Retelit SpA : APPROVED THE NEW 2013-2017 INDUSTRIAL PLAN AND THE 2012 PROVISIONAL RESULTS

1. The Retelit S.p.A. Board of Directors, which met today, has approved the 2013 budget and the
2013-2017 Industrial Plan. This plan optimises the specific strategic nature of the Group, focusing on four main areas:
a) growth in wholesale telecommunication services market
b) offer connectivity services to medium-sized private companies
c) offer connectivity services to public administrations, including schools and health structures
d) develop international projects, also in partnership with the Libyan Post
Telecommunication and IT Company (LPTIC), the group's shareholder.
The commercial business will be supported by offering ultrabroadband and IP telecommunications services with high added value, virtual private network (VPN) services and data center services.
The optical fiber network will be extended with backhauling connection projects developed for mobile telecommunications operators; expansion internationally will be assured through the creation of a European backbone network and the opening of representation points at the main interconnection hubs, starting with Frankfurt.

The 2013-2017 Industrial Plan envisages that, in 2017, turnover will reach 73.9 million euro (in
2013, the forecast is 38.5 million), with average annual growth of 17.7%; EBITDA will stand at
26.0 million euro (in 2013 the forecast is 10.7 million), with average annual growth of 24.9%
and net profits starting from 2014.
Total investments envisaged in the plan amount to 75 million euro. Cash generation over the five years is estimated at 42 million euro.
The economic and financial data given in the business plan do not include certain strategic opportunities and other projects of potentially significant impact, which are as yet still at the preliminary analysis stage.
The 2013-2017 Industrial Plan will be presented to the company's top management on 4
March, on the 2nd Family Office Investor Day, an event organised by IR Top to be held from
9.30 am in Milan, at the Intesa Sanpaolo Congress Hall in Piazza Belgioioso.
2. The Board of Directors has approved the provisional 2012 results.
The data show turnover of 37.0 million euro as compared with 35.2 million euro for the previous period (+5% on 2011). EBITDA is 9.7 million euro as compared with 10.7 million euro for the previous period (-9.3% on 2011), mainly due to the increased cost of product sold.
The net financial position at 31 December 2012 is 8.3 million euro, a significant improvement on the 2011 year end figure of 4.7 million euro.
In 2012, investments came to 6.8 million euro and were relative to the development of
connections for customers, adapting the Data Centers and in strengthening the optical fiber network.
