At the conclusion of the competitive selection process launched by the bank in the last quarter of 2021, UniCredit and Prelios have signed an agreement for the specialized management of Unlikely-To Pay (UTP) loans.   The agreement with Prelios, a leading market operator, has as its main objective the maximization of returns to performing and the resulting positive impact on the bank's customers, with direct benefits on the real economy and the Italian productive and social environment. It also represents for UniCredit an important part of the strategy to enhance the value of the non-performing portfolio, while allowing a reduction in the stock of impaired loans.   The long-term agreement calls for Prelios to be the preferred partner in the management of UTP loans in the corporate segment held by UniCredit: an initial stock under management for the year 2022 will be complemented by future flows of new UTP loans for the next six years.   At the same time, Prelios advised UniCredit in the sale and securitization of a UTP loan portfolio, mainly in the Corporate and SME segments, amounting to approximately € 2 billion gross of value adjustments, of which it will be master and special servicer pursuant to Law 130/99.   This transaction allows UniCredit to achieve the full accounting deconsolidation of the portfolio in the second quarter of 2022 with the private equity fund Christofferson, Robb and Company ("CRC") as the main investor of the Mezzanine and Junior notes.   UniCredit was assisted by PwC and Deloitte as financial advisors, by Chiomenti, BonelliErede and Uniqlegal as legal advisors. Prelios was assisted by Bain & Company as strategic advisor, KPMG and EY as financial advisors, CRCCD and Linklaters as legal advisors.   "The partnership with Prelios represents a significant step forward in addressing the potential post-pandemic aftermath of Italian companies in a structural manner. We are constantly committed to identify the most effective tools to support our customers, in this case favoring their return to better performance along a path of economically sustainable growth over time" Andrea Orcel, CEO of UniCredit commented.   "The choice of UniCredit strengthens our position as market leader in the management of UTP credits" stated Fabrizio Palenzona, President of the Prelios Group, "and allows us to support the real economy of our country, helping to bring the largest possible number of companies back to performing. This is the mission that Prelios pursues with strength and with even greater determination and efficiency, collaborating with credit institutions and all those involved. Personally, finding myself as a partner of the bank I helped to found is a source of great pride and equal responsibility ".              Contacts   UniCredit Media Relations email: MediaRelations@unicredit.eu

  • Recent activity confirms UniCredit’s position as a leading arranger and financier of European fibre optic networks, as well as the bank’s commitment to the development of digital infrastructure.   • Open Fiber deal represents biggest-ever EMEA financing transaction in telecommunications networks.   UniCredit has played a key role in the financing of European fibre optic networks in recent months, bringing fibre-to-the-home (‘FTTH’) connections to over 34 million households as the region looks to improve its connectivity to meet European Union objectives.   In Italy, the bank concretely supported Open Fiber’s EUR 7.17 billion project financing agreement to fund the development of a national fibre optic network that will connect 24 million households over the next six years – thereby advancing the Italian government’s agenda to close the ‘digital divide’.   The deal itself represents the biggest-ever EMEA financing transaction in telecommunications networks.   In Germany, over the last fifteen months, UniCredit has been at the forefront of project financing agreements with Deutsche Glasfaser, GlasfaserPlus and Unsere Grüne Glasfaser. Taken together, these projects are expected to bring FTTH connections to over ten million households.   Elsewhere in Romania, UniCredit advised Meridiam Infrastructure around the roll out of Bucharest’s fiber network – assisting the client in raising a EUR 55 million financing package.   Goffredo Guizzardi, UniCredit’s Head of Specialised Lending, commented: “Recently syndicated deals involving Open Fiber, Deutsche Glasfaser, GlasfaserPlus and Unsere Grüne Glasfaser both confirm UniCredit’s steadfast commitment to supporting clients in the digital space and the bank’s pan-European credentials. Moving forward, we want to continue to play an active role in the provision of fast and future-proof internet services – consolidating our position as one of the leading telecom banks in Europe whilst empowering our communities to progress.”     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:   JUNE 2022 – UniCredit supports Open Fiber in EUR 7.17 billion project financing to fund the development of a national fibre-optic network to connect 24 million households over next six years   In its capacity as Mandated Lead Arranger, Underwriter and Bookrunner, Agent, Account and Guarantee Issuing Bank, UniCredit supported the successful closing and syndication of a EUR 7.17 billion project financing agreement with Open Fiber, which currently represents the biggest-ever EMEA financing transaction in telecommunications networks. Open Fiber is the largest FTTH network operator in Europe and the project benefits from the support of strategic sponsors CDP and Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 6 SCSP. The new business plan rests on the wholesale-only model which Open Fiber pioneered from the outset, a technologically advanced network available to all operators on equal terms, built on environmental, economic and social sustainability. The project covers both commercially attractive areas (ca. 19.3 million households), as well as less dense areas (overall ca. 4.3m households), benefitting from public grants of roughly EUR 3.7 billion made available from the PNRR to finance up to 70% of the investments’ costs to deploy the network.     APRIL 2022 – UniCredit supports GlasfaserPlus GmbH in EUR 2.15 billion project financing to fund roll out of FTTH network across rural and semi-rural Germany   In its capacity as Bookrunner, Underwriter, Mandated Lead Arranger, Facility and Security Agent, UniCredit supported the successful closing and syndication of a EUR 2.15 billion financing for GlasfaserPlus GmbH – a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and the IFM Global Infrastructure Fund (advised by IFM Investors) which expects to build roughly four million FTTH connections across Germany by 2028.     MARCH 2022 – UniCredit advises Meridiam Infrastructure around roll out of Bucharest fiber network   In its capacity as Sole M&A and Debt Adviser, UniCredit advised Meridiam Infrastructure around the roll out of Bucharest’s fiber network.
