The Board of Statutory Auditors' members currently in office were appointed by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 11, 2019 and their term of office will expire on the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the 2021 financial statements. In filing slates for renewal of the control body for the financial years 2019-2011, shareholders were invited to take into account the results of an analysis carried out by the UniCredit Board of Directors, in agreement with the outgoing Board of Statutory Auditors, on the body's composition deemed optimal to ensure the proper performance of the functions assigned to it, due in particular to the increasing complexity of the Italian and European provisions concerning requirements for serving as a bank corporate officers.

Starting from its 2019 renewal, the 231 Supervisory Body's duties are carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors according to the Legislative Decree no. 231 dated June 8, 2001.
