Telecom Italia successfully issued a Euro 1 billion fixed rate bond offered to institutional investors.

The great quality and amount of the orders received once again confirms the market’s positive attitude towards Telecom Italia’s credit, allowing the company to price the issue with a yield lower than initial guidance, for a 3% coupon being the lowest ever amongst the non-convertible Euro bonds issued by the Group.

The yield of the bond, equal to 3.025%, is largely below the Group’s average cost of debt (5.1% at the end of June, 2016). The proceeds of the new issue will be used to optimize and refinance forthcoming debt maturities.

Details are:

• Issuer: Telecom Italia S.p.A.

• Amount: Euro 1 billion

• Settlement date: 30 September 2016

• Maturity: 30 September 2025

• Coupon: 3.000%

• Issue price: 99.806%

• Redemption price: 100.000%

The actual yield to maturity of 3.025%, corresponds to a yield of 283 basis points above the reference rate (mid swap).

The notes will be issued under the Group’s Euro 20 billion EMTN programme and will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
