The Network includes 198 branch offices throughout Italy (0.6% of the market), located in 11 regions and 16 provinces. The branch offices will be split as follows: 78 branch offices to Banca Carige in the provinces of Turin (14), Aosta (1), Como (19), Pavia (6), Venice (18), Padua (15), Rovigo (1), and Sassari (4); 35 branch offices to Credito Valtellinese, in the provinces of Turin (19), Alessandria (4), and Pavia (12); 42 branch offices to Veneto Banca in the provinces of Imperia (5), Venice (18), Padua (7), Udine (9), and Rovigo (3); 43 branch offices to Banca Popolare di Bari in the provinces of Pesaro (2), Terni (11), Naples (15), Caserta (10), and Brindisi (5). The payment for sale of the 198 branch offices amounts to € 1,900 million, split as follows: Banca Carige: € 996 million Credito Valtellinese: € 395 million Veneto Banca: € 328 million Banca Popolare di Bari: € 181 million Said amount is subject to a possible mechanism to adjust the price in relation to the total amount of deposits and savings (direct and indirect) at the date of sale of the branch offices.

Italy's Less Significant Banks: General Overview and Supervision
Italy’s less significant banks: general overview and supervision On 30 June 2016, Italy’s less significant institutions (LSIs), directly supervised by the Bank of Italy within the framework of Europe’s Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), numbered 462, of which 355 were mutual cooperative banks (banche di credito cooperativo or BCCs). LSIs in Italy comprise about 8,700 branches and 74,000 bank employees, while the entire Italian banking system consists of 29,000 branches and 292,000 bank employees; LSIs account for 18 per cent of the banking system’s total assets. The average value of an LSI’s total assets came to just over €1 billion, against an average of €165 billion for significant institutions (SIs). On the same date, the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio for LSIs averaged 15.5 per cent, about 4 percentage points more than in 2011 (the CET1 ratio for SIs was 11.7 per cent, representing an increase of 3 percentage points on 2011). Non-performing loans (net of value adjustments) as a share of total loans (NPL ratio) averaged 12.5 per cent (it was 10.5 per cent for SIs). The coverage ratio averaged 43.6 per cent (46.6 per cent for SIs); however, among LSIs there was greater recourse to guarantees. The increase in the coverage ratio recorded on average by LSIs in recent years was starkly higher than that for SIs. In the first half of 2016, the profitability of LSIs, net of extraordinary effects, was in line with that of SIs. The cost- income ratio was substantially similar for LSIs and SIs.
