PRESS RELEASE

PUBLICATION OF FORM 120B WITH REFERENCE TO THE SYNTHETIC EXPOSURE ON 9,99% OF THE SHARE CAPITAL

Modena, 22 October 2025 – With reference to the derivative contract signed on 21 October 2025, in the form of a Total Return Swap ("TRS"), for the purchase of a synthetic exposure on 9.99% of its share capital (the "Synthetic Exposure"), we hereby inform you that BPER Banca S.p.A. ("BPER") today disclosed its participation in financial instruments pursuant to Article 119, paragraph 1, of CONSOB Issuers' Regulation No. 11971/1999. The disclosure specified, among other things, that the transaction will have a tenor of approximately three years.

In relation to the above, we also inform you that the Synthetic Exposure involves, pursuant to Articles 36(1)(f) and 42(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, a deduction from the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital. With reference to the closing price of BPER shares on 21 October 2025, the maximum potential deduction from the CET1, without considering the hedging, is up to approximately Euro 2 billion, which would still result in capital ratios remaining significantly above the minimum requirements set by the ECB.

BPER Banca S.p.A.
