In case there are more intermediaries involved in the chain, the tax has to be paid by the one who has received the purchase order or derivative contract subscription request, including non-resident intermediaries. The non-resident intermediary holding a branch or permanent establishment in Italy is required to remit the tax and report through the branch or permanent established entity.

The tax is due by the buyer only 4
5 Cash Equities: Roles and Responsibilities The intermediary receiving (not necessarily executing) the purchase order form the investor, is responsible for calculating and remitting the tax to the Tax authority on behalf of the investor. For trades executed by intermediaries acting as riskless principal in a transaction for the benefit of its clients, the tax is due by the investor only, provided that both transactions have the same quantity, price and settlement date. For trades executed by intermediaries for their own benefit (property position), the tax is due by the intermediary that is also responsible for calculation, payment and reporting. In case the investor (liable party) holds different relationships with multiple intermediaries, the netting calculation will be possible across all positions provided that: The investor appoints one intermediary as netting, calculation, paying and reporting agent, AND All other intermediaries accept to provide the appointed agent with all necessary information; ALTERNATIVELY The investor appoints one intermediary paying and reporting agent, All intermediaries provide the Italian CSD with all necessary information to calculate the netting and the tax due, The CSD will provide the intermediary appointed as paying agent with the necessary information to remit the tax due and the reporting. The intermediary may refuse the appointment of netting, calculation, paying and reporting agent for multiple relationships. Intermediaries may appoint the Italian CSD for netting, tax calculation and payment. All responsibilities, including reporting, will remain with the intermediary. When the CSD acts as paying agent the tax is due on the 16 th day of the second following month. 5

7 Derivatives: The tax is due on derivatives contracts traded on regulated markets and MTF or OTC as from 1 July 2013 regardless of the place of booking and the residency of the counterparts to the contract. Booked is to be considered as the subscription, early cancellation (except when the original derivative is replaced by a new contract) or a modification of the contract. Modification is to be intended as a change in the notional value, the parties to the contract or the contract maturity. The tax is due by both parties in the contract. For derivatives involving the delivery of shares, this is subject to the tax on shares (if applicable) in addition to the tax on derivatives. The delivery of newly issued shares is a reason for exclusion. Derivatives are in scope when their main underlying assets is also represented by one or more instruments included in the Cash Equity tax definition. The portion of the equities of the underlying asset for the derivative to be in scope will be in excess of 50 per cent of the equity component only. Instruments giving the right to buy/sell shares as per the same definition (typically Rights Options) are equally in scope. The tax on derivatives is a flat amount which range from EUR0.025 to EUR200 depending on the relevant instruments and on its notional value. Derivatives contracts concluded in Regulated Market or Multi Trading Facilities may be subject to a reduced tax amount of 1/5 of the above. (detailed amount per derivative type in the following slide). Cases for Exemptions and Exclusions are provided. 7

This interval is calculated as the time between the placing of an order for purchase or sale and the subsequent modification or cancellation of the same order by the same algorithm. The tax rate is 0.02 percent on the countervalue of cancelled or amended orders exceeding the day trading threshold of 60 per cent of the transmitted orders The tax is due from: 1 March 2013 for HFT on taxable equities and on 1 July 2013 for HFT on taxable derivatives 9
