PREMIUM IN CASH EQUAL TO 5% PER SHARE IN CASE OF ACCEPTANCES HIGHER THAN 90% OF THE SHARE CAPITAL

THE ACCEPTANCE PERIOD TO THE OFFER WILL END ON 27 JUNE 2025

Mestre (Venice), 24 June 2025 – With reference to the voluntary tender and exchange offer (the "Offer") over all the ordinary shares of illimity Bank S.p.A. ("illimity" or the "Issuer"), Banca Ifis S.p.A. ("Banca Ifis" or the "Offeror"), announces that it will pay a 5% premium in cash equal to Euro 0.1775 (the "Additional Consideration in Cash") for each illimity Share tendered to the Offer, in case of acceptances higher than 90% of the Issuer's share capital (the "90 Threshold").1

Assuming that all the Shares are tendered to the Offer and that, therefore, the 90% Threshold is exceeded, the overall maximum consideration of the Offer, based on the official price of the Banca Ifis Shares as of the Reference Date, adjusted for the dividend paid on 21 May 2025, is equal to Euro 313,412,354.33.

Therefore, in case of completion of the Offer, the Adherents will receive, for each Offer Share tendered to the Offer during the Acceptance Period and/or during the Reopening of Terms, a Consideration equal to:

• (i) the Consideration in Shares (i.e., no. 0.10 Offered Banca Ifis Shares) and Euro 1.506, in the event that the number of Shares tendered to the Offer is not higher than the 90% Threshold; or
• (ii) the Consideration in Shares (i.e., no. 0.10 Offered Banca Ifis Shares) and Euro 1.6835 (including the Additional Consideration in Cash) (the "90% Consideration in Cash"), in the event that the number of Shares tendered to the Offer is higher than the 90% Threshold.

The provision of the Additional Consideration in Cash is intended to enable the Offeror to exceed the 90% Threshold necessary for the completion of the Delisting as a result of the Offer, in line with the objective set forth by the Offeror in the Offer Document to accelerate the beginning of the integration process between Banca Ifis and illimity in the event of completion of the Offer; if the 90% Threshold is not exceeded, indeed, the Offeror will incur higher costs due to the fact that it would not be able to proceed swiftly with such integration process.

It should be noted that in the press release issued on 16 May 2025 pursuant to Articles 103, paragraphs 3 and 3 bis of the CFA and Article 39 of the Issuers' Regulations, the Issuer's Board of Directors concluded that the

¹ Capitalized terms used in this press release, unless otherwise defined, shall have the same meaning attributed to them in the offer document relating to the Offer, approved by CONSOB with resolution no. 23543 of 7 May 2025 (the "Offer Document").

Consideration (which did not take into account the Additional Consideration in Cash) was fair from a purely financial point of view.

Banca Ifis announces that currently there are no negotiations with the shareholders of illimity.

It should be noted that the Acceptance Period will end at 5:30 p.m. on Friday 27 June 2025.

Pursuant to Article 36 of the Issuers' Regulations, the Offeror shall announce whether or not the 90% Threshold has been exceeded in the Press Release on the Provisional Results of the Offer or in the Press Release on the Provisional Results of the Reopening of Terms, as the case may be.

In light of the above, it should be noted that, in case the Offer is completed:

• (i) if the 90% Threshold is exceeded by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror will pay to the Adherents the Consideration in Shares (i.e., 0.10 Offered Banca Ifis Shares) and the 90% Consideration in Cash on the Payment Date; and
• (ii) if the 90% Threshold is not exceeded by the end of the Acceptance Period, the Offeror will pay to the Adherents the Consideration on the Payment Date. If the 90% Threshold is subsequently exceeded during the Reopening of Terms, the Offeror will pay, on the Payment Date Following the Reopening of Terms, (a) the Consideration in Shares (i.e., 0.10 Offered Banca Ifis Shares) and the 90% Consideration in Cash to the Adherents who have tendered their Shares during the Reopening of Terms, and (b) only the Additional Cash Consideration, on a supplementary basis, to the shareholders who have already tendered their Shares during the Acceptance Period (and have therefore already received the Consideration on the Payment Date).

Based on the official price of Banca Ifis Shares recorded on 7 January 2025 (i.e., the last Trading Day before the Announcement Date) (the "Reference Date"), equal to Euro 21.366, adjusted for the dividend paid by Banca Ifis on 21 May 2025 and equal to Euro 0.92 per share, the sum of the 90% Consideration in Cash (including the Additional Consideration in Cash) and the Consideration in Shares reflects a valuation of Euro 3.728 per each Offer Share and, therefore, should the 90% Threshold be exceeded, it would incorporate:

• (i) a premium of 11.1% on the official price of illimity Shares recorded on the Reference Date; and
• (ii) a premium of -13.8%, -0.9%, 8.4% and 13.3% on the weighted arithmetical average of the official prices of the illimity Shares recorded, respectively, in the 12, 6 and 3 months and the month prior to the Reference Date (included).

For information purposes, it should be noted that, based on the official price of the Banca Ifis Shares recorded on 24 June 2025, equal to Euro 21.874, the sum of the 90% Consideration in Cash and the Consideration in Shares reflects a valuation of Euro 3.871 per each Offer Share and, therefore, should the 90% Threshold be exceeded, it would incorporate a premium of 13.2% on the official price of the illimity Shares recorded on 24 June 2025, equal to Euro 3.418.

The appendix contains the information and tables referred to in Section E, Paragraphs E.1.2, E.3 and E.4 of the Offer Document, updated on the basis of the Consideration, as increased by the Additional Consideration in Cash.

On the date hereof, the Offeror, pursuant to Article 37-bis of the Issuers' Regulations, filed with CONSOB the documentation certifying the issue by Banco Santander S.A. of the supplement to the Guarantee of Exact Fulfilment to fully cover the 90% Consideration in Cash.

The new Acceptance Form, amended to take into account the payment – in the event that the 90% Threshold is exceeded – of the Additional Consideration in Cash, is made available on the date hereof. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that also the Shareholders who have tendered to the Offer prior to the date hereof will be entitled to receive, if the 90% Threshold is exceeded, the 90% Consideration in Cash, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Document, as amended by this press release. Therefore, the subscription of the Acceptance Form in the version previously made available to the public will be considered as valid acceptance of the improved terms of the Offer referred to in this press release.

Except for what is provided in the press release issued by Banca Ifis on 17 June 2025 and in this press release, all the other terms and conditions of the Offer indicated in the Offer Document remain unchanged.

For any further information relating to the Offer, please refer to the Offer Document, made available to the public for consultation:

• (i) at the registered office of Banca Ifis, in Venice-Mestre (VE), Via Terraglio no. 63;
• (ii) at the offices of the intermediary in charge of coordinating the collection of the acceptances, Equita SIM S.p.A., in Milan (MI), Via Turati no. 9;
