1 The indicators have been calculated using the reclassified figures contained in the section “The 2008 and 2007 Reclassified financial<br />

statements (proforma) and reconciliations”.<br />

Information on the share is given in the relative section of this management report.<br />

2 Totals for human resource numbers are stated net of transfers on secondment (to and from) other companies in the Group in relation<br />

to the significant number of staff working on transfer from <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> at other Group companies and at <strong>UBI</strong>.S in particular ( (914 at<br />

the end of 2008 and 1.072 in 2007). The figure stated therefore represents the number of staff actually employed at <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to<br />

perform the activities of the Parent Bank.<br />

473 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A


The 2008 and 2007 (pro-forma) reclassified<br />

financial statements and reconciliations<br />

Notes on the financial statements<br />

The mandatory financial statements prepared on the basis of Bank of Italy Circular No. 262 of<br />

22 nd December 2005 and subsequent amendments and additions incorporate the balance<br />

sheet and income statement figures for the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese from 1 st<br />

April 2007, the date on which the merger took effect.<br />

In order to allow a uniform comparison of the performance of <strong>UBI</strong> Banc Scpa, pro-forma<br />

reclassified financial statements have therefore been prepared as at 31 st December 2007,<br />

which include the figures relating to the former BLP Group for the full year 2007 and they<br />

consequently contain the results for a full 12 month period, rather than nine months from 1 st<br />

April -31 st December 2007.<br />

No pro-forma restatement was made for the figures to 31 st December 2007 with regard to the<br />

contribution by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> of service and support operations to <strong>UBI</strong>.S, which took effect from<br />

1 st October 2007. The items relating to those operations could not be stated proforma, because<br />

they cannot be identified with accuracy. Consequently the figures for the two years are not<br />

perfectly comparable.<br />

The reclassified balance sheets (and also the mandatory statements) as at 31 st December 2007<br />

were affected by a reclassification of repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with an<br />

institutional counterparty from the item “net interbank position” to the item “amounts due<br />

to/from customers”, which affected the related items in the income statements. This<br />

reclassification was necessary in order to align the classification of this counterparty in the<br />

former BL and BPU IT systems.<br />

In compliance with the international accounting standard IFRS 3, in the financial statements<br />

for 2007, the cost of acquisition (at the date of acquisition itself, amounting to 4,1 billion euro)<br />

was recognised in both the reclassified and the mandatory balance sheets by allocating it to<br />

the fair value of the assets (3,5 billion euro to equity investments) and liabilities of the merged<br />

bank, while maintaining the residual components within goodwill (approximately 570 million<br />

euro) 1 .<br />

The reclassified income statements include, in turn, the impact of the purchase price<br />

allocation, which was positive for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> by 3,5 million euro (a little more than 1 million<br />

euro in 2007).<br />

The following rules have been applied to the reclassified statements to allow a vision that is<br />

more consistent with a management accounting style:<br />

- the tax recoveries recognised under item 190 of the mandatory income statement (other operating<br />

income/(expenses) were reclassified as a reduction in indirect taxes included within other administrative expenses;<br />

- the item net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes items 170 and<br />

180 in the mandatory financial statements and the instalments relating to the depreciation of costs incurred for<br />

improvements to third party assets classified under item 190;<br />

- integration costs include leaving incentive plan expenses, the write-off of hardware and software (2007),<br />

consultancy costs and promotional and training expenses (2007), recognised within staff costs, net impairment<br />

losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and other administrative expenses respectively.<br />

The reconciliation of the items in the reclassified financial statements with the figures in the<br />

mandatory financial statements, prepared on the basis of Bank of Italy Circular No. 262 of<br />

1 An analysis of the method adopted and details of the purchase price allocation to the assets and liabilities of the<br />

merged bank is given in the 2007 Annual Report in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Part G – Business<br />

combinations concerning companies or lines of business, which may be consulted.<br />

474 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A


22 nd December 2005, has been facilitated, on the one hand, with the insertion in the margin<br />

against each item of the corresponding number of the item in the mandatory financial<br />

statements with which it is reconciled and, on the other hand, with the preparation of specific<br />

reconciliation schedules.<br />

The comments on the performance of the main balance sheet and income statement items<br />

have been made on the basis of the reclassified financial statements and the pro-forma<br />

reclassified financial statements for the comparison periods.<br />

In order to facilitate analysis of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>’s performance and in compliance with CONSOB<br />

Communication No. DEM/6064293 of 28 th July 2006, a special schedule has been included in<br />

the reclassified financial statements to show the impact on earnings only of the principal nonrecurring<br />

events and items – the relative effects on capital and cash flow not being<br />

significant, because they are closely linked – which are summarised as follows:<br />

full year 2008<br />

- integration costs resulting from the merger between the former BLP and the former BPU;<br />

- gains on the disposals of a portion of the interest in <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica and on the interest held in Key<br />

Client (formerly CIM Italia) and in Centrale Bilanci; losses on the disposal of interests held in <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Sistemi e Servizi and in other Group member companies; impairment of the interest held in <strong>UBI</strong><br />

CentroSystem;<br />

- impairment of some AFS equity investments (Intesa Sanpaolo, London Stock Exchange, A2A);<br />

- index-linked policies purchased by customers with underlying securities issued by Icelandic banks<br />

now in default;<br />

- effects of the Lehman Brothers and Bernard Madoff affairs;<br />

- benefits resulting from tax redemptions on non accounting deductions (Section EC of the income tax<br />

return) and from the tax recognition of goodwill;<br />

full year 2007<br />

- integration costs resulting from the merger transaction (leaving incentives and other expenses<br />

including an estimate of write-offs for software and hardware to be abandoned);<br />

- reform of supplementary pensions;<br />

- impairment of the indirect investment in HRS-Help Rental Service (put into liquidation in July 2007);<br />

an endowment to the Marches Foundation; the non recoverability within the tax consolidation of the<br />

prior year tax losses of the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese Spa relating to the first quarter of<br />

2007;<br />

- gain on Borsa Italiana share exchange;<br />

- benefit resulting from adjustments to deferred taxes to bring them into line with the new tax rates<br />

introduced by the 2008 Finance Act.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> – organisation chart<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa is a co-operative bank listed on the stock exchange, the parent of the banking<br />

group of the same name, with a federal, polyfunctional and integrated organisational model<br />

and market focused product range.<br />

Within this organisation, the federated Network Banks – each focused on their own<br />

geographical areas where they benefit from strong roots in local communities and are<br />

responsible for business with their customers – operate with the assistance and support of<br />

product companies and of a Parent Bank with duties of management, co-ordination and<br />

control.<br />

As the Parent Bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> performs the functions of strategic policy-making (formulating<br />

the business strategy common to the Group as a whole), of supervising business functions (by<br />

supporting and co-ordinating the commercial activities of the network banks and product<br />

companies), monitoring risks and providing centralised services (either directly or through<br />

subsidiaries).<br />

With regard to governance, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> chose to adopt a dualistic system, with full respect for<br />

the prerogatives and specific characteristics of the two corporate bodies which hold distinct<br />

responsibilities for supervision and management.<br />

The role of supervising the functioning of the Internal System of Control in accordance with<br />

article 43 bis of the Corporate By-Laws was assigned to the member of the Management Board<br />

Alfredo Gusmini and the role of “Senior executive officer responsible for preparing the<br />

company accounting documents under Art. 154 bis of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998<br />

(consolidated law on finance) was assigned to Elisabetta Stegher.<br />

Human resources<br />

As at 31 st December 2008 the employees of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> numbered 2.259, a reduction compared<br />

to 2.295 at the end of 2007. The reduction by 36 persons was the result of 158 appointments<br />

(52 relating to intragroup transfers) and 194 staff leaving consisting of 16 under early<br />

retirement schemes, 82 applying to the “Solidarity Fund” and 45 due to intragroup transfers.<br />

In terms of staff actually working for the Parent Bank – the “work force” calculated by<br />

adjusting the numbers of employees to take account of staff on secondment from and to other<br />

Group member companies as well as staff working under agency leasing contracts – there was<br />

an increase of 73 related primarily to the centralisation of operations in accordance with the<br />

Business Plan.<br />

(*) The figures as at 31 st December 2007 were adjusted to take account of Mercati Finanziari Sim staff, merged with effect from 1 st<br />

January 2008.<br />

(*) Staff leasing, regulated by Legislative Decree No, 276 of 10 th September 2003, replaced the temporary agency work contracts<br />

regulated by Law No. 196 of 24 th June 1997.<br />

As can be seen from the table which gives the composition of the workforce, at the end of year<br />

1.122 staff were on secondment to other Group member companies, more than 80% (for a<br />

total of 914) consisting of personnel working at <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi (<strong>UBI</strong>.S). In this respect<br />

trade union agreements relating to the business assets transferred from <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Sistemi e Servizi were concluded and on the basis of these and given the complexity of the<br />

organisational redundancy processes and how quickly the capital contribution was<br />

implemented, non executive personnel will remain as employees of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and at the same<br />

time they have been placed on temporary secondment at <strong>UBI</strong>.S until 31 st December 2010,<br />

while the employment contracts of the staff concerned will in any case be transferred to <strong>UBI</strong>.S<br />

from 1 st January 2011.<br />

As can be seen from the table which gives the composition of personnel by level, there were no<br />

significant changes in the percentage distribution of employees in service at <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

compared to the previous year.<br />

Traditional banking business<br />

Funding<br />

Direct funding from customers, consisting of liability item 20 “due to customers” and liability<br />

item 30 “securities issued”, had almost reached 20 billion euro at the end of the 2008, an<br />

increase of 2,4 billion euro (+13,8%) compared to the previous year.<br />

As can be seen from the table, despite the partial change in the composition of the item with<br />

an increase in funding from customers (which more than doubled over twelve months, from<br />

almost 2,9 billion euro to 5,8 billion euro), securities issued, accounting for 70,8% of the total,<br />

continue to represent the principal source of funding, consistent with the functions of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> as the centralised manager of liquidity for the Group.<br />

Securities issued as at 31 st December 2008 – consisting entirely of bonds – amounted to 14,1<br />

billion euro, a slight decrease (-3,6%) compared to the end of 2007, attributable primarily to<br />

changes in institutional funding from EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) securities, which fell<br />

by 1,1 billion euro (-8,4%) 1 .<br />

1 That part of the total securities issued by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> not attributable to institutional funding (EMTN) and to<br />

intragroup transactions (securities purchased by Group banks) – amounting to 1,6 billion euro (1 billion at the end of<br />

2007) – includes the listed bond “<strong>UBI</strong> Subordinato Lower Tier II a tasso variabile con ammortamento 28.11.2008-2015”<br />

issued in November 2008 to customers of the network banks of the Group for a nominal amount of 599.4 million euro.<br />

486 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


At the end of the year funding on international markets performed within the EMTN<br />

programme amounted to a nominal 12,2 billion euro (2 billion euro in subordinated form),<br />

with a maximum ceiling authorised by the London listing authority on 17 th September 2008 of<br />

15 billion euro 2 .<br />

At total of only two new issues were performed in 2008 between May and June in private form<br />

for a total nominal amount of 260 million euro against redemptions of approximately 1.416<br />

million euro (200 million relating to a subordinated lower tier 3 security).<br />

EMTN securities amounting to 3,6 billion euro mature in 2009 (including 1,35 billion euro<br />

already redeemed at the date of this report) and a further 1,4 billion euro will mature in 2010.<br />

All the EMTN securities are admitted for trading: the new <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> issues and those<br />

originally issued by the former BPU <strong>Banca</strong> on the London stock exchange; those issued by the<br />

former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese on the Luxembourg stock exchange.<br />

The low level of resort to international institutional funding reflects the liquidity crisis which<br />

has affected markets for more than a year now and which has caused a significant broadening<br />

of the spread requested by investors. In this context <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has suspended issues since<br />

the fourth quarter of 2007, despite the existence of securities that are maturing, as it seeks to<br />

diversify its sources of funding.<br />

In this respect authorisation formalities for the programme to issue covered bonds pursuant to<br />

article 7 bis of Law No. 130/1999 were completed by the Parent Bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>. This<br />

programme, which was presented at the beginning of July on a road show in major European<br />

financial centres, is for maximum issues of 10 billion euro. The bonds, which have already<br />

been given a “triple A” preliminary rating by the agencies Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and<br />

Fitch Ratings will be listed on the London Stock Exchange.<br />

No issuances of these instruments have been performed yet as a result of the continuing<br />

difficult conditions on markets. <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> intends to monitor the situation carefully in order<br />

to take advantage of any opportunities for funding that may arise in 2009.<br />

Net of the institutional component consisting of the EMTN issues, the direct funding of the<br />

Parent Bank at the end of year amounted to 7,6 billion euro compared to 4,1 billion in<br />

December 2007 (+87,3%).<br />

Finally with regard to amounts due to customers, the details of the different types of funding<br />

given in the notes to the accounts (Part B, Section 2 of the balance sheet liabilities part, Table<br />

2.1) show that the growth in the total (+3 billion euro over twelve months) is attributable<br />

principally to repurchase agreement transactions with the Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia<br />

(central counterparty clearing), as part of the policy to diversify funding already mentioned.<br />

These transactions totalled 3,4 billion euro, of which 1,9 billion euro (468 million euro in<br />

December 2007) relating to “repurchase agreements against assets transferred not<br />

derecognised” and 1,5 billion euro to “financing in repurchase agreements” for which the<br />

underlying derives from IW Power products sold by IW Bank to its customers (not present at<br />

the end of 2007).<br />

Finally indirect funding from ordinary customers as at 31 st December 2008 amounted to 58<br />

thousand euro, compared to 62 thousand in the previous year, consisting mainly of securities<br />

under custody. Within the item, assets under management fell to 5 thousand euro from 6<br />

thousand euro in December 2007.<br />

2 The programme currently in existence is the result, not only of the new issuances performed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, but also<br />

of bonds originally issued under the programmes of the former BPU <strong>Banca</strong> and of the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e<br />

Piemontese, with maximum limits of 10 billion euro and 6 billion euro respectively. Following the merger of <strong>Banca</strong><br />

Lombarda e Piemontese into BPU <strong>Banca</strong>, the issuing programme of the merged bank was no longer renewed.<br />

General meetings of the bondholders have been convened with regard to five bonds, issued for a total of 3,750<br />

million euro as part of the programme of the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese, and to a private placement for<br />

25 million euro performed in 2000 as part of a programme of the former <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo-CV, in order to<br />

bring the relative sets of regulations into line with those of the other bonds in issue.<br />

Lending<br />

At the end of December Parent Bank lending exceeded 10,4 billion euro, almost unchanged<br />

compared to 10,3 billion euro twelve months previously.<br />

TOTAL 10.446.768 100,0% 10.266.957 100,0% 179.811 1,8%<br />

As shown in table, the composition of the total – attributable mainly to the requirements of the<br />

non banking companies in the Group – changed partially with a fall in the item “other<br />

transactions” (-2,3 billion euro to 6,1 billion euro) and an increase in “mortgage loans and<br />

other medium-to-long term financing” (+3,1 billion euro to 3,7 billion euro) which came to<br />

account for almost 36% of the total.<br />

This change reflects longer funding maturities in the leasing sector, designed to ensure a<br />

closer matching of maturities between assets and liabilities. At the end of 2008 almost all of<br />

the longer term lending (approximately 3,7 billion euro) was to <strong>UBI</strong> Leasing, a company formed<br />

during the year from the merger of BPU Esaleasing into SBS Leasing.<br />

The item “other transactions” – which also continues to represent the main type of lending –<br />

includes lending by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to <strong>UBI</strong> Leasing (3,9 billion euro) and <strong>UBI</strong> Factor (2 billion euro).<br />

Reverse repurchase agreements with counterparties outside the Group were reduced as part of<br />

a policy to optimise liquidity management. Transactions existing at the end of the year<br />

amounted to just 3 million euro, down from 554 million euro at the end of 2007.<br />

The ratio of lending to funding in December had fallen to 52,4% from 58,6% in the previous<br />

year in relation to the different trends that had affected the two aggregates. This ratio also<br />

reflects the particular nature of the banking business performed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> as the Parent<br />

Bank.<br />

Given the prevalent intragroup nature of its lending, net non performing loans, down by 7% to<br />

849 thousand euro, amounted again to a very negligible percentage of the total (0,008%).<br />

As concerns periodic reporting of large risks, at the end of 2008 BPU <strong>Banca</strong> had no positions<br />

exceeding 10% of the supervisory capital, positions with companies forming part of the<br />

banking group being excluded from this reporting.<br />

Finally guarantees granted amounted to more than 1,3 billion euro, a decrease of 8,3%<br />

compared to approximately 1,5 billion euro at the end of 2007. They were composed as<br />

follows:<br />

- financial guarantees of 859 million euro, consisting of 656 million euro on behalf of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Factor, 123,4 million euro on behalf of BPCI Funding Llc and 41,5 million euro on behalf of<br />

UBS leasing;<br />

- commercial guarantees of 481 million euro. These consisted of 132,2 million euro on<br />

behalf of <strong>UBI</strong> Leasing, 120 million euro on behalf of Coralis Rent, 40 million euro on behalf<br />

of Aviva Assicurazioni Vita and 10 million euro on behalf of Aviva Vita, while the remaining<br />

portion was on behalf of ordinary customers.<br />

Operations on the interbank market<br />

The net interbank position at the end 2008 was positive by 566 million euro, compared to a<br />

negative position of 797 million euro twelve months previously.<br />

As already mentioned, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> acts as the centralised manager of Group liquidity and it<br />

therefore performs a high level of intragroup interbank transactions.<br />

of which: intragroup 2.512.109 3.829.910 -1.317.801 -34,4%<br />

If the activity performed as the centralised manager of liquidity is separated from that with<br />

counterparties on the market, the result, as shown in the table is a net intragroup creditor<br />

position of 2,5 billion euro (+3,8 billion euro at the end of 2007), against a net debtor position<br />

with respect to the banking sector of -1,9 billion euro (-4,6 billion euro at the end of 2007),<br />

which becomes -2,5 billion euro net of positions with the central bank (-4,3 at the end of<br />

2007).<br />

Intragroup transactions intensified during the course of the year in order to optimise the use<br />

of all internal financial resources. In detail, a rebalancing of the growth in lending and funding<br />

with customers performed in the fourth quarter at Group level enabled <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to reduce<br />

its resort to funding on the market and to thereby improve its net debt position.<br />

The consolidated management report may be consulted for full information on the action<br />

taken to address difficulties encountered on the interbank liquidity market.<br />

Loans to banks, as at 31 st December, net of the compulsory reserve requirements held with the<br />

central bank, amounted to 28,3 billion euro, an increase of 44,9% (+8,8 billion euro) compared<br />

to the end of 2007. Lower exposures on current account overdrafts (-5,8 billion euro) were<br />

offset by greater lending consisting of term deposits (+2,7 billion euro), “other financing” (+3,4<br />

billion euro) and debt securities issued by the banks in the Group (+8,5 billion euro).<br />

The latter (totalling 13,5 billion euro) were used in part (6,8 billion euro) to support repurchase<br />

agreement business with the customers of the Network Banks.<br />

The growth in “other financing” on the other hand, was primarily attributable to reverse<br />

repurchase agreements used by the banks in the Group to transfer securities eligible for<br />

refinancing to the Parent Bank. A position existed at the end of the year amounting to 2,5<br />

billion euro performed against the securitisation of B@nca 24-7 mortgage loans, together with<br />

another transaction amounting to 1,5 billion euro on securities held by IW Bank customers<br />

(IW Power acounts).<br />

Amounts due to banks, net of the exposure to the central bank (400 million of repurchase<br />

agreements performed using part of the securities resulting from the securitisation of B@nca<br />

24-7 Mortgage loans as the underlying), amounted to 28,3 billion euro, an increase of 42%<br />

(+8,4 billion euro) compared to twelve months previously. The change relates principally to the<br />

489 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


increase in term deposits (+5,8 billion euro) and repurchase agreements (+2,3 billion euro),<br />

consisting largely of positions with Group member companies.<br />

or the net borrower position of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> with regard to the banks in the Group; taking into<br />

account any subscriptions of intragroup securities.<br />

Financial activities<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> did not use the option granted by the recent amendments to IAS 39 and it has<br />

therefore not performed any reclassification of financial assets currently held in portfolio (see the<br />

notes to the financial statements, Part A – Accounting policies).<br />

At the end of 2008 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> held total financial assets amounting to 7,3 billion euro,<br />

compared to 7 billion euro in December 2007 (+3,3%).<br />

As can be seen from the table, the basic stability in the total was nevertheless accompanied by<br />

large changes in the composition of the different types of investment that occurred during the<br />

year, primarily for requirements related to the liquidity management of the Group.<br />

Net of financial liabilities held for trading, consisting essentially of financial derivatives, the<br />

aggregate amounted to 6,1 billion euro compared to 6,2 billion euro at the end of 2007 (-2,4%).<br />

The worsening of the world financial crisis led to the default of major financial institutions in<br />

the second half of the year, which was then added to by situations of fraudulent trading. The<br />

information already reported in the same section of the consolidated management report may<br />

Financial instruments held for trading<br />

Financial assets held for trading (asset item 20)<br />

The item “Financial assets held for trading” includes financial trading instruments “used to<br />

generate a profit from short-term fluctuations in price or from a dealer’s margin”. They are<br />

recognised at fair value through profit or loss – FVPL.<br />

At the end of year financial assets held for trading amounted to 2,4 billion euro, a decrease of<br />

12% compared to 2,8 billion euro in the previous year.<br />

It will be recalled that this accounting class also includes the portfolio entrusted to the<br />

Group’s asset management company under the mandate granted to it for an investment<br />

amounting to 1,6 billion euro for 2008.<br />

On the basis of that mandate, management is performed following a capital protection<br />

strategy, which guarantees a level of capital protection on maturity of 96,84% and involves<br />

investments of approximately 10%-15% of the assets granted for management in asset<br />

instruments (mainly equities), while the remainder is managed by the use of derivative and<br />

monetary instruments. Investments in European equities amounting to approximately 123<br />

million euro existed at the end of the year, in addition to various open positions in futures on<br />

equity indices.<br />

In detail, debt securities – inclusive of “assets transferred not derecognised”, i.e. debt securities<br />

used as the underlying assets for repurchase agreements – amounted to 1.012 million euro,<br />

compared to 1.564 million at the end of 2007.<br />

The decrease is attributable to the sale and/or maturity of securities (only partially<br />

repurchased in the fourth quarter of the year and used mainly to support repurchase<br />

agreement business), which were replaced with new investments classified within availablefor-sale<br />

and held-to-maturity assets.<br />

Debt securities also included direct investments in “Asset Backed Securities” (ABS – financial<br />

instruments issued as part of securitisation transactions) amounting to 69 million euro 1<br />

(120,2 million euro in December 2007), consisting of:<br />

- a Collateral Debt Obligation (“CBO Investment Jersey Ltd 1999-2013”), amounting to 44,3<br />

million euro (partially redeemed compared to 67,4 million euro twelve months previously),<br />

with the underlying consisting of securities issued by supranational institutions (EIB and<br />

World Bank);<br />

- a securitisation of publicly owned assets by the Italian government amounting to 0,4<br />

million euro (from the Mercati Finanziari Sim portfolio, merged into <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> on 4 th March<br />

2008);<br />

- own securitisations amounting to 24,3 million euro (also partially redeemed compared to<br />

the original 52,8 million euro at the end of 2007), relating to Orio Finance (RMBS<br />

securities).<br />

As concerns equity instruments, these rose from 45,6 million euro to 141,8 million euro<br />

primarily as a result of the investments already mentioned in European equities made by the<br />

Group’s asset management company (approximately 123 million euro) under the management<br />

mandate granted to it.<br />

Investments in equity instruments, other than those classified as companies subject to<br />

control, joint control and significant influence, made as part of merchant banking and private<br />

equity activities, amounted to 18,8 million euro, (22 million euro at the end of December<br />

2007).<br />

Investments in O.I.C.R. units (collective investment instruments) include investments in hedge<br />

funds made before 30 th June 2007 and still existing, amounting to 48,3 million euro, a<br />

reduction compared to 562,8 million euro in the previous year (-91,4%).<br />

1 If the 179,8 million euro included in the AFS portfolio (59,7 million euro in December 2007) is also considered, total<br />

investments in ABS Securities by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> amounted to 248,8 million euro (179,9 million euro at the end of<br />

2007).<br />

492 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The disinvestments made during the year were offset by purchases designated at fair value<br />

(asset item 30 on the balance sheet). The following section, “financial assets at fair value”, may<br />

therefore be consulted for a full picture of investments in these financial instruments.<br />

Financial assets held for trading include impaired assets amounting to 0,3 million euro,<br />

relating to the presumed realisable value of a bond issued by Lehman Brothers (further<br />

information is given in the subsequent section “exposures to some counterparties”).<br />

Assets held for trading also include assets in respect of derivative instruments, almost entirely<br />

of a financial nature, for which changes must be interpreted in strict relation to the<br />

corresponding item recognised within financial liabilities held for trading. These derivatives,<br />

consisting mainly of contracts on interest rates, increased over twelve months from 581<br />

million euro to 1.222 million euro as a result of both an increase in the fair value and<br />

increased trading in them, which included intragroup trading.<br />

Financial liabilities held for trading (liability item 40)<br />

Financial liabilities amounted to 1.222 million euro, compared to 842 million in December<br />

2007 (+45,1%). They consisted almost entirely of financial derivatives (1.215 million euro) and<br />

had more than doubled compared to twelve months previously. As already reported for<br />

financial assets held for trading, the increase in those derivatives, consisting almost entirely<br />

of contracts on interest rates, relates to both the changes in fair value and to the greater<br />

volumes of business, which included transactions with Group member companies.<br />

Amounts due to customers, amounting to just 5 million euro compared to 243 million euro<br />

twelve months previously, relate to uncovered short positions, for which commitments to<br />

purchase are recognised here. The large reduction is due to the limitations imposed by the<br />

Consob (Italian securities market authority) on uncovered sales.<br />

Financial assets at fair value (asset item 30)<br />

The item “financial assets at fair value” includes financial instruments classified as such in<br />

application of the fair value option (FVO).<br />

As at 31 st December 2008 these items consisted exclusively of units in hedge funds purchased<br />

since 1 st July 2007. It also included investments in capitalisation policies as at 31 st December<br />

2007.<br />

These financial assets are recognised at fair value through profit or loss.<br />

TOTAL 460.157 - 460.157 157.906 823.242 981.148 -520.991 -53,1%<br />

Financial assets at fair value amounted to 460 million euro compared to 981 million euro at<br />

the end of 2007. The decrease that occurred during the year (-521 million euro) was the result<br />

of opposing trends related on the one hand to the reimbursement of capitalisation policies and<br />

on the other hand to the change in the composition of investments in hedge funds already<br />

mentioned.<br />

Units in O.I.C.R. (collective investment instruments), which now constitute the whole of this<br />

item, increased to 460,2 million euro from 158 million euro in the previous year.<br />

It should be considered that hedge funds are not only classified within assets designated at<br />

fair value, but also within assets held for trading in the amount of 48,3 million euro as<br />

reported in the preceding section.<br />

Total investments in hedge funds as at 31 st December 2008 therefore amounted to 508,5<br />

million euro, a decrease of 29,4% compared to 720,7 million euro in 2007, attributable<br />

primarily to the negative change in fair value recorded over twelve months.<br />

The investment in hedge funds was affected principally by the turbulence on financial markets<br />

in 2008, but also by the effects of the Madoff case which resulted in the complete write-down<br />

in the accounts of four funds held in portfolio (58,2 milioni di euro).<br />

The guidelines given by internal policy nevertheless helped to guarantee diversification on<br />

several levels: in terms of the strategy for investment in a single fund as well as in a single<br />

asset management company (see the notes to the financial statements, Part E, market risk in<br />

this respect).<br />

Furthermore, as a consequence of the intensification of difficulties on financial markets, action<br />

was commenced during the year to progressively reduce the hedge fund portfolio in order to<br />

contain risk (VaR).<br />

Redemption requests as at 31 st December 2008 involved 47 funds for approximately 320<br />

million euro. However, 7 funds, for an investment of 15,5 million euro, had temporarily<br />

suspended redemptions, while another 18 funds, amounting to 118 million euro, declared that<br />

they were implementing a deferred repayment plan (known as a “gate”) as permitted by their<br />

respective regulations.<br />

At the date of this report hedge funds amounting to 165 million euro (net of portfolio writedowns<br />

and redemption fees) had actually been redeemed.<br />

Requests for redemption for a total of 230 million euro currently exist (83 million euro made<br />

since 1 st January 2009) relating to 43 hedge funds including 10 funds amounting to 17 million<br />

euro, which have temporarily suspended redemptions and 18 funds, for an amount of 116<br />

million euro, which have applied a “gate” on the redemption programme.<br />

Debt securities held at the end of December 2007 amounting to 823 million euro related to<br />

residual investments in capitalisation certificates which were eliminated during 2008 (early<br />

reimbursement on 23 policies and while another two reached maturity). It will be recalled that<br />

gradual disinvestment from these policies had begun in the last quarter of 2006 because as a<br />

result of the changed market conditions they were no longer able to generate an adequate<br />

return on the portfolio in terms of extra yield. The reimbursements increased in the second<br />

half of 2007 in relation to the emergence of difficulties on the interbank liquidity market.<br />

The amounts freed up in 2008 were largely directed towards the purchase of securities eligible<br />

for refinancing with the European Central Bank.<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets (asset item 40)<br />

These assets are measured at fair value with the recognition of changes in a separate valuation<br />

reserve in shareholders’ equity, except for losses due to reductions in value that are considered<br />

significant or prolonged. In this case the reduction in value that occurred during the year is<br />

increased or decreased by the negative or positive reserve that may have been recognised in<br />

equity previously.<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets as at 31 st December 2008 totalled 2.768 million euro<br />

compared to 2.061 million euro at the end of 2007 (+34,3%).<br />

The growth in the item is attributable to greater investments in debt securities, which more<br />

than doubled over twelve months (from 1.043 million euro to 2.219 million euro).<br />

These investments form part of general liquidity management at Group level, which led at the<br />

same time to the disinvestment in debt securities classified within assets held for trading and<br />

assets designated at fair value (capitalisation policies).<br />

The increase in debt securities was also the result of greater direct investments in “Asset<br />

Backed Securities” (ABS – financial instruments issued against securitisations), which tripled<br />

to 179,8 million euro. These included 130,3 million euro relating to INPS (national insurance<br />

institute) securitisations (59,7 million euro in December 2007), 46,1 million euro relating to<br />

securitisations by a major Italian bank (new investment in 2008) and 3,4 million euro to an<br />

own securitisation in relation to Lombarda Lease Finance 4, class C, mezzanine securities<br />

(new investment).<br />

At the end of the year total ABS investments, inclusive of the 69 million euro recognised in the<br />

trading portfolio, amounted to 248,8 million euro compared to 179,9 million euro in December<br />

2007. The section “financial activities” in the consolidated management report may be<br />

consulted for further information on exposures in ABS instruments and special purpose<br />

entities (SPEs).<br />

Equity instruments amounted to 462,2 million euro, compared to 922,7 million euro in<br />

December 2007. The change recorded in this item is attributable primarily to the reduction in<br />

the fair value of the listed equity instruments recognised within it (shareholdings that are not<br />

classified as companies subject to control, joint control and significant influence and that are<br />

not held for merchant banking and private equity activities), caused by the unfavourable<br />

performance of financial markets and the exceptional circumstances affecting them globally.<br />

Some available-for-sale financial assets have been subject to impairment in relation to the<br />

continuing weakness of markets. These include the investments in Intesa Sanpaolo 2 , the fair<br />

value of which fell to 353,1 million euro from 756,5 million euro as at 31 st December 2007, in<br />

the London Stock Exchange (formerly Borsa Italiana), valued at 8,5 million euro, down from<br />

2 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> holds 1,18% of the share capital with voting rights.<br />

42,9 million at the end of 2007 and in A2A, down to 14,2 million euro from 34,7 million twelve<br />

months previously (see the notes to the financial statements, Part B, Assets, Section 4).<br />

Finally the disposal of the interest held in Centrale dei Bilanci, recognised within assets at the<br />

end of 2007, amounting to 1,9 million euro, resulted in a gain of 8,1 million euro.<br />

The investment in O.I.C.R. units (collective investment instruments) amounting to 86,2 million<br />

euro, decreased by 9 million euro compared to the previous year. The item also includes<br />

property funds totalling 22,8 million euro (approximately 34 million euro at the end of 2007),<br />

including 14,2 million euro in respect of the Fondo Polis (24,5 million euro in December 2007)<br />

recognised within listed funds.<br />

The change recognised at the end of the year in shareholders’ equity attributable to gains and<br />

losses on securities not subject to impairment was negative by 16,9 million euro.<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets (asset item 50)<br />

This class of assets (held-to-maturity) includes securities which it is intended and it is possible to<br />

hold until maturity. They are recognised at amortised cost.<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets, which consist principally of Italian government securities,<br />

amounted to 1.621 million euro, an increase of 30% on an annual basis as a consequence of<br />

new investments used mainly to support repurchase agreement transactions.<br />

These also include issues by major banks for a nominal amount of 350 million euro (358<br />

million euro the book value), with “Constant Maturity Swap” (CMS) indexing with variable<br />

annual coupons indexed to the 10 year swap rate.<br />

The market value of the securities classified within this item as at 31 st December 2008<br />

recorded a loss – not recognised – amounting to 77,1 million euro (see the relative table in the<br />

Exposures to some counterparties<br />

A report is given below on exposures of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to major international counterparties who<br />

have suffered financial collapse or are responsible for fraudulent operations, which have had<br />

significant impacts on the Italian financial market.<br />

496 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Lehman Brothers<br />

On 15 th September 2008 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy with<br />

the US Bankruptcy Court in order to “reorganise” its operations 3 .<br />

The exposure of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to this company in default and to other companies controlled by it<br />

regarded bonds for a nominal amount of 4 million euro and derivative instruments.<br />

The bonds were classified in the accounts as at 31 st December 2008 within impaired assets in<br />

the trading portfolio and recognised on the basis of the presumed realisable value, equal to<br />

8,625% 4 of the nominal value amounting to 0,345 million euro. The consequent write-down<br />

performed – 3,5 million euro – was recognised within item 80 of the income statement. Income<br />

relating to those financial instruments has no longer been recognised since 15 th September<br />

2008.<br />

As concerns operations in OTC derivatives, following the announcement of the default, <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> suspended payments from 15 th September, to all the companies in the Lehman Group<br />

with which ISDA contracts had been taken out. It was then decided to proceed to the early<br />

termination of all the contracts, as permitted by the terms of the existing ISDA contracts,<br />

freezing the relative mark-to-market values and restoring hedges which had lapsed with the<br />

same number of contracts entered into on the market.<br />

On 12 th November 2008, a statement was prepared with regard to Lehman Brothers<br />

International (Europe) reporting a credit position of 664.237,15 dollars (relating to currencies<br />

and currency derivatives). This cannot be offset against the debt position with Lehman<br />

Brothers Special Financing Inc. (described later in this sub-section) and therefore these<br />

receivables, considered net of the end of year currency translation effect, were valued as<br />

recoverable on the basis of the same rate of 8,625% applied to the securities held in portfolio.<br />

The consequent write-down, amounting to 438 thousand euro, was recognised within item<br />

130a of the income statement and the remaining receivables, amounting to 41.391 euro, were<br />

stated within loans to customers, under the item non performing loans.<br />

On 14 th November 2008 a <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> statement was prepared in relation to Lehman Brothers<br />

Special Financing Inc. reporting a debt position amounting to 2.366.669,18 dollars (relating to<br />

interest rate derivatives) recognised within amounts due to customers-other.<br />

A cross currency swap contract entered into with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc., 5<br />

which expired on 17 th October 2008 and involved a payment by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to LBSF of 52<br />

million dollars and a payment by LBSF to <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> of 5.877.180.000 Japanese yen was not<br />

included in the statements just mentioned. An amount of 4,4 million euro was due from LBSF<br />

on the expiration date based on exchange rates at the end of 2008, equal to the balance on the<br />

amounts receivable and payable, fully written down and recognised within item 130a of the<br />

income statement.<br />

While the amount receivable was not included in the statements made, the Bank intends to<br />

file a claim at the United States bankruptcy proceedings as soon as the dates and procedures<br />

in that respect are announced.<br />

3 As concerns other companies in the Lehman Group, on 15 th September 2008 Lehman Brothers International (Europe) was placed<br />

into administration proceedings by order of the UK High Court of Justice, while Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. filed for<br />

chapter 11 bankruptcy on 3 rd October 2008.<br />

4 This is the recovery rate calculated on the basis of the auction price of CDSs on Lehman loans set on 10 th October 2008 in New York.<br />

5 The reasons are because the transaction was performed by means of swift messages. In accordance with section 9(e) of the ISDA<br />

master agreement entered into by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and Lehman Brothers Special Financing on 28 th February 2000, an exchange of<br />

electronic messages may only constitute an official confirmation (and therefore take effect according to the rules of the master<br />

agreement) if this is specified in the messages themselves. This was not performed in the swift messages in question.<br />

Furthermore the schedule of the master agreement does not include the "1992 User's Guide language on electronic messaging"<br />

which could have had the effect of conferring the validity of a confirmation on the exchange of swift messages, even in the absence of<br />

an explicit specification.<br />

497 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Default of Icelandic Banks<br />

Following the affairs which threw world financial markets into turmoil in September 2008, the<br />

Icelandic government was obliged to nationalise all the banks in the country since they were<br />

unable to honour their obligations.<br />

As already anticipated in the interim financial report to 30 th September 2008, three index<br />

linked policies (ZOOM TEAM 25, ZOOM BRIC 40 “5+5” and BRIC 40 “5+5”) were sold to <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Group customers through Aviva Assicurazioni Vita (formerly <strong>UBI</strong> Assicurazioni Vita and<br />

controlled by Aviva Italia Holding Spa since 18 th June 2008) and Aviva Vita, for which the<br />

performance (minimum return and repayment of capital on maturity) is linked to underlying<br />

securities issued and guaranteed by two of the three principal Icelandic banks. At the time<br />

when the contracts were entered into, these had ratings higher than those required by the<br />

ISVAP (insurance authority) regulations in force. The banks were Glitnir Bank (formerly<br />

Islandsbanki Hf) with a Fitch rating of A and a Moody’s rating of A1 and Kaupthing Bank Hf<br />

with a Fitch rating of A and a Moody’s rating of Aa3.<br />

Following the defaults, the total capital invested by our customers in those policies, amounting<br />

to 73 million euro, has fallen to close to zero.<br />

In consideration of the exceptional and non recurring nature of the event – which involved not<br />

only individual financial operators but the whole financial system of a developed country<br />

which enjoyed high ratings before the crisis – Aviva Vita and <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> have studied the<br />

impact of the events just described, in order to assess the possible repercussions and to adopt<br />

a position to properly protect the 4.420 customers who held policies, with the objective of<br />

safeguarding the value of the investment as much as possible in the medium-to-long term<br />

once the current acute crisis is over.<br />

The negotiations conducted led the Bank to hypothesise the following action:<br />

- deferred recovery of the entire capital invested by customers;<br />

- bearing the cost in respect of the present value of the investment, estimated at present, at<br />

40 million euro net of possible recoveries, relating almost totally to the product companies<br />

of the Group.<br />

The provision made in the financial statements of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> amounted to 1,5 million euro (an<br />

addition to provisions for liabilities and charges).<br />

The Bernard Madoff affair<br />

The fraud committed by Bernard Madoff and the company that bears his name came to light<br />

in December when it was given broad coverage in all the international press.<br />

The exposure of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> to “Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC” concerned the<br />

hedge fund portfolio only and totalled 59,5 million euro, as follows:<br />

40,7 million euro consisting of three funds for which Madoff’s company performed the role<br />

of both “investment advisor” and “execution broker”:<br />

- an investment in Kingate Euro Fund of 22,8 million euro, held since November 2004;<br />

- an investment in Kingate Global Fund of 11,2 million euro, held in portfolio since August<br />

2002;<br />

- an investment in Fairfield Sigma Ltd of 6,7 million euro, held since September 2003;<br />

17,5 million euro in a European registered fund Thema International Euro Class, listed on<br />

the Irish stock market and held in portfolio since May 2004. The role of “custodian” of the<br />

fund, performed by HSBC Institutional Trust Services Ltd (Ireland), had been delegated to<br />

Madoff’s company, a possibility provided for in the custody contract.<br />

The four funds just mentioned formed part of budgeted hedge fund portfolio investments to be<br />

maintained in 2009, particularly in consideration of their positive track record certified by<br />

498 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


PricewaterhouseCoopers. In view of the events that occurred, requests to redeem the<br />

investments were sent in after 15 th December 2008.<br />

1,3 million euro of investments in hedge funds (indirect exposures).<br />

However, no on- or off-balance sheet exposures to Bernard Madoff and/or his company exist.<br />

Before the fraudulent management came to light, the hedge funds just mentioned held in<br />

portfolio by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> – mainly classified as held for trading – had recorded increases in fair<br />

value of 4 million euro, to give a total stated value of 58,2 million euro.<br />

That amount had been written down to zero as at 31 st December 2008 in consideration of the<br />

great uncertainty over the possibility of recovering it.<br />

As concerns the Thema International fund, there may be a possibility of recovery from HSBC<br />

as the “custodian” under the terms of the contract.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is following the preparation of the cases against Madoff and the other parties<br />

involved in the affair (fund managers, depositary banks, auditors and supervisory authorities)<br />

directly, assisted by an international law firm in order to protect the best interests of the<br />

Bank.<br />

The income statement<br />

The comments on the income statement relate to the pro-forma reclassified financial statements – the<br />

income statement, the quarterly income statements and the income statement net of the main non-recurring<br />

items – contained in the relative section of this report in which the figures for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa to 31 st<br />

December 2008 have been compared with the pro-forma figures to 31 st December 2007. In order to provide<br />

consistent and uniform information, the tables furnishing details have been reclassified and restated proforma<br />

in the same manner for 2007. The explanatory notes that precede the reclassified financial<br />

statements may be consulted as may the reconciliation schedules for a description of the reclassification<br />

and also for details of the restatement of the comparative pro-forma figures and of the PPA allocation.<br />

It will also be recalled that on 1 st October 2007, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> contributed its “ICT and organisation”<br />

operations to <strong>UBI</strong>.S, the subsidiary responsible for the centralised provision of services, functions and<br />

processing common to all Group banks and companies and this modified the composition of the income of<br />

the Parent Bank compared to the subsequent comparative periods.<br />

The first full year of operations of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa took place in an operating context which<br />

began to progressively deteriorate in the summer. The scenario that then unfolded was<br />

constantly exposed to violent tensions and was only initially limited to financial markets, the<br />

instruments traded on them and operators in the sector.<br />

This had its effect on the income structure of the Bank, affecting all items connected with<br />

financial activities which, as a result, amongst other things, of the accounting rule for<br />

recognising reductions in fair value, generated 488 million euro of write-downs on equities<br />

classified as available-for-sale. Despite this, 2008 ended with a net profit of 23,9 million euro,<br />

an appreciable reduction compared to 820,4 million euro in 2007.<br />

If non-recurring items are excluded – negative on aggregate by 417,7 million euro in 2008 and<br />

positive by approximately 81 million euro in 2007 – net profit rises to 441,6 million euro<br />

compared to 739,4 million euro in the previous year.<br />

Examination of the reclassified income statement shows that operating income amounted to<br />

640,1 million euro, compared to 1.165,2 million euro in the previous year, reflecting the<br />

negative result for financial activities, the lower dividends received and also the greater<br />

negative balance on net interest income.<br />

The income statement continues to be supported by the contribution from the item dividends<br />

and similar income, amounting to 904,4 million euro, because of the particular structure that<br />

distinguishes the Parent Bank. As shown in the<br />

table, the partial decrease that occurred with<br />

respect to the amount of 972,3 million euro<br />

recorded in 2007 occurred in relation to the<br />

equity investments in Group member<br />

companies, which distributed approximately 68<br />

million euro less in profits. This result relates<br />

on the one hand to the results in 2007 of some<br />

banks and Group member companies, affected<br />

either by non-recurring costs or by a decrease<br />

in recurring and non-recurring income and on<br />

the other hand to the distribution policies of<br />

BPB, Banco di Brescia and BPCI which<br />

preferred to allocate the gains made on the<br />

disposal of branches, required by the Antitrust<br />

Authority, to reserves of profits.<br />

Net interest income amounted to -250,8 million<br />

euro, compared to -195,8 million euro in 2007.<br />

played by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> as the holding company 1 , increased both as a result of both the rise<br />

(although temporary) in interbank rates 2 and the greater volumes of business which<br />

characterised interest income and expense business. In detail 3 :<br />

- the item business with customers (which recorded a negative balance of 441 million<br />

euro, up by 20 million euro) was affected by the increased costs of securities issued (+45<br />

million euro), and more specifically the cost of the securities issued in the EMTN<br />

programme where the indexing is linked to short term rates (the most exposed to the large<br />

fluctuations recorded in the last quarter of the year). Similarly the amounts due to<br />

customers component also recorded an increase in interest paid (+40,3 million euro),<br />

resulting from greater volumes of business during the year with the Cassa di<br />

Compensazione e Garanzia (central counterparty clearing) consisting primarily of<br />

repurchase agreements. It must nevertheless be considered that the interest generated by<br />

financing to customers (the leasing and factoring companies of the Group) increased by<br />

83,2 million euro compared to 2007;<br />

- business on the interbank market gradually turned to focus on transactions with the<br />

banks in the Group in order to support their lending business with customers and also to<br />

rationalise funding, in a context of developing a structural balance between the income and<br />

expenses of each bank. The intensive use of internal financial resources (also to partially<br />

offset difficulties encountered in market transactions), which involved less resort to<br />

interbank borrowing above all in the fourth quarter of the year, resulted in the generation of<br />

a positive net balance on interest from banks amounting to 3,6 million euro compared to<br />

the negative balance of 11,6 million euro in the previous year;<br />

designated at fair value, for which the interest decreased by 58,4 million euro.<br />

Net commissions amounted to 13,2 million euro, compared to 19,2 million euro previously.<br />

While commission expense remained stable, there was a fall in commission income, mainly in<br />

relation to collection and payment services (-3,5 million euro) and to management, trading and<br />

advisory services (-3,8 million euro) and to the items stock market orders and depository bank<br />

services in particular.<br />

It must also be stated that the Parent Bank – which performs specific operational support<br />

functions for the Network Banks, for which it incurs commission expense that is then invoiced<br />

on the basis of intragroup contracts recognised within other operating income – would<br />

structurally record negative income from services in any event, an effect which has been<br />

reduced since 2007 following the centralisation of depository bank activities at <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>.<br />

Net profit from trading, hedging, disposal/repurchase and assets/liabilities at fair value reflects<br />

the strong reductions in prices that occurred on financial markets and it was negative by<br />

192,8 million euro compared to +64 million euro generated over the previous twelve months.<br />

As already reported in periodic interim financial reporting, historically untypical volatility in<br />

securities prices first appeared in the summer which then transformed into falls in prices,<br />

especially following the Lehman Brothers affair, which hit share prices and OICR units<br />

(collective investment instruments) indiscriminately wherever they were listed and whichever<br />

sector they represented.<br />

The negative result for the year also included the following losses classified within nonrecurring<br />

items: 58,2 million euro relating to four “Madoff funds” held in portfolio, for which<br />

the amount was entirely written off in view of the extreme uncertainty over the possibility of<br />

recovering it and 3,5 million euro in respect of the write-down of Lehman securities (see also<br />

the section “Financial activities” in the consolidated management report).<br />

In detail, net profit from trading amounted to -83,3 million euro (+36,8 million in 2007),<br />

consisting of -33,7 million euro on equity instruments (-14,4 million euro) and -86,6 million<br />

euro on investments in hedge funds (+31,2 million euro), only partially offset by the positive<br />

performance amounting to 31,2 million euro (+20 million euro) by trading in debt securities<br />

and the relative derivative instruments.<br />

502 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The result for assets and liabilities designated at fair value – relating to investments in hedge<br />

funds made since 1 st July 2007 – also made a large negative contribution as a consequence of<br />

the penalisation of all items (-118 million euro compared to +1,6 million euro in 2007).<br />

total amount of the hedging<br />

derivatives used (mainly interest rate<br />

derivatives) and to the respective<br />

items hedged. The context of high<br />

volatility for short term interest rates<br />

(as occurred in the fourth quarter of<br />

2008) did in fact penalise the<br />

valuation of the floating rate<br />

component of the derivatives.<br />

On the other hand profit on the<br />

disposal/repurchase of financial<br />

assets amounted to 15,8 million euro,<br />

attributable primarily to the disposal<br />

of two equity investments: Key Client<br />

(formerly Cim Italia) amounting to 7,1<br />

million euro and Centrale Bilanci amounting to 8,1 million euro (both items have been<br />

classified as non-recurring).<br />

The item totalled 24,1 million euro in 2007; that amount included 20,2 million euro for a nonrecurring<br />

gain on the Borsa Italiana (now London Stock Exchange) share exchange.<br />

Other operating income and expenses amounted to 166,2 million euro, compared to 305,5<br />

million euro in the previous year. This mainly reflects the decrease in income from services to<br />

Group member companies (145,2 million euro compared to 289,4 million euro) following the<br />

operational centralisation of activities at the subsidiary <strong>UBI</strong>.S, which took effect from 1 st<br />

October 2007. The latter amount consists of income amounting to 89,3 million euro in respect<br />

of administration, lending, governance, commercial and financial services provided by the<br />

Parent Bank and income amounting to 55,9 million euro for organisation and IT services<br />

relating to the platform abandoned at the end of the year.<br />

The amount for 2007 includes a non-recurring expense of 6,6 million euro, which represented<br />

the present value of the total endowment to be paid to the Marches Foundation on the basis of<br />

agreements related to the settlement of the <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Ancona litigation.<br />

There was an appreciable reduction(-22,9%) in operating costs (376,8 million euro) across all<br />

expense items, which do not include integration costs classified within a separate item, partly<br />

the consequence of the centralisation of operations<br />

in <strong>UBI</strong>.S already mentioned. In detail:<br />

- staff costs fell by 30,5% to 158,8 million euro<br />

from 228,6 million euro in 2007 which<br />

benefited, amongst other things, from the<br />

positive impact of the pension reform affecting<br />

the staff severance provision (5,5 million euro).<br />

The reduction of 69,8 million euro consisted of<br />

the following: 63,6 million euro attributable to<br />

lower costs for employees (mainly the wages and<br />

salaries component); 4,7 million euro<br />

attributable to other personnel (personnel<br />

working under agency staff leasing contracts<br />

were employed during the year as part of<br />

integration activities and the relative cost was<br />

therefore classified within integration expenses);<br />

the Group for the whole of 2008 and<br />

the former platform was not<br />

“switched off” until 31 st December<br />

2008.<br />

- net impairment losses on property,<br />

plant and equipment and intangible assets fell to 61,6 million euro (68,8 million euro), due<br />

to the transfer of some parts of the former IT system to <strong>UBI</strong>.S.<br />

As a result of the performance reported above net operating income – calculated as the<br />

difference between operating income and operating costs – amounted to 263,3 million euro<br />

(676,1 million euro in the comparative year).<br />

Net impairment losses on loans amounted to 4,4 million euro (1,2 million euro in 2007) and<br />

include 4,8 million euro in relation to the write-down of amounts due from Lehman Brothers.<br />

In detail, 0,4 million euro relate to an amount due from Lehman Brothers International<br />

(Europe) in respect of foreign currency transactions and currency derivatives and 4,4 million<br />

euro in respect of a cross currency swap entered into with Lehman Brothers Special<br />

Financing, not included in the financial statements (see the section “Financial activities” in the<br />

consolidated management report for further details).<br />

Net provisions for liabilities and charges were reduced from 3,7 million euro to 1,7 million euro<br />

and included a provision of 1,5 million euro, as the share pertaining to the Parent Bank,<br />

against the default of Icelandic bank issuers and guarantors of the securities underlying the<br />

three index linked policies sold to Group customers through Aviva Vita and Aviva<br />

Assicurazioni Vita (see the previous section “Financial activities” in this respect).<br />

505 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


In view of the sharp falls in share prices which occurred during the year and worsened in the<br />

fourth quarter, mainly affecting stocks in the banking sector, in compliance with IAS 39, <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> recognised the reductions considered significant and prolonged in the value of shares<br />

classified as available-for-sale in the income statement. This resulted in net impairment losses<br />

on other assets/liabilities totalling 496 million euro, including approximately 443,9 million<br />

euro in respect of an interest held in Intesa Sanpaolo, 24,6 million euro for the interest in the<br />

London Stock Exchange (formerly Borsa Italiana) and 19,7 million euro for the company A2A.<br />

All three amounts were classified within non-recurring items (see also the notes to the<br />

financial statements, Part B, Section 4).<br />

In 2007 these impairment charges amounted to 5,9 million euro and included an<br />

extraordinary write-down amounting to 5,6 million euro on the indirect interest held in Help<br />

Rental Service placed in liquidation in July 2007.<br />

The income statement benefited from net profits on the disposal of equity investments<br />

amounting to 17,5 million euro. They consisted of 22 million euro on the sale of shares in <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Pramerica SGR to our American partner; 2,4 million euro on the disposal of the interest in<br />

CFE (Corporation Financière Européenne 4 ); a loss of -3,5 million euro on the disposal of<br />

shares in <strong>UBI</strong>.S to Group member companies, performed on the basis of the book value of the<br />

company as at 31 st December 2007; -3,6 million euro for impairment of the subsidiary <strong>UBI</strong><br />

CentroSystem.<br />

As a result of the impairment losses reported above, profit on continuing operations before tax<br />

recorded a loss of 221,4 million euro, compared to a profit of 665,2 million euro in the<br />

preceding twelve months.<br />

If non-recurring items are excluded from both years, profit before tax amounted to 304,6<br />

million euro compared to 651,7 million euro in 2007.<br />

Taxes on income for the year – positive as a result of the application of the tax consolidation<br />

law, which allows structurally negative taxable income to be compensated due to the presence<br />

of dividends taxed at reduced rates at a percentage of 95% – amounted to 271,4 million euro<br />

(222 million euro in 2007).<br />

It must nevertheless be considered that the figure for 2008 includes the following:<br />

- a positive non-recurring component of 95,3 million euro, consisting of:<br />

• 2,4 million euro as the positive effect, in respect of provisions already made for<br />

deferred tax liabilities, of the tax redemption on non accounting deductions (Section EC<br />

of the income tax return) in relation to depreciation, impairment and provisions,<br />

pursuant to Art.1, paragraph 33, of Law No, 244/2007; 5<br />

• 92,9 million euro from the tax recognition (through the payment of a 16% substitute<br />

tax to be paid in 2009) of the value attributed to the goodwill recognised in the financial<br />

statements of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> when the purchase price allocation was performed following<br />

the merger of the former BLP into the former BPU. This goodwill, as exempted, is tax<br />

deductible over nine years from the year in which the substitute tax is paid, in<br />

accordance with Art.15, paragraph 10, of Decree Law No. 185/2008 (see the notes to the<br />

financial statements, Part A, for further information);<br />

- negative amount of 47,4 million euro related to the impairment of available-for-sale<br />

equity investments, to Madoff and Lehman Brothers positions and the default of Icelandic<br />

banks;<br />

- increased taxes amounting to 8,2 million euro resulting from gains on the disposal of<br />

equity investments.<br />

The 2007 figure includes positive non recurring items amounting to 142,3 million euro<br />

resulting from adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities to comply with the new tax<br />

rates introduced by the 2008 Finance Act (144,7 million euro relating to the PPA).<br />

4 The amount was not included within non-recurring items because it was below the minimum threshold set by<br />

internal procedures for identifying these items.<br />

5 The amount results from the difference between the substitute tax rate (16%) and the ordinary rate [IRES -<br />

corporation tax (27,5%) + IRAP - local production tax (4,82%) = 32,32%].<br />

506 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


If non-recurring items are excluded, positive taxation for 2008 amounted to 137 million euro,<br />

compared to 87,8 million euro twelve months previously, as a result of changes in taxable<br />

income.<br />

Finally, integration costs recognised in 2008 amounted to 26,1 million euro (net of tax<br />

amounting to 9,9 million euro), including 15,3 million euro (gross) relating to personnel and<br />

20,7 million euro (gross) relating to impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and<br />

intangible assets and other administrative expenses (10,6 million relating to instalments paid<br />

to <strong>UBI</strong>.S for IT migration operations and 7,6 million euro for advisory and other services); in<br />

the comparative year the item was 66,7 million euro net of tax amounting to 36,9 million euro.<br />

***<br />

The fourth quarter of 2008 incorporated all the negative events which affected the<br />

performance of financial items in the last part of the year. The period ended for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

with a loss of 581,4 million euro compared with a negative result of 103,2 million euro in the<br />

third quarter (when the first signs of turbulence, which were clamorously evident after 15 th<br />

September with the Lehman Brothers event, had already appeared) and with a profit of 73,8<br />

million euro earned in the fourth quarter of 2007.<br />

It should be considered that since the transfer of operations to <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi took effect<br />

from 1 st October 2007, the fourth quarter of 2007 is fully comparable on a perfectly uniform basis<br />

with the fourth quarter of 2008.<br />

In detail, operating income amounted to -172,9 million euro in the period October-December<br />

2008 (+24,5 million euro in the same quarter of 2007), penalised by the negative result for<br />

financial activities (-135,9 million euro compared to +26,3 million euro in 2007), by the<br />

increased magnitude of net interest income (-64,8 million euro compared to -56,6 million euro)<br />

and by the decrease in other net operating income (22,9 million euro compared to 48,3 million<br />

euro), due to the completion of the IT migration of the Network banks to the target system.<br />

On the other hand operating costs, which totalled 97,2 million euro, improved by more than 9<br />

million euro compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, as a result of synergies created by the<br />

merger and of the constant monitoring activity which resulted from it.<br />

More specifically, other administrative expenses, amounting to 41,3 million euro, were reduced<br />

even more by over 14 million euro.<br />

As a result of the performance described above net operating income amounted to -270,2<br />

million euro (-82,1 million euro in 2007).<br />

The last three months of the year were also affected by net impairment losses on other<br />

assets/liabilities in respect of available-for-sale equity investments (Intesa Sanpaolo, London<br />

Stock Exchange and A2A) amounting to 488,1 million euro 6 , by impairment losses on amounts<br />

due in relation to the Lehman Brothers position amounting to 4,8 million euro and to a<br />

provision for liabilities and charges amounting to 1,5 million euro in relation to the default of<br />

Icelandic banks, the guarantors of index linked insurance policies purchased by Group<br />

customers (see the information already reported in the commentary on the full year).<br />

As a result of the above profit on continuing operations before tax recorded a loss for the period<br />

of 773,1 million euro (-84,5 million euro in the fourth quarter of 2007), which benefited from<br />

positive taxation of 199,7 million euro, partly the result of the recognition of goodwill for tax<br />

purposes, against payment of substitute tax.<br />

6 The loss of value recorded as at 30 th September 2008 since the beginning of the year on those same AFS equity<br />

investments was approximately 250 million euro and it was recognised in a separate valuation reserve in<br />

shareholders’ equity.<br />

507 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Shareholders’ equity and capital adequacy<br />

The shareholders’ equity of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> as at 31 st December 2008, inclusive of profit for the<br />

year, amounted to 10.358,7 million euro compared to 10.962,1 million euro at the end of<br />

2007.<br />

As can be seen from the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, contained among the<br />

separate financial statements, the decrease of 603,4 million euro that occurred over twelve<br />

months is attributable to:<br />

• the allocation of 2007 profit to dividends and other uses amounting to 616,4 million euro;<br />

• the recognition of 2008 profit amounting to 23,9 million euro;<br />

• a negative change in reserves of 10,9 million euro, attributable primarily to those relating to<br />

available-for-sale financial assets.<br />

The transfer to the income statement of negative reserves amounting to 40,5 million euro relates to the cumulative<br />

negative change in value of the interest held in Intesa Sanpaolo as at 31 st December 2007, while the impairment<br />

losses present within negative changes, amounting to 8,1 million euro, relate to the elimination of the cumulative<br />

positive changes in value until the end of 2007 on the interest held in the London Stock Exchange, (formerly Borsa<br />

Italiana - 7,3 million euro) and A2A (0,8 million euro).<br />

As reported in the relative table in part F of the notes to the financial statements, the<br />

supervisory capital of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> amounted to 13,7 billion euro at the end of 2008 (with tier 1<br />

capital accounting for almost 10 billion euro) compared to 13,5 billion euro twelve months<br />

previously.<br />

The absorption of capital for credit risk, market risk operational risk and other capital<br />

requirements (detailed in the relative table in part F of the notes to the financial statements,<br />

which may be consulted) amounted to 1.275 million euro to give a tier 1 ratio of 45,89% and a<br />

total capital ratio of 64,25%.<br />

In consideration of the solidity of the ratios existing also at consolidated level, the Group has<br />

no immediate need to strengthen its capital. <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> will not therefore take advantage at<br />

present of the opportunity to purchase special government bank bonds (the “Tremonti<br />

Bonds”), pursuant to Art. 12 of Decree Law No. 185/2008 (anti-crisis decree) converted into<br />

law on 28 th January 2009.<br />

Nevertheless with a view to maintaining, strengthening and improving the capital base of the<br />

Group in the medium term and to increasing shareholder loyalty, the Management Board and<br />

508 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


the Supervisory Board have decided to submit a proposal to a shareholders’ meeting for two<br />

capital management initiatives as follows:<br />

1) the issue free of charge to the shareholders of one warrant for every share held on the exdividend<br />

date, which will give the right, after two years from issue, to subscribe one <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> share for every 20 warrants at a price which will be decided by the shareholders’<br />

meeting.<br />

2) the issue of convertible bonds maturing in four years, for a maximum amount of 640<br />

million euro, reserved to shareholders at attractive conditions.<br />

They will be convertible:<br />

before maturity (in any event after 18 months):<br />

- at the option of the bondholder, at a predetermined price;<br />

- at the option of the issuer, at the lower of the predetermined and the market price,<br />

by paying a premium to bondholders.<br />

on maturity the convertible bonds may be redeemed at the option of the issuer either<br />

in cash or by conversion into shares on the basis of the stock exchange price of the<br />

underlying <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share and in any event for a value not less than the nominal value<br />

of the bond.<br />

With this structure, the issue will constitute a remunerated source of funding with a fixed<br />

coupon and it will strengthen capital in the medium term if converted<br />

Both the warrants and the convertible bonds will be listed on regulated markets managed by<br />

Borsa Italiana.<br />

Share performance and shareholder<br />

structure<br />

Share performance<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share is traded on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock<br />

market) of Borsa Italiana in the blue chip segment and forms part of the S&P/MIB Index.<br />

As is known, the crisis that hit financial markets in 2008 reduced capitalisation on all world<br />

stock exchanges and the relative indices recorded substantial losses (see the section “The<br />

macroeconomic scenario”).<br />

On the Milan stock exchange the S&P/Mib index lost 49,5% over twelve months, with all<br />

major sectors (industrial, services and financial) involved; that which lost most was the<br />

financial sector (-53,9%). More specifically the banking sector ended 2008 with a loss of<br />

57,3%. This was the context in which the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share performed in 2008 with a loss of<br />

44,5%.<br />

The fall in share prices is greater if the comparison is made with the date on which the <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Group was established (April 2007), since the origin of the current financial situation<br />

dates back to July 2007, when the United States subprime mortgage crisis began.<br />

Nevertheless, even over this period of time the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share (-52,4%) recorded a more<br />

contained loss than that incurred by the banking sector (-63,7%) and by the S&P/Mib index (-<br />

53,7%) .<br />

2009 began with strong negative trends on markets, with the S&P/Mib index losing 23,19% in<br />

the first three months (20 th March) and the banking sector even more (-26,21%). The <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> share was particularly penalised, (-29,3% to 7,28 euro), recording record lows (6,15<br />

euro – the reference price on 9 th March 2009.<br />

Volumes<br />

The year 2009 began with strong negative trends on markets, with the S&P/Mib index losing<br />

23,19% in the first three months (20 th March) and the banking sector even more (-26,21%).<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share was particularly penalised, (-29,3% to 7,28 euro), recording record lows<br />

(6,15 euro – the reference price on 9 th March 2009.<br />

In 2008, 649 million <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> shares were traded on the screen based stock market for a<br />

value of 9,9 billion euro, compared to 725 million shares for 14,7 billion euro recorded in<br />

2007.<br />

As a result of the decrease in the share price, the stock market capitalisation (calculated on<br />

the official price) at the end of the year had fallen to 6,6 billion euro, corresponding to the<br />

consolidated tangible equity (calculated net of goodwill), from 12 billion euro in 2007. Despite<br />

this, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> remains one of the banking shares with the greatest capitalisation at 4 th place<br />

among Italian banking groups and in first place among “popular” banks.<br />

At European level, the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group was again among the first twenty five on the basis of<br />

the classification drawn up by the ABI (Italian Banking Association) in its European Banking<br />

Report which considers the 15 countries of the European Monetary Union plus Switzerland.<br />

The main information concerning the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> share is summarised below along with the<br />

principal stock market indicators which have been calculated using consolidated figures<br />

stated pro-forma for 2007, which are more meaningful.<br />

Information concerning share capital and share ownership<br />

The share capital of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> as at 31 st December 2008 was unchanged at 1.597.864.755<br />

euro, consisting of 639.145.902 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 2,5 euro; all the<br />

outstanding shares have normal dividend entitlement from 1 st January 2008.<br />

The legislation in force relating to ‘popular’ co-operative banks (Art. 30 of the Consolidated<br />

Banking Act), which is also cited in article 18 of the corporate by-laws, limits the percentage<br />

interest of the share capital that may be owned by registered and unregistered shareholders to<br />

0.50% of the share capital.<br />

The limit on the size of shareholdings does not apply to collective investment companies,<br />

which are subject to the limits laid down in the rules of each of them.<br />

Each registered shareholder may cast only one vote, irrespective of the number of shares held.<br />

Under Article 120 of the Consolidated Finance Act, persons holding more than 2% of the share<br />

capital in a share issuer which has Italy as its member state of origin must notify this to the<br />

company and to the CONSOB (Italian securities market authority).<br />

At the date of this financial report no reports of positions greater than 2% had been notified,<br />

other than those received in April 2007 at the time of the merger of <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e<br />

Piemontese. On the date of the payment the 2008 dividend, the principal shareholders of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Bank held shares as follows: 2,280% by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo; 2,255% by<br />

Fondazione <strong>Banca</strong> del Monte di Lombardia; 2,122% by Carlo Tassara Spa 1 . In accordance with<br />

Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act, the Bank proceeded to inform those concerned of the<br />

prohibition on holding more than 0,50% of the share capital 2 .<br />

On the basis of an updating of the shareholders’ register, registered shareholders numbered<br />

85.280 as at 31 st December 2008. They held more than 65% of the share capital. If account is<br />

also taken of the shareholders who are not listed in the shareholders’ register, then the total of<br />

registered and unregistered shareholders numbered approximately 151 thousand. On the<br />

basis of data relating to the dividend distribution paid in 2008, 44% of the overall shareholder<br />

base of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> consists of private individuals and 56% consists of legal entities. The<br />

1 At the date of this report, the interest held was 2,004%.<br />

2 Art. 41, paragraph 14 of Decree Law No 207 of 30 th December 2008, converted into Law No. 14 of 27 th February<br />

2009, granted a further postponement of one year (with respect to what had already been granted by Art. 28-bis of<br />

Decree Law No. 248 of 31 st December 2007, converted into Law No. 31 of 28 th February 2008) for the sale of equity<br />

investments in excess of 0,50% of the share capital held in “popular” co-operative banks, where the reason for<br />

exceeding the limit relates to ownership concentration transactions between banks or between investors. That<br />

postponement was communicated by letter to the parties concerned.<br />

shares held by institutional investors represent more than 39% of the share capital 3 and more<br />

Own shares<br />

As at 31 st December 2008 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> held none of its own shares and it neither purchased nor<br />

sold shares during the year (notes to the financial statements, Part B, Liabilities, Section 14<br />

Table 14.3).<br />

Report on the admission of new registered shareholders (pursuant<br />

to Art. 2528, paragraph five of the Italian Civil Code)<br />

We report that again in 2008, the admission of new registered shareholders was decided by<br />

first assessing the applications presented in compliance with the articles 6 and 9 of the<br />

corporate by-laws of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>.<br />

The applications submitted for the approval of the Management Board numbered a total of<br />

1.792, all fully accepted, after verifying the possession of a minimum of 250 shares by aspiring<br />

registered shareholders, as provided for by article 8, paragraph 2 of the corporate by-laws.<br />

In detail, 1.759 applications were collected by banks in the Group and the remaining 33<br />

through non Group intermediaries.<br />

Report on mutual objects (in accordance with Art. 2545 of the Italian Civil<br />

Code)<br />

In accordance with its model as a ‘popular’ bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> not only orients its operating<br />

policies towards the production of value in general, but also towards achieving the mutual<br />

objects intrinsic in its institutional model, both through initiatives directed to grant<br />

3 On the basis of the latest survey conducted on the composition of the shareholder base in co-operation with an<br />

international company specialising in “market intelligence”, which does not include trust companies and hedge<br />

funds, the share capital held by institutional investors is located mainly in Europe (including Italy), in the British<br />

Isles area (United Kingdom and Ireland) and in North America.<br />

514 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


concessions directly to its registered shareholders and through numerous actions to support<br />

the local economies of the areas in which the bank operates traditionally.<br />

The package termed “Value Project”, is important with regard to the first aspect. It is a set of<br />

banking and insurance concessions, free of charge, destined exclusively to the registered<br />

shareholders of the Bank. The banking concessions are reserved to those who hold a current<br />

account and have shares in the Bank deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance<br />

policies are for registered shareholders in general.<br />

More specifically, the Value Project allows registered shareholders to save on the monthly<br />

charges on some of the Duetto bundled accounts, it exempts them from assessment charges<br />

for home mortgage and personal loans and grants them loans at special rates to meet the<br />

costs of their children’s education.<br />

Young registered shareholders are exempted from charges for activating prepaid and<br />

rechargeable cards.<br />

As concerns insurance, the Value Project grants, free of charge, a family civil liability policy,<br />

an accident life or permanent invalidity policy, a safe withdrawal policy which pays damages<br />

for thefts or robberies occurring during paying in or withdrawal operations and a daily<br />

indemnity in case of hospitalisation caused by an accident.<br />

Again with regard to initiatives on behalf of shareholders and more specifically also to increase<br />

the loyalty of registered shareholders and to provide an incentive to participate in shareholder<br />

events as a pivotal moment of meeting and discussion on the life of the bank, a three-year<br />

competition is currently in progress in which prizes are drawn for registered shareholders<br />

attending meetings.<br />

As concerns support for the local economies in the areas in which the Bank operates through<br />

its Group, decisions are made as part of the social responsibility orientation of the Bank which<br />

reflects its “historical” mission of being a ‘Popular Bank’ strongly rooted in the social and<br />

economic life of the community committed to the promotion of harmonious and lasting<br />

development, thereby interpreting and implementing the original co-operative objects of<br />

‘popular’ banks in a new and broader manner.<br />

The network banks, which are operationally and legally autonomous, are organised on a<br />

federal model according to a principal of complementarity, which integrates different corporate<br />

histories and cultures which each have a common vocation: strongly rooted in local areas,<br />

attention to the needs of local financial, industrial and economic communities and a strong<br />

orientation to serve families and small to medium size enterprises.<br />

The Group has grown in this way to cover a large part of the Italian regions with banks which<br />

originated in them and which have gradually opened new branches or merged with other local<br />

realities to achieve a particularly large share of branches in their provinces of origin. That is<br />

why the role of the branch networks is emphasised in the Group’s banks: their primary<br />

objective is to focus on longstanding links with local economies and communities, to conserve<br />

traditional relationships between bank and customer and to create value in society.<br />

The branches are not concentrated in a few large centres, but are spread throughout almost<br />

1.200 municipalities.<br />

In order to better direct the Bank’s operations to assist business communities in the very<br />

many local realities in which the Group is present, it works with trade associations and<br />

guarantee bodies that represent local communities, by means of conventions for the purpose<br />

of granting ordinary loans and also specific loans to develop the competitiveness of small to<br />

medium sized enterprises. The product companies play a key role here by providing excellent<br />

services in fields that include business advisory services, innovative finance, easy-term credit,<br />

leasing and electronic commerce (see the section on small businesses in the consolidated<br />

management report).<br />

Finally constant attention continues to be paid to the development of new products and<br />

services with particular reference to social and environmental issues. One issue that has been<br />

515 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


addressed in recent years, of great importance, is that of the social inclusion of disadvantaged<br />

groups and of immigrant citizens from outside the European Community in particular. Local<br />

institutions and trade associations are involved with the dual task of indicating cases worthy<br />

of attention and of guaranteeing that finance consisting of very small loans actually arrives at<br />

its destination for social welfare purposes and to support entrepreneurial initiatives and study<br />

and retraining courses for those groups in the population. Work has been in progress in this<br />

direction for some time now with a project named “InItaly”, which involves funding and lending<br />

products and banking and insurance services dedicated to immigrants from outside the<br />

European Community and more generally to disadvantaged groups in society and to voluntary<br />

associations. In order to make an even more incisive contribution to preventing the risk of<br />

social exclusion for the more disadvantaged groups who have difficulty in gaining access to<br />

bank credit, a strategic partnership was entered into at the end of 2008 with PerMicro Spa, a<br />

national operator which specialises in developing micro-credit for individuals and very small<br />

businesses.<br />

In recent years, in consideration of the increasing gravity of environmental problems, the<br />

Group has introduced specific products to support the environment and initiatives to reduce<br />

polluting emissions by private individuals and businesses with the continuation of the “My<br />

city” project and the development of the “Energy Space” project, which led to the launch of two<br />

new lines of finance, one dedicated to alternative energies (“New Energy”) and one directed<br />

specifically to the development of photovoltaic cells “Forza Sole” (Sun Strength). The marketing<br />

campaign “Quì <strong>UBI</strong> per l’ambiente” is also designed to increase awareness of environmental<br />

issues among customers. It was launched in November in co-operation with WWF Italia to<br />

promote internet banking in the Group by supporting initiatives to study and conserve the<br />

environment in nature reserves and parks located in the provinces in which the network<br />

banks have their roots.<br />

Attention to local needs in a context of subsidiarity and mutuality is also borne out by the<br />

numerous initiatives to provide social, cultural, scientific, welfare and environmental support<br />

performed directly by the Group’s network banks, which are flanked by initiatives by the<br />

Parent Bank and by the Foundations created by the Group, the <strong>Banca</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di<br />

Bergamo Onlus, Banche Popolari Unite per Varese Onlus, Fondazione CAB and Fondazione<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> San Paolo di Brescia (see also the special section in the consolidated management<br />

report). More specifically, in accordance with their corporate by-laws, the principal Banks in<br />

the Group grant a part of their profits to charitable, humanitarian, social, cultural and artistic<br />

purposes<br />

The Bank also gives priority in its sponsorship activities designed to promote its image to<br />

initiatives which link its brand name with associations and personalities in the world of<br />

voluntary work, culture and sport that provide positive examples to the community.<br />

Action was taken in 2008 involving funds totalling more than 21,5 million euro with which<br />

the Group contributed to the life of hundreds of organisations and associations, both church<br />

associated and others, spread throughout the community to fuel intense activity that is<br />

important to individual local areas.<br />

Initiatives to reform legislation on ‘popular’ co-operative banks<br />

In recent years the Italian Parliament has attempted on several occasions to examine the<br />

legislation governing “popular” banks with a view to making changes with regard to the<br />

maximum limit on shares that may be held by individual and institutional investors.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has expressed its opinion in favour of raising the limits on shareholdings, but at<br />

the same time conserving the regulations on “popular” banks, especially with regard to the<br />

principle of per capita voting.<br />

Amendments to corporate by-laws<br />

On 27 th January 2009 the Management Board passed a resolution to submit the following<br />

amendments of the Corporate By-Laws to a shareholders’ meeting: articles 5 and 13 (Title III -<br />

Share Capital, Registered Shareholders and Shares), articles 22 and 28 (Title V - Shareholders’<br />

Meetings), articles 30, 36, 37, 38 and 39 (Title VI - Management Board), articles 43 and 43 bis<br />

(Title VII- Chief Executive Officer), articles 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49 (TITLE VIII - Supervisory<br />

Board), article 51 (Title X - Board of Arbitration), article 52 (Title XI- Financial Statements,<br />

profits and reserves) and the transition regulations from I to VI.<br />

Those amendments to the corporate by-laws – authorised by the Supervisory Board in a<br />

meeting of 30 th January 2009 – are attributable mainly to the need for the Corporate By-Laws<br />

to comply with the rules introduced by the “Supervisory provisions on the organisation and<br />

corporate governance of Banks”, adopted by the Governor of the Bank of Italy on 4 th March<br />

2008 (hereinafter “Bank of Italy Provisions”). Amendments made in this respect concerned the<br />

following:<br />

i) procedures for the appointment, removal and substitution of members of the Supervisory<br />

Board, with provisions for greater representation of candidates from minority lists;<br />

ii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to determine the total remuneration of members<br />

of the Supervisory Board, including therefore those with particular appointments, powers or<br />

functions;<br />

iii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to approve remuneration policies for members of<br />

the Management Board and remuneration and/or incentive schemes based on financial<br />

instruments;<br />

iv) the criterion for distributing remuneration among the members of the Supervisory Board;<br />

v) more precise identification and distinction of the duties and responsibilities of the<br />

Management Board and of the Supervisory Board, regarding in particular:<br />

- powers conferred on the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chairman of the<br />

Supervisory Board;<br />

- powers attributable to bodies delegated by the Management Board;<br />

- strategic operations reserved to the Supervisory Board;<br />

vi) participation in Management Board meetings by members of the internal control<br />

committee;<br />

vii) the elimination of transition regulations, because they are now obsolete.<br />

Finally amendments of a formal nature are proposed or in any case designed to introduce a<br />

more precise definition to the by-laws.<br />

If approved the proposals in question will not give rise to the right to withdraw from the<br />

company.<br />

Information on corporate litigation currently pending concerning <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is given in the<br />

Tax consolidation<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> participates in the national tax consolidation pursuant to articles 117 et seq. of the<br />

TUIR (consolidated law on income tax). As a result of the amendments introduced by Law No.<br />

244/2007 (the 2008 Finance Act) from 1 st January 2008 there is no longer total exemption for<br />

intragroup dividends and the regime of neutrality for transfers between members of the Group<br />

has also been removed. The tax consolidation expiring in 2010 1 was confirmed in June 2008,<br />

but without effect for the three year contracts that already existed and expired in 2008 2 .<br />

Decree Law No. 112/2008, enacted immediately following the expiry of the time limit for taking<br />

up the three year option, introduced concessionary measures in relation to the non<br />

deductibility of interest expense – see article 96, paragraph 5 bis, of the TUIR. These will lead<br />

as a consequence to a further extension of the tax consolidation from 2009 with the inclusion<br />

of companies already excluded for organisational and operational reasons.<br />

Legislation on the protection of personal data<br />

In compliance with Art. 34 of Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 th June 2003 – Legislation on the<br />

protection of personal data – the periodical update of the security programme document was<br />

completed on time and in compliance with the recommendations contained in the Attachment<br />

B, Technical Regulations, of that decree (Rule 19).<br />

1 The tax consolidation expiring in 2010 includes <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi, Mercato Impresa, <strong>UBI</strong> Assicurazioni, <strong>UBI</strong> CentroSystem, BPB<br />

Immobiliare and <strong>UBI</strong> Gestioni Fiduciarie.<br />

2 The tax consolidation which expired in 2008 included <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo, Banco di Brescia, <strong>Banca</strong> Regionale Europea,<br />

Banco di San Giorgio, <strong>Banca</strong> di Valle Camonica, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Private Investment, <strong>UBI</strong> Leasing, Silf, <strong>UBI</strong> Factor, Capitalgest Alternative<br />

Proposal for the allocation of profit for the<br />

year and a dividend distribution<br />

Dear Shareholders,<br />

In compliance with article 2364 bis of the Italian Civil Code and article 52 of the corporate bylaws,<br />

the following allocation of profit and dividend distribution is proposed:<br />

Profit for the year Euro 23.885.701,72<br />

10% to the legal reserve Euro -2.388.570,17<br />

Remaining profit Euro 21.497.131,55<br />

artistic purposes Euro -322.456,97<br />

Profit distribu table Euro 13.775.117,58<br />

from retained profit Euro 261.344,49<br />

from the extraordinary reserve Euro 273.579.193,83<br />

TOTAL Euro 287.615.655,90<br />

Euro 0,45 for each of the 639.145.902 ordinary shares with dividend entitlement 1st<br />

January 2008 Euro -287.615.655,90<br />

(*) Net gains relate to non negotiable financial instruments.<br />

As a result of the Bank’s sound capital ratios and a policy of allocating to reserves pursued in<br />

previous years with the objective, amongst other things, of stabilising the remuneration of<br />

shares, the Management Board has decided to propose the declaration of a dividend of 0,45<br />

euro for each of the ordinary shares outstanding.<br />

Payment of the dividend, if approved, will commence on 18 th May 2009 (value date 21 st May<br />

2009), against coupon No. 7.<br />

As a result of the tax reform which came into force on 1 st January 2004, there is no tax credit<br />

on the dividend and, depending on who receives it, it is either subject to a withholding tax or<br />

part of it constitutes taxable income.<br />

The total dividend payment will amount to 287,6 million euro drawn on the profit of the Parent<br />

Bank and on the extraordinary reserve after legal and by-law allocations.<br />

- a negative amount of 6.208.722 euro for the recognition of goodwill (net of tax) generated following the acquisition of the depository bank operations from <strong>Banca</strong> Regionale<br />

Europea S.p.A., treated in the accounts as a reduction in reserves because it was considered an operation “under common control”;<br />

- a positive amount of 710.595 euro for the recognition of the gain on the disposal (net of tax), following the contribution of the company BPU <strong>Banca</strong> International Sa to <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> International Sa, recognised as an increase in reserves because it was considered an operation “under common control”.<br />

Part A – Accounting policies<br />

A.1 – GENERAL PART<br />

Section 1 - Declaration of compliance with IAS/IFRS<br />

This annual report of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group has been prepared in compliance with the<br />

international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board<br />

(IASB) and homologated at the date of publication and also in compliance with the related<br />

interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) 20 .<br />

The financial statements, consisting of the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of<br />

Cash Flows, Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, the notes to the accounts and the<br />

management report, subjected to audit by the independent auditors, constitute the separate<br />

company report of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa, the Parent Bank of the Unione di Banche Italiane<br />

Banking Group.<br />

The separate financial statements as at 31 st December 2008 have been clearly stated and give<br />

a true and fair view of the capital and financial position, the result for the period, the changes<br />

in equity and the cash flows.<br />

Section 2 - General principles of preparation<br />

These financial statements have been prepared according to the general accounting principles<br />

contained in IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements” and they therefore report information<br />

on a going concern basis, recognising income and expenses on an accruals basis, without<br />

offsetting assets against liabilities and income against expenses. The current context of<br />

economic and financial crisis persuaded management to examine the going concern<br />

assumption with particular care and to confirm it on the basis of the arguments presented in<br />

the section “Principal risks and uncertainties to which the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group is exposed”<br />

contained in this publication.<br />

Account was taken in the preparation of this annual report of the Bank of Italy /Consob/Isvap<br />

document No. 2 of 6 th February 2009 which, in this context of the difficult economic and<br />

market conditions, calls attention to the need to ensure that financial reporting is adequate<br />

and while it does not introduce further obligations in addition to those already provided by<br />

international accounting standards, it recommends thorough and full compliance with them.<br />

More specifically the contents of that document have been adhered to in the following sections<br />

of this annual report:<br />

- preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis: see the section<br />

“Principal risks and uncertainties to which the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group is exposed” in the<br />

consolidated management report;<br />

- information on financial risks: see Part E “Information on risks and the relative<br />

hedging policies” and the section “Hierarchy of the fair value of financial instruments”<br />

in the notes to the financial statements;<br />

- information to be provided on impairment testing: see the report in section 11<br />

“property, plant and equipment” and section 12 “intangible assets” of the notes to the<br />

financial statements;<br />

20<br />

See the “List of IAS/IFRS standards approved by the European Commission” presented in Part A.1 of the notes to the<br />

consolidated financial statements. The standards listed there and the relative interpretations are applied on the<br />

basis of events occurring that are disciplined by them and the year from which they must be applied.<br />

535 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


- uncertainties on the use of estimates: see the sub-section “Use of estimates and<br />

assumptions in the preparation of the annual financial statements” of the section 5<br />

“Other aspects” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.<br />

The information contained in them is expressed, unless otherwise indicated, in euro as the<br />

accounting currency and the financial information, the balance sheet and income statement,<br />

the notes and comments and the explanatory tables are presented in thousands of euro. The<br />

relative rounding of the figures has been performed on the basis of Bank of Italy instructions.<br />

Items for which there are no values for the current and the previous period have been omitted.<br />

The mandatory financial statements used in this annual report comply with those defined in<br />

Bank of Italy Circular No. 262/2005 and in addition to the accounts as at 31 st December<br />

2008, they also provide the same comparative information as at 31 st December 2007.<br />

As a result of the merger which became effective on 1 st April 2007, the comparative income<br />

statement to 31 st December 2007 presents the results for the period 1 st January-31 st<br />

December 2007 for the former BPU <strong>Banca</strong> Group and for the last three quarters of 2007 for<br />

the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese Group. Since the figures presented in the<br />

comparative financial statements as at 31 st December 2007 are not fully comparable with the<br />

financial statements as at 31 st December 2008, pro-forma balance sheet and income<br />

statement figures have been prepared as at 31 st December 2007 to support the “management<br />

report”.<br />

That section also contains comments on the principal changes that occurred in the capital and<br />

financial situation during the reporting period.<br />

It should also be considered that <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> contributed its service and support operations to<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi with effect from 1 st October 2007.<br />

The following changes have been made to the 2007 figures with respect to those published in<br />

the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 st December 2007:<br />

in order to provide a more precise classification, reverse repurchase and repurchase<br />

agreements with an institutional counterparty were reclassified out of the item “loans<br />

to banks” into the item “loans to customers” (212 million euro) and out of “due to<br />

banks” and into “due to customers” (468 million euro);<br />

following instructions given by the Bank of Italy, statutory auditors remuneration (211<br />

thousand euro) was reclassified within administrative expenses out of item b) “other<br />

administrative expenses” into item a) “staff costs”;<br />

Accounting policies<br />

The accounting policies contained in Part A.2 concerning the classification, valuation and<br />

derecognition phases are essentially the same as those adopted for the preparation of the 2007<br />

annual financial statements.<br />

The accounting policies employed tend to apply the cost criterion with the exception of the<br />

following financial assets and liabilities, which are valued using the fair value criterion:<br />

financial instruments held for trading (including derivative products), financial instruments<br />

designated at fair value (in application of the fair value option) and available-for-sale financial<br />

instruments.<br />

To complete the information, non current assets available for sale (and the liabilities<br />

associated with them) have been recognised at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair<br />

value (net of sales costs).<br />

536 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Section 3 - Events occurring after the balance sheet date<br />

With regard to the provisions of IAS 10, subsequent to the balance sheet date as at 31 st<br />

December 2008 and until 24 th March 2009, the date on which the Annual Report was<br />

approved by the Management Board for submission to the Supervisory Board, no events<br />

occurred to make adjustments to the figures presented in the report necessary.<br />

We report the following for information purposes:<br />

- <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> accepted, with the shares it held, accounting for 1,89% of the share capital, the<br />

voluntary public tender offer to purchase the total of the ordinary shares of Meliorbanca<br />

S.p.A. made by <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna Soc. Coop. at a price of 3,20 euro per<br />

share. Following the public tender offer, which was concluded on 24 th February 2009, on<br />

3 rd March 2008 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> received payment of approximately 7,6 million euro with a gain<br />

of one million euro;<br />

- on 4 th March 2009, as part of an agreement signed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, Centrobanca and<br />

Medinvest International, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> purchased a further 32,4% stake in the share capital of<br />

IW Bank, held by the current management, at a price of 2,97 euro per share with normal<br />

dividend entitlement for a total price of approximately 70,9 million euro. The agreement<br />

also involved the purchase by Medinvest International of a stake in the share capital of IW<br />

Bank, which will in turn acquire a majority interest that may rise to 100% in the share<br />

capital of Twice SIM (a company which specialises in brokerage services and activities in<br />

capital markets and corporate finance for small to medium size enterprises), 59,3%<br />

controlled by Medinvest International;<br />

- on 13 th March 2009, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> subscribed to its quota (34,82%) of the first increase in the<br />

share capital decided by an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Banco di San Giorgio<br />

amounting to 68.385.750,28 euro, in order to strengthen its capital in consideration of its<br />

acquisition of operations from Intesa Sanpaolo, consisting of 13 branches located in the<br />

province of La Spezia.<br />

Section 4 - Other aspects<br />

In order to avoid reporting duplications, the section 5 “Other aspects” in the consolidated<br />

financial report may be consulted for aspects not specifically reported in the remaining part of<br />

this section, with the exception of the sub-section “Amendments to IAS 39” which follows.<br />

Accounting treatment for combinations between entities under common control<br />

In 2008 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa was involved in various transactions which for the purposes of the<br />

application of the accounting policies constitute mergers of businesses or entities under<br />

common control and as such are explicitly excluded from the application of the accounting<br />

standard IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. The accounting treatment applied is therefore<br />

based on recommendations contained in “Orientamenti preliminari Assirevi in tema IFRS” (OPI)<br />

(preliminary orientations on IFRS of the Italian National Association of Auditors) as explained<br />

in greater detail in Part A.1 – Section 5 “Other aspects” of the notes to the consolidated<br />

financial statements.<br />

Considering that at present there is no well established standard interpretation of the contents<br />

of the OPIs, especially with regard to the recognition of significant economic substance, in<br />

continuity with the practice followed for the 2007 annual report, it was considered appropriate<br />

to adopt a prudent approach by which in cases of higher values being found for operations<br />

under common control subject to merger transaction, these were recognised within a separate<br />

reserve in shareholders’ equity.<br />

We report the following with regard to individual transactions:<br />

• the contribution of the interest held in Capitalgest Alternative Investments SGR to <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Pramerica resulted in a gain recognised as an increase in equity reserves;<br />

537 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


• the portion of the proceeds resulting from the liquidation of Financiera Veneta EFC<br />

attributable to the gain on the sale of the operations to <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> International was<br />

recognised as an increase in equity reserves;<br />

• the loss arising from the merger of the subsidiary Mercati Finanziari Sim was<br />

recognised as a reduction in equity reserves;<br />

• the interest held in FinanzAttiva Servizi purchased by <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica and by<br />

Centrobanca was recognised at the fair value at the date of the transaction,<br />

corresponding to the price paid;<br />

• the sale of shares of <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi to Group member companies was<br />

performed for amounts less than the carrying value. The lower value that emerged was<br />

more appropriately charged to the income statement.<br />

Tax realignment of goodwill<br />

Decree Law No. 185 of 29 th November 2008, converted into Law No. 2 of 28 th January 2009 –<br />

urgent measures to support families, work, employment and businesses to reformulate the<br />

general national strategy on an anti-crisis basis – allows the adoption, under paragraphs 1 to<br />

15 of article 15, of an optional regime specifically for entities that comply with IAS-IFRS<br />

accounting standards. It realigns tax accounting values with financial accounting values for<br />

some assets if determined assumptions are met and is adopted by payment of a tax to<br />

substitute IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local production tax).<br />

The items to which this realignment may be applied includes goodwill not recognised for tax<br />

purposes arising from business combination transactions that are tax neutral (i.e. mergers,<br />

spin-offs and contributions of company operations). <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> therefore decided to take<br />

advantage of this option with regard to the goodwill recognised when the purchase price<br />

allocation was performed in respect of the merger between the former BPU Group and the<br />

former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese Group (569 million euro approx.)<br />

The provisions of Decree Law No. 185 allow, on the one hand, the realignment of the tax value<br />

of the goodwill with the accounting value by payment of a substitute tax of 16% to be paid in<br />

2009 and, on the other hand, the off-balance sheet amortisation for IRES and IRAP purposes<br />

of the amount released at constant rates over nine years starting from the year after that on<br />

which the substitute tax just mentioned is paid.<br />

With particular regard to the accounting treatment described below, it must be considered<br />

that reference was made, in the absence of specific provisions in international accounting<br />

standards and pursuant to sections 11 and 12 of IAS 8, to the document issued by the Italian<br />

Accountants Association (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità), “Hypothesis for the accounting<br />

treatment for the substitute tax on the release of goodwill pursuant to Decree Law No. 185 of<br />

29 th November 2008 Art. 15 paragraph 10” which allows recognition of the substitute tax and<br />

of the relative deferred tax assets at the same time.<br />

The estimated amount for the relative substitute tax (16%), which will be paid in 2009, was<br />

therefore fully recognised in the accounts for 2008 and the full amounts for the deferred tax<br />

assets were recognised corresponding to nominal rates for IRES (27,5%) + IRAP (4,82%) =<br />

32,32%, against recognition of lower taxes.<br />

The income statement for 2008 recorded greater current taxation due to the substitute tax,<br />

amounting 91 million euro and lower taxation due to the deferred taxation amounting to euro<br />

184 million, with a net positive effect of 93 million euro arising from the difference between the<br />

substitute tax rate and the ordinary tax rate.<br />

538 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Amendments to IAS 39<br />

Amendments to IAS 39, “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement”, came into<br />

force with the publication of European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1004/2008 in the<br />

Official Journal of the European Union No. 275 of 16 th October 2008 .<br />

These amendments are designed basically to allow some limited possibilities to reclassify<br />

financial assets classified within “financial assets held for trading” (i.e. assets recognised at<br />

fair value through profit and loss) within other categories, under determined conditions such<br />

as for example those of the current crisis on financial markets, in order to avoid measurement<br />

at fair value.<br />

These amendments are also to be seen as moving closer to the positions of the United States<br />

FASB which already allowed these possibilities under determined circumstances.<br />

More specifically the amendment to IAS 39 allows the following:<br />

1. in rare circumstances to reclassify any financial asset – except for derivative<br />

instruments – out of “financial assets held for trading” (asset item 20 in the balance<br />

sheet) into another class;<br />

2. to reclassify financial assets which possess the objective characteristics of “loans and<br />

receivables” where there is the intention to keep them for a foreseeable future period or<br />

until they mature, out of “financial assets held for trading” (asset item 20 on the<br />

balance sheet) and out of “available-for-sale financial assets” (asset item 40 on the<br />

balance sheet) into “loans and receivables” (i.e. “loans to banks” or “loans to<br />

customers” – asset items 60 and 70 on the balance sheet respectively.<br />

If made before 1 st November, the adjustments made on the basis of those amendments could<br />

be backdated to a date not prior to 1 st July using the prices quoted on that date. However,<br />

reclassifications performed since 1 st November 2008 are effective from the date on which they<br />

are performed.<br />

The provisions of IAS 39 which already allowed reclassifications out of “held-to-maturity<br />

financial assets” into “available-for-sale financial assets” and vice versa remain in force.<br />

As concerns all of the above and with specific regard to both the amendments to IAS 39 and to<br />

the guidelines on the application of the fair value criterion, as already reported in the<br />

consolidated quarterly report as at 30 th September 2008, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> considered that it had no<br />

need to use the options granted and therefore it has not performed any reclassifications of<br />

financial assets currently held in portfolio on the basis of the new provisions contained in IAS<br />

39.<br />

The valuation of financial instruments on markets considered “inactive”<br />

On 31 st October 2008, the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) issued a press<br />

release in this respect entitled “IASB publishes educational guidance on the application of fair<br />

value measurement when markets become inactive”, providing guidelines on the application of<br />

fair value criteria.<br />

These guidelines are consistent with those already issued by the United States FASB<br />

(Financial Accounting Standards Board) and are designed to allow greater use of valuation<br />

techniques which are also based on assumptions made by management in the presence of<br />

prices formulated on markets that are considered inactive.<br />

In this case the fair value is calculated using a “mark-to-model” method, which are valuation<br />

techniques based on internal company estimates of future cash flows, discounted, for<br />

example, for liquidity risk and credit risk.<br />

In consideration of the characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio no use has been made of markto-model<br />

valuation techniques.<br />

539 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Hierarchy of the fair value of financial instruments<br />

The fair value used for measuring the value of financial instruments is determined on the<br />

basis of the hierarchy reported below.<br />

Quotations taken from active markets (level 1):<br />

the valuation is the market price of the instrument, i.e. the price quoted. A market is defined<br />

as active when the prices quoted reflect normal market transactions, are regularly and readily<br />

available and if those prices represent actual and regular market trading.<br />

Valuation methods based on observable market inputs (level 2):<br />

these methods are used when the instrument to be valued is not quoted on an active market.<br />

The valuation of the financial instrument is based on prices inferred from market quotations<br />

for similar assets or by using valuation techniques for which all the significant factors – credit<br />

spreads and liquidity spreads – are inferred from observable market variables. Although this is<br />

the application of a valuation technique, there is no element of discretion in the resulting<br />

price, because all the parameters used are drawn from markets and the calculation methods<br />

used replicate quotations existing on active markets.<br />

Valuation methods based on non observable market parameters (level 3):<br />

these methods consist of determining the price of an unlisted financial instrument by making<br />

substantial use of significant parameters not inferred from markets and which therefore<br />

involve the use of estimates and assumptions made by management.<br />

In detail:<br />

Securities (other than minority equity investments recognised in the AFS portfolio)<br />

69% of the securities recognised on the assets side of the balance sheet at fair value are listed<br />

on an active market (level 1), 15% are valued using the last available NAV (units in hedge<br />

funds and private equity funds), while the remaining 16% is calculated using methods based<br />

on observable market inputs (level 2).<br />

Derivatives<br />

Almost all the derivative instruments recognised within financial assets and liabilities held for<br />

trading consist of over the counter derivatives.<br />

These instruments are valued using internal models which employ market inputs.<br />

The remaining derivative instruments recognised within the trading portfolios are listed on<br />

active markets.<br />

No use is made in the valuation of securities and derivatives of methods based on non<br />

observable market parameters (level 3). No change in these valuation methods has been made<br />

with respect to 31 st December 2007.<br />

Minority equity investments recognised within the AFS portfolio<br />

Approximately 80% of minority equity investments recognised in the balance sheet within<br />

“available-for-sale assets” are valued on the basis of market prices (level 1), 15% are valued<br />

using valuation methods which considers transactions which occurred in the security within a<br />

period of time considered reasonably close enough to the valuation date and, in some cases,<br />

by using market multiple methods for comparable companies (level 2), while approximately 5%<br />

are valued using methods based on fundamentals analysis of the company (level 3).<br />

Shareholdings carried at cost account for a very negligible proportion of the total.<br />

Information on the valuation models used for securities and derivatives<br />

The target instrument used for pricing securities and derivatives in the <strong>UBI</strong> Group is the<br />

software application Mxg2000 by Murex. This software takes account of all market factors in<br />

measuring the value of financial instruments.<br />

540 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The majority of the market data is acquired through the information provider Reuters, partly in<br />

real time (i.e. prices, yield curves and exchange rates) and partly at preset times (ATM volatility<br />

for swaptions and ATM volatility and smile curves for caps and floors). The application is also<br />

fed “on demand” with a series of market parameters supplied by the provider Bloomberg:<br />

correlations, dividend yields, index and forex volatility.<br />

Fair value is calculated daily as follows:<br />

the market parameters acquired in real time by Mxg2000 (prices, yield curves and<br />

exchange rates) are crystallised at 4.45 p.m. and used as reference data for calculating<br />

the mark-to-market. The last update of the day for the volatilities of swaptions and<br />

caps/floors (and the other market data acquired on demand if necessary) is performed<br />

at 4.45 p.m.;<br />

at the end of the day closure (which occurs at 9.00 p.m.), a series of software<br />

procedures are performed which extract various information from Mxg2000 including<br />

the reference mark-to-market for the day.<br />

Securities<br />

The pricing of unlisted securities is currently calculated using the software application Risk<br />

Watch by Algorithmics, before the full migration of Group portfolios onto the Mxg2000 Front<br />

Office target system takes place. These are bonds for which the future cash flows are<br />

discounted to present values using interest rates which take into account the specific nature<br />

of the issuer (rating, business sector and the currency in which the instrument is<br />

denominated).<br />

Derivatives<br />

Input data is fed into Mxg2000 on all OTC interest rate and exchange rate derivative<br />

instruments and on derivative instruments to hedge bonds and ALM (with interest rate, equity<br />

and exchange rate as the underlying).<br />

Values are measured for all contracts which can be priced using closed formula models. In<br />

detail, the main pricing models used in Mxg2000 for OTC derivatives are: Black Yield, Black<br />

Fwd, Black Swap Yield, Cox Fwd, Trinomial, Lnormal and CMS Convexity Analytical.<br />

Derivative instruments that are not managed in Murex, used to hedge structured bonds, are<br />

valued using internal models (stochastic models with MonteCarlo simulations).<br />

Part E - market risks may be consulted for the results of sensitivity analyses and stress tests.<br />

A.2 – MAIN BALANCE SHEET ITEMS<br />

1. Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial<br />

assets and liabilities at fair value<br />

This category includes:<br />

1.1. Definition of financial assets and liabilities held for trading<br />

A financial asset or liability is classified as held for trading (at fair value through profit or loss<br />

– FVPL) and is stated under either item 20 “Financial assets held for trading” or item 40<br />

“Financial liabilities held for trading”, if it is:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

acquired or incurred for sale or repurchase in the short term;<br />

part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments which are managed together and for<br />

which there is evidence of a recent and effective strategy of short term profit taking;<br />

a derivative (except for derivatives designated and effective as a hedging instrument – see<br />

the dedicated paragraph below).<br />

The Bank has recognised bonds held for trading and repurchase agreements, ABS<br />

instruments issued for securitisation operations and equity instruments held for trading<br />

within “Financial assets held for trading”. They also include units in hedge funds purchased<br />

prior to 1 st July 2007 as well as equity instruments owned, other than those classified as<br />

controlled or held for merchant banking and private equity activities.<br />

1.1.1. Derivative financial instruments<br />

A “derivative” is defined as a financial instrument or other contract with the following<br />

characteristics:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

its value changes in response to the change in an interest rate, in the price of a financial<br />

instrument, in a commodity price, in a foreign currency exchange rate, in a price, interest<br />

rate or credit rating index, or credit worthiness index or other specific variable;<br />

it requires no initial investment, or a net initial investment that is smaller than would be<br />

required for other types of contract from which a similar response to changes in market<br />

factors would be expected;<br />

it is settled at a future date.<br />

The Bank holds derivative financial instruments for both trading and for hedging purposes<br />

(see the relative section below for information on the latter). All derivatives held for trading are<br />

stated initially at fair value which generally is the same as cost. Subsequently derivative<br />

contracts are stated at fair value, which is the value that the Bank would pay or receive if it<br />

terminated the derivative contract at the date of valuation. Each change measured in the fair<br />

value is recognised in the income statement within the item 80 “Net profit (loss) on trading”.<br />

The fair value of derivatives is measured by applying the methods described in the section<br />

below “Valuation Criteria”.<br />

1.1.2. Embedded derivative financial instruments<br />

An "embedded derivative financial instrument" is defined as a component of a hybrid<br />

(combined) instrument which also includes a “host” non derivative contract such that some of<br />

the cash flows of the combined instrument behave in a way similarly to the derivative as a<br />

stand-alone instrument. The implicit derivative is separated from the host contract and treated<br />

in the accounts as a stand-alone derivative if and only if:<br />

the economic risks and characteristics of the embedded derivative are not closely related to<br />

the economic risks and characteristics of the host contract;<br />

a separate instrument with the same conditions as the embedded derivative would satisfy<br />

the definition of a derivative;<br />

542 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


the hybrid (combined) instrument is not recognised within financial assets or liabilities<br />

held for trading<br />

The fair value of separated derivatives is measured by applying the methodology described in<br />

the section below “Valuation criteria”.<br />

1.2. Definition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value<br />

Financial assets and liabilities may be designated on initial recognition under “financial assets<br />

and liabilities at fair value” and recorded under items 30 “Financial assets held at fair value”<br />

and 50 “Financial liabilities at fair value”.<br />

A financial asset/liability is designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition<br />

only when:<br />

a) it is a hybrid contract containing one or more embedded derivatives and the embedded<br />

derivative significantly alters the cash flows that would otherwise be generated by the contract;<br />

b) the designation at fair value through profit or loss allows better information to be provided<br />

because:<br />

it eliminates or considerably reduces an asymmetry in the valuation or in the<br />

recognition, which would otherwise result from the valuation of assets or liabilities or<br />

from recognition of the relative profits and losses on a different basis;<br />

a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or of both is managed and its<br />

performance is valued on the basis of its fair value according to a documented risk<br />

management procedure or investment strategy and the information on the group is<br />

provided internally on that basis to senior managers with strategic responsibilities.<br />

The Bank has placed existing capitalisation policies in the category “financial assets at fair<br />

value” because they are hybrid contracts containing embedded derivatives which significantly<br />

alter the contractual cash flows otherwise generated by the host contract.<br />

Units in hedge funds purchased subsequent to 1 st July 2007 are also subjected to the fair<br />

value option because they represent a portfolio of assets managed in a unified manner for<br />

which the performance is valued on the basis of its fair value according to a documented<br />

investment or risk management strategy.<br />

1.3. Recognition criteria<br />

The financial instruments “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets<br />

at fair value” are recognised at the time of settlement if they are debt securities or equity<br />

instruments or at the trade date if they are derivative contracts and they are valued at cost,<br />

intended as meaning the fair value of the instrument without considering any transaction<br />

costs or income directly attributable to the instruments themselves.<br />

1.4. Valuation criteria<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial instruments in question are measured at fair<br />

value with changes recognised in the income statement under item 80 “Net profit (loss) on<br />

trading”, for assets/liabilities held for trading and under item 110 “Net profit (loss) on financial<br />

assets and liabilities at fair value” for financial assets/liabilities at fair value. The<br />

measurement of the fair value of the assets and liabilities held in a trading portfolio is based<br />

on prices quoted on active markets or on internal valuation models which are generally used<br />

in financial practice and are described below.<br />

1.4.1. Methods of measuring fair value<br />

1.4.1.1. Securities: listed and not listed<br />

For securities listed on active markets, the measurement of fair value is based on prices<br />

quoted on the relative market (that on which the greatest volume of trading occurs) as<br />

543 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


obtained from international providers and registered on the last day of the financial year or<br />

reference period. A market is defined as an active market if the prices quoted reflect normal<br />

market transactions, are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly<br />

occurring market transactions.<br />

Hedge funds are valued on the basis of the official end of period NAV. In its absence, the last<br />

available NAV is used prudentially adjusted if external observations show evidence of lower<br />

values.<br />

For unlisted securities fair value is measured by using valuation techniques that measure the<br />

price that an instrument would have had at the valuation date in a free transaction motivated<br />

by normal market considerations. Measurement of the fair value is performed by applying<br />

methods commonly used on international markets and also internal valuation models. More<br />

specifically, for unlisted bonds, models which discount expected future cash flow to present<br />

value (using interest rates that take proper consideration of the sector that the issuer operates<br />

in and the rating class where available) and price option models are used. For equity<br />

instruments, prices based on comparable transactions, the market multiples of directly<br />

comparable companies and capital, income and mixed valuation models are used.<br />

1.4.1.2. Derivatives: listed and unlisted<br />

For listed derivatives the measurement of fair value is based on prices taken from active<br />

markets. For unlisted derivatives the fair value is measured by using models which discount<br />

future cash flows to present value and which are also weighted for the credit risk associated<br />

with the financial instrument. For derivatives traded with institutional counterparties, this<br />

risk is considered virtually nil because of compensation agreements (CSA) designed to<br />

minimise credit risk.<br />

1.4.1.3. Private Equity and Merchant Banking Interests<br />

For equity instruments not classified as held for control, but held for merchant banking and<br />

private equity activities, the measurement of fair value is performed by using methods<br />

commonly accepted in market practice. For equity instruments held in listed companies, the<br />

last available and significant price quoted in the period is used; for unlisted companies resort<br />

is made to prices inferred from recent transactions concerning assets similar to those that are<br />

being valued, market multiples of directly comparable companies or capital, income and mixed<br />

valuation models.<br />

1.5. Derecognition criteria<br />

“Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets at fair value” are<br />

derecognised in the accounts when the rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or<br />

liabilities expire or when the financial assets or liabilities are transferred with the substantial<br />

transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of the<br />

transfer of financial assets or liabilities held for trading is recognised in the income statement<br />

under item 80 “Net profit (loss) on trading”, while the result of the transfer of financial assets<br />

or liabilities at fair value is recognised under item 110 “Net profit (loss) on financial assets and<br />

liabilities at fair value”.<br />

544 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


2. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS<br />

2.1. Definition<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS) are defined as non-derivative financial assets<br />

designated on initial recognition as such or that are not classified as:<br />

(1) loans and receivables (see section below);<br />

(2) financial assets held until maturity (see section below);<br />

(3) financial assets held for trading and measured at fair value recognised in the income<br />

statement (see previous section).<br />

These financial assets are recognised within item 40 “Available-for-sale financial assets”.<br />

The Bank has classified asset-swapped bonds, securities in US dollars, bonds and funds<br />

belonging to the “strategic portfolio” and equity instruments not classified as subsidiaries,<br />

companies subject to joint control or associates not held for merchant banking and private<br />

equity activities in this category.<br />

2.2. Recognition criteria<br />

Available-for-sale financial assets are recognised initially when, and only when, the company<br />

becomes a party in the contract clauses of the instrument and that is on the date of<br />

settlement, at fair value which generally coincides with the cost of them. This value includes<br />

costs or income directly connected with the instruments themselves.<br />

The recognition of available-for-sale financial assets may result also from the reclassification<br />

out of “held-to-maturity financial assets” or, but only in rare circumstances and in any case<br />

only if the asset is no longer held for sale or repurchase in the short term, out of “financial<br />

assets held for trading”; in these cases the recognition value is the same as the fair value at<br />

the moment of reclassification.<br />

2.3. Valuation criteria<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets continue to be recognised<br />

at fair value with interest (resulting from application of the amortised cost) recognised in the<br />

income statement and changes in fair value recognised in shareholders’ equity within item 130<br />

“valuation reserves”, except for losses due to a decrease in value, until the financial asset is<br />

derecognised, at which time the profit or loss previously recognised in shareholders’ equity<br />

must be recognised in the income statement. Equity instruments for which the fair value<br />

cannot be reliably measured according to the methods described are recognised at cost.<br />

At the end of each financial year or interim reporting period, objective evidence of impaired<br />

value is assessed, which in the case of equity instruments is also held to be significant or<br />

prolonged. If there is permanent impairment, the cumulative change, including that previously<br />

recognised in equity under the aforementioned item, is recognised directly in the income<br />

statement within item 130 “net impairment losses on b) available-for-sale financial assets”.<br />

Permanent impairment is recognised when the acquisition cost (net of any repayments of<br />

principal and amortisation) of an available-for-sale financial asset exceeds its recoverable<br />

amount. Any recoveries of value, which are only possible when the causes of the original<br />

permanent impairment no longer exist are treated as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

if they relate to investments in equity instruments, with a balancing entry directly in the<br />

shareholders’ equity reserve;<br />

if they relate to investments in debt instruments, they are recognised in the income<br />

statement under item 130 “Net impairment losses on b) available-for-sale financial assets”.<br />

The amount of the recovery in value may not in any case exceed the amortised cost which, in<br />

the absence of previous value adjustments, the instrument would have had at that time.<br />

545 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The recovery value of investments in listed equity instruments is measured on the basis of the<br />

market price should the decrease observed reach such a low level that a recovery is not<br />

reasonably expected in the foreseeable future. The recoverable amount for unlisted equity<br />

instruments is measured by applying internationally accepted valuation techniques. The<br />

standard method applied is based on observations of the earnings multiples of similar<br />

companies found on the market.<br />

2.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value<br />

See the sub section on “Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and financial assets at<br />

fair value”.<br />

2.4. Derecognition criteria<br />

Available for sale financial assets are derecognised in the accounts when the contractual<br />

rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold<br />

with the substantial transfer of all the risks and benefits deriving from ownership of them. The<br />

result of the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in the income<br />

statement under item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of b) available for sale<br />

financial assets”. Upon derecognition any corresponding amount of what was previously<br />

recognised in equity under “130 valuation reserves” is written off against the income<br />

statement.<br />

3. HELD-TO-MATURITY FINANCIAL ASSETS<br />

3.1. Definition<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets (HTM) are defined as non derivative financial assets with<br />

fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that an entity intends and is able to hold to<br />

maturity. Exception is made for those:<br />

(a) held for trading and those designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit<br />

or loss (see previous section);<br />

(b) designated as available for sale (see previous section);<br />

(c) which satisfy the definition of loans (see section below).<br />

When annual and interim reports are prepared the intention and ability to hold financial<br />

assets until maturity is assessed.<br />

The assets in question are recognised under item 50 “Held-to-maturity financial assets”.<br />

3.2. Recognition criteria<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially when, and only when, the company<br />

becomes a party in the contract clauses of the instrument and that is on the date of<br />

settlement, valued at cost inclusive of any costs and income directly attributable to it. If the<br />

recognition of assets in this category is the result of the reclassification out of “available-forsale<br />

financial assets” or, but only and only in rare circumstances if the asset is no longer held<br />

for sale or repurchase in the short term, out of the “financial assets held for trading”, the fair<br />

value of the assets as measured at the time of the reclassification is taken as the new measure<br />

of the amortised cost of the assets.<br />

546 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


3.3. Valuation criteria<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets are valued at amortised cost using the criteria of the effective<br />

interest rate (see the section below “loans and receivables” for a definition). The result of the<br />

application of this method is recognised in the income statement within the item 10 “Interest<br />

and similar income”.<br />

When annual financial statements or interim reports are prepared objective evidence of the<br />

existence of an impairment of the value of the assets is assessed. If there is permanent<br />

impairment, the difference between the recognised value and the present value of expected<br />

future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate is included in the income<br />

statement under the item 130 “Net impairment losses on c) held-to-maturity financial assets”.<br />

Any recoveries of value recorded, should the cause that gave rise to the previous value<br />

adjustments no longer exist, are recognised under the same item in the income statement.<br />

3.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value<br />

The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is given for the sole purpose of information. A<br />

description of the measurement is given in the section “Financial assets and liabilities held for<br />

trading and financial assets and liabilities at fair value”. For effective hedging of currency risk<br />

or of loans, the fair value is calculated in relation to the risk that is hedged for valuation<br />

purposes.<br />

3.4. Derecognition criteria<br />

Held-to-maturity financial assets are derecognised when the rights to the cash flows from the<br />

financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all<br />

the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of the disposal of held-tomaturity<br />

financial assets is recognised in the income statement under the item 100 “Profit<br />

(loss) on the disposal or repurchase of c) held-to-maturity financial assets”.<br />

4. LOANS AND RECEIVABLES<br />

4.1. Definition<br />

Loans and receivables (L&R) are defined as non-derivative financial assets with fixed or<br />

determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The following are exceptions:<br />

(a) those which it is intended to sell immediately or in the short term, that are classified as<br />

held for trading and those that may have been designated on initial recognition as at fair<br />

value through profit or loss;<br />

(b) those designated upon initial recognition as available for sale;<br />

(c) those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, other<br />

than because of credit deterioration; in this case they are classified as available-for-sale.<br />

Loans and receivables are recognised under the items 60 “Loans and receivables to banks” and<br />

70 “Loans to customers”.<br />

The Bank includes lending to customers and banks among loans whether granted directly or<br />

acquired from third parties. Commercial lending, repurchase agreements, interest bearing<br />

postal bonds and debt instruments issued by companies in the <strong>UBI</strong> Group fall within this<br />

category.<br />

547 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


4.2. Recognition criteria<br />

Loans are initially recognised in the accounts when the company becomes part of a loan<br />

contract, which is to say when the creditor acquires the right to the payment of the sums<br />

agreed in the contract. That moment corresponds to the date on which the loan is granted.<br />

Recognition in this category may result also from the reclassification out of “available-for-sale<br />

financial assets” or, but only and only in rare circumstances if the asset is no longer held for<br />

sale or repurchase in the short term, out of “financial assets held for trading”.<br />

The value initially recognised is that of the fair value of the financial instrument which is the<br />

same as the amount granted inclusive of costs or income directly attributable to it and<br />

determinable from the outset, independently of when they are paid. The value of the initial<br />

recognition does not include all those costs that are reimbursed by the debtor counterparty or<br />

that are attributable to internal costs of an administrative character.<br />

If the recognition is the result of reclassification, the fair value of the asset recognised at the<br />

time of the reclassification is taken as the new measure of the amortised cost of the assets.<br />

For loans not granted under market conditions, the initial fair value is calculated by using<br />

special valuation techniques described below; in these circumstances the difference between<br />

the fair value that is calculated and the amount granted is included directly in the income<br />

statement under the item interest.<br />

Contango and repo agreements with the obligation or right to repurchase or resell at term are<br />

recognised in the accounts as funding or lending transactions. For transactions with a spot<br />

sale and forward repurchase, the spot cash received is recognised in the accounts as<br />

borrowings while the spot purchase transactions with forward resale are recognised as lending<br />

for the spot amount paid.<br />

4.3. Valuation criteria<br />

Loans and receivables are valued at amortised cost using the criteria of effective interest.<br />

The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the<br />

financial asset or financial liability was measured upon initial recognition net of principal<br />

repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest criterion<br />

on any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any<br />

reduction (arising from an impairment or uncollectability).<br />

The effective interest criterion is a method of calculating amortised cost of an asset or liability<br />

(or group of assets and liabilities) and of distributing the interest income or expense over its<br />

relative life. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated flow of<br />

future cash payments or receipts until the expected maturity of the financial instrument. To<br />

determine the effective interest rate, the cash flows must be estimated taking into<br />

consideration all the contractual conditions of the financial instrument (e.g. payment in<br />

advance, a purchase option or similar), but future impairments of the loan are not considered.<br />

The computation includes all fees and basis points paid or received between parties to the<br />

contract which are integral parts of the effective interest, the transaction costs and all other<br />

premiums or discounts.<br />

At each balance sheet date or when interim reports are prepared any objective evidence that a<br />

financial asset or group of financial assets has suffered impairment in value is assessed. This<br />

circumstance is repeated when it is probable that a company may not be able to collect<br />

amounts due on the basis of the original contracted conditions or, for example, in the presence<br />

of:<br />

(a) significant financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor;<br />

(b) a violation of the contract such as default or failure to pay interest or repay principal;<br />

(c) the lender, because of the economic or legal factors relating to the financial difficulties of<br />

the debtor, granting a concession to the latter which the lender would not otherwise have<br />

considered;<br />

(d) the probability of the beneficiary declaring procedures for loan restructuring;<br />

(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties;<br />

548 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


(f) available data which indicate a substantial decrease in expected future cash flows for a<br />

similar group of financial assets since the time of the initial recognition of those assets,<br />

although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the<br />

group.<br />

The valuation of non performing loans (loans which, according to Bank of Italy definitions, are<br />

non performing, impaired, restructured and past due) is performed on a case-by-case basis.<br />

The remaining loans are valued using, collective, statistical methods which group uniform<br />

classes of risk together.<br />

The methods for determining the write-downs to be made to non performing loans are based<br />

on discounting expected future cash flows for principal and interest, taking account of any<br />

guarantees attached to positions and of any advances received. The basic elements for<br />

determining the present value of cash flows are the identification of the estimated receipts, the<br />

relative maturity dates and the discount rate to apply. The entity of the loss is equal to the<br />

difference between the recognised value of the asset and the present value of expected future<br />

cash flows, discounted back at the original effective interest rate.<br />

The statistical, collective, method is also applied to exposures subject to country risk and that<br />

is loans without guarantees to residents in countries which have difficulty in servicing their<br />

debts. These loans do not include impaired exposures for which the case-by-case valuation<br />

mentioned above is applied.<br />

The valuation of performing loans (including exposures subject to country risk) relates to asset<br />

portfolios for which no objective evidence of impairment exists and which are therefore valued<br />

collectively. Percentage rates of loss calculated from historical statistics are applied to the<br />

estimated cash flows from the assets, grouped into uniform classes with similar characteristics<br />

in terms of credit risk.<br />

If a loan is subject to individual valuation and shows no objective loss of value, it is placed in a<br />

class of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and subjected to collective<br />

valuation.<br />

Permanent impairment that is found is immediately recognised in the income statement under<br />

the item 130 “Net impairment losses on a) loans” as are recoveries of part or all of the amounts<br />

previously written down. Recoveries in value are recognised where there is an improvement in<br />

credit quality sufficient to provide reasonable certainty of prompt collection of the principal<br />

and the interest according to the original conditions of the original loan contract, or in the<br />

presence of a progressive reversal of the present value calculated at the time of recognising the<br />

impairment. Where loans are valued on a collective basis, any upward value adjustments or<br />

recoveries in value are recalculated as differences in relation to each performing loan at the<br />

valuation date.<br />

4.3.1. Methods of measuring fair value<br />

The fair value of loans is measured by considering future cash flows discounted at the<br />

replacement rate or the market rated existing at the valuation date and relating to a position<br />

with the same characteristics as the loan valued.<br />

The fair value is measured for all loans for information purposes only. For loans subject to<br />

effective hedging, the fair value is calculated in relation to the risk that is hedged for valuation<br />

purposes.<br />

4.4. Derecognition criteria<br />

Loans are derecognised on the balance sheet when the rights to the cash flows from the<br />

financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the substantial transfer of all<br />

the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. Otherwise loans continue to be<br />

recognised on the balance sheet for an amount equal to the remaining involvement, even if<br />

legal title has been transferred to a third party.<br />

549 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The assets in question are derecognised on the balance sheet even when the Bank maintains<br />

the contractual right to receive cash flows from them, but when at the same time it has a<br />

contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to a third party.<br />

The profit or loss on the disposal of loans is recognised in the income statement under the<br />

item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or repurchase of a) Loans and receivables”.<br />

5. HEDGING DERIVATIVES<br />

5.1. Definition<br />

Hedging transactions are designed to neutralise potential losses on a specific item (or group of<br />

items) attributable to a determined risk, by means of the gains realised on another instrument<br />

or group of instruments if that particular risk should actually result in losses.<br />

The Bank uses the following type of hedging transactions, appropriately represented in the<br />

accounts and described below:<br />

<br />

<br />

a fair value hedge: the objective is to offset adverse changes in the fair value of the asset or<br />

liability hedged;<br />

a cash flow hedge: the objective is to hedge against the exposure to variability in expected<br />

cash flows with respect to the initial expectations.<br />

Only derivative contracts with an external counterparty are designated as hedging<br />

instruments.<br />

5.2. Recognition criteria<br />

As with all derivatives, derivative financial instruments used for hedging are initially<br />

recognised and subsequently measured at fair value and are classified in the balance sheet on<br />

the assets side under item 80 “Hedging derivatives” and on the liabilities side under item 60<br />

“Hedging derivatives”.<br />

A relationship qualifies as a hedge and is appropriately represented in the accounts if, and<br />

only if, all the following conditions are satisfied:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

at the beginning of the hedging operation the relationship is formally designated and<br />

documented, including the company’s risk management objective and strategy for<br />

undertaking the hedge. This documentation includes identification of the hedging<br />

instrument, the item or transaction hedged, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how<br />

the entity will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposures to<br />

changes in the fair value of the item hedged or in the cash flows attributable to the risk<br />

hedged;<br />

the hedging is expected to be highly effective;<br />

the planned transaction hedged, for hedging cash flows, is highly probable and presents an<br />

exposure to changes in cash flows that could have effects on the income statement;<br />

the effectiveness of the hedging can be reliably measured;<br />

the hedging is measured on an ongoing basis and is considered highly effective for all the<br />

financial years in which it was designated.<br />

5.2.1. Methods for testing effectiveness<br />

A hedge relationship is judged effective, and as such is appropriately represented in the<br />

accounts, if at its inception and during its life the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the<br />

hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are almost always completely offset by the changes<br />

in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument. This conclusion is reached when the<br />

actual result falls within a range of between 80% and 125%.<br />

550 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The effectiveness of hedging is tested at inception by means of a prospective test and when<br />

annual reports are prepared by means of a retrospective test; the outcome of the test justifies<br />

the application of hedge accounting because it demonstrates its expected effectiveness.<br />

Retrospective tests are conducted monthly on a cumulative basis where the objective is to<br />

measure the degree of effectiveness of the hedging in the reporting period and therefore to<br />

verify whether the hedging has actually been effective in the period.<br />

Derivative financial instruments that are considered hedges from a profit and loss point of<br />

view but which do not satisfy the requirements to be considered effective instruments for<br />

hedging are recognised under item 20 “Financial assets held for trading” or under item 40<br />

“Financial liabilities held for trading” and the profits and losses under the corresponding item<br />

80 “Profit (loss) on trading”.<br />

See the section “financial assets and liabilities held for trading” and “financial assets and<br />

liabilities at fair value” for a description of the methods used to calculate the fair value of<br />

derivatives.<br />

5.3. Valuation criteria<br />

5.3.1. Fair value hedging<br />

Fair value hedging is treated as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

the profit or loss resulting from measuring a hedging instrument at fair value is included in<br />

the income statement under item 90 “Profit (loss) on hedging activity”;<br />

the profit or loss on the item hedged attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the value in<br />

the accounts of the hedged item and is recognised immediately, regardless of the type of<br />

asset or liability hedged, in the income statement under the aforementioned item.<br />

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively in the following cases:<br />

1. the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised;<br />

2. the hedge no longer meets the hedge accounting criteria described above;<br />

3. the entity revokes the designation.<br />

In case 2, if the assets or liabilities hedged are valued at amortised cost, the higher or lower<br />

value resulting from valuing them at fair value as a result of the hedge becoming ineffective is<br />

recognised in the income statement, according to the effective interest rate method prevailing<br />

at the time of revocation of hedge.<br />

The methods used for measurement of the fair value of the risk hedged in the assets or<br />

liabilities hedged are described in the notes that comment on available-for-sale financial<br />

assets, loans and held-to-maturity financial assets<br />

5.3.2. Cash flow hedging<br />

When a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge of exposure to changes in expected<br />

cash flows from an asset or liability in the balance sheet or a future transaction considered<br />

highly probable, the accounting treatment of the hedge is as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

the profits or losses (from the valuation of the hedging derivative) attributable to the<br />

effective portion of the hedge are recognised in a special reserve in equity named 130<br />

“Valuation reserves”;<br />

the profits or losses (from valuation of the hedging derivative) attributable to the ineffective<br />

portion of the hedge are recognised directly in the income statement under item 90 “Profits<br />

(losses) on hedging activity”;<br />

the asset or liability hedged is valued according to the class of asset or liability to which it<br />

belongs.<br />

If a future transaction occurs which involves recognising non financial assets and liabilities,<br />

the corresponding profits or losses initially recognised under item 130 “Valuation reserves” are<br />

then transferred from that reserve and included as an initial cost of the asset or liability that is<br />

recognised. If the future hedged transaction subsequently involves recognition of a financial<br />

asset or liability, the associated profits or losses that were originally recognised under the item<br />

551 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


130 “Valuation reserves” are reclassified to the income statement in the same reporting period<br />

or periods during which the assets acquired or liabilities incurred have an effect on the income<br />

statement. If a portion of the profits or losses recognised in the valuation reserve are not<br />

considered recoverable, it is reclassified to the income statement under item 80 “Profits<br />

(losses) on trading”.<br />

In all cases other than those already described, the profits or losses initially recognised under<br />

the item “130 Valuation reserves” are transferred to the income statement to reflect the time<br />

and manner in which the future transaction is recognised in the income statement.<br />

An entity must discontinue hedge accounting prospectively in each of the following<br />

circumstances:<br />

(a) the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised (for this purpose the<br />

replacement or exchange of one hedging instrument with another hedging instrument is<br />

not a conclusion or termination if that replacement or exchange forms part of an entity’s<br />

documented hedging strategy). In this case the total profit (or loss) on the hedging<br />

instrument continues to be recognised directly in shareholders’ equity until the reporting<br />

period in which the hedge became effective and it continues to be recognised separately<br />

until the programmed hedging transaction occurs;<br />

(b) the hedge no longer satisfies the criteria for hedge accounting. In this case the total profit<br />

or loss on the hedging instrument continues to be recognised directly in shareholders’<br />

equity starting from the reporting period in which the hedge became effective and it<br />

continues to be recognised separately in equity until the programmed hedging transaction<br />

occurs;<br />

(c) it is no longer considered that the future transaction should occur, in which case any<br />

related total profit or loss on the hedging instrument recognised directly in shareholders’<br />

equity starting from the reporting period in which the hedge became effective must be<br />

recognised in profit or loss;<br />

(d) the entity revokes the designation. For hedges of a programmed transaction, total profits or<br />

losses on the hedging instrument recognised directly in shareholders’ equity starting from<br />

the reporting period in which the hedge became effective continues to be recognised<br />

separately in equity until the programmed transaction occurs or it is expected that it will<br />

no longer occur.<br />

If it is expected that the transaction will no longer occur, the total profit (or loss) that had been<br />

recognised directly in equity is transferred to the income statement.<br />

5.3.3. Hedging portfolios of assets and liabilities<br />

Hedging of portfolios of assets and liabilities (“macrohedging”) and appropriate accounting<br />

treatment is possible after first:<br />

- identifying the portfolio to be hedged and dividing it by maturity dates;<br />

- designating the risk to be hedged;<br />

- identifying the interest rate risk to be hedged;<br />

- designating the hedging instruments;<br />

- determining the effectiveness.<br />

The portfolio for which the interest rate risk is hedged may contain both assets and liabilities.<br />

This portfolio is divided on the basis of expected maturity or repricing dates of interest rates<br />

after first analysing the structure of the cash flows.<br />

Changes in the fair value of the hedged instrument are recognised in the income statement<br />

under item 90 “Profits (losses) on hedging” and in the balance sheet under item 90 “Fair value<br />

change in hedged financial assets” or under item 70 “Fair value change in hedged financial<br />

liabilities”.<br />

552 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Changes occurring in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recognised in the income<br />

statement under item 90 “Profits (losses) on hedging” and on the assets side of the balance<br />

sheet under item 80 “Hedging derivatives” or on the liabilities side under 60 “Hedging<br />

derivatives”.<br />

6. EQUITY INVESTMENTS<br />

6.1. Definition<br />

6.1.1. Subsidiaries<br />

A “subsidiary” is defined as a company over which the Parent Bank exercises control. Such a<br />

condition occurs when the latter has the power to govern, directly or indirectly the<br />

management and operational decisions of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its<br />

activities. The existence of potential immediately exercisable voting rights is assessed to<br />

determine the presence of control. Equity investments in controlled companies are valued<br />

using the cost method.<br />

6.1.2. Associates<br />

An “associate” is defined as a company in which at least 20% of the voting rights are held or<br />

over which the investing company exercises significant influence and which is neither a<br />

subsidiary nor a company subject to joint control by the investing company. Significant<br />

influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the<br />

company invested in but not to control or have joint control of it. Investments in associates are<br />

valued using the cost method.<br />

6.1.3. Companies subject to joint control<br />

A “company subject to joint control” is defined as a company governed by a contractual<br />

arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to<br />

joint control.<br />

Investments in companies subject to joint control are recognised in the accounts using the<br />

cost method.<br />

6.2. Recognition criteria<br />

Equity investments are recognised in the financial statements by applying the methods<br />

described in the preceding sections.<br />

6.3. Valuation criteria<br />

Any objective evidence that an equity investment has been subject to impairment is assessed<br />

as at each annual or interim reporting date. The recoverable amount is then calculated,<br />

considering the present value of the future cash flows which may be generated by the<br />

investment, including the final disposal value. If the recoverable amount calculated in this way<br />

is less than carrying value, the difference is recognised in the income statement under item<br />

210 “profit (loss) of equity investments”. Any future recoveries of value are also included in the<br />

item where the reasons for the original write down no longer apply.<br />

553 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


6.4. Derecognition criteria<br />

Equity investments are derecognised in the balance sheet when the contractual rights to the<br />

cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the financial assets are sold with the<br />

substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards deriving from ownership of them. The result of<br />

the disposal of investments valued using the equity method are recognised in the income<br />

statement under item 210 “Profits (losses) of equity investments”.<br />

7. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT<br />

7.1. Definition of assets for functional use<br />

“Assets for functional use” are defined as tangible assets possessed to be used for the purpose<br />

of carrying on a company’s business and where the use is planned to last longer than one<br />

year.<br />

Assets for functional use include properties rented to employees, ex employees and their heirs.<br />

7.2. Definition of investment property<br />

“Investment property” is defined as properties held in order to earn rentals or for capital<br />

appreciation. As a consequence, investment property is to be distinguished from assets held<br />

for the use of the owner because they generate cash flows that are very different from the other<br />

assets held by the Bank.<br />

Finance lease contracts are also included within tangible assets (for functional use and held<br />

for investment) even if the legal title to the assets remains with the leasing company.<br />

7.3. Recognition criteria<br />

Tangible assets for functional use and other tangible assets are initially recognised at cost<br />

(item “110 Tangible assets”), inclusive of all costs directly connected with bringing it to<br />

working condition for the use of the assets and purchase taxes and duties that are not<br />

recoverable. This value is subsequently increased to include expenses incurred from which it<br />

is expected future benefits will be obtained. The costs of ordinary maintenance are recognised<br />

in the income statement at the time at which they are incurred while extraordinary<br />

maintenance costs (improvements) from which future benefits are expected are capitalised by<br />

increasing the value of the relative asset.<br />

Improvements and expenses incurred to increase the value of leased assets from which future<br />

benefits are expected are recognised:<br />

– within the most appropriate category of item 110 “Property, plant and equipment” if<br />

they are independent and can be separately identified, whether they are third party<br />

assets held on the basis of an ordinary leasing contract or whether they are held under<br />

a financial leasing contract;<br />

– within item 110 “Property, plant and equipment”, if they are not independent and<br />

cannot be separately identified, as an increase to the type of assets concerned if held<br />

by means of a financial leasing contract or within item 150 “Other assets” if they are<br />

held under an ordinary leasing contract.<br />

The cost of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if:<br />

<br />

<br />

it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the<br />

enterprise;<br />

the cost of the asset can be reliably determined.<br />

554 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


7.4. Valuation criteria<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition, tangible assets for use in operations are recognised at cost,<br />

as defined above, net of accumulated depreciation and any permanent cumulative impairment.<br />

The depreciable amount, equal to cost less the residual value (i.e. the amount that would be<br />

normally obtained from disposal, less disposal costs, if the asset was normally in the<br />

conditions, including age, expected at the end of its useful life), should be allocated on a<br />

systematic basis over the asset's useful life by adopting the straight line method of<br />

depreciation. The useful life of an asset, which is reviewed periodically to detect any significant<br />

change in estimates compared to previous figures, is defined as:<br />

<br />

<br />

the period of time over which it is expected that the asset can be used by a company or,<br />

the quantity of products or similar units that an entity expects to obtain from the use of<br />

the asset.<br />

Since property, plant and equipment may consist of items with different useful lives, land,<br />

whether by itself or as part of the value of a building is not depreciated since it constitutes a<br />

fixed asset with an indefinite life. The value attributable to the land is deducted from the total<br />

value of a property for all buildings in proportion to the percentage of ownership. Buildings, on<br />

the other hand, are depreciated according to the criteria described above.<br />

Works of art are not depreciated because they generally increase in value over time.<br />

Depreciation of an asset starts when it is available for use and ceases when the asset is<br />

written off the accounts the accounts, which is the most recent of when it is classified as for<br />

sale and the date of elimination from the accounts. As a consequence depreciation does not<br />

stop when an asset is left idle or is no longer in use, unless the asset has already been fully<br />

depreciated.<br />

Improvements and expenses which increase the value are depreciated as follows:<br />

– if they are independent and can be separately identified, according to the presumed<br />

useful life as described above;<br />

– if they are not independent and cannot be separately identified, then if they are held<br />

under an ordinary leasing contract, over the shorter of the period in which the<br />

improvements and expenses can be used and that of the remaining life of the contract<br />

taking account of any individual renewals, or if the assets are held under a financial<br />

leasing contract, over the expected useful life of the assets concerned.<br />

The depreciation of improvements and expenses to increase the value of leased assets<br />

recognised under item 150 “Other assets” is recognised under item 190 “Other operating<br />

income (expense)”.<br />

At the end of each annual or interim reporting period the existence of indications that<br />

demonstrate the impairment of the value of an asset are assessed. The loss is determined by<br />

comparing the carrying value of the tangible asset with the lower recoverable amount. The<br />

latter is the greater of the fair value, net of any sales costs, and the relative use value intended<br />

as the present value of future cash flows generated by the asset. The loss is immediately<br />

recognised in the income statement under item 170 “Net impairment losses on property, plant<br />

and equipment”; the item also includes any future recovery in value if the causes of the<br />

original write down no longer exist.<br />

7.4.1. Definition and determination of fair value<br />

7.4.1.1. Properties<br />

The fair value is determined on the basis of the market value intended as meaning the best<br />

price at which the sale of a property might reasonably be expected to have been completed<br />

unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:<br />

– that the seller and the purchaser are independent counterparties;<br />

– the intention of the seller to sell the assets is real;<br />

555 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


– that there is a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the<br />

state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property and for the agreement of<br />

price and terms necessary to complete the sale;<br />

– that the market trend, level of values and other circumstances were, at the date of<br />

signing the preliminary contract of purchase and sale, identical to those existing at the<br />

date of valuation;<br />

– that no account is taken of bids by purchasers for whom the property has<br />

characteristics which make it “outside the market range”.<br />

The procedures adopted for determining the market value are based on the following methods:<br />

<br />

<br />

the direct comparative or market method, based on a comparison between the asset in<br />

question and other similar asset subject to sale or currently on sale on the same market or<br />

competing markets;<br />

the income method based on the present value of potential market incomes for a similar<br />

property, obtained by capitalising the income at a market rate.<br />

The above methods have been performed individually and the values obtained appropriately<br />

averaged.<br />

7.4.1.2. Determination of the value of land<br />

The method used for identifying the percentage of the market value attributable to land is<br />

based on an analysis of the location of the property, taking account of the type of construction,<br />

the state of conservation and the cost of rebuilding the entire building.<br />

7.5. Property, plant and equipment acquired through finance leases<br />

A financial lease is a contract that substantially transfers all the risks and rewards incident to<br />

ownership of an asset. Legal title may or may not be transferred at the end of the lease term.<br />

The beginning of the lease term is the date on which the lessee is authorised to exercise his<br />

right to use the asset leased and therefore corresponds to the date on which the lease is<br />

initially recognised.<br />

When the contract commences, the lessee recognises the financial leasing transactions as<br />

assets and liabilities in his balance sheets at the fair value of the asset leased or, if lower, at<br />

the present value of the minimum payments due. To determine the present value of the<br />

minimum payments due, the discount rate used is the contractual interest rate implicit in the<br />

lease, if practicable, or else the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct<br />

costs incurred by the lessee are added to the amount recognised for the asset.<br />

The minimum payments due are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction<br />

of the residual liability. The former are allocated over the lease term so as to produce a<br />

constant rate of interest on the residual liability.<br />

The financial leasing contract involves recognition of the depreciation charge for the asset<br />

leased and of the finance charges for each financial year. The depreciation policy used for<br />

assets acquired under finance leases is consistent with that adopted for owned assets. See the<br />

relative paragraph for a more detailed description.<br />

7.6. Derecognition criteria<br />

Property, plant and equipment are derecognised in the balance sheet when they are disposed<br />

of or when they are permanently retired from use and no future economic benefits are<br />

expected from their disposal. Any gains or losses resulting from the retirement or disposal of<br />

the tangible asset, calculated as the difference between the net consideration on the sale and<br />

the carrying value of the asset are recognised in the income statement under item 240 “Profit<br />

(loss) on the disposal of investments”.<br />

556 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS<br />

8.1. Definition<br />

An intangible asset is defined as an identifiable non monetary asset without physical<br />

substance that is used in carrying on a company’s business.<br />

The asset is identifiable when:<br />

<br />

<br />

it is separable, which is to say capable of being separated and sold, transferred, licensed,<br />

rented, or exchanged;<br />

it arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are<br />

transferable or separable from other rights and obligations.<br />

An asset possesses the characteristic of being controlled by the enterprise as a result of past<br />

events and the assumption that its use will cause economic benefits to flow to the enterprise.<br />

An entity has control over an asset if it has the power to obtain future economic benefits<br />

arising from the resource in question and may also limit access by others to those benefits.<br />

Future economic benefits arising from an intangible asset might include receipts from the sale<br />

of products or services, savings on costs or other benefits resulting from the use of the asset<br />

by an enterprise.<br />

An intangible asset is recognised if, and only if:<br />

(a) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will<br />

flow to the entity;<br />

(b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.<br />

The probability of future economic benefits occurring is assessed on the basis of reasonable<br />

and supportable assumptions that represent the best estimate of the economic conditions that<br />

will exist over the useful life of the asset.<br />

The degree of probability attaching to the flow of economic benefits attributable to the use of<br />

the asset is valued on the basis of the sources of information available at the time of initial<br />

recognition, giving greater weight to external sources of information.<br />

The main items that the Bank classifies as intangible assets are goodwill and third party, or<br />

internally generated software, used over several years as well as customer relationships<br />

resulting from granting property loans to private individuals.<br />

8.1.1. Intangible assets with a finite useful life<br />

A finite useful life is defined for an asset where it is possible to estimate a limit to the period<br />

over which the related economic benefits are expected to be produced.<br />

Intangible assets considered as having a finite useful life include software and customer<br />

relationships resulting from granting property loans to private individuals.<br />

8.1.2. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life<br />

An indefinite useful life is defined for an asset where it is not possible to estimate a predictable<br />

limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for a<br />

company. The attribution of an indefinite useful life to an asset does not arise from having<br />

already programmed future expenses which restore the standard level of performance of the<br />

asset over time and prolong its useful life.<br />

8.2. Recognition criteria<br />

Assets recognised under the balance sheet item 120 “Intangible assets” are stated at cost and<br />

any expenses subsequent to the initial recognition are only capitalised if they are able to<br />

557 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


generate future economic benefits and only if those expenses can be reliably determined and<br />

attributed to the assets.<br />

The cost of an intangible asset includes:<br />

<br />

<br />

the purchase price including any non recoverable taxes and duties on purchases after<br />

commercial discounts and bonuses have been deducted;<br />

any direct costs incurred in bringing the asset into use.<br />

8.3. Valuation criteria<br />

Subsequent to initial recognition intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognised at<br />

cost net of total amortisation and any losses in value that may have occurred. Amortisation is<br />

calculated on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (see definition<br />

included in the sub-section “Property, plant and equipment”) using the straight line method<br />

for all intangible assets with the exception of customer relationships resulting from granting<br />

property loans to private individuals which are amortised on the basis of the average life of the<br />

relationships or in other words of the portfolio of loans granted.<br />

Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and ceases on the date on which the<br />

asset is written off the accounts.<br />

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life (see, goodwill, as defined in the section below if<br />

positive) are recognised at cost net of any value impairment resulting from periodical reviews<br />

when tests are performed to verify the appropriateness of the carrying value of the assets (see<br />

section below). As a consequence amortisation of these assets is not calculated.<br />

No intangible assets arising from research (or from the research phase of an internal project)<br />

are recognised. Research expenses (or the research phase of an internal project) are recognised<br />

as costs at the time at which they are incurred.<br />

An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of a internal<br />

project) is recognised if, and only if the following can be demonstrated:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it becomes available for<br />

sale or use;<br />

the intention of the company to complete the intangible asset to use it or sell it;<br />

the capacity of the company to use or sell the intangible asset.<br />

At the end of each annual or interim reporting period the existence of potential impairment of<br />

the value of intangible assets is assessed. The impairment is given by the difference between<br />

the carrying value of the assets and the recoverable amount and is recognised, as are any<br />

recoveries of value, under the item 180 “Net impairment losses on intangible assets”, with the<br />

exception of impairment losses on goodwill which are recognised under item 230 “Net<br />

impairment losses on goodwill”.<br />

8.4. Goodwill<br />

Goodwill is defined as the difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of assets<br />

and liabilities acquired as part of a business combination which consists of the union of<br />

separate enterprises or businesses in a single entity required to prepare financial statements.<br />

The result of almost all business combinations consists in the fact that a sole entity, an<br />

acquirer, obtains control over one or more separate businesses of the acquiree. When an entity<br />

acquires a group of activities or net assets that do not constitute a business it allocates the<br />

cost of the group to individual assets and liabilities identified on the basis of their relative fair<br />

value at the date of acquisition.<br />

A business combination may give rise to a holding relationship between a parent company and<br />

a subsidiary in which the acquirer is the parent company and the acquiree is the subsidiary.<br />

558 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


All business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.<br />

The purchase method involves the following steps:<br />

(a) identification of the acquirer (the acquirer is the combining enterprise that obtains control<br />

of the other combining enterprises or businesses);<br />

(b) determination of the cost of the business combination;<br />

(c) on the acquisition date the cost of the business combination is allocated to the assets and<br />

liabilities and assumed contingent liabilities acquired.<br />

With the purchase method the acquirer must calculate the cost of a business combination as<br />

the sum total of:<br />

(a) the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets sold, liabilities incurred or assumed,<br />

and equity instruments issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree;<br />

(b) any costs directly attributable to the business combination.<br />

Business combination transactions performed with subsidiaries undertakings or with<br />

companies belonging to the same group are recognised in the accounts on the basis of the<br />

significant economic substance of the transactions.<br />

In application of that principle, the goodwill arising from those transactions is recognised:<br />

(a) within item 120 on the assets side of the balance sheet if significant economic substance<br />

is found;<br />

(b) as a deduction from shareholders’ equity if it is not found.<br />

8.4.1. Allocation of the cost of a business combination to the assets and liabilities and<br />

assumed contingent assets and liabilities.<br />

The acquirer:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

recognises the goodwill acquired in a business combination as assets;<br />

measures that goodwill at its cost to the extent that it is the excess of the cost of the<br />

business combination over the acquirer's share of interest in the net fair values of the<br />

acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.<br />

Goodwill acquired in a business combination represents a payment made by the acquirer in<br />

the expectation of receiving economic future benefits from the asset which cannot be identified<br />

individually and recognised separately.<br />

After initial recognition, the acquirer values the goodwill acquired in a business combination<br />

at the relative cost net of cumulative impairment.<br />

The goodwill acquired in a business combination must not be amortised. The acquirer tests<br />

the asset for impairment annually or more frequently if specific events or changed<br />

circumstances indicate that it may have suffered a reduction in value, according to the relative<br />

accounting standard.<br />

The standard states that an asset (including goodwill) has suffered value impairment when the<br />

value recognised in the accounts exceeds the recoverable amount understood as the greater of<br />

the fair value, net of any sales expenses and its value in use, defined by section 6 of IAS 36.<br />

In order to test for impairment, goodwill must be allocated to cash generating units or to<br />

groups of cash generating units, in observance of the maximum aggregation limit which<br />

cannot exceed the operating segment identified in accordance with IFRS 8.<br />

8.4.2. Negative goodwill<br />

If the acquirer’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent<br />

liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination the acquirer:<br />

(a)<br />

reviews the identification and measurement of the identifiable assets, liabilities and<br />

contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the determination of the cost of the business<br />

combination;<br />

559 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


(b)<br />

immediately recognises any excess existing after the new measurement in the income<br />

statement.<br />

8.5. Derecognition criteria<br />

Intangible assets are derecognised in the balance sheet following disposal or when no future<br />

economic benefit is expected from their use or disposal.<br />

9. AMOUNTS PAYABLE, SECURITIES ISSUED (AND SUBORDINATED<br />

LIABILITIES)<br />

The various forms of interbank and customer funding are recognised within the balance sheet<br />

items 10 “Due to banks”, 20 “Due to customers” and 30 “Debt securities in issue”. These items<br />

also include liabilities recognised by a lessee in financial leasing operations.<br />

9.1. Recognition criteria<br />

The liabilities in question are recognised in the balance sheet at the time when the funding is<br />

received or when the debt securities are issued. The amount recognised is the fair value<br />

inclusive of any additional costs/income that are directly attributable to the transaction and<br />

determinable from the outset regardless of when they are paid. The value of the initial<br />

recognition does not include all those costs that are reimbursed by the creditor counterparty<br />

or that are attributable to internal costs of an administrative character.<br />

9.2. Valuation criteria<br />

After initial recognition financial liabilities are valued at amortised cost using the effective<br />

interest method as defined in previous paragraphs.<br />

9.3. Derecognition criteria<br />

Financial liabilities are derecognised in the balance sheet when they expire or are<br />

extinguished.<br />

The repurchase of own securities issued results in derecognition of the securities with the<br />

consequent redefinition of the liability for debt securities issued. Any difference between the<br />

repurchase value of the own securities and the corresponding carrying value of the liabilities is<br />

recognised in the income statement under the item 100 “Profit (loss) on the disposal or<br />

repurchase of d) financial liabilities”. Any subsequent re-issue of the securities previously<br />

subject to derecognition in the accounts constitutes a new issue for accounting purposes with<br />

the consequent recognition at the new issue price without any effect in the income statement.<br />

10. TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES<br />

Tax assets and liabilities are stated in the balance sheet under the items 130 “Tax assets” and<br />

80 “Tax liabilities”.<br />

10.1. Current tax assets and liabilities<br />

560 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Current tax for the current and prior periods is recognised as a liability to the extent that it<br />

has not yet been settled; any excess compared to the amount due is recognised as an asset.<br />

Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior years, are measured at the amount<br />

expected to be paid to/recovered from taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws in<br />

force.<br />

Current tax assets and liabilities are derecognised in the accounts in the year in which the<br />

assets are realised or the liabilities are extinguished.<br />

10.2. Deferred tax assets and liabilities<br />

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences unless the deferred<br />

tax liability arises from:<br />

<br />

<br />

goodwill for which amortisation is not deductible for tax purposes or<br />

the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction which:<br />

− is not a business combination and<br />

− at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor the taxable profit.<br />

Deferred tax assets are not calculated for higher values of assets for which the tax regime has<br />

been suspended relating to equity investments and to reserves for which the tax regime has<br />

been suspended because it is considered there are no reasonable grounds to assume they will<br />

be taxed in future.<br />

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised within the balance sheet item 80 “Tax liabilities b)<br />

deferred”.<br />

A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences if it is probable that<br />

a taxable income will be used against which it will be possible to use the deductible temporary<br />

difference, unless the deferred tax asset arises from:<br />

<br />

<br />

negative goodwill which is treated as deferred income;<br />

the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which:<br />

− is not a business combination and<br />

− affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recognised within the balance sheet item 130 “Tax assets b) deferred”.<br />

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are subject to constant monitoring and are<br />

valued using the tax rates that it is expected will apply in the period in which the tax asset will<br />

be realised or the tax liability will be extinguished on the basis of the tax regulations<br />

established by laws currently in force<br />

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are derecognised in the accounts in the year in<br />

which<br />

the temporary difference which gave rise to them becomes payable with regard to deferred<br />

tax liabilities or deductible with regard to deferred tax assets;<br />

the temporary difference which gave rise to them is no longer valid for tax purposes.<br />

Deferred tax assets and deferred liabilities must not normally be discounted to present values<br />

nor offset one against the other<br />

561 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


11. NON CURRENT ASSETS AND DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE –<br />

LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH DISPOSAL GROUPS HELD FOR SALE<br />

Non current assets and liabilities and groups of non current assets and liabilities for which it<br />

is presumed that the carrying value will recovered by selling them rather than by continued<br />

use are classified respectively under items 150 “Non current assets and disposal groups held<br />

for sale” and 90 “Liabilities associated with assets held for sale”.<br />

In order to be classified within these items the assets or liabilities (or disposal groups) must be<br />

immediately available for sale and there must be active, concrete programmes to sell the<br />

assets or liabilities in the short term.<br />

These assets or liabilities are valued at the lower of the carrying value and their fair value net<br />

of disposal costs.<br />

Profits and losses attributable to groups of assets or liabilities held for sale are recognised in<br />

the income statement under item 280 “Profit (loss) after tax of non current assets and groups<br />

of assets held for disposal”.<br />

Profits and losses attributable to individual assets held for disposal are recognised in the<br />

income statement under the most appropriate item.<br />

12. PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES AND CHARGES<br />

12.1. Definition<br />

A provision is defined as a liability of uncertain timing or amount.<br />

A contingent liability, however, is defined as:<br />

a possible obligation, the result of past events, the existence of which will only be<br />

confirmed by the occurrence or (non occurrence) of future events that are not totally under<br />

the control of the enterprise;<br />

a present obligation that is the result of past events, but which is not recognised in the<br />

accounts because:<br />

− it is improbable that financial resources will be needed to settle the obligation;<br />

− the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.<br />

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the accounts, but are only reported, unless they are<br />

considered a remote possibility.<br />

12.2. Recognition criteria and valuation<br />

A provision is recognised if and only if:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

there is a present obligation (legal or implicit) that is the result of a past event and<br />

it is probable that the use of resources suitable for producing economic benefits will be<br />

required to fulfil the obligation and<br />

a reliable estimate can be made of the amount arising from fulfilment of the obligation.<br />

The amount recognised as a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required<br />

to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date and reflects the risks and<br />

uncertainties that inevitably characterise a number of facts and circumstances. The amount of<br />

a provision is measured by the present value of the expenditure that it is assumed will be<br />

necessary to settle the obligation where the effect of the present value is a substantial aspect.<br />

Future events that might affect the amount required to settle the obligation are only taken into<br />

consideration if there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur.<br />

Provisions made for liabilities and charges include those for the risk attaching to any existing<br />

tax litigation.<br />

562 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


12.3. Derecognition criteria<br />

The provision is reversed when it becomes improbable that the use of resources suitable for<br />

producing economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.<br />

13. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS<br />

13.1. Definition<br />

A foreign currency is a currency other than the functional currency of the entity, which is the<br />

currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates.<br />

13.2. Recognition criteria<br />

A foreign currency transaction is recorded at the time of initial recognition in the functional<br />

currency applying the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign<br />

currency ruling on the date of the transaction.<br />

13.3. Valuation criteria<br />

At each balance sheet date:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

foreign currency monetary amounts 21 are translated using the closing rate;<br />

non-monetary items 22 carried at historical cost in foreign currency are translated using<br />

the exchange rate at the date of the transaction;<br />

non-monetary items carried at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the<br />

exchange rates that existed on the dates when the fair values were determined.<br />

Exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or from the translation of<br />

monetary items at rates different from those at which they were translated when initially<br />

recognised during the year or in previous financial statements are recognised in the income<br />

statement for the year in which they originated.<br />

Exchange rate differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of a net investment in<br />

a foreign operation of an entity that prepares financial statements are recognised in the<br />

income statement of the individual company financial statements of the entity that prepares<br />

the financial statements or the individual company financial statements of the foreign<br />

operation.<br />

When a profit or loss on a non monetary item is recognised directly in equity, each change in<br />

that profit or loss is also recognised directly in equity. However, when a profit or loss on a non<br />

monetary item is recognised in the income statement each change in that profit or loss is<br />

recognised in the income statement.<br />

21 “Monetary” items are defined as relating to determined sums in foreign currency, which is to say to assets and<br />

liabilities which must be received or paid for a determined amount in foreign currency. The defining characteristic of a<br />

monetary item is the right to receive or an obligation to pay a set or calculable number of foreign currency units.<br />

22 See the note on “monetary” items for the contrary.<br />

563 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


14. OTHER INFORMATION<br />

OWN SHARES<br />

Own shares if present in portfolio are deducted from shareholders’ equity. No profit or loss<br />

arising from the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of own shares is recognised in the<br />

income statement. The differences between the purchase and sale price arising from these<br />

transactions are recorded in equity reserves.<br />

Provisions for guarantees granted and commitments<br />

Provisions made on a cases by case and collective basis to estimate possible payments to be<br />

made connected with the assumption of credit risks attaching to guarantees granted and<br />

commitments assumed are calculated by applying the same criteria as that reported for loans.<br />

These provisions are recognised within the item 100 “Other liabilities” with the balancing entry<br />

within the item in the income statement 130d “Net impairment losses on: other financial<br />

transactions”.<br />

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS<br />

Definition<br />

Employee benefits are defined as all forms of consideration given by an enterprise in exchange<br />

for services rendered by employees. Employee benefits can be classified as follows:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

short-term employee benefits (not including benefits due to employees for severance<br />

payments and benefits paid in the form of equity instruments) due entirely within 12<br />

months after the service is rendered by employees;<br />

post-employment benefits due after the contract of employment has terminated;<br />

post-employment benefit plans subsequent to the termination of the employment contract<br />

and that is agreements whereby the enterprise provides benefits subsequent to the<br />

termination of the employment contract;<br />

long term benefits, other than the previous, due entirely within the twelve months<br />

subsequent to the end of the financial year in which employee rendered the relative service.<br />

Severance payments<br />

Recognition criteria<br />

Severance payments recognised in the accounts are considered a defined benefit plan and as<br />

such require the amount of the obligation to be determined on an actuarial basis and to be<br />

discounted to present values because the debt may be extinguished a long time after the<br />

employees have rendered the relative service.<br />

The amount is accounted for as a liability amounting to:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

(d)<br />

the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date;<br />

plus any actuarial gains (less any actuarial losses) recognised in a separate reserve in<br />

shareholders’ equity;<br />

less any pension costs relating to past service rendered not yet recognised;<br />

less the fair value at the balance sheet date of any assets at the service of the plan.<br />

Valuation criteria<br />

As concerns the accounting treatment for actuarial gains/losses, the Bank has opted for direct<br />

recognition of these items within valuation reserves in shareholders’ equity.<br />

564 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


“Actuarial gains/losses” comprise adjustments arising from the reformulation of previous<br />

actuarial assumptions as a result of actual experience or from changes in the actuarial<br />

assumptions themselves.<br />

The “Projected Unit Credit Method” is used to calculate the present value. This considers each<br />

single period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of severance payment and therefore<br />

measures each unit separately to arrive at the final obligation. This additional unit is obtained<br />

by dividing the total expected service by the number of years that have passed from the time<br />

service commenced until the expected payment date. Application of the method involves<br />

making projections of future payments based on historical analysis of statistics and of the<br />

demographic curve and discounting these flows on the basis of market interest rates. The rate<br />

used for discounting to present value is calculated as the average of the swap, bid and ask<br />

rates at the valuation date appropriately interpolated for intermediate maturity dates.<br />

SEGMENT <strong>REPORT</strong>ING<br />

Segment reporting is defined as the manner in which financial information on an enterprise is<br />

reported by segment.<br />

No segment reporting is given in this document because the separate company Annual Report<br />

for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is published together with the consolidated annual report of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

Group which gives that information for the Group as a whole.<br />

REVENUES<br />

Definition<br />

Revenues are the gross inflow of economic benefits resulting from business arising from the<br />

ordinary operating activities of an enterprise when these inflows create an increase in equity<br />

other than an increase resulting from payments made by shareholders.<br />

Recognition criteria<br />

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or due and are<br />

recognised in the accounts when they can be reliably estimated.<br />

The result of the rendering of services can be reliably estimated when the following conditions<br />

are met:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;<br />

it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the transaction will flow to the<br />

company;<br />

the stage of completion of the operation at the balance sheet date can be measured<br />

reliably;<br />

the costs incurred, or to be incurred, to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.<br />

Revenue recognised in return for services rendered is recognised by reference to the stage of<br />

completion of the transaction.<br />

Revenue is only recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the<br />

transaction will be enjoyed by the company. Nevertheless when the recoverability of an<br />

amount already included within revenues is uncertain, the amount not recoverable or the<br />

amount for which recovery is no longer probable is recognised as a cost instead of adjusting<br />

the revenue originally recognised.<br />

Revenues arising from the use by third parties of the company’s assets which generate interest<br />

or dividends are recognised when:<br />

<br />

<br />

it is probable that the economic benefits arising from the transaction will be received by the<br />

enterprise;<br />

the amount of the revenue can be reliably measured.<br />

565 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that takes into account the effective yield of the<br />

asset. In detail:<br />

interest income includes the amortisation of any discounts, premiums or other differences<br />

between the initial carrying value for a security and its value at maturity.<br />

arrears of interest that are considered recoverable are recognised within the item 10<br />

“Interest income and similar”, but only the part considered recoverable.<br />

Dividends are recognised when shareholders acquire the right to receive payment.<br />

Expenses or revenues resulting from the sale or purchase of financial instruments, determined<br />

by the difference between the amount paid or received for the transaction and the fair value of<br />

the instrument are recognised in the income statement on initial recognition of the financial<br />

instrument when the fair value is determined:<br />

by making reference to current and observable market transactions in the same<br />

instrument;<br />

by using valuation techniques which use, as variables, only data from observable<br />

markets.<br />

EXPENSES<br />

Expenses are recognised in the accounts at the time at which they are incurred while following<br />

the criteria of matching costs to revenues that result directly and jointly from the same<br />

transactions or events. Expenses that cannot be associated with revenues are recognised<br />

immediately in the income statement.<br />

Expenses directly attributable to financial instruments valued at amortised cost and<br />

determinable from the outset, regardless of the time at which they are settled, flow to the<br />

income statement by applying the effective interest rate, a definition of which is given in the<br />

section “loans”.<br />

Permanent impairment of value is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it<br />

is detected.<br />

Impaired assets consisted of a bond issued by Lehman Brothers for a nominal amount of 4<br />

million euro for which the fair value amounted to 8,625% of the nominal value. The relative<br />

loss is stated within item 80 – Net profit (loss) from trading – amounting to 3,5 million euro<br />

recognised in 2008. The further write-down with respect to the nominal amount (0,3 million<br />

euro) was performed in prior years.<br />

The securities classified as assets transferred and not derecognised relate to the value of<br />

securities pledged in repurchase agreement funding transactions. These securities consisted<br />

exclusively of securities issued by the Italian government.<br />

The write-down of debt securities relates to the security UBS Fast Jersey 08/15 ZC. Following<br />

acknowledgment of objective evidence of impairment of the security due to the fall in its fair value,<br />

the entire cumulative reduction in value with respect to its cost of purchase was charged to the<br />

income statement. The total write-down amounted to 6,3 million euro, consisting of 3,2 million<br />

euro relating to 2008 and 3,1 million euro as a result of the transfer to the income statement of<br />

the write-downs recognised in equity in previous years.<br />

The details are given below of write-downs of equity instruments for which a significant and/or<br />

prolonged reduction in the fair value occurred with respect to the purchase value.<br />

The securities classified as assets transferred and not derecognised relate to the value of<br />

securities pledged in repurchase agreement funding transactions. These securities are all listed on<br />

regulated markets and are mainly issued by the Italian government. The difference between the<br />

carrying amount and the relative fair value, amounting to 77 million euro, is attributable<br />

principally to three positions including the security Goldman Sachs 05/20 TV EUR (nominal<br />

amount 200 million euro) which was affected more significantly by negative trends in respect of<br />

counterparty risk and recorded a fair value that was 54,6 million euro less than the carrying<br />

value.<br />

The main increases in value recorded in 2008 include that for <strong>Banca</strong> Regionale Europea<br />

amounting to 136,9 million euro, which occurred following the exercise of an option, together<br />

with the following increases in capital:<br />

- SBS Leasing amounting to 58,8 million euro;<br />

- Aviva Assicurazioni Vita amounting to 59 million euro;<br />

- Lombarda Vita amounting to 24,9 million euro;<br />

- <strong>UBI</strong> Leasing Spa amounting to 24,7 million euro;<br />

- Aviva Vita amounting to 10 million euro.<br />

the main sales transactions related to:<br />

- <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR amounting to 27,9 million euro.<br />

- <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi amounting to 12,5 million euro.<br />

Other increases and decreases include<br />

which occurred in 2008.<br />

amounts recognised against merger transactions<br />

The carrying amounts of equity investments were subjected to impairment testing for possible<br />

reductions in value. These tests involved verifying that the carrying amount recognised for<br />

each single investment was not greater than the higher of the amount resulting from<br />

discounting future cash flows to present values, inclusive of the final disposal value of the<br />

investment, attributable to each individual interest held and the relative fair value, after sales<br />

costs, as determined in relation to the value of similar companies or, alternatively, on the<br />

basis of parameters observed for comparable transactions. Details of the methods employed<br />

for estimating future cash flows are given in the notes to the consolidated financial<br />

statements, in asset section 13.3.<br />

The impairment tests, performed with the methodological assistance of an external appraiser<br />

of high standing, confirmed that the recoverable values of the investments were higher than<br />

the respective carrying amounts, except for the interest held in <strong>UBI</strong> Centrosystem Spa for<br />

which the carrying amount was written down by 3,6 million euro, due to losses in value<br />

considered permanent.<br />

corresponding to approximately 7,0% of the voting share capital at a price of 173,1 million<br />

euro, no further commitments exist with regard to that company.<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Popolare Commercio e Industria/<strong>Banca</strong> Carime – bank assurance agreement with<br />

the Aviva Group: this agreement between <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and Aviva involves two call options<br />

granted to <strong>UBI</strong> on equity investments in banks (BPCI and Carime) for which the trigger events<br />

agreement or the exclusive distribution condition. If <strong>UBI</strong> fails to exercise the call options, Aviva<br />

will have the right from 30 th September 2016 to exercise a put option on the same equity<br />

investments at a price equal to the fair value.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica: on 18 th January 2008 the renegotiation of the agreements with the Prudential<br />

Financial Inc. (PFI) was positively concluded concerning the partnership in the assets under<br />

management sector involving the <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR joint venture. The agreements reached<br />

Commitments connected with the possible payment of further tranches of the price<br />

By You Spa: the agreements signed in 2006 involve some increases to the price, linked to the<br />

achievement of predetermined volumes of mortgage loans to be granted by 30 th September<br />

2009. The total theoretical purchase price amounts to 33,5 million euro on the achievement of<br />

determined objectives. As at 31 st December 2008, 26,1 million euro had been paid, to which<br />

an amount of 6,6 million euro was added, estimated on the basis of forecasts of volumes of<br />

mortgages that it is expected will be granted by 30 th September 2009.<br />

As at 31 st December 2008 the investment was recognised with a carrying amount of 3,6<br />

million euro, after the identification of a finite life intangible asset amounting to 29,1 million<br />

euro, in respect of the higher income generated by the subsidiary <strong>Banca</strong> 24-7 as a result of the<br />

commercial agreement currently existing with By You (see the comments at the foot of Table<br />

Recapitalisation commitments<br />

Aviva Vita: following a decision made by the Board of Directors of Aviva Vita on 19 th January<br />

2009, on 5 th February 2009 an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Aviva Vita S.p.A. (50%<br />

held by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and by a partner of the Group in the banc assurance life insurance sector)<br />

was held which approved an increase in the share capital of the company for a total of 40<br />

million euro in order to strengthen the margin of solvency of the company.<br />

The increase in the share capital will be performed in two tranches of 20 million euro each (the<br />

first was paid at the time of the shareholders meeting and the second may be called by the end<br />

of July 2010 by the Board of Directors of Aviva Vita). The pro-rata amount to be paid by <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> totals 20 million euro (10 million euro for each tranche).<br />

10.6 Commitments relating to equity investments in companies subject to significant<br />

influence<br />

Commitments relating to the possible exercise of options<br />

Lombarda Vita S.p.A.: put/call options on the investment in Lombarda Vita form part of the<br />

banc assurance agreement with Cattolica Assicurazioni. The call option is exercisable by <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> at its discretion, following the approval of the 2010 Annual Report of Lombarda Vita.<br />

The put options can be exercised if determined events occur (withdrawal from the<br />

shareholders agreement and sale to third parties) by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and/or Cattolica<br />

Assicurazioni.<br />

Lombarda China Fund Management Company: the partnership agreement signed between<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and Goudu Securities <strong>Banca</strong> Ltd in the asset management sector, focused on the<br />

Chinese market, involves a series of intersecting put/call options which can be exercised if<br />

determined trigger events occur concerning the respective investment held in Lombarda China<br />

Fund Management.<br />

Recapitalisation commitments<br />

Lombarda Vita Spa: on 19 th March 2009, the date on which the draft annual report of<br />

Lombarda Vita Spa was approved, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> made a payment of 34,93 million euro to<br />

increase the share capital. That recapitalisation for a total of 70 million euro has the dual<br />

purpose of restoring the margin of solvency and replenishing losses which exceed one third of<br />

the share capital. The statutory financial statements of Lombarda Vita report a loss of 104,5<br />

million euro due primarily to write-downs relating to equity instruments and bonds used to<br />

cover technical requirements. The financial statements of Lombarda Vita prepared according<br />

to international accounting standards reported a loss of approximately 13 million euro.<br />

Non current assets and disposal groups held for sale<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> for the sale of 9,8% at a price of approximately 1,83 million euro (amounting to 36<br />

euro per share). At the same time, in order to acquire full control over Polis Fondi SGR Spa,<br />

Sopaf acquired the equal interests of 9,8% each held by Banco Popolare, EM.RO., <strong>Banca</strong><br />

Popolare di Sondrio and <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Vicenza and the 2% interest held by Unione<br />

Fiduciaria. The effectiveness of the operation is subject to obtaining the necessary<br />

authorisations from the competent authorities for the purchase of control of the company and<br />

for amendments to the regulations of the Polis fund by the deadline of 30 th June 2009.<br />

Intangible assets include an amount of 29,1 million euro (stated within other increases), which<br />

relates to the identification within the amount of the interest acquired in the company By You<br />

of the intangible assets consisting of the value of the benefits accruing from relationships<br />

established with customers. The useful life was defined as lasting ten years starting from 31 st<br />

December 2008 with a relative annual amortisation charge of 2,9 million euro.<br />

The decrease in goodwill is the result of the elimination of goodwill in relation to the disposal<br />

of part of the interest held in <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR, while the write-down of 247 thousand euro<br />

is due to the loss in value of software no longer used following the centralisation of Group IT<br />

activities in the consortium company <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi.<br />

12.3 Other information<br />

Goodwill amounting to 569,7 million euro was recognised following the merger of the former<br />

Banche Popolari Unite Group and the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese Group which<br />

occurred in 2007 (effective 1 st April 2007). That transaction was recognised in accordance with<br />

accounting standard IFRS 3, in application of the purchase method, according to which the<br />

acquirer (BPU) allocated the cost of the transaction at the fair value of the assets and liabilities<br />

of the acquired company (BLP), recognising what remained after the allocation within the item<br />

“goodwill”. More specifically that goodwill relates to the cash generating units of the former<br />

BPU Group which benefited from the synergies created by the business combination as<br />

follows:<br />

Company<br />

thousands of euro<br />

Centrobanca Spa 18.602<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> 24-7 Spa 55.032<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica 8.759<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Esaleasing 18.501<br />

BPU Assicurazione Danni 59.929<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo Spa 191.104<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Popolare Commercio Industria Spa 128.635<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Ancona Spa 88.496<br />

Total 569.058<br />

In application of section 90 of IAS 36, the goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing its<br />

carrying value with the relative recoverable value. The impairment test was performed with the<br />

methodological assistance of an external appraiser of high standing. The value measurement<br />

used to calculate the recoverable amount of the business units (or groups of units) to which<br />

goodwill was allocated was that of their value in use or the fair value if the value in use was<br />

lower than the carrying amount. The value in use was estimated on the basis of pure income<br />

criteria using the same parameters and methods reported in the notes to the consolidated<br />

financial statements in section 13 Intangible assets – Item 130, which may be consulted ( 23 ).<br />

( 23 ) More specifically the notes to the consolidated financial statements may be consulted for:<br />

i. the methods used to estimate the future cash flows of the CGUs mentioned to which<br />

goodwill was allocated;<br />

ii. the discount rate used for the valuation calculated on the basis of a capital asset<br />

pricing model;<br />

iii.<br />

iv.<br />

the growth rate used in the terminal value,<br />

a sensitivity analysis of the result of the impairment test with respect to the basic<br />

assumptions affecting the value.<br />

599 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The results of the impairment tests were positive because the recoverable amounts were<br />

greater than the relative carrying amounts, which was also a consequence of the achievement<br />

of the synergies forecast in the Business Plan in 2008.<br />

Deferred tax assets are recorded in the accounts on the basis of the probability of there being<br />

sufficient future taxable income and also taking into account the consolidated tax regime<br />

adopted in accordance with articles 117 et seq of Presidential Decree No. 917/86. The<br />

recognition was made on the basis of the tax legislation in force.<br />

No deferred tax assets were recognised for write downs of equity investments which satisfied<br />

the requirements for participation exemption.<br />

The rates used for calculating deferred tax assets for IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local<br />

production tax) purposes are 27,50% and 4,82%, pursuant to Law No. 244/2007 (the 2008<br />

Finance Act).<br />

The initial balance is the amount for deferred tax assets created up until 2007 with the<br />

balancing entry in the income statement.<br />

Deferred tax assets recognised during the year amounted to 194.049 thousand euro and<br />

consisted of: 183.919 thousand euro from amortisation of goodwill deductible over the next<br />

nine years; 1.936 thousand euro from non deductible allocations to provisions; 1.512<br />

thousand euro from expenses deductible in the subsequent year; 1.207 thousand euro from<br />

the write-down of loans to banks and customers and of guarantees issued; 3.663 thousand<br />

euro from non deductible depreciation and amortisation; 42 thousand euro from the increase<br />

in the debt relating to health insurance; 117 thousand euro from costs relating to the increase<br />

in the mathematical reserve of the pension fund and 140 thousand euro from other costs.<br />

There were also adjustments to deferred tax assets not recognised in prior years amounting to<br />

1.513 thousand euro consisting of 1.422 thousand euro for end-of-period recognition of higher<br />

provisions on tangible assets for 2007 and of 91 thousand euro for adjustments to other<br />

smaller items.<br />

The other increases amounted to 167.547 thousand euro and consisted of prepaid IRES<br />

(corporation tax), relating to tax losses transferred under the tax consolidation (see article 117<br />

et seq of Presidential Decree No. 917/86), which the Bank opted for as the consolidating<br />

company together with other Group member companies.<br />

The sum from merger transactions, amounting to 21 thousand euro, consists of the balance<br />

brought forward for the deferred tax assets existing as at 31 st December 2007 in the accounts<br />

of the merged company Mercati Finanziari Sim Spa.<br />

Deferred tax assets derecognised during the year amounted to 14.212 thousand euro and<br />

603 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


consisted of: 2.470 thousand euro from the amount for the year relating to long term<br />

expenses; 458 thousand euro from revaluations of loans to banks and guarantees issued; 552<br />

thousand euro from adjustments to residual securities; 8.650 thousand euro from the use of<br />

provisions taxed in prior years; 130 thousand euro from recoveries resulting from pension<br />

fund payments; 45 thousand euro from the revaluation on a straight line basis of write-downs<br />

on loans; 148 thousand euro from entertainment expenses; 78 thousand euro from the<br />

correction of the prior misalignment existing on the staff severance provision; 115 thousand<br />

euro from the currency effect on interests in the participation exemption regime; 1.327<br />

thousand euro from the valuation of hedging derivatives and the relative items hedged; 239<br />

thousand euro from other assets maturing during 2008.<br />

The other decreases amounting to 167.547 thousand euro recognised against current tax<br />

liabilities are for the derecognition of deferred tax assets of the same amount entered under<br />

other increases as a result of the transfer of the tax loss to the fiscal consolidation as already<br />

reported.<br />

Deferred taxes were recognised on the basis of temporary differences between the financial<br />

accounting value of an asset or liability and its value for tax purposes. The recognition was<br />

made on the basis of the tax legislation in force.<br />

As concerns revaluations of equity investments which satisfied the requirements for equity<br />

exemption, deferred taxes were recognised on the 5% taxable portion.<br />

No deferred taxes were recorded on reserves on which taxation is suspended, because no<br />

events occurred to remove the tax exemption regime.<br />

The rates used for calculating deferred taxes for IRES (corporation tax) and IRAP (local<br />

production tax) purposes are 27,50% and 4,82% pursuant to Law No. 244/2007 (the 2008<br />

Finance Act).<br />

The initial balance is the amount for “liabilities for deferred taxes” recognised in the<br />

cumulative provision until 2007 with the balancing entry in the income statement.<br />

Deferred taxes recognised during the year amounted to 15.411 thousand euro. They included<br />

13.845 thousand euro attributable to depreciation on tangible assets, 1.240 thousand euro<br />

attributable to charging merger expenses as part of the purchase price allocation in the<br />

previous year, 272 thousand euro attributable to the valuation of hedging derivatives and the<br />

relative items hedged and 54 thousand euro attributable to other smaller items.<br />

604 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Deferred taxes derecognised during the year amounted to 35.671 thousand euro and consisted<br />

of: 20.382 thousand euro from impairment of AFS equity investments revalued in prior years;<br />

130 thousand euro from instalments on capital gains realised in prior years; 2.556 thousand<br />

euro from adjustments to amounts remaining on securities; 1.253 thousand euro from the<br />

currency effect on interests in the participation exemption regime; 23 thousand euro from the<br />

use of the bad debt provision deducted off-balance sheet in prior years; 5.383 thousand euro<br />

from the valuation of hedging derivatives and the relative items hedged; 92 thousand euro<br />

from the return to taxation on a straight line basis for IRAP (local production tax) purposes of<br />

off-balance sheet deductions on tangible assets; 42 thousand euro from the taxable portion of<br />

the revaluation of interests in participation exemption regime; 211 thousand euro from the<br />

decrease in the debt for the “income support fund”.<br />

equipment and the staff severance provision.<br />

Table obtained from appropriate smoothing of historical data for the Group in<br />

recent years, also taking account of redundancies forecast under the<br />

The probability of advance payments, calculated on the basis of historical data<br />

available provision.<br />

Inflation rate Long term forecasts of the scenario for inflation led to the use of a rate of 2%.<br />

Present value discount rate The euro swap yield curve as at 31 st December 2008 was used. This is<br />

because the rates used not only possess the characteristics of prudence<br />

always required for actuarial valuations, but they are also those which comply<br />

most closely with the last part of section 78 of IAS 19.<br />

On the other hand the turbulence on financial markets in the months<br />

immediately preceding the valuation date which still persists, led to both a<br />

significant compression in euro swap rates and to an equally significant<br />

increase in the risk of default for government and corporate securities.<br />

In consideration of the above it was considered that the sum of the euro swap<br />

curve, appropriately “bootstrapped”, and the credit spread curve,<br />

“Cash_Govt_of_Italy_31122008” (which represents a curve of implicit credit<br />

spreads obtained from quotations of benchmark Italian government<br />

securities), would constitute the best interpretation of present value<br />

discounting according to IAS 39 for the valuation as at 31 st December 2008.<br />

The liabilities governed by IAS 37, characterised by the absence of certainty over the timing or<br />

the amount of future expense required to settle presumed liabilities, can be classified as being<br />

of two types:<br />

<br />

<br />

probable liabilities;<br />

contingent liabilities (possible or remote).<br />

The correct identification of the nature of liabilities is of fundamental importance because it<br />

determines whether or not the risk deriving from an obligation must be recognised in the<br />

financial statements<br />

The recognition of a provision for liabilities and charges in the financial statements represents<br />

a probable liability of uncertain 24 timing or amount and the amount recognised in the<br />

accounts represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation<br />

existing at the balance sheet date and reflects the risks and uncertainties that inevitably<br />

characterise a number of different facts and circumstances<br />

The amount of a provision is measured by the present value of the expenditure that it is<br />

assumed will be necessary to settle the obligation where the effect of the present value is<br />

significant.<br />

Future events that might affect the amount required to settle the obligation are only taken into<br />

consideration if there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur.<br />

The measurement of provisions is periodically reviewed to verify that they are reasonable.<br />

The general and theoretical legal parameters which the govern the process of determining the<br />

present value of provisions, which is performed for each single case of litigation and for the<br />

relative residual life, are given below:<br />

24<br />

Details of the criteria for recognising provisions are given in Part A.2 of the notes to the financial statements “The<br />

main balance sheet items”, section 12 “Provisions for liabilities and charges”, which may be consulted.<br />

• type/nature of the litigation, to be assessed in the light of the legal claims formulated by<br />

the counterparty. Various “macro-families” are identifiable in this respect such as corporate<br />

litigation, labour law cases, financial intermediation litigation, litigation generically definable<br />

as compensation for damages (resulting from non performance of contract obligations, illegal<br />

actions, violation of regulations) etc.;<br />

• degree of “innovation” in the litigation, to be assessed by considering whether the issues<br />

turn on matters already known and “weighed” by the Bank or on completely new matters<br />

which therefore require study (e.g. resulting from a change in the legislation or in legal<br />

orientations);<br />

• degree of “strategic importance” of the litigation to the bank: for commercial reasons<br />

the Bank might for example decide to end a case very rapidly even if it had grounds of defence<br />

that would allow it to resist in court for a long time.<br />

• average length of litigation, to be weighted taking account of geographical factors, which is<br />

to say the location of the jurisdiction in which the case is tried and the state of progress of the<br />

trial. In this respect a decision must be taken on the source of the statistics from which data is<br />

obtained and assistance can be obtained from the lawyers who represent the Bank in litigation<br />

and who have direct knowledge of the jurisdictions concerned for each case;<br />

• the “nature” of the counterparty (e.g. a private individual or a legal entity, a professional<br />

operator or not, a consumer or not. etc.).<br />

A contingent liability is defined as:<br />

a possible obligation, the result of past events, the existence of which will only be confirmed<br />

by the occurrence or (non occurrence) of future events that are not totally under the control<br />

of the enterprise;<br />

a present obligation that is the result of past events, but which is not recognised in the<br />

accounts because:<br />

− it is improbable that financial resources will be needed to settle the obligation;<br />

− the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.<br />

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are only reported,<br />

unless they are considered a remote possibility. In the latter case, in compliance with IAS 37,<br />

no information is given on them in the notes to the financial statements<br />

Amounts for contingent liabilities are also subject to periodical verification because it is<br />

possible that events may occur which make them remote or probable with the possible need,<br />

in the latter case, to make a provision for them in the financial statements<br />

During the course of 2008, following the tax audit of a Group member company (BPB Property)<br />

by the tax authorities, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> received a notice of tax assessment (not preceded by an<br />

audit report) concerning the contribution of company operations to Immobiliare Serico<br />

performed by BPU <strong>Banca</strong> (now <strong>UBI</strong>) in 2003. Similar notices of tax assessment were also<br />

received by two other Group member companies which had made contributions of the same<br />

type. That tax assessment contested the contribution of the company operations and<br />

reclassified it as the contribution of a number of properties with consequent effects for IRES,<br />

IRAP and VAT purposes, because ordinary instead of concessionary rates therefore applied.<br />

The tax assessment in question quantified the increased taxes, fines and interest for <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> at 12,4 million euro.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, assisted by expert professional external opinion, considered that there were<br />

grounds in fact and in law to believe that the interpretation of the tax authorities that the<br />

assets did not constitute a unit of company operations is without foundation and therefore no<br />

provision was made for this item. With regard to the presumed date of pay-out it is probable<br />

that the various cases will be concluded within a time period of between one and five years.<br />

14.4 Share capital: other information<br />

The share capital consists of 639.145.902 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 2,50 euro<br />

each. There are no rights, privileges and restrictions for each category of shares, including<br />

restrictions on the distribution of dividends and the reimbursement of the share capital.<br />

The issues that were made in 2007 relate exclusively to the increase in the share capital as a<br />

consequence of the merger which took effect on 1 st April 2007.<br />

With regard to the composition of other reserves, the deed for the merger of the company<br />

Mercati Finanziari Società di Intermediazione Mobiliare Spa into <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> was signed on 29 th<br />

February 2008. The effectiveness of the merger was backdated for tax and accounting<br />

purposes to 1 st January 2008. Ownership of 100% of the merged company by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> led to<br />

an accounting treatment of the transaction in a framework of mergers of entities under<br />

common control based on the “preliminary orientations on IFRS” of the Italian National<br />

Association of Auditors. As already described in the footnote to the statement of changes in<br />

shareholders’ equity, the loss on the merger that arose, amounting to euro 62.511, was<br />

recognised as a decrease in other equity reserves (Reserve for transactions under common<br />

control).<br />

The losses on units in O.I.C.R. (collective investment instruments) included the effects of the<br />

total write-down of positions in four hedge funds related to the Madoff default.<br />

The total loss calculated taking into consideration the value of the funds at the time of the<br />

default amounted to 52,9 million euro. On the other hand, the funds in question had a<br />

positive value during 2008 of 3,6 million euro.<br />

The losses on debt securities also included the effects of the write-down of a bond issued by<br />

Lehman Brothers totalling 4 million euro. As already reported at the foot of Table 2.1 in the<br />

assets part of section 2, the fair valuation of the security resulted in recognition of a loss in<br />

2008 amounting to 3,4 million euro.<br />

The negative amount in line 1.2, “Equity instruments”, should be read in conjunction with the<br />

positive impact of line 4.1 “Financial derivatives on equity instruments and share indices”<br />

because they are linked on a management basis.<br />

The losses on units in O.I.C.R. (collective investment instruments) included the effects of the<br />

total write-down of a hedge fund related to the Madoff default.<br />

The total loss calculated taking into consideration the value of the fund at the time of the<br />

default amounted to 5,3 million euro. Conversely, the fund had a positive value with respect to<br />

the carrying amount as at 31 st December 2008 of 353 thousand euro.<br />

More generally, if the amounts just mentioned are excluded, the negative result recorded for<br />

O.I.C.R.s (collective investment instruments) is attributable to the unfavourable performance<br />

of the hedge fund market in 2008.<br />

International accounting standards (IAS 33) specify a precise method for calculating earnings<br />

per share (EPS) with two formulas: basic earnings and diluted earnings per share.<br />

Basic EPS has been calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of<br />

the Parent Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary outstanding shares during the<br />

year.<br />

Part D – Segment reporting<br />

As reported in Part A.2 – the part on the main balance sheet items – section 14 of this<br />

publication, information on segment reporting is provided in the corresponding section of the<br />

Consolidated Annual Report.<br />

659 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Part E – Information on risks and the<br />

relative hedging policies<br />

In compliance with current regulations, the <strong>UBI</strong> Group has adopted a risk control system<br />

which disciplines in a integrated way the organisational, regulatory and methodological<br />

guidelines of the system of internal controls with which all Group member companies must<br />

comply in order to allow the Parent Bank to perform its activities of strategic, management<br />

and operational control in an effective and economical manner.<br />

The Bank works pro-actively to identify the risks to which it is subject and to define the<br />

relative criteria for measuring, managing and monitoring them.<br />

The key principles on which Group risk analysis and management are based for the pursuit of<br />

an increasingly more knowledgeable and efficient allocation of economic and supervisory<br />

capital are as it follows:<br />

- rigorous containment of financial and credit risks and strong management of all types<br />

of risk;<br />

- the use of sustainable value creation logic in defining the propensity to risk and the<br />

allocation of capital;<br />

- definition of the Group’s propensity to risk with reference to specific types of risk<br />

and/or specific activities in a set of policy regulations for the Group and for the single<br />

entities within it.<br />

This part furnishes information on the risk profiles listed below, on the relative management<br />

and hedging policies pursued by the Bank and its activities relating to financial derivative<br />

instruments:<br />

a) credit risk;<br />

b) market risks:<br />

- interest rates,<br />

- price,<br />

- currency,<br />

c) liquidity risk;<br />

d) operational risks.<br />

A report on the general framework of the risks and uncertainties to which the Bank is exposed<br />

is given in a special section of the management report, prepared in compliance with Legislative<br />

Decree No. 32 of 2 nd February 2007, which implements EC Directive No. 2003/51/EC.<br />

660 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


SECTION 1 – Credit risk<br />

Qualitative information<br />

1. General aspects<br />

The strategies and policies for assuming credit risk and the instruments employed to manage<br />

it are defined by the Risk Capital & Policies Area in conjunction with the Credit Area. The<br />

Commercial Macro Area, the Risk Management Area and the Studies Service also contribute to<br />

the formulation of policies. There is a particular focus in formulating the credit policies on<br />

maintaining an appropriate risk/yield profile and on assuming risks that are consistent with<br />

the propensity to risk defined by senior management and, more generally, with the mission of<br />

the Group.<br />

The priorities in the orientation of the Group's credit policies are to support local economies,<br />

families, businessmen, professionals and small-to-medium size enterprises. The particular<br />

attention paid to maintaining relations established with customers and to developing them<br />

over the years is one of the strong points of the Group and it helps to eliminate information<br />

asymmetries and offers continuity in relationships with customers with a view to long term<br />

support.<br />

Credit policies have been developed on the basis of:<br />

- macroeconomic forecasts which allow risk and expected growth for 2009 to be assessed<br />

for different sectors and geographical areas;<br />

- forecasts of growth in lending from which expected growth rates can be defined for<br />

each sub-portfolio, geographical area, sector and rating class;<br />

- a model to optimise the portfolio developed using an EVA approach with the objective<br />

of maximising the value created on the corporate market, while observing the<br />

constraints applied to maintain high asset quality and an acceptable risk profile for<br />

loans.<br />

Action was also taken to define operational rules for very short term transactions and for<br />

medium and long term business by using pricing sensitivity indicators, given the increase in<br />

the cost of funding that has occurred.<br />

Finally particular attention is paid to defining guidelines for the treatment of new products<br />

with adequate reporting to senior management concerning observance of risk/yield objectives,<br />

the calculation of minimum interest rates for granting loans, the quality of borrowers,<br />

guarantees received and expected rates of recovery in cases of insolvency.<br />

Credit policies are implemented in the distribution network by means of:<br />

- loan assessment procedures which are made simpler for counterparties belonging to<br />

attractive clusters and through targeted marketing campaigns;<br />

- initiatives designed to contain risk profiles and limit the negative impact on value<br />

creation in the corporate portfolio (corrective pricing action/acquiring<br />

guarantees/revision of credit lines) for counterparties belonging to unattractive<br />

clusters.<br />

2. Policies for the management of credit risk<br />

2.1 Organisational aspects<br />

The Bank is exposed in the performance of its business to the risk that the loans it grants will<br />

not be repaid by borrowers when they are due and must be partially or fully written-down.<br />

More specifically the risk profile for lending is sensitive to the performance of the economy as a<br />

whole, to the deterioration in the financial position of counterparties (shortage of liquidity,<br />

insolvency, etc.), or to changes in their competitiveness and to structural or technological<br />

changes they make and to other external factors (e.g. changes in legislation, deterioration in<br />

the value of financial guarantees connected with market performance).<br />

The organisational model on which the units which manage credit activity is based is as it<br />

follows:<br />

• Parent Bank units for centralised monitoring and co-ordination;<br />

• the General Managements of banks and subsidiary undertakings, to which the<br />

following report:<br />

- credit departments;<br />

- local loan approval centres;<br />

- branches;<br />

- corporate banking units (CBUs),<br />

- private banking units (PBUs).<br />

The characteristics of that organisational model not only ensure strong standardisation<br />

between the units of the Parent Bank and the corresponding units in the Network Banks, with<br />

consequent linearity in the processes and the optimisation of information flows, but they also<br />

provide a clear separation between commercial and credit functions. Loan granting activity is<br />

also differentiated by customer segment (retail/private banking and corporate) and specialised<br />

by the status of the loan: “performing” (managed by retail, private banking and corporate<br />

lending units) and problem (managed by problem loan credit units).<br />

The Parent Bank oversees policy management, overall portfolio monitoring, the refinement of<br />

assessment systems, problem loan management and compliance with regulations through the<br />

Credit Area, the Strategy and Control Macro Area, the Debt Collection Area and the audit<br />

functions of the Parent Bank and Group.<br />

Credit positions at <strong>UBI</strong> are principally connected with treasury activity performed for<br />

institutional counterparties and Group entities.<br />

Further details of credit risk management policies are given in the same section of the notes to<br />

the consolidated financial statements, which may be consulted.<br />

2.2 Management, measurement and control systems<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> Credit Risk Service is responsible for Group reporting on credit risk in order to<br />

monitor changes in the risk attached to lending for individual banks and commercial<br />

portfolios. The reports are submitted monthly to the Management Board and quarterly to the<br />

Boards of Directors of the individual Network Banks. The reports give changes in loan<br />

deterioration rates and the distribution of internal rating classes for all banks and for the<br />

Network Banks they give changes in average risk for the corporate market, the small business<br />

portfolio in the retail market and for the affluent and mass market portfolios again in the retail<br />

market. Reporting for the “Product Companies” is based on the specific risk for the various<br />

types of lending and products marketed. Special reports on specific matters are also prepared<br />

on the main components of credit risk.<br />

662 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


The migration to the internal ratings systems on the target platform was completed in 2008<br />

and at present this involves the use of automatic models for private individuals and smallsized<br />

businesses, automatic models supplemented by qualitative questionnaires and a geosectoral<br />

module for medium to large size businesses and a mainly judgemental model for<br />

major borrowers (i.e. groups of companies with authorised credit of greater than 20 million<br />

euro).<br />

Automatic models produce statistical summary ratings on the basis of following risk factors<br />

appropriately calibrated according to the type of counterparty or model:<br />

- economic and financial factors;<br />

- performance factors (internal and external);<br />

- qualitative factors (competitive positioning, corporate structure, etc.);<br />

- geo-sectoral factors.<br />

The major borrower model integrates an economic and financial assessment with a structured<br />

judgmental component which examines aspects such as the shareholder base, management,<br />

sector, competitive environment and financial flexibility, giving great consideration to factors<br />

relating to the group of companies to which the counterparty belongs.<br />

Taken as a whole the models just described constitute the internal rating system (IRB) of the<br />

Group managed by the Risk Management Area and by the Credit Area. It is constantly<br />

subjected to refinement in order to increase the accuracy of credit rating measurement both<br />

for individual counterparties and at aggregate level.<br />

As recommended by the Bank of Italy circular No. 263/2006, New Supervisory Instructions for<br />

Banks, the Group adopted the standardised approach for the determination of supervisory<br />

capital from 1 st January 2008. It was decided to make use, for the “businesses and other”<br />

supervisory class of exposures in particular, of external credit ratings, where available,<br />

furnished by the agencies Moody’s and Lince which are ECAIs (External Credit Assessment<br />

Institutions) recognised by the Bank of Italy.<br />

Particularly intense activity was also performed in 2008 to revise, update and adopt policies<br />

and regulations for credit risk management. Existing policies are listed below together with the<br />

principal contents:<br />

– Credit Policy, which outlines the growth strategy for the Group corporate lending<br />

portfolio;<br />

– “Country and institutional counterparty risk” policy, which sets out rules and principles<br />

for managing credit granted to resident and non resident institutional customers and<br />

also to ordinary customers in countries at risk.<br />

– Policy for the distribution of mortgage loans through intermediaries, which regulates the<br />

procedures for the use of external distribution networks for granting mortgages to non<br />

captive customers in order to contain potential credit, operational and reputational<br />

risks.<br />

– Policy on the portability, renegotiation, substitution and early repayment of the<br />

mortgages of direct customers of the network banks, which provides <strong>UBI</strong> Group<br />

guidelines for the portability (in both directions), the renegotiation, the substitution<br />

and early repayment (partial or total) of mortgages. It complies with the new regulatory<br />

framework recently introduced on the matter 25 and is also designed, in agreement with<br />

25 At the level of primary legislation: Decree Law No. 7 of 31/1/2007 (the “Bersani-bis decree”), as amended firstly on<br />

its conversion into Law No. 40 of 2/4/2007 and then by Law No. 244 of 24/12/2007 (the 2008 finance act), with<br />

663 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


sector authorities 26 , with a view to minimising the times required, the conditions and<br />

the related costs (by setting minimum services standards, amongst other things) and<br />

also to equipping the Group with appropriate processes and instruments to manage<br />

the relative risks (credit, operational and reputation).<br />

– Policy on the portability, renegotiation, substitution and early repayment of mortgages<br />

granted through intermediaries, which relates to mortgages granted on the basis of<br />

standing arrangements between the companies and banks in the Group and specific<br />

distribution networks.<br />

– Policy on “single name” credit risk concentration, which sets maximum limits on<br />

exposure to a single counterparty in order to limit risks of instability that would arise<br />

from high rates of concentration of loans on major borrowers;<br />

– Risk-adjusted pricing policy, which defines a process to formulate and implement riskadjusted<br />

pricing approaches for various products which involve the assumption of<br />

credit risk;<br />

– Policy for Centrobanca structured finance transactions, which sets specific limits and<br />

constraints (especially with regard to rating classes and maturity) for the structured<br />

finance transactions of Centrobanca. It combines the achievement of budget targets in<br />

terms of volumes disbursed and profitability with appropriate management in terms of<br />

concentration and distribution by rating classes.<br />

2.3 Techniques for mitigating credit risk<br />

The remaining positions in derivative instruments (CDS – Credit Default Swaps) existing as at<br />

31 st December 2007 amounting to approximately 341 million euro on capitalisation certificates<br />

issued by insurance companies were closed in 2008.<br />

During the same period <strong>UBI</strong> sold protection, again using CDSs, for a nominal amount of 65<br />

million euro.<br />

As concerns derivatives, overall exposure and concentration limits are laid down, as well as<br />

qualitative constraints in terms of credit standards for individual counterparties. In addition,<br />

collateral lodgement agreements (Credit Support Annex of the International Swap Derivatives<br />

Association – ISDA) have been concluded in order to reduce the scale of exposure significantly.<br />

For derivatives transactions with corporate customers, specific credit lines are opened for<br />

derivatives products, the use of which is calculated on the basis of credit equivalents,<br />

appropriately defined for each transaction.<br />

particular reference to articles 7, 8 and 8-bis (the latter makes it absolutely forbidden to charge customers for<br />

expenses relating to the preparation, production, delivery or other expenses, under any title, relating to<br />

communications connected, amongst other things, with the laws just mentioned); Decree Law No. 93 of 27/5/’08, on<br />

the renegotiation of floating rate mortgages for the purchase, construction and renovation of a principal dwelling (cf<br />

article 3 in particular) for which the conversion into law is expected along with the definition of the convention<br />

agreement it involves between the Italian Banking Association and the Ministry of the Economy and Finance to<br />

establish the details of the terms and conditions for that renegotiation.<br />

Other significant sources include: the agreement between the Italian Banking Association and consumer associations<br />

of 2/5/2007 (subsequently amended with an additional declaration on 17/3/08 to extend the scope to include<br />

mortgages assumed following division of debt) to define the maximum amount of the penalties for early repayment of<br />

mortgages existing when Decree Law No. 7/07 came into force; the land agency memorandum No. 9 of 21/6/2007<br />

containing initial indications concerning the issue of portability; the regulations for the interbank procedures for<br />

transferring details of mortgages for portability purposes defined by the Italian Banking Association with various<br />

memorandums issued between December 2007 and January ‘08; various interpretations issued by the Ministry for<br />

Economic Development on 17/3/’08 received for information purposes by the Italian Banking Association and<br />

distributed by it to its members on the treatment of notary expenses in portability transactions.<br />

26 In this respect observations were made by the Antitrust Authority on 22/11/2007 and 27/5/2008 and a note was<br />

issued by the Bank of Italy in April 2008 on the “Portability of finance contracts”.<br />

In consideration of the type of transactions present in the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> lending portfolio, only the ratings for “Major Borrowers” are<br />

presented. This model combines objective, quantitative judgements (represented by financial statements) with subjective and qualitative<br />

assessments based on five areas of investigation: shareholder base, management, sector, competitive environment and financial<br />

flexibility.<br />

The final rating assigned to a counterparty also gives explicit consideration to its membership of a group of companies and its strategic<br />

importance to it and/or degree of protection obtained from it.<br />

Percentage analyses of lending portfolio positions subject to internal rating<br />

The table has not been published because of the negligible percentage of the exposure that is subject to internal rating. The low percentage<br />

of cover for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> loans is because of the extremely small volume of the Bank’s traditional lending business and the prevalence of<br />

positions in financial instruments.<br />

secured/guaranteed exposures, the amount of the guarantee relates to the value of the security used as collateral in the repurchase<br />

agreements, while credit exposures includes amounts accruing as at 31 st December 2008.<br />

Exposures to customers related to reverse repurchase agreements entered into with the Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia (central<br />

counterparty clearing) on 31 st December 2008.<br />

The securities underlying the reverse repurchase agreements entered into with banks in the Group were used in part for intraday<br />

advances with the Bank of Italy as follows:<br />

- securities issued by Group member companies for a nominal amount of 2.468.600 thousand euro<br />

- other securities for a nominal amount of 206.500 thousand euro.<br />

C. Securitisation and asset disposal transactions<br />

C.1 Securitisation transactions<br />

Qualitative information<br />

Three securitisations were performed in 1999, 2000 and 2001 by the former <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare<br />

di Bergamo – Credito Varesino, now <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> under the terms of Law No. 130/99 on<br />

performing mortgage loans to private individuals resident in Italy. These operatrions were<br />

performed to support the considerable expansion in the home mortgage lending sector.<br />

All the securitisation operations described above were carried out with the assistance of SPEs<br />

established for that purpose, as provided for by Law No. 130/1999. The Bank holds no<br />

interests in those companies, in order: Albenza Srl, Albenza 2 Società per la Cartolarizzazione<br />

Srl and Albenza 3 Società per la Cartolarizzazione Srl.<br />

The SPEs selling the securitised loans appointed <strong>UBI</strong> as the servicer. <strong>UBI</strong> in its turn signed a<br />

sub-servicing contract with its subsidiary <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo Spa, delegating to it<br />

principally the task of managing relations with customers, the receipt of instalments on<br />

mortgage repayments and in-court and out-of-court debt collection.<br />

The consideration received by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> during the year for that activity amounted to 176<br />

thousand euro.<br />

The Bank uses the sub-servicer support and its own Credit Area and Risk Management Area<br />

specialist departments under the direct control of the Administration and Tax Area to<br />

constantly monitor the performance of operations with the periodic production of quarterly<br />

reports to senior management and to the supervisory body on the performance of debt<br />

collection and the quality of the portfolio.<br />

During 2008 these parameters continued to be satisfactory.<br />

On 15 th August 2008 the Albenza Srl transaction was closed down in advance in accordance<br />

with contracts. The right to repurchase loans, held under contract by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa, was<br />

transferred to <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo Spa which recognised the loans transferred in its<br />

financial statements. The relative servicing activity therefore closed down on 31 st July 2008.<br />

To complete the information, the Albenza 2 Srl transaction was also closed down in advance<br />

on 15 th January 2009 in a similar manner and the relative servicing activity was wound up<br />

on 31 st December 2008.<br />

D. Models for the measurement of credit risk<br />

The development of a portfolio credit risk model is currently continuing with regard to the<br />

measurement of credit risk. It uses an Algorithmics PCRE – portfolio credit risk engine – which<br />

considers the total risk of a credit portfolio by modelling and capturing the component that<br />

results from the correlation of counterparty defaults, calculating credit losses and capital at credit<br />

risk at portfolio level.<br />

SECTION 2 – Market risk<br />

2.1 Interest rate risk – Supervisory trading portfolio<br />

Qualitative information<br />

A. General aspects<br />

The considerations that follow relate exclusively to the “trading book”, as defined by supervisory<br />

regulations. Equity investments in other companies classified as for trading according to IAS and<br />

the portfolios for balanced trading are excluded.<br />

The management of the Group’s financial risks is centred in general on <strong>UBI</strong> by means of the<br />

Finance Area. Exception is made for the portfolio for which management has been delegated to<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR by the Parent Bank and for portfolios managed directly by Centrobanca, IW<br />

Bank, BDG and <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> International.<br />

B. Processes for the management and methods of measurement of interest rate<br />

risk<br />

The guidelines for the assumption and monitoring of market risk in the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group are<br />

defined in the policy for financial risk management. The Parent Bank intervenes in the process of<br />

managing and monitoring financial risk as follows:<br />

• definition of methods for measuring financial risks. These methods are approved by the<br />

Management Board of the Parent Bank and are submitted to the Boards of Directors of<br />

individual Group member companies for implementation;<br />

• definition of strategic guidelines and of the target range for the total ALM positioning of the<br />

Group and individual companies (ordinarily when budgets are formulated). This<br />

positioning is approved by the <strong>UBI</strong> Management Board on the proposal of the Finance<br />

Committee and is submitted to the Boards of Directors of individual Group member<br />

companies for implementation;<br />

• definition of the type of investments, risk limits and quantification of these for the Group<br />

as a whole and for each Group member company in respect of investment portfolios. These<br />

limits are approved by the <strong>UBI</strong> Management Board on the proposal of the Finance<br />

Committee and are submitted to the Boards of Directors of individual Group member<br />

companies for implementation;<br />

• monitoring, co-ordination and strategic control by the Finance Committee on<br />

developments in the management of financial risks. Reports on portfolios subject to credit<br />

risk must be systematically forwarded also to the Credit Area;<br />

686 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


• in the presence of particular conditions, the Finance Committee makes proposals for<br />

urgent intervention and corrective action if necessary to Group risk assumption centres;<br />

• design and management of the system of internal controls, in accordance with the relative<br />

specific regulations.<br />

Further information is given in the corresponding sub-section of the notes to the consolidated<br />

financial statements which may be consulted.<br />

(2) The diversification effect is given by the imperfect correlation between the different risk factors present in the portfolio.<br />

Backtesting analysis<br />

Backtesting analysis is designed to monitor the predictive power of the VaR model adopted. It<br />

uses a theoretical Profit & Loss calculated on the basis of hypothetical changes in the value of the<br />

portfolio, determined by revaluing at the time “t” the positions at the end of the day at “t-1”<br />

(assuming the positions are unchanged).<br />

The backtesting analysis for the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> trading book in 2008 is given below. Backtesting on<br />

the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> supervisory trading book recorded five cases when the P&L was exceeded with<br />

respect to the VaR limit due to conditions of particular stress on financial markets.<br />

Stress test analyses<br />

The Group has a stress testing programme designed to analyse the reaction of portfolios to risk<br />

factor shocks with the objective of verifying the capacity of the supervisory capital to absorb very<br />

large potential losses and to identify possible measures needed to reduce risks and conserve the<br />

capital itself.<br />

The stress tests are based on theoretical shocks: they consist of specially created extreme shifts in<br />

interest rate (short, medium and long term), credit spread, exchange rate, equity price and<br />

volatility curves.<br />

The results of the theoretical stress tests performed on the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> portfolios are given below.<br />

2.2 Interest rate risk – banking portfolio<br />

The banking portfolio consists of all those financial instruments, assets and liabilities, not<br />

included in the trading portfolio, dealt with in section 2.1.<br />

Qualitative information<br />

A. General aspects, processes for the management and methods of measurement of<br />

interest rate risk<br />

The monitoring and management of structural interest rate risk - from fair value and from cash<br />

flow – is performed by the Risk Management Area of the Parent Bank and extends to include all<br />

interest rate sensitive banks and companies in the Group.<br />

The Supervisory Board of the Parent Bank defines, on proposal of the Strategy and Control Macro<br />

Area, the strategic policies and the positioning range – expressed in terms of sensitivity – for<br />

interest rate risk, for both the Group as a whole.<br />

The Management Board defines an early warning threshold for the position of the Group and<br />

exposure limits – generally expressed in terms of a percentage of the individual supervisory capital<br />

– for each company belonging to the Group.<br />

A policy of basic balancing in terms of exposure to interest risk is defined by the Supervisory<br />

Board at individual company level, although there are some specific exceptions identified by the<br />

Management Board.<br />

The methods employed for measuring interest rate risk consist mainly of gap analysis and<br />

sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis of economic value is flanked by sensitivity analysis of net<br />

interest income which focuses on changes in profits in the following twelve months.<br />

B. Fair value hedging<br />

Specific and macro hedges were performed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> using financial derivative instruments<br />

(fair value hedges) only, in order to reduce exposure to adverse changes in fair value due to<br />

interest rate risk. More specifically, fixed and mixed interest rate loans with a term of longer than<br />

one year (macro hedge), fixed rate bond issues (specific hedge), structured bonds and some<br />

securities in the AFS portfolio were subject to hedging. The derivative contracts used were of the<br />

interest rate swap type.<br />

Activity to test the effectiveness of cash flow hedges is performed by the Financial Risks Service.<br />

Tests for effectiveness are performed prospectively when a hedge is first implemented and this is<br />

followed by monthly retrospective tests.<br />

C. Cash flow hedging<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> performs no cash flow hedging in compliance with IAS rules.<br />

1. Banking portfolio: distribution by residual life (by repricing date) of the financial<br />

assets and liabilities<br />

This sub-section has not been provided because the subsequent sub-section provides a sensitivity<br />

analysis to interest rate risk.<br />

2. Banking portfolio: internal models and other methods of sensitivity analysis.<br />

Interest rate risk for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, measured by means of sensitivity analysis in a scenario of a<br />

parallel shift in the yield curve of +100 bp, amounted to -66,95 million euro at the end of the year<br />

(+19,62 million euro as at 31 st December 2007). That level of exposure includes approximately -<br />

36,65 million euro of sensitivity from hedging derivatives contracts concluded with Group member<br />

companies, in line with the financial risks policy of the Group. Gross of that component, which<br />

because it is attributable to trading derivatives is also included in the calculations relating to<br />

interest rate risk on the trading portfolio, the sensitivity of the position of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> itself stands<br />

at around approximately -30,30 million euro.<br />

During January and February of 2009 further financial derivatives contracts were entered into to<br />

bring the exposure of the network banks below the threshold set by financial risk policy and these<br />

were only partially closed on the market. Net of the those contracts, total exposure to interest rate<br />

risk (scenario +100 b.p.) amounted to -85,69 million euro equal to approximately 0,61% of the<br />

supervisory capital.<br />

The table below gives the risk measured for the periods cited for a standardised parallel shift in<br />

the curve of 200 bp, in compliance with the requirements of Basle 2, measured on the supervisory<br />

capital at the end of the period.<br />

2.3 Price risk – supervisory trading portfolio<br />

Qualitative information<br />

A. General aspects<br />

This is the risk of changes in price as a function of fluctuations in market variables and specific<br />

factors relating to issuers or counterparties.<br />

As concerns, Information on general and organisational aspects, it is given in the section “interest<br />

rate risk-trading portfolio”, which may be consulted.<br />

The risk of losses caused by unfavourable changes in the price of traded financial instruments<br />

due to factors related to the issuer can be the result of daily trading activity (idiosyncratic risk) or<br />

of a sudden change in price with respect to general market trends (event risk, such as the risk of<br />

default by the issuer caused by a change in the market’s expectation that an itself issuer will<br />

default).<br />

B. Processes for the management and methods for the measurement of price risk<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> model for managing specific risk for debt securities is capable of detecting the first of the<br />

two components (idiosyncratic risk) because it considers spread curves by economic sector and<br />

rating class as risk factors.<br />

Total risk on equity instruments (and OICR – collective investment instruments) is measured by<br />

considering single shares as risk factors and it includes both the generic risk component (i.e. the<br />

risk of losses caused by unfavourable trends in the prices of the financial instruments traded in<br />

general) and a specific component relating to the situation of the issuer.<br />

As concerns hedge funds, the system of limits on investments and the method of calculating<br />

financial risks are governed by a specific policy approved by the Management Board of the <strong>UBI</strong><br />

Group.<br />

More specifically, qualitative and quantitative limits are defined to guarantee an adequate degree<br />

of diversification and liquidity, to set the maximum acceptable loss and to measure the risk profile<br />

implicit in the portfolio (maximum capital, limits on the composition of the portfolio, liquidity of<br />

funds, VaR, maximum cumulative loss).<br />

The VaR on hedge funds is calculated using the “Style Analysis” method with a confidence interval<br />

of 99% and a holding period of 2 months (consistent with the average time required to liquidate<br />

the investment). “Style analysis” is the sensitivity of the returns on a single fund to a limited set of<br />

market factors, consisting of the performances of the indices of CSFB Tremont funds in relation to<br />

different strategies for managing hedge funds. A systematic VaR is calculated for each fund which<br />

identifies the risk component given by the combination of market factors, which is therefore<br />

diversifiable, and a specific VaR (idiosyncratic), linked to the behaviour of the fund manager. Total<br />

VaR is given by the combination of systematic VaR and specific VaR, assuming non correlation<br />

between the two.<br />

At the end of December 2008, the method for calculating VaR was applied to funds amounting to<br />

approximately 508 million euro. The VaR used was approximately 43 million euro (against a limit<br />

of 50 million euro). The investments were denominated exclusively in euro (49.9% of NAV) and in<br />

USD (50.1% of NAV) and they were mainly in multi-strategy funds (more than 21% of NAV), which<br />

involve internal diversification of the management strategies, in event driven funds (19% of NAV),<br />

in long/short equity funds (16% of NAV), in equity market neutral funds (14.5% of NAV) and in<br />

fixed income arbitrage funds (13% of NAV).<br />

2.5 Currency risk<br />

Qualitative information<br />

A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring currency risk<br />

Currency risk is calculated on the basis of the methods recommended by the Bank of Italy and<br />

amounts to 8% of the net foreign exchange position. The latter is calculated as the higher (in<br />

absolute terms) of the sum of the net long positions and the sum of the net short positions<br />

(position for each currency) to which the currency risk implicit in investments in OICRs (collective<br />

investment instruments) is added.<br />

B. Currency risk hedging<br />

Information on the analysis of hedging for currency risk is contained in section 2.2 on the<br />

analysis of interest rate risk which may be consulted.<br />

Quantitative information<br />

Absorption of capital for currency risk as at 31 st December 2008 amounted to around 65,6 million euro, a slight reduction compared to<br />

the figure for June 2008. This trend is attributable to a progressive reduction performed in the second half of 2008 in investments in<br />

hedge funds, to which the capital requirement for currency risk is primarily associated.<br />

SECTION 3 – Liquidity risk<br />

Qualitative information<br />

General aspects, processes for the management and methods for the measurement of<br />

liquidity risk<br />

Liquidity management for the network banks of Group is centralised at the Finance Area of<br />

the Parent Bank. Some of the product companies (including Centrobanca and IW Bank) and<br />

the foreign companies, whose internal policies do not require an exclusive relationship with<br />

the Parent Bank, constitute an exception to this.<br />

Monitoring and control of liquidity risk are performed by the Financial Risks Service, primarily<br />

by verifying the level of the Bank’s liquidity requirement. This is calculated from the maturity<br />

gaps between risk-sensitive assets and liabilities (excluding items that can be readily<br />

liquidated, which constitute available liquidity).<br />

A detailed description of the processes employed to manage liquidity risk and the methods<br />

used to measure it is given in the relative section of the consolidated financial statements<br />

which may be consulted.<br />

SECTION 4 – Operational risk<br />

Qualitative information<br />

A. General aspects, procedures for the management and methods for the measurement of<br />

operational risk<br />

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed procedures,<br />

human resources and internal systems or from exogenous events. This type of risk includes<br />

loss resulting from fraud, human error, business disruption, system failure, non performance<br />

of contracts and natural disasters.<br />

This definition includes the legal risk of losses resulting from violations of laws and<br />

regulations, and from contractual or non contractual responsibilities or from other litigation,<br />

but it does not include reputational and strategic risk.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group places a particular focus in the formulation of operational risk management<br />

policies on maintaining an appropriate risk profile that is consistent with the propensity to risk<br />

defined by senior management. It is Group policy to identify, measure and monitor operational<br />

risks within an overall process of operational risk management with the following objectives:<br />

– to identify the causes of prejudicial events at the origin of operational losses and<br />

consequently to increase corporate profitability and improve operational efficiency, by<br />

identifying critical areas and monitoring and optimising the system of controls;<br />

– to optimise policies to mitigate and transfer risk, such as for example, the use of<br />

insurance, on the basis of the magnitude and effective exposure to risk;<br />

– to optimise the allocation and absorption of capital for operational risk and<br />

provision policies in a perspective of creating value for shareholders;<br />

– to support decision-making processes concerning the start up of new business,<br />

activities, products and systems;<br />

– to develop an operational risk culture at business unit level increasing<br />

awareness throughout all the organisational structure;<br />

– to respond to the regulatory requirements of the New Basel Accord on Capital for<br />

banks and banking groups.<br />

The organisational model developed for operational risk management assigns duties and<br />

responsibilities both locally and centrally to the legal entities involved at Group level. An<br />

Operational Risk Committee has been formed at the Parent Bank with policy-making and<br />

supervision duties for the overall process of operational risk management, while a specific<br />

service (“Operational Risks Service”) is also in operation within the Risk Management Area<br />

dedicated to the planning, development and maintenance of methods for detecting, measuring<br />

and monitoring operational risk and for verifying the effectiveness of measures to mitigate it<br />

and of the connected reporting systems. The Operational Risks Service receives support from<br />

the Methods and Systems Service that operates within the Risk Management Area for the<br />

design and development of the AMA methods and system structure and for maintenance of the<br />

IT environment. Within the Risk Capital & Policies Area, there is also a Financial Service and<br />

Operational Risk Policies Service, responsible, in co-operation with the other organisational<br />

units concerned, for defining policy for the management, monitoring and mitigation of<br />

operational risk, including policies for insurance risk management and for the Models and<br />

Processes Validation Service responsible for the validation process.<br />

The organisational model is structured with four levels of responsibility for the individual legal<br />

entities of the Group:<br />

– Operational Risk Officer (ORO): these are responsible within their legal entities<br />

for implementing the overall framework for the management of operational risks;<br />

717 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


– Local Operational Risk Support Officer (LORSO): the main role acting in<br />

support of the Operational Risk Officer in the general management of operational risks in the<br />

legal entities to which they belong.<br />

– Risk Champion (RC): operationally responsible for supervising operational risk<br />

management for the purposes of overall validation in their business areas, co-ordinating and<br />

supporting the relative risk owners. They support the risk monitoring process and participate<br />

in the definition and implementation of mitigation strategies;<br />

– Risk Owners (RO): their task is to recognise and report actual and/or potential<br />

operational loss events which occur or are detected in the course of everyday operations. They<br />

participate in the implementation of corrective or improvement action decided at higher levels<br />

designed to reduce exposure to risk.<br />

Management, measurement and control systems<br />

The operational risk management system of the Group is composed of the following:<br />

– a decentralised process for collecting data on operational losses (loss data collection)<br />

designed for integrated and systematic detection of damaging events that occur which result in<br />

an actual loss;<br />

– a structured process for mapping and assessing risk scenarios (risk assessment) intrinsic<br />

to the business areas of the Group, where the intention is to furnish critical operational self<br />

diagnosis of potential exposure to the risk of future losses, of the adequacy of controls and of<br />

the mitigation measures in place;<br />

– a database of operational losses incurred by the sector nationally since 2003. The Group<br />

has participated in the DIPO (Italian database of operational losses) project launched by the<br />

ABI (Italian Banking Association) to exchange loss data in the sector since it commenced;<br />

– a system for measuring economic and supervisory capital to calculate the absorption of<br />

supervisory capital by operational risk for each business unit using a standardised and AMA<br />

approach. The measurement of operational risk using the AMA system, currently subject to<br />

authorisation, is of the “loss distribution approach” type and it was developed centrally by the<br />

Risk Management Area of the Parent Bank.<br />

Reporting<br />

A reporting system has been implemented to support the monitoring of operational risks which<br />

furnishes the information needed for proper management, measurement and mitigation of the<br />

levels of risk assumed by the Group.<br />

That system is structured with the same levels of responsibility employed by the organisational<br />

model to support the multiple information requirements intrinsic to the federal model of Group<br />

organisation. The objective is to guarantee standardised information and allow periodic<br />

verification of the operational risks assumed as input for the definition of management<br />

strategies and objectives that are consistent with standard levels of acceptable risk.<br />

Reporting to corporate bodies, the senior management of the Parent Bank and of the network<br />

banks and to the Operational Risks Committee is periodically performed centrally by the<br />

Operational Risks Service. It includes an analysis at differing degrees of detail and with<br />

differing frequencies (monthly/quarterly) according to requirements of the following: an<br />

analysis of data on internal losses and the relative recoveries together with a comparison with<br />

external data for the sector nationally; the results of the assessment of risk exposure with the<br />

identification of areas of vulnerability; and a description of the action needed to prevent and<br />

mitigate risk and of the relative effectiveness.<br />

718 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


Risk transfer mechanisms<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group renewed the insurance policies expiring at the end of 2008 to cover the<br />

principal transferable operational risks. It intends to use these to reduce its capital<br />

requirement by means of the AMA approach, bringing them into line with prudential<br />

supervisory regulations (Bank of Italy Circular No. 263/2006). The policies were taken out by<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa in its own name and on behalf of the network banks and product companies<br />

of the Group concerned.<br />

Legal risk<br />

The Bank is party to a number of court proceedings and legal actions of varying nature arising<br />

from the ordinary performance of its business. While it is not possible to predict final outcomes<br />

with certainty, it is considered that an unfavourable conclusion of these proceedings, both<br />

taken singly or as a whole, would not have a significant effect on the financial and economic<br />

position of the Bank.<br />

Quantitative information<br />

The graphs below show that the main sources of operational risk in the period January 2004-<br />

December 2008 were “external context” (78% of impacts and 26% of frequencies) and<br />

“processes” (20% of impacts and 69% of frequencies).<br />

The “external context” risk drivers included human deeds performed by third parties and not<br />

directly under the control of the Bank, such as for example thefts and robberies, paper fraud,<br />

damage caused by natural events (earthquakes, floods, etc.) and other external events. The<br />

“process” risk drivers included unintentional errors and incorrect application of regulations.<br />

The changes that occurred in the impacts gross of insurance and other external recoveries<br />

showed a constant trend with two exceptions in 2007 and 2008. Events of an exceptional<br />

nature were detected over the last two years. A dispute arose in 2007 concerning transactions<br />

in derivative instruments which generated a loss accounting for 60% of the total impacts<br />

detected in 2007. The year 2008, on the other hand saw the detection of an “external fraud" as<br />

a consequence of the Madoff affair which had an impact on the income statement of 54,2<br />

million euro (92% of total impacts detected in 2008).<br />

Part F – Information on shareholders’ equity<br />

SECTION 1 – Shareholders’ Equity<br />

A. Qualitative information<br />

Shareholders’ equity is defined by international accounting standards in a residual manner as<br />

“what remains of an entity’s assets after all the liabilities have been deducted”. From a<br />

financial point of view equity is the means measured in monetary form contributed by the<br />

owners or generated by the entity.<br />

Operational levers are developed on a broader aggregate, consistent with the supervisory<br />

aggregate, which are characterised not just by equity in the strict sense but also by<br />

intermediate aggregates such as innovative instruments, hybrid instruments and subordinated<br />

liabilities.<br />

As the Parent Bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> performs supervision and co-ordination activities for the<br />

companies in the Group and, without prejudice to their business and company by-law<br />

independence, lays down appropriate policies for them.<br />

The Parent Bank analyses and co-ordinates capital requirements on the basis of the Group<br />

development plan, the related risk profiles and, very importantly, in compliance with<br />

supervisory constraints and acts as a privileged counterparty in gaining access to capital<br />

markets applying an integrated approach to optimising capital strength.<br />

722 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


B. Quantitative information<br />

The summary table below gives the origin, the availability for use and distribution of the items<br />

of shareholders’ equity (figures given to one hundredth of a euro) in compliance with Art. 2427,<br />

paragraph 1, No. 7 bis of the Italian Civil Code.<br />

Errore. Il collegamento non è valido.<br />

A = for increase in the share capital<br />

B = to cover losses<br />

C = for distribution to shareholders<br />

(1) Amounts under suspended tax regime<br />

(2) Following the merger with <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda Piemontese, the issue premium reserve increased by 5.790.132.233,70 euro.<br />

In consideration of the uncertainties over whether the reserve that arose following the merger transaction recognised in the accounts in accordance with IFRS<br />

3 was available for distribution to shareholders, it was felt advisable to consider only that part which existed previously amounting to 1.310.245.825,91 euro<br />

as distributable to shareholders until the government furnished clarifications.<br />

(3) Distribution to shareholders is permitted in observance of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Art. 2445 of the Italian Civil Code. If it is used to cover losses, no<br />

distribution can be made until the reserve has been replenished.<br />

(4) Only that part of the reserve which exceeds one fifth of the share capital is available, even for distribution (Art. 2430, paragraph 1, Italian Civil Code).<br />

(5) The “Value realignment reserve” under Law No. 266/2005 with taxation suspended amounting to a total of 90.607.559,00 euro consisted of 27.453.137,73<br />

euro recognised in the “Valuation reserve – adoption of fair value to replace cost”, 61.649.339,66 euro in the “Reserve for reversal of prior year amortisation<br />

and depreciation” and 1.505.081,61 euro in the "Reserve under Art. 7, Par. 2, Law No. 218/90".<br />

2.2 Capital adequacy requirement<br />

A. Qualitative information<br />

The capital adequacy parameters are consistent with the type of business performed by<br />

the Bank as a Parent Bank, which is almost entirely with members of the Group it leads.<br />

The table below shows the absorption of supervisory capital as a function of the overall<br />

capital adequacy requirement.<br />

Compliance with that requirement at the end of the year involved a capital requirement<br />

of 1.275,2 million euro.<br />

The total capital ratios rose from 39,25% to 64,25%.<br />

Finally, the tier 1 capital ratio as at 31 st December 2008 stood at 45,89% compared to<br />

29,33% the previous year.<br />

Share based payments -<br />

- of which senior managers with strategic responsibility -<br />

(*) In addition to the sum destined to the Supervisory Board and to the Management Board, the amount also<br />

included fixed and variable remuneration paid to directors because it is equivalent to staff costs and social<br />

security charges payable by the Bank to employees.<br />

The remuneration in 2008 for 13 senior managers with strategic responsibility including<br />

the Chief Executive Officer and the General Manager was governed by specific individual<br />

agreements and in addition to a fixed component of remuneration there was also a<br />

variable component linked to the achievement of short term objectives.<br />

The following types of remuneration were paid (the relevant accounting standard may be<br />

consulted for definitions):<br />

a)Short-term benefits<br />

Short-term benefits include salaries, social security contributions, indemnities to<br />

replace vacations not taken, absences for illness, paid leave and benefits such as<br />

medical care, housing, and company car.<br />

Short term benefits also include the variable part of remuneration, payment of which is<br />

dependent on meeting annual qualitative and quantitative objectives linked to the<br />

Business Plan. This component accounts on average for approximately 15% of the<br />

Bank’s total labour costs for the 13 senior managers with strategic responsibilities.<br />

b) Benefits subsequent to termination of employment<br />

Post-employment benefits include payments made to pensions funds in relation to<br />

supplementary pensions, insurance premiums relating to health policies to reimburse<br />

medical expenses incurred and other provisions for severance pay.<br />

c) Other long term benefits<br />

There are no medium to long term incentive plans.<br />

d) Indemnity for termination of employment<br />

This item includes payments made if the period of notice required under contracts is<br />

increased in order to give greater protection to the operational continuity of the Group.<br />

(1) The remuneration relating to Mr. Victor Massiah for the whole of 2008, to Mr. Riccardo Sora from 01/12/2008 and to senior managers with strategic responsibility does not<br />

include that relating to any posts held by them in other companies in the Group because this is paid directly to <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>.<br />

(2) The amount relates to remuneration for the post of Member of the Management Board of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> from 27/11/2008.<br />

(3) For Mr. Auletta Armenise the remuneration received from 01/12/2008 is given because until 30/11/2008 the remuneration received for positions held in Group member<br />

companies was paid directly to <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>.<br />

(4) The remuneration was paid at the end of 2007 and the amounts stated in the 2007 financial statements already included those sums.<br />

(5) The amount is inclusive of the special remuneration amounting to 150.000 euro for the position of board member appointed to oversee the internal control system pursuant<br />

to Art. 43 bis of the corporate by-laws.<br />

(6) The remuneration accruing to Mr. Riccardo Sora for his position as director of <strong>Banca</strong> Carime was not paid to him because Mr. Sora was an employee of <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di<br />

Bergamo during the period in question.<br />

(7) The column “other remuneration” gives details of emoluments paid by other Group member companies and also, where relevant, reimbursement of expenses and employee<br />

salaries.<br />

published in the 2007 annual report as at 31.12.2007 because one member retired and there were changes regarding family members during 2007.<br />

(2) Some children who were minors attained eighteen years of age in 2008 and no longer fell within the scope of the Consob resolution (the balance as<br />

at 31.12.2008 was therefore stated net of any shares that may have been held by those persons).<br />

2. Transactions with related parties<br />

In compliance with CONSOB communications No. 97001574 of 20 th February 1997, No.<br />

98015375 of 27 th February 1998, No. 1025564 of 6 th April 2001 and lastly with<br />

communications No. DEM/6064293 of 28 th July 2006 and No. 15519 of 28 th July 2006,<br />

we report that all transactions carried out by the Parent Bank with related parties were<br />

conducted in observance of correct principles both in substance and form under<br />

conditions analogous to those applied for transactions with independent parties.<br />

Following the repeal by the aforementioned CONSOB Communication of 14 th April 2005<br />

of the third paragraph of article 71-bis of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971/1999, by<br />

which the previous Communication No. 2064231 of 30th September 2002 defined the<br />

notion of related parties, since that definition is no longer valid, in accordance with IAS<br />

24, a related party is considered to be related to the issuer if:<br />

a) it directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with<br />

the issuer; or it holds an interest that allows it to exercise significant influence over the<br />

issuer;<br />

b) it is an associate of the issuer (as defined in IAS 28 - investments in associates);<br />

c) it is a joint venture in which the issuer is a venturer;<br />

d) he/she is a manager with strategic responsibilities of the issuer or of its parent,<br />

where a manager with strategic responsibility is intended as meaning those who have<br />

power and responsibility for the planning, management and control of the activities of<br />

the issuer including its directors;<br />

e) he/she is a close member of the family of one of the individuals referred to in (a)<br />

or (d) (a close family member is intended as meaning those who are potentially able to<br />

influence an individual related to the issuer or be influenced by them in their relations<br />

with the issuer);<br />

f) the party is an entity that is controlled, jointly controlled or significantly<br />

influenced by any individual referred to in (d) or (e) or any individual referred to in (d) or<br />

(e) holds significant voting power in such entity, either directly or indirectly;<br />

g) it is a pension fund for the employees of the issuer or of any entity related to it.<br />

In particular, the parent company <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi provide the<br />

subsidiaries of the parent with a series of services, governed by intercompany contracts<br />

drawn up in accordance with the principles of consistency, transparency and uniformity<br />

in line with the organisational model of the Group. Under this model, strategic,<br />

technical, operational and management activities are centralised at <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and the<br />

service company. The prices agreed for the services provided under the contracts were<br />

determined on the basis of market prices or, where appropriate reference parameters<br />

could not be found in the marketplace, in accordance with the particular nature of the<br />

services provided, on the basis of the cost incurred.<br />

The main intragroup contracts existing at the end of the year included those which<br />

implement the centralisation of activities in the Governance, Support and Business<br />

Areas of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi and they involved the Parent Bank,<br />

the service company and the main banks in the Group (<strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Bergamo SpA,<br />

Banco di Brescia Spa, <strong>Banca</strong> Regionale Europea Spa, <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare Commercio e<br />

Industria Spa, <strong>Banca</strong> Carime Spa, <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Ancona Spa, Banco San Giorgio<br />

Spa, <strong>Banca</strong> di Valle Camonica Spa and <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda Private Investments Spa) and<br />

also contracts to implement the “national fiscal consolidation” (in accordance with<br />

articles 117 to 129 of Presidential Decree No. 917/1986, the consolidated law on income<br />

tax) concluded by the Parent Bank with thirty four Italian companies in the Group.<br />

We report with regard to transactions between the Parent Bank and all of its related<br />

parties that no atypical and/or unusual transactions were performed; furthermore no<br />

transactions of that type were even performed with counterparties that were not related<br />

parties.<br />

Atypical and/or unusual transactions, as indicated in Consob Communications No.<br />

98015375 of 27 th February 1998 and No. 102564 of 6 th April 2001, are intended to<br />

735 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> S.c.p.A.


mean all those transactions which, because of their significance/entity, the nature of<br />

the counterparties, the content of the transaction (even in relation to ordinary<br />

operations), the way in which the transfer price is decided and the timing of the event<br />

(close to the end of the financial year) might give rise to doubts concerning: the<br />

correctness/completeness of the information in the accounts, a conflict of interests, the<br />

security of the companies assets and the rights of minority shareholders. Furthermore a<br />

special procedure has been put in place to list and update details of related parties and<br />

also to monitor transactions with them.<br />

755 Report on Corporate governance


Introduction<br />

The purpose of this report is to provide shareholders and the market with an analysis of the<br />

system of corporate governance adopted by Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa (hereinafter <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong>). The system is based on the measures and principles contained:<br />

- in the regulations governing listed issuers set out in the Consolidated Finance Act and in<br />

the related rules to implement them adopted by the Consob (Italian securities market<br />

authority);<br />

- in the regulations governing banks, with particular reference to specific regulations<br />

concerning co-operative ‘popular’ banks set out in the Consolidated Banking Act;<br />

- in the Corporate Governance Code drawn up by Borsa Italiana Spa (the March 2006<br />

version).<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has adopted the “corporate governance code” (March 2006 version), a document<br />

which is designed principally for listed companies that have adopted a traditional governance<br />

model. Article 12 of that code states that if a two tier or one tier management and control<br />

system is adopted “the above articles shall apply insofar as compatible, adapting individual<br />

provisions to the particular system adopted, consistently with the objectives of good corporate<br />

governance, transparency of information and protection of investors and the markets pursued<br />

by the Code and in the light of the criteria provided by this article”.<br />

Therefore, in compliance with the provisions of Article 12.P.3 of the corporate governance code<br />

this report is specifically designed to provide a detailed description of the procedures by which<br />

that code has been applied by the Bank. It also reports those the standards with which the<br />

Bank fully complies with and those with which it does not, even partially, on a “comply or<br />

explain” basis. This is partly because the Bank must consider its status as a cooperative<br />

banking company which, as such, demands strict compliance with regulations contained in<br />

the Consolidated Banking Act and with the consequent supervisory instructions issued by<br />

Bank of Italy.<br />

The report has also been drawn up in compliance with the recommendations mentioned<br />

issued by Borsa Italiana and also in implementation in particular of article 89-bis of the<br />

Issuers' Regulations which requires listed companies to publish an annual report "on<br />

adherence to their codes of conduct and the fulfilment of the commitments arising from<br />

them" 1 , to be included in full in the report on operations.<br />

* * *<br />

This report also contains information on corporate governance and ownership structure<br />

required by Art. 123 bis of Legislative Decree. 58/1998 (hereinafter the Consolidated Finance<br />

Act).<br />

* * *<br />

On 4 th March 2008, the Bank of Italy issued supervisory instructions on the organisation and<br />

corporate governance of Banks in which it laid down principles and practical guidelines<br />

designed to ensure the pursuit of business objectives and to guarantee sound and prudent<br />

management.<br />

Those supervisory instructions, which concern the organisational and governance structure of<br />

banks, required careful assessments to be made of possible changes to the by-laws which led<br />

to the formulation of amendments to the corporate by-laws of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> which will be<br />

submitted to the next shareholders’ meeting for their approval.<br />

Following the approval of the by-law amendments just mentioned. <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> will be able to<br />

confirm – as part of a corporate governance project to be drawn up by 30 th June 2009 – that it<br />

is adopting by-laws and an internal ogranisation that are consistent with the principles<br />

contained in the Bank of Italy instructions.<br />

1 That article 89 bis cited then continues to specify that the report must contain information:<br />

a) on compliance with each requirement of the code of conduct;<br />

b) on reasons for any non compliance with the code of conduct;<br />

c) on any conduct pursued in place of that recommended by the code of conduct.<br />

756 Report on Corporate governance


In this respect, this report has been prepared on the basis of the corporate by-laws currently<br />

in force.<br />

Governance of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is a “popular” bank incorporated in the form of a joint stock co-operative company.<br />

As such, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is required to comply with the provisions of the Italian Civil Code<br />

concerning co-operatives (excluding those expressly listed in Article 150 bis of Legislative<br />

Decree No. 385/1993) and also with those governing joint stock companies, to the extent that<br />

they are not in conflict with the laws governing co-operatives, as indicated in Article 2519 of<br />

the Italian Civil Code. Express details of the Bank’s particular characteristics as a cooperative<br />

are given in the separate company financial report of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa, an integral part of the<br />

report on operations, which was drawn up in compliance with Article 2545 of the Italian Civil<br />

Code and states the criteria followed in company operations to pursue the Bank's mutual<br />

objects.<br />

The legal nature of a “popular” co-operative bank lies in the circumstance that each registered<br />

shareholder of the co-operative is entitled to one vote whatever the number of shares<br />

possessed and no one can hold more than 0.5% of the share capital, in accordance with Art.<br />

30 of the Consolidated Banking Act. An exception to the maximum 0,50% limit is made for<br />

collective investment organisations, for which the regulatory limits specific to each of them<br />

apply.<br />

In recent years the Italian Parliament has attempted on several occasions to examine the<br />

legislation governing “popular” banks with a view to making changes with regard to the<br />

maximum limit on shares that may be held by individual and institutional investors. <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> has expressed its opinion in favour of raising the limits on shareholdings, but at the<br />

same time conserving the regulations on “popular” banks, especially with regard to the<br />

principle of per capita voting.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has adopted a two tier system of management and control, which is considered<br />

better suited to the governance requirements of the Parent Bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, and at the same<br />

time more appropriate to strengthening the protection of registered and unregistered<br />

shareholders, especially through the activity of the Supervisory Board, a body appointed<br />

directly by the registered shareholders and representing them.<br />

The distinguishing features of the two tier system lie in the distinction between:<br />

• strategic supervision and control functions, assigned to the Supervisory Board, which holds<br />

some of the powers which in a traditional system belong to a shareholders' meeting<br />

(approval of financial statements, appointment of the members of the management body<br />

and determination of the relative remuneration) and to the Board of Statutory Auditors and<br />

also fulfils some "senior management" functions, insofar as it is called upon to approve<br />

general guidelines and strategic policies for the Bank and the Group, submitted to it by the<br />

Management Board (Article 46 of the corporate by-laws);<br />

• corporate management functions, assigned to the Management Board, which has exclusive<br />

authority to perform all ordinary and extraordinary operations necessary to pursuit of the<br />

company objects, in compliance with the general guidelines and strategic policies approved<br />

by the Supervisory Board (Article 37 of the Corporate By-laws).<br />

This division of functions identifies distinct aspects of the operational life of the Bank and<br />

assigns them to the corporate bodies just mentioned which, with their respective roles and<br />

responsibilities, determine a corporate governance model that is more consistent with the<br />

structure of the Bank and the Group in the context of a single business plan, characterised by<br />

ongoing dialogue and interfunctional co-operation.<br />

The Bank is listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock market) organised<br />

and managed by Borsa Italiana Spa. Accordingly, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> is also required to comply with<br />

the regulations for listed issuers contained in the Consolidated Finance Act and in the<br />

regulations to implement that act issued by the Consob.<br />

757 Report on Corporate governance


Composition of the share capital<br />

The share capital of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa is composed entirely of ordinary shares traded on the<br />

Mercato Telematico Azionario (screen based stock market) managed by Borsa Italiana Spa and<br />

as at 31 st December 2008 it amounted to 1.597.864.755 euro divided into 639.145.902 shares<br />

with a nominal value of 2,50 euro each, and on that same date registered shareholders<br />

numbered 85.280.<br />

There are no restrictions on the transfer of shares, since the shares are transferable in<br />

accordance with the law (Art. 15 of the corporate by-laws, available on the website<br />

www.ubibanca.it in the English part in the section Corporate Governance, Corporate<br />

Documents).<br />

Since it is a “popular” bank, there is a limit on shareholdings pursuant to Art. 30 of the<br />

Consolidated Banking Act and to Art. 18 of the corporate by-laws, which states that no one<br />

may hold more than the maximum limit permitted by law, which is 0,50% of the share capital<br />

(this limit does not apply to collective investment organisations for which limits laid down in<br />

the rules of each of them apply).<br />

With regard to the limit to the interest that can be held in the share capital of ‘popular’ banks<br />

established by legislation in force, the Bank sent the parties concerned notice, pursuant to<br />

Article 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act, relating to breach of the ban on holding shares in<br />

excess of 0.50%.<br />

Acceptance clauses exist solely for admission to the status of registered shareholder.<br />

Persons wishing to become registered shareholders must present a certificate of participation<br />

in the centralised administration system and a written application to the Management Board<br />

containing not only details of the shares possessed but also personal particulars, address,<br />

citizenship and all other information and/or declarations required by law or the by-laws or<br />

requested in general by the Bank. For the purposes of admission as a registered shareholder<br />

certificates testifying to the ownership of at least 250 shares must be presented.<br />

With account taken of the provisions of the law on ‘popular’ co-operative banks, all decisions<br />

on the acceptance of applications for admission as a registered shareholder are taken by the<br />

Management Board, in consideration of the general criteria recommended by the Supervisory<br />

Board, with exclusive regard to the objective interests of the Bank, including those of its<br />

independence and autonomy and to observance of the spirit of the cooperative form. The<br />

decisions are then communicated to the parties concerned. For the purposes of assessing<br />

these requirements, account is taken of any previous relations between the persons applying<br />

and group member companies.<br />

The rejection of an application to become a registered shareholder, for those who lawfully<br />

possess shares in the Bank, has the only effect of not allowing the exercise of rights other than<br />

those which have a financial content.<br />

No reports of shareholdings greater than 2% have been received, other than those received in<br />

April 2007 at the time of the merger with <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese: Carlo Tassara Spa<br />

(2,282%), Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo (2,278%), Fondazione <strong>Banca</strong> del Monte di<br />

Lombardia (2,255%).<br />

On the basis of information received directly by the Group, at the date of this report the<br />

percentage shareholdings held are as follows:<br />

- Carlo Tassara Spa (2,004%),<br />

- Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo (2,280%)<br />

- Fondazione <strong>Banca</strong> del Monte di Lombardia (2,255%).<br />

There are no shares which confer special controlling rights over <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>.<br />

There are no share investment programmes for employees at <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> which exclude the<br />

direct exercise of voting rights.<br />

758 Report on Corporate governance


The exercise of voting rights is subject above all to acquiring the status of registered<br />

shareholder which is acquired following approval for admission by the Management Board,<br />

with enrolment in the shareholders register. Those persons in possession of the right to vote<br />

for which the communication has been made to the Bank by the intermediary appointed in<br />

accordance with Art. 2370 of the Italian Civil Code and with any special provisions of the law<br />

or regulations, at least 2 working days prior to the date set for the first session, may<br />

participate in shareholders’ meetings in accordance with the provisions of the law.<br />

Registered shareholders may not withdraw shares or the relative certification before the<br />

meeting has taken place.<br />

Only persons who have been registered shareholders for at least 90 days from the date of entry<br />

in the shareholder register may attend the shareholders’ meetings, exercise voting rights and<br />

be eligible for appointment to corporate bodies (Art. 25 of the corporate by-laws)<br />

In compliance with Art. 30 of the Consolidated Banking Act and Art. 26 of the corporate bylaws,<br />

registered shareholders have only one vote, irrespective of the number of shares held.<br />

Rights over capital and profits are in proportion to the shares owned (Art. 17 of the by-laws);<br />

nevertheless if a shareholder fails to transfer ownership of shares in excess of the 0,50% limit<br />

of the share capital within one year of the violation being reported by the Bank, the relative<br />

ownership rights maturing up to the time of the sale of the excess shares are acquired by the<br />

Bank.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has received the following communications in relation to:<br />

• the constitution, on 28 th May 2007, of an unofficial association named "Associazione<br />

<strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese" located in Brescia to which more than 100 former<br />

shareholders of the former <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese belong who were previously<br />

members of the "<strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda e Piemontese Syndicate" and who, as a result of the<br />

merger between BLP and BPU have become shareholders of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>. Together they<br />

hold approximately more than 10% of the share capital of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>. An extract of the<br />

main clauses of the by-laws of the association was published in the newspaper ItaliaOggi<br />

on 5 th June 2007;<br />

• the constitution, on 23 rd November 2007, of the unofficial association named "Gli Amici<br />

di <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>", located in Bergamo, by 28 registered shareholders of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa. An<br />

extract of the main clauses of the by-laws of the association was published in the<br />

newspaper ItaliaOggi on 30 th November 2007.<br />

While these associations do not qualify as shareholders' agreements pursuant to Article 122 of<br />

Legislative Decree No. 58/98, the members of both of them have nevertheless fulfilled public<br />

disclosure obligations as required by law in relation to some of the clauses of their by-laws,<br />

insofar as it is necessary and in view of the legally binding nature of the decree mentioned and<br />

the consequences of failure to comply with it.<br />

No authorisations exist as at the date of this report for increases in the share capital or for the<br />

issue of convertible bonds.<br />

As concerns the purchase of own shares, a shareholders’ meeting of 10 th May 2008 authorised<br />

the Management Board – until the shareholders’ meeting convened to pass resolutions for the<br />

distribution of profits for the year ended 31 st December 2008 – to purchase own shares at a<br />

price not higher than the official price or the closing price in the market session prior to each<br />

individual transaction to be charged to the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”<br />

amounting to 64.203.000,00 euro, with the further limit that the shares held as a result of<br />

trading performed do not exceed a maximum number equal to 1% of the share capital.<br />

That same shareholders’ meeting also authorised the Management Board to sell all or part of<br />

the own shares that the Bank might hold at a price not less than the official price or the<br />

closing price in the session prior to each individual sales transaction, with the understanding<br />

that the amount from the sale of the shares held returns, up until the carrying amount, to the<br />

funds held in the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”.<br />

The mandate to purchase own shares was not exercised in 2008 and in the period until the<br />

date of this report.<br />

759 Report on Corporate governance


The shareholders’ agreement signed on 18 th January 2008 by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and the Prudential<br />

USA concerning the joint venture, <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR Spa (“SGR”) grants rights to purchase<br />

to the parties (call options) if certain predetermined events occur.<br />

More specifically, in the event of a “change of control” of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> (this being understood as<br />

any operation whereby i) an entity directly or indirectly purchases more than 30% of the share<br />

capital with voting rights of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>; ii) <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> merges or performs another<br />

extraordinary operation with another legal entity and as a consequence <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> ceases to<br />

exist or the legal entity party to the operation holds more than 30% of the share capital with<br />

voting rights subsequent to the operation; iii) the sale, rent, transfer or other analogous<br />

operation by which <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> transfers all or a substantial part of its business to another<br />

legal entity), Prudential USA has the right to make a communication to <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> which<br />

allows the latter to exercise a call option on the entire investment held by Prudential USA in<br />

the SGR.<br />

If that option is not exercised, Prudential USA has, as an alternative, the right i) to purchase<br />

the entire interest held in the SGR by the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group, or an interest which allows it to<br />

hold 65% of the share capital of the SGR; ii) to give a mandate to an investment bank to sell<br />

the entire share capital of the SGR to a third party.<br />

Governing bodies of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

Shareholders’ Meetings<br />

Shareholders’ meetings, properly convened and constituted, represent the registered<br />

shareholders as a whole and their resolutions, passed in compliance with the corporate bylaws,<br />

are binding on all registered shareholders, even if absent or dissenting.<br />

Those persons in possession of the right to vote for which the communication has been made<br />

to the Bank by the intermediary appointed in accordance with Art. 2370 of the Italian Civil<br />

Code and with any special provisions of the law or regulations, at least 2 working days prior to<br />

the date set for the first session, may participate in shareholders’ meetings in accordance with<br />

the provisions of the law. Registered shareholders may not withdraw shares or the relative<br />

certification before the meeting has taken place. Only persons who have been registered<br />

shareholders for at least 90 days from the date of entry in the shareholders’ register may<br />

attend the meetings, exercise voting rights and be eligible for appointment to corporate bodies.<br />

A registered shareholder is entitled to only one vote no matter how many are shares<br />

possessed. A registered shareholder is entitled to be represented by issuing a written proxy to<br />

another registered shareholder having the right to participate in a shareholders’ meeting.<br />

Proxies may not be granted to members of governing or controlling bodies or to employees of<br />

the Bank, to companies controlled by it or to members of governing or controlling bodies or to<br />

employees of the latter.<br />

Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, of Art. 2372 of the Italian Civil Code, proxy<br />

authorisations can be issued for individual shareholders’ meetings only, with effect also for<br />

subsequent sessions, and may not be issued with the name of the representative left blank. No<br />

registered shareholder may act as proxy for more than 3 other registered shareholders. Voting<br />

by post is not permitted.<br />

Members of the Management Board and similarly members of the Supervisory Board may not<br />

vote on matters concerning their areas of responsibility. The right to vote in the case of a<br />

pledge or usufruct on shares lies with the registered shareholder only.<br />

As concerns quorums for voting, resolutions are passed in ordinary and extraordinary<br />

shareholders' meetings by an absolute majority of the votes, except for the approval of<br />

resolutions to change the company objects, eliminate or close down operational headquarters<br />

in Brescia and Bergamo, wind-up the Bank in advance as determined by events provided for<br />

by law, with the exception of the circumstance pursuant to point 6 of article 2484 of the<br />

Italian Civil Code, repeal or amend Articles 23 and 36 of the corporate by-laws and/or<br />

introduce any other provision that is incompatible with those articles, as well as to approve<br />

amendments to or the elimination of the quorums for passing resolutions contained in article<br />

28, paragraph 3, for which the vote in favour of at least one twentieth of all the registered<br />

shareholders entitled to vote is required, even in second call (article 28 of the corporate bylaws).<br />

Furthermore, the vote in favour of at least one twentieth of all shareholders entitled to vote,<br />

who in turn represent at least 20% of the subscribed and paid-up share capital as at the<br />

ninetieth day prior to the date set for a shareholders’ meeting is required, even in second call,<br />

for the approval of resolutions concerning the repeal or amendment of article 45, paragraph 6,<br />

article 48, paragraph 6 and article 49, paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 and the approval of amendments<br />

to or elimination of the quorum for passing resolutions contained in article 28, paragraph 4,<br />

(Article 28 of the corporate by-laws).<br />

Finally, for resolutions to be passed at the request of the Banking Supervisory Authority or in<br />

relation to changes to regulations or legislation, both ordinary and extraordinary shareholders'<br />

meetings pass resolutions by an absolute majority vote. In these cases, where the Supervisory<br />

Board is empowered to approve them, they are passed by an absolute majority of the members<br />

present (Article 28 of the corporate by-laws).<br />

As concerns proceedings in shareholders' meetings, the Bank has adopted regulations for<br />

shareholders' meetings based on standard regulations recommended by the Italian Banking<br />

Assocation and Assomine (association of joint stock companies) designed to govern the ordered<br />

763 Report on Corporate governance


and efficient functioning of meetings and to ensure that each registered shareholder has the<br />

right to speak on the items on the agenda.<br />

These regulations have also been published on the Bank's website in the corporate governance<br />

section and in the shareholders’ section.<br />

Supervisory Board<br />

APPOINTMENT AND COMPOSITION<br />

The Supervisory Board is composed of 23 members appointed by a shareholders' meeting<br />

chosen from among those registered shareholders possessing the necessary qualities, namely<br />

integrity, professionalism and independence as required by the legislation in force. At least 15<br />

of the members of the Supervisory Board must be in possession of the requirements of<br />

professionalism required by the legislation currently in force for persons who perform<br />

functions as directors of banks.<br />

In particular, at least 3 members of the Supervisory Board must be chosen from among<br />

persons enrolled in the Registro dei Revisori Contabili (register of auditors) who have practised<br />

as legal certifiers of accounts for a period of not less than three years.<br />

While mandatory provisions of the law, of the Supervisory authority or regulations must be<br />

complied with, persons already holding offices of full statutory auditor or members of other<br />

controlling bodies in more than five listed companies and/or their parent companies or<br />

subsidiaries cannot hold office as a member of the Supervisory Board. If the cause of<br />

incompatibility just mentioned is not eliminated within 60 days of election or of<br />

communication of the fact to the person concerned, if it occurs subsequently, the member of<br />

the board is automatically removed from the position.<br />

Members of the Supervisory Board are elected by a shareholders' meeting on the basis of lists<br />

in accordance with the terms and procedures contained in article 45 of the corporate by-laws.<br />

In accordance with the transition regulation V contained in the corporate by-laws, a meeting of<br />

the shareholders of BPU <strong>Banca</strong> held on 3 rd March 2007 appointed the first Supervisory Board<br />

of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> for the years 2007/2008/2009. It appointed Gino Trombi as Chairman and<br />

Giuseppe Calvi as Senior Deputy Chairman. These appointments became effective on 1 st April<br />

2007, the date on which the merger of <strong>Banca</strong> Lombarda into BPU <strong>Banca</strong> became legally<br />

effective.<br />

Following the resignations of two members of the Supervisory Board, Franco Polotti and<br />

Pierfrancesco Rampinelli, on 5 th May 2007 a shareholders’ meeting of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> replaced<br />

them by appointing Alberto Folonari and Giovanni Bazoli to the board.<br />

In compliance with the provisions of Article 44 of the corporate by-laws, the Supervisory Board<br />

appointed 2 Deputy Chairmen - Alberto Folonari and Mario Mazzoleni - and it also appointed<br />

Federico Manzoni as secretary of the board.<br />

Following the resignations of the Chairman Gino Trombi and of the board member Romain<br />

Zaleski, a meeting of the shareholders held on 10 th May 2008 appointed Corrado Faissola as<br />

Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Battista Albertani as a member of that board.<br />

The Supervisory Board is therefore currently composed as follows:<br />

Faissola Corrado<br />

Calvi Giuseppe<br />

Folonari Alberto<br />

Mazzoleni Mario<br />

Albertani Battista<br />

Bazoli Giovanni<br />

It has been verified in this respect that the members of the Supervisory Board are in<br />

possession of the legal requirements to hold their positions.<br />

The curricula vitae of the Chairman and of the Senior Deputy Chairman are available on the<br />

website of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, while attachment A) lists the offices held by all board members in<br />

companies listed on regulated markets, including foreign regulated markets, and in finance,<br />

banking, insurance or large companies.<br />

REMUNERATION<br />

In addition to the reimbursement of expenses incurred in performing their duties in office,<br />

members of the Supervisory Board also receive remuneration determined for the entire period<br />

of office by a shareholders’ meeting at the time of their appointment. They are also assigned<br />

tokens for attendance at meetings of the Supervisory Board and also at meetings of<br />

commissions and committees formed by the Supervisory Board itself in the amount<br />

established by a shareholders’ meeting.<br />

Furthermore, in compliance with the corporate by-laws, after first consulting with the<br />

Remuneration Committee, the Supervisory Board sets the remuneration for the Chairman, the<br />

Senior Deputy Chairman, the Deputy Chairmen and the members of the Supervisory Board<br />

who have been assigned special duties, powers or functions.<br />

The relative amounts are reported in detail in the table prepared in accordance with Art. 78 of<br />

Consob Resolution No. 11797/1999 and also in the notes to the financial statements for the<br />

year ended 31.12.2008 which may be consulted.<br />

In this respect, in March 2009 the Supervisory Board decided, with the agreement of all its<br />

members, to reduce its total fixed remuneration by 20% for its last year of office in order to<br />

demonstrate its awareness of the economic and financial crisis that had hit the country and to<br />

signal its concern to those who had been hit either directly or indirectly by that crisis.<br />

INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBERS<br />

The Supervisory Board has verified that all the members of the Supervisory Board in office are<br />

in possession of the requirements of independence in compliance with current law and the<br />

corporate governance code for listed companies.<br />

FUNCTIONS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD<br />

The functions of the Supervisory Board are set out in article 46 of the corporate by-laws,<br />

according to which the board:<br />

a) on the basis of proposals from the Appointments Committee, appoints and removes the<br />

766 Report on Corporate governance


CHAIRMAN<br />

The duties of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board are listed in article 47 of the corporate<br />

by-laws. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board convenes – on his own initiative and, in any<br />

event, in the cases prescribed by law or the corporate by-laws – and chairs the meetings of the<br />

board itself, setting the agendas. He also considers proposals submitted by the Senior Deputy<br />

Chairman and the other Deputy Chairmen and ensures that adequate information on the<br />

matters on the agenda is provided to all the members of the Supervisory Board.<br />

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board maintains regular contacts with the Management<br />

Board, particularly through the Chairman and/or the Deputy Chairman of the Management<br />

Board and/or the Chief Executive Officer and ensures that the Supervisory Board is<br />

constantly informed of the performance of the Bank and the Group.<br />

770 Report on Corporate governance

The curricula vitae of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer are<br />

available on the website of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, while attachment B) lists the positions held by all the<br />

board members in companies listed in regulated markets, including foreign markets, and in<br />

financial, banking, insurance or large companies. The Management Board is appointed for<br />

three financial years, expiring on the date of the Supervisory Board meeting convened to<br />

approve the financial statements for 2009. It has been verified in this respect that the<br />

members of the Management Board are in possession of the legal requirements to hold their<br />

positions.<br />

As a general rule and with the exception of resolutions that must be passed by a qualified<br />

majority, the attendance of more than half the members in office is required for meetings of<br />

the Management Board to be valid.<br />

REMUNERATION<br />

In compliance with the corporate by-laws, after first consulting with the Remuneration<br />

Committee, the Supervisory Board sets the remuneration of the Management Board and of its<br />

members to whom special offices, duties or powers have been assigned.<br />

The relative amounts are reported in detail in the table prepared in accordance with Art. 78 of<br />

Consob Resolution No. 11797/1999 and also in the notes to the financial statements for the<br />

year ended 31.12.2008 which may be consulted.<br />

The remuneration of the members of the Management Board is not linked to the operating<br />

results achieved by the Bank.<br />

As concerns the current Chief Executive Officer, as the highest ranking executive officer of the<br />

Bank a part of his remuneration is variable, determined on the basis of criteria set for all<br />

senior executives.<br />

No-one is the beneficiary of share-based incentive plans.<br />

In March 2009 the Management Board decided to reduce their fixed remuneration by 20%<br />

from 1 st January 2009, on similar grounds to those which motivated the members of the<br />

Supervisory Board. Furthermore, the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Management<br />

Board in particular decided to reduce their remuneration for their positions by 50%.<br />

EXECUTIVE AND NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS<br />

In compliance with instructions issued by the Bank of Italy on the organisation and corporate<br />

governance of banks the Management Board consists mainly of executive members, consistent<br />

with the function of strategic supervision assigned to the Supervisory Board (see the details<br />

provided in summary table No. 2).<br />

The members of the Management Board are in fact actively involved in the management of the<br />

Bank in compliance with policies approved by the Supervisory Board and submitted to it by<br />

the Management Board itself, which as specifically required by the corporate by-laws performs<br />

its main activities exclusively on a collegial basis with no powers to delegate authority.<br />

In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the corporate by-laws (article 39) also assign powers<br />

and functions to the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman which underline their involvement<br />

in the management of the Bank.<br />

771 Report on Corporate governance


The management commitments and responsibilities of the executive board members apply not<br />

only to the sphere of the Management Board, but also at Group level by appointments to<br />

positions in the governing bodies of the main subsidiaries of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>. This actively helps to<br />

ensure that the various member companies of the Group comply with instructions issued by<br />

the Parent Bank in the exercise of its activities of management and co-ordination.<br />

whom powers are to be granted must be performed on the basis of a proposal from the<br />

Supervisory Board, decided in turn, subject to prior designation by the Appointments<br />

Committee.<br />

In a meeting held on 27 th November 2008, the Management Board, in compliance with the<br />

corporate by-laws, conferred the following powers on the Chief Executive Officer:<br />

- to supervise the management of the Bank and of the Group;<br />

Group;<br />

- to oversee the integration of the new Group, consulting and involving the Deputy Chairman<br />

and the Management Board;<br />

- to submit management policies, the business and strategic plan and the budget to the<br />

Management Board and to supervise their implementation through the General<br />

Management;<br />

- to propose budgetary policy and policies on the optimisation of the use and enhancement of<br />

human resources and to submit financial statements and periodic financial reports to the<br />

Management Board for approval;<br />

- to propose appointments to the senior operational and executive management of the Group<br />

to the Management Board, in agreement with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the<br />

Management Board and after consultation with the General Manager;<br />

- to promote integrated risk management.<br />

The Chief Executive Officer reports quarterly to the Management Board and to the Supervisory<br />

Board on operating performance and foreseeable developments and on the most important<br />

transactions performed by the company and its subsidiaries. He also reports monthly to the<br />

Management Board and at least every 60 days to the Supervisory Board on the main<br />

accounting results of the Bank, its main subsidiaries and the Group.<br />

Board Member Appointed to Supervise the System of Internal Control<br />

On 15 th June 2007 the Management Board appointed Alfredo Gusmini as the Internal Control<br />

Officer responsible for supervising the functions of the internal control system, conferring<br />

powers on him and assigning functions to him in compliance with article 43-bis of the<br />

corporate by-laws.<br />

Board of Arbitrators<br />

The Board of Arbitrators consists of a Chairman, two full members and two alternate<br />

members, elected by a shareholders' meeting from amongst the registered shareholders of the<br />

Bank or others.<br />

The Board of Arbitrators is composed as follows:<br />

Donati Giampiero<br />

Caffi Mario<br />

Lega Giovanni<br />

Rota Attilio<br />

Usuelli Emilio<br />

Chairman<br />

Full member<br />

Full member<br />

Alternate member<br />

Alternate member<br />

The arbitrators remain in office for three years and may be re-elected. The current board of<br />

arbitrators will conclude its mandate on the date of the shareholders' meeting called to<br />

approve the financial statements for 2008.<br />

Arbitrators provide their services free of charge, except for the reimbursement of expenses.<br />

774 Report on Corporate governance


If a full arbitrator vacates his position during his three year period of office he is replaced by<br />

the most senior alternate member by age. If the chairman of the arbitrators vacates his<br />

position, the chairmanship is taken by the most senior full arbitrator by age for the remainder<br />

of the three year period.<br />

Appeal may be made to the Board of Arbitrators to settle any disputes that may arise between<br />

the Bank and/or registered shareholders over the interpretation or application of the corporate<br />

by-laws and over any other resolutions or decision taken by the governing bodies of the Bank<br />

concerning its business. It decides as a friendly arbiter by absolute majority vote. Without<br />

prejudice to the legislation and regulations currently in force, application to the Board of<br />

Arbitrators is not compulsory. Its decisions are not binding on the parties and do not<br />

constitute a hindrance to taking disputes before the courts or any other any authority with<br />

jurisdiction for settlement. The Board of Arbitrators regulates its own proceedings as it deems<br />

appropriate without being bound by procedural formalities. The Management Board and the<br />

General Manager or an employee designated by him are required to provide the arbitrators<br />

with all the information that they may request concerning dispute to be settled.<br />

General Management<br />

According to the by-laws, the Management Board appoints a General Manager and a Joint<br />

General Manager and it may also appoint one or more Deputy General Managers, on the basis<br />

of the organisation chart drawn up by the Management Board itself, which determines their<br />

powers and functions.<br />

In a meeting held on 27 th November 2008, after dr. Victor Massiah took up his position as Chief<br />

Executive Officer and consequently resigned from his position as General Manager, in<br />

compliance with the corporate by-laws, the Management Board appointed rag. Riccardo Sora as<br />

775 Report on Corporate governance


Administration and Tax Area – as the Financial Reporting Officer pursuant to Article 154-bis<br />

of the Consolidated Finance Act.<br />

The following responsibilities have been conferred on that senior manager:<br />

- to certify that market disclosures together with the related financial reports, including<br />

interim reports, are reliably based on the records contained in corporate documents and<br />

accounting records;<br />

- to put adequate administrative and accounting procedures in place for the preparation of<br />

financial reports and other financial disclosures;<br />

- to certify – jointly with the Chief Executive Officer, by means of a specific report, attached<br />

to the separate financial statements, to the consolidated financial statements and to halfyear<br />

reports – the appropriateness and effective application in the relative period of the<br />

procedures just mentioned and that the disclosures correspond to the records contained in<br />

the corporate accounting documents and records and provide a true and fair view of the<br />

capital, operating and financial position of the Bank and the Group.<br />

The system of internal control<br />

The system of internal control is a set of rules, procedures and organisational units designed<br />

to enable the business of the Bank to be performed in a healthy and proper manner consistent<br />

with its objectives by means of an appropriate process of identifying, measuring, managing<br />

and monitoring the principal risks. As such it constitutes an essential part of the corporate<br />

governance system of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and the companies of the Group.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has adopted an internal control system which, in compliance with the principles of<br />

the corporate governance code, with instructions issued by the Bank of Italy and with the bylaws<br />

of the Bank, assigns functions and responsibilities to the various officers who, in<br />

constant consultation with each other and supported also by regular information flows,<br />

contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system of control itself.<br />

The process of assessing the internal control system and verifying its adequacy and effective<br />

functioning form part of the responsibilities of the corporate bodies which fulfil strategic<br />

supervision management and control functions. In order to accomplish this, the Supervisory<br />

Board makes use of the Internal Control Committee which it forms directly itself (the<br />

composition, powers and functioning of the Internal Control Committee have already been<br />

examined in this report in the section specifically on that committee). The Management Board<br />

has appointed an executive member from amongst its members with responsibility for<br />

supervising the functioning of the internal control system.<br />

The senior management have approved a document containing the "Principles for the<br />

organisation of the internal control system of the <strong>UBI</strong> Group", designed to favour the most<br />

appropriate organisation of the internal control system of the Bank and the Group. These<br />

principles are designed for application on a permanent basis to all Group member companies<br />

and constitute a point of reference for the definition and implementation of all the<br />

components of the system of internal control.<br />

The main contents of the principles can be summarised as follows:<br />

- a systemic vision of governance and control designed to achieve high levels of effectiveness<br />

and efficiency avoiding overlap and/or gaps in control mechanisms and risk management;<br />

- consistency in the organisation processes of the Bank and the Group which, based on the<br />

Group’s mission, identifies values, defines objectives and pinpoints risks which hinder their<br />

achievement and implements appropriate responses;<br />

- compliance with legislation and regulations, even before they become compulsory, as a<br />

distinguishing feature and key factor of success for enhancing customer relations and,<br />

lastly, creating value for all stakeholders.<br />

The senior management of the Bank has also formulated specific risk management policies<br />

that apply to the Group operations.<br />

The responsibilities for internal controls of various roles in the Bank are identified within the<br />

context of those policies, as follows:<br />

776 Report on Corporate governance


• line controls (first level), the responsibility of the managers of organisational or process<br />

units;<br />

• controls on risks (second level), the responsibility of specialist functions (Risk<br />

Management, Risk Capital & Policies, Compliance, Operational Control and CFO), whose<br />

objectives are to assist in the definition of risk measurement methods, to verify<br />

compliance with limits assigned to different operating functions and to verify that the<br />

operations of single production areas are consistent with the risk-yield objectives set for<br />

them;<br />

• internal audit (third level), performed by the Parent bank and Group Audit Area.<br />

The first two types of control (first and second level), not only satisfy the requirements for<br />

reporting to supervisory body, but are also closely related on a practical level to the daily<br />

exercise of their responsibilities in relation to internal controls by the management body and<br />

the general management.<br />

More specifically, those responsible for second level controls are required to continuously<br />

identify, prevent and measure risk situations by adopting appropriate valuation models and to<br />

assist in the formulation of risk assumption and management policies with regard, amongst<br />

other things, to the maximum limits on exposure to them. Adequate reporting is made to the<br />

Supervisory Board, the Management Board and the General Management on current and<br />

future exposure to risk which also includes a special tableau de bord useful, amongst other<br />

things, for monitoring and assessing the system of internal controls.<br />

With regard to compliance controls, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> created a special function named “Compliance<br />

Staff”, which is on the staff of the General Manager and reports directly to him, in order to<br />

implement supervisory instructions issued by Bank of Italy in July 2007, which implemented<br />

standards set by the Basel Committee on this matter.<br />

In implementation of directives proposed by the Management Board and issued by the<br />

Supervisory Board by means of a special “compliance policy", the compliance staff diffuses<br />

these and supervises implementation of them.<br />

The regulatory functions of the Compliance Staff also include management of the risk of non<br />

compliance with regulations, whether these are of a generic external nature (laws, supervisory<br />

regulations – the Bank of Italy, Consob – Italian securities market authority – etc.) or a self<br />

regulatory nature (codes of conduct, internal regulations, etc.). The objectives are as follows:<br />

• to guarantee compliance with regulations by corporate processes and therefore<br />

appropriate conduct by all staff;<br />

• to guarantee that customers and investors interests are safeguarded;<br />

• to co-operate in the policy to establish relations of trust with all stakeholders;<br />

• to manage compliance processes across the Bank and the Group on a centralised basis,<br />

by introducing functional reporting to benefit from the co-operation of specialist<br />

functions (legal, organisational, risk management, IT, human resources, etc.) available at<br />

the Parent Bank and in different Group member companies and also from the cooperation<br />

of local liaison and compliance officers where present in the network banks<br />

and other Group member companies.<br />

In compliance with joint Bank of Italy - Consob Regulations issued on 29 th October 2007, this<br />

function is also responsible for compliance controls with regard to the adequacy and<br />

effectiveness of the procedures adopted for providing investment services.<br />

The purpose of the internal audit function (third level) is to make an independent assessment<br />

of the organisation and functioning of the system of internal control or parts of it in support of<br />

senior management in its responsibilities. The mission of the Parent bank and Group Audit<br />

Area, to which the Internal Audit Area belongs, can be summarised very briefly as to<br />

systematically monitor the adequacy of risk controls at group level, to assess the functioning<br />

of the Group internal control system and to help to improve it (in terms of effectiveness and<br />

efficiency).<br />

The internal audit function reports to the Supervisory Board through the Internal Control<br />

Committee.<br />

The head of the internal audit function also fulfils the role of internal control officer,<br />

responsible for verifying that the internal control system is adequate, fully operative and<br />

functioning at all times. He also reports on his work to the Supervisory Board through the<br />

Internal Control Committee and to the Management Board through the executive member<br />

responsible for supervising the functioning of the internal control system. More specifically, he<br />

reports on the procedures by which risk management is performed and on compliance with<br />

777 Report on Corporate governance


plans formulated to limit risk and expresses an opinion on the appropriateness of the internal<br />

control system to ensure compliance with risk policies set by senior management.<br />

In relation to the internal control system of the Bank and the Group, a general description of<br />

which has just been given, to the reports of the units of the Bank responsible for risk controls<br />

and to the independent opinion expressed by the internal audit function on the internal control<br />

system and with account taken of the intense activity in progress to complete the process of<br />

Group integration and of the recent changes in the regulatory context, an opinion of substantial<br />

adequacy is expressed on the organisation and the functioning of the internal control system.<br />

Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to<br />

Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 and the relative Supervisory<br />

Body<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has put in place its own organisational, management and control model pursuant<br />

to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, with a resolution of the Management Board passed on 6 th<br />

November 2007 and of the Supervisory Board on 19 th December 2007. <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>'s “231”<br />

Model is set out in the "Document describing the organisational, management and control<br />

model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01" and is composed of:<br />

• a general part outlining the legislative framework, the components of the Bank's<br />

governance model and the organisational structure, the composition and characteristics<br />

of the Supervisory Body, the disciplinary system, the training and communication plan<br />

and the criteria for updating and modifying the model;<br />

• a special part, which associates each type of offence (relating to the administrative<br />

liability of entities) with one or more "sensitive activities" that may be present in<br />

corporate operations and prescribes specific "control standards/protocols" which must<br />

be observed in the management of those operations.<br />

In that same meeting of 6 th November 2007, the Management Board of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> also decided<br />

to implement initiatives required to ensure standard compliance with Legislative Decree No.<br />

231/2001 at Group level. Consequently, a specific Group project was commenced in 2008<br />

consisting of two modules.<br />

The first module of the project is designed to update and add to the “document describing the<br />

model” of the Parent Bank and its subsidiaries, in relation to:<br />

• changes to regulations that have occurred since the date of the adoption of the previous<br />

version of the “model”;<br />

• corporate and internal organisational changes as a result of the merger between the two<br />

former Groups, BPU and BL.<br />

Completion of this module is scheduled for before the end to the first quarter of 2009.<br />

The second module of the project, which will commence on completion of the update of the<br />

models, involves action designed to implement “control standards” in the organisational,<br />

regulatory and operational systems of each individual company. In this respect some<br />

preparatory work for the second module has already been commenced as part of the<br />

“processes programme”, such as for example on the governance framework for corporate<br />

processes and controls, the development of standard documentation for a “pilot process” and<br />

modification to the target instrument for mapping processes.<br />

Furthermore, study commenced within the Group during the current year on decisions made<br />

concerning the Supervisory Body pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/01, dictated by a<br />

series of factors including the continuous increase in the number of types of “presumed<br />

offence” with liability of the entities; the dictates of sector guidelines; the considerable<br />

organisational complexity and size of the <strong>UBI</strong> Group; the debate on the role of the compliance<br />

function and its level within the internal control system of the <strong>UBI</strong> Group.<br />

778 Report on Corporate governance


These reflections led the Management Board and the Supervisory Board to take decisions on<br />

the improved organisation of the 231 Supervisory Body of the Parent Bank and its<br />

subsidiaries. More specifically, on 25 th November 2008 the Management Board implemented<br />

recommendations of the Supervisory Board, by passing resolutions to:<br />

• appoint a new Supervisory Body for <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> pursuant to Legislative Decree No.<br />

231/2001 composed, as from 1 st January 2009, of two members of the Management<br />

Board, the acting chief of the Legal Affairs Area, the acting chief of the Compliance<br />

Function and an external professional and the dissolution on the same date of the<br />

Supervisory Body existing until 31 st December 2008 (appointed by resolutions of the<br />

Management Board of 13 th July 2007 and 31 st July 2007);<br />

• make recommendations to subsidiaries concerning the composition of their supervisory<br />

bodies as follows:<br />

o network banks and “major” companies: collegial body with three members, consisting<br />

of a member of the board of directors, a professional expert in the field and the<br />

compliance officer/contact;<br />

o Group member companies with less organisational complexity: a single member<br />

body, leaving individual companies free to appoint a member of the board of directors<br />

or a compliance officer/contact, where one exists.<br />

Finally, in compliance with the requirements under <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>’s 231 model concerning<br />

relations with corporate bodies whereby the Supervisory Body is required to report on an equal<br />

basis to the Supervisory Board and to the Management Board, the Supervisory Body made<br />

reports to the corporate bodies on its activities with particular reference to its duties regarding<br />

the implementation of the model.<br />

Related party transactions<br />

The Bank pays particular attention when performing transactions with related parties to<br />

ensure they are carried out properly both in form and substance.<br />

More specifically, the Management Board is obliged to specifically approve those transactions<br />

with related parties that are atypical, unusual or capable of having a significant effect on the<br />

assets of the Bank.<br />

The Bank has put special procedures in place for monitoring, reporting and taking decisions<br />

on related party transactions.<br />

In addition to transactions already reserved by law or by the corporate by-laws exclusively to<br />

the authority of the Management Board, transactions to be performed with “related parties”<br />

must also be subject to prior authorisation by the board itself, including intragroup<br />

transactions, of significant operating, capital and financial importance, such as for example:<br />

• the purchase and sale of properties;<br />

• the purchase and sale of equity investments (even if they do not give rise to changes in<br />

the banking Group), companies or lines of business;<br />

• partnerships or joint venture agreements;<br />

• transactions of a financial or commercial nature, with an economic value of greater than<br />

10 million euro, provided that they are not normal transactions, i.e. part of the normal<br />

business of the Bank concluded under normal market terms and contractual conditions<br />

practised with customers;<br />

• multi-year general agreements for the provision of intragroup services;<br />

• the grant to Companies in the banking Group of:<br />

(i) credit lines that are not destined to support the subsidiary’s normal business;<br />

subordinated loans and other subordinated assets, that are eligible for inclusion in<br />

the subsidiary’s supervisory capital, if the amount exceeds 25% of the tier 1 capital<br />

of each company;<br />

(ii) loans and guarantees, directly or indirectly connected with acquisitions of control in<br />

other companies or interventions on share capital (payments for future increases in<br />

779 Report on Corporate governance


share capital, replenishment of losses, etc.), unless the credit granted is<br />

instrumental to transactions already authorised by the competent bodies of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong>;<br />

• the grant to related parties that are not members of the banking Group of credit lines for<br />

an amount exceeding 2,5% of the supervisory capital;<br />

• transactions with related parties that are classified as "impaired”, "non-performing",<br />

"being restructured" or "restructured".<br />

Transactions with "related parties" other than those just mentioned performed by authorised<br />

bodies or organisational units and not forming part of normal business performed under<br />

standard conditions, must be subject to periodic reports to the Management Board, when they<br />

involve a significant amount.<br />

At the same time, transactions with representatives of the bank, with representatives of Group<br />

member companies and with companies controlled by them – all of whom may qualify as<br />

related parties – are conducted under normal market conditions and the provisions of Article<br />

136 of Legislative Decree 385/1993 (Consolidated Banking Act) are carefully complied with.<br />

Treatment of confidential information<br />

The Management Board has approved the guidelines for procedures for managing privileged<br />

information to be disclosed to the public and for managing the register of persons with access<br />

to privileged information. A procedure has been developed for that purpose, to draw up<br />

security measures to be adopted designed to guarantee maximum confidentiality of<br />

information and to define the procedures for handling and disclosing privileged information.<br />

More specifically, these procedures govern how privileged information that relates directly to<br />

the Bank or its subsidiaries is disclosed to the public and at the same time it issues<br />

instructions to subsidiaries for them to promptly provide the Bank with the information<br />

required to fulfil disclosure obligations required by law.<br />

In compliance with article 115-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act, the Bank has set up a<br />

register of persons who, on a permanent or occasional basis, have access to privileged<br />

information directly concerning the issuer.<br />

This register is managed in the name of and on behalf of the Group member companies that<br />

have delegated the responsibility for keeping and maintaining their register to the Parent<br />

Bank.<br />

Internal Dealing<br />

In implementation of laws in force, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has drawn up specific Internal Dealing<br />

Regulations designed to modify internal regulations and procedures to comply with legislation<br />

and regulations governing disclosure obligations concerning transactions involving financial<br />

instruments issued by the issuer or other related financial instruments performed by<br />

significant persons and/or by persons closely connected with the latter, in order to ensure the<br />

necessary transparency and uniformity with regard to the market.<br />

These regulations not only identify "significant persons", establishing their obligations in terms<br />

of conduct and reporting, and the "officer responsible" for receiving, managing and disclosing<br />

information, but they also forbid the performance of the transactions mentioned in the 20<br />

days prior to meetings of the Management Board convened to approve financial statements,<br />

half year reports and the quarterly reports.<br />

In accordance with the regulations adopted by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, the following are significant<br />

persons:<br />

1) members of the Supervisory Board of Unione di Banche Italiane;<br />

2) members of the Management Board of Unione di Banche Italiane;<br />

3) persons who perform management functions and senior managers who have regular access<br />

to privileged information and hold the power to make operational decisions that may affect<br />

780 Report on Corporate governance


performance and future prospects: the General Manager, the Joint General Manager, the<br />

Deputy General Managers and the Senior Manager responsible for the preparation of the<br />

financial reports of Unione di Banche Italiane.<br />

These regulations have been published on the Bank's website in the corporate governance<br />

section; furthermore, in compliance with specific Consob recommendations, a special section<br />

has been created, in which all reports of transactions notified by significant persons are<br />

published, after they have been disclosed to markets and to the Consob through the Borsa<br />

Italiana network information service.<br />

Relations with Shareholders, Institutional Investors and the<br />

Financial Community<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> plays particular attention to the continuous management of relations with<br />

shareholders, institutional investors and members of the national and international financial<br />

community and it guarantees systematic disclosure of reliable, exhaustive and timely<br />

information on the Group's activities, results and strategies.<br />

A Registered Shareholders Service and an investor relations staff have been established for<br />

this purpose.<br />

The registered shareholders’ service is responsible for all relations with the Bank’s registered<br />

shareholders and it processes applications for admission as registered shareholders,<br />

maintains the shareholders’ register up-to-date and proposes and co-ordinates the various<br />

initiatives offered for them.<br />

The Bank has created the Value Project for registered shareholders, a set of banking<br />

concessions and free of charge insurance policies. The banking concessions are reserved to<br />

those registered shareholders who hold a current account and have shares in the Bank<br />

deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance policies are for registered<br />

shareholders in general.<br />

The Investor Relations Staff is responsible for relations with the financial community<br />

(institutional investors and financial analysts), which may also require bringing specific<br />

functions in the Bank and the Group into play, in accordance with policies set by the senior<br />

management of the Bank.<br />

The investor relations officer guarantees clear, prompt and full reporting, using methods<br />

which include press releases and the use of the Bank’s internet portal. A total of 64 price<br />

sensitive press releases were published in 2008 in accordance with current regulations and<br />

legislation.<br />

Auditing of accounts<br />

As a listed company, by law the auditing of the accounts of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> must be performed<br />

exclusively by independent auditors responsible for verifying during the financial year that the<br />

accounts have been properly kept and that operating events have been correctly recorded in<br />

the accounting records. They are also responsible for ascertaining that the separate financial<br />

statements and the consolidated financial statements are reliably based on the accounting<br />

records as results from inspections performed and that those accounting records comply with<br />

the regulations governing them. The independent auditors publish a special report in which<br />

they give their opinion on the separate financial statements, on the consolidated financial<br />

statements and on the half year report<br />

The independent auditors currently appointed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> are KPMG Spa, whose<br />

assignment will expire on the date of the shareholders' meeting to approve the financial<br />

statements for the year 2011.<br />

The auditors are appointed by a shareholders' meeting on the basis of a detailed proposal<br />

submitted to it by the Supervisory Board.<br />

791 Report on Corporate Governance


<strong>REPORT</strong> OF<br />

SUPERVISORY BOARD TO<br />

THE SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING<br />

in compliance with Art.153, paragraph 1<br />

of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 th February 1998<br />

and Art. 46, paragraph 1, letter i) of the corporate by-laws


Dear Shareholders,<br />

This report to the shareholders has been prepared in accordance with Art. 153 of Legislative<br />

Decree No. 58 of 24 th February 1998 (Consolidated Finance Act) and Art. 46 paragraph 1,<br />

letter i) of the corporate by-laws, on the supervisory activities performed by the Supervisory<br />

Board, on omissions and reprehensible actions observed and in relation to matters which this<br />

board considers as falling within its sphere of responsibilities relating to the financial year<br />

ended 31 st December 2008.<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has adopted a two tier system of management and control, which is considered<br />

better suited to the governance requirements of the Parent Bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, and at the same<br />

time as providing stronger protection for registered and unregistered shareholders, especially<br />

through the activity of the Supervisory Board, a body appointed directly by the registered<br />

shareholders and representing them.<br />

The distinguishing features of the two tier system lie in the distinction between<br />

<br />

<br />

strategic supervision and control functions, which are assigned to the Supervisory Board,<br />

which holds some of the powers typical of a shareholders' meeting in a traditional system<br />

(approval of financial statements, appointment of the members of the management body<br />

and determination of the relative remuneration) and also of a board of statutory auditors.<br />

It also fulfils some "senior management" functions, insofar as it is called upon to approve<br />

general guidelines and strategic policies for the Bank and the Group, submitted to it by<br />

the Management Board;<br />

the corporate management functions, assigned to the Management Board, which has<br />

exclusive authority to perform all ordinary and extraordinary operations necessary to the<br />

pursuit of the company objects, in compliance with the general guidelines and strategic<br />

policies approved by the Supervisory Board.<br />

This division of functions identifies distinct aspects of the operational life of the Bank and<br />

assigns them to the corporate bodies just mentioned which, with their respective roles and<br />

responsibilities, determine a corporate governance model that is more consistent with the<br />

structure of the Bank and the Group in the context of a single business plan, characterised by<br />

ongoing dialogue and inter-functional co-operation.<br />

The annual report on corporate governance – attached to the 2008 Annual Report – provides<br />

more detailed information on the two tier system of corporate governance adopted.<br />

***<br />

The Supervisory Board has authorised the Management Board to submit proposals for<br />

amendments to the corporate by-laws which are on the agenda of the shareholders’<br />

meeting.<br />

Those amendments to the corporate by-laws are attributable mainly to the need for the<br />

corporate by-laws to comply with the rules introduced by the “Supervisory provisions on the<br />

organisation and corporate governance of Banks” of 4 th March 2008. In this context the<br />

amendments mainly concern the following matters:<br />

i) procedures for the appointment, removal and substitution of members of the Supervisory<br />

Board, with provisions for greater representation of candidates from minority lists;<br />

ii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to determine the total remuneration of members<br />

of the Supervisory Board, including therefore those with particular appointments, powers<br />

or functions;<br />

iii) powers granted to shareholders’ meetings to approve remuneration policies for members of<br />

the Management Board and remuneration and/or incentive schemes based on financial<br />

instruments;<br />

iv) the criteria for distributing remuneration among the members of the Supervisory Board;<br />

v) more precise identification and distinction of the duties and responsibilities of the<br />

Management Board and of the Supervisory Board, regarding in particular:<br />

- powers conferred on the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chairman of<br />

the Supervisory Board;<br />

- powers attributable to bodies delegated by the Management Board;<br />

793 Report of the Supervisory Board


- strategic operations reserved to the Supervisory Board;<br />

vi) participation in Management Board meetings by members of the internal control<br />

committee;<br />

vii) the elimination of transition regulations, because they are now obsolete.<br />

Finally amendments of a formal nature are proposed or in any case designed to introduce a<br />

more precise definition to the by-laws.<br />

***<br />

As concerns the strategic supervisory function assigned to the Supervisory Board, the first<br />

full year of operations of the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group took place in a particularly complex operating<br />

context, both because of the integration process in progress and because of the deterioration<br />

of the macroeconomic background. This was initially limited to financial markets, the<br />

instruments traded on them and operators in the sector, but then extended to affect the real<br />

economy and domestic and international production.<br />

The Group reacted to the difficulties triggered by the macroeconomic scenario by putting<br />

forward the completion of the main integration processes defined in the Integration Business<br />

Plan approved by this board in June 2007.<br />

In consideration of the continued climate of uncertainty, which makes it difficult to identify a<br />

scenario that is sufficiently stable and clear to serve as the basis for the construction of a<br />

multi-year plan, the update of the Business Plan will not be completed before the second half<br />

of the year.<br />

As concerns the control function and issues concerning risk policies and the related<br />

organisational aspects in particular, the Supervisory Board verified that the Group possessed<br />

advanced and fully effective systems for the management of risk.<br />

The Supervisory Board approved a proposal submitted by the Management Board to adopt<br />

internal risk measurement systems for determining capital requirements with particular<br />

reference to the approval of the choice of system considered appropriate and of the relative<br />

project for the formulation and implementation of that system, including the relative<br />

implementation time schedules and planned investments.<br />

With regard to Basel 2 and in compliance with the “new prudential supervisory provisions for<br />

banks” (Bank of Italy Circular No. 263/2006), the <strong>UBI</strong> Group has put a process in place to<br />

calculate its total capital adequacy requirement – for the present and the future – to meet all<br />

significant risks to which the Group is or might be exposed on the basis of its operations ( the<br />

ICAAP process).<br />

In consideration of its mission and the operations of the <strong>UBI</strong> Group and also the market<br />

context in which it operates, the risks to be subjected to measurement in the ICAAP<br />

assessment process were identified and divided into first pillar and second pillar risks as<br />

required by the relative regulations.<br />

More specifically, with regard to the second pillar, in October 2008 the Supervisory Board<br />

approved a simplified ICAAP report submitted to it by the Management Board in compliance<br />

with prudential supervisory regulations.<br />

The <strong>UBI</strong> Group then filed its first ICAAP report with the Bank of Italy for the situation as at<br />

30 th June 2008. The report was prepared in simplified form in accordance with regulations,<br />

with an assessment of internal capital for first pillar risks and of interest rate and<br />

concentration risks for second pillar risks.<br />

A full ICAAP report is to be filed with the supervisory authority in April 2009, which will<br />

include first pillar risks, second pillar risks specified by regulations and risks identified<br />

independently by the Group.<br />

The Group plans to gradually evolve towards a technically more complex class 1 ICAAP<br />

process, which will come into operation in the first half of 2010, once authorisations have been<br />

obtained for the use of internal models. The objective of submitting an application to the Bank<br />

of Italy before the end of 2009 for authorisation to use those internal models to estimate the<br />

capital requirement needed to cover the Bank’s risks has in fact been confirmed.<br />

794 Report of the Supervisory Board


Finally, with regard to the third pillar, the relative process for producing reports for public<br />

disclosures has been defined. The new regulations introduce obligations to publish<br />

information on capital adequacy, exposure to risks and the general characteristics of the<br />

systems designed to identify, measure and manage them.<br />

In 2008 the Internal Control Committee concentrated mainly on the following activities:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

the most important issues concerning the Bank's internal control system and the legislative<br />

framework, as follows:<br />

- corporate governance mechanisms with regard, amongst other things, to the provisions<br />

contained in the corporate governance code for listed companies, in the supervisory<br />

instructions issued by the Bank of Italy and in Legislative Decree No. 231/2001;<br />

- relations with the boards of statutory auditors and with the supervisory bodies pursuant<br />

to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 of subsidiaries and the respective areas of<br />

intervention;<br />

- the policy-setting and co-ordination activities of the Parent Bank;<br />

- risk management and capital requirement calculation processes pursuant to Basel 2;<br />

- the configuration and co-ordination of second level (risk management and compliance)<br />

and third level (internal audit) control activities;<br />

- the structure, staff and operational tools of the Group internal auditing function and its<br />

interaction with other business units;<br />

- modifications of corporate procedures to comply with the MiFID legislation and new antimoney<br />

laundering developments;<br />

periodic and specific reporting on the outcomes of analyses performed by the internal<br />

auditing function;<br />

relations with the Supervisory Authorities, with specific regard to requests for self-analysis<br />

concerning specific transactions and inspections carried out at subsidiary companies.<br />

In 2008 the Accounts Committee concentrated its activities mainly on examinations of the<br />

separate and consolidated financial statements of the Parent Bank, the half year financial<br />

report and the quarterly reports to the end of March and September. In this context it<br />

conducted detailed study on accounting matters connected with the unification, already<br />

completed, of the accounting IT systems used by the banks in the Group<br />

With regard to the Basel 2 project, the accounts committee supported the Supervisory Board<br />

in the various implementation stages mainly on technical aspects affecting accounting,<br />

administrative and financial reporting matters connected mainly, but not exclusively, with<br />

quantification issues related to the three pillars.<br />

Information on the activities performed by the Appointments Committee and the<br />

Remuneration Committee is contained in the report on corporate governance which may be<br />

consulted.<br />

***<br />

As concerns the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board, in March 2009<br />

the board itself decided, with the agreement of all its members, to reduce its total fixed<br />

remuneration by 20% for its last year of office in order to demonstrate its awareness of the<br />

economic and financial crisis that had hit the country and to signal its concern to those who<br />

had been hit either directly or indirectly by that crisis.<br />

***<br />

In compliance with Consob Communication No. 1025564 of 6 th April 2001 and subsequent<br />

amendments to it, specific information is given below on the supervisory activities performed<br />

by the Supervisory Board in 2008 in the order of presentation recommended in that Consob<br />

communication.<br />

795 Report of the Supervisory Board


1. The board has attended all the meetings of the Management Board. In this respect the<br />

Chairman and the Senior Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board decided to<br />

separately authorise every member of the Internal Control Committee to attend<br />

meetings of the Management Board, in order to comply immediately with the Bank of<br />

Italy instructions concerning the organisation and governance of banks, even before<br />

the related amendments to corporate by-laws are made.<br />

The Supervisory Board supervised compliance with the law, the corporate by-laws<br />

and proper management practices and acquired information on the activities of the<br />

Bank and its subsidiaries and also on major capital, financial and operating<br />

transactions.<br />

Transactions of major economic, financial and capital importance carried out by the<br />

Bank during the year were performed in compliance with the law and the corporate<br />

by-laws in full compliance with the interests of the Bank. Furthermore on the basis of<br />

the information obtained from the Management Board in accordance with Art. 150 of<br />

the Consolidated Finance Act, those transactions were not manifestly imprudent,<br />

risky, in-conflict-of-interest, or in contrast with resolutions passed by shareholders’<br />

meetings or in any case such as to compromise the assets of the Bank.<br />

In implementation of the 2007-2010 Integration Business Plan approved in June<br />

2007 by the Supervisory Board and as expressly authorised by the corporate by-laws,<br />

further changes to the organisational and corporate structure of the Group were<br />

completed in 2008. The most significant of these performed during the year were as<br />

follows:<br />

- completion of the IT migrations onto the Group target system;<br />

- full introduction of the target organisational model, which is standard<br />

throughout the Group, by decentralising some Parent Bank operations,<br />

transferred to network banks, and centralising other network bank operations,<br />

transferred to the Parent Bank.<br />

- completion of the process of integrating and streamlining the product companies<br />

which involved companies operating in consumer finance, wealth management,<br />

financial advisory services, leasing, insurance and trust management.<br />

796 Report of the Supervisory Board


acquisition of stakes in the share capital by the principal service users (network<br />

banks and other Group member companies).<br />

On 13 th June 2008, Bank of Italy inspections of the <strong>UBI</strong> Group, performed pursuant<br />

to articles 54 and 68 of Legislative Decree No. 385/1993 and notified on 15 th<br />

February 2008, were concluded.<br />

On 29 th August 2008, the supervisory authority delivered a communication to the<br />

Supervisory Board and to the Management Board containing the findings. The<br />

outcome of the inspections was generally positive and attention was placed in a letter<br />

of reply sent to the Bank of Italy on the careful examination conducted by company<br />

bodies on the points outlined in the inspection report, giving details of the lines of<br />

action already undertaken.<br />

On 13 th March 2008 the Consob (Italian securities market authority) commenced an<br />

inspection of IW Bank pursuant to Art. 10, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree No.<br />

58/1998, to ascertain compliance with regulations concerning interconnection<br />

systems, the detection of suspect transactions with regard to market abuse and the<br />

provision of loan accessory services to customers. At the date of this report the<br />

outcome of the inspection concluded on 3 rd December is not yet known.<br />

In July <strong>UBI</strong> Assicurazioni sent a reply to ISVAP (the insurance authority) in relation to<br />

the inspection performed into the company in the second half of 2007, illustrating the<br />

specific and dedicated programme to improve the management of damages claims<br />

which was commenced at the beginning of 2008.<br />

With regard to important events occurring after the end of the financial year 2008, the<br />

most significant transactions performed were as follows:<br />

- the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group accepted, with the shares it held (1,89% <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and<br />

0,59% <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare di Ancona), the voluntary public tender offer to purchase<br />

the total of the ordinary shares of Meliorbanca S.p.A. made by <strong>Banca</strong> Popolare<br />

dell’Emilia Romagna Soc. Coop. at a price of 3,20 euro each;<br />

- on 4 th March 2009, as part of an agreement signed by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, Centrobanca<br />

and Medinvest International, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> purchased a further 32,4% stake in the<br />

share capital of IW Bank held by the current management of that bank. The<br />

agreement also involved the purchase by Medinvest International of a stake in the<br />

share capital of IW Bank, which will in turn acquire a majority interest that may<br />

rise to 100% in the share capital of Twice SIM (a company which specialises in<br />

brokerage services and activities in capital markets and corporate finance for small<br />

to medium size enterprises), 59,3% controlled by Medinvest International. On 20 th<br />

March 2009, the latter purchased an initial tranche from Centrobanca of 4,75% of<br />

the share capital of IW Bank, agreeing to purchase a second tranche of up to<br />

5,70% of the share capital of IW Bank subject to the actual purchase by IW Bank<br />

of an interest in Twice SIM of more than 50,1% of the share capital after the<br />

possible exercise of outstanding warrants. If the operation is fully implemented,<br />

the investment held by the <strong>UBI</strong> Group in IW Bank will be 74,7%;<br />

- on 16 th March 2009 the acquisition of operations belonging to Intesa Sanpaolo<br />

was concluded consisting of 13 branches in the province of La Spezia, with Banco<br />

di San Giorgio designated as the acquirer of the branches.<br />

On 27 th January 2009, the Bank of Italy commenced ordinary inspections, pursuant<br />

to Art. 10 of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998, into the asset management company<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica. On the following 20 th February 2009, in accordance with the laws in<br />

force, that same supervisory body ordered inspections into <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> as the<br />

depository bank for the funds of <strong>UBI</strong> Pramerica SGR.<br />

2./3. No atypical and/or unusual transactions occurred during the year including<br />

intragroup transactions and those with related parties, (where related parties are<br />

defined by the standard IAS 24 “Related party disclosures” to which reference is also<br />

made by Art. 2 of the Issuers Regulations issued by the Consob with Resolution No.<br />

11971/1999 and subsequent amendments and additions). As concerns intragroup<br />

and related party transactions of an ordinary nature, these have been accurately<br />

reported in the information provided by the Management Board in Part H of the notes<br />

to the consolidated financial statements. All the transactions in question were<br />

797 Report of the Supervisory Board


performed as part of the bank’s institutional activities, in observance of correct<br />

principles both in substance and form under conditions analogous to those applied<br />

for transactions with independent parties and in accordance with the organisational<br />

structure adopted with strategic and management activities centralised at BPU <strong>Banca</strong><br />

Scpa and technical and operational activities centralised at <strong>UBI</strong> Sistemi e Servizi<br />

Scpa. Again with regard to transactions of an ordinary nature with related parties the<br />

Supervisory Board declares that these transactions were always conducted under<br />

market conditions or, in the absence of suitable reference parameters, on the basis of<br />

the costs incurred and in any case always compliant with and in the interests of the<br />

Bank. The report on corporate governance also illustrates the main contents of the<br />

monitoring, reporting and decision-making regulations adopted by the Bank for the<br />

performance of related party transactions by the Bank.<br />

Furthermore, transactions with representatives of the Bank, with representatives of<br />

Group member companies and with companies controlled by them, who all qualify as<br />

related parties, are all conducted under market conditions and the provisions of<br />

article 136 of the Consolidated Banking Act are closely complied with. The<br />

Supervisory Board has also monitored the adequacy of the system for ensuring<br />

compliance with Art.136 of the Consolidated Banking Act.<br />

4. As concerns relations with the firm of independent auditors, on 5 th May 2007 a<br />

shareholders’ meeting of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa approved the extension until the end of the<br />

financial year ending 31 st December 2011 of the expiry of the auditing appointment<br />

granted in accordance with articles 155 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 58/1998<br />

(Consolidated Finance Act) to the auditors KPMG Spa by a shareholders meeting of<br />

BPU <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa on 10 th May 2003 for the financial years 2003-2005, already<br />

extended by a shareholders’ meeting of 22 nd April 2006 for the financial years 2006-<br />

2008. The independent firm of auditors KPMG Spa, with whom the Supervisory Board<br />

has had constant meetings, including those through committees of the board, issued<br />

its reports on 26 th March 2009 from which no critical observations or remarks<br />

emerged.<br />

5./6. The Supervisory Board received no notifications from registered shareholders<br />

pursuant to article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code during 2008.<br />

7./8. In addition to the fee for its appointment to perform the audit of the accounts for work<br />

performed during the year amounting to 1.279 thousand euro, the Parent Bank, in<br />

compliance with the law and Art. 160 of the Consolidated Finance Act paid further<br />

fees relating to 2008 (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, supervisory contributions<br />

and VAT) to the independent auditors KPMG Spa and to companies belonging to its<br />

network as follows:<br />

- Certification services 1.250 thousand euro;<br />

- Tax consultancy services 34 thousand euro;<br />

- MiFID project 1.378 thousand euro;<br />

- Basel 2 project: support for office project activities<br />

and gap analysis<br />

1.361 thousand euro;<br />

- Support for compliance with Law No. 262/2005 435 thousand euro;<br />

- Assistance with the development of a<br />

portfolio model for credit risk<br />

375 thousand euro;<br />

- Online customer procurement and E-finance 9 thousand euro.<br />

In addition to the fees listed above, the company KPMG Spa and companies belonging<br />

to its network were also assigned the following appointments with regard to<br />

appointments made by other companies in the <strong>UBI</strong> Group (again exclusive of out-ofpocket<br />

expenses, supervisory contributions and VAT):<br />

- Auditing of accounts 2.759 thousand euro;<br />

- Certification services 380 thousand euro;<br />

- Tax consultancy services 16 thousand euro;<br />

- Assistance with supervisory reporting and Basel 2 290 thousand euro;<br />

798 Report of the Supervisory Board


- Mifid project: support for office project activities 228 thousand euro;<br />

- Support with financial analysis of bonds<br />

and structured derivatives<br />

95 thousand euro;<br />

- Anti-money laundering consulting services 51 thousand euro;<br />

- Support with compliance activities 35 thousand euro;<br />

- Other services 36 thousand euro.<br />

Details of these fees are also given in an attachment to the financial reports as<br />

required by Art. 149-duodecies of the Issuers’ Regulations.<br />

Furthermore, subsequent to the approval of the provisional separate company and<br />

consolidated financial statements by the Management Board, the independent<br />

auditors made additions to the times and fees for auditing activity as a consequence<br />

of new legislation and also of the greater time needed to audit the accounts for 2008,<br />

totalling 180 thousand euro in relation to the Parent Bank and 285 thousand euro for<br />

the other Group member companies.<br />

9. With regard to the existence of opinions given in accordance with the law during the<br />

year and in compliance with the Consolidated Banking Act, the Supervisory Board<br />

issued the required favourable opinion when decisions were taken by the<br />

Management Board pursuant to Art.136 paragraph 1 of the Consolidated Banking<br />

Act.<br />

Following the resignations of Gino Trombi as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and<br />

ing. Romain Zaleski as a member of the Supervisory Board, a shareholders’ meeting of<br />

10 th May 2008 appointed avv. Corrado Faissola as Chairman of the Supervisory<br />

Board and Battista Albertani as a member of the Supervisory Board.<br />

As a consequence of his candidature to the position just mentioned, avv. Corrado<br />

Faissola resigned as a member and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and<br />

from other positions held within the Group and it was therefore necessary to fill the<br />

vacant position on the Management Board and appoint a new Deputy Chairman.<br />

On the basis of a proposal from the Appointments Committee, the Supervisory Board<br />

therefore appointed Franco Polotti as a member of the Management Board and Flavio<br />

Pizzini as Deputy Chairman of the Management Board to replace avv. Faissola.<br />

Following the resignation of the Chief Executive Officer, dott. Giampiero Auletta<br />

Armenise from his position and the relative executive powers assigned to him by the<br />

Management Board for personal and family reasons,in November the Supervisory<br />

Board decided to increase the number of members of the Management Board to 11<br />

and appointed dott. Victor Massiah to that board as proposed by the Appointments<br />

Committee. The Supervisory Board then proposed dott. Massiah for the position of<br />

Chief Executive Officer of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, again on the basis of a recommendation made<br />

by the Appointments Committee. Finally the Supervisory Board made a proposal for<br />

the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and of the General Manager of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> on the basis of indications made by the Remuneration Committee. Dott.<br />

Auletta Armenise maintains his position as a member of the Management Board of<br />

the Parent Bank along with the other positions he holds in Group member companies.<br />

10. The Supervisory Board met 18 times in 2008.<br />

While observing the principle of collegial responsibility in performance of its duties,<br />

the Supervisory Board - in relation to its responsibilities, its composition and the<br />

characteristics of its members - decided to establish, in compliance, amongst other<br />

things with the recommendations contained in the corporate governance code,<br />

specific internal committees with the functions of submitting proposals and advice<br />

and performing controls: an appointments committee, a remuneration committee, a<br />

committee for internal control and an accounts committee. These committees have<br />

been established to allow the Supervisory Board to make its decisions on a more<br />

informed basis and they are composed - as recommended by the corporate<br />

governance code - of more than three members.<br />

In 2008 the Appointments Committee met five times, the Remuneration Committee<br />

met five times, the Committee for Internal Control met 24 times and the Accounts<br />

Committee met 18 times. The Supervisory Board has been constantly informed of the<br />

799 Report of the Supervisory Board


activities of those committees. In order to provide constant information on the main<br />

business operations, one or more members of the Internal Control Committee attends<br />

the meetings of the Management Board on a rotating basis and reports back to the<br />

other members of the committee in its next meeting.<br />

The Management Board met 31 times in 2008.<br />

11./12. The Supervisory Board acquired information on and, to the extent of its<br />

responsibilities, supervised the adequacy of the organisational structure of the Bank<br />

and compliance with the law and proper principles of management. This was<br />

performed by making direct observations, by acquiring information from the Financial<br />

Reporting Officer and by holding meetings with the those functions in the Bank<br />

involved in the system of internal controls and with the independent auditors, during<br />

the course of regular exchanges of information. As concerns the MiFID (Market in<br />

Financial Instruments Directive) directive on transparency in financial markets, the<br />

objective of the first phase of the compliance process was to achieve compliance<br />

before the date on which the regulations came into force (1 st November 2007),<br />

focusing on areas with an impact on customers to whom the regulations were made<br />

available. The compliance process continued in 2008 with the following objectives:<br />

- the definition of rules, processes and instruments in respect of matters not<br />

related to customer management, together with compliance with regulations<br />

which came into force in 2008;<br />

- the development of business by extending the provision of investment advisory<br />

services to customers;<br />

- managing developments in Consob guidelines (termed third level measures<br />

published during the year) and relations with the Consob;<br />

- increased staff training by preparing and implementing a specific plan.<br />

Project activities are also currently in progress aimed on the one hand at putting an<br />

evolved advisory service in place, which offers investment proposals based on a<br />

“portfolio model” designed to fit customer risk profiles and the holding periods they<br />

require and on the other hand at creating a specific “product catalogue” on which<br />

customer investment proposals can be focused.<br />

Finally, again with regard to the MiFID directive and more specifically to the joint<br />

Bank of Italy - Consob Regulations, this board has periodically verified the adequacy<br />

of processes relating to the provision of investment services and of the relative<br />

organisational structure and the assignment of duties and responsibilities.<br />

13./14. The Supervisory Board assessed and supervised the adequacy of the system of<br />

internal control and the administration and accounting system also ensuring that the<br />

latter was reliable in recording operating events faithfully. This was performed by<br />

holding specific meetings with the functions in the Bank involved in the internal<br />

control system and with the independent auditors, by acquiring adequate reports<br />

from other corporate bodies of the bank and from the heads of the respective<br />

functions, by examining corporate documents and by analysing the results of the<br />

work performed by those persons.<br />

The system of internal controls and the organisational structure of the Bank were<br />

found to be basically appropriate to the scale and nature of its business. The<br />

dynamics of these were developed constantly in order to continuously refine them and<br />

also to comply with changes in the legislation.<br />

The Parent Bank has equipped itself with an Organisational, Management and<br />

Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01.<br />

The corporate governance report contains further information on this.<br />

We report that the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Officer have<br />

issued a declaration pursuant to Art.154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Act<br />

concerning the information contained in the separate and consolidated financial<br />

statements for 2008.<br />

800 Report of the Supervisory Board


15. The Supervisory Board supervised, both directly and through the corporate functions<br />

involved in the system of internal controls and the independent auditors, to ensure<br />

that the conduct of subsidiaries was consistent with the objectives set by the Parent<br />

Bank. No matters were considered worthy of mention concerning the adequacy of<br />

instructions given by the Parent Bank to its subsidiaries pursuant to Art. 114,<br />

paragraph 2 of the Consolidated Finance Act nor on the timely reporting performed by<br />

subsidiaries to the Parent Bank in order to comply with disclosure obligations<br />

required by law.<br />

16. No significant issues emerged from the periodical exchanges of information that<br />

occurred through the accounts committee and internal control committee with the<br />

independent auditors KPMG Spa, pursuant to article 150 of Legislative Decree No.<br />

58/1998.<br />

17. <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa complies with the corporate governance code for listed companies of<br />

Borsa Italiana of March 2006 and it has therefore prepared a Report on the Corporate<br />

Governance and Ownership Structure of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa which is attached to the<br />

Annual Report.<br />

The corporate governance report furnishes shareholders and the market with an<br />

analysis of the system of corporate governance adopted by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Scpa. It gives<br />

details of the procedures by which the code itself has been complied with by the Bank<br />

and also provides an account of those principles with which the Bank has complied in<br />

full and those that it has chosen not to observe, even only partly, on the basis of the<br />

principle of either “comply or explain”.<br />

The corporate governance report has been prepared in particular to comply with Art.<br />

89 bis of the Issuers Regulations. It also contains information on corporate<br />

governance and ownership structure required by Art. 123 bis of the Consolidated<br />

Finance Act.<br />

18. No omissions, reprehensible actions or irregularities requiring mention to<br />

shareholders emerged from the supervisory activities performed by the Supervisory<br />

Board.<br />

19. To conclude, the Supervisory Board expresses a unanimous opinion in favour of the<br />

proposal for the allocation and distribution of profit formulated by the Management<br />

Board.<br />

***<br />

Dear shareholders, the criteria followed in the management of the Bank to achieve its<br />

mutual objects, as established by Art. 2545 of the Italian Civil Code, are clearly evident and<br />

observable in the activities of the Bank and of the Group as a whole.<br />

In accordance with its model as a ‘popular’ bank, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> not only orients its operating<br />

policies towards the production of value in general, but also towards achieving the mutual<br />

objects intrinsic in its institutional model, both through initiatives directed to grant<br />

concessions directly to its registered shareholders and through numerous actions to support<br />

the local economies of the areas in which the bank operates traditionally.<br />

The particular attention paid to registered shareholders as customers also takes the form of<br />

the provisions of services and special concessions, which include the “Value Project”: a set of<br />

banking and insurance concessions, free of charge, destined exclusively to the registered<br />

shareholders of the Bank. The banking concessions are reserved to those who hold a current<br />

account and have shares in the Bank deposited with banks in the Group, while the insurance<br />

policies are for registered shareholders in general. The report on operations in the separate<br />

annual report provides further details of this project.<br />

801 Report of the Supervisory Board


Attention to local needs in a context of subsidiarity and mutuality is also borne out by the<br />

various initiatives to provide social, cultural, scientific, welfare and environmental support<br />

performed directly by the Group’s network banks, which are flanked by initiatives by the<br />

Parent Bank and by the Foundations created by the Group.<br />

All the initiatives undertaken in this respect by the Group are known to the entire Supervisory<br />

Board, which approves of them.<br />

***<br />

Finally the Supervisory Board informs the shareholders’ meeting that it approved the<br />

separate and consolidated financial statements in a meeting held on 10 th April 2009 and it<br />

also verified that they complied with the law. The separate and consolidated financial<br />

statements for 2008 prepared and submitted by the Management Board were unanimously<br />

approved after first having heard reports from the Chairman of the Management Board and<br />

Chief Executive Officer and the declaration by the Financial Reporting Officer.<br />

During that same meeting the internal control committee reported on its activities performed<br />

during the year designed to assess the system of internal control and on the inspections it had<br />

performed to ensure that it was adequate.<br />

The Supervisory Board also received a report from the Accounts Committee on its activities<br />

during the year which involved the examination of the main accounting matters and an<br />

analysis of specific issues of an administrative and accounting nature brought to its attention<br />

from time to time.<br />

***<br />

It should be mentioned that with a view to maintaining, strengthening and improving the<br />

capital of the Group through the implementation of careful, medium term, capital<br />

management initiatives, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong><br />

have decided to submit a proposal to a shareholders’ meeting of two initial measures (the issue<br />

of warrants free of charge to shareholders and the issue of convertible bonds). These are<br />

designed to increase the loyalty of the shareholder base and to guarantee the continued capital<br />

strength and liquidity of the Group which it currently enjoys and which are considered<br />

important if the Group is to continue to remain close to the local communities and economies<br />

it serves, especially in light of the need to support businesses in the current difficult market<br />

situation.<br />

***<br />

To conclude the Supervisory Board expresses a unanimous opinion in favour of the proposal<br />

for the allocation and distribution of profit formulated by the Management Board, with the<br />

relative distribution of a cash dividend of 45 euro cents per share.<br />

Brescia, 10 th April 2009<br />

The Supervisory Board<br />

802 Report of the Supervisory Board


<strong>REPORT</strong>S ON THE OTHER ITEMS ON<br />

THE AGENDA OF THE<br />

SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING<br />

803 Report on the items on the agenda<br />

of the Shareholders’ Meeting


Authorisation of the Management Board<br />

concerning own shares<br />

Dear Shareholders,<br />

In compliance with articles 2357 and 2357 bis of the Italian Civil Code, with Legislative Decree<br />

No. 58 of 24 th February 1998 and Consob (Italian securities market authority) Resolution No.<br />

11971 of 14 th May 1999 and subsequent amendments and additions, the shareholders’<br />

meeting held on 10 th May 2008 authorised the Board of Directors to purchase and sell the<br />

Bank’s own shares, with a nominal value of 2,50 euro, within the limits of the existing reserve,<br />

amounting to 64.203.000 euro.<br />

In this respect we propose renewing that authorisation, under the same conditions already<br />

existing and therefore to purchase and sell the Bank’s own shares, with a nominal value of<br />

2,50 euro, within the limits of the existing reserve, amounting to 64.203.000 euro.<br />

In relation to that amount in the reserves, it must be considered that on the basis of IAS 32<br />

“Financial instruments: disclosure and presentation”, own shares that are repurchased must<br />

be deducted, in the accounts, from the share capital (in this respect Bank of Italy circular No.<br />

262/2005 transfers the own shares held in portfolio to asset item 190 in the balance sheet as<br />

a reduction in shareholders’ equity).<br />

Sales of own shares are performed at a price not less than the official price quoted, which is to<br />

say the closing price of the market session prior to each individual sales transaction with the<br />

understanding that the amount from the sale of the shares held returns, up to the carrying<br />

amount, to the funds held in the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”.<br />

The amount corresponding to the difference between the carrying amount and that following<br />

the sale of the shares is recognised directly in shareholders’ equity within item 170 "Share<br />

premiums".<br />

Article 144 bis of the issuers regulations introduced by the Consob Resolution No.<br />

15232/2005, and issued to implement the first paragraph of Art. 132 of the Consolidated<br />

Finance Act as amended by Law No. 62/2005 (the Market Abuse Directive) specifies four ways<br />

of purchasing own shares.<br />

Purchases of own shares may be performed by a public tender offer to purchase or swap, on<br />

the market according to the procedures established in stock exchange regulations, by the<br />

purchase and sale of derivative financial instruments or by granting an option to sell to<br />

registered shareholders in proportion to the shares they hold.<br />

In this respect the shareholders are asked to authorise the Management Board, and the<br />

Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, to purchase own shares<br />

according to the procedures specified in paragraph 1, letter b) of Art. 144 bis of the Issuers<br />

Regulations, and that is to purchase on regulated markets following operational procedures<br />

which guarantee equal treatment of shareholders and do not allow direct proposals to<br />

purchase to be linked to predetermined proposals to sell.<br />

The reasons for requesting this authorisation lie in the ability to act, in compliance with<br />

current rules and regulations in force, mainly for the purposes of stabilising trading in<br />

conditions of excess volatility or of scarce liquidity.<br />

These purchases may be effected within the limits of the existing reserve of 64.203.000 euro<br />

until the shareholders’ meeting convened to make decisions, in accordance with Art. 2364-bis,<br />

No. 4, of the Italian Civil Code on the use of profits for the year ended 31 st December 2009<br />

(after first approving the Annual Report for the year, in the sole hypothesis that the annual<br />

804 Report on the items on the agenda<br />

of the Shareholders’ Meeting


eport has not already been approved by the Supervisory Board) at a price not higher than the<br />

official price or the closing price in the market session prior to each individual transaction and<br />

are charged to the “reserve for the purchase of own shares”, with the further limit that the<br />

shares held as a result of the trades made do no exceed a maximum number equal to 1% of<br />

the share capital.<br />

It is also proposed to authorise the Management Board, and the Chairman and Deputy<br />

Chairman, jointly and severally, on its behalf, in relation to the opportunities and the specific<br />

market conditions, to use its own shares that it holds in portfolio for the exercise of option<br />

rights, however they are denominated, again as long as the price of the option right is not<br />

lower than the carrying amount.<br />

All the above must comply with the rules and regulations issued by the Consob.<br />

Finally as at 31 st December 2008, the Bank held none of its own shares.<br />

Dear Shareholders,<br />

in relation to the above, the Management Board therefore proposes that the ordinary<br />

shareholders’ meeting approves the following resolution:<br />

“The shareholders’ meeting of Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa,<br />

- having considered the proposal of the Board of Directors;<br />

- having taken account of the provisions of the law, of the corporate by-laws and of the<br />

regulations issued by the national commission for companies and the stock exchange (Consob –<br />

Italian securities market authority);<br />

RESOLVES<br />

a) to authorise the Management Board and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, jointly<br />

and severally, on its behalf, to proceed with one or more transactions until the<br />

shareholders’ meeting convened to make decisions in accordance with Art. 2364-bis, No.<br />

4, of the Italian Civil Code on the use of profits for the year ended 31 st December 2009<br />

(after first approving the Annual Report for the year, in the sole hypothesis that the<br />

annual report has not already been approved by the Supervisory Board) to purchase, by<br />

means of the procedures specified in paragraph 1, letter b), of Art. 144 bis of the Issuers<br />

proposals to purchase to be linked to predetermined proposals to sell, the Bank’s own<br />

shares with a nominal value of 2,50 euro at a price not higher than the official price<br />

quoted in the session prior to each transaction by drawing on the ‘reserve for the<br />

purchase of own shares’ amounting to 64.203.000,00 euro, with the further limit that the<br />

shares possessed must not exceed 1% of the outstanding share capital as a result of the<br />

trading performed;<br />

b) to also authorise the Management Board and the Chairman and Deputy Chairman,<br />

jointly and severally, on its behalf, to proceed with one or more transactions, according to<br />

the aforesaid procedures and within the aforesaid time limits, to the sale of all or part of<br />

the own shares that the Bank may hold at a price not less than the official price or the<br />

closing price in the session prior to each individual sales transaction, by means of normal<br />

stock market trading, with the understanding that the amount from the sale of the shares<br />

held returns, up until the carrying amount, to the funds held in the “reserve for the<br />

purchase of own shares”;<br />

c) to also authorise the Management Board to use the Bank’s own shares for the exercise of<br />

option rights, however they are denominated, as long as the price of the option right is<br />

not lower than the carrying amount;<br />

Chairman, jointly and severally, all the necessary powers required to implement the<br />

resolution in compliance with the relative regulations of the authorities concerned.”<br />

GLOSSARY


ABS (Asset Backed Securities)<br />

Financial instruments issued against securitisations (cf. definition) on which the yield and redemption<br />

are guaranteed by the assets of the originator (cf. definition), which are earmarked exclusively to satisfy<br />

a special purpose entity (SPE - cf. definition). The portfolio underlying the securitisation may consist of<br />

mortgage loans, other loans, bonds, commercial paper, loans resulting from credit cards or even other<br />

assets. Depending on the type of underlying asset, ABSs may be classified as follows:<br />

- credit loan obligation CLO (the portfolio consists of bank loans);<br />

- collateralised bond obligation, CBO (the portfolio consists of bonds);<br />

- collateralised debt obligation, CDO (the portfolio consists of bonds, debt instruments and securities in<br />

Basel 2<br />

New international agreement on capital which identifies the guidelines for calculating the minimum<br />

capital requirements for banks 1 .<br />

1 The first version of the agreement, known as Basel 1, dates back to 1988 and was signed in that Swiss city where<br />

the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has its headquarters, an organisation which has been promoting<br />

monetary and financial co-operation on a worldwide scale since 1930 (it is known in Italy as <strong>Banca</strong> per i regolamenti<br />

Internazionali - BRI). The Basel Committee operates within it, formed by the governors of the central banks of the<br />

ten most industrialised countries (G10) at the end of 1974, and it is this that has formulated the agreements or<br />

“accords”. The following are currently represented on it: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan,<br />

Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.<br />

809 Glossary


The new prudential regulations are based on “three pillars”:<br />

first Pillar (Pillar 1): while it maintains the objective of a level of capitalisation equal to 8% of risk<br />

weighted exposures, a new system of rules has been defined for measuring risks typical of banking<br />

and financial activities (credit, counterparty, market and operational risks), which introduces<br />

alternative methods of calculation characterised by different levels of complexity, with the possibility<br />

of using internally developed rating systems, subject to prior authorisation from the Supervisory<br />

Authority.<br />

second pillar (Pillar 2): this requires banks to equip themselves with processes and instruments to<br />

calculate their total internal capital adequacy requirement (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment<br />

Process - ICAAP) to meet each type of risk, which may even be different from those covered by the<br />

total capital requirement (first pillar). The Supervisory Authority is responsible for reviewing the<br />

ICAAP process, for formulating an overall opinion and, where necessary, for activating appropriate<br />

corrective action;<br />

third pillar (Pillar 3): this introduces the obligation to publish information on capital adequacy,<br />

exposure to risks and the general characteristics of systems designed to identify, measure and<br />

manage these risks.<br />

Benchmark<br />

A standard for the measurement of financial investments: it may consist of well known market indices or<br />

of others that are more suited to the risk-yield profile.<br />

Best practice<br />

Conduct that is comparable with the most significant and/or best level achieved in a given field or<br />

profession.<br />

Business risk<br />

The risk of adverse and unexpected changes in profits and margins with respect to forecasts, connected<br />

with volatility in volumes of business due to competitive pressures and market conditions.<br />

CAGR – Compound Annual Growth Rate<br />

The annual growth rate applied to an investment or other assets for a period of several years. The<br />

formula for calculating CAGR is [(present value/base value)^(1/number of years)-1].<br />

Capital allocation<br />

Process by which decisions are made on how to distribute investments among different types of financial<br />

asset (e.g. bonds, equities and liquidity). Capital allocation decisions are determined by the need to<br />

optimise the risk/return ratio in relation to the time horizon and the expectations of the investor.<br />

Capitalisation (insurance) certificates<br />

Capitalisation contracts fall within the field of application of the legislation on direct life insurance<br />

contained in Legislative Decree No. 174 of 17 th March 1995. As defined in Art. 40 of that legislative<br />

decree, these are contracts with which insurance companies agree to pay capital equal to the premium<br />

paid, revalued periodically on the basis of the return on separate internal management of financial assets<br />

or, if higher, a minimum guaranteed return, as the consideration for the payment of single or periodical<br />

premiums. They cannot have a life of less than five years and the policyholder has the right to cash-in<br />

the policy from the beginning of the second year onwards. In accordance with Art. 31 of the cited<br />

Legislative Decree No. 174, financial assets used to hedge technical reserves are reserved exclusively to<br />

comply with obligations connected with capitalisation contracts (separate management). Consequently, if<br />

the insurance company is placed in liquidation (Art. 67), the beneficiaries of those policies have title as<br />

creditors with special privileges.<br />

Capitalisation policies<br />

See the item “Capitalisation (insurance) certificates”.<br />

Captive<br />

Term generally used to refer to distribution networks or companies that operate exclusively with<br />

customers belonging to the company or group in question.<br />

Commercial paper<br />

The Basel Committee has no supranational authority: the member countries may decide to comply with the accords<br />

but they are not bound to accept the decisions of the committee. The compulsory nature of Basel 2 for EU countries<br />

is in fact the result of a European Parliament directive which adopted it in September 2005.<br />

The first Basel accord, signed by the central authorities of more than 100 countries established the obligation for<br />

the banks participating in it to set aside a share of their capital amounting to 8% of the loans disbursed<br />

independently of an assessment of the reliability of the companies that had requested them, using rating<br />

procedures.<br />

810 Glossary

Corporate governance<br />

Corporate governance defines the assignment of rights and responsibilities to the participants in the life<br />

of a company in relation to the distribution of duties, responsibility and decision making powers by<br />

means of the composition and functioning of internal and external corporate bodies. One fundamental<br />

objective of corporate governance is to create maximum value for shareholders, which, in the medium to<br />

long term, is also advantageous for other stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, employees,<br />

creditors, consumers and the community.<br />

Cost income ratio<br />

A performance indicator defined as the ratio of operating costs to gross income.<br />

Covered bonds<br />

Special bank bonds which, in addition to the guarantee given by the issuing bank, also offer as security a<br />

portfolio of mortgage or other high credit quality loans transferred for that purpose to a “special purpose<br />

entity” 2 .<br />

Banks which intend to issue covered bonds must have assets of not less than 500 million euro and a<br />

total capital ratio at consolidated level of not less than 9%. The share of the assets potentially useable as<br />

security that are transferred may not exceed the following limits, calculated on the basis of the level of<br />

capitalisation:<br />

- 25% in cases of a capital ratio ≥ 9% and > 10% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 6%;<br />

- 60% in cases of a capital ratio ≥10% and > 11% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 6,5%;<br />

- no limit in cases of a capital ratio ≥11% with tier 1 ratio ≥ 7%.<br />

- sector concentration risk.<br />

Default<br />

A declared condition of being unable to honour debts and/or payment of the relative interest.<br />

Duration<br />

2 Covered bonds issued by banks are regulated in Italy by Law No. 130 of 30 th April 1999 (Art. 7-bis). The way in<br />

which they work is for a bank to transfer high quality credit assets (mortgage loans and loans to public<br />

administrations) to a special purpose entity and for a bank, even a different bank from the transferor, to issue<br />

bonds guaranteed by the special purpose entity with the collateral of the assets acquired which constitute separate<br />

capital. The details for the application of the regulations are contained in Ministerial Regulation No.310 of 14 th<br />

December 2006 and in the supervisory instructions of the Bank of Italy of 15 th May 2007.<br />

Fair value<br />

The amount of consideration for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled under free market<br />

conditions, between knowledgeable and willing parties. This is often the same as the market price. On<br />

(assets and liabilities) held for trading, available for sale and derivatives and they may also use it to<br />

measure the value of equity investments and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (with<br />

different impacts on the income statement for the different assets considered).<br />

obligation to buy, futures contracts oblige the two parties to sell or buy.<br />

Geographical disaster recovery<br />

A set of technical and organisational procedures set in motion when a catastrophe occurs which causes<br />

the complete data processing platform to shut down. The objective is to reactivate EDP functions that are<br />

vital to the company at a secondary (recovery) site. A disaster recovery system is defined as<br />

“geographical” when it is located at least 50 km from the original system. The primary objective is to<br />

mitigate risk arising from disaster events with a potential impact on an entire metropolitan area (i.e.<br />

earthquakes, floods, military intervention, etc.) as prescribed by international safety standards.<br />

Goodwill<br />

This is the amount paid for the acquisition of an interest in a company which is the difference between<br />

Commissions) and the Basel Committee participate as observers. This body has taken over from the<br />

International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC), formed in 1973 to promote the harmonisation of<br />

rules for preparing company accounts. When the IASC was transformed into the IASB, one decision<br />

taken was to term the new accounting standards “International Financial Reporting Standards” (IFRS).<br />

linked to market rates with particularly low subordination such as for example no recovery in future<br />

years of interest not paid by the parent bank and sharing in the losses of the bank itself if these losses<br />

The concept of subprime does not refer to the loan in itself, but rather to the borrower. Technically it<br />

refers to a borrower who does not have a fully positive credit history, because characterised by negative<br />

lending events such as for example the presence of repayments on previous loans not made, of cheques<br />

without funds and/or protested and so on. These past events are symptomatic of a greater intrinsic<br />

riskiness of counterparties from whom a corresponding higher remuneration is requested by the lender<br />

who grants them a mortgage.<br />

Business with subprime customers developed in the American financial market where the grant of these<br />

loans was usually accompanied by securitisation activity and the issue of securities.<br />

Alt-A mortgage loans are defined as loans granted on the basis of incomplete or inadequate information.<br />

Subrogation<br />

the supplementary capital which is admitted up to the maximum amount of the core capital.<br />

Equity holdings, innovative capital instruments, hybrid capital instruments and subordinated assets<br />

held in other banks and financial companies are deducted in the measure of 50% from the tier 1 capital<br />

and 50% from the supplementary capital (more specifically non consolidated equity interests of more<br />

than 10% held in banks and financial companies as well as equity interests of less than 10% in banks<br />

and financial companies and subordinated assets issued by banks, which exceed 10% of the core and<br />

the supplementary capital are deducted).<br />

Equity investments in insurance companies, subordinated liabilities issued by them and securitisation<br />

positions are also deducted.<br />

Swaps (interest rate swaps and currency swaps)<br />

A transaction consisting of the exchange of cash flows between counterparties according to contracted<br />

conditions. With an interest rate swap the counterparties exchange the interest payments calculated on<br />

notional reference capital on the basis of different criteria (e.g. one counterparty pays a fixed rate and<br />

the other a variable rate). In the case of currency swaps, the counterparties exchange specific amounts<br />

of two different currencies, returning them over time according to set conditions which concern both the<br />

principal and the interest.<br />

Tankan index<br />

An indicator of the performance of the Japanese economy constructed on the basis of the results of a<br />

survey conducted by the Bank of Japan in the last month of each quarter. The survey is on both<br />

small).<br />

Tier I (tier 1 capital)<br />

This consists of equity share capital paid in, reserves (inclusive of the share premiums), innovative<br />

capital instruments (but only if they meet the conditions to fully guarantee the stability of the bank 3 ),<br />

profit for the period and positive tier 1 capital prudential filters. Own shares, goodwill and intangible<br />

fixed assets, prior and current year losses, impairment losses on the trading portfolio for supervisory<br />

purposes and negative tier 1 capital filters are deducted from those items.<br />

Tier II (supplementary capital)<br />

This consists of valuation reserves, innovative capital instruments not eligible for inclusion in tier 1<br />

capital, hybrid capital instruments (irredeemable debt and other instruments redeemable on request of<br />

the issuer with the prior consent of the Bank of Italy) subordinated liabilities (for an amount reduced by<br />

one fifth over the five years prior to the maturity date), net gains on equity investments, positive<br />

supplementary capital prudential filters, any excess of net impairment losses over expected losses and<br />

positive exchange rate differences. The following negative elements are deducted from those items: net<br />

losses on equity investments, negative supplementary capital prudential filters, other negative items.<br />

3 Innovative capital instruments may be included in the tier 1 capital up to a limit equal to 20 percent of the tier 1<br />

capital, inclusive of the instruments themselves. In respect of that limit, instruments which contain automatic<br />

revision of rates of remuneration (termed ‘step-up’ clauses) connected with redemption rights or other types of<br />

clause designed as an incentive for redemption by the issuer must remain with a limit equal to 15 percent of the tier<br />

1 capital, inclusive of the instruments themselves. Any excess may be included in the supplementary capital on a<br />

par with hybrid capitalisation instruments.<br />

Subordinated bonds that satisfy the following conditions:<br />

- they have been fully paid;<br />

- they do not form part of the supplementary capital (cf. definition);<br />

- they have an original life equal to or longer than two years; if the maturity is not set, the advance<br />

notice of the maturity must be at least two years;<br />

- they meet the conditions specified for similar liabilities included in the supplementary capital except<br />

of course those concerning the life of the debt;<br />

- they are subject to a “lock in” clause according to which the capital and the interest cannot be repaid<br />

if the repayment reduces the total amount of the bank’s capital to a level lower than 100% of the total<br />

capital requirements.<br />

TROR (total rate of return swap)<br />

This is a contract with which a “protection buyer” (also known as a “total return payer”) agrees to pay all<br />

the cash flows generated by a “reference obligation” to a “protection seller” (also know as the total return<br />

receiver), who in return transfers the cash flows linked to the performance of a “reference rate” to the<br />

“protection buyer”. On the dates on which the coupons for the cash flows are paid (or at the end of the<br />

contract), the “total return payer” pays the “total return receiver” any increase there may be in the<br />

“reference obligation”; if, on the other hand the “reference obligation” has decreased then it is the “total<br />

return receiver” who pays the relative amount to the “total return payer”. A TROR is in actual fact a<br />

structured financial product consisting of a combination of a credit derivative and an interest rate swap<br />

(cf. definition).<br />

Unit-linked<br />

Life insurance policies with performance linked to the value of investment funds.<br />

Upper Tier II<br />

Hybrid capitalisation instruments which form part of the supplementary or tier 2 capital (cf. definition)<br />

when the contract specifies that:<br />

a) if there are losses in the accounts which cause a decrease in the capital paid in and in the reserves<br />

below the minimum level required for the authorisation to operate as a bank, the sums from those<br />

liabilities and the interest accruing on them can be used to replenish the losses, in order to allow the<br />

issuing entity to continue its business;<br />

b) if operating performance is negative, the right to remuneration can be suspended by that amount<br />

needed to prevent or limit the occurrence of losses as much as possible;<br />

c) in the case of liquidation of the issuer, the debt will only be repaid after all the other higher ranking<br />

creditors have been satisfied;<br />

Non irredeemable hybrid capitalisation instruments must have a life equal to or longer than ten years.<br />

There must be a specific clause in the contract stating that repayment is dependent on Bank of Italy<br />

authorisation.<br />
