UniCredit crowned Global Bank of the Year 2024 by IFR International Financing Review

PRESS RELEASE
06 February 2025
  UniCredit named Global Bank of the Year 2024 and EMEA Loan House Award 2024 by IFR. This is UniCredit’s second time being awarded Bank of the Year in 2024, having previously won The Banker’s Bank of the Year and Bank of the Year in Europe awards.   IFR has recognised UniCredit’s global leadership, naming it the overall Bank of the Year 2024 and EMEA Loan House in its IFR Awards 2024.   The winners have been published on ifre.com on February 5 and in the IFR Awards supplement. The awards will be presented during its annual gala dinner ceremony in London on March 17.     With a pedigree stretching back over four decades, IFR (International Financing Review) is the world's leading provider of global capital markets intelligence. The IFR team is the largest and most experienced of any capital markets publication and comprises a careful blend of seasoned journalists and acknowledged industry professionals. The publication is uniquely qualified to offer unbiased expert commentary from all major financial hubs, ensuring the highest grade of quality journalism.   Commenting on the Awards won by UniCredit, Matthew Davies, editor in chief of IFR, said: "Andrea Orcel’s moves in the M&A market have taken all the headlines. Certainly, he has challenged European authorities to live up to their words on the banking union. But it is vital not to overlook the turnaround of UniCredit’s underlying business in the past few years. It has gone from an also-ran in the European banking industry to a leader. It is much more profitable, much more dynamic, and much more entrepreneurial than it was. That is great news for its clients – but also for the Italian and European banking sector”.   In recent years, UniCredit has relentlessly worked on its cultural and industrial transformation, committing to fundamental change to redefine its future, with the ambition of becoming the bank for Europe’s future.   Commenting on the Awards, Andrea Orcel, UniCredit CEO, said: “We are extremely proud of these achievements and what they represent about UniCredit’s transformation. UniCredit is a different institution today and, as we conclude the first phase of UniCredit Unlocked having achieved and exceeded all our objectives, it is a pleasure to reflect on how far we have come. We have emerged as the benchmark for banking excellence in Europe thanks to the hard work and dedication of our people, who strive relentlessly to deliver for our clients and their communities. These are their awards, and they should be very proud of what they have achieved."   UniCredit's excellence has also been recognized by the prestigious international magazine The Banker, part of the Financial Times group, which named UniCredit Bank of the Year and Bank of the Year in Europe in 2024.   Serving 15 million clients in 13 markets across Europe, UniCredit remains focused on supporting its clients and employees, while working to fulfil its purpose and empower communities to progress.     Milan, 6 February 2025      For further information, please contact: mediarelations@unicredit.eu

UniCredit lends 54.2 million euro to PLT Energia for the construction of 11 greenfield grid parity photovoltaic plants

PRESS RELEASE
28 January 2025
  The plants, with a total capacity of 61.1 MW, will be built in Piedmont, Tuscany, Lazio and Apulia The construction bridge financing on a grid-parity basis is an innovative financial structure for the photovoltaic sector in Italy   PLT Energia, one of Italy's largest independent player in the renewable energy sector from wind and solar sources, has signed with UniCredit - as Sole Mandate Lead Arranger, Bookrunner and Lender - a multi-line project financing agreement for a total amount of EUR 54.2 million.   The financing is functional to the construction of 11 greenfield photovoltaic plants in grid parity, some of which are already under construction, located in Piedmont, Tuscany, Lazio and Apulia, for a total capacity of 61.1 MW.   The transaction, a construction bridge financing, represents a novelty in the grid parity market in Italy in the photovoltaic sector, as the contractual structure adopted does not envisage the ex-ante finalization of PPA contracts, which can be negotiated more efficiently when the plants come into operation.   Once in operation, the plants will be able to generate an expected annual production  of over 104 GWh, capable of covering the annual energy needs of around 21,000 people while avoiding climate-altering emissions of over 52,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per year; considering a plant life of around thirty years, this will correspond to a saving of over 1,500,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents that will not be emitted into the atmosphere.   Stefano Marulli, CEO of PLT Energia, commented: “With this operation we continue the investments envisaged in our business plan, confirming the Group's leading role in the production of energy from renewable sources. UniCredit confirms itself as our reference partner to support the Group's growth plan and to structure articulated and innovative initiatives for the sector”.   Andrea Burchi, Regional Manager Central North UniCredit, remarked: “We are proud to once again support the development plans of PLT Energia, one of the undisputed protagonists of the Italian energy transition. This innovative financing operation, finalized thanks to the synergy between the Region Centro Nord and the Infrastructure & Export Financing team, represents a concrete contribution not only to the company's growth, but also to the strengthening of a key sector such as energy production from renewable sources. It is a further step that confirms our Group's commitment to promoting the transition towards a more sustainable future”.   As part of the transaction, UniCredit was assisted for legal advice by the firm Bonelli Erede, for technical advice by Fichtner Italia, for insurance-related profiles by Marsh and for the auditing of the financial model by PwC Advisory. PLT Energia was assisted by Studio Tributario e Legale Rossi & Partners for the legal aspects related to hedging financing.   Milan, 28 January 2025     Contacts: Media Relations Email: mediarelations@unicredit.eu
