UniCredit launches a strategic process to fully internalize life bancassurance in Italy. Exercise of the rights to acquire CNP UniCredit Vita and UniCredit Allianz Vita majority stakes

PRESS RELEASE
25 September 2024 PRICE SENSITIVE
  UniCredit S.p.A. (“UniCredit”) has started the process to internalize its life bancassurance business in Italy through the termination of the current agreements with CNP Assurances S.A. (“CNP Assurances”) and Allianz S.p.A. (“Allianz”). This entails the exercise of the related rights to acquire CNP Assurances 51% stake in CNP UniCredit Vita S.p.A. (“CUV”) and Allianz’s 50% stake in UniCredit Allianz Vita S.p.A. (“UAV”). Upon closing, UniCredit will hold 100% in CUV and UAV.   Following long-standing partnerships with two of the most reputable global insurance groups such as CNP Assurances and Allianz, the internalization of life bancassurance factories in Italy will allow UniCredit to accelerate growth in a commission-focused sector with attractive profitability where UniCredit is already one of the leading players, extract business synergies and further strengthen the service level offered to customers.   The current set-up of the non-life bancassurance business will not be impacted and will continue to be operated through the joint ventures with Allianz at the terms communicated to the market in January 2022.   As part of the mentioned internalization process, the Board of Directors of UniCredit approved: (1) the termination of the shareholders’ agreement with CNP Assurances and the simultaneous exercise of the call option on the entire stake (51%) held by CNP Assurances in CUV and (2) the termination of the shareholders’ agreement with Allianz and the related acquisition of the entire stake (50%) held by Allianz in UAV.   The exercise of the call option on CUV is based on the terms of the shareholders’ agreement entered in 2017, as amended from time to time. Under this agreement, the purchase price will be determined through a specific procedure based on agreed methodologies.   The exercise of the termination right from the agreement with Allianz and related acquisition of the Allianz stake in UAV is based on the terms of the shareholders’ agreement originally entered in 1996, last renewed in 2022. Also under this agreement, the purchase price will be determined through a specific procedure based on agreed methodologies. The process, among other, foresees the engagement of an independent expert to certify the purchase price.   For both companies, which are planned to be eventually merged, operations will rely on the current setup including, for a transitional period, on the services provided by the current insurance partners, according to the shareholders’ agreements.   Closing of each of the transactions is subject to the standard authorizations by the competent authorities and is expected in 2025.   Upon closing, the two companies will report managerially to the recently created bancassurance division led by Alessandro Santoliquido who is responsible for overseeing the insurance business at Group level.   The transactions will be cash funded. The impact on the Group’s capital position will depend on the purchase prices that will be determined. Based on preliminary estimates, the overall impact on the Group’s CET1 ratio is expected to be approximately 20bps, as a result of UniCredit being acknowledged by ECB as a fully-fledged financial conglomerate subject to supplementary supervision and the application of the Danish Compromise.   Key figures In 2023 the two companies, UAV and CUV, collected roughly Euro 7.5bn of Gross Written Premiums, with total technical reserves of about Euro 44.9bn.   In Italy, the Life Bancassurance business generated circa €500m in distribution fees (12% of total Italy fees) in 2023, on top of the circa €85m of profits from the shareholdings in the two companies.     Milan, 25 September 2024   Contacts Media Relations e mail: mediarelations@unicredit.eu Investor Relations e mail: InvestorRelations@unicredit.eu

UniCredit enters into additional instruments relating to Commerzbank shares and increases its aggregate position to ca. 21%

PRESS RELEASE
23 September 2024 PRICE SENSITIVE
  Consistent with its statement on 11 September 2024, UniCredit submitted the required regulatory filing for acquiring a stake in Commerzbank in excess of 10% up to 29.9%.   Meanwhile, UniCredit has today entered into financial instruments relating to ca. 11.5% Commerzbank shares,  Physical settlement under the new financial instruments may only occur after the required approvals have been obtained. Together with the position of ca. 9% communicated previously, UniCredit’s overall position now totals ca. 21%.    The majority of UniCredit’s economic exposure has been hedged to provide it with full flexibility and optionality to either retain its shareholding, sell its participation with a floored downside, or increase the stake further.  This will depend on the outcome of engagement with Commerzbank, its management and supervisory boards as well as its wider stakeholders in Germany.      UniCredit believes that there is substantial value that can be unlocked within Commerzbank, either stand-alone or within UniCredit, for the benefit of Germany and the bank’s wider stakeholders.  However, as was the case for UniCredit, such potential requires action for it to be crystalized.     In line with the recent EU Commission report, UniCredit shares the belief that a strong banking union within Europe is key to the continent’s economic success and through it, the prosperity of each one of its nations.  Ensuring growth and competitiveness within the German banking sector is critical for both the German economy and for Europe as a whole.   In every one of the 12 markets where we are present across Europe, UniCredit has proven itself to be a committed, supportive and respectful participant.  Specifically in Germany, we have been present for nearly 20 years, supporting our employees and serving our clients, faithfully delivering an all-round comprehensive product offering and performance.   Whilst this situation and what it could lead to requires careful consideration, the primary focus for UniCredit’s management team remains on the continued execution of UniCredit Unlocked and the delivery of sustainable profitable growth and distributions for shareholders.  Indeed, this is where UniCredit continues to believe it can extract the most value for all its stakeholders.   Milan, 23 September 2024   Contacts: Media Relations: e-mail: MediaRelations@unicredit.eu Investor Relations: e-mail: InvestorRelations@unicredit.eu

UniCredit: ECB approves € 1.7 bn tranche of the 2024 share buy-back programme

PRESS RELEASE
13 September 2024 PRICE SENSITIVE
  UniCredit S.p.A ("UniCredit", "The Company") informs it has received ECB authorization for the execution of the first tranche of the 2024 share buy-back programme for a maximum of Euro 1.7 billion.   The approval was based on financial information provided by UniCredit that demonstrated a robust position in stress scenarios. UniCredit's CET1 ratio of 16.2% as of 30 June 2024 already reflects this distribution.   Together with the proposed 2024 interim dividend and the 2023 distributions already executed this year, 2024 calendar year distribution shall reach circa Euro 10 billion, or a total yield of over 16% solely through capital generation and hence without denting CET1. This confirms UniCredit's ability to provide shareholders with attractive and sustainable distributions while maintaining capital strength.   The share buy-back – for which all relevant approvals have been received - is expected to commence as soon as possible, subject to market conditions.   Milan, 13 September 2024     Contacts Media Relations: e-mail MediaRelations@unicredit.eu Investor Relations: e-mail InvestorRelations@unicredit.eu
