(Page 4) This Amendment No. 21 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D dated August 9, 2001, as amended (as previously amended, the "Statement on Schedule 13D") filed by Edizione Holding S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy ("Edizione Holding"), Edizione Finance International S.A., a company incorporated in the Duchy of Luxembourg ("Edizione Finance"), and Ragione S.a.p.a. di Gilberto Benetton e C., a partnership organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy ("Ragione") (Edizione Holding, Edizione Finance and Ragione, are collectively referred to herein as the "Edizione Reporting Persons") 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. This Amendment is being filed by each of the Edizione Reporting Persons. Pirelli, the Purchaser, Edizione Holding, UCI, BCI, and, as discussed in Items 4 and 6 of Amendment No. 10 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, Hopa are members of a group with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares. The Edizione Reporting Persons are making a separate filing on Schedule 13D in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are solely responsible for the information contained in this filing, except that information contained in the Statement on Schedule 13D concerning any director or officer of the Purchaser nominated by Pirelli, UCI, BCI or Hopa 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. 13 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.
