This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on February 14^th, 2011 (this “Amendment No. 6”), as further amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5, on behalf of RP STAK, SAN FAUSTIN and TECHINT HOLDINGS (as defined thereunder), relating to the Ordinary Shares, par value $1 per share of Tenaris S.A.
