PRESS RELEASE

S&P RAISED LONG-TERM AND SHORT ISSUER CREDIT RATINGS TO "BBB/A-2"

FROM "BBB-/A-3" ON BPER BANCA. THE OUTLOOK IS STABLE.

Modena, 18 April 2025 – BPER Banca informs that S&P Global Ratings has today raised the Bank's long-term and short issuer credit ratings to "BBB/A-2" from "BBB-/A-3" and the long-term Resolution Counterparty Rating to "BBB+" from "BBB". The rating agency affirmed the "A-2" short-term Resolution Counterparty Rating. The outlook is stable. S&P Global Ratings revised up the Stand Alone Credit Profile to "bbb" from "bbb-".

The upgrade primarily reflects reduced external risk for the sovereign and improved operating conditions in Italy. It also reflects S&P Global Ratings' view that BPER Banca's performance will remain resilient over the next two years, with the RAC comfortably above 7%. The stable outlook reflects the rating agency's opinion that BPER Banca will remain resilient over the next couple of years, maintaining good asset quality metrics while preserving its capitalization.
