In the early months of 2009, the following measures - approved by the Board of Directors in October 2008<br />

- were taken to strengthen company capital:<br />

� The capital increase authorized by UniCredit’s Shareholders’ Meeting on 14 November 2008 was<br />

carried out: in the period January 5-23, 2009 972,225,376 new ordinary shares were offered to<br />

holders of UniCredit ordinary and savings shares, in the ratio of 4 ordinary shares for every 55<br />

ordinary or savings shares held, at a unit issue price of €3.083 per share, with a premium of<br />

€2.583.<br />

� On February 23, 2009 - on conclusion of the period of offering of unexercised rights in the Bourse<br />

- the capital increase was com<strong>pl</strong>eted with the subscription by Mediobanca of 967,578,184<br />

UniCredit ordinary shares, as per the guarantee agreement entered into by it whereby it<br />

undertook to subscribe all the newly issued shares for which rights had not been exercised.<br />

Almost all the shares subscribed by Mediobanca were used for an issue of financial instruments<br />

known as CASHES.<br />

� The capital increase of €2,997,370,834.21 - of which €486,112,688 was capital and<br />

€2,511,258,146.21 share premium - was thus com<strong>pl</strong>eted.<br />

� Subsequently, on March 17, 2009, UniCredit’s Board of Directors resolved to submit a new issue<br />

in the form of a scrip dividend pursuant to Article 2442 Italian Civil Code, using the reserve set<br />

aside for the purpose when the appropriation of 2008 net profit was resolved.<br />

� Consequently, on April 29, 2009 the Shareholders resolved in EGM to authorize a rights issue of<br />

2,435,097,842 ordinary shares and 2,532,431 savings shares with a par value of €0.50 for a total<br />

amount of €1,218,815,136.50, whereby 29 new ordinary shares were allotted for every 159<br />

ordinary shares held and seven new savings shares every 60 savings shares held. These<br />

shares were made available to shareholders on May 21, 2009 (listed ex-dividend as from May<br />

18, 2009).<br />

In order to keep our capital ratios in line with those of our peers in Europe and elsewhere, thus ensuring<br />

that the Group is favorably positioned in the market and able to take advantage of economic growth in the<br />

future, on 16 November 2009 the Shareholders’ resolved in EGM<br />

� to increase company capital by a maximum of €4 billion including any share premium by issuing<br />

ordinary shares cum dividend with a par value of €0.50 in the form of a rights issue to holders of<br />

ordinary and savings shares pursuant to Art. 2441 Italian Civil Code and<br />

� to vest in the Board of Directors all necessary powers for setting the methods and terms of the<br />

rights issue, including specifically - shortly before the public offering and on the basis of then<br />

current market conditions - the subscription price including the share premium and thus the<br />

number of shares to be issued and the ratio whereby the rights would be allotted to shareholders.<br />
