BANCA FINNAT BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES GROUP INDUSTRIAL PLAN FOR

PERIOD 2022-2024

Rome, 14 April 2022 - The Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. board of directors, which met today, approved the Group's Industrial Plan for the period 2022-2024. The Plan sets out the following guidelines:

For Private Banking:

  • Increase assets and revenue from indirect deposits.

  • Broaden the customer base and develop managed deposits by hiring new private bankers, mainly with high seniority, alongside the current team of consultants, continuing to implement the network development strategy.

  • Strengthen the Northern Italy area, both by expanding the network at the Milan branch and by opening new branches in other strategic centres.

  • Maintain net interest income even with an increase in average volumes, so as to support the growth of private banking whilst maintaining a limited risk profile.

  • Develop fiduciary heading activity and escrow operations.

  • Grow fiduciary and financial planning services in Northern Italy, partly thanks to cross-selling with the Bank's private banking.

For corporate and institutional client services:

  • Develop services for listed or pending issuers (SMEs and companies listed on Euronext Growth Milan).

  • Develop corporate consultancy with a focus on structured and greenbond finance.

  • Develop Asset Management activities for corporate operators with a focus on insurance companies.

  • Develop commercial synergies, including after strengthening private banking, and exploit the Bank's integrated expertise to acquire new potential customers.

  • Develop synergies with NATAM SA with a view to setting up and administering vehicles for corporate investors (UCITS/FIA).

To consolidate the market leadership position of the Property Management subsidiary InvestiRE SGR:

  • Increase assets and volumes of business managed, including through external lines and acquisitions.

  • Gradually expand existing business lines, in part thanks to winning new investors and market shares.

  • Consolidate volumes and profitability of existing funds.

  • Continue direct investments, by InvestiRE SGR, in the equity of new managed funds, including to reinvest available liquidity.

At a consolidated level, the Plan's goals are as follows, taking into account that the Plan now includes lower recruitment of Private Bankers and therefore a lower development of volumes of business:

  • Grow indirect deposits from private customers, through the development of the current sales force, to €390 million overall in the three-year period 2022-2024. In the previous Industrial Plan, flows of new indirect deposits were expected to reach €420 million in the three-year period 2021-2023, compared to the €575 million currently estimated for the same period.

  • Expectation to raise €360 million over the plan period (2022-2024) from new Private Bankers; in the previous Industrial Plan, flows of new deposits were estimated to reach €1,025 million in the three-year period 2021-2023,

compared to the €255 million currently estimated for the same period; the reduction is attributed to the revised plan for recruiting new sales force.

  • Grow indirect deposits from €7.6 billion in 2021 to €8.7 billion in 2024, mainly due to the development of "quality deposits"; in the previous Industrial Plan, this objective was set at €7.5 billion by the end of 2023, compared to the €8.6 billion currently expected for the same period.

  • Grow the Group's total assets under management from €18.1 billion in 2021 to €19.2 billion by the end of 2024; in the previous Industrial Plan, the Group's total AUM were expected to be €18.5 billion by the end of 2023, compared to the €19.3 billion currently expected for the same period.

  • Total income equal to €68.8 million in 2023 rising to €71.3 million in 2024; in the previous Industrial Plan, total income for 2023 was expected to be €72.3.

  • Group net income equal to €4.9 million in 2023 and €5.4 million in 2024, compared to the €6.4 million estimated in the previous Industrial Plan by the end of 2023.
