The list of ten candidates is led by Amos Genish, Chief Executive Officer of TIM. Amos Genish has the full support of Vivendi for the execution of the 2018-2020 industrial plan presented and unanimously adopted by the Board. Arnaud de Puyfontaine, second on the list, is proposed to serve as non-executive Chairman.

It includes five candidates (Mrs. Moretti, Capaldo, Jones, Antonini, and Mr. Valensise) who are fully independent under the terms of the relevant Italian corporate governance regulations.

“The work accomplished over the recent period in Telecom Italia has already shown signs of bearing fruit with the Q4 2017 earnings showing the best results in the last ten years.

Vivendi is today presenting a new slate of candidates for the Board of Telecom Italia which is uniquely qualified to take the company forward under the leadership of Amos Genish who has already demonstrated his strengths as a CEO since his appointment late September 2017.

We will give all the necessary support to Amos Genish and the management team in their efforts to deliver on the Digitim strategy and put the business on a firm industrial and financial footing.

In putting forward this list, we have listened carefully to the views of shareholders and other key stakeholders. We have made changes to strengthen the technical competence of the Board as well as drawing on a wider range of expertise and opinions.

We are confident that all shareholders will support the new Board, the management and the strategy,” stated Arnaud de Puyfontaine, Chief Executive Officer of Vivendi.
