The data on shareholdings specified above is as recorded by the Company on the basis of communications received by the end of yesterday, 29 April 2015 (twenty-one days prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting - the cut-off date for the certification of ownership of the shareholding necessary to validly submit slates). Any acts exercising the right to candidature not deposited promptly with the issuer (i.e. as per applicable regulations, by the twenty-fifth day prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting date: 25 April 2015) and any acts that, although deposited in a timely manner, were not followed up by promptly communication proving the entitlement of the shareholder, were excluded from the calculation.
The verification of entitlement resulted in the exclusion of the slate of candidates submitted by the association of small shareholders AS.A.T.I. - Associazione Azionisti Telecom Italia and by numerous retail shareholders. This was because the Company had received certificates of ownership of a number of shares falling below the submission threshold of 0.5% of the capital with voting rights.
The information required by Article 144-octies, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Issuer Regulations, in particular curricula vitae and candidates’ declarations, will be made available to the public at the company offices, on the Telecom Italia web site, www.telecomitalia.com/assemblea and at storage mechanism “1INFO” (www.1info.it).
To ensure complete information, please note that, in submitting its slate, Telco S.p.A.
- proposed Gianluca Ponzellini for the office of Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, if Telco's slate should be the minority slate;
- anticipated its intention of proposing that the Shareholders’ Meeting establish the annual gross compensation of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors as 135,000 euros and the gross annual compensation of each Standing Auditor apart from the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, as 95,000 euros.
