Europe: Telecom Italia issues new ADRs

Global Finance, Oct 2003

Telecom Italia, Italy's largest fixed-line and mobile telecommunications provider, launched new ADR programs following the merger of the company into Olivetti on August 4, 2003.

Olivetti, the absorbing company in the merger, adopted the Telecom Italia name.

JPMorgan Chase announced sponsored ADR programs for the new Telecom Italia's ordinary and savings shares. Holders of the former Telecom Italia ADRs will have them exchanged for the new ADRs at a ratio of about 3.3 new ADRs for each old one.

The ratio of one ADR to 10 ordinary or savings shares remains unchanged. Telecom Italia's shares are traded on the Italian Stock Exchange.
