Notes: Rounded figures

Direct Banking on track with cost sharing and cross selling synergy expected from JV in Hype
Corporate Center absorbing €31mln in terms of negative result before tax and reflecting costs to build a scalable infrastructure
- KPIs confirm strong asset quality and robust capital
• Cost income ratio reflects revenue not fully benefiting from volumes built in thequarter
• Annualised cost of risk contained at 59bps in 4Q20 on new volumes backed by public guarantees and solid asset quality
• Organic NPE ratio further down to 3.2%
• Ample liquidity buffer
• NSFR comfortably above minimum requirements
• CET1 ratio still at nearly 18% on strong business growth

CET1 ratio
17.9%

Market data used in the Document not attributed to a specific source are estimates of the Company and have not been independently verified.
• Any expected return is not guaranteed and is based on data shown in Euro. The Document contains "forward-looking" and targets information which are based upon certain assumptions about future and/or ongoing events or conditions and may also be based on Company's expectations on ongoing and/or potential new initiatives and is exclusively intended to illustrate hypothetical target results under those assumptions (not all of which are specified herein). Such forward looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements give the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, amongst other things, the Company's financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, potential deals, strategies and the industry in which it operates. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur, in whole or in part, in the future. These statements may include, without limitation, any statements preceded by, followed by or including words such as "target," "outcome," "believe," "expect," "aim," "intend," "may," "anticipate," "estimate," "insight," "plan," "project," "will," "can have," "likely," "should," "would," "could" and other words and terms of similar meaning or the negative thereof. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors beyond the Company's control that could cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the expected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements take into account the Company's current expectations on the possible achievement of already disclosed or new targets or estimates, which are in no way guaranteed and may be reviewed in light of up to date market and business conditions. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company's present and future business strategies and the environment in which it operates and will operate in the future.
• Actual events or conditions are unlikely to be consistent with, and may differ materially from, those assumed. In addition, not all relevant events or conditions may have been considered in developing such assumptions. Accordingly, actual results will vary, and the variations may be material. Prospective investors should understand such assumptions and evaluate whether they are appropriate for their purposes. Any data on past performance, modeling, scenario analysis or back-testing contained herein is no indication as to future performance. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any modeling, scenario analysis or back-
testing; for investors resident in EC countries that are not part of the Eurozone these returns can increase or decrease due to exchange rate movements.
• The tax consequences of an investment depend on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future; therefore, the present document may not be considered to have been prepared in order to offer an opinion, legal advice or tax opinion regarding the possible tax consequences of the transaction. Every prospective investor is advised to evaluate any potential investment in the transaction on the basis of independent accounting, fiscal ad legal advice and should also obtain from their own financial advisors analyses of the adequacy of the transaction, the risks, the protection and the cash flows associated with the transaction, insofar as such analyses are appropriate for ascertaining the risks and merits of the transaction.
• Prospective investors must rely on their own evaluation that a potential investment in the transaction described herein does not contravene the laws and regulations of the country of residence of the investor and must also be responsible for obtaining any necessary prior authorization required to make the investment.

• Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the ordinary shares and other instruments of illimity Bank S.p.A. (the "Securities") have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such Securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Target Market Assessment").
• Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, Distributors should note that: the price of the Securities may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Securities offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection and an investment in the Securities is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Manufacturers will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.
• For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Securities.
• Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Securities and determining appropriate distribution channels.
