With reference to the reports in today's press of a
possible cut in the Telecom Italia dividend, the company
wishes to make clear that the decision on dividends will be
taken by the Board of Directors when it meets to approve the
preliminary financial statements on 29 March.
During the meeting of 19 January, however, the Board did
express its orientation, with a view to protecting the
company and its shareholders, towards giving absolute
priority to develeraging and to maintenance of the rating,
especially in the light of the recent downgrade of
Italy's creditworthiness.
The company takes this opportunity to reiterate that the 2012
financial calendar foresees an examination of the preliminary
2011 statements on 23 February, approval of the TI SpA
financial statements and consolidated group statements on 29
March, and the convocation of the Shareholders' Meeting
for 15 May (ex-coupon on 21 May).
