Via Po, 32 00198 ROME VAT No. 00891231003 9 MPS CAPITAL SERVICES BANCA PER LE IMPRESE Financial Statements at 31 December 2016 Ratings The following ratings have been assigned to the Bank by Moody’s Investors Service Ltd: LONG-TERM DEBT RATING: B2 SHORT-TERM DEBT RATING: Not Prime FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATING: ca At the end of financial year 2016 the Moody’s international rating agency completed the revision of the rating of the Italian banking system which, with the introduction of the new methodology, is even more closely tied to the creditworthiness of the Sovereign Entity (Italy’s rating at the end of financial year 2016: Baa2 with outlook negative). While the rating on the financial strength of the MPS Group, and thus also of MPS Capital Services, went down to class ca following the unsuccessful capital increase, the rating on long-term deposits, benefiting from 2 notches of government support, rose by a notch from B3 to B2, although constantly subject to revision. 10 Financial Statements at 31 December 2016 MPS CAPITAL SERVICES BANCA PER LE IMPRESE Shareholding Structure anca Monte dei Paschi di Siena controls the company with a shareholding which, as of 31/12/2016, is 99.98%, Bas shown in the chart below: MPS CAPITAL SERVICES EQUITY STRUCTURE others I.N.A.I.L. 0,01% 0,01% MPS 99,98% For completeness of information we can note that: • in February 2016 the capital increase resolved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 16 September 2015 was completed with the issue of 1,783,449,976 new ordinary shares, with a face value of € 0.31 each, at a unit price of € 0.67285 (of which € 0.36285 as share premium). The share capital increase was fully subscribed and paid up. The unopted shares were subscribed by Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena. The share capital therefore went up from € 276,434,746.28 to € 829,304,238.84 and the share premium reserve from € 228,089,231.13 to € 875,214,054.92 with a total increase of the bank's shareholders’ equity of € 1,199,994,316.35. • in execution of the resolution passed by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 20 June 2016, on 5 August 2016 a reverse stock split of MPSCS ordinary shares was carried out in a ratio of 1 new ordinary share for every 10,000 shares held. Following the reverse stock split the total share capital of € 829,304,238.84 remained unchanged. 11 REPORT ON OPERATIONS Financial Statements at 31 December 2016 MPS CAPITAL SERVICES BANCA PER LE IMPRESE Reference Context 016 was characterised by various events, not foreseen by the leading specialised companies, which caught the 2markets and public opinion by surprise. Among these we can mention the winning the pro-“Brexit” vote in the referendum, Trump winning the US presidential election and the decision of OPEC (together with other important global producers that are not members of the cartel) to reduce oil production to boost the price. However the apocalyptic scenarios envisaged in the event of a victory of YES to Brexit or of the arrival of Trump in the White House, did not come to pass; indeed, exactly the opposite occurred.

Editorial Assistants: Alessandra Giammarco, Roberto Marano. 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.

  • 307439 Ferdig Master Thesis
    Master's Thesis Using Derivatives And Structured Products To Enhance Investment Performance In A Low-Yielding Environment - COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL - MSc Finance And Investments Maria Gjelsvik Berg P˚al-AndreasIversen Supervisor: Søren Plesner Date Of Submission: 28.04.2017 Characters (Ink. Space): 189.349 Pages: 114 ABSTRACT This paper provides an investigation of retail investors' possibility to enhance their investment performance in a low-yielding environment by using derivatives. The current low-yielding financial market makes safe investments in traditional vehicles, such as money market funds and safe bonds, close to zero- or even negative-yielding. Some retail investors are therefore in need of alternative investment vehicles that can enhance their performance. By conducting Monte Carlo simulations and difference in mean testing, we test for enhancement in performance for investors using option strategies, relative to investors investing in the S&P 500 index. This paper contributes to previous papers by emphasizing the downside risk and asymmetry in return distributions to a larger extent. We find several option strategies to outperform the benchmark, implying that performance enhancement is achievable by trading derivatives. The result is however strongly dependent on the investors' ability to choose the right option strategy, both in terms of correctly anticipated market movements and the net premium received or paid to enter the strategy. 1 Contents Chapter 1 - Introduction4 Problem Statement................................6 Methodology...................................7 Limitations....................................7 Literature Review.................................8 Structure..................................... 12 Chapter 2 - Theory 14 Low-Yielding Environment............................ 14 How Are People Affected By A Low-Yield Environment?........ 16 Low-Yield Environment's Impact On The Stock Market........

  • 11 Option Payoffs and Option Strategies
    11 Option Payoffs and Option Strategies Answers to Questions and Problems 1. Consider a call option with an exercise price of $80 and a cost of $5. Graph the profits and losses at expira- tion for various stock prices. 73 74 CHAPTER 11 OPTION PAYOFFS AND OPTION STRATEGIES 2. Consider a put option with an exercise price of $80 and a cost of $4. Graph the profits and losses at expiration for various stock prices. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS 75 3. For the call and put in questions 1 and 2, graph the profits and losses at expiration for a straddle comprising these two options. If the stock price is $80 at expiration, what will be the profit or loss? At what stock price (or prices) will the straddle have a zero profit? With a stock price at $80 at expiration, neither the call nor the put can be exercised. Both expire worthless, giving a total loss of $9. The straddle breaks even (has a zero profit) if the stock price is either $71 or $89. 4. A call option has an exercise price of $70 and is at expiration. The option costs $4, and the underlying stock trades for $75. Assuming a perfect market, how would you respond if the call is an American option? State exactly how you might transact. How does your answer differ if the option is European? With these prices, an arbitrage opportunity exists because the call price does not equal the maximum of zero or the stock price minus the exercise price. To exploit this mispricing, a trader should buy the call and exercise it for a total out-of-pocket cost of $74.

  • Comunicato Stampa Finanziamento SACE
    EXECUTED A FACILITY AGREEMENT FOR €100 MILLION GUARANTEED BY SACE THROUGH THE ORDINARY PROCEDURE MADE AVAILABLE UNDER THE LIQUIDITY DECREE • Credit line of €100 million, 80% guaranteed by SACE through the Garanzia Italia • Term of 4 years and 3 months and 24-month grace period ( preammortamento ) Venezia Mestre, 24 June 2020 – OVS S.p.A. has executed a facility agreement for €100 million to strengthen its financial structure. The new financing – while also enabled by sound financial performance and financial position indicators – benefited from the financial support provided by the Italian government through the decrees issued in response to the emergency caused by the COVID-19, involving several major Italian players in the credit system, including Cassa depositi e prestiti, as well as SACE which issued the “Garanzia Italia”. This is the first financing transaction guaranteed by the “Garanzia Italia” issued following the ordinary procedure, activated given the size of the Group which, as required by the "Liquidity" Decree, led to preliminary activities by SACE following the request from the pool of banks and also the issue of a decree by the Minister of Economy and Finance. This liquidity will be used to normalize payments to Italian suppliers affected by the crisis and to advance the payments to employees who are eligible for the temporary redundancy fund benefits (Cassa integrazione) since direct payment by INPS has not yet taken place. Moreover, liquidity will also allow the advance payment of the “Cassa Integrazione Guadagni in Deroga” for the periods in which this is foreseen. The loan, drawn in a single instalment, shall terminate on 30 September 2024, with a grace period (preammortamento) of twenty-four months and repayment in ten equal quarterly instalments starting in June 2022.
