  • COMBINED ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT OF APPROXIMATELY EUR 22,600 BILLION
  • FEE INCOME AT EUR 64.9 MILLION (+2.5% COMPARED TO 2018), WITH GROUP NET PROFITS INCREASED TO EUR 12.3 MILLION (+10.8%)
  • DIVIDEND CONFIRMED AT EUR 0.12 PER SHARE, AGAINST A POSITIVE NET FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE HOLDINGS COMPANIES OF EUR 65.8 MILLION

Milan, 10 March 2020 - Today the Board of Directors of DeA Capital S.p.A. met to examine and approve the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company's Draft Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2019.

ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

At 31 December 2019, the Combined Assets Under Management (AUM) are EUR 22,600 million, divided as follows: Real Estate 45%, Investment Solutions 33%, Non Performing Exposure – NPE 14% and Private Equity 8%.

It should be noted that Combined Assets under Management are defined as assets managed by the management companies in which the Group holds an absolute or relative (nonconsolidated) majority interest, and the assets managed by the international subsidiaries. Total commitments are considered for Alternative Investment funds.

  • Management fees at EUR 64.9 million (+2.5% compared to 2018), substantially thanks to the greater NPE contribution; more specifically, at 31 December 2019:
    • o DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR recorded an increase of AUM of over EUR 2,500 million compared to the previous financial year, due mainly to the purchase of the business unit consisting of the assets of NPL Management of Quaestio SGR, including the management of the IRF fund, (with AUM of more than EUR 2,300 million, consolidated only for the last two months of 2019);
    • o DeA Capital Real Estate SGR increased AUM by approximately EUR 430 million compared to 2018, with the launch of 6 new funds;
  • Group Net Profit was equal to a profit of EUR 12.3 million, compared with a profit of EUR 11.1 million in 2018 (+10.8%).

  • The Net Financial Position of the Holdings Companies was a positive EUR 65.8 million, compared to EUR 65.3 million at 31 December 2018 (adjusted for the distribution of the extraordinary dividend of EUR 0.12 per share or approximately EUR 31.2 million paid in May 2019 and for the effect of the application of IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019). The consolidated Net Financial Position came to EUR 105.6 million at 31 December 2019, compared with EUR 101.0 million at 31 December 2018.
  • Net Asset value (NAV) amounted to EUR 1.76 per share, compared to EUR 1.72 per share at 31 December 2018 (adjusted for the distribution of the extraordinary dividend mentioned above). Total NAV (Group shareholders' equity) amounted to EUR 457.5 million.

It should be noted that the Annual Financial Report, accompanied by relevant documentation, will be made available to the public on Friday, 27 March 2020, at the registered office, on the authorised storage system () and on the website http://www.deacapital.it/IT/29/Bilanci%20e%20Relazioni.aspx.

ALTERNATIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT

New Platform Funds

During 2019, the Alternative Asset Management Platform, composed of DeA Capital Real Estate SGR and DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR, launched/ acquired the management of new funds for Assets Under Management totalling approximately EUR 3,000 million.

In particular, on 5 November 2019 the subsidiary DeA Capital Alternative Funds SGR incorporated the business unit constituted by the assets of NPL Management of Quaestio SGR, including the management of the Italian Recovery Fund, with Assets Under Management of over EUR 2,300 million. During 2019, SGR also launched the "DeA Endowment Fund" fund of funds, obtained the mandate for the management of a portion of the non-reserved closed-end AIF called "Azimut Private Debt" and completed further closings of the IDeA CCR I and IDeA CCR II funds (for more than EUR 200 million).

At the same time, during 2019, the subsidiary DeA Capital Real Estate SGR launched 6 new real estate funds, for over EUR 400 million of new assets.

Platform Internationalisation Project

With the constitution during 2019 of DeACapital Real Estate Iberia and DeA Capital Real Estate Poland, DeA Capital S.p.A. is continuing the project of developing the real estate platform on a pan-European basis, through Group subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies and with the involvement of local senior management teams (already launched through the establishment at the end of 2018 of DeA Capital Real Estate France).

Acquisition of the relative majority holding in Quaestio SGR

In execution of the agreements stipulated in July 2019, on 6 November 2019 the acquisition was completed of the majority holding (38.8%) of Quaestio Holding, owner of 100% of Quaestio Capital Management SGR. With the sales of the assets of NPL Management and of NPL Servicing completed between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, Quaestio Management focused its operation on investment solutions for institutional investors, with Assets Under Management amounting to over EUR 7,500 million.

The transaction consideration was quantified at approximately EUR 14.5 million, corresponding to an equity value of approximately EUR 37.3 million for 100% of the company.

A price supplement (EUR 22.3 million) was added to the above amount, substantially equal to the pro-rata share of liquidity in the Quaestio Group resulting from the aforementioned sales of the assets of NPL Management and NPL Servicing. In view of the commitment undertaken by the parties to distribute this liquidity to the shareholders as soon as possible, DeA Capital S.p.A. entered this amount (EUR 22.3 million) in the management indicator of the Net Financial Position.

Post-acquisition, the corporate structure of Quaestio Holding is composed as follows:

  • - DeA Capital S.p.A. with a 38.82% stake;
  • - Fondazione Cariplo, with a 34.01% stake;
  • - Other institutional investors (Cassa Italiana di Previdenza ed Assistenza dei Geometri Liberi Professionisti [Italian Welfare and Assistance Fund for Freelance Surveyors], Cassa di Risparmio di Forlì Foundation and Direzione Generale Opere Don Bosco) with an overall stake of 27.17%.

Finally, it should be noted that a new five-year shareholders' agreement among the shareholders of Quaestio Holding was signed, establishing the corporate governance structure for the Quaestio group.

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT

Disposal of Migros units

On 22 November 2019, Kenan Investments and the wholly-owned subsidiary Moonlight Capital completed, through accelerated book building, the partial disposal of an approximately 11% holding of Migros, for a share of proceeds pertaining to DeA Capital S.p.A. of EUR 11.2 million. Subsequent to the transaction, fully-diluted holding in Migros of DeA Capital S.p.A. was approximately 2%.

Launch of the IDeaMI liquidation process

It is noted that, as a result of reaching the term of the statutory duration of the company fixed at 11 December 2019, and not having realised by this date a business combination with a "Target" company, IDeaMI launched the liquidation process, simultaneously ceasing the trading of the related issued ordinary shares and warrants on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Italia. It is expected to complete this process during the 3rd quarter of 2020, with an estimated cash in for DeA Capital S.p.A. of approximately EUR 22 million.

* * *

PROPOSED PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SHARE PREMIUM RESERVE.

The Board of Directors has resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, called for 20 April 2020 in the first call and for 24 April 2020 in the second call, to bring forward, to reduce past losses, the profits resulting from the Financial Statements at 31 December 2019 of the Parent Company DeA Capital S.p.A. (EUR 12.5 million).

In addition, the Board of Directors has resolved to submit for approval to the Shareholders' Meeting the partial distribution of the Share Premium Reserve in the amount of EUR 0.12 per share, as an Extraordinary Dividend. The expected ex-dividend date is 22 June 2020, the record date is 23 June 2020 and the payment on 24 June 2020.

* * *

SHARE BUY-BACK PLAN

The Board of Directors has also resolved to submit to the approval of the Shareholders' Meeting a buy-back and disposal plan of DeA Capital in compliance with the terms and conditions determined by the Shareholders' Meeting. The plan intends to replace the previous plan approved by the Shareholders' Meeting on 18 April 2019 and scheduled to expire with the approval of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2019.

The new plan will pursue objectives, including: (i) purchasing treasury shares to be used for extraordinary transactions and share incentive schemes; (ii) offering shareholders a means of monetising their investment; (iii) the opportunity for the Company to make a good investment or to give the market a positive sign of confidence; (iv) stabilising the share price; (v) allocation of excess liquidity. The buy-back transactions could also be aimed at regulating trading.

La new plan includes the authorization to purchase, in single or multiple transactions, n. 53,322,420 ordinary shares representing a holding of no more than 20% of the share capital.

The proposal to the Shareholders' Meeting also provides that:

  • (i) the authorisation to make the purchases is requested for the period between the date of the Shareholders' Meeting's authorisation and the date of the Shareholders' Meeting called to approve the Financial Statements at 31 December 2020 (without prejudice in any case to the maximum term established by law), moreover the Shareholders' Meeting is also asked for permission to dispose of the purchased shares, without time limits;
  • (ii) the purchase transactions can be carried out in all the ways permitted by the current regulatory legislation, also according to the regulations in force at the time, to be identified at Board of Directors' discretion each time;
  • (iii) that the unit price for the purchase of the shares will be set on a case-by-case basis for each single transaction, without prejudice to the fact that the price must not be more than 20% above or below the share's reference price on the trading day prior to each purchase. This criterion does not permit the potential total maximum disbursement for the treasury share buy-back programme to be determined as of today.

The current number of treasury shares in the portfolio, as at 31 December 2019, is 6,636,485 or 2.5% of the share capital.

***

PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN 2020-2022

The Board of Directors also resolved to submit for approval to the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting a performance share plan reserved to certain employees and/or directors of DeA Capital S.p.A., subsidiaries and the parent company De Agostini S.p.A..

Performance Share Plan 2020-2022 ("PSP Plan") provides for the free assignment to beneficiaries, which will be identified by the Board of Directors no later than 31 December 2020 from among the persons holding important roles with regard to the activities carried out by the Company, of a maximum of 1,750,000 units that, where and to the extent vested, give the holder the right to convert the same into DeA Capital S.p.A. ordinary shares with a nominal value of EUR 1 each, at the rate of 1 share for each unit held, upon the expiration of the vesting period. The PSP Plan's objective is to ensure loyalty in the relationship between the beneficiaries and the Company and to provide an incentive aimed at increasing the commitment to improve corporate performance, as well as to facilitate the continued presence of persons who hold

significant positions within the Company and to align management interests with those of the Shareholders.

Terms and conditions of the PSP Plan are described in the relevant information document prepared by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article 84-bis and Annex A of the regulation adopted with Consob Regulation ("the Issuers' Regulation"), which will be made available to the public at the registered office and on the website www.deacapital.com, in the Corporate Governance section – Incentive Plans, as well as with the additional methods provided by law for the entire duration of the plans themselves.

As regards compensation plans based on existing financial instruments, details of these plans are available on the www.deacapital.com, in the Corporate Governance section - Incentive Plans.

REPORT ON REMUNERATION POLICY AND FEES PAID

Following the favourable opinion of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, the Board of Directors examined and approved the Report on remuneration policy and fees paid prepared pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law (TUF). Section I entitled "Remuneration Policy" – illustrating the remuneration policy of directors, statutory auditors and key management personnel of the Company - will be submitted to a binding vote of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 3-ter, of the Consolidated Finance Law (TUF), while Section II entitled "2019 Compensation" - which details the items comprising the remuneration of the aforementioned persons and the fees to be paid them during 2019 – will be submitted to the advisory vote of the Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to Article 123-ter, paragraph 6, of the Consolidated Finance Law (TUF).

OUTLOOK

In relation to significant events after the end of the Financial Year, in particular with reference to the macro-economic framework, the recent spread at a global level of the COVID-19 ("Coronavirus") should be noted. This may constitute a new and significant factor in the instability of the framework itself, capable above all of affecting our ability to enhance the portfolio assets and to raise funds.

While waiting to be able to more completely evaluate the effects of the aforesaid Coronavirus, the management of the DeA Capital Group will continue to be focused on the development of the Alternative Asset Management Platform, through the further growth of activities at the international level, the launch of new products and the coordination, in particular in the go-tomarket strategy, of Quaestio SGR.

DeA Capital S.p.A. will continue to maintain a constant monitoring of the situation, with the support of a solid financial structure that is able to ensure - taking into account available liquidity - attractive cash returns to Shareholders, primarily through dividends.

CALLING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

The Board of Directors has granted mandates to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, separately from each other, so that they call the Shareholders' Meeting for 20 April 2020, first call, and for 24 April 2020, second call, determining the time and place, as well as the agenda, in accordance with the Board's resolution.

The Shareholders' Meeting will be called to vote on: the approval of the Company's Financial Statements at 31 December 2019 and the proposed distribution of EUR 0.12 per share payable out of the Share Premium Reserve, as an Extraordinary Dividend; the authorisation to buy-back and dispose of treasury shares; the approval of a performance share plan; the binding vote on the Company's Remuneration Policy and an advisory vote on Section II relating to fees paid in 2019.
