
for the running and maintenance of plant and equipment; the amount was essentially in line with the end of the prior year and primarily related to Telecom Italia S.p.A..

The item Other mainly consists of hardware for the functioning of the Data Center and for work stations, furniture and fixtures and, to a minimal extent, transport
vehicles and office machines.

Construction in progress and advance payments refer to the internal and external costs incurred for the acquisition and internal
production of tangible assets, which are not yet in use.

Additions in 2015 increased by 662 million euros and included 344 million euros of internally generated
assets (278 million euros in 2014). Further details are provided in the Note Internally generated assets.

The increase, in addition to the impact of
the above-mentioned purchase of four properties, was mainly due to higher investments in the development of ultra-broadband networks in the Fixed-line and Mobile segments.

Depreciation, impairment losses and reversals have been recorded in the income statement as components of the operating result.

Depreciation for the years 2015 and 2014 is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets according to the following minimum and
maximum rates:

The impairment losses on Plant and equipment, mainly relating to years prior to 2004, are attributable to the LanMed group.
The change in the amount shown for 2015 compared to the previous year, is essentially due to the conversion into euros of accounts denominated in US dollars.

With
regard to the gross carrying amounts of tangible assets, in 2015 Telecom Italia S.p.A. carried out disposals for a gross carrying amount of 455 million euros mainly in relation to fully depreciated assets. Disposals mainly involved plant and
equipment for around 435 million euros.

The additions consisted of improvements and incremental costs incurred for movable and immovable third-party assets used on the basis of
finance lease agreements.

The item Buildings (civil and industrial) includes buildings under long rent contracts and related building adaptations, almost
exclusively attributable to Telecom Italia S.p.A..

In late 2014, Telecom Italia launched a major real estate project, aimed at restructuring the use of industrial
space in line with the evolution of next-generation networks and optimizing the number of office/other buildings by creating functional hubs that employ a modern and more efficient use of space.

The project involves a restructuring process, the closure of some properties and renegotiations of agreements with owners, aimed at increasing efficiency and cutting
costs, mainly by extending contract terms and reducing lease payments. In particular, with respect to 2015:



|· |  | properties of strategic importance were identified on the basis of their current and future use and technological evolution of the network and the new ICT services. Four of these properties were purchased in 2015, while
the contract for a fifth one, part of the Acilia complex in Rome, was renegotiated as described below;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|· |  | the renegotiation and/or termination of new contracts was completed for about 750 real estate leases. Prior to these renegotiations, in accordance with IAS 17 (Leases), more than half of these contracts were classified
as operating leases with consequent recognition of the rent under lease and rental costs in the income statement; the remaining contracts were defined as finance leases, and were therefore accounted for with the recognition of Tangible
AssetProperties and the related financial debt in the statement of financial position. The renegotiation and/or termination of new contracts resulted in the reclassification of operating leases to finance leases and, with respect to properties
with contracts that were already classified as finance leases, in a re-assessment of the value of the property and the related payable. This resulted in an overall impact on the statement of financial position, at December 31, 2015, of
1,178 million euros in terms of higher tangible assets (Land and Buildings) and related payables for finance leases.

Also pursuant to the
above-mentioned project, in August of 2015, a long-term rental agreement for part of the Acilia complex in Rome was terminated early (extinguishing 14 million euros of remaining financial debt and leading to the recognition of a gain of 8 million
euros). Simultaneously, a new finance lease agreement, containing a purchase option upon expiration of the agreement, was signed for this property with a recognition of higher tangible assets and related liability for a total of 73
million euros (of which 16 million euros for land and 57 million euros for buildings). This sum is included in the 1,178 million euros value mentioned above.

The
plant and equipment item includes the recognition of the value of the telecommunications towers sold by the TIM Brasil group to American Tower do Brasil and subsequently leased back subject to a finance lease for 1,245 million reais (around 337
million euros).

Under the transaction, the gain for the tangible assets not yet transferred has been classified under deferred income (1,003 million reais or
approximately 271 million euros).

At December 31, 2015, the Telecom Italia Group had unused tax loss carryforwards of 2,611 million euros mainly relating
to the Brazil Business Unit and the companies Telecom Italia Finance and Telecom Italia International, with the following expiration dates:

Tax loss carryforwards considered in the calculation of deferred tax assets amounted to 273 million euros at December 31, 2015 (557
million euros at December 31, 2014) and mainly referred to the Brazil Business Unit. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is considered probable that taxable income will be available in the future against which the tax losses can be utilized.

On the other hand, deferred tax assets of 703 million euros (802 million euros at December 31, 2014) have not been recognized on 2,338 million euros of tax loss
carryforwards since, at this time, their recoverability is not considered probable.

At December 31, 2015, deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized on
approximately 1 billion euros of tax-suspended reserves and undistributed earnings of subsidiaries, because the Telecom Italia Group is in a position to control the timing of the distribution of those reserves and it is probable that those
accumulated earnings will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The contingent liabilities relating to taxes that should be recognized, if these reserves are distributed, are in any case not significant.

Income tax payables

Income tax payables amounted to 159 million euros
(95 million euros at December 31, 2014). They were broken down as follows:



|                     |  |                     |     |  |      |  |    |

|                     |  | At December 31,     |    
|                     |  | 2015                |     |  | 2014 | 
|                     |  | (millions of euros) |    
|Income tax payables: |  |                     |     |  |      |  |    | 
|Non-current          |  |                     | 49  |  |      |  | 59 | 
|Current              |  |                     | 110 |  |      |  | 36 | 
|                     |  |                     |     |  |      |  |    | 
|Total                |  |                     | 159 |  |      |  | 95 | 
|                     |  |                     |     |  |      |  |    | 

Specifically, the non-current portion, amounting to 49 million euros, related entirely to the Brazil Business Unit, while the current
portion, amounting to 110 million euros, related primarily to the Domestic Business Unit (78 million euros) and the Brazil Business Unit (30 million euros).

Income tax expense

This item amounted to 721 million euros and
includes the Income tax expense from Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale. It fell by 497 million euros relative to 2014 (1,218 million euros) mainly due to the lower tax base of Telecom Italia and the full deductibility of labor
costs from the IRAP tax base introduced by Article 1, subsection 20 of the 2015 Stability Law (Law no. 190/14), which resulted in a reduction of around 60 million euros.

The allocation of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects a reduction to 24% of the IRES tax rate effective in 2017, introduced by the 2016 Stability Law (Law no.
208/15) in Article 1, subsection 61. The impact on the income statement in terms of deferred tax was a higher income tax expense of around 31 million euros.

The reconciliation between the theoretical tax expense, using the IRES tax rate in force in Italy (27.5%), and the effective tax expense
for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 is the following:

For the analysis of the tax burden related to the Profit (loss) before tax from continuing operations, the impact of IRAP tax has not
been taken into consideration in order to avoid any distorting effect, since that tax only applies to Italian companies and is calculated on a tax base other than pre-tax profit.

Share capital increased by 16 million euros mainly as a result of the following:



| | · |  | 9 million euros, due to the free allocation of ordinary shares in August 2015at a ratio of 1 bonus share for every 3 subscribed sharesas part of the Broad-Based Share Ownership Plan 2014,
approved by the Shareholders Meeting of Telecom Italia S.p.A. of April 17, 2013 and commenced in June 2014. As a result of this transaction, a total of 17,007,927 ordinary shares were issued. For further details see the description provided in
the Note Equity compensation plans;

| | · |  | 7 million euros, following the conversion of Telecom Italia Media shares into Telecom Italia S.p.A. shares, resulting from the capital increase to service the exchange of shares as part of the merger of Telecom Italia
Media into Telecom Italia S.p.A. that took place on September 30, 2015, effective retroactively on January 1, 2015. In particular, at the same time as the merger, the right of withdrawal pursuant to law exercised on 7,553,485 ordinary shares and
1,902,484 savings shares of Telecom Italia Media took effect, and those shares were acquired in full by Telecom Italia S.p.A. and the other shareholders of the company that did not exercise the withdrawal right, at a unit price of 1.055 euros for
each ordinary share and 0.6032 euros for each savings share. As a result of the merger, the Telecom Italia Media shares not held by Telecom Italia S.p.A. were exchanged with newly-issued shares, with no par value, of the acquiring company, according
to the following ratios:
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0.66 new ordinary shares of Telecom Italia with the same dividend entitlement as the existing Telecom Italia ordinary shares as of the date of effect of the Merger, for each ordinary share of Telecom Italia Media;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0.47 new savings shares of Telecom Italia with the same dividend entitlement as the existing Telecom Italia savings shares as of the date of effect of the Merger, for each savings share of Telecom Italia Media.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The share capital of Telecom Italia S.p.A. was consequently increased, to service the exchange, by a nominal amount of 7,392,540.65 euros, through

In the shareholder resolutions passed to increase share capital against cash payments, the pre-emptive right can be
excluded to the extent of a maximum of ten percent of the pre-existing share capital, on condition that the issue price corresponds to the market price of the shares and that this is confirmed in a specific report issued by the firm charged with the
audit of the Company.

The Group sources itself with the capital necessary to fund its requirements for business development and operations; the sources of funds
are found in a balanced mix of equity, permanently invested by the shareholders, and debt capital, to guarantee a balanced financial structure and minimize the total cost of capital, with a resulting advantage to all the stakeholders.

Debt capital is structured according to different maturities and currencies to ensure an adequate diversification of the sources of funding and an efficient access to
external sources of financing (taking advantage of the best opportunities offered in the financial markets of the euro, U.S. dollar and Pound sterling areas to minimize costs), taking care to reduce the refinancing risk.

The remuneration of equity is proposed by the board of directors to the shareholders meeting, which meets to approve the annual financial statements, based upon
market trends and business performance, once all the other obligations are met, including debt servicing. Therefore, in order to guarantee an adequate remuneration of capital, safeguard company continuity and business development, the Group
constantly monitors the change in debt levels in relation to equity, the level of net debt and the operating margin of industrial operations.

RIGHTS OF SAVINGS
SHARES

The rights of the Telecom Italia S.p.A. savings shares are indicated below:



| | · |  | the profit shown in the duly approved separate financial statements, less the amount appropriated to the legal reserve, must be distributed to the holders of savings shares in an amount up to 5% of the 0.55 euros

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | after assigning preferred dividends to the savings shares, the distribution of which is approved by the shareholders meeting, the remaining profit shall be assigned to all the shares so that the savings shares

| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | if in any one year dividends of below 5% of the 0.55 euros per share are paid to the savings shares, the difference is carried over and added to the preferred dividends for the next two successive years;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | in the case of the distribution of reserves, the savings shares have the same rights as ordinary shares. Moreover, the shareholders meeting called to approve the separate financial statements for the year can,
when there is no profit or insufficient profit reported in those separate financial statements to satisfy the rights of the savings shares, resolve to satisfy the dividend right and/or the additional right by distributing available reserves;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the reduction of share capital as a result of losses does not affect the savings shares except for the amount of the loss which is not covered by the portion of the share capital represented by the other shares;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | upon the wind-up of Telecom Italia S.p.A., the savings shares have a pre-emptive right in the reimbursement of capital up to the amount of 0.55 euros per share;

| | · |  | in the event of the cessation of trading in the Companys ordinary or savings shares, the holder of savings shares may ask Telecom Italia S.p.A. to convert its shares into ordinary shares, according to the manner
resolved by the special session of the shareholders meeting called for that purpose within two months of being excluded from trading.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In June and July 2015, an IPO was successfully completed for the ordinary shares of INWIT S.p.A. on the Electronic Stock Exchange
organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., which was followed in July by the exercise of the greenshoe option.A total of 39.97% of the capital of the investors was sold to third parties. This transaction did not result in a loss of
control for the Telecom Italia Group over INWIT and was therefore treated as a transaction between shareholders in accordance with the accounting standards. Accordingly, no impacts were recognized in the consolidated income statements and the
effects of the transaction were recognized directly as an increase in Equity attributable to Owners of the Parent of 279 million euros and Equity attributable to non-controlling interests of 560 million euros.

The Bond series convertible into ordinary shares was accounted for by recognizing:



| | · |  | a debt component, for an amount equal to the fair value of an identical liability issued by the Company at market conditions, but without conversion rights. This component has been recognized at amortized cost;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | an equity component, calculated on a residual basis, for the remaining portion up to the amount of the proceeds received from the issue. This equity component (amounting to 186 million euros) will no longer be
remeasured.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The costs of the issue have been allocated proportionately to the debt component and the equity component.

The nominal repayment amount of the bonds and convertible bonds totals 22,947 million euros, down 1,967 million euros compared to December 31, 2014
(24,914 million euros) as a result of the new issues, repayments and buybacks in 2015.

other than the insolvency of the Telecom Italia Group. Furthermore, the repayment of the bonds and the payment of interest are not covered by specific guarantees nor are there commitments
provided relative to the assumption of future guarantees, except for the full and unconditional guarantees provided by Telecom Italia S.p.A. for the bonds issued by Telecom Italia Finance S.A. and Telecom Italia Capital S.A.

Since these bonds have been placed principally with institutional investors in major world capital markets (Euromarket and the U.S.A.), the terms which regulate the
bonds are in line with market practice for similar transactions effected on these same markets. Consequently, for example, there are commitments not to use the companys assets as collateral for loans (negative pledges).

With reference to the loans taken out by Telecom Italia S.p.A. (Telecom Italia) from the European Investment Bank (EIB), at December 31, 2015,
the nominal amount of outstanding loans amounted to 2,550 million euros, of which 1,100 million euros at direct risk and 1,450 million euros secured.

EIB loans
not secured by bank guarantees for a nominal amount equal to 1,100 million euros only need to apply the following covenants:



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



| | · |  | with the 500 million euro loan, signed on December 14, 2015, Telecom Italia guaranteed that, for the entire duration of the loan, the total financial debt of the Group companies, excluding Telecom Italia, will be lower
than 35% (thirty-five percent) of the Groups total financial debt. This guarantee does not include other debt that is fully and irrevocably secured by Telecom Italia.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EIB loans secured by banks or entities approved by the EIB for a nominal amount of 1,450 million euros and the 300 million euro loan, signed on July 30, 2014 and
the 500 million euro loan, signed on December 14, 2015 the following covenants apply :



| | · |  | Inclusion clause, covering a total of 1.65 billion euros of loans, under which, in the event Telecom Italia commits to uphold financial covenants in other loan contracts (and even more restrictive clauses
for 2014 and 2015 direct risk loans, including, for instance, cross default clauses and commitments restricting the sale of goods) that are not present in or are stricter than those granted to the EIB, the EIB will have the right, if, in its
reasonable opinion, it considers that such changes may have a negative impact on Telecom Italias financial capacity, to request further guarantees or the modification of the loan contract to include an equivalent provision in favor of the EIB;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Network Event, covering a total of 1,350 million euros of loans, under which, in the event of the disposal of the entire fixed network, or of a substantial part (in any case more than half in quantitative
terms) to third parties or in the event of disposal of the controlling interest in the company in which the network or a sustantial part of it has previously been transferred, Telecom Italia must immediately inform EIB, which shall have the option
of requiring the establishment of guarantees or amendment of the loan contract or an alternative solution.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The loan agreements of Telecom Italia
S.p.A. do not contain financial covenants (e.g. ratios such as Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/Interests, etc.) which would oblige the Company to repay the outstanding loan if the covenants are not observed.

The loan agreements contain the usual other types of covenants, including the commitment not to use the Companys assets as collateral for loans (negative
pledges), the commitment not to change the business purpose or sell the assets of the Company unless specific conditions exist (e.g. the sale takes place at fair market value). Covenants with basically the same content are also found in the export
credit loan agreement.

In the Loan Agreements and the Bonds, Telecom Italia is required to provide notification of change of control. Whether a change of control
has occurred and the applicable consequences, including the establishment of guarantees, acceleration and/or cancellation, are specifically provided for in the individual agreements.

In addition, the outstanding loans generally contain a commitment by Telecom Italia, whose breach is an Event of
Default, not to implement mergers, demergers or transfer of business, involving entities outside the Group. Such Event of Default may entail, upon request of the Lender, the early redemption of the drawn amounts and/or the annulment of the undrawn
commitment amounts.

In the documentation of the loans granted to certain companies of the TIM Brasil group, the companies must generally respect certain financial
ratios (e.g. capitalization ratios, ratios for servicing debt and debt ratios) as well as the usual other covenants, under pain of a request for the early repayment of the loan.

Finally, as of December 31, 2015, no covenant, negative pledge clause or other clause relating to the above-described debt position, has in any way been breached or
violated.

NOTE 17FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial risk management objectives and policies of the Telecom Italia Group

The Telecom Italia Group is exposed to the following financial risks in the ordinary course of its business operations:



| | · |  | market risk: stemming from changes in interest rates and exchange rates in connection with financial assets that have been originated and financial liabilities that have been assumed;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | credit risk: representing the risk of the non-fulfillment of the obligations undertaken by the counterpart with regard to the liquidity investments of the Group;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | liquidity risk: connected with the need to meet short-term financial commitments.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These financial risks are managed by:



| | · |  | the definition, at a central level, of guidelines for directing operations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the work of an internal committee which monitors the level of exposure to market risks consistently with prefixed general objectives;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the identification of the most suitable financial instruments, including derivatives, to reach prefixed objectives;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the monitoring of the results achieved;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| | · |  | the exclusion of the use of financial instruments for speculative purposes.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The policies for the management and the
sensitivity analyses of the above financial risks by the Telecom Italia Group are described below.

Identification of risks and analyses

The Telecom Italia Group is exposed to market risks as a result of changes in interest rates and exchange rates in the markets in which it operates or has
bond issues, principally Europe, the United States, Great Britain and Latin America.

The financial risk management policies of the Telecom Italia Group are
directed towards diversifying market risks, hedging exchange rate risk in full and minimizing interest rate exposure by an appropriate diversification of the portfolio, which is also achieved by using carefully selected derivative financial
instruments.

The Group sets an optimum composition for the fixed-rate and variable-rate debt structure and uses derivative financial instruments to achieve that
prefixed composition. In consideration of the Groups operating activities, the optimum combination of medium/long-term non-current financial liabilities has been established, on the basis of the nominal amount, in the range 65%  75% for
the fixed-rate component and 25%  35% for the variable-rate component.

In managing market risk, the Group has adopted Guidelines on Financial risk
management and control and mainly uses the following financial derivatives:



| | · |  | Interest Rate Swaps (IRS), to modify the profile of the original exposure to interest rate risks on loans and bonds, both fixed or variable;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Cross Currency and Interest Rate Swaps (CCIRS) and Currency Forwards: used to convert loans and bonds issued in currencies other than europrincipally in U.S. dollars and British poundsto the functional
currencies of the operating companies.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derivative financial instruments are designated as fair value hedges for managing exchange rate and interest
rate risk on instruments denominated in currencies other than euro and for the managing interest rate risk on fixed-rate loans. Derivative financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges when the objective is to pre-fix the exchange rate of
future transactions and the interest rate.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



All derivative financial instruments are entered into with banking and financial counterparts with at least a
BBB- rating from Standard & Poors or equivalent rating. The exposure to the various market risks can be measured by sensitivity analyses, as set forth in IFRS 7. This analysis illustrates the effects produced by a given and
assumed change in the levels of the relevant variables in the various reference markets (exchange rates, interest rates and prices) on finance income and expenses and, at times, directly on equity. The sensitivity analysis was performed based on the
suppositions and assumptions indicated below:



| | · |  | sensitivity analyses were performed by applying reasonably likely changes in the relevant risk variables to the amounts in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2015;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the changes in value of fixed-rate financial instruments, other than derivatives, produced by changes in the reference interest rates, generate an impact on profit only when, in accordance with IAS 39, they are
accounted for at their fair value. All fixed-rate instruments, which are accounted for at amortized cost, are not subject to interest rate risk as defined by IFRS 7;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | in the case of fair value hedge relationships, fair value changes of the underlying hedged item and of the derivative instrument, due to changes in the reference interest rates, offset each other almost entirely in the
income statement for the year. As a result, these financial instruments are not exposed to interest rate risk;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the changes in value of designated financial instruments in a cash flow hedge relationship, produced by changes in interest rates, generate an impact on the debt level and on equity; accordingly they are included in
this analysis;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the changes in value, produced by changes in the reference interest rates, of variable-rate financial instruments, other than derivatives, which are not part of a cash flow hedge relationship, generate an impact on the
finance income and expenses for the year; accordingly they are included in this analysis.

Price riskEmbedded option of the mandatory
convertible bond issued by the subsidiary Telecom Italia Finance S.A.

The measurement for accounting purposes of the embedded option of the mandatory
convertible bond issued in November 2013 by the subsidiary Telecom Italia Finance S.A. for an amount of 1.3 billion euros (Guaranteed Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due 2016 convertible into ordinary shares of Telecom Italia
S.p.A.) is dependent on various factors including the performance of the ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A.

With respect to the value at December 31,
2015, if the ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A., with other valuation factors remaining equal, increase by 10%, the value of the embedded option would suffer a negative change of 176 million euros, whereas for a decrease of 10%, the change
would be positive by 68 million euros.

Exchange rate riskSensitivity analysis

At December 31, 2015 (and also at December 31, 2014), the exchange risk of the Groups loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the
consolidated financial statements was hedged in full. Accordingly, a sensitivity analysis has not been performed on the exchange risk.

Interest rate
riskSensitivity analysis

The change in interest rates on the variable component of payables and liquidity may lead to higher or lower finance income and
expenses, while the changes in the level of the expected interest rate affect the fair value measurement of the Groups derivatives. In particular:



| | · |  | with regard to derivatives that convert the liabilities contracted by the Group to fixed rates (cash flow hedging), in line with international accounting standards that regulate hedge accounting, the fair value
(mark-to-market) measurement of such instruments is set aside in a specific unavailable Equity reserve. The combined change of the numerous market variables to which the mark-to-market calculation is subject between the transaction inception date
and the measurement date renders any assumption about the trend of the variables of little significance. As the contract expiration date approaches, the accounting effects described will gradually be absorbed until they cease to exist;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | if at December 31, 2015 the interest rates in the various markets in which the Telecom Italia Group operates had been 100 basis points higher/lower compared to the actual rates, then higher/lower finance expenses,
before the net fiscal impact, would have been recognized in the income statement of 60 million euros (57 million euros at December 31, 2014).

Allocation of the financial structure between fixed rate and variable rate

As for the allocation of the financial structure between the fixed-rate component and the variable-rate component, for both financial assets and liabilities, reference
should be made to the following tables. They show the nominal repayment/investment amount (insofar as that amount expresses the effective interest rate exposure of the Group) and, as far as financial assets are concerned, the intrinsic nature
(financial characteristics and duration) of the transactions under consideration rather than just the stated contractual terms alone. Bearing that in mind, a transaction whose characteristics (short or very short time frame and frequent renewal) are
such that the interest rate is periodically reset on the basis of market parameters, even though the contract does not call for re-fixing the interest rate (such as in the case of bank deposits), has been considered in the category of variable rate.

With regard to variable-rate financial instruments, the contracts provide for revisions of the relative parameters to take place within
the subsequent 12 months.

Effective interest rate

As to the
effective interest rate, for the categories where that parameter can be determined, such parameter refers to the original transaction net of the effect of any derivative hedging instruments.

The disclosure, since it is provided by class of financial asset and liability, was determined, for purposes of calculating the weighted average, using the carrying
amount adjusted by accruals, prepayments, deferrals and changes in fair value: this is therefore the amortized cost, net of accruals and any changes in fair value as a consequence of hedge accounting.

As for financial
assets, the weighted average effective interest rate is not essentially influenced by the existence of derivatives.

As for market risk management using
derivatives, reference should be made to the Note Derivatives.

Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk for the Telecom Italia Group consists of possible losses that could arise from the failure of either commercial or financial counterparts to
fulfill their assumed obligations. Such exposure mainly stems from general economic and financial factors, the potential occurrence of specific insolvency situations of some borrowers and other more strictly technical-commercial or administrative
factors.

The Telecom Italia Groups maximum theoretical exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets and trade
receivables recorded in the financial statements.

Risk related to trade receivables is managed using customer scoring and analysis systems. For specific categories
of trade receivables the Group also makes use of factoring, mainly on a non-recourse basis.

Provision charges for bad debts are recorded for specific
credit positions that have an element of individual risk. On credit positions that do not have such characteristics, provision charges are recorded by customer segment according to the average uncollectibility estimated on the basis of statistics.
Further details are provided in the Note Trade and miscellaneous receivables and other current assets.

For the credit risk relating to the asset
components which contribute to the determination of Net financial debt, it should be noted that the management of the Groups liquidity is guided by conservative criteria and is principally based on the following:



| | · |  | money market management: the investment of temporary excess cash resources;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | bond portfolio management: the investment of a permanent level of liquidity and the investment of that part of medium term liquidity, as well as the improvement in the average yield.

In order to limit the risk of the non-fulfillment of the obligations undertaken by the counterparty, deposits of the
European companies are made with leading banking and financial institutions rated no lower than investment grade. Investments by the companies in South America are made with leading local counterparties. Moreover, deposits are made
generally for periods of less than three months. With regard to other temporary investments of liquidity, there is a bond portfolio in which the investments have a low level of risk. All investments have been carried out in compliance with the Group
Guidelines on Financial risk management and control.

In order to minimize credit risk, the Group also pursues a diversification policy for its
investments of liquidity and allocation of its credit positions among different banking counterparties. Consequently, there are no significant positions with any one single counterparty.

Liquidity risk

The Group pursues the objective of achieving an
adequate level of financial flexibility which is expressed by maintaining a current treasury margin to cover the refinancing requirements at least for the next 12 months with irrevocable bank lines and liquidity.

Over 11% of gross financial debt at December 31, 2015 (nominal repayment amount) will become due in the next 12 months.

Current financial assets at December 31, 2015, together with unused committed bank lines, ensure complete coverage of debt repayment obligations also beyond the next 24
months.

The following tables report the contractual cash flows, not discounted to present value, relative to gross financial debt at nominal repayment amounts and
the interest flows, determined using the terms and the interest and exchange rates in place at December 31, 2015. The portions of principal and interest of the hedged liabilities include both the disbursements and the receipts of the relative
hedging derivatives. Does not include Liabilities directly associated with Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale of a financial nature.

Market value of derivatives

In order
to determine the fair value of derivatives, the Telecom Italia Group uses various valuation models.

The mark-to-market calculation is determined by the present
value discounting of the interest and notional future contractual flows using market interest rates and exchange rates.

The notional amount of IRS does not
represent the amount exchanged between the parties and therefore does not constitute a measurement of credit risk exposure which, instead, is limited to the amount of the difference between the interest rates paid/received.

The market value of CCIRSs, instead, also depends on the differential between the reference exchange rate at the date of signing the contract and the exchange rate at
the date of measurement, since CCIRSs involve the exchange of the reference interest and principal, in the respective currencies of denomination.

The options are
measured according to the Black & Scholes or Binomial models and involve the use of various measurements factors, such as: time horizon of the life of the option, the risk-free rate of return, the current price, volatility and any cash flows
(e.g. dividend) of the underlying instrument, and the exercise price.

NOTE 18DERIVATIVES

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Telecom Italia Group to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange rate risk and the change in commodity prices and the
management of interest rate risk and also to diversify the parameters of debt so that costs and volatility can be reduced to within predetermined operational limits.

Derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2015 are principally used to manage debt positions. They include interest rate swaps (IRS) to reduce interest rate
exposure on fixed-rate and variable-rate bank loans and bonds, as well as cross currency and interest rate swaps (CCIRS), and currency forwards to convert the loans/receivables secured in currencies different from the functional currencies of the
various Group companies.

IRS transactions, provide for or may entail, at specified maturity dates, the exchange of flows of interest, calculated on the notional
amount, at the agreed fixed or variable rates.

The same also applies to CCIRS transactions which, in addition to the settlement of periodic interest flows, may
provide for the exchange of principal, in the respective currencies of denomination, at maturity or spot.

|(**) | On the 2009 issue in GBP there are two hedges, in FVH and CFH; accordingly, although it is a single issue, the notional amount of the hedge is included in both the FVH and CFH groupings.
|---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(***) | The notional amount of the FX options is reflected in both the CFH section and the NH section because only the intrinsic value portion is documented in the hedge accounting, whereas the time value is treated as a NH
derivative.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The category Non-Hedge Accounting derivatives also includes the embedded option of the mandatory convertible bond issued by
the subsidiary Telecom Finance S.A. amounting to 1.3 billion euros. This component, embedded in the financial instrument, has a notional amount equal to the amount of the loan.

The hedging of cash flows by Cash Flow Hedges derivatives was considered highly effective and at December 31, 2015 led to:



| | · |  | recognition in equity of unrealized gains of 553 million euros;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | reversal from equity to the income statement of net income from exchange rate adjustments of 854 million euros.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, at December 31, 2015, the total loss of the hedging instruments still recognized in equity amounted to approximately zero due to the effect of transactions
early terminated over the years. The positive impact reversed to the income statement during 2015 is approximately zero.

The method selected to test the effectiveness retrospectively and, whenever the principal terms do not fully coincide, prospectively,
for cash flow hedge derivatives, is the Volatility Risk Reduction (VRR) Test. This test assesses the ratio between the portfolio risk (where the portfolio means the derivative and the item hedged) and the risk of the hedged item taken
separately. In essence, the portfolio risk must be significantly less than the risk of the hedged item.

The ineffective portion recognized in the income statement
from designated cash flow hedge derivatives during 2015 was positive by 21 million euros (without considering the effects due to the application of Credit Value Adjustment/Debt Value AdjustmentCVA/DVA).

NOTE 19SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Measurement at fair value

For the purposes of the comparative information
between the carrying amounts and fair value of financial instruments, required by IFRS 7, the majority of the non-current financial liabilities of the Telecom Italia Group consists of bonds, whose fair value is directly observable in the financial
markets, as they are financial instruments that due to their size and diffusion among investors, are commonly traded on the relevant markets (see the Note Financial assets (non-current and current)). For other types of financing,
however, the following assumptions have been made in determining fair value:



| | · |  | for variable-rate loans: the nominal repayment amount has been assumed;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | for fixed-rate loans: the present value of future cash flows, using market interest rates at December 31, 2015, has been assumed;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | for some types of loans granted by government institutions for social development purposes, for which fair value cannot be reliably calculated, the carrying amount has been used.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, for the majority of financial assets, their carrying amount constitutes a reasonable approximation of their fair value since these are short-term
investments that are readily convertible into cash.

The fair value measurement of the financial instruments of the Group is classified according to the three
levels set out in IFRS 7. In particular, the fair value hierarchy introduces three levels of input:



| | · |  | Level 1: quoted prices in active market;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| | · |  | Level 2: prices calculated using observable market inputs;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | Level 3: prices calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Provision for employee severance
indemnities only refers to Italian companies and decreased overall by 13 million euros. The reduction of 22 million euros under Decreases relates to indemnities paid during the period to employees who terminated employment or for
advances. The increase of 6 million euros in the column Increases/Present value consists of the following:

|(*) | Following the social security reform in 2007, the portions intended for the INPS Treasury Fund or for the supplementary pension funds have been recorded under Employee benefits expenses, in Social
security expenses, and not as Employee severance indemnities expenses. The latter account will still be used only for the accruals of companies with less than 50 employees, amounting to 0.3 million euros in 2015 (essentially
unchanged compared to 2014).

The net actuarial gains recognized at December 31, 2015, totaling 16 million euros (a net actuarial loss of
209 million euros in 2014), are essentially the result of the change in the discount rate of 2.03% applied, from the 1.89% of December 31, 2014. To take account of the expected future progressive increase in the inflation rate, which is
currently particularly low, the rate has been differentiated over the individual years for the actuarial calculation, as detailed further below.

According to
national law, the amount of provision for employee severance indemnities to which each employee is entitled depends on the period of service and must be paid when the employee leaves the company. The amount of severance indemnity due upon
termination of employment is calculated on the basis of the period of employment and the taxable compensation of each employee. This liability is adjusted annually based on the official cost-of-living index and legally-set interest. The liability is
not associated with any vesting condition or period or any funding obligation; accordingly, there are no assets servicing the provision.

Under the regulations
introduced by Italian Legislative Decree 252/2005 and Law 296/2006 (the State Budget Law 2007), for companies with at least 50 employees, the severance indemnities accruing from 2007 are assigned, as elected by the employees, to either the INPS
Treasury Fund or to supplementary pension funds and take the form of a defined contribution plan.

However, for all companies, the revaluations of the amounts in the provision for employee severance indemnities
existing at the election date, and also the amounts accrued and not assigned to supplementary pension plans for companies with less than 50 employees, are retained in the provision for employee severance indemnities. In accordance with IAS 19
(2011), the provision has been recognized as a defined benefit plan.

In application of IAS 19, the employee severance indemnities have been calculated
using the Projected Unit Credit Method as follows:



| | · |  | the future possible benefits which could be paid to each employee registered in the program in the event of retirement, death, disability, resignation etc. have been projected on the basis of a series of financial
assumptions (cost-of-living increases, interest rate, increase in compensation etc.). The estimate of future benefits includes any increases for additional service seniority, as well as the estimated increase in the compensation level at the
measurement dateonly for employees of companies with less than 50 employees during the year 2006;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the average present value of future benefits has been calculated, at the measurement date, on the basis of the annual interest rate adopted and the probability that each benefit actually has to be paid;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the liability of each company concerned has been calculated as the average present value of future benefits that will be generated by the existing provision at the measurement date, without considering any future
accruals (for companies with at least 50 employees during the year 2006) or by identifying the amount of the average present value of future benefits which refer to the past service already accrued by the employee in the company at the measurement
date (for the others), i.e. adopting the service pro-rate.

The adoption of the above assumptions resulted in a liability for employee severance indemnities at December 31, 2015 of 1,018 million
euros (1,031 million euros at the end of 2014).

Reported below is a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption adopted to calculate the
liability as at year end, showing how the liability would have been affected by changes in the relevant actuarial assumptions that were reasonably possible at that date, stated in amounts.

The weighted average duration of the obligation is 12.5 years.

The Provision for pension plans amounted to 23 million euros at December 31, 2015 (25 million euros at December 31, 2014) and mainly
represented pension plans in place at foreign companies of the Group.

Provision for termination benefit incentives increased in total by 408 million euros,
following recognition of an amount of 399 million euros of the impact resulting from the various agreements signed in 2015 by Telecom Italia S.p.A., Telecom Italia Information Technology, HR Services and Telecom Italia Sparkle with the trade unions,
as part of the process of dialog between the parties, aimed at managing surplus personnel, and due to the streamlining processes affecting all the companies operating in the TLC sector. The provision includes commitments by Olivetti S.p.A., totaling
17 million euros, in connection with the restructuring plan announced in May 2015.

The non-current portion of provisions for risks and charges mainly relates to the provision for restoration costs. In accordance with
accounting standards, the total amount of the provision is calculated by re-measuring the amounts for which a probable outlay is contemplated, based on estimated inflation rates for the individual due dates, and subsequently discounted to the
reporting date based on the average cost of debt, taking into account cash outflow forecasts.

Provision for taxation and tax risks was essentially unchanged
compared to 2014. The figure at December 31, 2015 mainly related to companies in the Domestic Business Unit (62 million euros) and companies in the Brazil Business Unit (53 million euros).

Provision for restoration costs related to the provision for the estimated cost of dismantling tangible assetsin particular: batteries, wooden poles and
equipmentand for the restoration of the sites used for mobile telephony by companies belonging to the Domestic Business Unit (324 million euros) and to the Brazil Business Unit (8 million euros).

The 55 million euros amount relates entirely to the Brazil business unit and is the result of the sale of the telecommunications towers, which resulted in the lapse of
the obligation toward these telecommunication towers; this amount is one of the components of the gain realized from this transaction.

The item Exchange
differences and other changes mainly reflects the effect of the change in the useful life of the passive infrastructure of the mobile telephone Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) located in Italy and the consequent lengthening of the discounting
period, as a result of which the provisions was reduced by a total of 57 million euros.

This change was recognized as follows:



| | · |  | 30 million euros as a reduction in the gross carrying amount of the assets it relates to;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the remaining 27 million euros as a reduction in the depreciation expense for 2015.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Provision for legal disputes
included the provision for litigation with employees, social security entities, regulatory authorities and other counterparties.

The figure, at December 31, 2015,
included 425 million euros essentially for the Domestic Business Unit and 45 million euros for the Brazil Business Unit.

This item increased by 317 million euros compared to December 31, 2014, mainly due to provisions for litigation with
the Public Administration, telecommunication operators and other third parties.

It includes a reclassification from the provision for commercial risks of 109
million euros made by Telecom Italia S.p.A. in order to provide representation of the associated risks in line with the developments in the matter.

Provision for
commercial risks decreased, by 116 million euros compared to the end of December 2014, mainly due to the above-mentioned reclassification.

Provision for risks and
charges on investments and corporate-related transactionsdecreased by 30 million euros compared to 2014, mainly due to the removal of the related risks and the consequent release to the income statement during the year.

a) Significant disputes and pending legal actions

Telecom Italia SparkleRelations with I-Globe, Planetarium, Acumen, Accrue Telemedia and Diadem: investigation by the Public Prosecutors Office of Rome

In August 2014, the Rome Court filed its grounds for the judgement pronounced in October 2013. The Court fully acquitted three former managers of Telecom
Italia Sparkle from charges of transnational conspiracy for the purpose of tax evasion and false declaration by the use of invoices or other documents for non-existent transactions (the so-called Frode carosello or carousel
fraud). A further 18 defendants were found guilty, with sentences of 20 months to 15 years. The grounds for the judgement acknowledged that the former managers of Telecom Italia Sparkle were completely uninvolved in the carousel
fraud and acknowledged the correctness of their actions.

The not guilty verdict was, however, appealed by the Rome Public Prosecutors Office, including
as it relates to the Telecom Italia Sparkle employees, and the date of the hearing before the Court of Appeal has not yet been set.

Telecom Italia Sparkle is still
being formally investigated for an administrative offence pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, with the predicate offence of conspiracy and transactional money laundering.

Following the outcome of this trial, and notwithstanding the pending appeal, the Company requested and obtained from the Judicial Authority, by order in June 2014, the
release and return of the whole sum of the 72,234,003 euro surety used to guarantee any obligations arising from the application of Legislative Decree 231/2001, and the restitution of the sum of 8,451,000 euros. The sum of 1,549,000 euros,
corresponding to the maximum fine payable for the administrative offence, remains under seizure.

Following the Telecom Italia Sparkle affair, the 2009 consolidated
financial statements provided for a risk reserve in a total amount of 86 million euros (72 million euros of which referred to the risk pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001), which was recognized in the financial statements and was fully released
in the profit and loss account during 2014.

As for risks of a fiscal nature, in February 2014, the Agenzia delle
Entrate (Lazio Regional Office) served three formal notifications of fines for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, based on the assumption that the telephone traffic in the carousel fraud did not exist. The amount of
the fines25% of the crime related costs unduly deductedtotals 280 million euros. In this respect the Company filed an appeal with the Provincial Tax Commission in April 2014. Following a hearing in February 2016, the Company
is awaiting judgement. In light of the investigations carried out, and considering the favorable outcome of the associated criminal proceedings, the risk of obligation to pay these fines is believed to be only potential, so no provisions were made
in the financial statements.

International tax and regulatory disputes

On March 22, 2011 Tim Celular was served notice of a tax assessment issued by the Federal Tax Authorities of Brazil for a total sum of 1,265 million reais including
fines and interest, as a result of the completion of a tax investigation for financial years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 for the companies Tim Nordeste Telecomunicações S.A. and Tim Nordeste S.A. (previously called Maxitel), companies
which have been progressively incorporated into Tim Celular in the context of corporate restructuring in Brazil.

The assessment notice includes various
adjustments; the main claims may be summarized as follows:



| | · |  | non-recognition of the fiscal effects of the merger of Tim Nordeste Telecomunicações S.A. and Maxitel S.A.;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | non-recognition of the fiscal deductibility of the write-down of goodwill relating to the purchase of Tele Nordeste Celular Participações S.A. (TNC).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The adjustments included in the assessment notice were challenged by Tim Celular, before an administrative court, with the submission of an initial defense on April 20,
2011. On April 20, 2012, Tim Celular received notification of the decision of the administrative court of first instance, confirming the findings set out in the assessment notice; Tim Celular promptly appealed this decision on May 21, 2012.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



The Management, supported by legal opinions, believes it is unlikely that the company will suffer any negative
consequences in relation to these matters.

Certain of the Tim Participações subsidiaries are subject to tax disputes (including for significant
amounts) but the risk of losing in these instances is deemed improbable (for the aforementioned companies), on the basis of legal opinions issued to the companies.

The most relevant cases relate to the fiscal deductibility of the write-down of goodwill, indirect taxation and contributions to the local regulatory authority
(ANATEL). Of the main disputes concerning indirect taxation, several disputes regarding lowering the tax base on the basis of discounts granted to customers may be noted; the regulatory authority, however, alleges that the Company did not pay
sufficient contributions to the FUST/FUNTTEL funds.

Finally, in December 2013, Tim Celular received a tax assessment served by the Brazilian Federal District
Finance Secretariat of approximately 582 million reais, including penalties and interest, on account of alleged non-payment of indirect taxes for the years 2008 to 2012. The assessment was served following a
decision by the Supreme Court declaring that a state tax incentive was unconstitutional. The company promptly filed an initial defense statement, in administrative proceedings, in January 2014. On October 23, 2015, Tim Celular was served notice of
the decision of the lower administrative court, which substantially confirmed the claims included in the assessment notice, although it reduced the amount in dispute, by a small amount. TIM Celular promptly filed an appeal in administrative
proceedings against this decision on November 24, 2015. Also on the basis of specific legal advice, Tim Celular does not consider an unfavorable outcome to be likely.

Formal Notice of Assessments against Telecom Italia International N.V.

In June 2014, at the end of a tax investigation that lasted over a year, the Milan Guardia di Finanza served Telecom Italia International N.V., a subsidiary company with
offices in the Netherlands, with a formal notice of assessments for the fiscal years from 2005 to 2012, with which it formalized findings on the alleged tax residence in Italy of the aforementioned subsidiary company, due to the presumed place of
effective management in Italy.

The total amount of the assessment for these fiscal years, comprising potential tax expense (corporate income taxIRES;
regional business taxIRAP), fines and interest totaled approximately 350 million euros at that time.

In December 2014, based on the prior assessment, the
Milan office of the Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Revenue Agency) served separate notices of assessments for IRES and IRAP on the Dutch company for the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which amounted to a total of approximately 148 million euros
in taxes, fines and interest.

The Company believed that this claim was unfounded, based on opinions provided by professional advisors. However, intending to avoid
a dispute that would have likely been lengthy and uncertain, the whole claim for the years 2005 to 2012 was settled on July 9, 2015, by recourse to tools to deflate the dispute, using the means available in law. The agreement involved
the payment of a total of 30 million euros for taxes, fines and interest, on July 17, 2015.

Irregularities concerning transactions for the leasing/rental of
assets

In relation to the irregularities detected with regard to some leasing and rental transactions, which in some cases led to disputes relating to
Direct Taxes and VAT, the Company arranged to make provision for risks; the actual amount of the risk provision is around 10.3 million euros.


· 

In many proceedings described in the paragraphs below, it is not possible
to determine whether any loss is probable or to estimate the amount of any loss. Numerous legal and factual issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters, and by
addressing novel or unsettled legal questions relevant to the proceedings in question, before a liability can be reasonably estimated for any claim. The Telecom Italia Group cannot predict if, how or when such claims will be resolved or what
the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, may be, particularly for claims that are at an early stage of their development or where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages.

Therefore as permitted by par. 91 of lAS 37 we have not disclosed an estimate of the financial effect and the other
information required by lAS 37 par. 86 (b) because it was not practicable to do so.

In each of the material legal proceedings, investigations and reviews
described below, unless specifically noted otherwise, on the basis of the information available at the closing date of the present document and with particular reference to the complexity of the proceedings, to their progress, and to elements of
uncertainty of a technical nature, it is not possible to reliably estimate with any certainty the liability, if any, or the effect these proceedings, investigations and reviews, and any related developments, may have on the Telecom ltalia Group.
Moreover, in the case in which the disclosure of information with respect to a particular dispute or proceeding could seriously prejudice the position of Telecom Italia or its subsidiaries, only the general nature of the dispute is described.

Investigation by the Public Prosecutors Office of Monza

Criminal proceedings are currently pending before the Judge for Preliminary Hearings of the Monza Court, following the committal to trial formulated by the Public
Prosecutor and with the preliminary hearing scheduled in May 2016, regarding a number of transactions for the leasing and/or sale of goods, which allegedly involve various offenses committed to the detriment, among others, of Telecom Italia. The
alleged offenses relate to financial abuses, tax crimes and fraud with more than one aggravating circumstance. Within the context of said proceeding, Telecom Italia filed a charge against persons unknown in 2011. Telecom Italia proposes that it join
the proceedings as a civil party as the person injured and damaged by the offence.

In the proceedings, one of the defendants is a former employee of the Company.

Antitrust Case A428

At the conclusion of case A428, in May 2013,
the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) imposed two administrative sanctions of 88,182,000 euros and 15,612,000 euros on Telecom Italia for abuse of its dominant position. The Company allegedly (i) hindered or delayed activation of access services
requested by OLOs through unjustified and spurious refusals; and (ii) offered its access services to consumers on economic and technical conditions that allegedly could not be matched by competitors purchasing wholesale access services from Telecom
Italia itself, only in those geographic areas of the country where disaggregated access services to the local network are available, and hence where other operators can compete more effectively with the Company.

Telecom Italia appealed the decision before the Administrative Court (TAR) for Lazio, applying for a suspension of the fine. In particular, the Company alleged:
infringement of its rights to defend itself in the proceedings the fact that the organizational choices challenged by AGCM and allegedly at the base of the abuse of the OLO provisioning processes had been the subject of specific rulings made by the
industry regulator (AGCom) the fact that the comparative examination of the internal/external provisioning processes had, in fact, shown better results for the OLOs than for the Telecom Italia retail department (hence the lack of any form of
inequality of treatment and/or opportunistic behavior by Telecom Italia) and (regarding the second abuse) the fact that the conduct was structurally unsuitable to reduce the margins of the OLOs.

In May 2014, the judgement of the Lazio TAR was published, rejecting Telecom Italias appeal and confirming the fines imposed in the original challenged order. In
September 2014, the Company appealed the decision.

On May 2015, with the judgement no. 2479/2015, the Council of State found that the decision of the court of
first instance did not present the deficiencies alleged by Telecom Italia and confirmed the AGCM ruling. The Company had already paid the fines and the accrued interest.

In a decision handed down in July 2015, AGCM initiated proceedings for non-compliance against Telecom Italia, to ascertain if the Company had respected the notice to
comply requiring it to refrain from undertaking behaviors analogous to those that were the object of the breach established by the decision in case A428, dated May 2013.

If non-compliance with the notice requiring the company to refrain from these behaviors, article 15, subsection 2 of Law no. 287/90 provides for the application of a
minimum administrative fine of no less than double the original fine imposed, and a maximum limit of 10% of the turnover of the firm.

Telecom Italia requested access to the case files, in order to have full knowledge of the alleged breaches reported,
and in July 2015 partial access was granted only to the documents generated by AGCM.

In October 2015, a defence statement was filed, which evidenced the activities
undertaken to improve the ways in which the access services requested by the OLOs are provided, and subsequently the Company presented the changes that are being made to the processes and systems of supply for access services at the AGCM offices.

The term set for the conclusion of the non-compliance proceedings, originally set at January 13, 2016, has been extended to July 31, 2016 to enable AGCM to assess
the aforementioned structural and process changes.

Antitrust Case I761

With a ruling issued on July 10, 2013, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) extended to Telecom Italia the investigation started in March of the same year into some
firms active in the fixed network maintenance sector. The investigation aims to establish if an agreement, prohibited pursuant to article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, exists. The proceedings were initiated after Wind
filed two complaints in which the AGCM was informed that, based on an invitation to bid for the assignment of network corrective maintenance services, it had encountered substantial uniformity of prices offered by the aforementioned enterprises and
a significant difference from the offers submitted subsequently by other and different companies.

The AGCM alleged that Telecom Italia carried out a role of
coordinating the other parts of the procedure, both during the formulation of the offers requested by Wind and in relation to the positions represented to AGCom.

Telecom Italia challenged these proceedings before the Administrative Court (TAR), claiming that the AGCM does not have competence in this matter.

On July 7, 2014, the AGCM extended the proceedings to investigate if the Company, abusing its dominant position, put in place initiatives that might influence the
conditions of the offer of accessory technical services when the offers of the maintenance businesses to Wind and Fastweb were being formulated. With the extension provision, the AGCM also extended the deadline for closing the proceedings from July
31, 2014 to July 31, 2015. This extension was also challenged before the Administrative Court (TAR) of Lazio claiming that AGCM does not have authority in this matter.

In November 2014, for reasons of procedural economy and also convinced that it was acting legitimately, Telecom Italia presented to the AGCM a proposal of undertakings
in order to resolve the competition concerns subject to the investigation. In its December 19, 2014 resolution, AGCM considered that these undertakings were not manifestly groundless and later ordered their publication for the purposes of market
testing.

On March 25, 2015, AGCM definitively rejected the aforesaid undertakings, considering them not suitable for removing the anticompetitive aspects
investigated.

On July 21, 2015, the Communication of the Results of the Investigation was served on the parties to the proceedings, in which the Offices of AGCM
expressed their position pertaining to archiving the complaints regarding the abuse of dominant position and confirming, instead, that there exists between Telecom Italia and the maintenance firms an agreement to coordinate the economic offers drawn
up for Wind and Fastweb, and to proceed to supply, in unbundled form, the ancillary technical services.

On December 16, 2015, the final order was issued,
confirming the conclusions of the Communication of the Results of the Investigation, sustaining that, between 2012 and 2013, there existed an agreement that restricted competition, and as a result, imposing a fine of 21.5 million euros on the
Company. The relevant market is the corrective maintenance (assurance) market and, more precisely, the market for troubleshooting the Telecom Italia LLU lines. The purpose of the conduct maintained by the Company and the network firms would have
been to limit competition and prevent the evolution of forms of disaggregated supply of ancillary technical services.

Telecom Italia has appealed the order before
the Lazio Regional Administrative Court.

VODAFONE

In August
2013, Vodafone, as the company into which operator Teletu has been incorporated, submitted to the Milan Court a claim for damages for presumed abusive and anticompetitive behavior (founded principally on AGCM case A428), which Telecom Italia
allegedly carried out in the period 2008 to 2013. Vodafone sought damages totaling between 876 and 1,029 million euros.

In particular, Vodafone alleged technical
boycotting activities, with refusal to activate lines requested for Teletu customers (in the period from 2008 to June 2013), together with the adoption of allegedly abusive price policies for wholesale network access services (period from 2008 to
June 2013). Furthermore, the other party complained of the presumed application of discounts to business customers greater than those planned (margin squeezing) and the carrying out of presumed illegal and anticompetitive winback
practices (in the period from the second half of 2012 to the month of June 2013).

Telecom Italia filed an appearance, challenging the claims made by the other
party regarding the matter and the amount and making a counterclaim. The judgment in question has been suspended, while awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Court (Court of Cassation) on the Companys appeal against the order with which the
Court rejected the Companys argument that it did not have territorial jurisdiction.

With a writ of summons dated May 28, 2015, before the Milan Court,
Vodafone advanced further claims for compensation, based on the same AGCM case A428 and referring to alleged damages it suffered in the period July 2013 to December 2014, for approximately 568.5 million euros.

The case also allows for further damages to be quantified, during the proceedings, for subsequent periods during which the alleged abusive conduct may have continued.
The first hearing is scheduled for July 2016.

FASTWEB

In April
2014, Fastweb and Telecom Italia reached a technical-procedural agreement to waive the arbitration started by Fastweb in January 2011 by virtue of which the competitor requested compensation for presumed damages totaling 146 million euros incurred
following alleged non-compliance with the provisions contained in the contract for the supply of the LLU service. The agreement reached did not define the respective damages claimed in arbitration, which will continue in the proceedings already
pending before the Milan Civil Court, described below. In arbitration, Fastweb complained that, for the period from July 2008 to June 2010, Telecom Italia had refused, unlawfully, to execute approximately 30,000 requests to migrate customers to the
Fastweb network. Telecom Italia filed an appearance, submitting a counterclaim.

In December 2013, Fastweb served a writ of summons at the Court of Milan with a
claim for damages arising from alleged improper conduct by Telecom Italia in issuing an excessive number of refusals to supply wholesale access (KO) services in 2009-2012 and in making economic offers to business customers, in
areas open to LLU services, that could not be replicated by competitors because of the alleged squeeze on discount margins (margin squeeze practices). Based on the content of the Antitrust Authoritys A428 decision, Fastweb has
quantified this claim to be 1,744 million euros. The Company filed an appearance challenging the claims made by the other party regarding the matter, as well as the amount of damages, and has made a counterclaim. Subsequently, as part of a
structured agreement between the Parties, the case ended with a settlement.

BT ITALIA

With a writ of summons in June 2015, BT Italia has advanced, before the Milan Court, claims for compensation of approximately 638.6 million euros against Telecom Italia
referring to alleged damages suffered, during the period from 2009 to 2014, due to technical boycotting and margin squeezing (these claims refer to the known AGCM A428 case). BT Italia, assuming that the unlawful conduct of Telecom Italia is still
occurring, also proposes to update the claim for damages up to the month of May 2015, recalculating the total to be 662.90 million euros. Telecom Italia filed an appearance, challenging the claims of the other party. On March 31, 2016, as part of a
an agreement between the Parties, the case was settled.

COLT TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

With a writ of summons served in August 2015, before the Milan Court, operator Colt Technology Services claimed damages based on the decision in case A428, referring to
alleged damages suffered over the period 2009

to 2011, due to the presumed inefficient and discriminatory conduct of Telecom Italia in the process of supplying wholesale services. The damage claimed was quantified as 27 million euros in loss
of profits for the alleged non-acquisition of new costumers, or for the alleged impossibility of supplying new services to the customers it had already acquired. Colt Technology Services also formulated an
express request for compensation for the damages to its image and commercial reputation. This case follows the extrajudicial claim for approximately 23 million euros, previously advanced by Colt in June 2015, which the Company rejected in its
entirety. The Company filed an appearance, contesting the claims of Colt Technology Services in full.

KPNQ West Italia S.p.A.

With a writ of summons issued by the Rome Court, KPNQ West Italia has sued Telecom Italia, claiming damages of 38 million euros for alleged abusive and anti-competitive
conduct during the period 2009 to 2011, through technical boycotting (KOs and refusals to activate wholesale services). These claims were based on the content of the Italian Competition Authority ruling that settled the A428 case. Telecom Italia
will file an appearance challenging the claims of the other party.

TISCALI

With a writ of summons issued before the Milan Court, served in January 2015, Tiscali has claimed damages of 285 million euros for alleged abusive behavior by Telecom
Italia in the years 2009 to 2014, through technical boycott activities and by making economic offers to its business clients, in areas open to LLU service, which their competitors were not capable of replicating due to the alleged excessive
squeezing of their discount margins. Tiscalis claim is based on the content of AGCM case A428. This dispute was settled in June 2015.

TELEUNIT

With a writ of summons issued before the Rome Court, Teleunit has brought claims for compensation against Telecom Italia in an amount of 35.4 million euros,
on the same grounds as the A428 antitrust proceeding. In particular, Teleunit claims to have been subject to, during the period of 2009 to 2010, abusive behavior in the nature of technical boycotts (refusal of the activation of services for the
access to the networkKO) and anticompetitive practices of margin squeezing (excessive pressure on the discount margins that is deemed abusive in that they are not replicable by the competitors). The preliminary hearing is
scheduled for June 2016. Telecom Italia intends to defend against these claims.

With a writ issued in October 2009, before the Milan Appeals Court, Teleunit
asked for alleged acts of abuse by Telecom Italia of its dominant position in the premium services market to be investigated. The complainant quantified its damages at a total of approximately 362 million euros. Telecom Italia filed an appearance,
contesting the claims of the other party.

After the ruling of January 2014 with which the Court of Appeal declared that it was not competent in this matter,
Teleunit reinstated the case before the Milan Court the following April.

Telecom Italia filed an appearance in the reinstated proceedings challenging the claims of
the other parties.

EUTELIA and VOICEPLUS

In June 2009, Eutelia
and Voiceplus asked that alleged acts of abuse by Telecom Italia of its dominant position in the premium services market (based on the public offer of services provided through so-called Non Geographic Numbers) be investigated. The complainants
quantified their damages at a total of approximately 730 million euros.

The case follows a precautionary procedure in which the Milan Appeals Court prohibited
certain behaviors of the Company relating to the management of some financial relations with Eutelia and Voiceplus concerning the Non Geographic Numbers, for which Telecom Italia managed the payments from the end customers, on behalf of such OLOs
and in the light of regulatory requirements. After the ruling with which the Milan Appeals Court accepted Telecom Italias objections, declaring that it was not competent in this matter and referring the case to the Civil Court, Eutelia, in
extraordinary administration, and Voiceplus, in liquidation, resubmitted the matter to the Milan Appeals Court. The first hearing took place in the month of March 2014. Telecom Italia filed an appearance

challenging the claims of the other parties. After the collapse of Voiceplus, the Milan Court declared the case suspended, in an order in September 2015. The case was subsequently resumed by
Voiceplus.

Irregular sale of handsets to companies in San MarinoInvestigation by the Public Prosecutors Office of Forli

Despite the initial dismissal of the case by the Public Prosecutors Office of Bologna in 2011, in June 2012 the Company was served with a search warrant issued by
the Public Prosecutors Office of Forlì in the context of proceedings in which the defendants included one subsequently suspended employee and three former employees of the Company. In September 2013, the notice of completion of the
preliminary investigations was filed. The offences proceeded with are conspiracy for the purpose of committing crimes of false declaration through the use of invoices or other documents for non-existent transactions and the issuing
of invoices or other documents for non-existent transactions and the respective target offences. Company employees have also been accused of the offence of preventing public supervisory authorities from performing their
functions,for having prevented CONSOB from learning promptly of the involvement of Telecom S.p.A. in the San Marino System for achieving the sales targets imposed by senior management, failing to inform the
communication authorities at CONSOB of the economic, equity-related, financial and reputation risks to which its involvement might have led, with potential harm to investors and consequential alteration of market transparency.

Regarding the latter charge, the Forlì Prosecutors Office has transmitted the case papers to the Milan Public Prosecutors Office, deemed to be
territorially competent.

This matter was the subject of an audit and an internal investigation of the Greenfield Project at the time. In this regard, as a result
of the findings of these investigative activities, the Company independently took steps to address some invoices issued to the San Marino companies for which certain tax obligations had not been fully discharged.

POSTE

There are some pending actions brought by Ing. C. Olivetti
& C. S.p.A. (now Telecom Italia) against Poste, the Italian postal service, concerning non-payment for services rendered under a series of contracts to supply IT goods and services. The judgments issued in the lower courts established an
outcome that was partially favorable to Olivetti, and have been appealed by Poste in individual rehearings.

In this respect, while a judgment of the Rome Appeals
Court confirmed one of the outstanding payables to Telecom Italia, another judgment by the same Court declared void one of the disputed contracts. After this judgment, Poste had issued a writ for the return of approximately 58 million euros, opposed
by Telecom Italia given that the judgment of the Supreme Court for amendment of the above judgment was pending.

After the judgment of the Supreme Court that
quashed and remanded the decision of the Appeal Court on which the order was based, the Rome Court declared that the matter at issue in the enforcement proceedings was discontinued, since the claim made by Poste had been rejected. The judgment was
resubmitted to another section of the Rome Appeals Court.

Elinet S.p.A. bankruptcy

The receivers of collapsed Elinet S.p.A., and subsequently the receivers of Elitel S.r.l. and Elitel Telecom S.p.A. (the controller of the Elitel group at the time),
have appealed the judgment of the Rome Court rejecting the claims for compensation made by the receivers of Elinet-Elitel, reasserting a claim for damages totaling 282 million euros. The claims made concern the alleged performance of management and
coordination activities by the Company, and with it the Elitel group (an alternative operator in which Telecom Italia has never had any type of interest), allegedly enacted by trade receivables management. Telecom Italia filed an appearance,
challenging the claims of Elinet S.p.A..

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

With regard to the judgments sought in previous years by Telecom Italia and Tim concerning the Ministry of Communications request for payment of the balance of the
amounts paid in concession charges for the years 1994-1998 (for a total amount of 113 million euros), the Administrative Court (TAR) for Lazio rejected the

Companys appeal against the request for adjustment of the license fee for 1994 in the amount of approximately 11 million euros, 9 million euros of which against revenues not received
due to bad debts. Telecom Italia lodged an appeal.

Through two further judgments, the Administrative Court (TAR) for Lazio, reiterating the reasons expressed
previously, also rejected the appeals in which the Company challenged the requests for payment of outstanding balances of license fees for the years 1995 and 1996 to 1998, in the amount of approximately 46 million euros. Telecom Italia has appealed
these judgments before the Council of State.

Vodafone DisputeUniversal Service

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

Telecom Italia has instituted renewal proceedings at AGCom and an appeal at the Italian Supreme Court against the ruling of the Council of State on the grounds that it
has exceeded its jurisdictional authority.

Formal Notice of Assessments against Telecom Italia S.p.A.

On October 29, 2015, the Guardia di Finanza concluded a tax investigation into Telecom Italia S.p.A., started in 2013, regarding the period from 2007 to 2014. The formal
notice of assessment (Processo Verbale di Constatazione, or PVC) contained two substantial findings. The first one relates to the presumed missed charge of royalties to the companys indirect subsidiary Tim Brasil, for the use of the
TIM brand. The second one concerns the alleged missed withholding tax on interests paid to the subsidiary Telecom Italia Capital S.A.

It should be
noted that the PVC does not involve demands for payment since the decision as to whether or not assessment notices are to be issued is to be made by the Revenue Agency.

On this point, in December 2015, based on the aforementioned formal notice of assessment, the Milan Revenue Agency served assessment notices on the Company for the 2010
fiscal year.

Telecom Italia believes that it has correctly fulfilled all of its tax obligations and is analizing its defense options and/or a potential settlement,
if more appropriate.

OlivettiAsbestos exposure

In
September 2014, the Ivrea Public Prosecutors Office closed the investigation on the presumed exposure to asbestos of 15 former workers of the companies Ing. C. Olivetti S.p.A. (now Telecom Italia S.p.A.), Olivetti Controllo
Numerico S.p.A, Olivetti Peripheral Equipment S.p.A., Sixtel S.p.A. and Olteco S.p.A and served notice that the investigations had been concluded on the 39 people investigated (including former Directors of
the aforementioned companies).

In December 2014, the Ivrea Public Prosecutors Office formulated a request for 33 of the 39 people originally investigated to
be committed for trial, and at the same time asked that 6 investigations be archived.

During the preliminary hearing, which started in April 2015, Telecom Italia
assumed the role of civilly liable party, after being formally summoned by all 26 civil parties (institutions and individuals) joined in the proceedings. At the end of the preliminary hearing, 18 of the original 33 persons accused were committed for
trial.

The trial started in November 2015, and prosecution experts and witnesses are currently giving evidence. As party liable for damages, the Company has, as of
now, settled with 12 of the 18 individuals (heirs/injured persons/family members), who have taken steps to withdraw from the legal proceedings against the accused and the legal proceedings against Telecom Italia as civil defendant.

BrazilOpportunity Arbitration

In May 2012, Telecom Italia and Telecom Italia International N.V were served with an arbitration brought by the Opportunity group, claiming restoration of damages
allegedly suffered as a consequence of the presumed breach of a certain settlement agreement signed in 2005. Based on claimants allegations, such damages would be related to matters emerging in the context of the criminal proceedings pending
before the Court of Milan regarding, among others, unlawful activities of former employees of Telecom Italia.

The investigatory phase has been completed and the
hearing took place in November 2014, after which the parties filed their concluding arguments in preparation for the decision on the case.

In September 2015, the
Board of Arbitration declared the proceedings closed. Subsequently, the Board of Arbitration allowed the parties to exchange short arguments and the ICC Court extended the term for the filing of the award.

BrazilDocas/JVCO arbitration

In March 2013, the Brazilian
companies Docas Investimentos S.A. (Docas) and JVCO Participações Ltda. (JVCO) started arbitration proceedings against Tim Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. (Tim Brasil), Tim Participações S.A.
(Tim Participações) and Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda. (Intelig) requesting the restitution of the Tim Participações shares held by the Tim Brasil group as guarantee (Alienaçao Fiduciaria)
for the indemnity obligations undertaken by the Docas group upon acquisition of Intelig (a Docas group subsidiary) through the merger by incorporation of its controlling company into Tim Participações, as well as compensation for
damages for alleged breach of the merger agreement and alleged offences by Tim Participações in determining the exchange ratio between Tim Participações shares and Intelig shares, for an amount not yet specified and to be
paid during the proceedings. After the Arbitration Board had been constituted in May 2013, Tim Brasil, Tim Participações and Intelig filed their response, including a counterclaim against the Docas Group for compensation for damages.

In October 2013, in order to preserve the status quo until the arbitration decision is made, the Court of Arbitration ordered that the guarantee represented by the
aforementioned Tim Participações shares could not be enforced and that they would remain in Alienaçao Fiduciaria in the custody of Banco Bradesco. The voting rights connected to the Shares are frozen and
future dividends must be paid into an escrow account.

In December 2013, Docas and JVCO filed their Statement of Claim. In March 2014, the counterclaim by Tim
Brasil, Tim Participações and Intelig was filed, and the discovery phase started. In February 2015, the Statements of Defence of all the parties were filed, in view of the examination hearing.

In September 2015, there was an examination hearing in Rio de Janeiro, in which the witnesses were cross-examined and legal and
financial experts gave evidence.

In December 2015, the parties filed their final arguments. The Tim Brasil group also asked that JVCOs application for the
appointment of an expert by the Court be rejected.

The statements of costs were filed in January 2016. Tims counsel believes that the Board of Arbitration
will file its award soon.

BrazilJVCO Dispute

In the month
of September 2013, the company was served notice of judicial proceedings started by JVCO Participações Ltda. (JVCO) before the Rio de Janeiro Court against Telecom Italia, Telecom Italia International and Tim Brasil Serviços e
Participações S.A., which asked for their control of Tim Participações S.A. (Tim Participações) to be declared abusive, and for compensation to be awarded for the damages caused by the exercise of this
power of control, the amount of which should be determined during the proceedings.

In February 2014, the statements of rejoinder were filed, raising an objection
as to the courts jurisdiction, and in August, the Rio de Janeiro Court ruled in favor of Telecom Italia, Telecom Italia International and Tim Brasil, rejecting JVCOs claim. The latter appealed the judgment before a judge of the first
instance, a motion which was refused by the judge in September 2014.

In November 2014, JVCO appealed against the judgment of the court of first instance. On December 10, 2014 Telecom
Italia, Telecom Italia International and Tim Participações filed both their respective responses to this appeal and their own appeal against the costs awarded to them in the judgment of the court of the first instance, deemed to be too
low. Subsequently, JVCO filed a response to the appeal filed by Telecom Italia, Telecom Italia International and Tim Participações.

In June 2015,
JVCO withdrew its appeal and as a result the judge closed the case.

BrazilCAM JVCO Arbitration

In September 2015, JVCO Participações Ltda filed an application for arbitration before the Camara de Arbitragem do Mercado (CAM), based in Rio de
Janeiro, against Telecom Italia, Telecom Italia International, Tim Brasil Serviços e Participações S.A. and Tim Participações S.A., claiming compensation for damages due to an alleged abuse of controlling power
over Tim Participações. In October, all the companies entered appearances and filed statements of defense.

Mobile telephonycriminal
proceedings

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

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

During the preliminary hearing, the Company was
admitted as a civil party to the trial and, in November 2013, the motions were filed reaffirming Telecom Italias total lack of involvement in the offences claimed.

At the end of the preliminary hearing, which took place in March 2014, the Judge for the Preliminary Hearings committed for trial all the defendants (including Telecom
Italia) who did not ask for the definition of their position with alternative procedures, on the grounds that the examination hearing is necessary. Currently the proceedings are in the evidence-hearing phase before the Court sitting as a
judicial panel. The Public Prosecutor added to the original charges further charges of counterfeiting and handling of stolen goods, referring to other identity documents. The Public Prosecutors investigation having been completed, the defense
experts and witnesses are currently giving evidence.

Dispute concerning the license fees for 1998

Telecom Italia has initiated civil proceedings against the Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri (the office of the Prime Minister) for compensation of the damage caused
by the Italian State through appeal judgment no.7506/09 by the Consiglio di Stato that, in the view of the Company, violates the principles of current European community law.

The main claim on which the proceedings are founded is based on community jurisprudence that recognizes the right to assert the responsibility of the State in relation
to violation of rights recognized in community law and injured by a judgment that has become definitive, in respect of which no other remedy may be applied. The judgment of the Council of State definitively denied the right of Telecom Italia to
restitution of the concession

charge for 1998 (totaling 386 million euros for Telecom Italia and 143 million euros for Tim, plus interest), already denied by the Lazio regional administrative court despite the favorable and
binding opinion of the European Court of Justice in February 2008 concerning the conflict between EC Directive 97/13 on general authorizations and individual licenses in the telecommunications services industry, and the national regulations that had
deferred, for 1998, the obligation to pay the fee payable by telecommunications concession holders, despite the intervening deregulation process. The Company then proposed an alternative compensation claim, within the sphere of the same proceedings,
for tort pursuant to art. 2043 of the Italian Civil Code. The compensation claimed has been quantified as approximately 529 million euros, plus legal interest and revaluation. The Avvocatura di Stato filed an appearance and submitted a counterclaim
for the same sum. The case is subject to eligibility analysis by the Court, which declared the inadmissibility of Telecom Italias main claim (a case for damages for manifest breach of community law pursuant to law 117/88). However, this
decision was amended in favor of the Company on appeal. In March 2015 the Rome Court issued its judgment in the first instance, declaring the Companys application inadmissible. Telecom Italia has appealed this decision and the judgment is
pending the closing arguments phase.

TELETU

There is a pending
litigation for compensation started by Telecom Italia with a summons dated February 2012 against the operator Teletu (now incorporated into Vodafone) for unlawful refusals regarding reactivation with Telecom Italia of the competitors
customers. The claim was quantified as approximately 93 million euros.

CONSOB audit

In November 2013, officials from the National Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange (CONSOB) conducted an audit at the registered offices of Telecom Italia in
order to obtain documents and information concerning the bond issue of Telecom Italia Finance (Guaranteed Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due 2016 convertible into ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A.), the procedures for
the sale of holdings held by the Telecom Italia Group in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group and the companys procedures regarding the confidentiality of sensitive information and keeping of the register of people who have access thereto.
According to public sources, CONSOB informed the Public Prosecutors Office Rome of the audit and in December 2013 the latter issued a press release stating that: With regard to corporate and financial events involving the companies
Telecom Italia and Telco, the public prosecutors Office points out that there are no subjects under investigation for the offence of obstructing Supervision nor for any other kind of offence. The Public Prosecutors Office also
stated that since last October the office of the public prosecutor has been following the developments in the Telecom affair, requesting and engaging in exchanges of information with CONSOB between the judicial and supervisory authorities,
particularly in cases where potential offences might have been committed. In September 2014 CONSOB closed the preliminary investigation phase of its audit and opened a sanctioning proceeding with a charge against the Company concerning some
administrative infringements of the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation (TUF).

The Company has made provision for its arguments refuting the accusations
made by the Sanctions Office and in September 2015 the Commission acceded to most of the Companys arguments, and fined the Company a total of 60,000 euros.

Telecom Argentina

On June 3, 2013, four trade union organizations
issued proceedings against Telecom Argentina to obtain the issue of profit sharing bonds reserved for the employees, as provided in a specific Argentine Law, challenging the constitutionality of the subsequent Decree no. 395/92, which exempted
Telecom Argentina from issuing such bonds.

The company filed its defense statements, challenging the jurisdiction of the employment court and disputing the
entitlement of the other party in this matter. On October 30, 2013 the court rejected Telecom Argentinas requests and the company appealed the decision. The appeal is still pending. The proceedings have, moreover, been suspended for
verification of the plaintiffs entitlement to act on this matter, after a claim on this point was made by Telecom Argentina. Based on the assessments made by its external counsel, the management of Telecom Argentina believes the opposing
partys claim to be unfounded.

Other liabilities connected with sales of assets and investments

Under the contracts for the sale of assets and companies, the Telecom Italia Group has provided indemnities to the buyers generally commensurate to a percentage of the
purchase price for liabilities, deriving mainly from legal, tax, social security and labor-related issues.

In connection with these contingent liabilities,
totaling about 1,000 million euros, a risk provision has been allocated in an amount of 36 million euros solely for the cases where an outlay is considered likely.

Moreover, the Telecom Italia Group is committed to providing further indemnities for certain specific contractual provisions under agreements for the sale of assets and
companies, for which the contingent liabilities cannot at present be determined.

c) Commitments and guarantees

As of December 31, 2015, guarantees, net of back-to-back guarantees received, amounted to 8 million euros.

The guarantees provided by third parties to Group companies, amounting to 5,338 million euros, consisted of guarantees for loans received (2,361 million euros) and of
performance under outstanding contracts (2,977 million euros).

The guarantees provided by third parties for Telecom Italia S.p.A. obligations include two
guarantees in favor of the Ministry of Economic Development for the auction to assign the rights of use for the 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz frequencies. The guarantees amount, respectively, to 182 million euros (for the request to pay back the total
amount owed over a period of five years) and 38 million euros (for the commitment undertaken by the Company to build equipment networks according to eco-sustainability characteristics). In particular, the Company has made a commitment to achieve
energy savings in the new LTE technologies of approximately 10% on infrastructure and 20% on transmission devices over a period of five years (compared to energy consumed by current technology).

In March 2014, the Interior Ministry issued a bank guarantee of 26 million euros to Fastweb, as a jointly obliged party with Telecom Italia, following the judgment from
the Consiglio di Statowhich suspended the effects, on appeal by Fastweb, of the ruling of the Lazio Administrative Court that had declared the invalidity of the Master Agreement for the supply of all the electronic communication
servicesordering the issue of a bank guarantee (or other equivalent guarantee) equal to 5% of the financial value of the Agreement. This guarantee covers the potential payment of the amounts that the Consiglio di Stato could award to Fastweb
in the appeal proceedings.

The Interior Ministry and Telecom Italia are obliged, jointly, to provide the security (or establish another form of guarantee), on the
understanding that the fulfillment of this obligation by one of the parties will exempt the other from having to establish a second identical guarantee and that if the guarantee is enforced against the main obliged party, that party shall retain the
possibility of acting by way of recourse against the other party.

|Consolidated Financial Statements |  | Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



In 2015, employee benefits expenses mainly consisted of 3,206 million euros for the Domestic Business Unit (2,730
million euros in 2014, 2,711 million euros in 2013) and 349 million euros for the Brazil Business Unit (379 million euros for 2014, 349 million euros for 2013).

In particular, the increase in labor costs was affected by the increase in Corporate restructuring expenses, mainly following the recognition of 427 million
euros for the agreements signed by Telecom Italia S.p.A. and other Group companies with the trade unions during 2015, as part of the process of dialog between the parties, aimed at the identification of instruments for managing surplus personnel due
to the Groups organizational simplification and streamlining processes (affecting all the companies operating in the TLC sector). In particular:



| | · |  | on June 19, 2015, Telecom Italia S.p.A. signed an agreement with the union representatives of the executives for the application of Article 4, paragraphs 1-7ter, of Law N. 92 of 28 June 2012 (the
Fornero law). This agreement provides for the option to arrange mutual termination of employment for workers that meet the minimum requirements for old-age or early-retirement pension within four years of the termination date. The
company will pay outthrough INPS (Italian National Social Security Institution), amounts equivalent to the pension that would be due to the workers under the current rules and it will continue to pay INPS social security contributions until
the minimum pension requirements are met. Provisions of 20 million euros (net of discounting) were made on the basis of current social security and pension regulations, in relation to a group of around 60 executives that subscribed to the scheme or
expressed interest after being identified as eligible by the company. The agreement is valid until December 31, 2018 and affects a maximum of 150 managers.

| | · |  | On September 21, 2015, Telecom Italia S.p.A. signed a new mobility agreement pursuant to Law 223/91 with the industry trade unions Fistel-Cisl, Uilcom-Uil, UGL Telecomunicazioni and the majority of the other trade
unions, for 330 employees, with a provision of 14 million euros.

| | · |  | On October 27, 2015, Telecom Italia S.p.A. signed operational agreements with the industry trade unions Fistel-Cisl, Uilcom-Uil, UGL Telecomunicazioni and the majority of the other trade unions for the management of
surplus personnel and the job impacts of the plan, which provide for professional retraining aimed at shifting employment toward higher-value activities, as well as the application of:

Time Equivalents (FTEs); this agreement provides for a vertical reduction of working hours, by a total of 23 days per year (8.85% of the monthly working hours);

| |  |  | Article 4, paragraphs 1-7ter, of Law N. 92 of 28 June 2012 (the Fornero law) for a maximum number of 3,287 employees (non-executives). On the basis of current legislation, the parties have agreed that
Telecom Italia S.p.A. personnel that, as December 31, 2018, will have accrued the minimum pension requirements over the subsequent four years, will be able to voluntarily retire early. The company will pay monthly through INPS, and up to the start
date of the pension, the amount of the pension accrued at the time of leaving and the related social security contributions.

In
addition, it was also agreed that at the end of the period of the Solidarity Contracts, if the overall surplus personnel plan was successfully implemented and its objectives were achieved, the Company would pay a one-time bonus to employees under
the Solidarity Contract, which will be based on their employment category.

The agreement signed on October 27, 2015 resulted in a total provision of

In 2015, this item showed a positive balance of 10 million euros and mainly related to the gain from the sale of the non-controlling
interest in Sia S.p.A., which took place on July 10, 2015.

In 2014, this amounted to a positive 16 million euros, essentially related to the remeasurement at fair
value of the 41.07% interest already held in Trentino NGN S.r.l., carried out pursuant to IFRS 3, following the acquisition of control of the company by Telecom Italia S.p.Aon February 28, 2014at a price of 17 million euros.

c) Information about major customers

None of
the Telecom Italia Groups customers exceeds 10% of consolidated revenues.

NOTE 39RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following tables show the figures relating to related party transactions and the impact of those amounts on the separate consolidated income statement, consolidated
statement of financial position and consolidated statement of cash flows.

The procedure adopted by the Company for the management of related party transactions
also applies to the participants in significant shareholder agreements pursuant to Article 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance that govern the candidature to the office of Board Director of the Company, when the majority of the Directors
appointed are drawn from the resulting list submitted. Accordingly, since the majority of current members of the Telecom Italia Board (appointed at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of April 16, 2014 and subsequently supplemented at the
Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of December 15, 2015) were drawn from the list submitted then by the shareholder Telco, whose shareholders (Generali group, Mediobanca S.P.A., Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. and Telefonica S.A.) were bound at the time by
a significant shareholder agreement pursuant to Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998, the participants in that shareholder agreement and the companies controlled by them continue to be considered as related parties of Telecom Italia
(even though that shareholder agreement has been terminated).

Related party transactions, when not dictated by specific laws, were usually conducted with similar
terms than provided to third parties. The transactions were subject to the above-mentioned internal procedure which establishes procedures and time scales for verification and monitoring.

On November 13, 2013, the Telecom Italia Group accepted the offer for the purchase of the entire controlling interest held in the SoforaTelecom Argentina group;
as a result, from the 2013 consolidated financial statements, the investment has been classified as Discontinued Operations (Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale). On March 8, 2016, the sale of the remaining 51% of the
SoforaTelecom Argentina group was completed.

TRANSACTIONS WITH OTHER RELATED PARTIES(through directors, statutory auditors and key managersor executive
officers under US rulesand as participants in shareholders agreements pursuant to Article 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance. According to Italian Rules the statutory auditors are considered related parties).

The Procedure for carrying out transactions with related parties, as set forth in the regulation on related party transactions adopted by Consob under
Resolution 17221 of March 12, 2010, as amended, provides that the procedure should also be applied to parties that, irrespective of whether they qualify as related parties under accounting principles, participate in significant shareholder
agreements according to art. 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, that govern Director candidacies to the Telecom Italia Board, where the slate presented is the slate that a majority of the Directors nominated are drawn from.

The main changes that occurred during 2015 in the scope of related parties, were as follows:

of Other related parties through directors, without, making further significant changes.

following related parties:

|------------------------------ |  | ----------------
|       Mediobanca group:      |  | 4 million euros;
|       Intesa Sanpaolo group: |  | 6 million euros.

This transaction did not result in a loss of control for Telecom Italia over INWIT and was therefore treated as a transaction between
shareholders in accordance with accounting standards. Accordingly, no impacts were recognized in the income statements and the effects of the transaction were accounted for directly in Equity.

DESCRIPTION OF STOCK OPTION PLANS

Telecom Italia S.p.A. Top 2014-2016 Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan
2014-2016 was approved by the Shareholders Meeting of Telecom Italia S.p.A. of April 16, 2014 and was initiated following the resolution of the Board of Directors of June 26, 2014.

The Plan is aimed at encouraging Management, who hold organizational positions that are crucial to the company business, to focus on the medium/long-term growth in
value of the company shares.

The beneficiaries of the Plan include the Chief Executive Officer, Top Management (including Key Officers) and a selected part of the
Management for a total of 159 employees of the Telecom Italia Group.

The Plan covers the three-year period 2014-2016, with a maximum limit of 196,000,000 shares
available for issue. Beneficiaries identified off to the plan is launched will receive an allocation of options based on the actual number of years of incentivization.

The option rights become exercisable after achievement of the performance conditions for the 2014-2016 three-year period has been verified by the Board of Directors of
the company called to approve financial statements at December 31, 2016. Once they have vested, the rights can be exercised for a period of three years (exercise period).

The performance conditions are described below:



|· |  | Total Shareholder Return of Telecom Italia which determines 50% of the options. This parameter measures the positioning of Telecom Italias TSR in the TSR ranking of the Benchmark Panel consisting of:
AT&T, Verizon, Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom, Orange (France Télécom), Telekom Austria, KPN, Swisscom, British Telecom, Vodafone and Telecom Italia itself. The objective includes different levels of achievement based on the
Telecom Italia TSRs positioning in the ranking, which corresponds to a different exercisable percentage of the Options associated to it:
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 150% of the target level for positioning in first place (maximum level);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the target level for positioning in fifth place (target level);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 40% of the target level for positioning in eighth place (minimum level);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no options for positioning below the minimum level.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



|· |  | Cumulated Free Cash Flow consolidated in the 2014-2016 three-year period determines the exercisability of the remaining 50% of the allocated options. The parameter measures the Free Cash Flow available for the
payment of dividends and repaying the debt, and will be calculated as a cumulative value for the 2014-2016 period. The Options associated with the Cumulated Free Cash Flow objective will become exercisable according to the level of performance
achieved over the three years:
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 150% of the target options for over performance of 110% (or more) than the value established in the Plan;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the options for achievement of the plan objective 2014-2016 (target level);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 80% of the target options for achievement of the minimum value, set at 93% of the Cumulated Free Cash Flow value established in the plan (minimum level);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no options for positioning below the minimum level.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------

The number of exercisable options depends on the level of
achievement objectives.

The exercise price was set, by the Board of Directors meeting that initiated the plan, at 0.94 euros per option (strike price). If
allocations are made at a later stage, the strike price will be the higher of the price established upon initial allocation in the price resulting from the application of the above criteria at the time of allocation of the options.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

Other equity
compensation plans of Telecom Italia S.p.A.



|· |  | Long Term Incentive Plan 2010-2015 (LTI Plan 2010-2015)
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------

The LTI Plan 2010-2015 provided the option, after a
2010-2012 three-year performance period, to invest 50% of the bonus awarded in the subscription for Telecom Italia ordinary shares. In addition, a bonus share would be assigned for each share acquired in this manner if the beneficiary maintained
ownership of those shares and continued to be employed within the Group company during the two-year period. Upon closure of the plan, on April 20, 2015, a total of 178,448 ordinary shares were issued as bonus shares to the beneficiaries.



|· |  | MBO 2015 Deferred
|- |  | -----------------

Based on the resolutions passed by the Shareholders Meeting of Telecom Italia S.p.A. of
May 20, 2015, a deferment mechanism was introduced for the bonus related to the MBO 2015 for the Chief Executive Officer, top Management and a selected part of management.

In light of the recent cost-cutting measures that also include management staff of the company, the Board of Directors of Telecom Italia S.p.A. in the meeting of August
6, 2015, resolved not to implement the deferred 2015 MBO. If the performance targets set are achieved, only a cash bonus will be paid.



|· |  | 2014 Broad-Based Share Ownership Plan
|- |  | -------------------------------------

In June 2014, Telecom Italia launched a Broad-Based Share Ownership Plan,
under which all employees, with a permanent contract with Telecom Italia S.p.A. and its subsidiaries registered in Italy, could subscribe to acquire shares at a 10% discount relative to the average official price of Telecom Italia shares in the
month prior to the subscription period (the subscription price was 0.84 euro cents).

The Plan also provided for the free allocation of ordinary shares, subject to
the shares subscribed being retained for one year and continuation of employment with companies of Telecom Italia Group. On August 4, 2015, employees that satisfied these requirements were allocated shares of Telecom Italia as bonus shares, in a
ratio of 1 bonus share for every 3 shares subscribed.

CALCULATION OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF THE GRANTED OPTIONS AND RIGHTS

The fair value of the options relating to the 20142016 Stock Option Plan was calculated using the Monte Carlo method according to the calculation
parameters reported in the following table.

For the 2010-2015 LTI plan, the following was measured:



| | · |  | the debt component, determined as follows:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  | 65%, linked to reaching Total Shareholder Return targets, was calculated as the average of the levels of expected bonus weighted by the probability of occurrence of the related scenarios; such probability is measured
using the Monte Carlo method;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 35%, linked to reaching Free Cash Flow targets, was calculated as the bonus level according to the best estimate of expected Free Cash Flow with reference to the data of the Telecom Italia three-year plan;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | the equity component, determined as the theoretical value of the right to the bonus share calculated as the fair value of a 24-month call option on Telecom Italia ordinary shares, starting in three years.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effects on the income statement and statement of financial position

Equity compensation plans which call for payment in equity instruments are recorded at fair value which represents the cost of such instruments at the grant date and is
recorded in the separate income statements under Employee benefits expenses over the period between the grant date and the vesting period with a contra-entry to the equity reserve Other equity instruments. For the portion of
the plans that provide for the payment of compensation in cash, the amount is recognized in liabilities as a contra-entry to Employee benefits expenses; at the end of each year such liability is measured at fair value.

Equity compensation plans which call for payment in equity instruments did not have significant impacts either on the income statements or the statements of financial
position or of cash flows of the Telecom Italia Group at December 31, 2015.

NOTE 42EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 2015

Telecom Italia 8-year bond issue for 750 million euros

On January 13, 2016,
Telecom Italia S.p.A. successfully completed the launch of a fixed-rate bond issue for 750 Million euros, offered to institutional investors, opening the 2016 Italian corporate bond issuers market.

The demand for these bonds confirmed a generally positive disposition by the international financial community with respect to Telecom Italias debt instruments,
and allowed the company to price the issue with a coupon of 3.625%, the second lowest of the outstanding bonds under the Groups EMTN Program, with a yield lower than initial guidance.

The yield of the bond, of 3.679%, is much lower than the Groups average cost of debt, which was 5.3% at the end of September 2015.

The proceeds of the new issue will be used to refinance maturing debt.
