 SUMMARY of CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS

PROFIT: EXOR closed the 2019 year with a consolidated profit of €3,053 million, compared to €1,347 million at year-end 2018. The increase of €1,706 million is mainly attributable to the improvements in the overall performance of the subsidiaries for €1,596 million and includes EXOR's share of the net gain realized on the disposal of Magneti Marelli by FCA for €1,081 million (out of a total net gain of €3.8 billion).

EQUITY: At 31 December 2019 the consolidated equity attributable to owners of the parent amounted to €15,025 million with a net increase of €2,815 million compared to €12,210 million at year-end 2018, principally due to a consolidated net profit of €3,053 million.

2

NET FINANCIAL POSITION: the consolidated net financial position of the Holdings System at 31 December 2019 was a negative €2,631 million and reflected a positive change of €624 million compared to the negative financial position of €3,255 million at year-end 2018.

The positive change was mainly due to dividends received from the subsidiaries (€1,179 million), partially offset by investments (€274 million), the buyback of EXOR shares (€207 million) and payment of dividends (€100 million).

 DIVIDENDS

The Board of Directors has put forward a proposal to present for adoption to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders the 2019 Annual Report, as well as to approve the payment of a €0.43 dividend in respect of each issued and outstanding share as of the record date, for a total of approximately €100 million. In 2019, EXOR paid dividends per share of €0.43 for a total of €100 million. The proposed dividends, to be approved by the Shareholders' meeting, will become payable on 24 June 2020 (ex-dividend date 22 June) and will be paid to the shares of record as of 23 June 2020 (record date).

 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS in 2019

EXOR share buyback program

In 2019 EXOR, under the share buyback program launched on 14 November 2018, purchased on the Italian Stock Exchange 3,646,822 ordinary shares for a total invested amount of €207 million.

At 31 December 2019 EXOR held in total 9,412,215 ordinary shares in treasury (3.91% of the total issued share capital), of which 4,878,332 ordinary shares acquired under such program for a total consideration of around €269 million.

3

Spin-off of commercial vehicles and powertrain segments from CNH Industrial

On 3 September 2019 EXOR announced its strong support to the "Transform 2 Win" plan that includes the spin-off by early 2021 of CNH Industrial's 'On-Highway' assets (commercial vehicles and powertrain segments), to be listed alongside the group's 'Off-Highway' assets (agriculture, construction and specialty segments), resulting in two distinct world leading businesses, each focused on creating value in their respective areas of activity.

EXOR will continue to be the shareholder of reference in both entities following completion of the spin-off process.

Issue of non-convertible bond due October 2034

On 14 October 2019 EXOR issued bonds for a nominal amount of €300 million, maturing in October 2034 with a fixed annual coupon of 1.75%. The bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market with a BBB+ credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.

Acquisition of the controlling stake in GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A.

On 2 December 2019 CIR and EXOR N.V. signed a binding agreement for the transfer from CIR to EXOR of the controlling stake in GEDI Gruppo Editoriale S.p.A., equal to 43.78% of the total share capital, at a sale price of €0.46 per share, for a total amount of €102.5 million. Following the closing, EXOR will launch a public tender offer (Mandatory Tender Offer) via a newly incorporated vehicle, on all the outstanding GEDI shares not already owned at €0.46 per share.

CIR intends to reinvest in the new company in order to acquire a shareholding equal to 5% in GEDI's fully diluted share capital.

It is expected that the transaction will be completed in the second quarter of 2020, subject to the approval of the competent authorities.

4

Juventus Football Club capital increase

On 12 December 2019 EXOR paid €191.3 million to subscribe its portion of Juventus's share capital increase, equal to 63.77%. The capital increase of Juventus for a total amount of €300 million, was completed at the beginning of 2020 with a full subscription of the share capital increase.

Agreement for the merger between Groupe PSA and FCA

On 18 December 2019 Groupe PSA and FCA signed a binding Combination Agreement providing for a merger of their businesses (50% by Group PSA and a 50% by FCA) to create the 4th largest global automotive OEM by volume and 3rd largest by revenue.

The proposed combined company will be an industry leader with the management, capabilities, resources and scale to successfully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the new era in sustainable mobility.

The merged entity will benefit from an efficient governance structure designed to promote effective performance, with a Board comprised of 11 members, 5 nominated by FCA and its reference shareholder (including John Elkann as Chairman) and 5 nominated by Groupe PSA and its reference shareholders (including the Senior Non-Executive Director and the Vice Chairman), the majority of whom will be independent.

Carlos Tavares will be Chief Executive Officer for an initial term of five years and a member of the board.

The new group's Dutch-domiciled parent company will be listed on Euronext (Paris), the Borsa Italiana (Milan) and the New York Stock Exchange and will benefit from its strong presence in France, Italy and the US.

The shareholders EXOR, Bpifrance, Peugeot Family and Dongfeng have each irrevocably committed to vote in favor of the transaction at the shareholders' meetings of FCA and Groupe PSA. Before closing, FCA will distribute to its shareholders a special dividend of €5.5 billion while Groupe PSA will distribute to its shareholders its 46% stake in Faurecia.

5

Each company intends to distribute a €1.1 billion ordinary dividend in 2020 related to the fiscal year 2019, subject to approval by each company's board of directors and shareholders. At closing, Groupe PSA shareholders will receive 1.742 shares of the new combined company for each share of Groupe PSA, while FCA shareholders will have 1 share of the new combined company for each share of FCA.

The completion of the proposed combination is expected to take place in 12-15 months from the announcement of the Combination Agreement, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by both companies' shareholders at their respective extraordinary general meetings and the satisfaction of antitrust and other regulatory requirements.

Rating

On 19 December 2019 Standard & Poor's affirmed EXOR's long-term and short-term debt ratings at "BBB+" and "A-2" respectively and improved the outlook to "positive" from "stable".

 PERFORMANCE of SUBSIDIARIES

At present all the listed subsidiaries have published their accounting data relating to 2019. EXOR's 2019 Annual Report, which will be available at the head office of the company and on the website www.exor.comin the time frame established by law, includes comments on the performance of all the principal subsidiaries.

 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS and 2020 OUTLOOK

The Memorandum of Understanding provides for EXOR to receive a total cash consideration of $9 billion plus a cash dividend of $50 million to be paid before closing, with an aggregate total cash return of $3 billion, considering the dividends received during the holding period.

The proposed transaction is expected to be completed by the end of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, antitrust, regulatory and other approvals.

Appointment of Suzanne Heywood as acting CEO of CNH Industrial

On 22 March 2020, Suzanne Heywood, Managing Director of EXOR, was appointed by the board of directors of CNH Industrial as Acting Chief Executive Officer, following the resignation of Hubertus Mühlhäuser as CEO, who has left the Group. Lady Heywood, in addition to her role as Chair of the board, will lead the business until a new permanent CEO has been identified by means of a thorough search process.

Covid-19

The recent outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus), a virus causing potentially deadly respiratory tract infections originating in China and spreading worldwide, will negatively affect economic conditions regionally as well globally, disrupt operations situated in countries particularly exposed to the contagion, affect supply chains or otherwise impact EXOR's businesses.

Governments in affected countries are imposing travel bans, quarantines, restrictions on travel and the movement and gathering of people in the countries, as well as restrictions on commercial activity and other emergency public safety measures.

In order to respond to the interruption of market demand by ensuring optimization of supply, FCA, CNH Industrial and Ferrari have temporarily suspended production across the majority of their manufacturing plants.

These measures, though temporary in nature, may continue and increase depending on developments with regard to the virus' outbreak. The ultimate severity of the Coronavirus outbreak is uncertain at this time and therefore EXOR cannot reasonably estimate the impact it will have on its operations and results.

9

Outlook for 2020

EXOR N.V. does not prepare budgets or business plans, nor does it publish forecast data or data on the basis of which it is possible to calculate forecast data. Certain EXOR operating subsidiaries (FCA, Ferrari and CNH Industrial) publish forecast data on their performance.

Other operating subsidiaries (PartnerRe and Juventus Football Club) publish information on the foreseeable outlook. Additional information is provided under "Review of performance of the Operating Subsidiaries" in the Board Report.

The forecast data and information of the abovementioned operating companies are drawn up autonomously and communicated by the respective companies and are not homogeneous.

Quantitative forecast disclosures prepared by these operating companies and the type of information provided, as well as the underlying assumptions and calculation methods vary according to the accounting principles applicable to each subsidiary and the conventional application practices in the respective sector of reference.

EXOR N.V. in fact, is a holding company without a specific business of reference, head of a diversified and non-integrated group that operates in different segments and does not exercise direction and coordination activities over its subsidiaries, which operate in a completely independent manner.

EXOR N.V. deems that the forecast data and information of the subsidiaries are not significant or suitable for the purposes of providing indications about the prospective economic trend of EXOR N.V.'s operations, nor do they represent a forecast or estimate of the company's results. Therefore, in assessing EXOR N.V.'s future prospects it is not possible to rely on the data and prospective information published by the aforesaid operating subsidiaries.

The 2019 Annual Report will be audited by the Company's audit firm which will issue their reports in the time frame established by law.
