Note: If the answer is YES, please provide details (e.g., indication of type of proceeding and any other information useful to assess the situation).

Clarification:

  • b. 10% maximum threshold:
    • the turnover of the firm or professional practice to which the director belongs, or $\overline{a}$
    • of the advisor's own income as an individual.

In the case of a Director who is also a partner in a professional firm or consulting firm, the Board assesses the significance of professional relationships that may have an effect on his or her position and role within the firm or consulting firm or that, in any event, relate to important Bank and Group transactions, even independently of the quantitative parameters set out above;

$(4)$ pursuant to the Board of Directors' Regulations, a statement is also requested in the above-mentioned note as to whether, in the previous three financial years, any significant additional remuneration was received from the Bank or a subsidiary or parent company (with respect to the fixed emolument as a non-executive director of the Bank and any remuneration for participation in Committees, also in the form of participation in incentive plans linked to the company's performance, including share-based plans, or envisaged by current legislation). This additional remuneration is assessed as significant by the Board of Directors if it exceeds the threshold of a maximum of 20% of the director's income as a natural person, excluding from the director's income any remuneration received in his/her capacity as a member of the management bodies of the parent company and/or subsidiaries.

All members of the supervisory body meet the independence requirements set out in Recommendation 7 for directors.

Clarification:

(1) Close family members are defined as: spouse, de facto cohabiting partner, cohabitant, child, parent or other family member with whom the individual shares the same dwelling.

(2) Significant shareholders are defined as: those who hold an interest of 5% or more.

(3) The significance of the business relationship depends on the amount of financial value it represents to the business of the representative or his/her close family member.

(4) In the case of a business or professional relationship with the Bank/subsidiaries or a competitor, indicate the percentage of the turnover of the business conducted by the individual or close family member with the Bank, its subsidiaries or a competitor to the total turnover.

(5) Examples of bonds/financial interests are equity investments, other types of investments and loans. The materiality of the interest or obligation depends on the amount of (financial) value they represent for the financial resources of the said representative. In principle, the following cases would be regarded as not material: all secured personal loans (e.g. private mortgages) that are non-preferential (i.e. at standard market conditions for the bank in question) and performing; all other non-preferential performing loans of less than EUR 200,000, whether secured or not; participations of 1% or less held at the time of appointment or other investments of equivalent value.

66 Significant political influence" can occur at any level: local (e.g. mayor), regional or national (e.g. within government); in the case of a civil servant (e.g. in public administration) and a representative of a state. The relevance of the conflict of interest depends on any specific obligations or powers arising from the political role that would prevent the individual from acting in the interests of the supervised entity.

12. Limit to the number of offices

The undersigned declares that he/she holds, also in light of the table in the preceding point,

Total no. 1 assignments, of which:

  • n. 0 executives a.
  • n. 1 non-executive $h_{\cdot}$
  • You are also asked to indicate
  • the total number of appointments benefiting from the Aggregation, with an indication of the companies aggregated, and whether, as a result of the c. Aggregation, the appointment qualifies as executive or non-executive.
  • the total number of offices benefiting from the Computation Exclusion d.

Notes: enter the information in c above.

Clarification:

Except as set forth below, each such officer may not hold an aggregate number of positions in banks or other business corporations in excess of one of the following alternative combinations:

a. No. 1 executive office and no. 2 non-executive office;

b. No. 4 non-executive office.

For purposes of calculating the above limits, the position held at the Bank (the "Limits") shall be included.

The Limits do not apply to members who hold positions in the Bank representing the Government or other public bodies.

For the purposes of calculating the Limits, positions held by the representative shall not be considered:

  • a. at companies or entities the sole purpose of which is to manage the private interests of a representative or of a spouse who is not legally separated, a person bound by civil union or de facto cohabitation, a relative or a relative-in-law within the fourth degree and which do not require any type of day-to-day management by the representative;
  • b. as a professional in a professional company;
  • c. as alternate auditor (the "Computation Exclusions").

For purposes of calculating the Limits, the aggregate of the positions held in each of the following cases shall be considered as one position:

  • a. within the same group;
  • b. in banks belonging to the same institutional protection system;
  • c. in companies, not part of the group, in which the bank holds a qualifying holding as defined in Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, Article 4(1), point 36.

If more than one of the cases described in paragraph a), b) and c) above occurs at the same time, the offices are added together. The sum of the positions counted as a single position is considered as an executive position if at least one of the positions held in the above-mentioned situations is executive; in the other cases it is considered as a non-executive position (the "Aggregation").

Taking on a non-executive position in addition to the Limits (the "Additional Position") shall be permitted provided that it does not impair the ability of the representative to devote adequate time to the position with the Bank to effectively perform his or her duties. For this purpose, the Board shall consider, among other things:

b. the fact that the representative holds an executive position within the Bank or is a member of Committees;

c. the size, business and complexity of the Bank or other business company at which the additional assignment would be made;

d. The duration of the additional assignment;

e. the level of expertise accrued by the representative for carrying out the position in the Bank and any synergies between the different positions.

The taking on of the Additional Assignment is not permitted to representative who:

a. holds the position of Chief Operating Officer, or Chairman of the Board of Directors or of a Committee at the Bank;

b. benefits, for other assignments, from the Aggregation.

The Additional Assignment is not eligible for Aggregation.

The Chief Executive Officer, subject to the Computation Exclusions, may not hold:

(i) any other executive office;

(ii) More than two non-executive positions.

For the Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer, the possibility of serving as a member of the Board of Statutory Auditors is excluded.

Attachment A

  • The occurrence of one or more of the situations that are relevant for the purposes of assessing the existence of the $1.$ requirement of fairness for the Director does not automatically lead to his/her unsuitability, but requires an assessment by the competent body. The assessment is conducted with regard to the principles of sound and prudent management, as well as to safeguarding the Bank's reputation and public trust.
  • The evaluation shall be conducted based on one or more of the following parameters, where relevant: 2.
  • $a)$ objective seriousness of the facts committed or contested, with particular regard to the extent of the damage caused to the protected legal asset, the damaging potential of the conduct or omission, the duration of the violation, any systemic consequences of the violation;
  • $b)$ frequency of behaviors, with particular regard to the repetition of behaviors of the same nature and the time lapse between them:
  • stage of the administrative penalty appeal process; $\mathbf{c})$
  • $\mathbf{d}$ stage and degree of the criminal proceedings;
  • type and amount of the sanction imposed, assessed according to criteria of proportionality, which take into account, $e)$ among other things, the severity of the sanction also on the basis of the bank's financial capacity;
  • the period of time that elapsed between the occurrence of the relevant fact or conduct and the appointment resolution. f) As a rule, the facts that occurred or the conduct that took place no more than ten years prior to the appointment are taken into account; if the relevant fact or conduct took place more than ten years earlier, they must be taken into account only if they are particularly serious or, in any case, there are particularly qualified reasons why the sound and prudent management of the bank could be affected;
  • $g)$ level of cooperation with the relevant body and the supervisory authority;
  • any reparatory conduct undertaken by the interested party to mitigate or eliminate the effects of the violation, even $h)$ after the adoption of the sentence, sanction or one of the measures referred to in paragraph 3 of the Questionnaire;
  • i) degree of responsibility of the subject in the violation, with particular regard to the effective power structure within the bank, company or entity at which the position is held, the conduct actually carried out, the duration of the position held:
  • $j)$ reasons for the measure taken by administrative bodies or authorities;
  • relevance and connection of conduct, behaviour or facts to the banking, financial, securities, insurance and payment $k)$ services sectors, as well as in matters of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.
    1. In the case referred to in point 3 of the Questionnaire, the sanction imposed is only taken into consideration if there are objective elements capable of proving the individual and specific contribution made by the subject in committing the sanctioned facts. In any case, sanctions equal to the minimum amount are not taken into consideration.
  • $4.$ The case envisaged in point 3 of the Questionnaire, letter g), is relevant only if there are objective elements capable of proving the individual and specific contribution made by the person to the events that led to the company's crisis, taking into account, among other things, the duration of the period during which the person concerned carried out his/her functions at the company and the period of time that elapsed between the carrying out of the functions and the adoption of the measures mentioned in point 3 of the Questionnaire, letter g).
    1. The fairness criterion is not met when one or more of the situations listed in item 3 of the Questionnaire paint a serious, accurate, and concordant picture of conduct that is contrary to the objectives stated in paragraph 1.
