POLICY ON THE PROCESSING AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA¹

This policy is intended to provide you with an overview of the use of your personal data by FinecoBank S.p.A. and of your rights under Articles 13 and 14 of the General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data - Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter also "GDPR").

1. DATA CONTROLLER

The Data Controller is FinecoBank S.p.A. - Parent Company of the FinecoBank Banking Group - with registered office at Piazza Durante no. 11, 20131 Milan (hereinafter "Bank" or "Fineco").

The Data Protection Officer (DPO) can be contacted at:

FinecoBank S.p.A. Data Protection Officer P.zza Durante no. 11, 20131 Milan E-mail: compliance@fineco.it

2. PURPOSE AND LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING

Fineco processes the personal data in its possession, collected directly from you, or possibly through competent local administrations, also for the purpose of verifying their truthfulness, for the following purposes:

A. Need to comply with regulatory obligations arising from your accepting a senior position at Fineco.

These obligations concern, inter alia, the verification, during the candidacy phase and on an ongoing basis, whether you meet the eligibility requirements set out by law, Fineco's By-laws and the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Listed Companies, to accept and hold office or particular qualifications (requirements of integrity, fairness, professionalism, competence, independence, time commitment and holding of multiple positions, compliance with the prohibition of interlocking) and for the application of regulations on related-party transactions as well as for the fulfilment of social security and tax obligations related to the remuneration paid.

Please note that some of the checks indicated involve the processing of data referring to your family² and, therefore, we ask you to have them read this Policy.

The needs illustrated above constitute the legal basis legitimising the relevant processing. The conferment of data is necessary to fulfil the obligations deriving from accepting a senior position; without your personal data, Fineco would be unable to establish/continue the relationship or execute it.

B. Fulfilment of legal obligations and requests from the Public and/or Supervisory Authorities regarding the need to acquire, communicate and/or make public - also in the candidacy phase prior to taking office - on the website \_www.finecobank.com and/or in specific company documents (e.g., Prospectuses/Corporate Governance Report, Financial Statements) information concerning you (e.g., that contained in your curriculum vitae, in the list of positions held, as required by current regulations and in compliance with Fineco's By-laws and Code of Conduct).

The needs illustrated above constitute the legal basis legitimising the relevant processing. The conferment of data is necessary to fulfil obligations under the law and requests of Authorities and to accept a senior position at Fineco; without your personal data, Fineco would be unable to fulfil its legal obligations and therefore to establish the relationship with you.

3. TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED

¹ Directors, Statutory Auditors and their families.

² The perimeter of your family is identified in accordance with the specific applicable rules.

Fineco processes personal data collected directly from you, or from third parties (e.g., competent local authorities), which include, by way of example, personal details (e.g., name, surname, address, date and place of birth) bank data, information on your financial situation (e.g., personal estate, information on credit reports), positions held and related remuneration, employment relationships, commercial/professional relationships, etc..

This information may relate to existing or past relationships with Fineco as well as with third parties.

3.1 Judicial Data

Fineco processes judicial data (i.e., personal data relating to criminal convictions, crimes or related security measures, including any information on ongoing proceedings) that may involve you in order to ascertain the subjective and good repute requirements and/or prerequisites that prohibit holding a senior position. In such cases, processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation or to comply with requests from Public or Supervisory Authorities (for example, filling in the questionnaire requested by the ECB). This need constitutes the legal basis legitimising the relevant processing. The conferment of data is necessary to fulfil legal obligations; without your personal data, Fineco would be unable to fulfil its regulatory obligations and therefore to establish the relationship with you.

4. RECIPIENTS OR CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA

Your data may come to the knowledge of the natural and legal persons in the list available on the website www.finecobank.com in their capacity as Data Processors and of the natural persons belonging to the categories below in the discharge of their duties in the capacity as persons in charge of processing: employees of or seconded to Fineco, temporary workers, interns, consultants and employees of external companies appointed as Processors.

• ii. companies belonging to the Fineco Group, and namely subsidiaries or affiliates pursuant to art. 2359 of the Italian Civil Code (also located abroad), to whom such communication is permitted as a result of an order of the Italian Data Protection Authority or of a legal requirement.

6. PROCESSING METHODS

Personal data are processed by means of manual, IT and telematic instruments using logic strictly related to the purposes and, in any case, in order to guarantee the security and confidentiality of said data.

7. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

The GDPR entitles you to know what data concerning you is in Fineco's possession, as well as how it is used and to obtain, when the conditions subsist, the copy, erasure, updating, correction or, if of interest, integration of the data, as well as the right to portability.

7.1. Period of data retention and right to erasure

Fineco processes and keeps your personal data for the duration of the term of your office, to fulfil the inherent and ensuing obligations and to comply with legal, contractual and regulatory applicable obligations, as well as for defensive purposes of its own or third parties until the expiry of the longer period of limitation provided for by applicable law (i.e., 11 years) starting from the date of termination of office.

At the end of the applicable storage period, personal data relating to you shall be deleted or stored in a form that does not allow your identification (e.g., irreversible anonymisation), unless further processing is necessary for one or more of the following purposes: i) resolution of pre-litigation and/or litigation initiated before the expiry of the retention period; ii) to carry out investigations/inspections by internal control functions and/or external authorities initiated prior to the expiry of the retention period; iii) to comply with requests from Italian and/or foreign public authorities received by/notified to Fineco before the expiry of the retention period.
