At a Board meeting held today, the directors of Telco S.p.A. approved a resolution, at the request of Telefónica S.A., to submit a request to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for an item to be added to the agenda (pursuant to and within the meaning of Article 126-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98) for the next annual general meeting of the said company – being called to take place on 20 May 2015 – asking in particular for the following item to be added to the agenda for the extraordinary business: "1. Additions to the Articles of Association requested by Telefónica, via Telco, in response to the rulings issued by the Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL); and related resolutions".
