3 This Amendment No. 27 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated August 9, 2001, as amended (as previously amended, the "Statement on Schedule 13D"), filed by Pirelli S.p.A. (which, as reported in Amendment No. 21 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, subsequently merged with and into Pirelli & C. S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy), and, commencing with Amendment No. 1 thereto, Olimpia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy, with respect to the ordinary shares, euro 0.55 par value per share, of Telecom Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement on Schedule 13D. Pirelli & C., Olimpia, Edizione Holding and Edizione Finance, Hopa, UCI and BCI are members of a group with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares. This Amendment constitutes a separate filing on Schedule 13D by Pirelli & C. and Olimpia in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pirelli & C. and Olimpia are responsible solely for the information contained in their separate filing, except that information contained in the Statement on Schedule 13D concerning any director or officer of Olimpia nominated by Edizione Holding, Hopa, UCI or BCI has been provided by the nominating person or by such nominee director or officer. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Reference is made to the Hopa Agreement (as that term is defined in Item 6 of Amendment No. 17 to the Statement on Schedule 13D). On January 23, 2004, the parties to the Hopa Agreement entered into an agreement to amend the Hopa Agreement (the "Hopa Agreement Amendment"). The Hopa Agreement Amendment relieves Hopa of certain restrictions contained in the Hopa Agreement relating to Hopa's ownership of Telecom Italia Shares in order to permit Hopa to enter into a transaction with Nexgen Capital Limited pursuant to which Hopa will receive 229,411,021 Telecom Italia Shares in exchange for certain derivative instruments whose value is linked to the performance of Telecom Italia Shares. A copy of an English translation of the Hopa Agreement Amendment is filed as Exhibit 60. ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS 60.
