Legislative Decree 25 of 15 February 2016, transposing the new Transparency Directive (2013/50/EU), eliminated the requirement to publish interim reports, previously provided for in paragraph 5 of art. 154-ter of the Consolidated Finance Act. The decree also gave Consob the right to impose any additional disclosure requirements with respect to annual and half-yearly financial statements. On the basis of the regulatory authorisation contained in this Decree, Consob, with Resolution 19770 of 26 October 2016, made changes to the Regulations approved by Consob

with Resolution 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended and supplemented (the "Issuers Regulations") on the subject of additional periodic financial information, which apply with effect from 2 January 2017.

In order to ensure the continuity and regularity of information to the market, the Board of Directors of Banco BPM, in its meeting held today, decided to publish on a voluntary basis - in addition to the annual and half-yearly information - additional periodic information ("quarterly reports") pursuant to Consob resolution 19770 of 26 October 2016 - with reference to the quarters ended 31 March and 30 September of each year starting from 2017 and until otherwise decided - according to the following communication policy which is provided pursuant to art. 82-ter of the Issuers Regulations:

a) Contents of quarterly reporting

The quarterly report will include a review of the results of operations for the period, focusing on changes in the main economic and financial items, based on the reclassified balance sheet and income statement schedules used in the annual and half-yearly financial reports.

b) Timing of approval

The quarterly report will be approved by the Board of Directors by the deadline for sending the FINREP and COREP supervisory reports to the European Central Bank (i.e. approx. 42 days after the end of the quarter and communicated in the manner explained below).

c) Communication method

The quarterly report will be made available to the general public and to the market by:

• Press release, which will be issued after the meeting of the Board of Directors that approves the results;
• Presentation, that will be used to support the conference call with financial analysts held after the communication of the press release.

In compliance with the provisions of the Instructions to the Rules of Markets Organized and Managed by Borsa Italiana, notice is hereby given that any dividend on the 2016 results will be payable in the month of April 2017. It is pointed out that this communication is made solely to satisfy the requirements of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and, therefore, it should not be interpreted in any way as a prediction that the conditions will exist for the distribution of dividends in the current or future years.
