Press release

FITCH RATINGS UPGRADES DOVALUE'S COMMERCIAL PRIMARY SERVICER RATING

Roma, September 11, 2020 - doValue S.p.A. ("doValue" or the "Company") announces that Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") has upgraded its Commercial Primary Servicer Rating to "2+", while affirming its other Servicer Ratings, already at top levels in the rating scale.

In its regular review of doValue's operational capabilities, Fitch has highlighted the Company's efficient and highly automated primary loan servicing processes, its longstanding history in servicing, experienced staff and robust risk governance and technology.

According to doValue, the rating upgrade is particularly significant as it follows a period of intense growth and international expansion, with the acquisitions of Altamira Asset Management and FPS (now doValue Greece), and takes into consideration the Group's response to the challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic. More in detail, Fitch highlighted how doValue's staff swiftly moved to working from home, with no impact on the day-to-day business, IT has been strengthened and the network has performed well, demonstrating a robust continuity plan.

Top Servicer Ratings, consistently achieved by doValue and its subsidiary Italfondiario with both Fitch and S&P over the past 13 years, are a key competitive advantage in winning servicing mandates and continue to support doValue's leadership position in Southern Europe.
