Banca Finnat Euramerica : launches NATAM Management Company S.A.

PRESS RELEASE

BANCA FINNAT LAUNCHES NATAM MANAGEMENT COMPANY S.A.

A NEW LUXEMBOURG-BASED ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Rome, 30 August 2016 - Today Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. - a leading Italian stock exchange operator, specialising in investment services for institutional, private and business clients, whose origins and history are closely tied to the Nattino family and date back to 1898 - has established a new wholly- owned Luxembourg-based asset management company called NATAM Management Company S.A..

NATAM, at the conclusion of an analytical approval process, received a "dual permission" from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) - the financial supervisory authority of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

- thanks to which it will be able to provide its collective asset management services to both harmonised funds compliant with the UCITS V Directive, and alternative investment schemes compliant with the AIFM Directive.

After receiving the go-ahead from the Bank of Italy, Finnat Group launched this project to capitalise on and make available to the market its longstanding technical experience, built up since the end of the 90s, when it launched New Millennium SICAV, an umbrella fund comprising 14 separate sub-funds.

In particular, the NATAM project aims to launch a vehicle capable of providing its services not just to internal platforms (besides New Millennium SICAV, Finnat Group has also set up a "SIF", or alternative Specialised Investment Fund), but to other entities set up by third-party intermediaries and institutional investors as well, according to the now well-established "third party management company" model.

The new company will be managed by a highly qualified and competent team, comprising Mr. Alberto Alfiero (Deputy General Manager of Banca Finnat and longstanding President of the Group SICAVs), as the President of NATAM, while Mr. Sante Jannoni (a lawyer specialising in Italian and Luxembourg financial law and senior management member of a number of professional and financial entities in Luxembourg), will serve as the company's CEO. Last but not least, Mr. Alex Schmitt - one of the most highly considered legal experts in the Grand

Duchy - will serve on the board as an independent director, bringing his enormous expertise and professional knowledge.

******** Banca Finnat, a leading Italian stock exchange operator, specialising in investment services for institutional, private and business clients, whose origins and history are closely tied to the Nattino family and date back to 1898. Banca Finnat, together with the other Group companies, offers a wide array of financial products and services, ranging from asset management to brokerage, trusteeships, corporate finance and the management of real estate funds.
