    NOTE 39—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTION AND COORDINATION ACTIVITY

    The following tables show figures relating to related party transactions and the impact of these transactions on the separate consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of cash flows.

    Related party transactions, when not dictated by specific laws, were conducted at arm’s length. The transactions were carried out in accordance with the internal procedure that contains the rules aimed at ensuring the transparency and fairness of related party transactions, in accordance with Consob Regulation 17221/2010.

    Starting on May 3, 2017, the Board of Directors of TIM amended the Procedure for the management of transactions with related parties, initially extending its scope on a voluntary basis and then adding the treatment of Vivendi as its Controlling Entity, from June 1, 2017. In addition, on September 13, 2017, Consob communicated that “it considered that Vivendi exercises de facto control over TIM pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 93 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, and pursuant to the related party regulations”. Although it intended to challenge the decision, the Board of Directors ensured full compliance with the rules resulting from this classification, also amending the aforementioned Procedure as a consequence (on September 28, 2017).

    In the meantime, on July 27, 2017, the Board of Directors also acknowledged the start of direction and coordination by Vivendi. On August 4, 2017, in response to a request from Consob, the Company specified that this acknowledgment had taken place, following the statements made to the Board of Directors by the Executive Chairman, also in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Vivendi Group, in the light of two specific circumstances:

     

      ·   on the one hand, the strengthening of the Company’s management team with the arrival in TIM of a senior executive from the Vivendi group, aimed, among other things, at achieving greater coordination between the industrial and commercial activities of the various companies, as part of the strategic plan; and

     

      ·   on the other hand, the JV between TIM and Canal+, as another equally indicative sign of the desire to establish a form of coordination between the two groups in the multimedia sector, as part of the strategic plan.

    In October 20, 2017, the Board of Directors of TIM examined and approved the binding term sheet by majority vote for the creation of a joint venture with Canal+. The term sheet expired, however, on January 18, 2018.

     

    Lastly:

     

      ·   up to May 4, 2017, the shareholders of the company Telco (the Generali, Intesa Sanpaolo, Mediobanca, and Telefonica groups), were also considered related parties of TIM, based on the provision of TIM’s procedure for the management of transactions with related parties according to which it applies “also to the participants in significant shareholder agreements according to Article 122 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, which govern the candidacy to the position of Director of the Company, where the majority of the Directors nominated have been drawn from the list submitted”. The members of the Board of Directors of TIM in office up to May 4, 2017 had in fact been drawn from the list originally submitted by the shareholder Telco. With the reappointment of the Board of Directors, this circumstance no longer applied and the scope of related parties through Directors was therefore amended;

     

      ·   the investment held in the Sofora—Telecom Argentina group, classified under Discontinued operations/Non-current assets held for sale starting from the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013, was sold on March 8, 2016.

    The effects on the individual line items of the Group’s separate consolidated income statements for the years 2017, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

    TRANSACTIONS WITH ASSOCIATES, SUBSIDIARIES OF ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES

    During 2017, Italtel S.p.A. was the subject of a recapitalization operation in which the TIM Group did not participate and which involved the simultaneous sale of the financial instruments held. The transaction was completed on December 14, 2017, therefore, starting from that date, the Italtel Group is no longer a related party of the TIM Group.

    REMUNERATION TO KEY MANAGERS

    In 2017, the total remuneration recorded on an accrual basis by TIM or by companies controlled by the Group in respect of key managers amounted to 37.0 million euros (36.1 million euros in 2016). The figure breaks down as follows:

    (*) These refer to the fair value of the rights, accrued to December 31, under the share-based incentive plans of TIM S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (2014/2016 Stock Option Plan, Special Award, and Stock Option Plans of the South American subsidiaries).

    (6) of which 0.2 million recorded by Latin American subsidiaries.

     

    (7) of which 0.4 million recorded by Latin American subsidiaries.

    Short-term remuneration is paid during the period it pertains to, and, at the latest, within the six months following the end of that period.

    The employment termination benefit incentives for 2017 related to the amount awarded as a settlement to Flavio Cattaneo.

    With respect to the Special Award, we report that long-term remuneration in 2016 did not include 3.6 million euros of provisions allocated to cover amounts that may be assigned on a discretionary basis to employees or directors of TIM or subsidiaries, because any beneficiaries that also held the role of Managers with Strategic Responsibilities had not yet been identified.

    The beneficiaries of the bonus were identified in June 2017, with Key Managers assigned a total amount of 1,450,000 euros (of which 1,160,000 euros paid in the form of 1,487,178 TIM S.p.A. ordinary shares and for the part remaining from the cash amount).

    Share-based payments for 2016 did not include the effects of the reversal of 3.7 million euros of accruals related to the costs for the 2014-2016 Stock Option Plan.

    In 2017, the contributions paid for defined contribution plans (Assida and Fontedir) by TIM S.p.A. or by subsidiaries of the Group, on behalf of key managers, amounted to 97,000 euros (95,000 euros in 2016).

     

    In 2017, “Key managers”, i.e. those who have the power and responsibility, directly or indirectly, for the planning, direction and control of the operations of the TIM Group, including directors, were the following:
