PRESS RELEASE

DOVALUE BROADENS THE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP IN THE CREDIT MANAGEMENT SECTOR WITH BPER GROUP

Rome, November 6th, 2025 – doValue S.p.A. ("doValue"), a leading provider of strategic financial services and value-added solutions in Europe, is pleased to announce the strengthening of its strategic partnership in the credit management sector with BPER Banca S.p.A. ("BPER Group"), one of Italy's most dynamic and fastest-growing banking groups, which has recently completed the acquisition of Banca Popolare di Sondrio ("BPSO").

doValue and BPER Group have an existing partnership in the non-performing credit management sector, structured via a joint-venture, Gardant Bridge Servicing ("GBS"), 70% owned by doValue and 30% by BPER Group, launched in January 2024. GBS currently manages approx €2.7 billion of non-performing exposures, mostly originated by the BPER Group (on behalf of both BPER and third-party investors) and is endowed – amongst others – with the right to manage over the life of its long-term servicing contract 50% of the new inflows to UTPs and 90% of the new inflows to NPL generated every year by BPER and Banco di Sardegna.

doValue and BPER Group have agreed to broaden the operations of GBS, which – upon completion of the recently announced merger of BPSO with BPER – will continue to have the right to manage over the residual time horizon of the existing contracts (Dec-2033) 50% of the new inflows to UTPs and 90% of the new inflows to NPL generated by the enlarged BPER Group. The new combined franchise of BPER Group and BPSO has aggregated customer loans of approx. €130 billion (based on 1H25 data), an increase of approx. +40% vis-à-vis BPER Group pre merger.

As a further testament to the deepening partnership, doValue is acquiring from BPER Group a minority stake (5.1%) in Alba Leasing, Italy's fourth-largest leasing operator with total asset of over €5 billion, in which Banco BPM, another strategic banking partner of doValue, is also a relevant shareholder. This investment is designed to align with BPER Group's strategic objectives and foster new opportunities for collaboration with Alba Leasing, supporting the evolution of Italy's leasing sector, where doValue Group commands deep expertise and leadership position as non-performing credit and asset manager.

This strategic development further consolidates doValue's position as BPER Group's partner of choice for non-performing credit servicing, underscoring a continued confidence in the quality and reliability of doValue's solutions. In this transaction, doValue was supported by Deloitte Advisory as financial advisor.
