Background
         Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa (“UBI Banca”) was formed following the merger of the BPU Banca and Banca
          Lombarda e Piemontese Groups (1st April 2007)
         The history of UBI Banca is marked by a succession of mergers which have led banks with strong roots in local
          communities to become the significant reality that exists today and employs approximately 18,000 people.

                                                                                                                                            Birth of the “BPU

Background
     UBI Banca is a cooperative bank (“società cooperativa”). 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.
                                                                                                                                          The said principles
     UBI Banca is the only bank of the Group which is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange and included in the                              are equally applied
     FTSE/MIB index.                                                                                                                       to listed and non-
                                                                                                                                         listed popular banks
     No one may hold shares amounting to more than 1% of the share capital (with the exception of collective
     investment companies)

     As at December 2014, voting shareholders number nearly 79,237*

     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)
                                                                                                      48.9
