Its capital is represented by ordinary shares . Shareholders are divided between unregistered shareholders (who have a right to share in dividends, options, etc. but have no voting rights) and registered shareholders (who have both the right (i) to share in dividends, options, etc., and (ii) to vote at general meetings). To become a registered shareholder, one must own and hold at least 250 shares and apply to the management board. Each registered shareholder has only one vote. No one may hold shares amounting to more than 1% of the share capital (with the exception of collective investment companies). As at March 2015, voting shareholders number nearly 81,000*. A recent Law (March 2015) has established that cooperative banks with total assets above 8€ bln must transform into Joint Stock Companies. Bank of Italy has recently issued instructions (11 June) and the Popolari involved have 18 months to transform into Joint Stock Companies. UBI Banca, which totals €120 bln of total assets, is one of the Banks involved in this process. UBI Banca is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange and included in the FTSE/MIB index. UBI Banca’s governance model is based on a “dualistic” system. Under this dualistic governance system, the registered shareholders appoints a Supervisory Board (strategy and supervision); the Supervisory Board, in turn, appoints a Management Board (day-by-day management of the bank) 54.2 37.7 Market Capitalisation** as at 12th June 2015 # 3 (EUR bln) 6.7 Source: “Il Sole 24ore” – Italian Financial Newspaper – 5.5 Dated 13th June 2015 4.1 3.7 * Total shareholders (voting and non voting) number around 150,000 ** MPS quotations not reported as the Bank is under capital increase Page 4 UBI Banca and its Peers No. of branches as at 31st March 2015 Total assets as at 31st March 2015 (€ bln) 7,361 840 5,779 682 2,225 # 5 1,852 1,560 188 # 5 1,273 702 126 120 61 49 Customer loans as at 31st March 2015 (€ bln) Total direct funding as at 31st March 2015 (€ bln) 573 483 370 346 # 4 # 4 123 132 91 85 81 86 44 33 44 37 Page 5 Source: Press releases.
