1 Management Report The Macroeconomic Context The beginning of 2014 was characterised by volatility in financial markets due to tensions on some emerging countries mainly due to the slowdown of the Chinese economy and to the reduction (started at the end of 2013) of the monetary stimulus by the Federal Reserve Usa (Fed), which led to capital outflows from emerging regions, generating some difficulties for countries with large current account deficits (mainly Argentina, South Africa, Turkey, Brazil, India and Indonesia) and concerns about possible future financing of these economic areas, all the more so in countries with a high percentage of public debt denominated in strong currency. These tensions were quickly replaced by a calmer climate, due to the awareness that the expansive approach of the central banks was still far from disappearing, because of evidence that economic growth was still fragile in much of the developed world and called for policies targeted to support the economy. With reference to the Eurozone, the climate with regard to the periphery is calmer, albeit the lack of widespread economic growth in almost all member countries has forced the European Central Bank (ECB) to intervene in June to introduce new expansionary monetary measures with the ultimate goal of ending the disinflating path (caused by weak domestic consumption and excessive strength of the euro) that characterised the first half of 2014. Specifically, the package of expansionary measures launched by the ECB included: a) cut in the reference rate by 10 basis points (down to 0.15% from the previous 0.25%) and at the same time cut in the rate on deposits of banks at the ECB, currently negative (-0.1%); b) targeted LTRO: financing plan for banks, at a rate of 0.25%, linked to an increase in loans to the private sector; c) extension of the maturity of full allotment operations (from July 2015 to 2016); d) interruption of the sterilisation of the SMP purchase plan, which corresponds to a quantitative easing of the monetary base, along the lines of the one launched by the Federal Reserve Usa as from 2009. Finally, ECB President Draghi stressed that, in the future, the preparatory work linked to purchases of banking Abs (Asset backed securities) by the ECB will be intensified. The beginning of the third quarter of 2014 was characterised by the deterioration of the degree of investor confidence towards the Eurozone because of lower than expected economic data in some areas, including Germany (with weak data on retail sales) and Italy, with inflation close to negative and a weak data on industrial production. The situation was worsened by the financial difficulties of the Portuguese financial group linked to the Espirito Santo family, with repercussions on the bank of the group and the deterioration of relations between Russia and the West with threats of mutual sanctions that resulted in the partial failure of one of the most important markets of European goods and services. The ECB, after announcing in June the introduction of new measures of liquidity to the banking system (subject to the actual disbursements of loans to companies), in the traditional meeting of August among the main central bankers at Jackson Hole, hinted at the imminent launch of further expansionary measures in support of the economy, paving the way for a new purchase programme of Covered Bonds and Abs (linked both to mortgages and loans to companies) announced in September and indicating the intention to bring the assets in its financial statements back to the levels of 2013 (equivalent to a quantity of asset purchases totalling a trillion). 2014 ended with strong expectations of a launch, by the ECB, of a large-scale programme of quantitative easing of the monetary base, along the lines of the one launched by the Fed, also considering that the spectre of deflation will appear more and more clearly in almost all major economies of the Eurozone. The economic growth forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (contained in the last World Economic Outlook), show downward revisions compared to the forecasts at the beginning of 2014, with a growth rate in 2014 at +3.3% globally compared to previous estimates expecting a more sustained increase (+3.7%).This revision concerns without distinction developed economies (+1.8% compared to +2.2% at the beginning of 2014) and emerging economies (+4.4% compared to the initial forecasts of +5.1%). In particular, the economic growth in the United States is equal to +2.4% (from the initial +2.8%), whereas the main downward revision concerns Japan, which ended the year with a growth close to zero (+0.1% vs +1.7% estimated initially). After two years of negative contribution to global economic growth, the Eurozone recorded a positive growth of +0.8% in 2014, mainly driven by Germany (+1.5%) and Spain (+1.4%); downward revision for the Italian and French growth rate this year, with a growth in 2014 now set at -0.4% and +0.4%, respectively: for Italy, this is the third consecutive year of recession. Within the developing world, the following countries recorded downward revisions of growth estimates in 2014 (compared to what was expected at the beginning of the year): Brazil (+0.1% vs +2.3% estimated initially), Russia (+0.6% vs +2%) and South Africa (+1.4% vs +2.8%); whereas the figures of China (+7.4% in 2014) and India (+5.8%) are still strong. 18

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 In terms of currency, a strong weakening of the Eurozone was recorded against major global currencies in 2014: the euro-dollar exchange rate ended the year at a value of 1.21 compared to the value of 1.38 at the end of 2013, which is equivalent to a depreciation by around 12%. The reason for this weakening of the Euro is due to the very expansive monetary policy strategy undertaken by the ECB. Long-term government bonds, both in the United States and in the Eurozone, followed a strongly bearish trend during the year, in accordance with economic figures that show, in the main global economies, bearish pressures on consumer price indexes, with a special reference to the Eurozone; the American ten-year rate closed 2014 at a value of 2.17%, compared to 3.03% at the end of 2013 (on expected delays in the process of normalisation of the monetary policy by the Fed); an even stronger change affected the German ten-year rate that closed 2014 at a value of 0.54% compared to 1.93% at the end of 2013. The strong return of the sovereign risk in the Eurozone involved, in 2014, a reduction trend of the rate spreads of the peripheral countries compared to the core countries. In particular, the Italy-Germany differential on the ten-year government segment went from about 212 basis points at the beginning of 2013 to about 132 basis points at the end of 2014. Waiting for the imminent end of the season of unconventional monetary policy by the Fed, in addition to specific social and political problems, led the developing world to record strong cash outflows. As evidence of the climate of risk aversion that characterised the developing world, during 2014, the EMBI Global Spread index (that measures the spread between the government bonds of developing countries against American government securities), increased from 330 basis points at the end of 2013 to 404 basis points at the end of the year. With reference to the stock markets, 2014 ended with a rise in local currency of the MSCI World share index in dollars of +2.10% according to the climate of optimism on the global economic scenario, albeit growth forecasts lowered during the year. Within the developed economic areas, the best performance was recorded by the United States stock exchange (+11.40% in the S&P500 index in dollars), followed by Japan (+7.12% in the performance of the Nikkey index in local currency) and Eurozone (+4.35% in the EuroStoxx600 index in Euro); the emerging equity markets were negative (-4.60% in the MSCI Emerging Markets index in dollars). Within the Eurozone, the performance gap among stock lists of the core countries (Germany +2.65%; France -0.71%) and peripheral countries (Italy +0.23%; Spain +3.81%) is decreasing: this trend was particularly pronounced during the 2010-2012 period. With regard to volatility in share indexes, the American VIX and the European V2X reported a trend stabilised at moderate levels during 2014: both were below the long-term historical averages until the last quarter, in which tensions increased, mainly due to the sharp drop in oil prices.

During 2014, according to the latest ABI available figures, deposits from customers (households and non-financial companies) 1, equal to 2,225bn at the end of December 2014, decreased by 5.4% compared to the values of December 2013 as a result of the decline of the bond component (-18.1%), whereas deposits increased (+2.1%) to 1,516bn. In the same period, the cost of deposits decreased by 39 basis points (from 1.88% to 1.49%), divided between bonds (from 3.44% to 3.16%) and deposits (from 0.97% to 0.71%). Overall, loans to households and non-financial companies recorded a slight decrease (0.8% compared to December 2013), which covers both short-term loans and medium and long-term loans. During 2014, the average rate to households for the purchase of homes 2 was down by 74 basis points (from 3.50% to 2.76%) as well as the overall average rate on loans to households and non-financial companies that decreased from 3.82% to 3.61%. The gap between average interest rates on loans to and deposits from households and nonfinancial companies reached 212 basis points at the end of 2014, up 18 basis points compared to the figure at the end of 2013. The deterioration in the quality of credit continued 3 : in December 2014, gross doubtful loans amounted to 183.7bn (+17.8% compared to the end of 2013), while net doubtful loans amounted to 84.5bn (+5.6% compared to the end of 2013), accounting for 4.64% of loans 4 (increasing compared to 4.31% in December 2013). 19

1 Management Report Your Bank 5 -Calculated as the sum of items 80.Net result from trading and 100.b profits (losses) on disposal or repurchase of available-forsale financial assets. Following the changes introduced by the Supervisory Regulations of the Bank of Italy, with a special note of 1 August 2014 the Supervisory Authority announced the change of the Register of Banking Groups through the cancellation of the Banking Group Unipol Banca SpA and the registration of the new Unipol Banking Group. Therefore, Unipol Banca is no longer the Parent Company of the previous Unipol Banca Banking Group and at the same time it is part of the Unipol Banking Group, with the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA. In June 2014, the 100.0m share capital increase against payment was completed, subject to its reduction to cover prior losses (of 339.5m), resolved by the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of 23 April 2014. In November 2014, the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA into Unipol Banca SpA (transaction authorised by the Bank of Italy on 25/9/2014 and whose tax and accounting effects will be effective as from 1/1/2014), with which, among other things, the Bank acquired control over the company Finitalia SpA operating in the sector of financing, of insurance premiums, in particular, was completed. As a result of these transactions, the share capital of Unipol Banca SpA amounted to 897,384,181. In November 2014, the equity investment in Unicard SpA was sold. In October 2014, a general inspection was started by the Bank of Italy, completed in January 2015 and whose results will be announced by the Supervisory Body in the coming months. In organisational terms, in 2014, the new commercial structure came into force with the creation of 9 areas (previously 6 with 3 sub areas) and the process of reduction of the hierarchical levels was completed, already started in 2013 as part of the General Management, also on the commercial network with the elimination of the post of retail market manager. At the same time, the post of sales manager was created with the function of coordinating the commercial activity with the insurance agencies, the sales units of LSRT (Large Retail Chains) - which offer to their members standardised banking products - and with the function of coordinating on their territory the newly formed group of developers. These are resources dedicated exclusively to the acquisition of new customers that operate mainly within insurance agencies with the aim of offering banking products to insurance customers. The activity of the Bank in 2014 mainly focused on retail customers (Private Customers and SMEs), and in particular on insurance customers of the Group and members of consumers co-operatives. 76.5% of new mortgage loans (equating to 159.4m) was provided to retail customers, in addition to a further 100.0m of unsecured loans\personal loans (equal to 64.1% of production). The commercial development allowed to increase by 10.9% (compared to the figure at the end of 2013 also inclusive of around 12,600 accounts present in Banca Sai SpA at the same date) the number of ordinary current accounts that amounted to around 317,500 at 31 December 2014. Therefore, by considering also the accounts coming from Banca Sai SpA, a particularly positive figure is the drop in the churn rate of 9.0%, significantly down compared to December 2013 (11.8%). The acquisition rate has also increased considerably reaching 19.9% (13.1% as December 2013) with more than 57,000 open accounts. The increase in openings concerned all the distribution channels with +49.9% for branches, +44.8% for agency channels, which is joined by the MyUnipol channel (launched during the second half of 2013) with around 3,000 new accounts. At 31 December 2014, the amounts of direct customer deposits recorded a 1.8% increase (equating to 181.3m) reaching 10.2bn; by including in the value at 31 December 2013 also 840.3m of Banca Sai SpA, they would decrease by 6.0%, equating to 659.0m. Lending to customers compared to 2013 increased by 2.2% (equating to 212.1m) reaching 9.8bn; including in the initial figure 682.5m of Banca Sai SpA at 31 December 2013, the change would decrease by 4.6%, equating to 470.3m. Nonperforming loans at 31 December 2014 were 3,896.1m (gross value), up 720.2m compared to 2013. It should be kept in mind that part of this increase was due to the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA, whose gross non-performing loans at 31 December 2013 amounted to 171.3m. Net doubtful loans amounted to 1,583.3m and represent 16.1% of net loans (12.9% in 2013 without considering those of Banca Sai SpA). The percentage of coverage of non-performing loans increased from 26.7% in 2013 (without Banca Sai SpA) to 29.6% at the end of 2014. Net interest and other banking income reached 401.5m, up (+31.1%) compared to 2013, thanks to the contribution of Banca Sai SpA ( 31.6m the value of net interest and other banking income of Banca Sai SpA at 31 December 2013), and of capital gains of 76.3m 5 obtained from the sale of Government securities, in addition to the good results obtained by assets under administration and banking services. Financial operations recorded 20

Net interest income also increased by 12.6m (+6.1%) and amounted to 219.1m ( 19.1m the 2013 figure of Banca Sai SpA), whereas net commission income amounted to 104.0m, recording a 10.7% increase ( 10.9m the 2013 figure of Banca Sai SpA). The 2014 financial year recorded adjustment loans totalling 194.1m with a cost of credit risk at 31 December 2014 of 197.5 points, down compared to the figure at the end of 2013 (of 318.2 points, calculated on the values of Unipol Banca only). Moreover, the income statement was affected by net adjustments to securities of the AFS portfolio, equity investments and unsecured loans totalling 53.1m ( 175.8m the figure at the end of 2013, inclusive of 124.7m of adjustments to goodwill not repeated in 2014). Operating expenses, amounting to 267.3m, increased by 4.4% compared to the previous year with a cost/ income 7 of 66.6%, down compared to the figure of December 2013 (83.6%) thanks to the increase in net interest and other banking income. Note that the operating costs of Banca Sai SpA at the end of 2013 amounted to 16.5m. The result before tax showed a loss of 113.0m (a loss of 431.7m at 31 December 2013), whereas the net result, after considering positive taxes of 22.0m, was a negative 91.0m (a loss of 299.6m in 2013). During 2014, the DISTRIBUTION NETWORK recorded the closure of 5 branches for grouping together on the same banking centre or adjacent centres and the addition of the 4 branches of the former Banca Sai and therefore, at 31 December 2014, looked like this: 291 bank branches, of which: -- 153 Integrated with insurance agencies; -- 138 Traditional; 344 Financial advisers with mandate; 1,805 Agency sales units qualified for the sale of bank products.

1 Management Report Comment on the Main Statement of Financial Position Items Direct Customer Deposits Direct customer deposits at 31 December 2014, equating to 10,248.3m, increased compared to the value of December 2013 (+1.8%), thanks to the masses acquired with the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA of 840.3m at 31 December 2013. Considering also these masses at 31 December 2013, the change would be negative by 6.0%.

We would like to note that during 2014 bonds of 458.8m, previously placed with ordinary customers and totally replaced thanks to a commercial effort that allowed to place 624.0m of new bonds issued, expired. The Bank, with a view to extending its average duration of liabilities, concluded also a transaction with an institutional investor by placing 200m of bonds repurchased at the time by the Bank upon issuance. Moreover, the Bank placed with institutional investors notes, originally issued by its securitisation vehicle and at the same time repurchased upon the issue by Unipol Banca SpA (subject-matter of the so-called self-securitisation ), increasing the value of these securities present on the market to 757.7m ( 485.1m at 31/12/2013). As a result of the above, in 2014 medium/long-term components, represented by the issued bonds and by the notes of the securitisation, increased by 558.2m, reaching 32.6% of total direct customer deposits (27.7% at 31/12/2013). Short-term deposits recorded a total reduction of 376.9m, due to the significant drop in current accounts ( 443.0m) and time deposits (- 158.7m), only partially offset by the increase in repurchase agreements (+ 128.0m) mainly attributable to transactions with Cassa Compensazione e Garanzia (+ 124.7m).

The increase recorded during the financial year, totalling 720.2m (+22.7% compared to the end of the previous financial year) is partially due to the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA into the Bank, completed in November 2014, which led to the recording of non-performing loans of the merged bank in the accounting records of the merging company (at 31 December 2013, they amounted to 171.3m). During the financial year, the coverage ratio increased by 2.9 percentage points. The trend of non-performing loans is represented in the following table: Amounts in m 2014 2013 % Change Gross non-performing loans 3,896 3,176 22.7% Adjustment funds (1,154) (847) 36.3% Net non-performing loans 2,742 2,329 17.7% Coverage ratio 29.6% 26.7% 2.9% Net non-performing loans /Loans 27.9% 24.2% 3.7% The Bank mitigated the credit risk by entering into an agreement (hereto the Indemnity Agreement) with its holding company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, on 3 August 2011, according to which the holding company 25

1 Management Report undertook to indemnify the Bank for losses that it may endure after having pursued all remedies and out-ofcourt and legal actions. The Indemnity Agreement covers a segment of net non-performing exposures which, at 31 December 2014, amounted to 706.8m, mostly related to counterparties in the real estate, extended effective as from the end of the year to additional non-performing loans of 200.9m, for the total amount of non-performing loans covered by an indemnity amounting to 907.7m. With the indemnity agreement, the Bank basically transferred to third parties the credit risk related to the positions related to it, net of adjustment funds. The following table shows the breakdown of non-performing loans by category. Amounts in m Gross value Funds Net value % hedged % on net loans Doubtful loans 2,530 (947) 1,583 37.4% 16.1% Watchlist loans 1,128 (163) 965 14.5% 9.8% Restructured loans 162 (41) 121 25.2% 1.2% Past Due loans 76 (3) 73 3.8% 0.7% Total Non-performing loans 3,896 (1,154) 2,742 29.6% 27.9% In December 2013, an agreement was signed with an external company for the management of the recovery of a portfolio of non-performing loans, mostly doubtful loans. In this way, the Bank was able to better focus its resources, also in terms of staff, to the management of the most important positions and, at the same time, benefit from the experience of a company specialised in the recovery of non-performing loans. Gross doubtful loans at 31 December 2014 amounted to 2,529.9m ( 1,914.6m at 31/12/2013). The adjustment funds increased for a total of 267.8m (including adjustment funds transferred from other categories of nonperforming loans, uses for transfers to losses and write-backs, the funds set aside by Banca Sai SpA before the merger). The change in doubtful loans during the financial year is shown in the following table: 2014 2013 % Change Gross doubtful loans 2,529,899 1,914,582 32.1% Funds (946,584) (678,820) 39.4% Net doubtful loans 1,583,315 1,235,762 28.1% % hedged 37.4% 35.5% 1.9% Net doubtful loans/loans 16.1% 12.9% 3.2% The increase in gross doubtful loans at 31 December 2014, totalling 615.3m, was originated, in addition to doubtful loans brought by Banca Sai SpA with the merger that at 31 December 2013 amounted to 105.7m, for 366.0m by lending operations accompanied by voluntary collateral (60% of the total increase recorded during the year). The coverage ratio increased by around 2 percentage points, by increasing the adjustment funds from 678.8m of 31 December 2013 to 946.6m at the end of the year. Net doubtful loans covered by the Indemnity Agreement at 31 December 2014 amounted to 707.7m, of which 95.4m for new positions included covered by an indemnity effective as from the end of the year. The effects generated by the Indemnity Agreement in terms of hedging the credit risk on doubtful positions are highlighted in the following table: 26

As highlighted in the previous table, the Indemnity Agreement covers most of the secured loans, specifically large exposures towards certain groups in the real estate and construction segment, in that the Bank intended, in this way, to neutralise the credit risks connected to the enhancement of value or the disposal of large real estate complexes, during a recession and contraction in demand on the market. The other classes of non-performing loans 10 recorded a total growth of 104.9m (gross of the adjustment funds) reaching 1,366.2m; the funds amounted to 207.0m. The coverage ratio on watchlist loans shows a 1.7% decrease, partially due to an increase of the component accompanied by collateral and, more significantly, by the extension of the Indemnity Agreement to watchlist positions. On the other hand, the hedging of restructured loans increased by 15.5 points and the hedging of past-due loans increased by 1.7 points. The breakdown of the different classes is shown in the following tables: 2014 2013 % Change Gross watchlist loans 1,127,597 930,216 21.2% Funds (163,191) (150,795) 8.2% Net watchlist loans 964,406 779,421 23.7% % hedged 14.5% 16.2% (1.7%) Net watchlist loans/loans 9.8% 8.1% 1.7% Gross restructured loans 162,246 133,255 21.8% Funds (40,908) (12,961) 215.6% Net restructured loans 121,338 120,293 0.9% % hedged 25.2% 9.7% 15.5% Net restructured loans/loans 1.2% 1.3% (0.1%) Gross Past Due loans 76,340 197,813 (61.4%) Funds (2,889) (4,067) (29.0%) Net Past Due loans 73,451 193,747 (62.1%) % hedged 3.8% 2.1% 1.7% Net Past Due loans/loans 0.7% 2.0% (1.3%) Past due loans clearly decreased, down by 121.5m, whereas restructured loans increased by 29.0m: these are in part results driven by the reorganisation of management processes of problem loans, which improved the predictability of the risk measurement tools in order to prevent the deterioration of credit relations, in addition to an increasing attention to the identification of negotiating solutions to the positions with more evident problems. 27

Concentration Risk In the statement of financial position at 31 December 2014 Receivables from customers included two major types of exposure, the level of concentration of the risk and the sector of activity, almost all being property. Most of them fall into 26 economic groups, with a total exposure of 1,206m, 763m of which classified as doubtful and 432m of which classified under other non-performing positions, in addition to doubtful positions but performing of 11m; all were backed by 99.8m of adjustment funds. At 31 December 2013, this portfolio segment included 21 economic groups for a total exposure of 876.8m, with adjustment funds of 83.8m. Much of this portfolio is covered by the Indemnity Agreement in force with the holding company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, the commitment of which goes well beyond the mere assumption of an indemnification obligation, also resulting in the support of the enhancement of the value of the real estate assets used as collateral for the loans. The Bank continues the activity for the restructuring of exposures, for identifying professional operators interested in taking on the real estate initiatives financed, more in general for identifying ways and interlocutors capable of fully enhancing the value of the assets the repayment of the exposure of which depends on their disposal or profitability. Contingent Liabilities Unipol Banca SpA executed the following orders on financial transactions: in November 2007 and July 2009 several Unipol Banca SpA customers took civil and criminal action relating to alleged irregularities and illicit activities carried out by Unipol Banca SpA while dealing in financial derivatives OTC. The plaintiffs submitted claims for compensation for a total of 67m. The preliminary criminal investigations concluded in April 2009 with the Public Prosecutor applying for the case to be dismissed and the plaintiffs opposing said application. Considering the claims of the plaintiffs to be unfounded, Unipol Banca SpA also applied for the civil case to be dismissed and made a counterclaim for payment of the receivables due to Unipol Banca by the plaintiffs. In November 2009, the counterparties presented further claims for compensation totalling 145m. In court, Unipol Banca SpA disputed the admissibility of the new claims, not only on the grounds that they had been made very late but also on the grounds that they were totally unfounded. In July 2011, the judge for the preliminary investigations in Bologna had ordered that the criminal proceedings instigated as a result of the private prosecution brought by these customers who had operated in financial derivatives be dismissed. Within the context of the civil court proceedings, the judge ordered intervention by the official court expert to clarify, among other things, the amounts and results of transactions in derivatives over the years. In April 2012, the reports of the court expert relating to cases of a lesser amount were deposited: in all cases, the expert appointed by the judge confirmed that the amounts booked and deduced in court by the Bank correctly portray the result of the transactions performed, also with reference to the entity of the revenues collected by the 28

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 customers over the years. The same conclusion was reached in the expert s report deposited in September 2012 in relation to cases for a higher amount: in this case too, the official court expert quantified the entity of the earnings matured over the years by the customers at a considerable sum, substantially in line with that deduced in court by the Bank. With orders on 31 December 2013, the Court accepted further preliminary investigations formulated by the Bank and therefore, re-convened the court expert for any further clarification, in addition to bringing the evidences from witnesses requested by the Bank. At the hearing held in April 2014, the court expert made the requested clarification. With regard to the cases for a higher amount, evidences from witnesses were acquired at the hearing of 19 June, since at the outcome the circumstances deducted in the items of evidence articulated by the Bank s defence were confirmed. After the end of the year, at the hearing of 5 February 2015, other witnesses summoned by the Bank and by counterparties were examined; at the outcome, the investigating judge fixed the final hearing on 10 March 2015. Meanwhile, one of the counterparties involved expressed its willingness to reach a settlement agreement ending the dispute, with waiver of the parties of any mutual claim and/or dispute: with regard to this counterparty, the Judge adjourned the case to 19 November 2015 to allow the formalisation of the settlement agreement. No further evolution was recorded during the current financial year. Indirect Customer Deposits Indirect customer deposits in 2014 of 49.1bn recorded a significant increase (+ 25.4bn) following the merger of Banca Sai SpA, whose masses at 31 December 2013 amounted to 19.7bn. Considering these masses in the initial figure, a 13.3% increase would be recorded, equating to 5.7bn, divided between the masses of the UnipolSai Group (+13.5% for 5.4bn) and ordinary customers (+10.2% for 331.8m). Overall, ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT at 31 December 2014 amounted to 1.9bn (+52.8% compared to December 2013) divided into portfolio management ( 227.2m), funds ( 937.2m) and Life insurance ( 702.5m). 29

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Comment on the Main Income Statement Items 12 - Calculated as the sum of items 70, 80, 90 and 100 of the Income Statement. NET INTEREST INCOME of 2014, equal to 219.1m, increased compared to 2013 by 6.1% (equating to 12.6m). Growth has been possible thanks to the contribution of Banca Sai, whose net interest income in 2013 amounted to 19.1m, and to the reductions in the cost of funding that offset the loss in net interest income deriving from higher non-interest bearing masses of assets (doubtful loans). NET COMMISSION INCOME, equal to 104.0m, increased by 10.7% (+ 10.1m compared to 2013). The contribution of Banca Sai ( 10.9m net commission income in 2013) and the growth of the component linked to indirect customer deposits made it possible to offset the increase of the liability component linked to the indemnity agreement signed with Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA (+ 12.9m as a result of the widening of the area subject matter of the agreement and to the change in its economic conditions). As regards FINANCIAL OPERATIONS 12, 2014 showed an increase compared to 2013 of 72.6m ( 1.7m the figure of Banca Sai in 2013). The growth is attributable to the sale/purchase of Government securities that generated higher revenues of 70.4m, and to dividends received by the subsidiary Finitalia. 2014 2013 Change Dividends and similar income 2,290 496 1,794 Net result from trading 11,355 (6,030) 17,385 Net result from hedging 229 (122) 351 Profits (losses) on disposal or repurchase 64,548 11,512 53,036 Financial operations 78,422 5,856 72,566 Overall, therefore, the NET INTEREST AND OTHER BANKING INCOME at 31 December 2014 was 401.5m, up 31.1% compared to 2013, with a significant change in the breakdown of its components. 2014 2013 Change Net interest income 219,082 206,437 12,645 Net commission income 104,016 93,930 10,086 Financial operations 78,422 5,856 72,566 Net interest and other banking income 401,520 306,223 95,297 35

IMPAIRMENT ADJUSTMENTS at 31 December 2014 of 194.1m decreased by 111.8m compared to 2013 (-36.6%) but are still high (risk cost 13, of 197.5 basis points compared to 318.2 basis points in 2013). In addition to these adjustments, during the financial year LOSSES ON EQUITY INVESTMENTS amounted to 2.0m (not present in 2013), NET ADJUSTMENT TO AFS PORTFOLIO of 48.0m ( 49.6m at 31 December 2013) and adjustments to OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS of 3.1m (compared to 1.5m in 2013), due to write-downs on unsecured loans. The STAFF at 31 December 2014 numbered 2,388 employees, up 63 resources compared to 31 December 2013. Considering also the 2013 staff of Banca Sai SpA of 146 resources, a reduction of 83 resources would be recorded in 2014.

The increase derived exclusively from the merger by incorporation with Banca Sai (that showed costs in 2013 of 16.5m) therefore, including in the 2013 balance the figure of Banca Sai, operating expenses decreased by 5.3m. Compared to the net interest and other banking income, the incidence of operating expenses deteriorated by 17 percentage points, decreasing from 83.6% in 2013 to 66.6% in 2014, thanks to the recovery of net interest and other banking income, which more than cancelled out the increase in operating expenses. Result for the Period and Comprehensive Income The result net of income taxes at 31 December 2014 was a loss of 113.0m, an improvement over the 431.7m gross loss recorded in 2013. Taxes at 31 December 2014 were a positive 22.0m, with a net loss of 91.0m (loss of 299.6m in 2013). The analysis of the statement of comprehensive income shows the total income generated during the year, highlighting, together with the economic result, also the result of changes in the value of assets booked as contraentries to specific equity items. Overall, the other income components net of taxes deteriorated the result for 2014 by 15.4m, reducing the loss to 106.3m (loss of 272.4m at 31/12/2013). 37

1 Management Report Policies and Strategies 2014 During 2014, all the activities envisaged by the 2014-2017 Business Plan of the Bank were started and the initiatives illustrated in the Marketing Plan for 2014 were drawn up. A close monitoring of the actions and commercial objectives (KPI) was introduced in order to measure the progress of performance envisaged by the Plan. The Bank-Company agreement was redefined in 2014 focusing on the commissions system for the placement of the banking products standardised on a win-win approach in order to favour development and develop the loyalty of integrated customers and the widening of the area of agencies that collaborate with the bank, with the introduction of additional 450 agencies. The Bank/Company synergy was further strengthened by creating a parallel chain in the two commercial structures, which includes the presence of similar coordination figures with the task of developing the Bank business. Monthly initiatives for the acquisition of insurance customers (assurance to bank) and for the presentation of bank customers to the agencies (bank to assurance) were planned: the first experiment of commercial development of the Bank in favour of the Insurance Company with a reciprocity approach. In the early months of 2014, the Accounts Catalogue of Unipol Banca SpA was completely renewed with the launch of the new Valore Comune dedicated to Private customers, Professionals, Companies and Cooperatives, with the aim to simplify, rationalise and focus more the offer to the targets of reference, increase customer base and attract new deposits and investments. The offer was strengthened by a series of promotional initiatives combined during the year with the new accounts catalogue, such as the absence of charge for the first year or for the first six months, discounts on UnipolSai Assicurazioni insurance policies or the zero-interest payment in instalments of the motor insurance policy. Within a process of rationalisation and standardisation of the existing Agreements, the Valore Comune Line was combined with an offer dedicated to the targets of reference of the Bank (Suppliers and Fiduciaries of the Group, Large Retail Chains, Partner Organisations), with a standard agreement to be offered to Companies with special arrangements and with an offer dedicated to Joint owners. A joint development project with the Parent Company for defining an offer dedicated to the different Companies of the Group. Some communication tools to support the network were introduced during the year (short commercial videos, datasheets at the disposal of the manager) to improve the knowledge of offers and products of the bank. As part of the development and acquisition of Private Customers, in line with the growth objectives of the Business Plan, a specific offer aimed at acquiring new Liquidity and Financial Resources (AFI) for both new and old customers, by using two new types of specifically created Time Deposits. The financing instruments that Unipol Banca offers to Customers increased when it started to market a loan with a very competitive spread that finances up to 50% of the value of the property and through the collaboration with Finitalia, a company specialising in consumer credit. The restyling of the catalogue of loans dedicated to Companies and Private Customers Consumers was also started, for a better risk monitoring by the Customer s rating class and for rationalising the available products. Finally, capitalisation products dedicated to Cooperatives, Start Ups and female entrepreneurship were prepared. New segmentation criteria of Corporate Customers (with annual sales of more than 2.5m) were defined, whose first result was the creation of a specific offer for companies with sales ranging from 2.5m to 5m. A specific offer dedicated to Agents, Financial Advisers, Sub-Agents and Employees was prepared. During 2014, a new distribution agreement of the American Express credit cards for private customers and companies was reached; its offer completed the mid to high end service portfolio with a high standing product, besides with the credit risk entirely on Amex. In terms of business customers, the Mobile POS was also introduced with the CartaSi partner, an innovative instrument that allows mobile professionals to manage collections anywhere by means of devices such as smartphones or tablets, turning them into real payment terminals. For the Remote Banking segment, new developments in terms of marketing and communication were launched to promote the offer, in particular by expanding digital communication, the restyling of the website and the launch of social channels. The offer of My Unipol Banca products was also enhanced with the launch of Save Up, a three-year accumulation deposit account aimed at stabilising the deposits. The GeoReti service - geomarketing platform aimed at providing the branches with a more efficient instrument in commercial initiatives for prospect customers (Professionals and Small Business, in particular) - was also issued in 2014. 38

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Financial Activity Within the scope of Asset Management, 2014 was characterised by two spheres of development: Investment management: within the scope of investment management, the provision of support and advice to individual customers and to the commercial structure continued, both at retail customer, high-standing private customer and institutional customer level (foundations, social security entities and companies). With reference to retail customers, all the lines reported positive returns, with a special reference to lines with equity content. Management of minority assets: a catalogue of products for distribution, managed by investment houses with an excellent reputation on the market and with a complete product range, allowed in 2014 to reach largely positive net inflows, with an increase in the masses of funds and Sicav of around 40%. These values do not include the strong positive contribution from the merger of Unipol Banca and Banca Sai, which has further enriched the product catalogue as part of assets under management, now composed of 12 investment houses among the most prestigious worldwide. The constant training and information for the networks carried out by the organisational structure dedicated to fund advisory activities were essential for the excellent figures of net inflows. O.T.C. derivatives: the Bank entered into interest rates swaps on its own Government Bonds during 2014, solely within the scope of its own financial investments. Complaints Management 15 - Type of complaining customer (ABI M.A.T. 03/07.2009 document page 14.) Private customers: People with the qualification of consumer in accordance with Art. 121, paragraph one of the Consolidated Banking Law. Intermediary: this category consists of small business customers, craftsmen, professionals, traders, schools, associations and companies (excluding capital companies). Other: this category includes every other type of customer that does not fall within the two previous definitions (e.g.: local health departments, municipalized companies, capital companies and other enterprises). Unipol Banca SpA has always paid particular attention to the management of complaints, basing relations with customers on the principles of transparency, assistance and quality: a satisfied and correctly informed customer is a capital that our bank wishes to protect. Customer complaints made in writing are divided in the following categories: 1. complaints concerning investment services ( CONSOB complaints); 2. PSD complaints (complaints concerning the PSD Regulations: payment instruments, bank transfers, dd, etc.); 3. ordinary complaints, regarding all the banking services and operations apart from those indicated in the previous points. At 31 December 2014, 875 complaints were registered (818 in 2013), of which 37 (4%) retraceable to complaints relating to investment services, 76 (9%) PSD complaints and 762 (87%) relating to ordinary complaints (for example, claims on current accounts, ATM cards, mortgages). 62% of the complaints (544) were made by Private Customers, 213 (24%) by Other and the remaining 118 (14%) by Intermediaries 15. In view of the classification supplied by the ABI, the products that determined most complaints were current accounts (35%), mortgages (18%) and credit/debit cards (10%). The causes, on the other hand, were mainly the application of conditions (38%), the execution of operations (26%) and frauds/losses (9%). The outcome of the complaints was positive/partially positive for the Customer in 28% of cases (it should be noted that this percentage is attributable, in most cases, to trade policies of the Bank with regard to Customers with a view to customer care) while it was negative in 51% of the cases and clarifications were provided in 17% of cases. It should be noted that, at 31 December 2014, 35 complaints are being handled, equal to 4% of total complaints received. 39

1 Management Report Disputes Settled out of Court In accordance with legislation, for some time our Bank has been a member of the various entities dealing with the out-of-court settlement of any disputes between Banks and Customers (Financial and Banking Arbitrator and Legal Banking Ombudsman). Financial and Banking Arbitrator The Financial and Banking Arbitrator is the new conciliation body set up within the Bank of Italy. At 31 December 2014, Customers presented 34 appeals and the Financial and Banking Arbitrator made 35 decisions, 20 of which referring to those presented in 2013 and 15 related to appeals presented in 2014: 13 appeals had a negative outcome (37%) of which 8 (23%) with acceptance of the claims (2 total acceptances and 6 partial), whereas for 5 appeals (14%) the Arbitrator ordered the termination of the bone of contention in that, pending the judgement, there was a refund in favour of the customer. Finally, the Arbitrator made 1 decision declaring the case inadmissible/non-receivable. Legal Banking Ombudsman At 31 December 2014, 6 appeals to the Legal Banking Ombudsman were notified to the Bank. Risk Management and Control Within the scope of the control system, Unipol Banca SpA has set up a risk management system, a process used in support of the company strategy that allows adequate understanding of the nature and importance of the risks to which the company is exposed. The main components of the risk management system show the risk controlling policies (or also policies ) and the new Risk Appetite Framework (hereinafter RAF ). The Risk Appetite is defined as the level of risk, overall and by type, that Unipol Banca intends to take in order to attain its strategic objectives with a focus on solid equity position and financial stability. Through this framework, the Board of Directors defines and approves the objectives of risk and any thresholds of tolerance, stated in terms of venture capital, capital adequacy, liquidity, leverage, approaches taken to manage non-quantifiable risks. This process includes different activities (identification, assessment, monitoring and intervention) for mitigating present or expected risks. The risk management system allows the company to have a single point of view and a holistic approach to risk management, which is an integral part of business management. As part of the adjustments to the New Provisions of the Bank of Italy on Internal Control Systems provided for by the 15th update of Circular 263/2006 during 2014, the main risk controlling policies were updated. The head of the Bank s Risk Management Department is in constant contact with the Risk Management Department of the Parent Company, UGF and with the other departments of Unipol Banca and the subsidiaries, in order to ensure that risk management policies and risk governance are applied uniformly and consistently at Group level. As well as implementing the usual system risk monitoring activity, during 2014, Unipol Banca s Risk Management Department also concentrated on the following new activities summarised below: New Provisions of the Bank of Italy on Internal Control Systems, IT Systems and Business Continuity (15th update of Circular 263/2006 of 2 July 2013; Chap 7,8,9). During the financial year, the structures in charge of the Bank, in coordination with the Parent Company UGF, put in place the measures required for complying with the regulations no later than 1 July 2014 (effective date). The documents, regulations and policies were approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol Banca during the board meeting of 30 June 2014; Basel 3: new rules on capital and liquidity of banks. During 2014, the Risk Management continued its cooperation with other business structures as part of activities undertaken to adjust to the new Supervisory regulations effective as from 1 January 2014. With regard to the liquidity risk, in compliance with the new regulations, the prudential disclosures related to the monitoring of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) referring to the months starting from March 2014 were sent to the Bank of Italy within the established deadlines. The Risk Management Department collaborated with other company departments concerned to define and test the measurement metrics implemented in the application, provided by the outsourcer 40

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 CEDACRI, for calculating the LCR. With reference to the leverage risk, a specific policy called Policy for calculating and monitoring the leverage was prepared in accordance with the new provisions. This Policy describes the methods of calculation and the monitoring process provided in order to limit the risk of excessive leverage. The different prudential disclosures on the leverage ratio on an individual basis, produced on a quarterly basis, were sent to the Bank of Italy; ICAAP report. The Annual assessment report on the adequacy of Internal Capital, drawn up in compliance with Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013, was approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol Banca on 23 April 2014 and then sent to the Bank of Italy; Tableau de Bord. in response to the request made during the year by the Bank of Italy to the heads of the Risk Management, Compliance and Audit departments of the banking groups subject to the supervision of the Banking Supervision Service 2, the Risk Management department began to submit on a quarterly basis to the Corporate Bodies a tableau de bord that summarises the results of the analyses carried out by the Risk Management department on the level of exposure of the banking group to the different types of risks (credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate, concentration etc.), to the development of the quality of loans, to the consistency of the risks actually taken (first and second pillar) and of any increase in operational volumes. Credit risk. During 2014, a Working Group was started at the outsourcer CEDACRI, in which our Bank took part together with other banks of the consortium, with the aim of reaching PD and Loss Given Default (LGD) measures recalibrated on the basis of a more recent time horizon than the one previously in force, able to consider also the effects of the current economic situation and align the existing models to the regulatory definitions of default. The new recalibrated PDs, related to the models for corporate and private customers, were released in the second half of 2014 and were applied for the first time in Unipol Banca in December 2014. As part of the monitoring of the quality of loan portfolio, the Risk Management, during the year, contributed to a further gradual and prudent extension of the areas of application of the internal rating system of the Bank in the process of credit risk taking and management (measuring individual risk, independent authorities, riskreturn combination, accounting provisions on performing loans). Liquidity/ALM and Market Risk. During 2014, following a request made by the Bank of Italy in the first months of the year, the Board of Directors on 23 April 2014 approved a liquidity plan for 2014-2015, prepared with the contribution of the Risk Management. Operational Risks. On 17 December 2014, the Operational Risk Management Policy was approved by the Board of Directors of Unipol Banca; this policy defines the general outline for the operational risk management and was prepared in compliance with the Bank of Italy regulations of reference in force. Managing of Non-Compliance Risk Unipol Banca SpA s Compliance Department is responsible for assessing the adequacy of procedures, processes and internal organisation in order to prevent the risk of sanctions, capital losses or damages to the Bank s image or reputation deriving from the breach of external regulations (laws, rules, provisions of the Supervisory Authorities) and internal rules (for example: by-laws, codes of conduct, codes of self-regulation). The Compliance Department is involved in the ex-ante assessment of conformity to regulations applicable of all the new projects (including operations in new products or services) that the Bank intends to undertake; moreover, offers assistance and advice to the bank bodies on all matters affected by a risk of non-conformity. It also cooperates in staff training in the provisions applicable to the activities performed, in order to encourage a corporate ethos of honesty, correct behaviour and respect of the spirit and the letter of the regulations. It also assesses the implementation of the operations planned and/or effectiveness of the existing organisational activities with reference to regulations already in force or for which appropriate measures have already been applied (ex-post activities). The department is directly responsible for managing the risk of non-compliance with regard to relevant regulations, such as those concerning the carrying out of banking and brokerage activities, management of conflicts of interest, transparency with regard to customers and, more in general, the regulations for the protection of the consumer, and for regulatory areas in respect of which forms of specialised supervision are not already provided for within the Bank. The department carries out its activity both with reference to the Bank and to other companies controlled by it. As regards compliance activities, at the beginning of the year, the department identifies the measures to take with reference to new regulations and to product or process innovations (ex-ante activities) and the activities to be carried out on regulations already in force or in relation to which appropriate steps have already been taken 41

1 Management Report with a view to assessing the implementation of the activities planned and/or the effectiveness of the existing organisational activities. On-going operations and those inherent in the general management of the noncompliance risk are also identified. The compliance activities are planned on the basis of the risk, taking into consideration the Department s aims and its main activities. To this end, the following aspects are considered: the evolution of the regulatory context of reference, the results of the previous year s Compliance monitoring activity and the monitoring of the relative corrective measures, the results of the Compliance Risk Assessment activities carried out during the previous year, the results of the activities of the departments that monitor the regulatory areas of interest on the Compliance Department during the previous year and the relative corrective measures, the Bank s strategic and business orientation and the comprehensive degree of implementation of the first level checks. The Bank bodies receive at least yearly reports on the planning, pursuit of activities and relative results as envisaged by the Supervisory Provisions. The Department also provides a regular report to the Internal Control Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors and the General Manager, on the highlights of the non-compliance risks reported and the relative improvement measures taken or to be taken. During 2014, the Compliance Department continued to provide support and opinions, where appropriate, via participation in the numerous projects of the Bank, some of which completed to date, other still in progress (including participation in the regulatory adaptation projects related to the 15th update to Circular 263/2006 of Bank of Italy, to the Fatca tax legislation, to the 1st update related to Corporate governance and to the 2nd update related to the Banking Groups of Circular 285/2013 of Bank of Italy. With reference to the ex-post monitoring activities, the Department continued its monitoring activities, particularly with regard to investment services (including checks concerning the methods of provision of investment services, reporting obligations/information to be provided to customers and management and reporting of orders), transparency, usury, protection of the consumer, conflicts of interest. Also, it continued to provide support and consultancy to the structures of the Bank in order to ensure the proper application of the organisational procedures on related parties. Lastly, the Department continued to provide advice and assistance to the Bank s top management and to the other companies controlled by it, supporting the Bank s organisational structures (support with the issue of internal regulations: provisions, circulars, service orders) and, in general, the Banking Group in the fulfilment of the obligations imposed by the Supervisory Authorities (requests for information and/or explanations/inspections). Human Resources and Organisation Within the scope of the more comprehensive framework of business strategies, on the matter of Human Resources, human capital (professional and managerial) was developed and made the most of during 2014, with the activation of professional and territorial mobility processes aimed at ensuring the best possible coverage of the organisational positions in terms of quality and quantity. Specifically, Personnel Management supported the organisational changes made, identifying suitable resources, taking care of the communication phase, the relative support and facilitation of the launch of new structures, where this was envisaged. For example, the action in support of the Development project that involved in this period of the year a group of 100 Developers in the promotion and placement of banking products thanks to a specific Bank Insurance synergy. 42

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 REMUNERATION POLICIES: highlights of the main activities Analysis and verification of the documents prepared by the Parent Company to guarantee alignment with the provisions issued by the Bank of Italy on 18 November 2014 ( Provisions on policies and practices of remuneration and incentives in banks and banking groups ), ensuring at the same time an overall consistency and uniformity on the matter of remunerations within the entire Unipol Group; remuneration policy, approved by the Board of Directors of UGF SpA on 20 March 2014, relating to the banking segment. In observance of the dictates of the Supervisory Body, this policy defines the principles and criteria that Unipol Banca SpA is required to adhere to in the elaboration and application of the remunerative policies and practices in the segment; on 14 May 2014, the Shareholders meeting of Unipol Banca SpA approved the resolution of the Board of Directors on the 2014 Remuneration policies and the ex post information explaining the remuneration disbursed during 2013. Personnel On 31 December 2014, the Bank had 2,388 employees in service, as follows: Open-End Contracts Other Contracts Total F M TOT F M TOT F M TOT General Management 251 309 560 - - - 251 309 560 Commercial Network 650 1,077 1,727 4 1 5 654 1,078 1,732 Other Personnel (*) 60 36 96 - - - 60 36 96 Total 961 1,422 2,383 4 1 5 965 1,423 2,388 (*) Staff on secondment or absent with entitlement to retain the place of employment. Staff members had a higher level of education than the average for the banking system, with 49.8% of employees holding a university degree (ABI statistics 2013: 34.5%), and were younger, with an average age of 43.4, (ABI statistics 2013: 45.1 years old). Despite the intense intra-group incoming mobility, the increase in the number of employees was limited thanks to the implementation of efficiency policies in the coverage of turnover with no replacement provided for 48 resources. The net increase resulted from 148 arrivals, of which 112 employees of Banca Sai SpA inserted as a result of the merger and 18 temporary employees to replace maternity, and the termination of 85 employment contracts, 15 of which early retired workers and 21 transfers to insurance companies of the Parent Company. The turnover of employees, measured using the ratio of new contracts to terminations, net of intra-group transfers, was 0.4, below the replacement value (ABI statistics 2013: 0.7), i.e. new contracts did not offset even half of the terminations of employment contracts during the year. Development and Training The training for all the personnel of Unipol Banca wanted to express, also for 2014, the explicit will to set itself as an essential tool for the growth of people s skills and knowledge, as well as key factor in facilitating professional development. Its purpose was to strongly enhance the company s commitment towards recognising, as a priority, the human resources present in the company. This is why training is a method for guaranteeing compatibility between the characteristics of the persons, the tasks assigned to them, the structures and positions held as well as the operating mechanisms. 43

1 Management Report This attention to the enhancement of the skills of the resources already on the company payroll was further implemented through the use of internal technical and commercial trainers. When the deepening and growth of managerial skills must be allowed, external trainers are still maintained. To consolidate these commitments, in synergy with the UnipolSai training structure, managerial and specialised training courses continued in 2014, targeted and aimed at different professional profiles in order to strengthen the skills for the coverage of current and/or future roles. The training activity in 2014 was characterised by the provision of technical and managerial/relation classroom courses for a total of 6,779 days and by the provision of remote courses using the Unipol Web Academy for a total of 2,853 days, totalling 10,633 days. During 2014, as already occurred in 2013, courses for the preparation and development of the skills of the newly hired resources were started; training in procedures and behaviours was dedicated to the incoming colleagues. The part dedicated to the technical aspects benefited from the support of internal trainers, especially through on-the-job training of the participants. Moreover, to allow greater acceptance of the new banking colleagues coming from Banca Sai SpA and increase their awareness of the corporate banking structure, a meeting was organised with representatives of the General Management and of the Parent Company called Welcome to Unipol Banca in which the organisational structures, the main strategic lines and the Bank s positioning within the Unipol Group were illustrated. The Bank/Insurance training synergy included the continuation of the Starter Pack project for the entry of former Fondiaria Sai Agencies in collaboration with the branch owners, aimed at developing the loyalty of the customer for increased productivity in both sectors. More specifically, with regard to the Network, the training programme specifically designed for the figure of Developer, Retail Sales Managers and the creation of a specific course on the development of the commercial role of the Coordinator continued in 2014. The training sessions on Foreign Sales Development also continued, for the specific figures of persons in charge of the Business centres and corporate managers, for studying in-depth and knowing specific technical aspects, with the help of internal trainers. During November 2014, the procedural course called Il Nuovo Modello di Consulenza di Portafoglio (The New Portfolio Consulting Model) was started: internally designed and produced in collaboration with the Finance Department, it envisages a development in the way and logics with which new investments are proposed, changing from a single-product approach to portfolio logic. It was attended by more than 350 people of the Network. The annual IVASS update aimed at maintaining operational more than 800 branch employees who perform activities related to the proposition and placement of insurance products and the mandatory training on Safety should also be mentioned. By contrast, with regard to the General Management, the training programme designed to enhance communication, collaboration and management of relations between the Management and Network offices was started in 2014 and will continue until May 2015: the programme focused on sharing and the awareness that each colleague contributes, with his/her own activity, to achieving the objectives of the Bank. With regard to the requirements for improving the language skills highlighted by the Finance, Financial Statement, Administration and Finance and Foreign departments, they took shape in 2014 with the creation of a specific Business and Financial English programme, with the setting up of 7 homogeneous groups that attended the lessons of native English speaking teachers for over six months. The training for non-employee financial advisers was also managed, providing them with both classroom courses and remote-learning courses (FAD), to be used by means of the network training platform of UnipolSai Assicurazioni and AssoretiFormazione. The total for 2014 was of 405 FAD training days, and 417 days of classroom training. Industrial Relations Unipol Banca SpA reserved a special attention to relations with trade unions, with the awareness that talks, respecting and separating the respective roles, are the best way to deal with the various phases of company performance. 44

Internal Auditing The internal auditing activity performed by the Audit Department is an independent and objective insurance and advisory activity aimed at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the organisation. It helps the organisation pursue its aims via a systematic professional approach, which generates added value in that it is aimed at assessing and improving the monitoring, risk management and corporate governance processes. Internal Audit is responsible for assessing whether the Internal Control and Risk Management System is adequate and suitable for the type of business carried out and the level of risks taken and whether it needs to be adapted to provide help and advice to the Company s other departments. In performing its tasks, the department structures the auditing activity into process audits, preparation of reports required by legislation and compliance checks/inspections on the commercial network. As regards the audits on head office processes, the auditing activity is planned in such a way as to identify the processes to be checked in advance taking a Risk Based and Process Driven approach, identifying the risk associated with each business process through the assessment made by the Risk Management, considering that the Audit Department is acquainted with the processes, related risks and feedback obtained from the audits carried out in previous years. As regards the compliance checks/inspections on commercial networks, the number and type of operations to be carried out are identified at the beginning of the year, while the single units of the network to be inspected are selected periodically, analysing the risks based on the anomaly indicators or on the basis of reports of potentially irregular aspects received and taking into account the time elapsed since the last inspection on site, regardless of the risk highlighted by the anomaly indicators. In drawing up the plan of activities, the Department also takes account of any specific request by the Senior Management, the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Internal Control Committee and a margin of flexibility to deal with any unforeseeable requirement or requests. The Audit Department reports regularly to the Internal Control Committee on the interventions carried out, any discrepancy found and the improvement actions carried out or to be implemented and possibly the detail of the most important measures and the outcome of the monitoring of the expired recommendations. The Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors are informed of the activity performed at least once a year. Audits on head office processes are carried out analysing the process subject to audit, in order to identify the risks pertinent to the internal checks being carried out, for which to assess the relative efficiency and effectiveness with a follow-up valuation. The results of these activities are promptly reported to the managers of the process analysed and the other control functions, in a specific Audit Report. The same report is also sent to the Chairman and to the Senior Management of the Bank and of Unipol Gruppo Finanziario and, in the event of intervention on a subsidiary of the Banking Group, to its Chairman and Senior Management. During 2014, as regards the process audits and the other audits, the department was engaged in 29 activities, of which 8 currently in progress. The completed operations showed corrective measurements that management has undertaken to implement, indicating those responsible and the envisaged completion date. With reference to the commercial network, the Audit Department carried out checks on observance of the internal and external rules aimed at identifying anomalous trends and/or violations of procedures and 46

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 regulations by the network itself. These checks are also aimed at revealing any finding on the effectiveness/ efficiency of the internal control system of the commercial network and of the head office processes, where they influence the activity performed by the network. Overall, with reference to the branches network, 146 audits were carried out on site and 21 remote audits were carried out during 2014, as well as 16 centralised head office analytical checks relating mostly to inflows of information from other Bank departments. Checks were also carried out on 7 Business Centres and on 94 Financial advisers, 57 of which on site and 37 remote; of the latter, 4 are in progress. A check was also carried out to understand the state of service of the safe deposit boxes. During 2014, the Audit Department was engaged in project works and working groups, including the projects to adapt to the 15th update of Circular no. 263 New prudential supervisory provisions for banks and to the Measure of the Antitrust Authority no. 192 Provisions on circulation of bank information and tracking of banking transactions and the working group engaged in the preparation of the quarterly tableau de bord requested by the Bank of Italy. It has also carried out further checks resulting from regulatory obligations. As envisaged in internal regulations, the Department carried out a preliminary analysis of the corporate communication documents in order to ensure their consistency with Internal Audit and Risk Management System Guidelines approved by the Board of Directors; regular interviews enabled it to keep abreast of how deficiencies revealed in the audit reports were being dealt with; lastly, it drew up the reports for the Supervisory Authorities, the Internal Control Committee and the Board of Directors of the Bank and of each company of the Banking Group, and provided support for the Regulatory Bodies set up in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001. Corporate Governance Independence of Directors As already indicated in the Management Report related to previous financial years, the Bylaws of the Bank provide that at least two members of the Board of Directors have to possess the independence requirements established for statutory auditors by Art. 148, paragraph 3 of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF). The Board of Directors regulations regulated, among other things, the methods used to assess the condition of independence of the Board, envisaging the involvement of individual members and the Board as a whole. In order to keep a close eye on their independence (both during the appointment of each Director and during the annual monitoring of the board) and in view of CONSOB Communication DEM/10046789 of 20 May 2010, the Board of Directors verified on 14 May 2014 and 15 October 2014 (following the appointment of the new director by the ordinary Shareholders Meeting of 3 October 2014) that the directors holding office on the above dates met the independence requirements. The Board of Directors, applying the system described above, identified and ascertained during the above meetings that the eight directors: Oscar Guidetti (Chairman), Gasperoni Elio (Deputy Chairman), Capanna Giuseppe, Gillone Fabrizio, Rizzi Antonio, Cojutti Manuela, Vella Francesco and Venturi Umberto, met the independence requirements. Limit to the Offices Held by Directors As already indicated in the Management Report related to previous financial years, the Bank specified in its Bylaws that the Board of Directors establishes its own rule for limits on the total number of offices that its Directors and Statutory Auditors may hold in all the companies referred to in book V, part V, chapters V, VI and VII of the Civil Code. The Code of Corporate Governance and the Rules governing the Board of Directors established the maximum number of directorships or auditorships deemed appropriate for the role of director to be carried out effectively. The general criteria identified differ for each role (chairman, executive director, nonexecutive director or independent director) depending on the type and size of the companies in which the roles are carried out and whether they belong to the Unipol Group. In 2014, in order to keep a close eye (both during the appointment of each Director and during the annual monitoring of the board) on the existence of any limits, in view of the checks to be carried out subsequently and 47

1 Management Report examined the number and type of the offices held by each director in accordance with the classification adopted, the Board of Directors at its meetings held on 14 May 2014 and 15 October 2014 (following the appointment of the new director by the ordinary Shareholders Meeting of 3 October 2014), resolved that all the Directors holding office on the most recent date were qualified to be Directors of the Bank. Annual Self-Assessment Following (i) the provisions issued by the Bank of Italy in force each time on the matter of corporate governance and organisation of banks, (ii) the provisions concerning the optimum qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of Directors notified to the shareholders, (iii) the appointment of new Directors by the ordinary Shareholders Meeting of 23 April 2013, (iv) the subsequent co-optations occurred in 2013 and 2014, (v) and the appointments by the ordinary Shareholders Meeting of 23 April 2014 and of 3 October 2014 of directors including directors already co-opted, the Board of Directors examined and resolved on refocusing and on the presence of professional skills contemplated by the composition referred to in the previous point (ii). The process of self-assessment carried out on 2014, without prejudice to the fact that there were no significant differences with the previous assessments showed, inter alia, the following: an overall positive opinion on all the areas assessed; a substantially positive assessment on the composition of the internal board committees; that the Board; i) monitors efficiently the financial performance of the Bank, the objectives set and the results achieved; ii) ensures that the Bank is provided with adequate internal controls for risk control; iii) sees to and defines the correct implementation of the risk management process; iv) ensures the effectiveness of the risk management system and the dissemination of a culture of risk; v) effectively manages the potential conflicts of interest and transactions with related parties; vi) operates in an open and positive climate and with spirit of cooperation; that the Chairman performs its role efficiently; the preparation of appropriate actions (also through a broader information outline) that can help improve the preparation and the contribution of the Directors on strategies and organisation as well as the performance of the banking system with a special reference to the recovery of loans and to the development of the legal and regulatory framework; a greater assistance to the Shareholder by the Directors when defining the ex ante optimum qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board both on the method of selection of the new Directors and for a greater focus on the competence related to the knowledge of bank-insurance issues. Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures Foreword and Regulatory References During 2012, Unipol Banca issued, in accordance with Italian Law Decree no. 210 of 6 December 2011, bonds guaranteed by the Italian Government due to their use as collaterals within the scope of a liquidity procurement programme with the ECB, according to the procedure laid down therein that also required the formal listing on a regulated market (occurred later on the MOT, (TBM - Telematic Bonds Market)). These bonds, following the ECB s decision not to consider them usable any more as collaterals as from January 2015, were sold during the financial year to qualified market operators. Moreover, in relation to both the purpose and amount of the issue and the type of investors, the bonds were never traded on that market. Art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) establishes the obligation of companies issuing shares admitted to trading on the regulated markets to entitle a section of the Management Report to the topic of corporate governance and ownership structures. Paragraph 5 of said article envisages particularly that, for companies that do not issue stocks admitted to trading on regulated markets or in multilateral trading systems, the informative obligation be limited to the main characteristics of the risk management and internal control systems existing in relation to the financial informative process, also at consolidated level. The next paragraph looks at the financial informative process, supplying the indications required by the provision of the law, as specified in paragraph 2b of Art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Financial Law. 48

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Systems of Risk Management qnd Internal Control Existing in Relation to the Financial Informative Process Taking into account that envisaged by Art. 154-bis, paragraphs 3 and 4, of legislative decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, the Manager in charge of financial reporting of the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, Maurizio Castellina, certifies the adequacy in relation to the characteristics of the business and the effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures for the formation of the consolidated financial statements on all the Group Companies considered significant, on the basis of the quantitative and qualitative criteria, in terms of contribution to the consolidated financial report of the aforesaid Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA. The method adopted by Unipol Gruppo Finanziario envisages that the significant Companies be those that make a relevant contribution to the determination of the amounts presented in the items of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Applying this method to the figures of the financial statements at 31 December 2013, Unipol Banca was identified as a significant Company in the aggregate for 2014 and included in the corporate setting for the assessment of the adequacy and the effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures. The assessment of the adequacy of the administrative and accounting procedures for the formation of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2014 was based on a process defined by Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA inspired by the COSO Framework (Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Tradeway Commission) and, for the IT component, by the COBIT Framework (Control Objectives for IT and related technology), unanimously recognised as the reference standard for the implementation and assessment of the internal control systems. For further details, see the Annual Report on Corporate Governance that can be found on the website of the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA (www.unipol.it), in the Corporate Governance section. Data Protection The Companies of the Banking Group took all the steps necessary to ensure fulfilment of the obligations envisaged by legislation on the matter of personal data protection (Legislative Decree no. 196/2003), in order to guarantee the defence and integrity of the data of customers, employees, other members of staff and all those with whom they come into contact. Even if Italian Law Decree no. 5 of 9 February 2012 Urgent measures for simplification and development eliminated, with Art. 45, the mandatory preparation of Data Protection Document (DPS), it was considered appropriate to continue to prepare a similar document considering it an important instrument for the pursuit of safety and confidentiality. Other Information At 31 December 2014, the parent company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA directly and indirectly held 100% of Unipol Banca SpA. 49

Transactions with Group Companies The breakdown of the balances of the Statement of Financial Position and of the Income Statement for 2014, with regard to related party transactions of Unipol Banca SpA vis-à-vis the other companies of the Unipol Group, is indicated in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements Part H Related-party transactions. Research & Development Pursuant to Art. 2428 paragraph 2, no. 1), the Bank did not carry out any research and development during the financial year. Significant events after the reporting period In January 2015, the general inspection by the Bank of Italy was completed: the results will be announced by the Supervisory Body in the coming months. On 11 February 2015, an amendment to the Indemnity Agreement was defined with the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA that envisages, effective as from the end of the 2014 financial year, the widening of the area of indemnified non-performing loans to other positions totalling 200.9m (on the basis of the financial statements at 31 December 2014). After this amendment, the overall area of the loans included in the agreement amounted to 907.7m. Business outlook The actions undertaken both in commercial and credit terms suggest that it is possible to recover, albeit in a context still in crisis, the economic equilibrium in the medium term. 50

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements Part A ACCOUNTING POLICIES A.1 GENERAL Section 1 Declaration of compliance with international accounting standards In compliance with Legislative Decree 38 of 28 February 2005, the 2014 financial statements of Unipol Banca SpA were drafted in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), endorsed by the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Union, according to the approval and publication procedure set out in Community Regulation 1606 of 19 July 2002. The financial statements were drawn up in accordance with the instructions issued by the Bank of Italy, exercising the rights and powers conferred by the Decree. In particular, the instructions referred to in Circular 262 of 22 December 2005 as amended, which governs the layout and contents of the financial statements of banks to be drawn up in accordance with international accounting principles, were applied. In drafting the financial statements for the year, reference has been made to the IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, endorsed and effective at 31 December 2014. Recent developments regarding international accounting standards are shown in Section 4 Other aspects below. Section 2 General principles The financial statements are made up of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements. They are also accompanied by the Management Report. The company s financial statements have been drawn up clearly and represent the assets and liabilities, financial situation and economic result for the year in a truthful and correct manner. The measurement criteria are adopted with a view to the business as a going concern, in application of the principles of accruals, relevance and significance of the accounting information and prevalence of the economic substance over the legal form. The assumption that the business is a going concern is considered to be confirmed with reasonable certainty, since it is thought that the Bank, together with the reference group of companies, has adequate resources to guarantee that the business can continue in the foreseeable future. See also Section 4 Other aspects below. The international accounting standards were applied without exception. The currency of account is the Euro. The amounts in the tables to the financial statements are in euro units, while those in the notes to the financial statements are expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are shown in comparative format, stating the values for the previous year. The Notes to the Financial Statements and the Board of Directors Report on Operations supply the information required under applicable legislation, supplemented, where deemed appropriate, by other information that is not compulsory but intended to provide a better picture of the Bank s overall situation. Section 3 Events subsequent to the accounting reference date In January 2015, the general inspection by the Bank of Italy was completed: the results will be announced by the Supervisory Body in the coming months. On 11 February 2015, an amendment to the Indemnity Agreement was defined with the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA that envisages, effective as from the end of the 2014 financial year, the widening of the area of indemnified non-performing loans to other positions totalling 200.9m (on the basis of the financial statements at 31/12/2014). After this amendment, the overall area of the loans included in the agreement amounted to 907.7m. 64

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Section 4 Other aspects Information on expectation of the business to be a going concern The joint coordination board between the Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP on application of the IAS/IFRS according to document 2 of 6 February 2009 Information to be provided in financial reports on expectation of the business to be a going concern, financial risks, impairment tests on assets and uncertainty as to the use of estimates, asked the Directors to make particularly accurate assessments of the existence of the assumption of expected continuation of the business as a going concern. The recommendation was also referred to in document 4 of 3 March 2010, issued jointly by the Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP. Paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1 in particular establish, in brief, that the senior executives must assess the company s ability to continue to operate as a functioning entity, taking into account all the information available on at least the twelve months following the end of the year. The level of analysis depends on the specific circumstances of each individual case. Profits from previous years and easy access to financial resources confirm the presumption that the company will remain in business, even if no detailed analysis is carried out. To this end, having examined the risks and uncertainties connected with the current macroeconomic context, it is considered reasonable to expect that the Bank will continue operating in the foreseeable future and, as a result, the consolidated financial statements for 2014 were drawn up on the assumption that the business is a going concern. The uncertainties connected with problems relating to risks involving liquidity, credit and income were not considered significant and, at any rate, such as not to generate doubts as to business continuing, considering also the Group s solid equity position and facilitated access to financial resources. Risks and uncertainties connected with the use of estimates The application of certain accounting standards necessarily involves significant assessment elements based on estimates and assumptions that are uncertain at the time of their formulation. For the 2014 financial statements, the assumptions made are considered to be appropriate and, as a result, the financial statements were drawn up with clarity and give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of the operations and of the cash flows. In order to make reliable estimates and assumptions, reference was made to the historical experience as well as to other factors considered appropriate in the present case, based on all available information. However, it cannot be ruled out that changes in these estimates and assumptions may have significant effects on the financial and economic situation, as well as on potential assets and liabilities in the financial statements for reporting purposes, should the assessment elements be different than those expressed at the time. The estimates mainly concern: evaluation of receivables; assets and liabilities recognised at fair value (in particular, for level 2 and 3 financial instruments); the analyses aimed at identifying impairment losses on intangible assets (e.g.: goodwill) recorded in the financial statements (impairment test); the quantification of provisions for risks and charges and provisions for employee benefits. For information on the methods used in determining the items in question and the main risk factors, reference is made to paragraphs containing the description of the measurement criteria. Accounting standards and interpretations effective as from 1 January 2014 IFRS 10, 11, 12, amendments to IAS 27 and IAS 28 On 12 May 2011, the IASB published the standards: IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaced IAS 27 with reference to the part concerning the consolidated financial statements and the SIC12 interpretation; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, which replaced IAS 31; 65

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities that contains the requirements of accounting representation for IFRS 10 and 11; IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements ; IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. According to IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all of the following elements: the decision-making power to direct the relevant activities (which affect the economic returns); exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor s returns. IFRS 11 defined a joint arrangement as an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. It distinguishes a joint operation from a joint venture: a joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In accounts, assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement are reflected in the financial statements using the standard of reference; a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. These parties are defined joint venturers. In accounts, the joint venture is consolidated using the equity method. The objective of IFRS 12 is to require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate: the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements. The new IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IFRS 10, 11, 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28 were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1254 of 11 December 2012 and became effective as from 1 January 2014. IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: presentation The 1256/2012 Regulation of the European Commission of 13 December 2012, published in the Official Journal of the European Union No. L 360 of 29 December 2012 amended IAS 32, with reference to the requirements for offsetting financial assets and liabilities. Amendments are effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendments to IFRS 10, 12 and to IAS 27 Investment entities On 31 October 2012, IASB published the document Investment entities that amended IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements ; this document amended IFRS 10 in order to prescribe investment entities to assess their equity investment in a subsidiary at fair value recorded in the income statement rather than consolidate it, in order to better represent their business model. Following this logic, IFRS 12 was amended to impose, in case of application of the exception to the requirement to consolidate, the presentation of a specific information concerning the assessments and the significant assumptions adopted in determining whether the company fell under the case of investment entity. Consequently, IAS 27 was amended in order to provide that the company, as investment entity, is exempt from the consolidation, presents its separate financial statements as the only financial statements and that, if it has to prepare the consolidated financial statements, it is obliged to enter its investment in a subsidiary measured at fair value recorded in the income statement in the consolidated financial 66

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 statements in the same way as the separate financial statements. The above-mentioned amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1174 of 20 November 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendments to IFRS 10, 11 and 12 Transition Guidance The 313/2013 Regulation of the European Commission published on the Official Journal of the European Union, L 95 of 5 April 2013, adopted the amendments introduced by the document published by IASB on 28 June 2012, which allows to limit to the financial year immediately before that of the financial statements the comparative information to be provided in case of consolidation, following the first application of IFRS 10, of equity investments previously not consolidated (this facility is also extended to the transitional provisions of IFRS 11 and 12). Amendments are effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendment to IAS 36 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets On 29 May 2013, IASB published some amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of assets, which are intended to clarify that the recoverable amount disclosures for assets, when this value is based on the fair value net of the disposal costs, concern only the assets whose amount has been reduced. These amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1374 of 19 December 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendment to IAS 39 - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting On 27 June 2013, IASB published some amendments to the international accounting standard IAS 39; these amendments aimed at regulating situations in which a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is subject to novation by a counterparty to a central counterparty as a result of legislation or regulations. Hedge accounting may well continue regardless of the novation, which would not be allowed without the amendment. The amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1375 of 19 December 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Developments regarding IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, as approved by the European Commission, which become effective starting from the financial statements ended or in progress at 31 December 2014, were also implemented by the Bank of Italy with the third update to Circular no. 262 issued on 22 December 2014. The application of the new accounting standards described did not have significant impacts on the result and financial position of the Bank. Forthcoming accounting standards and interpretations The main documents published by the International Accounting Standard Board, which may be relevant for the Bank but not yet applicable in that not yet endorsed by EFRAG or not yet applicable, are also described below. 67

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements IFRIC 21 Levies IFRIC 21 - issued to identify the method and timing of recognition and accounting of the levies (other than income taxes) imposed by a government agency for which the entity does not receive specific goods or services - was published on 20 May 2013. The interpretation deals both with the liability for taxes that fall within the scope of IAS 37 and with those for the levies whose timing and amount are certain. The interpretation published on the Official Gazette L 175 of 14 June 2014 applies starting from the financial years as from 17 June 2014. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments At the end of July, IASB issued, definitively, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, standard replacing the previous versions published in 2009 and in 2010. The new standard concludes a process by stages of reform of the current IAS 39, structured in the revision of the rules of classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting (the regulation on macro hedge is still being defined). More specifically, with regard to financial assets, the new standard adopts a single approach based on the methods of management of financial instruments and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the assets in order to establish the measurement criteria; the new model of impairment, based on a concept of forward-looking expected loss, aims at ensuring a more immediate recognition of losses compared to the current IAS 39 model of incurred loss, whereby the regulation concerning the hedging relations aims at ensuring greater alignment between the accounting representation of hedges and the risk management policies. Currently, the standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2018. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 - Clarification of acceptable methods of amortisation/depreciation and write-down The amendments made to the two accounting principles intend to clarify that amortisation/depreciation calculating methods based on revenues cannot be used, because revenues reflect the methods for generating future economic benefits that derive from the activity of the company to which the assets subject to amortisation/depreciation belong and do not reflect the methods of consumption of expected future economic benefits of the assets. IAS 38 was amended by introducing a presumption of fact according to which the methods for determining the amortisation of intangible assets, based on revenues, are inappropriate for the same reasons outlined with reference to IAS 16. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 will be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IFRS 11 - Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations The document provides clarification on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation by establishing that the acquirer of interests in a joint operation consisting of a company as defined by IFRS 3, must apply all the rules for the accounting of business combinations established by IFRS 3 (the IFRS Interpretations Committee was asked whether the acquirer of interests should apply, on initial recognition of the interest, the principles in IFRS 3 Business combinations or whether the acquirer should instead account for it as the acquisition of a group of assets). The amendments to IFRS 11 will come into effect as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IAS 27 - Equity method in separate financial statements The document introduced the option to use, in the separate financial statements of an entity, the equity method for the measurement of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. As a result, an entity will be able to measure these investments in its separate financial statements at cost, or according to what is envisaged 68

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 by IFRS 9 (or IAS 39), or by using the equity method. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture IFRS 10 was amended to establish that gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, measured with the equity method, are recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate or joint venture. IAS 28 was amended to establish that gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution to an associate or a joint venture of assets that constitute a business are recognised in full. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IAS 19 - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions The amendments to IAS 19 allow to present the contributions made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the contributions are paid. The right is allowed for contributions that are independent of the number of years of service and therefore are related to the service rendered by the employee in the period in which the contributions are paid. The amendments are effective as from the date of commencement of the first financial year, whether it starts on 1 February 2015 or later. IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction contracts, SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. The new model of revenue recognition applies to all contracts with customers except for leases within the scope of IAS 17 Leasing, for insurance contracts and for financial instruments. IFRS 15 identifies a five-step model framework to define the riming and the amount of revenues to be recognised (1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3. Determine the transaction price; 4. Allocate the transaction price; 5. Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2017. Documents of the Supervisory Authorities As from 1 January 2014, the rules set by the Basel Committee on banking supervision regarding capital adequacy (First Pillar) and public disclosure (Third Pillar) (known as Basel III ) were introduced in the European Union: their purpose is to improve the bank s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, improve risk management and governance, and strengthen banks disclosure. The contents of Basel III were translated into Law in Europe by means of two legislative instruments: (EU) Regulation no. 575/2013 ( CRR ) that lays down rules concerning prudential requirements that supervised institutions must comply with of the First Pillar and public disclosure requirements of the Third Pillar; Directive 2013/36/EU ( CRD IV ) that lays down rules concerning the conditions on access to the activity of credit institutions, the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services, the supervisory review process and capital reserves. 69

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements CRR and CRD IV are supplemented by Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) or Implementing Technical Standard (ITS) approved by the European Commission on recommendation from the European Supervisory Authority ( ESA ), which supplement and implement the level 1 Community legislation. The rules and technical standards are directly applicable in national laws, without the need of implementation, and form the so-called Single Rulebook; whereas, the regulation contained in the directive needs to be implemented in national sources of law. To implement and facilitate the application of the new Community guidelines, as well as to carry out an overall review and simplification of the supervisory regulations of the banks, Bank of Italy issued for our country Circular 285 of 17 December 2013 (as amended) Prudential supervisory provisions for banks that: implements the CRD IV regulations, whose implementation, pursuant to the Consolidated Banking Law, pertains to the Bank of Italy; indicates the methods with which national discretions assigned by the Community guidelines to the national authorities were exercised; outlines a comprehensive, organic and rational regulatory framework integrated with directly applicable Community guidelines, in order to facilitate its use by operators during the transition period. The Supervisory Body also issued Circular 286 of 17 December 2013 (as amended) Instructions for the completion of prudential disclosures for banks and financial brokerage companies that carries out both the CRR and the ITS prepared by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and adopted by the Commission of the European Union (known as COREP formats ) on harmonised reporting formats (Own Funds, credit and counterparty risk, market risks, operational risk, large exposures, recognition on mortgage losses, overall equity position, liquidity monitoring and leverage) and non-harmonised reporting (related parties). Other The separate financial statements are submitted for auditing by PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA to whom the Shareholders Meeting has entrusted the assignment for 2012-2020. A.2 MAIN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ITEMS 1 Held-for-trading financial assets 1.1 Classification A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it meets one of the following conditions: the asset is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the short term; the asset is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed as a unit as part of a strategy aimed at making a profit in the short term; the asset is a derivative contract but not a derivative hedging contract; Hedging contracts include those incorporated into complex financial instruments (hybrid or combined), which have to be recorded separately if they meet all the following conditions: the economic features and the risks of the incorporated derivative are not strictly correlated with those of the primary contract; even if recorded separately, the incorporated derivative has features such as to comply with the definition of a derivative contract; the hybrid instrument that incorporates the derivative is not designated at fair value with the relating changes being recorded in the income statement. 70

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The Group has classified under this item debt securities, equity securities and positive values for derivative contracts held for trading. Debt securities and equity securities not managed for trading purposes, as well as hedge derivatives are excluded from this item. 1.2 Recognition The initial recognition of assets held for trading is carried out on the settlement date for debt securities and equity securities and on the subscription date for derivatives, for a value equal to the fair value of the financial instrument without taking into consideration directly chargeable transaction costs or income, which are recorded directly in the income statement. 1.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question are designated at fair value and the changes in value are recorded in the income statement (item 80 Net result from trading). For further information on the methods for determining the fair value, reference is made to part A.4 Information on fair value qualitative information. 1.4 Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights on the cash flows arising from it expire or when it is assigned to third parties and all the risks and benefits are effectively and substantially transferred. 2 Available-for-sale financial assets 2.1 Classification Classified under this item are all the financial assets, other than derivatives, designated as such or not otherwise classified as receivables, held-to-maturity investments and held-for-trading assets. The Bank has included the following types of financial asset in this category: debt securities held for the purposes of investment and not intended for short-term trading; strategic equity investments (less than 20% of the share capital, of strategic importance from a commercial or corporate point of view); equity investments not managed for the purposes of trading and not classifiable as controlling, associated or joint ventures. 2.2 Recognition Initial recognition is carried out when the Bank becomes party to the contractual clauses of the financial instrument, which normally coincides with the settlement date. The initial recognition value is equal to the fair value of the financial instrument, which generally coincides with the related purchase cost, including the directly chargeable transaction costs or income. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those held to maturity or those held for trading and carried at fair value, in the exceptional cases in which such transfers are permitted in accordance with IAS 39, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. 71

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 2.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question continue to be designated at fair value. The interest component resulting from application of the amortised cost method, where it exists, goes to the income statement, whilst profits and losses from the change in fair value are recorded directly under shareholders equity (item 130 Valuation reserves). For further information on the methods for determining the fair value, reference is made to part A.4 Information on fair value qualitative information. When the asset is derecognised or when reasons arise for recording a loss in value, the profits and losses accumulated due to changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement. The loss in value is recorded if there is objective evidence that the recoverable value of the financial instrument is lower than its purchase value less any refunds and depreciation. Write-backs are allowed only if the reasons that determined the recording of the loss no longer apply and they are recorded up to an amount such as to attribute to the financial instrument a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost method without previous adjustments. Losses in value go to the income statement under item 130 sub-item b) Net impairment adjustments to available-for-sale financial assets. Write-backs on debt securities are recorded under the same item, whilst write-backs on equity securities are recorded under a shareholders equity reserve (item 130 Valuation reserves). Checking for the existence of conditions for recording losses in value and subsequent write-backs is carried out on the reference date for each annual account or interim position. Equity instruments for which it is not possible to reliably determine the relative fair value amount are carried at cost, except for the recording of losses of value where reasons exist. These losses of value must not, however, be reinstated in subsequent years. Impairment policy on available-for-sale financial assets Paragraph 58 of IAS 39 states that, at each reference date for the financial statements, companies must check whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered a reduction of value. In order to determine whether a financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered a reduction in value, they need to be subjected to a periodical impairment test. Indications of a possible reduction in value are, for example, the issuer experiencing significant financial difficulties, failure to fulfil obligations or missed payments of interest or capital, the possibility that the beneficiary may become subject to bankruptcy proceedings or similar proceedings and the disappearance of an active market for the asset. In accordance with paragraph 61 of IAS 39, a significant or prolonged drop in the fair value of an investment in an instrument representing capital below cost must be considered to be objective evidence of impairment. IAS 39 does not define the terms significant and prolonged but implies, partly on the basis of an IFRIC guideline, that their meaning should be left to the opinion of the directors whenever they have to draw up financial statements or an interim statement for IAS purposes, as long as the meaning is determined objectively and in a reasonable manner and complies with paragraph 61 of IAS 39. The impairment policy adopted by the Bank is consistent with that adopted by the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, and impairment testing is carried out in close collaboration with and under the leadership of the Group Finance Department. Starting with the 2009 financial statements, the Group defined as significant a drop in the market value of equity instruments classified as available for sale (AFS) of 20% compared with the initial subscription value and deemed 72

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 as prolonged a market value remaining below the initial subscription value for more than 36 months. These parameters remained unchanged in subsequent valuations until and including the 2011 interim report. At the end of the 2011 financial year, in view of the impact of the financial markets crisis on share prices, which recorded a gradual downturn combined with an increase in volatility, giving rise to doubts as to whether current prices were the best indicator of the intrinsic value of assets, the Group carried out a thorough analysis of how markets had performed over the previous decade. The results of this analysis led the Group to raise the threshold of significance of losses in value to be considered as an objective indication of impairment for equity instruments classified as available for sale from 20% to 50%. Therefore as of 31 December 2011, in the case of equity securities, all the securities to which at least one of the following conditions applied were impairment-tested: a)the market price had remained below the initial subscription value for the previous 36 months; b) the decrease in value on the accounting reference date was more than 50% of the initial subscription value. This confirmed that these securities were impaired and the total variation in fair value was recorded in the income statement and the AFS provision written off. In the case of debt securities, whenever payment of a coupon or repayment of capital is late or missed and this is confirmed by the deposit bank, the Finance Department immediately notifies the Risk Management Department of the need to carry out any write-downs. 2.4 Derecognition The same criteria already stated for assets held for trading (paragraph 1.4) apply. 3 Held-to-maturity investments 3.1 Classification Held-to-maturity investments are represented by financial instruments other than derivatives, with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed due date, which there is the intention and the ability to hold onto until maturity. The Bank has classified financial assets under this item. 3.2 Recognition Initial recognition is carried out when the Bank becomes party to the contractual clauses of the financial instrument, which normally coincides with the settlement date. The initial recognition value is equal to the fair value of the financial instrument, which generally coincides with the related purchase cost, including the directly chargeable transaction costs or income. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those available for sale, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. The Bank made no reclassifications of the kind described above. 3.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question are valued at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Profits and losses are recorded in the income statement within the space of the residual life owing to amortisation of the difference between recognition value and redeemable value upon expiry. Profits and losses recorded when these assets are eliminated or undergo impairment also go to the income statement. Held-to-maturity investments are subject to periodical auditing for the existence of losses in value. Should objective evidence of impairment arise, the amount of the loss is measured against the difference in the carrying amount of the asset and the current value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset s 73

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements original effective interest rate. Write-backs are allowed only if the reasons that determined the recording of the loss no longer apply, and they are recorded up to an amount such as to assign the financial instrument a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost without previous adjustments. 3.4 Derecognition The same criteria already stated for assets held for trading (paragraph 1.4) apply. Should a significant amount of assets classified within this category be sold or reclassified during the year, before maturity, any remaining held-to-maturity investment would be reclassified as available for sale and for two successive years it would not be possible to classify any asset within this category. This penalty does not apply if the sales or reclassifications: are so close to maturity that the fluctuations in the market rates cannot have a significant effect on the fair value of the assets; occurred after substantially all the original principal for the asset was collected as a result of scheduled or early ordinary payments; are to be attributed to an uncontrollable isolated event, which is not recurrent and cannot therefore be reasonably forecast. 4 Receivables 4.1 Classification Classified within this category are financial assets, other than derivatives, which involve fixed or determinable payments and which are not listed on an active market. The following assets are excluded from this category: receivables intended for immediate or short term sale, which must be classified under assets held for trading; receivables for which it is not possible to recover substantially all the initial investment, due to reasons other than impairment of the receivable, which must be classified under assets available for sale; receivables that, at the time they were initially recognised, may have been designated as assets at fair value, booked to the income statement, or as assets available for sale. The Bank has classified within this category all the receivables resulting from loans and/or deposit contracts with customers and the banking system. Repurchase agreements and trade receivables also fall within this category. Receivables are shown in the financial statements under items 60 Receivables from banks and 70 Receivables from customers, with the exception of trade receivables that cannot be retraced to business with customers, which are allocated to item 150 Other assets. 4.2 Recognition The initial recognition is carried out when the Bank, as creditor, acquires the right to payment of the sums contractually agreed. This time coincides with the payment date in the case of loans and the settlement date in the case of debt securities. The asset is recognised at fair value, which is generally equal to the amount paid or to the purchase price, inclusive of costs and income directly traceable to the individual asset and determinable from the start of the transaction even if settled at a later date. Charges to be paid by the debtor and the company s normal internal administrative costs are not included. In the case of loans agreed under conditions other than those of the market, the fair value is determined using special valuation techniques and the difference between this value and the amount disbursed is recorded directly in the income statement. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those held to maturity or those held for trading and carried at fair value, in the exceptional cases in which such transfers are permitted in 74

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 accordance with IAS 39, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. Loans on negotiable securities and repurchase agreements with the obligation or entitlement to repurchase/ resell are entered in the financial statements as receivables and payables and the assets temporarily transferred are not derecognised. In particular, cash sale and forward repurchase agreements are recorded as payables for the amount received in cash and, vice versa, cash purchase and forward resale agreements are recorded as receivables for the amount paid in cash. 4.3 Measurement Following initial recognition, receivables are valued at the amortised cost, which is represented by the value at which they are initially recorded net of repayments, plus or minus any difference between the initial value and the value on maturity because of depreciation calculated in accordance with the criterion of effective interest and less any reduction due to a decrease in value or non-recoverability. Application of the effective interest rate enables, according to financial logic, distribution of the financial effect of a loan transaction to be spread evenly over its expected life. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts all future cash flows of the loan and establishes a current value corresponding to the amount disbursed, including all the transaction costs and income relating to it. The estimate of cash flows and the contractual duration of the loan take into consideration all the contractual terms that can influence the amounts and the expiry dates (such as early redemptions and the various options that may be exercised), without however considering the losses expected on the loan. Following initial recognition, for the whole life of the loan the amortised cost is determined by the continued application of the effective interest rate set at the start of the operation (original interest rate). This original interest rate does not vary over time and is also used in the case of any contractual amendment to the interest rate or events that have rendered the loan unproductive (due to insolvency proceedings for example). The amortised cost method is applied only to credit arrangements with an original term of at least eighteen months, on the assumption that the application of this method for shorter-term arrangements would have a negligible effect on the economic result. Loans with a duration of less than eighteen months and those that have no fixed maturity date or are revocable are therefore valued at cost. At the reference date for each annual account or interim position, the receivables are audited to identify those which show objective evidence of a loss in value due to events that occurred after they were initially recognised. The valuation procedures differ depending on whether non-performing or performing loans are involved. Non-performing loans are considered to be those to which the status of doubtful loans, watchlist loans, restructured loans or past due loans by more than 90 days has been attributed, according to current Bank of Italy guidelines. These non-performing loans are subject to a process of cost analysis that consists of discounting (at the original effective interest rate) the expected cash flows for principal and interest, taking into account any guarantees backing the receivable. The negative difference between the current value of the loans determined in this way and its carrying amount (amortised cost) at the time of the valuation constitutes an adjustment that is entered in the income statement under item 130 sub-item a) Net impairment adjustments to receivables. The original value of the loans is reinstated in subsequent years only if the reasons that determined the recognition of the relating loss no longer apply. Write-backs are recorded up to an amount such as to assign the financial asset a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost without previous adjustments. Loans for which objective evidence of a loss has not been individually ascertained are subject to a process of collective valuation carried out by uniform credit risk categories, identified according to a matrix breakdown by customer segment and rating class assigned by the Credit Rating System (CRS) procedure of Cedacri. The value of the latent loss for each uniform category is quantified by applying the probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) calculated on analyses and estimates made available by Cedacri on the basis of a consortium. 75

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements The adjustments determined according to the collective valuation method are entered in the income statement. In subsequent periods, any additional adjustments or write-backs are determined differentially with reference to the entire portfolio of receivables valued collectively. 4.4 Derecognition The general criteria already stated for the other classification items apply. In particular, receivables sold are derecognised only if the assignment involves the substantial transfer of the risks and benefits relating to them. If this is not the case, receivables continue to be recorded in the financial statements even though their ownership has been legally transferred. It is assumed that all risks and benefits have been substantially transferred if the assignment involves the transfer of at least 90% of them. Vice versa, it is assumed that all the risks and benefits are substantially maintained if the assignment involves the transfer of no more than 10% of them. If the assignment does not substantially involve the transfer or maintenance of the risks and benefits (in the event of the Bank having retained a risks/benefits ratio of more than 10% but less than 90%), the receivables are derecognised if the Bank does not retain any type of control over them. Otherwise, the existence of control over the assigned receivables determines that they remain in the financial statements in proportion to the extent of the residual involvement. The Bank has still entered in the financial statements under this category all the receivables subject to securitisations carried out after 31 December 2003, regarding which it has essentially retained all the risks and benefits as a result of holding the junior securities issued by the SPVs. For further information on the handling of securitisations, see paragraph 17.2 below. 5 Financial assets designated at fair value 5.1 Classification Any financial asset may be designated as measured at fair value at the time it is initially recognised (so-called fair value option), except for instruments representing capital for which active market prices are not recordable and the fair value of which cannot be reliably determined. Excluded from this category are derivatives and assets that belong to the trading portfolio, for which IAS 39 envisages the obligatory application of the fair value criterion. The Bank has not classified any asset under this item. The recognition, valuation and derecognition criteria are similar to those for held-for-trading financial assets, with recording of profits and losses under the relevant item in the income statement (item 110 - Net result on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value). 6 Hedging transactions 6.1 Types of hedge According to IAS 39, hedging relationships can be of three types: a) fair value hedge: the aim is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of assets or liabilities, or part thereof, attributable to a particular risk, which could affect the income statement; b) cash flow hedge: the aim is to hedge the exposure to the variability of cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with assets or liabilities that could affect the income statement; 76

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 c) hedging of a net investment in a foreign operation: the aim is to hedge the risks of an investment in a foreign company expressed in foreign currency. Only instruments traded with a counterparty outside the company or group of companies to which the financial statements refer can be considered to be hedging instruments. A relationship is described as a hedge and has consistent accounting representation if, and only if, all the following conditions are met: at the beginning of hedge there is a designation and formal documentation of the hedging relationship, the objectives of the company in the management of the risk and the strategy in carrying out the hedging. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the hedged risk and how the company evaluates the effectiveness of the hedging instrument in offsetting the exposure to the changes in fair value of the hedged item or the cash flows attributable to the hedged risk; the hedge is expected to be highly effective; as regards the hedging of cash flows, the planned transaction subject to the hedge is highly likely and presents an exposure to the changes in cash flows that could have an effect on the income statement; the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably evaluated; the hedge is assessed on the basis of a criterion of continuity and is considered to be highly effective for all the years for which the hedge was designated. At 31 December 2014, the Bank had cash flow hedging transactions on its own floating rate bond issues and on securities entered in the portfolio of available-for-sale financial assets, as well as fair value hedging transactions on its own fixed rate bond issues. 6.2 Measurement Hedging financial derivatives, like all derivatives, are initially recognised and then measured at fair value and are classified in the asset item 80 Hedge derivatives and liability item 60 Hedge derivatives. The effects of the valuation are shown as follows: in the case of a fair value hedge: the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in the income statement and is offset by the change in fair value of the hedged item, for the quota attributable to the hedged risk, which must be entered in the income statement as a contra-entry to the recognition value of the hedged item; in the case of a cash flow hedge: the changes in fair value of the derivative are allocated to equity only for the quota of the hedge considered to be effective and are entered in the Income Statement in the year or years in which the hedged cash flows have an effect on the Income Statement or if the hedging is not effective; in the case of hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation: the same criteria envisaged for cash flow hedges apply. The effectiveness of the hedge is evaluated continuously on the reference date of each of the annual and interim financial statements. In particular, the evaluation is carried out on the basis of prospective and retrospective tests that measure the expected effectiveness of the hedging relationship and the effectiveness attained in the reference period and therefore justify the classification of the instrument as a hedging instrument. Hedging is considered to be effective when the change in fair value of the hedged instrument (or of the expected cash flows) is substantially offset by the change in the hedging instrument, in a ratio between the two variations which falls within the limits of a fixed interval of 80-125%. The accounting of the hedging is discontinued prospectively in the following cases: the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised; the hedge no longer meets the aforementioned criteria for hedge accounting; the company revokes the designation. 77

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements If the hedging relationship is no longer effective or comes to an end, the hedging derivative, if it still exists, is classified amongst held-for-trading financial instruments and the hedged instrument is evaluated according to the measurement criteria corresponding to its classification in the financial statements. If the hedged instrument is an asset or liability evaluated according to the amortised cost criterion, the difference between the carrying amount of the hedged item at the moment hedging ceases and the carrying amount it would have held if the hedge had never existed, is amortised in the income statement for the remaining life of the financial instrument. If the hedged item is sold or reimbursed, the fair value quota not amortised is recorded immediately in the income statement. If a cash flow hedge terminates or is no longer effective, profits or losses on the hedging instrument already shown in the equity must be transferred to the income statement in the year in which the cash flows originally hedged have an effect on the income statement or in the year in which it emerges that these cash flows are no longer expected. 7 Equity Investments 7.1 Classification The item includes interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, where they exist. At 31 December 2014, the Bank did not have investments in joint ventures. Companies are considered to be subsidiaries if the Bank has all of the following elements: the decision-making power to direct the relevant activities (which affect the economic returns); exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor s returns. 7.2 Recognition The initial recognition of the investment is carried out on the date of settlement, for a value equal to the purchase cost, including directly attributable costs or income. 7.3 Measurement Equity investments are valued at cost, adjusted downwards if there are losses in value. If there is evidence of impairment, the recoverable value of the investment is estimated on the basis of the current value of the future cash flows expected from it, including the final disposal value of the investment. If the recoverable value is lower than the carrying amount, the entire difference is shown as a loss in the income statement. The original value of the investments is reinstated in subsequent years only if the reasons that determined the recognition of the loss no longer apply. Write-backs are entered in the income statement. 7.4 Derecognition An investment can be derecognised only when the contractual rights on the cash flows deriving from it expire or when it is sold to third parties, effectively and substantially transferring all the risks and benefits. 78

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 8 Property, plant and equipment 8.1 Classification The item includes property used for instrumental and investment purposes, technical systems, equipment, furniture and furnishings. These are assets held for functional purposes, to be used for more than one period in the production and supply of goods and services, either for investment purposes for rental to third parties or for the appreciation of the capital invested, or for both. 8.2 Recognition Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost, inclusive of all the expenses directly attributable to their entry into operation. Non-routine maintenance costs, which include an increase in future economic benefits, are recorded as an increase in the value of the assets, whilst the ordinary maintenance costs are recorded in the income statement. 8.3 Measurement After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment including investment property are entered at cost net of depreciation and losses in value. Non-current assets with a limited useful life are systematically depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. However, non-current assets with an unlimited useful life or those with a residual value equal to or higher than their carrying amount are not depreciated. The Bank does not, therefore, depreciate artistic assets. Should objective evidence of a reduction in value emerge, the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recovery value, and is recorded in the income statement. The value of the asset must be reinstated if the reasons that determined the recognition of the loss, for an amount no higher than the value it would have had, net of the calculated amortisation, without impairments, no longer apply. 8.4 Derecognition Property, plant and equipment are derecognised at the time of disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 9 Intangible assets 9.1 Classification Intangible assets are non-monetary assets, identifiable even if they have no physical solidity, from which future economic benefits are expected. Intangible assets include goodwill and the other intangible assets governed by IAS 38. 79

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 9.2 Recognition and measurement for 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 in the unification of different companies or company operations into a single firm, obliged to draw up financial statements. The result of almost all business combinations consists in the fact that only one company, the buyer, obtains control over one or more different company activities relating to the purchase. Goodwill is not subject to amortisation but is subject to impairment testing at least once a year, generally when drafting the annual financial statements and always upon the occurrence of events that lead to the belief that the asset may have undergone a reduction in value. Any adjustments made to goodwill, even if the reasons that originated it no longer apply in subsequent years, cannot be rectified. 9.3 Recognition and measurement for other intangible assets Intangible assets other than goodwill are entered in the financial statements at purchase value, inclusive of any direct cost incurred for preparation to use them, net of accumulated amortisation and any losses in value. Intangible non-current assets are systematically amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which, for software, is estimated at an average three years. The Bank holds no intangible non-current assets with an unlimited life. Should objective evidence of a reduction in value emerge, the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recovery value, and is recorded in the income statement. The value of the asset must be reinstated if the reasons that determined the recognition of the loss, for an amount no higher than the value it would have had, net of the calculated amortisation, without impairments, no longer apply. 9.4 Derecognition An intangible asset is derecognised at the time of disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 10 Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Non-current assets or groups of assets and associated liabilities for which a disposal process has been undertaken and the sale of which is considered highly likely are included under asset item 140 and liability item 90 (Liabilities associated with assets being disposed of). They are valued at the lesser between their carrying amount and their fair value net of sale costs. Income and charges, including the effects of the valuations, for these assets/liabilities are recorded under a special item in the income statement, net of the related tax effect. 11 Current and deferred taxation Income tax is recorded in the income statement, except that relating to items charged or credited directly to shareholders equity. The financial statements include the effects of deferred tax assets and liabilities deriving from temporary differences between carrying amounts and taxable values, in order to correctly show the charges for income tax on an accrual basis, irrespective of the actual cash flow. Deferred tax assets, except for those that can be transformed set forth in Italian Law 214/2011, are recorded in the financial statements under item 130 b) deferred tax assets, insofar as there is the likelihood of producing sufficient taxable income in future years to enable their recovery. Deferred tax liabilities are recorded under item 80

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 80 b) deferred tax liabilities. The offsetting between deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities may be carried out exclusively within the scope of the individual tax and with reference to that tax year. Offsetting is not carried out unless the year in which the taxes for the changes in taxable income were relevant can be determined with certainty. Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been quantified on the basis of the rates in force for future years. Changes in the deferred tax assets and related economic effects are detailed in the relevant sections of the Notes to the Financial Statements. For the 2014 tax period, Unipol Banca SpA exited the Group tax consolidation in that the expected requirements are no longer met, pursuant to Art. 117 et sequitur of Italian Presidential Decree 917/86 and of Italian Ministerial Decree 9/6/2004, as announced on 23 January 2014 by the consolidating company Finsoe SpA. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also recognised under the tax item, calculated on the temporary differences between the annual and tax results (arising or discharged during the financial year), and on consolidation adjustments. Deferred tax assets proportionate to the extent in which such losses may be reasonably used against future IRES income are recognised in connection with tax losses before the period of validity of the tax consolidation. 12 Provisions for risks and charges The Bank does not have pension funds and similar obligations. Other provisions for risks and charges are made up of allocations relating to current, legal or implicit obligations resulting from a past event, which will probably give rise to the disbursement of economic resources, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. The allocations are made on the basis of the best possible estimate of the expenses needed to fulfil the obligations. Provisions are measured at every reporting date and adjusted in order to reflect the best current estimate. They are recognised under the income statement items, according to a logic of classification of costs by type of expense. In particular, provisions related to future personnel expenses related to long-term benefits are recorded as personnel expenses, provisions for risks and charges of a tax-related nature are recognised as income taxes, whereas provisions related to the risk of potential losses not directly attributable to specific income statement items are recorded as net provisions for risks and charges. The amount of the estimated expenses is discounted at market rates if the effect of the deferment in time is significant. The provisions are periodically scrutinised and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect the best possible estimate. If, following re-examination, the expense becomes unlikely, the allocation is reversed. An allocation is only used to cover the expenses for which it was originally recorded. 13 Payables and securities outstanding 13.1 Classification The various technical forms of customer and inter-banking system deposits and funds are classified under the items Due to banks, Due to customers and Securities outstanding, along with funds raised by issuing bonds and other Securities outstanding, net of those that may be repurchased by the Bank. Also included are the repurchase agreements and the liabilities matching assets assigned and not derecognised due to a lack of the conditions necessary for derecognition. This involves, in particular, the liabilities associated with the securitisations carried out from 1 January 2004. These liabilities (notes) are entered under Due to customers in the separate financial statements and, for the same amount, under Securities outstanding in the consolidated financial statements. 81

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 13.2 Recognition Initial recognition takes place on the date of settlement based on the fair value of the liabilities, which usually corresponds to the amount collected or the issue price, net of the directly attributable transaction costs. The mixed debt instruments connected with equity instruments, foreign currency, credit instruments or indices, are deemed to be structured instruments and recorded in the financial statements after separation of the incorporated derivative, should the conditions for this apply. The primary contract is attributed a value equal to the difference between the value collected and the fair value of the derivative separated. 13.3 Measurement After initial recognition, medium or long-term financial liabilities are entered at amortised cost based on the effective interest rate criterion. Short-term financial liabilities, on the other hand, continue to be recorded at the originally collected value, less any repayments. 13.4 Derecognition Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are paid off. The repurchase of treasury shares previously issued is assimilated to repayment and leads to derecognition of the liabilities. Any replacement on the market of repurchased treasury shares is similar to a new issue of financial instruments and is recorded in the financial statements on the basis of the new placement price. Public exchange offers relating to financial liabilities Paragraph 40 of IAS 39 envisages that an exchange of debt securities with substantially different contractual terms be carried as an extinction of the original financial liability, entering a new financial liability. As regards the definition of substantially different contractual terms, where the discounted value of cash flows according to the new terms (including any fee paid, net of any fee received and discounted in compliance with the effective original interest rate) differs by at least ten percent from the discounted value of the remaining cash flows of the original liability, paragraph AG62 of IAS 39 envisages their consideration as such. If an exchange of debt securities or a change in the terms is recorded as an extinction, any cost or fee sustained is recorded as part of the profit or loss connected with the extinction. If the exchange or amendment is not recorded as extinction, any cost or fee sustained adjusts the carrying amount of the liability and is aligned with the remaining term of the changed amended liability. In identifying the factors that can determine the presence of substantially different contractual terms, as currently accepted by best practices, qualitative factors are also taken into consideration and their presence can lead to the belief that the original liability is extinct and to the emission of a new debt security. The factors that can be used to identify the presence of such conditions include: diversity in the degree of subordination of the liabilities; diversity in the type of rate (fixed or floating); diversity in the currency in which the liability is issued; diversity in the risk profile of the liability; diversity in the lifespan of the liability. 82

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 14 Held-for-trading financial liabilities 14.1 Classification The item can include: a) derivatives that are not recorded as hedging items; b) financial liabilities issued with the intention of repurchasing them in the short term; c) financial liabilities that form part of a portfolio of financial instruments considered as a unit and for which there is evidence of an effective management strategy aimed at obtaining profit in the short term. The Bank has classified under the item only the negative values for derivatives. 14.2 Recognition, measurement and derecognition All the financial liabilities included in this category are designated at fair value both at the time they are initially recognised and later during the life of the transaction, with the result of the valuation being charged to the income statement. Unless otherwise stated, the criteria for held-for-trading financial assets apply. 15 Financial liabilities designated at fair value Following a change to IAS 39, endorsed by European Union Regulation 1864 of 15 November 2005, it is also possible to apply the so-called fair value option to financial liabilities, designating the financial liabilities at the time they are initially recorded at fair value. This possibility is allowed as long as designation at fair value makes it possible to eliminate or significantly reduce a lack of uniformity which would otherwise result from valuation of assets and liabilities using different criteria, or if a group of liabilities or financial assets/liabilities were to be managed at fair value under an investment or risk management strategy documented internally to the Management Boards. The Bank has not classified any liability under this item. The recognition, measurement and derecognition criteria are similar to those for Held-for-trading liabilities, with recognition of profits and losses in a special item in the income statement (item 110 - Net result on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value). 83

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 16 Transactions in foreign currency 16.1 Recognition Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded by applying the exchange rate current on the date of the transaction. 16.2 Measurement Periodically upon closing the financial statements and any interim positions, monetary entries in foreign currency are valued using the exchange rate current on the closing date, recognising profits and losses in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities designated at fair value are also converted using the exchange rate at the date of valuation, charging the differences to the income statement if they are available-for-sale assets/ liabilities. Non-monetary assets and liabilities entered at historic cost are, however, valued at the historical exchange rate. 17 Other information 17.1 Reclassification of financial assets As a result of the amendments to IAS 39 issued by the IASB and validated by the European Commission under EC Regulation 1004 of 15 October 2008, as of 2008 there have been other ways of reclassifying financial assets in addition to those previously allowed, which were limited to transfers between the categories of Held-tomaturity investments and Available-for-sale financial assets. The following ways of reclassifying assets are now also allowed. If a financial asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term (even though it may have been acquired or held mainly for sale or repurchase in the short term), it may be reclassified outside the fair value category booked to the income statement if the following requirements are met: the circumstances must be very unusual (par. 50B), or the asset to be reclassified would have come under the definition of loans and receivables (if it had not had to be classified as held for trading when initially recorded) and the entity has the intention and the ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or to maturity (par. 50D). A financial asset classified as available for sale that would have come under the definition of loans and receivables (if it had not been recognised as available for sale) may be reclassified from available for sale to loans and receivables if the entity has the intention and the ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or to maturity (par. 50E). If an entity reclassifies a financial asset outside of the fair value category entered in the income statement or outside of the available for sale category, it must reclassify it at its fair value on the date of reclassification and the profit or loss already recorded in the income statement must not be adjusted. The fair value of the financial asset on the date of reclassification becomes its new cost or amortised cost (par. 50C and 50F). In the case of a financial asset reclassified outside of the available for sale category, the previous profit or loss on the asset recorded in the equity directly must be amortised in the income statement throughout its remaining useful life using the effective interest criterion. 84

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 If the entity has reclassified a financial asset outside of the fair value category recorded in the income statement or outside of the available for sale category, the following is part of the information that must be provided (IFRS 7): the amount reclassified from and to each category; for each year until it is eliminated from the financial statements, the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial assets reclassified during the current and preceding year; whether a financial asset has been reclassified in accordance with paragraph 50B, however unusual the situation, along with the facts and circumstances indicating the rarity of the situation; for the year in which the financial asset was reclassified, the fair value profit or loss on the asset; for each year following reclassification of the financial asset (including the year in which it was reclassified) until it is eliminated from the financial statements, the fair value profit or loss that would have been recorded if it had not been reclassified. Until 1 November 2008, the changes to IAS 39 made it possible, on an exceptional basis, to reclassify assets retroactively from 1 July 2008. Any reclassification carried out after 1 November 2008 takes effect only as of the date on which it is carried out. For information on reclassifications of financial assets carried out by the Bank see Part A.3 Information on fair value. 17.2 Securitisations Since 2002 the Bank has carried out several securitisations under which it has assigned performing loan portfolios to vehicle companies set up for the purpose. None of the securitisations carried out meets the requirements for the assets assigned to be derecognised (reversed) since the Bank has retained almost all the risks and benefits of the assets assigned. For the operations completed after 31 December 2003 and before the transition to IAS, including the assignment of the first portfolio of receivables and the issue of the first series of notes carried out in December 2003 as part of a programme completed in the early months of 2005, the Bank has reversed the effects of the derecognition carried out by applying national accounting standards and has shown in the financial statements the economicfinancial results of the vehicles relating to the managed portfolios, eliminating the notes held in the portfolio. In the case of operations finalised after the transition to IAS, the Bank has not derecognised assets assigned and, as in the previous case, has shown in the financial statements the economic-financial results of the vehicles relating to the managed portfolios, eliminating the notes held in the portfolio. Consequently, the Bank performs the line-by-line consolidation of the separate management of the vehicle companies in its separate financial statements, as happens in the consolidated financial statements. In the case of securitisations finalised by 31 December 2003 in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 27 of IFRS 1, the Bank had maintained the effects of the derecognition carried out by 31 December 2003 under the national standards applicable at the time. This particularly affected two securitisations that were both redeemed, the first in 2007 and the second in 2008, because the option to repurchase the receivables originally assigned was exercised. The receivables repurchased were recorded in the financial statements on the basis of their fair value on the repurchase date. 17.3 Treasury shares Any treasury shares held are allocated to reduce shareholders equity. If they are subsequently resold, the difference between the sale price and the related repurchase value is allocated directly as a contra-entry to equity, net of the related tax effect. 85

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 17.4 Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits (TFR) are governed by IAS 19 Employee benefits. In particular, they fall within the category of benefits subsequent to the employment relationship, which IAS 19 distinguishes as defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. The reform of the welfare system, governed by Legislative Decree 252/05, effective as from 1 January 2007, envisages that employers in the private sector, with the exclusion of companies with less than 50 employees, must pay all of the post-employment benefits maturing, not assigned to supplementary pension schemes, to a Fund called the Fund for disbursement of post-employment benefits to employees in the private sector as stated in Art. 2120 of the Civil Code, managed by INPS on behalf of the State. This means that the contributions that matured and were due to mature after 31 December 2006 are transferred to external bodies and are entered as a cost at a sum equal to the amount due for each year. The obligation with regard to employees for the portion of post-employment benefits accrued up to 31 December 2006, entered in the financial statements as a liability, must not be transferred to external bodies, as stated in the aforementioned Decree, and was therefore quantified using actuarial techniques and updated on the reporting date by using the so-called Projected unit credit method (accrued benefit method prorated on service) Actuarial gains or losses related to the post-employment benefits are recognised as Other comprehensive income components. The discounting of future cash flows are carried out on the basis of the market yield curve, recognised at the end of the year, of corporate bonds issued by issuers of high credit standing. The service cost and net interests are recorded in the separate income statement. Net interests are calculated by applying the 1-year interest rate taken from the yield curve used for discounting the liabilities at the end of the previous financial year to the net value of the post-employment benefits at the beginning of the year. 17.5 Costs for improvements to third-party assets The costs of restructuring leased property are capitalised in consideration of the fact that, throughout the term of the leasing contract, the lessee company has control of the assets and draws future economic benefits from them. The aforementioned costs are classified under Other assets in the financial statements and not under Property, plant and equipment, in compliance with the instructions of the Bank of Italy, as these costs do not in themselves constitute identifiable and separable assets. Capitalised charges of this kind are amortised on the basis of their useful life, estimated over six years equal to the term of the leasing contract. 17.6 Guarantees issued and commitments Guarantees issued and commitments are valued analytically and collectively in a way similar to that used to evaluate receivables. The allocations aligned to the possible disbursements connected with the credit risks are recorded in the financial statements under Other liabilities in compliance with the instructions of the Bank of Italy and are offset in item 130.d) of the income statement Net impairment adjustments to other financial assets. 17.7 Revenues recognition and costs Revenues from the sale of goods or the provision of services are recorded in the financial statements at the fair value of the sum received, subject to compliance with the following terms: the company has transferred the risks and returns associated with the sale of goods or the provision of services to the buyer; the value of the income can be reliably determined; it is probable that financial returns will be received by the company. 86

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Costs and revenues will be recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the accrual principle; in particular: accrued interest income and expense is recorded using a time-based criterion that considers the actual return on the assets and liabilities; commissions are recorded according to accrual; costs are recorded in the income statement in the periods in which the associated income is recorded. Dividends are entered in the income statement in the period in which their distribution is decided. 17.8 Business combinations A business combination consists of the unification of separate companies or company activities in a single subject required to draw up financial statements. A merger can create an investment link between the Parent Company that is buying and the subsidiary that is bought. Under these circumstances, the buyer applies IFRS 3 (Business combinations) in the consolidated financial statements, while it records the interest acquired as an investment in a subsidiary in the separate financial statements, applying IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. A merger can also envisage the purchase of the net assets of another entity, including any goodwill, or the purchase of the capital of another entity (mergers, grants, acquisitions of business branches). This type of merger does not translate into the same kind of relationship as that between parent and subsidiary and, therefore, IFRS 3 applies, also in the buyer s separate financial statements. On the basis of the provisions of IFRS 3, business combinations have to be recorded applying the purchase method that envisages the following phases: identification of the buyer; determination of the business combination cost; and allocation, on the acquisition date, of the business combination cost to the assets acquired and to the liabilities, including the contingent liabilities undertaken. Business combinations between jointly controlled entities Business combinations between parties subject to joint control do not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 3 (Business combinations). In the absence of references to specific IFRS standards or interpretations for such operations, reference is made to Assirevi OPI 1 Accounts of the business combination of entities under common control in the financial statements and in the consolidated financial statements, which highlights, in general terms, that the financial statements have to provide a reliable portrayal of the transactions, stating the economic substance. Assirevi OPI 1, therefore, states that, for transactions without significant influence of the future cash flows of the net assets transferred, the standard applicable is that of the continuity of the values. The application of the continuity of values gives rise to the recognition in the statement of financial position of the separate financial statements of values equal to those that would result if the companies being combined had always been merged. In substance, the net assets of the acquired entity and of the acquiring entity must be recognised at their carrying amounts that they had in the respective accounts before the transaction. With respect to these considerations it is, therefore, possible to identify two kinds of transactions and different accounting methods: transactions with a significant influence on future cash flows; these transactions are recorded at their fair value, which corresponds to the sum exchanged. Any difference between the prices of the transaction and the carrying amount is entered in the income statement; transactions without a significant influence on future cash flows; these transactions are recorded on the basis of the continuity of values. In this case, applying the continuity of values, the company recorded values on the Statement of financial position equal to those that would result if the companies subject to merger had always been joined. The net assets of the entity acquired and of the acquiring entity were, therefore, recorded at the carrying amounts that they had in the respective accounts before the transaction. If the transfer values are higher than the historic values, the excess must be reversed, reducing the shareholders equity of the acquiring company, with the recording of a special reserve in its financial statements. 87

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements A.3 Information on Transfers between Portfolios of Financial Assets This paragraph provides the information required by IFRS 7 when financial assets have been reclassified during the current year or previous years for as long as the asset is recorded under assets. As a result of the liquidity crisis in the financial markets in autumn 2008, the Bank transferred debt securities with a total value of 253,732k from the category of heldfortrading assets, effective from 1 July 2008, 245,506k being reclassified as loans and receivables and 8,226k as available-for-sale financial assets. An additional 8,216k was reclassified in this last category from the company Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese SpA, merged by incorporation into Unipol Banca SpA with tax and accounting effects from 1 January 2013. The table below shows the carrying amounts and the fair value of the securities reclassified and still in the portfolio and the effects on comprehensive income. A.3.1 Reclassified financial assets: carrying amount, fair value and effects on comprehensive income Type of financial instrument (1) Portfolio of origin (2) Target portfolio (3) Carrying amount at Fair value at 31/12/2014 (4) 31/12/2014 (5) Income components without transfer (before tax) Income components recorded in the year (before tax) Measured (⁶) Other (⁷) Measured (⁸) Other (⁹) Debt securities Held-for-trading financial assets Available-forsale financial assets - - - - - - Debt securities Held-for-trading financial assets Receivables from Banks 7,717 6,343 (1,365) 165-262 Debt securities Held-for-trading financial assets Receivables from customers - - - - - - The valuation elements in the columns relating to income components without transfer (before tax) include the results of the valuations that would have been recorded in the income statement for the year or in the equity if the transfer had not taken place and the other elements include other types of charge and income relating to the reclassified assets (interest and profits/losses arising from disposal and reimbursement). The columns relating to income components recorded during the year (before tax) show the income components that were actually recorded in the income statement or in the shareholders equity.

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 A.4 Information On Fair Value Qualitative information A.4.1 Levels of fair value 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used Regulation no. 1255/2012 approved IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which was effective as from 1 January 2013. IFRS 13 provides guidance on how to measure the fair value of financial instruments and of non-financial assets and liabilities already requested or allowed by the other IFRS accounting standards. This standard: defines fair value; sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value; requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction or the price paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction in the main market of reference under the current conditions at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction related to the sale of the assets or to the transfer of the liabilities may occur: in the main listing market; in the absence of the main listing market, the most advantageous market for the assets and liabilities to be measured. When a market price is unobservable, an entity is required to mainly use valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The IFRS 13 standard defines also a fair value hierarchy depending on the degree of observability of the inputs contained in the valuation techniques used for determining the fair value. The IFRS 13 accounting standard governs the fair value measurement and the relevant disclosure also for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position. For these assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated for the purposes of disclosure in the financial statements. Moreover, since these assets and liabilities are not traded in general, the calculation of their fair value is mainly based on the use of internal inputs not directly observable on the market, with the sole exception of listed securities classified as Held-to-maturity investments. 89

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements Fair value measurement standards The following table shows briefly the methods for calculating the fair value for the different macro categories of financial instruments, loans and properties. Financial Instruments Bonds Shares and listed equality inv., ETF Shares and unlisted equity investments Listed derivatives OTC derivatives UCITS Mark to Market Contributor CBBT - Bloomberg Other contributor - Bloomberg Reference market Reference market Net Asset Value Mark to Model and other Mark to Model Counterparty valuation DCF DDM Multiples Mark to Model Receivables Property Receiv, from cust, (Mark to Model) Assessment value In compliance with the IFRS 13 standard, in order to calculate the fair value of the financial instruments, in the presence of instruments dealt with in a liquid and active market, the market price is used (Mark to Market). Liquid and active market means: a) the regulated market where the instrument to be measured is traded and regularly listed; b) the multilateral trading system (MTF, mercato telematico dei fondi - electronic funds market) where the instrument to be measured is traded or regularly listed; c) the pricing and transactions carried out on a regular basis or with transactions at high frequency and with low bid / offer spread, by an authorised intermediary (hereinafter contributor ). In the absence of availability of prices on a liquid and active market, valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs are used. These methods are summarised in mark-to-model valuations, valuations by the counterparty or carrying amount valuations with regard to certain categories of non-financial assets. Mark to Market valuations With reference to shares, listed equity investments, ETFs and listed derivatives, the Mark to Market valuation corresponds to the official valuation price of the reference market. With reference to bonds, the sources used for the Mark to Market valuation of financial assets and liabilities are set below: a) The primary source is represented by the CBBT price provided by the data provider Bloomberg; b) if the price in the previous point is not available, the validated internal scoring model is used: it allows to select the liquid and active contributors on the basis of some defined parameters. With reference to UCITS, the source used is the Net Asset Value. 90

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Mark to Model valuations The valuation methods (Mark to Model) used by the Group are in line with the methods generally used by the market. The objective of the models for the fair value measurement is to obtain a value for the financial instrument that complies with the assumptions that the market participants would use when formulating a price, assumptions that also concern the risk implicit in a particular valuation technique and/or in the inputs used. For correct Mark to Model valuation of each instrument category, appropriate and consistent valuation models as well as the parameters of the reference market need to be defined in advance. The list of the main models used within the Unipol Group for the Mark to Model pricing related to financial instruments is set below: Securities and derivatives on interest rates Discounted cash flows; Black; Black-Derman-Toy; Hull & White 1,2 factors; Libor Market Model; Longstaff & Schwartz; Kirk. Securities and derivatives on inflation Discounted cash flows; Jarrow-Yildirim. Securities and derivatives on shares, indexes and exchange rates Discounted cash flows; Black Scholes. Securities and credit derivatives Discounted cash flows; Hazard rate models. The main observable market parameters used for carrying out the Mark to Model valuations are set below: interest rate curve by currency of reference interest-rate volatility surfaces by currency of reference; CDS spread or Asset Swap spread curves of the issuer; inflation curve by currency of reference; foreign exchange rates of reference; exchange-rate volatility surfaces; volatility surfaces on shares or indexes; reference prices of shares; inflation curve of reference. The main unobservable market parameters used for carrying out the Mark to Model valuations are set below: correlation matrixes between exchange rate and risk factor; historical volatility; curve spread benchmarks constructed for measuring bond instruments of issuers for which no prices of the bonds issued or CDS curves are available; credit risk parameters such as the recovery rate; delinquency or default rates and prepayment curves for ABS financial instruments. 91

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements With reference to the bonds, where it is not possible, also on the basis of the results of the Scoring Model, to measure an instrument with the Mark to Market model, the fair value is assigned based on the Mark to Model valuations. Based on the characteristics of the instrument, different valuation models indicated above are used. With reference to OTC derivatives, models consistent with the risk factor underlying the contract itself are used. The fair value of interest-rate OTC derivatives and inflation-linked OTC derivatives is measured on the basis of Mark to Model valuations implementing the rules provided by IFRS 13. As regards to OTC derivatives on which a collateralisation agreement is envisaged (Credit Support Annex) between the companies of the Unipol Group and the authorised market counterparties, the EONIA (Euro OverNight Index Average) discount curve can be used. In the case of non-collateralised derivatives, CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) and DVA (Debit Valuation Adjustment) adjustments can be used. On 31 December 2014, all the positions existing on derivatives referred to collateralised contracts for which CSA agreements exist between the traded counterparties. With reference to unlisted shares and equity investments for which there is no market price or assessment drawn up by an independent expert, the valuations are mainly carried out on the basis of (i) capital ratios, (ii) methods that consider the discounting of income flows or financial flows such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) or Dividend Discount Model (DDM) in the version called excess capital, (iii) or applicable methods based on market multiples. With reference to unlisted UCITS, Private Equity and Hedge Funds, the fair value is expressed as the Net Asset Value at the reporting date provided directly by the directors of the funds. With reference to receivables from banking customer portfolio, the fair value is assigned based on Mark to Model valuations using the Discounted Cash Flow method with a discount rate adjusted to the counterparty and transaction risk. For the other receivables, the Carrying amount is used. With reference to property, the fair value measurement is measured depending on assessment value calculated by the independent surveyors consistent with the provisions of the current legislation. Valuations by the Counterparty Financial assets and liabilities that do not fall under the instruments Mark to Market valued and for which there are no consistent valuation models validated for the purposes of fair value measurement are measured on the basis of the valuations provided by the counterparties that can be consulted for the liquidation of the position. Fair Value measurement on a recurring basis Process for fair value measurement on a recurring basis The valuation of the financial instruments is preparatory to the monitoring of the risk, to the integrated management of assets and liabilities and the preparation of separate financial statements. The fair value measurement on a recurring basis of the financial instruments is broken down in different phases and is carried out by the Risk Management Department on the basis of measurement criteria defined in the previous paragraph. Fair Value measurement on a recurring basis by means of unobservable parameters (Level 3) In the level 3 classification of financial assets and liabilities, a prudential approach is followed; this category mainly includes the following types of financial instruments: unlisted equity securities or investments for which there is no market price or assessment drawn up by an independent expert; the valuations are carried out on the basis of the previously indicated methods; 92

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 units of private equity funds, hedge funds and unlisted UCITS for which the information related to financial instruments held in the relevant portfolios is not available and that as such could include financial instruments assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters; bonds assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (correlations, curve spread benchmark, recovery rate); bonds assessed with price from counterparty at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters; ABS bonds for which a Mark to Market measurement is not available; derivative instruments assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (correlations, volatility, estimates of dividends); bonds that do not meet the requirements defined in the scoring test (see paragraph Mark to Market Valuations ) and for which a Mark to Model valuation is not possible. Fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis and in compliance with disclosure requirements of other principles Consistent with the accounting standard IFRS 13, the fair value is measured also for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position and when the information on fair value must be provided in the additional information notes in accordance with other international accounting standards. Since these assets and liabilities are not traded in general, the calculation of their fair value is mainly based on the use of internal inputs not directly observable on the market. This category mainly includes the following types of instruments: bond issues measured at Mark to Market (level 1); bond issues and loans assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (curve spread benchmark) (level 3); short-term payables with a duration of less than 18 months and Certificates of deposit measured at amortised cost (level 3); receivables from customers measured according to the following principles (level 3): -- receivables with a duration of more than 18 months (MLT receivables) valued at Mark to Model with a discounting method of cash flows for the principal and interest component. For MLT receivables, the discount rate used depends on the risk free rate plus a risk premium determined on the operation by means of the Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) parameters. These parameters are obtained from the Cedacri Credit Rating System (CRS) application and were estimated on the basis of a consortium. The cumulated probabilities of default (PD) are calculated through the application of a Markovian process to the one-year transition matrixes, whereas the LGD is considered constant throughout the time horizon; -- non-performing loans valued at amortised cost net of analytical valuations; -- receivables with a duration of less than 18 months measured at amortised cost; other receivables measured at carrying amount (level 3); investment property measured depending on assessment value calculated by the independent surveyors consistent with the provisions of the current legislation. The logic of assignment of the survey mandates contemplates a non-exclusive assignment of assets and a three-year rotation in the assignment of surveyors. A.4.2 Processes and sensitivity of measurements With reference to assets designated at fair value on a recurring basis and belonging to Level 3, the stress on non-observable parameters is carried out with reference to financial instruments valued at Mark to Model and on which the valuation is carried out through one or more non-observable parameters. On 31 December 2014, the portion of financial assets designated on a recurring basis and belonging to Level 3 amounted to 83.8m. 84% of this portfolio consists of unlisted equity securities and UCITS that were not subject to stress on unobservable inputs. The remaining portion of 16% consists of unlisted bonds that are characterised by a sensitivity irrelevant to unobservable inputs. 93

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements A.4.3 Fair Value hierarchy Assets and liabilities designated at fair value are classified on the basis of the hierarchy defined by the IFRS 13 accounting standard. The aim of this classification is to establish a fair value hierarchy depending on the degree of discretion used, giving priority to the use of parameters observable on the market in that able to reproduce the assumptions that the market participants would use when pricing the assets and liabilities. The classification is based on the criterion used for measuring the fair value, (Mark to Market, Mark to Model, Counterparty) and on the observability of the parameters used, in the case of Mark to Model valuation. Level 1: this category includes the assets and liabilities valued at Mark to Market with source the CBBT price and the prices from the contributor having the minimum requirements that guarantee that such prices are executable on active markets; Level 2: this category includes the assets and liabilities valued at Mark to Market but that cannot be classified under the previous category and the assets whose fair value is measured by a consistent pricing model supported by parameters observable on the market; Level 3: this category includes the assets and liabilities for which the estimate variability of the pricing model can be significant because of the complexity of the payoff or, if a consistent and validated model is available, the parameters required for the valuation are unobservable. Moreover, this category includes the bonds that do not meet the requirements defined in the scoring test (see paragraph Mark to Market Valuations ) and for which a Mark to Model valuation is not possible. Finally, this category also includes receivables and investment property. A.4.4 Other information On the reporting date, there was no information to be reported pursuant to IFRS 13, paragraphs 51, 93 letter (i) and 96. 94

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Part E Information On Risks And Related Hedging Policies Foreword Unipol Banca SpA s Risk Management department is part of the broader internal control and risk management system that operates on three levels: line checks (assigned to the operational units); controls on risks and on compliance (Risk Management, Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering, etc); Internal Audit. The Internal control and risk management system is an essential element of the corporate governance as a whole; it comprises a set of rules, procedures and organisational structures that aim at ensuring: efficiency and effectiveness of business processes; adequate control of current and future risks; prevention of the risk that the company is involved, even unintentionally, in illegal activities with particular reference to those related to money laundering, usury and terrorist financing: monitoring the implementation of strategies and corporate policies; safeguarding of company assets and the good management of that held on behalf of customers; reliability and integrity of accounting and management information and IT procedures; the adequacy and timeliness of the reporting system of corporate information; the compliance of the activity of the company and of transactions put in place on behalf of customers with the law, supervisory regulations, self-regulations and internal provisions of the company. This system is an integral part of the company and permeates all its sectors and structures, involving all resources, each by level of competence and responsibility, in order to ensure a constant and effective supervision of risks. Within the scope of the internal control and risk management system, Unipol Banca has set up a risk management system that allows adequate understanding of the nature and importance of the risks to which the Company is exposed and allows to have a single point of view and a holistic approach to risk management, which is an integral part of business management. The risk management process defined within the System of risk management involves the following stages: identification of risks, current and future assessment of risk exposure, monitoring of risk exposure and mitigation of risks. These stages are carried out on a continuous basis to take account both of the changes that have occurred to the nature and size of the business and to the market context, and of the onset of new risks or the change in existing risks. An important component of the risk management system is represented by management policies of specific risks. These policies establish the adequate guidelines for the direction of the identification, assessment, monitoring and mitigation of risks and the operating limits in line with the defined Risk Appetite. The Risk Management Department of Unipol Banca is part of Unipol Banca s Head Office and reports to the Risk Management Department of the Parent Company, UGF SpA. As part of the risk governance role, the head of the Bank s Risk Management Department is in constant contact with the Risk Management Department of the Parent Company, UGF and with the other departments of Unipol Banca and the subsidiaries, in order to ensure that risk management policies and risk governance are applied uniformly and consistently at Group level. Moreover, the Risk Management department: is involved in defining the RAF, risk controlling policies and the different phases that form their management process as well as fixing the operating limits to the assumption of various types of risk; verifies the adequacy of the RAF; verifies continuously the adequacy of the management process of risks and operating limits; monitors the development, validation and maintenance of risk measurement and control systems ensuring that they are subject to regular backtesting, that an appropriate number of scenarios are analysed and that conservative assumptions on branches and on correlations are used; ensures the consistency of risk measurement and control systems with processes and valuation techniques of company activities, in coordination with other company departments concerned; develops and applies indicators that are able to highlight situations of failure and inefficiency of the risk measurement and control systems; 151

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements analyses the risks of new products and services and those deriving from the entry in new operating and market segments; expresses opinions in advance on the compliance with RAF of most significant transactions, by acquiring, if possible, depending on the type of operation, the opinion of other departments involved in the risk management process; monitors constantly the actual risk assumed by the Company and its compliance with the risk objectives as well as the compliance with the operating limits assigned to the operating structures in relation to the assumption of various types of risk; verifies proper execution of performance scoring on individual exposures; checks the adequacy and efficacy of the measures adopted to remedy the shortfalls noted in the risk management process; prepares the reporting for the managers of the operating structures, company committees and for the Board of Directors, relating to the monitoring of the risks and limits defined in the risk-taking and risk management policies. For the purposes of disseminating the culture of risk, the continuous comparison with the Management and with each Business unit has a key role, also by participating directly to different company committees in addition to the adoption of taxonomies common to other control structures. In particular, the bank completed the structure of the joint database with the support of the MEGA GRC platform that will make it possible to give a common focus to the risk management and control system with the other control governance and Organisation and Operations departments. Moreover, business processes will be gradually mapped with the support of the joint database. The structured activity of adequacy assessment of the risk assumption and management process was carried out on an annual basis during ICAAP, whose purpose is to raise awareness on the governance of relevant risks. Moreover, the Risk Self Assessment process (hereinafter RSA) carried out for the purposes of assessment of operating risks, due to its nature, places the interlocutors, responsible for business and administrative processes, in front of the risks of their activities disseminating the culture of risk itself given the pervasiveness of operational risk. The activity of RSA in Unipol Banca is implemented in meetings with different risk owners of Unipol Banca and with the Chief Executive Officer of the subsidiary companies for the assessment of operational risks in terms of frequency, impact and the worst case. Section 1 credit risk Qualitative information 1. General aspects The following events characterised 2014: maintenance in line with previous years of attention on the quality of the Bank s loan portfolio, both with regard to granting, completion/acquisition of guarantees and with regard to monitoring; adoption of the risk parameters of the PD and LGD models for the calculation of the collective write-downs of performing loans. 2. Credit risk management policies 2.1 Organisational aspects Further refinement of the IT tools for managing the lending procedure made available by the IT outsourcer CEDACRI as part of a continuous procedure of improvement of the process itself. As regards the management of the Bank s loan portfolio quality and particularly the monitoring, use of the monitoring procedure was further consolidated and implemented and the credit management process as from the first anomalies was further improved. In particular, a further response to Credit Monitoring (of Management and Area), a pronounced separation - also in Areas - of granting and monitoring activities is contemplated. 152

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 2.2 Management, measuring and monitoring systems Credit risk is governed by the principles defined in the Credit Policy Group: this document defines, in particular, the guidelines for the taking and monitoring of the credit risk in order to ensure global exposure to the individual counterparty, in line with the risk appetite expressed in the Group s strategic objectives, guaranteeing adequate diversification of the portfolio. The Credit Policy defines: the types of customer and transaction deemed suitable for granting credit, also in line with the criteria set out in the sustainability report of the Unipol Group; the general principles with which the credit risk underwriting policy must comply can be summarised as follows: -- reduction of the weight of large concentrations on single counterparties, groups or sectors, or on high risk counterparties based on internal rating models; -- development of banking and insurance business with the SME and retail segments, which prioritises the granting of traditional credit facilities; the main roles and duties of the organisational structures, to ensure observance of the provisions of the Credit Policy; the roles and responsibilities in the risk monitoring process at Group level, i.e. of the Board of Directors, which is required to approve the general guidelines of the process, and those of the Executive Committee, the Group Credit Risk Committee and the Risk Management Department, and their relations with the various structures of the individual Group companies; the functions of the Group Credit Risk Committee, paying particular attention to its responsibility for monitoring major exposures, reporting to Senior Management and suggesting possible risk mitigation actions. The trend in credit risk is currently monitored using traditional indicators, paying particular attention to the largest debts and to the sectors of greatest concentration. The credit rating models for companies and private customers developed by the IT outsourcer CEDACRI with the support of the consulting company Prometeia, were used to measure the credit risk in 2014. The previous rating models supplied by the same outsourcer continued to be used for some residual segments. Finally, together with the retail counterparty rating, the CRIF scoring systems were used during the disbursement. 2.3 Credit risk mitigation techniques Lending focused on traditional transactions in 2014, with the emphasis being placed on SME/small business counterparties. For private customers, as in previous years new transactions mainly concerned home mortgages. Corporate loans were granted mainly in support of manufacturing cycles (releasing credit). General debt rescheduling transactions were confirmed as particularly important during 2014, largely due to the on-going economic crisis affecting most sectors, particularly property. As regards risk mitigation techniques, the Bank used traditional forms of guarantee recognised by the sector (mortgage guarantees, repossession guarantees and sureties), including CONFIDI guarantees. In order to reduce the Residual Risk, mortgage guarantees and actions to monitor them are particularly important. To this end, the prudential regulatory provisions for banks (Bank of Italy Circular 285) have been implemented. The fluctuation in the values of the financial instruments used to guarantee lines of credit granted (mainly government bonds, bonds issued by the Bank and policies) is being monitored. 153

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements 2.4 Non-performing financial assets The Bank classifies receivables on the basis of regulatory provisions issued by the Bank of Italy in line with the International Accounting Standards. In particular, the Bank included the following customers in the definition and quantification of its non-performing portfolio: a) those in a state of insolvency (even if this has not been legally ascertained) or in similar situations (doubtful loans); b) those in temporary objective difficulty (watchlist loans) or persistently in arrears, as established by the Supervisory Instructions in relation to particular technical forms of loan (objective watchlist loans); c) those subject to debt-restructuring agreements, following a deterioration in the economic-financial conditions of the counterparty (restructured loans); d) those with past due loans as defined by law (past due loans and objective watchlist loans). The management of critical positions was reinforced with the organisational implementations already mentioned above. In addition to managing the non-performing portfolio, organisational efforts focused on prevention, trying to identify (and resolve) anomalies as soon as they arise in order to protect the Bank s credit ratios. 154

C. Securitisations C.1 Securitisations Qualitative information In the period from 2001 to 2012, the Bank carried out a total of eight performing loan securitisations, all arising from loans granted independently, where the first two had already been fully paid off in 2007-2008. The operation carried out in 2012 is excluded from this section in that it is defined as a self-securitisation, under the supervisory regulations issued by the Bank of Italy and carried out after 30 November 2008, since the bank subscribed, at the time they were issued, and still holds at the close of the year all the ABS securities issued by the vehicle company; its main features will be summarised at the end of this section. The operations carried out in 2009 and 2011, included initially in this last category, became part of this section as a result of the assignment to third parties of the ABS securities fully subscribed at the time they were issued by the Bank. While on the subject of these regulations, it should be mentioned that the fifth securitisation, under which the bank also subscribed all the ABS securities at the time they were issued by the vehicle company, was carried out by the deadline of 30 November 2008 and under Bank of Italy provisions is therefore classified as a grandfathered self-securitisation and dealt with in this section. The transactions were carried out with a view to diversifying types of funding, improving the correlation between customer deposits and loan maturities. In all transactions, also other than self-securitisations, Unipol Banca SpA has always subscribed and still holds all the junior notes issued under the various securitisation programmes and not yet repaid. Thus the risk relating to the assets assigned remains with the Bank which, as servicer, will regularly monitor performance and provide reports. In addition to the junior notes, the Bank also holds some of the higher-priority notes (senior and mezzanine, if any) that were not placed on the market at the time of issue or were subsequently repurchased. At the same time, we provide also the situation of the ratings assigned by the various agencies to the ABS securities, compared to the original, almost everywhere unchanged compared to the previous financial year. As already indicated in Part A Accounting Policies, in the case of operations still in existence, all completed after 31 December 2003, the assets assigned continued to appear in the financial statements, as essentially the risk was not transferred to third parties. There follows a descriptive analysis of each of the operations still in existence during 2014. 166

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 1. Securitisation scheme carried out through Grecale ABS Srl, launched in December 2003 issue on the market in April 2005 following repackaging through Castoro RMBS Srl (Grecale ABS Securitisation 2) In December 2003 a securitisation scheme was signed in which the maximum amount of securities to be issued totalled 750m and which was to be carried out within an initial warehousing period of one year, which was then extended until April 2005. Under this scheme, organised in collaboration with ABN AMRO N.V. acting as arranger and with Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese SpA as co-arranger, three assignments of receivables were made, funded by Grecale ABS issuing three series of securities, divided into only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. Assignments of receivables after the first assignment have been partly financed, up to the available amount, with principal funds derived from the income collected from receivables previously assigned. All assignments of receivables carried out in the warehousing period form a single portfolio in the interests of the holders of the securities issued, according to the priorities set between the various classes of securities but with no differentiation between the various series of securities within the same class. The receivables assigned come from performing residential mortgage loans issued by Unipol Banca, also as a result of acquisition of branches from other banks, granted to private customers residing in Italy (North Italy 51%, Central Italy 32% Southern Italy and Islands 17%), secured by first degree or equivalent mortgages, with a ratio between residual debt and property value as determined by an expert valuation of no more than 80%. Overall receivables with a total principal value of 678,084k were assigned for 727,004k. Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec, 2 Year 2003 Year 2004 Amount Assignment price - principal 270,693 407,391 678,084 Assignment price - interest 569 431 1,000 Assignment price - premium 20,302 27,618 47,920 Total 291,564 435,440 727,004 Grecale ABS financed the purchase by issuing two classes of securities, split into three series, with a total nominal value equal to the amount of the receivables, net of the funds available from receipts of collections from the mortgages. The following table summarises the main characteristics of the securities issued.

In April 2005, all the securities issued by Grecale ABS were transferred to the SPV Castoro RMBS Srl, which funded the purchase by issuing three classes, were repackaged. The following table shows the main features of the securities issued by Castoro RMBS. 167

Unipol Banca subscribed the entire amount of junior notes (Class C) after transferring to Castoro RMBS the junior notes issued by Grecale ABS. Unipol Banca subsequently purchased Class B notes issued by Castoro for a nominal value of 4m, as well as Class A notes issued by Castoro for a nominal value (on issue) of 35m; the Class A notes already repaid at the close of the year were approximately 90% of their nominal value on issue as seen in the table below. The three classes of securities feature increasing degrees of subordination, with absolute preference in favour of the Class A securities, on which principal repayment began in October 2006. The residual value to be repaid on the Castoro notes is set out below: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 622,500 87,743 62,854 Class B notes 26,000 26,000 26,000 Class C notes 51,678 51,678 51,678 Total 700,178 165,421 140,532 The transaction as a whole is a pass through type, the entire mortgage loan portfolio of Grecale ABS is collateral for the holders of securities issued by Castoro and all the inward cash flows of Grecale ABS are transferred to Castoro RMBS separately for the principal and interest portions. RBS (which took over the activities of ABN AMRO Bank) puts at the disposal of the Castoro vehicle a line of liquidity of an amount initially totalling 19.5m; to date, this line has decreased, according to the decrease of the residual value of the Notes to be redeemed, to the minimum amount of 9.7m and has never been used. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting Castoro. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contract, the SPV receives from the counterparty 3-month Euribor and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 3.75%, 6-month Euribor + 3bps and 3-month Euribor on notional amounts corresponding to the portion of the mortgage loan portfolio indexed to these parameters. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. In 2014, the securitisation recorded that one of the trigger events envisaged in the regulations, relating to the percentage ratio between the delinquent loans and the residual loan amount, had been exceeded; this event caused a suspension of the payment, but not the accrual, of interest on the class C junior notes, producing also a movement of flows from the interest to the principal, which will help speed up the process of redeeming the senior notes. 168

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 2. Securitisation scheme carried out through Grecale ABS Srl launched in December 2004 issue on the market in May 2006 following repackaging through Atlante Finance Srl (Grecale ABS Securitisation 3) In December 2004, another securitisation scheme was launched, in which the initial maximum amount of securities to be issued totalled 1,050m, later raised to 1,700m, to be completed within a one-year warehousing period expiring in December 2005, later extended to May 2006. During this scheme, organised in collaboration with ABN AMRO N.V. as arranger and Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese SpA and Nomura International plc as co-arrangers, five assignments of receivables were made, funded by Grecale ABS by issuing several series of notes, divided into only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. Assignments of receivables after the first assignment have been partly financed, up to the available amount, with principal funds derived from the income collected from receivables previously assigned. All assignments of receivables carried out in the warehousing period form a single portfolio in the interests of the holders of the securities issued, according to the priorities set between the various classes of securities but with no differentiation between the various series of securities within the same class. The receivables assigned come from performing residential loans, granted to private customers (34%) and non-residential mortgage loans (Commercial 46%; SME 17%), and from loans other than mortgage loans to public bodies (3%), issued by Unipol Banca, also as a result of acquisition of branches from other banks, granted to persons residing in Italy (North Italy 54%, Central Italy 28% Southern Italy and Islands 18%), secured (with the sole exception of loans to public bodies) by first degree or equivalent mortgages, with a ratio between residual debt and property value as determined by an expert valuation of no more than 80%. Summarised below are the amounts of the assignments made: Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 3 Year 2004 Year 2005 Amount Assignment price - principal 570,810 965,752 1,536,562 Assignment price - interest 2,856 1,362 4,218 Assignment price - premium 28,541 57,945 86,486 Total 602,207 1,025,059 1,627,266 Five assignments of receivables were completed, the first taking place in December 2004 and the rest during 2005. Grecale ABS funded the purchase by issuing two classes of securities, divided into five series, for an aggregate nominal value equal to the amount of the loans net of available funds deriving from loan proceeds. The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS. Securities issued by Grecale ABS Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Rating Nominal amount Senior 28/01/2047 3m Euribor + 40b.p. n/r 1,358,000 Junior 28/01/2047 1% fisso n/r 158,150 Total 1,516,150 169

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements During the warehousing period the senior notes were subscribed through private placement by an independent SPV (Tulip Asset Purchase Company B.V. registered in Amsterdam) and the junior notes were subscribed by Unipol Banca. In May 2006, all the securities issued by Grecale ABS that were assigned to the SPV Atlante Finance Srl, which funded the purchase by issuing four classes of notes, were repackaged. The following table shows the main features of the securities issued by Atlante Finance.

Unipol Banca subscribed the entire amount of Junior notes (Class D) after transferring to Atlante Finance the junior notes issued by Grecale ABS. The Group also subscribed a portion of the Class C mezzanine notes for a nominal value of 21m and repurchased all in all Class C notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 70m. Moreover, Unipol Banca has guarantees issued to third parties over 40m of nominal value of Class C notes, originally subscribed by the former subsidiary Unipol Merchant and subsequently transferred to parties, secured by money-back guarantee of the repayment of the principal by Unipol Banca. By effect of this guarantee the risk is not transferred to third parties with respect to the Group; consequently, in the financial statements, as a result of the merger of Unipol Merchant into Unipol Banca, the effects of the derecognition applied in the individual financial statements of the former subsidiary Unipol Merchant were always reversed and the equivalent value collected, including capital gains accrued to future years, was recognised under the item payables to customers. As regards the capital gain on the assignment, amounting to 4,680k, corresponding to the excess spread anticipated on the securities assigned with respect to the normal return on substantially free risk securities, it should be noted that it is recognised pro rata temporis under interest income in the income statement during the average anticipated life of the securities assigned. The total income recognised at 31 December 2012 was 2,136k; due to the merger by incorporation of Unipol Merchant into Unipol Banca, income deferred to future years at 1 January 2013, amounting to 2,544k, were recognised pro rata temporis by the latter; In fact, Unipol Banca recorded on the merger date a shareholders equity reserve equal to the total value of the income still to be recognised net of the deferred tax effect; gross income of 347k were recognised in 2014. The Bank repurchased Class A notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 400.6m; the Class A notes already repaid at the close of the year were more than 96% of their nominal value on issue as seen in the table below. Finally, the Bank repurchased Class A notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 6.8m at the time of issue. The four classes of notes are characterised by growing levels of subordination, with absolute priority in favour of the Class A notes, with repayment of the principal having started in January 2008. 170

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The residual value to be repaid on the Atlante notes is set out below: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 1,202,500 125,103 42,446 Class B notes 28,800 28,800 28,800 Class C notes 136,800 136,800 136,800 Class D notes 152,250 152,250 152,250 Total 1,520,350 442,953 360,296 The transaction as a whole is a pass through type: the entire mortgage loan portfolio of Grecale ABS is collateral for the holders of securities issued by Atlante Finance and all the inward cash flows of Grecale ABS are transferred to Atlante Finance separately for the principal and interest portions. RBS (that took over the activities of ABN AMRO Bank) provided the SPV Atlante with a credit facility initially totalling 110.8m, now reduced, as a result of the fall in the residual value of the notes to be refunded, to 63.8m and never used. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting Atlante. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contract, the SPV receives from the counterparty 3-month Euribor and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 4.32%, 6-month Euribor + 27.25bps and 3-month Euribor +31.5bps on notional amounts corresponding to the portion of the loan portfolio indexed to these parameters. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. In 2009, the securitisation recorded that one of the trigger events envisaged in the regulations, relating to the percentage ratio between the delinquent loans (with instalment payments in arrears by between 30 and 180 days) and the residual loan amount, had been exceeded; this event is focused on the commercial positions and caused a suspension of the payment, but not the accrual, of interest on the class D junior notes, producing also a movement of flows from the interest to the principal, which will help speed up the process of redeeming the senior notes. 3. Securitisation carried out through Grecale ABS Srl in May 2008 - (Grecale ABS Securitisation 4) In May 2008, a securitisation was performed for an amount of securities issued for the nominal value of 1,104m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of BNP Paribas and Finanziaria Internazionale Securitisation Group as arrangers; the assignment of loans was funded by Grecale ABS with the issuing of securities distributed in only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. The loans assigned arise from performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 48%, Central Italy 28% Southern Italy and Islands 24%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation. The values of the assignment carried out are as follows. 171

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 4 Year 2008 Assignment price - principal 1,059,353 Assignment price - interest 1,139 Total 1,060,492 The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS. Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Moody s/s&p original rating Moody s/s&p current rating Nominal amount Senior 22/04/2058 6m/3m Euribor + 60b.p. Aaa/AAA Baa2/AA- 1,007,750 Junior 22/04/2058 variable return n/r n/r 96,510 Total 1,104,260 Unipol Banca subscribed the full amount of both the senior notes (class A) and the junior notes (class B). Given the tensions generated on the financial market and the strong rise in the credit spreads applied to the interest rates following the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the operation was structured from the start with the aim of subscribing all the notes issued, with a view to using, as indeed happened, the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The features of the notes are, however, such to allow swift placement with institutional investors, should the changed expectations with regard to yield expressed by the market make the offer profitable. The two classes of notes are characterised by increasing levels of subordination, with absolute priority in favour of the Class A securities. The repayment of principal began eighteen months from issue in January 2010 and at the date on which the financial year closed almost 54% of Class A notes had already been repaid at their nominal issue value, as seen in the table shown below. The senior notes were initially issued with the half-yearly coupon indexed to the 6-month Euribor until 24 January 2011 and subsequently, with a quarterly coupon and indexing to the 3-month Euribor. The operation was restructured in line with the change in the coupon indexation and to take into account the possibility of Class A notes being sold to third parties in the future, which mainly involved the originator repurchasing a package of delinquent and default loans, the widening of the spreads paid on Class A coupons, the widening of the spreads on interest-rate-swap contract and the subsequent request to the two rating agencies involved to confirm the rating to take into account the changes made to the contract. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve of 41.9m, originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities, the amount of which it will be possible to reduce according to the changed requirements for protection as soon as the amount of the junior notes (class B) is at least 17.50% of the residual value of the senior notes (class A) in circulation. As with the transactions described previously, here, too, Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, entered into to hedge the interest rate risk affecting the vehicle company. On the basis of the current interest rate swap contract, the vehicle company collected the 3-month Euribor +130bps from the counterparty and paid the counterparty all the interest collected, net of the differential of the relating accruals on the performing loans. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. 172

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 At the closing date the residual value of the securities was as follows: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 1,007,750 512,758 466,668 Class B notes 96,510 96,510 96,510 Total 1,104,260 609,268 563,178 4. Securitisation carried out through Grecale ABS Srl in April 2009 - (Grecale ABS Securitisation 5) In April 2009, the bank carried out a securitisation for an amount of securities issued for the nominal value of 627m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of UBS Investment Bank Limited and Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese SpA as arrangers; the assignment of loans was funded by Grecale ABS with the issuing of securities distributed in only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. The loans assigned arise from performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 44%, Central Italy 38% Southern Italy and Islands 18%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation. The values of the assignment carried out are as follows. Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 5 Year 2009 Assignment price - principal 611,005 Assignment price - interest 688 Total 611,693 The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS.

All the securities were subscribed by Unipol Banca at the time of issue, with the aim of using the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The operation is therefore described as a self-securitisation. During the current financial year, the Senior notes were entirely sold to third financial counterparties on the market, determining the transformation of the type of operation that was no longer a selfsecuritisation. The two classes of notes are characterised by increasing levels of subordination, with absolute 173

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements priority in favour of the Class A notes; the redemption of senior notes began during the 2011 financial year and by the date the financial statements closed had been repaid by more than 56%. The senior notes were issued with the half-yearly coupon indexed to the 6-month Euribor +300bps. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities. The initial amount of the cash reserve is 2.5% of the initial portfolio and can increase later on according to the regulatory framework defined indemnity amount target amount ; the cash reserve will be zeroed only after the repayment in full of the senior notes. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting the vehicle company. On the basis of the current interest rate swap contract, the vehicle company pays to the counterparty, with the same frequency of the coupons, an amount determined by applying to the notional value of reference a fixed rate, the arithmetical average of Euribor 3 months for the period plus a spread of 0.3% and the arithmetical average of Euribor 6 months for the period, respectively, and receives the variable interest rate plus a spread of 0.1%, and receives in all cases an amount determined by applying to the notional amount of reference Euribor 6 months reported at the beginning of the period. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. At the closing date the residual value of the securities was as follows: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 531,700 261,063 231,035 Class B notes 95,360 95,360 95,360 Total 627,060 356,423 326,395 5. Securitisation carried out through Grecale RMBS 2011 Srl in October 2011 - (Grecale RMBS 2011 Securitisation 1) The securitisation was carried out in October 2011 through the transfer of performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 43%, Central Italy 34% Southern Italy and Islands 23%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation for a total amount of 723m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of J.P.Morgan that acted as arranger and was financed by issuing securities for a nominal value of 724m, divided in three classes (Senior A1-A2 and Junior). 174

The operation was therefore described as a self-securitisation until the previous financial year. During the previous and current financial year, all of the Senior A2 securities were sold to third financial counterparties on the market, determining the transformation of the type of operation that was no longer a self-securitisation. The redemption of the senior securities started in 2013, eighteen months after the issue date. At the closing date, class A1 was fully repaid, therefore, the repayment of class A2 for a residual value of 98% started. The senior notes were issued with the quarterly coupon indexed to the 3-month Euribor +2000bps for class A1 and 500bps for class A2. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities. The initial amount of the cash reserve is 2.5% of the initial portfolio and can increase later on according to the regulatory framework defined indemnity amount target amount ; the cash reserve will be zeroed only after the repayment in full of the senior notes. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting the vehicle company.

Securitisation carried out through SME Grecale Srl in July 2012 - (SME Grecale) Purely for informative purposes, as stated at the beginning of this section, it should be mentioned that in July 2012 a new securitisation was carried out by selling a total of 839m of secured and unsecured performing loans granted by Unipol Banca to SMEs resident in Italy, backed, for the secured part, by first degree or subsequent degree mortgages, where the residual debt did not exceed 80% of the professionally ascertained value of the property, and consequently securities with the same nominal value, divided into two classes (senior and junior), were issued, as shown in the following table: Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Fitch/DBRS original rating Fitch/DBRS current rating Nominal amount Senior 31/01/2062 3m Euribor + 350b.p. AAA/AAA AA+/AAA 430,000 Junior 31/01/2062 3m Euribor n/r n/r 409,217 Total 839,217 The scheme was organised with the collaboration of J.P. Morgan as arranger. All the securities were subscribed by Unipol Banca at the time of issue, with the aim of using the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The operation is therefore described as a self-securitisation. The redemption of the senior securities began in 2012; these securities had been already repaid by more than 87% of their nominal value on issue. Moreover, during the last two financial years, the bank repurchased, for reasons of commercial management and within the powers granted by the Service agreement, loans part of the scheme for an amount of residual capital of 56m. Repurchases continued also in the first months of 2015. 176

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements The new Group Investment Policy, which lays down guidelines for investment procedures, the criteria for the investment policy, the types of asset in which it is deemed appropriate to invest and the limits, was approved during 2014. The policy specified the following limits: Portfolio limits; Rating risk limits and concentration limits; VaR limits; Sensitivity limits; Exchange rate risk limits; Limits on loss in the income statement; ALM risk limits; Counterparty risk limits; Settlement risk limits. The market risk is calculated and the limits laid down in the Investment Policy are monitored once a week by the Market Risk Report, which is drawn up and discussed at a meeting of the Finance Committee of Unipol Banca SpA every month. The Risk Management Department presents a quarterly report on the monitoring of the Investment Policy limits to the Bank s Board of Directors. The market risk is measured for management purposes using the Value at Risk, calculated, using the Historical Simulation method with 99.5% reliability, on a daily basis by the Risk Management Department of Unipol Banca SpA, against the trading portfolio and the available-for-sale portfolio using the Kondor Global Risk (KGR) application. A different holding period is envisaged depending on the portfolio of reference; for the trading portfolio in particular, the holding period is 10 days, while for the Available-for-Sale portfolio, this period is 252 days. The historical observation period considered for the calculation of the Value at Risk is at least one year for the trading portfolio and three years for the Available-for-Sale portfolio. The VAR is based on the Held-for-Trading and Available-for-Sale portfolios of Unipol Banca. The VaR of Unipol Banca SpA s trading portfolio at 31 December 2014 (IAS Held-for-trading and Available-for-sale portfolios) is shown below, subdivided according to risk factor.

The risk spread relating to the Value at Risk includes debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments, central governments, central banks or multilateral development banks in the Bank s trading portfolio. The Value at Risk includes instruments held to hedge the risk and mechanisms for transferring the risk. The main sensitivities are calculated and monitored as well as the Value at Risk. Sensitivities indicate the change in the market value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market risk factors. They help to manage market risk as they enable the translation of the Value-at-Risk limits into limits that can be monitored by financial operators. 184

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The main sensitivity measures used are: basis point value; duration; sensitivity to credit spreads; delta of the share portfolio; vega value. 2.1 Interest Rate Risk And Price Risk Regulatory Trading Portfolio Qualitative Information The interest rate risk is the risk deriving from a possible change in the value of a financial asset in the trading portfolio as a result of adverse changes in interest rates. The interest rate risk on the trading portfolio is measured either by calculating the VaR or by determining the sensitivity and the impacts resulting from stress tests. Unipol Banca SpA s operations on share markets on its own account are limited. The price risk is calculated and monitored using the VaR, sensitivity measures and stress tests. The figures for the sensitivity to interest rates, credit spreads and share prices of the Held-for-Trading and Available-for-Sale portfolios of Unipol Banca SpA at 31 December 2014 are shown below.

A table summarising the sensitivity parameters for the banking portfolio at 31 December 2014 is shown below. The duration gap shows the weighted average difference between the duration of the asset compared with that of the liability (including off-balance items), whilst the sensitivity parameters illustrate the percentage divergence between the expected margin and the economic value of the bank s shareholders equity in relation to an interest rate shock of +/- 100 basis points. The banking portfolio rate risk is analysed using typical asset and liability management tools, such as the duration gap and calculating the effect of changes in interest rates on expected net interest income and on the financial value of equity.

3 Notes to the Separate Financial Statements Section 3 Liquidity Risk Qualitative Information A. General aspects, management processes and methods of calculating the operational risk The liquidity risk is the risk that the bank might find it difficult to meet its expected or unexpected cash liabilities within a reasonable time and therefore have to sell some of its less liquid assets at unfavourable conditions, thus affecting its solvency. Within the limits approved by the Board of Directors, Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee is responsible for managing Unipol Banca SpA s ALM and the liquidity risk. Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Department is responsible for the operational management of liquidity. A Unipol Banca SpA ALM and Liquidity meeting takes place every week. During this meeting the overall liquidity situation of the Unipol Banca SpA is monitored and decisions are made with regard to action to meet emerging liquidity requirements. At the weekly meeting, the structural and tactical liquidity-gap situation is analysed based on the date cash flows are due. Short-term tactical cash flows are supplemented by the expected flows linked to the renewal of sources of finance due from institutional customers to expected major new transactions not present in the IT systems used for generating cash flows and managing liquidity, and to administrative expenses and taxes due. The meeting also analyses trends in final amounts and rates on income and lending by institutional counterparties, banks and customers of Unipol Banca and compares them with the budget concerned. The liquidity gap based on contractual flows and expected flows is then compared with the reserves of liquid assets or assets that can be swiftly turned into cash. The analysis is carried out under both normal conditions (business as usual), and idiosyncratic, market and combined stress conditions (worst-case scenario). Idiosyncratic stress includes for example: a partial reduction of sources of finance by cooperative counterparties; a partial reduction of sources of finance by retail customers (sale on the secondary market of the bonds issued by Unipol Banca and partial withdrawal of on demand items); the failure to renew the sources of finance not collateralised by institutional counterparties and banks, reduction of the possibility of loans on characteristic markets (Interbank Deposit Market, Collateralised interbank market, EMTN issues); a reduction in maturities related to available sources of finance; possible events related to the achievement of thresholds on collateral agreements and impacts on credit lines by institutional counterparties and banks for transactions in derivatives, collateralised deposits, repurchase agreements of deposits and security and currency forward transactions. The stress of the market is defined as the simultaneous unavailability of certain characteristic loan markets (interbank market, EMTN issues) as well as the reduction of liquidity on financial markets relating to the sale/ purchase of financial instruments resulting in the inability to liquidate positions in securities over a short-term period without significant economic impacts. 204

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 In such a scenario, it is assumed, for example: a reduction of the possibility of loans on characteristic markets (Interbank Deposit Market, Collateralised interbank market, MTS, EMTN issues) and a reduction in maturities related to available sources of finance; a decrease in the value of the assets in the portfolio; the failure to renew the sources of finance collateralised and not collateralised by institutional counterparties and banks a partial reduction of sources of finance by cooperative counterparties; an increase in the use of credit lines by corporate counterparties of Unipol Banca. The combined stress scenario is a worst case scenario that considers the joint impact of the two previous scenarios. The severity levels envisaged may be different from the previous two, and the combination of the idiosyncratic and market scenarios will not necessarily be equal to the algebraic sum of the impacts of the two previous scenarios but interrelations will be considered in order to determine the combined effects. Stress application must be contemplated in two phases: very short term (two weeks) that assumes an acute phase of stress and a longer period (up to two months) that assumes a phase of stress less acute but persistent. Lastly, the principal market indicators (early warning indicators) are continuously monitored in order to give advance warning of any potential crisis. In particular, in order to identify the occurrence of market stress situations, prices and performance of the stock-market index on the reference market, information related to debt securities or credit default swaps of the market, information on the financial sector to which they belong are monitored; to identify the occurrence of an idiosyncratic stress, the rating of the Bank and other information specific to Unipol Banca SpA are monitored. A summary of the information shared during weekly meetings held to monitor liquidity and any actions to be taken are recorded in the minutes and reported to Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee. During the monthly meeting of Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee, the Head of Unipol Banca s Corporate Treasury Department and its Head of Risk Management present a description of the short-term tactical liquidity situation and the long-term strategic liquidity situation, including any action to be taken to improve the overall liquidity profile. 205

The calculation of the ratio was shared in Finance Committees and funding strategies that would enable full compliance with the regulatory requirements were outlined. Moreover, with reference to the medium-term liquidity indicator (Net Stable Funding Ratio - NSFR), a balancing activity of the figures of Cedacri were started during the year. 206

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Section 4 - Operational Risks Qualitative Information A. General aspects, management processes and methods of calculating the operational risk The Unipol Group, implementing the provisions of (EU) Regulation no. 575/2013 (known as CRR ) for credit institutions and investment companies, defines the operational risk as: the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events such as fraud or the activity of service providers. The operational risk includes, in terms of identification and quantitative assessment, the legal risk, the risk of non-compliance with regulations and IT risk, whereas the strategic and reputational risk are excluded. The MEGA project works shared with the different Control Governance functions of the Unipol Group for defining the Operational risk management and control system continued. In particular, the structure of the joint database that will make it possible to give a common focus to the information of the control structures in order to achieve important synergies was completed. Work also continued on the activities relating to the Operational Risk Management System, in line with the regulatory requirements envisaged by the Traditional Standardised Approach. This model hinges on: the process for collecting operating loss events; the process for a prospective qualitative analysis of the level of corporate risk (Risk Self-Assessment). Collection of data on operational losses continued on a quarterly basis. Quantitative Information In order to determine the capital requirement, Unipol Banca adopted the basic indicator approach. The capital requirement at 31 December 2014 was 52.9m. 215

Qualitative information Preparatory to the risk management process is the task of defining the Risk Appetite through which the risk objectives and any thresholds of tolerance are formalised. These indicators are regulated in a specific document called Risk Appetite Statement and include at least the following elements: Venture capital; Capital adequacy; Liquidity; Leverage; Non compliance; Reputational and strategic risks; Operational risk; The Parent Company, as part of the capital allocation process, defines the Risk Appetite at the Banking Group level and - if deemed necessary by virtue of a consistent pursuit and maintenance of the desired risk profile - even for one or more companies of the Banking Scope, including Unipol Banca. The process defining the Risk Appetite is related to the process defining the Business plan and the Budget. It is an iteration process aimed at the gradual alignment between the multi-year development of economic and financial variables and the objectives in terms of risk management. The Risk Appetite amount is determined in accordance with the current and future capital adequacy assessment process contained in the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) and prepared at the Banking Group level. As part of the ICAAP process, the different structures of the Bank, and in particular the Risk 220

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Management Department, collaborated with the Parent Company in the activities aimed at the current and future capital adequacy of the Banking Group, providing the appropriate and pertaining information. The Risk Appetite of the Bank is monitored on a quarterly basis and the outcome is reported to the Board of Directors. The significant risks, i.e. the risks whose consequences could affect the solvency of the Banking Group and/or of the Bank or constitute a serious obstacle to the achievement of business objectives, were classified according to criteria that take account of both the structure of the Group and the specificity of the businesses managed by the Bank. These risks are: credit risk counterparty risk market risk operational risk interest rate risk on the banking book liquidity risk concentration risk residual risk non-compliance risk strategic risk reputational risk leverage risk The identification of risks comes from a careful work carried on continuously by the Risk Management department of the Parent Company in coordination with the structures of the Banking Group companies including Unipol Banca, through: i) the continuous monitoring of company operations, its organisational structure, strategic guidelines and business model adopted; ii) a careful reading of the internal and external regulations, adequately enriched by a continuous collection of information carried out internally and externally by the department also via participation in trade and industrial associations, specialised conferences and studies and research. For the purposes of calculating the total internal capital, the Banking Group saw it fit to follow the instructions provided by Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013, adopting the methods easier to determine, allowed to intermediaries for their class of reference for ICAAP purposes and making choices in line with the regulatory practices, in such a way as to favour at best dialogue and transparency with the Supervisory Body. The analyses of capital adequacy are carried out with reference to year-end final situation and to the prospective situation in line with the budget forecasts. These analyses take place on three different levels, namely: Pillar I Pillar I + Pillar II Pillar I + Pillar II + Stress Test The total internal capital, also with reference to the Bank, is determined using a building-block approach, which consists in adding to the regulatory requirements related to the first pillar risks, the internal capital against the second pillar risks and the outcome of the stress tests (involving both categories of risks). 221

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Part G Business Combinations Section 1 Business combinations carried out during the year During the year, there were no business combinations as regulated by IFRS 3. In the context of the reorganisation and rationalisation of the Banking Group, in November 2014 the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA into Unipol Banca SpA became effective. The transaction was authorised by the Bank of Italy on 25 September 2014 and its tax and accounting effects started as from 1 January 2014 and with it, among other things, the Bank acquired control over the company Finitalia SpA operating in the sector of financing - of insurance premiums, in particular. This transaction, which was configured as a mere reorganisation within the Group (Unipol Banking Group with parent company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA) was deemed to be lacking in all economic substance and consequently recorded with the continuity of amounts in line with the provisions of the documents OPI 1 and 2 issued by Assirevi. As the transfer values are higher than the historic amounts, the excess was reversed, reducing the merging company s equity, with the recording of a special reserve in its financial statements of 44,127,635. Section 2 Transactions after the end of the year No aggregations were carried out after the end of the year. Section 3 Retrospective adjustments There were no financial and economic changes on the amounts recognised in previous years, relating to business combinations. 223

4 Board of Statutory Auditors Report BOARD OF STATUTORY AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF UNIPOL BANCA S.P.A. ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2014 IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 153 OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE 58 OF 24 FEBRUARY 1998 AND OF ART. 2429 OF THE CIVIL CODE Dear Shareholders, During the year ending 31 December 2014, we carried out the supervisory activity envisaged by law, in accordance with the code of conduct recommended by the National Council of Accounts and Accounting Experts. In particular, also in observance with the instructions issued in Consob communication 1025564 of 6 April 2001, we hereby report as follows. I. Preliminary information on the legislation governing the formation of the financial statements of Unipol Banca S.p.A at 31 December 2014. A) The Board of Statutory Auditors certifies that Unipol Banca S.p.A s 2014 financial statements are made up of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements. They are also accompanied by the Management Report. As envisaged by Legislative Decree 38 of 28 February 2005, the Unipol Banca S.p.A financial statements for 2014 are drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), approved by the European Commission and published on the Official Journal of the European Union, in accordance with the approval and publication procedure envisaged by EC Regulation 1606 of 19 July 2002. The financial statements were also drawn up in accordance with the instructions issued by the Bank of Italy, exercising the rights and powers conferred by the Decree. In particular, the instructions referred to in Circular 262 of 22 December 2005 as amended, which governs the layout and contents of the financial statements of banks to be drawn up in accordance with international accounting principles, were applied. In drawing up the financial statements, reference was made to the IAS/IFRS international accounting standards approved and in force at 31 December 2014. Recent developments regarding international accounting standards applied in these Financial Statements at 31 December 2014 concern: IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities", which contains the requirements of accounting representation for IFRS 10 and 11; IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements": amended; IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": amended 230

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Specific parts of IAS 32, 36 and 39 were also amended. Developments regarding IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, as approved by the European Commission, which become effective starting from the financial statements ended or in progress at 31 December 2014, were also implemented by the Bank of Italy with the third update to Circular 262 issued on 22 December 2014. The measurement criteria are adopted with a view to the business as a going concern, in application of the principles of accrual, relevance and significance of the accounting information and prevalence of the economic substance over the legal form. Your Directors inform you on the fact that the assumption that the business is a going concern is considered to be confirmed with reasonable certainty, since it is thought that the Bank, together with the reference Group of companies, have adequate resources to guarantee that the business can continue in the foreseeable future. The international accounting standards were applied without exception. B) Summary of the figures in the Financial Statements As usual, the financial highlights are expressed below for 2014, in k. Statement of Financial Position Financial year Financial year 2014 2013 Assets 12,306,757 12,391,603 Liabilities 11,591,869 11,758,250 Shareholders' equity 805,855 932,941 Profit (loss) for the year (90,967) (299,588) Income statement Profit (loss) on current operations (112,993) (431,717) Income tax on current operations 22,026 132,129 Profit (loss) for the year (90,967) (299,588) II. The auditing activity carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors. In accordance with the legislation and regulations referred to above, the Board of Statutory Auditors reports below the results of its activity. 1. We ensured that the law and the articles of association were observed. 2. We received a monthly report from the Directors on the business activity and the operations carried out by the Company that had a major economic and financial impact and we can reasonably state that the activities decided on and carried out complied with the 231

4 Board of Statutory Auditors Report law and with the by-laws and did not appear to be imprudent, risky, likely to give rise to a conflict of interest nor to be in conflict with the resolutions passed by the Shareholders' Meeting. 3. As far as we were able, we examined the company's organisational structure and ensured that it was properly administered and that the information requested by the company in its capacity as holding company was sufficient and timely. We collected information from departmental heads and held meetings with the Independent Auditors in order to exchange relevant figures and information, and we have no particular observations to make in that respect. 4. By looking at the information obtained from the heads of the various departments, examining company records and analysing the results of the work carried out by the Independent Auditors, the various company bodies and those responsible for internal audit, we ensured that the internal control system and the bookkeeping system were appropriate and that the bookkeeping system could be relied on to give an accurate representation of business operations. By examining the work carried out by the various departments (Internal Audit, Compliance and Risk Management) and by attending the meetings of the Internal Control Committee (with which joint meetings were held), we were able to check that it was done properly and evaluate the effectiveness of the entire Internal Control System. On the basis of the findings made while carrying out its supervisory duties, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems that the Internal Control System and R.A.F. are currently complete, adequate, operational and reliable. The Board of Statutory Auditors is also of the opinion that the Internal Audit, Compliance and Risk Management Departments were staffed in such a way and carried out their work in such a professional manner that the Internal Control System and R.A.F. were complete, adequate, operational and reliable. 5. As regards the Organisational and Management Model set up in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001 (hereinafter OMM), the Board noted at the outset that it assumed the role of Supervisory Body as from the second half of 2014. The Body, as part of its activities, followed the process of updating the OMM, which was then approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank at its meeting on 17 December 2014. The Body followed carefully (and continues to follow in the current year 2015) the preparation of the so-called Masterplan, which consists in mapping sensitive processes pursuant to Decree 231/2001, identifying problems, planning the operations for preparing controls that can report to the Body on the completion by the various Departments involved. 6. Unipol Banca S.p.A is administered and coordinated by Unipol Gruppo Finanziario S.p.A. (in accordance with Articles 2497 et seq. of the Civil Code). Your Directors provide in the Notes to the Financial Statements the information required by Art. 2497-bis of the Civil Code on the essential figures in the latest financial statements approved by Unipol Gruppo Finanziario Spa. 232

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 7. As indicated in the previous paragraph 6), Unipol Banca S.p.A is part of the "Unipol Gruppo Finanziario S.p.A." Group. We ascertained the existence of relations, both ordinary and recurrent, of a financial and commercial nature between your Company and the companies in the Unipol Gruppo Finanziario S.p.A. Group (including the Parent Company). The financial and commercial relations between Unipol Banca and the other companies in the Unipol Gruppo Finanziario S.p.A. Group come under the usual business of a group split into different companies and, as far as banking is concerned, relate to deposit or financing services rendered. Agreements were also entered into for the sale and/or management of banking and investment products and/or services and for the provision of auxiliary banking services in general. The financial effects of these relations were governed by the market terms applied to major customers. We also ascertained that loans and guarantees granted to Directors, Statutory Auditors and other representatives with management and auditing responsibilities in your Bank were approved in accordance with Art. 136 of Legislative Decree 385/93. All the transactions with related parties are set out in the Notes to the Financial Statements and are grouped according to type. The Board of Statutory Auditors ascertained that the aims of all the transactions with related parties mentioned above were rationalisation and profitability and we found nothing that could give rise to doubts about the accuracy and completeness of the information, conflicts of interest, safeguarding the equity and the protection of minority shareholders. 8. We found no evidence of atypical or unusual transactions with third parties or with related parties, as stated above. 9. We held meetings with representatives of the Independent Auditors and found no figures nor information in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 that required a mention in this report. The Report by the Independent Auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA on the Financial Statements at 31 December 2014 contains no comments. 10. The Independent Auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA were entrusted with the following additional tasks during the year: - National guarantee funds, for a remuneration of 3,000.00. - Approval, for a remuneration of 4,000.00. 11. During the financial year, a subject related with the Independent Auditors specifically, the Company TLS Associazione Professionale di Avvocati e commercialisti, was entrusted with a task. The task consisted in: a tax consultancy activity on the main phases of the procedure for assessing direct taxes (IRES and IRAP), indirect taxes (VAT, stamp duty etc.) and the obligations as withholding agent with specific reference to the characteristics of the banking activity. The remuneration paid amounted to 40,000.00. 233

We checked that the Financial Statements and the Management Report had been drawn up in accordance with current legislation and in a thorough manner. Under the provisions of Art. 14 of Legislative Decree 39 of 27 January 2010, the Independent Auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the consistency of the Management Report with the Financial Statements.

Obligation to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Auditors Report. Following the changes introduced by the Supervisory Regulations of the Bank of Italy, with a special note of 1 August 2014, the Supervisory Authority announced the change of the Register of Banking Groups through the cancellation of the Banking Group Unipol Banca S.p.A. and the registration of the new Unipol Banking Group. Therefore, Unipol Banca is no longer the Parent Company of the previous Unipol Banca Banking Group and at the same time it is part of the Unipol Banking Group, with the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario S.p.A. Unipol Banca is still obliged to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the provision of IFRS 10. The Board of Statutory Auditors states that it fulfilled such obligation with the approval of the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 18 March 2015. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2014 were drawn up in compliance with the IAS/IFRS international accounting standards issued by the IASB and approved by the European Commission, with the relative interpretations issued by the IFRIC in accordance with that envisaged by EC Regulation 1606/2002, in force on the closing date. Recent developments regarding international accounting standards applied in these Consolidated Financial statements at 31 December 2014 concern: IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements", which replaced IAS 27 with reference to the part concerning the consolidated financial statements and the SIC12 interpretation; IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements", which replaced IAS 31 The Consolidated Financial Statements consist of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements, and are accompanied by the Directors Management Report.

Following that stated, we ought to point out that the above tasks are the responsibility of the Independent Auditors: PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. The Board of Statutory Auditors in monitoring the independent audit examined the Independent Auditors work schedule for the Consolidated Financial Statements and exchanged information with the company on the work performed, finding no anomalies worthy of mention in the present Report. The Report issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. on the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2014 contains no comments. The Board of Statutory Auditors carried out the work described above by holding 32 meetings and attending the 13 meetings of the Board of Directors. During the course of the supervisory work and on the basis of information obtained from the Independent Auditors, no omissions, mistakes, irregularities nor any significant facts came to light such as to require the supervisory entities to be notified nor to require a mention in this Report on the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Part A Accounting policies A.1 General Section 1 Declaration of compliance with international accounting standards In compliance with Legislative Decree 38 of 28 February 2005, the 2014 consolidated financial statements of the Unipol Banca Group were drafted in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/ IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), endorsed by the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Union, according to the approval and publication procedure set out in Community Regulation 1606 of 19 July 2002. The financial statements were drawn up in accordance with the instructions issued by the Bank of Italy, exercising the rights and powers conferred by the Decree. In particular, the instructions referred to in Circular 262 of 22 December 2005 as amended, which governs the layout and contents of the financial statements of banks to be drawn up in accordance with international accounting principles, were applied. In drafting the consolidated financial statements, reference has been made to the IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, endorsed and effective at 31 December 2014. Recent developments regarding international accounting standards are shown in Section 5 Other aspects below. In exercising its management and coordination activity, the Parent Company requires the Group companies to apply, where appropriate, the accounting rules used within the Group. Section 2 General principles The consolidated financial statements are made up of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to the Financial Statements. They are also accompanied by the Management Report. The consolidated financial statements have been drawn up clearly and represent the assets and liabilities, financial situation and economic result for the year in a truthful and correct manner. The measurement criteria are adopted with a view to the business as a going concern, in application of the principles of accruals, relevance and significance of the accounting information and prevalence of the economic substance over the legal form. The assumption that the business is a going concern is considered to be confirmed with reasonable certainty, since it is thought that the Group has adequate resources to guarantee that the business can continue in the foreseeable future. See also Section 5 Other aspects below. The international accounting standards were applied without exception. The currency of account is the Euro. The amounts in the tables to the financial statements and in the notes to the financial statements are in k, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are shown in comparative format, stating the values for the previous year. The Notes to the Financial Statements and the Board of Directors Management Report supply the information required under applicable legislation, supplemented, where deemed appropriate, by other information that is not compulsory but intended to provide a better picture of the Group s overall situation. Section 3 Scope and methods of consolidation The scope of consolidation includes the Parent Company Unipol Banca SpA, the subsidiaries and the associated companies. Subsidiaries are considered to be companies in which the Parent Company holds, either directly or indirectly, the majority of the voting rights at the ordinary shareholders meeting, or in which it holds few voting rights but still exercises control by virtue of contractual agreements or statutory restrictions that allow appointment of the majority of the directors of the subsidiary or determination of the company s financial and operational policies. As a result of this definition, in compliance with that defined on the de facto control by IFRS 10 that replaced SIC 260

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 12 effective as from 1 January 2014, securitisation vehicle companies, so-called Special Purpose Entities are also included in the scope of consolidation, although Unipol Banca has no participating interest in their share capital. Subsidiaries are consolidated according to the line-by-line method. Associated Companies are considered to be companies in which the Parent Company exercises, either directly or indirectly, considerable influence and that are not constituted as subsidiaries or joint ventures. Considerable influence is presumed when the partner holds at least 20% of the voting rights at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting. Associated Companies are consolidated using the equity method. Joint ventures are considered to be companies in which the voting rights and control of the assets are distributed equally between a number of partners. There are no joint ventures within the scope of consolidation. Line-by-line consolidation The line-by-line method of consolidation involves recording in the consolidated financial statements all the items in the financial statements of the companies subject to consolidation, unless otherwise provided for by consolidation of the investments and elimination of the reciprocal transactions. The value of the investments held in the consolidated companies is offset by the group s share of equity in the participating interests and any non-controlling interest share is classified in the appropriate liability item. Offsetting is carried out according to the values at the date of acquisition or, if later, the date of consolidation. Differences in value arising from offsetting that cannot be fully or partially attributed to specific asset or liability items are entered, if positive such as goodwill, under intangible assets. Negative differences are generally charged to the income statement. As regards reciprocal transactions, credit and debit transactions between the consolidated companies, income and expense relating to transactions carried out between these companies and profits and losses resulting from infra-group transactions and therefore not carried out with third parties, are eliminated. Consolidation using the equity method The equity method represents a concise method of consolidation that incorporates the changes in the relevant portion of the equity into the value of the investment. The investment is, in fact, entered at cost, inclusive of any goodwill value paid on acquisition, and is adjusted from period to period to reflect the changes in the equity of the participating interest, including the pertinent share of non-distributed profit. The table below shows the subsidiaries included in the scope of consolidation according to the various classifications. 261

Other information In the current financial year, note the following changes in the scope of consolidation: in November 2014, Unipol Banca sold the equity investment held in Unicard SpA to third parties; as part of the more extended merger between Unipol Banca SpA and Banca Sai SpA, Unipol Banca acquired the equity investment in Finitalia SpA, previously wholly owned by Banca Sai SpA. For consolidation purposes, the financial statements or the interim reports of the Parent Company and of the companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis were used. Almost all of the subsidiaries, excluding Nettuno Fiduciaria Srl, have to draw up their own financial statements in conformity with the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) under the provisions of Legislative Decree 38/2005. In cases where this obligation does not occur, the financial statements/interim reports of the subsidiaries have been duly reclassified and adjusted so that they conform to the IAS/IFRS, where necessary. The financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation are all at 31 December 2014 and are all drawn up in Euros; therefore it was not necessary to proceed with the conversion of values expressed in currency other than the Euro. 262

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Section 4 Events subsequent to the accounting reference date In January 2015, the general inspection by the Bank of Italy at Unipol Banca SpA was completed: the results will be announced by the Supervisory Body in the coming months. On 11 February 2015, an amendment to the Indemnity Agreement was defined with the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA that envisages, effective as from the end of the 2014 financial year, the widening of the area of indemnified non-performing loans to other positions totalling 200.9m (on the basis of the financial statements at 31 December 2014). After this amendment, the overall area of the loans included in the agreement amounted to 907.7m. No other significant events likely to affect the results of the financial statements or require significant changes to the scope of consolidation occurred after the close of the year. Section 5 Other aspects Information on expectation of the business to be a going concern The joint coordination board between the Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP on application of the IAS/IFRS according to document 2 of 6 February 2009 Information to be provided in financial reports on expectation of the business to be a going concern, financial risks, impairment tests on assets and uncertainty as to the use of estimates, asked the Directors to make particularly accurate assessments of the existence of the assumption of expected continuation of the business as a going concern. The recommendation was also referred to in document 4 of 3 March 2010, issued jointly by the Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP. Paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1 in particular establish, in brief, that the senior executives must assess the company s ability to continue to operate as a functioning entity, taking into account all the information available on at least the twelve months following the end of the year. The level of analysis depends on the specific circumstances of each individual case. Profits from previous years and easy access to financial resources confirm the presumption that the company will remain in business, even if no detailed analysis is carried out. To this end, having examined the risks and uncertainties connected with the current macroeconomic context, it is considered reasonable to expect that the Group will continue operating in the foreseeable future and, as a result, the consolidated financial statements for 2014 were drawn up on the assumption that the business is a going concern. The uncertainties connected with problems relating to risks involving liquidity, credit and income were not considered significant and, at any rate, such as not to generate doubts as to business continuing, considering also the insurance Group s solid equity position and facilitated access to financial resources. Risks and uncertainties connected with the use of estimates The application of certain accounting standards necessarily involves significant assessment elements based on estimates and assumptions that are uncertain at the time of their formulation. For the 2014 financial statements, the assumptions made are considered to be appropriate and, as a result, the financial statements were drawn up with clarity and give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of the operations and of the cash flows. In order to make reliable estimates and assumptions, reference was made to the historical experience as well as to other factors considered appropriate in the present case, based on all available information. However, it cannot be ruled out that changes in these estimates and assumptions may have significant effects on the financial and economic situation, as well as on potential assets and liabilities in the financial statements for reporting purposes, should the assessment elements be different than those expressed at the time. The estimates mainly concern: evaluation of receivables; assets and liabilities recognised at fair value (in particular, for level 2 and 3 financial instruments); the analyses aimed at identifying impairment losses on intangible assets (e.g.: goodwill) recorded in the financial statements (impairment test); the quantification of provisions for risks and charges and provisions for employee benefits. 263

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For information on the methods used in determining the items in question and the main risk factors, reference is made to paragraphs containing the description of the measurement criteria. Accounting standards and interpretations effective as from 1 January 2014 IFRS 10, 11, 12, amendments to IAS 27 and IAS 28 On 12 May 2011, the IASB published the standards: IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaced IAS 27 with reference to the part concerning the consolidated financial statements and the SIC12 interpretation; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, which replaced IAS 31; IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities which contains the requirements of accounting representation for IFRS 10 and 11; IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements ; IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. According to IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all of the following elements: the decision-making power to direct the relevant activities (which affect the economic returns); exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor s returns. IFRS 11 defined a joint arrangement as an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. It distinguishes a joint operation from a joint venture: a joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. In accounts, assets and liabilities relating to the arrangement are reflected in the financial statements using the standard of reference; a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. These parties are defined joint ventures. In accounts, the joint venture is consolidated using the equity method. The objective of IFRS 12 is to require the disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate: the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements has the objective of setting standards to be applied in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements. The new IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IFRS 10, 11, 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28 were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1254 of 11 December 2012 and became effective as from 1 January 2014. IAS 32 Financial instruments - presentation The 1256/2012 Regulation of the European Commission of 13 December 2012, published in the Official Journal of the European Union No. L 360 of 29 December 2012 amended IAS 32, with reference to the requirements for offsetting financial assets and liabilities. Amendments will be effective as from 1 January 2014. 264

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Amendments to IFRS 10, 12 and to IAS 27 - Investment entities On 31 October 2012, IASB published the document Investment entities that amended IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements ; this document amended IFRS 10 in order to prescribe investment entities to assess their equity investment in a subsidiary at fair value recorded in the income statement rather than consolidate it, in order to better represent their business model. Following this logic, IFRS 12 was amended to impose, in case of application of the exception to the requirement to consolidate, the presentation of a specific information concerning the assessments and the significant assumptions adopted in determining whether the company fell under the case of investment entity. Consequently, IAS 27 was amended in order to provide that the company, as investment entity, is exempt from the consolidation, presents its separate financial statements as the only financial statements and that, if it has to prepare the consolidated financial statements, it is obliged to enter its investment in a subsidiary measured at fair value recorded in the income statement in the consolidated financial statements in the same way as the separate financial statements. The above-mentioned amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1174 of 20 November 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendments to IFRS 10, 11 and 12 - Transition Guidance The 313/2013 Regulation of the European Commission published on the Official Journal of the European Union, L 95 of 5 April 2013, adopted the amendments introduced by the document published by the IASB on 28 June 2012, which allows to limit to the financial year immediately before that of the financial statements the comparative information to be provided in case of consolidation, following the first application of IFRS 10, of equity investments previously not consolidated (this facility is also extended to the transitional provisions of IFRS 11 and 12). Amendments are effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendment to IAS 36 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets On 29 May 2013, IASB published some amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of assets, which are intended to clarify that the recoverable amount disclosures for assets, when this value is based on the fair value net of the disposal costs, concern only the assets whose amount has been reduced. These amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1374 of 19 December 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Amendment to IAS 39 - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting On 27 June 2013, IASB published some amendments to the international accounting standard IAS 39; these amendments aimed at regulating situations in which a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is subject to novation by a counterparty to a central counterparty as a result of legislation or regulations. Hedge accounting may well continue regardless of the novation, which would not be allowed without the amendment. The amendments were approved with (EU) Regulation no. 1375 of 19 December 2013 effective as from 1 January 2014. Developments regarding IAS/IFRS international accounting standards, as approved by the European Commission, which become effective starting from the financial statements ended or in progress at 31 December 2014, were also implemented by the Bank of Italy with the third update to Circular no. 262 issued on 22 December 2014. The application of the new accounting standards described did not have significant impacts on the result and financial position of the Group. 265

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Forthcoming accounting standards and interpretations The main documents published by the International Accounting Standard Board, which may be relevant for the Group but not yet applicable in that not yet endorsed by EFRAG or not yet applicable, are also described below. IFRIC 21 Levies IFRIC 21 - issued to identify the method and timing of recognition and accounting of the levies (other than income taxes) imposed by a government agency for which the entity does not receive specific goods or services - was published on 20 May 2013. The interpretation deals both with the liability for taxes that fall within the scope of IAS 37 and with those for the levies whose timing and amount are certain. The interpretation published on the Official Gazette L 175 of 14 June 2014 applies starting from the financial years as from 17 June 2014. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments At the end of July, IASB issued, definitively, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, standard replacing the previous versions published in 2009 and in 2010. The new standard concludes a process by stages of reform of the current IAS 39, structured in the revision of the rules of classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting (the regulation on macro hedge is still being defined). More specifically, with regard to financial assets, the new standard adopts a single approach based on the methods of management of financial instruments and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the assets in order to establish the measurement criteria; the new model of impairment, based on a concept of forward-looking expected loss, aims at ensuring a more immediate recognition of losses compared to the current IAS 39 model of incurred loss, whereby the regulation concerning the hedging relations aims at ensuring greater alignment between the accounting representation of hedges and the risk management policies. Currently, the standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2018. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 - Clarification of acceptable methods of amortisation/depreciation and writedown The amendments made to the two accounting principles intend to clarify that amortisation/depreciation calculating methods based on revenues cannot be used, because revenues reflect the methods for generating future economic benefits that derive from the activity of the company to which the assets subject to amortisation/depreciation belong and do not reflect the methods of consumption of expected future economic benefits of the assets. IAS 38 was amended by introducing a presumption of fact according to which the methods for determining the amortisation of intangible assets, based on revenues, are inappropriate for the same reasons outlined with reference to IAS 16. Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 will be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IFRS 11 - Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations The document provides clarification on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation by establishing that the acquirer of interests in a joint operation consisting of a company as defined by IFRS 3, must apply all the rules for the accounting of business combinations established by IFRS 3 (the IFRS Interpretations Committee was asked whether the acquirer of interests should apply, on initial recognition of the interest, the principles in IFRS 3 Business combinations or whether the acquirer should instead account for it as the acquisition of a group of assets). The amendments to IFRS 11 will come into effect as from 1 January 2016. 266

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Amendments to IAS 27 - Equity method in separate financial statements The document introduced the option to use, in the separate financial statements of an entity, the equity method for the measurement of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates. As a result, an entity will be able to measure these investments in its separate financial statements at cost, or according to what is envisaged by IFRS 9 (or IAS 39), or by using the equity method. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture IFRS 10 was amended to establish that gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, measured with the equity method, are recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors interests in the associate or joint venture. IAS 28 was amended to establish that gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution to an associate or a joint venture of assets that constitute a business are recognised in full. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2016. Amendments to IAS 19 - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions The amendments to IAS 19 allow to present the contributions made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the contributions are paid. The right is allowed for contributions that are independent of the number of years of service and therefore are related to the service rendered by the employee in the period in which the contributions are paid. The amendments are effective as from the date of commencement of the first financial year, whether it starts on 1 February 2015 or later. IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 replaces IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction contracts, SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. The new model of revenue recognition applies to all contracts with customers except for leases within the scope of IAS 17 Leasing, for insurance contracts and for financial instruments. IFRS 15 identifies a five-step model framework to define the timing and the amount of revenues to be recognised (1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3. Determine the transaction price 4. Allocate the transaction price; 5. Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard is expected to be effective as from 1 January 2017. Other The consolidated financial statements are submitted for auditing by PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA to whom the Shareholders Meeting of the Parent Company has entrusted the assignment for 2012-2020. 267

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements A.2 Main financial statement items 1 Held-for-trading financial assets 1.1 Classification A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it meets one of the following conditions: the asset is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the short term; the asset is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed as a unit as part of a strategy aimed at making a profit in the short term; the asset is a derivative contract but not a derivative hedging contract; Hedging contracts include those incorporated into complex financial instruments (hybrid or combined), which have to be recorded separately if they meet all the following conditions: the economic features and the risks of the incorporated derivative are not strictly correlated with those of the primary contract; even if recorded separately, the incorporated derivative has features such as to comply with the definition of a derivative contract; the hybrid instrument that incorporates the derivative is not designated at fair value with the relating changes being recorded in the income statement. The Group has classified under this item debt securities, equity securities and positive values for derivative contracts held for trading. Debt securities and equity securities not managed for trading purposes, as well as hedge derivatives are excluded from this item. 1.2 Recognition The initial recognition of held-for-trading assets is carried out on the settlement date for debt securities and equity securities and on the subscription date for derivatives, for a value equal to the fair value of the financial instrument without taking into consideration directly chargeable transaction costs or income, which are recorded directly in the income statement. 1.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question are designated at fair value and the changes in value are recorded in the income statement (item 80 Net result from trading). For further information on the methods for determining the fair value, reference is made to part A.4 Information on fair value qualitative information. 1.4 Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised only when the contractual rights on the cash flows arising from it expire or when it is assigned to third parties and all the risks and benefits are effectively and substantially transferred. 2 Available-for-sale financial assets 2.1 Classification Classified under this item are all the financial assets, other than derivatives, designated as such or not otherwise classified as receivables, held-to-maturity investments and held-for-trading assets. 268

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The Group has included the following types of financial asset in this category: debt securities held for the purposes of investment and not intended for short-term trading; strategic equity investments (less than 20% of the share capital, of strategic importance from a commercial or corporate point of view); equity investments not managed for the purposes of trading and not classifiable as controlling, associated or joint ventures, including those held for merchant banking. 2.2 Recognition Initial recognition is carried out when the Group becomes party to the contractual clauses of the financial instrument, which normally coincides with the settlement date. The initial recognition value is equal to the fair value of the financial instrument, which generally coincides with the related purchase cost, including the directly chargeable transaction costs or income. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those held to maturity or those held for trading and carried at fair value, in the exceptional cases in which such transfers are permitted in accordance with IAS 39, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. 2.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question continue to be designated at fair value. The interest component resulting from application of the amortised cost method, where it exists, goes to the income statement, whilst profits and losses from the change in fair value are recorded directly under shareholders equity (item 140 Valuation reserves). The fair value is determined according to the same criteria already stated for held-for-trading assets. When the asset is derecognised or when reasons arise for recording a loss in value, the profits and losses accumulated due to changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement. The loss in value is recorded if there is objective evidence that the recoverable value of the financial instrument is lower than its purchase value less any refunds and depreciation. Write-backs are allowed only if the reasons that determined the recording of the loss no longer apply and they are recorded up to an amount such as to attribute to the financial instrument a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost method without previous adjustments. Losses in value go to the income statement under item 130 sub-item b) Net impairment adjustments to available-for-sale financial assets. Write-backs on debt securities are recorded under the same item, whilst write-backs on equity securities are recorded under a shareholders equity reserve (item 140 Valuation reserves). Checking for the existence of conditions for recording losses in value and subsequent write-backs is carried out on the reference date for each annual account or interim position. Equity instruments for which it is not possible to reliably determine the relative fair value amount are carried at cost, except for the recording of losses of value where reasons exist. These losses of value must not, however, be reinstated in subsequent years. Impairment policy on available-for-sale financial assets Paragraph 58 of IAS 39 states that, at each reference date for the financial statements, companies must check whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered a reduction of value. In order to determine whether a financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered a reduction in value, they need to be subjected to a periodical impairment test. Indications of a possible reduction in value are, for example, the issuer experiencing significant financial difficulties, failure to fulfil obligations or missed payments of interest or capital, the possibility that the beneficiary may become subject to bankruptcy proceedings or similar proceedings and the disappearance of an active market for the asset. In accordance with paragraph 61 of IAS 39, 269

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements a significant or prolonged drop in the fair value of an investment in an instrument representing capital below cost must be considered to be objective evidence of impairment. IAS 39 does not define the terms significant and prolonged but implies, partly on the basis of an IFRIC guideline, that their meaning should be left to the opinion of the directors whenever they have to draw up financial statements or an interim statement for IAS purposes, as long as the meaning is determined objectively and in a reasonable manner and complies with paragraph 61 of IAS 39. The impairment policy adopted by the Group is consistent with that adopted by the Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, and impairment testing is carried out in close collaboration with and under the leadership of the Group Finance Department. Starting with the 2009 financial statements, the Group defined as significant a drop in the market value of equity instruments classified as available for sale (AFS) of 20% compared with the initial subscription value and deemed as prolonged a market value remaining below the initial subscription value for more than 36 months. These parameters remained unchanged in subsequent valuations until and including the 2011 interim report. At the end of the 2011 financial year, in view of the impact of the financial markets crisis on share prices, which recorded a gradual downturn combined with an increase in volatility, giving rise to doubts as to whether current prices were the best indicator of the intrinsic value of assets, the Group carried out a thorough analysis of how markets had performed over the previous decade. The results of this analysis led the Group to raise the threshold of significance of losses in value to be considered as an objective indication of impairment for equity instruments classified as available for sale from 20% to 50%. Therefore, as of 31 December 2011, in the case of equity securities, all the securities to which at least one of the following conditions applied were impairment-tested: a) the market price had remained below the initial subscription value for the previous 36 months; b) the decrease in value on the accounting reference date was more than 50% of the initial subscription value. This confirmed that these securities were impaired and the total variation in fair value was recorded in the income statement and the AFS provision written off. In the case of debt securities, whenever payment of a coupon or repayment of capital is late or missed and this is confirmed by the deposit bank, the Finance Department immediately notifies the Risk Management Department of the need to carry out any write-downs. 2.4 Derecognition The same criteria already stated for held-for-trading assets (paragraph 1.4) apply. 3 Held-to-maturity investments 3.1 Classification Held-to-maturity investments are represented by financial instruments other than derivatives, with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed due date, which there is the intention and the ability to hold onto until maturity. The Group has classified financial assets under this item. 270

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 3.2 Recognition Initial recognition is carried out when the Group becomes party to the contractual clauses of the financial instrument, which normally coincides with the settlement date. The initial recognition value is equal to the fair value of the financial instrument, which generally coincides with the related purchase cost, including the directly chargeable transaction costs or income. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those available for sale, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. The Group made no reclassifications of the kind described above. 3.3 Measurement After initial recognition, the assets in question are valued at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Profits and losses are recorded in the income statement within the space of the residual life owing to amortisation of the difference between recognition value and redeemable value upon expiry. Profits and losses recorded when these assets are eliminated or undergo impairment also go to the income statement. Held-to-maturity investments are subject to periodical auditing for the existence of losses in value. Should objective evidence of impairment arise, the amount of the loss is measured against the difference in the carrying amount of the asset and the current value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset s original effective interest rate. Write-backs are allowed only if the reasons that determined the recording of the loss no longer apply, and they are recorded up to an amount such as to assign the financial instrument a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost without previous adjustments. 3.4 Derecognition The same criteria already stated for held-for-trading assets (paragraph 1.4) apply. Should a significant amount of assets, classified within this category, be sold or reclassified during the year, before maturity, any remaining held-to-maturity assets would be reclassified as available for sale and for two successive years it would not be possible to classify any asset within this category. This penalty does not apply if the sales or reclassifications: are so close to maturity that the fluctuations in the market rates cannot have a significant effect on the fair value of the assets; occurred after substantially all the original principal for the asset was collected as a result of scheduled or early ordinary payments; are to be attributed to an uncontrollable isolated event, which is not recurrent and cannot therefore be reasonably forecast. 4 Receivables 4.1 Classification Classified within this category are financial assets, other than derivatives, which involve fixed or determinable payments and which are not listed on an active market. The following assets are excluded from this category: receivables intended for immediate or short term sale, which must be classified under held-for-trading assets; receivables for which it is not possible to recover substantially all the initial investment, due to reasons other than impairment of the receivable, which must be classified under available-for-sale assets; receivables that, at the time they were initially recognised, may have been designated as assets at fair value, booked to the income statement, or as available-for-sale assets. The Group has classified within this category all the receivables resulting from loan and/or deposit contracts with customers and the banking system. Repurchase agreements and trade receivables also fall within this category. 271

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Receivables are shown in the financial statements under items 60 Receivables from banks and 70 Receivables from customers, with the exception of trade receivables that cannot be retraced to business with customers, which are allocated to item 160 Other assets. 4.2 Recognition The initial recognition is carried out when the Group, as creditor, acquires the right to payment of the sums contractually agreed. This time coincides with the payment date in the case of loans and the settlement date in the case of debt securities. The asset is recognised at fair value, which is generally equal to the amount paid or to the purchase price, inclusive of costs and income directly traceable to the individual asset and determinable from the start of the transaction even if settled at a later date. Charges to be paid by the debtor and the company s normal internal administrative costs are not included. In the case of loans agreed under conditions other than those of the market, the fair value is determined using special valuation techniques and the difference between this value and the amount disbursed is recorded directly in the income statement. When recognition is the result of a reclassification of assets originally entered under those held to maturity or those held for trading and carried at fair value, in the exceptional cases in which such transfers are permitted in accordance with IAS 39, the recognition value is determined at the fair value of the instrument on the transfer date. Loans on negotiable securities and repurchase agreements with the obligation or entitlement to repurchase/ resell are entered in the financial statements as receivables and payables and the assets temporarily transferred are not derecognised. In particular, cash sale and forward repurchase agreements are recorded as payables for the amount received in cash and, vice versa, cash purchase and forward resale agreements are recorded as receivables for the amount paid in cash. 4.3 Measurement Following initial recognition, receivables are valued at the amortised cost, which is represented by the value at which they are initially recorded net of repayments, plus or minus any difference between the initial value and the value on maturity because of depreciation calculated in accordance with the criterion of effective interest and less any reduction due to a decrease in value or non-recoverability. Application of the effective interest rate enables, according to financial logic, distribution of the financial effect of a loan transaction to be spread evenly over its expected life. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts all future cash flows of the loan and establishes a current value corresponding to the amount disbursed, including all the transaction costs and income relating to it. The estimate of cash flows and the contractual duration of the loan take into consideration all the contractual terms that can influence the amounts and the expiry dates (such as early redemptions and the various options that may be exercised), without however considering the losses expected on the loan. Following initial recognition, for the whole life of the loan the amortised cost is determined by the continued application of the effective interest rate set at the start of the operation (original interest rate). This original interest rate does not vary over time and is also used in the case of any contractual amendment to the interest rate or events that have rendered the loan unproductive (due to insolvency proceedings for example). The amortised cost method is applied only to credit arrangements with an original term of at least eighteen months, on the assumption that the application of this method for shorter-term arrangements would have a negligible effect on the economic result. Loans with a duration of less than eighteen months and those that have no fixed maturity date or are revocable are therefore valued at cost. At the reference date for each annual account or interim position, the receivables are audited to identify those that show objective evidence of a loss in value due to events that occurred after they were initially recognised. The valuation procedures differ depending on whether non-performing or performing loans are involved. Non-performing loans are considered to be those to which the status of doubtful loans, watchlist loans, restructured loans or past due loans by more than 90 days has been attributed, according to current Bank of Italy guidelines. These non-performing loans are subject to a process of cost analysis that consists of discounting (at 272

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 the original effective interest rate) the expected cash flows for principal and interest, taking into account any guarantees backing the receivable. The negative difference between the current value of the loans determined in this way and its carrying amount (amortised cost) at the time of the valuation constitutes an adjustment that is entered in the income statement under item 130 sub-item a) Net impairment adjustments to receivables. The original value of the loans is reinstated in subsequent years only if the reasons that determined the recognition of the relating loss no longer apply. Write-backs are recorded up to an amount such as to assign the financial asset a value no higher than the value it would have had at that time as a result of applying the amortised cost without previous adjustments. Loans for which objective evidence of a loss has not been individually ascertained are subject to a process of collective valuation carried out by uniform credit risk categories, identified according to a matrix breakdown by customer segment and rating class assigned by the Credit Rating System (CRS) procedure of Cedacri (outsourcer UnipoBanca). The value of the latent loss for each uniform category is quantified by applying the probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) calculated on analyses and estimates made available by Cedacri on the basis of a consortium. The Group companies that do not use the outsourcer Cedacri, performing exposures and those subject to country risk are subject to a process of collective valuation carried out by uniform credit risk categories, identified according to a matrix breakdown by customer segment and product type. The value of the latent loss for each uniform category is quantified by applying percentage loss indices inferred by the trend analysis of historical series for the same category. 4.4 Derecognition The general criteria already stated for the other classification items apply. In particular, receivables sold are derecognised only if the assignment involves the substantial transfer of the risks and benefits relating to them. If this is not the case, receivables continue to be recorded in the financial statements even though their ownership has been legally transferred. It is assumed that all risks and benefits have been substantially transferred, if the assignment involves the transfer of at least 90% of them. Vice versa, it is assumed that all the risks and benefits are substantially maintained if the assignment involves the transfer of no more than 10% of them. If the assignment does not substantially involve the transfer or maintenance of the risks and benefits (in the event of the Group having retained a risks/benefits ratio of more than 10% but less than 90%), the receivables are derecognised if the Group does not retain any type of control over them. Otherwise, the existence of control over the assigned receivables determines that they remain in the financial statements in proportion to the extent of the residual involvement. The Group has still entered in the financial statements under this category all the receivables subject to securitisations carried out after 31 December 2003, regarding which it has essentially retained all the risks and benefits as a result of holding the junior securities issued by the SPVs. For further information on the handling of securitisations, see paragraph 18.2 below. 273

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5 Financial assets designated at fair value 5.1 Classification Any financial asset may be designated as measured at fair value at the time it is initially recognised (so-called fair value option), except for instruments representing capital for which active market prices are not recordable and the fair value of which cannot be reliably determined. Excluded from this category are derivatives and assets that belong to the trading portfolio, for which IAS 39 envisages the obligatory application of the fair value criterion. The Group has not classified any asset under this item. The recognition, valuation and derecognition criteria are similar to those for held-for-trading financial assets, with recording of profits and losses under the relevant item in the income statement (item 110 - Net result on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value). 6 Hedging transactions 6.1 Types of hedge According to IAS 39, hedging relationships can be of three types: a) fair value hedge: the aim is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of assets or liabilities, or part thereof, attributable to a particular risk, which could affect the income statement; b) cash flow hedge: the aim is to hedge the exposure to the variability of cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with assets or liabilities that could affect the income statement; c) hedging of a net investment in a foreign operation: the aim is to hedge the risks of an investment in a foreign company expressed in foreign currency. Only instruments traded with a counterparty outside the company or group of companies to which the financial statements refer can be considered to be hedging instruments. A relationship is described as a hedge and has consistent accounting representation if, and only if, all the following conditions are met: at the beginning of hedge there is a designation and formal documentation of the hedging relationship, the objectives of the company in the management of the risk and the strategy in carrying out the hedging. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the hedged risk and how the company evaluates the effectiveness of the hedging instrument in offsetting the exposure to the changes in fair value of the hedged item or the cash flows attributable to the hedged risk; the hedge is expected to be highly effective; as regards the hedging of cash flows, the planned transaction subject to the hedge is highly likely and presents an exposure to the changes in cash flows which could have an effect on the income statement; the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably evaluated; the hedge is assessed on the basis of a criterion of continuity and is considered to be highly effective for all the years for which the hedge was designated. At 31 December 2014, the Group had cash flow hedging transactions on its own floating rate bond issues and on securities entered in the portfolio of available-for-sale financial assets, as well as fair value hedging transactions on its own fixed rate bond issues. 6.2 Measurement Hedging financial derivatives, like all derivatives, are initially recognised and then measured at fair value and are classified in the asset item 80 Hedge derivatives and liability item 60 Hedge derivatives. 274

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The effects of the valuation are shown as follows: in the case of a fair value hedge: the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in the income statement and is offset by the change in fair value of the hedged item, for the quota attributable to the hedged risk, which must be entered in the income statement as a contra-entry to the recognition value of the hedged item; in the case of a cash flow hedge: the changes in fair value of the derivative are allocated to equity only for the quota of the hedge considered to be effective and are entered in the Income Statement in the year or years in which the hedged cash flows have an effect on the Income Statement or if the hedging is not effective; in the case of hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation: the same criteria envisaged for cash flow hedges apply. The effectiveness of the hedge is evaluated continuously on the reference date of each of the annual and interim financial statements. In particular, the evaluation is carried out on the basis of prospective and retrospective tests that measure the expected effectiveness of the hedging relationship and the effectiveness attained in the reference period and therefore justify the classification of the instrument as a hedging instrument. Hedging is considered to be effective when the change in fair value of the hedged instrument (or of the expected cash flows) is substantially offset by the change in the hedging instrument, in a ratio between the two variations which falls within the limits of a fixed interval of 80-125%. The accounting of the hedging is discontinued prospectively in the following cases: the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised; the hedge no longer meets the aforementioned criteria for hedge accounting; the company revokes the designation. If the hedging relationship is no longer effective or comes to an end, the hedging derivative, if it still exists, is classified amongst held-for-trading financial instruments and the hedged instrument is evaluated according to the measurement criteria corresponding to its classification in the financial statements. If the hedged instrument is an asset or liability evaluated according to the amortised cost criterion, the difference between the carrying amount of the hedged item at the moment hedging ceases the carrying amount it would have held if the hedge had never existed, is amortised in the income statement for the remaining life of the financial instrument. If the hedged item is sold or reimbursed, the fair value quota not amortised is recorded immediately in the income statement. If a cash flow hedge terminates or is no longer effective, profits or losses on the hedging instrument already shown in the equity must be transferred to the income statement in the year in which the cash flows originally hedged have an effect on the income statement or in the year in which it emerges that these cash flows are no longer expected. 7 Equity Investments The recognition and valuation criteria applied to equity investments are regulated by IFRS 10 (Consolidated financial statements), IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements), IFRS 12 (Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities), which replaced and integrated with effect from 1 January 2014 the provisions contained in this regard in IAS 27, 28 (both simultaneously issued in an amended manner) and 31; these criteria are set out in Section 3 - Scope and methods of consolidation in Part 1. The item includes interests in associated companies. The remaining equity investments, other than those in associated companies and subsidiaries (the Group has no joint ventures) are classified as available-for-sale assets. 275

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8 Property, plant and equipment 8.1 Classification The item includes property used for instrumental and investment purposes, technical systems, equipment, furniture and furnishings. These are assets held for functional purposes, to be used for more than one period in the production and supply of goods and services, either for investment purposes for rental to third parties or for the appreciation of the capital invested, or for both. 8.2 Recognition Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost, inclusive of all the expenses directly attributable to their entry into operation. Non-routine maintenance costs, which include an increase in future economic benefits, are recorded as an increase in the value of the assets, whilst the ordinary maintenance costs are recorded in the income statement. 8.3 Measurement After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment including investment property are entered at cost net of depreciation and losses in value. Non-current assets with a limited useful life are systematically depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. However, non-current assets with an unlimited useful life or those with a residual value equal to or higher than their carrying amount are not depreciated. The Bank does not, therefore, depreciate artistic assets. Should objective evidence of a reduction in value emerge, the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recovery value, and is recorded in the income statement. The value of the asset must be reinstated if the reasons that determined the recognition of the loss, for an amount no higher than the value it would have had, net of the calculated amortisation, without impairments, no longer apply. 8.4 Derecognition Property, plant and equipment are derecognised at the time of disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 9 Intangible assets 9.1 Classification Intangible assets are non-monetary assets, identifiable even if they have no physical solidity, from which future economic benefits are expected. Intangible assets include goodwill and the other intangible assets governed by IAS 38. 9.2 Recognition and measurement for 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 in the unification of different companies or company operations into a single firm, obliged to draw up financial statements. The result of almost all business combinations consists in the fact that only one company, the buyer, obtains control over one or more different company activities relating to the purchase. Goodwill is not subject to amortisation but is subject to impairment testing at least once a year, generally when 276

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 drafting the annual financial statements and always upon the occurrence of events that lead to the belief that the asset may have undergone a reduction in value. Any adjustments made to goodwill, even if the reasons that originated it no longer apply in subsequent years, cannot be rectified. 9.3 Recognition and measurement for other intangible assets Intangible assets other than goodwill are entered in the financial statements at purchase value, inclusive of any direct cost incurred for preparation to use them, net of accumulated amortisation and any losses in value. Intangible non-current assets are systematically amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which, for software, is estimated at an average three years. The Group holds no intangible non-current assets with an unlimited life. Should objective evidence of a reduction in value emerge, the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its recovery value, and is recorded in the income statement. The value of the asset must be reinstated if the reasons that determined the recognition of the loss, for an amount no higher than the value it would have had, net of the calculated amortisation, without impairments, no longer apply. 9.4 Derecognition An intangible asset is derecognised at the time of disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. 10 Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Non-current assets or groups of assets and associated liabilities for which a disposal process has been undertaken and the sale of which is considered highly likely are included under asset item 150 and liability item 90 (Liabilities associated with assets being disposed of). They are valued at the lesser between their carrying amount and their fair value net of sale costs. Income and charges, including the effects of the valuations, for these assets/liabilities are recorded under a special item in the income statement, net of the related tax effect. 11 Current and deferred taxation Income tax is recorded in the income statement, except that relating to items charged or credited directly to shareholders equity. The financial statements include the effects of deferred tax assets and liabilities deriving from temporary differences between carrying amounts and taxable values, in order to correctly show the charges for income tax on an accrual basis, irrespective of the actual cash flow. Deferred tax assets, except for those that can be transformed set forth in Italian Law 214/2011, are recorded in the financial statements under item 140 b) deferred tax assets, insofar as there is the likelihood of producing sufficient taxable income in future years to enable their recovery. Deferred tax liabilities are recorded under item 80 b) deferred tax liabilities. The offsetting between deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities may be carried out exclusively within the scope of the individual tax and with reference to that tax year. Offsetting is not carried out unless the year in which the taxes for the changes in taxable income were relevant can be determined with certainty. Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been quantified on the basis of the rates currently in force for future years. Changes in the deferred tax assets and related economic effects are detailed in the relevant sections of the Notes to the Financial Statements. For the 2014 tax period, Unipol Banca SpA exited the Group tax consolidation in that the expected requirements are no longer met, pursuant to Art. 117 et sequitur of Italian Presidential Decree 917/86 and of Italian Ministerial Decree 9/6/2004, as announced on 23 January 2014 by the consolidating company Finsoe Spa. 277

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also recognised under the tax item, calculated on the temporary differences between the annual and tax results (arising or discharged during the financial year), and on consolidation adjustments. Deferred tax assets proportionate to the extent in which such losses may be reasonably used against future IRES income are recognised in connection with tax losses before the period of validity of the tax consolidation. 12 Provisions for risks and charges The Group does not have pension funds and similar obligations. Other provisions for risks and charges are made up of allocations relating to current, legal or implicit obligations resulting from a past event, which will probably give rise to the disbursement of economic resources, the amount of which can be reliably estimated. The allocations are made on the basis of the best possible estimate of the expenses needed to fulfil the obligations. Provisions are measured at every reporting date and adjusted in order to reflect the best current estimate. They are recognised under the income statement items, according to a logic of classification of costs by type of expense. In particular, provisions related to future personnel expenses related to long-term benefits are recorded as personnel expenses, provisions for risks and charges of a tax-related nature are recognised as income taxes, whereas provisions related to the risk of potential losses not directly attributable to specific income statement items are recorded as net provisions for risks and charges. The amount of the estimated expenses is discounted at market rates if the effect of the deferment in time is significant. The provisions are periodically scrutinised and, if necessary, adjusted to reflect the best possible estimate. If, following re-examination, the expense becomes unlikely, the allocation is reversed. An allocation is only used to cover the expenses for which it was originally recorded. 13 Payables and securities outstanding 13.1 Classification The various technical forms of customer and inter-banking system deposits and funds are classified under the items Due to banks, Due to customers and Securities outstanding, along with funds raised by issuing bonds and other Securities outstanding, net of those that may be repurchased by the Group. Also included are the repurchase agreements and the liabilities matching assets assigned and not derecognised due to a lack of the conditions necessary for derecognition. This involves, in particular, the liabilities associated with the securitisations carried out from 1 January 2004. These liabilities (notes) are entered under Due to customers in the separate financial statements and, for the same amount, under Securities outstanding in the consolidated financial statements. 13.2 Recognition Initial recognition takes place on the date of settlement based on the fair value of the liabilities, which corresponds to the amount collected or the issue price, net of the directly attributable transaction costs. The mixed debt instruments connected with equity instruments, foreign currency, credit instruments or indices, are deemed to be structured instruments and recorded in the financial statements after separation of the incorporated derivative, should the conditions for this apply. The primary contract is attributed a value equal to the difference between the value collected and the fair value of the derivative separated. 278

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 13.3 Measurement After initial recognition, medium or long-term financial liabilities are entered at amortised cost based on the effective interest rate criterion. Short-term financial liabilities, on the other hand, continue to be recorded at the originally collected value, less any repayments. 13.4 Derecognition Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are paid off. The repurchase of treasury shares previously issued is assimilated to repayment and leads to derecognition of the liabilities. Any replacement on the market of repurchased treasury shares is similar to a new issue of financial instruments and is recorded in the financial statements on the basis of the new placement price. Public exchange offers relating to financial liabilities Paragraph 40 of IAS 39 envisages that an exchange of debt securities with substantially different contractual terms be carried as an extinction of the original financial liability, entering a new financial liability. As regards the definition of substantially different contractual terms, where the discounted value of cash flows according to the new terms (including any fee paid, net of any fee received and discounted in compliance with the effective original interest rate) differs by at least ten percent from the discounted value of the remaining cash flows of the original liability, paragraph AG62 of IAS 39 envisages their consideration as such. If an exchange of debt securities or a change in the terms is recorded as an extinction, any cost or fee sustained is recorded as part of the profit or loss connected with the extinction. If the exchange or amendment is not recorded as extinction, any cost or fee sustained adjusts the carrying amount of the liability and is aligned with the remaining term of the changed amended liability. In identifying the factors that can determine the presence of substantially different contractual terms, as currently accepted by best practices, qualitative factors are also taken into consideration and their presence can lead to the belief that the original liability is extinct and to the emission of a new debt security. The factors that can be used to identify the presence of such conditions include: diversity in the degree of subordination of the liabilities; diversity in the type of rate (fixed or floating); diversity in the currency in which the liability is issued; diversity in the risk profile of the liability; diversity in the lifespan of the liability. 14 Held-for-trading financial liabilities 14.1 Classification The item can include: a) derivatives that are not recorded as hedging items; b) financial liabilities issued with the intention of repurchasing them in the short term; c) financial liabilities that form part of a portfolio of financial instruments considered as a unit and for which there is evidence of an effective management strategy aimed at obtaining profit in the short term. The Group has classified under the item only the negative values for derivatives. 279

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 14.2 Recognition, measurement and derecognition All the financial liabilities included in this category are designated at fair value both at the time they are initially recognised and later during the life of the transaction, with the result of the valuation being charged to the income statement. Unless otherwise stated, the criteria for held-for-trading financial assets apply. 15 Financial liabilities designated at fair value Following a change to IAS 39, endorsed by European Union Regulation 1864 of 15 November 2005, it is also possible to apply the so-called fair value option to financial liabilities, designating the financial liabilities at the time they are initially recorded at fair value. This possibility is allowed as long as designation at fair value makes it possible to eliminate or significantly reduce a lack of uniformity which would otherwise result from valuation of assets and liabilities using different criteria, or if a group of liabilities or financial assets/liabilities were to be managed at fair value under an investment or risk management strategy documented internally to the Management Boards. The Group has not classified any liability under this item. The recognition, measurement and derecognition criteria are similar to those for Held-for-trading financial liabilities, with recognition of profits and losses in a special item in the income statement (item 110 - Net result on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value). 16 Transactions in foreign currency 16.1 Recognition Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded by applying the exchange rate current on the date of the transaction. 16.2 Measurement Periodically upon closing the financial statements and any interim positions, monetary entries in foreign currency are valued using the exchange rate current on the closing date, recognising profits and losses in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities designated at fair value are also converted using the exchange rate at the date of valuation, charging the differences to the income statement if they are available-for-sale assets/ liabilities. Non-monetary assets and liabilities entered at historic cost are, however, valued at the historical exchange rate. 17 Insurance assets and liabilities The Unipol Banca Group does not comprise companies that perform insurance activities, so there are no assets or liabilities of this kind in the consolidated financial statements. 280

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 18 Other information 18.1 Reclassification of financial assets As a result of the amendments to IAS 39 issued by the IASB and validated by the European Commission under EC Regulation 1004 of 15 October 2008, as of 2008 there have been other ways of reclassifying financial assets in addition to those previously allowed, which were limited to transfers between the categories of Held-tomaturity investments and Available-for-sale financial assets. The following ways of reclassifying assets are now also allowed. If a financial asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term (even though it may have been acquired or held mainly for sale or repurchase in the short term), it may be reclassified outside the fair value category booked to the income statement if the following requirements are met: the circumstances must be very unusual (par. 50B), or the asset to be reclassified would have come under the definition of loans and receivables (if it had not had to be classified as held for trading when initially recorded) and the entity has the intention and the ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or to maturity (par. 50D). A financial asset classified as available for sale that would have come under the definition of loans and receivables (if it had not been recognised as available for sale) may be reclassified from available for sale to loans and receivables if the entity has the intention and the ability to hold it for the foreseeable future or to maturity (par. 50E). If an entity reclassifies a financial asset outside of the fair value category entered in the income statement or outside of the available for sale category, it must reclassify it at its fair value on the date of reclassification and the profit or loss already recorded in the income statement must not be adjusted. The fair value of the financial asset on the date of reclassification becomes its new cost or amortised cost (par. 50C and 50F). In the case of a financial asset reclassified outside of the available for sale category, the previous profit or loss on the asset recorded in the equity directly must be amortised in the income statement throughout its remaining useful life using the effective interest criterion. If the entity has reclassified a financial asset outside of the fair value category recorded in the income statement or outside of the available for sale category, the following is part of the information that must be provided (IFRS 7): the amount reclassified from and to each category; for each year until it is eliminated from the financial statements, the carrying amount and the fair value of all financial assets reclassified during the current and preceding year; whether a financial asset has been reclassified in accordance with paragraph 50B, however unusual the situation, along with the facts and circumstances indicating the rarity of the situation; for the year in which the financial asset was reclassified, the fair value profit or loss on the asset; for each year following reclassification of the financial asset (including the year in which it was reclassified) until it is eliminated from the financial statements, the fair value profit or loss that would have been recorded if it had not been reclassified. Until 1 November 2008, the changes to IAS 39 made it possible, on an exceptional basis, to reclassify assets retroactively from 1 July 2008. Any reclassification carried out after 1 November 2008 takes effect only as of the date on which it is carried out. For information on reclassifications of financial assets carried out by the Group see Part A.3 Information on fair value. 281

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 18.2 Securitisations Since 2002, the Parent Company has carried out several securitisations under which it has assigned performing loan portfolios to vehicle companies set up for the purpose. None of the securitisations carried out meets the requirements for the assets assigned to be derecognised (reversed) since the Parent Company has retained almost all the risks and benefits of the assets assigned. For the operations completed after 31 December 2003 and before the transition to IAS, including the assignment of the first portfolio of receivables and the issue of the first series of notes carried out in December 2003 as part of a programme completed in the early months of 2005, the Parent Company has reversed the effects of the derecognition carried out by applying national accounting standards and has shown in the financial statements the economic-financial results of the vehicles relating to the managed portfolios, eliminating the notes held in the portfolio. Consequently, the Parent Company performs the line-by-line consolidation of the separate management of the vehicle companies in its separate financial statements, as happens in the consolidated financial statements. In the case of operations finalised after the transition to IAS, the Parent Company has not derecognised assets assigned and, as in the previous case, has shown in the financial statements the economic-financial results of the vehicles relating to the managed portfolios, eliminating the notes held in the portfolio. In the case of securitisations finalised by 31 December 2003 in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 27 of IFRS 1, the Parent Company had maintained the effects of the derecognition carried out by 31 December 2003 under the national standards applicable at the time. These particularly affected two securitisations that were both redeemed - the first in 2007 and the second in 2008 - because the option to repurchase the receivables originally assigned was exercised. The receivables repurchased were recorded in the financial statements on the basis of their fair value on the repurchase date. 18.3 Treasury shares Any treasury shares held are allocated to reduce shareholders equity. If they are subsequently resold, the difference between the sale price and the related repurchase value is allocated directly as a contra-entry to equity, net of the related tax effect. 18.4 Post-employment benefits Post-employment benefits (TFR) are governed by IAS 19 Employee benefits. In particular, they fall within the category of benefits subsequent to the employment relationship, which IAS 19 distinguishes as defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. The reform of the welfare system, governed by Legislative Decree 252/05, effective as from 1 January 2007, envisages that employers in the private sector, with the exclusion of companies with less than 50 employees, must pay all of the post-employment benefits maturing, not assigned to supplementary pension schemes, to a Fund called the Fund for disbursement of post-employment benefits to employees in the private sector as stated in Art. 2120 of the Civil Code, managed by INPS on behalf of the State. This means that the contributions that matured and were due to mature after 31 December 2006 are transferred to external bodies and are entered as a cost at a sum equal to the amount due for each year. The obligation with regard to employees for the portion of post-employment benefits accrued up to 31 December 2006, entered in the financial statements as a liability, must not be transferred to external bodies, as stated in the aforementioned Decree, and was therefore quantified using actuarial techniques and updated on the reporting date by using the so-called Projected unit credit method (accrued benefit method prorated on service). Actuarial gains or losses related to the post-employment benefits are recognised as Other comprehensive income components. The discounting of future cash flows are carried out on the basis of the market yield curve, recognised at the end of the year, of corporate bonds issued by issuers of high credit standing. The service cost and net interests are recorded in the separate income statement. Net interests are calculated by applying the 1-year interest rate taken from the yield curve used for discounting the liabilities at the end of the previous financial year to the net value of the post-employment benefits at the beginning of the year. 282

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 18.5 Costs for improvements to third-party assets The costs of restructuring leased property are capitalised in consideration of the fact that, throughout the term of the leasing contract, the lessee company has control of the assets and draws future economic benefits from them. The aforementioned costs are classified under Other assets in the financial statements and not under Property, plant and equipment, in compliance with the instructions of the Bank of Italy, as these costs do not in themselves constitute identifiable and separable assets. Capitalised charges of this kind are amortised on the basis of their useful life, estimated over six years equal to the term of the leasing contract. 18.6 Guarantees issued and commitments Guarantees issued and commitments are valued analytically and collectively in a way similar to that used to evaluate receivables. The allocations aligned to the possible disbursements connected with the credit risks are recorded in the financial statements under Other liabilities in compliance with the instructions of the Bank of Italy and are offset in item 130.d) of the income statement Net impairment adjustments to other financial assets. 18.7 Revenues recognition and costs Revenues from the sale of goods or the provision of services are recorded in the financial statements at the fair value of the sum received, subject to compliance with the following terms: the company has transferred the risks and returns associated with the sale of goods or the provision of services to the buyer; the value of the income can be reliably determined; it is probable that financial returns will be received by the company. Costs and revenues will be recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the accrual principle; in particular: accrued interest income and expense is recorded using a time-based criterion that considers the actual return on the assets and liabilities; commissions are recorded according to accrual; costs are recorded in the income statement in the periods in which the associated income is recorded. Dividends are entered in the income statement in the period in which their distribution is decided. 18.8 Business combinations A business combination consists of the unification of separate companies or company activities in a single subject required to draw up financial statements. A merger can create an investment link between the Parent Company that is buying and the subsidiary that is bought. Under these circumstances, the buyer applies IFRS 3 (Business combinations) in the consolidated financial statements, while it records the interest acquired as an investment in a subsidiary in the separate financial statements, applying IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. A merger can also envisage the purchase of the net assets of another entity, including any goodwill, or the purchase of the capital of another entity (mergers, grants, acquisitions of business branches). This type of merger does not translate into the same kind of relationship as that between parent and subsidiary and, therefore, IFRS 3 applies, also in the buyer s separate financial statements. On the basis of the provisions of IFRS 3, business combinations have to be recorded applying the purchase method that envisages the following phases: identification of the buyer; determination of the business combination cost; and allocation, on the acquisition date, of the business combination cost to the assets acquired and to the liabilities, including the contingent liabilities undertaken. 283

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Business combinations between jointly controlled entities Business combinations between parties subject to joint control do not fall within the scope of application of IFRS 3 (Business combinations). In the absence of references to specific IFRS standards or interpretations for such operations, reference is made to Assirevi OPI 1 Accounts of the business combination of entities under common control in the financial statements and in the consolidated financial statements, which highlights, in general terms, that the financial statements have to provide a reliable portrayal of the transactions, stating the economic substance. Assirevi OPI 1, therefore, states that, for transactions without significant influence of the future cash flows of the net assets transferred, the standard applicable is that of the continuity of the values. The application of the continuity of values gives rise to the recognition in the statement of financial position of the separate financial statements of values equal to those that would result if the companies being combined had always been merged. In substance, the net assets of the acquired entity and of the acquiring entity must be recognised at their carrying amounts that they had in the respective accounts before the transaction. With respect to these considerations it is, therefore, possible to identify two kinds of transactions and different accounting methods: transactions with a significant influence on future cash flows; these transactions are recorded at their fair value, which corresponds to the sum exchanged. Any difference between the prices of the transaction and the carrying amount is entered in the income statement; transactions without a significant influence on future cash flows; these transactions are recorded on the basis of the continuity of values. In this case, applying the continuity of values, the company recorded values on the Statement of Financial Position equal to those that would result if the companies subject to merger had always been joined. The net assets of the entity acquired and of the acquiring entity were, therefore, recorded at the carrying amounts that they had in the respective accounts before the transaction. If the transfer values are higher than the historic values, the excess must be reversed, reducing the shareholders equity of the acquiring company, with the recording of a special reserve in its financial statements. A.3 Information on transfers between portfolios of financial assets This paragraph provides the information required by IFRS 7 when financial assets have been reclassified during the current year or previous years for as long as the asset is recorded under assets. As a result of the liquidity crisis in the financial markets in autumn 2008, the Group transferred debt securities with a total value of 74,824k from the category of heldfortrading assets, effective from 1 July 2008, 58,382k being reclassified as loans and receivables and 16,442k as available-for-sale financial assets. The table below shows the carrying amounts and the fair value of the securities reclassified and still in the portfolio and the effects on comprehensive income. 284

The columns relating to income components recorded during the year (before tax) show the income components that were actually recorded in the income statement or in the shareholders equity.

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements A.4 Information on fair value Qualitative information A.4.1 Levels of fair value 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used Regulation no. 1255/2012 approved IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which was effective as from 1 January 2013. IFRS 13 provides guidance on how to measure the fair value of financial instruments and of non-financial assets and liabilities already requested or allowed by the other IFRS accounting standards. This standard: defines fair value; sets out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value; requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an ordinary transaction or the price paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction in the main market of reference under the current conditions at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value measurement assumes that the transaction related to the sale of the assets or to the transfer of the liabilities may occur: in the main listing market; in the absence of the main listing market, the most advantageous market for the assets and liabilities to be measured. When a market price is unobservable, an entity is required to mainly use valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The IFRS 13 standard defines also a fair value hierarchy depending on the degree of observability of the inputs contained in the valuation techniques used for determining the fair value. The IFRS 13 accounting standard governs the fair value measurement and the relevant disclosure also for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position. For these assets and liabilities, the fair value is calculated for the purposes of disclosure in the financial statements. Moreover, since these assets and liabilities are not traded in general, the calculation of their fair value is mainly based on the use of internal inputs not directly observable on the market, with the sole exception of listed securities classified as Held-to-maturity investments. 286

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Fair value measurement standards The following table shows briefly the methods for calculating the fair value for the different macro categories of financial instruments, loans and properties. Financial Instruments Bonds Shares and listed equity inv., ETF Shares and unlisted equity investments Listed derivatives Mark to Market Contributor CBBT - Bloomberg Other contributor - Bloomberg Reference market Reference market Mark to Model and other Mark to Model Counterparty valuation DCF DDM Multiples Receivables Property OTC derivatives UCITS Net Asset Value Mark to Model Receiv. from cust. (Mark to Model) Other receivables (Carrying amount) Assessment value In compliance with the IFRS 13 standard, in order to calculate the fair value of the financial instruments, in the presence of instruments dealt with in a liquid and active market, the market price is used (Mark to Market). Liquid and active market means: a) the regulated market where the instrument to be measured is traded and regularly listed; b) the multilateral trading system (MTF, mercato telematico dei fondi - electronic funds market) where the instrument to be measured is traded or regularly listed; c) the pricing and transactions carried out on a regular basis or with transactions at high frequency and with low bid / offer spread, by an authorised intermediary (hereinafter contributor ). In the absence of availability of prices on a liquid and active market, valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs are used. These methods are summarised in mark-to-model valuations, valuations by the counterparty or carrying amount valuations with regard to certain categories of non-financial assets. Mark to Market valuations With reference to shares, listed equity investments, ETFs and listed derivatives, the Mark to Market valuation corresponds to the official valuation price of the reference market. With reference to bonds, the sources used for the Mark to Market valuation of financial assets and liabilities are set below: a) The primary source is represented by the CBBT price provided by the data provider Bloomberg; b) if the price in the previous point is not available, the validated internal scoring model is used: it allows to select the liquid and active contributors on the basis of some defined parameters. With reference to UCITS, the source used is the Net Asset Value. 287

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Mark to Model valuations The valuation methods (Mark to Model) used by the Group are in line with the methods generally used by the market. The objective of the models for the fair value measurement is to obtain a value for the financial instrument that complies with the assumptions that the market participants would use when formulating a price, assumptions that also concern the risk implicit in a particular valuation technique and/or in the inputs used. For correct Mark to Model valuation of each instrument category, appropriate and consistent valuation models as well as the parameters of the reference market need to be defined in advance. The list of the main models used within the Unipol Group for the Mark to Model pricing related to financial instruments is set below: Securities and derivatives on interest rates Discounted cash flows; Black; Black-Derman-Toy; Hull & White 1,2 factors; Libor Market Model; Longstaff & Schwartz; Kirk. Securities and derivatives on inflation Discounted cash flows; Jarrow-Yildirim. Securities and derivatives on shares, indexes and exchange rates Discounted cash flows; Black Scholes. Securities and credit derivatives Discounted cash flows; Hazard rate models. The main observable market parameters used for carrying out the Mark to Model valuations are set below: interest rate curve by currency of reference interest-rate volatility surfaces by currency of reference; CDS spread or Asset Swap spread curves of the issuer; inflation curve by currency of reference; foreign exchange rates of reference; exchange-rate volatility surfaces; volatility surfaces on shares or indexes; reference prices of shares; inflation curve of reference. The main unobservable market parameters used for carrying out the Mark to Model valuations are set below: correlation matrixes between exchange rate and risk factor; historical volatility; curve spread benchmarks constructed for measuring bond instruments of issuers for which no prices of the bonds issued or CDS curves are available; credit risk parameters such as the recovery rate; delinquency or default rates and prepayment curves for ABS financial instruments. 288

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 With reference to the bonds, where it is not possible, also on the basis of the results of the Scoring Model, to measure an instrument with the Mark to Market model, the fair value is assigned based on the Mark to Model valuations. Based on the characteristics of the instrument, different valuation models indicated above are used. With reference to OTC derivatives, models consistent with the risk factor underlying the contract itself are used. The fair value of interest-rate OTC derivatives and inflation-linked OTC derivatives is measured on the basis of Mark to Model valuations implementing the rules provided by IFRS 13. As regards to OTC derivatives on which a collateralisation agreement is envisaged (Credit Support Annex) between the companies of the Unipol Group and the authorised market counterparties, the EONIA (Euro OverNight Index Average) discount curve can be used. In the case of non-collateralised derivatives, CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) and DVA (Debit Valuation Adjustment) adjustment can be used. On 31 December 2014, all the positions existing on derivatives referred to collateralised contracts for which CSA agreements exist between the traded counterparties. With reference to unlisted shares and equity investments for which there is no market price or assessment drawn up by an independent expert, the valuations are mainly carried out on the basis of (i) capital ratios, (ii) methods that consider the discounting of income flows or financial flows such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) or Dividend Discount Model (DDM) in the version called excess capital, (iii) or applicable methods based on market multiples. With reference to unlisted UCITS, Private Equity and Hedge Funds, the fair value is expressed as the Net Asset Value at the reporting date provided directly by the directors of the funds. With reference to receivables from banking customer portfolio, the fair value is assigned based on Mark to Model valuations using the Discounted Cash Flow method with a discount rate adjusted to the counterparty and transaction risk. For the other receivables, the Carrying amount is used. With reference to property, the fair value measurement is measured depending on assessment value calculated by the independent surveyors consistent with the provisions of the current legislation. Valuations by the Counterparty Financial assets and liabilities that do not fall under the instruments Mark to Market valued and for which there are no consistent valuation models validated for the purposes of fair value measurement are measured on the basis of the valuations provided by the counterparties that can be consulted for the liquidation of the position. Fair value measurement on a recurring basis Process for fair value measurement on a recurring basis The valuation of the financial instruments is preparatory to the monitoring of the risk, to the integrated management of assets and liabilities and the preparation of separate financial statements. The fair value measurement on a recurring basis of the financial instruments is broken down in different phases and is carried out by the Risk Management Department on the basis of measurement criteria defined in the previous paragraph. 289

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Fair Value measurement on a recurring basis by means of unobservable parameters (Level 3) In the level 3 classification of financial assets and liabilities, a prudential approach is followed; this category mainly includes the following types of financial instruments: unlisted equity securities or investments for which there is no market price or assessment drawn up by an independent expert; the valuations are carried out on the basis of the previously indicated methods; units of private equity funds, hedge funds and unlisted UCITS for which the information related to financial instruments held in the relevant portfolios is not available and that as such could include financial instruments assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters; bonds assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (correlations, curve spread benchmark, recovery rate); bonds assessed with price from counterparty at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters; ABS bonds for which a Mark to Market measurement is not available; derivative instruments assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (correlations, volatility, estimates of dividends); bonds that do not meet the requirements defined in the scoring test (see paragraph Mark to Market Valuations ) and for which a Mark to Model valuation is not possible. Fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis and in compliance with disclosure requirements of other principles Consistent with the accounting standard IFRS 13, the fair value is measured also for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the statement of financial position and when the information on fair value must be provided in the additional information notes in accordance with other international accounting standards. Since these assets and liabilities are not traded in general, the calculation of their fair value is mainly based on the use of internal inputs not directly observable on the market. This category mainly includes the following types of instruments: bond issues measured at Mark to Market (level 1); bond issues and loans assessed at Mark to Model by using unobservable parameters (curve spread benchmark) (level 3); short-term payables with a duration of less than 18 months and Certificates of deposit measured at amortised cost (level 3); receivables from customers measured according to the following principles (level 3): -- receivables with a duration of more than 18 months (MLT receivables) valued at Mark to Model with a discounting method of cash flows for the principal and interest component. For MLT receivables, the discount rate used depends on the risk free rate plus a risk premium determined on the operation by means of the Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) parameters. These parameters are obtained from the Cedacri Credit Rating System (CRS) application and were estimated on the basis of a consortium. The cumulated probabilities of default (PD) are calculated through the application of a Markovian process to the one-year transition matrixes, whereas the LGD is considered constant throughout the time horizon; -- non-performing loans valued at amortised cost net of analytical valuations; -- receivables with a duration of less than 18 months measured at amortised cost; other receivables measured at carrying amount (level 3); investment property measured depending on assessment value calculated by the independent surveyors consistent with the provisions of the current legislation. The logic of assignment of the survey mandates contemplates a non-exclusive assignment of assets and a three-year rotation in the assignment of surveyors. 290

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 A.4.2 Processes and sensitivity of measurements With reference to assets designated at fair value on a recurring basis and belonging to Level 3, the stress on non-observable parameters is carried out with reference to financial instruments valued at Mark to Model and on which the valuation is carried out through one or more non-observable parameters. On 31 December 2014, the portion of financial assets designated on a recurring basis and belonging to Level 3 amounted to 83.8m. 84% of this portfolio consists of unlisted equity securities and UCITS that were not subject to stress on unobservable inputs. The remaining portion of 16% consists of unlisted bonds that are characterised by a sensitivity irrelevant to unobservable inputs. A.4.3 Fair value hierarchy Assets and liabilities designated at fair value are classified on the basis of the hierarchy defined by the IFRS 13 accounting standard. The aim of this classification is to establish a fair value hierarchy depending on the degree of discretion used, giving priority to the use of parameters observable on the market in that able to reproduce the assumptions that the market participants would use when pricing the assets and liabilities. The classification is based on the criterion used for measuring the fair value, (Mark to Market, Mark to Model, Counterparty) and on the observability of the parameters used, in the case of Mark to Model valuation. Level 1: this category includes the assets and liabilities valued at Mark to Market with source the CBBT price and the prices from the contributor having the minimum requirements that guarantee that such prices are executable on active markets; Level 2: this category includes the assets and liabilities valued at Mark to Market but that cannot be classified under the previous category and the assets whose fair value is measured by a consistent pricing model supported by parameters observable on the market; Level 3: this category includes the assets and liabilities for which the estimate variability of the pricing model can be significant because of the complexity of the payoff or, if a consistent and validated model is available, the parameters required for the valuation are unobservable. Moreover, this category includes the bonds that do not meet the requirements defined in the scoring test (see paragraph Mark to Market Valuations ) and for which a Mark to Model valuation is not possible. Finally, this category also includes receivables and investment property. A.4.4 Other information On the reporting date, there was no information to be reported pursuant to IFRS 13, paragraphs 51, 93 letter (i) and 96. 291

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Part E Information on risks and related hedging policies Foreword In the Unipol Group, the Risk Management department is part of the broader internal control and risk management system that operates on three levels: line checks (assigned to the operational units); controls on risks and on compliance (Risk Management, Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering, etc); Internal Audit. The Internal control and risk management system is an essential element of the corporate governance as a whole; it comprises a set of rules, procedures and organisational structures that aim at ensuring: efficiency and effectiveness of business processes; adequate control of current and future risks; prevention of the risk that the company is involved, even unintentionally, in illegal activities with particular reference to those related to money laundering, usury and terrorist financing: monitoring the implementation of strategies and corporate policies; safeguarding of company assets and the good management of that held on behalf of customers; reliability and integrity of accounting and management information and IT procedures; the adequacy and timeliness of the reporting system of corporate information; the compliance of the activity of the company and of transactions put in place on behalf of customers with the law, supervisory regulations, self-regulations and internal provisions of the company. This system is an integral part of the company and permeates all its sectors and structures, involving all resources, each by level of competence and responsibility, in order to ensure a constant and effective supervision of risks. Within the scope of the internal control and risk management system, the Unipol Banca Group has set up a risk management system that allows adequate understanding of the nature and importance of the risks to which the Company is exposed and allows to have a single point of view and a holistic approach to risk management, which is an integral part of business management. The risk management process defined within the System of risk management involves the following stages: identification of risks, current and future assessment of risk exposure, monitoring of risk exposure and mitigation of risks. These stages are carried out on a continuous basis to take account both of the changes that have occurred to the nature and size of the business and to the market context, and of the onset of new risks or the change in existing risks. An important component of the risk management system is represented by management policies of specific risks. These policies establish the adequate guidelines for the direction of the identification, assessment, monitoring and mitigation of risks and the operating limits in line with the defined Risk Appetite. The Risk Management Department of Unipol Banca is part of Unipol Banca s Head Office and reports to the Risk Management Department of the Parent Company, UGF S.p.A. As part of the risk governance role, the head of the Bank s Risk Management Department is in constant contact with the Risk Management Department of the Parent Company, UGF and with the other departments of Unipol Banca and the subsidiaries, in order to ensure that risk management policies and risk governance are applied uniformly and consistently at Group level. Moreover, the Risk Management department: is involved in defining the RAF, risk controlling policies and the different phases that form their management process as well as fixing the operating limits to the assumption of various types of risk; verifies the adequacy of the RAF; verifies continuously the adequacy of the management process of risks and operating limits; monitors the development, validation and maintenance of risk measurement and control systems ensuring that they are subject to regular backtesting, that an appropriate number of scenarios are analysed and that conservative assumptions on branches and on correlations are used; ensures the consistency of risk measurement and control systems with processes and valuation techniques of company activities, in coordination with other company departments concerned; develops and applies indicators that are able to highlight situations of failure and inefficiency of the risk measurement and control systems; analyses the risks of new products and services and those deriving from the entry in new operating and market segments; 348

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 expresses opinions in advance on the compliance with RAF of most significant transactions, by acquiring, if possible, depending on the type of operation, the opinion of other departments involved in the risk management process; monitors constantly the actual risk assumed by the Company and its compliance with the risk objectives as well as the compliance with the operating limits assigned to the operating structures in relation to the assumption of various types of risk; verifies proper execution of performance scoring on individual exposures; checks the adequacy and efficacy of the measures adopted to remedy the shortfalls noted in the risk management process; prepares the reporting for the managers of the operating structures, company committees and for the Board of Directors, relating to the monitoring of the risks and limits defined in the risk-taking and risk management policies. For the purposes of disseminating the culture of risk, the continuous comparison with the Management and with each Business unit has a key role, also by participating directly to different company committees in addition to the adoption of taxonomies common to other control structures. In particular, the bank completed the structure of the joint database with the support of the MEGA GRC platform that will make it possible to give a common focus to the risk management and control system with the other control governance and Organisation and Operations departments. Moreover, business processes will be gradually mapped with the support of the joint database. The structured activity of adequacy assessment of the risk assumption and management process was carried out on an annual basis during ICAAP, whose purpose is to raise awareness on the governance of relevant risks. Moreover, the Risk Self Assessment process (hereinafter RSA) carried out for the purposes of assessment of operating risks, due to its nature, places the interlocutors, responsible for business and administrative processes, in front of the risks of their activities disseminating the culture of risk itself given the pervasiveness of operational risk. The activity of RSA in the Unipol Banca Group is implemented in meetings with different risk owners of Unipol Banca and with the Chief Executive Officer of the subsidiary companies for the assessment of operational risks in terms of frequency, impact and the worst case. Section 1 Credit Risk Qualitative Information General aspects The following events characterised 2014: maintenance in line with previous years of attention on the quality of the Group s loan portfolio, both with regard to granting, completion/acquisition of guarantees and with regard to monitoring; adoption of the risk parameters of the PD and LGD models for the calculation of the collective write-downs of performing loans. 349

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Credit risk management policies 2.1 Organisational aspects Further refinement of the IT tools for managing the lending procedure made available by the IT outsourcer CEDACRI as part of a continuous procedure of improvement of the process itself. As regards the management of the group s loan portfolio quality and particularly the monitoring, use of the LMP Loan Monitoring Procedure was consolidated and implemented in organisational terms by starting a project for further improving the credit management process from the first anomalies. In particular, a further response to Credit Monitoring (of Management and Area) and a more pronounced separation - also in Areas - of granting and monitoring activities is contemplated. 2.2 Management, measuring and monitoring systems Credit risk is governed by the principles defined in the Credit Policy Group: this document defines, in particular, the guidelines for the taking and monitoring of the credit risk in order to ensure global exposure to the individual counterparty, in line with the risk appetite expressed in the Group s strategic objectives, guaranteeing adequate diversification of the portfolio. The Credit Policy defines: the types of customer and transaction deemed suitable for granting credit, also in line with the criteria set out in the Sustainability Report of the Unipol Group; the general principles with which the credit risk underwriting policy must comply can be summarised as follows: -- reduction of the weight of large concentrations on single counterparties, groups or sectors, or on high risk counterparties based on internal rating models; -- development of banking and insurance business with the SME and retail segments, which prioritises the granting of traditional credit facilities; the main roles and duties of the organisational structures, to ensure observance of the provisions of the Credit Policy; the roles and responsibilities in the risk monitoring process at Group level, i.e. of the Board of Directors, which is required to approve the general guidelines of the process, and those of the Executive Committee, the Group Credit Risk Committee and the Risk Management Department, and their relations with the various structures of the individual Group companies; the functions of the Group Credit Risk Committee, paying particular attention to its responsibility for monitoring major exposures, reporting to Senior Management and suggesting possible risk mitigation actions. The trend in credit risk is currently monitored using traditional indicators, paying particular attention to the largest debts and to the sectors of greatest concentration. The credit rating models for companies and private customers developed by the IT outsourcer CEDACRI with the support of the consulting company Prometeia, were used to measure the credit risk in 2014. The previous rating models supplied by the same outsourcer continued to be used for some residual segments. Finally, together with the retail counterparty rating, the CRIF scoring systems were used during the disbursement. 2.3 Credit risk mitigation techniques Lending focused on traditional transactions in 2014, with the emphasis being placed on SME/small business counterparties. For private customers, as in previous years new transactions mainly concerned home mortgages. Corporate loans were granted mainly in support of manufacturing cycles (releasing credit). General debt rescheduling transactions were confirmed as particularly important during 2014, largely due to the on-going economic crisis affecting most sectors, particularly property. 350

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 As regards risk mitigation techniques, the Group used traditional forms of guarantee recognised by the sector (mortgage guarantees, repossession guarantees and sureties), also trying to activate CONFIDI guarantees, where possible. In order to reduce the Residual Risk, mortgage guarantees and actions to monitor them are particularly important. To this end, the prudential regulatory provisions for banks (Bank of Italy Circular 285) have been implemented. The fluctuation in the values of the financial instruments used to guarantee lines of credit granted (mainly government bonds, bonds issued by the Bank and policies) is being monitored. 2.4 Non-performing financial assets The group classifies receivables on the basis of regulatory provisions issued by the Bank of Italy in line with the International Accounting Standards. In particular, the Bank included the following customers in the definition and quantification of its non-performing portfolio: a) those in a state of insolvency (even if this has not been legally ascertained) or in similar situations (doubtful loans); b) those in temporary objective difficulty (watchlist loans) or persistently in arrears, as established by the Supervisory Instructions in relation to particular technical forms of loan (objective watchlist loans); c) those subject to debt-restructuring agreements, following a deterioration in the economic-financial conditions of the counterparty (restructured loans); d) those with past due loans as defined by law (past due loans and objective watchlist loans). The management of critical positions was reinforced with the organisational implementations already mentioned above. In addition to managing the non-performing portfolio, organisational efforts focused on prevention, trying to identify (and resolve) anomalies as soon as they arise in order to protect the credit ratios of the Bank and of its subsidiaries. 351

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 B.4 Large exposures Information not applicable please see section 2 - Own funds and regulatory ratios - for more details. C. Securitisations C.1 Securitisations Qualitative information In the period from 2001 to 2012, the Bank carried out a total of eight performing loan securitisations, all arising from loans granted independently, where the first two had already been fully paid off in 2007-2008. The operation carried out in 2012 is excluded from this section in that it is defined as a self-securitisation, under the supervisory regulations issued by the Bank of Italy and carried out after 30 November 2008, since the bank subscribed, at the time they were issued, and still holds at the close of the year all the ABS securities issued by the vehicle company; its main features will be summarised at the end of this section. The operations carried out in 2009 and 2011, included initially in this last category, became part of this section as a result of the assignment to third parties of the ABS securities fully subscribed at the time they were issued by the Bank. While on the subject of these regulations, it should be mentioned that the fifth securitisation, under which the bank also subscribed all the ABS securities at the time they were issued by the vehicle company, was carried out by the deadline of 30 November 2008 and under Bank of Italy provisions is therefore classified as a grandfathered self-securitisation and dealt with in this section. The transactions were carried out with a view to diversifying types of funding, improving the correlation between customer deposits and loan maturities. In all transactions, also other than self-securitisations, Unipol Banca has always subscribed and still holds all the junior notes issued under the various securitisation programmes and not yet repaid. Thus the risk relating to the assets assigned remains with the parent bank which, as servicer, will regularly monitor performance and provide reports. In addition to the junior notes, the Bank also holds some of the higher-priority notes (senior and mezzanine, if any) that were not placed on the market at the time of issue or were subsequently repurchased. At the same time, we provide also the situation of the ratings assigned by the various agencies to the ABS securities, compared to the original, almost everywhere unchanged compared to the previous financial year. As already indicated in Part A Accounting Policies, in the case of operations still in existence, all completed after 31 December 2003, the assets assigned continued to appear in the financial statements, as essentially the risk was not transferred to third parties. There follows a descriptive analysis of each of the operations still in existence during 2014. 1. Securitisation scheme carried out through Grecale ABS Srl, launched in December 2003 issue on the market in April 2005 following repackaging through Castoro RMBS Srl (Grecale ABS Securitisation 2) In December 2003, a securitisation scheme was signed in which the maximum amount of securities to be issued totalled 750m and that was to be carried out within an initial warehousing period of one year, which was then extended until April 2005. Under this scheme, organised in collaboration with ABN AMRO N.V. acting as arranger and with Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese Spa as co-arranger, three assignments of receivables were made, funded by Grecale ABS issuing three series of securities, divided into only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. Assignments of receivables after the first assignment have been partly financed, up to the available amount, with principal funds derived from the income collected from receivables previously assigned. All assignments of receivables carried out in the warehousing period form a single portfolio in the interests of the holders of the securities issued, according to the priorities set between the various classes of securities but with no differentiation between the various series of securities within the same class. The receivables assigned come from performing residential mortgage loans issued by Unipol Banca, also as a result of acquisition of branches from other banks, granted to private customers residing in Italy (North Italy 51%, 361

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Central Italy 32% Southern Italy and Islands 17%), secured by first degree or equivalent mortgages, with a ratio between residual debt and property value as determined by an expert valuation of no more than 80%. Overall receivables with a total principal value of 678,084k were assigned for 727,004k. Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 2 Year 2003 Year 2004 Amount Assignment price - principal 270,693 407,391 678,084 Assignment price - interest 569 431 1,000 Assignment price - premium 20,302 27,618 47,920 Total 291,564 435,440 727,004 Grecale ABS financed the purchase by issuing two classes of securities, split into three series, with a total nominal value equal to the amount of the receivables, net of the funds available from receipts of collections from the mortgages. The following table summarises the main characteristics of the securities issued. Securities issued by Grecale ABS Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Rating Nominal amount Senior 28/01/2041 3m Euribor + 40b.p. n/r 618,000 Junior 28/01/2041 1% + variable return n/r 81,528 Total 699,528 During the warehousing period the senior notes were subscribed through private placement by an independent SPV (Tulip Asset Purchase Company B.V. registered in Amsterdam) and the junior notes were subscribed by Unipol Banca. In April 2005, all the securities issued by Grecale ABS were transferred to the SPV Castoro RMBS Srl, which funded the purchase by issuing three classes, were repackaged. The following table shows the main features of the securities issued by Castoro RMBS. 362

Unipol Banca subscribed the entire amount of junior notes (Class C) after transferring to Castoro RMBS the junior notes issued by Grecale ABS. Unipol Banca subsequently purchased Class B notes issued by Castoro for a nominal value of 4m, as well as Class A notes issued by Castoro for a nominal value (on issue) of 35m; the Class A notes already repaid at the close of the year were approximately 90% of their nominal value on issue as seen in the table below. The three classes of securities feature increasing degrees of subordination, with absolute preference in favour of the Class A securities, on which principal repayment began in October 2006. The residual value to be repaid on the Castoro notes is set out below: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 622,500 87,743 62,854 Class B notes 26,000 26,000 26,000 Class C notes 51,678 51,678 51,678 Total 700,178 165,421 140,532 The transaction as a whole is a pass through type, the entire mortgage loan portfolio of Grecale ABS is collateral for the holders of securities issued by Castoro and all the inward cash flows of Grecale ABS are transferred to Castoro RMBS separately for the principal and interest portions. RBS (which took over the activities of ABN AMRO Bank) puts at the disposal of the Castoro vehicle a line of liquidity of an amount initially totalling 19.5m; to date, this line has decreased, according to the decrease of the residual value of the Notes to be redeemed, to the minimum amount of 9.7m and has never been used. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting Castoro. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contract, the SPV receives from the counterparty 3-month Euribor and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 3.75%, 6-month Euribor + 3bps and 3-month Euribor on notional amounts corresponding to the portion of the mortgage loan portfolio indexed to these parameters. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. In 2014, the securitisation recorded that one of the trigger events envisaged in the regulations, relating to the percentage ratio between the delinquent loans and the residual loan amount, had been exceeded; this event caused a suspension of the payment, but not the accrual, of interest on the class C junior notes, producing also a movement of flows from the interest to the principal, which will help speed up the process of redeeming the senior notes. 363

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Securitisation scheme carried out through Grecale ABS Srl launched in December 2004 issue on the market in May 2006 following repackaging through Atlante Finance Srl (Grecale ABS Securitisation 3) In December 2004, another securitisation scheme was launched, in which the initial maximum amount of securities to be issued totalled 1,050m, later raised to 1,700m, to be completed within a one-year warehousing period expiring in December 2005, later extended to May 2006. During this scheme, organised in collaboration with ABN AMRO N.V. as arranger and Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese Spa and Nomura International plc as co-arrangers, five assignments of receivables were made, funded by Grecale ABS by issuing several series of notes, divided into only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. Assignments of receivables after the first assignment have been partly financed, up to the available amount, with principal funds derived from the income collected from receivables previously assigned. All assignments of receivables carried out in the warehousing period form a single portfolio in the interests of the holders of the securities issued, according to the priorities set between the various classes of securities but with no differentiation between the various series of securities within the same class. The receivables assigned come from performing residential loans, granted to private customers (34%) and non-residential mortgage loans (Commercial 46%; SME 17%), and from loans other than mortgage loans to public bodies (3%), issued by Unipol Banca, also as a result of acquisition of branches from other banks, granted to persons residing in Italy (North Italy 54%, Central Italy 28% Southern Italy and Islands 18%), secured (with the sole exception of loans to public bodies) by first degree or equivalent mortgages, with a ratio between residual debt and property value as determined by an expert valuation of no more than 80%. Summarised below are the amounts of the assignments made: Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 3 Year 2004 Year 2005 Amount Assignment price - principal 570,810 965,752 1,536,562 Assignment price - interest 2,856 1,362 4,218 Assignment price - premium 28,541 57,945 86,486 Total 602,207 1,025,059 1,627,266 Five assignments of receivables were completed, the first taking place in December 2004 and the rest during 2005. Grecale ABS funded the purchase by issuing two classes of securities, divided into five series, for an aggregate nominal value equal to the amount of the loans net of available funds deriving from loan proceeds. The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS. Securities issued by Grecale ABS Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Rating Nominal amount Senior 28/01/2047 3m Euribor + 40b.p. n/r 1,358,000 Junior 28/01/2047 1% fisso n/r 158,150 Total 1,516,150 364

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 During the warehousing period the senior notes were subscribed through private placement by an independent SPV (Tulip Asset Purchase Company B.V. registered in Amsterdam) and the junior notes were subscribed by Unipol Banca. In May 2006 all the securities issued by Grecale ABS which were assigned to the SPV Atlante Finance Srl, which funded the purchase by issuing four classes of notes, were repackaged. The following table shows the main features of the securities issued by Atlante Finance.

Unipol Banca subscribed the entire amount of Junior notes (Class D) after transferring to Atlante Finance the junior notes issued by Grecale ABS. The Group also subscribed a portion of the Class C mezzanine notes for a nominal value of 61m. During 2006, the subsidiary Unipol Merchant assigned Class C notes to third parties for a nominal value of 40m and Unipol Banca SpA issued a guarantee to the buyers for full repayment of the principal of the securities in question. By effect of this guarantee the risk is not transferred to third parties with respect to the Group; consequently, in the consolidated financial statements, the effects of the derecognition applied in the individual financial statements of the subsidiary Unipol Merchant were always reversed and the equivalent value collected, including capital gains accrued to future years, was recognised under the item payables to customers. As regards the capital gain on the assignment, amounting to 4,680k, corresponding to the excess spread anticipated on the securities assigned with respect to the normal return on substantially free risk securities, it should be noted that it is recognised pro rata temporis under interest income in the consolidated income statement during the average anticipated life of the securities assigned. The total income recognised at 31 December 2012 was 2,136k; due to the merger by incorporation of Unipol Merchant into Unipol Banca, income deferred to future years at 1 January 2013, amounting to 2,544k, were recognised pro rata temporis by the latter; in fact, Unipol Banca recorded on the merger date a shareholders equity reserve equal to the total value of the income still to be recognised net of the deferred tax effect; gross income of 347k were recognised in 2014. Unipol Banca SpA then repurchased Class C notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 70m. Unipol Banca repurchased Class A notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 400.6m; the Class A notes already repaid at the close of the year were more than 96% of their nominal value on issue as seen in the table below. Finally, the Bank repurchased Class A notes issued by Atlante for a nominal value of 6.8m at the time of issue. The four classes of notes are characterised by growing levels of subordination, with absolute priority in favour of the Class A notes, with repayment of the principal having started in January 2008. 365

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements The residual value to be repaid on the Atlante notes is set out below: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 1,202,500 125,103 42,446 Class B notes 28,800 28,800 28,800 Class C notes 136,800 136,800 136,800 Class D notes 152,250 152,250 152,250 Total 1,520,350 442,953 360,296 The transaction as a whole is a pass through type: the entire mortgage loan portfolio of Grecale ABS is collateral for the holders of securities issued by Atlante Finance and all the inward cash flows of Grecale ABS are transferred to Atlante Finance separately for the principal and interest portions. RBS (that took over the activities of ABN AMRO Bank) provided the SPV Atlante with a credit facility initially totalling 110.8m, now reduced, as a result of the fall in the residual value of the notes to be refunded, to 63.8m and never used. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting Atlante. Under the terms of the interest rate swap contract, the SPV receives from the counterparty 3-month Euribor and pays to the counterparty a fixed rate of 4.32%, 6-month Euribor +27.25bps and 3-month Euribor +31.5bps on notional amounts corresponding to the portion of the loan portfolio indexed to these parameters. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. In 2009, the securitisation recorded that one of the trigger events envisaged in the regulations, relating to the percentage ratio between the delinquent loans (with instalment payments in arrears by between 30 and 180 days) and the residual loan amount, had been exceeded; this event is focused on the commercial positions and caused a suspension of the payment, but not the accrual, of interest on the class D junior notes, producing also a movement of flows from the interest to the principal, which will help speed up the process of redeeming the senior notes. 3. Securitisation carried out through Grecale ABS Srl in May 2008 - (Grecale ABS Securitisation 4) In May 2008, a securitisation was performed for an amount of securities issued for the nominal value of 1,104m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of BNP Paribas and Finanziaria Internazionale Securitisation Group as arrangers; the assignment of loans was funded by Grecale ABS with the issuing of securities distributed in only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. The loans assigned arise from performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 48%, Central Italy 28% Southern Italy and Islands 24%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation. 366

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The values of the assignment carried out are as follows. Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 4 Year 2008 Assignment price - principal 1,059,353 Assignment price - interest 1,139 Total 1,060,492 The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS. Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Moody s/s&p original rating Moody s/s&p current rating Nominal amount Senior 22/04/2058 6m/3m Euribor + 60b.p. Aaa/AAA Baa2/AA- 1,007,750 Junior 22/04/2058 variable return n/r n/r 96,510 Total 1,104,260 Unipol Banca subscribed the full amount of both the senior notes (class A) and the junior notes (class B). Given the tensions generated on the financial market and the strong rise in the credit spreads applied to the interest rates following the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the operation was structured from the start with the aim of subscribing all the notes issued, with a view to using, as indeed happened, the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The features of the notes are, however, such as to allow swift placement with institutional investors, should the changed expectations with regard to yield expressed by the market make the offer profitable. The two classes of notes are characterised by increasing levels of subordination, with absolute priority in favour of the Class A securities. The repayment of principal began eighteen months from issue in January 2010 and at the date on which the financial year closed almost 54% of Class A securities had already been repaid at their nominal issue value, as seen in the table shown below. The senior notes were initially issued with the half-yearly coupon indexed to the 6-month Euribor until 24 January 2011 and subsequently, with a quarterly coupon and indexing to the 3-month Euribor. The operation was restructured in line with the change in the coupon indexation and to take into account the possibility of Class A securities being sold to third parties in the future, which mainly involved the originator repurchasing a package of delinquent and default loans, the widening of the spreads paid on Class A coupons, the widening of the spreads on interest-rate-swap contract and the subsequent request to the two rating agencies involved to confirm the rating to take into account the changes made to the contract. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve of 41.9m, originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities, the amount of which it will be possible to reduce according to the changed requirements for protection as soon as the amount of the junior notes (class B) is at least 17.50% of the residual value of the senior notes (class A) in circulation. As with the transactions described previously, here, too, Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, entered into to hedge the interest rate risk affecting the vehicle company. On the basis of the current interest rate swap contract, the vehicle 367

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements company collected the 3-month Euribor +130bps from the counterparty and paid the counterparty all the interest collected, net of the differential of the relating accruals on the performing loans. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. At the closing date the residual value of the securities was as follows: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 1,007,750 512,758 466,668 Class B notes 96,510 96,510 96,510 Total 1,104,260 609,268 563,178 4. Securitisation carried out through Grecale ABS Srl in April 2009 - (Grecale ABS Securitisation 5) In April 2009, the Parent Bank carried out a securitisation for an amount of securities issued for the nominal value of 627m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of UBS Investment Bank Limited and Unipol Merchant Banca per le Imprese Spa as arrangers; the assignment of loans was funded by Grecale ABS with the issuing of securities distributed in only two classes: senior notes and junior notes. The loans assigned arise from performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 44%, Central Italy 38% Southern Italy and Islands 18%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation. The values of the assignment carried out are as follows. Price of receivables assigned to Grecale ABS Sec. 5 Year 2009 Assignment price - principal 611,005 Assignment price - interest 688 Total 611,693 The following table summarises the main features of the securities issued by Grecale ABS.

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The scheme was organised with the collaboration of UBS Investment Bank and Unipol Merchant as arrangers. All the securities were subscribed by Unipol Banca at the time of issue, with the aim of using the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The operation is therefore described as a self-securitisation. During the current financial year, the Senior securities were entirely sold to third financial counterparties on the market, determining the transformation of the type of operation that was no longer a self-securitisation. The two classes of notes are characterised by growing levels of subordination, with absolute priority in favour of the Class A notes; The redemption of senior notes began during the 2011 financial year and by the date the financial statements closed had been repaid by more than 56%. The senior notes were issued with the half-yearly coupon indexed to the 6-month Euribor +300bps. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities. The initial amount of the cash reserve is 2.5% of the initial portfolio and can be increased later on according to the regulatory framework defined indemnity amount target amount ; the cash reserve will be zeroed only after the repayment in full of the senior notes. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting the vehicle company. On the basis of the current interest rate swap contract, the vehicle company pays to the counterparty, with the same frequency of the coupons, an amount determined by applying to the notional value of reference a fixed rate, the arithmetical average of Euribor 3 months for the period plus a spread of 0.3% and the arithmetical average of Euribor 6 months for the period, respectively, and receives the variable interest rate plus a spread of 0.1%, and receives in all cases an amount determined by applying to the notional amount of reference Euribor 6 months reported at the beginning of the period. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. At the closing date the residual value of the securities was as follows: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A notes 531,700 261,063 231,035 Class B notes 95,360 95,360 95,360 Total 627,060 356,423 326,395 5. Securitisation carried out through Grecale RMBS 2011 Srl in October 2011 - (Grecale RMBS 2011 Securitisation 1) The securitisation was carried out in October 2011 through the transfer of performing mortgage loans to private consumers, granted by Unipol Banca to individuals resident in Italy (North Italy 43%, Central Italy 34% Southern Italy and Islands 23%), backed by first degree or equivalent mortgages, where the residual debt does not exceed 80% of the property value as determined by an expert valuation for a total amount of 723m. The scheme was organised with the collaboration of J.P.Morgan that acted as arranger and was financed by issuing securities for a nominal value of 724m, divided in three classes (Senior A1-A2 and Junior). 369

All the securities were subscribed by Unipol Banca at the time of issue, with the aim of using the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The operation was therefore described as a self-securitisation until the previous financial year. During the previous and current financial year, all of the Senior A2 securities were sold to third financial counterparties on the market, determining the transformation of the type of operation that was no longer a self-securitisation. The redemption of the senior securities started in 2013, eighteen months after the issue date. At the closing date, class A1 was fully repaid, therefore, the repayment of class A2 for a residual value of 98% started. The senior notes were issued with the quarterly coupon indexed to the 3-month Euribor +2000bps for class A1 and 500bps for class A2. The operation was not backed by any credit facility as it has a cash reserve originally financed by an over-issue of junior notes designed to protect the Class A securities. The initial amount of the cash reserve is 2.5% of the initial portfolio and can be increased later on according to the regulatory framework defined indemnity amount target amount ; the cash reserve will be zeroed only after the repayment in full of the senior notes. Unipol Banca acts as servicer in the securitisation process and is the indirect counterparty to the interest rate swap contract, which is set up to hedge the interest rate risks affecting the vehicle company. On the basis of the current interest rate swap contract, the vehicle company pays to the counterparty, with the same frequency of the coupons, an amount determined by applying to the notional value of reference a fixed rate, the arithmetical average of Euribor 3 months for the period plus a spread of 0.3% and the arithmetical average of Euribor 6 months for the period, respectively, and receives the variable interest rate plus a spread of 0.1%, and receives in all cases an amount determined by applying to the notional amount of reference Euribor 6 months reported at the beginning of the period. Unipol Banca has the option to repurchase the assigned loan portfolio only from the date on which the residual value of the receivables becomes less than 10% of the value originally assigned, for a payment not greater than the market value. The option may be exercised provided that the payment thus determined will be sufficient for full reimbursement of the residual value of the securities outstanding. 370

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 At the closing date the residual value of the securities was as follows: Residual value to be paid on the notes issued Issue value Residual at 31/12/2013 Residual at 31/12/2014 Class A1 notes 175,000 40,989 - Class A2 notes 390,200 390,200 382,268 Class B notes 158,980 158,980 158,980 Total 724,180 590,169 541,248 6. Securitisation carried out through SME Grecale Srl in July 2012 - (SME Grecale) Purely for informative purposes, as stated at the beginning of this section, it should be mentioned that in July 2012 a new securitisation was carried out by selling a total of 839m of secured and unsecured performing loans granted by Unipol Banca to SMEs resident in Italy, backed, for the secured part, by first degree or subsequent degree mortgages, where the residual debt did not exceed 80% of the professionally ascertained value of the property, and consequently securities with the same nominal value, divided into two classes (senior and junior), were issued, as shown in the following table: Class Legal expiry date Interest rate Fitch/DBRS original rating Fitch/DBRS current rating Nominal amount Senior 31/01/2062 3m Euribor + 350b.p. AAA/AAA AA+/AAA 430,000 Junior 31/01/2062 3m Euribor n/r n/r 409,217 Total 839,217 The scheme was organised with the collaboration of J.P. Morgan as arranger. All the securities were subscribed by Unipol Banca at the time of issue, with the aim of using the senior notes for refinancing operations with the ECB and other central bodies. The operation is therefore described as a self-securitisation. The redemption of the senior securities began in 2012; these securities had been already repaid by more than 87% of their nominal value on issue. Moreover, during the last two financial years, the parent bank repurchased, for reasons of commercial management and within the powers granted by the Service agreement, loans part of the scheme for an amount of residual capital of 56m. Repurchases continued also in the first months of 2015. 371

Group Credit risk measurement models 1.2 GROUP - MARKET RISKS The market risk is the risk arising from the volatility of the market prices of financial instruments that may affect the value of the trading portfolio of the Unipol Banca Group. As regards market risks, the Group is subject to residual exposure to items arising from both trading and managing the network s commercial flows. Items held for trading are those intended for sale in the short term and/or held to benefit, in the short term, from differences between purchase and selling prices or other variations in price or interest rate. Items are those held by the Bank and items arising from services to customers or as back-up for buying and selling (market-making) that have Unipol Banca SpA s own portfolio as direct contra-entry. 377

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements The new Group Investment Policy, which lays down guidelines for investment procedures, the criteria for the investment policy, the types of asset in which it is deemed appropriate to invest and the limits, was approved during 2014. The policy specified the following limits: Portfolio limits; Rating risk limits and concentration limits; VaR limits; Sensitivity limits; Exchange rate risk limits; Limits on loss in the income statement; ALM risk limits; Counterparty risk limits; Settlement risk limits. The market risk is calculated and the limits laid down in the Investment Policy are monitored once a week by the Market Risk Report, which is drawn up and discussed at a meeting of the Finance Committee of Unipol Banca SpA every month. The Risk Management Department presents a quarterly report on the monitoring of the Investment Policy limits to the Bank s Board of Directors. The market risk is measured for management purposes using the Value at Risk, calculated, using the Historical Simulation method with 99.5% reliability, on a daily basis by the Risk Management Department of Unipol Banca SpA, against the trading portfolio and the AFS portfolio using the Kondor Global Risk (KGR) application. A different holding period is envisaged depending on the portfolio of reference; for the trading portfolio in particular, the holding period is 10 days, while for the Available-for-Sale portfolio, this period is 252 days. The historical observation period considered for the calculation of the Value at Risk is at least one year for the trading portfolio and three years for the Available-for-Sale portfolio. The VAR is based on the Held-for-Trading and Available-for-Sale portfolios of Unipol Banca. The VaR of Unipol Banca SpA s trading portfolio at 31 December 2014 (IAS Held-for-trading and Available-for-sale portfolios) is shown below, subdivided according to risk factor. Amounts in m Market Value VAR Total VAR Equity VAR Interest Rate VAR Spread VAR Real Estate UNIPOL BANCA SpA 619.19 58.03 0.12 12.40 101.60 2.02 Aivailable-for-sale portfolio 619.15 58.02 0.12 12.40 101.60 2.02 Held-for-trading portfolio 0.05 0.01 0.01 - - - The total VAR (available-for-sale and trading portfolios) is 58.02m, 9.37% of the market value of the financial instruments present. The risk spread relating to the Value at Risk includes debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments, central governments, central banks or multilateral development banks in the Bank s trading portfolio. The Value at Risk includes instruments held to hedge the risk and mechanisms for transferring the risk. The main sensitivities are calculated and monitored as well as the Value at Risk. Sensitivities indicate the change in the market value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market risk factors. They help to manage market risk as they enable the translation of the Value-at-Risk limits into limits that can be monitored by financial operators. 378

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The main sensitivity measures used are: basis point value; duration; sensitivity to credit spreads; delta of the share portfolio; vega value. 1.2.1 INTEREST RATE RISK AND PRICE RISK REGULATORY TRADING PORTFOLIO QUALITATIVE INFORMATION The interest rate risk is the risk deriving from a possible change in the value of a financial asset in the trading portfolio as a result of adverse changes in interest rates. The interest rate risk on the trading portfolio is measured either by calculating the VaR or by determining the sensitivity and the impacts resulting from stress tests. The Unipol Banca Group s operations on share markets on its own account are limited. The price risk is calculated and monitored using the VaR, sensitivity measures and stress tests. The figures for the sensitivity to interest rates, credit spreads and share prices of the Held-for-Trading and Available-for-Sale portfolios of Unipol Banca SpA at 31 December 2014 are shown below.

A table summarising the sensitivity parameters for the banking portfolio at 31 December 2014 is shown below. The duration gap shows the weighted average difference between the duration of the asset compared with that of the liability (including off-balance items), whilst the sensitivity parameters illustrate the percentage divergence between the expected margin and the economic value of the bank s shareholders equity in relation to an interest rate shock of +/- 100 basis points. The banking portfolio rate risk is analysed using typical asset and liability management tools, such as the duration gap and calculating the effect of changes in interest rates on expected net interest income and on the financial value of equity.

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1.3 GROUP LIQUIDITY RISK QUALITATIVE INFORMATION General aspects, management processes and methods of calculating the operational risk The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might find it difficult to meet its expected or unexpected cash liabilities within a reasonable time and therefore have to sell some of its less liquid assets at unfavourable conditions, thus affecting its solvency. Within the limits approved by the Board of Directors, Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee is responsible for managing Unipol Banca SpA s ALM and the liquidity risk. Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Department is responsible for the operational management of liquidity. A Unipol Banca Group ALM and Liquidity meeting takes place every week. During this meeting the overall liquidity situation of the Unipol Banca SpA is monitored and decisions are made with regard to action to meet emerging liquidity requirements. At the weekly meeting, the structural and tactical liquidity-gap situation is analysed based on the date cash flows are due. Short-term tactical cash flows are supplemented by the expected flows linked to the renewal of sources of finance due from institutional customers, to expected major new transactions not present in the IT systems used for generating cash flows and managing liquidity, and to administrative expenses and taxes due. The meeting also analyses trends in final amounts and rates on income and lending by institutional counterparties, banks and customers of the Unipol Banca Group and compares them with the budget concerned. The liquidity gap based on contractual flows and expected flows is then compared with the reserves of liquid assets or assets that can be swiftly turned into cash. The analysis is carried out under both normal conditions (business as usual), and idiosyncratic, market and combined stress conditions (worst-case scenario). Idiosyncratic stress includes for example: a partial reduction of sources of finance by cooperative counterparties; a partial reduction of sources of finance by retail customers (sale on the secondary market of the bonds issued by Unipol Banca and partial withdrawal of on demand items); the failure to renew the sources of finance not collateralised by institutional counterparties and banks, reduction of the possibility of loans on characteristic markets (Interbank Deposit Market, Collateralised interbank market, EMTN issues); a reduction in maturities related to available sources of finance; possible events related to the achievement of thresholds on collateral agreements and impacts on credit lines by institutional counterparties and banks for transactions in derivatives, collateralised deposits, repurchase agreements of deposits and security and currency forward transactions. 398

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 The stress of the market is defined as the simultaneous unavailability of certain characteristic loan markets (interbank market, EMTN issues) as well as the reduction of liquidity on financial markets relating to the sale/ purchase of financial instruments resulting in the inability to liquidate positions in securities over a short-term period without significant economic impacts. In such a scenario, it is assumed, for example: a reduction of the possibility of loans on characteristic markets (Interbank Deposit Market, Collateralised interbank market, MTS, EMTN issues) and a reduction in maturities related to available sources of finance; a decrease in the value of the assets in the portfolio; the failure to renew the sources of finance collateralised and not collateralised by institutional counterparties and banks a partial reduction of sources of finance by cooperative counterparties; an increase in the use of credit lines by corporate counterparties of the Unipol Banca Group. The combined stress scenario is a worst case scenario that considers the joint impact of the two previous scenarios. The severity levels envisaged may be different from the previous two, and the combination of the idiosyncratic and market scenarios will not necessarily be equal to the algebraic sum of the impacts of the two previous scenarios but interrelations will be considered in order to determine the combined effects. Stress application must be contemplated in two phases: very short term (two weeks) that assumes an acute phase of stress and a longer period (up to two months) that assumes a phase of stress less acute but persistent. Lastly, the principal market indicators (early warning indicators) are continuously monitored in order to give advance warning of any potential crisis. In particular, in order to identify the occurrence of market stress situations, prices and performance of the stock-market index on the reference market, information related to debt securities or credit default swaps of the market, information on the financial sector to which they belong are monitored; to identify the occurrence of an idiosyncratic stress, the rating of the Bank and other information specific to the Unipol Banca Group are monitored. A summary of the information shared during weekly meetings held to monitor liquidity and any actions to be taken are recorded in the minutes and reported to Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee. During the monthly meeting of Unipol Banca SpA s Finance Committee, the Head of Unipol Banca s Corporate Treasury Department and its Head of Risk Management present a description of the short-term tactical liquidity situation and the long-term strategic liquidity situation, including any action to be taken to improve the overall liquidity profile. Evidence of the 12-month liquidity gaps for Unipol Banca at 31 December 2014, with a comparison between the actual and accumulated gaps on the various due dates and the reserves of assets that can be used as contingencies and the liquidity buffer is shown below. 399

The calculation of the ratio was shared in Finance Committees and funding strategies that would enable full compliance with the regulatory requirements were outlined. Moreover, with reference to the medium-term liquidity indicator (Net Stable Funding Ratio - NSFR), a balancing activity of the figures of Cedacri were started during the year. 400

The operational risk includes, in terms of identification and quantitative assessment, the legal risk, the risk of non-compliance with regulations and IT risk, whereas the strategic and reputational risk are excluded. The MEGA project works shared with the different Control Governance functions of the Unipol Group for defining the Operational risk management and control system continued. In particular, the structure of the joint database that will make it possible to give a common focus to the information of the control structures in order to achieve important synergies was completed. Work also continued on the activities relating to the Operational Risk Management System, in line with the regulatory requirements envisaged by the Traditional Standardised Approach. 408

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 This model hinges on: the process for recovering from operating loss events; the process for a prospective qualitative analysis of the level of corporate risk (Risk Self-Assessment). Collection of data on operational losses continued on a quarterly basis. Part F information on consolidated equity Section 1 Consolidated shareholders equity A. Qualitative information Equity management relates to all the policies and choices required to identify the size of the equity, as well as the optimum combination among the various alternative capitalisation instruments, in order to ensure that the equity and the ratios of the Bank are consistent with the risk profile undertaken and comply with regulatory requirements. The Bank is subject to the capital adequacy rules established by the Bank of Italy. Activity to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements and consequently capital adequacy is on-going and is based on the development targets established. B.

Unipol Banca Financial Statements 2014 Section 2 Own funds and regulatory ratios Information not applicable to this consolidation following the changes introduced by the Supervisory Regulations of the Bank of Italy that, with a special note of 1 August 2014 announced the change of the Register of Banking Groups through the cancellation of the Banking Group Unipol Banca SpA and the registration of the Unipol Banca in the new Unipol Banking Group with Parent Company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA, subject to consolidated supervision. Therefore, Unipol Banca is no longer the Parent Company of the previous Unipol Banca Banking Group and hence not subject to consolidated supervision. Therefore, the information provided for in this section and the following sections 3 and 4 are the responsibility of the new Unipol Banking Group. Section 3 Insurance regulatory capital and ratios See Section 2. Section 4 The financial group s capital adequacy See Section 2. 411

8 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Part G Business combinations Section 1 Business combinations carried out during the year During the year, there were no business combinations as regulated by IFRS 3. In the context of the reorganisation and rationalisation of the Banking Group, in November 2014 the merger by incorporation of Banca Sai SpA into Unipol Banca SpA became effective. The transaction was authorised by the Bank of Italy on 25 September 2014 and its tax and accounting effects started as from 1 January 2014 and with it, among other things, the Bank acquired control over the company Finitalia SpA operating in the sector of financing - of insurance premiums, in particular. This transaction, which was configured as a mere reorganisation within the Group (Unipol Banking Group with parent company Unipol Gruppo Finanziario SpA), was deemed to be lacking in all economic substance and consequently recorded with the continuity of amounts in line with the provisions of the documents OPI 1 and 2 issued by Assirevi. As the transfer values are higher than the historic amounts, the excess was reversed, reducing the merging company s equity, with the recording of a special reserve in its financial statements, of 44,127,635. Section 2 Transactions after the end of the year No aggregations were carried out after the end of the year. Section 3 Retrospective adjustments There were no financial and economic changes on the amounts recognised in previous years, relating to business combinations. 412
