PRESS RELEASE

FinecoBank: Starting of the treasury shares purchase programme in favour of the Personal Financial Advisors' incentive plan - "2014 PFA PLAN".

Milan, September 15th , 2015

FinecoBank announces that, following the issue of the required authorisation by the Regulatory Authorities pursuant to Articles 77-78 of EU Reg. 575/2013 of June 26, 2013 (CRR), from tomorrow, September 16 th, 2015, a treasury shares purchase programme will be in place in favour of the 2014 stock granting plan for Personal Financial Advisors and Network Managers of FinecoBank, as authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting of June 5th , 2014.

Specifically, the treasury shares purchased will be used to execute the second and third tranches of the 2014 stock granting plan, which provides for the free-of-charge allocation, to the beneficiaries, of 1,408,834 shares. The figure has been set by dividing the total bonus accrued of €14.389.650,00, minus the amount of the first tranche equal to a third of this sum (already paid in cash on July 31st, 2015), and other deductions pursuant to the Rules of the Plan, by the reference value set on the basis of the arithmetic average of the official closing price of the shares for each day of trading on the MTA (Electronic Stock Exchange) managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., in the period starting from the day prior to the date of allocation of the first tranche to the beneficiaries to the same day of the previous month (both included), with the allocation date being July 31st, 2015.

In compliance with the shareholders' meeting resolution – which is effective for a period of 18 months – the purchases under the above programme must be carried out taking into account that: (i) the maximum number of shares to be purchased corresponds to 5 million treasury shares (equal to 0.82% of the share capital); (ii) the purchases have to be carried out according to Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Consob Issuers' Regulation and specifically on the MTA managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., according to the operating procedures set out in the market's organisational and management rules granting an equal treatment among Shareholders and to avoid the direct matching of buy orders and sell orders; (iii) the price per share cannot be lower than the nominal value of €0.33 and not higher than, as a maximum, the average of the closing prices of the Fineco

shares recorded on the MTA managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. in the thirty trading days before the purchase, increased by 10%; and (iv) daily purchases cannot exceed 25% of the average daily volume of Fineco shares traded on the MTA, calculated on the basis of the average daily volume of trades in the previous month to the one in which the programme is announced to the public.

Any changes to the purchase programme will be promptly communicated by the Company to the public.

Under this purchase programme, FinecoBank will disclose the purchases to Consob and to the market on a weekly basis.

Currently, FinecoBank does not hold any treasury shares.
