Introduction Banca delle Marche S.p.A. (the “Bank”) was established as a joint stock company (società per azioni) on 1 November 1994, with a duration until 31 December 2090 as result of the merger between Banca Carima S.p.A. (established in 1846 as Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Macerata) and Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro S.p.A. (established in 1841). On 31 December 1995, Cassa di Risparmo di Jesi S.p.A. (established in 1844) was merged into the Bank. On 30 June 2003, Mediocredito Fondiario Centroitalia S.p.A., a subsidiary of the Bank, merged with the Bank. The Bank is one of the major banks in terms of total assets in central Italy. The Bank’s activities are concentrated in the Marche region, on the east side of central Italy. As at 31 December 2005 the Bank had 265 branches, located in the regions of Marche (226 branches), Lazio (13 branches), Umbria (11 branches), Emilia-Romagna (7 branches) and Abruzzo (8 branches). The Bank is domiciled in the Republic of Italy and it is registered in the Register of Banks at no. 5236.5 and in the Register of Banking Groups at no. 6055.8. Its registered office is at Via Menicucci, 4/6 in Ancona, with telephone number +3907315391 (switchboard), and its Head Office is at Via Alessandro Ghislieri 6, in Jesi, Ancona. The Bank’s traditional customer base comprises principally retail customers, small and medium-sized businesses and sole traders in the Marche region. The Bank is a full-service bank providing a wide range of services and products to its customers, including current and savings accounts, secured and unsecured loan facilities, mortgage lending, import and export financing facilities, asset management and other investment and savings products. As at 31 December 2005 the Bank’s non-consolidated total assets were Euro 13,700 million (Euro 12,171 million as at 31 December 2004) and its non-consolidated shareholders’ equity (after distribution of dividends for the year 2005) was Euro 791,301,963. As at 31 December 2005, the Bank had issued and fully paid share capital of Euro 386,476,841 held by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Macerata (20.94 per cent.), Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro (20.94 per cent.), Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Jesi (10.03 per cent.), Commercial Union Italia S.p.A. (2.49 per cent.), Aviva Italia Holding S.p.A.(5.80 per cent.), San Paolo IMI (7.00 per cent.) and with the remainder held by a large number of private shareholders (32.70 per cent.). As at 31 December 2005, 0.08 per cent. of the share capital was held in the Bank’s own portfolio. The Bank’s shares are not listed on any stock exchange, but they are traded through an organised trading system. As at the date of this Prospectus, the following rating was assigned to the Bank by Moody’s: Long-term: Baa1 Short-term: P-2 In addition to being the principal operating entity, the Bank is also the holding company in the banking group (the “Group”), which comprised, as at 31 December 2005, the Bank and its five wholly or majority owned subsidiaries: Focus Gestioni SGR S.p.a. (98.00 per cent.), Marcheriscossioni S.p.a. (100.00 per cent.), Medioleasing S.p.A. (100.00 per cent), Carilo-Cassa di Risparmio di Loreto S.p.A. (“Carilo”) (78.81 per cent.) and Banca Marche Gestione Internazionale Lux S.A. (99.98 per cent). 4 These five subsidiaries are fully consolidated with the Bank for the purposes of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Strategy In 2005 the Bank began work on the projects identified in the Bank’s Strategic Plan, which had been approved in November 2004 for the three years 2005-2007 and which reaffirmed the value of the Bank’s independence and of maximum management efficiency in maintaining the role of the Banking Group in the service of the territory and its customer segments. The actions identified – which aim to define new priorities for intervention, lines of development and organisational and managerial measures capable of ensuring balanced and sustainable growth prospects – fit into the framework of the industrial and operational synergies with Banca Marche’s banking and insurance partners, further enhancing the Bank’s active participation in the productive, commercial and social events that express the vitality and character of the territories in which it works. The emphasis put on commercial strategies and the establishment of structured and shared working methods is translated into information, instruments and systems of management and monitoring in support of new service models that take account of the specific nature of the various customer segments, and develop, in a logic of multi-channelling, more efficient and better structured relationships.
