LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2003--Tenaris S.A. (NYSE:TS)

death of Roberto Rocca, the chairman of the board of directors of
Tenaris and the honorary chairman of San Faustin N.V. (Tenaris's

Roberto Rocca was born in 1922 and was the head of the Techint
group of companies (that includes Tenaris), an international group of
companies with operations in the steel, energy, infrastructure,
engineering, construction and public service sectors. Mr. Rocca's
leadership, tireless spirit and creative vision were the inspiration
behind the strength and worldwide reach of the Techint group of
companies.
San Faustin confirmed that no changes in the strategies, policies
or conduct of Tenaris's business are envisaged. The board of directors
of Tenaris will determine, in due course, Mr. Rocca's successor as
chairman of the board.
