Information on the share is given in the relative section of this management report. 2 Totals for human resource numbers are stated net of transfers on secondment (to and from) other companies in the Group in relation to the significant number of staff working on transfer from UBI Banca at other Group companies and at UBI.S in particular ( (914 at the end of 2008 and 1.072 in 2007). The figure stated therefore represents the number of staff actually employed at UBI Banca to perform the activities of the Parent Bank. 473 UBI Banca S.c.p.A The 2008 and 2007 (pro-forma) reclassified financial statements and reconciliations Notes on the financial statements The mandatory financial statements prepared on the basis of Bank of Italy Circular No. 262 of 22nd December 2005 and subsequent amendments and additions incorporate the balance sheet and income statement figures for the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese from 1st April 2007, the date on which the merger took effect. In order to allow a uniform comparison of the performance of UBI Banc Scpa, pro-forma reclassified financial statements have therefore been prepared as at 31st December 2007, which include the figures relating to the former BLP Group for the full year 2007 and they consequently contain the results for a full 12 month period, rather than nine months from 1st April -31st December 2007. No pro-forma restatement was made for the figures to 31st December 2007 with regard to the contribution by UBI Banca of service and support operations to UBI.S, which took effect from 1st October 2007. The items relating to those operations could not be stated proforma, because they cannot be identified with accuracy. Consequently the figures for the two years are not perfectly comparable. The reclassified balance sheets (and also the mandatory statements) as at 31st December 2007 were affected by a reclassification of repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with an institutional counterparty from the item “net interbank position” to the item “amounts due to/from customers”, which affected the related items in the income statements. This reclassification was necessary in order to align the classification of this counterparty in the former BL and BPU IT systems. In compliance with the international accounting standard IFRS 3, in the financial statements for 2007, the cost of acquisition (at the date of acquisition itself, amounting to 4,1 billion euro) was recognised in both the reclassified and the mandatory balance sheets by allocating it to the fair value of the assets (3,5 billion euro to equity investments) and liabilities of the merged bank, while maintaining the residual components within goodwill (approximately 570 million euro)1. The reclassified income statements include, in turn, the impact of the purchase price allocation, which was positive for UBI Banca by 3,5 million euro (a little more than 1 million euro in 2007). The following rules have been applied to the reclassified statements to allow a vision that is more consistent with a management accounting style: - the tax recoveries recognised under item 190 of the mandatory income statement (other operating income/(expenses) were reclassified as a reduction in indirect taxes included within other administrative expenses; - the item net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes items 170 and 180 in the mandatory financial statements and the instalments relating to the depreciation of costs incurred for improvements to third party assets classified under item 190; - integration costs include leaving incentive plan expenses, the write-off of hardware and software (2007), consultancy costs and promotional and training expenses (2007), recognised within staff costs, net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and other administrative expenses respectively. The reconciliation of the items in the reclassified financial statements with the figures in the mandatory financial statements, prepared on the basis of Bank of Italy Circular No. 262 of 1 An analysis of the method adopted and details of the purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities of the merged bank is given in the 2007 Annual Report in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Part G – Business combinations concerning companies or lines of business, which may be consulted. 474 UBI Banca S.c.p.A 22nd December 2005, has been facilitated, on the one hand, with the insertion in the margin against each item of the corresponding number of the item in the mandatory financial statements with which it is reconciled and, on the other hand, with the preparation of specific reconciliation schedules. The comments on the performance of the main balance sheet and income statement items have been made on the basis of the reclassified financial statements and the pro-forma reclassified financial statements for the comparison periods. In order to facilitate analysis of the UBI Banca’s performance and in compliance with CONSOB Communication No. DEM/6064293 of 28th July 2006, a special schedule has been included in the reclassified financial statements to show the impact on earnings only of the principal nonrecurring events and items – the relative effects on capital and cash flow not being significant, because they are closely linked – which are summarised as follows: full year 2008 - integration costs resulting from the merger between the former BLP and the former BPU; - gains on the disposals of a portion of the interest in UBI Pramerica and on the interest held in Key - Client (formerly CIM Italia) and in Centrale Bilanci; losses on the disposal of interests held in UBI Sistemi e Servizi and in other Group member companies; impairment of the interest held in UBI CentroSystem; impairment of some AFS equity investments (Intesa Sanpaolo, London Stock Exchange, A2A); index-linked policies purchased by customers with underlying securities issued by Icelandic banks now in default; effects of the Lehman Brothers and Bernard Madoff affairs; benefits resulting from tax redemptions on non accounting deductions (Section EC of the income tax return) and from the tax recognition of goodwill; full year 2007 - integration costs resulting from the merger transaction (leaving incentives and other expenses - - including an estimate of write-offs for software and hardware to be abandoned); reform of supplementary pensions; impairment of the indirect investment in HRS-Help Rental Service (put into liquidation in July 2007); an endowment to the Marches Foundation; the non recoverability within the tax consolidation of the prior year tax losses of the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese Spa relating to the first quarter of 2007; gain on Borsa Italiana share exchange; benefit resulting from adjustments to deferred taxes to bring them into line with the new tax rates introduced by the 2008 Finance Act. 475 UBI Banca S.c.p.A Reclassified balance sheet 31.12.2007 pro-forma 31.12.2008 Figures in thousands of euro Changes % change ASSETS 10.

UBI Banca – organisation chart UBI Banca Scpa is a co-operative bank listed on the stock exchange, the parent of the banking group of the same name, with a federal, polyfunctional and integrated organisational model and market focused product range. Within this organisation, the federated Network Banks – each focused on their own geographical areas where they benefit from strong roots in local communities and are responsible for business with their customers – operate with the assistance and support of product companies and of a Parent Bank with duties of management, co-ordination and control. As the Parent Bank, UBI Banca performs the functions of strategic policy-making (formulating the business strategy common to the Group as a whole), of supervising business functions (by supporting and co-ordinating the commercial activities of the network banks and product companies), monitoring risks and providing centralised services (either directly or through subsidiaries). With regard to governance, UBI Banca chose to adopt a dualistic system, with full respect for the prerogatives and specific characteristics of the two corporate bodies which hold distinct responsibilities for supervision and management. The role of supervising the functioning of the Internal System of Control in accordance with article 43 bis of the Corporate By-Laws was assigned to the member of the Management Board Alfredo Gusmini and the role of “Senior executive officer responsible for preparing the company accounting documents under Art. 154 bis of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (consolidated law on finance) was assigned to Elisabetta Stegher. - INTERNAL CONTROL COMMITTEE SUPERVISORY BOARD - REMUNERATION COMMITTEE - APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE - ACCOUNTING COMMITEE SUPPORT TO THE SUPERVISORY BOARD (A.

Human resources As at 31st December 2008 the employees of UBI Banca numbered 2.259, a reduction compared to 2.295 at the end of 2007. The reduction by 36 persons was the result of 158 appointments (52 relating to intragroup transfers) and 194 staff leaving consisting of 16 under early retirement schemes, 82 applying to the “Solidarity Fund” and 45 due to intragroup transfers. In terms of staff actually working for the Parent Bank – the “work force” calculated by adjusting the numbers of employees to take account of staff on secondment from and to other Group member companies as well as staff working under agency leasing contracts – there was an increase of 73 related primarily to the centralisation of operations in accordance with the Business Plan. Composition of personnel by "work force" 31.12.2008 Employees of UBI Banca Staff on secondment at other Group member companies Staff on secondment from other Group member companies Total empl oyees in service at UBI Banca Workers on agency staff leasing contracts (**) TOTAL W ORK FORCE 31.12.2007 (*) Change 2.259 2.295 -1.122 -1.175 -36 53 383 338 45 1.520 46 1.458 35 62 11 1.566 1.493 73 (*) The figures as at 31st December 2007 were adjusted to take account of Mercati Finanziari Sim staff, merged with effect from 1st January 2008. (*) Staff leasing, regulated by Legislative Decree No, 276 of 10th September 2003, replaced the temporary agency work contracts regulated by Law No. 196 of 24th June 1997. As can be seen from the table which gives the composition of the workforce, at the end of year 1.122 staff were on secondment to other Group member companies, more than 80% (for a total of 914) consisting of personnel working at UBI Sistemi e Servizi (UBI.S). In this respect trade union agreements relating to the business assets transferred from UBI Banca to UBI Sistemi e Servizi were concluded and on the basis of these and given the complexity of the organisational redundancy processes and how quickly the capital contribution was implemented, non executive personnel will remain as employees of UBI Banca and at the same time they have been placed on temporary secondment at UBI.S until 31st December 2010, while the employment contracts of the staff concerned will in any case be transferred to UBI.S from 1st January 2011. As can be seen from the table which gives the composition of personnel by level, there were no significant changes in the percentage distribution of employees in service at UBI Banca compared to the previous year. Composition of personnel by management level 31.12.2008 % 31.12.2007 % Senior managers 140 9,2% 142 9,7% Middle managers 3rd and 4th level 388 25,5% 379 26,0% Middle managers 1st and 2nd level 309 20,3% 284 19,5% 3rd P rofessional Area (office staff) 677 44,6% 637 43,7% 6 0,4% 16 1,1% 1.520 100,0% 1.458 100,0% 1st and 2nd P rofessional Area (other personnel) TOTAL EM PLOYEES IN SERVICE AT UBI BANCA The average age of the employees of UBI Banca at the end of 2008 was 41 years and 10 months, unchanged compared to 2007, while the average length of service was 13 years and 11 months (14 years in 2007). The percentage of female personnel was 33,6%, the same as for the Group and approximately half a percentage point higher than at the end of 2007. 484 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Training, the integration of human resources and trade union relations are activities coordinated at Group level and they are dealt with in the relative sub-sections of the section “human resources” in the consolidated management report which may be consulted. 485 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The macroeconomic scenario Information on the context in which UBI Banca operated during the year is provided in the section “The macroeconomic scenario” of the report on consolidated operations. Traditional banking business Funding Direct funding from customers, consisting of liability item 20 “due to customers” and liability item 30 “securities issued”, had almost reached 20 billion euro at the end of the 2008, an increase of 2,4 billion euro (+13,8%) compared to the previous year. As can be seen from the table, despite the partial change in the composition of the item with an increase in funding from customers (which more than doubled over twelve months, from almost 2,9 billion euro to 5,8 billion euro), securities issued, accounting for 70,8% of the total, continue to represent the principal source of funding, consistent with the functions of UBI Banca as the centralised manager of liquidity for the Group. Securities issued as at 31st December 2008 – consisting entirely of bonds – amounted to 14,1 billion euro, a slight decrease (-3,6%) compared to the end of 2007, attributable primarily to changes in institutional funding from EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) securities, which fell by 1,1 billion euro (-8,4%)1.

(**) The figure relates to deposits made by BPB Funding LLC for a nominal amount of 300 million and by BPCI Funding LLC for a nominal amount of 115,001 million. (***) Subordinated securities included a deposit purchased by Banca Lombarda Preferred Capital Co Llc for a nominal amount of 155 million euro. 1That part of the total securities issued by UBI Banca not attributable to institutional funding (EMTN) and to intragroup transactions (securities purchased by Group banks) – amounting to 1,6 billion euro (1 billion at the end of 2007) – includes the listed bond “UBI Subordinato Lower Tier II a tasso variabile con ammortamento 28.11.2008-2015” issued in November 2008 to customers of the network banks of the Group for a nominal amount of 599.4 million euro. 486 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. At the end of the year funding on international markets performed within the EMTN programme amounted to a nominal 12,2 billion euro (2 billion euro in subordinated form), with a maximum ceiling authorised by the London listing authority on 17th September 2008 of 15 billion euro2. At total of only two new issues were performed in 2008 between May and June in private form for a total nominal amount of 260 million euro against redemptions of approximately 1.416 million euro (200 million relating to a subordinated lower tier 3 security). EMTN securities amounting to 3,6 billion euro mature in 2009 (including 1,35 billion euro already redeemed at the date of this report) and a further 1,4 billion euro will mature in 2010. All the EMTN securities are admitted for trading: the new UBI Banca issues and those originally issued by the former BPU Banca on the London stock exchange; those issued by the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese on the Luxembourg stock exchange. The low level of resort to international institutional funding reflects the liquidity crisis which has affected markets for more than a year now and which has caused a significant broadening of the spread requested by investors. In this context UBI Banca has suspended issues since the fourth quarter of 2007, despite the existence of securities that are maturing, as it seeks to diversify its sources of funding. In this respect authorisation formalities for the programme to issue covered bonds pursuant to article 7 bis of Law No. 130/1999 were completed by the Parent Bank, UBI Banca. This programme, which was presented at the beginning of July on a road show in major European financial centres, is for maximum issues of 10 billion euro. The bonds, which have already been given a “triple A” preliminary rating by the agencies Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings will be listed on the London Stock Exchange. No issuances of these instruments have been performed yet as a result of the continuing difficult conditions on markets. UBI Banca intends to monitor the situation carefully in order to take advantage of any opportunities for funding that may arise in 2009. Net of the institutional component consisting of the EMTN issues, the direct funding of the Parent Bank at the end of year amounted to 7,6 billion euro compared to 4,1 billion in December 2007 (+87,3%). Finally with regard to amounts due to customers, the details of the different types of funding given in the notes to the accounts (Part B, Section 2 of the balance sheet liabilities part, Table 2.1) show that the growth in the total (+3 billion euro over twelve months) is attributable principally to repurchase agreement transactions with the Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia (central counterparty clearing), as part of the policy to diversify funding already mentioned. These transactions totalled 3,4 billion euro, of which 1,9 billion euro (468 million euro in December 2007) relating to “repurchase agreements against assets transferred not derecognised” and 1,5 billion euro to “financing in repurchase agreements” for which the underlying derives from IW Power products sold by IW Bank to its customers (not present at the end of 2007). Finally indirect funding from ordinary customers as at 31st December 2008 amounted to 58 thousand euro, compared to 62 thousand in the previous year, consisting mainly of securities under custody. Within the item, assets under management fell to 5 thousand euro from 6 thousand euro in December 2007. 2 The programme currently in existence is the result, not only of the new issuances performed by UBI Banca, but also of bonds originally issued under the programmes of the former BPU Banca and of the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese, with maximum limits of 10 billion euro and 6 billion euro respectively. Following the merger of Banca Lombarda e Piemontese into BPU Banca, the issuing programme of the merged bank was no longer renewed. General meetings of the bondholders have been convened with regard to five bonds, issued for a total of 3,750 million euro as part of the programme of the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese, and to a private placement for 25 million euro performed in 2000 as part of a programme of the former Banca Popolare di Bergamo-CV, in order to bring the relative sets of regulations into line with those of the other bonds in issue. 487 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Lending At the end of December Parent Bank lending exceeded 10,4 billion euro, almost unchanged compared to 10,3 billion euro twelve months previously.

This change reflects longer funding maturities in the leasing sector, designed to ensure a closer matching of maturities between assets and liabilities. At the end of 2008 almost all of the longer term lending (approximately 3,7 billion euro) was to UBI Leasing, a company formed during the year from the merger of BPU Esaleasing into SBS Leasing. The item “other transactions” – which also continues to represent the main type of lending – includes lending by UBI Banca to UBI Leasing (3,9 billion euro) and UBI Factor (2 billion euro). Reverse repurchase agreements with counterparties outside the Group were reduced as part of a policy to optimise liquidity management. Transactions existing at the end of the year amounted to just 3 million euro, down from 554 million euro at the end of 2007. The ratio of lending to funding in December had fallen to 52,4% from 58,6% in the previous year in relation to the different trends that had affected the two aggregates. This ratio also reflects the particular nature of the banking business performed by UBI Banca as the Parent Bank. Given the prevalent intragroup nature of its lending, net non performing loans, down by 7% to 849 thousand euro, amounted again to a very negligible percentage of the total (0,008%). As concerns periodic reporting of large risks, at the end of 2008 BPU Banca had no positions exceeding 10% of the supervisory capital, positions with companies forming part of the banking group being excluded from this reporting. Finally guarantees granted amounted to more than 1,3 billion euro, a decrease of 8,3% compared to approximately 1,5 billion euro at the end of 2007. They were composed as follows: financial guarantees of 859 million euro, consisting of 656 million euro on behalf of UBI Factor, 123,4 million euro on behalf of BPCI Funding Llc and 41,5 million euro on behalf of UBS leasing; commercial guarantees of 481 million euro. These consisted of 132,2 million euro on behalf of UBI Leasing, 120 million euro on behalf of Coralis Rent, 40 million euro on behalf of Aviva Assicurazioni Vita and 10 million euro on behalf of Aviva Vita, while the remaining portion was on behalf of ordinary customers. 488 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Operations on the interbank market The net interbank position at the end 2008 was positive by 566 million euro, compared to a negative position of 797 million euro twelve months previously. As already mentioned, UBI Banca acts as the centralised manager of Group liquidity and it therefore performs a high level of intragroup interbank transactions.

Intragroup transactions intensified during the course of the year in order to optimise the use of all internal financial resources. In detail, a rebalancing of the growth in lending and funding with customers performed in the fourth quarter at Group level enabled UBI Banca to reduce its resort to funding on the market and to thereby improve its net debt position. The consolidated management report may be consulted for full information on the action taken to address difficulties encountered on the interbank liquidity market. Loans to banks, as at 31st December, net of the compulsory reserve requirements held with the central bank, amounted to 28,3 billion euro, an increase of 44,9% (+8,8 billion euro) compared to the end of 2007. Lower exposures on current account overdrafts (-5,8 billion euro) were offset by greater lending consisting of term deposits (+2,7 billion euro), “other financing” (+3,4 billion euro) and debt securities issued by the banks in the Group (+8,5 billion euro). The latter (totalling 13,5 billion euro) were used in part (6,8 billion euro) to support repurchase agreement business with the customers of the Network Banks. The growth in “other financing” on the other hand, was primarily attributable to reverse repurchase agreements used by the banks in the Group to transfer securities eligible for refinancing to the Parent Bank. A position existed at the end of the year amounting to 2,5 billion euro performed against the securitisation of B@nca 24-7 mortgage loans, together with another transaction amounting to 1,5 billion euro on securities held by IW Bank customers (IW Power acounts). Amounts due to banks, net of the exposure to the central bank (400 million of repurchase agreements performed using part of the securities resulting from the securitisation of B@nca 24-7 Mortgage loans as the underlying), amounted to 28,3 billion euro, an increase of 42% (+8,4 billion euro) compared to twelve months previously. The change relates principally to the 489 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. increase in term deposits (+5,8 billion euro) and repurchase agreements (+2,3 billion euro), consisting largely of positions with Group member companies.

At the end of 2008 the net interbank position was a creditor position with regard to B@nca 247 (8,5 billion), Centrobanca (5,6 billion), Banco San Giorgio (0,8 billion), Banco di Brescia (0,3 billion), Banca di Valle Camonica (5 million). On the contrary, however, the net interbank position with regard to Banca Carime (-4,8 billion), Banca Popolare di Bergamo (-4,5 billion), Banca Popolare Commercio e Industria (-0,9 billion), IW Bank and Banca Regionale Europea (-0,4 billion), Banca Popolare di Ancona (0,3 billion), UBI Banca International (-0,2 billion) was negative. 490 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Financial activities UBI Banca did not use the option granted by the recent amendments to IAS 39 and it has therefore not performed any reclassification of financial assets currently held in portfolio (see the notes to the financial statements, Part A – Accounting policies). At the end of 2008 UBI Banca held total financial assets amounting to 7,3 billion euro, compared to 7 billion euro in December 2007 (+3,3%). As can be seen from the table, the basic stability in the total was nevertheless accompanied by large changes in the composition of the different types of investment that occurred during the year, primarily for requirements related to the liquidity management of the Group. Net of financial liabilities held for trading, consisting essentially of financial derivatives, the aggregate amounted to 6,1 billion euro compared to 6,2 billion euro at the end of 2007 (-2,4%). The worsening of the world financial crisis led to the default of major financial institutions in the second half of the year, which was then added to by situations of fraudulent trading. The information already reported in the same section of the consolidated management report may be consulted for details.

They are recognised at fair value through profit or loss – FVPL. At the end of year financial assets held for trading amounted to 2,4 billion euro, a decrease of 12% compared to 2,8 billion euro in the previous year. It will be recalled that this accounting class also includes the portfolio entrusted to the Group’s asset management company under the mandate granted to it for an investment amounting to 1,6 billion euro for 2008. On the basis of that mandate, management is performed following a capital protection strategy, which guarantees a level of capital protection on maturity of 96,84% and involves investments of approximately 10%-15% of the assets granted for management in asset instruments (mainly equities), while the remainder is managed by the use of derivative and monetary instruments. Investments in European equities amounting to approximately 123 million euro existed at the end of the year, in addition to various open positions in futures on equity indices. 491 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Deri vati ve i nstruments Fin an cial derivatives Credit derivatives Total B TOTAL (A+B) In detail, debt securities – inclusive of “assets transferred not derecognised”, i.e. debt securities used as the underlying assets for repurchase agreements – amounted to 1.012 million euro, compared to 1.564 million at the end of 2007. The decrease is attributable to the sale and/or maturity of securities (only partially repurchased in the fourth quarter of the year and used mainly to support repurchase agreement business), which were replaced with new investments classified within availablefor-sale and held-to-maturity assets. Debt securities also included direct investments in “Asset Backed Securities” (ABS – financial instruments issued as part of securitisation transactions) amounting to 69 million euro1 (120,2 million euro in December 2007), consisting of: - a Collateral Debt Obligation (“CBO Investment Jersey Ltd 1999-2013”), amounting to 44,3 million euro (partially redeemed compared to 67,4 million euro twelve months previously), with the underlying consisting of securities issued by supranational institutions (EIB and World Bank); - a securitisation of publicly owned assets by the Italian government amounting to 0,4 million euro (from the Mercati Finanziari Sim portfolio, merged into UBI Banca on 4th March 2008); - own securitisations amounting to 24,3 million euro (also partially redeemed compared to the original 52,8 million euro at the end of 2007), relating to Orio Finance (RMBS securities). As concerns equity instruments, these rose from 45,6 million euro to 141,8 million euro primarily as a result of the investments already mentioned in European equities made by the Group’s asset management company (approximately 123 million euro) under the management mandate granted to it. Investments in equity instruments, other than those classified as companies subject to control, joint control and significant influence, made as part of merchant banking and private equity activities, amounted to 18,8 million euro, (22 million euro at the end of December 2007). Investments in O.I.C.R. units (collective investment instruments) include investments in hedge funds made before 30th June 2007 and still existing, amounting to 48,3 million euro, a reduction compared to 562,8 million euro in the previous year (-91,4%). 1 If the 179,8 million euro included in the AFS portfolio (59,7 million euro in December 2007) is also considered, total investments in ABS Securities by UBI Banca amounted to 248,8 million euro (179,9 million euro at the end of 2007). 492 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The disinvestments made during the year were offset by purchases designated at fair value (asset item 30 on the balance sheet). The following section, “financial assets at fair value”, may therefore be consulted for a full picture of investments in these financial instruments. Financial assets held for trading include impaired assets amounting to 0,3 million euro, relating to the presumed realisable value of a bond issued by Lehman Brothers (further information is given in the subsequent section “exposures to some counterparties”). Assets held for trading also include assets in respect of derivative instruments, almost entirely of a financial nature, for which changes must be interpreted in strict relation to the corresponding item recognised within financial liabilities held for trading. These derivatives, consisting mainly of contracts on interest rates, increased over twelve months from 581 million euro to 1.222 million euro as a result of both an increase in the fair value and increased trading in them, which included intragroup trading. Financial liabilities held for trading (liability item 40) Financial liabilities amounted to 1.222 million euro, compared to 842 million in December 2007 (+45,1%). They consisted almost entirely of financial derivatives (1.215 million euro) and had more than doubled compared to twelve months previously. As already reported for financial assets held for trading, the increase in those derivatives, consisting almost entirely of contracts on interest rates, relates to both the changes in fair value and to the greater volumes of business, which included transactions with Group member companies. Amounts due to customers, amounting to just 5 million euro compared to 243 million euro twelve months previously, relate to uncovered short positions, for which commitments to purchase are recognised here. The large reduction is due to the limitations imposed by the Consob (Italian securities market authority) on uncovered sales.

Units in O.I.C.R. (collective investment instruments), which now constitute the whole of this item, increased to 460,2 million euro from 158 million euro in the previous year. It should be considered that hedge funds are not only classified within assets designated at fair value, but also within assets held for trading in the amount of 48,3 million euro as reported in the preceding section. Total investments in hedge funds as at 31st December 2008 therefore amounted to 508,5 million euro, a decrease of 29,4% compared to 720,7 million euro in 2007, attributable primarily to the negative change in fair value recorded over twelve months. The investment in hedge funds was affected principally by the turbulence on financial markets in 2008, but also by the effects of the Madoff case which resulted in the complete write-down in the accounts of four funds held in portfolio (58,2 milioni di euro). The guidelines given by internal policy nevertheless helped to guarantee diversification on several levels: in terms of the strategy for investment in a single fund as well as in a single asset management company (see the notes to the financial statements, Part E, market risk in this respect). Furthermore, as a consequence of the intensification of difficulties on financial markets, action was commenced during the year to progressively reduce the hedge fund portfolio in order to contain risk (VaR). Redemption requests as at 31st December 2008 involved 47 funds for approximately 320 million euro. However, 7 funds, for an investment of 15,5 million euro, had temporarily suspended redemptions, while another 18 funds, amounting to 118 million euro, declared that they were implementing a deferred repayment plan (known as a “gate”) as permitted by their respective regulations. At the date of this report hedge funds amounting to 165 million euro (net of portfolio writedowns and redemption fees) had actually been redeemed. Requests for redemption for a total of 230 million euro currently exist (83 million euro made since 1st January 2009) relating to 43 hedge funds including 10 funds amounting to 17 million euro, which have temporarily suspended redemptions and 18 funds, for an amount of 116 million euro, which have applied a “gate” on the redemption programme. Debt securities held at the end of December 2007 amounting to 823 million euro related to residual investments in capitalisation certificates which were eliminated during 2008 (early reimbursement on 23 policies and while another two reached maturity). It will be recalled that gradual disinvestment from these policies had begun in the last quarter of 2006 because as a result of the changed market conditions they were no longer able to generate an adequate return on the portfolio in terms of extra yield. The reimbursements increased in the second half of 2007 in relation to the emergence of difficulties on the interbank liquidity market. The amounts freed up in 2008 were largely directed towards the purchase of securities eligible for refinancing with the European Central Bank. 494 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Available-for-sale financial assets (asset item 40) These assets are measured at fair value with the recognition of changes in a separate valuation reserve in shareholders’ equity, except for losses due to reductions in value that are considered significant or prolonged. In this case the reduction in value that occurred during the year is increased or decreased by the negative or positive reserve that may have been recognised in equity previously.

The growth in the item is attributable to greater investments in debt securities, which more than doubled over twelve months (from 1.043 million euro to 2.219 million euro). These investments form part of general liquidity management at Group level, which led at the same time to the disinvestment in debt securities classified within assets held for trading and assets designated at fair value (capitalisation policies). The increase in debt securities was also the result of greater direct investments in “Asset Backed Securities” (ABS – financial instruments issued against securitisations), which tripled to 179,8 million euro. These included 130,3 million euro relating to INPS (national insurance institute) securitisations (59,7 million euro in December 2007), 46,1 million euro relating to securitisations by a major Italian bank (new investment in 2008) and 3,4 million euro to an own securitisation in relation to Lombarda Lease Finance 4, class C, mezzanine securities (new investment). At the end of the year total ABS investments, inclusive of the 69 million euro recognised in the trading portfolio, amounted to 248,8 million euro compared to 179,9 million euro in December 2007. The section “financial activities” in the consolidated management report may be consulted for further information on exposures in ABS instruments and special purpose entities (SPEs). Equity instruments amounted to 462,2 million euro, compared to 922,7 million euro in December 2007. The change recorded in this item is attributable primarily to the reduction in the fair value of the listed equity instruments recognised within it (shareholdings that are not classified as companies subject to control, joint control and significant influence and that are not held for merchant banking and private equity activities), caused by the unfavourable performance of financial markets and the exceptional circumstances affecting them globally. Some available-for-sale financial assets have been subject to impairment in relation to the continuing weakness of markets. These include the investments in Intesa Sanpaolo2, the fair value of which fell to 353,1 million euro from 756,5 million euro as at 31st December 2007, in the London Stock Exchange (formerly Borsa Italiana), valued at 8,5 million euro, down from 2 UBI Banca holds 1,18% of the share capital with voting rights. 495 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 42,9 million at the end of 2007 and in A2A, down to 14,2 million euro from 34,7 million twelve months previously (see the notes to the financial statements, Part B, Assets, Section 4). Finally the disposal of the interest held in Centrale dei Bilanci, recognised within assets at the end of 2007, amounting to 1,9 million euro, resulted in a gain of 8,1 million euro. The investment in O.I.C.R. units (collective investment instruments) amounting to 86,2 million euro, decreased by 9 million euro compared to the previous year. The item also includes property funds totalling 22,8 million euro (approximately 34 million euro at the end of 2007), including 14,2 million euro in respect of the Fondo Polis (24,5 million euro in December 2007) recognised within listed funds. The change recognised at the end of the year in shareholders’ equity attributable to gains and losses on securities not subject to impairment was negative by 16,9 million euro. Held-to-maturity financial assets (asset item 50) This class of assets (held-to-maturity) includes securities which it is intended and it is possible to hold until maturity. They are recognised at amortised cost.

These also include issues by major banks for a nominal amount of 350 million euro (358 million euro the book value), with “Constant Maturity Swap” (CMS) indexing with variable annual coupons indexed to the 10 year swap rate. The market value of the securities classified within this item as at 31st December 2008 recorded a loss – not recognised – amounting to 77,1 million euro (see the relative table in the notes to the financial statements, Part B, Assets, Section 5). Exposures to some counterparties A report is given below on exposures of UBI Banca to major international counterparties who have suffered financial collapse or are responsible for fraudulent operations, which have had significant impacts on the Italian financial market. 496 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Lehman Brothers On 15th September 2008 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy with the US Bankruptcy Court in order to “reorganise” its operations3. The exposure of UBI Banca to this company in default and to other companies controlled by it regarded bonds for a nominal amount of 4 million euro and derivative instruments. The bonds were classified in the accounts as at 31st December 2008 within impaired assets in the trading portfolio and recognised on the basis of the presumed realisable value, equal to 8,625%4 of the nominal value amounting to 0,345 million euro. The consequent write-down performed – 3,5 million euro – was recognised within item 80 of the income statement. Income relating to those financial instruments has no longer been recognised since 15th September 2008. As concerns operations in OTC derivatives, following the announcement of the default, UBI Banca suspended payments from 15th September, to all the companies in the Lehman Group with which ISDA contracts had been taken out. It was then decided to proceed to the early termination of all the contracts, as permitted by the terms of the existing ISDA contracts, freezing the relative mark-to-market values and restoring hedges which had lapsed with the same number of contracts entered into on the market. On 12th November 2008, a statement was prepared with regard to Lehman Brothers International (Europe) reporting a credit position of 664.237,15 dollars (relating to currencies and currency derivatives). This cannot be offset against the debt position with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (described later in this sub-section) and therefore these receivables, considered net of the end of year currency translation effect, were valued as recoverable on the basis of the same rate of 8,625% applied to the securities held in portfolio. The consequent write-down, amounting to 438 thousand euro, was recognised within item 130a of the income statement and the remaining receivables, amounting to 41.391 euro, were stated within loans to customers, under the item non performing loans. On 14th November 2008 a UBI Banca statement was prepared in relation to Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. reporting a debt position amounting to 2.366.669,18 dollars (relating to interest rate derivatives) recognised within amounts due to customers-other. A cross currency swap contract entered into with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc.,5 which expired on 17th October 2008 and involved a payment by UBI Banca to LBSF of 52 million dollars and a payment by LBSF to UBI Banca of 5.877.180.000 Japanese yen was not included in the statements just mentioned. An amount of 4,4 million euro was due from LBSF on the expiration date based on exchange rates at the end of 2008, equal to the balance on the amounts receivable and payable, fully written down and recognised within item 130a of the income statement. While the amount receivable was not included in the statements made, the Bank intends to file a claim at the United States bankruptcy proceedings as soon as the dates and procedures in that respect are announced. 3 As concerns other companies in the Lehman Group, on 15th September 2008 Lehman Brothers International (Europe) was placed into administration proceedings by order of the UK High Court of Justice, while Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on 3rd October 2008. 4 This is the recovery rate calculated on the basis of the auction price of CDSs on Lehman loans set on 10th October 2008 in New York. 5 The reasons are because the transaction was performed by means of swift messages. In accordance with section 9(e) of the ISDA master agreement entered into by UBI Banca and Lehman Brothers Special Financing on 28th February 2000, an exchange of electronic messages may only constitute an official confirmation (and therefore take effect according to the rules of the master agreement) if this is specified in the messages themselves. This was not performed in the swift messages in question. Furthermore the schedule of the master agreement does not include the "1992 User's Guide language on electronic messaging" which could have had the effect of conferring the validity of a confirmation on the exchange of swift messages, even in the absence of an explicit specification. 497 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Default of Icelandic Banks Following the affairs which threw world financial markets into turmoil in September 2008, the Icelandic government was obliged to nationalise all the banks in the country since they were unable to honour their obligations. As already anticipated in the interim financial report to 30th September 2008, three index linked policies (ZOOM TEAM 25, ZOOM BRIC 40 “5+5” and BRIC 40 “5+5”) were sold to UBI Banca Group customers through Aviva Assicurazioni Vita (formerly UBI Assicurazioni Vita and controlled by Aviva Italia Holding Spa since 18th June 2008) and Aviva Vita, for which the performance (minimum return and repayment of capital on maturity) is linked to underlying securities issued and guaranteed by two of the three principal Icelandic banks. At the time when the contracts were entered into, these had ratings higher than those required by the ISVAP (insurance authority) regulations in force. The banks were Glitnir Bank (formerly Islandsbanki Hf) with a Fitch rating of A and a Moody’s rating of A1 and Kaupthing Bank Hf with a Fitch rating of A and a Moody’s rating of Aa3. Following the defaults, the total capital invested by our customers in those policies, amounting to 73 million euro, has fallen to close to zero. In consideration of the exceptional and non recurring nature of the event – which involved not only individual financial operators but the whole financial system of a developed country which enjoyed high ratings before the crisis – Aviva Vita and UBI Banca have studied the impact of the events just described, in order to assess the possible repercussions and to adopt a position to properly protect the 4.420 customers who held policies, with the objective of safeguarding the value of the investment as much as possible in the medium-to-long term once the current acute crisis is over. The negotiations conducted led the Bank to hypothesise the following action: - deferred recovery of the entire capital invested by customers; - bearing the cost in respect of the present value of the investment, estimated at present, at 40 million euro net of possible recoveries, relating almost totally to the product companies of the Group. The provision made in the financial statements of UBI Banca amounted to 1,5 million euro (an addition to provisions for liabilities and charges). The Bernard Madoff affair The fraud committed by Bernard Madoff and the company that bears his name came to light in December when it was given broad coverage in all the international press. The exposure of UBI Banca to “Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC” concerned the hedge fund portfolio only and totalled 59,5 million euro, as follows: 40,7 million euro consisting of three funds for which Madoff’s company performed the role of both “investment advisor” and “execution broker”: - an investment in Kingate Euro Fund of 22,8 million euro, held since November 2004; - an investment in Kingate Global Fund of 11,2 million euro, held in portfolio since August 2002; - an investment in Fairfield Sigma Ltd of 6,7 million euro, held since September 2003; 17,5 million euro in a European registered fund Thema International Euro Class, listed on the Irish stock market and held in portfolio since May 2004. The role of “custodian” of the fund, performed by HSBC Institutional Trust Services Ltd (Ireland), had been delegated to Madoff’s company, a possibility provided for in the custody contract. The four funds just mentioned formed part of budgeted hedge fund portfolio investments to be maintained in 2009, particularly in consideration of their positive track record certified by 498 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. PricewaterhouseCoopers. In view of the events that occurred, requests to redeem the investments were sent in after 15th December 2008. 1,3 million euro of investments in hedge funds (indirect exposures). However, no on- or off-balance sheet exposures to Bernard Madoff and/or his company exist. Before the fraudulent management came to light, the hedge funds just mentioned held in portfolio by UBI Banca – mainly classified as held for trading – had recorded increases in fair value of 4 million euro, to give a total stated value of 58,2 million euro. That amount had been written down to zero as at 31st December 2008 in consideration of the great uncertainty over the possibility of recovering it. As concerns the Thema International fund, there may be a possibility of recovery from HSBC as the “custodian” under the terms of the contract. UBI Banca is following the preparation of the cases against Madoff and the other parties involved in the affair (fund managers, depositary banks, auditors and supervisory authorities) directly, assisted by an international law firm in order to protect the best interests of the Bank. 499 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The income statement The comments on the income statement relate to the pro-forma reclassified financial statements – the income statement, the quarterly income statements and the income statement net of the main non-recurring items – contained in the relative section of this report in which the figures for UBI Banca Scpa to 31st December 2008 have been compared with the pro-forma figures to 31st December 2007. In order to provide consistent and uniform information, the tables furnishing details have been reclassified and restated proforma in the same manner for 2007. The explanatory notes that precede the reclassified financial statements may be consulted as may the reconciliation schedules for a description of the reclassification and also for details of the restatement of the comparative pro-forma figures and of the PPA allocation. It will also be recalled that on 1st October 2007, UBI Banca contributed its “ICT and organisation” operations to UBI.S, the subsidiary responsible for the centralised provision of services, functions and processing common to all Group banks and companies and this modified the composition of the income of the Parent Bank compared to the subsequent comparative periods. The first full year of operations of UBI Banca Scpa took place in an operating context which began to progressively deteriorate in the summer. The scenario that then unfolded was constantly exposed to violent tensions and was only initially limited to financial markets, the instruments traded on them and operators in the sector. This had its effect on the income structure of the Bank, affecting all items connected with financial activities which, as a result, amongst other things, of the accounting rule for recognising reductions in fair value, generated 488 million euro of write-downs on equities classified as available-for-sale. Despite this, 2008 ended with a net profit of 23,9 million euro, an appreciable reduction compared to 820,4 million euro in 2007. If non-recurring items are excluded – negative on aggregate by 417,7 million euro in 2008 and positive by approximately 81 million euro in 2007 – net profit rises to 441,6 million euro compared to 739,4 million euro in the previous year. Examination of the reclassified income statement shows that operating income amounted to 640,1 million euro, compared to 1.165,2 million euro in the previous year, reflecting the negative result for financial activities, the lower dividends received and also the greater negative balance on net interest income. The income statement continues to be supported by the contribution from the item dividends and similar income, amounting to 904,4 million euro, because of the particular structure that distinguishes the Parent Bank. As shown in the Dividends and similar income table, the partial decrease that occurred with 31.12.2007 respect to the amount of 972,3 million euro 31.12.2008 pro-forma recorded in 2007 occurred in relation to the Figures in thousands of euro equity investments in Group member Banca Popolare di Bergamo Spa 305.658 268.220 companies, which distributed approximately 68 Banco di Brescia Spa 178.863 177.990 million euro less in profits.

In detail3: - the item business with customers (which recorded a negative balance of 441 million euro, up by 20 million euro) was affected by the increased costs of securities issued (+45 million euro), and more specifically the cost of the securities issued in the EMTN programme where the indexing is linked to short term rates (the most exposed to the large fluctuations recorded in the last quarter of the year). Similarly the amounts due to customers component also recorded an increase in interest paid (+40,3 million euro), resulting from greater volumes of business during the year with the Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia (central counterparty clearing) consisting primarily of repurchase agreements. It must nevertheless be considered that the interest generated by financing to customers (the leasing and factoring companies of the Group) increased by 83,2 million euro compared to 2007; - business on the interbank market gradually turned to focus on transactions with the banks in the Group in order to support their lending business with customers and also to rationalise funding, in a context of developing a structural balance between the income and expenses of each bank. The intensive use of internal financial resources (also to partially offset difficulties encountered in market transactions), which involved less resort to interbank borrowing above all in the fourth quarter of the year, resulted in the generation of a positive net balance on interest from banks amounting to 3,6 million euro compared to the negative balance of 11,6 million euro in the previous year; Interest and similar income: composition P erforming financial assets Figures in tho us ands o f euro Impaired Other financial Debt Financing securities 31.12.2008 assets assets 31.12.2007 pro-forma Financial assets held for trading 19.640 - - - 19.640 52.719 Financial assets at fair value 22.023 - - - 22.023 80.376 Available-for-sale financial assets 60.706 - - - 60.706 9.713 Held-to-maturity financial assets 17.189 - - - 17.189 18.407 Loans to banks Loans to customers 184.879 688.390 - - 873.269 658.057 7.563 422.181 - - 429.744 346.567 Hedging derivatives - Financial assets transferred not derecognised X 420.553 Other assets X Total 732.553 X - X - - - - - 420.553 172.339 1.201 1.201 1.743 - 1.201 1.844.325 1.339.921 31.12.2008 31.12.2007 pro-forma (582.100) X 1.110.571 Interest and similar expense: composition Liabilities and payables Figures in tho us ands o f euro Other liabilities Due to banks (836.717) X - (836.717) Due to customers (128.226) X - (128.226) (87.893) (715.296) - (715.296) (670.342) (2.669) (17.483) - - (399.138) (175.165) Securities issued X Financial liabilities held for trading (2.669) Financial liabilities for assets transferred not derecognised (399.138) Other liabilities X X (462) (462) (317) Hedging derivatives X X (12.606) (12.606) (2.424) (715.296) (13.068) (2.095.114) (1.535.724) (250.789) (195.803) Total (1.366.750) Net interest income - Securities the portfolio of securities owned generated interest inflows of 185,8 million euro, a reduction of 49,4 million euro compared to 2007, mainly as a result of the absence of the 1 Net interest income includes the financial expense that UBI Banca incurs against investments in Group subsidiaries, while the related financial income is fuelled by the item dividends. 2 The average annual one month Euribor rate rose from 4,135% in 2007 to 4,351% in 2008. 3 The calculation of net balances was performed by allocating interest income and expense on repurchase agreements and hedging derivatives within the different areas of business (financial, with banks, with customers). 501 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. component consisting of capitalisation policies recognised within financial designated at fair value, for which the interest decreased by 58,4 million euro. assets Net commissions amounted to 13,2 million euro, compared to 19,2 million euro previously. While commission expense remained stable, there was a fall in commission income, mainly in relation to collection and payment services (-3,5 million euro) and to management, trading and advisory services (-3,8 million euro) and to the items stock market orders and depository bank services in particular. It must also be stated that the Parent Bank – which performs specific operational support functions for the Network Banks, for which it incurs commission expense that is then invoiced on the basis of intragroup contracts recognised within other operating income – would structurally record negative income from services in any event, an effect which has been reduced since 2007 following the centralisation of depository bank activities at UBI Banca.

As already reported in periodic interim financial reporting, historically untypical volatility in securities prices first appeared in the summer which then transformed into falls in prices, especially following the Lehman Brothers affair, which hit share prices and OICR units (collective investment instruments) indiscriminately wherever they were listed and whichever sector they represented. The negative result for the year also included the following losses classified within nonrecurring items: 58,2 million euro relating to four “Madoff funds” held in portfolio, for which the amount was entirely written off in view of the extreme uncertainty over the possibility of recovering it and 3,5 million euro in respect of the write-down of Lehman securities (see also the section “Financial activities” in the consolidated management report). In detail, net profit from trading amounted to -83,3 million euro (+36,8 million in 2007), consisting of -33,7 million euro on equity instruments (-14,4 million euro) and -86,6 million euro on investments in hedge funds (+31,2 million euro), only partially offset by the positive performance amounting to 31,2 million euro (+20 million euro) by trading in debt securities and the relative derivative instruments. 502 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The result for assets and liabilities designated at fair value – relating to investments in hedge funds made since 1st July 2007 – also made a large negative contribution as a consequence of the penalisation of all items (-118 million euro compared to +1,6 million euro in 2007).

Net profit from hedging activity fell from +1,5 million euro to -7,3 million euro. As concerns the effectiveness of the hedges, that change relates to the total amount of the hedging derivatives used (mainly interest rate derivatives) and to the respective items hedged. The context of high volatility for short term interest rates (as occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008) did in fact penalise the valuation of the floating rate component of the derivatives.

The item totalled 24,1 million euro in 2007; that amount included 20,2 million euro for a nonrecurring gain on the Borsa Italiana (now London Stock Exchange) share exchange. Depreciation of improvements to leased assets Costs relating to financial leasing contracts (230) (229) (4) (20) Other operating income and expenses amounted to 166,2 million euro, compared to 305,5 million euro in the previous year. This mainly reflects the decrease in income from services to Group member companies (145,2 million euro compared to 289,4 million euro) following the operational centralisation of activities at the subsidiary UBI.S, which took effect from 1st October 2007. The latter amount consists of income amounting to 89,3 million euro in respect of administration, lending, governance, commercial and financial services provided by the Parent Bank and income amounting to 55,9 million euro for organisation and IT services relating to the platform abandoned at the end of the year. The amount for 2007 includes a non-recurring expense of 6,6 million euro, which represented the present value of the total endowment to be paid to the Marches Foundation on the basis of agreements related to the settlement of the Banca Popolare di Ancona litigation. There was an appreciable reduction(-22,9%) in operating costs (376,8 million euro) across all expense items, which do not include integration costs classified within a separate item, partly the consequence of the centralisation of operations Staff costs: composition in UBI.S already mentioned. In detail: 31.12.2007 31.12.2008 - staff costs fell by 30,5% to 158,8 million euro from 228,6 million euro in 2007 which benefited, amongst other things, from the positive impact of the pension reform affecting the staff severance provision (5,5 million euro). The reduction of 69,8 million euro consisted of the following: 63,6 million euro attributable to lower costs for employees (mainly the wages and salaries component); 4,7 million euro attributable to other personnel (personnel working under agency staff leasing contracts were employed during the year as part of integration activities and the relative cost was therefore classified within integration expenses); 504 Figures in thousands of euro 1) Employees a) Wages and salaries b) Social security charges c) Severance indemnity d) Pension expense e) Staff severance provision charge f) Allocation to provision of pension and similar obligations pro-forma (116.654) (79.013) (180.214) (112.249) (20.786) (40.569) (151) (308) - (71) (2.195) (3.412) - - (7.965) (15.633) (7.965) (15.633) - - g) Payments to external supplementary retirement benefit plans: - defined contribution - defined service h) Expenses resulting from share based payment agreements i) Other benefits for permanent employees 2) Other personnel - Expenses for agency personnel on staff leasing contracts - Other expenses 3) Directors 4) Expenses incurred for retired personnel Total - - (6.544) (7.972) (34.040) - (38.689) (4.137) (34.040) (34.552) (8.109) (9.637) - (32) (158.803) (228.572) UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 1,5 million euro attributable to directors and statutory auditors.

Reclassification of "tax recoveries" 109 370 Total (156.396) (191.641) - net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets fell to 61,6 million euro (68,8 million euro), due to the transfer of some parts of the former IT system to UBI.S. As a result of the performance reported above net operating income – calculated as the difference between operating income and operating costs – amounted to 263,3 million euro (676,1 million euro in the comparative year). Net impairment losses on loans amounted to 4,4 million euro (1,2 million euro in 2007) and include 4,8 million euro in relation to the write-down of amounts due from Lehman Brothers. In detail, 0,4 million euro relate to an amount due from Lehman Brothers International (Europe) in respect of foreign currency transactions and currency derivatives and 4,4 million euro in respect of a cross currency swap entered into with Lehman Brothers Special Financing, not included in the financial statements (see the section “Financial activities” in the consolidated management report for further details). Net provisions for liabilities and charges were reduced from 3,7 million euro to 1,7 million euro and included a provision of 1,5 million euro, as the share pertaining to the Parent Bank, against the default of Icelandic bank issuers and guarantors of the securities underlying the three index linked policies sold to Group customers through Aviva Vita and Aviva Assicurazioni Vita (see the previous section “Financial activities” in this respect). 505 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. In view of the sharp falls in share prices which occurred during the year and worsened in the fourth quarter, mainly affecting stocks in the banking sector, in compliance with IAS 39, UBI Banca recognised the reductions considered significant and prolonged in the value of shares classified as available-for-sale in the income statement. This resulted in net impairment losses on other assets/liabilities totalling 496 million euro, including approximately 443,9 million euro in respect of an interest held in Intesa Sanpaolo, 24,6 million euro for the interest in the London Stock Exchange (formerly Borsa Italiana) and 19,7 million euro for the company A2A. All three amounts were classified within non-recurring items (see also the notes to the financial statements, Part B, Section 4). In 2007 these impairment charges amounted to 5,9 million euro and included an extraordinary write-down amounting to 5,6 million euro on the indirect interest held in Help Rental Service placed in liquidation in July 2007. The income statement benefited from net profits on the disposal of equity investments amounting to 17,5 million euro. They consisted of 22 million euro on the sale of shares in UBI Pramerica SGR to our American partner; 2,4 million euro on the disposal of the interest in CFE (Corporation Financière Européenne4); a loss of -3,5 million euro on the disposal of shares in UBI.S to Group member companies, performed on the basis of the book value of the company as at 31st December 2007; -3,6 million euro for impairment of the subsidiary UBI CentroSystem. As a result of the impairment losses reported above, profit on continuing operations before tax recorded a loss of 221,4 million euro, compared to a profit of 665,2 million euro in the preceding twelve months. If non-recurring items are excluded from both years, profit before tax amounted to 304,6 million euro compared to 651,7 million euro in 2007. Taxes on income for the year – positive as a result of the application of the tax consolidation law, which allows structurally negative taxable income to be compensated due to the presence of dividends taxed at reduced rates at a percentage of 95% – amounted to 271,4 million euro (222 million euro in 2007). It must nevertheless be considered that the figure for 2008 includes the following: a positive non-recurring component of 95,3 million euro, consisting of: • 2,4 million euro as the positive effect, in respect of provisions already made for deferred tax liabilities, of the tax redemption on non accounting deductions (Section EC of the income tax return) in relation to depreciation, impairment and provisions, pursuant to Art.1, paragraph 33, of Law No, 244/2007;5 • 92,9 million euro from the tax recognition (through the payment of a 16% substitute tax to be paid in 2009) of the value attributed to the goodwill recognised in the financial statements of UBI Banca when the purchase price allocation was performed following the merger of the former BLP into the former BPU. This goodwill, as exempted, is tax deductible over nine years from the year in which the substitute tax is paid, in accordance with Art.15, paragraph 10, of Decree Law No. 185/2008 (see the notes to the financial statements, Part A, for further information); negative amount of 47,4 million euro related to the impairment of available-for-sale equity investments, to Madoff and Lehman Brothers positions and the default of Icelandic banks; increased taxes amounting to 8,2 million euro resulting from gains on the disposal of equity investments. The 2007 figure includes positive non recurring items amounting to 142,3 million euro resulting from adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities to comply with the new tax rates introduced by the 2008 Finance Act (144,7 million euro relating to the PPA). 4 The amount was not included within non-recurring items because it was below the minimum threshold set by internal procedures for identifying these items. 5 The amount results from the difference between the substitute tax rate (16%) and the ordinary rate [IRES corporation tax (27,5%) + IRAP - local production tax (4,82%) = 32,32%]. 506 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. If non-recurring items are excluded, positive taxation for 2008 amounted to 137 million euro, compared to 87,8 million euro twelve months previously, as a result of changes in taxable income. Finally, integration costs recognised in 2008 amounted to 26,1 million euro (net of tax amounting to 9,9 million euro), including 15,3 million euro (gross) relating to personnel and 20,7 million euro (gross) relating to impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and other administrative expenses (10,6 million relating to instalments paid to UBI.S for IT migration operations and 7,6 million euro for advisory and other services); in the comparative year the item was 66,7 million euro net of tax amounting to 36,9 million euro. *** The fourth quarter of 2008 incorporated all the negative events which affected the performance of financial items in the last part of the year. The period ended for UBI Banca with a loss of 581,4 million euro compared with a negative result of 103,2 million euro in the third quarter (when the first signs of turbulence, which were clamorously evident after 15th September with the Lehman Brothers event, had already appeared) and with a profit of 73,8 million euro earned in the fourth quarter of 2007. It should be considered that since the transfer of operations to UBI Sistemi e Servizi took effect from 1st October 2007, the fourth quarter of 2007 is fully comparable on a perfectly uniform basis with the fourth quarter of 2008. In detail, operating income amounted to -172,9 million euro in the period October-December 2008 (+24,5 million euro in the same quarter of 2007), penalised by the negative result for financial activities (-135,9 million euro compared to +26,3 million euro in 2007), by the increased magnitude of net interest income (-64,8 million euro compared to -56,6 million euro) and by the decrease in other net operating income (22,9 million euro compared to 48,3 million euro), due to the completion of the IT migration of the Network banks to the target system. On the other hand operating costs, which totalled 97,2 million euro, improved by more than 9 million euro compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, as a result of synergies created by the merger and of the constant monitoring activity which resulted from it. More specifically, other administrative expenses, amounting to 41,3 million euro, were reduced even more by over 14 million euro. As a result of the performance described above net operating income amounted to -270,2 million euro (-82,1 million euro in 2007). The last three months of the year were also affected by net impairment losses on other assets/liabilities in respect of available-for-sale equity investments (Intesa Sanpaolo, London Stock Exchange and A2A) amounting to 488,1 million euro6, by impairment losses on amounts due in relation to the Lehman Brothers position amounting to 4,8 million euro and to a provision for liabilities and charges amounting to 1,5 million euro in relation to the default of Icelandic banks, the guarantors of index linked insurance policies purchased by Group customers (see the information already reported in the commentary on the full year). As a result of the above profit on continuing operations before tax recorded a loss for the period of 773,1 million euro (-84,5 million euro in the fourth quarter of 2007), which benefited from positive taxation of 199,7 million euro, partly the result of the recognition of goodwill for tax purposes, against payment of substitute tax. 6 The loss of value recorded as at 30th September 2008 since the beginning of the year on those same AFS equity investments was approximately 250 million euro and it was recognised in a separate valuation reserve in shareholders’ equity. 507 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Shareholders’ equity and capital adequacy The shareholders’ equity of UBI Banca as at 31st December 2008, inclusive of profit for the year, amounted to 10.358,7 million euro compared to 10.962,1 million euro at the end of 2007. As can be seen from the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, contained among the separate financial statements, the decrease of 603,4 million euro that occurred over twelve months is attributable to: • • • the allocation of 2007 profit to dividends and other uses amounting to 616,4 million euro; the recognition of 2008 profit amounting to 23,9 million euro; a negative change in reserves of 10,9 million euro, attributable primarily to those relating to available-for-sale financial assets.

As reported in the relative table in part F of the notes to the financial statements, the supervisory capital of UBI Banca amounted to 13,7 billion euro at the end of 2008 (with tier 1 capital accounting for almost 10 billion euro) compared to 13,5 billion euro twelve months previously. The absorption of capital for credit risk, market risk operational risk and other capital requirements (detailed in the relative table in part F of the notes to the financial statements, which may be consulted) amounted to 1.275 million euro to give a tier 1 ratio of 45,89% and a total capital ratio of 64,25%. In consideration of the solidity of the ratios existing also at consolidated level, the Group has no immediate need to strengthen its capital. UBI Banca will not therefore take advantage at present of the opportunity to purchase special government bank bonds (the “Tremonti Bonds”), pursuant to Art. 12 of Decree Law No. 185/2008 (anti-crisis decree) converted into law on 28th January 2009. Nevertheless with a view to maintaining, strengthening and improving the capital base of the Group in the medium term and to increasing shareholder loyalty, the Management Board and 508 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. the Supervisory Board have decided to submit a proposal to a shareholders’ meeting for two capital management initiatives as follows: 1) the issue free of charge to the shareholders of one warrant for every share held on the exdividend date, which will give the right, after two years from issue, to subscribe one UBI Banca share for every 20 warrants at a price which will be decided by the shareholders’ meeting. 2) the issue of convertible bonds maturing in four years, for a maximum amount of 640 million euro, reserved to shareholders at attractive conditions. They will be convertible: before maturity (in any event after 18 months): at the option of the bondholder, at a predetermined price; at the option of the issuer, at the lower of the predetermined and the market price, by paying a premium to bondholders. on maturity the convertible bonds may be redeemed at the option of the issuer either in cash or by conversion into shares on the basis of the stock exchange price of the underlying UBI Banca share and in any event for a value not less than the nominal value of the bond. With this structure, the issue will constitute a remunerated source of funding with a fixed coupon and it will strengthen capital in the medium term if converted Both the warrants and the convertible bonds will be listed on regulated markets managed by Borsa Italiana. 509 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Relations with companies in the Group Details of relations with companies in the Group are given in part H of the notes to the financial statements as part of the information on related parties, distinguishing between subsidiaries (fully consolidated), companies subject to joint control (proportionately consolidated) and associates (consolidated using the equity method). Research and Development Information on the research and development performed by the Bank is contained in the relative section of the consolidated management report contained in the first part of this publication. As part of its role as the Parent Bank, UBI Banca performs research and development for the purpose of supporting and co-ordinating all the companies in the Group. The system of internal control As concerns the system of internal controls of UBI Banca, this is reported in the corresponding section of the consolidated management report and also, with regard to risks and the relative hedging policies, in Part E of the Notes to the accounts where full details are given. 510 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Share performance structure and shareholder Share performance The UBI Banca share is traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock market) of Borsa Italiana in the blue chip segment and forms part of the S&P/MIB Index. As is known, the crisis that hit financial markets in 2008 reduced capitalisation on all world stock exchanges and the relative indices recorded substantial losses (see the section “The macroeconomic scenario”). On the Milan stock exchange the S&P/Mib index lost 49,5% over twelve months, with all major sectors (industrial, services and financial) involved; that which lost most was the financial sector (-53,9%). More specifically the banking sector ended 2008 with a loss of 57,3%. This was the context in which the UBI Banca share performed in 2008 with a loss of 44,5%. The fall in share prices is greater if the comparison is made with the date on which the UBI Banca Group was established (April 2007), since the origin of the current financial situation dates back to July 2007, when the United States subprime mortgage crisis began. Nevertheless, even over this period of time the UBI Banca share (-52,4%) recorded a more contained loss than that incurred by the banking sector (-63,7%) and by the S&P/Mib index (53,7%) . 2009 began with strong negative trends on markets, with the S&P/Mib index losing 23,19% in the first three months (20th March) and the banking sector even more (-26,21%). The UBI Banca share was particularly penalised, (-29,3% to 7,28 euro), recording record lows (6,15 euro – the reference price on 9th March 2009.

The UBI Banca share was particularly penalised, (-29,3% to 7,28 euro), recording record lows (6,15 euro – the reference price on 9th March 2009. In 2008, 649 million UBI Banca shares were traded on the screen based stock market for a value of 9,9 billion euro, compared to 725 million shares for 14,7 billion euro recorded in 2007. As a result of the decrease in the share price, the stock market capitalisation (calculated on the official price) at the end of the year had fallen to 6,6 billion euro, corresponding to the consolidated tangible equity (calculated net of goodwill), from 12 billion euro in 2007. Despite this, UBI Banca remains one of the banking shares with the greatest capitalisation at 4th place among Italian banking groups and in first place among “popular” banks. At European level, the UBI Banca Group was again among the first twenty five on the basis of the classification drawn up by the ABI (Italian Banking Association) in its European Banking Report which considers the 15 countries of the European Monetary Union plus Switzerland. The main information concerning the UBI Banca share is summarised below along with the principal stock market indicators which have been calculated using consolidated figures stated pro-forma for 2007, which are more meaningful. 512 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Information concerning share capital and share ownership The share capital of UBI Banca as at 31st December 2008 was unchanged at 1.597.864.755 euro, consisting of 639.145.902 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 2,5 euro; all the outstanding shares have normal dividend entitlement from 1st January 2008. The legislation in force relating to ‘popular’ co-operative banks (Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act), which is also cited in article 18 of the corporate by-laws, limits the percentage interest of the share capital that may be owned by registered and unregistered shareholders to 0.50% of the share capital. The limit on the size of shareholdings does not apply to collective investment companies, which are subject to the limits laid down in the rules of each of them. Each registered shareholder may cast only one vote, irrespective of the number of shares held. Under Article 120 of the Consolidated Finance Act, persons holding more than 2% of the share capital in a share issuer which has Italy as its member state of origin must notify this to the company and to the CONSOB (Italian securities market authority). At the date of this financial report no reports of positions greater than 2% had been notified, other than those received in April 2007 at the time of the merger of Banca Lombarda e Piemontese. On the date of the payment the 2008 dividend, the principal shareholders of UBI Bank held shares as follows: 2,280% by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo; 2,255% by Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lombardia; 2,122% by Carlo Tassara Spa1. In accordance with Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act, the Bank proceeded to inform those concerned of the prohibition on holding more than 0,50% of the share capital2. On the basis of an updating of the shareholders’ register, registered shareholders numbered 85.280 as at 31st December 2008. They held more than 65% of the share capital. If account is also taken of the shareholders who are not listed in the shareholders’ register, then the total of registered and unregistered shareholders numbered approximately 151 thousand. On the basis of data relating to the dividend distribution paid in 2008, 44% of the overall shareholder base of UBI Banca consists of private individuals and 56% consists of legal entities. The 1 At the date of this report, the interest held was 2,004%. 2 Art. 41, paragraph 14 of Decree Law No 207 of 30th December 2008, converted into Law No. 14 of 27th February 2009, granted a further postponement of one year (with respect to what had already been granted by Art. 28-bis of Decree Law No. 248 of 31st December 2007, converted into Law No. 31 of 28th February 2008) for the sale of equity investments in excess of 0,50% of the share capital held in “popular” co-operative banks, where the reason for exceeding the limit relates to ownership concentration transactions between banks or between investors. That postponement was communicated by letter to the parties concerned. 513 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. shares held by institutional investors represent more than 39% of the share capital3 and more specifically 9,4% is owned by investment funds and more than 10% by asset management companies, brokerage and financial companies. The report on corporate governance attached to this publication may be consulted for other disclosures pursuant to article 123-bis of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24th February 1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance) Corporate Governance Information on corporate governance is given in the corporate governance report prepared in compliance with the Self Disciplinary Code of Conduct for listed companies of Borsa Italiana Spa. The report is contained in an attachment to this publication and may also be consulted on the corporate website at “www.ubibanca.it in the section Corporate Governance, Corporate Documents”. Own shares As at 31st December 2008 UBI Banca held none of its own shares and it neither purchased nor sold shares during the year (notes to the financial statements, Part B, Liabilities, Section 14 Table 14.3). Report on the admission of new registered shareholders (pursuant to Art. 2528, paragraph five of the Italian Civil Code) We report that again in 2008, the admission of new registered shareholders was decided by first assessing the applications presented in compliance with the articles 6 and 9 of the corporate by-laws of UBI Banca. The applications submitted for the approval of the Management Board numbered a total of 1.792, all fully accepted, after verifying the possession of a minimum of 250 shares by aspiring registered shareholders, as provided for by article 8, paragraph 2 of the corporate by-laws. In detail, 1.759 applications were collected by banks in the Group and the remaining 33 through non Group intermediaries. Report on mutual objects (in accordance with Art. 2545 of the Italian Civil Code) In accordance with its model as a ‘popular’ bank, UBI Banca not only orients its operating policies towards the production of value in general, but also towards achieving the mutual objects intrinsic in its institutional model, both through initiatives directed to grant 3 On the basis of the latest survey conducted on the composition of the shareholder base in co-operation with an international company specialising in “market intelligence”, which does not include trust companies and hedge funds, the share capital held by institutional investors is located mainly in Europe (including Italy), in the British Isles area (United Kingdom and Ireland) and in North America. 514 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. concessions directly to its registered shareholders and through numerous actions to support the local economies of the areas in which the bank operates traditionally. The package termed “Value Project”, is important with regard to the first aspect. It is a set of banking and insurance concessions, free of charge, destined exclusively to the registered shareholders of the Bank. The banking concessions are reserved to those who hold a current account and have shares in the Bank deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance policies are for registered shareholders in general. More specifically, the Value Project allows registered shareholders to save on the monthly charges on some of the Duetto bundled accounts, it exempts them from assessment charges for home mortgage and personal loans and grants them loans at special rates to meet the costs of their children’s education. Young registered shareholders are exempted from charges for activating prepaid and rechargeable cards. As concerns insurance, the Value Project grants, free of charge, a family civil liability policy, an accident life or permanent invalidity policy, a safe withdrawal policy which pays damages for thefts or robberies occurring during paying in or withdrawal operations and a daily indemnity in case of hospitalisation caused by an accident. Again with regard to initiatives on behalf of shareholders and more specifically also to increase the loyalty of registered shareholders and to provide an incentive to participate in shareholder events as a pivotal moment of meeting and discussion on the life of the bank, a three-year competition is currently in progress in which prizes are drawn for registered shareholders attending meetings. As concerns support for the local economies in the areas in which the Bank operates through its Group, decisions are made as part of the social responsibility orientation of the Bank which reflects its “historical” mission of being a ‘Popular Bank’ strongly rooted in the social and economic life of the community committed to the promotion of harmonious and lasting development, thereby interpreting and implementing the original co-operative objects of ‘popular’ banks in a new and broader manner. The network banks, which are operationally and legally autonomous, are organised on a federal model according to a principal of complementarity, which integrates different corporate histories and cultures which each have a common vocation: strongly rooted in local areas, attention to the needs of local financial, industrial and economic communities and a strong orientation to serve families and small to medium size enterprises. The Group has grown in this way to cover a large part of the Italian regions with banks which originated in them and which have gradually opened new branches or merged with other local realities to achieve a particularly large share of branches in their provinces of origin. That is why the role of the branch networks is emphasised in the Group’s banks: their primary objective is to focus on longstanding links with local economies and communities, to conserve traditional relationships between bank and customer and to create value in society. The branches are not concentrated in a few large centres, but are spread throughout almost 1.200 municipalities. In order to better direct the Bank’s operations to assist business communities in the very many local realities in which the Group is present, it works with trade associations and guarantee bodies that represent local communities, by means of conventions for the purpose of granting ordinary loans and also specific loans to develop the competitiveness of small to medium sized enterprises. The product companies play a key role here by providing excellent services in fields that include business advisory services, innovative finance, easy-term credit, leasing and electronic commerce (see the section on small businesses in the consolidated management report). Finally constant attention continues to be paid to the development of new products and services with particular reference to social and environmental issues. One issue that has been 515 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. addressed in recent years, of great importance, is that of the social inclusion of disadvantaged groups and of immigrant citizens from outside the European Community in particular. Local institutions and trade associations are involved with the dual task of indicating cases worthy of attention and of guaranteeing that finance consisting of very small loans actually arrives at its destination for social welfare purposes and to support entrepreneurial initiatives and study and retraining courses for those groups in the population. Work has been in progress in this direction for some time now with a project named “InItaly”, which involves funding and lending products and banking and insurance services dedicated to immigrants from outside the European Community and more generally to disadvantaged groups in society and to voluntary associations. In order to make an even more incisive contribution to preventing the risk of social exclusion for the more disadvantaged groups who have difficulty in gaining access to bank credit, a strategic partnership was entered into at the end of 2008 with PerMicro Spa, a national operator which specialises in developing micro-credit for individuals and very small businesses. In recent years, in consideration of the increasing gravity of environmental problems, the Group has introduced specific products to support the environment and initiatives to reduce polluting emissions by private individuals and businesses with the continuation of the “My city” project and the development of the “Energy Space” project, which led to the launch of two new lines of finance, one dedicated to alternative energies (“New Energy”) and one directed specifically to the development of photovoltaic cells “Forza Sole” (Sun Strength). The marketing campaign “Quì UBI per l’ambiente” is also designed to increase awareness of environmental issues among customers. It was launched in November in co-operation with WWF Italia to promote internet banking in the Group by supporting initiatives to study and conserve the environment in nature reserves and parks located in the provinces in which the network banks have their roots. Attention to local needs in a context of subsidiarity and mutuality is also borne out by the numerous initiatives to provide social, cultural, scientific, welfare and environmental support performed directly by the Group’s network banks, which are flanked by initiatives by the Parent Bank and by the Foundations created by the Group, the Banca Banca Popolare di Bergamo Onlus, Banche Popolari Unite per Varese Onlus, Fondazione CAB and Fondazione Banca San Paolo di Brescia (see also the special section in the consolidated management report). More specifically, in accordance with their corporate by-laws, the principal Banks in the Group grant a part of their profits to charitable, humanitarian, social, cultural and artistic purposes The Bank also gives priority in its sponsorship activities designed to promote its image to initiatives which link its brand name with associations and personalities in the world of voluntary work, culture and sport that provide positive examples to the community. Action was taken in 2008 involving funds totalling more than 21,5 million euro with which the Group contributed to the life of hundreds of organisations and associations, both church associated and others, spread throughout the community to fuel intense activity that is important to individual local areas. Initiatives to reform legislation on ‘popular’ co-operative banks In recent years the Italian Parliament has attempted on several occasions to examine the legislation governing “popular” banks with a view to making changes with regard to the maximum limit on shares that may be held by individual and institutional investors. UBI Banca has expressed its opinion in favour of raising the limits on shareholdings, but at the same time conserving the regulations on “popular” banks, especially with regard to the principle of per capita voting. 516 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Shareholdings of management and supervisory bodies, the General Manager and senior managers with strategic responsibilities The information required under Art. 79 of the Issuers Regulations is given in Part H of the notes to the financial statements, with regard to relations and business with related parties. De jure and delegated powers of the corporate bodies (CONSOB Recommendation No. 97001574 of 20th February 1997) Information concerning the powers of the governing bodies of Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa, as required under CONSOB (Italian securities market authority) Recommendation No. 97001574 of 20th February 1997 is contained in the report on corporate governance attached to this publication. 517 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Other information Amendments to corporate by-laws On 27th January 2009 the Management Board passed a resolution to submit the following amendments of the Corporate By-Laws to a shareholders’ meeting: articles 5 and 13 (Title III Share Capital, Registered Shareholders and Shares), articles 22 and 28 (Title V - Shareholders’ Meetings), articles 30, 36, 37, 38 and 39 (Title VI - Management Board), articles 43 and 43 bis (Title VII- Chief Executive Officer), articles 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49 (TITLE VIII - Supervisory Board), article 51 (Title X - Board of Arbitration), article 52 (Title XI- Financial Statements, profits and reserves) and the transition regulations from I to VI. Those amendments to the corporate by-laws – authorised by the Supervisory Board in a meeting of 30th January 2009 – are attributable mainly to the need for the Corporate By-Laws to comply with the rules introduced by the “Supervisory provisions on the organisation and corporate governance of Banks”, adopted by the Governor of the Bank of Italy on 4th March 2008 (hereinafter “Bank of Italy Provisions”). Amendments made in this respect concerned the following: i) procedures for the appointment, removal and substitution of members of the Supervisory Board, with provisions for greater representation of candidates from minority lists; ii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to determine the total remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board, including therefore those with particular appointments, powers or functions; iii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to approve remuneration policies for members of the Management Board and remuneration and/or incentive schemes based on financial instruments; iv) the criterion for distributing remuneration among the members of the Supervisory Board; v) more precise identification and distinction of the duties and responsibilities of the Management Board and of the Supervisory Board, regarding in particular: - powers conferred on the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board; - powers attributable to bodies delegated by the Management Board; - strategic operations reserved to the Supervisory Board; vi) participation in Management Board meetings by members of the internal control committee; vii) the elimination of transition regulations, because they are now obsolete. Finally amendments of a formal nature are proposed or in any case designed to introduce a more precise definition to the by-laws. If approved the proposals in question will not give rise to the right to withdraw from the company. 518 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Litigation Information on corporate litigation currently pending concerning UBI Banca is given in the consolidated report on operations, which may be consulted. Tax consolidation UBI Banca participates in the national tax consolidation pursuant to articles 117 et seq. of the TUIR (consolidated law on income tax). As a result of the amendments introduced by Law No. 244/2007 (the 2008 Finance Act) from 1st January 2008 there is no longer total exemption for intragroup dividends and the regime of neutrality for transfers between members of the Group has also been removed. The tax consolidation expiring in 20101 was confirmed in June 2008, but without effect for the three year contracts that already existed and expired in 20082. Decree Law No. 112/2008, enacted immediately following the expiry of the time limit for taking up the three year option, introduced concessionary measures in relation to the non deductibility of interest expense – see article 96, paragraph 5 bis, of the TUIR. These will lead as a consequence to a further extension of the tax consolidation from 2009 with the inclusion of companies already excluded for organisational and operational reasons. Legislation on the protection of personal data In compliance with Art. 34 of Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30th June 2003 – Legislation on the protection of personal data – the periodical update of the security programme document was completed on time and in compliance with the recommendations contained in the Attachment B, Technical Regulations, of that decree (Rule 19). 1 The tax consolidation expiring in 2010 includes UBI Sistemi e Servizi, Mercato Impresa, UBI Assicurazioni, UBI CentroSystem, BPB Immobiliare and UBI Gestioni Fiduciarie. 2 The tax consolidation which expired in 2008 included Banca Popolare di Bergamo, Banco di Brescia, Banca Regionale Europea, Banco di San Giorgio, Banca di Valle Camonica, UBI Banca Private Investment, UBI Leasing, Silf, UBI Factor, Capitalgest Alternative Investments SGR, UBI Pramerica Alternative Investments SGR, S.B.I.M., SOLIMM and UBI Gestioni Fiduciarie Sim. 519 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Principal risks and uncertainties to which UBI Banca is exposed UBI Banca, as the Parent Bank, plays a leading role in the process of assessing capital adequacy at consolidated level (ICAAP – Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) and it also performs centralised functions of risk measurement, monitoring and management detailed in the consolidated report on operations, which may be consulted for a precise description and for details of the principal uncertainties. Significant events occurring after the end of the year and the business outlook The main significant events occurring after the end of the year are reported in the notes to the financial statements, Part A – Accounting policies, in compliance with Bank of Italy Circular No. 262 of December 2005. The corresponding section of the consolidated management report may be consulted for information on the business outlook. 520 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Proposal for the allocation of profit for the year and a dividend distribution Dear Shareholders, In compliance with article 2364 bis of the Italian Civil Code and article 52 of the corporate bylaws, the following allocation of profit and dividend distribution is proposed: Profit for the year Euro 23.885.701,72 10% to the legal reserve Euro -2.388.570,17 Remaining profit Euro 21.497.131,55 1,5% to the Board of Directors for charitable, humanitarian, social, cultural and artistic purposes Euro -322.456,97 Euro 21.174.674,58 quota to the unavailable reserve pursuant to Art. 6 Legislative Decree 38/2005 (*) Euro -7.399.557,00 Profit distribu table Euro 13.775.117,58 from retained profit Euro 261.344,49 from the extraordinary reserve Euro 273.579.193,83 TOTAL Euro 287.615.655,90 Euro 0,45 for each of the 639.145.902 ordinary shares with dividend entitlement 1st January 2008 Euro -287.615.655,90 (*) Net gains relate to non negotiable financial instruments. As a result of the Bank’s sound capital ratios and a policy of allocating to reserves pursued in previous years with the objective, amongst other things, of stabilising the remuneration of shares, the Management Board has decided to propose the declaration of a dividend of 0,45 euro for each of the ordinary shares outstanding. Payment of the dividend, if approved, will commence on 18th May 2009 (value date 21st May 2009), against coupon No. 7. As a result of the tax reform which came into force on 1st January 2004, there is no tax credit on the dividend and, depending on who receives it, it is either subject to a withholding tax or part of it constitutes taxable income. The total dividend payment will amount to 287,6 million euro drawn on the profit of the Parent Bank and on the extraordinary reserve after legal and by-law allocations.

Part A – Accounting policies A.1 – GENERAL PART Section 1 - Declaration of compliance with IAS/IFRS This annual report of the UBI Banca Group has been prepared in compliance with the international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and homologated at the date of publication and also in compliance with the related interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) 20. The financial statements, consisting of the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, the notes to the accounts and the management report, subjected to audit by the independent auditors, constitute the separate company report of the UBI Banca Scpa, the Parent Bank of the Unione di Banche Italiane Banking Group. The separate financial statements as at 31st December 2008 have been clearly stated and give a true and fair view of the capital and financial position, the result for the period, the changes in equity and the cash flows. Section 2 - General principles of preparation These financial statements have been prepared according to the general accounting principles contained in IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements” and they therefore report information on a going concern basis, recognising income and expenses on an accruals basis, without offsetting assets against liabilities and income against expenses. The current context of economic and financial crisis persuaded management to examine the going concern assumption with particular care and to confirm it on the basis of the arguments presented in the section “Principal risks and uncertainties to which the UBI Banca Group is exposed” contained in this publication. Account was taken in the preparation of this annual report of the Bank of Italy /Consob/Isvap document No. 2 of 6th February 2009 which, in this context of the difficult economic and market conditions, calls attention to the need to ensure that financial reporting is adequate and while it does not introduce further obligations in addition to those already provided by international accounting standards, it recommends thorough and full compliance with them. More specifically the contents of that document have been adhered to in the following sections of this annual report: - preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis: see the section “Principal risks and uncertainties to which the UBI Banca Group is exposed” in the consolidated management report; - information on financial risks: see Part E “Information on risks and the relative hedging policies” and the section “Hierarchy of the fair value of financial instruments” in the notes to the financial statements; - information to be provided on impairment testing: see the report in section 11 “property, plant and equipment” and section 12 “intangible assets” of the notes to the financial statements; 20 See the “List of IAS/IFRS standards approved by the European Commission” presented in Part A.1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The standards listed there and the relative interpretations are applied on the basis of events occurring that are disciplined by them and the year from which they must be applied. 535 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. - uncertainties on the use of estimates: see the sub-section “Use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the annual financial statements” of the section 5 “Other aspects” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The information contained in them is expressed, unless otherwise indicated, in euro as the accounting currency and the financial information, the balance sheet and income statement, the notes and comments and the explanatory tables are presented in thousands of euro. The relative rounding of the figures has been performed on the basis of Bank of Italy instructions. Items for which there are no values for the current and the previous period have been omitted. The mandatory financial statements used in this annual report comply with those defined in Bank of Italy Circular No. 262/2005 and in addition to the accounts as at 31st December 2008, they also provide the same comparative information as at 31st December 2007. As a result of the merger which became effective on 1st April 2007, the comparative income statement to 31st December 2007 presents the results for the period 1st January-31st December 2007 for the former BPU Banca Group and for the last three quarters of 2007 for the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese Group. Since the figures presented in the comparative financial statements as at 31st December 2007 are not fully comparable with the financial statements as at 31st December 2008, pro-forma balance sheet and income statement figures have been prepared as at 31st December 2007 to support the “management report”. That section also contains comments on the principal changes that occurred in the capital and financial situation during the reporting period. It should also be considered that UBI Banca contributed its service and support operations to UBI Sistemi e Servizi with effect from 1st October 2007. The following changes have been made to the 2007 figures with respect to those published in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31st December 2007: in order to provide a more precise classification, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements with an institutional counterparty were reclassified out of the item “loans to banks” into the item “loans to customers” (212 million euro) and out of “due to banks” and into “due to customers” (468 million euro); following instructions given by the Bank of Italy, statutory auditors remuneration (211 thousand euro) was reclassified within administrative expenses out of item b) “other administrative expenses” into item a) “staff costs”; Accounting policies The accounting policies contained in Part A.2 concerning the classification, valuation and derecognition phases are essentially the same as those adopted for the preparation of the 2007 annual financial statements. The accounting policies employed tend to apply the cost criterion with the exception of the following financial assets and liabilities, which are valued using the fair value criterion: financial instruments held for trading (including derivative products), financial instruments designated at fair value (in application of the fair value option) and available-for-sale financial instruments. To complete the information, non current assets available for sale (and the liabilities associated with them) have been recognised at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value (net of sales costs). 536 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Section 3 - Events occurring after the balance sheet date With regard to the provisions of IAS 10, subsequent to the balance sheet date as at 31st December 2008 and until 24th March 2009, the date on which the Annual Report was approved by the Management Board for submission to the Supervisory Board, no events occurred to make adjustments to the figures presented in the report necessary. We report the following for information purposes: - UBI Banca accepted, with the shares it held, accounting for 1,89% of the share capital, the voluntary public tender offer to purchase the total of the ordinary shares of Meliorbanca S.p.A. made by Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna Soc. Coop. at a price of 3,20 euro per share. Following the public tender offer, which was concluded on 24th February 2009, on 3rd March 2008 UBI Banca received payment of approximately 7,6 million euro with a gain of one million euro; - on 4th March 2009, as part of an agreement signed by UBI Banca, Centrobanca and Medinvest International, UBI Banca purchased a further 32,4% stake in the share capital of IW Bank, held by the current management, at a price of 2,97 euro per share with normal dividend entitlement for a total price of approximately 70,9 million euro. The agreement also involved the purchase by Medinvest International of a stake in the share capital of IW Bank, which will in turn acquire a majority interest that may rise to 100% in the share capital of Twice SIM (a company which specialises in brokerage services and activities in capital markets and corporate finance for small to medium size enterprises), 59,3% controlled by Medinvest International; - on 13th March 2009, UBI Banca subscribed to its quota (34,82%) of the first increase in the share capital decided by an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Banco di San Giorgio amounting to 68.385.750,28 euro, in order to strengthen its capital in consideration of its acquisition of operations from Intesa Sanpaolo, consisting of 13 branches located in the province of La Spezia. Section 4 - Other aspects In order to avoid reporting duplications, the section 5 “Other aspects” in the consolidated financial report may be consulted for aspects not specifically reported in the remaining part of this section, with the exception of the sub-section “Amendments to IAS 39” which follows. Accounting treatment for combinations between entities under common control In 2008 UBI Banca Scpa was involved in various transactions which for the purposes of the application of the accounting policies constitute mergers of businesses or entities under common control and as such are explicitly excluded from the application of the accounting standard IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. The accounting treatment applied is therefore based on recommendations contained in “Orientamenti preliminari Assirevi in tema IFRS” (OPI) (preliminary orientations on IFRS of the Italian National Association of Auditors) as explained in greater detail in Part A.1 – Section 5 “Other aspects” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Considering that at present there is no well established standard interpretation of the contents of the OPIs, especially with regard to the recognition of significant economic substance, in continuity with the practice followed for the 2007 annual report, it was considered appropriate to adopt a prudent approach by which in cases of higher values being found for operations under common control subject to merger transaction, these were recognised within a separate reserve in shareholders’ equity. We report the following with regard to individual transactions: • the contribution of the interest held in Capitalgest Alternative Investments SGR to UBI Pramerica resulted in a gain recognised as an increase in equity reserves; 537 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. • • • • the portion of the proceeds resulting from the liquidation of Financiera Veneta EFC attributable to the gain on the sale of the operations to UBI Banca International was recognised as an increase in equity reserves; the loss arising from the merger of the subsidiary Mercati Finanziari Sim was recognised as a reduction in equity reserves; the interest held in FinanzAttiva Servizi purchased by UBI Pramerica and by Centrobanca was recognised at the fair value at the date of the transaction, corresponding to the price paid; the sale of shares of UBI Sistemi e Servizi to Group member companies was performed for amounts less than the carrying value. The lower value that emerged was more appropriately charged to the income statement. Tax realignment of goodwill Decree Law No. 185 of 29th November 2008, converted into Law No. 2 of 28th January 2009 – urgent measures to support families, work, employment and businesses to reformulate the general national strategy on an anti-crisis basis – allows the adoption, under paragraphs 1 to 15 of article 15, of an optional regime specifically for entities that comply with IAS-IFRS accounting standards. It realigns tax accounting values with financial accounting values for some assets if determined assumptions are met and is adopted by payment of a tax to substitute IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local production tax). The items to which this realignment may be applied includes goodwill not recognised for tax purposes arising from business combination transactions that are tax neutral (i.e. mergers, spin-offs and contributions of company operations). UBI Banca therefore decided to take advantage of this option with regard to the goodwill recognised when the purchase price allocation was performed in respect of the merger between the former BPU Group and the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese Group (569 million euro approx.) The provisions of Decree Law No. 185 allow, on the one hand, the realignment of the tax value of the goodwill with the accounting value by payment of a substitute tax of 16% to be paid in 2009 and, on the other hand, the off-balance sheet amortisation for IRES and IRAP purposes of the amount released at constant rates over nine years starting from the year after that on which the substitute tax just mentioned is paid. With particular regard to the accounting treatment described below, it must be considered that reference was made, in the absence of specific provisions in international accounting standards and pursuant to sections 11 and 12 of IAS 8, to the document issued by the Italian Accountants Association (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità), “Hypothesis for the accounting treatment for the substitute tax on the release of goodwill pursuant to Decree Law No. 185 of 29th November 2008 Art. 15 paragraph 10” which allows recognition of the substitute tax and of the relative deferred tax assets at the same time. The estimated amount for the relative substitute tax (16%), which will be paid in 2009, was therefore fully recognised in the accounts for 2008 and the full amounts for the deferred tax assets were recognised corresponding to nominal rates for IRES (27,5%) + IRAP (4,82%) = 32,32%, against recognition of lower taxes. The income statement for 2008 recorded greater current taxation due to the substitute tax, amounting 91 million euro and lower taxation due to the deferred taxation amounting to euro 184 million, with a net positive effect of 93 million euro arising from the difference between the substitute tax rate and the ordinary tax rate. 538 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Amendments to IAS 39 Amendments to IAS 39, “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement”, came into force with the publication of European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1004/2008 in the Official Journal of the European Union No. 275 of 16th October 2008 . These amendments are designed basically to allow some limited possibilities to reclassify financial assets classified within “financial assets held for trading” (i.e. assets recognised at fair value through profit and loss) within other categories, under determined conditions such as for example those of the current crisis on financial markets, in order to avoid measurement at fair value. These amendments are also to be seen as moving closer to the positions of the United States FASB which already allowed these possibilities under determined circumstances. More specifically the amendment to IAS 39 allows the following: 1. in rare circumstances to reclassify any financial asset – except for derivative instruments – out of “financial assets held for trading” (asset item 20 in the balance sheet) into another class; 2. to reclassify financial assets which possess the objective characteristics of “loans and receivables” where there is the intention to keep them for a foreseeable future period or until they mature, out of “financial assets held for trading” (asset item 20 on the balance sheet) and out of “available-for-sale financial assets” (asset item 40 on the balance sheet) into “loans and receivables” (i.e. “loans to banks” or “loans to customers” – asset items 60 and 70 on the balance sheet respectively. If made before 1st November, the adjustments made on the basis of those amendments could be backdated to a date not prior to 1st July using the prices quoted on that date. However, reclassifications performed since 1st November 2008 are effective from the date on which they are performed. The provisions of IAS 39 which already allowed reclassifications out of “held-to-maturity financial assets” into “available-for-sale financial assets” and vice versa remain in force. As concerns all of the above and with specific regard to both the amendments to IAS 39 and to the guidelines on the application of the fair value criterion, as already reported in the consolidated quarterly report as at 30th September 2008, UBI Banca considered that it had no need to use the options granted and therefore it has not performed any reclassifications of financial assets currently held in portfolio on the basis of the new provisions contained in IAS 39. The valuation of financial instruments on markets considered “inactive” On 31st October 2008, the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) issued a press release in this respect entitled “IASB publishes educational guidance on the application of fair value measurement when markets become inactive”, providing guidelines on the application of fair value criteria. These guidelines are consistent with those already issued by the United States FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) and are designed to allow greater use of valuation techniques which are also based on assumptions made by management in the presence of prices formulated on markets that are considered inactive. In this case the fair value is calculated using a “mark-to-model” method, which are valuation techniques based on internal company estimates of future cash flows, discounted, for example, for liquidity risk and credit risk. In consideration of the characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio no use has been made of markto-model valuation techniques. 539 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Hierarchy of the fair value of financial instruments The fair value used for measuring the value of financial instruments is determined on the basis of the hierarchy reported below. Quotations taken from active markets (level 1): the valuation is the market price of the instrument, i.e. the price quoted. A market is defined as active when the prices quoted reflect normal market transactions, are regularly and readily available and if those prices represent actual and regular market trading. Valuation methods based on observable market inputs (level 2): these methods are used when the instrument to be valued is not quoted on an active market. The valuation of the financial instrument is based on prices inferred from market quotations for similar assets or by using valuation techniques for which all the significant factors – credit spreads and liquidity spreads – are inferred from observable market variables. Although this is the application of a valuation technique, there is no element of discretion in the resulting price, because all the parameters used are drawn from markets and the calculation methods used replicate quotations existing on active markets. Valuation methods based on non observable market parameters (level 3): these methods consist of determining the price of an unlisted financial instrument by making substantial use of significant parameters not inferred from markets and which therefore involve the use of estimates and assumptions made by management. In detail: Securities (other than minority equity investments recognised in the AFS portfolio) 69% of the securities recognised on the assets side of the balance sheet at fair value are listed on an active market (level 1), 15% are valued using the last available NAV (units in hedge funds and private equity funds), while the remaining 16% is calculated using methods based on observable market inputs (level 2). Derivatives Almost all the derivative instruments recognised within financial assets and liabilities held for trading consist of over the counter derivatives. These instruments are valued using internal models which employ market inputs. The remaining derivative instruments recognised within the trading portfolios are listed on active markets. No use is made in the valuation of securities and derivatives of methods based on non observable market parameters (level 3). No change in these valuation methods has been made with respect to 31st December 2007. Minority equity investments recognised within the AFS portfolio Approximately 80% of minority equity investments recognised in the balance sheet within “available-for-sale assets” are valued on the basis of market prices (level 1), 15% are valued using valuation methods which considers transactions which occurred in the security within a period of time considered reasonably close enough to the valuation date and, in some cases, by using market multiple methods for comparable companies (level 2), while approximately 5% are valued using methods based on fundamentals analysis of the company (level 3). Shareholdings carried at cost account for a very negligible proportion of the total. Information on the valuation models used for securities and derivatives The target instrument used for pricing securities and derivatives in the UBI Group is the software application Mxg2000 by Murex. This software takes account of all market factors in measuring the value of financial instruments. 540 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The majority of the market data is acquired through the information provider Reuters, partly in real time (i.e. prices, yield curves and exchange rates) and partly at preset times (ATM volatility for swaptions and ATM volatility and smile curves for caps and floors). The application is also fed “on demand” with a series of market parameters supplied by the provider Bloomberg: correlations, dividend yields, index and forex volatility. Fair value is calculated daily as follows: the market parameters acquired in real time by Mxg2000 (prices, yield curves and exchange rates) are crystallised at 4.45 p.m. and used as reference data for calculating the mark-to-market. The last update of the day for the volatilities of swaptions and caps/floors (and the other market data acquired on demand if necessary) is performed at 4.45 p.m.; at the end of the day closure (which occurs at 9.00 p.m.), a series of software procedures are performed which extract various information from Mxg2000 including the reference mark-to-market for the day. Securities The pricing of unlisted securities is currently calculated using the software application Risk Watch by Algorithmics, before the full migration of Group portfolios onto the Mxg2000 Front Office target system takes place. These are bonds for which the future cash flows are discounted to present values using interest rates which take into account the specific nature of the issuer (rating, business sector and the currency in which the instrument is denominated). Derivatives Input data is fed into Mxg2000 on all OTC interest rate and exchange rate derivative instruments and on derivative instruments to hedge bonds and ALM (with interest rate, equity and exchange rate as the underlying). Values are measured for all contracts which can be priced using closed formula models. In detail, the main pricing models used in Mxg2000 for OTC derivatives are: Black Yield, Black Fwd, Black Swap Yield, Cox Fwd, Trinomial, Lnormal and CMS Convexity Analytical. Derivative instruments that are not managed in Murex, used to hedge structured bonds, are valued using internal models (stochastic models with MonteCarlo simulations). Part E - market risks may be consulted for the results of sensitivity analyses and stress tests. 541 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. A.2 – MAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS 1. Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets and liabilities at fair value This category includes: 1.1. Definition of financial assets and liabilities held for trading A financial asset or liability is classified as held for trading (at fair value through profit or loss – FVPL) and is stated under either item 20 “Financial assets held for trading” or item 40 “Financial liabilities held for trading”, if it is: acquired or incurred for sale or repurchase in the short term; part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments which are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent and effective strategy of short term profit taking; a derivative (except for derivatives designated and effective as a hedging instrument – see the dedicated paragraph below). The Bank has recognised bonds held for trading and repurchase agreements, ABS instruments issued for securitisation operations and equity instruments held for trading within “Financial assets held for trading”. They also include units in hedge funds purchased prior to 1st July 2007 as well as equity instruments owned, other than those classified as controlled or held for merchant banking and private equity activities. 1.1.1. Derivative financial instruments A “derivative” is defined as a financial instrument or other contract with the following characteristics: its value changes in response to the change in an interest rate, in the price of a financial instrument, in a commodity price, in a foreign currency exchange rate, in a price, interest rate or credit rating index, or credit worthiness index or other specific variable; it requires no initial investment, or a net initial investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contract from which a similar response to changes in market factors would be expected; it is settled at a future date. The Bank holds derivative financial instruments for both trading and for hedging purposes (see the relative section below for information on the latter). All derivatives held for trading are stated initially at fair value which generally is the same as cost. Subsequently derivative contracts are stated at fair value, which is the value that the Bank would pay or receive if it terminated the derivative contract at the date of valuation. Each change measured in the fair value is recognised in the income statement within the item 80 “Net profit (loss) on trading”. The fair value of derivatives is measured by applying the methods described in the section below “Valuation Criteria”. 1.1.2. Embedded derivative financial instruments An "embedded derivative financial instrument" is defined as a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument which also includes a “host” non derivative contract such that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument behave in a way similarly to the derivative as a stand-alone instrument. The implicit derivative is separated from the host contract and treated in the accounts as a stand-alone derivative if and only if: the economic risks and characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic risks and characteristics of the host contract; a separate instrument with the same conditions as the embedded derivative would satisfy the definition of a derivative; 542 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. the hybrid (combined) instrument is not recognised within financial assets or liabilities held for trading The fair value of separated derivatives is measured by applying the methodology described in the section below “Valuation criteria”. 1.2. Definition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value Financial assets and liabilities may be designated on initial recognition under “financial assets and liabilities at fair value” and recorded under items 30 “Financial assets held at fair value” and 50 “Financial liabilities at fair value”. A financial asset/liability is designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition only when: a) it is a hybrid contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and the embedded derivative significantly alters the cash flows that would otherwise be generated by the contract; b) the designation at fair value through profit or loss allows better information to be provided because: it eliminates or considerably reduces an asymmetry in the valuation or in the recognition, which would otherwise result from the valuation of assets or liabilities or from recognition of the relative profits and losses on a different basis; a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or of both is managed and its performance is valued on the basis of its fair value according to a documented risk management procedure or investment strategy and the information on the group is provided internally on that basis to senior managers with strategic responsibilities. The Bank has placed existing capitalisation policies in the category “financial assets at fair value” because they are hybrid contracts containing embedded derivatives which significantly alter the contractual cash flows otherwise generated by the host contract. Units in hedge funds purchased subsequent to 1st July 2007 are also subjected to the fair value option because they represent a portfolio of assets managed in a unified manner for which the performance is valued on the basis of its fair value according to a documented investment or risk management strategy. 1.3. Recognition criteria The financial instruments “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets at fair value” are recognised at the time of settlement if they are debt securities or equity instruments or at the trade date if they are derivative contracts and they are valued at cost, intended as meaning the fair value of the instrument without considering any transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instruments themselves. 1.4. Valuation criteria Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial instruments in question are measured at fair value with changes recognised in the income statement under item 80 “Net profit (loss) on trading”, for assets/liabilities held for trading and under item 110 “Net profit (loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value” for financial assets/liabilities at fair value. The measurement of the fair value of the assets and liabilities held in a trading portfolio is based on prices quoted on active markets or on internal valuation models which are generally used in financial practice and are described below. 1.4.1. 1.4.1.1. Methods of measuring fair value Securities: listed and not listed For securities listed on active markets, the measurement of fair value is based on prices quoted on the relative market (that on which the greatest volume of trading occurs) as 543 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. obtained from international providers and registered on the last day of the financial year or reference period. A market is defined as an active market if the prices quoted reflect normal market transactions, are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions. Hedge funds are valued on the basis of the official end of period NAV. In its absence, the last available NAV is used prudentially adjusted if external observations show evidence of lower values. For unlisted securities fair value is measured by using valuation techniques that measure the price that an instrument would have had at the valuation date in a free transaction motivated by normal market considerations. Measurement of the fair value is performed by applying methods commonly used on international markets and also internal valuation models. More specifically, for unlisted bonds, models which discount expected future cash flow to present value (using interest rates that take proper consideration of the sector that the issuer operates in and the rating class where available) and price option models are used. For equity instruments, prices based on comparable transactions, the market multiples of directly comparable companies and capital, income and mixed valuation models are used. 1.4.1.2. Derivatives: listed and unlisted For listed derivatives the measurement of fair value is based on prices taken from active markets. For unlisted derivatives the fair value is measured by using models which discount future cash flows to present value and which are also weighted for the credit risk associated with the financial instrument. For derivatives traded with institutional counterparties, this risk is considered virtually nil because of compensation agreements (CSA) designed to minimise credit risk. 1.4.1.3. Private Equity and Merchant Banking Interests For equity instruments not classified as held for control, but held for merchant banking and private equity activities, the measurement of fair value is performed by using methods commonly accepted in market practice. For equity instruments held in listed companies, the last available and significant price quoted in the period is used; for unlisted companies resort is made to prices inferred from recent transactions concerning assets similar to those that are being valued, market multiples of directly comparable companies or capital, income and mixed valuation models. 1.5. Derecognition criteria “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets at fair value” are derecognised in the accounts when the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or liabilities expire or when the financial assets or liabilities are transferred with the substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of the transfer of financial assets or liabilities held for trading is recognised in the income statement under item 80 “Net profit (loss) on trading”, while the result of the transfer of financial assets or liabilities at fair value is recognised under item 110 “Net profit (loss) on financial assets and liabilities at fair value”. 544 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 2. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS 2.1. Definition Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS) are defined as non-derivative financial assets designated on initial recognition as such or that are not classified as: (1) loans and receivables (see section below); (2) financial assets held until maturity (see section below); (3) financial assets held for trading and measured at fair value recognised in the income statement (see previous section). These financial assets are recognised within item 40 “Available-for-sale financial assets”. The Bank has classified asset-swapped bonds, securities in US dollars, bonds and funds belonging to the “strategic portfolio” and equity instruments not classified as subsidiaries, companies subject to joint control or associates not held for merchant banking and private equity activities in this category. 2.2. Recognition criteria Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially when, and only when, the company becomes a party in the contract clauses of the instrument and that is on the date of settlement, at fair value which generally coincides with the cost of them. This value includes costs or income directly connected with the instruments themselves. The recognition of available-for-sale financial assets may result also from the reclassification out of “held-to-maturity financial assets” or, but only in rare circumstances and in any case only if the asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term, out of “financial assets held for trading”; in these cases the recognition value is the same as the fair value at the moment of reclassification. 2.3. Valuation criteria Subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets continue to be recognised at fair value with interest (resulting from application of the amortised cost) recognised in the income statement and changes in fair value recognised in shareholders’ equity within item 130 “valuation reserves”, except for losses due to a decrease in value, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the profit or loss previously recognised in shareholders’ equity must be recognised in the income statement. Equity instruments for which the fair value cannot be reliably measured according to the methods described are recognised at cost. At the end of each financial year or interim reporting period, objective evidence of impaired value is assessed, which in the case of equity instruments is also held to be significant or prolonged. If there is permanent impairment, the cumulative change, including that previously recognised in equity under the aforementioned item, is recognised directly in the income statement within item 130 “net impairment losses on b) available-for-sale financial assets”. Permanent impairment is recognised when the acquisition cost (net of any repayments of principal and amortisation) of an available-for-sale financial asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Any recoveries of value, which are only possible when the causes of the original permanent impairment no longer exist are treated as follows: if they relate to investments in equity instruments, with a balancing entry directly in the shareholders’ equity reserve; if they relate to investments in debt instruments, they are recognised in the income statement under item 130 “Net impairment losses on b) available-for-sale financial assets”. The amount of the recovery in value may not in any case exceed the amortised cost which, in the absence of previous value adjustments, the instrument would have had at that time. 545 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The recovery value of investments in listed equity instruments is measured on the basis of the market price should the decrease observed reach such a low level that a recovery is not reasonably expected in the foreseeable future. The recoverable amount for unlisted equity instruments is measured by applying internationally accepted valuation techniques. The standard method applied is based on observations of the earnings multiples of similar companies found on the market. 2.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value See the sub section on “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets at fair value”. 2.4. Derecognition criteria Available for sale financial assets are derecognised in the accounts when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all the risks and benefits deriving from ownership of them. The result of the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in the income statement under item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of b) available for sale financial assets”. Upon derecognition any corresponding amount of what was previously recognised in equity under “130 valuation reserves” is written off against the income statement. 3. HELD-TO-MATURITY FINANCIAL ASSETS 3.1. Definition Held-to-maturity financial assets (HTM) are defined as non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that an entity intends and is able to hold to maturity. Exception is made for those: (a) held for trading and those designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss (see previous section); (b) designated as available for sale (see previous section); (c) which satisfy the definition of loans (see section below). When annual and interim reports are prepared the intention and ability to hold financial assets until maturity is assessed. The assets in question are recognised under item 50 “Held-to-maturity financial assets”. 3.2. Recognition criteria Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially when, and only when, the company becomes a party in the contract clauses of the instrument and that is on the date of settlement, valued at cost inclusive of any costs and income directly attributable to it. If the recognition of assets in this category is the result of the reclassification out of “available-forsale financial assets” or, but only and only in rare circumstances if the asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term, out of the “financial assets held for trading”, the fair value of the assets as measured at the time of the reclassification is taken as the new measure of the amortised cost of the assets. 546 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 3.3. Valuation criteria Held-to-maturity financial assets are valued at amortised cost using the criteria of the effective interest rate (see the section below “loans and receivables” for a definition). The result of the application of this method is recognised in the income statement within the item 10 “Interest and similar income”. When annual financial statements or interim reports are prepared objective evidence of the existence of an impairment of the value of the assets is assessed. If there is permanent impairment, the difference between the recognised value and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate is included in the income statement under the item 130 “Net impairment losses on c) held-to-maturity financial assets”. Any recoveries of value recorded, should the cause that gave rise to the previous value adjustments no longer exist, are recognised under the same item in the income statement. 3.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is given for the sole purpose of information. A description of the measurement is given in the section “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets and liabilities at fair value”. For effective hedging of currency risk or of loans, the fair value is calculated in relation to the risk that is hedged for valuation purposes. 3.4. Derecognition criteria Held-to-maturity financial assets are derecognised when the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of the disposal of held-tomaturity financial assets is recognised in the income statement under the item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of c) held-to-maturity financial assets”. 4. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES 4.1. Definition Loans and receivables (L&R) are defined as non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The following are exceptions: (a) those which it is intended to sell immediately or in the short term, that are classified as held for trading and those that may have been designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss; (b) those designated upon initial recognition as available for sale; (c) those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration; in this case they are classified as available-for-sale. Loans and receivables are recognised under the items 60 “Loans and receivables to banks” and 70 “Loans to customers”. The Bank includes lending to customers and banks among loans whether granted directly or acquired from third parties. Commercial lending, repurchase agreements, interest bearing postal bonds and debt instruments issued by companies in the UBI Group fall within this category. 547 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 4.2. Recognition criteria Loans are initially recognised in the accounts when the company becomes part of a loan contract, which is to say when the creditor acquires the right to the payment of the sums agreed in the contract. That moment corresponds to the date on which the loan is granted. Recognition in this category may result also from the reclassification out of “available-for-sale financial assets” or, but only and only in rare circumstances if the asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term, out of “financial assets held for trading”. The value initially recognised is that of the fair value of the financial instrument which is the same as the amount granted inclusive of costs or income directly attributable to it and determinable from the outset, independently of when they are paid. The value of the initial recognition does not include all those costs that are reimbursed by the debtor counterparty or that are attributable to internal costs of an administrative character. If the recognition is the result of reclassification, the fair value of the asset recognised at the time of the reclassification is taken as the new measure of the amortised cost of the assets. For loans not granted under market conditions, the initial fair value is calculated by using special valuation techniques described below; in these circumstances the difference between the fair value that is calculated and the amount granted is included directly in the income statement under the item interest. Contango and repo agreements with the obligation or right to repurchase or resell at term are recognised in the accounts as funding or lending transactions. For transactions with a spot sale and forward repurchase, the spot cash received is recognised in the accounts as borrowings while the spot purchase transactions with forward resale are recognised as lending for the spot amount paid. 4.3. Valuation criteria Loans and receivables are valued at amortised cost using the criteria of effective interest. The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability was measured upon initial recognition net of principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest criterion on any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction (arising from an impairment or uncollectability). The effective interest criterion is a method of calculating amortised cost of an asset or liability (or group of assets and liabilities) and of distributing the interest income or expense over its relative life. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated flow of future cash payments or receipts until the expected maturity of the financial instrument. To determine the effective interest rate, the cash flows must be estimated taking into consideration all the contractual conditions of the financial instrument (e.g. payment in advance, a purchase option or similar), but future impairments of the loan are not considered. The computation includes all fees and basis points paid or received between parties to the contract which are integral parts of the effective interest, the transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts. At each balance sheet date or when interim reports are prepared any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered impairment in value is assessed. This circumstance is repeated when it is probable that a company may not be able to collect amounts due on the basis of the original contracted conditions or, for example, in the presence of: (a) significant financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor; (b) a violation of the contract such as default or failure to pay interest or repay principal; (c) the lender, because of the economic or legal factors relating to the financial difficulties of the debtor, granting a concession to the latter which the lender would not otherwise have considered; (d) the probability of the beneficiary declaring procedures for loan restructuring; (e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties; 548 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. (f) available data which indicate a substantial decrease in expected future cash flows for a similar group of financial assets since the time of the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group. The valuation of non performing loans (loans which, according to Bank of Italy definitions, are non performing, impaired, restructured and past due) is performed on a case-by-case basis. The remaining loans are valued using, collective, statistical methods which group uniform classes of risk together. The methods for determining the write-downs to be made to non performing loans are based on discounting expected future cash flows for principal and interest, taking account of any guarantees attached to positions and of any advances received. The basic elements for determining the present value of cash flows are the identification of the estimated receipts, the relative maturity dates and the discount rate to apply. The entity of the loss is equal to the difference between the recognised value of the asset and the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted back at the original effective interest rate. The statistical, collective, method is also applied to exposures subject to country risk and that is loans without guarantees to residents in countries which have difficulty in servicing their debts. These loans do not include impaired exposures for which the case-by-case valuation mentioned above is applied. The valuation of performing loans (including exposures subject to country risk) relates to asset portfolios for which no objective evidence of impairment exists and which are therefore valued collectively. Percentage rates of loss calculated from historical statistics are applied to the estimated cash flows from the assets, grouped into uniform classes with similar characteristics in terms of credit risk. If a loan is subject to individual valuation and shows no objective loss of value, it is placed in a class of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and subjected to collective valuation. Permanent impairment that is found is immediately recognised in the income statement under the item 130 “Net impairment losses on a) loans” as are recoveries of part or all of the amounts previously written down. Recoveries in value are recognised where there is an improvement in credit quality sufficient to provide reasonable certainty of prompt collection of the principal and the interest according to the original conditions of the original loan contract, or in the presence of a progressive reversal of the present value calculated at the time of recognising the impairment. Where loans are valued on a collective basis, any upward value adjustments or recoveries in value are recalculated as differences in relation to each performing loan at the valuation date. 4.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value The fair value of loans is measured by considering future cash flows discounted at the replacement rate or the market rated existing at the valuation date and relating to a position with the same characteristics as the loan valued. The fair value is measured for all loans for information purposes only. For loans subject to effective hedging, the fair value is calculated in relation to the risk that is hedged for valuation purposes. 4.4. Derecognition criteria Loans are derecognised on the balance sheet when the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. Otherwise loans continue to be recognised on the balance sheet for an amount equal to the remaining involvement, even if legal title has been transferred to a third party. 549 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The assets in question are derecognised on the balance sheet even when the Bank maintains the contractual right to receive cash flows from them, but when at the same time it has a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to a third party. The profit or loss on the disposal of loans is recognised in the income statement under the item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of a) Loans and receivables”. 5. HEDGING DERIVATIVES 5.1. Definition Hedging transactions are designed to neutralise potential losses on a specific item (or group of items) attributable to a determined risk, by means of the gains realised on another instrument or group of instruments if that particular risk should actually result in losses. The Bank uses the following type of hedging transactions, appropriately represented in the accounts and described below: a fair value hedge: the objective is to offset adverse changes in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged; a cash flow hedge: the objective is to hedge against the exposure to variability in expected cash flows with respect to the initial expectations. Only derivative contracts with an external counterparty are designated as hedging instruments. 5.2. Recognition criteria As with all derivatives, derivative financial instruments used for hedging are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value and are classified in the balance sheet on the assets side under item 80 “Hedging derivatives” and on the liabilities side under item 60 “Hedging derivatives”. A relationship qualifies as a hedge and is appropriately represented in the accounts if, and only if, all the following conditions are satisfied: at the beginning of the hedging operation the relationship is formally designated and documented, including the company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the item or transaction hedged, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposures to changes in the fair value of the item hedged or in the cash flows attributable to the risk hedged; the hedging is expected to be highly effective; the planned transaction hedged, for hedging cash flows, is highly probable and presents an exposure to changes in cash flows that could have effects on the income statement; the effectiveness of the hedging can be reliably measured; the hedging is measured on an ongoing basis and is considered highly effective for all the financial years in which it was designated. 5.2.1. Methods for testing effectiveness A hedge relationship is judged effective, and as such is appropriately represented in the accounts, if at its inception and during its life the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are almost always completely offset by the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument. This conclusion is reached when the actual result falls within a range of between 80% and 125%. 550 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The effectiveness of hedging is tested at inception by means of a prospective test and when annual reports are prepared by means of a retrospective test; the outcome of the test justifies the application of hedge accounting because it demonstrates its expected effectiveness. Retrospective tests are conducted monthly on a cumulative basis where the objective is to measure the degree of effectiveness of the hedging in the reporting period and therefore to verify whether the hedging has actually been effective in the period. Derivative financial instruments that are considered hedges from a profit and loss point of view but which do not satisfy the requirements to be considered effective instruments for hedging are recognised under item 20 “Financial assets held for trading” or under item 40 “Financial liabilities held for trading” and the profits and losses under the corresponding item 80 “Profit (loss) on trading”. See the section “financial assets and liabilities held for trading” and “financial assets and liabilities at fair value” for a description of the methods used to calculate the fair value of derivatives. 5.3. Valuation criteria 5.3.1. Fair value hedging Fair value hedging is treated as follows: the profit or loss resulting from measuring a hedging instrument at fair value is included in the income statement under item 90 “Profit (loss) on hedging activity”; the profit or loss on the item hedged attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the value in the accounts of the hedged item and is recognised immediately, regardless of the type of asset or liability hedged, in the income statement under the aforementioned item. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively in the following cases: 1. the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; 2. the hedge no longer meets the hedge accounting criteria described above; 3. the entity revokes the designation. In case 2, if the assets or liabilities hedged are valued at amortised cost, the higher or lower value resulting from valuing them at fair value as a result of the hedge becoming ineffective is recognised in the income statement, according to the effective interest rate method prevailing at the time of revocation of hedge. The methods used for measurement of the fair value of the risk hedged in the assets or liabilities hedged are described in the notes that comment on available-for-sale financial assets, loans and held-to-maturity financial assets 5.3.2. Cash flow hedging When a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge of exposure to changes in expected cash flows from an asset or liability in the balance sheet or a future transaction considered highly probable, the accounting treatment of the hedge is as follows: the profits or losses (from the valuation of the hedging derivative) attributable to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised in a special reserve in equity named 130 “Valuation reserves”; the profits or losses (from valuation of the hedging derivative) attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedge are recognised directly in the income statement under item 90 “Profits (losses) on hedging activity”; the asset or liability hedged is valued according to the class of asset or liability to which it belongs. If a future transaction occurs which involves recognising non financial assets and liabilities, the corresponding profits or losses initially recognised under item 130 “Valuation reserves” are then transferred from that reserve and included as an initial cost of the asset or liability that is recognised. If the future hedged transaction subsequently involves recognition of a financial asset or liability, the associated profits or losses that were originally recognised under the item 551 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 130 “Valuation reserves” are reclassified to the income statement in the same reporting period or periods during which the assets acquired or liabilities incurred have an effect on the income statement. If a portion of the profits or losses recognised in the valuation reserve are not considered recoverable, it is reclassified to the income statement under item 80 “Profits (losses) on trading”. In all cases other than those already described, the profits or losses initially recognised under the item “130 Valuation reserves” are transferred to the income statement to reflect the time and manner in which the future transaction is recognised in the income statement. An entity must discontinue hedge accounting prospectively in each of the following circumstances: (a) the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised (for this purpose the replacement or exchange of one hedging instrument with another hedging instrument is not a conclusion or termination if that replacement or exchange forms part of an entity’s documented hedging strategy). In this case the total profit (or loss) on the hedging instrument continues to be recognised directly in shareholders’ equity until the reporting period in which the hedge became effective and it continues to be recognised separately until the programmed hedging transaction occurs; (b) the hedge no longer satisfies the criteria for hedge accounting. In this case the total profit or loss on the hedging instrument continues to be recognised directly in shareholders’ equity starting from the reporting period in which the hedge became effective and it continues to be recognised separately in equity until the programmed hedging transaction occurs; (c) it is no longer considered that the future transaction should occur, in which case any related total profit or loss on the hedging instrument recognised directly in shareholders’ equity starting from the reporting period in which the hedge became effective must be recognised in profit or loss; (d) the entity revokes the designation. For hedges of a programmed transaction, total profits or losses on the hedging instrument recognised directly in shareholders’ equity starting from the reporting period in which the hedge became effective continues to be recognised separately in equity until the programmed transaction occurs or it is expected that it will no longer occur. If it is expected that the transaction will no longer occur, the total profit (or loss) that had been recognised directly in equity is transferred to the income statement. 5.3.3. Hedging portfolios of assets and liabilities Hedging of portfolios of assets and liabilities (“macrohedging”) and appropriate accounting treatment is possible after first: - identifying the portfolio to be hedged and dividing it by maturity dates; - designating the risk to be hedged; - identifying the interest rate risk to be hedged; - designating the hedging instruments; - determining the effectiveness. The portfolio for which the interest rate risk is hedged may contain both assets and liabilities. This portfolio is divided on the basis of expected maturity or repricing dates of interest rates after first analysing the structure of the cash flows. Changes in the fair value of the hedged instrument are recognised in the income statement under item 90 “Profits (losses) on hedging” and in the balance sheet under item 90 “Fair value change in hedged financial assets” or under item 70 “Fair value change in hedged financial liabilities”. 552 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Changes occurring in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income statement under item 90 “Profits (losses) on hedging” and on the assets side of the balance sheet under item 80 “Hedging derivatives” or on the liabilities side under 60 “Hedging derivatives”. 6. EQUITY INVESTMENTS 6.1. Definition 6.1.1. Subsidiaries A “subsidiary” is defined as a company over which the Parent Bank exercises control. Such a condition occurs when the latter has the power to govern, directly or indirectly the management and operational decisions of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence of potential immediately exercisable voting rights is assessed to determine the presence of control. Equity investments in controlled companies are valued using the cost method. 6.1.2. Associates An “associate” is defined as a company in which at least 20% of the voting rights are held or over which the investing company exercises significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a company subject to joint control by the investing company. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the company invested in but not to control or have joint control of it. Investments in associates are valued using the cost method. 6.1.3. Companies subject to joint control A “company subject to joint control” is defined as a company governed by a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Investments in companies subject to joint control are recognised in the accounts using the cost method. 6.2. Recognition criteria Equity investments are recognised in the financial statements by applying the methods described in the preceding sections. 6.3. Valuation criteria Any objective evidence that an equity investment has been subject to impairment is assessed as at each annual or interim reporting date. The recoverable amount is then calculated, considering the present value of the future cash flows which may be generated by the investment, including the final disposal value. If the recoverable amount calculated in this way is less than carrying value, the difference is recognised in the income statement under item 210 “profit (loss) of equity investments”. Any future recoveries of value are also included in the item where the reasons for the original write down no longer apply. 553 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 6.4. Derecognition criteria Equity investments are derecognised in the balance sheet when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of the disposal of investments valued using the equity method are recognised in the income statement under item 210 “Profits (losses) of equity investments”. 7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT 7.1. Definition of assets for functional use “Assets for functional use” are defined as tangible assets possessed to be used for the purpose of carrying on a company’s business and where the use is planned to last longer than one year. Assets for functional use include properties rented to employees, ex employees and their heirs. 7.2. Definition of investment property “Investment property” is defined as properties held in order to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. As a consequence, investment property is to be distinguished from assets held for the use of the owner because they generate cash flows that are very different from the other assets held by the Bank. Finance lease contracts are also included within tangible assets (for functional use and held for investment) even if the legal title to the assets remains with the leasing company. 7.3. Recognition criteria Tangible assets for functional use and other tangible assets are initially recognised at cost (item “110 Tangible assets”), inclusive of all costs directly connected with bringing it to working condition for the use of the assets and purchase taxes and duties that are not recoverable. This value is subsequently increased to include expenses incurred from which it is expected future benefits will be obtained. The costs of ordinary maintenance are recognised in the income statement at the time at which they are incurred while extraordinary maintenance costs (improvements) from which future benefits are expected are capitalised by increasing the value of the relative asset. Improvements and expenses incurred to increase the value of leased assets from which future benefits are expected are recognised: – – within the most appropriate category of item 110 “Property, plant and equipment” if they are independent and can be separately identified, whether they are third party assets held on the basis of an ordinary leasing contract or whether they are held under a financial leasing contract; within item 110 “Property, plant and equipment”, if they are not independent and cannot be separately identified, as an increase to the type of assets concerned if held by means of a financial leasing contract or within item 150 “Other assets” if they are held under an ordinary leasing contract. The cost of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if: it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the enterprise; the cost of the asset can be reliably determined. 554 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 7.4. Valuation criteria Subsequent to initial recognition, tangible assets for use in operations are recognised at cost, as defined above, net of accumulated depreciation and any permanent cumulative impairment. The depreciable amount, equal to cost less the residual value (i.e. the amount that would be normally obtained from disposal, less disposal costs, if the asset was normally in the conditions, including age, expected at the end of its useful life), should be allocated on a systematic basis over the asset's useful life by adopting the straight line method of depreciation. The useful life of an asset, which is reviewed periodically to detect any significant change in estimates compared to previous figures, is defined as: the period of time over which it is expected that the asset can be used by a company or, the quantity of products or similar units that an entity expects to obtain from the use of the asset. Since property, plant and equipment may consist of items with different useful lives, land, whether by itself or as part of the value of a building is not depreciated since it constitutes a fixed asset with an indefinite life. The value attributable to the land is deducted from the total value of a property for all buildings in proportion to the percentage of ownership. Buildings, on the other hand, are depreciated according to the criteria described above. Works of art are not depreciated because they generally increase in value over time. Depreciation of an asset starts when it is available for use and ceases when the asset is written off the accounts the accounts, which is the most recent of when it is classified as for sale and the date of elimination from the accounts. As a consequence depreciation does not stop when an asset is left idle or is no longer in use, unless the asset has already been fully depreciated. Improvements and expenses which increase the value are depreciated as follows: – if they are independent and can be separately identified, according to the presumed useful life as described above; – if they are not independent and cannot be separately identified, then if they are held under an ordinary leasing contract, over the shorter of the period in which the improvements and expenses can be used and that of the remaining life of the contract taking account of any individual renewals, or if the assets are held under a financial leasing contract, over the expected useful life of the assets concerned. The depreciation of improvements and expenses to increase the value of leased assets recognised under item 150 “Other assets” is recognised under item 190 “Other operating income (expense)”. At the end of each annual or interim reporting period the existence of indications that demonstrate the impairment of the value of an asset are assessed. The loss is determined by comparing the carrying value of the tangible asset with the lower recoverable amount. The latter is the greater of the fair value, net of any sales costs, and the relative use value intended as the present value of future cash flows generated by the asset. The loss is immediately recognised in the income statement under item 170 “Net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment”; the item also includes any future recovery in value if the causes of the original write down no longer exist. 7.4.1. Definition and determination of fair value 7.4.1.1. Properties The fair value is determined on the basis of the market value intended as meaning the best price at which the sale of a property might reasonably be expected to have been completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming: – – that the seller and the purchaser are independent counterparties; the intention of the seller to sell the assets is real; 555 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. – – – that there is a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property and for the agreement of price and terms necessary to complete the sale; that the market trend, level of values and other circumstances were, at the date of signing the preliminary contract of purchase and sale, identical to those existing at the date of valuation; that no account is taken of bids by purchasers for whom the property has characteristics which make it “outside the market range”. The procedures adopted for determining the market value are based on the following methods: the direct comparative or market method, based on a comparison between the asset in question and other similar asset subject to sale or currently on sale on the same market or competing markets; the income method based on the present value of potential market incomes for a similar property, obtained by capitalising the income at a market rate. The above methods have been performed individually and the values obtained appropriately averaged. 7.4.1.2. Determination of the value of land The method used for identifying the percentage of the market value attributable to land is based on an analysis of the location of the property, taking account of the type of construction, the state of conservation and the cost of rebuilding the entire building. 7.5. Property, plant and equipment acquired through finance leases A financial lease is a contract that substantially transfers all the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset. Legal title may or may not be transferred at the end of the lease term. The beginning of the lease term is the date on which the lessee is authorised to exercise his right to use the asset leased and therefore corresponds to the date on which the lease is initially recognised. When the contract commences, the lessee recognises the financial leasing transactions as assets and liabilities in his balance sheets at the fair value of the asset leased or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum payments due. To determine the present value of the minimum payments due, the discount rate used is the contractual interest rate implicit in the lease, if practicable, or else the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee are added to the amount recognised for the asset. The minimum payments due are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the residual liability. The former are allocated over the lease term so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the residual liability. The financial leasing contract involves recognition of the depreciation charge for the asset leased and of the finance charges for each financial year. The depreciation policy used for assets acquired under finance leases is consistent with that adopted for owned assets. See the relative paragraph for a more detailed description. 7.6. Derecognition criteria Property, plant and equipment are derecognised in the balance sheet when they are disposed of or when they are permanently retired from use and no future economic benefits are expected from their disposal. Any gains or losses resulting from the retirement or disposal of the tangible asset, calculated as the difference between the net consideration on the sale and the carrying value of the asset are recognised in the income statement under item 240 “Profit (loss) on the disposal of investments”. 556 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS 8.1. Definition An intangible asset is defined as an identifiable non monetary asset without physical substance that is used in carrying on a company’s business. The asset is identifiable when: it is separable, which is to say capable of being separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged; it arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferable or separable from other rights and obligations. An asset possesses the characteristic of being controlled by the enterprise as a result of past events and the assumption that its use will cause economic benefits to flow to the enterprise. An entity has control over an asset if it has the power to obtain future economic benefits arising from the resource in question and may also limit access by others to those benefits. Future economic benefits arising from an intangible asset might include receipts from the sale of products or services, savings on costs or other benefits resulting from the use of the asset by an enterprise. An intangible asset is recognised if, and only if: (a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; (b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The probability of future economic benefits occurring is assessed on the basis of reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent the best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset. The degree of probability attaching to the flow of economic benefits attributable to the use of the asset is valued on the basis of the sources of information available at the time of initial recognition, giving greater weight to external sources of information. The main items that the Bank classifies as intangible assets are goodwill and third party, or internally generated software, used over several years as well as customer relationships resulting from granting property loans to private individuals. 8.1.1. Intangible assets with a finite useful life A finite useful life is defined for an asset where it is possible to estimate a limit to the period over which the related economic benefits are expected to be produced. Intangible assets considered as having a finite useful life include software and customer relationships resulting from granting property loans to private individuals. 8.1.2. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life An indefinite useful life is defined for an asset where it is not possible to estimate a predictable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for a company. The attribution of an indefinite useful life to an asset does not arise from having already programmed future expenses which restore the standard level of performance of the asset over time and prolong its useful life. 8.2. Recognition criteria Assets recognised under the balance sheet item 120 “Intangible assets” are stated at cost and any expenses subsequent to the initial recognition are only capitalised if they are able to 557 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. generate future economic benefits and only if those expenses can be reliably determined and attributed to the assets. The cost of an intangible asset includes: the purchase price including any non recoverable taxes and duties on purchases after commercial discounts and bonuses have been deducted; any direct costs incurred in bringing the asset into use. 8.3. Valuation criteria Subsequent to initial recognition intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognised at cost net of total amortisation and any losses in value that may have occurred. Amortisation is calculated on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (see definition included in the sub-section “Property, plant and equipment”) using the straight line method for all intangible assets with the exception of customer relationships resulting from granting property loans to private individuals which are amortised on the basis of the average life of the relationships or in other words of the portfolio of loans granted. Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and ceases on the date on which the asset is written off the accounts. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life (see, goodwill, as defined in the section below if positive) are recognised at cost net of any value impairment resulting from periodical reviews when tests are performed to verify the appropriateness of the carrying value of the assets (see section below). As a consequence amortisation of these assets is not calculated. No intangible assets arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project) are recognised. Research expenses (or the research phase of an internal project) are recognised as costs at the time at which they are incurred. An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of a internal project) is recognised if, and only if the following can be demonstrated: (a) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it becomes available for sale or use; (b) the intention of the company to complete the intangible asset to use it or sell it; (c) the capacity of the company to use or sell the intangible asset. At the end of each annual or interim reporting period the existence of potential impairment of the value of intangible assets is assessed. The impairment is given by the difference between the carrying value of the assets and the recoverable amount and is recognised, as are any recoveries of value, under the item 180 “Net impairment losses on intangible assets”, with the exception of impairment losses on goodwill which are recognised under item 230 “Net impairment losses on goodwill”. 8.4. Goodwill Goodwill is defined as the difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as part of a business combination which consists of the union of separate enterprises or businesses in a single entity required to prepare financial statements. The result of almost all business combinations consists in the fact that a sole entity, an acquirer, obtains control over one or more separate businesses of the acquiree. When an entity acquires a group of activities or net assets that do not constitute a business it allocates the cost of the group to individual assets and liabilities identified on the basis of their relative fair value at the date of acquisition. A business combination may give rise to a holding relationship between a parent company and a subsidiary in which the acquirer is the parent company and the acquiree is the subsidiary. 558 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method involves the following steps: (a) identification of the acquirer (the acquirer is the combining enterprise that obtains control of the other combining enterprises or businesses); (b) determination of the cost of the business combination; (c) on the acquisition date the cost of the business combination is allocated to the assets and liabilities and assumed contingent liabilities acquired. With the purchase method the acquirer must calculate the cost of a business combination as the sum total of: (a) the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets sold, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree; (b) any costs directly attributable to the business combination. Business combination transactions performed with subsidiaries undertakings or with companies belonging to the same group are recognised in the accounts on the basis of the significant economic substance of the transactions. In application of that principle, the goodwill arising from those transactions is recognised: (a) within item 120 on the assets side of the balance sheet if significant economic substance is found; (b) as a deduction from shareholders’ equity if it is not found. 8.4.1. Allocation of the cost of a business combination to the assets and liabilities and assumed contingent assets and liabilities. The acquirer: (a) (b) recognises the goodwill acquired in a business combination as assets; measures that goodwill at its cost to the extent that it is the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's share of interest in the net fair values of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents a payment made by the acquirer in the expectation of receiving economic future benefits from the asset which cannot be identified individually and recognised separately. After initial recognition, the acquirer values the goodwill acquired in a business combination at the relative cost net of cumulative impairment. The goodwill acquired in a business combination must not be amortised. The acquirer tests the asset for impairment annually or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate that it may have suffered a reduction in value, according to the relative accounting standard. The standard states that an asset (including goodwill) has suffered value impairment when the value recognised in the accounts exceeds the recoverable amount understood as the greater of the fair value, net of any sales expenses and its value in use, defined by section 6 of IAS 36. In order to test for impairment, goodwill must be allocated to cash generating units or to groups of cash generating units, in observance of the maximum aggregation limit which cannot exceed the operating segment identified in accordance with IFRS 8. 8.4.2. Negative goodwill If the acquirer’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination the acquirer: (a) reviews the identification and measurement of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the determination of the cost of the business combination; 559 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. (b) immediately recognises any excess existing after the new measurement in the income statement. 8.5. Derecognition criteria Intangible assets are derecognised in the balance sheet following disposal or when no future economic benefit is expected from their use or disposal. 9. AMOUNTS PAYABLE, SECURITIES ISSUED (AND SUBORDINATED LIABILITIES) The various forms of interbank and customer funding are recognised within the balance sheet items 10 “Due to banks”, 20 “Due to customers” and 30 “Debt securities in issue”. These items also include liabilities recognised by a lessee in financial leasing operations. 9.1. Recognition criteria The liabilities in question are recognised in the balance sheet at the time when the funding is received or when the debt securities are issued. The amount recognised is the fair value inclusive of any additional costs/income that are directly attributable to the transaction and determinable from the outset regardless of when they are paid. The value of the initial recognition does not include all those costs that are reimbursed by the creditor counterparty or that are attributable to internal costs of an administrative character. 9.2. Valuation criteria After initial recognition financial liabilities are valued at amortised cost using the effective interest method as defined in previous paragraphs. 9.3. Derecognition criteria Financial liabilities are derecognised in the balance sheet when they expire or are extinguished. The repurchase of own securities issued results in derecognition of the securities with the consequent redefinition of the liability for debt securities issued. Any difference between the repurchase value of the own securities and the corresponding carrying value of the liabilities is recognised in the income statement under the item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of d) financial liabilities”. Any subsequent re-issue of the securities previously subject to derecognition in the accounts constitutes a new issue for accounting purposes with the consequent recognition at the new issue price without any effect in the income statement. 10. TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Tax assets and liabilities are stated in the balance sheet under the items 130 “Tax assets” and 80 “Tax liabilities”. 10.1. Current tax assets and liabilities 560 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Current tax for the current and prior periods is recognised as a liability to the extent that it has not yet been settled; any excess compared to the amount due is recognised as an asset. Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior years, are measured at the amount expected to be paid to/recovered from taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws in force. Current tax assets and liabilities are derecognised in the accounts in the year in which the assets are realised or the liabilities are extinguished. 10.2. Deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences unless the deferred tax liability arises from: goodwill for which amortisation is not deductible for tax purposes or the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction which: − is not a business combination and − at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are not calculated for higher values of assets for which the tax regime has been suspended relating to equity investments and to reserves for which the tax regime has been suspended because it is considered there are no reasonable grounds to assume they will be taxed in future. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised within the balance sheet item 80 “Tax liabilities b) deferred”. A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences if it is probable that a taxable income will be used against which it will be possible to use the deductible temporary difference, unless the deferred tax asset arises from: negative goodwill which is treated as deferred income; the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which: − is not a business combination and − affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised within the balance sheet item 130 “Tax assets b) deferred”. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are subject to constant monitoring and are valued using the tax rates that it is expected will apply in the period in which the tax asset will be realised or the tax liability will be extinguished on the basis of the tax regulations established by laws currently in force Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are derecognised in the accounts in the year in which the temporary difference which gave rise to them becomes payable with regard to deferred tax liabilities or deductible with regard to deferred tax assets; the temporary difference which gave rise to them is no longer valid for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities must not normally be discounted to present values nor offset one against the other 561 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 11. NON CURRENT ASSETS AND DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE – Non current assets and liabilities and groups of non current assets and liabilities for which it is presumed that the carrying value will recovered by selling them rather than by continued use are classified respectively under items 150 “Non current assets and disposal groups held for sale” and 90 “Liabilities associated with assets held for sale”. In order to be classified within these items the assets or liabilities (or disposal groups) must be immediately available for sale and there must be active, concrete programmes to sell the assets or liabilities in the short term. These assets or liabilities are valued at the lower of the carrying value and their fair value net of disposal costs. Profits and losses attributable to groups of assets or liabilities held for sale are recognised in the income statement under item 280 “Profit (loss) after tax of non current assets and groups of assets held for disposal”. Profits and losses attributable to individual assets held for disposal are recognised in the income statement under the most appropriate item. 12. PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES AND CHARGES 12.1. Definition A provision is defined as a liability of uncertain timing or amount. A contingent liability, however, is defined as: a possible obligation, the result of past events, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or (non occurrence) of future events that are not totally under the control of the enterprise; a present obligation that is the result of past events, but which is not recognised in the accounts because: − it is improbable that financial resources will be needed to settle the obligation; − the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the accounts, but are only reported, unless they are considered a remote possibility. 12.2. Recognition criteria and valuation A provision is recognised if and only if: there is a present obligation (legal or implicit) that is the result of a past event and it is probable that the use of resources suitable for producing economic benefits will be required to fulfil the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount arising from fulfilment of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date and reflects the risks and uncertainties that inevitably characterise a number of facts and circumstances. The amount of a provision is measured by the present value of the expenditure that it is assumed will be necessary to settle the obligation where the effect of the present value is a substantial aspect. Future events that might affect the amount required to settle the obligation are only taken into consideration if there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur. Provisions made for liabilities and charges include those for the risk attaching to any existing tax litigation. 562 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 12.3. Derecognition criteria The provision is reversed when it becomes improbable that the use of resources suitable for producing economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 13. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS 13.1. Definition A foreign currency is a currency other than the functional currency of the entity, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates. 13.2. Recognition criteria A foreign currency transaction is recorded at the time of initial recognition in the functional currency applying the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency ruling on the date of the transaction. 13.3. Valuation criteria At each balance sheet date: (a) (b) foreign currency monetary amounts21 are translated using the closing rate; non-monetary items22 carried at historical cost in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction; (c) non-monetary items carried at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates that existed on the dates when the fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or from the translation of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated when initially recognised during the year or in previous financial statements are recognised in the income statement for the year in which they originated. Exchange rate differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of a net investment in a foreign operation of an entity that prepares financial statements are recognised in the income statement of the individual company financial statements of the entity that prepares the financial statements or the individual company financial statements of the foreign operation. When a profit or loss on a non monetary item is recognised directly in equity, each change in that profit or loss is also recognised directly in equity. However, when a profit or loss on a non monetary item is recognised in the income statement each change in that profit or loss is recognised in the income statement. 21 “Monetary” items are defined as liabilities which must be received or monetary item is the right to receive 22 See the note on “monetary” items relating to determined sums in foreign currency, which is to say to assets and paid for a determined amount in foreign currency. The defining characteristic of a or an obligation to pay a set or calculable number of foreign currency units. for the contrary. 563 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 14. OTHER INFORMATION OWN SHARES Own shares if present in portfolio are deducted from shareholders’ equity. No profit or loss arising from the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of own shares is recognised in the income statement. The differences between the purchase and sale price arising from these transactions are recorded in equity reserves. Provisions for guarantees granted and commitments Provisions made on a cases by case and collective basis to estimate possible payments to be made connected with the assumption of credit risks attaching to guarantees granted and commitments assumed are calculated by applying the same criteria as that reported for loans. These provisions are recognised within the item 100 “Other liabilities” with the balancing entry within the item in the income statement 130d “Net impairment losses on: other financial transactions”. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Definition Employee benefits are defined as all forms of consideration given by an enterprise in exchange for services rendered by employees. Employee benefits can be classified as follows: short-term employee benefits (not including benefits due to employees for severance payments and benefits paid in the form of equity instruments) due entirely within 12 months after the service is rendered by employees; post-employment benefits due after the contract of employment has terminated; post-employment benefit plans subsequent to the termination of the employment contract and that is agreements whereby the enterprise provides benefits subsequent to the termination of the employment contract; long term benefits, other than the previous, due entirely within the twelve months subsequent to the end of the financial year in which employee rendered the relative service. Severance payments Recognition criteria Severance payments recognised in the accounts are considered a defined benefit plan and as such require the amount of the obligation to be determined on an actuarial basis and to be discounted to present values because the debt may be extinguished a long time after the employees have rendered the relative service. The amount is accounted for as a liability amounting to: (a) (b) the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date; plus any actuarial gains (less any actuarial losses) recognised in a separate reserve in shareholders’ equity; (c) less any pension costs relating to past service rendered not yet recognised; (d) less the fair value at the balance sheet date of any assets at the service of the plan. Valuation criteria As concerns the accounting treatment for actuarial gains/losses, the Bank has opted for direct recognition of these items within valuation reserves in shareholders’ equity. 564 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. “Actuarial gains/losses” comprise adjustments arising from the reformulation of previous actuarial assumptions as a result of actual experience or from changes in the actuarial assumptions themselves. The “Projected Unit Credit Method” is used to calculate the present value. This considers each single period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of severance payment and therefore measures each unit separately to arrive at the final obligation. This additional unit is obtained by dividing the total expected service by the number of years that have passed from the time service commenced until the expected payment date. Application of the method involves making projections of future payments based on historical analysis of statistics and of the demographic curve and discounting these flows on the basis of market interest rates. The rate used for discounting to present value is calculated as the average of the swap, bid and ask rates at the valuation date appropriately interpolated for intermediate maturity dates. SEGMENT REPORTING Segment reporting is defined as the manner in which financial information on an enterprise is reported by segment. No segment reporting is given in this document because the separate company Annual Report for UBI Banca is published together with the consolidated annual report of the UBI Banca Group which gives that information for the Group as a whole. REVENUES Definition Revenues are the gross inflow of economic benefits resulting from business arising from the ordinary operating activities of an enterprise when these inflows create an increase in equity other than an increase resulting from payments made by shareholders. Recognition criteria Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or due and are recognised in the accounts when they can be reliably estimated. The result of the rendering of services can be reliably estimated when the following conditions are met: the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the transaction will flow to the company; the stage of completion of the operation at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably; the costs incurred, or to be incurred, to complete the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue recognised in return for services rendered is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction. Revenue is only recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the transaction will be enjoyed by the company. Nevertheless when the recoverability of an amount already included within revenues is uncertain, the amount not recoverable or the amount for which recovery is no longer probable is recognised as a cost instead of adjusting the revenue originally recognised. Revenues arising from the use by third parties of the company’s assets which generate interest or dividends are recognised when: it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the transaction will be received by the enterprise; the amount of the revenue can be reliably measured. 565 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that takes into account the effective yield of the asset. In detail: interest income includes the amortisation of any discounts, premiums or other differences between the initial carrying value for a security and its value at maturity. arrears of interest that are considered recoverable are recognised within the item 10 “Interest income and similar”, but only the part considered recoverable. Dividends are recognised when shareholders acquire the right to receive payment. Expenses or revenues resulting from the sale or purchase of financial instruments, determined by the difference between the amount paid or received for the transaction and the fair value of the instrument are recognised in the income statement on initial recognition of the financial instrument when the fair value is determined: by making reference to current and observable market transactions in the same instrument; by using valuation techniques which use, as variables, only data from observable markets. EXPENSES Expenses are recognised in the accounts at the time at which they are incurred while following the criteria of matching costs to revenues that result directly and jointly from the same transactions or events. Expenses that cannot be associated with revenues are recognised immediately in the income statement. Expenses directly attributable to financial instruments valued at amortised cost and determinable from the outset, regardless of the time at which they are settled, flow to the income statement by applying the effective interest rate, a definition of which is given in the section “loans”. Permanent impairment of value is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it is detected. 566 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Following acknowledgment of objective evidence of impairment of the security due to the fall in its fair value, the entire cumulative reduction in value with respect to its cost of purchase was charged to the income statement. The total write-down amounted to 6,3 million euro, consisting of 3,2 million euro relating to 2008 and 3,1 million euro as a result of the transfer to the income statement of the write-downs recognised in equity in previous years. The details are given below of write-downs of equity instruments for which a significant and/or prolonged reduction in the fair value occurred with respect to the purchase value. eq uit y i nst r ument N o . shar es unit p r ice (*) co st unit p rice f ai r value f air value chang es wi t hin eq ui t y uni t p r ice f air value w rit e- d o w n o f t he eq uit y inst rument t r ansf er o f neg at i ve r eserves; el iminat io n o f p o si t ive r eserves t o t al w ri t ed o w n in t he inco me st at ement Int es a Sanp ao lo Sp a 140.167.610 5,686 796.993 5,397 756.485 (40.508) 2,519 353.124 (403.360) (40.508) (443.868) A2 A Sp a 11.200.000 3,030 33.936 3,100 34.720 784 1,271 14.233 (20.487) 784 (19.703) 1.590.271 16,430 37.497 19,790 42.915 7.286 5,1 8.515 (31.856) 7.286 (24.570) Lo nd o n Sto ck Exchang e (**) o f which currency ef fect o f L.S .E. exchang e rat e t hro ug h P&L Bres cia o n line Srl T o t al (1.868) 9.000 9,889 89 8 6 8 .515 9,889 (2.545) 89 - 8 3 4 .2 0 9 ( 3 2 .4 3 8 ) 4,1 37 3 75.9 0 9 (52) ( 4 55.755) (52) ( 3 2 .4 3 8 ) ( 4 8 8 .19 3 ) (*) The purchase value of Intesa Sanpaolo is that of the fair value of the share at the time of the merger between the former BPU and the former BLP.

Other increases and decreases include which occurred in 2008. amounts recognised against merger transactions The carrying amounts of equity investments were subjected to impairment testing for possible reductions in value. These tests involved verifying that the carrying amount recognised for each single investment was not greater than the higher of the amount resulting from discounting future cash flows to present values, inclusive of the final disposal value of the investment, attributable to each individual interest held and the relative fair value, after sales costs, as determined in relation to the value of similar companies or, alternatively, on the basis of parameters observed for comparable transactions. Details of the methods employed for estimating future cash flows are given in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, in asset section 13.3. The impairment tests, performed with the methodological assistance of an external appraiser of high standing, confirmed that the recoverable values of the investments were higher than the respective carrying amounts, except for the interest held in UBI Centrosystem Spa for which the carrying amount was written down by 3,6 million euro, due to losses in value considered permanent. 590 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 10.4 Commitments relating to equity investments in subsidiaries Commitments relating to the possible exercise of options Banca Regionale Europea: following the exercise on 3rd October 2008 by Cattolica Assicurazioni of a put option on approximately 7,66% of the ordinary share capital corresponding to approximately 7,0% of the voting share capital at a price of 173,1 million euro, no further commitments exist with regard to that company. Banca Popolare Commercio e Industria/Banca Carime – bank assurance agreement with the Aviva Group: this agreement between UBI Banca and Aviva involves two call options granted to UBI on equity investments in banks (BPCI and Carime) for which the trigger events are connected with the performance of the joint-venture or the termination of the distribution agreement or the exclusive distribution condition. If UBI fails to exercise the call options, Aviva will have the right from 30th September 2016 to exercise a put option on the same equity investments at a price equal to the fair value. UBI Pramerica: on 18th January 2008 the renegotiation of the agreements with the Prudential Financial Inc. (PFI) was positively concluded concerning the partnership in the assets under management sector involving the UBI Pramerica SGR joint venture. The agreements reached involved, amongst other things, the replacement of all the put options granted to PFI with a system of intersecting call options that are triggered by determined events. Recapitalisation commitments Banco di San Giorgio: on 11th February 2009 the Board of directors of Banco di San Giorgio decided two increases in the share capital by payment with the issue price of the new shares set at 5,38 euro per share, including a share issue premium of 3,88 euro, in order to strengthen the capital of that bank to support the acquisition of 13 branches sold by Intesa Sanpaolo. Following the approval by the shareholders on 13th March 2009, the first increase in the share capital totalling 68,4 million euro was fully paid up, consisting of 28,1 million euro paid by UBI Banca and 42,3 million euro by BRE Banca. The second increase in the share capital, totalling a maximum of 6,6 million euro, was offered as a rights issue reserved to all the other registered shareholders of Banco di San Giorgio and will be subscribed by 30th September 2009. Any shares not taken up will be subscribed by UBI Banca and BRE Banca. 10.5 Commitments relating to equity investments in companies subject to joint control Commitments connected with the possible payment of further tranches of the price By You Spa: the agreements signed in 2006 involve some increases to the price, linked to the achievement of predetermined volumes of mortgage loans to be granted by 30th September 2009. The total theoretical purchase price amounts to 33,5 million euro on the achievement of determined objectives. As at 31st December 2008, 26,1 million euro had been paid, to which an amount of 6,6 million euro was added, estimated on the basis of forecasts of volumes of mortgages that it is expected will be granted by 30th September 2009. As at 31st December 2008 the investment was recognised with a carrying amount of 3,6 million euro, after the identification of a finite life intangible asset amounting to 29,1 million euro, in respect of the higher income generated by the subsidiary Banca 24-7 as a result of the commercial agreement currently existing with By You (see the comments at the foot of Table 12.2 Intangible assets: annual changes). 591 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Recapitalisation commitments Aviva Vita: following a decision made by the Board of Directors of Aviva Vita on 19th January 2009, on 5th February 2009 an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Aviva Vita S.p.A. (50% held by UBI Banca and by a partner of the Group in the banc assurance life insurance sector) was held which approved an increase in the share capital of the company for a total of 40 million euro in order to strengthen the margin of solvency of the company. The increase in the share capital will be performed in two tranches of 20 million euro each (the first was paid at the time of the shareholders meeting and the second may be called by the end of July 2010 by the Board of Directors of Aviva Vita). The pro-rata amount to be paid by UBI Banca totals 20 million euro (10 million euro for each tranche). 10.6 Commitments relating to equity investments in companies subject to significant influence Commitments relating to the possible exercise of options Lombarda Vita S.p.A.: put/call options on the investment in Lombarda Vita form part of the banc assurance agreement with Cattolica Assicurazioni. The call option is exercisable by UBI Banca at its discretion, following the approval of the 2010 Annual Report of Lombarda Vita. The put options can be exercised if determined events occur (withdrawal from the shareholders agreement and sale to third parties) by UBI Banca and/or Cattolica Assicurazioni. Lombarda China Fund Management Company: the partnership agreement signed between UBI Banca and Goudu Securities Banca Ltd in the asset management sector, focused on the Chinese market, involves a series of intersecting put/call options which can be exercised if determined trigger events occur concerning the respective investment held in Lombarda China Fund Management. Recapitalisation commitments Lombarda Vita Spa: on 19th March 2009, the date on which the draft annual report of Lombarda Vita Spa was approved, UBI Banca made a payment of 34,93 million euro to increase the share capital. That recapitalisation for a total of 70 million euro has the dual purpose of restoring the margin of solvency and replenishing losses which exceed one third of the share capital. The statutory financial statements of Lombarda Vita report a loss of 104,5 million euro due primarily to write-downs relating to equity instruments and bonds used to cover technical requirements. The financial statements of Lombarda Vita prepared according to international accounting standards reported a loss of approximately 13 million euro. Non current assets and disposal groups held for sale Polis Fondi SGR Spa: on 8th October 2008 an agreement was signed between Sopaf Spa and UBI Banca for the sale of 9,8% at a price of approximately 1,83 million euro (amounting to 36 euro per share). At the same time, in order to acquire full control over Polis Fondi SGR Spa, Sopaf acquired the equal interests of 9,8% each held by Banco Popolare, EM.RO., Banca Popolare di Sondrio and Banca Popolare di Vicenza and the 2% interest held by Unione Fiduciaria.

Intangible assets include an amount of 29,1 million euro (stated within other increases), which relates to the identification within the amount of the interest acquired in the company By You of the intangible assets consisting of the value of the benefits accruing from relationships established with customers. The useful life was defined as lasting ten years starting from 31st December 2008 with a relative annual amortisation charge of 2,9 million euro. The decrease in goodwill is the result of the elimination of goodwill in relation to the disposal of part of the interest held in UBI Pramerica SGR, while the write-down of 247 thousand euro is due to the loss in value of software no longer used following the centralisation of Group IT activities in the consortium company UBI Sistemi e Servizi. 12.3 Other information Goodwill amounting to 569,7 million euro was recognised following the merger of the former Banche Popolari Unite Group and the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese Group which occurred in 2007 (effective 1st April 2007). That transaction was recognised in accordance with accounting standard IFRS 3, in application of the purchase method, according to which the acquirer (BPU) allocated the cost of the transaction at the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired company (BLP), recognising what remained after the allocation within the item “goodwill”. More specifically that goodwill relates to the cash generating units of the former BPU Group which benefited from the synergies created by the business combination as follows: thousands of euro Company Centrobanca Spa Banca 24-7 Spa UBI Pramerica UBI Esaleasing BPU Assicurazione Danni Banca Popolare di Bergamo Spa Banca Popolare Commercio Industria Spa Banca Popolare di Ancona Spa Total 18.602 55.032 8.759 18.501 59.929 191.104 128.635 88.496 569.058 In application of section 90 of IAS 36, the goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing its carrying value with the relative recoverable value. The impairment test was performed with the methodological assistance of an external appraiser of high standing. The value measurement used to calculate the recoverable amount of the business units (or groups of units) to which goodwill was allocated was that of their value in use or the fair value if the value in use was lower than the carrying amount. The value in use was estimated on the basis of pure income criteria using the same parameters and methods reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in section 13 Intangible assets – Item 130, which may be consulted (23). (23) More specifically the notes to the consolidated financial statements may be consulted for: i. the methods used to estimate the future cash flows of the CGUs mentioned to which goodwill was allocated; ii. the discount rate used for the valuation calculated on the basis of a capital asset pricing model; iii. the growth rate used in the terminal value, iv. a sensitivity analysis of the result of the impairment test with respect to the basic assumptions affecting the value. 599 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The results of the impairment tests were positive because the recoverable amounts were greater than the relative carrying amounts, which was also a consequence of the achievement of the synergies forecast in the Business Plan in 2008. The useful life used for calculating the amortisation of the other finite life intangible assets is reported below for each type of asset. 3 1.12 .2 0 0 8 Us e f ul lif e N e t v a lue List o f intangible assets - So ftware 36 mo nths 1.273 - Lo ng term co sts 80 mo nths 188 120 mo nths 26.201 - Other intangible assets There were no contractual commitments to purchase intangible assets. 600 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

The recognition was made on the basis of the tax legislation in force. No deferred tax assets were recognised for write downs of equity investments which satisfied the requirements for participation exemption. The rates used for calculating deferred tax assets for IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local production tax) purposes are 27,50% and 4,82%, pursuant to Law No. 244/2007 (the 2008 Finance Act). The initial balance is the amount for deferred tax assets created up until 2007 with the balancing entry in the income statement. Deferred tax assets recognised during the year amounted to 194.049 thousand euro and consisted of: 183.919 thousand euro from amortisation of goodwill deductible over the next nine years; 1.936 thousand euro from non deductible allocations to provisions; 1.512 thousand euro from expenses deductible in the subsequent year; 1.207 thousand euro from the write-down of loans to banks and customers and of guarantees issued; 3.663 thousand euro from non deductible depreciation and amortisation; 42 thousand euro from the increase in the debt relating to health insurance; 117 thousand euro from costs relating to the increase in the mathematical reserve of the pension fund and 140 thousand euro from other costs. There were also adjustments to deferred tax assets not recognised in prior years amounting to 1.513 thousand euro consisting of 1.422 thousand euro for end-of-period recognition of higher provisions on tangible assets for 2007 and of 91 thousand euro for adjustments to other smaller items. The other increases amounted to 167.547 thousand euro and consisted of prepaid IRES (corporation tax), relating to tax losses transferred under the tax consolidation (see article 117 et seq of Presidential Decree No. 917/86), which the Bank opted for as the consolidating company together with other Group member companies. The sum from merger transactions, amounting to 21 thousand euro, consists of the balance brought forward for the deferred tax assets existing as at 31st December 2007 in the accounts of the merged company Mercati Finanziari Sim Spa. Deferred tax assets derecognised during the year amounted to 14.212 thousand euro and 603 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. consisted of: 2.470 thousand euro from the amount for the year relating to long term expenses; 458 thousand euro from revaluations of loans to banks and guarantees issued; 552 thousand euro from adjustments to residual securities; 8.650 thousand euro from the use of provisions taxed in prior years; 130 thousand euro from recoveries resulting from pension fund payments; 45 thousand euro from the revaluation on a straight line basis of write-downs on loans; 148 thousand euro from entertainment expenses; 78 thousand euro from the correction of the prior misalignment existing on the staff severance provision; 115 thousand euro from the currency effect on interests in the participation exemption regime; 1.327 thousand euro from the valuation of hedging derivatives and the relative items hedged; 239 thousand euro from other assets maturing during 2008. The other decreases amounting to 167.547 thousand euro recognised against current tax liabilities are for the derecognition of deferred tax assets of the same amount entered under other increases as a result of the transfer of the tax loss to the fiscal consolidation as already reported. 13.4 Changes in deferred taxes (balancing entry in income statement) 3 1.12 .2 0 0 8 1.

F ina l ba la nc e 4 9 .2 16 (247) 6 9 .4 7 6 Deferred taxes were recognised on the basis of temporary differences between the financial accounting value of an asset or liability and its value for tax purposes. The recognition was made on the basis of the tax legislation in force. As concerns revaluations of equity investments which satisfied the requirements for equity exemption, deferred taxes were recognised on the 5% taxable portion. No deferred taxes were recorded on reserves on which taxation is suspended, because no events occurred to remove the tax exemption regime. The rates used for calculating deferred taxes for IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local production tax) purposes are 27,50% and 4,82% pursuant to Law No. 244/2007 (the 2008 Finance Act). The initial balance is the amount for “liabilities for deferred taxes” recognised in the cumulative provision until 2007 with the balancing entry in the income statement. Deferred taxes recognised during the year amounted to 15.411 thousand euro. They included 13.845 thousand euro attributable to depreciation on tangible assets, 1.240 thousand euro attributable to charging merger expenses as part of the purchase price allocation in the previous year, 272 thousand euro attributable to the valuation of hedging derivatives and the relative items hedged and 54 thousand euro attributable to other smaller items. 604 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Deferred taxes derecognised during the year amounted to 35.671 thousand euro and consisted of: 20.382 thousand euro from impairment of AFS equity investments revalued in prior years; 130 thousand euro from instalments on capital gains realised in prior years; 2.556 thousand euro from adjustments to amounts remaining on securities; 1.253 thousand euro from the currency effect on interests in the participation exemption regime; 23 thousand euro from the use of the bad debt provision deducted off-balance sheet in prior years; 5.383 thousand euro from the valuation of hedging derivatives and the relative items hedged; 92 thousand euro from the return to taxation on a straight line basis for IRAP (local production tax) purposes of off-balance sheet deductions on tangible assets; 42 thousand euro from the taxable portion of the revaluation of interests in participation exemption regime; 211 thousand euro from the decrease in the debt for the “income support fund”. Deferred taxes relating to prior years were also derecognised amouning to 5.599 thousand euro attributable almost entirely to off-balance sheet deductions on property, plant and equipment and the staff severance provision. 13.5 Changes in deferred tax assets (balancing entry in shareholders’ equity) 3 1.12 .2 0 0 8 3 1.12 .2 0 0 7 1.

Long term forecasts of the scenario for inflation led to the use of a rate of 2%. st The euro swap yield curve as at 31 December 2008 was used. This is because the rates used not only possess the characteristics of prudence always required for actuarial valuations, but they are also those which comply most closely with the last part of section 78 of IAS 19. On the other hand the turbulence on financial markets in the months immediately preceding the valuation date which still persists, led to both a significant compression in euro swap rates and to an equally significant increase in the risk of default for government and corporate securities. In consideration of the above it was considered that the sum of the euro swap curve, appropriately “bootstrapped”, and the credit spread curve, “Cash_Govt_of_Italy_31122008” (which represents a curve of implicit credit spreads obtained from quotations of benchmark Italian government securities), would constitute the best interpretation of present value st discounting according to IAS 39 for the valuation as at 31 December 2008. 620 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 31.12.2007 Mortality rate Turnover rate Staff severance advances payment Inflation rate Present value discount rate The 1999 ISTAT (Italian Statistics Office) tables and “RGS48” tables (prepared by the State General Accounting Office) were used appropriately modified on the basis of historical data for the Group Table obtained from appropriate smoothing of historical data for the Group in recent years, also taking account of redundancies forecast under the Business Plan. The probability of advance payments, calculated on the basis of historical data for the Group, lies between 1% and 4,2% while the average amount requested is between 40% and 70%. Long term forecasts of the scenario for inflation led to the use of rates of between1,7% and 2%. The yield curve used was calculated as the average of the swap, bid and ask rates as at 31/12/2007, appropriately interpolated at intermediate maturity dates and the risk free yield curve relating to prime quality (up to A+) corporate bonds on the euro market – source Bloomberg. 621 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Provisions for liabilities and charges: additional information – Contingent liabilities C o ntingent liabilities Staff litigatio n 731 Other litigatio n T ax litigatio n T o tal 3.975 12.400 17 .10 6 The liabilities governed by IAS 37, characterised by the absence of certainty over the timing or the amount of future expense required to settle presumed liabilities, can be classified as being of two types: probable liabilities; contingent liabilities (possible or remote). The correct identification of the nature of liabilities is of fundamental importance because it determines whether or not the risk deriving from an obligation must be recognised in the financial statements The recognition of a provision for liabilities and charges in the financial statements represents a probable liability of uncertain24 timing or amount and the amount recognised in the accounts represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation existing at the balance sheet date and reflects the risks and uncertainties that inevitably characterise a number of different facts and circumstances The amount of a provision is measured by the present value of the expenditure that it is assumed will be necessary to settle the obligation where the effect of the present value is significant. Future events that might affect the amount required to settle the obligation are only taken into consideration if there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur. The measurement of provisions is periodically reviewed to verify that they are reasonable. The general and theoretical legal parameters which the govern the process of determining the present value of provisions, which is performed for each single case of litigation and for the relative residual life, are given below: Details of the criteria for recognising provisions are given in Part A.2 of the notes to the financial statements “The main balance sheet items”, section 12 “Provisions for liabilities and charges”, which may be consulted. 24 623 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. • type/nature of the litigation, to be assessed in the light of the legal claims formulated by the counterparty. Various “macro-families” are identifiable in this respect such as corporate litigation, labour law cases, financial intermediation litigation, litigation generically definable as compensation for damages (resulting from non performance of contract obligations, illegal actions, violation of regulations) etc.; • degree of “innovation” in the litigation, to be assessed by considering whether the issues turn on matters already known and “weighed” by the Bank or on completely new matters which therefore require study (e.g. resulting from a change in the legislation or in legal orientations); • degree of “strategic importance” of the litigation to the bank: for commercial reasons the Bank might for example decide to end a case very rapidly even if it had grounds of defence that would allow it to resist in court for a long time. • average length of litigation, to be weighted taking account of geographical factors, which is to say the location of the jurisdiction in which the case is tried and the state of progress of the trial. In this respect a decision must be taken on the source of the statistics from which data is obtained and assistance can be obtained from the lawyers who represent the Bank in litigation and who have direct knowledge of the jurisdictions concerned for each case; • the “nature” of the counterparty (e.g. a private individual or a legal entity, a professional operator or not, a consumer or not. etc.). A contingent liability is defined as: a possible obligation, the result of past events, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or (non occurrence) of future events that are not totally under the control of the enterprise; a present obligation that is the result of past events, but which is not recognised in the accounts because: − it is improbable that financial resources will be needed to settle the obligation; − the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are only reported, unless they are considered a remote possibility. In the latter case, in compliance with IAS 37, no information is given on them in the notes to the financial statements Amounts for contingent liabilities are also subject to periodical verification because it is possible that events may occur which make them remote or probable with the possible need, in the latter case, to make a provision for them in the financial statements During the course of 2008, following the tax audit of a Group member company (BPB Property) by the tax authorities, UBI Banca received a notice of tax assessment (not preceded by an audit report) concerning the contribution of company operations to Immobiliare Serico performed by BPU Banca (now UBI) in 2003. Similar notices of tax assessment were also received by two other Group member companies which had made contributions of the same type. That tax assessment contested the contribution of the company operations and reclassified it as the contribution of a number of properties with consequent effects for IRES, IRAP and VAT purposes, because ordinary instead of concessionary rates therefore applied. The tax assessment in question quantified the increased taxes, fines and interest for UBI Banca at 12,4 million euro. UBI Banca, assisted by expert professional external opinion, considered that there were grounds in fact and in law to believe that the interpretation of the tax authorities that the assets did not constitute a unit of company operations is without foundation and therefore no provision was made for this item. With regard to the presumed date of pay-out it is probable that the various cases will be concluded within a time period of between one and five years. 624 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

The effectiveness of the merger was backdated for tax and accounting purposes to 1st January 2008. Ownership of 100% of the merged company by UBI Banca led to an accounting treatment of the transaction in a framework of mergers of entities under common control based on the “preliminary orientations on IFRS” of the Italian National Association of Auditors. As already described in the footnote to the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, the loss on the merger that arose, amounting to euro 62.511, was recognised as a decrease in other equity reserves (Reserve for transactions under common control). 14.6 Capital instruments: composition and annual changes There are no capital instruments. 627 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 14.7 Valuation reserves: composition Item s / Co mpo nents 3 1.12 .2 0 0 8 1.

The total loss calculated taking into consideration the value of the funds at the time of the default amounted to 52,9 million euro. On the other hand, the funds in question had a positive value during 2008 of 3,6 million euro. The losses on debt securities also included the effects of the write-down of a bond issued by Lehman Brothers totalling 4 million euro. As already reported at the foot of Table 2.1 in the assets part of section 2, the fair valuation of the security resulted in recognition of a loss in 2008 amounting to 3,4 million euro. The negative amount in line 1.2, “Equity instruments”, should be read in conjunction with the positive impact of line 4.1 “Financial derivatives on equity instruments and share indices” because they are linked on a management basis. 640 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Part E – Information on risks and the relative hedging policies In compliance with current regulations, the UBI Group has adopted a risk control system which disciplines in a integrated way the organisational, regulatory and methodological guidelines of the system of internal controls with which all Group member companies must comply in order to allow the Parent Bank to perform its activities of strategic, management and operational control in an effective and economical manner. The Bank works pro-actively to identify the risks to which it is subject and to define the relative criteria for measuring, managing and monitoring them. The key principles on which Group risk analysis and management are based for the pursuit of an increasingly more knowledgeable and efficient allocation of economic and supervisory capital are as it follows: - rigorous containment of financial and credit risks and strong management of all types of risk; - the use of sustainable value creation logic in defining the propensity to risk and the allocation of capital; - definition of the Group’s propensity to risk with reference to specific types of risk and/or specific activities in a set of policy regulations for the Group and for the single entities within it. This part furnishes information on the risk profiles listed below, on the relative management and hedging policies pursued by the Bank and its activities relating to financial derivative instruments: a) credit risk; b) market risks: interest rates, price, currency, c) liquidity risk; d) operational risks. A report on the general framework of the risks and uncertainties to which the Bank is exposed is given in a special section of the management report, prepared in compliance with Legislative Decree No. 32 of 2nd February 2007, which implements EC Directive No. 2003/51/EC. 660 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. SECTION 1 – Credit risk Qualitative information 1. General aspects The strategies and policies for assuming credit risk and the instruments employed to manage it are defined by the Risk Capital & Policies Area in conjunction with the Credit Area. The Commercial Macro Area, the Risk Management Area and the Studies Service also contribute to the formulation of policies. There is a particular focus in formulating the credit policies on maintaining an appropriate risk/yield profile and on assuming risks that are consistent with the propensity to risk defined by senior management and, more generally, with the mission of the Group. The priorities in the orientation of the Group's credit policies are to support local economies, families, businessmen, professionals and small-to-medium size enterprises. The particular attention paid to maintaining relations established with customers and to developing them over the years is one of the strong points of the Group and it helps to eliminate information asymmetries and offers continuity in relationships with customers with a view to long term support. Credit policies have been developed on the basis of: - macroeconomic forecasts which allow risk and expected growth for 2009 to be assessed for different sectors and geographical areas; - forecasts of growth in lending from which expected growth rates can be defined for each sub-portfolio, geographical area, sector and rating class; - a model to optimise the portfolio developed using an EVA™ approach with the objective of maximising the value created on the corporate market, while observing the constraints applied to maintain high asset quality and an acceptable risk profile for loans. Action was also taken to define operational rules for very short term transactions and for medium and long term business by using pricing sensitivity indicators, given the increase in the cost of funding that has occurred. Finally particular attention is paid to defining guidelines for the treatment of new products with adequate reporting to senior management concerning observance of risk/yield objectives, the calculation of minimum interest rates for granting loans, the quality of borrowers, guarantees received and expected rates of recovery in cases of insolvency. Credit policies are implemented in the distribution network by means of: - loan assessment procedures which are made simpler for counterparties belonging to attractive clusters and through targeted marketing campaigns; - initiatives designed to contain risk profiles and limit the negative impact on value creation in the corporate portfolio (corrective pricing action/acquiring guarantees/revision of credit lines) for counterparties belonging to unattractive clusters. 661 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 2. Policies for the management of credit risk 2.1 Organisational aspects The Bank is exposed in the performance of its business to the risk that the loans it grants will not be repaid by borrowers when they are due and must be partially or fully written-down. More specifically the risk profile for lending is sensitive to the performance of the economy as a whole, to the deterioration in the financial position of counterparties (shortage of liquidity, insolvency, etc.), or to changes in their competitiveness and to structural or technological changes they make and to other external factors (e.g. changes in legislation, deterioration in the value of financial guarantees connected with market performance). The organisational model on which the units which manage credit activity is based is as it follows: • Parent Bank units for centralised monitoring and co-ordination; • the General Managements of banks and subsidiary undertakings, to which the following report: - credit departments; - local loan approval centres; - branches; - corporate banking units (CBUs), - private banking units (PBUs). The characteristics of that organisational model not only ensure strong standardisation between the units of the Parent Bank and the corresponding units in the Network Banks, with consequent linearity in the processes and the optimisation of information flows, but they also provide a clear separation between commercial and credit functions. Loan granting activity is also differentiated by customer segment (retail/private banking and corporate) and specialised by the status of the loan: “performing” (managed by retail, private banking and corporate lending units) and problem (managed by problem loan credit units). The Parent Bank oversees policy management, overall portfolio monitoring, the refinement of assessment systems, problem loan management and compliance with regulations through the Credit Area, the Strategy and Control Macro Area, the Debt Collection Area and the audit functions of the Parent Bank and Group. Credit positions at UBI are principally connected with treasury activity performed for institutional counterparties and Group entities. Further details of credit risk management policies are given in the same section of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which may be consulted. 2.2 Management, measurement and control systems The UBI Credit Risk Service is responsible for Group reporting on credit risk in order to monitor changes in the risk attached to lending for individual banks and commercial portfolios. The reports are submitted monthly to the Management Board and quarterly to the Boards of Directors of the individual Network Banks. The reports give changes in loan deterioration rates and the distribution of internal rating classes for all banks and for the Network Banks they give changes in average risk for the corporate market, the small business portfolio in the retail market and for the affluent and mass market portfolios again in the retail market. Reporting for the “Product Companies” is based on the specific risk for the various types of lending and products marketed. Special reports on specific matters are also prepared on the main components of credit risk. 662 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. The migration to the internal ratings systems on the target platform was completed in 2008 and at present this involves the use of automatic models for private individuals and smallsized businesses, automatic models supplemented by qualitative questionnaires and a geosectoral module for medium to large size businesses and a mainly judgemental model for major borrowers (i.e. groups of companies with authorised credit of greater than 20 million euro). Automatic models produce statistical summary ratings on the basis of following risk factors appropriately calibrated according to the type of counterparty or model: economic and financial factors; performance factors (internal and external); qualitative factors (competitive positioning, corporate structure, etc.); geo-sectoral factors. The major borrower model integrates an economic and financial assessment with a structured judgmental component which examines aspects such as the shareholder base, management, sector, competitive environment and financial flexibility, giving great consideration to factors relating to the group of companies to which the counterparty belongs. Taken as a whole the models just described constitute the internal rating system (IRB) of the Group managed by the Risk Management Area and by the Credit Area. It is constantly subjected to refinement in order to increase the accuracy of credit rating measurement both for individual counterparties and at aggregate level. As recommended by the Bank of Italy circular No. 263/2006, New Supervisory Instructions for Banks, the Group adopted the standardised approach for the determination of supervisory capital from 1st January 2008. It was decided to make use, for the “businesses and other” supervisory class of exposures in particular, of external credit ratings, where available, furnished by the agencies Moody’s and Lince which are ECAIs (External Credit Assessment Institutions) recognised by the Bank of Italy. Particularly intense activity was also performed in 2008 to revise, update and adopt policies and regulations for credit risk management. Existing policies are listed below together with the principal contents: – Credit Policy, which outlines the growth strategy for the Group corporate lending portfolio; – “Country and institutional counterparty risk” policy, which sets out rules and principles for managing credit granted to resident and non resident institutional customers and also to ordinary customers in countries at risk. – Policy for the distribution of mortgage loans through intermediaries, which regulates the procedures for the use of external distribution networks for granting mortgages to non captive customers in order to contain potential credit, operational and reputational risks. – Policy on the portability, renegotiation, substitution and early repayment of the mortgages of direct customers of the network banks, which provides UBI Group guidelines for the portability (in both directions), the renegotiation, the substitution and early repayment (partial or total) of mortgages. It complies with the new regulatory framework recently introduced on the matter25 and is also designed, in agreement with 25 At the level of primary legislation: Decree Law No. 7 of 31/1/2007 (the “Bersani-bis decree”), as amended firstly on its conversion into Law No. 40 of 2/4/2007 and then by Law No. 244 of 24/12/2007 (the 2008 finance act), with 663 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. sector authorities26, with a view to minimising the times required, the conditions and the related costs (by setting minimum services standards, amongst other things) and also to equipping the Group with appropriate processes and instruments to manage the relative risks (credit, operational and reputation). – Policy on the portability, renegotiation, substitution and early repayment of mortgages granted through intermediaries, which relates to mortgages granted on the basis of standing arrangements between the companies and banks in the Group and specific distribution networks. – Policy on “single name” credit risk concentration, which sets maximum limits on exposure to a single counterparty in order to limit risks of instability that would arise from high rates of concentration of loans on major borrowers; – Risk-adjusted pricing policy, which defines a process to formulate and implement riskadjusted pricing approaches for various products which involve the assumption of credit risk; – Policy for Centrobanca structured finance transactions, which sets specific limits and constraints (especially with regard to rating classes and maturity) for the structured finance transactions of Centrobanca. It combines the achievement of budget targets in terms of volumes disbursed and profitability with appropriate management in terms of concentration and distribution by rating classes. 2.3 Techniques for mitigating credit risk The remaining positions in derivative instruments (CDS – Credit Default Swaps) existing as at 31st December 2007 amounting to approximately 341 million euro on capitalisation certificates issued by insurance companies were closed in 2008. During the same period UBI sold protection, again using CDSs, for a nominal amount of 65 million euro. As concerns derivatives, overall exposure and concentration limits are laid down, as well as qualitative constraints in terms of credit standards for individual counterparties. In addition, collateral lodgement agreements (Credit Support Annex of the International Swap Derivatives Association – ISDA) have been concluded in order to reduce the scale of exposure significantly. For derivatives transactions with corporate customers, specific credit lines are opened for derivatives products, the use of which is calculated on the basis of credit equivalents, appropriately defined for each transaction. particular reference to articles 7, 8 and 8-bis (the latter makes it absolutely forbidden to charge customers for expenses relating to the preparation, production, delivery or other expenses, under any title, relating to communications connected, amongst other things, with the laws just mentioned); Decree Law No. 93 of 27/5/’08, on the renegotiation of floating rate mortgages for the purchase, construction and renovation of a principal dwelling (cf article 3 in particular) for which the conversion into law is expected along with the definition of the convention agreement it involves between the Italian Banking Association and the Ministry of the Economy and Finance to establish the details of the terms and conditions for that renegotiation. Other significant sources include: the agreement between the Italian Banking Association and consumer associations of 2/5/2007 (subsequently amended with an additional declaration on 17/3/08 to extend the scope to include mortgages assumed following division of debt) to define the maximum amount of the penalties for early repayment of mortgages existing when Decree Law No. 7/07 came into force; the land agency memorandum No. 9 of 21/6/2007 containing initial indications concerning the issue of portability; the regulations for the interbank procedures for transferring details of mortgages for portability purposes defined by the Italian Banking Association with various memorandums issued between December 2007 and January ‘08; various interpretations issued by the Ministry for Economic Development on 17/3/’08 received for information purposes by the Italian Banking Association and distributed by it to its members on the treatment of notary expenses in portability transactions. 26 In this respect observations were made by the Antitrust Authority on 22/11/2007 and 27/5/2008 and a note was issued by the Bank of Italy in April 2008 on the “Portability of finance contracts”. 664 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Commitments to grant funds Total In consideration of the type of transactions present in the UBI Banca lending portfolio, only the ratings for “Major Borrowers” are presented. This model combines objective, quantitative judgements (represented by financial statements) with subjective and qualitative assessments based on five areas of investigation: shareholder base, management, sector, competitive environment and financial flexibility. The final rating assigned to a counterparty also gives explicit consideration to its membership of a group of companies and its strategic importance to it and/or degree of protection obtained from it. Percentage analyses of lending portfolio positions subject to internal rating The table has not been published because of the negligible percentage of the exposure that is subject to internal rating. The low percentage of cover for UBI Banca loans is because of the extremely small volume of the Bank’s traditional lending business and the prevalence of positions in financial instruments. 672 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

C. Securitisation and asset disposal transactions C.1 Securitisation transactions Qualitative information Three securitisations were performed in 1999, 2000 and 2001 by the former Banca Popolare di Bergamo – Credito Varesino, now UBI Banca under the terms of Law No. 130/99 on performing mortgage loans to private individuals resident in Italy. These operatrions were performed to support the considerable expansion in the home mortgage lending sector. All the securitisation operations described above were carried out with the assistance of SPEs established for that purpose, as provided for by Law No. 130/1999. The Bank holds no interests in those companies, in order: Albenza Srl, Albenza 2 Società per la Cartolarizzazione Srl and Albenza 3 Società per la Cartolarizzazione Srl. The SPEs selling the securitised loans appointed UBI as the servicer. UBI in its turn signed a sub-servicing contract with its subsidiary Banca Popolare di Bergamo Spa, delegating to it principally the task of managing relations with customers, the receipt of instalments on mortgage repayments and in-court and out-of-court debt collection. The consideration received by UBI Banca during the year for that activity amounted to 176 thousand euro. The Bank uses the sub-servicer support and its own Credit Area and Risk Management Area specialist departments under the direct control of the Administration and Tax Area to constantly monitor the performance of operations with the periodic production of quarterly reports to senior management and to the supervisory body on the performance of debt collection and the quality of the portfolio. During 2008 these parameters continued to be satisfactory. On 15th August 2008 the Albenza Srl transaction was closed down in advance in accordance with contracts. The right to repurchase loans, held under contract by UBI Banca Scpa, was transferred to Banca Popolare di Bergamo Spa which recognised the loans transferred in its financial statements. The relative servicing activity therefore closed down on 31st July 2008. To complete the information, the Albenza 2 Srl transaction was also closed down in advance on 15th January 2009 in a similar manner and the relative servicing activity was wound up on 31st December 2008. 678 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

D. Models for the measurement of credit risk The development of a portfolio credit risk model is currently continuing with regard to the measurement of credit risk. It uses an Algorithmics PCRE – portfolio credit risk engine – which considers the total risk of a credit portfolio by modelling and capturing the component that results from the correlation of counterparty defaults, calculating credit losses and capital at credit risk at portfolio level. SECTION 2 – Market risk 2.1 Interest rate risk – Supervisory trading portfolio Qualitative information A. General aspects The considerations that follow relate exclusively to the “trading book”, as defined by supervisory regulations. Equity investments in other companies classified as for trading according to IAS and the portfolios for balanced trading are excluded. The management of the Group’s financial risks is centred in general on UBI by means of the Finance Area. Exception is made for the portfolio for which management has been delegated to UBI Pramerica SGR by the Parent Bank and for portfolios managed directly by Centrobanca, IW Bank, BDG and UBI Banca International. B. Processes for the management and methods of measurement of interest rate risk The guidelines for the assumption and monitoring of market risk in the UBI Banca Group are defined in the policy for financial risk management. The Parent Bank intervenes in the process of managing and monitoring financial risk as follows: • definition of methods for measuring financial risks. These methods are approved by the Management Board of the Parent Bank and are submitted to the Boards of Directors of individual Group member companies for implementation; • definition of strategic guidelines and of the target range for the total ALM positioning of the Group and individual companies (ordinarily when budgets are formulated). This positioning is approved by the UBI Management Board on the proposal of the Finance Committee and is submitted to the Boards of Directors of individual Group member companies for implementation; • definition of the type of investments, risk limits and quantification of these for the Group as a whole and for each Group member company in respect of investment portfolios. These limits are approved by the UBI Management Board on the proposal of the Finance Committee and are submitted to the Boards of Directors of individual Group member companies for implementation; • monitoring, co-ordination and strategic control by the Finance Committee on developments in the management of financial risks. Reports on portfolios subject to credit risk must be systematically forwarded also to the Credit Area; 686 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. • • in the presence of particular conditions, the Finance Committee makes proposals for urgent intervention and corrective action if necessary to Group risk assumption centres; design and management of the system of internal controls, in accordance with the relative specific regulations. Further information is given in the corresponding sub-section of the notes to the consolidated financial statements which may be consulted. Quantitative information 1. Supervisory trading portfolio: distribution by residual life (date of repricing) of the financial assets and liabilities and financial derivatives. This section has not been provided because the subsequent section provides an analysis of sensitivity to interest rate risk. 2. Supervisory trading portfolio: internal models and other methods of sensitivity analysis. The graph below shows the changes in daily VaR that occurred in 2008 for the UBI Banca trading portfolios. Change in market risk: daily market VaR for UBI Banca in 2008 6,000,000 5,000,000 4,000,000 3,000,000 2,000,000 1,000,000 0 Market VaR does not include VaR on hedge funds, instruments for which a specific investment policy is employed as detailed in sub-section 2.3 687 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. VaR by risk factor calculated on the entire UBI Banca trading book as at 31st December 2008 is given below. UBI Trading Portfolio Currency risk 31-dec-08 49.333 Interest rate risk 4.998.440 Equity risk 2.233.737 Credit risk 313.783 Volatility risk Diversification effect (*) Total 216.524 (3.079.718) 4.732.099 (2) The diversification effect is given by the imperfect correlation between the different risk factors present in the portfolio. Backtesting analysis Backtesting analysis is designed to monitor the predictive power of the VaR model adopted. It uses a theoretical Profit & Loss calculated on the basis of hypothetical changes in the value of the portfolio, determined by revaluing at the time “t” the positions at the end of the day at “t-1” (assuming the positions are unchanged). The backtesting analysis for the UBI Banca trading book in 2008 is given below. Backtesting on the UBI Banca supervisory trading book recorded five cases when the P&L was exceeded with respect to the VaR limit due to conditions of particular stress on financial markets. UBI Banca Trading Book: Backtesting 2008 11,700,000 6,700,000 1,700,000 -3,300,000 -8,300,000 688 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Stress test analyses The Group has a stress testing programme designed to analyse the reaction of portfolios to risk factor shocks with the objective of verifying the capacity of the supervisory capital to absorb very large potential losses and to identify possible measures needed to reduce risks and conserve the capital itself.

Qualitative information A. General aspects, processes for the management and methods of measurement of interest rate risk The monitoring and management of structural interest rate risk - from fair value and from cash flow – is performed by the Risk Management Area of the Parent Bank and extends to include all interest rate sensitive banks and companies in the Group. The Supervisory Board of the Parent Bank defines, on proposal of the Strategy and Control Macro Area, the strategic policies and the positioning range – expressed in terms of sensitivity – for interest rate risk, for both the Group as a whole. The Management Board defines an early warning threshold for the position of the Group and exposure limits – generally expressed in terms of a percentage of the individual supervisory capital – for each company belonging to the Group. A policy of basic balancing in terms of exposure to interest risk is defined by the Supervisory Board at individual company level, although there are some specific exceptions identified by the Management Board. The methods employed for measuring interest rate risk consist mainly of gap analysis and sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis of economic value is flanked by sensitivity analysis of net interest income which focuses on changes in profits in the following twelve months. B. Fair value hedging Specific and macro hedges were performed by UBI Banca using financial derivative instruments (fair value hedges) only, in order to reduce exposure to adverse changes in fair value due to interest rate risk. More specifically, fixed and mixed interest rate loans with a term of longer than one year (macro hedge), fixed rate bond issues (specific hedge), structured bonds and some securities in the AFS portfolio were subject to hedging. The derivative contracts used were of the interest rate swap type. Activity to test the effectiveness of cash flow hedges is performed by the Financial Risks Service. Tests for effectiveness are performed prospectively when a hedge is first implemented and this is followed by monthly retrospective tests. C. Cash flow hedging UBI Banca performs no cash flow hedging in compliance with IAS rules. Quantitative information 690 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 1. Banking portfolio: distribution by residual life (by repricing date) of the financial assets and liabilities This sub-section has not been provided because the subsequent sub-section provides a sensitivity analysis to interest rate risk. 2. Banking portfolio: internal models and other methods of sensitivity analysis. Interest rate risk for UBI Banca, measured by means of sensitivity analysis in a scenario of a parallel shift in the yield curve of +100 bp, amounted to -66,95 million euro at the end of the year (+19,62 million euro as at 31st December 2007). That level of exposure includes approximately 36,65 million euro of sensitivity from hedging derivatives contracts concluded with Group member companies, in line with the financial risks policy of the Group. Gross of that component, which because it is attributable to trading derivatives is also included in the calculations relating to interest rate risk on the trading portfolio, the sensitivity of the position of UBI Banca itself stands at around approximately -30,30 million euro. During January and February of 2009 further financial derivatives contracts were entered into to bring the exposure of the network banks below the threshold set by financial risk policy and these were only partially closed on the market. Net of the those contracts, total exposure to interest rate risk (scenario +100 b.p.) amounted to -85,69 million euro equal to approximately 0,61% of the supervisory capital. The table below gives the risk measured for the periods cited for a standardised parallel shift in the curve of 200 bp, in compliance with the requirements of Basle 2, measured on the supervisory capital at the end of the period. Risk indicators – annual average parallel shift of 200 bp sensitivity/supervisory capital Risk indicators – end of year values 2008 2007 0.3% 0.2% 31/12/2008 parallel shift of 200 bp sensitivity/supervisory capital 1.3% 31/12/2007 0.3% The impact as at 31st December 2008 on net interest income assuming a shift of +100 basis points on the yield curve was -48,71 million euro. 691 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

General aspects This is the risk of changes in price as a function of fluctuations in market variables and specific factors relating to issuers or counterparties. As concerns, Information on general and organisational aspects, it is given in the section “interest rate risk-trading portfolio”, which may be consulted. The risk of losses caused by unfavourable changes in the price of traded financial instruments due to factors related to the issuer can be the result of daily trading activity (idiosyncratic risk) or of a sudden change in price with respect to general market trends (event risk, such as the risk of default by the issuer caused by a change in the market’s expectation that an itself issuer will default). B. Processes for the management and methods for the measurement of price risk The UBI model for managing specific risk for debt securities is capable of detecting the first of the two components (idiosyncratic risk) because it considers spread curves by economic sector and rating class as risk factors. Total risk on equity instruments (and OICR – collective investment instruments) is measured by considering single shares as risk factors and it includes both the generic risk component (i.e. the risk of losses caused by unfavourable trends in the prices of the financial instruments traded in general) and a specific component relating to the situation of the issuer. As concerns hedge funds, the system of limits on investments and the method of calculating financial risks are governed by a specific policy approved by the Management Board of the UBI Group. More specifically, qualitative and quantitative limits are defined to guarantee an adequate degree of diversification and liquidity, to set the maximum acceptable loss and to measure the risk profile implicit in the portfolio (maximum capital, limits on the composition of the portfolio, liquidity of funds, VaR, maximum cumulative loss). The VaR on hedge funds is calculated using the “Style Analysis” method with a confidence interval of 99% and a holding period of 2 months (consistent with the average time required to liquidate the investment). “Style analysis” is the sensitivity of the returns on a single fund to a limited set of market factors, consisting of the performances of the indices of CSFB Tremont funds in relation to different strategies for managing hedge funds. A systematic VaR is calculated for each fund which identifies the risk component given by the combination of market factors, which is therefore diversifiable, and a specific VaR (idiosyncratic), linked to the behaviour of the fund manager. Total VaR is given by the combination of systematic VaR and specific VaR, assuming non correlation between the two. At the end of December 2008, the method for calculating VaR was applied to funds amounting to approximately 508 million euro. The VaR used was approximately 43 million euro (against a limit of 50 million euro). The investments were denominated exclusively in euro (49.9% of NAV) and in USD (50.1% of NAV) and they were mainly in multi-strategy funds (more than 21% of NAV), which involve internal diversification of the management strategies, in event driven funds (19% of NAV), in long/short equity funds (16% of NAV), in equity market neutral funds (14.5% of NAV) and in fixed income arbitrage funds (13% of NAV). 693 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring currency risk Currency risk is calculated on the basis of the methods recommended by the Bank of Italy and amounts to 8% of the net foreign exchange position. The latter is calculated as the higher (in absolute terms) of the sum of the net long positions and the sum of the net short positions (position for each currency) to which the currency risk implicit in investments in OICRs (collective investment instruments) is added. B. Currency risk hedging Information on the analysis of hedging for currency risk is contained in section 2.2 on the analysis of interest rate risk which may be consulted. 697 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Quantitative information Absorption of capital for currency risk as at 31st December 2008 amounted to around 65,6 million euro, a slight reduction compared to the figure for June 2008. This trend is attributable to a progressive reduction performed in the second half of 2008 in investments in hedge funds, to which the capital requirement for currency risk is primarily associated. 1.

SECTION 3 – Liquidity risk Qualitative information General aspects, processes for the management and methods for the measurement of liquidity risk Liquidity management for the network banks of Group is centralised at the Finance Area of the Parent Bank. Some of the product companies (including Centrobanca and IW Bank) and the foreign companies, whose internal policies do not require an exclusive relationship with the Parent Bank, constitute an exception to this. Monitoring and control of liquidity risk are performed by the Financial Risks Service, primarily by verifying the level of the Bank’s liquidity requirement. This is calculated from the maturity gaps between risk-sensitive assets and liabilities (excluding items that can be readily liquidated, which constitute available liquidity). A detailed description of the processes employed to manage liquidity risk and the methods used to measure it is given in the relative section of the consolidated financial statements which may be consulted.

SECTION 4 – Operational risk Qualitative information A. General aspects, procedures for the management and methods for the measurement of operational risk Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed procedures, human resources and internal systems or from exogenous events. This type of risk includes loss resulting from fraud, human error, business disruption, system failure, non performance of contracts and natural disasters. This definition includes the legal risk of losses resulting from violations of laws and regulations, and from contractual or non contractual responsibilities or from other litigation, but it does not include reputational and strategic risk. UBI Banca Group places a particular focus in the formulation of operational risk management policies on maintaining an appropriate risk profile that is consistent with the propensity to risk defined by senior management. It is Group policy to identify, measure and monitor operational risks within an overall process of operational risk management with the following objectives: – to identify the causes of prejudicial events at the origin of operational losses and consequently to increase corporate profitability and improve operational efficiency, by identifying critical areas and monitoring and optimising the system of controls; – to optimise policies to mitigate and transfer risk, such as for example, the use of insurance, on the basis of the magnitude and effective exposure to risk; – to optimise the allocation and absorption of capital for operational risk and provision policies in a perspective of creating value for shareholders; – to support decision-making processes concerning the start up of new business, activities, products and systems; – to develop an operational risk culture at business unit level increasing awareness throughout all the organisational structure; – to respond to the regulatory requirements of the New Basel Accord on Capital for banks and banking groups. The organisational model developed for operational risk management assigns duties and responsibilities both locally and centrally to the legal entities involved at Group level. An Operational Risk Committee has been formed at the Parent Bank with policy-making and supervision duties for the overall process of operational risk management, while a specific service (“Operational Risks Service”) is also in operation within the Risk Management Area dedicated to the planning, development and maintenance of methods for detecting, measuring and monitoring operational risk and for verifying the effectiveness of measures to mitigate it and of the connected reporting systems. The Operational Risks Service receives support from the Methods and Systems Service that operates within the Risk Management Area for the design and development of the AMA methods and system structure and for maintenance of the IT environment. Within the Risk Capital & Policies Area, there is also a Financial Service and Operational Risk Policies Service, responsible, in co-operation with the other organisational units concerned, for defining policy for the management, monitoring and mitigation of operational risk, including policies for insurance risk management and for the Models and Processes Validation Service responsible for the validation process. The organisational model is structured with four levels of responsibility for the individual legal entities of the Group: – Operational Risk Officer (ORO): these are responsible within their legal entities for implementing the overall framework for the management of operational risks; 717 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. – Local Operational Risk Support Officer (LORSO): the main role acting in support of the Operational Risk Officer in the general management of operational risks in the legal entities to which they belong. – Risk Champion (RC): operationally responsible for supervising operational risk management for the purposes of overall validation in their business areas, co-ordinating and supporting the relative risk owners. They support the risk monitoring process and participate in the definition and implementation of mitigation strategies; – Risk Owners (RO): their task is to recognise and report actual and/or potential operational loss events which occur or are detected in the course of everyday operations. They participate in the implementation of corrective or improvement action decided at higher levels designed to reduce exposure to risk. Management, measurement and control systems The operational risk management system of the Group is composed of the following: – a decentralised process for collecting data on operational losses (loss data collection) designed for integrated and systematic detection of damaging events that occur which result in an actual loss; – a structured process for mapping and assessing risk scenarios (risk assessment) intrinsic to the business areas of the Group, where the intention is to furnish critical operational self diagnosis of potential exposure to the risk of future losses, of the adequacy of controls and of the mitigation measures in place; – a database of operational losses incurred by the sector nationally since 2003. The Group has participated in the DIPO (Italian database of operational losses) project launched by the ABI (Italian Banking Association) to exchange loss data in the sector since it commenced; – a system for measuring economic and supervisory capital to calculate the absorption of supervisory capital by operational risk for each business unit using a standardised and AMA approach. The measurement of operational risk using the AMA system, currently subject to authorisation, is of the “loss distribution approach” type and it was developed centrally by the Risk Management Area of the Parent Bank. Reporting A reporting system has been implemented to support the monitoring of operational risks which furnishes the information needed for proper management, measurement and mitigation of the levels of risk assumed by the Group. That system is structured with the same levels of responsibility employed by the organisational model to support the multiple information requirements intrinsic to the federal model of Group organisation. The objective is to guarantee standardised information and allow periodic verification of the operational risks assumed as input for the definition of management strategies and objectives that are consistent with standard levels of acceptable risk. Reporting to corporate bodies, the senior management of the Parent Bank and of the network banks and to the Operational Risks Committee is periodically performed centrally by the Operational Risks Service. It includes an analysis at differing degrees of detail and with differing frequencies (monthly/quarterly) according to requirements of the following: an analysis of data on internal losses and the relative recoveries together with a comparison with external data for the sector nationally; the results of the assessment of risk exposure with the identification of areas of vulnerability; and a description of the action needed to prevent and mitigate risk and of the relative effectiveness. 718 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Risk transfer mechanisms The UBI Banca Group renewed the insurance policies expiring at the end of 2008 to cover the principal transferable operational risks. It intends to use these to reduce its capital requirement by means of the AMA approach, bringing them into line with prudential supervisory regulations (Bank of Italy Circular No. 263/2006). The policies were taken out by UBI Banca Scpa in its own name and on behalf of the network banks and product companies of the Group concerned. Legal risk The Bank is party to a number of court proceedings and legal actions of varying nature arising from the ordinary performance of its business. While it is not possible to predict final outcomes with certainty, it is considered that an unfavourable conclusion of these proceedings, both taken singly or as a whole, would not have a significant effect on the financial and economic position of the Bank. Quantitative information The graphs below show that the main sources of operational risk in the period January 2004December 2008 were “external context” (78% of impacts and 26% of frequencies) and “processes” (20% of impacts and 69% of frequencies). The “external context” risk drivers included human deeds performed by third parties and not directly under the control of the Bank, such as for example thefts and robberies, paper fraud, damage caused by natural events (earthquakes, floods, etc.) and other external events. The “process” risk drivers included unintentional errors and incorrect application of regulations. Percentage of operational losses by risk driver (detection January 2004 - December 2008) Profit impact 3% 26% 20% 2% 0% 1% 69% 78% Externa causes (external context) Persons (human factor) Processes Systems The changes that occurred in the impacts gross of insurance and other external recoveries showed a constant trend with two exceptions in 2007 and 2008. Events of an exceptional nature were detected over the last two years. A dispute arose in 2007 concerning transactions in derivative instruments which generated a loss accounting for 60% of the total impacts detected in 2007. The year 2008, on the other hand saw the detection of an “external fraud" as a consequence of the Madoff affair which had an impact on the income statement of 54,2 million euro (92% of total impacts detected in 2008). 719 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. Distribution of operational losses by year of detection (January 2004 - December 2008) 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2004 2005 2006 Event frequency 2007 2008 Profit impact List of the five largest losses from January 2004 to December 2008 Business Line Basilea Event Type Trading & Sales External fraud Trading & Sales Customers, products and professional practices Agency Services Executon, delivery and processes management Agency Services Executon, delivery and processes management Commercial Banking Damage from External events Impact 54.200.000 3.872.500 3.398.138 555.622 489.118 recovery 394.124 466.258 Almost all the operationally losses (gross of insurance recoveries and other external recoveries) detected in the period 2004–2008 were concentrated in the event types “external fraud” (87%) and “execution, delivery and process management” (9%). The data for the banking sector nationally (DIPO-ABI Association) for the same period show operational losses concentrated in the event classes “customers, products and professional practices” accounting for 39%, “external fraud” (21%) and “execution, delivery and process management” (16%). 720 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

Part F – Information on shareholders’ equity SECTION 1 – Shareholders’ Equity A. Qualitative information Shareholders’ equity is defined by international accounting standards in a residual manner as “what remains of an entity’s assets after all the liabilities have been deducted”. From a financial point of view equity is the means measured in monetary form contributed by the owners or generated by the entity. Operational levers are developed on a broader aggregate, consistent with the supervisory aggregate, which are characterised not just by equity in the strict sense but also by intermediate aggregates such as innovative instruments, hybrid instruments and subordinated liabilities. As the Parent Bank, UBI Banca performs supervision and co-ordination activities for the companies in the Group and, without prejudice to their business and company by-law independence, lays down appropriate policies for them. The Parent Bank analyses and co-ordinates capital requirements on the basis of the Group development plan, the related risk profiles and, very importantly, in compliance with supervisory constraints and acts as a privileged counterparty in gaining access to capital markets applying an integrated approach to optimising capital strength. 722 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. B. Quantitative information The summary table below gives the origin, the availability for use and distribution of the items of shareholders’ equity (figures given to one hundredth of a euro) in compliance with Art. 2427, paragraph 1, No. 7 bis of the Italian Civil Code. Errore. Il collegamento non è valido. A = for increase in the share capital B = to cover losses C = for distribution to shareholders (1) Amounts under suspended tax regime (2) Following the merger with Banca Lombarda Piemontese, the issue premium reserve increased by 5.790.132.233,70 euro. In consideration of the uncertainties over whether the reserve that arose following the merger transaction recognised in the accounts in accordance with IFRS 3 was available for distribution to shareholders, it was felt advisable to consider only that part which existed previously amounting to 1.310.245.825,91 euro as distributable to shareholders until the government furnished clarifications. (3) Distribution to shareholders is permitted in observance of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Art. 2445 of the Italian Civil Code. If it is used to cover losses, no distribution can be made until the reserve has been replenished. (4) Only that part of the reserve which exceeds one fifth of the share capital is available, even for distribution (Art. 2430, paragraph 1, Italian Civil Code).

The table below shows the absorption of supervisory capital as a function of the overall capital adequacy requirement. Compliance with that requirement at the end of the year involved a capital requirement of 1.275,2 million euro. The total capital ratios rose from 39,25% to 64,25%. Finally, the tier 1 capital ratio as at 31st December 2008 stood at 45,89% compared to 29,33% the previous year. 726 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. B.

The remuneration in 2008 for 13 senior managers with strategic responsibility including the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager was governed by specific individual agreements and in addition to a fixed component of remuneration there was also a variable component linked to the achievement of short term objectives. The following types of remuneration were paid (the relevant accounting standard may be consulted for definitions): a)Short-term benefits Short-term benefits include salaries, social security contributions, indemnities to replace vacations not taken, absences for illness, paid leave and benefits such as medical care, housing, and company car. Short term benefits also include the variable part of remuneration, payment of which is dependent on meeting annual qualitative and quantitative objectives linked to the Business Plan. This component accounts on average for approximately 15% of the Bank’s total labour costs for the 13 senior managers with strategic responsibilities. b) Benefits subsequent to termination of employment Post-employment benefits include payments made to pensions funds in relation to supplementary pensions, insurance premiums relating to health policies to reimburse medical expenses incurred and other provisions for severance pay. c) Other long term benefits There are no medium to long term incentive plans. d) Indemnity for termination of employment This item includes payments made if the period of notice required under contracts is increased in order to give greater protection to the operational continuity of the Group. 729 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

(2) The amount relates to remuneration for the post of Member of the Management Board of UBI Banca from 27/11/2008. (3) For Mr. Auletta Armenise the remuneration received from 01/12/2008 is given because until 30/11/2008 the remuneration received for positions held in Group member companies was paid directly to UBI Banca. (4) The remuneration was paid at the end of 2007 and the amounts stated in the 2007 financial statements already included those sums. (5) The amount is inclusive of the special remuneration amounting to 150.000 euro for the position of board member appointed to oversee the internal control system pursuant to Art. 43 bis of the corporate by-laws. (6) The remuneration accruing to Mr. Riccardo Sora for his position as director of Banca Carime was not paid to him because Mr. Sora was an employee of Banca Popolare di Bergamo during the period in question. (7) The column “other remuneration” gives details of emoluments paid by other Group member companies and also, where relevant, reimbursement of expenses and employee salaries. 732 UBI Banca S.c.p.A.

(2) Some children who were minors attained eighteen years of age in 2008 and no longer fell within the scope of the Consob resolution (the balance as at 31.12.2008 was therefore stated net of any shares that may have been held by those persons). 734 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. 2. Transactions with related parties In compliance with CONSOB communications No. 97001574 of 20th February 1997, No. 98015375 of 27th February 1998, No. 1025564 of 6th April 2001 and lastly with communications No. DEM/6064293 of 28th July 2006 and No. 15519 of 28th July 2006, we report that all transactions carried out by the Parent Bank with related parties were conducted in observance of correct principles both in substance and form under conditions analogous to those applied for transactions with independent parties. Following the repeal by the aforementioned CONSOB Communication of 14th April 2005 of the third paragraph of article 71-bis of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971/1999, by which the previous Communication No. 2064231 of 30th September 2002 defined the notion of related parties, since that definition is no longer valid, in accordance with IAS 24, a related party is considered to be related to the issuer if: a) it directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the issuer; or it holds an interest that allows it to exercise significant influence over the issuer; b) it is an associate of the issuer (as defined in IAS 28 - investments in associates); c) it is a joint venture in which the issuer is a venturer; d) he/she is a manager with strategic responsibilities of the issuer or of its parent, where a manager with strategic responsibility is intended as meaning those who have power and responsibility for the planning, management and control of the activities of the issuer including its directors; e) he/she is a close member of the family of one of the individuals referred to in (a) or (d) (a close family member is intended as meaning those who are potentially able to influence an individual related to the issuer or be influenced by them in their relations with the issuer); f) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by any individual referred to in (d) or (e) or any individual referred to in (d) or (e) holds significant voting power in such entity, either directly or indirectly; g) it is a pension fund for the employees of the issuer or of any entity related to it. In particular, the parent company UBI Banca and UBI Sistemi e Servizi provide the subsidiaries of the parent with a series of services, governed by intercompany contracts drawn up in accordance with the principles of consistency, transparency and uniformity in line with the organisational model of the Group. Under this model, strategic, technical, operational and management activities are centralised at UBI Banca and the service company. The prices agreed for the services provided under the contracts were determined on the basis of market prices or, where appropriate reference parameters could not be found in the marketplace, in accordance with the particular nature of the services provided, on the basis of the cost incurred. The main intragroup contracts existing at the end of the year included those which implement the centralisation of activities in the Governance, Support and Business Areas of the UBI Banca and UBI Sistemi e Servizi and they involved the Parent Bank, the service company and the main banks in the Group (Banca Popolare di Bergamo SpA, Banco di Brescia Spa, Banca Regionale Europea Spa, Banca Popolare Commercio e Industria Spa, Banca Carime Spa, Banca Popolare di Ancona Spa, Banco San Giorgio Spa, Banca di Valle Camonica Spa and Banca Lombarda Private Investments Spa) and also contracts to implement the “national fiscal consolidation” (in accordance with articles 117 to 129 of Presidential Decree No. 917/1986, the consolidated law on income tax) concluded by the Parent Bank with thirty four Italian companies in the Group. We report with regard to transactions between the Parent Bank and all of its related parties that no atypical and/or unusual transactions were performed; furthermore no transactions of that type were even performed with counterparties that were not related parties. Atypical and/or unusual transactions, as indicated in Consob Communications No. 98015375 of 27th February 1998 and No. 102564 of 6th April 2001, are intended to 735 UBI Banca S.c.p.A. mean all those transactions which, because of their significance/entity, the nature of the counterparties, the content of the transaction (even in relation to ordinary operations), the way in which the transfer price is decided and the timing of the event (close to the end of the financial year) might give rise to doubts concerning: the correctness/completeness of the information in the accounts, a conflict of interests, the security of the companies assets and the rights of minority shareholders.

The system is based on the measures and principles contained: - in the regulations governing listed issuers set out in the Consolidated Finance Act and in the related rules to implement them adopted by the Consob (Italian securities market authority); - in the regulations governing banks, with particular reference to specific regulations concerning co-operative ‘popular’ banks set out in the Consolidated Banking Act; - in the Corporate Governance Code drawn up by Borsa Italiana Spa (the March 2006 version). UBI Banca has adopted the “corporate governance code” (March 2006 version), a document which is designed principally for listed companies that have adopted a traditional governance model. Article 12 of that code states that if a two tier or one tier management and control system is adopted “the above articles shall apply insofar as compatible, adapting individual provisions to the particular system adopted, consistently with the objectives of good corporate governance, transparency of information and protection of investors and the markets pursued by the Code and in the light of the criteria provided by this article”. Therefore, in compliance with the provisions of Article 12.P.3 of the corporate governance code this report is specifically designed to provide a detailed description of the procedures by which that code has been applied by the Bank. It also reports those the standards with which the Bank fully complies with and those with which it does not, even partially, on a “comply or explain” basis. This is partly because the Bank must consider its status as a cooperative banking company which, as such, demands strict compliance with regulations contained in the Consolidated Banking Act and with the consequent supervisory instructions issued by Bank of Italy. The report has also been drawn up in compliance with the recommendations mentioned issued by Borsa Italiana and also in implementation in particular of article 89-bis of the Issuers' Regulations which requires listed companies to publish an annual report "on adherence to their codes of conduct and the fulfilment of the commitments arising from them"1, to be included in full in the report on operations. *** This report also contains information on corporate governance and ownership structure required by Art. 123 bis of Legislative Decree. 58/1998 (hereinafter the Consolidated Finance Act). *** On 4th March 2008, the Bank of Italy issued supervisory instructions on the organisation and corporate governance of Banks in which it laid down principles and practical guidelines designed to ensure the pursuit of business objectives and to guarantee sound and prudent management. Those supervisory instructions, which concern the organisational and governance structure of banks, required careful assessments to be made of possible changes to the by-laws which led to the formulation of amendments to the corporate by-laws of UBI Banca which will be submitted to the next shareholders’ meeting for their approval. Following the approval of the by-law amendments just mentioned. UBI Banca will be able to confirm – as part of a corporate governance project to be drawn up by 30th June 2009 – that it is adopting by-laws and an internal ogranisation that are consistent with the principles contained in the Bank of Italy instructions. 1 That article 89 bis cited then continues to specify that the report must contain information: a) on compliance with each requirement of the code of conduct; b) on reasons for any non compliance with the code of conduct; c) on any conduct pursued in place of that recommended by the code of conduct. 756 Report on Corporate governance In this respect, this report has been prepared on the basis of the corporate by-laws currently in force. Governance of UBI Banca UBI Banca is a “popular” bank incorporated in the form of a joint stock co-operative company. As such, UBI Banca is required to comply with the provisions of the Italian Civil Code concerning co-operatives (excluding those expressly listed in Article 150 bis of Legislative Decree No. 385/1993) and also with those governing joint stock companies, to the extent that they are not in conflict with the laws governing co-operatives, as indicated in Article 2519 of the Italian Civil Code. Express details of the Bank’s particular characteristics as a cooperative are given in the separate company financial report of UBI Banca Scpa, an integral part of the report on operations, which was drawn up in compliance with Article 2545 of the Italian Civil Code and states the criteria followed in company operations to pursue the Bank's mutual objects. The legal nature of a “popular” co-operative bank lies in the circumstance that each registered shareholder of the co-operative is entitled to one vote whatever the number of shares possessed and no one can hold more than 0.5% of the share capital, in accordance with Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act. An exception to the maximum 0,50% limit is made for collective investment organisations, for which the regulatory limits specific to each of them apply. In recent years the Italian Parliament has attempted on several occasions to examine the legislation governing “popular” banks with a view to making changes with regard to the maximum limit on shares that may be held by individual and institutional investors. UBI Banca has expressed its opinion in favour of raising the limits on shareholdings, but at the same time conserving the regulations on “popular” banks, especially with regard to the principle of per capita voting. UBI Banca has adopted a two tier system of management and control, which is considered better suited to the governance requirements of the Parent Bank, UBI Banca, and at the same time more appropriate to strengthening the protection of registered and unregistered shareholders, especially through the activity of the Supervisory Board, a body appointed directly by the registered shareholders and representing them. The distinguishing features of the two tier system lie in the distinction between: • strategic supervision and control functions, assigned to the Supervisory Board, which holds some of the powers which in a traditional system belong to a shareholders' meeting (approval of financial statements, appointment of the members of the management body and determination of the relative remuneration) and to the Board of Statutory Auditors and also fulfils some "senior management" functions, insofar as it is called upon to approve general guidelines and strategic policies for the Bank and the Group, submitted to it by the Management Board (Article 46 of the corporate by-laws); • corporate management functions, assigned to the Management Board, which has exclusive authority to perform all ordinary and extraordinary operations necessary to pursuit of the company objects, in compliance with the general guidelines and strategic policies approved by the Supervisory Board (Article 37 of the Corporate By-laws). This division of functions identifies distinct aspects of the operational life of the Bank and assigns them to the corporate bodies just mentioned which, with their respective roles and responsibilities, determine a corporate governance model that is more consistent with the structure of the Bank and the Group in the context of a single business plan, characterised by ongoing dialogue and interfunctional co-operation. The Bank is listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock market) organised and managed by Borsa Italiana Spa. Accordingly, UBI Banca is also required to comply with the regulations for listed issuers contained in the Consolidated Finance Act and in the regulations to implement that act issued by the Consob. 757 Report on Corporate governance Composition of the share capital The share capital of UBI Banca Scpa is composed entirely of ordinary shares traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock market) managed by Borsa Italiana Spa and as at 31st December 2008 it amounted to 1.597.864.755 euro divided into 639.145.902 shares with a nominal value of 2,50 euro each, and on that same date registered shareholders numbered 85.280. There are no restrictions on the transfer of shares, since the shares are transferable in accordance with the law (Art. 15 of the corporate by-laws, available on the website www.ubibanca.it in the English part in the section Corporate Governance, Corporate Documents). Since it is a “popular” bank, there is a limit on shareholdings pursuant to Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act and to Art. 18 of the corporate by-laws, which states that no one may hold more than the maximum limit permitted by law, which is 0,50% of the share capital (this limit does not apply to collective investment organisations for which limits laid down in the rules of each of them apply). With regard to the limit to the interest that can be held in the share capital of ‘popular’ banks established by legislation in force, the Bank sent the parties concerned notice, pursuant to Article 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act, relating to breach of the ban on holding shares in excess of 0.50%. Acceptance clauses exist solely for admission to the status of registered shareholder. Persons wishing to become registered shareholders must present a certificate of participation in the centralised administration system and a written application to the Management Board containing not only details of the shares possessed but also personal particulars, address, citizenship and all other information and/or declarations required by law or the by-laws or requested in general by the Bank. For the purposes of admission as a registered shareholder certificates testifying to the ownership of at least 250 shares must be presented. With account taken of the provisions of the law on ‘popular’ co-operative banks, all decisions on the acceptance of applications for admission as a registered shareholder are taken by the Management Board, in consideration of the general criteria recommended by the Supervisory Board, with exclusive regard to the objective interests of the Bank, including those of its independence and autonomy and to observance of the spirit of the cooperative form. The decisions are then communicated to the parties concerned. For the purposes of assessing these requirements, account is taken of any previous relations between the persons applying and group member companies. The rejection of an application to become a registered shareholder, for those who lawfully possess shares in the Bank, has the only effect of not allowing the exercise of rights other than those which have a financial content. No reports of shareholdings greater than 2% have been received, other than those received in April 2007 at the time of the merger with Banca Lombarda e Piemontese: Carlo Tassara Spa (2,282%), Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo (2,278%), Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lombardia (2,255%). On the basis of information received directly by the Group, at the date of this report the percentage shareholdings held are as follows: - Carlo Tassara Spa (2,004%), - Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo (2,280%) - Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lombardia (2,255%). There are no shares which confer special controlling rights over UBI Banca. There are no share investment programmes for employees at UBI Banca which exclude the direct exercise of voting rights. 758 Report on Corporate governance The exercise of voting rights is subject above all to acquiring the status of registered shareholder which is acquired following approval for admission by the Management Board, with enrolment in the shareholders register. Those persons in possession of the right to vote for which the communication has been made to the Bank by the intermediary appointed in accordance with Art. 2370 of the Italian Civil Code and with any special provisions of the law or regulations, at least 2 working days prior to the date set for the first session, may participate in shareholders’ meetings in accordance with the provisions of the law. Registered shareholders may not withdraw shares or the relative certification before the meeting has taken place. Only persons who have been registered shareholders for at least 90 days from the date of entry in the shareholder register may attend the shareholders’ meetings, exercise voting rights and be eligible for appointment to corporate bodies (Art. 25 of the corporate by-laws) In compliance with Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act and Art. 26 of the corporate bylaws, registered shareholders have only one vote, irrespective of the number of shares held. Rights over capital and profits are in proportion to the shares owned (Art. 17 of the by-laws); nevertheless if a shareholder fails to transfer ownership of shares in excess of the 0,50% limit of the share capital within one year of the violation being reported by the Bank, the relative ownership rights maturing up to the time of the sale of the excess shares are acquired by the Bank. UBI Banca has received the following communications in relation to: • the constitution, on 28th May 2007, of an unofficial association named "Associazione Banca Lombarda e Piemontese" located in Brescia to which more than 100 former shareholders of the former Banca Lombarda e Piemontese belong who were previously members of the "Banca Lombarda e Piemontese Syndicate" and who, as a result of the merger between BLP and BPU have become shareholders of UBI Banca. Together they hold approximately more than 10% of the share capital of UBI Banca. An extract of the main clauses of the by-laws of the association was published in the newspaper ItaliaOggi on 5th June 2007; • the constitution, on 23rd November 2007, of the unofficial association named "Gli Amici di UBI Banca", located in Bergamo, by 28 registered shareholders of UBI Banca Scpa. An extract of the main clauses of the by-laws of the association was published in the newspaper ItaliaOggi on 30th November 2007. While these associations do not qualify as shareholders' agreements pursuant to Article 122 of Legislative Decree No. 58/98, the members of both of them have nevertheless fulfilled public disclosure obligations as required by law in relation to some of the clauses of their by-laws, insofar as it is necessary and in view of the legally binding nature of the decree mentioned and the consequences of failure to comply with it. No authorisations exist as at the date of this report for increases in the share capital or for the issue of convertible bonds. As concerns the purchase of own shares, a shareholders’ meeting of 10th May 2008 authorised the Management Board – until the shareholders’ meeting convened to pass resolutions for the distribution of profits for the year ended 31st December 2008 – to purchase own shares at a price not higher than the official price or the closing price in the market session prior to each individual transaction to be charged to the “reserve for the purchase of own shares” amounting to 64.203.000,00 euro, with the further limit that the shares held as a result of trading performed do not exceed a maximum number equal to 1% of the share capital. That same shareholders’ meeting also authorised the Management Board to sell all or part of the own shares that the Bank might hold at a price not less than the official price or the closing price in the session prior to each individual sales transaction, with the understanding that the amount from the sale of the shares held returns, up until the carrying amount, to the funds held in the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”. The mandate to purchase own shares was not exercised in 2008 and in the period until the date of this report. ********* 759 Report on Corporate governance The shareholders’ agreement signed on 18th January 2008 by UBI Banca and the Prudential USA concerning the joint venture, UBI Pramerica SGR Spa (“SGR”) grants rights to purchase to the parties (call options) if certain predetermined events occur. More specifically, in the event of a “change of control” of UBI Banca (this being understood as any operation whereby i) an entity directly or indirectly purchases more than 30% of the share capital with voting rights of UBI Banca; ii) UBI Banca merges or performs another extraordinary operation with another legal entity and as a consequence UBI Banca ceases to exist or the legal entity party to the operation holds more than 30% of the share capital with voting rights subsequent to the operation; iii) the sale, rent, transfer or other analogous operation by which UBI Banca transfers all or a substantial part of its business to another legal entity), Prudential USA has the right to make a communication to UBI Banca which allows the latter to exercise a call option on the entire investment held by Prudential USA in the SGR. If that option is not exercised, Prudential USA has, as an alternative, the right i) to purchase the entire interest held in the SGR by the UBI Banca Group, or an interest which allows it to hold 65% of the share capital of the SGR; ii) to give a mandate to an investment bank to sell the entire share capital of the SGR to a third party. ********* The report on operations in the 2008 Annual Report may be consulted for information on agreements between the Bank and members of the Management Board which involve the payment of an indemnity if they should resign.

Proxies may not be granted to members of governing or controlling bodies or to employees of the Bank, to companies controlled by it or to members of governing or controlling bodies or to employees of the latter. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, of Art. 2372 of the Italian Civil Code, proxy authorisations can be issued for individual shareholders’ meetings only, with effect also for subsequent sessions, and may not be issued with the name of the representative left blank. No registered shareholder may act as proxy for more than 3 other registered shareholders. Voting by post is not permitted. Members of the Management Board and similarly members of the Supervisory Board may not vote on matters concerning their areas of responsibility. The right to vote in the case of a pledge or usufruct on shares lies with the registered shareholder only. As concerns quorums for voting, resolutions are passed in ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings by an absolute majority of the votes, except for the approval of resolutions to change the company objects, eliminate or close down operational headquarters in Brescia and Bergamo, wind-up the Bank in advance as determined by events provided for by law, with the exception of the circumstance pursuant to point 6 of article 2484 of the Italian Civil Code, repeal or amend Articles 23 and 36 of the corporate by-laws and/or introduce any other provision that is incompatible with those articles, as well as to approve amendments to or the elimination of the quorums for passing resolutions contained in article 28, paragraph 3, for which the vote in favour of at least one twentieth of all the registered shareholders entitled to vote is required, even in second call (article 28 of the corporate bylaws). Furthermore, the vote in favour of at least one twentieth of all shareholders entitled to vote, who in turn represent at least 20% of the subscribed and paid-up share capital as at the ninetieth day prior to the date set for a shareholders’ meeting is required, even in second call, for the approval of resolutions concerning the repeal or amendment of article 45, paragraph 6, article 48, paragraph 6 and article 49, paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 and the approval of amendments to or elimination of the quorum for passing resolutions contained in article 28, paragraph 4, (Article 28 of the corporate by-laws). Finally, for resolutions to be passed at the request of the Banking Supervisory Authority or in relation to changes to regulations or legislation, both ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meetings pass resolutions by an absolute majority vote. In these cases, where the Supervisory Board is empowered to approve them, they are passed by an absolute majority of the members present (Article 28 of the corporate by-laws). As concerns proceedings in shareholders' meetings, the Bank has adopted regulations for shareholders' meetings based on standard regulations recommended by the Italian Banking Assocation and Assomine (association of joint stock companies) designed to govern the ordered 763 Report on Corporate governance and efficient functioning of meetings and to ensure that each registered shareholder has the right to speak on the items on the agenda. These regulations have also been published on the Bank's website in the corporate governance section and in the shareholders’ section. Supervisory Board APPOINTMENT AND COMPOSITION The Supervisory Board is composed of 23 members appointed by a shareholders' meeting chosen from among those registered shareholders possessing the necessary qualities, namely integrity, professionalism and independence as required by the legislation in force. At least 15 of the members of the Supervisory Board must be in possession of the requirements of professionalism required by the legislation currently in force for persons who perform functions as directors of banks. In particular, at least 3 members of the Supervisory Board must be chosen from among persons enrolled in the Registro dei Revisori Contabili (register of auditors) who have practised as legal certifiers of accounts for a period of not less than three years. While mandatory provisions of the law, of the Supervisory authority or regulations must be complied with, persons already holding offices of full statutory auditor or members of other controlling bodies in more than five listed companies and/or their parent companies or subsidiaries cannot hold office as a member of the Supervisory Board. If the cause of incompatibility just mentioned is not eliminated within 60 days of election or of communication of the fact to the person concerned, if it occurs subsequently, the member of the board is automatically removed from the position. Members of the Supervisory Board are elected by a shareholders' meeting on the basis of lists in accordance with the terms and procedures contained in article 45 of the corporate by-laws. In accordance with the transition regulation V contained in the corporate by-laws, a meeting of the shareholders of BPU Banca held on 3rd March 2007 appointed the first Supervisory Board of UBI Banca for the years 2007/2008/2009. It appointed Gino Trombi as Chairman and Giuseppe Calvi as Senior Deputy Chairman. These appointments became effective on 1st April 2007, the date on which the merger of Banca Lombarda into BPU Banca became legally effective. Following the resignations of two members of the Supervisory Board, Franco Polotti and Pierfrancesco Rampinelli, on 5th May 2007 a shareholders’ meeting of UBI Banca replaced them by appointing Alberto Folonari and Giovanni Bazoli to the board. In compliance with the provisions of Article 44 of the corporate by-laws, the Supervisory Board appointed 2 Deputy Chairmen - Alberto Folonari and Mario Mazzoleni - and it also appointed Federico Manzoni as secretary of the board. Following the resignations of the Chairman Gino Trombi and of the board member Romain Zaleski, a meeting of the shareholders held on 10th May 2008 appointed Corrado Faissola as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Battista Albertani as a member of that board. The Supervisory Board is therefore currently composed as follows: Faissola Corrado Calvi Giuseppe Folonari Alberto Mazzoleni Mario Albertani Battista Bazoli Giovanni Bellini Luigi Cattaneo Mario Ferro Luzzi Paolo Fidanza Virginio Fontana Enio Garavaglia Carlo Gussalli Beretta Pietro Lucchini Giuseppe Lucchini Italo Chairman Senior Deputy Chairman Deputy Chairman Deputy Chairman member member member member member member member member member member member 764 Report on Corporate governance Manzoni Federico Moltrasio Andrea Musumeci Toti S. Orlandi Sergio Pedersoli Alessandro Perolari Giorgio Pivato Sergio Sestini Roberto member member member member member member member member It has been verified in this respect that the members of the Supervisory Board are in possession of the legal requirements to hold their positions. The curricula vitae of the Chairman and of the Senior Deputy Chairman are available on the website of UBI Banca, while attachment A) lists the offices held by all board members in companies listed on regulated markets, including foreign regulated markets, and in finance, banking, insurance or large companies. REMUNERATION In addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in performing their duties in office, members of the Supervisory Board also receive remuneration determined for the entire period of office by a shareholders’ meeting at the time of their appointment. They are also assigned tokens for attendance at meetings of the Supervisory Board and also at meetings of commissions and committees formed by the Supervisory Board itself in the amount established by a shareholders’ meeting. Furthermore, in compliance with the corporate by-laws, after first consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board sets the remuneration for the Chairman, the Senior Deputy Chairman, the Deputy Chairmen and the members of the Supervisory Board who have been assigned special duties, powers or functions. The relative amounts are reported in detail in the table prepared in accordance with Art. 78 of Consob Resolution No. 11797/1999 and also in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2008 which may be consulted. In this respect, in March 2009 the Supervisory Board decided, with the agreement of all its members, to reduce its total fixed remuneration by 20% for its last year of office in order to demonstrate its awareness of the economic and financial crisis that had hit the country and to signal its concern to those who had been hit either directly or indirectly by that crisis. INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS The Supervisory Board has verified that all the members of the Supervisory Board in office are in possession of the requirements of independence in compliance with current law and the corporate governance code for listed companies.

The following rules apply: (i) at least one of the members of the Management Board must hold the requirements of independence pursuant to Art. 148, paragraph three of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24th February 1998; (ii) at least the majority of the members must have at least three years experience in management and/or professional activities in financial and/or banking and/or insurance companies in Italy or abroad. Following the resignation of the Deputy Chairman and member of the Management Board, avv. Corrado Faissola, in a meeting of 10th May 2008 the Supervisory Board appointed Franco Polotti as a member of the Management Board and Flavio Pizzini as Deputy Chairman of the Management Board. On 27th November 2008 the Chief Executive Officer, dott. Giampiero Auletta Armenise, resigned with effect from 1st December 2008 from his executive position, with the consequent powers that had been conferred on him by the Management Board. Following his resignation as CEO, the Supervisory Board decided to increase the number of members of the Management Board to 11 and unanimously appointed dott. Victor Massiah, the General Manager of UBI Banca, to that board. 770 Report on Corporate governance The Management Board – again with effect from 1st December 2008 – appointed Victor Massiah to the position of Chief Executive Officer, while he resigned from his position as General Manager at the same time. The Management Board is currently composed of the following members: Zanetti Emilio Chairman Pizzini Flavio Deputy Chairman Massiah Victor Chief Executive Officer Auletta Armenise Giampiero member Bertolotto Piero member Boselli Mario member Camadini Giuseppe member Cera Mario member Frigeri Giorgio member Gusmini Alfredo member Polotti Franco member The curricula vitae of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are available on the website of UBI Banca, while attachment B) lists the positions held by all the board members in companies listed in regulated markets, including foreign markets, and in financial, banking, insurance or large companies. The Management Board is appointed for three financial years, expiring on the date of the Supervisory Board meeting convened to approve the financial statements for 2009. It has been verified in this respect that the members of the Management Board are in possession of the legal requirements to hold their positions. As a general rule and with the exception of resolutions that must be passed by a qualified majority, the attendance of more than half the members in office is required for meetings of the Management Board to be valid. REMUNERATION In compliance with the corporate by-laws, after first consulting with the Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board sets the remuneration of the Management Board and of its members to whom special offices, duties or powers have been assigned. The relative amounts are reported in detail in the table prepared in accordance with Art. 78 of Consob Resolution No. 11797/1999 and also in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2008 which may be consulted. The remuneration of the members of the Management Board is not linked to the operating results achieved by the Bank. As concerns the current Chief Executive Officer, as the highest ranking executive officer of the Bank a part of his remuneration is variable, determined on the basis of criteria set for all senior executives. No-one is the beneficiary of share-based incentive plans. In March 2009 the Management Board decided to reduce their fixed remuneration by 20% from 1st January 2009, on similar grounds to those which motivated the members of the Supervisory Board. Furthermore, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board in particular decided to reduce their remuneration for their positions by 50%. EXECUTIVE AND NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS In compliance with instructions issued by the Bank of Italy on the organisation and corporate governance of banks the Management Board consists mainly of executive members, consistent with the function of strategic supervision assigned to the Supervisory Board (see the details provided in summary table No. 2). The members of the Management Board are in fact actively involved in the management of the Bank in compliance with policies approved by the Supervisory Board and submitted to it by the Management Board itself, which as specifically required by the corporate by-laws performs its main activities exclusively on a collegial basis with no powers to delegate authority. In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the corporate by-laws (article 39) also assign powers and functions to the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman which underline their involvement in the management of the Bank. 771 Report on Corporate governance The management commitments and responsibilities of the executive board members apply not only to the sphere of the Management Board, but also at Group level by appointments to positions in the governing bodies of the main subsidiaries of UBI Banca. This actively helps to ensure that the various member companies of the Group comply with instructions issued by the Parent Bank in the exercise of its activities of management and co-ordination. INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS Verification of the requirements of independence pursuant to Article 147 quater of the Consolidated Finance Act has been performed. In accordance with the corporate by-laws, Alfredo Gusmini qualifies as independent on the Management Board, pursuant to the legislation just mentioned. FUNCTIONS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD The functions of the Management Board are set out in article 37 of the corporate by-laws, according to which the Management Board is responsible for managing the Bank in compliance with the general guidelines and strategic policies approved by the Supervisory Board and submitted to it by the Management Board itself. To achieve this, it performs all the operations necessary, useful or in any case advisable to implement the company objects, whether of an ordinary or extraordinary operating nature. In addition to those powers which by law may not be delegated, decisions concerning the following are the exclusive responsibility of the Management Board: a) setting the general programmes and strategic policies of the Bank and the Group, on the basis of proposals from the Chief Executive Officer, to be submitted to Supervisory Board for approval; b) granting and revoking the powers of the Chief Executive Officer. The selection of the member of the Management Board to whom powers are granted must be performed on the basis of a proposal from the Supervisory Board, decided in turn, subject to prior designation by the Appointments Committee. If this designation has not been made by the Appointments Committee with the quorum required by the relative regulations, the proposal submitted by the Supervisory Board to the Management Board shall be decided with the vote in favour of at least 17 members of the Supervisory Board. Revocation of the powers is decided by the Management Board with the vote in favour of at least 8 members of the Management Board (or of all the members minus one, if the Management Board consists of 7 or 8 members), after consultation with the Supervisory Board; c) the formulation, on the basis of proposals from the Chief Executive Officer, of the business and/or financial plans and the budgets of the Bank and the Group to be submitted to the Supervisory Board for approval pursuant to Art. 2409-terdecies of the Italian Civil Code; d) the risk management and internal control policies; e) conferring, modifying or revoking authorisations and powers and assigning specific functions or authorisations to one or more board members; f) appointing and removing the General Manager, the Joint General Manager and the members of general management, defining their functions and responsibilities and also appointing the senior management of the Group; g) designating members of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the companies belonging to the Group, without prejudice to the provisions of article 36, paragraph 2, letter e) of the corporate by-laws; h) acquiring and selling equity interests; i) opening and closing down branches and representative offices; l) determining the organisational, administrative and accounting structure of the Bank and, without prejudice to the exclusive powers of the Supervisory Board pursuant to article 49 of the corporate by-laws, setting up committees or commissions with advisory, investigative, control or co-ordinating functions; m) determining the criteria for the co-ordination and management of Group member companies and also the criteria for implementing instructions issued by the Bank of Italy; n) subject to the mandatory opinion of the Supervisory Board, appointing and removing the financial reporting officer, pursuant to article 154-bis of legislative Decree No. 58 of 24th February 1998, and determining the relative remuneration. In addition to the requirements of integrity prescribed by the current regulations in force for persons performing administrative and management functions, the financial reporting officer must also 772 Report on Corporate governance possess requirements of professionalism with specific administrative and accounting expertise in the banking, finance, property or insurance fields. This expertise, to be verified by the Management Board, must have been acquired through experience in positions of appropriate levels of responsibility for a reasonable period of time and in comparable companies. o) appointing or removing the internal control officer and those officers whose appointment is the sole responsibility by law and regulations in force of the Management Board; p) preparing separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements for approval; q) exercising powers to increase the share capital granted pursuant to Art. 2443 of the Italian Civil Code and also to issue convertible bonds pursuant to Art. 2420-ter of the Italian Civil Code, subject to authorisation by the Supervisory Board; r) obligations of the Management Board pursuant to articles 2446 and 2447 of the Italian Civil Code; s) formulation of merger or demerger plans; t) proposing transactions of significant strategic, economic, financial and capital importance to the Supervisory Board for authorisation; u) definition of criteria to identify related party transactions for which responsibility will lie with the board itself. Pursuant to Article 38 of the corporate by-laws, the Management Board reports to the Supervisory Board on operations in general and on the most important transactions in terms of size and nature performed by the Bank and its subsidiaries and it reports in any event on transactions in which the members of the Management Board have a personal or third party interest. The reporting is performed at meetings of the Supervisory Board and in any case, at least quarterly; it may also be performed in writing. CHAIRMAN The duties of the Chairman of the Management Board are listed in article 39 of the corporate by-laws. More specifically the Chairman of the Management Board, who acts as the Bank's legally authorised representative and authorised signatory, performs the tasks that are typically carried out by the Chairman of a company’s management body, which he performs by liaising with the other by-law regulated bodies where appropriate. MANAGEMENT OR SUPERVISORY POSITIONS HELD BY MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD Summary table No. 2 attached to this report lists the number of other management and supervisory positions held by members of the Management Board in other companies listed on regulated markets (including foreign markets) and in financial, banking, insurance or large companies, while attachment B provides details of those positions. Article 30 of the corporate by-laws states that the members of the Management Board may be directors or general managers of rival companies; the authorisation of the Supervisory Board is however required when the company concerned is outside the Group or is not partly owned by the Bank. MEETINGS The Management Board meets at least once a month and also at any time the Chairman considers it appropriate or when a request is made by five members. Meetings take place alternating between the city of Bergamo and the city of Brescia and once a year in the city of Milan. The Management Board met 31 times in 2008 and the average length of meetings was 5,30 hours. In order to facilitate attendance at board meetings, article 34 of the corporate bylaws allows remote attendance through the use of appropriate audio/videoconference and/or teleconference connections. Resolutions of the Management Board are passed by open vote, with the vote in favour of the majority of the members present. In compliance with Borsa Italiana regulations, in January UBI Banca announced its calendar of corporate events for 2008 to the market (and published it on its website), with the dates of board meetings for the approval of operating and financial results. Twenty five meetings have been scheduled for 2009, seven of which have already been held. 773 Report on Corporate governance Chief Executive Officer Article 43 of the corporate by-laws states that, in compliance with the law and the corporate by-laws, the Management Board delegates those powers for which it does not hold exclusive responsibility to a Chief Executive Officer. The selection of the executive board member on whom powers are to be granted must be performed on the basis of a proposal from the Supervisory Board, decided in turn, subject to prior designation by the Appointments Committee. In a meeting held on 27th November 2008, the Management Board, in compliance with the corporate by-laws, conferred the following powers on the Chief Executive Officer: - to supervise the management of the Bank and of the Group; - to supervise the strategic co-ordination and the operational control of the Bank and the Group; - to supervise the implementation of the organisational and business structure decided by the Management Board and approved by the Supervisory Board; - to determine working directives for the General Management; - to oversee the integration of the new Group, consulting and involving the Deputy Chairman and the Management Board; - to submit management policies, the business and strategic plan and the budget to the Management Board and to supervise their implementation through the General Management; - to propose budgetary policy and policies on the optimisation of the use and enhancement of human resources and to submit financial statements and periodic financial reports to the Management Board for approval; - to propose appointments to the senior operational and executive management of the Group to the Management Board, in agreement with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and after consultation with the General Manager; - to promote integrated risk management. The Chief Executive Officer reports quarterly to the Management Board and to the Supervisory Board on operating performance and foreseeable developments and on the most important transactions performed by the company and its subsidiaries. He also reports monthly to the Management Board and at least every 60 days to the Supervisory Board on the main accounting results of the Bank, its main subsidiaries and the Group. Board Member Appointed to Supervise the System of Internal Control On 15th June 2007 the Management Board appointed Alfredo Gusmini as the Internal Control Officer responsible for supervising the functions of the internal control system, conferring powers on him and assigning functions to him in compliance with article 43-bis of the corporate by-laws. Board of Arbitrators The Board of Arbitrators consists of a Chairman, two full members and two alternate members, elected by a shareholders' meeting from amongst the registered shareholders of the Bank or others. The Board of Arbitrators is composed as follows: Donati Giampiero Chairman Caffi Mario Full member Lega Giovanni Full member Rota Attilio Alternate member Usuelli Emilio Alternate member The arbitrators remain in office for three years and may be re-elected. The current board of arbitrators will conclude its mandate on the date of the shareholders' meeting called to approve the financial statements for 2008. Arbitrators provide their services free of charge, except for the reimbursement of expenses. 774 Report on Corporate governance If a full arbitrator vacates his position during his three year period of office he is replaced by the most senior alternate member by age. If the chairman of the arbitrators vacates his position, the chairmanship is taken by the most senior full arbitrator by age for the remainder of the three year period. Appeal may be made to the Board of Arbitrators to settle any disputes that may arise between the Bank and/or registered shareholders over the interpretation or application of the corporate by-laws and over any other resolutions or decision taken by the governing bodies of the Bank concerning its business. It decides as a friendly arbiter by absolute majority vote. Without prejudice to the legislation and regulations currently in force, application to the Board of Arbitrators is not compulsory. Its decisions are not binding on the parties and do not constitute a hindrance to taking disputes before the courts or any other any authority with jurisdiction for settlement. The Board of Arbitrators regulates its own proceedings as it deems appropriate without being bound by procedural formalities. The Management Board and the General Manager or an employee designated by him are required to provide the arbitrators with all the information that they may request concerning dispute to be settled. General Management According to the by-laws, the Management Board appoints a General Manager and a Joint General Manager and it may also appoint one or more Deputy General Managers, on the basis of the organisation chart drawn up by the Management Board itself, which determines their powers and functions. In a meeting held on 27th November 2008, after dr. Victor Massiah took up his position as Chief Executive Officer and consequently resigned from his position as General Manager, in compliance with the corporate by-laws, the Management Board appointed rag. Riccardo Sora as General Manager with effect from 1st December 2008, conferring the following powers and responsibilities on him: chief operating officer; chief of personnel; he generally (unless otherwise indicated by the management bodies responsible) supervises the implementation of decisions taken by the Management Board and the Chief Executive Officer; he manages everyday business in compliance with the policies set by the governing bodies; he attends Management Board meetings with a consultative vote; he co-ordinates the operations of the bank and the Group. Rag. Sora was also appointed interim chief of the Administration and Depository banking Macro Area. The Management Board appointed Graziano Caldiani, who is also the Chief of the Human Resources and Organisation Macro Area, as Joint General Manager and appointed a further six Deputy General Managers on whom the following responsibilities within the Bank have been conferred: Iorio Francesco Chief of the Commercial Macro Area Leidi Rossella Chief of the Strategy and Control Macro Area Medda Ettore Chief of the Legal and Corporate Affairs Macro Area and the Finance and International Macro Area Rigamonti Pierangelo Operational Chairman of UBI Sistemi e Servizi Sonnino Elvio Managing Director of UBI Sistemi e Servizi Manager charged with preparing financial reports (Financial Reporting Officer) In a meeting held on 17th April 2007, the Management Board appointed, with the favourable opinion of the Supervisory Board, dr.ssa Elisabetta Stegher – the current Chief of the Bank's 775 Report on Corporate governance Administration and Tax Area – as the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act. The following responsibilities have been conferred on that senior manager: - to certify that market disclosures together with the related financial reports, including interim reports, are reliably based on the records contained in corporate documents and accounting records; - to put adequate administrative and accounting procedures in place for the preparation of financial reports and other financial disclosures; - to certify – jointly with the Chief Executive Officer, by means of a specific report, attached to the separate financial statements, to the consolidated financial statements and to halfyear reports – the appropriateness and effective application in the relative period of the procedures just mentioned and that the disclosures correspond to the records contained in the corporate accounting documents and records and provide a true and fair view of the capital, operating and financial position of the Bank and the Group. The system of internal control The system of internal control is a set of rules, procedures and organisational units designed to enable the business of the Bank to be performed in a healthy and proper manner consistent with its objectives by means of an appropriate process of identifying, measuring, managing and monitoring the principal risks. As such it constitutes an essential part of the corporate governance system of UBI Banca and the companies of the Group. UBI Banca has adopted an internal control system which, in compliance with the principles of the corporate governance code, with instructions issued by the Bank of Italy and with the bylaws of the Bank, assigns functions and responsibilities to the various officers who, in constant consultation with each other and supported also by regular information flows, contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system of control itself. The process of assessing the internal control system and verifying its adequacy and effective functioning form part of the responsibilities of the corporate bodies which fulfil strategic supervision management and control functions. In order to accomplish this, the Supervisory Board makes use of the Internal Control Committee which it forms directly itself (the composition, powers and functioning of the Internal Control Committee have already been examined in this report in the section specifically on that committee). The Management Board has appointed an executive member from amongst its members with responsibility for supervising the functioning of the internal control system. The senior management have approved a document containing the "Principles for the organisation of the internal control system of the UBI Group", designed to favour the most appropriate organisation of the internal control system of the Bank and the Group. These principles are designed for application on a permanent basis to all Group member companies and constitute a point of reference for the definition and implementation of all the components of the system of internal control. The main contents of the principles can be summarised as follows: - a systemic vision of governance and control designed to achieve high levels of effectiveness and efficiency avoiding overlap and/or gaps in control mechanisms and risk management; - consistency in the organisation processes of the Bank and the Group which, based on the Group’s mission, identifies values, defines objectives and pinpoints risks which hinder their achievement and implements appropriate responses; - compliance with legislation and regulations, even before they become compulsory, as a distinguishing feature and key factor of success for enhancing customer relations and, lastly, creating value for all stakeholders. The senior management of the Bank has also formulated specific risk management policies that apply to the Group operations. The responsibilities for internal controls of various roles in the Bank are identified within the context of those policies, as follows: 776 Report on Corporate governance • line controls (first level), the responsibility of the managers of organisational or process units; • controls on risks (second level), the responsibility of specialist functions (Risk Management, Risk Capital & Policies, Compliance, Operational Control and CFO), whose objectives are to assist in the definition of risk measurement methods, to verify compliance with limits assigned to different operating functions and to verify that the operations of single production areas are consistent with the risk-yield objectives set for them; • internal audit (third level), performed by the Parent bank and Group Audit Area. The first two types of control (first and second level), not only satisfy the requirements for reporting to supervisory body, but are also closely related on a practical level to the daily exercise of their responsibilities in relation to internal controls by the management body and the general management. More specifically, those responsible for second level controls are required to continuously identify, prevent and measure risk situations by adopting appropriate valuation models and to assist in the formulation of risk assumption and management policies with regard, amongst other things, to the maximum limits on exposure to them. Adequate reporting is made to the Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the General Management on current and future exposure to risk which also includes a special tableau de bord useful, amongst other things, for monitoring and assessing the system of internal controls. With regard to compliance controls, UBI Banca created a special function named “Compliance Staff”, which is on the staff of the General Manager and reports directly to him, in order to implement supervisory instructions issued by Bank of Italy in July 2007, which implemented standards set by the Basel Committee on this matter. In implementation of directives proposed by the Management Board and issued by the Supervisory Board by means of a special “compliance policy", the compliance staff diffuses these and supervises implementation of them. The regulatory functions of the Compliance Staff also include management of the risk of non compliance with regulations, whether these are of a generic external nature (laws, supervisory regulations – the Bank of Italy, Consob – Italian securities market authority – etc.) or a self regulatory nature (codes of conduct, internal regulations, etc.). The objectives are as follows: • to guarantee compliance with regulations by corporate processes and therefore appropriate conduct by all staff; • to guarantee that customers and investors interests are safeguarded; • to co-operate in the policy to establish relations of trust with all stakeholders; • to manage compliance processes across the Bank and the Group on a centralised basis, by introducing functional reporting to benefit from the co-operation of specialist functions (legal, organisational, risk management, IT, human resources, etc.) available at the Parent Bank and in different Group member companies and also from the cooperation of local liaison and compliance officers where present in the network banks and other Group member companies. In compliance with joint Bank of Italy - Consob Regulations issued on 29th October 2007, this function is also responsible for compliance controls with regard to the adequacy and effectiveness of the procedures adopted for providing investment services. The purpose of the internal audit function (third level) is to make an independent assessment of the organisation and functioning of the system of internal control or parts of it in support of senior management in its responsibilities. The mission of the Parent bank and Group Audit Area, to which the Internal Audit Area belongs, can be summarised very briefly as to systematically monitor the adequacy of risk controls at group level, to assess the functioning of the Group internal control system and to help to improve it (in terms of effectiveness and efficiency). The internal audit function reports to the Supervisory Board through the Internal Control Committee. The head of the internal audit function also fulfils the role of internal control officer, responsible for verifying that the internal control system is adequate, fully operative and functioning at all times. He also reports on his work to the Supervisory Board through the Internal Control Committee and to the Management Board through the executive member responsible for supervising the functioning of the internal control system. More specifically, he reports on the procedures by which risk management is performed and on compliance with 777 Report on Corporate governance plans formulated to limit risk and expresses an opinion on the appropriateness of the internal control system to ensure compliance with risk policies set by senior management. In relation to the internal control system of the Bank and the Group, a general description of which has just been given, to the reports of the units of the Bank responsible for risk controls and to the independent opinion expressed by the internal audit function on the internal control system and with account taken of the intense activity in progress to complete the process of Group integration and of the recent changes in the regulatory context, an opinion of substantial adequacy is expressed on the organisation and the functioning of the internal control system. Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 and the relative Supervisory Body UBI Banca has put in place its own organisational, management and control model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, with a resolution of the Management Board passed on 6th November 2007 and of the Supervisory Board on 19th December 2007. UBI Banca's “231” Model is set out in the "Document describing the organisational, management and control model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01" and is composed of: • a general part outlining the legislative framework, the components of the Bank's governance model and the organisational structure, the composition and characteristics of the Supervisory Body, the disciplinary system, the training and communication plan and the criteria for updating and modifying the model; • a special part, which associates each type of offence (relating to the administrative liability of entities) with one or more "sensitive activities" that may be present in corporate operations and prescribes specific "control standards/protocols" which must be observed in the management of those operations. In that same meeting of 6th November 2007, the Management Board of UBI Banca also decided to implement initiatives required to ensure standard compliance with Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 at Group level. Consequently, a specific Group project was commenced in 2008 consisting of two modules. The first module of the project is designed to update and add to the “document describing the model” of the Parent Bank and its subsidiaries, in relation to: • changes to regulations that have occurred since the date of the adoption of the previous version of the “model”; • corporate and internal organisational changes as a result of the merger between the two former Groups, BPU and BL. Completion of this module is scheduled for before the end to the first quarter of 2009. The second module of the project, which will commence on completion of the update of the models, involves action designed to implement “control standards” in the organisational, regulatory and operational systems of each individual company. In this respect some preparatory work for the second module has already been commenced as part of the “processes programme”, such as for example on the governance framework for corporate processes and controls, the development of standard documentation for a “pilot process” and modification to the target instrument for mapping processes. Furthermore, study commenced within the Group during the current year on decisions made concerning the Supervisory Body pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, dictated by a series of factors including the continuous increase in the number of types of “presumed offence” with liability of the entities; the dictates of sector guidelines; the considerable organisational complexity and size of the UBI Group; the debate on the role of the compliance function and its level within the internal control system of the UBI Group. 778 Report on Corporate governance These reflections led the Management Board and the Supervisory Board to take decisions on the improved organisation of the 231 Supervisory Body of the Parent Bank and its subsidiaries. More specifically, on 25th November 2008 the Management Board implemented recommendations of the Supervisory Board, by passing resolutions to: • appoint a new Supervisory Body for UBI Banca pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 composed, as from 1st January 2009, of two members of the Management Board, the acting chief of the Legal Affairs Area, the acting chief of the Compliance Function and an external professional and the dissolution on the same date of the Supervisory Body existing until 31st December 2008 (appointed by resolutions of the Management Board of 13th July 2007 and 31st July 2007); • make recommendations to subsidiaries concerning the composition of their supervisory bodies as follows: o network banks and “major” companies: collegial body with three members, consisting of a member of the board of directors, a professional expert in the field and the compliance officer/contact; o Group member companies with less organisational complexity: a single member body, leaving individual companies free to appoint a member of the board of directors or a compliance officer/contact, where one exists. Finally, in compliance with the requirements under UBI Banca’s 231 model concerning relations with corporate bodies whereby the Supervisory Body is required to report on an equal basis to the Supervisory Board and to the Management Board, the Supervisory Body made reports to the corporate bodies on its activities with particular reference to its duties regarding the implementation of the model. Related party transactions The Bank pays particular attention when performing transactions with related parties to ensure they are carried out properly both in form and substance. More specifically, the Management Board is obliged to specifically approve those transactions with related parties that are atypical, unusual or capable of having a significant effect on the assets of the Bank. The Bank has put special procedures in place for monitoring, reporting and taking decisions on related party transactions. In addition to transactions already reserved by law or by the corporate by-laws exclusively to the authority of the Management Board, transactions to be performed with “related parties” must also be subject to prior authorisation by the board itself, including intragroup transactions, of significant operating, capital and financial importance, such as for example: • • • • • • the purchase and sale of properties; the purchase and sale of equity investments (even if they do not give rise to changes in the banking Group), companies or lines of business; partnerships or joint venture agreements; transactions of a financial or commercial nature, with an economic value of greater than 10 million euro, provided that they are not normal transactions, i.e. part of the normal business of the Bank concluded under normal market terms and contractual conditions practised with customers; multi-year general agreements for the provision of intragroup services; the grant to Companies in the banking Group of: (i) credit lines that are not destined to support the subsidiary’s normal business; subordinated loans and other subordinated assets, that are eligible for inclusion in the subsidiary’s supervisory capital, if the amount exceeds 25% of the tier 1 capital of each company; (ii) loans and guarantees, directly or indirectly connected with acquisitions of control in other companies or interventions on share capital (payments for future increases in 779 Report on Corporate governance share capital, replenishment of losses, etc.), unless the credit granted is instrumental to transactions already authorised by the competent bodies of UBI Banca; • the grant to related parties that are not members of the banking Group of credit lines for an amount exceeding 2,5% of the supervisory capital; • transactions with related parties that are classified as "impaired”, "non-performing", "being restructured" or "restructured". Transactions with "related parties" other than those just mentioned performed by authorised bodies or organisational units and not forming part of normal business performed under standard conditions, must be subject to periodic reports to the Management Board, when they involve a significant amount. At the same time, transactions with representatives of the bank, with representatives of Group member companies and with companies controlled by them – all of whom may qualify as related parties – are conducted under normal market conditions and the provisions of Article 136 of Legislative Decree 385/1993 (Consolidated Banking Act) are carefully complied with. Treatment of confidential information The Management Board has approved the guidelines for procedures for managing privileged information to be disclosed to the public and for managing the register of persons with access to privileged information. A procedure has been developed for that purpose, to draw up security measures to be adopted designed to guarantee maximum confidentiality of information and to define the procedures for handling and disclosing privileged information. More specifically, these procedures govern how privileged information that relates directly to the Bank or its subsidiaries is disclosed to the public and at the same time it issues instructions to subsidiaries for them to promptly provide the Bank with the information required to fulfil disclosure obligations required by law. In compliance with article 115-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, the Bank has set up a register of persons who, on a permanent or occasional basis, have access to privileged information directly concerning the issuer. This register is managed in the name of and on behalf of the Group member companies that have delegated the responsibility for keeping and maintaining their register to the Parent Bank. Internal Dealing In implementation of laws in force, UBI Banca has drawn up specific Internal Dealing Regulations designed to modify internal regulations and procedures to comply with legislation and regulations governing disclosure obligations concerning transactions involving financial instruments issued by the issuer or other related financial instruments performed by significant persons and/or by persons closely connected with the latter, in order to ensure the necessary transparency and uniformity with regard to the market. These regulations not only identify "significant persons", establishing their obligations in terms of conduct and reporting, and the "officer responsible" for receiving, managing and disclosing information, but they also forbid the performance of the transactions mentioned in the 20 days prior to meetings of the Management Board convened to approve financial statements, half year reports and the quarterly reports. In accordance with the regulations adopted by UBI Banca, the following are significant persons: 1) members of the Supervisory Board of Unione di Banche Italiane; 2) members of the Management Board of Unione di Banche Italiane; 3) persons who perform management functions and senior managers who have regular access to privileged information and hold the power to make operational decisions that may affect 780 Report on Corporate governance performance and future prospects: the General Manager, the Joint General Manager, the Deputy General Managers and the Senior Manager responsible for the preparation of the financial reports of Unione di Banche Italiane. These regulations have been published on the Bank's website in the corporate governance section; furthermore, in compliance with specific Consob recommendations, a special section has been created, in which all reports of transactions notified by significant persons are published, after they have been disclosed to markets and to the Consob through the Borsa Italiana network information service. Relations with Shareholders, Institutional Investors and the Financial Community UBI Banca plays particular attention to the continuous management of relations with shareholders, institutional investors and members of the national and international financial community and it guarantees systematic disclosure of reliable, exhaustive and timely information on the Group's activities, results and strategies. A Registered Shareholders Service and an investor relations staff have been established for this purpose. The registered shareholders’ service is responsible for all relations with the Bank’s registered shareholders and it processes applications for admission as registered shareholders, maintains the shareholders’ register up-to-date and proposes and co-ordinates the various initiatives offered for them. The Bank has created the Value Project for registered shareholders, a set of banking concessions and free of charge insurance policies. The banking concessions are reserved to those registered shareholders who hold a current account and have shares in the Bank deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance policies are for registered shareholders in general. The Investor Relations Staff is responsible for relations with the financial community (institutional investors and financial analysts), which may also require bringing specific functions in the Bank and the Group into play, in accordance with policies set by the senior management of the Bank. The investor relations officer guarantees clear, prompt and full reporting, using methods which include press releases and the use of the Bank’s internet portal. A total of 64 price sensitive press releases were published in 2008 in accordance with current regulations and legislation. Auditing of accounts As a listed company, by law the auditing of the accounts of UBI Banca must be performed exclusively by independent auditors responsible for verifying during the financial year that the accounts have been properly kept and that operating events have been correctly recorded in the accounting records. They are also responsible for ascertaining that the separate financial statements and the consolidated financial statements are reliably based on the accounting records as results from inspections performed and that those accounting records comply with the regulations governing them. The independent auditors publish a special report in which they give their opinion on the separate financial statements, on the consolidated financial statements and on the half year report The independent auditors currently appointed by UBI Banca are KPMG Spa, whose assignment will expire on the date of the shareholders' meeting to approve the financial statements for the year 2011. The auditors are appointed by a shareholders' meeting on the basis of a detailed proposal submitted to it by the Supervisory Board. 781 Report on Corporate governance ATTACHMENT A Positions held by the members of the Supervisory Board of UBI Banca in companies listed in regulated markets including foreign markets (*), in financial, banking, insurance or large companies.

UBI Banca has adopted a two tier system of management and control, which is considered better suited to the governance requirements of the Parent Bank, UBI Banca, and at the same time as providing stronger protection for registered and unregistered shareholders, especially through the activity of the Supervisory Board, a body appointed directly by the registered shareholders and representing them. The distinguishing features of the two tier system lie in the distinction between strategic supervision and control functions, which are assigned to the Supervisory Board, which holds some of the powers typical of a shareholders' meeting in a traditional system (approval of financial statements, appointment of the members of the management body and determination of the relative remuneration) and also of a board of statutory auditors. It also fulfils some "senior management" functions, insofar as it is called upon to approve general guidelines and strategic policies for the Bank and the Group, submitted to it by the Management Board; the corporate management functions, assigned to the Management Board, which has exclusive authority to perform all ordinary and extraordinary operations necessary to the pursuit of the company objects, in compliance with the general guidelines and strategic policies approved by the Supervisory Board. This division of functions identifies distinct aspects of the operational life of the Bank and assigns them to the corporate bodies just mentioned which, with their respective roles and responsibilities, determine a corporate governance model that is more consistent with the structure of the Bank and the Group in the context of a single business plan, characterised by ongoing dialogue and inter-functional co-operation. The annual report on corporate governance – attached to the 2008 Annual Report – provides more detailed information on the two tier system of corporate governance adopted. *** The Supervisory Board has authorised the Management Board to submit proposals for amendments to the corporate by-laws which are on the agenda of the shareholders’ meeting. Those amendments to the corporate by-laws are attributable mainly to the need for the corporate by-laws to comply with the rules introduced by the “Supervisory provisions on the organisation and corporate governance of Banks” of 4th March 2008. In this context the amendments mainly concern the following matters: i) procedures for the appointment, removal and substitution of members of the Supervisory Board, with provisions for greater representation of candidates from minority lists; ii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to determine the total remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board, including therefore those with particular appointments, powers or functions; iii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to approve remuneration policies for members of the Management Board and remuneration and/or incentive schemes based on financial instruments; iv) the criteria for distributing remuneration among the members of the Supervisory Board; v) more precise identification and distinction of the duties and responsibilities of the Management Board and of the Supervisory Board, regarding in particular: - powers conferred on the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board; powers attributable to bodies delegated by the Management Board; 793 Report of the Supervisory Board - strategic operations reserved to the Supervisory Board; vi) participation in Management Board meetings by members of the internal control committee; vii) the elimination of transition regulations, because they are now obsolete. Finally amendments of a formal nature are proposed or in any case designed to introduce a more precise definition to the by-laws. *** As concerns the strategic supervisory function assigned to the Supervisory Board, the first full year of operations of the UBI Banca Group took place in a particularly complex operating context, both because of the integration process in progress and because of the deterioration of the macroeconomic background. This was initially limited to financial markets, the instruments traded on them and operators in the sector, but then extended to affect the real economy and domestic and international production. The Group reacted to the difficulties triggered by the macroeconomic scenario by putting forward the completion of the main integration processes defined in the Integration Business Plan approved by this board in June 2007. In consideration of the continued climate of uncertainty, which makes it difficult to identify a scenario that is sufficiently stable and clear to serve as the basis for the construction of a multi-year plan, the update of the Business Plan will not be completed before the second half of the year. As concerns the control function and issues concerning risk policies and the related organisational aspects in particular, the Supervisory Board verified that the Group possessed advanced and fully effective systems for the management of risk. The Supervisory Board approved a proposal submitted by the Management Board to adopt internal risk measurement systems for determining capital requirements with particular reference to the approval of the choice of system considered appropriate and of the relative project for the formulation and implementation of that system, including the relative implementation time schedules and planned investments. With regard to Basel 2 and in compliance with the “new prudential supervisory provisions for banks” (Bank of Italy Circular No. 263/2006), the UBI Group has put a process in place to calculate its total capital adequacy requirement – for the present and the future – to meet all significant risks to which the Group is or might be exposed on the basis of its operations ( the ICAAP process). In consideration of its mission and the operations of the UBI Group and also the market context in which it operates, the risks to be subjected to measurement in the ICAAP assessment process were identified and divided into first pillar and second pillar risks as required by the relative regulations. More specifically, with regard to the second pillar, in October 2008 the Supervisory Board approved a simplified ICAAP report submitted to it by the Management Board in compliance with prudential supervisory regulations. The UBI Group then filed its first ICAAP report with the Bank of Italy for the situation as at 30th June 2008. The report was prepared in simplified form in accordance with regulations, with an assessment of internal capital for first pillar risks and of interest rate and concentration risks for second pillar risks. A full ICAAP report is to be filed with the supervisory authority in April 2009, which will include first pillar risks, second pillar risks specified by regulations and risks identified independently by the Group. The Group plans to gradually evolve towards a technically more complex class 1 ICAAP process, which will come into operation in the first half of 2010, once authorisations have been obtained for the use of internal models. The objective of submitting an application to the Bank of Italy before the end of 2009 for authorisation to use those internal models to estimate the capital requirement needed to cover the Bank’s risks has in fact been confirmed. 794 Report of the Supervisory Board Finally, with regard to the third pillar, the relative process for producing reports for public disclosures has been defined. The new regulations introduce obligations to publish information on capital adequacy, exposure to risks and the general characteristics of the systems designed to identify, measure and manage them. In 2008 the Internal Control Committee concentrated mainly on the following activities: the most important issues concerning the Bank's internal control system and the legislative framework, as follows: - corporate governance mechanisms with regard, amongst other things, to the provisions contained in the corporate governance code for listed companies, in the supervisory instructions issued by the Bank of Italy and in Legislative Decree No. 231/2001; - relations with the boards of statutory auditors and with the supervisory bodies pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 of subsidiaries and the respective areas of intervention; - the policy-setting and co-ordination activities of the Parent Bank; - risk management and capital requirement calculation processes pursuant to Basel 2; - the configuration and co-ordination of second level (risk management and compliance) and third level (internal audit) control activities; - the structure, staff and operational tools of the Group internal auditing function and its interaction with other business units; - modifications of corporate procedures to comply with the MiFID legislation and new antimoney laundering developments; periodic and specific reporting on the outcomes of analyses performed by the internal auditing function; relations with the Supervisory Authorities, with specific regard to requests for self-analysis concerning specific transactions and inspections carried out at subsidiary companies. In 2008 the Accounts Committee concentrated its activities mainly on examinations of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Parent Bank, the half year financial report and the quarterly reports to the end of March and September. In this context it conducted detailed study on accounting matters connected with the unification, already completed, of the accounting IT systems used by the banks in the Group With regard to the Basel 2 project, the accounts committee supported the Supervisory Board in the various implementation stages mainly on technical aspects affecting accounting, administrative and financial reporting matters connected mainly, but not exclusively, with quantification issues related to the three pillars. Information on the activities performed by the Appointments Committee and the Remuneration Committee is contained in the report on corporate governance which may be consulted. *** As concerns the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board, in March 2009 the board itself decided, with the agreement of all its members, to reduce its total fixed remuneration by 20% for its last year of office in order to demonstrate its awareness of the economic and financial crisis that had hit the country and to signal its concern to those who had been hit either directly or indirectly by that crisis. *** In compliance with Consob Communication No. 1025564 of 6th April 2001 and subsequent amendments to it, specific information is given below on the supervisory activities performed by the Supervisory Board in 2008 in the order of presentation recommended in that Consob communication. 795 Report of the Supervisory Board 1. The board has attended all the meetings of the Management Board. In this respect the Chairman and the Senior Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board decided to separately authorise every member of the Internal Control Committee to attend meetings of the Management Board, in order to comply immediately with the Bank of Italy instructions concerning the organisation and governance of banks, even before the related amendments to corporate by-laws are made. The Supervisory Board supervised compliance with the law, the corporate by-laws and proper management practices and acquired information on the activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries and also on major capital, financial and operating transactions. Transactions of major economic, financial and capital importance carried out by the Bank during the year were performed in compliance with the law and the corporate by-laws in full compliance with the interests of the Bank. Furthermore on the basis of the information obtained from the Management Board in accordance with Art. 150 of the Consolidated Finance Act, those transactions were not manifestly imprudent, risky, in-conflict-of-interest, or in contrast with resolutions passed by shareholders’ meetings or in any case such as to compromise the assets of the Bank. In implementation of the 2007-2010 Integration Business Plan approved in June 2007 by the Supervisory Board and as expressly authorised by the corporate by-laws, further changes to the organisational and corporate structure of the Group were completed in 2008. The most significant of these performed during the year were as follows: - completion of the IT migrations onto the Group target system; - full introduction of the target organisational model, which is standard throughout the Group, by decentralising some Parent Bank operations, transferred to network banks, and centralising other network bank operations, transferred to the Parent Bank. - completion of the process of integrating and streamlining the product companies which involved companies operating in consumer finance, wealth management, financial advisory services, leasing, insurance and trust management. merger of UBI Sim into UBI Banca Private Investment; a partial spin-off to B@nca 24-7 Spa of the typical “product company” operations of SILF, which now operates as a distribution network only for B@nca 24-7 products; contribution to UBI Pramerica SGR of the asset management operations of Capitalgest SGR and of the interest held by the Parent Bank in Capitalgest Alternative Investments SGR and the sale to Prudential of approximately 12% of UBI Pramerica to restore the composition of the shareholdings to 35% held by Prudential and 65% by UBI Banca; the merger of funds to streamline the product range of funds; the merger of BPU Esaleasing into SBS Leasing and the change of the name of the latter to UBI Leasing; activities for the management of corporate and retail derivatives business for the whole Group centralised in Centrobanca and a market making desk set up for internal management of financial risk; the merger of Plurifid Spa into Solofid Società Lombarda Fiduciaria Spa, which led to the creation of UBI Fiduciaria Spa; enhancement and streamlining of the Group’s presence in the insurance sector by the sale of 50%+1 share of UBI Assicurazioni Vita to the Aviva Group and the consequent entrance of the British Group into the management of the company, renamed Aviva Assicurazioni Vita Spa on 1st January 2009; the merger of UBI Partecipazioni Assicurative into UBI Assicurazioni; the purchase by UBI Banca of the interest held in UBI Assicurazioni Vita by UBI Assicurazioni and the sale to Tua Assicurazioni in the Cattolica Assicurazioni Group of operations consisting of approximately 50 multi-company agents; - the streamlining of service activities performed on 1st July 2008 with the transformation of UBI Sistemi e Servizi into a consortium company, following the 796 Report of the Supervisory Board acquisition of stakes in the share capital by the principal service users (network banks and other Group member companies). On 13th June 2008, Bank of Italy inspections of the UBI Group, performed pursuant to articles 54 and 68 of Legislative Decree No. 385/1993 and notified on 15th February 2008, were concluded. On 29th August 2008, the supervisory authority delivered a communication to the Supervisory Board and to the Management Board containing the findings. The outcome of the inspections was generally positive and attention was placed in a letter of reply sent to the Bank of Italy on the careful examination conducted by company bodies on the points outlined in the inspection report, giving details of the lines of action already undertaken. On 13th March 2008 the Consob (Italian securities market authority) commenced an inspection of IW Bank pursuant to Art. 10, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998, to ascertain compliance with regulations concerning interconnection systems, the detection of suspect transactions with regard to market abuse and the provision of loan accessory services to customers. At the date of this report the outcome of the inspection concluded on 3rd December is not yet known. In July UBI Assicurazioni sent a reply to ISVAP (the insurance authority) in relation to the inspection performed into the company in the second half of 2007, illustrating the specific and dedicated programme to improve the management of damages claims which was commenced at the beginning of 2008. With regard to important events occurring after the end of the financial year 2008, the most significant transactions performed were as follows: - the UBI Banca Group accepted, with the shares it held (1,89% UBI Banca and 0,59% Banca Popolare di Ancona), the voluntary public tender offer to purchase the total of the ordinary shares of Meliorbanca S.p.A. made by Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna Soc. Coop. at a price of 3,20 euro each; - on 4th March 2009, as part of an agreement signed by UBI Banca, Centrobanca and Medinvest International, UBI Banca purchased a further 32,4% stake in the share capital of IW Bank held by the current management of that bank. The agreement also involved the purchase by Medinvest International of a stake in the share capital of IW Bank, which will in turn acquire a majority interest that may rise to 100% in the share capital of Twice SIM (a company which specialises in brokerage services and activities in capital markets and corporate finance for small to medium size enterprises), 59,3% controlled by Medinvest International. On 20th March 2009, the latter purchased an initial tranche from Centrobanca of 4,75% of the share capital of IW Bank, agreeing to purchase a second tranche of up to 5,70% of the share capital of IW Bank subject to the actual purchase by IW Bank of an interest in Twice SIM of more than 50,1% of the share capital after the possible exercise of outstanding warrants. If the operation is fully implemented, the investment held by the UBI Group in IW Bank will be 74,7%; - on 16th March 2009 the acquisition of operations belonging to Intesa Sanpaolo was concluded consisting of 13 branches in the province of La Spezia, with Banco di San Giorgio designated as the acquirer of the branches. On 27th January 2009, the Bank of Italy commenced ordinary inspections, pursuant to Art. 10 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998, into the asset management company UBI Pramerica. On the following 20th February 2009, in accordance with the laws in force, that same supervisory body ordered inspections into UBI Banca as the depository bank for the funds of UBI Pramerica SGR. 2./3. No atypical and/or unusual transactions occurred during the year including intragroup transactions and those with related parties, (where related parties are defined by the standard IAS 24 “Related party disclosures” to which reference is also made by Art. 2 of the Issuers Regulations issued by the Consob with Resolution No. 11971/1999 and subsequent amendments and additions). As concerns intragroup and related party transactions of an ordinary nature, these have been accurately reported in the information provided by the Management Board in Part H of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. All the transactions in question were 797 Report of the Supervisory Board performed as part of the bank’s institutional activities, in observance of correct principles both in substance and form under conditions analogous to those applied for transactions with independent parties and in accordance with the organisational structure adopted with strategic and management activities centralised at BPU Banca Scpa and technical and operational activities centralised at UBI Sistemi e Servizi Scpa. Again with regard to transactions of an ordinary nature with related parties the Supervisory Board declares that these transactions were always conducted under market conditions or, in the absence of suitable reference parameters, on the basis of the costs incurred and in any case always compliant with and in the interests of the Bank. The report on corporate governance also illustrates the main contents of the monitoring, reporting and decision-making regulations adopted by the Bank for the performance of related party transactions by the Bank. Furthermore, transactions with representatives of the Bank, with representatives of Group member companies and with companies controlled by them, who all qualify as related parties, are all conducted under market conditions and the provisions of article 136 of the Consolidated Banking Act are closely complied with. The Supervisory Board has also monitored the adequacy of the system for ensuring compliance with Art.136 of the Consolidated Banking Act. 4. As concerns relations with the firm of independent auditors, on 5th May 2007 a shareholders’ meeting of UBI Banca Scpa approved the extension until the end of the financial year ending 31st December 2011 of the expiry of the auditing appointment granted in accordance with articles 155 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 (Consolidated Finance Act) to the auditors KPMG Spa by a shareholders meeting of BPU Banca Scpa on 10th May 2003 for the financial years 2003-2005, already extended by a shareholders’ meeting of 22nd April 2006 for the financial years 20062008. The independent firm of auditors KPMG Spa, with whom the Supervisory Board has had constant meetings, including those through committees of the board, issued its reports on 26th March 2009 from which no critical observations or remarks emerged. 5./6. The Supervisory Board received no notifications from registered shareholders pursuant to article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code during 2008. 7./8. In addition to the fee for its appointment to perform the audit of the accounts for work performed during the year amounting to 1.279 thousand euro, the Parent Bank, in compliance with the law and Art. 160 of the Consolidated Finance Act paid further fees relating to 2008 (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, supervisory contributions and VAT) to the independent auditors KPMG Spa and to companies belonging to its network as follows: - Certification services 1.250 thousand euro; - Tax consultancy services 34 thousand euro; - MiFID project 1.378 thousand euro; - Basel 2 project: support for office project activities and gap analysis 1.361 thousand euro; - Support for compliance with Law No. 262/2005 435 thousand euro; - Assistance with the development of a portfolio model for credit risk 375 thousand euro; - Online customer procurement and E-finance 9 thousand euro. In addition to the fees listed above, the company KPMG Spa and companies belonging to its network were also assigned the following appointments with regard to appointments made by other companies in the UBI Group (again exclusive of out-ofpocket expenses, supervisory contributions and VAT): - Auditing of accounts 2.759 thousand euro; - Certification services 380 thousand euro; - Tax consultancy services 16 thousand euro; - Assistance with supervisory reporting and Basel 2 290 thousand euro; 798 Report of the Supervisory Board - Mifid project: support for office project activities Support with financial analysis of bonds and structured derivatives Anti-money laundering consulting services Support with compliance activities Other services 228 thousand euro; 95 51 35 36 thousand thousand thousand thousand euro; euro; euro; euro. Details of these fees are also given in an attachment to the financial reports as required by Art. 149-duodecies of the Issuers’ Regulations. Furthermore, subsequent to the approval of the provisional separate company and consolidated financial statements by the Management Board, the independent auditors made additions to the times and fees for auditing activity as a consequence of new legislation and also of the greater time needed to audit the accounts for 2008, totalling 180 thousand euro in relation to the Parent Bank and 285 thousand euro for the other Group member companies. 9. With regard to the existence of opinions given in accordance with the law during the year and in compliance with the Consolidated Banking Act, the Supervisory Board issued the required favourable opinion when decisions were taken by the Management Board pursuant to Art.136 paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Banking Act. Following the resignations of Gino Trombi as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and ing. Romain Zaleski as a member of the Supervisory Board, a shareholders’ meeting of 10th May 2008 appointed avv. Corrado Faissola as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Battista Albertani as a member of the Supervisory Board. As a consequence of his candidature to the position just mentioned, avv. Corrado Faissola resigned as a member and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and from other positions held within the Group and it was therefore necessary to fill the vacant position on the Management Board and appoint a new Deputy Chairman. On the basis of a proposal from the Appointments Committee, the Supervisory Board therefore appointed Franco Polotti as a member of the Management Board and Flavio Pizzini as Deputy Chairman of the Management Board to replace avv. Faissola. Following the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer, dott. Giampiero Auletta Armenise from his position and the relative executive powers assigned to him by the Management Board for personal and family reasons,in November the Supervisory Board decided to increase the number of members of the Management Board to 11 and appointed dott. Victor Massiah to that board as proposed by the Appointments Committee. The Supervisory Board then proposed dott. Massiah for the position of Chief Executive Officer of UBI Banca, again on the basis of a recommendation made by the Appointments Committee. Finally the Supervisory Board made a proposal for the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and of the General Manager of UBI Banca on the basis of indications made by the Remuneration Committee. Dott. Auletta Armenise maintains his position as a member of the Management Board of the Parent Bank along with the other positions he holds in Group member companies. 10. The Supervisory Board met 18 times in 2008. While observing the principle of collegial responsibility in performance of its duties, the Supervisory Board - in relation to its responsibilities, its composition and the characteristics of its members - decided to establish, in compliance, amongst other things with the recommendations contained in the corporate governance code, specific internal committees with the functions of submitting proposals and advice and performing controls: an appointments committee, a remuneration committee, a committee for internal control and an accounts committee. These committees have been established to allow the Supervisory Board to make its decisions on a more informed basis and they are composed - as recommended by the corporate governance code - of more than three members. In 2008 the Appointments Committee met five times, the Remuneration Committee met five times, the Committee for Internal Control met 24 times and the Accounts Committee met 18 times. The Supervisory Board has been constantly informed of the 799 Report of the Supervisory Board activities of those committees. In order to provide constant information on the main business operations, one or more members of the Internal Control Committee attends the meetings of the Management Board on a rotating basis and reports back to the other members of the committee in its next meeting. The Management Board met 31 times in 2008. 11./12. The Supervisory Board acquired information on and, to the extent of its responsibilities, supervised the adequacy of the organisational structure of the Bank and compliance with the law and proper principles of management. This was performed by making direct observations, by acquiring information from the Financial Reporting Officer and by holding meetings with the those functions in the Bank involved in the system of internal controls and with the independent auditors, during the course of regular exchanges of information. As concerns the MiFID (Market in Financial Instruments Directive) directive on transparency in financial markets, the objective of the first phase of the compliance process was to achieve compliance before the date on which the regulations came into force (1st November 2007), focusing on areas with an impact on customers to whom the regulations were made available. The compliance process continued in 2008 with the following objectives: - the definition of rules, processes and instruments in respect of matters not related to customer management, together with compliance with regulations which came into force in 2008; - the development of business by extending the provision of investment advisory services to customers; - managing developments in Consob guidelines (termed third level measures published during the year) and relations with the Consob; - increased staff training by preparing and implementing a specific plan. Project activities are also currently in progress aimed on the one hand at putting an evolved advisory service in place, which offers investment proposals based on a “portfolio model” designed to fit customer risk profiles and the holding periods they require and on the other hand at creating a specific “product catalogue” on which customer investment proposals can be focused. Finally, again with regard to the MiFID directive and more specifically to the joint Bank of Italy - Consob Regulations, this board has periodically verified the adequacy of processes relating to the provision of investment services and of the relative organisational structure and the assignment of duties and responsibilities. 13./14. The Supervisory Board assessed and supervised the adequacy of the system of internal control and the administration and accounting system also ensuring that the latter was reliable in recording operating events faithfully. This was performed by holding specific meetings with the functions in the Bank involved in the internal control system and with the independent auditors, by acquiring adequate reports from other corporate bodies of the bank and from the heads of the respective functions, by examining corporate documents and by analysing the results of the work performed by those persons. The system of internal controls and the organisational structure of the Bank were found to be basically appropriate to the scale and nature of its business. The dynamics of these were developed constantly in order to continuously refine them and also to comply with changes in the legislation. The Parent Bank has equipped itself with an Organisational, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01. The corporate governance report contains further information on this. We report that the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Officer have issued a declaration pursuant to Art.154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act concerning the information contained in the separate and consolidated financial statements for 2008. 800 Report of the Supervisory Board 15. The Supervisory Board supervised, both directly and through the corporate functions involved in the system of internal controls and the independent auditors, to ensure that the conduct of subsidiaries was consistent with the objectives set by the Parent Bank. No matters were considered worthy of mention concerning the adequacy of instructions given by the Parent Bank to its subsidiaries pursuant to Art. 114, paragraph 2 of the Consolidated Finance Act nor on the timely reporting performed by subsidiaries to the Parent Bank in order to comply with disclosure obligations required by law. 16. No significant issues emerged from the periodical exchanges of information that occurred through the accounts committee and internal control committee with the independent auditors KPMG Spa, pursuant to article 150 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998. 17. UBI Banca Scpa complies with the corporate governance code for listed companies of Borsa Italiana of March 2006 and it has therefore prepared a Report on the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure of UBI Banca Scpa which is attached to the Annual Report. The corporate governance report furnishes shareholders and the market with an analysis of the system of corporate governance adopted by UBI Banca Scpa. It gives details of the procedures by which the code itself has been complied with by the Bank and also provides an account of those principles with which the Bank has complied in full and those that it has chosen not to observe, even only partly, on the basis of the principle of either “comply or explain”. The corporate governance report has been prepared in particular to comply with Art. 89 bis of the Issuers Regulations. It also contains information on corporate governance and ownership structure required by Art. 123 bis of the Consolidated Finance Act. 18. No omissions, reprehensible actions or irregularities requiring mention to shareholders emerged from the supervisory activities performed by the Supervisory Board. 19. To conclude, the Supervisory Board expresses a unanimous opinion in favour of the proposal for the allocation and distribution of profit formulated by the Management Board. *** Dear shareholders, the criteria followed in the management of the Bank to achieve its mutual objects, as established by Art. 2545 of the Italian Civil Code, are clearly evident and observable in the activities of the Bank and of the Group as a whole. In accordance with its model as a ‘popular’ bank, UBI Banca not only orients its operating policies towards the production of value in general, but also towards achieving the mutual objects intrinsic in its institutional model, both through initiatives directed to grant concessions directly to its registered shareholders and through numerous actions to support the local economies of the areas in which the bank operates traditionally. The particular attention paid to registered shareholders as customers also takes the form of the provisions of services and special concessions, which include the “Value Project”: a set of banking and insurance concessions, free of charge, destined exclusively to the registered shareholders of the Bank. The banking concessions are reserved to those who hold a current account and have shares in the Bank deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance policies are for registered shareholders in general. The report on operations in the separate annual report provides further details of this project. 801 Report of the Supervisory Board Attention to local needs in a context of subsidiarity and mutuality is also borne out by the various initiatives to provide social, cultural, scientific, welfare and environmental support performed directly by the Group’s network banks, which are flanked by initiatives by the Parent Bank and by the Foundations created by the Group. All the initiatives undertaken in this respect by the Group are known to the entire Supervisory Board, which approves of them. *** Finally the Supervisory Board informs the shareholders’ meeting that it approved the separate and consolidated financial statements in a meeting held on 10th April 2009 and it also verified that they complied with the law. The separate and consolidated financial statements for 2008 prepared and submitted by the Management Board were unanimously approved after first having heard reports from the Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer and the declaration by the Financial Reporting Officer. During that same meeting the internal control committee reported on its activities performed during the year designed to assess the system of internal control and on the inspections it had performed to ensure that it was adequate. The Supervisory Board also received a report from the Accounts Committee on its activities during the year which involved the examination of the main accounting matters and an analysis of specific issues of an administrative and accounting nature brought to its attention from time to time. *** It should be mentioned that with a view to maintaining, strengthening and improving the capital of the Group through the implementation of careful, medium term, capital management initiatives, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of UBI Banca have decided to submit a proposal to a shareholders’ meeting of two initial measures (the issue of warrants free of charge to shareholders and the issue of convertible bonds). These are designed to increase the loyalty of the shareholder base and to guarantee the continued capital strength and liquidity of the Group which it currently enjoys and which are considered important if the Group is to continue to remain close to the local communities and economies it serves, especially in light of the need to support businesses in the current difficult market situation. *** To conclude the Supervisory Board expresses a unanimous opinion in favour of the proposal for the allocation and distribution of profit formulated by the Management Board, with the relative distribution of a cash dividend of 45 euro cents per share. Brescia, 10th April 2009 The Supervisory Board 802 Report of the Supervisory Board REPORTS ON THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA OF THE SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING 803 Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting Authorisation of the Management Board concerning own shares Dear Shareholders, In compliance with articles 2357 and 2357 bis of the Italian Civil Code, with Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24th February 1998 and Consob (Italian securities market authority) Resolution No. 11971 of 14th May 1999 and subsequent amendments and additions, the shareholders’ meeting held on 10th May 2008 authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and sell the Bank’s own shares, with a nominal value of 2,50 euro, within the limits of the existing reserve, amounting to 64.203.000 euro. In this respect we propose renewing that authorisation, under the same conditions already existing and therefore to purchase and sell the Bank’s own shares, with a nominal value of 2,50 euro, within the limits of the existing reserve, amounting to 64.203.000 euro. In relation to that amount in the reserves, it must be considered that on the basis of IAS 32 “Financial instruments: disclosure and presentation”, own shares that are repurchased must be deducted, in the accounts, from the share capital (in this respect Bank of Italy circular No. 262/2005 transfers the own shares held in portfolio to asset item 190 in the balance sheet as a reduction in shareholders’ equity). Sales of own shares are performed at a price not less than the official price quoted, which is to say the closing price of the market session prior to each individual sales transaction with the understanding that the amount from the sale of the shares held returns, up to the carrying amount, to the funds held in the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”. The amount corresponding to the difference between the carrying amount and that following the sale of the shares is recognised directly in shareholders’ equity within item 170 "Share premiums". Article 144 bis of the issuers regulations introduced by the Consob Resolution No. 15232/2005, and issued to implement the first paragraph of Art. 132 of the Consolidated Finance Act as amended by Law No. 62/2005 (the Market Abuse Directive) specifies four ways of purchasing own shares. Purchases of own shares may be performed by a public tender offer to purchase or swap, on the market according to the procedures established in stock exchange regulations, by the purchase and sale of derivative financial instruments or by granting an option to sell to registered shareholders in proportion to the shares they hold. In this respect the shareholders are asked to authorise the Management Board, and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, to purchase own shares according to the procedures specified in paragraph 1, letter b) of Art. 144 bis of the Issuers Regulations, and that is to purchase on regulated markets following operational procedures which guarantee equal treatment of shareholders and do not allow direct proposals to purchase to be linked to predetermined proposals to sell. The reasons for requesting this authorisation lie in the ability to act, in compliance with current rules and regulations in force, mainly for the purposes of stabilising trading in conditions of excess volatility or of scarce liquidity. These purchases may be effected within the limits of the existing reserve of 64.203.000 euro until the shareholders’ meeting convened to make decisions, in accordance with Art. 2364-bis, No. 4, of the Italian Civil Code on the use of profits for the year ended 31st December 2009 (after first approving the Annual Report for the year, in the sole hypothesis that the annual 804 Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting report has not already been approved by the Supervisory Board) at a price not higher than the official price or the closing price in the market session prior to each individual transaction and are charged to the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”, with the further limit that the shares held as a result of the trades made do no exceed a maximum number equal to 1% of the share capital. It is also proposed to authorise the Management Board, and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, in relation to the opportunities and the specific market conditions, to use its own shares that it holds in portfolio for the exercise of option rights, however they are denominated, again as long as the price of the option right is not lower than the carrying amount. All the above must comply with the rules and regulations issued by the Consob. Finally as at 31st December 2008, the Bank held none of its own shares. Dear Shareholders, in relation to the above, the Management Board therefore proposes that the ordinary shareholders’ meeting approves the following resolution: “The shareholders’ meeting of Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa, - having considered the proposal of the Board of Directors; - having taken account of the provisions of the law, of the corporate by-laws and of the regulations issued by the national commission for companies and the stock exchange (Consob – Italian securities market authority); RESOLVES a) to authorise the Management Board and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, to proceed with one or more transactions until the shareholders’ meeting convened to make decisions in accordance with Art. 2364-bis, No. 4, of the Italian Civil Code on the use of profits for the year ended 31st December 2009 (after first approving the Annual Report for the year, in the sole hypothesis that the annual report has not already been approved by the Supervisory Board) to purchase, by means of the procedures specified in paragraph 1, letter b), of Art. 144 bis of the Issuers Regulations, and that is to purchase on regulated markets following operational procedures which guarantee equal treatment of shareholders and do not allow direct proposals to purchase to be linked to predetermined proposals to sell, the Bank’s own shares with a nominal value of 2,50 euro at a price not higher than the official price quoted in the session prior to each transaction by drawing on the ‘reserve for the purchase of own shares’ amounting to 64.203.000,00 euro, with the further limit that the shares possessed must not exceed 1% of the outstanding share capital as a result of the trading performed; b) to also authorise the Management Board and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, to proceed with one or more transactions, according to the aforesaid procedures and within the aforesaid time limits, to the sale of all or part of the own shares that the Bank may hold at a price not less than the official price or the closing price in the session prior to each individual sales transaction, by means of normal stock market trading, with the understanding that the amount from the sale of the shares held returns, up until the carrying amount, to the funds held in the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”; c) to also authorise the Management Board to use the Bank’s own shares for the exercise of option rights, however they are denominated, as long as the price of the option right is not lower than the carrying amount; d) to grant the Management Board and on its behalf the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, all the necessary powers required to implement the resolution in compliance with the relative regulations of the authorities concerned.” 805 Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting Bergamo, 7th April 2009 The Management Board 806 Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting Appointment of the Board of Arbitration Dear Shareholders, The shareholders’ meeting is called upon to elect the members of the Board of Arbitrators for the three year period 2009-2011.

Technically debt securities are issued by a special purpose entity (SPE - cf. definition). The portfolio underlying the securitisation may consist of mortgage loans, other loans, bonds, commercial paper, loans resulting from credit cards or even other assets. Depending on the type of underlying asset, ABSs may be classified as follows: - credit loan obligation CLO (the portfolio consists of bank loans); - collateralised bond obligation, CBO (the portfolio consists of bonds); - collateralised debt obligation, CDO (the portfolio consists of bonds, debt instruments and securities in general); - residential mortgage backed security RMBS (the portfolio consists of mortgage loans on residential properties). - commercial mortgage backed security, CMBS (the portfolio consists of mortgage loans on commercial properties).

Basis point One hundredth of a percentage point (0,01%). Basis swap Contract which involves an exchange between two counterparties of payments linked to variable interest rates based on different indices. Basel 2 New international agreement on capital which identifies the guidelines for calculating the minimum capital requirements for banks1. 1 The first version of the agreement, known as Basel 1, dates back to 1988 and was signed in that Swiss city where the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has its headquarters, an organisation which has been promoting monetary and financial co-operation on a worldwide scale since 1930 (it is known in Italy as Banca per i regolamenti Internazionali - BRI). The Basel Committee operates within it, formed by the governors of the central banks of the ten most industrialised countries (G10) at the end of 1974, and it is this that has formulated the agreements or “accords”. The following are currently represented on it: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States. 809 Glossary The new prudential regulations are based on “three pillars”: first Pillar (Pillar 1): while it maintains the objective of a level of capitalisation equal to 8% of risk weighted exposures, a new system of rules has been defined for measuring risks typical of banking and financial activities (credit, counterparty, market and operational risks), which introduces alternative methods of calculation characterised by different levels of complexity, with the possibility of using internally developed rating systems, subject to prior authorisation from the Supervisory Authority. second pillar (Pillar 2): this requires banks to equip themselves with processes and instruments to calculate their total internal capital adequacy requirement (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process - ICAAP) to meet each type of risk, which may even be different from those covered by the total capital requirement (first pillar). The Supervisory Authority is responsible for reviewing the ICAAP process, for formulating an overall opinion and, where necessary, for activating appropriate corrective action; third pillar (Pillar 3): this introduces the obligation to publish information on capital adequacy, exposure to risks and the general characteristics of systems designed to identify, measure and manage these risks. Benchmark A standard for the measurement of financial investments: it may consist of well known market indices or of others that are more suited to the risk-yield profile. Best practice Conduct that is comparable with the most significant and/or best level achieved in a given field or profession. Business risk The risk of adverse and unexpected changes in profits and margins with respect to forecasts, connected with volatility in volumes of business due to competitive pressures and market conditions. CAGR – Compound Annual Growth Rate The annual growth rate applied to an investment or other assets for a period of several years. The formula for calculating CAGR is [(present value/base value)^(1/number of years)-1]. Capital allocation Process by which decisions are made on how to distribute investments among different types of financial asset (e.g. bonds, equities and liquidity). Capital allocation decisions are determined by the need to optimise the risk/return ratio in relation to the time horizon and the expectations of the investor. Capitalisation (insurance) certificates Capitalisation contracts fall within the field of application of the legislation on direct life insurance contained in Legislative Decree No. 174 of 17th March 1995. As defined in Art. 40 of that legislative decree, these are contracts with which insurance companies agree to pay capital equal to the premium paid, revalued periodically on the basis of the return on separate internal management of financial assets or, if higher, a minimum guaranteed return, as the consideration for the payment of single or periodical premiums. They cannot have a life of less than five years and the policyholder has the right to cash-in the policy from the beginning of the second year onwards. In accordance with Art. 31 of the cited Legislative Decree No. 174, financial assets used to hedge technical reserves are reserved exclusively to comply with obligations connected with capitalisation contracts (separate management). Consequently, if the insurance company is placed in liquidation (Art. 67), the beneficiaries of those policies have title as creditors with special privileges. Capitalisation policies See the item “Capitalisation (insurance) certificates”. Captive Term generally used to refer to distribution networks or companies that operate exclusively with customers belonging to the company or group in question. Commercial paper The Basel Committee has no supranational authority: the member countries may decide to comply with the accords but they are not bound to accept the decisions of the committee. The compulsory nature of Basel 2 for EU countries is in fact the result of a European Parliament directive which adopted it in September 2005. The first Basel accord, signed by the central authorities of more than 100 countries established the obligation for the banks participating in it to set aside a share of their capital amounting to 8% of the loans disbursed independently of an assessment of the reliability of the companies that had requested them, using rating procedures. 810 Glossary Short term securities issued to collect funds from third party purchasers as an alternative to other forms of debt. Conduit See the item SPE Consumer finance Loans granted to private individuals for the consumption of goods and services.

Corporate governance Corporate governance defines the assignment of rights and responsibilities to the participants in the life of a company in relation to the distribution of duties, responsibility and decision making powers by means of the composition and functioning of internal and external corporate bodies. One fundamental objective of corporate governance is to create maximum value for shareholders, which, in the medium to long term, is also advantageous for other stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, employees, creditors, consumers and the community. Cost income ratio A performance indicator defined as the ratio of operating costs to gross income. Covered bonds Special bank bonds which, in addition to the guarantee given by the issuing bank, also offer as security a portfolio of mortgage or other high credit quality loans transferred for that purpose to a “special purpose entity”2. Banks which intend to issue covered bonds must have assets of not less than 500 million euro and a total capital ratio at consolidated level of not less than 9%. The share of the assets potentially useable as security that are transferred may not exceed the following limits, calculated on the basis of the level of capitalisation: - 25% in cases of a capital ratio ≥ 9% and > 10% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 6%; - 60% in cases of a capital ratio ≥10% and > 11% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 6,5%; - no limit in cases of a capital ratio ≥11% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 7%. Credit crunch Significant fall (or sudden tightening of conditions) in the supply of credit to businesses at the end of a prolonged expansionary period, capable of worsening the successive recessionary period. Credit Default Swap Contract by which one party transfers, for a payment of a periodical premium to the other, a credit risk attached to a loan or a security when a determined event occurs linked to the deterioration in the solvency of the debtor. Credit risk The risk of incurring losses resulting from the default of a counterparty with whom a position of credit exposure exists. Concentration risk Risk resulting from exposures in the banking portfolio to counterparties, groups of counterparties in the same economic sector or counterparties which carry on the same business or belong to the same geographical area. Concentration risk can be divided into two types: - single name concentration risk; - sector concentration risk. Default A declared condition of being unable to honour debts and/or payment of the relative interest. Duration 2 Covered bonds issued by banks are regulated in Italy by Law No. 130 of 30th April 1999 (Art. 7-bis). The way in which they work is for a bank to transfer high quality credit assets (mortgage loans and loans to public administrations) to a special purpose entity and for a bank, even a different bank from the transferor, to issue bonds guaranteed by the special purpose entity with the collateral of the assets acquired which constitute separate capital. The details for the application of the regulations are contained in Ministerial Regulation No.310 of 14th December 2006 and in the supervisory instructions of the Bank of Italy of 15th May 2007. 811 Glossary When applied to a bond or bond portfolio, it is an indicator usually calculated as the average weighted maturities of the interest and capital payments associated with the instrument. EAD (Exposure At Default) Estimate of the future value of a position at the time of default (cf. definition) of the relative debtor. Equity risk The risk of losses incurred in the equity investments portfolio. This portfolio contains all the equity investments held by Group member companies in companies outside the Group, which is to say in companies that are not included in the consolidation where the percentage interest held in the share capital is less than an absolute majority of the capital. Euribor (Euro interbank offered rate) Interbank interest rate at which major banks exchange deposits in euro with varying maturities.

Factoring Contract for the sale, either without recourse (with the credit risk attaching to the purchaser) or with recourse (the credit risk remains with the seller), of trade accounts receivable to banks or specialist companies, for management and cash receipt purposes, to which a loan to the seller may be associated. Fair value The amount of consideration for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled under free market conditions, between knowledgeable and willing parties. This is often the same as the market price. On the basis of IAS (cf. definition) banks apply fair value, when measuring the value of financial instruments (assets and liabilities) held for trading, available for sale and derivatives and they may also use it to measure the value of equity investments and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (with different impacts on the income statement for the different assets considered). Floor Derivatives contract on interest rates, traded outside regulated markets, with which a lower limit is set on the reduction of the lending rate. FRA (Forward Rate Agreement) Contract whereby the parties agree to receive (pay) at the end of the contract, the difference between the amount calculated by applying a set interest rate and the amount obtained on the basis of the level of a reference rate chosen beforehand by the parties. Funding Acquisition in various forms of the funds required for the activities of a company or for particular financial operations. Future Standardised forward contracts with which the parties agree to exchange securities or goods at a set price on a future date. These contracts are usually traded on organised markets where the execution of the contract is guaranteed. As opposed to options (cf. definition), which grant the right but not the obligation to buy, futures contracts oblige the two parties to sell or buy. Geographical disaster recovery A set of technical and organisational procedures set in motion when a catastrophe occurs which causes the complete data processing platform to shut down. The objective is to reactivate EDP functions that are vital to the company at a secondary (recovery) site. A disaster recovery system is defined as “geographical” when it is located at least 50 km from the original system. The primary objective is to mitigate risk arising from disaster events with a potential impact on an entire metropolitan area (i.e. earthquakes, floods, military intervention, etc.) as prescribed by international safety standards. Goodwill This is the amount paid for the acquisition of an interest in a company which is the difference between the cost and the corresponding proportion of the shareholders’ equity, for that part that is not attributed to the assets of the company acquired.

IBAN (International Bank Account Number) International standard used to identify bank accounts. The use of the IBAN code – composed of 27 characters – has been compulsory since 1st July 2008, not just for foreign payments but also for those made in Italy.

This body has taken over from the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), formed in 1973 to promote the harmonisation of rules for preparing company accounts. When the IASC was transformed into the IASB, one decision taken was to term the new accounting standards “International Financial Reporting Standards” (IFRS). An effort is currently being made at international level to harmonise IAS/IFRS with US Gaap (cf. definition). Identity access management A technical and organisational method used to manage and monitor the entire life cycle of granting, managing and revoking access privileges to ICT resources and therefore to company information by each user. Impaired loans Loans at their face value to persons in situations of objective difficulty where, however, it is felt the difficulties can be overcome in an appropriate period of time. Impairment According to IAS (cf. definition), this is the loss of value in an asset in the accounts, recognised when the carrying value is greater than the recoverable value, which is to say the amount that could be obtained from selling it or using it in business. Impairment tests must be performed on all assets except for those recognised at fair value for which any losses (or gains) in value are implicit. Index linked A life policy, the performance of which is linked to that of a reference parameter which could be a share index, a basket of securities or another indicator.

Investor Entity, other than the originator (cf. definition) and sponsor (cf. definition), which holds a position in a securitisation (cf. definition). IRB (Internal Rating Based) An internal rating (cf. definition) approach under Basel 2 (cf. definition), divided into basic and advanced methods. The advanced approach may be used only by banks which meet the strictest minimum requirements and it allows all estimates of the inputs used for measuring credit risk (PD, LGD, EAD, Maturity – cf. definitions) to be performed internally. With the basic approach, on the other hand, only PD is estimated by banks. 813 Glossary Joint venture Agreement between two or more companies to perform a determined economic activity usually by forming a joint stock company. Junior In a securitisation (cf. definition), it is the most subordinated tranche of the securities issued, which is the first to meet the losses that may be incurred in the recovery of the underlying assets. Leasing Contract by which one party (lessor) grants the use of an asset to the other party (lessee) for a determined period of time. The asset is purchased by or constructed for the lessor on the instructions and as selected by the lessee, where the lessee has the right to purchase the ownership of the asset under preset conditions at the end of the leasing contract. LGD (Loss Given Default) Estimated rate of loss if a debtor defaults (cf. definition). Liquidity risk Risk of the failure to meet payment obligations which can be caused either by an inability to raise funds or by raising them at higher than market costs (funding liquidity risk), or the presence of restrictions on the ability to sell assets (market liquidity risk) with losses incurred on capital account Lower Tier 2 Subordinated liabilities which form part of the supplementary or tier 2 capital (cf definition) on condition that the contract governing their issue expressly stipulates that: a) in the case of liquidation of the issuer the debt will only be repaid after all the other higher ranking creditors have been satisfied; b) the duration of the contract is equal to or longer than 5 years and, if a maturity date is not set, advance notice of at least 5 years must be given prior to redemption; c) early repayment of the debt may only take place on the initiative of the issuer and must be authorised by the Bank of Italy. The amount of subordinated bonds admissible as supplementary capital is reduced by one fifth each year over the five years prior to the maturity date of each bond in the absence of an amortisation plan which has similar effects. Mark down Difference between the average borrowing rate for the direct forms of funding employed and the Euribor rate. Mark to market Valuation of a securities portfolio and of other financial instruments on the basis of market prices. Mark up Difference between the average lending rate for the forms of lending employed and the Euribor rate.

Technically it refers to a borrower who does not have a fully positive credit history, because characterised by negative lending events such as for example the presence of repayments on previous loans not made, of cheques without funds and/or protested and so on. These past events are symptomatic of a greater intrinsic riskiness of counterparties from whom a corresponding higher remuneration is requested by the lender who grants them a mortgage.

The following negative elements are deducted from those items: net losses on equity investments, negative supplementary capital prudential filters, other negative items. 3 Innovative capital instruments may be included in the tier 1 capital up to a limit equal to 20 percent of the tier 1 capital, inclusive of the instruments themselves. In respect of that limit, instruments which contain automatic revision of rates of remuneration (termed ‘step-up’ clauses) connected with redemption rights or other types of clause designed as an incentive for redemption by the issuer must remain with a limit equal to 15 percent of the tier 1 capital, inclusive of the instruments themselves. Any excess may be included in the supplementary capital on a par with hybrid capitalisation instruments. 818 Glossary Tier III (third level subordinated debt) Subordinated bonds that satisfy the following conditions: - they have been fully paid; - they do not form part of the supplementary capital (cf. definition); - they have an original life equal to or longer than two years; if the maturity is not set, the advance notice of the maturity must be at least two years; - they meet the conditions specified for similar liabilities included in the supplementary capital except of course those concerning the life of the debt; - they are subject to a “lock in” clause according to which the capital and the interest cannot be repaid if the repayment reduces the total amount of the bank’s capital to a level lower than 100% of the total capital requirements.

On the dates on which the coupons for the cash flows are paid (or at the end of the contract), the “total return payer” pays the “total return receiver” any increase there may be in the “reference obligation”; if, on the other hand the “reference obligation” has decreased then it is the “total return receiver” who pays the relative amount to the “total return payer”. A TROR is in actual fact a structured financial product consisting of a combination of a credit derivative and an interest rate swap (cf. definition). Unit-linked Life insurance policies with performance linked to the value of investment funds. Upper Tier II Hybrid capitalisation instruments which form part of the supplementary or tier 2 capital (cf. definition) when the contract specifies that: a) if there are losses in the accounts which cause a decrease in the capital paid in and in the reserves below the minimum level required for the authorisation to operate as a bank, the sums from those liabilities and the interest accruing on them can be used to replenish the losses, in order to allow the issuing entity to continue its business; b) if operating performance is negative, the right to remuneration can be suspended by that amount needed to prevent or limit the occurrence of losses as much as possible; c) in the case of liquidation of the issuer, the debt will only be repaid after all the other higher ranking creditors have been satisfied; Non irredeemable hybrid capitalisation instruments must have a life equal to or longer than ten years. There must be a specific clause in the contract stating that repayment is dependent on Bank of Italy authorisation.
