AMENDMENTS AND ADDITIONS TO THE NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SAVINGS

SHAREHOLDERS FOR TUESDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2022

Pursuant to Art. 2.5.1 of the Rules of the Market, Borsa Italiana has resolved to delist the savings shares of Banca Carige S.p.A. ("Carige") on Euronext Milan, at the same time of the delisting of Carige ordinary shares, as of 20 September 2022. For further information on the de-listing, reference should be made to the press release issued by BPER Banca S.p.A. on 12 September 2022, available on BPER Banca S.p.A.'s corporate website https://istituzionale.bper.it/investor-relations/principali-operazioni-societarie/opaas well as on Carige's corporate website https://www.gruppocarige.it/grpwps/portal/it/gruppo-carige/investor-relations/opa.

Following the delisting provision implemented by Borsa Italiana, as at 27 September 2022 - date of call of the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders of Carige - Carige's savings shares will no longer be listed on Euronext Milan, continuing to be included in dematerialised form in the centralised securities clearing system.

As a consequence of the above, the notice of call of the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders of Carige, published on 26 August 2022 pursuant to the law and to the Articles of Association, was amended as detailed below to reflect the applicable regulations concerning dematerialised delisted shares. All the remaining information included in the notice of call published on 26 August 2022, to which reference should be made, remain valid.

Entitlement to attend and vote

This paragraph fully substitutes the paragraph "Entitlement to attend and vote" included in the notice of call of the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders of Carige published on 26 August 2022.

Pursuant to Art. 83-sexies of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the entitlement to attend the Shareholders' Meeting and exercise the right to vote is attested by a notice to Carige by a qualified financial intermediary in favour of the subject vested with voting rights arising from the savings shares on the basis of the intermediary's records. Please note that the Notice of Participation is required even when savings shares are deposited at Carige.

In this regard, it is noted that, based on the share capital filed with the Companies' Register as at today amounting to EUR 1,345,608,389.81, the share capital is represented by 20 ordinary shares, each share entitling to one vote.

In the event of disposal of the savings shares on a date following the date to which the qualified intermediary's notice and until 27 September 2022, the intermediary is required to amend the notice sent previously and the entitlement to attend the Meeting and to exercise the right to vote shall be granted to the holder of the savings shares indicated in the amended notice.

The intermediary's notice shall be received by Carige by the end of the third trading day prior to the date of the Shareholders' Meeting, i.e. by Thursday 22 September 2022. Entitlement to attend and vote at the Shareholders' Meeting remains, however, valid when the notices are received by Carige after the above deadline, as long as prior to the beginning of the Shareholders Meeting proceedings. Attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting is governed by the applicable laws and regulations in force, as well as by the provisions of the existing Shareholders' Meeting Regulations, which are available on the corporate website www.gruppocarige.it, under Governance/Company documents

It should be noted that, in the event of notices already sent to Carige as at today's date by qualified intermediaries in accordance with regulations applicable to companies with listed shares in favour of subjects vested with voting rights arising from the savings shares on the basis of the intermediary's record as at the close of business on Friday 16 September 2022 (the seventh trading day prior to the date of the Meeting, a.k.a. the record date), a new notice by the intermediary will not be required for the entitlement, without prejudice to the fact that, pursuant art. 83-sexies, para. 4 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the intermediary will be required to amend the notice previously sent if the Carige savings shares, to which the notice refers to, are fully or partly sold on a date after the reference date of the notice and until 27 September 2022.

Representation at the Shareholders' Meeting

Without prejudice to all the other content of the paragraph "Representation at the Shareholders' Meeting" included in the notice of call of the Special Meeting of Savings Shareholders of Carige, published on 26 August 2022, it should be noted that, in light of the scheduled delisting of the savings shares from Euronext Milan, the mandatory appointment of a Designated Representative, pursuant to art. 135-undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance, will not apply in relation to the meeting called for 27 September 2022. Therefore, Savings Shareholders are entitled to be represented at the Meeting in compliance with the provisions of law, by signing t the proxy form attached to the authorised intermediary's notice or by filling out the proxy form available on the corporate website www.gruppocarige.it, under the section Governance/Shareholders' Meetings, but it will not be possible to grant proxy to a Representative designated by Carige pursuant to art. 135-undecies of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
