1. Legal grounds and main characteristics of the Offer The transaction described in the Offer Document consists of a voluntary public totalitarian cash and exchange offer (the “ Offer ” or the “ Transaction ”) promoted by Poste Italiane S.p.A.
(“Poste ” or “Poste Italiane ” or the “ Offeror ”) – pursuant to and for the purposes of Articles 102 and 106, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree of 24 February 1998, No. 58, as subsequently amended and supplemented (the “ TUF”), as well as the applicable implementing provisions contained in the regulation on issuers, adopted by CONSOB by resolution of 14 May 1999, No.

(“ Borsa Italiana ”), less the No. 429,363,990 Issuer ’s Shares held by Poste, representing 20.104% of the Issuer ’s share capital as of the Offer Document Date (the “ Poste Shareholding ”).
In particular, the Offer is promoted on maximum No. 2,135,725,819 ordinary shares of TIM (the “ TIM Shares ” or “ Issuer’s Shares ”), i.e., all of the ordinary shares issued by TIM as of the Offer Document Date, including the No. 13,141,313 treasury shares held by the Issuer as of the Offer Document Date (the “ Treasury Shares ”), corresponding to approximately 0.62% of the Issuer’s share capital as of the Offer Document Date , less the No. 429,363,990 TIM Shares representing the Poste Shareholding.
Therefore, as of the Offer Document Date, the Offer covers a maximum of No. 1,706,361,829 Issuer’s Shares , representing 79.896 % of the entire share capital of TIM (the “ Shares Subject to the Offer ”).
The Offer is promoted in Italy pursuant to Articles 102 and 106, paragraph 4, of the TUF.
The Offer has not been and will not be promoted in the Excluded Countries.

Furthermore, as announced by TIM on 10 June 2026, following the resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of TIM of 15 April 2026, registered at the competent Companies’ Register on 4 June 2026, TIM proceeded, on 15 June 2026, to implement the TIM Share Reverse Split (with the related share capital remaining unchanged) of the No.
21,357,258,195 ordinary shares of TIM at a ratio of No. 1 new share with regular dividend rights for every No. 10 ordinary shares in circulation, with a resulting reduction in the total number of shares to No. 2,135,725,819.
As a result of the Conversion and the TIM Share Reverse Split, the share capital of TIM is represented , as of the Offer Document Date, by a total of No. 2,135,725,819 TIM Shares .
The decision to promote the Offer was announced by means of a communication disseminated on 22 March 2026 (the “ Communication Date ”) pursuant to Articles 102, paragraph 1, of the TUF and 37 of the Issuers’ Regulation (the “ Offeror’s Communication ”).
Also on the Communication Date, the notice convening the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Offeror for 18 June 2026, in single calling, (the “ Offeror’s Shareholders’ Meeting ”) was published, to resolve on the proposal to delegate to the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, the share capital increase with exclusion of the option right pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, o f the Italian Civil Code, in divisible form and also in one or more tranches , to be subscribed by the Tendering Shareholders and to be paid -in through (and in exchange for) the contribution in kind of the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer during the Acceptance Period , as possibly extended, and/or during the Reopening of the Acceptance Period (or in any case contributed to Poste in exercise of the Squeeze -Out Right and in fulfilment , as the case may be, of the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF or the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF, where the relevant conditions are met) (respectively, the “ Delegation ” and the “ Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer ”).
Furthermore, on 2 3 March 2026, the Offeror, pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 102, paragraph 2, of the TUF, informed the workers’ representatives of the publication of the Offeror’s Communication.
Without prejudice to the Offeror’s decisions regarding the fulfilment (or non -fulfilment) of the Threshold Condition within the terms set out in Section A, Paragraph A.1.4 below , the objective of the Offer, in light of the reasons and future plans relating to the Issuer, as further specified in Section G, Paragraph G.2.1 , of the Offer Document, is to acquire the entire share capital of the Issuer and to achieve the Delisting of the TIM Shares from Euronext Milan. The Offeror believes, in fact, that the Delisting will further the objectives of integration, creation of synerg ies and growth of Poste Italiane and TIM.
On 10 April 2026, the Offeror filed the Offer Document with CONSOB pursuant to Article 102, paragraph 3, of the TUF and notified the market by means of a dedicated press release pursuant to Article 37-ter, paragraph 3, of the Issuers’ Regulation.
18 On 18 June 2026, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Poste approved the proposal of Delegation for the execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer. The resolution was registered in the Companies ’ Register of Rome on 25 June 2026. For further details, please refer to the documentation made available to the public, inter alia , on the Poste Italiane website www.posteitaliane.it . In execution of the Delegation , on 7 July 2026, the Board of Directors of Poste resolved to execute the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer for a maximum total nominal amount of EUR 371,986,879, plus share premium, with the issue of a maximum of No. 371,986,879 ordinary shares, with no indication of par value, with regular dividend rights and the same characteristics as those outstanding at the date of issue, with the exclusion of the right of option pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, first sente nce, of the Italian Civil Code. For further details, please refer to the documentation made available to the public, inter alia, on the Poste Italiane website www.posteitaliane.it . As of the Offer Document Date, the Offeror has obtained the Bank of Italy Authorisation . For further details on the Other Authorisations obtained as of the Offer Document Date , please refer to Paragraph A.1.2 of the Offer Document.
The Offer is subject to the Conditions of Effectiveness described in Section A, Paragraph A.1, of the Offer Document and is addressed to all shareholders of the Issuer, without distinction and on equal terms, without prejudice to the provisions of Section F, Paragraph F.4, of the Offer Document.
2. Consideration and Maximum Disbursement of the Offer The Offeror’s Communication provided that, subject to the following, for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, Poste would offer an overall unit consideration comprising the following components: a cash component equal to EUR 0.167 and a securities component equal to No. 0.0218 newly issued ordinary shares of the Offeror.
As a result of the TIM Share Reverse Split , which became effective as from 15 June 2026, the Consideration of the Offer , as announced in the Offeror’s Communication, has been adjusted to take into account such corporate transaction, whilst the economic substance of the Offer itself remains unchanged.
Therefore, if the Conditions of Effectiveness are fulfilled (or waived) and the Offer is accordingly completed, the Offeror will recognise, for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, an overall unit consideration not subject t o adjustment (except as indicated below), comprising:
(i) a cash component equal to EUR 1.67 (the “ Cash Component ”), and (ii) a component represented by the Poste Shares issued in execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer, equal to No. 0.218 Poste Shares with regular dividend rights and the same characteristics as the ordinary shares of the Offeror already outstanding at the issue date, which will be listed on Euronext Milan, for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of t he Offer (the “ Shares Component ” and, together with the Cash Component, the “ Consideration ”).
Therefore, by way of illustration, for every No. 500 Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, No. 109 newly issued Poste Shares and EUR 835.00 will be paid (subject to the adjustment described below).
19 On the basis of the official price of the Poste shares recorded at the close of 20 March 2026 (the last Trading Day preceding the Communication Date) (the “ Reference Date ”), equal to EUR 21.462 (the “ Poste Reference Price ”), the Consideration ( i.e., the sum of the Cash Component and the Shares Component) expresses a valuation equal to EUR 0.635 (ante TIM Share Reverse Split) and EUR 6.35 ( post TIM Share Reverse Split) for each Issuer’s Share (the “TIM Reference Price ”) and, therefore, incorporates a premium equal to 9.01% with respect to the official price of the Issuer’s Shares recorded at the Reference Date (equal to EUR 0.583 , ante TIM Share Reverse Split ).
In the Offeror’s Communication, Poste had declared the following: “given that Poste announced to the market on 26 February 2026 that the distribution of the Poste Final Dividend will be submitted to the shareholders for approval, the Consideration is intended as ex Poste Final Dividend, since it is assumed that, prior t o the Payment Date, the shareholders’ meeting of Poste will resolve upon the distribution of said Poste Final Dividend. In this regard, it should be noted that , as announced to the market on 26 February 2026, subject to approval by the general meeting of shareholders, the ex -dividend date for the Poste Final Dividend will be on 22 June 2026, with payment on 24 June 2026 ”.
The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Offeror resolved – having regard to the amount already distributed as an interim dividend for the 2025 financial year on 26 November 2025, equal to EUR 0.40 per Poste share – to distribute the Poste Final Dividend equal to EUR 0.85 for each outstanding Poste share entitled to the dividend payment at the anticipated entitlement date. The distribution of the Poste Final Dividend took place, in accordance with applicable law and regulations, with the ex -dividend date on 22 June 202 6 and payment on 24 June 2026.
As indicated in the Offeror’s Communication, for the purposes of the Consideration and the Maximum Disbursement of the Offer, the Offeror shall take into account any TIM Share Buy -
back and any TIM Share Cancellation (as defined below) should such transactions be completed prior to the Payment Date.
In any event, should prior to the Payment Date the Issuer and/or the Offeror pay a dividend to shareholders (other than the Poste Final Dividend), or should the coupon relating to dividends resolved but not yet paid be detached from the Shares Subject to the Offer and/or the Offeror’s shares, as the case may be, and/or, without prejudice to the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer (and in any event should the Offeror waive one of such Conditions of Effectiveness, where applicable ), the Issuer approve or implement any transaction relating to its share capital and/or the Issuer’s Shares (other than the TIM Share Buy -back, the TIM Share Cancellation and the TIM Share Reverse Split , as defined below), the Offeror shall take the above into account for the purposes of adjusting the Consideration and/or the Maximum Disbursement of the Offer.
Any adjustment to the Consideration as a result of the foregoing shall be disclosed in the manner and within the time frames required by applicable law.
The Consideration shall be net of stamp duty, where due, and of fees, commissions and expenses which shall remain payable by the Offeror. Any substitute tax on capital gains, where due, shall remain the responsibility of the Tendering Shareholders.
In the event that all the Shares Subject to the Offer are tendered in acceptance of the Offer:
20
- a maximum amount equal to EUR 2,849,624,254. 43, as the maximum aggregate amount of the Cash Component, will be paid to the Tendering Shareholders; and
- a maximum of No. 371,986,879 newly issued Poste Shares, as the maximum aggregate amount of the Shares Component, will be issued in favour of the Tendering Shareholders, representing 28.48% of the share capital of Poste Italiane as of the Offer Document Date and 22.17% of the share capital of Poste following execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer (fully diluted ), (collectively, the “ Maximum Disbursement ”).
On the basis of the official price of the Offeror’s shares recorded at the Reference Date equal to EUR 21.4621, the maximum aggregate countervalue of the Offer, again in the event of full acceptance of the Shares Subject to the Offer, will be approximately EUR 10,833,217,80 5.17, an amount equal to the sum of the maximum aggregate “monetary” valuation of the Shares Component ( i.e., EUR 7,983,593,55 0.74) and the maximum aggregate Cash Component ( i.e., EUR 2,849,624,254. 43) (the “ Maximum Overall Countervalue of the Offer ”).
For further information on the methods for determining the Consideration, please refer to Section E of the Offer Document.
The Poste Shares issued in connection with the Offer, amounting to a maximum of No.
371,986,879 , derive from the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer resolved by the Board of Directors of the Offeror on 7 July 2026, in exercise of the Delegation granted by the Offeror’s Shareholders’ Meeting of 18 June 2026, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code (for further details on the resolutions passed by the Offeror’s Shareholders’ Meeting of 18 June 2026, please ref er to the press release issued by the Offeror to the market on that date, available on the Poste Italiane website at www.posteitaliane.it ).
It should be noted that the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer is subject to the provisions of Articles 2440 and 2343 -ter et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, concerning share capital increases to be paid -in through contributions in kind.
The Offeror has therefore jointly appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Business Services S.r.l.
(“PwC ”) and Prof. Eugenio Pinto (“ EP” and, together with PwC, the “ Independent Expert ”) pursuant to Article 2343 -ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code, to prepare the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer.
On 19 May 2026, the Independent Expert issued its appraisal on the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer (the “ Appraisal ”). In the Appraisal, the Independent Expert concluded that, as of 19 May 2026, based on the economic and equity position as of 31 March 2026 and the elements and methods described in the Appraisal, the fair value of the TIM Shares is not less than EUR 0.685 per each TIM Share ( ante TIM Share Reverse Split) . Therefore, as of the same date, assuming the effectiveness of the TIM Share Reverse Split, the fair value of the TIM Shares is to be understood as not less than EUR 6.85 per each TIM Share.
Pursuant to applicable law, the value attributed, for the purpose of determining the share capital and the share premium, to the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of
1Source: Euronext, used considering all the decimal digits made available by Euronext (21.46203) and represented up to the third decimal digit only.
21 the Offer must be equal to or less than the value indicated in the updated Appraisal of the Independent Expert.
For further information on the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer, please refer to Section A, Paragraph A.5, of the Offer Document.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the above will apply, mutatis mutandis , in the event that the conditions for the Reopening of the Acceptance Period and/or for the fulfilment of the Joint Procedure are met.
The Poste Shares offered as the Shares Component of the Consideration will carry the same rights as the existing and outstanding Poste shares and will be listed and traded on Euronext Milan. The listing of the Poste Shares offered to the Tendering Sharehol ders will take place automatically, in accordance with Article 2.4.1 of the Stock Exchange Regulations, as they will be fungible with the Poste shares already admitted to trading and will have the same characteristics.
3. Rationale of the Offer and overview of future plans The Offeror has resolved to promote the Offer as part of its consolidated strategy as an operator active in the integrated provision of a wide range of products and services in the financial, insurance, logistics, telecommunications and utilities sectors, as well as acting as a strategic player in the development and strengthening of the Country’s technological infrastructure serving citizens, businesses and the Public Administration, through a “platform company” business model based on the integration of physical and digital channels that constitute the largest distribution network in Italy.
The sector comprising connectivity services, cloud data services , Internet of Things ( IoT), cyber -security and Artificial Intelligence of agents (“agentic” AI), in which both the Offeror and the Issuer operate, is characterised by a complex and rapidly evolving competitive environment, influenced by sudden accelerations and shifts in technological paradigms.
Operators in the sector operate within a regulatory framework harmonised at European level, aimed at promoting competition, access to infrastructure and user protection, as well as supporting the development of next -generation networks and the processes of r apid digitalisation of the economy. The sector therefore presents significant growth opportunities arising from new connectivity technologies , the reduction in the number of market participants ( see overview of key European and non -European countries) and the structurally growing demand for digital end-to-end services offered to retail customers , businesses and public administrations. In this context, the ongoing digital and Artificial Intelligence (agentic) revolution in the sector is set to further accelerate demand for the services provided by the Issuer.
For further information, including on the expected synergies following the completion of the Transaction, please refer to Section A, Paragraph A.7.1 , and Section G, Paragraph G.2.2 , of the Offer Document.
4. Acquisition of the Poste Shareholding As of the Offer Document Date, the Offeror holds the Poste Shareholding equal to No.
429,363,990 Issuer’s Shares representing 20.10 4% of the Issuer’s share capital . Prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion, the Poste Shareholding represented approximately 27. 32% of the ordinary shares, corresponding to 19.61% of the share capital of TIM .
22 Poste came to hold the Poste Shareholding through a series of purchases, commenced on 15 February 2025 and, most recently, completed on 11 December 2025.
In particular , with regard to the acquisition of ordinary shares (the “ Acquisitions ”):
- on 15 February 2025, Poste acquired from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A.
approximately 9.81% of the ordinary share capital of TIM;
- on 29 March 2025, Poste announced the execution of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition from Vivendi SE of approximately 15% of the ordinary share capital of TIM (the “ Second Acquisition ”). The completion of the Second Acquisition took place on 23 May 2025;
- on 11 December 2025, Poste announced the acquisition from Vivendi SE of approximately 2.51% of the ordinary share capital of TIM. This latest acquisition also resulted in the crossing of the threshold then relevant, at the time of such Acquisition, for the purposes of the obligation to promote a public offer on TIM (i.e., 25%). In this regard, in the related press release, Poste had declared: “ Poste Italiane declares its intention to avail itself of the exemption under Article 106, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and Article 49, paragraph 1, letter e), of CONSOB Regulation No.
11971/1999. Accordingly – under the current regulatory framework – Poste Italiane undertakes to dispose of, to unrelated parties, the ordinary shares held in excess of the aforementioned relevant threshold within 12 months of completion of the purchase, refraining, in the meantime, from exercising the voting rights attached to such shares ”.
In light of the Conversion having become effective, this obligation has lapsed.
Furthermore, on 29 August 2025, Poste completed the acquisition of savings shares representing approximately 0.50% of TIM’s share capital at that date. Such shares were converted into ordinary shares upon completion of the Conversion in May 2026.
It should be noted that each of the Acquisitions was notified to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers pursuant to and for the purposes of Articles 1 and 2 of Decree -Law No. 21 of 15 March 2012, converted with amendments by Law No. 56 of 11 May 2012, as subsequently amended and supplemented, on the exercise of special powers in relation to investments in strategic sectors. Following such notifications, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers resolved not to exercise its special p owers, by means of communications dated 11 March 2025, 15 April 2025 and, most recently, 8 January 2026.
In relation to the Second Acquisition, it should also be noted that, on 21 May 2025, Poste notified the transaction to the Italian Competition and Market Authority (“ AGCM ”); the Italian Communications Authority (“ AgCom ”) was involved in the authorisation procedure and issued its opinion thereon. With regard to the assessments carried out by AGCM and AgCom, the following is noted:
- AGCM, at its meeting of 3 September 2025, resolved to approve the transaction without conditions, finding that “ the concentration under examination does not appear capable of significantly impeding competition in the affected markets or of creating or strengthening a dominant position ” (Proceeding C12726);
- AgCom, in its opinion submitted to AGCM pursuant to Law No. 249/1997, Article 1, paragraph 6, letter c), highlighted – among other things – the limited relevance of conglomerate competition risks (Resolution No. 216/25/CONS).

31 Bank of Italy issued the Bank of Italy Authorisation on 14 July 2026 ( measure ref. No.

It should be noted that the Offeror has also received the further authorisations required for the completion of the Transaction (the “Other Authorisations ” and, together with the Preliminary Authorisations, the “Authorisations ”). In particular:

A.4. Valuation Criteria Underlying the Determination of the Consideration Without prejudice to the following, the Offeror ’s Communication provides that for each Share of the Issuer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, the Consideration, not subject to adjustment (except as set out below), consists of:
35
- the Shares Component (represented, following the TIM Share Reverse Split, by No.
0.218 newly issued Poste Shares in execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer ); and
- the Cash Component (equal , following the TIM Share Reverse Split, to EUR 1.67).
In the Offeror ’s Communication, Poste declared as follows : “given that Poste announced to the market on 26 February 2026 that the distribution of the Poste Final Dividend will be submitted to the shareholders for approval, the Consideration is intended as ex Poste Final Dividend, since it is assumed that, prior to the Payment Date, the shareholders ’ meeting of Poste will resolve upon the distribution of said Poste Final Dividend. In this regard, it should be noted that , as announced to the market on 26 February 2026, subject to approval by the general meeting of shareholders, the ex -dividend date for the Poste Final Dividend will be on 22 June 2026, with payment on 24 June 2026 ”.
The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Offeror resolved – taking into account the amount already distributed as an interim dividend in respect of the 2025 financial year on 26 November 2025 equal to EUR 0.40 per Poste share – the distribution of the Poste Final Dividend equal to EUR 0.85 for each Poste share outstanding and entitled to the dividend payment on the expected ex -dividend date. The distribution of the Poste Final Dividend took place, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, with the ex -dividend date on 22 June 2 026 and payment on 24 June 2026 .
For the purposes of the Consideration and the maximum disbursement of the Offer, the Offeror shall take into account the possible TIM Share Buy -back and the possible TIM Share Cancellation (as defined below) should such transactions be completed prior to the Payment Date.
In any event, should, prior to the Payment Date, the Issuer and/or the Offeror pay a dividend to their shareholders (other than the Poste Final Dividend), or should the coupon relating to dividends resolved but not yet paid be detached from the Shares Subject to the Offer and/or the Offeror ’s shares, as the case may be, and/or, without prejudice to the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer (and in any event should the Offeror waive such Condition of Effectiveness, where applicable ), the Issuer approve or implement any transaction relating to its share capital and/or the Issuer ’s shares (other than the TIM Share Buy -back, the TIM Share Cancellation and the TIM Share Reverse Split , as defined below), the Offeror shall take the above into account for the purposes of adjusting the Consideration and/or the maximum disbursement of the Offer.
In light of the nature of the Consideration, which is also represented by the Shares Component (and therefore the newly issued Poste Shares offered in exchange for the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer ), the valuation analyses underlying the determination of the Consideration were carried out by the Offeror for the purpose of expressing a comparative estimate of the economic values of the Poste Group , on the one hand, and the TIM Group , on the other.
For further information on the analyses and valuations conducted by the Offeror for the purpose of determining the Consideration, please refer to Section E, Paragraph E.1, of the Offer Document .
36 A.5. The Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer A.5.1. Corporate Procedure Applicable to the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer The Shares Component is represented by Poste Shares to be issued in execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer , resolved by the Board of Directors of the Offeror on 7 July 2026, on the basis of the Delegation granted to that body by the Offeror ’s Shareholders ’ Meeting.
As indicated in the directors ’ explanatory report and in the information document prepared pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 70 of the Issuers ’ Regulation, made available to the public for the Offeror ’s Shareholders ’ Meeting, the Delegation relates to a maximum of No. 371,986,879 Poste Shares , to be paid up by means of contribution in kind of the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer . The maximum number of Poste Shares subject to the Delegation was calculated by Poste, as indicated in the directors ’ explanatory report and in the information document prepared pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 70 of the Issuers ’ Regulation, on the basis of the terms of the Offer in accordance with a highly conservative approach.
The Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer is subject to the provisions of Articles 2440 and 2343 -ter et seq. of the Italian Civil Code, concerning share capital increases to be paid up by means of contributions in kind.
In particular, the Offeror has resolved, pursuant to Article 2440, paragraph 2, of the Italian Civil Code, to avail itself of the provisions of Articles 2343 -ter and 2343 -quater of the Italian Civil Code for the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer, which, through a simplified procedure, exempts from the requirement of a sworn valuation report on the contributed assets prepared by an expert appointed by the court having jurisdiction over the registered office of the recipient company (i.e., the Court of Rome ), where the value attributed to the contributed assets, for the purposes of determining the share capital and any share premium, is “equal to or less than ” the value resulting from a valuation carried out no more than six months prior to the date of contribution and prepared in accordance with the principles and criteria generally recognised for the valuation of the assets subject to contribution, on the condition that such valuation is carried out by an independent expert (independent of the party making the contribution, the recipient company and the shareholders who individually or jointly exercise control over the contributing party or the company itself) and possessing adequate and proven professional expertise (for further details, please refer to Article 2343 -
ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code) .
The Offeror therefore jointly appointed PwC and EP as Independent Expert pursuant to Article 2343 -ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code , to prepare the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer. In this regard, the Independent Expert , on 19 May 2026 , issued the Appraisal. In the Appraisal, the Independent Expert concluded that, as of 19 May 2026 , based on the economic and financial position as at 31 March 2026 and the elements and methods described in its Appraisal, the fair value of the TIM Shares is not less than EUR 0.685 per TIM Share . Therefore, as of the same date, assuming the effectiveness of the TIM Share Reverse Split, the fair value of the TIM Shares is to be considered as not less than EUR 6.85 per TIM Share .
Lastly, on 7 July 2026, Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. issued its opinion on the fairness of the issue price of the Poste Shares to be issued in execution of the Offer, as determined by the Board
37 of Directors of the Offeror, pursuant to the combined provisions of Articles 2441, paragraph 4, first sentence and paragraph 6, of the Italian Civil Code, and Article 158, paragraph 1, of the TUF.
It should be noted that Article 2443, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code provides that, in cases (as in the present case) in which the recipient company has opted for the valuation of the contributed assets pursuant to the special regime set out in Articles 2343 -ter and 2343 -
quater of the Italian Civil Code, one or more shareholders representing, and who represented on the date of the board resolution approving the increase, at least one -twentieth of the share capital prior to the increase itself, may request, within a period of 30 (thirty) days from the registration with the companies ’ register of the board resolution approving the share capital increase ( i.e., by 7 August 2026), that a new valuation of the contributed assets be carried out, upon the initiative of the directors and pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code, by means of a sworn expert ’s report prepared by an expert appointed by the competent court (i.e., the Court of Rome ).
Furthermore, the aforementioned regime provided for by Articles 2343 -ter and 2343 -quater of the Italian Civil Code, applied in conjunction with the rules governing the share capital increase delegated by the shareholders ’ meeting to the Board of Directors (and, in particular, Article 2443, paragraph 4, first sentence, of the Italian Civil Code), provides that the Board of Directors of the Offeror, pursuant to the combined provisions of Articles 2343 -quater and 2440 of the Italian Civil Code, is required to issue, within 30 days from the execution of the contribution or, if later, from the date of registration with the Rome Companies ’ Register of the board resolution for the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer, a statement containing the information referred to in letters a), b), c) and e) of Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, namely: a) a description of the contributed assets (in this case, the Shares Subject to the Offer) in respect of which the report referred to in Article 2343, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code was not obtained; b) the value attributed to such assets, the source of such valuation and, where applicable, the valuation method; c) a declaration that such value is at least equal to the value attributed to them for the purposes of determining the share capital and any s hare premium; and e) a declaration of the adequacy of the professional expertise and independence requirements of the expert pursuant to Article 2343 -ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code.
With regard to the statement containing the information referred to in the aforementioned letters a), b), c) and e) of Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, it should be noted that such statement was issued by the Board of Directors of the Offeror on 7 July 2026 and is contained in the board resolution for the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer registered with the Rome Companies ’ Register on 8 July 2026 .
As regards letter d) of Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, Article 2443, paragraph 4, last sentence, of the Italian Civil Code provides that “the declaration that no exceptional or material facts have occurred which affect the valuation referred to in letter b) ” shall be filed by the directors of the recipient company with the companies ’ register only after the expiry of the 30 (thirty) day period described above, granted to the qualifying minority shareholders of the recipient company to request that a new valuation be carried out pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code ( i.e., by 7 August 2026 ).
Furthermore, it should be noted that, pursuant to Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, until the statement of Poste ’s directors containing the information referred
38 to in letter d) of that article is registered with the Rome Companies ’ Register, the Poste Shares issued in execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer that will be assigned to the Tendering Shareholders as the Shares Component of the Offer Consideration will be unavailable (and therefore may not be transferred) and must remain deposited with the Offeror.
It is also expected that the registration of such statement of Poste ’s directors with the competent Companies ’ Register will take place in good time before the Payment Date, so as to allow the Tendering Shareholders free availability of the Poste Shares that will be assigned to them as the Shares Component of the Offer Consideration on the Payment Date itself.
The Poste Shares resulting from the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer will be traded on the same market on which – at the time of their issue – the already outstanding shares of the Offeror will be traded. It should be recalled that, in relation to th e Poste Shares , the Offeror has published the Exemption Document, which is available to the public at the registered office and on the Offeror ’s internet website.
It should be noted that, in the event that, prior to the Consideration Payment Date, the Board of Directors of the Offeror were to identify exceptional or material new facts such as to materially alter the value of the contributed assets ( i.e., the value attributed to the Shares Subject to the Offer for the purposes of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer) and, therefore, such as to prevent the issuance of the statement of Poste ’s directors pursuant to Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, letter d), of the Italian Civil Code, the Board of Directors of the Offeror will be required to carry out a new valuation of the contributions in kind ( i.e., the Shares Subject to the Offer ) pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code and therefore to initiate the ordinary valuation procedure for contributions in kind by requesting the competent court to appoint an expert who will prepare, in compliance with the applicable regulations, a sworn valuation report on the contributed assets. Furthermore, also pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code, if, as a result of the review of the sworn report by the Board of Directors, it emerges that the value of the contributed assets was m ore than 1/5 less than the value for which the contribution was made, Poste will be required to apply the provisions set out in Article 2343, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code (including, where applicable, a reduction of the nominal share capital of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer).
Without prejudice to the foregoing, it should be noted that, as at the Offer Document Date, the Board of Directors of the Offeror has not identified any exceptional or material new facts requiring a further update of the appraisal issued pursuant to Articl e 2343 -ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code, or otherwise giving rise to the need to initiate, as at the Offer Document Date, the ordinary valuation procedure for contributions in kind, which requires a sworn expert ’s report prepared by an expert appointed by the competent court pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code.
For completeness, it should be noted that the foregoing shall apply, mutatis mutandis , in the event that the conditions for the Reopening of the Acceptance Period and/or the conditions for the fulfilment of the Joint Procedure arise.
A.5.2. Absence of Effects on the Offer Consideration It should be noted that, given that the shares of the Offeror (including the Poste Shares issued in execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer) have no par value, any recourse to
39 the ordinary valuation procedure for contributions in kind pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code – whether following a possible minority request pursuant to Article 2443, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, or following the possible failure to issue the statement of Poste ’s directors pursuant to Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, letter d) of the Italian Civil Code (for further information, please refer to Paragraph A.5 of Section A of the Offer Document) – will have no impact on the Shares Component , nor on the right of the Tendering Shareholders to be assigned the corresponding number of Poste Shares as part of the Offer Consideration; and this also in the event that, as a result of the ordinary valuation procedure pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code, it were to emerge that the value attributed to the Shares Subject to the Offer a s contributed assets is lower than that indicated in the Independent Expert ’s Appraisal issued pursuant to Article 2343 -ter, paragraph 2, letter b), of the Italian Civil Code , since in the hypothetical scenario mentioned above, in compliance with the fairness opinion issued by the auditing firm, this would result, where applicable, taking into account that the ordinary shares of the Offeror have no par value, in a reduction of t he amount of the share premium and of the nominal share capital of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer, but not of the number of Poste Shares to be issued as Consideration for the Offer , or of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, and/or as consideration for the Joint Procedure .
A.5.3. Possible Unavailability of the Poste Shares Offered as the Share Component of the
Consideration
In light of the regulations applicable to the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer and the procedure set out in Articles 2440 and 2343 -ter et seq. of the Italian Civil Code (for further information, please refer to Paragraph A.5.1 of Section A of the Offer Document), it should be noted that in the event of any recourse to the ordinary procedure for the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code by means of a sworn valuation report prepared by an expert appointed by the competent court – whether following a possible minority request by Poste ’s shareholders pursuant to Article 2443, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, or following the possible failure to issue the statement of Poste ’s directors pursuant to Article 2343 -quater , paragraph 3, letter d) of the Italian Civil Code – should such valuation procedure not be completed by the Payment Date or by the Payment Date of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period and/or by the payment date of the Joint Procedure , the Poste Shares that will be allocated to the Tendering Shareholders as Consideration for the Offer on the Payment Date or on the Payment Date of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period and/or on the payment date of the Joint Procedure will be unavailable until the completion of the ordinary procedure for the valuation of the Shares Subject to the Offer pursuant to Article 2343 of the Italian Civil Code, a procedure whose completion timetable cannot be determined in advance .
A.6. Treatment of Fractions of Poste Shares Offered as Consideration Given that for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, No. 0.218 Poste Shares post TIM Share Reverse Split (in addition to the Cash Component) will be allocated as the Shares Component of the Consideration , on the basis of the Exchange Ratio , the result of applying the Exchange Ratio to the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer by a Tendering Shareholder may not be a whole number of Poste Shares (i.e., where a Tendering Shareholder does not tender to the Offer at least No. 500
40 Shares Subject to the Offer , or a number of Shares Subject to the Offer equal to a whole multiple of 500).
Such fractional portions of the Poste Shares will be treated in accordance with what is indicated in Section F of the Offer Document.
A.7. Reasons for the Offer and Summary of the Offeror ’s Future Plans in relation to the
Issuer
A.7.1. Reasons for the Offer and Summary of Future Plans The Offeror has resolved to launch the Offer as part of its consolidated strategy as an operator active in the integrated provision of a wide range of products and services in the financial, insurance, logistics, telecommunications and utilities sectors, a s well as acting as a strategic player in the development and strengthening of the Country ’s technological infrastructure serving citizens, businesses and the Public Administration, through a “platform company ” business model based on the integration of physical and digital channels that constitute the largest distribution network in Italy.
The sector comprising connectivity services, cloud data services , Internet of Things ( IoT), cyber -security and Artificial Intelligence of agents ( “agentic ” AI), in which both the Offeror and the Issuer operate, is characterised by a complex and rapidly evolving competitive environment, influenced by sudden accelerations and shifts in technological paradigms.
Operators in the sector operate within a regulator y framework harmonised at European level, aimed at promoting competition, access to infrastructure and user protection, as well as supporting the development of next -generation networks and the processes of rapid digitalisation of the economy. The sector t herefore presents significant growth opportunities arising from new connectivity technologies, from the reduction in the number of market participants (see overview of key European and non -European countries) and from the structurally growing demand for di gital end-to-end services offered to retail customers , businesses and public administrations. In this context, the ongoing digital and Artificial Intelligence (agentic) revolution in the sector is set to further accelerate demand for the services provided by the Issuer.
In line with these developments in the sector, over the years the Issuer has initiated and progressively implemented a strategy to strengthen its economic and financial position, aimed at improving operating profitability, simplifying its industrial struct ure and reducing debt, including through extraordinary transactions and a more efficient allocation of capital.
This process has contributed to greater visibility of operating cash flows, a strengthening of financial sustainability and a clearer focus on a ctivities with higher added value. Furthermore, the advent of Artificial Intelligence presents a further opportunity to accelerate the optimisation of the Issuer ’s operational structure. In this context, the Offeror, which already holds the Poste Participation , and which therefore has a thorough understanding of the Issuer ’s industrial, operational and financial profile , intends to act as a source of support, reinforcement and acceleration for the continuation of this process, fostering further opportunities for development, efficiency and the enhancement of the industrial initiatives already under way also thanks to the c ontribution that the Offeror can provide in light of its role as a systemic company for the Country .
41 In light of the above, the Transaction forms part of an industrial and strategic framework consistent with the Offeror ’s long -term objectives, further strengthening its competitive position and creating value for all stakeholders, as it will enable the following:
- allow the Offeror an acceleration of growth along the path, started nine years ago, for the creation of a platform company that combines under the umbrella of the most advanced digital technology a varied set of products offered with the best possible user experience for the needs of a broad customer base. This strategy is the basis of the Offeror ’s results, which uses the significant physical presence across the national territory to support the digital transformation of customer services;
- strengthen a national champion characterised by scale, diversification and solidity sufficient to ensure a growing and sustainable cash generation capacity over time, and capable of playing a leading role in the process of strengthening of the sovereignty and digital transformation of the Country. Furthermore, on a combined basis, the Offeror will be able to pursue attractive growth opportunities in areas adjacent to telecommunications and other sectors;
- provide the Issuer with a robust and stable governance structure, with a significantly larger industrial scale and greater investment capacity to support the acceleration of digital and technological transformation programmes and the necessary infrastructu re investments, thereby strengthening the Issuer ’s competitive position;
- contribute to the reshaping of the Italian telecommunications sector, fostering the emergence of a leading operator with the financial capacity and scale to support the investment required for the management, maintenance, innovation of the national digital infrastructure and the provision of best -in-class services to its clients;
- combine the assets and expertise of the Offeror with the assets and expertise of the Issuer which , by their nature , have strong complementarities. In particular, on the one hand TIM ’s infrastructure – data centres and connectivity – and on the other the specialist assets and expertise developed by Poste in digital transformation in the hybrid cloud and AI field, as well as partnerships with technology players such as Google, AWS and Microsoft. The combination of these elements strengthens the credibility of the industrial proposition and makes it possible to present a more complete value proposition to clients, capable of covering both the infrastructure layer and the application and transformation layer with solutions relating to:
application modernisation, migration and management of hybrid/multi -cloud platforms , basic software licences, dedicated AI infrastructures and , progressively , also AI -based vertical services ;
- strengthen the Offeror ’s presence in the retail customer connectivity sector, which, through Poste ’s distribution platform , has reached approximately 5 million customers.
This strengthening in the sector will enable the Offeror to increase its cross -selling capacity to a customer base that is growing in numbers and whose spending power is likely to be higher than that of the Of feror ’s current customer base;
- leverage the Offeror ’s “P” App to foster cross -selling and up-selling opportunities by integrating the Issuer ’s products. The “P” App is in fact a fully scalable platform capable of rapidly integrating the Issuer ’s products, ensuring a smooth user experience that can support digital sales and facilitate access to post offices;
42
- develop the Country ’s critical infrastructure, with particular focus on supporting businesses and Public Administrations in their digitalisation processes, and on enhancing telecommunications networks, in line with national and European strategic guidelines on innovation, inf rastructure security and technological sovereignty;
- enhance the Offeror ’s expertise and assets in the field of Digital Identity services and multi -channel KYC identification models; in this context, it should be noted that Poste Italiane is the leading SPID Digital Identity Provider with a market share of over 70%, committed t o the future evolution towards Italian and European national and European Digital Identity Wallet models. The ability to verify the identity of the Customer in compliance with stringent legal and regulatory requirements whilst ensuring a frictionless user experience represents a process of fundamental importance in Poste Italiane ’s “platform ” and operational model, necessary both at the stage of entering into a relationship and for the management and maintenance of the relationship over time. In this area it will be possible to activate various synergies with the Issuer, contributing significa ntly to the overall value creation of the Poste
Group ;
- enhance the expertise of the Offeror ’s and the Issuer ’s human resources in their respective sectors of operation and client bases; in this context, it is also important to recognise that a company such as Poste Italiane, which represents a strategic infrastructure for the Country, not only has the responsibil ity but also the opportunity to establish itself as a hub capable of attracting and retaining the best talent, offering a solid, forward -looking path for the best skills of the Italian system. The advent of AI will profoundly reshape the professional lands cape: new roles requiring a high level of hybrid and specialist skills will emerge. Poste Italiane must champion this change along two complementary lines. On the one hand, it must make itself attractive to new professionals capable of accelerating digital transformation processes; on the other, it must develop its internal human capital, which is currently at risk of rapid professional ageing and skills obsolescence;
- create value for all shareholders, also thanks to the significant expected synergies, estimated on a pre -tax basis, at full scale, at least equal to EUR 0.7 billion per year, an amount that is expected to be achieved from the second year following completion of the Offer as regards cost synergies and from the third year as regards revenue
synergies2;
- achieve sustainable growth in profitability and expected returns for the benefit of all
shareholders;
- maintain and further strengthen the commitment to support the Italian economy and local communities, whilst preserving the widespread coverage of services across the country as well as the quality of the postal services and Public Administration (Polis) services provided by the Offeror.
For further information on the reasons for the Offer , the future plans relating to the Issuer, as well as the expected synergies, please refer to Section G, Paragraph G.2, of the Offer Document.
2 With the exception of funding synergies, which will be realised on a timeline consistent with the Issuer's debt maturity and refinancing profile .
43
* * * * As at the Offer Document Date, the Offer is not expected to have any materially adverse impacts on the human capital and existing operational sites of Poste and TIM.
It should further be noted that the Offeror has not prepared any business plan for the purposes of the Transaction.
A.8.

As at the Offer Document Date, it is the Offeror ’s intention to maintain the Issuer as a separate legal and corporate entity, for the purpose of preserving the operational continuity and goodwill value of the Issuer and the companies of the group headed by it in their respective business sectors, consist ently with what is indicated in the Offeror ’s Communication. In any event , the Offeror retains the right to assess and , subsequently, to carry out, in such manner and on such terms as it considers appropriate, any extraordinary transactions and/or corporate and business reorganisation measures, including in the event of failure to achieve a participation of at least 66.67% of the Issuer ’s share capital and a consequent possible waiver of the Threshold Condition, for the purpose of achieving the group structure considered most suitable for the achievement of the objectives of the Offer . With regard to any possible extraordinary transactions and/or corporate and business reorganisation measures , the Offeror notes that , in the event that the Threshold Condition does not occur and the Offeror decides to waive it, the Offeror will assess , also on the basis of the results of the Offer, the most appropriate actions to facilitate the objectives of integration, creation of synergies and growth (including actions and/or transactions from which the Delisting of the Issuer may derive) .
For further information provided to TIM ’s shareholders in relation to possible alternative scenarios regarding acceptance or non -acceptance of the Offer, please refer to Paragraph A.14 of Section A of the Offer Document.
A.9. Communications and Authorisations for the Carrying out of the Offer The Offer is not , as such , subject to the obtaining of any authorisation , except as indicated below with reference to the Bank of Italy Authorisation .

A.10. Reopening of the Acceptance Period The Offeror will voluntarily apply to the Offer the provisions relating to the mandatory reopening of the Acceptance Period pursuant to Article 40-bis, paragraph 1, letter a), of the Issuers ’ Regulation. Accordingly, as indicated in Section F, Paragraph Errore.

Should the conditions for the Reopening of the Acceptance Period arise, the Offeror will pay the Consideration to each TIM shareholder who has accepted the Offer during the Reopening of the Acceptance Period on the fifth Trading Day following the close of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period and, therefore, subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period, on 2 October 2026.
However, the Reopening of the Acceptance Period will not take place in the event that:
(i) the Offeror, at least 5 Trading Days prior to the close of the Acceptance Period, as possibly extended, announces to the market the fulfilment or waiver of the Threshold
Condition; or
(ii) at the end of the Acceptance Period , as possibly extended, the conditions for the Joint Procedure exist; or (iii) the Shares Subject to the Offer are the subject of one or more competing offers.
A.11. Declaration by the Offeror in relation to the fulfilment of the obligation to purchase pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF or the obligation to purchase pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF and the simultaneous exercise of the right to purchase pursuant to Article 111 of the TUF Since the Offer is aimed at the Delisting, in the event that, upon completion of the Offer, the Offeror were to hold – as a result of acceptances to the Offer, and/or of any purchases made outside the Offer itself pursuant to applicable law during the Acce ptance Period, as possibly extended and/or reopened – an aggregate participation, taking into account the Poste Participation already held by the Offeror, exceeding 90% but less than 95% of the Issuer ’s share capital, the Offeror hereby declares its intention not to restore a free float sufficient to ensure the orderly trading of TIM Shares.
Should , following the Offer – as a result of acceptances to the Offer , and/or of any purchases made outside the Offer itself in accordance with applicable law during the Acceptance Period ,
45 as possibly extended pursuant to applicable law , and/or reopened – the Offeror come to hold an aggregate participation , taking into account the Poste Participation already held by the Offeror, equal to at least 90% , the Offeror hereby declares its intention to avail itself of the right to purchase the remaining Shares Subject to the Offer pursuant to Article 111 of the TUF (the “Squeeze -Out Right ”). In such circumstance, moreover , the Offeror will be required, as the case may be, to:
- in the event that it has come to hold an aggregate participation, taking into account the Poste Participation already held by the Offeror, exceeding 90% but less than 95% of the Issuer ’s share capital , pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF , purchase from any requesting party the Shares Subject to the Offer not tendered in acceptance of the Offer and/or not purchased by the Offeror during the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, the remaining Shares Subject to the Offer from the Issuer ’s shareholders who so request ( the “Sell-Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF ”); or
- in the event that it has come to hold an aggregate participation, taking into account the Poste Participation already held by the Offeror, equal to or exceeding 95% of the Issuer ’s share capital , pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF, purchase from any requesting party the Shares Subject to the Offer not tendered in acceptance of the Offer and/or not purchased by the Offeror during the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, the remaining Sh ares Subject to the Offer from the Issuer ’s shareholders who so request (the “Sell-Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF ”).
Accordingly, the Offeror, by exercising the Squeeze -Out Right, will simultaneously fulfil the Sell-Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF, or, as the case may be, the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF, thereby giving rise to a single procedure (the “Joint Procedure ”).
It should be noted that, for the purposes of calculating the thresholds provided for in Articles 108 and 111 of the TUF, treasury shares held by the Issuer will be counted in the Offeror ’s participation (numerator) without being subtracted from the Issuer ’s share capital (denominator).
The consideration payable for the Shares Subject to the Offer purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Squeeze -Out Right and the fulfilment of the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF or the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF , in execution of the Joint Procedure, will be determined pursuant to the provisions of Article 108, paragraphs 3 or 4, of the TUF, as recalled by Article 111 of the TUF, as well as the provisions of Articles 50 and 50-bis of the Issuers ’ Regulation as recalled by Article 50 -quater of the Issuers ’ Regulation. Therefore:
(i) in the event that, following the Offer, the Offeror has purchased at least 90% of the voting share capital comprised in the Offer itself, the consideration for the Shares Subject to the Offer purchased pursuant to the Joint Procedure shall be identical to the Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Article 108, paragraph 3, of the
TUF; or
(ii) in all other cases, the consideration for the Shares Subject to the Offer purchased pursuant to the Joint Procedure will be determined in the amount established by
46 CONSOB in accordance with Article 108, paragraph 4, of the TUF and Articles 50 and 50-bis of the Issuers ’ Regulation.
The Offeror will disclose whether or not the legal conditions for the exercise of the Squeeze -
Out Right and, therefore, for the execution of the Joint Procedure have been met in the Communication on the Final Results of the Offer (or, in the event of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, in the Communication on the Final Results of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period) . In the event that the conditions for the execution of the Joint Procedure are met , the Communication on the Final Results of the Offer (or, in the event of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, in the Communication on the Final Results of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period) will contain information on (a) the number of remaining Shares Subject to the Offer (in absolute and percentage terms), (b) the manner and timing by which the Offeror will exercise the Squeeze -Out Right and simultaneously fulfil the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF or the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF (as the case may be) , giving rise to the Joint Procedure, and (c) the manner and timing of the Delisting. Prior to the commencement of the Joint Procedure, the Offeror will publish a press release containing information relating to the determination of the relevant consideration.
The Offeror will commence the Joint Procedure as soon as possible after the completion of the Offer.
It should be noted that, following the occurrence of the conditions for the Squeeze -Out Right and the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF or the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF , pursuant to Article 2.5.1, paragraph 6, of the Stock Exchange Regulations, Borsa Italiana will order the suspension and/or revocation of the Issuer ’s shares from trading on Euronext Milan, taking into account the timetable provided for the exercise of the Squeeze -Out Right.
For further information provided to TIM ’s shareholders in relation to possible alternative scenarios regarding acceptance or non -acceptance of the Offer, please refer to Paragraph A.14 of Section A of the Offer Document.
A.12.

A.14. Possible Alternative Scenarios for TIM ’s Shareholders The possible alternative scenarios for the Issuer ’s shareholders are set out below with respect to the hypotheses in which the Offer:
(i) is completed (a) as a result of the fulfilment of the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer, or (b) should one or more Conditions of Effectiveness not be fulfilled, as a result of the waiver thereof by the Offeror, distinguishing between the hypothesis of acceptance of the Offer and the hypothesis of non -acceptance of the Offer ; or (ii) is not completed as a result of the non -fulfilment of one or more of the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer without the Offeror having waived them.
50 A.14.1. Scenarios in the event of completion of the Offer A.14.1.1. Acceptance of the Offer In the event of fulfilment of the Conditions of Effectiveness (or in the event of waiver by the Offeror of all or some of the Conditions of Effectiveness) and, therefore, of completion of the Offer, the Issuer ’s shareholders who have accepted the Offer will receive the Consideration consisting of the Shares Component (equal to No. 0.218 Poste Shares ) and the Cash Component (equal to EUR 1.67) for each Share Subject to the Offer held by them and tendered in acceptance of the Offer and will, accordingly, also become shareholders of Poste.
In the event of completion of the Offer, on the Payment Date (or, in the case of acceptance during the Reopening of the Acceptance Period, on the Payment Date of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period , subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law ) the Tendering Shareholders will receive the Cash Component and the Shares Component .

TIM’s shareholders are also reminded that accepting the Offer with their TIM Shares , should the Offer be completed, given the circumstance that the Consideration is also represented by the Shares Component, constitutes an investment in Poste which, like the Issuer, is an Italian company with shares listed on Euronext Milan.
A.14.1.2. Non -acceptance of the Offer In the event of fulfilment of the Conditions of Effectiveness (or in the event of waiver by the Offeror of all or some of the Conditions of Effectiveness) and, therefore, of completion of the Offer, the Issuer ’s shareholders who have not accepted the Offer would face one of the possible scenarios described below, it being specified that the alternative scenarios described in points (A), (B), (C) and (D) below may each occur jointly with scenario (E) described below.

57 A.18. Issues Related to the National and International Macroeconomic Context
(A) COMMERCIAL PROTECTIONISM
In a period of relative slowdown in the global cycle and high uncertainty related to the evolution of geopolitical tensions, the return to protectionist trade policies by the United States could have negative consequences for global growth in the medium term. The extension by the new US administration of tariffs on imports and the consequent response of the economies affected by the duties could result in a “trade war ” with negative consequences for international trade, and could condition the continuation of the global expansion cycle and the process of realignment of international commodity prices, as well as fuelling volatility in currency markets.
The Offeror, taking into account the current circumstances, considers, in light of the objectives of the Offer, that the reasons for the Offer are not directly influenced by the possible implications of protectionist trade policies. Furthermore, the Offeror considers that the impact of such risk on the Poste Group and the TIM Group is negligible, in light of the limited weight of the sectors most exposed to tariff risks, thereby significantly reducing the potential vulnerability at the broader portfolio level.

The latter includes the collection of postal savings (postal savings books and postal savings bonds), carried out on behalf of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. and the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and services delegated by public administrations.

As with the rest of the Poste Group , the Postepay Services Strategic Business Unit adopts an omnichannel service model that involves the use of Poste Italiane ’s physical and digital channels, as well as the use of third -party physical networks to strengthen the positioning of the offering.
The Postepay Services Strategic Business Unit offers: (i) electronic money services both for “issuing”, i.e., the issuance of debit and prepaid cards, primarily to retail customers , and for “acquiring”, i.e., the provision of physical and online payment acceptance instruments to companies and small economic operators, (ii) collection and payment services provided by the BancoPosta Dedicated Assets (managed on an outsourced basis ) or managed directly, (iii) mobile and fixed telecommunications services enriched by digital services, particularly in mobile banking and mobile payment , and (iv) electricity and natural gas supply services to retail customers .

Financial and balance sheet position of the Poste Group The Fixed Capital of the Poste Group as at 31 December 2025 (determined as the sum of Property, plant and equipment , Intangible assets , Investment property and Investments accounted for using the equity method) stands at EUR 8,180 million, marking an increase of EUR 1,713 million compared to the end of the 2024 financial year, mainly due to the acquisition of the stake in TIM, recognised at a value of EUR 1,492 million, partially offset by the disposal of the stake in Anima Holding. The fixed capital was contributed to by investments of EUR 1,178 million and an increase in Right -of-use assets for new contracts, renewals and contractual changes, net of terminations, within the scope of application of IFRS 16, totalling EUR 286 million. These changes were partially offset by depreciation of EUR 995 million6.
Net Working Capital (determined as the sum of Trade receivables , Other receivables and assets , Inventories and Current tax receivables , less Trade payables , Other liabilities and Current tax liabilities ) as at 31 December 2025 amounts to EUR 1,311 million and decreased by approximately EUR 98 million compared to the end of the 2024 financial year, principally due to the movement in other assets and liabilities ( - EUR 303 million) net of commercial items (+ EUR 220 million).
6Depreciation shown does not include the allocation of costs directly attributable to insurance contracts, carried out in accordance with accounting standard IFRS 17.
78 The balance of Provisions and other assets/liabilities as at 31 December 2025 (comprising Provisions for risks and charges , Employee termination benefits and Deferred tax assets and Deferred tax liabilities ) is negative at EUR 1,137 million and increased by EUR 627 million compared to 31 December 2024, mainly due to the lower net deferred tax assets and liabilities respectively (+ EUR 674 million), in addition to the reduction of disposal groups of EUR 50 million arising from the total demerger of Cronos Vita, partially offset by lower risk provisions and TFR (totalling -EUR 96 million).
Total equity as at 31 December 2025 amounts to EUR 13,997 million and increased by EUR 2,288 million compared to 31 December 2024. This change is mainly attributable to:
- the positive effect of the profit for the year of EUR 2,235 million;
- the negative effect arising from the distribution of dividends of EUR 1,502 million (of which EUR 518 million as an interim dividend in respect of the ordinary dividend for the 2025
financial year);
- the net positive movement in the fair value reserve , net of the insurance contracts reserve, recognised in comprehensive income of approximately EUR 1,550 million.
The net financial position of the Poste Group as of 31 December 2025 is in surplus of EUR 5,643 million, an improvement of EUR 1,299 million compared to the figures as at 31 December 2024 (which showed a surplus of EUR 4,344 million).
Set out below is the net financial position as of 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 of the Poste Group, broken down by type of operation:

With regard to the net financial indebtedness of the Poste Group, it should be noted at the outset that the Offeror has adopted the scheme provided for by the recommendations contained in the ESMA Guidelines (the “ESMA NFP ”) only for the Mail , Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit, as it considers that the extension of this scheme to the Poste Group as a whole is not suitable to provide meaningful information and may indeed be misleading, given that a preponderant portion of the Pos te Group ’s financial assets and liabilities is attributable to financial and insurance operations. In this regard, it should be noted that CONSOB Communication No. DEM/6064293, updated in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines as incorporated by CONSOB Notice No. 5/21 of 29 April 2021, requires the application of the net financial indebtedness scheme provided for by the ESMA Guidelines exclusively to issuers “other than those in the banking and insurance sectors ”.

Economic performance of the Poste Group7 Revenues of the Poste Group for 2025 amount to EUR 13,588 million and show growth of EUR 661 million compared to 2024 with a positive contribution from all Strategic Business Units:
Insurance Services (+ EUR 185 million), Financial Services (+ EUR 161 million), Mail , Parcels and Distribution (+ EUR 105 million) and Postepay Services (+ EUR 210 million).
Total costs for the 2025 financial year amount to EUR 10,421 million, an increase compared to EUR 10,381 million in 2024 (+ EUR 40 million). In particular:
• Cost of goods and services increased by a total of EUR 287 million compared to the 2024 financial year, principally due to higher costs for services of EUR 249 million (attributable to higher delivery costs related to the parcels segment and to electricity and gas transmission costs) and higher costs for raw, ancillary and consumable materials and goods of EUR 62 million (principally due to costs related to the purchase of electricity and gas).
• Personnel expenses amount to EUR 5,166 million, marking an increase compared to the 2024 financial year of EUR 31 million, principally due to the economic impact of the renewal of the national collective labour agreement (CCNL) in July 2024, the increases
7Management uses certain alternative performance indicators to represent the performance of the Poste Group.
In particular, in order to provide a reading of the energy business , included in the Postepay Services operating segment, according to a net interest margin logic – since the Poste Group is not an energy producer – certain reclassifications are made that provide for the presentation of revenues related to the energy business net of costs connected to the purchase of raw materials and the transmission of electricity and gas. In this context, total management revenues amount to EUR 13,121 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 12,589 million for the 2024 financial year), total management costs amount to EUR 9,954 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 10,042 million for the 2024 financial year) and management cost of goods and services amount to EUR 3,536 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 3,378 million for the 2024 financial year).
Furthermore, an “Adjusted EBIT ” is presented, calculated by subtracting from the operating profit (EBIT) the charges for the contribution to the life insurance guarantee fund and extraordinary income and charges (the latter relating to the 2024 financial year only), and an “Ex-TIM net profit ”, calculated by subtracting from the consolidated net profit the value of the equity valuation of the stake held in TIM.
Adjusted EBIT amounts to EUR 3,245 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 2,961 million for the 2024 financial year) for the Poste Group, EUR 30 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 104 million for the 2024 financial year) for the Correspondence, Parcels and Distribution SBU, EUR 1,044 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 900 million for the 2024 financial year) for the Financial Services SBU, and EUR 1,585 million for the 2025 financial year ( EUR 1,429 million for the 2024 financial year) for the Insurance Services SBU. The Postepay Services SBU does not present any adjustment items between EBIT and Adjusted EBIT. Ex -TIM net profit amounts to EUR 2,220 million for the 2025 financial year.
The management data referred to above are used for disclosure purposes within the Management Report, included in the Poste Gr oup 2025 Annual Financial Report, to which reference is made for further details and information.

• Other operating costs recorded an increase of EUR 41 million, rising from EUR 318 million in 2024 to EUR 358 million in 2025, principally due to charges of approximately EUR 53 million recognised by SDA Express Courier S.p.A. in connection with the settlement agreement signed with the Italian Revenue Agency in December 2025.
• Impairment losses/(reversals of impairment losses ) on debt instruments, receivables and other assets decreased by EUR 370 million, principally due to the absence, in 2025, of the accounting effects recognised in 2024 in connection with the risk analysis on tax credits of approximately EUR 380 million.

B.1.11. Recent trend In the period between 31 March 2026 and the Offer Document Date, no significant events have occurred that have materially affected the economic, balance sheet or financial position of the Offeror, with the exception of activities relating to the promotion of the Offer.
It should be noted that , as envisaged in the calendar of corporate events published on 29 January 2026, the Board of Directors of the Offeror will approve the half -year financial report as at 30 June 2026 on 2 3 July 2026 .
B.1.12. Persons acting in concert with the Offeror in relation to the Offer It should be noted that, in relation to the Offer, the Ministry of Economy and Finance is to be considered as a person acting in concert with the Offeror, pursuant to Article 101 -bis, paragraph 4 -bis, letter b), of the TUF, as it controls the Offeror.
For the sake of clarity, it is specified that the Offeror shall be the sole party to acquire the Shares Subject to the Offer that will be tendered to the Offer, as well as to bear the costs arising from the payment of the Consideration .
90 B.2. Issuer of the financial instruments subject to the Offer B.2.1. Company n ame, legal form, registered office and trading market The Issuer ’s company name is “Telecom Italia S.p.A.” or “TIM S.p.A.”.
TIM is a joint stock company incorporated under the laws of Italy, with registered office in Milan (MI), Via Gaetano Negri, No. 1, registration number with the Companies ’ Register of Milan and Tax Code No. 00488410010.
Pursuant to Article 4 of its articles of association, the duration of the Issuer is fixed until 31 December 2100. The extension of that term does not confer a withdrawal right upon shareholders who did not contribute to the approval of the relevant resolution.
On the basis of publicly available information, TIM falls within the definition of a “large company ” within the meaning of the Corporate Governance Code, as its market capitalization exceeded EUR 1 billion on the last open market day of each of the three calendar years 2023 -
2025. TIM does not, however, fall within the definition of a “concentrated -ownership company ”, as there are no shareholders who, individually or through adherence to a shareholders ’ agreement, hold – directly or indirectly – the majority of votes exercisable at the ordinary shareholders ’ meeting .
B.2.2. Share Capital As of the Offer Document Date, the Issuer ’s share capital amounts to EUR 6,000,000,000, fully subscribed and paid -in, divided into a total of No. 2,135,725,819 ordinary shares with no nominal value.
The Issuer ’s Shares are admitted to trading on Euronext Milan, a regulated market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana and are in dematerialised form pursuant to Article 83-bis of the TUF.
As of the Offer Document Date, and to the best of the Offeror ’s knowledge, the Issuer has not issued any convertible bonds, warrants and/or financial instruments conferring voting rights, even limited to specific matters, at ordinary and extraordinary shareholders ’ meetings, and/or any other financial instruments that may confer upon third parties the right to subscribe for or purchase Shares of the Issuer or even merely the right to vote, even on a limited basis, in respect of TIM shares.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that, on 28 January 2026, TIM ’s shareholders ’ meeting and the special meeting of savings shareholders approved the proposal to convert TIM ’s savings shares into ordinary shares, on the terms set out in the proposal submitted by the Board of Directors. In particular, the extraordinary shareholders ’ meeting approved: (i) the Conversion at a ratio of No. 1 ordinary share for each savings share held, plus a cash balancing payment; (ii) the voluntary reduction of share capital to EUR 6,000,000,000.00, allocating the resulting amount to the legal reserve up to one -fifth of the share capital and, as to the remaining part, to an available equity reserve (the “TIM Capital Reduction ”). The TIM Capital Reduction left the number of the Issuer ’s shares unchanged, reducing their nominal value.
The special meeting, in turn, approved on the same date the proposal to convert the savings shares into ordinary shares.
91 The resolution on the Conversion gave rise to a withdrawal right for TIM savings shareholders who did not contribute to that resolution.
The effectiveness of the Conversion was conditional upon the condition, waivable by the Issuer, that the maximum amount to be paid by TIM for the liquidation of savings shares in respect of which the right of withdrawal had been exercised following the savings shareholders ’ meeting, and which had not been purchased by shareholders or placed with third parties following the procedure under Article 2437 -quater of the Italian Civil Code, did not exceed the total amount of EUR 100,000,000.00. Such condition has been satisfied.
The Conversion was further conditional upon the circumstance that, within 90 days of registration of the TIM Capital Reduction resolution with the competent companies ’ register, pursuant to Article 2445, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code, no opposition had been filed by the Issuer ’s creditors or, in the event of opposition, that within six months of registration of that resolution, extendable by the Issuer for a maximum further period of 3 months, court authorisation had been granted pursuant to Article 2445, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code. Such condition has been satisfied and, accordingly, both the Conversion and the TIM Capital Reduction have become effective.
It should further be noted that the Issuer ’s Board of Directors proposed to the Issuer ’s shareholders ’ meeting convened for 15 April 2026 to resolve, inter alia :
- in ordinary session, the authorisation to purchase treasury shares for a maximum of No.
700,000,000 ordinary shares, to be reduced, following the TIM Share Reverse Split, to a maximum total of No. 70,000,000 ordinary shares (the “TIM Share Buy -back ”);
- in extraordinary session, subject to the effectiveness of the Conversion and the TIM Capital Reduction, the TIM Share Reverse Split;
- again in extraordinary session, the cancellation – without reduction of share capital and with a corresponding increase in the implicit par value of TIM shares – of up to a maximum of No. 700,000,000 ordinary shares, to be reduced, following the TIM Share Reverse Split, to a maximum total of No. 70,000,000 ordinary shares (the “TIM Share Cancellation ”).
The Issuer ’s shareholders ’ meeting, held on 15 April 2026, approved the resolutions on the TIM Share Buy -back, the TIM Share Reverse Split and the TIM Share Cancellation. The TIM Share Reverse Split became effective as from 15 June 2026.

The economic and financial results of the TIM Group are presented with Sparkle classified as discontinued operations: “TIM Group (Sparkle Discontinued Operations) ”.
“Revenues ” of the TIM Group (Sparkle Discontinued Operations) for the 2025 financial year amount to EUR 13,734 million, +0.6% compared to the 2024 financial year ( EUR 13,653 million).
“Other income ” for the 2025 financial year, amounting to EUR 1,254 million, reflects in particular the non -recurring income connected with the recognition of total damages in relation to the concession fee for the exercise of telecommunications activities paid by the TIM Group in respect of the 1998 financial year, confirmed definitively by the judgment of the Court of Cassation No. 33241 of 19 December 2025, which upheld the decision of the Rome Court of Appeal of April 2024.
The principal operating cost items for the 2025 financial year include:
• "Acquisition of goods and services ” equal to EUR 8,647 million, which reflect in particular: (i) the effects connected with the prospective change in the period, from 8 to 4 years, for the recognition in the income statement of deferred fixed -network contract costs ( EUR 589 million); and (ii) access, hosting and delivery network charges, related to the Master Service Agreement (“MSA ”) entered into by TIM with FiberCop S.p.A. (“FiberCop”), which in 2024 had an impact only in the second half of the
financial year;
• "Employee benefits expenses" equal to EUR 1,474 million, the increase in which is principally attributable to (i) an increase of EUR 45 million in the Italian component of ordinary personnel costs, mainly due to higher charges accrued for the payment of productivity bonuses linked to corporate targets; (ii) an increase of EUR 38 million in the “Restructuring charges and other ” item of the Italian component; and (iii) a decrease of EUR 23 million in the foreign component, primarily linked to the impact of exchange rate movements in the Brazil Business Unit;
• “Other operating expenses" equal to EUR 580 million, the variation in which derives principally from: (i) “Provisions for risks and charges ”; and (ii) “Contributions and fees for the exercise of telecommunications activities ”.
“EBITDA ” of the TIM Group (Sparkle Discontinued Operations) for the 2025 financial year amounts to EUR 4,566 million ( EUR 4,744 million for the 2024 financial year, -3.8%).
“Depreciation and amortization” for the 2025 financial year amounts to EUR 2,938 million (EUR 3,063 million for the 2024 financial year).
106 “EBIT ” of the TIM Group (Sparkle Discontinued Operations) for the 2025 financial year amounts to EUR 1,564 million ( EUR 1,669 million for the 2024 financial year). EBIT for the 2025 financial year includes net non -recurring income of EUR 213 million, whilst for the 2024 financial year it includes net non -recurring charges of EUR 94 million; it should further be recalled that the first half of 2024 included the economic effects of: (i) the business unit consisting of assets relating to the primary network, the wholesale business and the entire shareholding in the subsidiary Telenergia S.r.l. ( “NetCo ”) contributed to FiberCop; and (ii) FiberCop (subsequently sold on 1 July 2024) (the “NetCo Transaction ”), and that, from the date of disposal, the Master Services Agreement , governing the relationship between TIM and FiberCop, became effective.
The net finance income/(costs) balance is negative and amounts to EUR 901 million (negative by EUR 1,312 million for the 2024 financial year). The reduction is substantially linked to the decrease in net financial debt following the disposal of NetCo, carried out in mid -2024.
In the 2025 financial year, income tax amounts to EUR 112 million ( EUR 178 million for the 2024 financial year): (i) EUR 52 million are attributable to companies in the Domestic Business Unit, of which EUR 33 million relate to the parent company TIM, substantially in respect of IRAP (Regional Tax on Productive Activities); and (ii) EUR 43 million are attributable to the Brazil Business Unit.
The result relating to “Discontinued operations/Non -current assets held for sale ” for the 2025 financial year principally relates to Sparkle ’s income statement result classified pursuant to IFRS 5 as assets held for sale. The 2024 financial year result also includes the income statement results of the “NetCo Transaction ”.
“Profit (loss) for the year ” for 2025 is positive at EUR 519 million and includes an impact from positive non -recurring items of EUR 157 million; the share of net profit attributable to the owners of the Parent is positive at EUR 297 million.

The cash absorption recorded in the 2025 financial year (equal to EUR -812 million) is principally attributable to (i) a reduction in the cash flow generated from operating activities (EUR 2,538 million compared with EUR 3,177 million for the 2024 financial year), affected by the negative change in the principal items making up net working capital ( i.e. “Change in trade receivables/payables ” and “Net change in miscellaneous receivables/payables and other assets/liabilities ”); (ii) an increase in investing activities, which in the 2024 financial year had however benefited from the consideration received in connection with the NetCo Transaction; and (iii) cash absorption from financing activities ( EUR 2,022 million), principally as a result of the repayment of certain non -current financial liabilities.

The cash absorption recorded in Q1 2026 (equal to EUR -55 million) is principally attributable to (i) a reduction in the cash flow generated from operating activities ( EUR 204 million compared with EUR 331 million for Q1 2025), affected by the increase in the loss from continuing operations ( EUR -239 million in Q1 2026) and by the negative change in the principal items making up net working capital ( i.e. “Change in trade receivables/payables ” and “Net change in miscellaneous receivables/payables and other assets/liabilities ”); (ii) a reduction in investing activities ( EUR -411 million in Q1 2026 compared with EUR -560 million in Q1 2025); and (iii) cash generation from financing activities ( EUR 216 million), principally as a result of “Proceeds from new non -current financial liabilities ”.

In addition, the Issuer declared by means of press release that:
• on 19 March 2026, the TIM Group and Fastweb S.p.A. ( “Fastweb + Vodafone ”) signed a non -binding agreement for the construction and management of new towers
117 (passive infrastructure) for mobile telephony in Italy, with the prospect of constructing up to 6,000 new sites. The project will enable the TIM Group and Fastweb + Vodafone to improve operational efficiency and align costs with the European average, whilst maintaining high infrastructure quality standards and the technological flexibility necessary for the development of next -generation networks. The initiative wi ll initially be implemented through a joint venture in which the TIM Group and Fastweb + Vodafone hold equal stakes, with the objective of evaluating in a subsequent phase the entry of third -party investors into the shareholding structure. The infrastructure will furthermore be made available to third -party telecommunications operators.
Construction activities will be launched pursuant to a multi -year development plan.
The Issuer and Fastweb + Vodafone will act as anchor tenants of the new infrastructure, entering into long -term agreements for the use of towers on market terms. The project is conditional upon the necessary authorisations from the competent authorities ;
• on 29 March 2026, TIM ’s Board of Directors resolved to send to Infrastrutture Wireless Italiane S.p.A. (“INWIT”) notice of termination of the master service agreement in force between the parties ( “INWIT MSA ”), with effect at the contractual expiry date of August 2030, following the change -of-control clause exercised in 2022. The Issuer, further to the notice of termination of the INWIT MSA sent in recent days by Fastweb + Vodafone, also notes that, in the event that it is established that the change of control occurring in December 2020 triggered the application of the relevant contractual clause, the termination will be effective at the original end date of 31 March 202 8. The TIM Group will commence negotiations to agree with INWIT a multi -
year migration plan to ensure operational continuity after the expiry of the contract, in compliance with the mutual contractual obligations enshrined in the INWIT MSA.

• on 6 May 2026, TIM ’s Board of Directors approved the TIM Quarterly Financial Disclosure.
• on 11 May 2026, Moody’s upgraded TIM’s rating to Ba1 from Ba2, with a stable outlook . Moody’s bases the upgrade on the solid execution of the plan and the expectation of robust cash generation over the 2026 -2028 period, which will support a reduction in financial leverage alongside the anticipated return of value to shareholders. The upgr ade to Ba1 represents Moody’s third upgrade over the past two years and brings TIM further closer to investment grade status ;

• on 26 May 2026, at a meeting attended by TIM’s directors and statutory auditors, the chief executive officer, general manager and chief financial officer of Poste set out the terms of the Offer.

Supporting the medium -
term trend , in the rating agency’s view, are a more rational competitive environment in the Italian telecommunications market and a solid performance in the enterprise segment and Brazil, which will drive earnings and cash flow generation growth. The S&P upgrade represents a further confirmation of TIM’s progressive move towards investment grade status ;
• on 11 June 2026, TIM received repayment of the refund relating to the 1998 concession fee, for an amount slightly in excess of EUR 1 billion. As already disclosed to the market, the related income, which is non -recurring in nature, was fully recognised in 2025.

For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that – as indicated in the TIM Quarterly Financial Disclosure – TIM is a party to various legal proceedings. In particular, the companies in the Brazil Business Unit are involved in legal proceedings of a tax or regulatory nature the outcome of which is assessed as potentially unfavourable for a total amou nt of approximately 24.9 billion reais (24.5 billion reais as of 31 December 2025 ), corresponding to approximately EUR 4.1 billion as at 31 March 2026 . Among the pending proceedings in Italy, the following are particularly notable:
- the damages claim brought by Open Fiber in March 2020, relating to a claim for damages initially quantified at EUR 1.5 billion (and subsequently restated at EUR 2.6 billion plus interest and monetary revaluation), based on an alleged exclusionary abuse of dominant position. In the same proceedings, Enel S.p.A. has intervened, seeking an order for TIM to pay all damages allegedly suffered and to be suffered by Enel itself (as well as by Open Fiber), subsequently quantified at EUR 228 million, plus
interest;
- the writ of summons before the Milan court served on TIM on 25 March 2026, by which SKY Italia & SKY Ltd. ( “Sky”) brought an action against TIM and DAZN, seeking their joint and several liability for the damages that Sky claims to have suffered as a result of the infringement of Article 101 TFEU by TIM and DAZN. The action is a follow -
on claim consequent to the AGCM ’s finding, in which the authority characterised the TIM-DAZN agreement of 27 January 2021 as a competition -restricting arrangement.
That decision was subsequently reformed on 22 December 2025, extending the duration of the infringement from 32 days to 1 ye ar and seven months. According to the claimants, that agreement was designed to exclude Sky from the market and to damage its customer base following the television rights licensing agreement for Serie A for the three -year period 2021 -2024. The damages cla im brought by Sky amounts to a total (to be apportioned between TIM and DAZN on the basis of criteria yet to be determined) of between EUR 1.8 and 1.9 billion, deriving from lost profits of EUR 1.076 billion for loss of operating profits (to which EUR 499 million is added for interest) and direct damage estimated at between EUR 280 and 380 million for alleged brand depreciation. The key hearings in the proceedings are expected to take place in the final quarter of 2026.
For more complete information on the legal proceedings in which TIM is a party, reference should be made to the paragraph “TIM Group – pending litigation and legal proceedings ” of the TIM Quarterly Financial Disclosure .

E. UNIT CONSIDERATION FOR THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED
JUSTIFICATION
E.1. Indication of the unit Consideration and related determination The Offeror ’s Communication provided that, subject to the following, for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, Poste would pay an overall unit consideration composed of the following components: a cash component equal to EUR 0.167 and a shares component equal to No. 0.0218 newly issued ordinary shares of the Offeror.
As a result of the TIM Share Reverse Split, which became effective on 15 June 2026, the Consideration of the Offer , as announced in the Offeror ’s Communication, has been adjusted to take into account such corporate transaction, whilst the economic substance of the Offer remains unchanged.
Accordingly, for each Share Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, Poste will pay the Consideration composed of the following components:
- the Cash Component equal to EUR 1.67; and
- the Shares Component equal to No. 0.218 newly issued Poste Shares.
Accordingly, by way of example only, for every No. 500 Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer, No. 109 newly issued Poste Shares and EUR 835.00 will be paid.
The newly issued Poste Shares resulting from the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer will have regular dividend entitlement and will therefore confer on their holders the same rights as the ordinary shares of Poste already in circulation on the issue date, and will be admitted to trading on Euronext Milan in dematerialised form pursuant to Article 83 -bis of the TUF .
The Consideration will be paid on the Payment Date, namely 18 September 2026 (subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law) , or, with respect to the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance during the possible Reopening of the Acceptance Period, on the Payment Date of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period (subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law) , namely 2 October 2026 .
Given that, as indicated in the Offeror ’s Communication, the Shareholders’ Meeting of Poste has approved the distribution of the Poste Final Dividend for the 2025 financial year equal to EUR 0.85 per each outstanding Poste share, the Consideration is intended as ex Poste Final Dividend, and has accordingly been determined on the assumption that, prior to the Payment Date, the Offeror proceeds – as has indeed occurred – with the distribution of said Poste Final Dividend without the Shares Component of the Consideration being revised.
The Consideration is net of stamp duty, registration tax and other charges, fees, commissions and expenses, which shall remain payable by the Offeror, whilst any capital gains tax, if due, shall remain the responsibility of the Tendering Shareholders.
The Consideration (ante TIM Share Reverse Split) was determined by the Board of Directors of the Offeror on 22 March 2026 on the basis of its own analyses and considerations, conducted with the advice and support of J.P. Morgan and BNPP . Furthermore, the financial advisor BNPP prepared a fairness opinion addressed exclusively to the Board of Directors of the Offeror, confirming the fairness, from a strictly financial point of view, of the Consideration for Poste, subject to the terms and conditions set out therein. It is further
126 specified that the Offeror’s Board of Directors defined and approved the unit Consideration ante TIM Share Reverse Split as set out in the Offeror ’s Communication (and subsequently adjusted as a result of the TIM Share Reverse Split) on the basis of the following elements: (i) its own valuation analyses, as better described in the paragraphs below, also taking into account the support independently p rovided by J.P. Morgan and BNPP, (ii) the standalone economic prospects of the Offeror and the Issuer, (iii) the strategic and industrial rationale that the Transaction represents for the Offeror and the Issuer, (iv) the synergies potentially achievable fo llowing the completion of the Offer, (v) the execution risks connected to the realisation of the industrial combination and (vi) the political, macroeconomic and market context at the Reference Date.
The Offeror ’s Board of Directors, with regard to its own valuation analyses, identified, also on the basis of the considerations independently carried out by J.P. Morgan and BNPP, the following methodologies: (i) the market multiples method, (ii) the target price meth odology highlighted by research analysts, and (iii) as a secondary reference, the theoretical exchange ratios of current market prices and of prices weighted by traded volumes.
For the sake of completeness, it is specified that, in further support of the valuation process of the Board of Directors of Poste, MS in its capacity as Financial Advis or Providing a Fairness Opinion also issued its own fairness opinion, attesting, from a strictly financial point of view and pursuant to the terms and conditions set out therein, the fairness of the Consideration.
As indicated in the Offeror ’s Communication , for the purposes of the Consideration and the maximum disbursement of the Offer, the Offeror shall take into account the TIM Share Buy -
back and the TIM Share Cancellation should such transactions be completed prior to the Payment Date.
In any event, should prior to the Payment Date the Issuer and/or the Offeror pay a dividend to shareholders (other than the Poste Final Dividend), or should the coupon relating to dividends resolved but not yet paid be detached from the Shares Subject to the Offer and/or the Offeror ’s shares, as the case may be, and/or, without prejudice to the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer (and in any event should the Offeror waive one of such Conditions of Effectiveness, where applicable ), the Issuer approve or implement any transaction relating to its own share capital and/or the Issuer ’s shares (other than the TIM Share Buy -back, the TIM Share Cancellation and the TIM Share Reverse Split), the Offeror shall take the above into account for the purposes of adjusting the Consideration and/or the maximum disbursement of the Offer.
Any adjustment of the Consideration as a result of the foregoing shall be disclosed in the manner and within the time prescribed by applicable law.
For the purposes of the Offer, having regard to the nature of the Consideration, which comprises (i) a Shares Component representing newly issued ordinary shares of the Offeror, offered in exchange for ordinary shares of the Issuer tendered in acceptance o f the Offer, and (ii) a Cash Component, the valuation analyses for the determination of the Exchange Ratio were conducted on a purely comparative basis, favouring the principle of comparability of the valuation methodologies applied, on the basis of public ly available data and information. The considerations and estimates made are therefore to be understood in relative terms and with reference limited to the Offer.
127 The valuation methodologies and the resulting economic values of TIM and Poste shares were identified for the purpose of determining (i) the unit Consideration of the Offer, (ii) the number of Poste shares to be issued in connection with the Offer and (iii ) the maximum Cash Component disbursement, based on the outcome thereof. In no circumstances shall such valuations be regarded as possible indications of the market price or value, whether current or prospective, in a context other than the one under exami nation.
The valuations carried out by the Offeror relate to economic and market conditions as at the Reference Date ( i.e., 20 March 2026, corresponding to the Trading Day preceding the Announcement Date) and to the economic, balance sheet and financial position of the Offeror and the Issuer as reported in the preliminary results for the 2025 financial year, in the half -
year financial report as at 30 June 2025, in previous financial reports made available by TIM on its website under the “Investors ” section and in the related press releases and financial results presentations to the financial community . In addition, market communications regarding other recent corporate events published by TIM and its subsidiaries were taken into account (including the announcement of the disposal of Sparkle, the acquisition of a controlling interest in I-Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. and developments in the proceedings for the restitution of the 1998 concession fee , which on 11 June 2026 was reimbursed to TIM in an amount slightly above EUR 1 billion, as announced by TIM on the same date by means of a dedicated press release ).
In particular, for the purposes of determining the Consideration, the Board of Directors of the Offeror considered it appropriate to use the following methodologies for the valuation of Poste and TIM :
- for Poste:
a. the market multiples methodology, in the variant of the stock market price of comparable listed companies applied to their current and prospective financial results;
and b. the methodology of target prices published by research analysts ; and
- for TIM:
a. the market multiples method in the variants of Enterprise Value (EV) to EBITDA and to OpFCF, both current and prospective; and b. the target price methodology highlighted by research analysts.
As a secondary reference , the theoretical exchange ratios at current market prices and the volume -weighted prices traded were also observed.
The choice of methodologies and the results of the valuation analyses conducted by Poste as at the Reference Date for the purposes of determining the Consideration of the Offer (consisting of the Exchange Ratio and the Cash Component) must be read in the l ight of the following principal limitations and difficulties:
(i) the Offeror used exclusively publicly available data and information for its analyses;
(ii) the Offeror did not carry out any financial, legal, commercial, fiscal, industrial or other due diligence on TIM ;
(iii) as at the Reference Date, no updated business plan is publicly available for either TIM or Poste. Consequently, where relevant for the purposes of applying the valuation
128 methodologies, projections relating to the future financial performance used for TIM and Poste were derived on the basis of publicly available information and estimates provided by research analysts as supplied by the information provider FactSet as at the Reference Date ;
(iv) the analyses conducted reflect the specificities of the valuation methodologies , whose reliability is limited by a number of factors inherent to such methodologies; and (v) the valuations of the two companies cannot be considered independent , given the Poste Participation held by the Offeror as at the Reference Date .
Set out below is a brief description of each of the methodologies used for the purposes of determining the Consideration:
a. Market multiples methodology : under the market multiples methodology, the value of a company is determined by reference to the indications provided by the stock market with respect to companies with characteristics similar to those of the company being valued, or to each of its divis ions.
This methodology is based on the calculation of multiples derived as the ratio between market values and the financial, balance sheet and economic figures of a selected sample of companies comparable to the company being valued, or to each of its divisions. The multiples so determined are applied, with appropriate adjustments and refinements, to the corresponding figures of the company being valued, in order to estimate a range of values.
The degree of reliability of the multiples market methodology depends on an appropriate adaptation of the methodology to the specific valuation in question. In this regard, the similarity, from an operational and financial perspective, between the companies included in the reference sample and those bein g valued is particularly relevant. The significance of the results is, in fact, dependent on the comparability of the sample. The shares of the selected companies must also exhibit a high degree of liquidity and must not relate to companies whose prices ma y be influenced by particular contingent situations .
Market multiples were calculated, both for Poste and for TIM, for the three -year period 2025, 2026 and 2027, as multiples for years beyond 2027 were considered to be of limited significance, given the lower reliability and higher variability that generally characterise consensus estimates for years further in the future.
b. Research analysts ’ target price methodology : the target price methodology determines the value of a company on the basis of the target prices published by financial analysts in respect of the company. Target prices are value indications expressing a hypothesis as to the price that a share may reach on the stock market and are derived from multiple valuation methodologies used at the discretion of the individual research analyst.
For the purposes of applying the target price methodology , the target prices of the ordinary shares of the Offeror and the Issuer as indicated by research analysts covering the companies were used, as available on the Poste and TIM websites as at the Reference Date, where published subsequent to the dissemination of the preliminary results as at 31 December 2025 of the Offeror and the Issuer (communicated, respectively, on 26 February 2026 and 24 February 2026).
129 For the purposes of the Offer and on the basis of the specific characteristics of the relevant sector and market practice, the following multiples were selected for the Issuer:
o EV / EBITDA , representing the ratio between: (a) the Enterprise Value (EV), calculated as the algebraic sum of market capitalisation, net financial position reflecting the application of accounting standard IFRS16, employee benefit funds, minority equity interest valued at market value, and equity investments in associated compani es valued using the equity method; and (b) EBITDA (reflecting the application of accounting standard IFRS16) ;
o EV / OpFCF , representing the ratio between (a) the Enterprise Value (EV) and (b) OpFCF, calculated as EBITDA net of capital expenditure for the period ( capex ).
With respect to the multiples analysed , it should be noted for the sake of completeness that:
(i) although the indicators were calculated on both current (2025) and prospective (2026, 2027) results, the prospective financial indicators (2026 and 2027, in this specific case), rather than the hist orical ones, represent the fundamental reference parameter commonly used in valuation practice for companies operating in the telecommunications sector; and (ii) the price / earnings multiple – commonly used in the valuation practice of financial institutions – was not included and was not taken into account for valuation purposes as it is not significant given the sector of activity, the business model and the financial profile of the Issuer.
Set out below is a brief description of each company belonging to the reference sample:
o Telefónica: a company listed on the Spanish Market (BME), operating primarily in fixed and mobile telecommunications, broadband, television and advanced digital services including cloud, cybersecurity, IoT and artificial intelligence. The company also operates in Germany, Brazil and the “Hispam ” region (comprising Mexico and Venezuela), and maintains a significant presence in the United Kingdom through the VMO2 joint venture;
o BT Group: a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, operating primarily in fixed and mobile telephony, broadband and television connectivity, as well as networking, security and IT services for private individuals, businesses and public sector organisations. It operates predominantly in the United Kingdom through the consumer, business and Openreach divisions , whilst also providing global connectivity and IT solutions to multinational corporations;
o Vodafone: a company listed on the London Stock Exchange, operating primarily in mobile and fixed connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT) and financial services (FinTech) with over 51 million users; it operates across Europe (including Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Greece and Turkey) and in Africa (through Vodacom and Safaricom);
o Orange: a company listed on Euronext Paris, operating primarily in retail and business telecommunications , cybersecurity, digital services and wholesale infrastructure; it operates in France, the rest of Europe (including Spain, Poland, Romania, Belgium and Slovakia) and maintains a dominant presence in 26 countries in Africa and the Middle East, including Egypt, Morocco and Senegal.
For the purposes of the Offer and on the basis of the specific characteristics of the relevant sector and market practice, the following multiple was selected for the Offeror:
130 o price / earnings, representing the ratio between (a) market capitalisation and (b) group earnings as provided by the information provider FactSet as at the Reference Date.
With respect to the multiples analysed , it should be noted for the sake of completeness that:
(i) although the indicators were calculated on both current (2025) and prospective (2026, 2027) results, the prospective financial indicators (2026 and 2027, in this specific case), rather than the hist orical ones, represent the fundamental reference parameter commonly used in valuation practice for financial institutions; and (ii) the Enterprise Value / EBITDA and Enterprise Value / OpFCF multiples – commonly used in the valuation practice of telecommunications companies – were not included and were not taken into account for valuation purposes as they are not significant given the sector of activity, the business model and the financial profile of the Offeror.
Having regard to the current structure of the Poste Group, the specific characteristics of each of its business units and the fact that different market dynamics, growth rates and risk factors can be observed in each relevant sector, it is not possible to identify a single group of companies with characteristics similar to those of the Offeror. Accordingly, in order to obtain a more accurate and transparent estimate of the intrinsic value of the group through the application of the market multiples meth odology, the market multiple to be applied to Poste was constructed as a weighted average of the mean multiples of companies comparable to each business unit of the Poste Group , weighted by the contribution of each business unit to the earnings figures of the company.
The market multiples of the various business units (Mail, Parcels and Distribution; Financial Services; Insurance Services; Postepay Services) were therefore weighted on the basis of the relative contribution of each to the group ’s earnings results (measured as EBIT contribution, regarded as the best available proxy for determining each unit ’s contribution to the Group ’s net profit) and applied to the 2025 results and estimates for 2026 and 2027 (as provided by the information provider FactSet as at the Reference Date) of the Offeror.
For the purposes of the valuation analysis of the Issuer, given that a portion of the Offeror ’s results is generated by the qualifying indirect shareholding in TIM (equal to 20.104% of the share capital of the Issuer as at the Reference Date, including savings shares on a pro forma basis for their Conversion) and given that the latter company is it self the subject of the valuation, the following approach was adopted:
o Poste ’s prospective earnings were reduced by the amount relating to TIM ’s contribution calculated using the equity method (also based on the same source as at the Reference Date) (the “Profit Without TIM ”);
o the mean multiple of the companies belonging to the reference sample (calculated on the basis of the mean of the market multiples calculated for each business unit and weighted on the basis of their respective earnings contributions) was applied to the Pro fit Without TIM, thereby obtaining a valuation of Poste that excludes the valuation of the interest in TIM ( the "Valuation Without TIM ”);
o the valuation of the interest in TIM (calculated using the market multiples described above) was added to the Valuation Without TIM in order to obtain the overall valuation of Poste (the “Overall Valuation ”).
131 Set out below is a brief description of each company belonging to the reference sample.
With respect to the Business Unit Mail, Parcels and Distribution:
o Deutsche Post : a company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, operating primarily in logistics, parcel delivery and express services , freight transportation and supply chain management; it operates globally under the DHL brand, with a strong presence in Europe, the Americas and the Asia -Pacific region ;

The valuation methodologies described above were applied on a standalone and going concern basis for both the Offeror and the Issuer, also taking into account the specific characteristics of the Offer, and were used to estimate a range of relative valuatio ns of the two companies , expressed as an exchange ratio .
Monetary valuation and shares valuation of the Consideration In order to ensure comparability between the Offer Consideration and the results of the valuation methodologies used , solely for illustrative purposes and exclusively for the purposes of this Offer Document, the following were calculated: (i) an implied illustrative exchange ratio offered (i.e., assuming an equivalent all -shares consideration were offered) for each Share Subject to the Offer (Unit Market Exchange Ratio of the Consideration at the Reference Date , as defined in Section LIST OF MAIN DEFINITIONS , equal to 0.0296 newly issued Offeror shares ante TIM Share Reverse Split and 0.296 newly issued Offeror shares post TIM Share Reverse Split ) and (ii) an implied “monetary ” value ( Unit Market Value of the Consideration at the Reference Date , as defined in Section LIST OF MAIN DEFINITIONS , equal to EUR 0.635 per share and EUR 6.35 per share post TIM Share Reverse Split) assuming an equivalent all -
cash consideration were offered . Such values, calculated for purely illustrative purposes on the basis of the official price of the Offeror ’s shares recorded as at the Reference Date and , therefore, ante TIM Share Reverse Split, as published by Euronext ( equal to EUR 21.462), are equal, respectively, to (i) 0.0296 newly issued Offeror shares (0.296 newly issued Offeror shares post TIM Share Reverse Split ), and (ii) EUR 0.635 per share (EUR 6.35 per share post TIM Share Reverse Split).
With respect to the foregoing, it should be noted that the official market prices of the Poste Shares may vary (including during the Acceptance Period and up to the Payment Date) relative to the price of the ordinary Poste shares used for the determination , respectively, of the Implied Market Unit Exchange Ratio of the Consideration as at the Reference Date and the Implied Market Unit Monetary Value of the Consideration as at the Reference Date .
Theoretical exchange ratios between the Shares Subject to the Offer and the Offeror ’s shares On the basis of the valuations carried out, the theoretical exchange ratios between the Issuer ’s shares subject to the offer and the Offeror ’s shares were calculated, respectively , as (i) the ratio between the minimum and maximum prices calculated using the market multiples methodology for each combination of relative valuation methodologies ( i.e., EV / EBITDA for TIM and P/E for Poste, and EV / OpFCF for TIM and P/E for Poste) and (ii) the ratio between the minimum and maximum target prices for TIM and Poste .
Furthermore , in order to ensure maximum comparability between the valuations carried out and the Consideration offered, given that the latter is intended as ex Poste Final Dividend , the theoretical impact of the Poste Final Dividend on the exchange ratios resulting from the
133 valuation methodologies described above was reflected (thereby reducing the per share valuation of Poste by an amount equal to the Poste Final Dividend).
On the basis of the analyses carried out using the valuation criteria described above, the results set out below were obtained.

8 The minimum and maximum target prices, calculated as described in Paragraph E.1, correspond respectively to EUR 0.470 and EUR 0.750 for TIM and to EUR 22.000 and EUR 26.500 for Poste Italiane (corresponding to EUR 21.15 and EUR 25.65 for Poste Italiane net of the Poste Final Dividend) .
134 The values shown in the table above are to be understood as ante TIM Share Reverse Split.
As a secondary reference for the exchange ratio , the theoretical exchange ratios of current market prices and volume -weighted average prices were also observed. This secondary methodology (Stock Exchange Prices Methodology) uses market prices as relevant information for estimating the economic value of the companies, to that end using the stock market prices recorded in time intervals considered to be significant. The principal feature of this methodology lies in its ability to express in relative terms the relationship between the values of the companies in question as perceived by the market.
In this specific case, it was considered appropriate to apply this methodology using the following criteria: (a) use of the official prices of the Offeror ’s and TIM ’s shares recorded as at the Reference Date; (b) use of the averages of the volume -weighted official prices of the Poste and TIM shares (the so -called Volume -Weighted Average Price) for reference periods of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year prior to th e Reference Date. On the basis of the analyses carried out using this secondary methodology , the results set out below were obtained.

Having regard to the foregoing and on the basis of the valuation approach used, the Offeror identified, within the range identified by the application of the methodologies described
135 above, the Offer Consideration. This specific value was determined taking into account (i) the ranges identified through the application of the methodologies described, (ii) the overall characteristics of the transaction, and (iii) the premium implicit in the Exchange Ratio that was intended to be recognised, also in light of the above points (i) and (ii), relative to the official price of TIM shares as at the Reference Date.
E.2. Maximum aggregate countervalue of the Offer In the event that all the Shares Subject to the Offer are tendered in acceptance of the Offer:
- a maximum amount equal to EUR 2,849,624,254. 43, as the maximum aggregate amount of the Cash Component, shall be paid to the Tendering Shareholders; and
- a maximum of No. 371,986,879 newly issued Poste Shares, as the maximum aggregate amount of the Shares Component, shall be issued in favour of the Tendering Shareholders, representing 22. 17% of the share capital of Poste following the execution of the Capital Increase Reserved to the Offer (fully diluted).
The Maximum Aggregate Countervalue of the Offer , inclusive of the maximum amount of the Cash Component and the maximum implied value of the Shares Component (determined by reference to the closing price of Poste shares as at the Reference Date and on the basis of the Exchange Ratio) will be approximately EUR 10,833,217,80 5.17.

Comparison of the Consideration with certain indicators relating to the Issuer The table below sets out the principal financial and balance sheet indicators relating to the Issuer for the financial years ended 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 , as reported in the Annual Financial Report, and a selection of the related implied market multiples of the Issuer. It should be noted that the P / E, P / Equity Free Cash Flow and P / Net equity multiples are not considered to be significant and are not us ed in valuation practice given the sector of activity, the business model and the financial profile of the Issuer. Furthermore, it should be noted that, following the agreement for the disposal of Sparkle, dated 14 April 2025, for the purposes of the presentation of the financial and economic results (with the exception of net profit), it is classified as discontinued operations .

(i) with respect to the Enterprise Value / EBITDA and Enterprise Value / OpFCF (EBITDA – Capital expenditure) multiples, the prospective financial indicators (2026 and 2027, in this specific case), rather than the historical ones, represent the fundamental reference parameter commonly used in valuation pr actice for companies operating in the telecommunications sector; and (ii) the Price / Earnings and Price / Book Value multiples – commonly used in valuation practice of the financial institutions – as well as the Price / Cash Flow multiple, were not taken into account for valuation purposes as they are not significant given the sector of activity, the business model and the financial profile of the Issuer , as already described and further specified below:
137 • Price / Earnings, as the net profit of telecommunications operators is generally affected by non -operating items that reduce its comparability; sector practice favours multiples at the Enterprise Value level;
• Price / Book Value, as for telecommunications operators the book value of equity does not adequately reflect the capacity to generate earnings and cash flows;
• Price / Cash Flow, as the most significant cash flow for the sector is the operating cash flow net of capital expenditure, already captured by the EV/OpFCF multiple.
The prices used for the calculation of the multiples relate to the market prices recorded as at the Reference Date, i.e., in the trading session of 20 March 2026, corresponding to the Trading Day preceding the Announcement Date.

Where the application of the Exchange Ratio to the Shares Subject to the Offer tendered in acceptance of the Offer by a Tendering Shareholder does not result in a whole number of Poste Shares ( i.e., by way of example only, where a Tendering Shareholder does not tender in acceptance of the Offer at least No. 500 Shares Subject to the Offer, or a number of Shares Subject to the Offer equal to a whole multiple of 5 00), the Depositary Intermediary or the Appointed Intermediary with which such Tendering Shareholder has submitted its acceptance shall indicate in the Acceptance Form the fractional portion of Poste Shares accruing to such Tendering Shareholder (each, a “Fractional Share ”). By the Trading Day following the end of the Acceptance Period (as possibly extended) (or, if applicable, of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period) , each Appointed Intermediary, also on behalf of the Depositary Intermediaries that have submitted acceptances of the Offer to it, shall notify the Intermediaries Appointed to Coordinate the Collection of Acceptances of the number of Poste Shares resulting f rom the aggregation of the Fractional Shares.
The Intermediaries Appointed to Coordinate the Collection of Acceptances – in the name and on behalf of the Tendering Shareholders and on the basis of the communications received from the Depositary Intermediaries through the Appointed Intermediaries – shall aggregate the Fractional Shares of Poste Shares and shall subsequently sell on Euronext Milan the whole number of Poste Shares resulting from such aggregation.

151 Accordingly, the amounts resulting from such sales – which shall be recognised to the Tendering Shareholders as the Fractional Cash Amount – shall be equal to the average sale price of the whole number of Poste Shares resulting from the aggregation and shall be paid to the Tendering Shareholders as follows: within 10 Trading Days from the Payment Date ( i.e., by 2 October 2026, subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law), or, in relation to TIM Shares tendered in acceptance during the possible Reopening of the Acceptance Period, from the Payment Date of the Reopening of the Acceptance Period ( i.e., by 16 October 2026, subject to any extension of the Acceptance Period in accordance with applicable law), the Intermediaries Appointed to Coordinate the Collection of Acceptances shall credit the sale amount to the Depositary Intermediaries, through the Appointed Intermediaries, allocating it in such a way that each Depositary Intermediary receives an amount e qual to the total Fractional Cash Amount due to the Tendering Shareholders who have tendered their Shares Subject to the Offer through that Depositary Intermediary. The Depositary Intermediaries shall in turn distribute and credit the proceeds to the parti cipating Tendering Shareholders, in accordance with the procedures indicated in the Acceptance Form.
It should be noted that the Tendering Shareholder shall bear no trading costs or commissions, either in relation to the allocation of the Poste Shares or for the payment of the Fractional Cash Amount. In any event, no interest of any kind shall be paid on the Fractional Cash Amount.

As this is a totalitarian public cash and exchange offer, no pro -ration is envisaged .

G.2. Rationale of the Offer and future plans drawn up in relation to the Issuer G.2.1. Rationale of the Offer The overarching objective of the Offer is to build Italy ’s largest connected infrastructure platform.
The Transaction represents the natural evolution of a strategic vision that the Offeror has developed over the last nine years: to become not only the country ’s largest distribution network, but also its leading digital smart infrastructure platform.
The markets that will generate growth and value in the coming years will no longer be defined solely in the context of traditional sectors, since the boundary between the physical and digital worlds is disappearing. The endpoints of this new economic archi tecture will not only be people: they will be algorithms, devices and intelligent agents interacting in real time with the physical world.
Whoever owns and manages the infrastructure of this convergence – networks, cloud, edge -
computing, data, digital identity – will hold a strong competitive position.
Poste Italiane is currently the only operator in Italy that combines a widespread presence across the country, direct access to 46 million customers, advanced financial expertise and the ability to integrate physical and digital services into a seamless experience.
Without prejudice to Poste ’s decisions regarding the fulfilment (or non -fulfilment) of the Threshold Condition and the related waiver within the terms set out in Section A, Paragraph A.1.7 , of the Offer Document, the objective of the Offer, in light of the reasons and future plans relating to the Issuer, as further specified below, is to acquire the entire share capital of the Issuer and to achieve the Delisting of the Shares Subject to the O ffer, in order to facilitate a more effective process of integration of Poste ’s and TIM ’s activities and the achievement of the industrial and strategic objectives underlying the Offer .
The Offeror has resolved to launch the Offer as part of its consolidated strategy as an operator active in the integrated provision of a wide range of products and services in the financial, insurance, logistics, telecommunications and utilities sectors, a s well as acting as a strategic player in the development and strengthening of the Country ’s technological infrastructure serving citizens, businesses and the Public Administration, through a “platform company ” business model based on the integration of physical and digital channels that constitute the largest distribution network in Italy.
The sector comprising connectivity services, cloud data services , Internet of Things ( IoT), cyber -security and Artificial Intelligence of agents ( “agentic ” AI), in which both the Offeror and the Issuer operate, is characterised by a complex and rapidly evolving competitive environment, influenced by sudden accelerations and shifts in technological paradigms.
Operators in the sector operate within a regulator y framework harmonised at European level, aimed at promoting competition, access to infrastructure and user protection, as well as
156 supporting the development of next -generation networks and the processes of rapid digitalisation of the economy. Therefore, the sector presents significant growth opportunities arising from new connectivity technologies , the reduction in the number of market participants (see overview of key European and non -European countries) and the structurally growing demand for end -to-end digital services offered to retail customers, businesses and public administrations. In this con text, the ongoing digital and Artificial Intelligence (agentic) revolution in the sector is set to further accelerate demand for the services provided by the Issuer.
In line with these developments in the sector, over the years the Issuer has initiated and progressively implemented a strategy to strengthen its economic and financial position, aimed at improving operating profitability, simplifying its industrial struct ure and reducing debt, including through extraordinary transactions and a more efficient allocation of capital.
This process has contributed to greater visibility of operating cash flows, a strengthening of financial sustainability and a clearer focus on a ctivities with higher added value. Furthermore, the advent of Artificial Intelligence presents a further opportunity to accelerate the optimisation of the Issuer ’s operational structure. In this context, the Offeror, which already holds the Poste Shareholding , and which therefore has a thorough understanding of the Issuer ’s industrial, operational and financial profile , intends to act as a source of support, reinforcement and acceleration for the continuation of this process, fostering further opportunities for development, efficiency and the enhancement of the industrial initiatives already underway, also thanks to the c ontribution that the Offeror can provide in light of its role as a systemic company for the Country .
In light of the above, the Transaction forms part of an industrial and strategic framework consistent with the Offeror ’s long -term objectives, further strengthening its competitive position and creating value for all stakeholders, as it will enable to:
- allow the Offeror an acceleration of growth along the path, started nine years ago, for the creation of a platform company that combines under the umbrella of the most advanced digital technology a varied set of products offered with the best possible user experience for the needs of a broad customer base. This strategy is the basis of the results of the Offeror, which uses its significant physical presence across the country to support the digital transformation of customer services;
- strengthen a national champion characterised by scale, diversification and solidity sufficient to ensure a growing and sustainable cash generation capacity over time, and capable of playing a leading role in the process of strengthening the sovereignty and digital transformation of the Country. Furthermore, on a combined basis, the Offeror will be able to pursue further growth opportunities in areas adjacent to telecommunications and other sectors;
- provide the Issuer with a robust and stable governance structure, with a significantly larger industrial scale and greater investment capacity to support the acceleration of digital and technological transformation programmes and the necessary infrastructu re investments, thereby strengthening the Issuer ’s competitive position;
- contribute to the reshaping of the Italian telecommunications sector, fostering the emergence of a leading operator with the financial capacity and scale to support the investment required for the management, maintenance and innovation of the
157 national digital infrastructure and the provision of best -in-class services to its
customers;
- combine the assets and expertise of the Offeror with the assets and expertise of the Issuer, which by their nature are highly complementary. In particular, on the one hand, TIM’s infrastructure – data centres and connectivity – and, on the other hand, Poste ’s specialist assets and expertise developed in the digital transformation of hybrid cloud and AI, in addition to partnerships with technology players such as Google, AWS and Microsoft. The combination of these elements strengthens the credibility of the industrial proposition and makes it possible to present customers with a more comprehensive value proposition , capable of covering both the infrastructure layer and the application and transformation layer, with solutions relating to: application modernisation, migration and management of hybrid/multi -cloud platforms , basic software licences, dedicated AI infrastructure, and progressively also AI -based vertical
services;
- strengthen the Offeror ’s presence in the retail customer connectivity sector, which, through Poste ’s distribution platform, has reached approximately 5 million customers.
This strengthening of the sector will enable the Offeror to increase its cross -selling capacity to an incrementally larger customer base with a spending power likely to be higher than that of the Offeror ’s current customer base;
- leverage the Offeror ’s “P” App to drive cross -selling and up-selling opportunities by integrating the Issuer ’s products. The “P” App is a fully scalable platform capable of rapidly integrating the Issuer ’s products, ensuring a seamless user experience that can support digital sales and facilitate access to post offices;
- develop the Country ’s critical infrastructure, with a particular focus on supporting businesses and Public Administrations in their digitalisation processes, and on enhancing telecommunications networks, in line with national and European strategic guidelines on innovation, i nfrastructure security and technological sovereignty;
- enhance the expertise and assets of the Offeror in the context of Digital Identity services and multi -channel KYC identification models; in this context, it should be noted that Poste Italiane is the leading SPID Digital Identity Provider with a market share of over 70%, committed to the future evolution towards the Italian and European models of national and European Digital Identity Wallet. The ability to verify the Customer ’s identity in compliance with stringent regulatory requirements whilst ensuring a frictionless user experience represents a process of fundamental importance within Poste Italiane ’s “platform ” and operating model, which is necessary both at the point of entry into the relationship and for the management and maintenance of the relationship over time. In this context, it will be possible to activate various synergies with the Issuer, contributing significantly to the overall value creation of the Poste Group;
- enhance the expertise of the Offeror ’s and Issuer ’s human resources in their respective sectors of operation and client bases; in this context, it is also important to recognise that a company such as Poste Italiane, which represents a strategic infrastructure for the Country, not only has the responsibil ity but also the opportunity to establish itself as a hub capable of attracting and retaining the best talent, offering a solid, forward -looking path for the best skills of the Italian system. The advent of AI
158 will profoundly reshape the professional landscape: new roles requiring a high level of hybrid and specialist skills will emerge. Poste Italiane must champion this change along two complementary lines. On the one hand, it must make itself attractive to new professionals capable of accelerating digital transformation processes; on the other hand, it must develop its internal human capital, which is currently at risk of rapid professional ageing and skills obsolescence;
- create value for all shareholders, also thanks to the significant expected pre -tax synergies, estimated at a run -rate of at least EUR 0.7 billion per year, an amount which is expected to be achieved from the second year following completion of the Offer as regards cost synergies and from the third year as regards revenue synergies15;
- achieve sustainable growth in profitability and expected returns for the benefit of all
shareholders;
- maintain and further strengthen the commitment to support the Italian economy and local communities, whilst preserving the widespread coverage of services across the country and maintaining the quality of the postal services and Public Administration (Polis) services provided by the Offeror.
G.2.2. Programmes relating to the management of activities The following describes the future plans drawn up by the Offeror in relation to the Issuer in the event of completion of the Offer (including in the event that the Offeror were to waive the Threshold Condition).
Specifically: (i) Paragraph G.2.2.1 provides a description of the strategic and industrial objectives of the Issuer within the Poste Group following completion of the Offer; (ii) Paragraph G.2.2.2 provides a description of the synergies resulting from the strategic and industrial objectives of the Issuer within the Poste Group following completion of the Offer.
G.2.2.1. Strategic and industrial objectives of the integration of the Issuer into the Poste
Group
From an industrial and strategic perspective, the Transaction would enable the creation of an integrated Group with leading positions in the key sectors in which it operates, capitalising on the complementary nature of the industrial assets, technological expertise and customer bases of the companies involved.
As part of the Poste Group, TIM would act as a catalyst for the digitalisation of the Public Administration and Italian businesses.
The combined group would emerge as one of the leading integrated platforms in Italy in connectivity and technology services , financial, insurance and logistics services, with aggregate management revenues of approximately EUR 26.9 billion16, an Aggregate EBIT of approximately EUR 4.8 billion17 and approximately 140,000 employees. The new Group would at the same time maintain a significant concentration of its profitability in the financial and
15With the exception of funding synergies, which will be realised in line with the Issuer's debt maturity and refinancing profile.
16Based on the financial results for the 2025 financial year, excluding synergies.
17Based on the financial results for the 2025 financial year, excluding synergies.
159 insurance businesses, which, on a 2025 pro forma basis, would contribute approximately 64% of aggregate EBIT, confirming the central role of these segments in overall value creation.
The significant operational scale, combined with the extensive distribution network and the depth of customer relationships, would represent a distinctive feature supporting the group ’s growth and commercial effectiveness. In short, this would involve the Offeror accelerating its well-established efforts to create an efficient distribution platform which, through its cross -
selling capabilities, will continue to increase its operating leverage and expand its operating margin.
The combination of the two entities would also enable the optimisation and rationalisation of expenditure in various areas, including technology and digitalisation, through the joint and integrated management of technology platforms and infrastructure and the related expenditure , with significant benefits in terms of efficiency, time -to-market and capacity to invest in technology.
It is clear that sound and strategic investment in infrastructure is an essential element in supporting the Country ’s digital transformation. Technological sovereignty and a full transition to AI require, in fact, the presence of a key player capable not only of steering internal developments, but also of supporting the entire national ecosystem at a time of profound ch ange. In this sense, Poste Italiane is in an ideal position to assume this role by, on the one hand, building a modern and AI-driven organisation internally and, on the other hand, making this capability available to the business community, particularly small and medium -
sized enterprises, which currently have a still limited adoption of AI. The aim is to provide a gateway to advanced in frastructures and specialist expertise that would otherwise be inaccessible to a significant part of the economic system. This is a necessary step, given that Italy currently ranks in an intermediate position relative to the other main European countries in terms of investment in AI, with a start -up ecosystem that remains underdeveloped.
Bridging this gap is possible, but it requires players such as Poste Italiane to take on, as has already happened in previous cases, a role as an enabler for the entire sys tem and not merely one of internal transformation.
Leveraging Poste Italiane ’s widespread physical presence, the Transaction will also enable the creation of a distributed real estate asset, whereby selected Poste sorting centres convertible into Edge nodes – unique in Italy for their distribution and adaptability – combined with T IM’s network of technical sites, can represent the physical foundation for future proximity data centres.
In addition to the above, the Issuer has an international presence, particularly in the Brazilian telecommunications market, which is characterised by high profitability and significant cash generation. Currently, the Brazilian market represents a strategi c pillar of primary importance for the Issuer, and in this market, the Issuer boasts a solid and sustainable competitive position, supported by high -quality infrastructure assets and a broad and growing customer base. The presence in the Country is charact erised by favourable market dynamics, with a more rational competitive environment and significant growth potential in data and digital services. In this context, the Issuer has demonstrated a proven track record of operational and commercial execution, re sulting in profitable growth and robust cash generation, contributing significantly to the group ’s overall value creation.
A key element of the business rationale behind the Transaction is represented by the Offeror ’s national distribution platform following completion of the Offer, which would combine an
160 extremely extensive physical network – comprising almost 13,000 post offices, the more than 4,000 TIM retail stores and a network of over 49,000 third -party partners – with a base of over 19 million active digital customers, leveraging Poste ’s “P” App, the market leader with over 4 million daily active users, designed as a scalable platform for the rapid integration of new products and services, including telecommunications services for which TIM will become the sole product manufacturer.
The Transaction would also strengthen the new group ’s role as a leading provider of technology, connectivity, financial and logistics services to citizens, businesses and Public Administrations, thanks to a unique portfolio of comprehensive and complementary solutions, backed by advanced technological expertise in the fields of cloud services, data management, Art ificial Intelligence (agentic), the Internet of Things and cyber -security . In this context, the Offeror ’s governance structure following the Offer, characterised by the retention of a majority of the share capital attributable to publicly controlled entities, will help to ensure a stable structure consistent with the nature of the services of general interest provided by the Group, fostering a structured and ongoing dialogue with the relevant Institutions and Public Administrations, while respecting managerial autonomy, market rules and the applicable regulatory framework. This structure would fit within a context capable of supporting the digital transformation processes of the Country ’s economic and institutional system, with a view to promoting digital sovereignty, the business fabric and access to services across all areas of the Country, whilst ensuring the security and resilience of infrastructures.
The Transaction will also enable the Issuer ’s human resources to be fully valued, as they would be integrated into a larger group characterised by a comprehensive corporate welfare system, training and skills development programmes, and professional support initiatives, also certified to nationally and internationally recognised standards. Belonging to a group with greater scale, governance stability and a broader product portfolio also serves to enhance the Group ’s appeal to qualified professionals, including those in highly technological and digital fields, helping to sustain, in the medium to long term, the ability to attract, develop and retain talent in a competitive context at both national and European level.
As at the Offer Document Date, the Offeror does not intend to make any substantial changes to the employment contracts of TIM ’s employees and those of the companies forming part of the TIM Group . Therefore, it is not expected that the Offer will have any direct negative consequences on the overall headcount of the TIM Group in terms of working or employment conditions. Taking into account the complementarity (and absence of overlap) between Poste ’s and TIM ’s businesses , as at the Offer Document Date, it is reasonable to assume that, in the event of completion of the Offer, there will be no impact on the human capital and existing operating sites of Poste Italiane and TIM.
G.2.2.2. Synergies resulting from the Issuer ’s strategic and industrial objectives within the Poste Group upon completion of the Offer In this context, the Issuer presents industrial and financial characteristics that are fully compatible (starting from the geographical sharing of the majority of their respective resources) with those of the Offeror, with whom there are significant strategic and operational complementarities, capable of generating industrial synergies, cost efficiencies and opportunities for commercial development, whilst ensuring the optimal valorisation of the TIM Group ’s assets and expertise.
161 The expected synergies form part of a process of industrial and commercial integration already initiated by the Offeror in recent months, since the acquisition of its first stake in the Issuer in February 2025. In this context, the Offeror has progressivel y developed initiatives aimed at leveraging their respective expertise and customer bases, as demonstrated, among other things, by the signing of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO ) agreement, the launch of a partnership in the energy sector and in protective insurance policies, as well as further joint projects currently under development and due to be launched shortly.
The Offeror has identified a total potential for pre -tax synergies of at least EUR 0.7 billion per annum at run -rate, of which EUR 0.5 billion relates to cost synergies, including the efficiencies achievable on the Issuer ’s current level of financing cost and thanks to the optimisation of the Issuer ’s capital structure. Revenue synergies have been estimated at over EUR 0.2 billion.
Revenue synergies are expected to be realised within three years of the completion of the Offer. Cost synergies are expected to be realised within two years of the completion of the Offer.
Revenue synergies derive mainly from the complementarity of the customer bases, the broadening and enhancement of the commercial offering and the integration of products and services with higher added value. In particular, revenue synergies are expected fr om:
- integrated offerings and solutions for corporate clients (Large Cap and SMEs) and for the Public Administration through the combination of financial services, welfare services , telecommunications and logistics services in a platform logic and the strengthening of the commercial proposition;
- cross -selling and up-selling of financial and insurance products, leveraging the complementarity of the distribution channels, increased penetration of higher -value segments and the digital marketplace for merchant partner products and services;
- convergence of telecommunications service offerings between TIM ’s and PosteMobile ’s customer bases, with the development of a converged ecosystem, up -selling levers , improved customer retention and progressive extension of services, including fixed -line;
- creation of the leading Customer Data Platform in Italy through the combination of transactional data (from Poste: payments, investments, purchases, logistics) with behavioural data (from TIM: browsing, geolocation, usage) giving rise to a unique information asset in Italy – a foundation for personalisation, credit scoring, fraud prevention and predictive offers.
Revenue synergies are expected to develop progressively from the completion of the Transaction, following a gradual timeline, consistent with their nature and the timescales typically associated with commercial integration processes. In particular, such sy nergies are expected to materialise initially to a limited degree in the first months following completion of the Offer , albeit with the possibility of capturing some quick -impact initiatives already in the first year, before evidencing progressive acceleration in the course of the second year, through to full development over a time horizon of approximately three years from the Transaction, it being understood that the actual pace of achievement may be influenced by various factors, including the execution complexity of the underlying initiatives and the relevant market context.
Cost synergies derive primarily from economies of scale and the rationalisation and efficiency improvements of the main operating cost items of the combined Poste Group.
162 The benefits are attributable both to interventions on direct costs, including commercial and distribution costs, and to interventions on indirect costs, including expenditure on technology infrastructure, central functions and support services. In particu lar, the principal sources of cost synergies are:
- rationalisation of operating costs and personnel costs through the integration of Poste Italiane ’s telecommunications business with TIM ’s Consumer business ;
- integration and optimisation of IT and network platforms and operations , including customer operations services (call centres and back office) through the rationalisation of infrastructure, application simplification, asset sharing and the adoption of more efficient
operating models;
- centralisation and optimisation of procurement processes and the purchasing of goods and services, with consequent benefits in terms of scale, standardisation and greater
negotiating power;
- refocusing of the physical network, through the optimisation of the territorial presence, the revision of distribution models and greater integration of channels;
- optimisation of marketing and communication expenditure;
- efficiency improvements in central functions and support services, including through the progressive adoption of advanced technological solutions and automation tools;
- opportunities in Poste ’s business areas (e.g. logistics, welfare, insurance, e tc.), including through the internalisation of a portion of the costs currently borne by TIM towards third -
party suppliers and the development of the services offered ;
- optimisation of real estate assets.
Within the scope of cost synergies, the contribution relating to the capital structure and sources of financing is also of relevance. In particular, such synergies relate to the possibility of progressively benefiting, on a combined basis and at current ma rket conditions, from a cost of funding potentially lower than that of the Issuer, also thanks to the investment -grade credit rating profile that the Offeror intends to maintain upon completion of the Offer. This benefit may derive from (a) broader and more diversified access to the capital mark ets, consistent with the greater scale and solidity of the new Poste Group , (b) greater resilience in accessing sources of funding even during periods of market volatility or stress, and (c) more efficient and integrated management of the Issuer ’s debt and liquidity, with consequent efficiencies on the cost of funding and an overall optimisation of the financial structure, including through recourse to intercompany financial activities made available by the Offeror.
Cost synergies are expected to emerge according to an earlier timeline compared to revenue synergies, benefiting from the greater immediacy of implementation of rationalisation and operational integration initiatives. In particular, it is expected that ini tial tactical efficiencies will be achieved in the first year following completion of the Offer (such as, for example, interventions on the purchasing base), followed by a progressive increase in benefits through to full realisation within approximately two years of completion of the Transaction.18 Following completion of the Offer, the Offeror will maintain a solid financial structure, consistent with an investment -grade credit rating, as well as a level of debt deemed
18With the exception of funding synergies , which will be realised in line with the Issuer's debt maturity and refinancing profile.
163 sustainable and appropriate to the industrial characteristics and cash flows of the new Poste Group.
The initiatives aimed at achieving cost synergies will be implemented whilst preserving the widespread coverage of postal and Public Administration services across the country, reallocating resources freed up as a result of the integration to areas with hi gher growth potential, and without impacting staffing levels at Post Offices, within the postal and parcel network, and in telecommunications services.
The Transaction also accelerates the utilisation of TIM ’s carried -forward tax losses through the prospective strengthening of TIM ’s taxable base, as a result of the expected industrial synergies.
As at 31 December 2025, in the Issuer ’s Annual Financial Report, no deferred tax assets relating to TIM ’s carried -forward tax losses, for a total estimated amount of approximately EUR 954 million, nor those relating to the Aid for Economic Growth (ACE) tax relief, for an estimated amount of approximately EUR 82 million, are recorded. This circumstance is attributable to the assessments made as regards the temporal distribution of the recoverability of TIM ’s aforementioned tax losses and ACE tax relief.
The completion of the Transaction makes it possible – inter alia – to positively affect the prospects for the recoverability of such tax losses and ACE tax relief, in light of the expected increase in TIM ’s taxable profitability as a result of the expected industrial synergies . As of the Offer Document Date, in the absence of detailed information, in consideration of the evolution of the Transaction itself and the plurality of scenarios still open, it is not possible to represent reliable and sufficiently supported estimates regarding the possible recognition and quantification of the aforementioned deferred tax assets.
The one -off costs required to achieve the synergies are currently estimated at approximately EUR 0.7 billion before tax and are expected to be incurred mainly in the financial years 2026 and 2027, with the full amount recognised in the income statement in those periods where the conditions for capitalisation are not met.
In light of the above, a positive impact on the Offeror’s earnings per share is expected from the 2027 financial year; furthermore, the new group ’s financial strength, high cash generation and substantial distributable capital reserves will ensure a neutral impact on Poste Italiane ’s dividend per share on the net profit of 2026.
The Offeror notes that the full achievement of the expected synergies, as described in this Paragraph, is conditional upon reaching the Threshold Condition. In particular, if, following the completion of the Offer, the Threshold Condition is not achieved and the Offeror decides to waive it – thereby holding a stake of less than 66.67% of the Issuer ’s share capital – the future plans and industrial initiatives would necessarily be calibrated in light of the stake held and whether or not it is possible to exercise direction and coordination activities over the Issuer . Therefore, in the event of non -fulfilment of the Threshold Condition and the consequent waiver thereof by the Offeror, the achievable synergies would be materially lower than those described , as the Issuer would remain a listed company not integrated within the Poste Group; in such scenario the synergies achievable would be mainly limited to commercial, technological and operational initiatives (insourcing), already communicated to the market by Poste Italiane on 26 February 2026 with reference to additional gross annual revenues of EUR 100 million when fully operational and by TIM on 25 February 2026 relating
164 to an annual EBITDA After Lease when fully loaded of EUR 50 million. In order to achieve a full realization of the synergies, the Offeror reserves the right to implement, also on the basis of the results of the Offer, the most appropriate actions to facilitate the objectives of integration, value creation and gr owth (including extraordinary actions and/or transactions from which the Delisting of the Issuer may derive); in this regard, reference is made to what is represented in Section A, Paragraph A.8 and in Section G, Paragraph G.2.4 . In this regard, it is recalled that the full realisation of the synergies described in this Paragraph will be possible upon achievement of a shareholding in the share capital of the Issuer equal to or exceeding 66.67%.
Acceptance of the Offer will enable the Issuer ’s shareholders to hold shares in the Offeror and thus participate in the creation, and subsequent distribution, of value arising from the realisation of the synergies described above. Following completion of the Offer, the Offeror ’s shares will benefit from a large and highly liquid free float of over EUR 20 billion, with a high -
quality shareholder base comprising leading international and Italian institutional investors, alongside a broad and solid base of retail investors.
The Poste Group resulting from the completion of the Offer will benefit from stable governance, with the Italian State acting as the majority shareholder with a controlling stake (including through the stake held by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A.), ensuring long -term stability and a clear strategic mandate focused on creating value for all stakeholders and for the Country as a whole. This ownership structure also ensures a strong alignment of interests, aimed at supporting competitive performance and sustainable returns for shareholders over time.
G.2.3. Investments and future sources of financing As at the Offer Document Date, the Board of Directors of the Offeror has not taken any decision regarding significant investments and/or investments in addition to those generally required for the operational management of activities in the industrial sect or in which the Issuer itself operates.
G.2.4. Transaction upon completion of the Offer The Offeror intends to proceed with the Delisting, namely the revocation of the Issuer ’s shares from trading on Euronext Milan, pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Document.
As indicated in Paragraph A.1 of Section A of the Offer Document , the effectiveness of the Offer is conditional upon the fulfilment of the Threshold Condition, namely the Offeror achieving, upon completion of the Offer, a stake of more than 66.67% of the Issuer ’s share capital, in order to enable the Offeror to hold an absolute majority at the extraordinary shareholders ’ meeting of the Issuer.
Regardless of the Delisting of TIM, the Offeror does not exclude the possibility of evaluating in the future, at its discretion, any other extraordinary transactions and/or corporate or business reorganisations that may be deemed appropriate, in line with the objectives and rationale of the Offer, which will also be deemed appropriate in order to ensure the integration of the activities of Poste and TIM, balancing the interests of all stakeholders involved.
165 As at the Offer Document Date, the Offeror has not yet taken any decision regarding potential extraordinary reorganisation transactions of the Poste Group following the aggregation with the TIM Group upon completion of the Offer .
For further information provided to TIM ’s shareholders in relation to possible alternative scenarios regarding acceptance or non -acceptance of the Offer, please refer to Paragraph A.14 of Section A of the Offer Document.
G.2.5. Planned changes in the composition of the corporate bodies and related
remuneration
As at the Offer Document Date, the Offeror is not in a position to assess any potential future changes to the management and supervisory bodies of TIM and the companies of the TIM Group , as the only information currently available to Poste is that which is in the public domain.
G.2.6. Amendments to the By -laws As at the Offer Document Date, the Offeror has not identified any specific amendments or changes to be made to the current text of the Issuer ’s by -laws, with the exception of any amendments that may be required following the possible Delisting of the Issuer ’s Shares in order to adapt it to those of an unlisted company.
G.3. Restoration of the free float In the event that, following completion of the Offer, the Offeror were to hold – as a result of the acceptances of the Offer, and/or purchases potentially made outside the Offer itself in accordance with applicable regulations during the Acceptance Period , as possibly extended, and/or reopened – a total shareholding of more than 90% but less than 95% of the Issuer ’s share capital, the Offeror hereby declares that it will not restore the free float and that it will fulfil the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF vis -à-vis any shareholder of TIM who so requests, with the consequent Delisting.

Therefore, the Offeror, by exercising the Squeeze -Out Right, will simultaneously fulfil the Sell -
Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF or the Sell -Out pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, of the TUF vis-à-vis the shareholders of the Issuer who have so requested, thereby giving rise to the Joint Procedure.

166 50 and 50-bis of the Issuers ’ Regulation as referred to by Article 50 -quater of the Issuers ’ Regulation. In this regard, please refer to Paragraph A.11 of Section A of the Offer Document.

VOLUNTARY PUBLIC TOTALITARIAN CASH AND EXCHANGE OFFER PROMOTED BY
POSTE ITALIANE S. P.A. ON THE ORDI NARY SHARES OF TELECOM ITALIA S.P.A.
Notice pursuant to Article 102, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as subsequently amended and integrated, and Article 37 of the regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and integrated, concerning the voluntary public totalitarian cash and exchange offer promoted by Poste Italiane S.p.A. on the ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A..
Rome, 22 March 2026 - Pursuant to article 102, paragraph 1, of Legislative Decree 24 February 1998, n. 58, as subsequently amended and integrated (the “ TUF”), and article 37 of the regulation adopted by CONSOB with resolution n. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as subsequently amended and integrated (the “ Issuers’ Regulation ”), Poste Italiane S.p.A. (“ Poste ” or “Poste Italiane ” or the “Offeror ”), by this notice (the “ Notice ”) announces that on 22 March 2026 it has taken the decision to launch a voluntary public totalitarian cash and excha nge offer pursuant to Articles 102 and 106, paragraph 4, of the TUF (the “ Offer ” or the “ Transaction ”), concerning all of the ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A. (the “ Issuer ” or “ TIM”) admitted to trading on Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (“ Borsa Italiana ”), including the treasury shares held by the Issuer as well as the shares of TIM which can be issued – within the end of the Offer’s acceptance period – in the context of the existing share -based incentive plans (the “Additional Shares ”).
For the purposes of determining the maximum number of ordinary shares subject to the Offer, on a conservative basis, taking into account that, as at the date of this Notice, the conversion of TIM’s savings shares into newly issued TIM’s ordinary shares at a conversion ratio of 1:1, as resolved by the Issuer’s extraordinary general meeting on 28 January 2026 ( the “ Conversion ”), is currently underway, the Offeror has taken into account, in addition to the no. 15,329,466,496 ordinary shares of the Issuer curre ntly in circulation, also the no. 6,027,791,699 newly issued ordinary shares to serve the Conversion as well as the Additional Shares.
Accordingly, the Offer will relate to a maximum of no. 17,063, 618,293 ordinary shares of the Issuer, equal to no. 21,357,258,195 ordinary shares of the Issuer representing 100% of the Issuer’s share capital and ordinary shares (including the treasury shares held by the Issuer itself) post Conversion, excluding no. 4,293,639,902 ordinary shares of the Issuer already held by the Offeror as at the date of this Notice and post Conversion (the “ Shares Subject to the Offer ”), in addition to the Additional Shares .

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan For each Share Subject to the Offer tendered to the Offer, Poste will pay an overall unitary consideration composed as follows (the “ Consideration ”):
- a cash component, equal to Euro 0.167 (the “ Cash Component ”), and
- a component represented by newly issued ordinary shares of the Offeror , equal to no. 0.0218 ordinary shares (the “Shares Component ”).
Therefore, for each no. 5,000 Shares Subject to the Offer tendered to the Offer, no. 109 newly issued ordinary share s of the Offeror and Euro 835 will be paid (subject to the adjustment described below ).
On the basis of the official price of the Offeror ’s shares recorded at the close of 20 March 2026 (last trading day preceding the date of this Notice) equal to Euro 21.4621 (the “ Poste Reference Price ”), the Consideration (i.e., the sum of the Cash Component and Shares Component) evidences a valuation equal to Euro 0.635 for each share of the Issuer (the “ TIM Reference Price ”) and, therefore , incorporates a premium equal to 9.01 % with respect to the official price of the Issuer’s shares recorded at the close of 20 March 2026 (equal to Euro 0.5832).
For further information on the premium incorporated by the Consideration with respect to the weighted daily average of the official prices of the Issuer’s s hares, please refer to paragraph 3.2.1 of this Notice.
Given that Poste announced to the market on 26 February 2026 that the distribution of a final dividend (saldo dividendo ) for the 2025 financial year amounting to Euro 0.85 for each outstanding Poste share (the “ Poste Final Dividend ”) will be submitted to the shareholders for approval, the Consideration is intended as ex Poste Final Dividend, since it is assumed that , prior to the Payment Date, the shareholders’ meeting of Poste will resolve upon the distribution of said Poste Final Dividend .
In this regard, it should be noted that, as announced to the market on 26 February 2026, subject to approval by the general meeting of shareholders, the ex -dividend date for the Poste F inal Dividend will be on 22 June 2026, with payment on 24 June 2026.
For the purposes of the Consideration and the maximum disbursement of the Offer, the Offeror shall take into account the TIM Share Buy -back (as defined below), the TIM Share Cancellation (as defined below) and the TIM Share Reverse Split (as defined below) should such transactions be completed prior to the Payment Date.
In any event, should prior to the Payment Date the Issuer and/or the Offeror pay a dividend to shareholders (other than the Poste Final Dividend), or should the coupon relating to dividends resolved but not yet paid be detached from the Shares Subject to the Offer and/or the Offeror’s shares, as the case may be, the coupon relating to dividends resolved but not yet paid and/or, without prejudice to the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer (as defined below, for which reference is made to para graph 1. 6 below, and in any event should the Offeror waive such Condition of Effectiveness, where applicable), the Issuer approve or implement any transaction relating to its share capital and/or the Issuer’s shares (other than the TIM Share Buy -back, the TIM Share C ancellation and the TIM Share Reverse Split , as defined below), the Offeror shall take the above into account for the purposes of adjusting the Consideration and/or the maximum disbursement of the Offer.
Any adjustment of the Consideration as a result of the foregoing shall be disclosed in the manner and within the time prescribed by applicable law.
The shares of Poste offered as Share s Component of the Consideration will be issued in execution of a delegation given by the shareholders’ meeting for a share capital increase pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code to be released by (and against) the contribution in kind of the S hares Subject to the Offer

The Offeror points out that, in making the Offer, it has relied exclusively on information and data publicly disclosed by the Issuer.
1. LEGAL GROUNDS, RATIONALE AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER
1.1 Legal grounds of the Offer The Offer is a voluntary public cash and exchange offer for all the shares of the Issuer, launched pursuant to Articles 102 and 106, paragraph 4 of the TUF and the relevant implementing provisions contained in the Issuers’ Regulation.
The starting of the Offer is subject to the Bank of Italy Authorization (as defined below) referred to in paragraph 1. 5, while its effectiveness is subject to the Conditions of Effectiveness of the Offer referred to in paragraph 1. 6 (or, in case of non occurrence, to the related waiver by the Offeror) .
1.2 Strategic Vision The overarching objective of the Offer is to build Italy’s largest connected infrastructure platform.
The Transaction represents the natural evolution of a strategic vision that the Offeror has developed over the last nine years: to become not only the country’s largest distribution network, but also its leading digital smart infrastructure platform.
The markets that will generate growth and value in the coming years will no longer be defined solely in the context the boundaries of traditional sectors , since t he boundary between the physical and digital worlds is disappearing. The endpoints of this new economic architecture will not only be people: they will be algorithms, devices and intelligent agents interacting in real time with the physical world.
Whoever owns and manages the infrastructure of this convergence - networks, cloud, edge computing, data, digital identity - will hold a strong competitive position.
Poste Italiane is currently the only operator in Italy that combines a widespread presence across the country, direct access to more than 35 million customers, advanced financial expertise and the ability to integrate physical and digital services into a seamless experience.
The proposed Transaction aims to scale up and enhance the Offeror’s platform by adding three assets that cannot be built ex novo : a nationwide fixed and mobile network, a leading position in the country’s cloud and data centre infrastructure, and the ability to provide secure and sovereign connectivity to businesses, public administrations and critical infrastructure. In this regard, the recent European position statement is significant ( see European Council – EUCO 1/26 of March 19, 2026).
1.3 Reason for the Offer and future plans
4
Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan The Offeror has resolved to launch the Offer as part of its consolidated strategy as an operator active in the integrated provision of a wide range of products and services in the financial, insurance, logistics, telecommunications and utilities sectors, as well as acting as a strategic player in the development and strengthening of the Count ry’s technological infrastructure serving citizens, businesses and the Public Administration, through a “platform company ” business model based on the integration of physical and digital channels that constitute the largest distribution network in Italy.
The sector comprising connectivity services, cloud data services, Internet of Things ( IoT), cyber security and Intelligence Artificial of agents (“agentic” AI) , in which both the Offeror and the Issuer operate is characterised by a complex and rapidly evolving competitive environment, influenced by sudden accelerations and shifts in technological paradigms . Operators in the sector operate within a regulatory framework harmonised at European level, aimed at promoting competition, access to infrastructure and user protection, as well as supporting the development of next -generation networks and the processes of rapid digitalisation of the economy. The refore, the sector presents significant growth opportunities arising from increased market efficiency , due to the reduction in the number of market participants (see overview of key European and non -European countries) and the structurally growing demand for digital end -to-end services offered to retail customers, businesses and public administrations. In this cont ext, the ongoing digital and artificial intelligence ( agentic ) revolution in the sector is set to further accelerate demand for the services provided by the Issuer.
In line with these developments in the sector, over the years the Issuer has initiated and progressively implemented a strategy to strengthen its economic and financial position, aimed at improving operating profitability, simplifying its industrial structure and reducing debt, including through extraordinary transactions and a more efficient allocation of capital. This process has contributed to greater visibil ity of operating cash flows, a strengthening of financial sustainability and a clearer focus on a ctivities with higher added value. Furthermore, the advent of Artificial Intelligence presents a further opportunity to accelerate the optimisation of the Issuer’s operational structure. In this context, the Offeror, which already holds a significant stake in the Issuer’s share capital, amounting to approximately 27.3% of the ordinary shares (pre -
Conversion), and which therefore has a thorough understanding of its industrial, operational a nd financial profile, intends to act as a source of support , reinforc ement and acceleration for the continuation of this process, fostering further opportunities for development, efficiency and the enhancement of the industrial initiatives already underway also thanks to the contribution that the Offeror can provide within the institutional sphere . In addition, both the Offeror and the Issuer continue to share best -in-class operational processes across the companies.
In light of the above, the Transaction forms part of an industrial and strategic framework consistent with the Offeror’s long -term objectives, further strengthening its competitive position and creating value for all stakeholders, as it will enable to:
- allow the Offeror an acceleration of growth along the path , started nine years ago , for the creating a platform company that combines under the umbrella of the most advanced digital technology a varied set of products offered with the best possible user experience for the needs of a broad customer base. This strategy is the basis of the results of the Offeror , which uses the significant physical presence to support the digital transformation of customer services;
- strengthen a national champion characterised by scale, diversification and solidity sufficient to ensure a growing and sustainable cash generation capacity over time, and capable of playing a leading role in the process of strengthening of the sovereignty and digital transformation of the Country . Furthermore, on a combined basis, the Offeror will be able to pursue attractive growth opportunities in areas adjacent to telecommunications and other sectors;
- provide the Issuer with a robust and stable governance structure, with a significantly larger industrial scale and greater investment capacity to support the acceleration of digital and technological
5
Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan transformation programmes and the necessary infrastructure investments, thereby strengthening the Issuer’s competitive position ;
- contribute to the reshaping of the Italian telecommunications sector, fostering the emergence of a leading operator with the financial capacity and scale to support the investment required for the management, maintenance , innovation of the national digital infrastructure and the provision of best -in-class services to its clients;
- provide the Offeror with immediate access to the Issuer’s wealth of industrial expertise in the telecommunications sector and technological developed over time with the TIM brand. The integration will also enable the Issuer to leverage its Enterprise business as a driver of growth, providing the Offeror with the necessary platform to expand into the sectors of cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence ( agentic ), cybersecurity and the IoT. The incorporation of these elements into the Offeror’s commercial offe ring and distribution network would enable a coherent and integrated expansion of the portfolio of services available to customers, creating a distinctive position on the national stage through the introduction of a premium brand within a distribution plat form that is unique in terms of its reach and depth of engagement with the local community ;
- strengthen the Offeror’s presence in the retail customer connectivity sector, which, through Poste’s distribution platform, has reached approximately 5 million customers since 2007. This strengthening of the business will enable the Offeror to increase its capacity for cross -selling to a customer base that is growing in numbers and whose spending power is likely to be higher than that of the Offeror’s current customer base; develop the Country’s critical infrastructure, with a particular focus on supporting businesses and Public Administrations in their digitalization processes, and on enhancing telecommunications networks, in line with national and European strategic guidelines on innovation, infrastructure security, and technological sovereignty;
- enhance the expertise of the Offeror’s and Issuer’s human resources in their respective sectors of operation and client bases; in this context, it is also important to recognise that a company such as Poste Italiane, which represents a strategic infrastruc ture for the Country, not only has the responsibility but also the opportunity to establish itself as a hub capable of attracting and retaining the best talent, offering a solid, forward -looking path for the best skills of the Italian system. The advent of AI will profoundly reshape the professional landscape: new roles requiring a high level of hybrid and specialist skills will emerge. Poste Italiane must champion this change along two complementary lines. On the one hand, it must make itself attractive to new professionals capable of accelerating digital transformation processes; on the other, it must develop its internal human capital, which is currently at risk of rapid professional ageing and skills obsolescence. In this context, a structured reskilling strategy is not merely an investment in people, but becomes a fundamental competitive prerequisite for sustaining growth and consolidating Poste’s role in the Country’s future
technological ecosystem;
- create value for all shareholders, also thanks to the significant synergies expected, estimated at around Euro 0. 7 billion before tax per year, a figure that is expected to be achieved from the second year following the completion of the Offer for the cost synergies and from the third year for the
revenue synergies3;
- achieve sustainable growth in profitability and expected returns for the benefit of all shareholders;
- maintain and further strengthen the commitment to support the Italian economy and local communities, whilst ensuring the widespread coverage of services across the country and maintaining the quality of the postal services and Public Administration provide d by the Offeror.

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan In order to facilitate a more effective integration of the respective businesses and the achievement of the industrial and strategic objectives underlying the Transaction, the Offer is designed to acquire the Issuer’s entire share capital and, consequently , to secure the delisting of the Issuer’s shares from Euronext Milan (the “Delisting ”) in the context of the Offer. Therefore – subject to the relevant conditions being met – the Offeror does not intend to restore a free float sufficient to ensure the orde rly trading of the Issuer’s shares. It is not the Offeror’s intention to proceed with a merger with the Issuer in order to preserve the Issuer’s operational goodwill in the specific sectors concerned.
1.4 Industrial and strategic aspects From an industrial and strategic perspective, the Transaction would enable the creation of an integrated Group with leading positions in the key sectors in which it operates, capitalising on the complementary nature of the industrial assets, technological expertise and customer bases of the companies involved.
As part of the Poste Group, TIM would act as a catalyst for the digitalisation of the Public Administration and Italian businesses.
The combined group would emerge as one of the leading integrated platforms in Italy in the connectivity, financial, insurance and logistics services , with aggregate revenues of approximately Euro 2 6.9 billion4, pro forma aggregate EBIT of approximately Euro 4 .8 billion5, and over 150,000 employees.
The significant operational scale, combined with the extensive distribution network and the depth of customer relationships, would represent a distinctive feature supporting the group’s growth and commercial effectiveness. In short, this would involve the Offeror accelerating its well -established efforts to create an efficient distribution platform which, through its cross -selling capabilities, will continue to increase its operating leverage and expand its operating margin.
The combination of the two entities would also enable the optimisation and rationalisation of investments in technology and digitalisation, through joint management of IT spending and platforms, with significant benefits in terms of efficiency , time -to-market and capacity to invest in technology .
It is clear that sound and strategic investment in infrastructure is an essential element in supporting the Country’s digital transformation. Technological sovereignty and a full transition to AI require, in fact, the presence of a key player capable not only of steering internal developments, but also of supporting the entire national ecosystem at a time of profound change. In this sense, Poste Italiane is in a ideal condition to assume this role by, on the one hand, building a modern and AI-driven organisation internally and, on the other hand, making this capability available to the business community, particul arly Small and Medium -sized Enterprises, which currently have limited adoption of AI. The aim is to provide a gateway to advanced infrastructure s and specialist expertise that would otherwise be inaccessible to a significant part of the econom ic system . This is a necessary step, given that Italy currently ranks in the middle among the other main European Countries in terms of investment in AI, with a start -up ecosystem that remains underdeveloped. Bridging this gap is possible, but it requires players such as Poste Italiane to take on, as has already happened in previous cases, a role as an enabler for the entire system and not merely one of internal transformation.
In addition to the above, the Issuer has an international presence, particularly in the Brazilian telecommunications market, which is characterised by high profitability and significant cash generation.
Currently, the Brazilian market represents a strategi c pillar of primary importance for the Issuer , and in this market, the Issuer boasts a solid and sustainable competitive position, supported by high -quality infrastructure assets and a broad customer base, which continues to grow. The presence in the Country is characterised by favourable market trends, with a more rational competitive environment and significant

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan growth potential in data and digital services. In this context, the Issuer has demonstrated a proven track record of operational and commercial execution, resulting in profitable growth and robust cash generation, contributing significantly to the group’s overall value creation.
A key element of the business rationale behind the Transaction is represented by the Offeror’s national distribution platform following the completion of the Offer, which would combine an extremely extensive physical network – comprising almost 13,000 post offices, the more than 4 ,000 TIM retail stores and a network of over 49,000 third -party partners – with a base of over 19 million active digital customers, leveraging Poste’s “P” App, the market leader with over 4 million daily active users, designed as a scalable platform for the rapid integration of new products and services, including telecommunications services for which TIM will become the sole product manufacturer.
The Transaction would also strengthen the new group’s role as a leading provider of technology, financial and logistics services to citizens, businesses and Public Administrations, thanks to a unique portfolio of comprehensive and complementary solutions, backed by advanced technological expertise in the fields of cloud computing, data management, Artificial Intelligence (agentic) , the Internet of Things and cyber -
security. In this context, the Offeror’s governance structure following the Offer, characteris ed by the retention of a majority of the share capital attributable to publicly controlled entities, will help to ensure a stable structure consistent with the nature of the services of general interest provided by the Group, fostering a structured and ong oing dialogue with the relevant Institutions and Public Administrations, while respecting managerial autonomy, market rules and the applicable regulatory framework. This structure would fit within a context capable of supporting the digital transformation processes of the Country’s economic and institutional system, with a view to promoting digital sovereignty, the business fabric and access to services across all areas of the Country, whilst ensuring the security and resilience of infrastructures.
The Transaction will also enable the Issuer’s human resources to be fully valued, as they would be integrated into a larger group characterised by a comprehensive corporate welfare system, training and skills development programmes, and professional suppor t initiatives, also certified to nationally and internationally recognised standards. Belonging to a group with greater scale, governance stability and a broader product portfolio also serves to enhance the Group’s appeal to qualified professionals, includ ing those in highly technological and digital fields, helping to sustain, in the medium -long term, the ability to attract, develop and retain talent in a competitive context at both national and European level.
In this context, the Issuer’s industrial and financial characteristics are fully compatible (starting from the geographical sharing of the majority of their respective resources) with those of the Offeror, with whom there are significant strategic and operational synergies, capable of generating industrial synergies, cost efficiencies and opportunities for commercial development, whilst ensuring the optimal valorisation of the TIM group’s assets and expertise.
The expected synergies form part of a process of industrial and commercial integration already initiated by the Offeror in recent months, following the acquisition of its first stake in the Issuer in February 2025. In this context, the Offeror has progress ively developed initiatives aimed at leveraging their respective expertise and customer bases, as demonstrated, among other things, by the signing of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement, the launch of a partnership in the energy sector and in protective insurance policies, as well as further joint projects currently under development and due to be launched shortly.
The Offeror has identified a total potential for pre -tax synergies of approximately Euro 0. 7 billion per annum at full scale, of which Euro 0. 5 billion relates to cost synergies and including the efficiencies achievable on the Issuer’s current level of financing cost and thanks to the optimisation of the Issuer’s capital structure.
Revenue synergies have been estimated at over Euro 0.2 billion. Revenue synergies are expected to be realized within three years of the completion of the Offer. Cost synergies are expected to be realized within two years of the completion of the Offer .

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan Revenue synergies derive mainly from the strengthening of cross -selling and up -selling activities in the retail, Enterprise and Public Administration segments, through the leveraging of their respective customer bases, distribution networks and product str engths, as well as the integration of commercial offerings supported by advanced data analytics and Artificial Intelligence solutions, aimed at improving targeting, offer personalisation and customer engagement levels. An important area of development has been identified in the integrated end-to-end offer of services for Small and Medium Enterprises and for the Public Administration, thanks to the combination of TIM’s advanced digital services (e.g. cloud, cybersecurity, digital VAS) and to Poste Italiane ’s distribution model and product portfolio (payments, insurance) .
Cost synergies stem primarily from: i) the optimisation of central functions, procurement, IT and back -office functions, thanks to the consolidation of the purchase volume scale and the adoption of Poste Italiane’s best -
in-class operational processes and ii) optimizing marketing and communication expenses by leveraging the extensive reach and visibility of Poste Italiane’s physical and digital network, and (iii) more efficient management of the Issuer’s financial structure, debt and liquidity, with a benefit on the cost of funding.
Initiatives aimed at achieving cost synergies will be implemented whilst preserving the extensive coverage of postal and Public Admini stration services across the country, reallocating resources freed up as a result of the integratio n to areas with higher growth potential, and without impacting staffing levels at Post Offices, within the postal and parcel network, and in telecommunications services.
The positive industrial synergies between the two groups would also result in the partial realisation of TIM’s deferred tax assets, which stood at Euro 982 million as at 31 December 2024, since they will become recoverable within a defined timeframe. The quantification of these benefits will be examined in detail prior to the publication of the Offer Document.
The one -off costs required to realise synergies are currently estimated at approximately Euro 0.7 billion before tax and are expected to be incurred mainly in the financial years 2026 and 2027, with the full amount recognised in the income statement during those periods.
In light of the above, the Issuer expects a positive impact on its earnings per share from the 2027 financial year; furthermore, the new group’s financial strength, high cash generation and substantial distributable capital reserves will ensure a neutral impact on Poste Italiane’s dividend per share on the net profit of 2026 .
Following the completion of the Offer, the Offeror will maintain a solid financial structure, consistent with an investment -grade credit rating, as well as a level of debt deemed sustainable and appropriate to the industrial characteristics and cash flows of the new Group.
Acceptance of the Offer will enable the Issuer’s shareholders to hold shares in the Offeror and thus participate in the creation, and subsequent distribution, of value arising from the realisation of the synergies described above. Following completion of t he Offer, the Offeror’s shares will benefit from a large and highly liquid free float of over Euro 15 billion, with a high -quality shareholder base comprising leading international and Italian institutional investors, alongside a broad and solid base of re tail investors.
The Group resulting from the completion of the Offer will benefit from stable governance, with the Italian State acting as the majority shareholder with a stake of over 50% (including through the stake held by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti) , ensuring long -term stability and a clear strategic mandate focused on creating value for all stakeholders and for the Country as a whole. This ownership structure also ensures a strong alignment of interests, aimed at supporting competitive performance a nd sustainable retur ns for shareholders over time.

As at the date of this Notice , the Offeror holds, directly, n. 4,187,269,890 ordinary shares of the Issuer representing 27.315% of the ordinary share capital of the Issuer ex isting as od the date of this Notice and no .
106,370,012 savings shares representing 1.765% of the savings shares (which will be object of Conversion).
Therefore, as a consequence of the Conversion, the Offeror will own overall no. 4,293,639,902 ordinary shares of TIM representing 20.104% of the share capital (the “ Poste Participation ”).
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the TIM shareholders’ meeting held on 28 January 2026 resolved (in addition to the Conversion) to carry out a voluntary reduction of the share capital (pursuant to Article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code ) to Euro 6,000,000,000.00, allocating the proceeds (i) to the legal reserve up to one -fifth of the share capital and, for the remain er part , (ii) to an available equity reserve (the “ TIM Capital Reduction ”). The TIM Capital Reduction will leave the number of the Issuer’s shares unchanged, whilst reducing their nominal value. As indicated in the explanatory report of TIM’s Board of Directors, this transaction “ forms part of a broader transaction that also includes the Conversion and, in this context, the portion of the Capital Reduction to be allocated to an available reserve is also intended to cover the capital requirements arising from the Conversion ”.
Finally, it should also be noted that the Issuer’s Board of Directors has proposed to the Issuer’s general meeting of shareholders, convened for 15 April 2026, to resolve on, inter alia :

- again in extraordinary session, the cancellation - without a reduction of share capital and with a corresponding increase in the implicit par value of TIM shares - of up to a maximum of no.
700,000,000 ordinary shares to be treated as reduced, following the TIM Share Reverse Split , to a maximum total of no. 70,000,000 ordinary shares ( the “TIM Share Cancellation ”).

4. DELISTING OF THE ISSUER’S SHARES
Notwithstanding the fact that the Offeror will make its own determinations as to the fulfilment (or non fulfilment) of the Threshold Condition under the terms set out in paragraph 1. 6 above, the objective of the Offer is to acquire the entire share capital of the Issuer and to achieve the revocation from trading of the TIM’s s hares from the Euronext Milan stock exchange. Indeed, it is believed that the Delisting will further the objectives of integration, creation of synergies and growth between Poste and TIM.
4.1. Obligation to purchase under Article 108 paragraph 2 of the TUF In the event that, following the completion of the Offer, including any extension of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror comes to hold, as a result of the acceptances to the Offer and of any purchases made outside of the Offer pursuant to the applicable reg ulations by the end of the Acceptance Period (as possibly extended) an overall participation of more than 90%, but less than 95%, of the Issuer ’s share capital, the Offeror hereby declares its intention not to restore a free float sufficient to ensure the regular trading of Issuer’s s hares.
It should be noted that, for the purposes of calculating the threshold provided for in Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF, any treasury shares held by TIM will be counted in the total participation held directly or indirectly by the Offeror (numerator) without being subtracted from the Issuer ’s share capital (denominator).
If the conditions are met, the Offeror will also fulfil its obligation to purchase the remaining Issuer’s s hares from the Issuer ’s shareholders who have requested it in accordance with Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF (the “ Sell Out Procedure under Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF ”), paying them a price per share determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 108, paragraphs 3 or 4, of the TUF, and Articles 50 and 50 -bis of the Issuers ’ Regulation. However, should the conditions set forth i n Article 108, paragraph 5, of
18
Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly , in the United States of America , in Australia, in Canada o r in Japan the TUF be met, the remaining shareholders of TIM may request the payment of an alternative consideration in cash, the amount of which shall be determined pursuant to applicable regulations.

In such a case, holders of TIM’s s hares who did not accept the Offer and who did not intend to avail themselves of the right to request the Offeror to proceed to purchase their shares pursuant to the Sell Out Procedure under article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF will remain holders of financial instruments not traded on any regulated market, with the consequent difficulty of liquidating their investment.
4.2. Obligation to purchase under Article 108 paragraph 1 of the TUF and Squeeze -out Right under Article 111 of the TUF If, following completion of the Offer, including any extension of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror comes to hold, as a result of acceptances to the Offer and any purchases made outside of the Offer in accordance with applicable regulations by the end of the Acceptance Period (as extended, if applicable) and during and/or following the procedure aimed at fulfilling the Sell Out Procedure under Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF, an overall participation at least equal to 95% of the Issuer ’s share capital , the Offeror hereby declares its intention to avail itself of the right to purchase the remaining Issuer s hares pursuant to Article 111 of the TUF (the “ Squeeze -out Right ”), recognizing to the holders of such shares a consideration determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 108, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the TUF, as recalled by Article 111 of the TUF, as well as the provisions of Articles 50 and 50 -bis of the Issuers ’ Regulation, as recalled by Article 50-quater of the Issuers ’ Regulation.
However, pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 5, of the TUF and Article 50 -quater of the Issuers ’ Regulation, the remaining shareholders of the Issuer may request the payment of an alternative consideration in cash, the amount of which will be determined in accordance with the applicable law. The Offeror shall give notice within the legal terms of any existence of the conditions for the Squeeze -out Right.
It should be noted that, for the purposes of calculating the threshold provided for in Articles 108 paragraph 1 and 111 of the TUF, any treasury shares held by TIM will be counted in the total participation held directly or indirectly by the Offeror (numerator) without being subtracted from the Issuer ’s share capital (denominator).
The Offeror, by exercising the Squeeze -out Right, will also fulfil the purchase obligation pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 1, TUF, vis-à-vis the shareholders of the Issuer who have requested it, thus giving rise to a single procedure.
The aforementioned joint procedure will be put in place after the conclusion of the Offer or the procedure aimed at fulfilling the Sell Out Procedure pursuant to Article 108, paragraph 2, of the TUF, within the terms that will be communicated pursuant to l aw.
Pursuant to Article 2.5.1, paragraph 6, of the Stock Exchange Regulations, in the event of the exercise of the Squeeze -out Right, Borsa Italiana shall order the suspension from listing and/or the Delisting of the Issuer’s shares, taking into account the timeframe envisaged for the exercise of the Squeeze -out Right.

In such a case, the Offeror does not intend to put in place measures aimed at restoring the minimum free float conditions to ensure regular trading of the Issuer’s s hares, and Borsa Italiana could order the suspension of the Issuer ’s share s from listing and/or the Delisting pursuant to Article 2.5.1 of the current Stock Exchange Regulations.
In the event that, following the completion of the Offer, the Delisting is not achieved, the Offeror shall evaluate, also on the basis of the results of the Offer, the most appropriate actions to facilitate the objectives of integration, creation of synerg ies and growth referred to in paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3 (including actions and/or transactions from which the Delisting of the Issuer may result).

18 sinergie e crescita di Poste Italiane e di TIM sottesi all’Offerta , fermo restando che Poste assumerà le proprie determinazioni in merito all’avveramento (ovvero al mancato avveramento) della Condizione Soglia e alla relativa rinuncia nei termini indicati nella Sezione A, Paragrafo A.1.7, del Documento di Offerta .
Pertanto – al verificarsi dei relativi presupposti – l’Offerente ha dichiarato che non intende ripristinare un flottante sufficiente ad assicurare il regolare andamento delle negoziazioni delle Azioni dell’Emittente.

Come indicato alla Sezione C, Paragrafo C.1. del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente si riserva il diritto di acquistare, prendere accordi per acquistare o acquisire in altro modo azioni ordinarie dell’Emittente al di fuori dell’Offerta, nei limiti consentiti dalle leggi e dai regolamenti applicabili.

Come precisato nell’Avvertenza A.1.2 del Documento di Offerta, l ’Offerente ha ottenuto l’autorizzazione da parte della Banca d’Italia ai sensi degli articoli 19 e 22 del TUB, come richiamati dall’articolo 110 del TUB, richiesta della normativa di settore in relazione all’Offerta, al fine di acquisire, indirettamente tramite l’Emittente, in c aso di successo dell’Offerta, una partecipazione qualificata in TIMFin S.p.A. (l’“ Autorizzazione di Banca d’Italia”). In particolare, in data 10 aprile 2026, è stata presentata istanza alla Banca d’Italia per l’autorizzazione preventiva all’acquisizione della suddetta partecipazione indiretta qualificata e la Banca d’Italia ha rilasciato l’Autorizzazione di Banca d’Italia in data 14 luglio 2026 (provvedimento prot. n. 1417473/26 del 14 luglio 2026).
Si segnala che l’Offerente ha, altresì, ricevuto le ulteriori autorizzazioni richieste ai fini del completamento dell’Operazione (le “ Altre Autorizzazioni ” e, insieme alle Autorizzazioni Preventive, le “ Autorizzazioni ”). In particolare:
(i) in data 9 aprile 2026, è stata presentata la notifica all’attenzione della Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri ai sensi e per gli effetti degli articoli 1 e 2 del D.L. 15 marzo 2012, n. 21, convertito con modificazioni dalla Legge 11 maggio 2012 n. 56 e s.m.i., in materia di esercizio dei poteri speciali in relazione a investimenti in settori strategici.
La Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri in data 3 giugno 2026 ha comunicato la propria decisione di non esercitare i poteri speciali previsti dal suddetto D.L. 15 marzo 2012, n. 21;
(ii) in data 8 aprile 2026, è stata presentata la notifica all’attenzione della autorità antitrust brasiliana (CADE) ai sensi e per gli effetti della legge n. 12,529/2011 per l’acquisizione indiretta, attraverso TIM, del controllo di TIM S.A.. L’autorizzazione da parte di Cade è stata ottenuta in data 29 aprile 2026, con efficacia definitiva del provvedimento autorizzatorio in data 19 maggio 2026;
22 (iii) in data 9 aprile 2026, è stata presentata la notifica all’attenzione del Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy della richiesta di autorizzazione, ai sensi e per gli effetti dell’art. 64 del D.Lgs. 1° agosto 2003, n. 259 e s.m.i. (Codice delle comunicazioni elettroniche) per il trasferimento di diritti d’uso individuali dello spettro radio. In data 23 giugno 2026, il Ministero delle Imprese e del Made in Italy ha comunicato di non ravv isare elementi ostativi ai fini della presa atto dell’istanza, in caso di esito positivo dell’Offerta ;
(iv) in data 9 aprile 2026, è stata presentata alla Commissione Europea la comunicazione, ai sensi e per gli effetti del Regolamento (UE) 2022/2560 relativo alle sovvenzioni estere distorsive del mercato interno. La relativa autorizzazione è stata ottenuta in data 1° giugno 2026.
Inoltre, in data 9 aprile 2026, è stata presentata la notifica all’attenzione dell’ Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni (“AgCom”), ai sensi dell’articolo 1, comma 6, lett. c), n. 13, Legge 249/1997 correlata al trasferimento del titolo autorizzativo “di media audiovisivo” relativo all’offerta “TIM Vision”.
Secondo quanto rappresentato dall’Offerente nel Documento di Offerta, come comunicato ad AgCom in data 7 luglio 2026 , la notifica è stata ritirata considerato che Poste - a seguito di più approfondite analisi - al perfezionamento dell’Offerta intende rendere TIM Vision una piattaforma di aggregazione di contenuti di terzi senza responsabilità editoriale, mantenendo quindi l’offerta sul mercato. A tal fine, sempre secondo quanto rappresentato dall’Offerente nel Documento di Offerta, si procederà pertanto alla richiesta al MIMIT del titolo abilitativo ai sensi dell’art. 28 del D. lgs. 208/2021 (“ TUSMA ”). L’Offerente ritiene che tale circostanza non determinerà effetti economici di rilievo su TIMVision.
L’Offerente ha precisa to, da ultimo , che, ai fini dello svolgimento dell’Offerta, non risultano necessarie autorizzazioni e/o nulla osta ulteriori rispetto a quanto sopra rappresentato.
L’Offerente potrà rinunciare, in tutto o in parte, a una o più delle Condizioni dell’Offerta, ovvero modificarle, in tutto o in parte, in conformità alla disciplina applicabile, dandone comunicazione ai sensi della normativa vigente. Con riferimento alla Condizione Soglia, nell’Avvertenza A.1.4. del Documento di Offerta è specificato che, t enuto conto degli obiettivi dell’Offerta e dei programmi futuri dell’Offerente relativi all’Emittente, nonché dell’attuale assetto azionario dell’Emittente, nel caso in cui la Condizione Soglia non si avverasse, l’Offerente si riserva la facoltà di rinunci are a detta Condizione di Efficacia e di procedere con l’acquisto di tutte le Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta anche qualora il quantitativo di Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta sia inferiore rispetto a quello indicato nella Condizione Soglia .
Nell’Avvertenza A.1.7. del Documento di Offerta, è specificato che Poste, in conformità alle previsioni di cui all’articolo 43, comma 1, del Regolamento Emittenti, si riserva la facoltà di modificare e/o rinunciare a, in tutto o in parte, ovvero invocare i l mancato avveramento di, una o più delle Condizioni di Efficacia, solo espressamente, dandone comunicazione nelle forme previste dall’articolo 36 del Regolamento Emittenti.
Ai sensi dell’art . 36 del Regolamento Emittenti, l’Offerente comunicherà l’avveramento o il mancato avveramento delle Condizioni dell’Offerta e, nel caso in cui le Condizioni dell’Offerta non fossero eventualmente avverate, l’eventuale rinuncia a una o più di tali Condizion i dell’Offerta, entro i seguenti termini :
(i) per la Condizione Soglia, con il Comunicato sui Risultati Provvisori dell’Offerta che sarà diffuso entro la sera dell’ultimo Giorno di Borsa Aperta del Periodo di Adesione
23 – e, comunque, entro le 7:29 del primo Giorno di Borsa Aperta successivo alla fine del Periodo di Adesione ( ossia, il 14 settembre 2026 , salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile) – e che dovrà essere confermato con il Comunicato sui Risultati Definitivi dell’Offerta, che sarà diffuso entro le ore 7:29 del Giorno di Borsa Aperta antecedente la Data di Pagamento del Corrispettivo (ossia, il 17 settembre 2026 , salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla
normativa applicabile);
(ii) quanto a tutte le altre Condizioni di Efficacia, con il Comunicato sui Risultati Definitivi dell’Offerta, che sarà diffuso entro le ore 7:29 del Giorno di Borsa Aperta antecedente la Data di Pagamento del Corrispettivo (ossia, il 17 settembre 2026 , salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile).
In caso di mancato avveramento anche di una sola delle Condizioni di Efficacia e di mancato esercizio da parte dell’Offerente della facoltà di rinunziarvi, in conformità alla normativa applicabile, l’Offerta non si perfezionerà e si intenderà venuta meno. In tal caso, le Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta saranno rimesse a disposizione dei rispettivi titolari entro il primo Giorno di Borsa Aperta successivo alla data in cui verrà comunicato, per la prima volta, il mancato perfezionamento dell’Offerta, per il tramite degli Intermediari Depositari, senza add ebito di oneri o spese a loro carico.
1.3. Corrispettivo e controvalore complessivo dell’Offerta La Comunicazione dell’Offerente prevedeva che, fatto salvo quanto segue, per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta, Poste avrebbe offerto un corrispettivo complessivo unitario rappresentato dalle seguenti componenti: una comp onente in denaro pari a Euro 0,167 e una componente in titoli pari a n. 0,0218 azioni ordinarie dell’Offerente di nuova emissione.
Per effetto del Raggruppamento TIM, divenuto efficace a far data dal 15 giugno 2026, il corrispettivo dell’Offerta, come annunciato nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente è stato rettificato per tenere conto di tale operazione societaria, pur rimanendo immutat a la sostanza economica dell’Offerta medesima.
Pertanto, c ome indicato nella Sezione E, Paragrafo E. 4. del Documento di Offerta , per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta, l’Offerente riconoscerà un corrispettivo unitario compost o da:
(i) una componente in denaro, pari a Euro 1,67 (la “Componente in Denaro ”), e (ii) una componente rappresentata dalle Azioni Poste emesse in esecuzione dell’Aumento di Capitale al Servizio dell’Offerta, pari a n. 0,218 Azioni Poste aventi godimento regolare e le stesse caratteristiche delle azioni ordinarie dell’Offerente già in circolazione alla data di emissione, che saranno quotate su Euronext Milan, per ogni Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offert a (la “ Componente in Azioni ” e, unitamente alla Componente in Denaro, il “ Corrispettivo ”).
Pertanto, a titolo esemplificativo, per ogni n. 500 Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta saranno corrisposte n. 109 Azioni Poste di nuova emissione ed Euro 835,00.
Come indicato nell’Avvertenza A.6. del Documento di Offerta, t enuto conto del fatto che per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta saranno attribuite quale Componente in Azioni del Corrispettivo, sulla base del Rapporto di Scambio, n. 0,0218 Azioni Poste (oltre alla Componente in Denaro) , il risultato dell’applicazione del Rapporto di Scambio
24 alle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta da un Aderente potrebbe non essere un numero intero di Azioni Poste ( i.e., laddove un Aderente non apportasse all’Offerta almeno n. 500 Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta , ovvero un numero di Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta pari ad un multiplo intero di 500).
Nella Sezione F, Paragrafo F.5. del Documento di Offerta, è precisato che q ualora il risultato dell’applicazione del Rapporto di Scambio alle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta medesima da un Aderente non fosse un numero intero di Azioni Poste (ossia, a titolo meramente esemplificativo, laddove un Aderente non portasse in adesione all’Offerta almeno n. 500 Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta, ovvero un numero di Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta pari ad un multiplo intero di 500), l’Intermediario Depositario o l’Intermediario Incaricato presso il quale tale Aderente abbia presentato la propria adesione dovrà indicare nella Scheda di Adesione la parte frazionaria di Azioni Poste di spettanza di detto Aderente (ognuna, una “Parte Frazionaria ”). Entro il Giorno di Borsa Aperta successivo alla chiusura del Periodo di Adesione (come eventualmente prorogato) (ovvero, se applicabile, della Riapertura dei Termini), ciascun Intermediario Incaricato, anche per conto degli Intermediari Depositari che gli abbiano fatto pervenire adesioni all’Offerta, provvederà a comunicare agli Intermediari Incaricati del Coordinamento della Raccolta delle Adesioni il numero di Azioni Poste derivante dall’aggregazione delle Parti Frazionarie.
Gli Intermediari Incaricati del Coordinamento della Raccolta delle Adesioni – in nome e per conto degli Aderenti e sulla base delle comunicazioni ricevute dagli Intermediari Depositari per il tramite degli Intermediari Incaricati – provvederanno all’aggreg azione delle Parti Frazionarie delle Azioni Poste e alla successiva cessione su Euronext Milan, del numero intero di Azioni Poste derivante da tale aggregazione. I proventi in denaro di tali cessioni saranno trasferiti a ciascun Intermediario Incaricato ch e procederà, quindi, all’accredito ai relativi Aderenti in proporzione alle rispettive Parti Frazionarie (tale importo in denaro corrispondente alla Parte Frazionaria, l’“ Importo in Contanti della Parte Frazionaria ”).
Pertanto, le somme risultanti dalle suddette cessioni – che saranno riconosciute agli Aderenti a titolo di Importo in Contanti della Parte Frazionaria – saranno pari alla media dei prezzi di cessione del numero intero di Azioni Poste derivante dall’aggregazione e verranno versate agli Aderenti come segue: entro 10 Giorni di Borsa Aperta dalla Data di Pagamento (ossia, entro il 2 ottobre 2026, salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile), o, in relazione alle Azioni TIM portate in adesione durante l’eventuale Riapertura dei Termini , dalla Data di Pagamento della Riapertura dei Termini (ossia, entro il 16 ottobre 2026, salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile), gli Intermediari Incaricati del Coordinamento della Raccolta delle Adesioni accrediteranno l’importo della vendita agli Intermediari Depositari, per il tramite degli Inter mediari Incaricati, ripartendolo in maniera tale da far pervenire a ciascun Intermediario Depositario una cifra pari al totale dell’Importo in Contanti della Parte Frazionaria dovuto agli Aderenti che hanno portato in adesione all’Offerta le proprie Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta attraverso tale Intermediario Depositario. Gli Intermediari Depositari dovranno, a loro volta, distribuire e accreditare i provent i agli Aderenti partecipanti, secondo le procedure indicate nella Scheda di Adesione.
Si precisa che l’Aderente non sopporterà alcun costo o commissione di contrattazione, né in relazione all’assegnazione delle Azioni Poste, né per il pagamento dell’Importo in Contanti della Parte Frazionaria. In ogni caso, non sarà corrisposto alcun tipo di interesse sull’Importo in Contanti della Parte Frazionaria.
Come indicato nella Premessa 2 del Documento di Offerta, s ulla base del prezzo ufficiale delle
25 azioni dell’Offerente rilevato alla chiusura del 20 marzo 2026 (ultimo giorno di borsa aperta prima della Data del Comunicato 102) (la “ Data di Riferimento ”), pari a Euro 21, 462, il Corrispettivo (i.e. la somma tra la Componente in Denaro e la Componente in Azioni ) esprime una valorizzazione pari a Euro 0,635 (ante Raggruppamento TIM) e pari a Euro 6,35 ( post Raggruppamento TIM) per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta e, pertanto, incorpora un premio pari al 9,01% rispetto al prezzo ufficiale delle Azioni dell’Emittente rilevato alla Data di Riferimento (pari a Euro 0,583 (ante Raggruppamento TIM) ).
Si segnala che nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente, Poste aveva dichiarato quanto segue “tenuto conto che Poste ha annunciato al mercato, in data 26 febbraio 2026, che sarà sottoposta all’approvazione dei soci la distribuzione del Saldo Dividendo Poste, il Corrispettivo è da intendersi ex Saldo Dividendo Poste, in quanto si ipotizza che l’asse mblea dei soci di Poste, prima della Data di Pagamento, approvi la distribuzione di detto Saldo Dividendo Poste”. L’assemblea ordinaria degli azionisti dell’Offerente ha deliberato – in considerazione dell’importo già distribuito a titolo di acconto sul dividendo per l’esercizio 2025 in data 26 novembre 2025 pari a Euro 0,40 per azione di Poste – la distribuzione del S aldo Dividendo Poste pari a Euro 0,85 per ogni azione di Poste in circolazione avente diritto al pagamento del dividendo alla data prevista di godimento. La distribuzione del Saldo Dividendo Poste è avvenuta, in conformità alle norme di legge e regolamentari applicabili, con stacco della cedola in data 22 giugno 2026 e pagamento il 24 giugno 2026. A seguito del pagamento del Saldo Dividendo Poste, pertanto, l’Offerente non ha apportato aggiustamenti al la Componente in Azioni del corrispettivo pari a n. 0,0218 Azioni Poste di nuova emissione per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta .
L’Offerente ha precisato che ai fini del Corrispettivo e dell’Esborso Massimo dell’Offerta, l’Offerente terrà conto, tra l’altro, dell’eventuale Acquisto di Azioni Proprie TIM e dell’eventuale Annullamento Azioni Proprie TIM , ove tali operazioni dovessero perfezionarsi prima della Data di Pagamento.

Mancata adesione all’Offerta In caso di avveramento delle Condizioni di Efficacia (o in caso di rinuncia da parte dell’Offerente a tutte o ad alcune delle Condizioni di Efficacia) e, quindi, di perfezionamento dell’Offerta, gli azionisti dell’Emittente che non a derissero all’Offerta, si troverebbero di fronte a uno dei possibili scenari di seguito descritti, precisandosi che gli scenari alternativi descritti nei successivi punti (A), (B) , (C) e (D) potranno ciascuno verificarsi congiuntamente allo scenario ( E) di seguito descritto.

In tal caso, i titolari di Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta che non abbiano aderito all’Offerta saranno obbligati a trasferire la titolarità delle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta da essi detenute all’Offerente e, per l’effetto, riceveranno per ogni Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta un corrispettivo determinato ai sensi delle disposizioni cui all’articolo 108, commi 3 o 4, del TUF, come richiamate dall’articolo 111 del TUF, nonché delle disposizioni di cui agli articoli 50 e 50 -bis

2. COMUNICATO DELL’EMITTENTE
Ai sensi dell’art. 103, commi 3 e 3 -bis, del TUF e dell’art. 39 del Regolamento Emittenti, il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente è tenuto a diffondere un comunicato contenente ogni dato utile per l’apprezzamento dell’Offerta e la propria valutazione sulla medesima (il “Comunicato dell’Emittente ” o “ Comunicato 103 ”).
A tali fini, il Consiglio di Amministrazione, in data 13 aprile 2026, al fine di poter valutare con maggiore compiutezza la congruità ovvero la non congruità del Corrispettivo, ha deliberato di conferire, separatamente, a Evercore Partners International LLP (“Evercore ”) e a Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Succursale Italia (“ Goldman Sachs ”) l’incarico di advisor finanziari dell’Emittente in relazione all’Offerta (congiuntamente, gli “ Advisor Finanziari ”), con lo scopo di ottenere dagli Advisor Finanziari elementi, dati e riferimenti finanziari utili a supporto delle proprie valutazioni.
Evercore e Goldman Sachs hanno svolto, separatamente, le proprie analisi e hanno reso, a beneficio del Consiglio di Amministrazione, le proprie fairness opinion in data 18 luglio 2026 circa la congruità, da un punto di vista finanziario, per i titolari delle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta (diversi dall’Offerente e dalle società del Gruppo Poste), del Corrispettivo offerto a tali titolari per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta (congiuntamente, le “ Fairness Opinion”).
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente si è riunito , anche alla presenza del Collegio Sindacale, in data 17 luglio 2026 e nuovamente in data 18 luglio 2026 per esaminare l’Offerta .
In data 1 8 luglio 2026, il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente , anche alla presenza del Collegio Sindacale, ha deliberato di approvare il presente Comunicato 103, contenente, tra l’altro, la valutazione motivata del Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente medesimo sull’Offerta e , anche sulla base delle Fairness Opinion , sulla congruità da un punto di vista finanziario del Corrispettivo.
Si segnala che, per una compiuta e integrale conoscenza dei presupposti, termini e condizioni dell’Offerta occorre fare esclusivo riferimento al Documento di Offerta pubblicato e messo a disposizione dall’Offerente ai sensi delle disposizioni di legge e re golamentari applicabili.
Il presente Comunicato 103 non intende , pertanto , sostituire in alcun modo il Documento di Offerta o qualunque altro documento relativo all’Offerta di competenza e responsabilità dell’Offerente e diffuso dal medesimo (incluso il Documento di Esenzione) e non costituisce in alcun modo, né può essere inteso come, una raccomandazione ad aderire o a non aderire all’Offerta , né sostituisce la necessità che ogni singolo azionista svolga la propria personale valutazione in relazione all’adesione all’Offerta e ad ogni altra operazione che concerne l’Emittente e gli strumenti finanziari emessi dallo stesso, sulla base di quanto rappresentato dall’Offerente nel Documento di Offerta.
Le considerazioni del Consiglio di Amministrazione, con particolare riferimento alla congruità da un punto di vista finanziario del Corrispettivo, prescindono infatti, per loro natura, da ogni più ampia considerazione che un azionista, destinatario dell’Offerta, deve autonomamente svolgere ai fini dell’adesione o meno all’Offerta medesima, tenuto anche conto, in particolare,
33 dell’andamento di mercato delle Azioni TIM durante il Periodo di Adesione, delle proprie strategie di investimento e delle caratteristiche della partecipazione del medesimo detenuta.
Il presente Comunicato dell’Emittente – redatto esclusivamente sulla base, ai sensi e per gli effetti della normativa italiana ed in particolare con le finalità e nei limiti de gli artt. 103 del TUF e 39 del Regolamento Emittenti – non è in alcun modo volto a ottemperare a normative diverse da quella italiana, né può essere in alcun caso valutato interpretato e/o utilizzato alla luce o in applicazione di qualsivoglia diversa normativa.
L’Offerta non ricade nella fattispecie di cui all’art. 39 -bis del Regolamento Emittenti e, pertanto, non richiede la predisposizione di un parere motivato contenente le valutazioni sull’Offerta e sulla congruità del Corrispettivo, da parte degli amministratori indipendenti dell’Emittente che non siano parti correlate con l’Offerente, ai sensi e per gli effetti del citato articolo.
Il presente Comunicato dell’Emittente è stato redatto in lingua italiana. Ogni sua eventuale traduzione, integrale o parziale, non è stata curata dal Consiglio di Amministrazione e, pertanto, il contenuto del presente Comunicato dell’Emittente, predisposto in lingua italiana, prevale su dette eventuali traduzioni.
Infine, si evidenzia che le considerazioni del Consiglio di Amministrazione sono basate sul Documento di Offerta, da cui sono tratte, tra l’altro, anche le citazioni e i riferimenti riportati nel Comunicato dell’Emittente, nonché sulle valutazioni espresse dagli Advisor Finanziari incaricat i dall’Emittente .
Più in generale, il presente Comunicato dell’Emittente tiene necessariamente conto solo delle circostanze di fatto in concreto intervenute prima della sua emissione.

5. VALUTAZIONI DEL CONSIGLIO DI AMMINISTRAZIONE DELL ’EMITTENTE IN MERITO
ALL’OFFERTA E ALLA CONGRUITÀ DEL CORRISPETTIVO
5.1. Motivazioni dell’Offerta Nel Documento di Offerta, l ’Offerente indica di avere deliberato la promozione del l’Offerta nell’ambito della propria consolidata strategia di operatore attivo nella fornitura integrata di una vasta gamma di prodotti e servizi in ambito finanziario, assicurativo, logistico, delle telecomunicazioni e delle utilities , oltre che di player strategico per lo sviluppo e il rafforzamento dell’infrastruttura tecnologica del Paese a servizio di cittadini, imprese e Pubblica Amministrazione, attraverso un modello di business di “società piattaforma” basato sull’integrazione di canali fisici e digitali che costituiscono la più ampia rete distributiva presente in Italia.
Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, i l comparto dei servizi di connettività, servizi dati su cloud , Internet of Things (IOT), cyber -security e Intelligenza Artificiale degli agenti (“ agentic” AI), in cui sia l’Offerente che l’Emittente operano è caratterizzato da un contesto competitivo articolato e in rapida evoluzione, influenzato da repentine accelerazioni e cambi di paradigma tecnologico. Gli operatori del settore agiscono all’interno di un impianto normativo armonizzato a livello europeo, volto a promuovere la concorrenza, l’accesso alle infrastrutture e la tutela degli utenti, nonché a sostenere lo sviluppo delle reti di nuova generazione e i processi di rapida digitalizzazione dell’econ omia. Il settore presenta quindi significative opportunità di crescita derivanti dalle nuove tecnologie per la connettività, dalla riduzione del numero di operatori di mercato (cfr. evidenza principali Paesi Europei e non) e dalla domanda strutturalmente c rescente di servizi digitali end -to-end offerti a clienti retail, imprese e pubbliche amministrazioni. In questo contesto, la rivoluzione digitale e dell’Intelligenza Artificiale ( agentic ) in corso nel settore è destinata ad accelerare ulteriormente la domanda per i servizi forniti dall’Emittente.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, c oerentemente con tale evoluzione del contesto settoriale , nel corso degli anni l’Emittente ha avviato e progressivamente implementato un percorso di rafforzamento del proprio profilo economico -finanziario, volto al miglioramento della redditività operativa, alla semplificazione dell’assetto industriale e alla rid uzione dell’indebitamento, anche attraverso operazioni straordinarie e una più efficiente allocazione del capitale. Tale percorso ha contribuito ad una maggiore visibilità sui flussi di cassa operativi, a un rafforzamento della sostenibilità finanziaria e ad una più chiara focalizzazione sulle attività a maggiore valore aggiunto. Inoltre, l’avvento dell’Intelligenza Artificiale rappresenta un’ulteriore opportunità per accelerare l’ottimizzazione dell’assetto operativo dell’Emittente. In tale contesto, l’Off erente, che già detiene la Partecipazione Poste, e che pertanto conosce a fondo il profilo industriale, operativo e finanziario dell’Emittente, intende rappresentare un elemento di supporto, rafforzamento e accelerazione per il proseguimento di tale percor so, favorendo ulteriori opportunità di sviluppo, efficienza e valorizzazione delle iniziative industriali già avviate anche grazie al contributo che l’Offerente potrà apportare in considerazione del proprio ruolo di azienda sistemica per il Paese.
38 Alla luce di quanto precede, l’Offerente precisa che l’Operazione si inserisce in un contesto industriale e strategico coerente con i propri obiettivi di lungo periodo, rafforzandone ulteriormente il posizionamento competitivo e generando valore per tutti gli stakeholder , in quanto consentirà di:
- permettere all’Offerente un’accelerazione di crescita lungo il percorso, avviato nove anni fa, per la creazione di una società piattaforma che combin i sotto l’ombrello della tecnologia digitale più avanzata un insieme variegato di prodotti offerti con la migliore user-experience possibile per i bisogni di una base ampia di clienti. Tale strategia è alla base dei risultati dell’Offerente che usa l’importante presenza fisica sul territorio nazionale per accompagnare la trasformazione digitale dei servizi ai clienti;
- rafforzare un campione nazionale caratterizzato da dimensioni, diversificazione e solidità tali da garantire una capacità di generazione di cassa crescente e sostenibile nel tempo ed in grado di svolgere un ruolo di primo piano nel processo di rafforzament o della sovranità e trasformazione digitale del Paese. Inoltre, su base combinata, l’Offerente sarà in grado di perseguire ulteriori opportunità di crescita in aree adiacenti alle telecomunicazioni e ad altri settori;
- dotare l’Emittente di una struttura di governance solida e stabile, con una più significativa scala industriale e maggiore capacità di investimento a supporto dell’accelerazione dei programmi di trasformazione digitale e tecnologica e degli investimenti infrastrutturali necessari, rafforzando il posizion amento competitivo
dell’Emittente;
- contribuire al rimodellamento del settore italiano delle telecomunicazioni, favorendo l’emersione di un operatore di riferimento, con capacità finanziarie e scala tali da poter sostenere gli investimenti necessari alla gestione, al mantenimento, all’innova zione delle infrastrutture digitali nazionali e alla fornitura di servizi best-in-class ai propri
clienti;
- mettere a fattor comune gli asset e le competenze dell’Offerente con gli asset e le competenze dell’Emittente che per loro natura hanno una forte complementarità. In particolare, da un lato l’infrastruttura di TIM — data center e connettività — dall’altro gli asset e le competenze specialistiche di Poste sviluppati nella trasformazione digitale in ambito hybrid cloud e AI, oltre alle partnership con player tecnologici come Google, AWS e Microsoft. La combinazione di questi elementi rafforza la credibilità della proposta industriale e rende possibile presentarsi al cliente con una value proposition più completa, capace di coprire sia il layer infrastrutturale sia quello applicativo e di trasformazione con soluzioni relative a: modernizzazione applicativa, migrazione e gestione di piattaforme hybrid/multi -cloud , licenze software di base, infrastrutture AI dedicate, e progressivamente anche servizi verticali AI -based ;
- rafforzare la presenza dell’Offerente nel settore della connettività dei clienti retail che tramite la piattaforma di distribuzione di Poste ha raggiunto circa 5 milioni di clienti.
Tale rafforzamento nel settore permetterà all’Offerente di incrementare la propria capacità di cross -selling su una base di clienti incrementale per numero e con capacità di spesa verosimilmente incrementale rispetto alla clientela attuale dell’Offerente;
- sfruttare l’ APP “P” dell’Offerente per favorire opportunità di cross -selling e up-selling integrando i prodotti dell’Emittente. L’ APP “P” è infatti una piattaforma completamente scalabile in grado di integrare rapidamente i prodotti dell’Emittente,
39 garantendo un’esperienza utente fluida che possa essere a sostegno delle vendite digitali e facilitare l’accesso all’ufficio postale;
- sviluppare le infrastrutture critiche del Paese, con particolare riferimento al supporto alle imprese e alle Pubbliche Amministrazioni nei processi di digitalizzazione, e al potenziamento delle reti di telecomunicazione, in coerenza con gli indirizzi strat egici nazionali ed Europei in materia di innovazione, sicurezza delle infrastrutture e
sovranità tecnologica;
- valorizzare l’ expertise e gli asset dell’Offerente nel contesto dei servizi di Identità Digitale e nei modelli di KYC di identificazione multicanale; in tale contesto va considerato che Poste Italiane è il primo Gestore d’Identità Digitali SPID con una quota di mercato superiore al 70%, imp egnato nella futura evoluzione verso i modelli italiani ed europei di Wallet di Identità Digitale nazionale ed europeo. La capacità di accertare l’identità del Cliente in coerenza con stringenti requisiti normativi e regolamentari e assicurando una user experience frictionless rappresenta un processo di fondamentale importanza nella “piattaforma” e nel modello operativo di Poste Italiane, necessario sia nella fase di entrata in relazione, che per la gestione e il mantenimento del rapporto nel tempo. In tale ambito sarà possibil e attivare diverse sinergie con l’Emittente, contribuendo in misura rilevante alla creazione di valore complessiva del Gruppo
Poste;
- valorizzare le competenze delle risorse umane dell’Offerente e dell’Emittente nei rispettivi settori di operatività e della clientela servita; in tale contesto, occorre anche considerare che un’azienda come Poste Italiane che rappresenta un’infrastruttura strategica per il Paese non solo ha la responsabilità, ma anche l’opportunità di affermarsi come un polo capace di attrarre e trattenere i migliori talenti, offrendo un percorso solido e proiettato al futuro per le migliori competenze del sistema Italia.
L’avvento dell’AI ridisegnerà in profondità il panorama professionale: emergeranno nuovi ruoli ad alto contenuto di competenze ibride e specialistiche. Poste Italiane deve farsi promotrice di tale cambiamento su due direttrici complementari. Da un lato, dev e sapersi rendere attrattiva per nuove professionalità in grado di accelerare i processi di trasformazione digitale; dall’altro, deve valorizzare il capitale umano interno, oggi esposto al rischio di un rapido invecchiamento professionale e all’obsolescenz a delle
competenze;
- creare valore per tutti gli azionisti, anche grazie alle significative sinergie attese, ante imposte, stimate a regime almeno pari a Euro 0,7 miliardi per anno, ammontare che si prevede di raggiungere a partire dal secondo anno successivo al completamento dell’Offerta per quanto riguarda le sinergie di costo e dal terzo anno per quanto riguarda le sinergie di ricavo2;
- conseguire una crescita sostenibile della redditività e dei ritorni attesi a beneficio di tutti gli azionisti;
- mantenere e rafforzare ulteriormente l’impegno a supporto dell’economia italiana e delle comunità locali, preservando la capillarità della presenza sui territori nonché la qualità dei servizi postali e della Pubblica Amministrazione (Polis) forniti dall’Of ferente.
2 Come precisato dall’Offerente, a d eccezione delle sinergie di funding, la cui realizzazione avverrà con una tempistica coerente con il profilo di scadenze e rifinanziamento del debito dell’Emittente.
40 5.2. Programmi elaborati dall’Offerente 5.2.1 Programmi relativi alla gestione delle attività L’Offerente espone i programmi relativi alla gestione dell’attività alla Sezione G, Paragraf i G.2.2.1 e G.2.2.2. del Documento di Offerta .
Obiettivi strategici e industriali dell’integrazione dell’Emittente nel Gruppo Poste Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.2.1 del Documento di Offerta, sotto il profilo industriale e strategico, l’Operazione consentirebbe la creazione di un gruppo integrato con posizioni di leadership nei principali settori di attività in cui è presente, facendo leva sulla complementarità degli asset industriali, delle competenze tecnologiche e della base clienti delle società coinvolte. Inserita nel Gruppo Poste, TIM rappresenterebbe un acceleratore per la digitalizzazione della Pubblica Amministrazione e delle imprese italiane.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, i l gruppo combinato si configurerebbe come una delle principali piattaforme integrate in Italia nei servizi di connettività e tecnologici, servizi finanziari, assicurativi e di logistica, con ricavi gestionali aggregati pari a circa Euro 26,9 miliardi3, un EBIT Aggregato pari a circa Euro 4,8 miliardi4 e con un numero di dipendenti pari a circa 140 mila. Il nuovo gruppo manterrebbe al contempo una significativa concentrazione della propria redditività nei business finanziario e assicurativo, che, su base pro formata 2025, contribuirebbero in misura pari a circa il 64% dell’EBIT aggregato, confermando il ruolo centrale di tali comparti nella creazione di valore complessiva.
Secondo l’Offerente, la rilevante scala operativa, unita alla capillarità della rete distributiva e alla profondità della relazione con la clientela, rappresenterebbe un elemento distintivo a supporto della crescita e dell’efficacia commerciale del gruppo. In sintesi, si tratterebbe di un’accelerazione da parte dell’Offerente del suo ormai consolidato percorso di creazione di un’efficiente piattaforma di distribuzione che attraverso la capacità di cross -selling continuerà ad aumentare la propria leva operativa ed espansione del margine operativo. La combinazione delle due realtà consentirebbe, inoltre, di ottimizzare e razionalizzare la spesa in diversi ambiti, tra cui quelli in tecnologia e in digitalizzazione, attraverso una gestione congiunta ed integrata delle piattaforme e infrastrutture tecnologiche e della relativa spesa, con significativi benefici in termini di efficienza, time-to-market e capacità di investimento in tecnologia.
Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, facendo leva sulla capillare presenza fisica di Poste Italiane, l’Operazione consentirà inoltre di creare un asset immobiliare distribuito, dove selezionati centri di smistamento di Poste convertibili in nodi Edge — unici in Italia per distribuzione e adattabilità — abbinati alla rete di siti tecnici TIM, possono rappresentare la base fisica per i futuri data center di prossimità. A quanto sopra, si aggiunge la presenza a livello internazionale, in particolare nel mercato brasiliano delle telecomunicazioni, caratterizzato da elevata redditività e significativa generazione di cassa. Attualmente, il mercato brasiliano rappresenta un pilastro strategico rilevante per l’Emittente, e in tale mercato l’Emittente vanta un posizionamento competitivo solido e sostenibile, supportato da asset infrastrutturali di elevata qualità e da una base clienti ampia e in crescita. La pres enza nel Paese è caratterizzata da favorevoli dinamiche di mercato, con un contesto competitivo più razionale e un significativo potenziale di sviluppo nei servizi dati e digitali. In tale ambito,

4 Come precisato dall’Offerente, sulla base dei risultati finanziari FY 2025, pre -sinergie.
41 l’Emittente ha dimostrato una comprovata capacità di esecuzione industriale e commerciale, traducendosi in una crescita profittevole e in una robusta generazione di cassa, contribuendo in misura rilevante alla creazione di valore complessiva del gruppo.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, un elemento centrale del razionale industriale dell’Operazione è rappresentato dalla piattaforma distributiva nazionale dell’Offerente a valle del perfezionamento dell’Offerta, che combinerebbe una rete fisica estremamente capill are – costituita da quasi 13.000 uffici postali, gli oltre 4.000 punti vendita TIM e una rete di oltre 49.000 partner terzi – con una base di oltre 19 milioni di clienti digitali attivi, facendo leva sull’App “P” di Poste, leader di mercato con oltre 4 milioni di utenti attivi giornalieri, concepita come piattaforma scalabile per l’integrazione rapida di nuovi prodotti e servizi, inclusi quelli di telecomunicazione di cui TIM diventerà unica fabbrica prodotto.
L’Offerente ritiene che l ’Operazione rafforzerebbe inoltre il ruolo del nuovo gruppo quale fornitore di riferimento di servizi tecnologici, connettività, finanziari, e di logistica a favore di cittadini, imprese e Pubbliche Amministrazioni, grazie a un portafoglio unico di soluzio ni ampio e complementare con competenze tecnologiche avanzate nei settori dei servizi cloud, della gestione dei dati, dell’Intelligenza Artificiale ( agentic), dell’ Internet of Things e della cybersecurity . In tale contesto, la struttura di governance dell’Offerente a seguito dell’Offerta, caratterizzata dal mantenimento di una maggioranza del capitale riconducibile a soggetti a controllo pubblico, contribuirà a garantire un assetto stabile e coerente con la natura di servizi di interesse generale svol ti dal Gruppo Poste , favorendo un dialogo strutturato e continuativo con le Istituzioni e le Amministrazioni Pubbliche di riferimento, nel rispetto dell’autonomia gestionale, delle regole di mercato e del quadro normativo applicabile. Tale configurazione si inserirebbe in un contesto idoneo a sostenere i processi di trasformazione digitale del sistema economico e istituzionale del Paese, al fine di promuovere la sovranità digitale, il tessuto imprenditoriale, e l’accesso ai servizi in tutte le aree del Paese, garantendo sicur ezza e resilienza delle infrastrutture.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, l ’Operazione permetterà inoltre la piena valorizzazione delle risorse umane dell’Emittente, che verrebbero a inserirsi in un gruppo di maggiori dimensioni caratterizzato da un articolato sistema di welfare aziendale, da programmi di formazione e sviluppo delle competenze e da iniziative di supporto professionale, anche certificate secondo standard riconosciuti a livello nazionale e internazionale. L’appartenenza a un gruppo dotato di maggiore scala, stabilità di governance e ampiezza del portafoglio prodotti è altresì funzionale a rafforzare l’attrattività nei confronti di professionalità qualificate, anche in ambiti a elevato contenuto tecnologico e digitale, contribuendo a sostenere nel medio -lungo periodo la capacità di attrarre, sviluppare e trattenere talenti in un contesto competitivo a livello nazionale ed europeo.
Alla Data del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente non prevede di apportare modifiche sostanziali ai contratti di lavoro dei dipendenti di TIM e delle società facenti parte del Gruppo TIM. Pertanto, l’Offerente non prevede che l’Offerta abbia conseguenze negative dirette sul complessivo organico del Gruppo TIM quanto a condizioni di lavoro o di impiego. Tenuto conto della complementarità (e non sovrapposizione) dei business di Poste e TIM, alla Data del Documento di Offerta, a giudizio dell’Offerente è ragionevole ritenere che in caso di perfezionamento dell’Offerta non vi saranno impatti sul capitale umano e sui siti operativi esistenti di Poste Italiane e TIM.
Si ricorda che, nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.2.1 de l Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente ha precisato che, tra le principali fonti di sinergie di costo, sono ricomprese quelle derivanti dalla rifocalizzazione della rete fisica, attraverso l’ottimizzazione della presenza territoriale e
42 l’efficientamento delle funzioni centrali e dei servizi di supporto .
Sinergie conseguenti agli obiettivi strategici e industriali dell’Emittente nel Gruppo Poste a seguito del
perfezionamento dell’Offerta
Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.2.2 del Documento di Offerta, l’Emittente presenta caratteristiche industriali e patrimoniali pienamente integrabili (a partire dalla condivisione geografica della maggioranza delle rispettive risorse) con l’Offerente, con cui sussistono significative complementarità strategiche e oper ative, idonee a generare sinergie industriali, efficienze di costo e opportunità di sviluppo commerciale, nel rispetto della valorizzazione degli asset e delle competenze del Gruppo TIM.
L’Offerente precisa che le sinergie attese si inseriscono in un percorso di integrazione industriale e commerciale già avviato dall’Offerente negli ultimi mesi, sin dall’acquisizione della prima partecipazione nell’Emittente, avvenuta nel febbraio 2025. In tale contesto, l’Offerente ha progressivamente sviluppato iniziative volte alla valorizzazione delle rispettive competenze e basi clienti, come dimostrato, tra l’altro, dalla sottoscrizione del contratto Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), dall’avvio di una partnership nel comparto dell’energia e delle polizze assicurative di protezione, nonché da ulteriori progettualità congiunte attualmente in fase di sviluppo e di prossimo lancio.
L’Offerente ha identificato un potenziale complessivo di sinergie ante imposte pari almeno a Euro 0,7 miliardi annui a regime, di cui Euro 0,5 miliardi riconducibili a sinergie di costo incluse le efficienze conseguibili sugli attuali livelli del costo di finanziamento dell’Emittente e grazie all’ottimizzazione della struttura di capitale di quest’ultima. Le sinergie di ricavo sono state stimate in un ammontare superiore a Euro 0,2 miliardi. L’Offerente si attende che le sinergie di ricavo siano realizzate entro tre anni dal completamento dell’Offerta e che le sinergie di costo siano realizzate entro due anni dal completamento dell’Offerta.
Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, le sinergie di ricavo sono riconducibili principalmente alla complementarità delle basi clienti, all’ampliamento e valorizzazione dell’offerta commerciale e all’integrazione di prodotti e servizi a maggior valore agg iunto. In particolare, le sinergie di ricavo sono attese da:
- offerte e soluzioni per aziende ( Large Cap e PMI) e per la Pubblica Amministrazione attraverso la combinazione di servizi finanziari, servizi welfare , telco e logistici in una logica di piattaforma e il rafforzamento della proposizione commerciale;
- cross -selling e up-selling su prodotti finanziari e assicurativi, facendo leva sulla complementarità dei canali distributivi, sull’aumento della penetrazione sui segmenti a maggiore valore e sul marketplace digitale di prodotti e servizi di merchant partner ;
- convergenza dei servizi di offerta telco tra la base clienti TIM e PosteMobile, con sviluppo di un ecosistema convergente, leve di up-selling , miglioramento della customer retention e progressiva estensione dei servizi, inclusa la rete fissa;
- creazione della Customer data platform leader in Italia attraverso la combinazione dei dati transazionali (da Poste: pagamenti, investimenti, acquisti, logistica) con i dati comportamentali (da TIM: navigazione, geolocalizzazione, utilizzo) dando vita ad un asset informativo unico in Italia — base per personalizzazione, credit scoring , prevenzione frodi e offerte predittive.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, le sinergie di ricavo sono attese svilupparsi in maniera progressiva a decorrere dal perfezionamento dell’Operazione, secondo un profilo temporale graduale, coerente con la natura delle stesse e con le tempistiche tipicamente ass ociate ai processi di
43 integrazione commerciale. In particolare, tali sinergie sono attese manifestarsi inizialmente in misura contenuta nei primi mesi successivi al perfezionamento dell’Offerta, pur prevedendosi la possibilità di cogliere prime iniziative a rapido impatto già n el primo anno, per poi evidenziare una progressiva accelerazione nel corso del secondo anno, fino a raggiungere un pieno sviluppo su un orizzonte temporale di circa tre anni dall’Operazione, fermo restando che l’effettivo ritmo di conseguimento potrà risul tare influenzato da vari fattori, inclusa la complessità esecutiva delle iniziative sottostanti e il contesto di mercato di riferimento.
Nel Documento di Offerta è indicato che le sinergie di costo derivano principalmente da economie di scala e dalla razionalizzazione ed efficientamento delle principali voci di spesa operativa del Gruppo Poste combinato. A giudizio dell’Offerente, i benefic i sono riconducibili sia a interventi sui costi diretti, inclusi i costi commerciali e distributivi, sia a interventi sui costi indiretti, tra cui le spese per infrastrutture tecnologiche, funzioni centrali e servizi di supporto. In particolare, le princip ali fonti di sinergie di costo sono rappresentate da:
- razionalizzazione dei costi operativi e dei costi del personale attraverso la fusione del business telco di Poste Italiane con il business “Consumer ” di TIM;
- integrazione e ottimizzazione delle piattaforme IT e di Rete e delle operation , inclusi i servizi di customer operations (call center e back office ) mediante razionalizzazione delle infrastrutture, semplificazione applicativa, condivisione di asset e adozione di modelli operativi più efficienti;
- centralizzazione e ottimizzazione dei processi di procurement e acquisto beni e servizi, con conseguenti benefici in termini di scala, standardizzazione e maggiore potere negoziale;
- rifocalizzazione della rete fisica, attraverso l’ottimizzazione della presenza territoriale, la revisione dei modelli distributivi e una maggiore integrazione dei canali;
- ottimizzazione delle spese di marketing e comunicazione;
- efficientamento delle funzioni centrali e dei servizi di supporto, anche attraverso l’adozione progressiva di soluzioni tecnologiche avanzate e strumenti di automazione;
- opportunità negli ambiti di business di Poste (es. logistica, welfare , assicurativo, etc.) anche attraverso l’internalizzazione di una quota dei costi attualmente sostenuti da TIM verso fornitori terzi e l’evoluzione dei servizi offerti;
- ottimizzazione delle risorse immobiliari.
Nell’ambito delle sinergie di costo, secondo l’Offerente assume rilievo il contributo legato alla struttura del capitale e alle fonti di finanziamento. In particolare, tali sinergie attengono alla possibilità di beneficiare progressivamente, su base combin ata e alle condizioni attuali di mercato, di un costo del funding potenzialmente inferiore rispetto a quello dell’Emittente, anche grazie al profilo di merito creditizio di livello investment grade che l’Offerente intende mantenere a valle del perfezionamento dell’Offerta. Tale beneficio potrà derivare (a) da un accesso al mercato dei capitali più ampio e diversificato, coerente con la maggiore scala e solidità del nuovo Gruppo Poste, (b) da una mag giore resilienza nell’accesso a fonti di raccolta anche in fasi di volatilità o stress dei mercati, e (c) da una gestione più efficiente e integrata di indebitamento e liquidità dell’Emittente, con conseguenti efficienze sul costo del funding e un’ottimizzazione complessiva della struttura finanziaria anche mediante ricorso ad attività finanziaria intercompany messa a disposizione dall’Offerente.
L’Offerente precisa che le sinergie di costo sono attese emergere secondo un profilo temporale più anticipato rispetto a quelle di ricavo, beneficiando di una maggiore immediatezza di
44 implementazione delle iniziative di razionalizzazione e integrazione operativa. In particolare, è prevista la realizzazione di prime efficienze tattiche già nel primo anno successivo al perfezionamento dell’Offerta (quali, ad esempio, interventi sulla base acquisti), seguite da un progressivo incremento dei benefici fino alla piena realizzazione entro circa due anni dal perfezionamento dell’Operazione 5.
Secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, a valle del perfezionamento dell’Offerta, l’Offerente manterrà una solida struttura finanziaria, coerente con un profilo di merito creditizio di livello investment grade , nonché un livello di indebitamento ritenuto sostenibile e adeguato alle caratteristiche industriali ed ai flussi di cassa del nuovo Gruppo Poste. Le iniziative volte al raggiungimento delle sinergie di costo saranno implementate preservando la capillarit à dei servizi postali e della Pubblica Amministrazione sul territorio nazionale, riallocando le risorse liberate a seguito dell’integrazione verso ambiti a più elevato potenziale di sviluppo, e senza impatti sull’impiego di personale degli Uffici Postali, della rete postale e pacchi e dei servizi di telecomunicazione.
A giudizio dell’Offerente, l’Operazione favorisce inoltre un’accelerazione nell’utilizzo delle perdite fiscali pregresse riferibili a TIM attraverso il rafforzamento prospettico della base imponibile di TIM, per effetto delle sinergie industriali attese. S econdo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, alla data del 31 dicembre 2025, nella Relazione Finanziaria Annuale dell’Emittente non risultano iscritte attività per imposte anticipate riferibili alle perdite fiscali pregresse di TIM, per un importo complessivo st imato in circa Euro 954 milioni, né quelle relative all’agevolazione Aiuto alla Crescita Economica (ACE), per un importo stimato in circa Euro 82 milioni. Tale circostanza è riconducibile alle valutazioni effettuate in merito alla distribuzione temporale della recuperabi lità delle già menzionate perdite fiscali e dell’agevolazione ACE di TIM.
L’Offerente riti ene che la realizzazione dell’Operazione consenta – inter alia – di incidere positivamente sulle prospettive di recuperabilità di tali perdite fiscali e agevolazione ACE in funzione dell’incremento atteso della redditività imponibile di TIM per effetto delle sinergie industriali attese. Al riguardo l’Offerente precisa che alla Data del Documento di Offerta in assenza di informazioni di dettaglio, in considerazione dell’evoluzione dell’ Operazione stessa e della pluralità di scenari ancora aperti, non è possibile rappresentare stime attendibili e sufficientemente supportate circa l’eventuale iscrizione e quantificazione delle suddette attività per imposte .
Secondo l’Offerente, gli oneri una tantum necessari per il conseguimento delle sinergie sono attualmente stimati in circa Euro 0,7 miliardi ante imposte e si prevede saranno sostenuti prevalentemente negli esercizi 2026 e 2027, con imputazione a conto economico in tali periodi laddove non ricorra no i presupposti per la relativa capitalizzazione.
L’Offerente ritiene che, a lla luce di quanto sopra, si possa attende re un impatto positivo sul proprio utile per azione a partire dall’esercizio 2027; inoltre, la solidità finanziaria, l’elevata generazione di cassa e le ampie riserve patrimoniali distribuibili del nuovo gruppo garantiranno un impatto neutrale sul dividendo per azione di Poste Italiane a valere sull’utile 2026.
L’Offerente evidenzia che il pieno conseguimento delle sinergie attese, così come descritte nel presente Paragrafo, è subordinato al raggiungimento della Condizione Soglia. In particolare,
5 Come precisato dall’Offerente, a d eccezione delle sinergie di funding , la cui realizzazione avverrà con una tempistica coerente con il profilo di scadenze e rifinanziamento del debito dell’Emittente.
45 qualora, all’esito dell’Offerta, la Condizione Soglia non risulti raggiunta e l’Offerente decida di rinunciarvi - venendo a detenere, pertanto, una partecipazione inferiore al 66,67% del capitale sociale dell’Emittente - i programmi futuri e le iniziative industriali sarebbero necessariamente calibrati in funzione della partecipazione detenuta e della possibilità o meno di esercitare attività di direzione e coordinamento sull’Emittente. L’Offerente rappresenta che, in caso di mancato verificarsi della Condizione Soglia e di conseguente rinuncia ad essa da parte dell’Offerente, le sinergie realizzabili risulterebbero materialmente inferiori a quelle prospettate in quanto l’Emittente resterebbe una società quotata non integrata all’interno del Gruppo Poste; in tale scenario le sinergie realizzabili sarebbero prevalentemente limitate a iniziative di natura commerciale, tecnologica e operativa ( insourcing ), già comunicate al mercato da Poste Italiane in data 26 febbraio 2026 con riferimento a ricavi annui lordi addizionali per Euro 100 milioni a regime e da TIM in data 25 febbraio 2026 relativamente a un EBITDA After Lease annuo a regime di Euro 50 milioni. Al fine di addivenire a una piena realizzazione delle sinergie, l’Offerente si riserva di porre in essere , anche sulla base dei risultati dell’Offerta, le azioni più opportune per facilitare gli obiettivi di integrazione, creazione di valore e crescita (ivi incluse azioni e/o operazioni straordinarie da cui possa derivare il Delisting dell’Emittente ). Si segnala che, al riguardo, l’Offerente ha reso noto che il pien o conseguimento delle sinergie attese risulterà possibile subordinatamente al raggiungimento , da parte dell’Offerente , di una partecipazione nel capitale dell’Emittente pari o superiore al 66,67% (ovvero in caso di avveramento della Condizione Soglia) .
A giudizio dell’Offerente, l ’adesione all’Offerta consentirà agli azionisti dell’Emittente di detenere titoli azionari dell’Offerente e quindi partecipare alla creazione, e alla conseguente distribuzione, di valore derivante dalla realizzazione delle sinergie sopra descritte. A segui to del completamento dell’Offerta, i titoli azionari dell’Offerente beneficeranno di un flottante ampio e altamente liquido, pari a oltre Euro 20 miliardi, con una base azionaria di elevata qualità che include primari investitori istituzionali internazionali e italiani, affiancati da una diffusa e solida componente di investitori retail .
Si segnala che, nella Avvertenza A.7. del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente precisa di non avere elaborato alcun business plan ai fini dell’Operazione.
Secondo l’Offerente, i l gruppo risultante ad esito del perfezionamento dell’Offerta potrà beneficiare di una governance stabile, con la presenza dello Stato italiano quale azionista di maggioranza con una partecipazione di controllo (anche attraverso la partecipazione detenuta da Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A.), assicurando stabilità nel lungo periodo ed un chiaro mandat o strategico orientato alla creazione di valore per tutti gli stakeholders e per il Paese nel suo complesso. Tale assetto proprietario garanti rebbe, inoltre , un forte allineamento degli interessi, volto a sostenere una performance competitiva e rendimenti per gli azionisti sostenibili nel tempo.

5.2.2 Investimenti futuri e fonti di finanziamento Secondo quanto riportato nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.3. del Documento di Offerta, a lla Data del Documento di Offerta, il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente non ha assunto alcuna decisione in merito ad investimenti di particolare importanza e/o ulteriori rispetto a quelli generalmente richiesti per la gestione operativa delle att ività nel settore industriale in cui l’Emittente stesso opera.
5.2.3 Eventuali ristrutturazioni e/o riorganizzazioni Secondo quanto riportato nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.4. del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente intende procedere al Delisting , ossia alla revoca delle azioni dell’Emittente dalla quotazione su l mercato Euronext Milan, secondo i termini e le condizioni descritti nel Documento di Offerta.
Come indicato nel l’Avvertenza A.1. del Documento di Offerta, l’efficacia dell’Offerta è condizionata al verificarsi della Condizione Soglia, ossia il raggiungimento, all’esito dell’Offerta, da parte dell’Offerente, della titolarità di una partecipazione superiore al 66,67% del capitale sociale dell’Emittente, al fi ne di consentire all’Offerente di detenere la maggioranza assoluta nell’assemblea straordinaria degli azionisti dell’Emittente.
Come indicato nell’Avvertenza A.8 del Documento di Offerta è intenzione dell’Offerente mantenere l’Emittente quale entità giuridica e societaria distinta, al fine di preservare la continuità operativa e il valore dell’avviamento della stessa e delle societ à del Gruppo TIM nei rispettivi settori di attività, in coerenza con quanto indicato nel Comunicato dell’Offerente.
È stata, in ogni caso, ribadita dall’Offerente la facoltà dell’Offerente di valutare e, successivamente, porre in essere, nei termini e con le modalità ritenute più opportune, eventuali operazioni straordinarie e/o interventi di riorganizzazione societaria e aziendale, anche in ipotesi di mancato raggi ungimento di una partecipazione almeno pari al 66,67% del capitale dell’Emittente e di conseguente eventuale rinuncia alla Condizione Soglia, al fine di conseguire la struttura di gruppo considerata più idonea al raggiungimento degli obiettivi dell’Offerta .
Con riguardo a eventuali operazioni straordinarie e/o interventi di riorganizzazione societaria e aziendale, nel Documento d i Offerta l’Offerente precisa che, nel caso in cui non si verifichi la Condizione Soglia e l’Offerente decida di rinunciarvi, l’Offerente valuterà, anche sulla base dei risultati dell’Offerta, le azioni più opportune per facilitare gli obiettivi di integrazione, creazione di sinergie e crescita (ivi incluse azioni e/o operazioni da cui possa derivare il Delisting dell’Emittente) .
Indipendentemente dal Delisting di TIM, l’Offerente ha precisato di non esclude re di poter
47 valutare in futuro, a sua discrezione, la realizzazione di eventuali diverse operazioni straordinarie e/o riorganizzazioni societarie e di business che dovessero essere ritenute opportune, in linea con gli obiettivi e le motivazioni dell’Offerta, anche al fine di garantire l’integrazione delle attività di Poste e di TIM, contemperando gli interessi di tutti gli stakeholder coinvolti.
Alla Data del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente non ha ancora assunto alcuna decisione in merito a eventuali operazioni straordinarie di riorganizzazione del Gruppo Poste a seguito dell’aggregazione con il Gruppo TIM, in conseguenza del perfezionamento del l’Offerta.
5.2.4 Modifiche previste allo statuto dell’Emittente Secondo quanto riportato nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.6. del Documento di Offerta, alla Data del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente non ha individuato alcuna specifica modifica o variazione da apportare al testo vigente dello statuto sociale dell’Emittente, fatta eccezione per le modifiche che si rendessero necessarie a seguito dell’eventu ale Delisting delle Azioni dell’Emittente per adattarlo a quello di una società non quotata .
5.2.5 Modifiche previste nella composizione degli organi amministrativi e di controllo dell’Emittente Secondo quanto riportato nella Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.5. del Documento di Offerta, alla Data del Documento di Offerta, l’Offerente non è in grado di valutare un’eventuale futura modifica degli organi amministrativi e di controllo di TIM e delle società del Gruppo TIM, in quanto le uniche informazioni attualmente disponibili a Poste sono q uelle di dominio pubblico.
* * * Ai sensi dell’art. 103, comm a 3 del TUF e dell’art. 39 del Regolamento Emittenti, il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente è tenuto a diffondere il presente Comunicato dell’Emittente, contenente ogni dato utile per l’apprezzamento dell’Offerta, nonché la propria valutazione sull 'Offerta medesima (inclusa la valutazione della congruità o non congruità del Corrispettivo da un punto di vista finanziario ) in relazione alla quale si rinvia al Paragrafo 5.3.
che segue. Si sottopongono quindi all’attenzione degli Azionisti TIM alcune considerazioni ai fini della valutazione dell’Offerta.
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione , come da analisi svolte dagli Advisor Finanziari, ha considerato l'Offerta nell'ipotesi di successo dell'Operazione, ossia assumendo il raggiungimento della Condizione Soglia e, conseguentemente, lo scenario rappresentato dall’Offerente quale condizione cui è subordinato il pieno conseguimento del le sinergie attese rappresentate nel Documento di Offerta .
L'Offerente ha rappresentato un potenziale complessivo di sinergie ante imposte stimate a regime almeno pari a Euro 0,7 miliardi annui, articolate in :
(i) sinergie di ricavo superiori a Euro 0,2 miliardi annui, attese realizzarsi entro tre anni dal completamento dell'Offerta, riconducibili principalmente a lla complementarità delle basi clienti, all’ampliamento e valorizzazione dell’offerta commerciale e all’integrazione di prodotti e servizi a maggior valore aggiunto e, in particolare derivanti da: (a) offerte e soluzioni integrate per aziende (Large Cap e PMI) e per la Pubblica Amministrazione attraverso la combinazione di servizi finanziari, servizi welfare , telco e logistici ; (b) cross -
selling e up-selling su prodotti finanziari e assicurativi, sfruttando la complementarità dei canali distributivi; (c) convergenza dei servizi telco tra la base clienti TIM e PosteMobile, inclusa la rete fissa; e (d) creazione d i una customer data platform che sia leader in Italia attraverso la combinazione dei dati transazionali ( i.e.: pagamenti, investimenti, acquisti, logistica) con i dati comportamentali ( i.e.: navigazione, geolocalizzazione, utilizzo) ;
48 (ii) sinergie di costo pari a Euro 0,5 miliardi annui, attese realizzarsi entro due anni dal perfezionamento dell'Offerta, derivanti principalmente da economie di scala e dalla razionalizzazione ed efficientamento delle principali voci di spesa operativa del Gruppo Poste combinato, con benefici riconducibili a interventi sui costi diretti, inclusi i costi commerciali e distributivi, e a interventi su i costi indiretti, tra cui le spese per infrastrutture tecnologiche, funzioni centrali e servizi di supporto. In particolare, le principali fonti di sinergie di costo sarebbero rappresentate da: (a) la razionalizzazione dei costi operativi e dei costi del personale attraverso la fusione del business telco di Poste Italiane con il business “Consumer” di TIM; (b) l’integrazione e ottimizzazione delle piattaforme IT e di Rete e delle operation ; (c) la centralizzazione e l’ottimizzazione dei processi di procurement e di acquisto beni e servizi; (d) la rifocalizzazione della rete fisica ;
(e) l’ottimizzazione delle spese di marketing e comunicazione ; (f) l’efficientamento delle funzioni centrali e dei servizi di supporto ; (g) le opportunità offerte dal business di Poste (i.e. servizi di logistica, assicurativi); (h) l’ottimizzazione delle risorse immobiliari ; e (i) i benefici connessi alla struttura del capitale e alle fonti di finanziamento, con particolare riferimento al costo del funding.
Per completezza, si segnala che l’Offerente ha precisato, altresì, che, qualora all’esito dell’Offerta la Condizione Soglia non risult asse raggiunta e l'Offerente decid esse di rinunciarvi, (i) “i programmi futuri e le iniziative industriali sarebbero necessariamente calibrati in funzione della partecipazione detenuta e della possibilità o meno di Poste di esercitare attività di direzione e coordinamento sull'Emittente ” e (ii) “ le sinergie realizzabili risulterebbero materialmente inferiori a quelle prospettate e sarebbero prevalentemente limitate a iniziative di natura commerciale, tecnologica e operativa (insourcing), già comunicate al mercato da Poste Italiane in data 26 febbr aio 2026 con riferimento a ricavi annui lordi addizionali per Euro 100 milioni a regime e da TIM in data 25 febbraio 2026 relativamente a un EBITDA After Lease annuo a regime di Euro 50 milioni. " Per ulteriori informazioni circa i “Programmi relativi alla gestione delle attività” dell’Offerente, si rinvia a lla Sezione G, Paragrafo G.2.2. del Documento di Offerta .
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione, alla luce del quadro informativo allo stato disponibile e delle indicazioni fornite dal management anche con l’ausilio di Kearney , ritiene che le stime sulle sinergie indicate dall’Offerente appaiano ragionevoli nel loro complesso, fermo restando che le iniziative concrete finalizzate all’emersione delle stesse potranno meglio dispiegarsi nel tempo ed essere articolate anche in modo differente rispetto a quanto indicato dall’Offerente, tenuto anche conto del fatto che, nel Documento di Offerta, non è indicata la ripartizione specifica del peso di ciascuna delle iniziative commerciali e industriali ai fini dell’ottenimento delle sinergie. Si ribadisce che, secondo quanto dichiarato dal l’Offerente , il pien o conseguimento delle sinergie attese risulterà possibile subordinatamente al raggiungimento , da parte dell’Offerente , di una partecipazione nel capitale dell’Emittente pari o superiore al 66,67% (ossia, all’avveramento della Condizione Soglia) .
Razionale industriale dell’integrazione Poste –TIM L’Offerente ha riconosciuto nel Documento di Offerta che, nel corso degli anni , l’Emittente ha avviato e progressivamente implementato un percorso di rafforzamento del proprio profilo economico -finanziario, volto al miglioramento della redditività operativa, alla semplificazione dell’assetto industriale e alla riduzione dell’indebitamento, anche attraverso operazioni straordinarie e una più efficiente allocazione del capitale . Tale percorso ha contribuito ad una maggiore visibilità sui flussi di cassa operativi, a un rafforzamento della sostenibilità finanziaria e ad una più chiara focalizzazione sulle attività a maggiore valore aggiunto. Inoltre, secondo quanto indicato dall’Offerente, l’avvento dell’Intelligenza Artificiale rappresenta
49 un’ulteriore opportunità per accelerare l’ottimizzazione dell’assetto operativo dell’Emittente.
In tale contesto, secondo quanto indicato nel Documento di Offerta l’Offerente, che già detiene la Partecipazione Poste, e che pertanto conosce a fondo il profil o industriale, operativo e finanziario dell’Emittente, ha dichiarato che intende rappresentare un elemento di supporto, rafforzamento e accelerazione per il proseguimento di tale percorso, favorendo ulteriori opportunità di sviluppo, efficienza e valorizzazione delle iniziative industriali già avviate anche grazie al contributo che l’Offerente potrà apportare in considerazione del proprio ruolo di azienda sistemica per il Paese.
Alla luce di quanto precede, l’Offerente ha dichiarato che l’Offerta si inserisce in un contesto industriale e strategico coerente con gli obiettivi di lungo periodo dell’Offerente, rafforzandone ulteriormente il posizionamento competitivo e generando valore per tutti gli stakeholder .
Tenuto conto delle considerazioni formulate dall’Offerente, il Consiglio di Amministrazione rileva che l’integrazione tra TIM e Poste Italiane, sulla base delle informazioni rese disponibili dall’Offerente, risulterebbe coerente con il percorso industriale che TIM ha già intrapreso negli ultimi anni.
La trasformazione da operatore di telecomunicazioni a piattaforma di servizi digitali, lo sviluppo del cloud , della cybersecurity e dell’intelligenza artificiale, la centralità della sovranità digitale e la convinzione che il settore europeo sarebbe inevitabilmente andato verso il consolidamento erano già i pilastri del piano industriale di TIM, che appaiono coerenti con l’evoluzion e del mercato.
L’eventuale esito positivo dell’Offerta e l’integrazione dell’Emittente in Poste, secondo quanto rappresentato dall’ Offerente non modificherebbe il percorso intrapreso dall’Emittente ; anzi, potrebbe ridurne il rischio di esecuzione, accelerarne la realizzazione e ampliarne significativamente il potenziale. Dunque, l’Operazione consentirebbe un importante de-risking del piano industriale stand alone .
La strategia di TIM è fondata su presupposti industriali solidi, ma l’evoluzione del mercato e delle tecnologie ha accelerato il fabbisogno di investimenti rispetto alle ipotesi formulate quando il piano industriale di TIM è stato costruito. La diffusione dell’intelligenza artificiale, lo sviluppo dei data center , la crescente domanda di infrastrutture digitali sovrane, l’evoluzione del 5G Stand Alone e della cybersecurity stanno modificando profondamente la scala degli investimenti necessari per competere.
In questo contesto, l’integrazione con Poste potrebbe consentire di accelerare l’esecuzione del piano, senza compromettere l’equilibrio finanziario del gruppo integrato e offrirebbe la possibilità di cogliere opportunità che, in uno scenario stand alone , avrebbero probabilmente richiesto una più rigorosa selezione delle priorità o un rinvio nel tempo.
La maggiore capacità finanziaria del gruppo integrato non rappresenterebbe semplicemente una disponibilità di capitale aggiuntivo, ma una maggiore libertà strategica. Consentirebbe, infatti, di anticipare gli investimenti nelle infrastrutture digitali stra tegiche, sostenere contemporaneamente più direttrici di crescita e cogliere con maggiore tempestività le opportunità offerte dall’evoluzione tecnologica, senza essere costretti a scegliere tra iniziative alternative.
L’operazione amplierebbe inoltre il ventaglio delle opzioni strategiche. In uno scenario stand alone molte opportunità sarebbero state perseguibili da TIM solo in modo graduale o selettivo, in funzione della capacità di allocare il capitale disponibile. Con Poste, TIM potrebbe invece verosimilmente accelerare lo sviluppo dell’AI, del cloud sovrano, dei data center e dei servizi
50 digitali ad alto valore aggiunto, rafforzando al contempo il proprio ruolo quale infrastruttura strategica del Paese per la sovranità digitale. La combinazione tra le competenze tecnologiche di TIM e la customer base , i sistemi di pagamento, i servizi finanziari e il canale distributivo di Poste consentirebbe, inoltre, di accelerare la costruzione di una vera customer platform italiana, aumentando la capacità di sviluppare nuovi servizi e di valorizzare la relazione con il cliente.
Infine, il gruppo risultante dal l’integrazione con Poste avrebbe un miglior posizionamento competitivo. Il consolidamento europeo rappresenta ormai una tendenza strutturale e la dimensione, la capacità di investimento e la generazione di cassa stanno diventando fattori determinanti per competere. La solidità finanziaria del gruppo integrato potrebbe consentire a TIM di affrontare questa evoluzione da una posizione di forza, partecipando attivamente ai futuri processi di consolidamento anziché limitarsi a subirli.
Una maggiore capacità finanziaria rafforzerebbe la resilienza di TIM e le consentirebbe di affrontare con maggiore flessibilità eventuali cambiamenti del mercato, del contesto competitivo o del paradigma tecnologico, sostenendo, sia la crescita organica, s ia possibili opportunità di acquisizione. Maggiori risorse, infatti, consent ono una più ampia scelta di iniziative per la creazione di valore e di non limitarsi a reagire agli eventi.
In sintesi, l’operazione non modificherebbe il percorso intrapreso da TIM, ma ne potrebbe migliorare profondamente il profilo rischio -rendimento. In particolare, potrebbe ridurre il rischio di esecuzione del piano industriale, accelerarne l’attuazione e mettere il Gruppo TIM nelle condizioni di cogliere opportunità industri ali e strategiche che, nello scenario stand alone sarebbero state più difficili da finanziare, anticipare o realizzare. Proprio questa combinazione di de-risking e ampliamento delle opzioni strategiche rappresenterebbe il principale razionale industriale dell’integrazione con Poste.
In ragione di quanto precede, il Consiglio di Amministrazione considera positivamente le prospettive industriali dell'Operazione e la ritiene nell'interesse della Società e dei suoi stakeholder, in quanto, in caso di completamento della stessa, appare idonea a deter minare effetti positivi sugli interessi dell'Emittente e la creazione di valore per il gruppo integrato.
5.3. Valutazioni del Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Emittente in merito alla congruità del Corrispettivo da un punto di vista finanziario 5.3.1 Principali informazioni sul Corrispettivo contenute nel Documento di Offerta La Comunicazione dell’Offerente prevedeva che, fatto salvo quanto segue, per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta, Poste avrebbe offerto un corrispettivo complessivo unitario rappresentato dalle seguenti componenti: una comp onente in denaro pari a Euro 0,167 e una componente in titoli pari a n. 0,0218 azioni ordinarie dell’Offerente di nuova emissione.
Per effetto del Raggruppamento TIM, divenuto efficace a far data dal 15 giugno 2026, il corrispettivo dell’Offerta, come annunciato nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente è stato rettificato per tenere conto di tale operazione societaria, pur rimanendo immutat a la sostanza economica dell’Offerta medesima.
Dunque, c ome precisato nella Sezione E del Documento di Offerta, p er ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta, Poste offrirà il Corrispettivo , rappresentato dalle seguenti componenti:
- la Componente in Denaro pari a Euro 1,67, e
51 - la Componente in Azioni pari a n. 0,218 Azioni Poste di nuova emissione.
Pertanto, a titolo meramente esemplificativo, per ogni n . 500 Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione all’Offerta saranno corrisposte n. 109 Azioni Poste di nuova emissione ed Euro 835,00.
Per informazioni in merito al trattamento delle frazioni di Azioni Poste risultanti dall’applicazione del Rapporto di Scambio si veda quanto indicato al precedente paragrafo 1.3 del presente Comunicato 103 e la Sezione F, Paragrafo F.5. del Documento di Offerta.
Il Corrispettivo verrà corrisposto alla Data di Pagamento, ossia il giorno 18 settembre 2026 (salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile), o, con riferimento alle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta portate in adesione durante l’eventuale Riapertura dei Termini, alla Data di Pagamento della Riapertura dei Termini (salvo proroghe del Periodo di Adesione in conformità alla normativa applicabile), ossia il giorno 2 ottobre 2026 .
Il Corrispettivo si intende al netto di bolli, spese, compensi e provvigioni, che rimarranno a carico dell’Offerente, mentre l’imposta sulle plusvalenze, ove dovuta, resterà a carico degli Aderenti.
Tenuto conto che , come indicato nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente, l’assemblea dei soci di Poste ha approvato la distribuzione del S aldo Dividendo Poste per l’esercizio 2025 pari a Euro 0,85 per ciascuna azione di Poste in circolazione, il Corrispettivo è da intendersi ex Saldo Dividendo Poste, ed è stato pertanto determinato sul presupposto che, prima della Data di Pagamento, l’Offerente dia corso – circostanza che si è infatti verificata – alla distribuzione di detto Saldo Dividendo Poste senza che la Componente in Azioni del corrispettivo venga rivista. Poste ha effettuato il pagamento del Saldo Dividendo Poste in data 24 giugno 2026.
Come indicato nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente, ai fini del Corrispettivo e dell’Esborso Massimo dell’Offerta, l’Offerente terrà conto dell’eventuale Acquisto di Azioni Proprie TIM e dell’eventuale Annullamento Azioni Proprie TIM ove tali operazioni dovessero perfezionarsi prima della Data di Pagamento.
In ogni caso, qualora, prima della Data di Pagamento, l’Emittente e/o l’Offerente dovessero pagare un dividendo ai propri azionisti (diverso dal Saldo Dividendo Poste), o comunque fosse staccata dalle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta e/o dalle azioni dell’Offer ente, a seconda dei casi, la cedola relativa a dividendi deliberati ma non ancora pagati e/o, ferme restando le Condizioni di Efficacia dell’Offerta (e comunque nel caso in cui l’Offerente rinunciasse ad avvalersi di una di tali Condizioni di Efficacia, ov e applicabili), l’Emittente dovesse approvare o dare corso a qualsiasi operazione sul proprio capitale sociale e/o sulle azioni dell’Emittente (diverse dall’Acquisto di Azioni Proprie TIM, dall’Annullamento Azioni Proprie TIM e dal Raggruppamento TIM), l’Offerente ne terrà conto ai fini dell’aggiustamento del Corrispettivo e/o dell’Esborso Massimo dell’Offerta.
L’eventuale aggiustamento del Corrispettivo per effetto di quanto precede sarà reso noto con le modalità e nei tempi prescritti dalla normativa applicabile.
Il Corrispettivo (ante Raggruppamento TIM) è stato determinato dal Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente, in data 22 marzo 2026, sulla base di proprie analisi e considerazioni, svolte con la consulenza ed il supporto di J.P. Morgan Securities plc (“ J.P.
Morgan”) e BNP P. Inoltre, l’ advisor finanziario BNP P ha predisposto una fairness opinion all’attenzione esclusivamente del Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente, confermando la congruità, da un punto di vista strettamente finanziario, del Corrispettivo per Poste, secondo i termini e le condizioni ivi previsti. Nella Sezione E del Documento di Offerta si
52 precisa, inoltre, che il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente ha definito ed approvato il Corrispettivo unitario ante Raggruppamento TIM come riportato nella Comunicazione dell’Offerente (e successivamente aggiornato per effetto del Raggruppamento TIM) in base ai seguenti elementi: (i) le proprie analisi valutative, come meglio descritte ne lla Sezione E del Documento di Offerta , anche tenuto conto del supporto fornito indipendentemente da J.P.
Morgan e BNP P, (ii) le prospettive economiche a livello stand alone dell’Offerente e dell’Emittente, (iii) il razionale strategico ed industriale che l’Operazione rappresenta per l’Offerente e l’Emittente, (iv) le sinergie potenzialmente realizzabili a seguito del perfezionamento dell’Offerta, (v) i rischi di esecuzione connessi alla realizzazione della combinazione industriale e (vi) il contesto politico, macroeconomico e di mercato alla Data di Riferimento.
Il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente per quanto riguarda le proprie analisi valutative ha individuato, anche sulla base delle considerazioni effettuate indipendentemente da J.P. Morgan e BNP P, le seguenti metodologie: (i) il metodo dei multipli di mercato, (ii) la metodologia dei prezzi target evidenziati dagli analisti di ricerca, e (iii) come riferimento secondario, i concambi teorici dei prezzi di mercato correnti e dei prezzi ponderati per i volumi scambiati.
L’Offerente precisa altresì che ad ulteriore supporto del processo valutativo del Consiglio di Amministrazione di Poste, anche Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc (“ MS”) in qualità di consulente finanziario fornitore di un parere di congruità ha rilasciato una propria fairness opinion , attestando, da un punto di vista strettamente finanziario e secondo i termini e le condizioni ivi previsti, la congruità del Corrispettivo.
Ai fini dell’Offerta, in considerazione della natura del Corrispettivo, rappresentato da (i) una Componente in Azioni avente ad oggetto azioni ordinarie dell’Offerente di nuova emissione, offerte in scambio a fronte di azioni ordinarie dell’Emittente porta te in adesione all’Offerta e da (ii) una Componente in Denaro, le analisi valutative per la determinazione del Rapporto di Scambio contenute nel Documento di Offerta sono state effettuate dall’Offerente in ottica prettamente comparativa, privilegiando il principio di confrontabilità delle metodologie di valutazione applicate, sulla base dei dati e delle informazioni pubblicamente disponibili. Le considerazioni e le stime effettuate , come indicato nel Documento di Offerta, vanno dunque intese in termini relativi e con riferimento limitato all’Offerta.
Secondo quanto indicato nel Documento di Offerta, l e metodologie di valutazione e i conseguenti valori economici delle azioni di TIM e di Poste sono stati individuati allo scopo di determinare (i) il Corrispettivo unitario dell’offerta, (ii) il numero di azioni di Poste da emettere al servizio dell’Offerta e (iii) l’Esborso Massimo della componente in Denaro, sulla base dell’esito della stessa. In nessun caso tali valutazioni sono da considerarsi quali possibili indicazioni del prezzo di mercato o di valore, attuale o prospettico, in un contesto diverso da quello in esame.
Le valutazioni condotte dell’Offerente sono riferite alle condizioni economiche e di mercato alla Data di Riferimento (ossia alla data del 20 marzo 2026, corrispondente al Giorno di Borsa Aperta antecedente la Data di Annuncio) e alla situazione economico -patrimoniale e finanziaria dell’Offerente e dell’Emittente come riportate nei resoconti preliminari dell’esercizio 2025, nella relazione finanziaria semestrale al 30 giugno 2025, nelle precedenti relazioni finanziarie rese disponibili da TIM presso il prop rio sito nella sezione “Investitori” e nei relativi comunicati stampa e presentazioni dei risultati alla comunità finanziaria. In aggiunta, sono state tenute in considerazione le comunicazioni al mercato riguardanti gli altri eventi societari recenti pubbl icate da TIM e dalle sue controllate (incluso l’annuncio della
53 cessione di Sparkle, dell’acquisto della partecipazione di controllo in I -Systems Soluções de Infraestrutura S.A. e gli sviluppi del procedimento per la restituzione del canone concessorio del 1998 , che in data 11 giugno 2026 è stato rimborsato a ll’Emittente per un importo di poco superiore a Euro 1 miliardo, come annunciato dall’Emittente in pari data con apposito comunicato stampa ).
In particolare, il Consiglio di Amministrazione dell’Offerente, ai fini della determinazione del Corrispettivo, ha ritenuto di utilizzare i seguenti metodi per la valutazione di Poste e
dell’Emittente :
- per Poste:
a. il metodo dei multipli di mercato nella variante del prezzo di borsa di società comparabili quotate sui relativi risultati economici attuali e prospettici; e b. la metodologia dei prezzi target evidenziati dagli analisti di ricerca ; e
- per TIM:
a. il metodo dei multipli di mercato nelle varianti dell’Enterprise Value (EV) su EBITDA e su OpFCF attuali e prospettici; e b. la metodologia dei prezzi target evidenziati dagli analisti di ricerca.
Come riferimento secondario, si sono anche osservati i concambi teorici de i prezzi di mercato correnti e dei prezzi ponderat i per i volumi scambiati.
L’Offerente ha precisato che l a scelta delle metodologie ed i risultati delle analisi valutative svolte da Poste alla Data di Riferimento ai fini della determinazione del Corrispettivo dell’Offerta (composto dal Rapporto di Scambio e dalla Componente in Denaro), devono essere letti all a luce delle seguenti principali limitazioni e difficoltà:
(i) l’Offerente ha utilizzato ai fini delle sue analisi esclusivamente dati e informazioni di
natura pubblica;
(ii) l’Offerente non ha effettuato su TIM alcuna attività di due diligence finanziaria, legale, commerciale, fiscale, industriale o di qualsivoglia natura;
(iii) alla Data di Riferimento non è pubblicamente disponibile un piano industriale aggiornato né di TIM né di Poste. Di conseguenza, ove rilevante ai fini dell’applicazione dei metodi di valutazione, le proiezioni relative all’andamento economico futuro utilizz ate per TIM e Poste sono state desunte sulla base di informazioni pubbliche e delle stime fornite dagli analisti di ricerca come fornito dall’ info provider FactSet alla Data di Riferimento ;
(iv) le analisi condotte riflettono le peculiarità delle metodologie valutative, la cui affidabilità è limitata da una serie di fattori intrinseci alle stesse; e (v) le valutazioni delle due società non possono essere considerate indipendenti , data la Partecipazione Poste detenuta dall’Offerente alla Data di Riferimento.
Si riporta di seguito una descrizione sintetica di ciascuna delle metodologie utilizzate ai fini della determinazione del Corrispettivo , contenuta nel la Sezione E, Paragrafo E.1, del Documento di Offerta :
a. Metodo dei multipli di mercato : secondo il metodo dei multipli di mercato, il valore di un’impresa si determina assumendo a riferimento le indicazioni fornite dal mercato borsistico con riguardo a imprese aventi caratteristiche assimilabili a quella oggetto di valutazione, o a
54 ciascuna divisione della stessa.
Il criterio si basa sulla determinazione di multipli calcolati come il rapporto tra valori borsistici e grandezze economiche, patrimoniali e finanziarie di un campione selezionato di società comparabili alla società oggetto di valutazione, o a ciascuna delle sue divisioni. I moltiplicatori così determinati vengono applicati, con le opportune integrazioni e aggiustamenti, alle corrispondenti grandezze della società oggetto di valutazione, al fine di stimarne un intervallo di valori.
Il grado di affidabilità di valutazione del metodo dei multipli di mercato dipende da un appropriato adattamento del metodo stesso alla specifica valutazione in oggetto. In tal senso, particolarmente rilevante risulta essere l’affinità, da un punto di vista operativo e finanziario, tra le società incluse nel campione di riferimento e quelle oggetto di valutazione. La significatività dei risultati è, infatti, dipendente dalla confrontabilità del campione. I titoli delle società prescelte devono inoltre presentare un buon grado di liquidità e non riguardare società i cui corsi potrebbero essere influenzati da particolari situazioni contingenti.
I multipli di mercato sono stati calcolati, sia per Poste che per TIM, per il triennio 2025, 2026 e 2027 in quanto i multipli per gli anni successivi al 2027 sono stati ritenuti scarsamente significativi, considerando la minore attendibilità e maggiore variabilità che generalmente caratterizzano le stime di consensus per gli anni prospettici più lontani nel tempo.
b. Metodo dei prezzi target evidenziati dagli analisti di ricerca : il metodo dei prezzi target determina il valore di una società sulla base dei prezzi obiettivo che gli analisti finanziari pubblicano sulla società stessa. I prezzi target sono indicazioni di valore che esprimono un’ipotesi sul prezzo che può raggiungere un’azione sul mercato borsistico e sono derivati da molteplici metodologie valutative usate a discrezione del singolo analista di ricerca.
L’Offerente precisa inoltre che a i fini dell’applicazione della metodologia dei prezzi target, sono stati utilizzati i prezzi obiettivo delle azioni ordinarie dell’Offerente e dell’Emittente così come indicati dagli analisti di ricerca che seguono le società, così come disponibili sul sito di Poste e di TIM alla Data di Riferimento, ove pubblicati successivamente alla diffusione dei risultati preliminari al 31 dicembre 2025 dell’Offerente e dell’Emittente (comunicati, rispettivamente, in data 26 febbraio 2026 ed in data 24 febbraio 2026).
Sempre secondo quanto rappresentato dall’Offerente nella Sezione E, Paragrafo E.1, del Documento di Offerta, a i fini dell’Offerta e sulla base delle caratteristiche proprie del settore di riferimento e della prassi di mercato sono stati selezionati, per l’Emittente, i multipli:
- EV / EBITDA che rappresenta il rapporto tra: (a) l’Enterprise Value (EV), calcolato come la somma algebrica tra la capitalizzazione di borsa, la posizione finanziaria netta riflettendo l’applicazione del principio contabile IFRS16, i fondi a beneficio dei dipendenti, il patrimonio netto di terzi valutato al valore di mercato, le partecipazioni in società collegate valutate secondo il metodo del patrimonio netto; (b) l’EBITDA (riflettendo l’applicazione del principio
contabile IFRS16);
- EV / OpFCF che rappresenta il rapporto tra (a) l’Enterprise Value (EV) (b) l’OpFCF, calcolato come l’EBITDA al netto degli investimenti di periodo (capex).
Con riferimento ai moltiplicatori analizzati, l’Offerente precisa per completezza che: (i) seppur gli indicatori sono stati calcolati sia su risultati attuali (2025) che prospettici (2026, 2027), gli indicatori economici prospettici (2026 e 2027, nel caso specifico), e non quelli storici, rappresentano il parametro fondamentale e di riferimento comunemente utilizzato nella prassi valutativa per le società operanti nel settore delle telecomunicazioni, e (ii) il moltiplicatore
55 prezzo / utili – comunemente utilizzato nella prassi valutativa delle istituzioni finanziarie – non è stato rappresentato e considerato ai fini valutativi in quanto non significativo in ragione del settore di appartenenza, del modello di business e del profilo economico e finanziario dell’Emittente.
Per una descrizione di ciascuna società appartenente al campione di riferimento e per maggiori informazioni circa la determinazione del Corrispettivo si rinvia alla Sezione E, Paragrafo E.1, del Documento di Offerta.
Come illustrato nella Sezione E, Paragrafo E. 4. del Documento di Offerta, il Corrispettivo incorpora un premio pari al 9,01% rispetto al prezzo ufficiale per Azione dell’Emittente rilevato alla Data di Riferimento, pari a Euro 0,583 ante Raggruppamento TIM .
Nella tabella che segue è riportato il confronto tra (i) il Valore Monetario Unitario di Mercato del Corrispettivo offerto (con arrotondamento alla terza cifra decimale), calcolato tenuto conto del Rapporto di Scambio, del prezzo ufficiale delle azioni ord inarie Poste alla Data di Riferimento e delle medie ponderate per i volumi dei prezzi ufficiali delle azioni di Poste relative a 1, 3 e 6 mesi e a 1 anno precedenti la Data di Riferimento (inclusa), (ii) il prezzo ufficiale delle Azioni ordinarie di TIM registrato alla Data di Riferimento, le medie ponderate per i volumi dei prezzi ufficiali delle Azioni ordinarie TIM relative a 1, 3 e 6 mesi e a 1 anno precedenti la Data di Riferimento (inclusa) nonché i relativi premi impliciti.

Con riferimento ai moltiplicatori analizzati, l’Offerente ha precisa to, per completezza, che: (i) in relazione ai moltiplicatori Enterprise Value / EBITDA e Enterprise Value / OpFcF (EBITDA – Investimenti), gli indicatori economici prospettici (2026 e 2027 nel caso specifico), e non quelli storici, rappresentano il parametro fondamentale e di riferimento comunemente utilizzato nella prassi valutativa per le società operanti nel setto re delle telecomunicazioni, e (ii) il moltiplicatore di Prezzo / Utili e Prezzo / Valore di Libro – comunemente utilizzato nella prassi valutativa delle istituzioni finanziarie – nonché il moltiplicatore Prezzo / Flusso di Cassa, non sono stati considerati ai fini valutativi in quanto non significativi in ragione del settore di appartenenza, del modello di business e del profilo economico e finanziario dell’Emittente, come già descritto e di seguito specificato:
59 • il Prezzo / Utili poiché il risultato netto degli operatori di telecomunicazioni è generalmente influenzato da componenti non operative che ne riducono la comparabilità; la prassi di settore privilegia multipli a livello di Enterprise Value;
• il Prezzo / Valore di Libro in quanto per gli operatori di telecomunicazioni il valore contabile del patrimonio netto non riflette adeguatamente la capacità di generare reddito e flussi di cassa;
• il Prezzo / Flusso di Cassa in quanto il flusso di cassa maggiormente significativo per il settore è quello operativo al netto degli investimenti, già catturato dal moltiplicatore EV/OpFcF.
I prezzi utilizzati ai fini del calcolo dei multipli si riferiscono ai prezzi di mercato registrati alla Data di Riferimento, ossia nella seduta del 20 marzo 2026 corrispondente al Giorno di Borsa Aperta antecedente la Data di Annuncio.

La Fairness Opinion di Evercore conclude che, alla data del presente Comunicato dell’Emittente e sulla base delle, e soggetta alle, assunzioni, qualificazioni e limitazioni ivi indicate, “ il Corrispettivo offerto ai titolari delle Azioni (diversi dall’Offerente e dalle società del gruppo cui l’Offerente appartiene) ai sensi dei Documenti di Offerta sia congruo (fair), da un punto di vista finanziario, per tali titolari ”.
Ferme le assunzioni, qualificazioni e limitazioni contenute nella Fairness Opinion di Evercore (da ritenersi qui integralmente riprodotte), Evercore ha preliminarmente precisato quanto segue (per i termini definiti si rinvia al testo integrale della Fairness Opinion di Evercore sub
Allegato A):
“Ai fini della nostra analisi e del nostro parere, con il vostro consenso e senza effettuare alcuna verifica indipendente, abbiamo fatto affidamento sulla, e assunto la, veridicità e completezza di tutte le informazioni finanziarie, legali, regolamentari, f iscali, contabili e di altro tipo pubblicamente disponibili, forniteci o altrimenti messe a nostra disposizione, con noi discusse o da noi esaminate, e non ci assumiamo alcuna responsabilità od obbligazione al riguardo.
Per quanto riguarda le Proiezioni della Società, le Proiezioni dell’Offerente e le Proiezioni del Gruppo Combinato, incluse le Sinergie e i costi di integrazione di cui sopra, abbiamo assunto, con il vostro consenso, che siano state predisposte in modo rag ionevole sulla base delle migliori stime attualmente disponibili e delle valutazioni formulate in buona fede da parte del management della Società in merito ai futuri risultati finanziari della Società, dell’Offerente e del Gruppo Combinato, e non esprimia mo alcun giudizio in merito a tali Proiezioni della Società, Proiezioni dell’Offerente e Proiezioni del Gruppo Combinato, incluse le Sinergie e i costi di integrazione né in merito ai criteri e ai presupposti sui quali
62 esse si fondano.
Abbiamo inoltre assunto che l’Offerta si perfezionerà secondo i termini stabiliti nei Documenti di Offerta, senza alcuna rinuncia, modifica o ritardo di alcun termine o condizione rilevante ai fini della nostra analisi, e che tutte le autorizzazioni, appro vazioni o nulla osta di natura governativa, regolamentare o di altra natura necessari per il perfezionamento dell’Offerta saranno ottenuti senza alcun rilevante ritardo, limitazione, restrizione o condizione che possa avere un effetto negativo sulla Società, sull’Offerente, sul perfezionamento dell’Offerta o sui benefici attesi per i titolari delle Azioni.
Abbiamo inoltre assunto che (i) il Comunicato dell’Emittente, nella versione che sarà pubblicata dalla Società, non differirà dalla bozza di Comunicato d ell’Emittente approvata dal Consiglio di Amministrazione della Società alla data del presente documento, e (ii) il Documento di Offerta, nella versione che sarà pubblicata dall’Offerente, non differirà dal Documento di Offerta approvato dalla Commissione N azionale per le Società e la Borsa il 15 luglio 2026, in entrambi i casi, in alcun modo significativo ai fini della nostra analisi.
Non abbiamo effettuato né assunto alcuna responsabilità in merito alla realizzazione di valutazioni o stime indipendenti relative alle attività o alle passività (incluse eventuali attività e passività contingenti, derivate o fuori bilancio) della Società, dell’Offerente o delle loro rispettive controllate, né ci è stata fornita alcuna valutazione o stima al riguardo. Non abbiamo valutato la solvibilità o il fair value della Società o dell’Offerente ai sensi di qualsivoglia normativa applicabile in materia di fallimento, insolvenza o materie analoghe. Il nostro parere si basa necessariamente sulle informazioni messe a nostra disposizione alla data odierna, nonché sulle condizioni finanziarie, economiche, di mercato e di altro genere esistenti e suscettibili di valutazione alla data odierna. Resta inteso che circostanze, sviluppi o eventi futuri potrebbero avere un impatto sul presente parere e che non assumiamo alcun obb ligo di aggiornamento, revisione o conferma del medesimo.
[…] La presente lettera, così come il nostro parere, non costituisce una raccomandazione al Consiglio di Amministrazione né a qualsiasi altra persona in merito all’Offerta, ivi compresa in merito all’opportunità o meno per i titolari delle Azioni di portare in adesione tali Azioni all’Offerta, né alle modalità con le quali i titolari delle Azioni dovrebbero votare o agire in relazione all’Offerta o a qualsiasi altra questione.
La presente lettera, unitamente al parere in essa espresso, è resa al Consiglio di Amministrazione, a titolo informativo e a beneficio del medesimo, in relazione alla valutazione dell’Offerta da parte del Consiglio di Amministrazione e ai fini del Comunica to dell’Emittent e.” Ciò premesso , e nel rinviare alla Fairness Opinion di Evercore (allegata al presente Comunicato dell’Emittente sub Allegato A) per ogni ulteriore dettaglio, Evercore ha condotto alcune analisi finanziarie di seguito riassunte, volte a individuare intervalli di valore implicito del Corrispettivo (per i termini definiti si rinvia al testo integrale della Fairness Opinion di Evercore sub Allegato A):
“Criterio “Has / Gets”. Ai fini delle nostre analisi, abbiamo confrontato (i) il valore implicito di un’Azione di TIM su base stand -alone (il “Has”) con (ii) il valore implicito del Corrispettivo che i titolari delle Azioni riceveranno per ciascuna Azione di TIM, costituito dal C orrispettivo in Denaro e dal valore del Corrispettivo in Azioni, determinato su base pro forma a seguito del perfezionamento dell’Offerta (il “Gets ”). L’analisi si fonda su due principali metodologie di valutazione, entrambe descritte di seguito: (i) una metodologia di valutazione intrinseca, basata sull’analisi del Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) e del Dividend Discount Model (DDM), e (ii) una metodologi a di valutazione relativa, basata sull’analisi delle società quotate comparabili e sulla somma delle parti (sum -of-the-
parts).
63 Valutazione intrinseca / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) – Dividend Discount Model (DDM).
Abbiamo svolto (i) un’analisi del discounted cash flow della Società su base stand -alone, sulla base dei flussi di cassa di TIM S.A. (“TIM Brasil”) relativi alla partecipazione detenuta dal gruppo TIM in TIM Brasil, nonché del gruppo TIM al netto di TIM Brasil (“TIM Domestic”), e (ii) un’analisi bas ata sul dividend discount model del Gruppo Combinato, tenendo conto delle Sinergie, dei costi di integrazione e delle altre rettifiche pro forma riflesse nelle Proiezioni del Gruppo Combinato.
Nello svolgimento dell’analisi del Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) della Società, abbiamo utilizzato le Proiezioni della Società e calcolato il terminal value applicando una metodologia di crescita perpetua ai flussi di cassa dell’anno finale. Abbiamo applicato un intervallo del costo medio ponderato del capitale (WACC) compreso tra 8,5% – 9,5% e un intervallo del tasso di crescita perpetua compreso tra 2,25% – 2,75%, selezionati tenendo conto del contributo relativo di TIM Domestic e TIM Brasil ai flussi di cassa prospettici, del costo del capitale stimato per ciascuna business unit rilevante, dei relativi dati di mercato e dei broker benchmark pubblicamente disponibili.
Nello svolgimento dell’analisi del Dividend Discount Model (DDM) del Gruppo Combinato, abbiamo utilizzato le Proiezioni del Gruppo Combinato, incluse le Sinergie, i costi di integrazione e le altre rettifiche pro forma ivi riflesse, nonché il terminal valu e. Abbiamo applicato un intervallo del costo del capitale proprio (cost of equity) compreso tra 9,5% – 10,5% e un intervallo del tasso di crescita perpetua compreso tra 1,5% – 2,0%, selezionati tenendo conto del profilo di rischio pro forma del Gruppo Combi nato, del contributo ponderato delle business unit rilevanti, dei relativi dati di mercato e dei broker benchmark pubblicamente disponibili.
Valutazione relativa / Analisi delle società quotate comparabili e somma delle parti (sum -of-
the-parts). Abbiamo svolto (i) una valutazione relativa della Società su base stand -alone, sulla base dei multipli di mercato Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL) e Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) di un campione selezionato di società quotate (l’“Has”), nonché (ii) una valutazione secondo il metodo della somma delle parti (sum -of-the-parts) del Gruppo Combinato, mediante la valorizzazione delle business unit dell’Offerente relative a Servizi Finanziari, Servizi Assicurativi, Servizi PostePay, Corrispondenza, Pacchi e Distribuzione, nonché delle business unit di TIM e delle Sinergie (il “Gets”).
Nello svolgimento dell’analisi delle società quotate comparabili relativa alla Società, abbiamo esaminato un campione selezionato di società di telecomunicazioni quotate e selezionato determinati intervalli sulla base dei multipli di mercato osservati e de i relativi parametri finanziari di TIM Domestic e TIM Brasil.
In particolare, abbiamo applicato (i) un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL) pari a 6,5x per TIM Domestic, con una variazione di più o meno 0,5x, e un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/ EBITDAaL) in un range compreso tra 4,2x – 4,8x per TIM Brasil; e (ii) un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) pari a 12,5x per TIM Domestic , con una variazione di più o meno 0,5x, e un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) in un range compreso tra 6,8x – 8,7x per TIM Brasil.
Nello svolgimento dell’analisi della somma delle parti (sum -of-the-parts) relativa al Gruppo Combinato, abbiamo valutato le business unit Servizi Finanziari e Servizi Assicurativi utilizzando multipli 2026E Price / Earnings (P/E) pari a 12,5x – 14,0x e 12,5x – 13,5x, rispettivamente, e abbiamo valutato le business unit Servizi PostePay, Corrispondenza, Pacchi e Distribuzione utilizzando multipli 2026E Enterprise Value / EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) pari a 6,5x – 7,5x e 5,0x – 6,0x, rispettivamente. Le attività di TIM sono state valutate coerentemente con l’analisi delle società q uotate comparabili relativa alla Società su base stand -alone, mentre le Sinergie sono state valutate sulla base del Net Present Value (NPV) utilizzando un intervallo del costo del capitale proprio del Gruppo Combinato compreso tra il 9,5% e il 10,5%. Gli i ntervalli selezionati riflettevano le caratteristiche finanziarie, il profilo di crescita
64 e i multipli di mercato delle società di riferimento selezionate.
Sintesi dei risultati.
Sulla base delle assunzioni approvate dalla Società per il nostro utilizzo, la Valutazione intrinseca / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) – Dividend Discount Model (DDM) ha determinato un valore stand -
alone per Azione della Società pari a €5,4 – €7,6 e un valore del Corrispettivo pari a €7,3 – €8,4.
Sulla base delle assunzioni approvate dalla Società per il nostro utilizzo, la Valutazione relativa / Analisi delle società quotate comparabili e somma delle parti (sum -of-the-parts) ha determinato un valore stand -
alone per Azione della Società pari a €4,7 – €6,5 e un valore del Corrispettivo pari a €6,7 – €7,8.
I risultati sopra esposti sono ulteriormente supportati dal valore implicito del Corrispettivo per i titolari delle Azioni, calcolato sulla base del prezzo di negoziazione delle Azioni Poste alla data del 16 luglio 2026, rispetto sia al valore implicito st and-alone per Azione sia al prezzo di negoziazione delle Azioni il giorno precedente l’annuncio dell’Offerta.
[…] Sulla base di quanto precede e fermo restando quanto ivi previsto, incluse le limitazioni e le riserve indicate nel presente parere, riteniamo che, alla data odierna, il Corrispettivo offerto ai titolari delle Azioni (diversi dall’Offerente e dalle società del gruppo cui l’Offerente appartiene) ai sensi dei Documenti di Offerta sia congruo (fair), da un punto di vista finanziario, per tali titolari .”
Fairness Opinion di Goldman Sachs Ai sensi dell’art. 39, comma 1, lettera (d) del Regolamento Emittenti, il Consiglio di Amministrazione si è avvalso di Goldman Sachs, quale advisor finanziario dell’Emittente, il quale ha reso la propria fairness opinion in data 18 luglio 2026 in merito alla congruità, da un punto di vista finanziario, per i titolari delle Azioni Oggetto dell’Offerta (diversi dall’Offerente e dalle società del Gruppo Poste), del Corrispettivo offerto a tali titolari per ciascuna Azione Oggetto dell’Offerta portata in adesione all’Offerta (allegata al presente Comunicato dell’Emittente sub Allegato B) (la “ Fairness Opinion di Goldman Sachs ”).
La Fairness Opinion di Goldman Sachs conclude che, alla data del presente Comunicato dell’Emittente e sulla base delle, e soggetta alle, assunzioni, qualificazioni e limitazioni ivi indicate, “ il Corrispettivo offerto ai titolari delle Azioni (diversi dall’Offerente e dalle società del gruppo cui l’Offerente appartiene) ai sensi del Comunicato dell’Offerente e del Documento di Offerta sia congruo (fair) da un punto di vista finanziario per tali titolari”.

“Ai fini delle nostre analisi, abbiamo preso in considerazione:
Dividend Discount Model (“DDM”). Abbiamo condotto un’analisi illustrativa del dividend discount model della Società e dell’Entità Combinata per ottenere un intervallo di valori impliciti per Azione e di valori impliciti del Corrispettivo, utilizzando:
o intervalli di tassi di sconto (da 9,0% a 10,0% per la Società; da 8,5% a 9,5% per l’Entità Combinata), che riflettono una stima del costo del capitale proprio (cost of equity) della Società e dell’Entità Combinata calcolato utilizzando il Capital Asset Pri cing Model (“CAPM”), applicato i) ai flussi di cassa futuri spettanti agli azionisti (equity free cash flows), come riportati nelle Previsioni della Società e nelle Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata, e ii) al terminal value (come descritto di seguito);
o terminal value a fine 2030E, calcolato utilizzando tassi di crescita perpetui compresi tra il 1,0% e il 2,0% per la Società e tra il 1,0% e il 2,0% per l’Entità Combinata, applicati al flusso di cassa futuro spettante agli azionisti (equity free cash flow) , come riportato nelle Previsioni della Società e nelle Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata.
Analisi del Valore Attuale del Prezzo Futuro per Azione (Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis).
Abbiamo condotto un’analisi del valore attuale indicativo del prezzo futuro e dei dividendi per Azione e per azione dell’Entità Combinata utilizzando le Previsioni della Società (per la Società) e le Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata (per l’Entità Combinata) e sulla base di:
o flussi di cassa operativi disponibili (operating free cash flows) (definiti come EBITDA after lease , al netto degli investimenti) e dividendi previsti per la Società e utili e dividendi previsti per l’Entità
66 Combinata per gli anni dal 2026E al 2029E;
o un intervallo di multipli del rapporto tra enterprise value e flusso di cassa operativo disponibile (operating free cash flow) (definito come EBITDA after lease, al netto degli investimenti) (da 9x a 12x per la Società), applicato al flusso di cassa operat ivo disponibile (operating free cash flow) (definito come EBITDA after lease , al netto degli investimenti) della Società stimato per i dodici mesi successivi, e un intervallo di multipli del rapporto prezzo/utili (da 10x a 16x per l’Entità Combinata), applicato all’utile dell’Entità Combinata stimato per i dodici mesi successivi, in ciascun caso alle rispettive date di riferimento;
o un tasso di sconto pari al 9,5% per la Società e al 9,0% per l’Entità Combinata, che riflette una stima del costo del capitale proprio (cost of equity) della Società e dell’Entità Combinata, calcolato utilizzando il CAPM.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
18 July 2026 Dear Madams, Sirs, You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders (other than Poste Italiane S.p.A. (the “Offeror”) and any of its affiliates) of the outstanding ordinary shares, with no par value (the “Shares”), of TIM S.p.A. (the “Company” or “TIM”) of the Consideration (as defined below) proposed to be paid for each Share tendered in the Offer (as defined below).
We understand that the Offeror, a società per azioni incorporated under the laws of Italy, announced on 22 March 2026 its intention to promote a voluntary public tender and exchange offer for all outstanding Shares not already owned by the Offeror , pursuant to Articles 102 and 106, paragraph 4, of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended (“Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 ”), and the relevant provisions of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971/1999, as amended (“CONSOB Regulation No. 11971/1999”) (the “ Offer”). We further understand that, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents (as defined below), the consideration for each Share tendered in the Offer consists of (i) €1.67 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) an d (ii) no. 0.218 newly issued ordinary shares, with no par value, of the Offeror (the “Share Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Consideration”), in each case as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Offer Documents (as de fined below) to factor in the Company’s Share Reverse Split (as defined in the Offer Document) that occurred on 15 June 2026 .

We have also held discussions with members of the senior management of the Company regarding their assessment of the Offer, the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company and the Offeror, and the potential benefits, risks and other implications of the Offer.
In connection with rendering our opinion, we performed certain financial analyses, based on commonly used valuation methodologies, on a “Has / Gets” basis and a summary of the material financial analyses performed is presented below. This summary does not purport to be an exhaustive description of the financial analyses undertaken by Evercore. The order of the analyses described, and the results of those analyses, do not reflect the relative importance or weight attributed by Evercore to any particular anal ysis.
Main methodologies used.
Has / Gets framework. For the purpose of our analyses, we compared (i) the implied value of one Share of TIM on a stand -alone basis (the “Has”) with (ii) the implied value of the Consideration to be received for each Share of TIM by holders of the Shares, consisting of the Cash Consideration plus the value of the Share Consideration on a pro forma basis following completion of the Offer (the “Gets”). The analysis encompasses two main valuation methodologies, both described below:
(i) an intrinsic valuation methodology, based on D iscounted Cash Flow (DCF) - Dividend Discount Model (DDM) analyses, and (ii) a relative valuation methodology, based on trading comparables and sum-of-the-parts analys es.
Intrinsic valuation / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) - Dividend Discount Model (DDM) analyses . We performed (i) a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company on a stand -alone basis, based on cash flows for TIM S.A. (“TIM Brasil”) related to the TIM group’s ownership of TIM
3 Brasil and the TIM group excluding TIM Brasil (“TIM Domestic”), and (ii) a dividend discount model analysis of the Combined Group, including the Synergies, integration costs and the other pro forma adjustments reflected in the Combined Group Projections.
In performing the D iscounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis of the Company, we used the Company Projections and calculated the terminal value by applying a perpetuity growth methodology to terminal -year cash flows. We applied a blended weighted average cost of capital (WACC) range of 8.5% - 9.5% and a blended perpetuity growth rate range of 2.25% - 2.75%, selected by reference to the relative contribution of TIM Domestic and TIM Brasil to projected cash flows, the estimated cost of capital for each relevant business unit, relevant market data and publicly available broker benchmarks .
In performing the D ividend Discount Model (DDM) analysis of the Combined Group, we used the Combined Group Projections, including the Synergies, integration costs and the other pro forma adjustments reflected therein, and the terminal value. We applied a cost of equity range of 9.5% -
10.5% and a perpetuity growth rate range of 1.5% - 2%, selected taking into account the pro forma risk profile of the Combined Group, the weighted contribution of the relevant business units, relevant market data and publicly available broker benchmarks .
Relative valuation / Trading comparables and Sum -of-the-parts analys es. We performed (i) a relative valuation of the Company on a stand -alone basis based on Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases ( EV/EBITDAaL ) and Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures ( EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex) ) trading multiples of selected publicly traded companies (the “Has”) , and (ii) a sum -of-the-parts valuation of the Combined Group , valuing the Offeror ’s Financial Services, Insurance Services, PostePay, Mail, Pa rcels & Distribution and TIM business units and the Synergies (the “Gets”) .
In performing the trading comparables analysis for the Company, we reviewed selected publicly traded telecommunications companies and selected ranges based on their observed trading multiples and the relative financial metrics of TIM Domestic and TIM Brasil. In particular, w e applied (i) a 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases ( EV/EBITDAaL ) multiple of 6.5x for TIM Domestic, plus or minus 0.5x, and a 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL ) multiple range of 4.2x – 4.8x for TIM Brasil ; and (ii) a 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures ( EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex) ) multiple of 12.5x for TIM Domestic, plus or minus 0.5x, and a 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures ( EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex) ) multiple range of 6.8x – 8.7x for TIM Brasil .
In performing the sum -of-the-parts analysis for the Combined Group , we valued the Financial Services and Insurance Services business units using 2026E Price / Earnings ( P/E) multiples of 12.5x – 14x and 12.5x – 13.5x, respectively, and valued the PostePay and Mail, Parcels & Distribution business units using 2026E Enterprise Value / EBITDA ( EV/EBITDA ) multiples of 6.5x –7.5x and 5.0x – 6.0x, respectively. The TIM business was valued consistently with the Company stand -alone trading comparables analysis, and the S ynergies were valued on a Net Present Value (NPV) basis using the Combined Group cost of equity range of 9.5% - 10.5%. The selected ranges reflected the financial characteristics, growth profile and trading multiples of the selected reference companies.
Summary of outcomes.
Based on the assumptions approved for our use by the Company , the Intrinsic valuation / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) - Dividend Discount Model (DDM) implied a stand -alone value per Share for the Company of € 5.4 - €7.6 and a value of the Consideration of € 7.3 - €8.4.
Based on the assumptions approved for our use by the Company , the Relative valuation / Trading comparables and Sum -of-the-parts analyses implied a stand -alone value per Share for the Company in a range of €4.7 - €6.5 and a value of the Consideration in a range of €6.7 - €7.8.
The foregoing outcomes are further supported by the implied value of the Consideration to the holders of the Shares based on the trading price of the Poste Shares as of 16 July 2026, relative to both the implied stand -alone value per Share and the trading price of the Shares on the day prior to the announcement of the Offer.
The results of the analyses should be considered as a whole. No single method or range was determinative of our opinion.
4 Our opinion does not address the absolute or intrinsic value of the Shares or of the Poste Shares (or the Combined Group), in each case considered independently . Our analysis has been conducted primarily on a “Has / Gets ” basis, comparing the implied stand -alone value of one Share with the implied value of the Consideration .
For the purposes of our analysis and opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, with your consent and without undertaking any independent verification of, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, discussed with, or reviewed by us, and we assume no responsibility or liability therefor.

We have further assumed that (i) the Issuer Statement as it will be published by the Company will not deviate from the draft Issuer Statement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof , and ( ii) the Offer Document as it will be published by the Offeror will not deviate from the Offer Document approved by the Italian Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa on 15 July 2026 , in each case, in any way meaningful to our analysis .
We have neither made nor assumed any responsibility for making any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off -balance -sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company, the Offeror or any of thei r respective subsidiaries, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals.

Our opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters, the compliance of the Offer with Italian tender offer regulations, any term or aspect of the Saving Shares Conversion, the Share Reverse Split (as defined in the Offer Document), or any merger, delisting or ot her transaction that may be implemented following the Offer, including in connection with the delisting of the Company, if any , or the prices at which the Shares or the Poste Shares may trade at any time. We have assumed that any modification to the structure or terms of the Offer will not vary in any respect material to our analysis. Our opinion does not address the relative mer its of the Offer as compared to any other business or financial strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. In arriving at our opinion, we were not requested to solicit, and did not solicit, interest from any third party with respect to the acquisition of any or all of the Shares or any business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving the Compa ny.

C i siamo inoltre confrontati con i membri del senior management della Società in merito alla loro valutazione dell’Offerta, all ’operatività commerciale , alla situazione finanziaria e alle prospettive future della Società e dell’Offerente, nonché ai potenziali benefici, rischi e altre implicazioni dell ’Offerta.
Ai fini della formulazione del nostro parere, abbiamo condotto alcune analisi finanziarie sulla base di metodologie di valutazione comunemente utilizzate, secondo il criterio “Has / Gets ” e, di seguito, è riportata una sintesi delle analisi finanziarie svolte . Tale sintesi non intende fornire una descrizione completa delle analisi finanziarie condotte da Evercore. L ’ordine in cui sono illustrate le analisi e i relativi risultati non riflett e l’importanza relativa o il valore attribuito da Evercore a ciascun a specifica analisi .
Principali metodologie utilizzate.
C riterio “Has / Get s”. Ai fini delle nostre analisi, abbiamo confrontato (i) il valore implicito di un ’Azione di TIM su base stand- alone (il “Has”) con (ii) il valore implicito del Corrispettivo che i titolari delle Azioni riceveranno per ciascuna Azione di TIM , costituito dal Corrispettivo in Denaro e dal valore del Corrispettivo in Azioni,
3 determinato su base pro forma a seguito del perfezionamento dell’Offerta (il “ Gets ”). L’analisi si fonda su due principali metodologie di valutazione, entrambe descritte di seguito: (i) una metodologia di valutazione intrinseca, basata sull’analisi del Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) e del Dividend Discount Model (DDM) , e (ii) una metodologia di valutazione relativa, basata sull’analisi delle società quotate comparabili e sulla somma delle parti (sum- of-the-parts ).
Valutazione intrinseca / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) – Dividend Discount Model (DDM) . Abbiamo svolto
(i)un
’analisi d el discounted cash flow della Società su base stand- alone , sulla base dei flussi di cassa di TIM S.A. ( “TIM Brasil ”) relativi alla partecipazione detenuta dal gruppo TIM in TIM Brasil, nonché del gruppo TI M al netto di TIM Brasil (“TIM Domestic ”), e (ii) un’analisi basata sul dividend discount model del Gruppo Combinato, tenendo conto delle Sinergie , dei costi di integrazione e delle altre rettifiche pro forma riflesse nelle Proiezioni del Gruppo Combinato .
Nello svolgimento del l’analisi del Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) della Società, abbiamo utilizzato le Proiezioni della Società e calcolato il terminal value applicando una metodologia di crescita perpetua ai flussi di cassa dell’anno finale . Abbiamo applicato un intervallo d el costo medio ponderato del capitale ( WACC ) compreso tra 8,5% – 9,5% e un intervallo del tasso di crescita perpetua compreso tra 2,25% – 2,75%, selezionati tenendo conto del contributo relativo di TIM Domestic e TIM Brasil ai flussi di cassa prospettici , del costo del capitale stimato per ciascuna business unit rilevante, dei relativi dati di mercato e dei broker benchmark pubblicamente disponibili.
Nello svolgimento del l’analisi del Dividend Discount Model ( DDM) del Gruppo C ombinato , abbiamo utilizzato le Proiezioni del Gruppo C ombinato, incluse le Sinergie, i costi di integrazione e le altre rettifiche pro forma ivi riflesse , nonché il terminal value . Abbiamo applicato un intervallo del costo del capitale proprio ( cost of equity ) compreso tra 9,5% – 10,5% e un intervallo del tasso di crescita perpetua compreso tra 1,5% – 2,0% , selezionati tenendo conto del profilo di rischio pro forma del Gruppo C ombinato, del contributo ponderato delle business unit rilevanti , dei relativi dati di mercato e dei broker benchmark pubblicamente disponibili .
Valutazione relativa / Analisi delle società quotate comparabili e somma delle parti (sum-of-the-parts ).
Abbiamo svolto (i) una valutazione relativa della Società su base stand- alone , sulla base dei multipli di mercato Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL) e Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) di un campione selezionato di società quotate (l’“Has”), nonché (ii)una valutazione secondo il metodo della somma delle parti (sum- of-the-parts ) del Gruppo Combinato , med iante la valorizzazione del le business unit dell’Offerente relative a Servizi Finanziari, Servizi Assicurativi, Servizi PostePay, Corrispondenza , Pacchi e Distribuzione, nonché delle business unit di TIM e delle Sinergie (il “Gets ”).
Nello svolgimento del l’a nalisi delle società quotate comparabili relativa alla Società, abbiamo esaminato un campione selezionato di società di telecomunicazioni quotate e selezionato determinati intervalli sulla base dei multipli di mercato osservati e dei relativi parametri finanziari di TIM Domestic e TIM Brasil. In particolare, abbiamo applicato (i) un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL) pari a 6,5x per TIM Domestic , con una variazione di più o meno 0,5x, e un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases (EV/EBITDAaL) in un range compreso tra 4,2x – 4,8x per TIM Brasil; e (ii) un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) pari a 12,5x per TIM Domestic , con una variazione di più o meno 0,5x, e un multiplo 2027E Enterprise Value / EBITDA after Leases minus Capital Expenditures (EV/(EBITDAaL -Capex)) in un range compreso tra 6,8x – 8,7x per TIM Brasil .
Nello svolgimento del l’analisi della somma delle parti ( sum- of-the-parts ) relativa al Gruppo Combinato , abbiamo valutato le business unit Servizi Finanziari e Servizi Assicurativi utilizzando multipli 2026E Price / Earnings (P/E) pari a 12,5x – 14,0x e 12,5x – 13,5x , rispettivamente, e abbiamo valutato le business unit Servizi PostePay, Corrispondenza, Pacchi e Distribuzione utilizzando multipli 2026E Enterprise Value / EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) pari a 6,5x – 7,5x e 5,0x – 6,0x, rispettivamente. Le attività di TIM sono state valutat e coerentemente con l’analisi delle società quotate comparabili relativa alla Società su base stand- alone , mentre le Sinergie sono state valutate sulla base del Net Present Value (NPV) utilizzando un intervallo del costo del capitale proprio del Gruppo Combinato compreso tra il 9,5% e il 10,5%. Gli intervalli selezionati riflettevano le caratteristiche finanziarie, il profilo di crescita e i multipli di mercato delle società di riferimento selezionate.
4 Sintesi dei risultati.
Sulla base delle assunzioni approvate dalla Società per il nostro utilizzo, la Valutazione intrinseca / Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) – Dividend Discount Model (DDM) ha determinato un valore stand- alone per Azione della Società pari a €5,4 – € 7,6 e un valore del Corrispettivo pari a €7,3 – € 8,4.
Sulla base delle assunzioni approvate dalla Società per il nostro utilizzo, la Valutazione relativa / Analisi delle società quotate comparabili e somma delle parti ( sum-of-the-parts ) ha determinato un valore stand- alone per Azione della Società pari a €4,7 – € 6,5 e un valore del Corrispettivo pari a € 6,7 – €7,8.
I risultati sopra esposti sono ulteriormente supportati dal valore implicito del Corrispettivo per i titolari delle Azioni, calcolato sulla base del prezzo di negoziazione delle Azioni Poste alla data del 16 luglio 2026, rispetto sia al valore implicito stand -alone per Azione sia al prezzo di negoziazione delle Azioni il giorno precedente l’annuncio dell'Offerta.
I risultati delle analisi devono essere considerati nel loro insieme. Nessun singolo metodo o intervallo è stato determinante ai fini del nostro parere.
Il nostro parere non ha ad oggetto i l valore assoluto o intrinseco delle Azioni o delle Azioni Poste (o del Gruppo Combinato), in ciascun caso considerato indipendentemente. La nostra analisi è stata condotta principalmente secondo il criterio “ Has / Gets ”, confrontando il valore implicito stand- alone di un ’Azione con il valore implicito del Corrispettivo.

and any of their respective affiliates , or any currency or commodity that may be involved in the Offer . We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with its consideration of the Offer and other matters pursuant to our engagement by the Company .
We expect to receive fees for our services in connection with the Offer , all of which are contingent upon consummation of the Offer , and the Company has agreed to reimburse certain of our expenses arising, and indemnify us against certain liabilities that may arise, out of our engagement. Goldman Sachs has provided certain financial advisory and/or underwriting services to the Company and/or its affiliates from time to time for which Goldman Sachs Investment Banking has received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as the Company’s advisor in connection with the sale of its network business, in July 2024; as the Company’s co- advisor in connection with the sale of Sparkle S.p.A. to the MEF and Retelit S.p.A., in April 2025; and as bookrunner with respect to the institutional offering of the Company’s 3.625% senior unsecured bonds due 2030 in September 2025.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Offeror Statement; the Offer Document; a draft of the statement to be published by the Company pursuant to Article 103 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998, as amended, in the form approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on the date of this opinion (the “Issuer Statement” ); annual reports to shareholders of the Company and the Offeror for the five fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 , December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021; certain interim reports to shareholders of the Company and the Offeror; certain other communications from the Company and the Offeror to their respective s hareholders; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company and the Offeror; certain internal financial analyses and forecasts for the Company and certain forecasts related to the expected utilization by the Company of certain net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, prepared by its management (the “Company Forecasts”), as approved for our use by the Company; certain financial analyses and forecasts for the Offeror compiled by the management of the Company based on certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Offeror (the “Offeror Forecasts”), as approved for our use by the Company; certain operating synergies projected by the management of the Company on the basis of the Offer Document to result from the Offer (the “Synergies”), as approved for our use by the Company; and certain financial analyses and forecasts for the Offeror after giving effect to the Offer (“Combined Entity”) compiled by the management of the Company by combining the Company Forecasts and the Offeror Forecasts and adjusting the results of such combination for the effects of the Synergies (the “Combined Entity Forecasts”), as approved for our use by the Company. We have also held discussions with members of the senior management
Board of Directors TIM S.p.A.

of the Company regarding their assessment of the strategic rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the Offer and the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of the Company and the Offeror ; compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company and the Offeror with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; and performed such other studies and analyses, and considered such other factors, as we deemed appropriate.
For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have, with your consent, relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, us, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. In that regard, we have assumed with your consent that the Company Forecasts , the Offeror Forecasts, the Combined Entity Forecasts including the Synergies have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best current ly available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company . We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off -balance -sheet assets and liabilities) of the Company or the Offeror or any of their respective subsidiaries and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.
We have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Offer will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Company, the Offeror, or the expected benefits of the Offer in any way meaningful to our analysis. We have assumed that the Offer will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Offeror Statement and the Offer Document , without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to our analysis. We have further assumed that the Issuer Statement as it will be published by the Company will not deviate from the draft Issuer Statement approved by the B oard of D irectors of the Company on the date hereof, in any way meaningful to our analysis.
In connection with rendering our opinion, we have performed certain financial analyses to calculate ranges of implied Consideration and a summary of the material financial analyses performed is presented below.
This summary does not purport to be an exhaustive description of the financial analyses undertaken by Goldman Sachs. The order of the analyses described and the results of the analyses do not reflect the relative importance or the relative weight attributed by Goldman Sachs to such analyses.
For each of the material financial analyses described below, t he implied value per Share of the Company before giving effect to the Offer (the “Company Stand Alone Value”) has been derived from the Company Forecasts, and the implied value per share of the Combined Entity (the “Combined Entity Equity Value”) has been derived from the Combined Entity Forecasts. For each of the material financial analyses described below, the indicative reference ranges have been calculated by comparing (i) the implied value per Share, derived from the Company Stand Alone Value with (ii) the implied value of the Consideration, composed of the Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration, paid per Share where the Share Consideration has been computed on the basis of the implied value per Offeror Share, derived from the Combined Entity Equity Value.
For the purposes of our analyses, we have taken into consideration:

Dividend Discount Model (“DDM”). We performed an illustrative dividend discount model analysis of the Company and the Combined Entity to derive a range of implied values per Share and of implied values of the Consideration using:
oRanges of discount rates (9.0% to 10.0% for the Company; 8.5% to 9.5% for the Combi ned E ntity), reflecting an estimate of the Company’s and the Combined Entity’s cost of equity calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), applied to i) future cash flow s t o equity holders, as set forth in the Company Forecasts and the Combined Entity Forecasts, and ii) the terminal value (as described below);
oTerminal value at the end of 2030E calculated using the perpetuity growth rates rangi ng f rom 1.0% to 2.0% for the Company and from 1.0% to 2.0% for the Combined Entity applied to future cash flow s to equity holders, as set forth in the Company Forecasts and the Combined Entity Forecasts.
Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis. W e performed an analysis of the illustrative present value of the future price and dividends per Share and per share of the Combined Entity using the Company Forecasts (for the Company) and the Combined Entity Forecasts (for the Combined Entity) and based on:
oForecasted operating free cash flows (EBITDA after leases – Capex ) and dividends for t he Company and forecasted earnings and dividends for the Combined Entity for the years 2026E through 2029E ;
oA range of enterprise value to operating free cash flow (EBITDA after leases – Capex) multiples (9x to 12 x for the Company) applied to the Company’s estimated next twelve months operating free cash flow (EBITDA after leases – Capex) , and a range of price- to-
earnings multiples (10x to 16x for the Combined Entity) applied to the Combined Entity’s estimated next twelve months earnings, in each case as of the relevant dates;
oA discount rate of 9.5% for the Company and 9.0% for the Combined Entity, reflecting an estimate of the Company's cost of equity and the Combined Entity’s cost of equity calculated using the CAPM.
The table below presents the results of the analyses summarized above:

Ci siamo inoltre confrontati con i membri del senior management della Società in merito alla loro valutazione della ratio strategic a e dei potenziali benefici dell’Offer ta, nonché de ll’operatività commerciale e della situazione finanziaria, passat e e attuali , della Società e dell’Offerente , nonché delle relative prospettive future ; abbiamo confrontato alcune informazioni finanziarie e di mercato relative alla Società e all’Offerente con informazioni analoghe relative ad altre società i cui titoli sono quotati sui mercati regolamentati; e abbiamo effettuato ulteriori studi e analisi, nonché preso in considerazione ulteriori fattori, che abbiamo ritenuto appropriati .
Ai fini della predisposizione del presente parere, con il Vostro consenso, abbiamo fatto affidamento sulla, e assunto la, veridicità e completezza di tutte le informazioni finanziarie, legali, regolamentari, fiscali, contabili e di altro tipo forniteci, con noi discusse o da noi analizzate, senza assumere alcuna responsabilità in merito alla verifica indipendente delle medesime. A tale
riguardo,
con il Vostro consenso, abbiamo assunto che le Previsioni della Società, le Previsioni dell’Offerente e le Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata, ivi comprese le Sinergie, siano state redatte in modo ragionevole sulla base delle migliori stime e valutazioni attualmente a disposizione del management della Società. Non abbiamo effettuato alcuna valutazione o stima indipendente delle attività e delle passività (incluse eventuali attività e passività contingenti, derivate o fuori bilancio) della Società, dell’Offerente o di una qualsiasi delle loro rispettive controllate, né ci è stata fornita alcuna valutazione o stima al riguardo. Abbiamo assunto che tutte le autorizzazioni e le approvazioni di natura governativa, regolamentare o di altra natura necessarie per il perfezionamento dell’Offerta saranno ottenute senza alcun effetto negativo sulla Società, sull’Offerente o sui benefici attesi dall’Offerta che risulti in qualsiasi misura significativo ai fini della nostra analisi. Abbiamo assunto che l’Offerta si perfezionerà secondo i termini e le condizioni previsti dal Comunicato dell’Offerente e dal Documento di Offerta, senza alcuna rinuncia o modifica dei medesimi il cui effetto sia in alcun modo significativo ai fini della nostra analisi.
Abbiamo altresì assunto che il Comunicato dell’Emittente, nella versione che sarà pubblicata dalla Società, non differirà in alcun modo significativo ai fini della nostra analisi dalla bozza del Comunicato dell’Emittente approvata dal Consiglio di Amministrazione della Società alla data del presente parere.
Ai fini della formulazione del nostro parere, abbiamo svolto alcune analisi finanziarie volte a calcolare gli intervalli del valore implicito del Corrispettivo; una sintesi delle analisi finanziarie rilevanti da noi condotte è riportata di seguito .
Tale sintesi non intende costituire una descrizione completa delle analisi finanziarie svolte da Goldman Sachs. L’ordine in cui tali analisi e i relativi risultati vengono presentat i non riflette l’importanza o il valore attribuiti da Goldman Sachs a ciascuna delle suddette analisi .
Per ciascuna delle analisi finanziarie di seguito descritte , il valore implicito per Azione della Società in assenza del completamento dell’Offerta (il “Valore Stand -Alone della Società” ) è stato ricavato dalle Previsioni della Società, mentre il valore implicito per azione dell’Entità Combinata (l’“Equity Value dell’Entità Combinata” ) è stato ricavato dalle Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata. Per ciascuna delle analisi finanziarie di seguito descritte, gli intervalli di riferimento indicativi sono stati

Ai fini delle nostre analisi, abbiamo preso in considerazione:
Dividend Discount Model (“DDM”). Abbiamo condotto un’analisi illustrativa del dividend discount model della Società e dell’Entità Combinata per ottenere un intervallo di valori impliciti per Azione e di valori impliciti del Corrispettivo , utilizzando:
ointervalli di tassi di sconto ( da 9,0 % a 10,0 % per la Società; da 8,5 % a 9,5 % per l’Entità Combinata), che riflettono una stima del costo del capitale proprio ( cost of equity ) della S ocietà e dell’Entità Combinata calcolato utilizzando il Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), applicato i) ai flussi di cassa futuri spettanti agli azionisti (equity free cas h f lows), come riportati nelle Previsioni della Società e nelle Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata, e ii) al terminal value (come descritto di seguito);
oterminal value a fine 2030E , calcolato utilizzando tassi di crescita perpetui compresi tra i l 1, 0% e il 2,0% per la Società e tra il 1,0% e il 2,0% per l’Entità C ombinata, applicati al flusso di cassa futuro spettante agli azionisti (equity free cash flow) , come riportato nelle Previsioni della Società e nelle Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata.
Analisi del Valore Attuale del Prezzo Futuro per Azione ( P resent Value of Future Share Price Analysis ). Abbiamo condotto un’analisi del valore attuale indicativo del prezzo futuro e dei dividendi per Azione e per azione dell’Entità Combinata utilizzando le Previsioni della Società (per la Società) e le Previsioni dell’Entità Combinata (per l’Entità Combinata ) e sulla base di:
oflussi di cassa operativi disponibili ( operating free cash flows) (definit i come EBITDA after lease, al netto degli investimenti) e dividendi previsti p er la Società e utili e dividendi previsti per l’Entità Combinata per gli anni dal 2026E al 2029E;
oun intervallo di multipli del rapporto tra enterprise value e flusso di cassa operativo disponibile ( operating free cash flow) (definito come EBITDA after lease , al netto degli investimenti) (da 9x a 12 x per la Società) , applicato al flusso di cassa operativo disponibil e
(oper
ating free cash flow ) (definito come EBITDA after lease , al netto degli investimenti) della Società stimato per i dodici mesi successivi , e un intervallo di multipli del rapporto prezzo/utili ( da 10x a 16x per l’Entità Combinata ), applicato all’utile dell’Entità Combinata stimato per i dodici mesi successivi , in ciascun caso alle rispettive date di riferimento;
oun tasso di sconto pari al 9,5% per la Società e al 9,0% per l’Entità C ombinata, che riflett e una stima del costo del capitale proprio ( cost of equity ) della Società e dell’Entità Combinata, calcolat o utilizzando il CAPM.

COMUNICATO STAMPA
Ok Consob a Opas Poste su Tim. Faraoni (Fistel Cisl): «Solido contenuto industriale, positivi gli impegni a tutela del lavoro» Roma, 17 Luglio 2026, «Il Documento di Offerta presentato da Poste Italiane presenta un solido razionale industriale». Lo dichiara il Segretario Generale Nazionale della Fistel Cisl, Alessandro Faraoni, commentando positivamente il via libera della Consob all’Opas di Poste Italiane su Tim.
«In un settore che da anni vive una fase di forte pressione competitiva, investimenti crescenti e una rapida evoluzione tecnologica, la creazione di un grande gruppo nazionale integrato rappresenta un’opportunità importante per rafforzare la competitività del sistema Paese e sostenere la crescita di Tim nel lungo periodo.
Per questo guardiamo con favore al fatto che il progetto sia fondato su una logica di crescita industriale e non esclusivamente finanziaria. Il Documento di Offerta evidenzia infatti la volontà di investire nelle infrastrutture digitali, nel cloud, nella cyber sicurezza, nell’intelligenza artificiale e nei servizi rivolti a cittadini, imprese e Pubblica Amministrazione: elementi che possono rafforzare le prospettive industriali del Gruppo.
Inoltre, la complementarità tra Poste e Tim appare in grado di creare un operatore nazionale con maggiore capacità di investimento, maggiore solidità e una posizione competitiva più forte in un mercato europeo in profonda trasformazione, garantendo una prospettiva di crescita più stabile rispetto a uno scenario stand -
alone.
Ma soprattutto apprezziamo gli impegni assunti da Poste in materia di tutela del lavoro. Nel Documento di Offerta si dichiara di non prevedere modifiche sostanziali ai contratti di lavoro dei dipendenti Tim, né effetti negativi sull’occupazione, sulle condizioni di lavoro o sulla presenza territoriale: la complementarità tra le attività di Poste e Tim viene indicata come fattore di crescita, non di sovrapposizione. Il documento richiama inoltre l’obiettivo di investire nelle competenze, nella formazione, nella riqualificazione e nella valorizzazione delle persone, riconoscendo nel capitale umano uno degli elementi fondamentali per il successo del progetto industriale.
In un momento di grandi trasformazioni del mondo del lavoro, con l’avanzare dell’intelligenza artificiale, è doverosa una grande attenzione alla custodia della persona umana, come ci insegna Papa Leone XIV nel suo libro “Magnifica Humanitas”.
Alla luce di questi elementi esprimiamo una valutazione favorevole sull’operazione, che può rappresentare un’importante opportunità per il rilancio di Tim, per il rafforzamento del settore delle telecomunicazioni e per la crescita di un campione nazionale al servizio della trasformazione digitale del Paese. Vigileremo affinché gli impegni assunti trovino piena attuazione, nel confronto con le organizzazioni sindacali e nella tutela delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori».
