S.p.A. otherwise than under the merger offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

 

Special
meeting of savings shareholders.

Report
of the common representative

 

The
special meeting of the savings shareholders had been called by the common representative pursuant to art. 146, subsection 2, of
the CLFI to resolve on the following agenda:

 

		1.	Communications
of the common representative on the settlement and judicial initiatives undertaken. Related and consequent resolutions.

		2.	Report
                                         of the common representative. Related and consequent resolutions.

		3.	Determination
                                         of the fees of the appointed professionals. Supplementation of the expense fund. Related
                                         and consequent resolutions.

 

		1.	Communications
of the common representative

After
the indications that emerged from the shareholders' meeting on 3 July last, and based on the opinion dated 2 July 2015 drawn up
by legal counsels Prof. Marco S. Spolidoro and Prof. Andrea Perrone, the common representative met some high officials of Telecom
Italia Media (hereinafter, "TEM") and Telecom Italia (hereinafter, "TI") on 16 July last. In that meeting,
he illustrated the aspects of the merger by the incorporation of TEM into TI disputed by the savings shareholders, and delivered
a short document, annexed here at A, containing a brief summary of the arguments that underlie the criticisms raised by the savings
shareholders, and quantifying the relevant terms for a possible settlement, was delivered. The document was collected by the TEM
officers for transmission to the board of directors of the company, the meeting of which, it was stated, would be held on 17 July.

In
the savings shareholders' meeting of 17 July, no settlement proposal had been received from the board of directors of TEM. However,
during the debate at the meeting, further criteria emerged for the determination of the content of the settlement agreement, and
some elements were specifically indicated:

		-	the
relevant amount:

		-	a
                                         mechanism for redistributing the amount due to the shareholders who had not made the
                                         pro quota request for the settlement, and the shareholders who had made said request;

		-	the
                                         possibility that those shareholders who had exercised the right of withdrawal to benefit
                                         from the settlement.

After
the shareholders' meeting on 17 July, and a series of informal consultations with some savings shareholders, the common representative
agreed a new meeting with the

 

    1 

     

    

company
which, for that purpose, requested that written proposals be formulated for submission to the board of directors. The meeting
took place on 29 July, in the presence of the legal advisors of the common representative, the Chairman of the board of directors
of TEM, Prof. Severino Salvemini, connected in teleconferencing, some other officers of TEM and TI, and the legal advisors of
TEM. The settlement proposal annexed at B was delivered in this meeting.

Compared
to the document delivered at the previous meeting on 16 July, and with the guidelines formulated by some shareholders in the shareholders'
meeting on 17 July, the proposal envisaged:

		-	the
                                         possibility that those shareholders who had exercised the right of withdrawal could participate
                                         in the settlement;

 

    2 

     

    

		-	a
                                         sum lower than the sum that could be determined based on the document of 16 July, but
                                         significantly higher than the sum contained in the guidelines;

		-	a
                                         legal form of the operation that could limit possible contingent liabilities for TI.

In
delivering the proposal, the common representative expressly stated his willingness to consider the company's counter-proposals,
inspired by a genuine intention to settle.

However,
as illustrated in the company's press release on 31 July last, the proposal was not accepted, now were other proposals formulated
by the company, since it considered that the operation had not prejudiced the rights of the category, and that the company's actions
had been fully correct and in accordance with the applicable law.

Faced
with this refusal, in consideration of the imminent expiry of the period of time within which the operation could be legally challenged,
and based on the resolution of 27 April last with which the savings shareholders' meeting had resolved, by a very large majority,
to not approve the merger, the common representative therefore appointed Prof. Marco S. Spolidoro, Prof. Andrea Perrone and Prof.
Paolo Venturini, advocates at law, to pursue the pertinent actions before the competent courts.

The
writ of summons challenging the merger resolution before the competent specialised court was served on 7 August last.

  

Report of the common representative

With reference to the activity performed
up to 31 July 2015, the common representative drafted the following report:

		Ø	expense fund made available to the Common Representative by means of a credit to a current account
earmarked for this purpose: 200,000.00 euros;

		Ø	the disbursements to date regard:

		-	publication of the information notice to the savings shareholders in IlSole24Ore
on 29 May last, in accordance with the resolution made by the shareholders' meeting on 27 April last for a total of €17,000.00
+ the legally applicable VAT (and thus a total of 20,740.00 euros): and

		-	the costs and expenses of the current account into which the expense fund
for the activities of the common representative of the interests of the savings shareholders had been deposited. The total amount
of commissions and tax expense on the current account, debited to the account itself, up to the moment this Report was prepared,
total €10.34;

		Ø	the payments that certainly will be made in the near future regard:

		-	the cost of the single fee for the listing of the case of which notice was
served on 7 August 2015, totalling €3,399.00;

		Ø	the expenses incurred, in accordance with the estimates indicated and subsequently
formalised in writing, regarding the costs of legal and technical advice for the extrajudicial activities carried out to 31 July
2015, comprising:

		-	the fee for the professionals who are currently members of the legal team,
Prof. Marco S. Spolidoro, Prof. Andrea Perrone and Prof. Paolo Venturini, for a total of €20,000 each, plus the legally applicable
ancillary costs;

		-	the fee for technical advice from Prof. Giuseppe Sancetta for €20,000.00
plus the legally applicable ancillary costs.

		Ø	the expense commitments further include the costs of legal advice for the activity of professionals
who refused the case, Prof. Giuseppe

 

 

    3 

     

    

Guizzi
and Prof. Raffaele Cappiello, advocates at law. In refusing the case, the aforementioned professionals asked the common representative
to determine the fees owed to them. Given the activity they carried out, it seems reasonable to determine their fees at €15,000
each, plus the legal ancillary costs.

 

Determination
of the fees of the appointed professionals. Supplementation of the expense fund.

Given
the legal challenge notified on 7 August, the legal costs must be considered. On this point, the estimates drawn up by the professionals
regarding the dispute phase will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.

Considering
the summary at 31 July last, any approval of said estimates already means that the expense fund in its current form is insufficient,
and, as a result, needs to be supplemented based on the estimates indicated above. In addition, the further expenses that can
be foreseen to protect the category, such as the fees for technical consultants of the parties and those appointed by the court,
in the case brought before the ordinary judicial authorities must be added, as must the communication costs and the costs of any
appeals. In addition, the fee for the activity of the common representative until the end of the dispute must be added, as must
a sum for expenses that cannot be predicted at this point. Considering that the decision on this matter is affected by the decision
on the trial strategy to be adopted in the continuation of the challenge proceedings, including precautionary measures, the shareholders
are invited to formulate proposals for the quantification of the fund and its allocation to the various categories of expenses,
to the shareholders' meeting.

Common Representative of the savings Shareholders of Telecom Italia Media

Memorandum

 

1.With
reference to the resolution of the extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of Telecom Italia Media s.p.a. (hereinafter,
“TEM”) on 8 April 2010 regarding an increase in capital:

 

		a)	the
                                         implicit par value of the ordinary shares is reduced by €0.30 to €0.14556913;

 

		b)	compliance
                                         with article 2346, subsection 1, of the Italian Civil Code would have required the implicit
                                         value of the savings shares to be adjusted to that of the ordinary shares;

 

		c)	as
                                         a result, the savings shares should have been divided, and the savings shareholders
                                         should have had 11,328,537 shares and not 5,496,951 shares.

 

2.With
reference to the resolution of the extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of TEM on
24 April 2014:

 

		a)	the
                                         reduction of the share capital tout court, instead of the share capital net
                                         of the part corresponding to the savings shares is in open contrast with the provision
                                         contained in article 6, subsection 12, of the TEM by-laws;

 

		b)	this
                                         resolution prejudices the rights of the savings shareholders
                                         and therefore, pursuant
                                         to article 2367, subsection 1 of the Italian Civil Code, requires
                                         the approval of the special meeting of those shareholders in the category affected;

 

		c)	the
                                         absence of said approval, therefore means that the resolution of the extraordinary
                                         shareholders' meeting of TEM is not efficacious.

 

3.From
a different perspective, the application of the arithmetic mean of the closing prices in the half-year preceding the merger
would have produced an exchange ratio of "old" savings shares to "new"
of 0.87 instead of 0.47 as quantified during the operation. Similarly, applying
the two different exchange ratios to the price of the Telecom Italia savings shares on 13 July (= € 0.96), the
difference equals € 0.38 per share.

 

The
table below shows the damage suffered by the TEM savings shareholders in the two possible scenarios.

 

	SCENARIO	NUMBER
    OF SHARES	DAMAGE
(€ 0.38 x n.shares) 

	Current
    situation	5,496,951	€2,088,841.38
	Correct
    situation	11,328,537	€4,304,844.06

 

4.Finally,
it should be noted that Persidera s.p.a., 70% owned by TEM, has advanced a claim for compensation of damages for €240
million from AGCOM, the Ministry of Economic Development and other subjects. Hence the benefits for the savings shareholders
related to the success of this claim should also be considered.

To

Settlement
proposal by the Common Representative of the savings shareholders of Telecom Italia Media s.p.a. regarding the planned merger
of TEM into Telecom Italia s.p.a.

 

 

Dear
Sirs,

 

further
to our discussions at the previous meeting, on 16 July last, between the Common Representative of the savings shareholders and
the representatives of Telecom Italia Media s.p.a. (hereinafter, "TEM"), with their respective legal advisors, as well
as to the Memorandum of the Common Representative, delivered at that meeting and annexed to this document, containing the description
of the defects of:

 

(1)the
resolutions of the extraordinary meetings of the shareholders of TEM on 8 April 2010 and on 24 April 2014, and, as a consequence,
in the resolution approving the merger by incorporation of TEM into Telecom Italia s.p.a. (hereinafter, "T"), dated
30 April 2015, and

 

(2)the
exchange ratio of the TEM savings shares to the TI savings shares, with quantification of the damage suffered by the savings shareholders
of TEM.

 

1.As
known, the discussion of the settlement pursuant to art. 146, subsection 1, letter d) of legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February
1998 was placed on the agenda of the extraordinary meeting of the savings shareholders on 3 July at the initiative of a savings
shareholder who - in the explanatory report supplementing the agenda - expressly invited the Common Representative "to be
an active and diligent party to define, with the Company, a settlement solution, drawing up a text to submit to the counterparty
and the shareholders' meeting for approval".

 

Further,
in the meeting of the TEM savings shareholders on 17 July of this year, the minutes of which have not yet been released, the same
savings shareholder, recalling that the criterion used to define the exchange ratio of TEM savings shares and TI savings shares
in the merger operation implied that a dispute could arise, invited the Common Representative to continue negotiations with the
issuer, taking account of some guidelines illustrated in the meeting.

 

2.In
light of these elements, and in consideration of the TEM letter signed by Mr. Luigino Giannini on 28 July last, I hereby submit
to the Board of Directors a proposed settlement agreement with the following features:

 

		a)	the
                                         renunciation by the savings shareholders of any claim of any kind deriving from
	 	 	 
	 	 	(1)the
defects of the resolutions of the extraordinary meetings of the shareholders of TEM on 8 April 2010 and on 24 April 2014, and
in consequence of the merger resolution, and

 

 

    8 

     

    

			(2)the
defects of the exchange ratio of TEM savings shares and TI savings shares also from the perspective of any benefits arising from
the positive outcome of the proceedings issued by Persidera s.p.a. against, among others, AGCOM and the Ministry of Economic Development;

 

		b)	the
                                         recognition, by TEM, in exchange for said renunciation, of the all-inclusive sum of €
                                         4,304,844.06, as quantified in the Memorandum of the Common Representative delivered
                                         to the representatives of TEM in the meeting on 16 July last;

 

		c)	the
                                         making available of the sum thus determined in favour of all the savings shareholders,
                                         including those who have already exercised their right of withdrawal;

 

		d)	the
                                         possibility for the savings shareholders to benefit from the transaction by the agreed
                                         setting of a further period of time within which the right of withdrawal may be exercised,
                                         and the definition of a settlement value for those shares for which withdrawal is exercised
                                         of € [(4,304,844.06/5,496,951) + 0.6032 =] 1.3863, and consequent acknowledgement
                                         of a balance of € 0.7831 per share owed to those shareholders who have exercised
                                         their right of withdrawal in the period prior to 11 June 2015.

 

I
look forward to your reply. Cordially

 

The
Common Representative of the savings shareholders

 

Mr.
Dario Romano Radaelli

                                         the approval of the special meeting of those shareholders in the category affected;

Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire, directly or indirectly, stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in Capital Southwest or CSWI or otherwise jeopardize qualification of the Contribution and Share Distribution for
Tax-Free Status, 
 unless prior to taking any such action (A) it shall provide the other Party with an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to the other Party in the other Party’s discretion, which discretion shall be exercised in good faith to preserve the Tax-Free Status (and in determining whether an opinion is satisfactory, the other Party may consider, among other

(a) If either Party (the “Acting Party”) notifies the other Party (the “Non-Acting Party”) that it desires to
take one of the actions described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.02(c) (a “Notified Action”), the parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable best efforts to attempt to obtain the Unqualified Tax

taken by each Party, individually, or to actions taken by both Parties (whether or not such actions are the same), responsibility for such Tax-Related Loss shall be shared by Capital Southwest and CSWI according to relative fault.
