Change in the scope of consolidation and Purchase Price Allocation

Change in the scope of consolidation

In 2Q22 the BPER Group changed the scope of consolidation following the acquisition of the controlling stake in Banca Carige's share capital from the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund and the Voluntary Intervention Scheme, on 3rd June 2022.

The assets and liabilities of Banca Carige have therefore been included on a line by line basis in the Group's Balance Sheet items as at 30th June 2022, while its full 1H22 P&L contribution has been included in the calculation of the income statement item "Bargain Purchase" (Badwill).

Purchase Price Allocation (PPA)

The 1H22 results include the impact of the PPA carried out following the first accounting treatment of Banca Carige ("Carige") stake acquired on 3rd June 2022, in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". The difference between Carige's net equity as at 30 June 2022 and the purchase price ("Badwill" or "Bargain Purchase") amounted to 1,494.1 €mln. The allocation process through the measurement at fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as at the initial recognition date, led to the following PPA adjustments:

• -145.0€mln FV adjustments on loans;
• -69.2€mln FV adjustments on RE assets;
• -60.0€mln related to branch disposal;
• -56.6€mln related to contingent liabilities;
• +25.2 €mln related to tax effects and other;

As a result of the PPA, a Bargain Purchase amount of 1,188.4 €mln was booked in the 1H22 P&L.

Note: The Pro-forma Fully Phased CET1 and TC ratio have been estimated excluding the effects of the transitional arrangements in force and including the result for the period, thus simulating, in advance, the effects of the ECB's authorisation to include these profits in Own Funds pursuant to art. 26, para. 2 of the CRR. In addition the calculation takes into account the full DTA benefit arising from the merger of Carige into BPER.
