  6. UBI: THE FOCAL POINT OF THE CORPORATE DIVISION • UBI has combined the competencies in the corporate sector of a major national bank with those of six banks with a strong local presence • UBI’s core clients are companies with revenues of over 1.5 mln euro. This client segment covers around 120,000 companies that account for a total of 350 bln eurosbank loans • Of Italy’s 120,000 SMEs around 56,500 are UBI’s clients of which 41,000 (72%) have an open lending relationship with UBI % UBI clients with outstanding loans on core clients UBI Core Clients Client Coverage (*) Total Market 119,682 56,527 47% 72% Total corporate enterprises Largest groups 512 43% Other corporate and SMEs 56,015 72% (*) Client coverage refers to the number of UBI clients with outstanding loans, according to Italian Credit Bureau, relative to an estimate of the total number of corporate enterprises.

  11. ITALY’S MANUFACTURING SLOWDOWN HAS LASTED LONGER THAN IN PAST CYCLES, BUT THERE ARE CLEAR SIGNS OF RECOVERY AHEAD Industrial production index • Italy’s industrial production recovery considerably slower than in previous downturns… Note: The cyclical low is set at 100. X axis shows the number of months from the cyclical low 108 110 108 106 106 104 • … but recent data (e.g. orders and business turnover) highlight that the global recovery is finally reaching Italy 104 102 102 100 100 98 98 96 96 Turnover 3mma 94 94 Turnover Orders 3mma sc. dx 92 92 Orders sc. dx. 90 90 Apr-01 Oct-01 Apr-02 Oct-02 Apr-03 Oct-03 Apr-04 Source: UBI on ISTAT

  13. IN 2002-2003 CORPORATE LENDING GROWTH RATES WERE HIGHER THAN IN PREVIOUS PERIODS OF ECONOMIC WEAKNESS Corporate lending demand in 2002-2003 was associated with: • Cyclical factors • relatively high financing requirements (inventory building partly offsetting economic weakness) • low EBITDA • One-off factors • major M&A transactions (particularly in the second half of 2003) • Structural factors • low interest rates, enabling companies to maintain higher debt levels ‘96- ‘97 ‘02- ‘03 Corporate loans in cyclical downturns ‘93- ‘94 Nominal Corporate loans y/y % change 4.7 1.1 6.1 Nominal Investments y/y % change -0.9 4.2 3.3 (incl. inventories) y/y % change 8.2 3.2 0.2 EBITDA Short-term interest rates, % 12.5 10.9 5.4 Loans/ Value Added, % 86.6 80.8 96.6 Source: UBI on ISTAT and Bank of Italy

  14. IN COMING YEARS, CORPORATE LENDING SHOULD RETURN TO GROWTH RATES CONSISTENT WITH THE CYCLE… • The moderate economic recovery should keep corporate lending growth rates relatively low (around 5.9% on average in 2004-2007) • The influence of low interest rates on Italian companies’ debt levels should gradually lessen • The loans/value added ratio is higher than in the early 1990s and should remain at current levels Corporate loans, y/y % change Annual average End of period 2004 5.4 5.7 2005 7.0 6.4 2006 6.2 5.7 2007 5.1 4.8 Source: UBI on ISTAT and Bank of Italy

  15. … WHILE GROWTH IN MEDIUM/LONG-TERM LOANS SHOULD CONTINUE TO OUTDO SHORT-TERM LOAN GROWTH AS OCCURRED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS… Different trends in short-term and medium/long-term loans reflect: • Cyclical factors • cyclical weakness and low interest rates • One-off factors • debt restructuring undertaken by a number of large industrial groups • Structural factors • the propensity for companies to hold a higher proportion of medium/long-term debt in a trend towards convergence with the rest of Europe Corporate Loans, y/y % change Short term M/L term 2000 12.1 9.4 2001 12.2 7.2 2002 -0.8 12.4 Short-term corporate bank debt over total corporate bank debt 2003 0.1 12.9 Source: Bank of Italy

If Italian companies’ financial structures were to fully converge with those of the average of its European counterparts, medium + long-term lending flows could amount to more than double that level M/L term corporate over total corporate loans, % Source: UBI on Bank of Italy

  18. THE FINANCIAL EXPOSURE OF THE CORPORATE SECTOR APPEARS TO BE SUSTAINABLE • Forecast loan growth, in the presence of a cyclical recovery, is consistent with a strengthening in companies’ financial position: • EBITDA margins should outgrow net financial charges • the resulting increase in net profits implies improving self-financing capacity • this self-financing capacity should ensure that the overall financial balance of companies is not compromised even while financial debt increases • the ratio of financial debt to equity should fall from 94.8% at end-2002 to 92.6% at end- 2007 Source: UBI on BACH

  20. UBI’S SERVICE MODEL RELIES ON THE INTERACTION BETWEEN GENERALIST RELATIONSHIP MANAGERS AND PRODUCT SPECIALISTS GENERAL MANAGEMENT • The relationship manager: • has responsibility over the first assessment of a company’s creditworthiness and represents UBI’s single point of contact with the company; • is supported by a team of specialists in areas such as: • derivatives • foreign transactions • payment systems • corporate finance • Specialists: • provide support in identifying and executing transactions requiring in-depth, up-to-date knowledge • offer innovative products and tailor-made solutions that meet companies’ needs 4 REGIONAL MANAGEMENT BODIES • specialist products • derivatives • foreign transactions • payment systems • corporate finance 13 REGIONAL CO-MGMT BODIES 211 BRANCHES 48 FOREX CENTRES foreign assistant credit assistant 892 REL MNGRS COMPANY

  21. Segment New organisational model Tools • proprietary, IT based system for targeted commercial approach Groups • dedicated account managers and product specialists Mid corporate • increase commercial time of RM (reviewing of managed portfolio and higher number of assistants) • highly developed marketing and credit monitoring tools, to support commercial activity and monitor results Small corporate (< 5 mln turnover) • increase in number and frequency of meetings with RM • possible review of distribution model • dedicated product portfolio and credit approval channel to cut average response times • identification of prospects • commercial approach based on target characteristics and pre-approved lending offer • regional teams scouting for prospective clients for referral to local branches Prospective clients SEGMENTATION OF CORE CLIENTS BY SIZE AND TYPE OF COMPANY ALLOWS DIVERSIFIED APPROACHES FOR EACH SEGMENT

  22. UBI’S STRATEGY IS FOCUSED ON A BROAD, SELECTIVE AND “VERY HIGH QUALITY” CREDIT SUPPLY POLICY • Through its commercial strategy, UBI intends to encourage clients to : • focus on a smaller number of credit relationships and develop deeper and more exclusive commercial ties • migrate towards more complex and effective credit products, and away from traditional short term loans backed by personal guarantees • take action that will boost financial strength while offering specialised support for that purpose Strategy • District bond: completion of the first securitisation of M/L t. loans granted to Italian SMEs (in conjunction with a credit consortium in Italy’s North East) • Launch of several M/L t. offers for SMEs based on: • cash flows analysis and medium term credit standing • pricing according to UBI’s internal rating system and at levels consistent with credit spreads prevailing in the capital market • Definition of commercial offer known as the ‘pact for growth’ Recent actions

  23. THE ‘PACT FOR GROWTH’: A CREDIT OFFER WHICH ENCOURAGES COMPANIES TO STRENGTHEN THEIR FINANCIAL STRUCTURE IN EXCHANGE FOR BETTER LENDING CONDITIONS (i) • The traditional features of Italy’s corporate lending: • Prevalence of short term lending, often to cover long term assets • Weak financial indicators, often associated with solid industrial performance • Frequent use of personal guarantees by entrepreneurs to support credit applications Sample (# of companies) (1) Companies with loans backed by guarantees (2) (2)/(1) Companies with loans backed by personal guarantees (3) (3)/(1) Total Turnover, Euro mln 0-15 37,937 19,783 52% 14,853 39% 15-50 6,874 2,114 31% 1,542 22% 50-100 1,451 329 23% 194 13% > 100 1,108 268 24% 124 11% Total 47,730 22,494 47% 16,713 35% Source: UBI

  24. THE ‘PACT FOR GROWTH’ (ii) • Such ample use of personal guarantees implies that: • the availability of bank lending is often based on the creditworthiness of the entrepreneur rather than on the company’s true capacity to generate income • our estimates indicate that the banking system tends to overestimate the reduction in LGD* granted by personal guarantees • UBI is now marketing a credit offer – known as the‘pact for growth’ – based on the following features: • Offer of medium-/long-term financing of an amount that will improve the financial structure of the company • Require companies to increase equity by a level that will improve the company’s rating • Set covenants to be monitored every six months • If a satisfactory level of creditworthiness is reached, UBI is prepared to give up personal guarantees (*) LGD: Loss Given Default

  25. SUMMING UP • UBI strategy has been confirmed by recent results: UBI has increased its share of wallet, boosted fee revenues (ex. derivatives), while keeping an unchanged risk profile • To achieve further, significant growth UBI also needs to update its supply policy: the flow of Italian corporate lending should focus on medium to long term maturities • Both theeconomic and the lending scenarios should ensure that lending growth is achieved without a deterioration in creditworthiness • At the same time companies should migrate towards more complex and effective credit products, and away from traditional short term loans backed by personal guarantees. A reduction in Italy’s multibanking tradition is also likely • UBI’s service model, client segmentation and risk management capabilities put us in an ideal position to capture a more than proportional share of the new lending flows

  26. AGENDA • Francesco Giordano – Head of UBI Planning, Research and Strategy • Focus on Credit Quality

  27. Decaying rate (ex. Parmalat) Decaying rate AFTER A DETERIORATION – PARTLY DUE TO LARGE CORPORATE DEFAULTS – THE CREDIT ENVIRONMENT IS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE • The expected fall in the Italian corporate Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) rate relates to: • recovery in corporate earnings • only gradual increase in interest rates • debt to equity ratios stabilising or starting to fall • decreasing impact of major corporate defaults 3 • The stabilisation in the credit risk environment is confirmed by the most recent data: • Stocks of NPLs: up 16% in April, but unchanged from February • Watchlist loans (incagli) up 2.9% in December03, from 7.5% in 1H03 2.8 2.6 2.4 2.2 2 1.8 1.6 1.4 Note: the decaying rate is the ratio between the annualised NPLs flows and the stock of outstanding loans the year before 1.2 Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- Mar- Sep- 99 99 00 00 01 01 02 02 03 03 04 04 05 05 06 06 07 07 Source: UBI on Bank of Italy

  43. COUNTERPARTY RISK • MEASURING COUNTERPARTY RISK • Derivative portfolio size > €1,000b • Market risks are hedged through OTC trades with other market counterparties • Traditionally counterparty risk has been monitored using fixed coefficients • Need to quantify the effective cost of substitution • The cost of substitution is the value of each trade increased by the potential variation that may occur • Estimate the cost of substitution as the marked-to-market valuation plus a simple add-on METHOD’S ADVANTAGES • Quantifies more accurately the real counterparty risk • Uses standard product control techniques • Can be used with risk mitigation tools such as close-out netting and collateral agreements • When using netting, portfolio diversification is captured • Dynamic methodology in line with market variations • More in line with market practice and central bank models • Can bring in market risk techniques (substitution of the simple add-on with VaR)

  44. OPERATIONAL RISK • ASSESSING AND CONTROLLING OPERATIONAL RISK • Operational risk is defined as the risk of losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputational risk (Basel, September 2001) • Risk control is achieved through process mapping, risk assessment and business process reengineering • The “Operational risk control” project is an on-going activity that advances by gradual improvements • Main steps: • Definition of roles and responsibility • Implementation of techniques of process analysis and representation • Application development to support historical loss data collection • Study of risk assessment methodology to influence business process and control reengineering
