Milan, 10 March 2017 – The Board of Directors of Banca Generali, chaired by Giancarlo Fancel, approved the draft Parent and Consolidated Financial Statements for 2016. The preliminary results for the year had already been examined and disclosed on 10 February 2017.

The documents will be made available to the public in accordance with the terms established by law.

Banca Generali's results for 2016 showed a sharp assets growth and a tight cost discipline, although in a market context that proved significantly less favourable and more complex than the year before.

The draft Financial Statements confirmed the preliminary consolidated net profit for 2016 (€155.9 million) as already disclosed, with minor changes mainly due to the revision of staff expenses and trading-related items, which however had a neutral impact on the net result.

As mentioned above, net banking income was marked by a strong growth of management fees (€492.3 million; +7%) for the 20th consecutive quarter, making future results more predictable and sustainable. In contrast, performance fees declined compared to the extraordinarily favourable conditions of the previous year. Net interest income recorded a lower contribution from external

components with just €0.9 million generated by LTRO/TLTRO compared to €3.1 million for the previous year and totalled €58.7 million (€66.2 million in 2015).

Operating expenses (€182.0 million; +3.7%) grew moderately, as already announced, despite the speed-up of the Bank's development projects and the company reorganisation. Overall, the ratio of costs — net of charges for bank rescues — to total assets further declined (0.37% compared to 0.40% for the previous year), thus confirming the tight cost discipline. The 43.7% cost/income ratio was again one of the best in the industry.

Banca Generali Group's total balance sheet assets at 31 December 2016 rose by 36.6% to €8,357 million, thanks to the acquisition of new customers. The contribution of the ECB's TLTRO amounted to €400 million.

At year-end 2016, consolidated net equity further increased to €646.5 million (compared to €636.8 million at year-end 2015). At the forthcoming Shareholders' Meeting, in light of the capital position the Board of Directors will propose a dividend payout of €1.07 per share, with an implied dividend yield of 4.5%, based on the closing price on 3 March.

The Bank's solidity is therefore even stronger than the previous year. On a phased-in basis, CET 1 ratio stood at 16.7% (+240 bps in the year) and Total Capital ratio at 18.4% (+250 bps in the year). With reference to regulatory requirements, excess capital on a phased-in basis amounted to €262 million (+23%), accounting for 57% of total Basel 3-compliant own funds.

Financial Statements of Banca Generali S.p.A.

Net profit of the Parent company amounted to €144.8 million, and — like the Group's result included the €8.2 million charge for bank rescues.

Net banking income was €368.2 million compared to €417 million for the previous year. The result was attributable to the increase in fee income (€412.6 million; +3.2%), which partly offset the expected reduction in net interest income and lower dividends distributed by the Luxembourgbased subsidiary.

Operating expenses (€173.6 million, +4.2%) were in line with the figures already announced, growing moderately compared to the sharp growth for the year of the network, the customers and managed assets and assets under administration, in addition to significant IT and digital investments.

Dividends

PRESS RELEASE

The Board of Directors resolved to propose to the General Shareholders' Meeting to distribute a dividend of 107 eurocents per share on each of the 116,517,819 outstanding ordinary shares for a total payout of €124.7 million.
