Exchange offer<br />

<strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> has recently completed an exchange offer in respect of five series of Lower Tier II subordinated<br />

notes and three series of trust preferred securities (together, the "Securities") issued by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> and by<br />

entities within the <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> Group.<br />

Pursuant to the exchange offer, holders of Securities were invited to exchange Securities for senior debt<br />

securities issued under the <strong>Programme</strong> (the "New Senior Notes"). The terms of the exchange offer provided that,<br />

in order to receive New Senior Notes, each holder of Securities was required to tender Securities in an amount<br />

that rendered it eligible to receive a nominal amount of New Senior Notes of at least Euro50,000. If this<br />

requirement was not satisfied by a holder participating in the exchange offer, the relevant Securities would be<br />

purchased by <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> for cash.<br />

On 19 June 2009, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> announced that, pursuant to the exchange offer, it had received offers for exchange<br />

in relation to the Securities in an aggregate nominal amount of Euro640,450,000. The aggregate nominal amount<br />

of Securities that <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> purchased for cash pursuant to the exchange offer was Euro2,799,200 (being<br />

Euro271,200 for the trust preferred securities and Euro2,528,000 for the Lower Tier II subordinated notes). On<br />

25 June 2009, in exchange for the Securities offered for exchange pursuant to the offer and not purchased for<br />

cash, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> issued New Senior Notes in an aggregate nominal amount of Euro574,274,000, together with<br />

additional senior notes in an aggregate amount of Euro275,726,000 to guarantee greater liquidity in the issue.<br />

The aggregate nominal amount of senior notes issued on such date was therefore Euro850,000,000.<br />

Convertible bonds<br />

The shareholders' meeting of 9 May 2009 also approved a share capital increase for the issue of bonds<br />

convertible into ordinary shares of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>, to be offered to shareholders in a maximum amount of<br />

Euro640,000,000 and with a four year maturity (the "Convertible <strong>Bond</strong>s"). Following the obtaining of<br />

approvals from CONSOB and the Italian Stock Exchange, on 18 June 2009 <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong>'s Management Board<br />

approved the final conditions of the Convertible <strong>Bond</strong>s, which will be issued in a total nominal amount of<br />

Euro639,145,872, through the issue of 50,129,088 convertible bonds for a nominal amount of Euro12.75 each, to<br />

be offered to the shareholders of <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> at a ratio of 4 convertible bonds for every 51 ordinary shares of <strong>UBI</strong><br />

<strong>Banca</strong> held.<br />

The Convertible <strong>Bond</strong>s give holders the right to receive a fixed coupon, payable annually, of 5.75 per cent. gross<br />

per annum of the nominal amount of the Convertible <strong>Bond</strong>s and will have a term from 10 July 2009 until 10 July<br />

2013.<br />

The subscription period for the Convertible <strong>Bond</strong>s commenced on 22 June 2009 and ended on 10 July 2009, and<br />

the rights trading period commenced on 22 June 2009 and ended on 3 July 2009. Within the month following the<br />

conclusion of the offer period, <strong>UBI</strong> <strong>Banca</strong> will offer any unexercised rights for sale on the stock exchange in<br />

compliance with applicable laws.<br />
