  UniCredit S.p.A. (“UniCredit”) announces that, having received all necessary approvals from the relevant authorities, it has today completed the internalisation of its life bancassurance business in Italy, acquiring full control of the joint ventures with CNP Assurances S.A. (“CNP Assurances”) and Allianz S.p.A. (“Allianz”).   As an effect of the closing of the acquisition, CNP UniCredit Vita S.p.A. has been renamed UniCredit Life Insurance (“ULI”), while UniCredit Allianz Vita S.p.A. has been renamed UniCredit Vita Assicurazioni (“UVA”).   Alessandro Santoliquido has been appointed CEO of both companies alongside his role as Head of Group Insurance.   ULI and UVA are expected to merge in 2026: the resulting new Italian life bancassurance company represents a significant expansion of the Client Solutions factories and will hold a leadership position in high-value segments such as unit-linked and term life policies.   In line with the relevant regulations, UniCredit plans to apply for recognition of the Danish Compromise once classified as a Financial Conglomerate.   Following long-standing partnerships with two of the most reputable global insurance groups, CNP Assurances and Allianz, the internalisation of the life bancassurance factories in Italy will allow UniCredit to:   ·       build an efficient company in a fee-based sector where UniCredit is already one of the leading players; ·       extract business synergies to further strengthen service levels and the value for money offered to customers, while also driving a substantial growth of the business.   The current set-up of the Italian non-life bancassurance business will not be impacted and will continue to operate through the joint venture UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni S.p.A. under the terms communicated to the market in January 2022.   The impact of the transaction on the Group's second quarter CET1 ratio is expected to be circa -25 basis points. This impact is expected to be neutralized once UniCredit will be recognised as a fully-fledged Financial Conglomerate subject to supplementary supervision and it obtains the application of the Danish Compromise.   UniCredit expects the two transactions will substantially contribute to the EUR 0.4 billion growth in insurance annual revenues by FY27, compared to FY24.   Alessandro Santoliquido, Head of Group Insurance at UniCredit, commented: “This transaction is a key milestone in the journey towards the creation of a leading life insurance company in Italy. Our aim is to become the market reference point not only in terms of size, but also for efficiency, product innovation and quality of customer service. Our commitment is now to carry out the merger as quickly as possible, to enter the next stage of growth offering customers the best available solutions”.     Key figures   In 2024, the two companies, UAV and CUV, collected roughly EUR 8.6 billion of Gross Written Premiums (with a market share of 7.2% of the whole life insurance market), with total technical reserves of about EUR 45.6 billion.   In Italy, in 2024, UniCredit’s life bancassurance business generated circa EUR 580 million in distribution fees (13.4% of UniCredit’s total net commissions in Italy), in addition to over EUR 100 million of profits from its shareholdings in the two companies.   Milan, 20 June 2025   Contacts:  Media Relations e-mail: mediarelations@unicredit.eu Investor Relations  e-mail: InvestorRelations@unicredit.eu

  UniCredit (issuer rating Baa1/BBB+/BBB+) has successfully issued a Tier 2 subordinated bond with a 12-year maturity, callable after 7 years, targeted at institutional investors thus reaffirming its solid fixed income investor base and market access capacity across different formats. The amount issued is equal to EUR 1.0 billion.   This is the first Tier 2 issuance in 2025paying a fixed coupon of 4.175% until June 2032 and with an issue price of 99.928%, equivalent to a spread of 180 bps over the reference mid swap rate. If the issuer does not call the bonds after 7 years, the coupon for the subsequent period until maturity will be reset based to the then applicable 5-year swap rate, plus the initial spread.   Given the strong market feedback and the sizeable order book, the guidance which was initially set at 215 bps area over mid-swap, was strengthened and set at 180 bps.   The transaction had very strong demand from approximately 200 institutional investors, with an orderbook of over EUR 3.4 billion. The final allocation has been mainly in favor of funds (67%), with the following geographical distribution: UK (33%), France (33%) and Germany/Austria/Swiss (9%).   UniCredit Bank GmbH acted as sole Global Coordinator and as Joint Bookrunner together with Barclays, HSBC, ING, Mediobanca, Santander, SocGen and Toronto Dominion.   The bond, documented under the issuer's Euro Medium Term Notes Program, completes the subordinated issuance plan for 2025 and will be part of UniCredit's Tier 2 regulatory capital, contributing to the Total Capital Ratio.   In light of the subordinated status, the expected ratings are as follows: Ba1 (Moody’s); BBB- (S&P); BBB- (Fitch).   Listing will be on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.     Milan, 17 June 2025   Contacts:  Media Relations e-mail: MediaRelations@unicredit.eu Investor Relations e-mail: InvestorRelations@unicredit.eu

  UniCredit, the pan-European commercial bank, has successfully launched “Employee Share Ownership Plan - U Share” (“U Share” or the “Plan”), the share incentive plan for employees of UniCredit Group enabling personnel to directly access the material benefits of the Company’s success.   U Share, approved by Shareholders’ Meeting on April 12,2024 and also detailed in the 2025 Group Remuneration Policy, gives UniCredit Group employees the possibility to join their employer’s investor base.   The Group recognises that it is essential to unlock the potential of its people. The Plan’s purpose is to put the core value of ownership in action, thus further aligning interests between shareholders, management and staff with a global and consistent approach.   Eligible personnel can discretionally enrol to the Plan and commit to investing between a minimum of €500.00 and a maximum of €10,000.00 in the Company’s ordinary shares at market valuation with favourable terms.   In fact, UniCredit will contribute for each Plan participant, conditional on their stay with the Group throughout the intervening period:   -        Discount Shares: equal to 20% of the initial investment, in the form of additional “free of charge” shares or equity rights, to be assigned to the Plan participant, simultaneously with the Purchased shares at Plan Launch. These shares will vest in 18 months’ time.   -        Matching Shares: equal to 20% of the initial investment, in the form of additional shares on top of the Discount Shares, to be delivered after 36 months at U Share plan end. The distribution of Matching Shares is also conditional to the achievement of specific Group KPIs.   The U Share plan is a single-cycle plan and will end after 36 months.   “UniCredit’s success lays on the dedication and commitment that our people demonstrate across the network every day,” said Andrea Orcel, CEO UniCredit. “U Share is our way to reward the fundamental role they play in the achievement of our Group’s objectives and remarkable performance over the last four years. We are very pleased to launch this new plan, that is dedicated to all our people – they are the backbone of UniCredit. Now, investors, executives, and all our people are bound by one shared mission to elevate our support for clients, families, and local communities.”       Contact Media Relations: MediaRelations@unicredit.eu
