Within the Group, Markets acts as a competence center for all activities related to financial markets and is<br />

also the channel that gives UniCredit preferential access to markets.<br />

Its current organizational structure reflects the repositioning process started in the second half of 2007,<br />

and later strengthened in 2008, with an emphasis on the following princi<strong>pl</strong>es: focus on core customers<br />

and products, and the rationalization, optimization and improved efficiency of non-core activities.<br />

The underlying goal of the repositioning was to strengthen Markets as one of the main European regional<br />

specialists by leveraging the broad customer base in the countries where the Group operates.<br />

The main businesses of Markets can be broken down as follows:<br />

� Rates, to execute transactions involving interest rates products (i.e., bonds, derivatives and fixedincome<br />

structured solutions); this business area also includes money market transactions and<br />

treasury operations for Group companies;<br />

� Capital Markets, which is in turn broken down into following businesses:<br />

o Equity Capital Markets (ECM), which originates, structures and executes transactions for<br />

customers in relation to the primary segment of stock markets;<br />

o Debt Capital Markets (DCM), which originates, structures, executes and participates in<br />

customers' syndication and debt financing transactions in capital markets;<br />

o Structured Capital Markets, which originates and structures innovative transactions linked to<br />

capital markets to meet specific customer needs;<br />

o Capital Market Solutions, which is dedicated to providing highly customized solutions to meet<br />

specific customer needs, which are primarily related to accounting balance sheet and rating<br />

optimization issues.<br />

� Equities, which is mainly dedicated to the negotiation, structuring, sale and dynamic risk management<br />

of products related to equity markets for the Group's customers and for outside counterparties (e.g.,<br />

financial institutions, funds, etc.);<br />

� Forex Exchange (FX), which specializes in cash (spot and forward) and derivative (swaps and<br />

options) foreign currency products for transactions of its customers and for the foreign currency<br />

component of the Group's funding areas;<br />

� Credit-Related Business which includes the following businesses:<br />

o Credit Markets, which typically handles the pricing and negotiation of products related to the<br />

credit market including credit default swaps and structured lending products involving companies<br />

or financial institutions with high creditworthiness;<br />

o Illiquids and Special Assets, which manages the Group's problem assets (from the lending<br />

standpoint), which, due to their unique nature, fall outside traditional loan recovery channels,<br />

and in relation to which access to capital markets is required.<br />
