What we are doing and what’s next in 2017

Financial flexibility

Plan cash flow from operations to essentially cover capex and

dividends

Ongoing share buyback as a flexible way to manage

shareholder remuneration and financial structure efficiency,:

• As of 2nd March 2017 ca. 64m shares acquired (1.8% of

the share capital) for €233m

• Avg. purchase price: €3.64 per share (-3% vs. VWAP)

Cost of debt and debt structure

Expected funding cost reduction from:

• Latest LM exercise, locking in 2017 benefits

• Management of future refinancing exercises and funding

mix, also leveraging on available market liquidity

Further market upside: more than 200bps of coupon delta

between expiring bonds and potential new issuances over

2017-2021

Enhance fixed rate debt and preserve debt tenor to limit P&L

volatility

Net debt guidance €11.5bn at 2017 YE (incl. € ~0.3bn true up on TAP financing),

2.2% cost of debt

Fixed rate debt: ~ ¾, M/L term maturity: ~ 5 years
