Via Po, 32 00198 ROME VAT No. 00891231003 8 Financial Statements at 31 December 2015 MPS CAPITAL SERVICES BANCA PER LE IMPRESE Ratings The following ratings have been assigned to the Bank by Moody’s Investors Service Ltd: LONG-TERM DEBT RATING: B3 SHORT-TERM DEBT RATING: Not Prime FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATING: caa2 During the first half of financial year 2015, the international rating agency Moody’s brought into operation its new banking system assessment model and completed the consequent revision of the rating levels of the main credit institutions. This entailed for the Parent Company Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, and consequently for the Bank, a further downgrade of two notches relative to the rating level of the long-term debt with respect to the previous assessment, although in the absence of significant changes in the main performance indicators of the Bank and the Group. A negative outlook was assigned to the rating and it is therefore to be considered constantly under observation. We must specify that the new classification of impaired loans that came into force starting from 2015 is very close to the definition of “problem loans” of the model used by Moody’s, so this change had no impact of the determination of the Bank’s rating. 9 MPS CAPITAL SERVICES BANCA PER LE IMPRESE Financial Statements at 31 December 2015 Shareholding Structure As of 31 December 2015, the Share Capital broke down as follows: Shareholder Number of shares Amount in units Percentage of one Euro Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA 891,019,260 276,215,970.60 99.92% I.N.A.I.L. 239,634 74,286.54 0.03% Other shareholders 466,094 144,489.14 0.05% Total 891,724,988 276,434,746.28 100.00% With a resolution passed on 16 September 2015 the Bank’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to increase the share capital by a maximum amount of € 1,200,000,000, by issuing 1,783,449,976 ordinary shares, with regular dividend and a face value of € 0.31 each, to be offered as an option to the Bank’s shareholders on the basis of a ratio of 2 shares for every 1 ordinary share held, at a unit price of € 0.67285 (of which € 0.36285 by way of share premium). With a note of 22 January 2016, Reference No. 0005855/16, Consob communicated the authorisation for publication of the prospectus; the offer closed on 9/2/2016 with subsequent full subscription by the Parent Company of the unopted portion. The operation was registered at the Companies Register on 16 February 2016. The current share capital therefore amounts to € 829,304,238.84 and is represented by 2,675,174,964 shares with a unit par value of € 0.31. The composition updated to 16 February 2016 was the following: Shareholder Number of shares Amount in units Percentage of one Euro Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA 2,674,469,255 829,085,469.05 99.97% I.N.A.I.L. 239,634 74,286.54 0.01% Other shareholders 466,075 144,483.25 0.02% Total 2,675,174,964 829,304,238.84 100.00% Among the “other shareholders” there are also numerous public bodies. Equity investments in MPS Capital Services S.p.A. held by Public Administrations Starting from 2007 various legislative changes have been made with the aim of inducing public bodies to review and rationalise their non-strategic equity investments: Italian Law No. 244 of 24 December 2007, (the so-called 2008 Budget Law); Italian Law No. 147 of 27 December 2013 (the so-called 2014 Stability Law) and finally Italian Law No. 190 of 23 December 2014 (the so-called 2015 Stability Law). In particular, this last imposed on local authorities and other public bodies a process of rationalising the equity interests held both directly and indirectly, aimed at the disposal, by 31 December 2015, of companies and equity interests not functional to pursuance of their institutional purposes.

ISSN 1594-7939 (print) ISSN 2281-3950 (online) Printed by the Printing and Publishing Division of the Bank of Italy ASYMMETRIC INFORMATION IN CORPORATE LENDING: EVIDENCE FROM SME BOND MARKETS by Alessandra Iannamorelli†, Stefano Nobili†, Antonio Scalia† and Luana Zaccaria‡ Abstract Using a comprehensive dataset of Italian SMEs, we find that differences between private and public information on creditworthiness affect firms’ decisions to issue debt securities. Surprisingly, our evidence supports positive (rather than adverse) selection. Holding public information constant, firms with better private fundamentals are more likely to access bond markets. Additionally, credit conditions improve for issuers following the bond placement, compared with a matched sample of non-issuers. These results are consistent with a model where banks offer more flexibility than markets during financial distress and firms may use market lending to signal credit quality to outside stakeholders.

  • Bond Implied Risks Around Macroeconomic Announcements *
    Bond Implied Risks Around Macroeconomic Announcements * Xinyang Li† Abstract Using a large panel of Treasury futures and options, I construct model-free measures of bond uncertainty and tail risk across different tenors, showing that bond tail risk works as a good indicator for recessions since it remains moderate during normal times and suddenly enlarges before financial crises. Besides the term structure and cyclicality of bond implied risks, I document three novel findings regarding their movement around announcements by the US Federal Reserve: First, measures of stock and bond uncertainty increase two days prior to the announcements and revert back upon release. Second, the pre-FOMC announcement drift also prevails in Treasury bonds, such that yields of the 5, 10 and 30 years shrink 1 bp on the day before the announcement. Third, variation in uncertainty predicts the positive stock return and bond yield change, but its jump prior to the FOMC meeting has an offsetting impact. Nevertheless, neither the global positive nor the local negative effect is large enough to fully explain the pre-FOMC announcement drift. Keywords: Treasury implied risks, Monetary policy, Pre-FOMC announcement drift JEL Classification: E52, G12, G14 This Version: August 2020 *All errors are mine. †Questrom School of Business, Boston University, Email: fi[email protected]. The recent disruptions in global financial markets in Spring 2020 are a stark reminder of the significant uncertainty faced by investors after the default of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Option markets are particularly suited to gauge such manifestations of uncertainty because they capture market participants’ future expectations. Particular attention is paid to the so-called VIX index, an implied-volatility index calculated from S&P500 options, which climbed to new heights in March 2020.

  • Interest Rate Futures Option Tutorial
    Interest Rate Future Options and Valuation FinPricing Interest Rate Future Option Summary ◆ Interest Rate Future Option Definition ◆ Advantages of Trading Interest Rate Future Options ◆ Valuation ◆ A Real World Example Interest Rate Future Option Interest Rate Future Option Definition ◆ An interest rate future option gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy or sell an interest rate future at a specified price on a specified date. ◆ Interest rate future options are usually traded in an exchange. ◆ It is used to hedge against adverse changes in interest rates. ◆ The buyer normally can exercise the option on any business day (American style) prior to expiration by giving notice to the exchange. ◆ Option sellers (writers) receive a fixed premium upfront and in return are obligated to buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified price. ◆ Option writers are exposed to unlimited liability. Interest Rate Future Option Advantages of Trading Interest Rate Futures Options ◆ An investor who expected short-term interest rates to decline would also be expecting the price of the future contracts to increase. Thus, they might be inclined to purchase a 3-month Eurodollar futures call option to speculate on their belief. ◆ The advantage of future options over options of a spot asset stems from the liquidity of futures contracts. ◆ Futures markets tend to be more liquid than underlying cash markets. ◆ Interest rate futures options are leveraged instruments. Interest Rate Future Option Valuation ◆ The price of an interest rate future option is quoted by the exchange. ◆ A model is mainly used for calculating sensitivities and managing risk. ◆ European option approximation ◆ Interest rate future options are normally American options.
