What must Shareholders do to attend and vote at the Meeting?
To participate and vote, shareholders must ask their authorised financial intermediaries to notify UniCredit of their attendance. Eligibility is based on ownership at the end of the record date, the seventh trading day before the meeting on first or single call.

The record date determines who has the right to attend and vote. Only those who hold shares as registered at the end of the record date may exercise these rights.

The records (credit or debit) carried out on the accounts of the intermediary after said deadline will not be considered for the purpose of having the right to vote at the Shareholders' Meeting.

What is UniCredit's view on investing in cryptocurrencies?
UniCredit maintains a neutral stance on investments in cryptocurrencies and financial instruments with cryptocurrency underlying.
UniCredit does not currently promote or permit direct investment in cryptocurrencies.
In some UniCredit Group geographies, clients who are enabled for investment services on domestic and international markets—and whose MiFID profile permits it—may independently invest in Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) with cryptocurrency underlyings, provided these instruments are listed on regulated markets (RMs) or multilateral trading facilities (MTFs). This activity is conducted at the client's own initiative and does not involve the provision of investment advice by UniCredit.
Also in certain geographies, certificates referencing ETPs that replicate the performance of cryptocurrencies may be made available exclusively to professional clients.
