The placement price, at €7.45 per share, was at the upper limit of the range announced to investors. Settlement is scheduled for Friday 8th November; inclusive of the greenshoe option, gross aggregate revenues should be in the region of €558,750,000.

This operation brings the Telecom Italia Group close to completing its €5 billion disposals plan within 12 months, far in advance of the 24 months stated in the initial announcement.
