REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Bank reported a net profit of €39.4m for the twelve months, representing a sharp reduction on last year (€386.2m), due chiefly to lower dividends on investments, in addition to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on net treasury income and provisions.

Revenues were down 33%, from €840.2m to €562.9m, and reflect the following trends:

  • Net interest income rose by 8.8%, from €91.8m to €99.9m, on a lower cost of funding and higher lending volumes which offset the widespread reduction in returns on assets;
  • Net trading income was down 31.3%, from €184.9m last year (an especially positive result) to €127.1m; this item was affected by the market correction at end-March 2020 which was only recovered in part by end-June;
  • Net fee and commission income was basically stable at €231.7m, helped by a healthy contribution from private banking which added €69.7m (€54.1m), offsetting the reduction in fees earned from investment banking to €162m (30/6/19: €177m);
  • Dividends from investments reduced from €332.4m to €104.2m, reflecting the decision by Compass Banca to cancel this year's dividend (a €150m dividend was paid last year), plus the partial deferral of the Assicurazioni Generali 2019 dividend1 (€101.4m, compared with €182.4m) last year.

Operating costs were down 4%, from €419.6m to €402.7m, in particular labour costs (down 7.8%, from €240.8m to €221.9m), reflecting the cut in the variable remuneration component; meanwhile administrative expenses were virtually unchanged, up 1.1% (from €178.8m to €180.8m).

1 The Board of Directors of Assicurazioni Generali confirmed to the group's shareholders that a €0.96 dividend would be paid, in two tranches: one of €0.50 per share, paid in May 2020; and one of €0.46 per share, payable by the year-end subject to the Board verifying that the capital and regulatory requirements are met.

Loan loss provisions reflect the increase in provisioning for performing positions, calculated based on the new macroeconomic scenario2 which led to a further approx. €42m being set aside, thus swallowing up the majority of the writebacks credited as a result of two substantial UTP positions returning to performing status; overall net writebacks of €15.7m were credited, much lower than the €58.6m booked last year.

Provisions for other financial assets totalled €21.8m (€4.8m), after downward adjustments to other funds and securities recognized at fair value amounting to €11.3m, and higher provisioning for the banking book portfolios (up from €3.6m to €10.5m) reflecting the impact of IFRS 9 and the downgrade in the republic of Italy's rating in May 2020 (€3.3m).

Writedowns to investments totalled €61.4m (€4.2m) mainly include the impairment charges to the investment in RAM (€56.9m), plus €4.5m to cover Cairn Capital's current operating losses recorded at end-2019.

Results for the year were impacted by higher payments to the resolution and deposit guarantee funds (up from €29m to €39.7m), €29.9m of which to the Single Resolution Fund.

On the balance-sheet side, total assets were down slightly from €65.9bn to €64.8bn, due to lower treasury asset volume: i.e. trading assets (from €10bn to €9.2bn) and banking book securities (from €10.8bn to €9.6bn). Conversely, customer loans grew from €28.7bn to €30.5bn, matched by growth in funding which reflects the increased use of T-LTRO facility (from €4.3bn to €5.7bn, €3bn of which in connection with the new programme).

Mediobanca's capital ratios as at 30 June 2020 reflect the most recent updates to the relevant regulations (the CRR, plus Bank of Italy circular no. 285 on related parties3 ,) comfortably above the limits set by the regulations and higher than last

2 The internal scenario adopted assumes Italian GDP will fall by 11.6% in 2020, recover by 0.8% in 2021 and climb 5.2% in 2022; for the Eurozone the figures are respectively -9.2%, +0.1% and +4.7%, for the United States - 10.8%, +7.6% and 6.0% (the Group's other two core geographies). 3

The most recent update to Bank of Italy circular no. 285 amended the national regulations on the assumption of risks versus related parties. As a result, exposures to insurance companies held in accordance with the provisions of Article 471 of the CRR (the "Danish Compromise") are excluded from calculation of the exposure limits. In the light of this change and until June 2021 (when CRR II comes into force), the Group's investment in the Assicurazioni Generali group is deducted from regulatory capital in order to respect the general concentration limit of 25% of eligible capital (CRR large exposures), rather than the narrower limit of 20% for related parties.

year: the Common Equity Ratio increased from 14.37% to 14.81% despite the modest profit for the twelve months. Much of the increase is due to the new accounting treatment for the Assicurazioni Generali investment following changes to the regulations on related parties, application of which has resulted in direct and indirect deductions being approx. 35 bps lower. The total capital ratio remained stable at 18.25%. In view of the good performance in its capital ratios, Mediobanca has decided not to take up the option of using the additional phase-in measures (or "prudential filters") introduced by the regulator in recent months to neutralize the effect of the impairment charges taken under IFRS 9 and the reduction in valuation reserves for EU government securities.

The fully-loaded ratios, i.e. without weighting the Assicurazioni Generali investment at 370% and with full application of the IFRS 9 effect, stood at 13.7% (CET1 ratio) and 17.6% (total capital ratio), higher than last year (CET1 ratio: 13.1%; total capital ratio: 17.4%).

In view of the guidance issued by the regulators and the economic scenario being so uncertain, the Board of Directors has decided not to propose payment of a dividend this year.

REVIEW OF KEY ITEMS

Funding – funding grew from €42.8bn to €46.3bn, chiefly reflecting the increased use of the T-LTRO instrument (up from €4.3bn to €5.7bn, including €3bn for the most recent programme). There were also increases in deposits gathered via CheBanca! (from €11.7bn to €12.2bn) and the Private Banking channel (from €4bn to €4.3bn). The increase in debt security funding (from €15.8bn to €16.3bn) reflects the completion of the funding plan for the financial year, with new issues of €3.9bn, against redemptions and buybacks totalling €3.4bn. The Bank's first senior nonpreferred bond was issued in January 2020 (maturing in five years at 1.125%), thus increasing the Group's already comfortable MREL position by €500m.

Loans and advances to customers – the 6.4% increase in customer loans, from €28.7bn to €30.5bn, chiefly regards loans to corporates, which rose from €11.1bn to €12.4bn, following new loans of €4.5bn against redemptions amounting to €3.2bn, €1.2bn of which were early redemptions; loans to Private Banking customers were basically stable at €1.1bn. The increase in exposures to Group companies (which rose from €16.5bn to €17bn) mainly involved CheBanca! and the decision to gradually transfer interest rate and liquidity risks on mortgages to treasury management at the parent company level.

Gross non-performing loans totalled €469m (€643m), and largely involve four corporate exposures (two fewer than last year, with the nominal value €160m lower) and four Private Banking positions (unchanged); they account for 3.5% of total loans (30/6/19: 5.3%). Net NPLs meanwhile totalled €287m (€387m), equal to 2.1% of the total loan book (compared with 3.2% last year), with a coverage ratio of 38.7%

(39.9%). Bad debts, all of which in relation to Private Banking activity, were unchanged at €11m and have been written off almost entirely (99.8%). The figures also include non-performing exposures for positions backed by intercompany guarantees issued to Mediobanca International involving a gross amount of €16.3m, with provisions of €3.9m.

In response to the economic crisis generated by the Covid-19 emergency, Mediobanca has adhered to the provisions introduced by the "Cura Italia" decree,4 allowing all SME clients with mortgages to suspend repayments for a period of time.5 Such items in any case involve only a residual number of clients: as at 30 June 2020, only three counterparties had taken up this option, involving a total amount of €1.2m.6

Mediobanca has received around thirty applications for waivers to financial covenants from corporate clients; only five of these resulted in a payment of principal amount or interest being postponed, involving a total of €12m. Given the temporary nature of the difficulties and the lack of structural liquidity problems in these cases, the majority of the waivers granted have not been classified as forbearance measures, reducing the number of positions reclassified as Stage 2 to just four. The Stage 2 positions decreased from €527.9m to €437.2m (3.2% of total loans).

Two exposures already classified as Stage 2 in an amount of €692,000 and one remaining as Stage 1 for €508,000.

Equity investments — this heading includes controlling interests, interests in associates, shares held as part of the banking book and classified as Hold to Collect and Sell, and holdings in funds which under IFRS 9 have to be recognized at fair value through profit and loss.

The increase in equity investments, from €3.9bn to €4.1bn, is chiefly attributable to Mediobanca subscribing to an Additional Tier 1 instrument issued by CheBanca! (€160m), the purpose of which is to optimize the individual leverage ratio, which includes intercompany positions.

Investments in associates are unchanged at €1,135.3m, and chiefly regard the stakes held in:

  • Assicurazioni Generali, equal to 12.9% of the ordinary share capital booked at €1,096.3m, which reflects a gain at the reporting date of €1.634,3m (€1.470,1m based on current prices);
  • Istituto Europeo di Oncologia (25.4% of the ordinary share capital), carried at €39m.

Interests in subsidiaries decreased from €2,056.4m to €2,015.4m, chiefly due to the impairment charges for RAM totalling €46.4m, which became necessary following the sharp contraction in the company's earnings due to redemptions by institutional clients and the reduced growth prospects as a result. During the twelve months Mediobanca's investment in Cairn Capital increased from 60.8% to 70.9%, after subscribing to a capital increase by the company (in an amount of €4.5m, to cover the losses incurred by Cairn in 2019, which accordingly was written off entirely to earnings) and buying out minority interests (for €3.7m).

Equities (listed and unlisted) rose from €136.3m to €139m, due to upward adjustments to reflect fair value at the reporting date totalling €3m, which were taken through net equity reserves. Seed capital invested in funds managed by Group companies rose by €31.1m, representing the difference between net investments for the twelve months (adding €41m) and alignment to the investments' respective NAVs at the reporting date (accounting for a total of €12.1m). Holdings in private equity and other funds increased from €165.9m to €225.5m, following net payments of €57.5m (chiefly due to subscription to a new fund with ABS as underlying instrument) and upward value adjustments totalling €2.1m.

This segment reflects a value of €9,592.2m following purchases of €5.2bn (mostly Italian government securities classified as HTC&S), with sales and redemptions totalling €6.4bn and profit-taking of €51.6m. The OCI reserve decreased from €36.2m to €13.1m, mainly due to the sales for the period referred to above, plus downward fair value measurements at the reporting date of €6.3m.

Roughly half this item consists of sovereign debt securities, which increased from €4.3bn to €4.4bn, €3bn of which Italian, with duration of approx. four years. The Group's securitizations (with Compass Banca receivables as the underlying instrument) represent almost 30% of the total, despite reducing in the twelve months from €3.9bn to €2.6bn in line with the repayment schedule.

Unrealized gains on securities classified as HTC (which are recognized at cost) decreased from €61.9m to €49.6m.

Net treasury assets — the balance between financial instruments held for trading purposes and trading assets and liabilities totalled €6,555.7m, far higher than the €4,648.2m reported last year, due to the increased recourse to deposits held with the ECB which totalled €3.1bn (€632.1m), and were only part offset by a substantial

reduction in the net balance of trading instruments, which halved (from €1,767m to €863m), reflecting both the decrease in equity investments (from €2,589.6m to €1,789.7m) and a rise in issues of certificates (from €864.4m to €1,357.1m).

Tangible and intangible assets – the increase in this item for the twelve months (up 14%, from €147.6m to €168.4m) refers to the introduction of IFRS 16, which has led to a Right of Use being booked in respect of assets leased totalling €22.7m. Depreciation and amortization in particular rose to €9.2m, given that as from this year this item also includes the effect of IFRS 16 (€6m).

Provisions – provisions totalled €121.6m, slightly lower than the figure reported last year (€126m), despite the sharp increase in amounts set aside for commitments to disburse finance and guarantees (which rose from €22m to €42.5m) following adjustment to the new macroeconomic scenario. Indeed, other provisions totalling €27.1m were released during the twelve months, mostly those that had been set aside to cover tax risk, after the dispute over funds transfer pricing with Mediobanca International was settled, against new provisions of €2.2m (mostly to cover overdue invoices and liquidation costs in connection with the Frankfurt branch office). The staff severance component was basically in line with last year at €7.7m (€7.8m).

Net equity – net equity reduced from €5,186.8m to €4,713.9m, reflecting reductions in the various components for the twelve months only in part offset by the profit for the year (€39.4m); the main movements included:

  • Distribution of the 2019 dividend (€408.5m);
  • Completion of the share buyback scheme, with the purchase of 13 million shares worth €105.5m, to reach the target of 3% of the share capital, i.e. 26.6 million shares, including the distribution of 1.7 million shares in November 2019 in connection with the performance share scheme;
  • Lower valuation reserves, down from €85.7m to €74m, mostly due to the share of FVOCI assets (the balance of which declined from €80.3m to €70.5m).

Share capital was unchanged at €443.6m, while first-time adoption of IFRS 167 had virtually no impact (involving only a charge of €32,000).

Profit and loss account

Net interest income — Net interest income rose from €91.8m to €99.9m, an increase of 8.8%, due to the lower cost of funding helped by use of less expenses funding sources (i.e. T-LTRO), despite the widespread reduction in returns on assets (in particular banking book securities and loans to large corporates) and the substantial liquidity position maintained to preserve the LCR and NSFR indicators.

Net treasury income totalled €127.1m, down 31.3% on the outstanding performance delivered last year (€184.9m). The market crisis post-Covid 19 was reflected in all segments: Capital Market Solutions client activity decreased from €128.3m to €83m, impacted by the prohibition and/or postponement 2019 dividends on the valuation of options used to hedge certificates issued (the impact is estimated at approx. €30m); gains on the banking book reduced from €48.9m to €36.2m, following a negative performance by derivatives used in connection with trading book management; proprietary trading delivered a €7.7m loss, representing a €10.6m reduction on last year; and dividends on OCI shares and other income from funds decreased from €18.3m to €15.6m.

Dividends from equity investments and associates – these totalled €104.2m (€332.4m), consisting of the Assicurazioni Generali dividend (which reduced sharply, from €182.4m to €101.4m, given that payment of roughly half the 2019 dividend was postponed from May until November), plus a one-off distribution by Spafid in an amount of €2.8m (paid in cash as to €1.5m, with payment of the other €1.3m to be made by delivery of an equivalent amount in gold, to be booked under Other assets). It should be noted that the shareholders of Compass Banca, gathered in extraordinary general meeting, decided to cancel payment of the 2019 dividend (a €150m dividend was paid last year).

Operating costs – the decrease in operating costs, which were down 4% (from €419.6m to €402.7m), was due to labour costs (down 7.8%, from €240.8m to €221.9m), in particular to the sharp reduction in the variable remuneration component following the decision by members of the governing bodies to waive part of the emoluments due to them;8 the aggregate saving (€640,000) has been

Overheads were basically flat at €180.8m (€178.8m), with administrative expenses reducing very slightly (down 1.3%), despite leasing instalments (including on company cars assigned to staff) and property renting charges being reclassified as depreciation and amortization (for a total of approx. €6m) following the adoption of IFRS 16. During the twelve months under review there were substantial savings in

the area of spending on consultancy services (which were down 20.2%, from €21.1m to €16.8m); this, however, was more than offset by the planned increases in IT spending (info-provider and data processing costs).

Loan loss provisions (writebacks) – the sharp reduction in writebacks (from €58.6m to €15.7m) reflects the recalculation of the IFRS 9 provisioning for performing loans, which has been adapted to the new macroeconomic scenario, involving an amount of €42m, roughly €7m of which in connection with intercompany exposures. These adjustments eroded the €60m writebacks deriving from two substantial UTP positions returning to performing status.

Provisions for other financial assets 9 – During the year under review, provisions were taken in an amount of €21.8m, including €1m in intercompany accounts; €4.8m of which HTC&S, €3.6m HTC, and €2.1m other financial assets (principally time deposits and repos). Recognition of holdings in funds at fair value, in particular seed capital invested in equity products (RAM) and credit products (Cairn) was in negative territory at €11.3m (€1.2m).

Hold-to-Collect & Sell securities (0,8) (4,8)
Other (1,2) (11,3)
Total (4,8) (21,8)

Impairment charges to investments – this item totals €61.4m, and includes the effects of the €56.9m charge taken for the RAM investment (€10.5m of which in relation to the Swiss franc hedge), and the writeoff of the Bank's contribution to the capital increase by Cairn to cover the €4.5m operating loss incurred by the company in 2019.

9 Under IFRS 9, the impairment process is extended to include all financial assets (securities, repos, deposits and current accounts) recognized at cost (HTC) and debt securities recognized FVOCI (HTC&S), including intercompany accounts.

Other gains and losses — this heading contains the contributions to the resolution and deposit guarantee funds, which impacted on the results for the year, rose from €29m to €39.7m, in particular the higher payment made to the Single Resolution Fund (which rose from €20.9m to €29.9m), reflecting the increase in deposits at system level, which also caused the one-off payment to the Italian national resolution system (which increased from €7.6m to €9.5m).

Income tax — income tax for the year decreased from €55m to €13.6m, a reduction which was significantly lower than the decline in profit before tax (from €441.2m to €53m), due to the lower percentage accounted for by dividends on investments assisted by partial exemption, and due to the fact that the impairment charges to investments are no longer tax-deductible. The tax rate too was affected by the fact that part of depreciation and amortization charges and other administrative expenses are no longer deductible for IRAP tax purposes, and rose from 12.5% to 25.7% as a result.

Mediobanca (as consolidating entity) has adopted tax consolidation, which includes Compass Banca, SelmaBipiemme Leasing, MIS, CheBanca!, MBCredit Solutions, Futuro and Spafid Connect. Relations between the consolidating and consolidated entities are governed by bilateral agreements regulating cash flows, exchanges of information and the individual companies' responsibilities versus the revenue authorities.

* * *

Significant events that have taken place during the twelve months under review include:

— in October 2020 an agreement was reached with the Italian authority Agenzia delle Entrate regarding the dispute over the application of transfer

pricing between Mediobanca S.p.A. and Mediobanca International SA (based in Luxembourg) in the financial years from 2012-13 to 2016-17. The agreement entailed extra costs of €21m plus interest (but no fines). At the same time, Mediobanca agreed on a new funds transfer pricing methodology with the tax authority that should minimize tax risk in the future. The Bank also took the opportunity to voluntarily release profit reserves for a total of €42m deriving from Mediobanca International's activities prior to 2002, when the Italian transparency tax mechanism was not yet operative for companies headquartered in countries with favourable tax regimes (blacklisted countries). The impact on earnings was largely absorbed by amounts released from the provision for risks and charges resulting from the analysis of the tax risk subsequent to the agreement being finalized;

  • a Crisis Unit was established to tackle the healthcare emergency, chaired by the Group General Manager, with the objective of ensuring the Group's operations while safeguarding the health and safety of staff and clients; working from home was encouraged, working hours were reduced at the retail branches (which remained open during the lockdown period but were operative basically by appointment only), and a specific healthcare policy was adopted;
  • in this year, which will be remembered above all for the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has continued to focus its attention on the communities in which it operates and their institutions. During phase 1 of the emergency, a total of €1.1m was donated to the region of Lombardy, the Milan municipality fund for mutual assistance, and the Luigi Sacco Hospital also in Milan (this sum includes contributions made by the Group's own staff). During June, a further €950,000 was donated to three solidarity initiatives selected by the Group CSR Committee: the "Sempre con Voi" fund to support the families of doctors and healthcare workers who lost their lives fighting Covid-19; the mutual assistance fund of the city of Bergamo, and non-profit organization "Mission Bambini" which provides IT equipment to children in need. These donations also reflect the decision on

the part of management, directors and statutory auditors to forego or reduce their salaries.10

10 Chairman Renato Pagliaro, Chief Executive Officer Alberto Nagel and Group General Manager Francesco Saverio Vinci all waived the emoluments due to them in respect of their positions as Board members, and committed to donating 30 percent of their fixed salaries for May-December 2020 to initiatives linked to the emergency. The statutory auditors of Mediobanca have also elected to support the initiatives, waiving 20% of their annual emoluments.

Related party disclosure

Financial accounts outstanding as at 30 June 2020 between companies forming part of the Mediobanca Group and related parties and transactions undertaken between such parties during the financial year, are illustrated in Part H of the notes to the accounts, along with all the information required in respect of transparency pursuant to Consob resolution 17221 issued on 12 March 2010.

All such accounts fall within the company's ordinary operations, are maintained on an arm's length basis, and are entered into in the interests of the Group itself. No atypical or unusual transactions have been entered into with these counterparties.

Other information

With regard to securities trading, a total of 35.2 million Mediobanca shares were traded on behalf of customers, worth €274.2m.

Information regarding the Bank's ownership structure as required under Article 123-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98 is contained in the annual statement on corporate governance attached hereto and available on the Bank's website (Governance).

Assets which have been revalued and recorded in the balance sheet are listed in table A.

The other information on ratings and research is shown on p. 69 of the consolidated Review of Operations.

Information on the most important litigation pending involving the Bank is also provided in Liabilities, section 10.

Outlook

The outlook for the next financial year remains conditional upon the macroeconomic scenario which is weak and uncertain. The Bank has launched a series of initiatives to keep down the cost of funding and increase the proprietary portfolio's contribution, including through temporary use of the T-LTRO programme which is expected to boost net interest income. Fee income should increase, driven by Corporate and Investment Banking, where the deal pipeline is decidedly robust, whereas Private Banking could see effects on performances and placements. In the absence of any market corrections which are not foreseeable, the contribution from net trading income should return to the levels seen in previous years, as should dividends from the equity investments. Costs are expected to increase slightly, as a result of the IT investment plan being confirmed. The cost of risk should remain at positive levels, and again will be conditional upon the performance of the UTP positions.

A.1 – GENERAL POLICIES

SECTION 1

Statement of conformity with IAS/IFRS

The Mediobanca individual financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2020 have, as required by Italian Legislative Decree 38/05, been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the respective interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), which were adopted by the European Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6 of regulation CE 1606/02 issued by the European Parliament and Council on 19 July 2002. The individual financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2020 have also been prepared on the basis of the "Instructions on preparing statutory and consolidated financial statements for banks and financial companies which control banking groups" issued by the Bank of Italy in its circular no. 262 on 22 December 2005 (sixth update issued on 30 November 2020), which lay down the structure to be used in compiling and preparing the financial statements and the contents of the notes to the accounts.

SECTION 2

General principles

These individual financial statements comprise:

  • Balance sheet;
  • Profit and loss account;
  • Comprehensive income statement;
  • Statement of changes to net equity;
  • Cash flow statement (direct method);

– Notes to the accounts.

All the statements have been drawn up in conformity with the general principles provided for under IAS and the accounting policies illustrated in part A.2, and show data for the period under review compared with that for the previous financial year in the case of balance-sheet figures or the corresponding period of the previous financial year for profit-and-loss data.

IFRS 16 came into force on 1 January 2019. The new standard has been incorporated into the Group's accounting policies, and has been applied since 1 July 2019, for further details please see "New IFRS 16: Leasing" in this section. Certain other changes to the accounting standards have also been applied since 1 July 2019, none of which is of especial relevance to the Mediobanca Group, having been ratified by the European Commission in the course of 2018 and 2019. In particular the following regulations have come into force: Commission Regulation no. 2018/498 of 22 March 2018 – Amendments to IFRS 9 – Prepayment features with negative compensation; no. 2019/237 of 8 February 2019 – Amendments to IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures; no. 2019/402 of 13 March 2019 – Amendments to IAS 19 – Employee benefits; no. 2019/412 of 14 March 2019 on Amendments to IAS 12 – Income taxes, Amendments to IAS 23 – Borrowing costs, Amendments to IFRS 3 – Business combinations, Amendments to IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements; no. 2018/1595 of 23 October 2018 – Adoption of IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over income tax treatments, which clarifies how to apply the booking and valuation criteria for tax laid down in IAS 12 "Income taxes" (for current and deferred tax assets and liabilities), in cases where there is uncertainty over how to account for income tax. According to IFRIC 23, the entity must assess if the taxation authority is likely to accept an uncertain tax treatment; if it is, it must establish a value for it, if not, in order to establish the taxable income (tax loss) and the other values required for tax purposes, it must apply either the most likely amount or expected value methods. The interpretation provides closer definition of the treatment of uncertainty, but for the Mediobanca Group this has not generated material changes from the approach already adopted.

It should also be noted that the Mediobanca Group has adopted the new definition of default, ahead of its coming to force, as from 30 September 2019; for further details reference is made to "Part E – Section 3 – Non-performing credit exposures".

For purposes of full disclosure, it should be noted that the following regulations have been approved by the European Commission during the twelve months under review: Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2075,1 Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/21042 of 29 November 2019, Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/343 of 15 January 2020, and Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/551,4 which provide explanations and clarifications of certain IAS and IFRS already in force. All these amendments and additions will be applied by the Mediobanca Group as from 1 July 2020.

Statements have also been made by the regulatory and supervisory authorities regarding the most suitable means for applying the reporting standards in relation to the Covid-19 situation. Some of the most significant of these statements, which for the most part were issued regarding the quarterly and half-yearly reporting, and hence apply to the annual financial statements as well, were as follows:

― Consob:

Reminder no. 8/20 of 16 July 2020 and Reminder no. 6/20 of 9 April 2020 regarding: "Covid 19 – Richiamo di attenzione sull'informativa finanziaria", which draws the attention of members of the management and control bodies and heads of company financial reporting of the need to observe the principles underpinning the process of producing financing reporting in view of the impact which the effects of the pandemic could have with reference to business continuity, to application of IFRS 9 on financial assets, and to impairment testing;

As stated in the press release issued on 30 July 2020, Mediobanca is committed to executing the strategic and operating priorities set out in its 2020-23 Strategic Plan, leveraging on the distinctive features of its business model and its proven track record of tackling crisis periods and turning problems into opportunities. In the uncertainty that still characterizes the reference macroeconomic scenario, the Group still has a robust capital position, with a CET1 ratio at all-time highs, and the expectations are currently for the operating scenario to normalize progressively by

December 2020, to guarantee the strategic guidelines and objectives set in the 2019- 23 Strategic Plan approved in November 2019.

New IFRS 16: Leasing

Regulatory provisions

On 1 July 2019 the new IFRS 16 on "Leasing" came into force, replacing IAS 17 and its respective interpretations,6 as ratified by the European Commission under Regulation no. 1986/2017.

The standard introduces a change in the definition of leasing, whereby a lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration, meaning that long-term rental or hire contracts are also included.

The new standard also requires the lessee to represent the amount of the "right of use" for the asset covered by the leasing/rental agreement in its accounts as an asset, against the related liability in respect of the future instalments due on it discounted as at the reporting date. Thereafter the right of use is amortized throughout the useful life of the contract and the obligation will be paid off through payments of the instalments due on the lease plus interest expenses accruing. The impact on profit and loss does not change across the life of the contracts as a whole, but does reflect a different distribution in terms of timing. As provided by the new standard, the Annual Report will include the additional disclosure in a specific section. Thus there is no longer any distinction between the methods of accounting for operating and finance leases.

With regard to the accounting model for the lessor, there are no substantial changes as the distinction in treatment between operating and financial leases continues to apply in continuity with the existing IAS 17.

In implementing the new reporting standard, the Mediobanca Group has decided to:

6 IFRIC 4 "Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease", SIC 15 "Operating Leases – Incentives", and SIC 27 "Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease".

  • ― Use the "modified retrospective approach" at the FTA stage, which means recording the effect of first-time adoption cumulatively, without restating the comparative data, by calculating the value of the obligation as at the date of firsttime adoption;
  • ― Adopt some of the simplifications permitted by the new reporting standard, thus excluding from the representation contracts with a duration of twelve months or less calculated at FTA, contracts involving amounts of less than €5,000 ("low value"), and contracts for intangible assets;
  • ― Not to strip out the service components from the leases themselves, and so to account for the entire contract as a lease, and to extrapolate the rate for discounting future cash flows from the Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) curve in force as at the date in question;
  • ― If the original contract has been sub-leased to a counterparty, liability in respect of the original lease is balanced by an amount receivable from the subscriber rather than by the value in use;

The lease's duration is estimated on the basis of the contract, experience acquired and information available at the date of first-time adoption regarding the exercise of options to extend or repay the lease early.

Effects of First Time Adoption (FTA)

Since the new principle has come into force and based on the transition choices that have been made, the Group's assets have increased by €29.3m due to the right of use over properties, vehicles and other core goods being recognized under heading 90, "Property, plant and equipment".

This was matched by an equivalent increase in heading 10 "Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost", representing the payment obligations in respect of future instalments on the leases.

As required by the reporting standard, sub-leasing contracts are recorded in heading 40 "Financial assets recognized at amortized cost" in an amount of approx. €2.5m; the difference between the instalment collected from the sale and the one paid in the leasing contract, approx. €32,000, was taken to Net equity.

A table reconciling the balance-sheet entries at 30 June 2019 pursuant to IAS 17 and at 1 July 2019 pursuant to IFRS 16 is shown below:

The overall value in use (recognized to Property, plant and equipment) is €26.8m, made up as follows:

  • Value in use of properties: €23.1m;
  • Value in use of vehicles: €3.6m;
  • Value in use of other assets: €0.1m.

The increase in assets also affects the RWAs with an approx. 2 bps impact on the capital ratios.

The table below shows a reconciliation of future commitments in respect of leases pursuant to IAS 17 with the liabilities recorded in respect of leases in the financial statements. The difference is due to the effect of discounting the amount payable at the marginal financing rate. As at the FTA date, the weighted average marginal financing rate used for liabilities in respect of leasing was 1%. The curve is revised on a regular monthly basis.

During the twelve months under review, Mediobanca continued to record new operating leases and contract renewals falling within the IFRS 16 scope of application by making use of the exemptions used in a FTA scenario.

Group project on interbank benchmark rates

Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation", or "BMR)") has introduced new rules to avert the risks of manipulation and ensure the integrity and accuracy of the indices used as benchmarks for the valuation of financial instruments and contracts and to measure the performances of investment funds.

The BMR incorporates the guidelines of the Financial Stability Board (FSB-IOSCO) on the need to reform interbank rates in order to restore the integrity of these indicators following instances of market manipulation, and also applies to the interest rates most frequently used on markets, such as Euribor, Eonia and Libor ("critical benchmarks"), which, except for Euribor, will no longer be able to be used starting from 1 January 2022.

Euribor itself was reformed during 2019 regarding the quote mechanism and is now in line with the requisites set by the Regulation, requiring no further action from the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI). Euribor can therefore be used after 1 January 2022, hence the fair value hedges related to Euribor are considered not to be impacted by the reform.

56 For EONIA, by contrast, the reform is still in progress. At present, since 2 October 2019 EONIA has been complemented by a new unsecured overnight rate, the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR), which will replace EONIA in full starting from 1 January 2022. On 27 July 2020, the London Clearing House was the first to use the new interest rate as the discount curve for IRS products. The effectiveness tests have therefore taken this change into account since end-July 2020. It will still be possible to calculate EONIA as €STR plus a fixed spread.

Under the reform of LIBOR rates, which is still in progress, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will no longer require the banks in the panel to submit quotes from 1 January 2022, and the market is already moving towards alternative rates identified for the different currencies in which Libor is denominated.

However, the uncertainty caused by the lack of a single alternative parameter for the whole market, in particular in the valuation of the economic relationship between hedged item and hedging instrument, could lead to hedging arrangements being discontinued. To prevent this from happening, on 26 September 2019 IASB made some temporary exceptions to the regulations (chiefly regarding IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7) that will remain in force until the reform of the benchmark indicators is complete. The exceptions mainly refer to the possibility, in valuing the economic relationship, of the benchmark used to determine the interest rate on the hedged or hedging instrument not being altered following the reform of the rates themselves, until the change itself has taken place. These exceptions have been incorporated by the European Union through Regulation (EU) 2020/34 of 15 January 2020 ("Regulation 34").

The Mediobanca Group has set up a working group to monitor the development of the interest rate reform, to supervise implementation for the Group as a whole, and to draw up all the operating procedures necessary for realization and application within 2022. In particular, a Group assessment has been carried out to identify the financial products affected, the respective exposures, and the types of contract potentially requiring revision. Internal regulations have been drawn up to address scenarios in which the benchmark interest rates used by Mediobanca Group undergo material changes or are discontinued.

For the purposes of these financial statements, the Group has chosen to adopt Regulation 34 in advance, thereby doing away with the uncertainty of interpretation for certain hedge contracts indexed to underlying benchmark rates that are due to be replaced. These involve in particular IRS contracts with USD Libor as the underlying

benchmark, taken out by Mediobanca S.p.A. to hedge bond issues, involving a notional amount of \$2,050m.

SECTION 3

Events subsequent to the reporting date

No events have taken place that would cause the results presented in the consolidated report for the twelve months ended 30 June 2020 to be amended.

SECTION 4

Other aspects

The individual financial statements and the individual accounts of Mediobanca S.p.A. have been audited by external auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. as required by Italian Legislative Decree 39/10 and under the resolution adopted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 October 2012, for the 2013- 21 financial years.

A.2 – Significant accounting policies

Financial assets recognized at amortized cost

These include loans and advances to customers and banks, debt securities and repo transactions which meet the following conditions:

  • the financial instrument is held and managed based on the Hold-to-collect business model, i.e. with the objective of holding it in order to collect the cash flows provided for in the contract;
  • such contractual cash flows consist entirely of payment of principal amount and interest (and therefore meet the requisites set by the SPPI test).

This heading also includes receivables originated from financial leasing transactions, the valuation and classification rules for which are governed by IAS 16 (cf. below), even though the impairment rules introduced by IFRS 9 apply for valuation purposes.

The Group business model should reflect the ways in which financial assets are managed at a portfolio level (and not at instrument level), on the basis of factors observable at a portfolio level (and not at instrument level):

  • operating procedure adopted by management in the process of performance evaluation;
  • risk type and procedure for managing risks taken, including indicators for portfolio rotation;
  • means for determining remuneration mechanisms for decision-making managers.

The business model is based on expected reasonable scenarios (without considering "worst case" and "best case" scenarios), and in the event of cash flows differing from those estimated at initial recognition, the Group is not bound to

change the classification of financial instruments forming part of the portfolio, but uses the information for deciding the classification of new financial instruments.7

At initial recognition, the Group analyses contractual cash flows for the instruments to check whether the instrument, product or sub-product passes the SPPI test. In this connection, the Group has developed a standardized process for performing the test, which involves analysing the loans using a specific tool, developed internally, which is structured on the basis of decision-making trees, at the level of the individual financial instrument or product based on their different degrees of customization. If the test is not passed, the tool will show that the assets should be recognized at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). The method by which loans are tested differs according to whether or not the asset concerned is a retail or corporate loan: at product level for retail loans, individually for corporate loans. An external info-provider is used to test debt securities; if, however, the results of the test are unavailable, the instrument is analysed using the SPPI tool. When contractual cash flows for the instrument do not represent solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding amount, the Group mandatorily classifies the instrument at fair value through profit and loss.

At the initial recognition date, financial assets are recognized at fair value, including any costs or income directly attributable to individual transactions that can be established from the outset even if they are actually settled at later stages. The recognition value does not, however, factor in costs with the above characteristics which are repaid separately by the borrower, or may be classified as normal internal administrative expenses.

The instrument is recognized at amortized cost, i.e. the initial value less/plus the repayments of principal made, writedowns/writebacks, and amortization – calculated using the effective interest rate method – of the difference between the amount disbursed and the amount repayable at maturity, adjusted to reflect expected losses.

7 These considerations are stated in the internal management policies, which reiterate the link between business model and accounting treatment, and introduce frequency and materiality thresholds for movements in portfolios of assets recognized at amortized cost.

The amortized cost method is not used for short-term receivables, as the effect of discounting them is negligible; for this reason, such receivables are recognized at historical cost. The original effective interest rate is defined as the rate of interest which renders the discounted value of future cash flows deriving from the loan or receivable by way of principal and interest equal to the initial recognition value of the loan or receivable.

The original effective interest rate for each loan remains unchanged in subsequent years, even if new terms are negotiated leading to a reduction to below market rates, including non-interest-bearing loans. The relevant value adjustment is taken through the profit and loss account.

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, the financial assets are split into three different categories:

  • Stage 1: this includes exposures at their initial recognition date for as long as there is no significant impairment to their credit standing; for such instruments, the expected loss is to be calculated on the basis of default events which are possible within twelve months of the reporting date;
  • Stage 2: this includes exposures which, while not classified as impaired as such, have nonetheless experienced significant impairment to their credit standing since the initial recognition date; in moving from stage 1 to stage 2, the expected loss must be calculated for the outstanding life of the instrument;
  • Stage 3: this category consists of impaired exposures according to the definition provided in the regulations. In moving to stage 3, exposures are valued individually, that is, the value adjustment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value at the reference date (amortized cost) and the discounted value of the expected cash flows, which are calculated by applying the original effective interest rate. The cash flow estimates factor in the expected collection times, the probable net realizable value of any guarantees, and costs which are likely to be incurred in order to recover the credit exposure from a forward-looking perspective which takes account of alternative recovery scenarios and developments in the economic cycle.

The Group policy adopted to establish what constitutes significant increases in credit risk takes both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of each lending transaction or financial instrument into account. The following in particular are considered decisive: forbearance measures having been granted; the 30 days past due criterion; and other backstops having been identified, such as reclassification to watchlist status in accordance with the rules on credit risk monitoring. During the Covid-19 pandemic and in line with the guidance issued by the EBA, ECB, Consob and ESMA, the Mediobanca Group decided not to apply automatic reclassification mechanisms for moratoria granted as part of the support programmes approved by the law, category association agreements or equivalent voluntary initiatives adopted by the individual companies, as described in further depth in Part E of the Notes to the Accounts. Moreover, the Group only makes very limited use of the simplified low credit risk exemption approach.

Purchased or originated credit impaired items (POCIs) are receivables which are already impaired at the point in time when they are acquired or disbursed. At the initial recognition date they are recognized at amortized cost on the basis of an internal rate of return which is calculated using an estimate of the recovery flows expected for the item, and interest is calculated later using an internal rate of return adapted to the circumstances.

Following initial recognition, all financial assets recognized at amortized cost are subject to the impairment model based on the expected loss, i.e. performing as well as non-performing assets.

Impairment regards losses which are expected to materialize in the twelve months following the reference date of the financial statement, or, in cases where a significant increase in credit risk is noted, the losses which are expected to materialize throughout the rest of the instrument's life. Both the twelve-month and outstanding life expected losses can be calculated on an individual or collective basis according to the nature of the underlying portfolio.

The expected credit losses8 are recorded and released only insofar as the changes actually occur. For financial instruments held to be in default, the Group records an expected loss for the outstanding life of the instrument (similar to stage 2 above); while value adjustments are calculated for all the exposures split into different categories, factoring in forward-looking information which reflects macro-economic factors.

Financial assets recognized at fair value through profit and loss

These include financial assets held for trading and other financial assets that must be recognized at fair value.9

Financial assets held for trading are assets which have been acquired or issued principally for the purpose of being traded. This category comprises debt securities, equities, loans held for trading purposes, and the positive value of derivatives held for trading including those embedded in complex instruments such as structured bonds (recorded separately).

Financial assets that must be recognized at fair value are assets which are not held for trading but must compulsorily be recognized at fair value through profit and loss on the grounds that they do not meet the requisites to be recognized at amortized cost. In particular, after clarification from the IFRS Interpretation Committee, holdings in mutual funds are also classified in this category.10

At the settlement date for securities and subscription date for derivatives, such assets are recognized at fair value not including any transaction expenses or income directly attributable to the asset concerned, which are taken through the profit and loss account. Following their initial recognition they continue to be recognized at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recorded in the profit and loss account. Interest on instruments that must be recognized at fair value is recorded on the basis

8 Reference is made to the section on Credit Quality in Part E of the Notes to the Accounts for an exhaustive analysis of the staging criteria and application of the forward-looking approach, including the adjustments made as a result of the Covid-19 situation.

9 See Part A – Information on fair value on pp. 111-24.

10 The IFRS Interpretation Committee's clarification rules out any possibility of such instruments being treated as equities.

of the interest rate stipulated contractually. Dividends paid on equity instruments are recorded through profit and loss when the right to collect them becomes effective.

Equities and linked derivatives for which it is not possible to reliably determine fair value using the methods described above are stated at amortize cost (these too qualify as Level 3 assets). If the assets suffer impairment, they are written down to their current value.

Gains and losses upon disposal and/or redemption and the positive and negative effects of changes in fair value over time are reflected in the profit and loss account under the respective headings.

Trading assets which must be recognized at fair value also include loans which do not guarantee full repayment of principal in the event of the counterparty finding itself in financial difficulties and which therefore do not pass the SPPI test. The process followed to write down these positions is aligned with that used for other loans, on the grounds that the exposure is basically attributable to credit risk, with both the gross exposure and related provisioning stated.

The heading also includes financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. In such cases, financial assets are recognized irrevocably at FVPL if, and only if, their being included in this category eliminates or significantly reduces an inconsistency in terms of valuation.

Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income

These are financial instruments, mostly debt securities, for which both the following conditions are met:

  • The instruments are on the basis of a business model in which the objective is the collection of cash flows provided for contractually and also of the proceeds deriving from the sale of these instruments;
  • The contractual terms which pass the SPPI test.

Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are recognized fair value, including transaction costs and income directly attributable to them. Thereafter they continue to be measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are taken through other comprehensive income, while interest and gains/losses on exchange rates are taken through profit and loss (in the same way as financial instruments recognized at amortized cost).

Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt securities and equities) must have their expected losses calculated (as per the impairment process), in the same way as financial assets recognized at amortized cost, with the resulting value adjustment taken through profit and loss.

Retained earnings and accumulated losses recorded in other comprehensive income are taken through profit and loss when the instrument is removed from the balance sheet.

The category also includes equities not held for trading which meet the definition provided by IAS 32, and which the Group decided to classify irrevocably in this category at the initial recognition stage. As the instruments in question are equities they are not subject to impairment, and the gains/losses on equities are never taken through profit and loss, even following the sale of the instrument. Conversely, dividends on the instruments are recorded through profit and loss when the right of collection takes effect.

Derecognition of assets

A financial asset must be derecognized from the balance sheet if, and only if, the contractual rights to the cash flows deriving from it have expired, or if the asset has been transferred in accordance with IFRS 9. In such cases the Group checks if the contractual rights to receive the cash flows in respect of the asset have been transferred, or if they have been maintained while a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more beneficiaries continues to exist. It is necessary to check that basically all risks and benefits have been transferred, and any right or obligation originated or maintained as a result of the transfer is recorded separately as an asset or liability where appropriate. If the Group retains virtually all risks and benefits, the financial asset must continue to be recorded.

If the Group has neither transferred nor maintained all risks and benefits, but at the same time has retained control of the financial asset, this continues to be recognized up to the residual interest retained in that asset.

The main forms of activity currently carried out by the Group which do not require underlying assets to be derecognized are the securitization of receivables, repo trading and securities lending. Conversely, items received as part of deposit bank activity, the return on which is collected in the form of a commission, are not recorded, as the related risks and benefits continue to accrue entirely to the endinvestor.

When a financial asset recognized at amortized cost is renegotiated, the Group derecognizes it only if the renegotiation entails a change of such magnitude that the initial instrument effectively becomes a new one. In such cases the difference between the original instrument's carrying value and the fair value of the new instrument is recorded through profit and loss, taking due account of any previous writedowns that may have been charged. The new instrument is classified as stage 1 for purposes of calculating the expected loss (save in cases where the new instrument is classified as a POCI).

In cases where the renegotiation does not result in substantially different cash flows, the Group does not derecognize the instrument, but the difference between the original carrying value and the estimated cash flows discounted using the original internal rate of return must be recorded through profit and loss (taking due account of any provisions already set aside to cover it).

Leasing(IFRS 16)

An agreement is classified as a leasing contract11 (or contains a leasing element) based on the substance of the agreement at the execution date. An agreement is, or

11 Leases in which the Group is lessor are divided into financial and operating leases. A lease is defined as a financial lease if all the risks and benefits typically associated with ownership are transferred to the lessee. Such

contains, a lease if its performance depends on the use of a specific good (or goods) and confers the right to use such good (goods) – the "Right of Use" (RoU) – for an agreed period of time and in return for payment of a fee. This definition of leasing therefore also includes long-term rentals or hires.

Right of use is recorded among "Tangible assets", and is calculated as the sum of the discounted value of future payments (which is equal to the current value of the liability booked in respect of it), of the initial direct costs, any instalments received in advance or at the date from which the lease is effective (jumbo instalment), any incentives received from the lessor, and estimates of any costs of removing or restoring the asset underlying the lease itself.

The liability, which is booked under "Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost", is equal to the discounted value of the payments due in respect of the lease; and the marginal financing rate is equal to the Funds Transfer Pricing rate (FTP) as at the date concerned.

The duration of a leasing contract takes into consideration the period during which the lease cannot be cancelled (as provided by the contract) and also any options for extending which it may reasonably be assumed will be used. In particular, where automatic renewal is provided for, account must be taken of previous behaviour, the existence of company schemes for disposing of assets leased, and every other circumstance that would point towards the existence of reasonable certainty of renewal.

After initial recognition, RoU is amortized over the lease's duration, and written down as appropriate. The liability is increased as the interest payable accrues, and decreases gradually in line with the instalments being paid. If there are changes to the payments due in respect of the lease, the liability is recalculated against the asset recognized by way of RoU.

For sub-leasing, i.e. when an original renting contract has been replicated with a counterparty, and there are grounds for classifying it as a finance lease, the liability

leases are accounted for by the financial method, which involves a receivable being booked as an asset for an amount equal to the amount of the lease, net of the instalments on principal expired and paid by the lessee, and the interest receivable being taken through profit and loss.

in respect of the original lease is matched by an amount receivable from the sublessee rather than the value in use.

Hedges

For hedging transactions, the Group has adopted the provisions of IFRS 9 since 1 July 2018 and has chosen not to avail itself of the exemption provided to continue applying the rules of IAS 39 to this type of operation.

Two types of hedge are used by the Group:

  • fair value hedges, which are intended to offset the exposure of recognized assets and liabilities to changes in their fair value;
  • cash flow hedges, which are intended to offset the exposure of recognized assets and liabilities to changes in future cash flows attributable to specific risks relating to the items concerned.

For the process to be effective, the item must be hedged with a counterparty from outside the Group.

Hedge derivatives are recognized at fair value as follows:

  • changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the profit and loss account, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset, where a difference between the two emerges as a result of the partial ineffectiveness of the hedge;
  • designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in net equity, while the gain or loss deriving from the ineffective portion is recognized through the profit and loss account only as and when, with reference to the hedged item, the change in cash flow to be offset crystallizes.

Hedge accounting is permitted for derivatives where the hedging relationship is formally designated and documented and provided that the hedge is effective at its inception and is expected to be so for its entire life.

At inception, the Group formally designates and documents the hedging relationship, with an indication of the risk management objectives and strategy for the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the item hedged, the nature of the risk hedged and how the entity intends to assess if the hedging relationship meets the requisites for the hedge to be considered effective (including analysis of the sources of any ineffectiveness and how this affects the hedging relationship). The hedging relationship meets the eligibility criteria for accounting treatment reserved for hedges if, and only if, the following conditions are met:

  • the effect of the credit risk does not prevail over the changes in value resulting from the economic relationship;
  • the coverage provided by the hedging relationship is the same as the coverage which results from the quantity of the item hedged which the entity effectively hedges, and the quantity of the hedge instrument which the Group actually uses to hedge the same quantity of the item hedged. However, this designation must not reflect a mismatch between the weightings of the item hedged and the hedging instrument which would result in the hedge becoming ineffective (regardless of whether the ineffectiveness is observed), which could give rise to a result in accounting terms which is in contrast with the purpose of accounting for hedging transactions.

Fair value hedges

As long as the fair value hedge meets the criteria for eligibility, the profit or loss on the hedge instrument must be recorded in the profit and loss account or under one of the other comprehensive income headings if the hedge instrument hedges another instrument representative of equity for which the Group has chosen to recognize changes in fair value through OCI. The hedge profit or loss on the hedged item is recorded as an adjustment to the book value of the hedge with a matching entry through the profit and loss account, even in cases where the item hedged is a financial asset (or one of its components) recognized at fair value with changes taken

through OCI. However, if the item hedged is an equity instrument for which the entity has opted to recognize changes in fair value through OCI, the amounts remain in the other items in the comprehensive income statement.

If the item hedged is an irrevocable commitment (or one of its components) not booked to the accounts, the cumulative change in the fair value of the item hedged resulting from its designation as such is recorded as an asset or liability with corresponding gain or loss recorded in the profit (loss) for the period.

Cash flow hedges

As long as the cash flow hedge meets the criteria for eligibility, it is accounted for as follows:

  • the gain or loss on the hedge instrument in relation to the effective part of the hedge is taken through OCI in the cash flow reserve, whereas the ineffective part is taken directly through profit and loss.
  • the cash flow reserve is adjusted to reflect the lower amount of:
  • the gain or loss accumulated on the hedge instrument since the hedge's inception; and
  • the cumulative change in fair value (versus the present value) of the item hedged (i.e. the present value of the cumulative change in the estimated future cash flows hedged) since the hedge's inception.

The amount accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve must be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit (loss) for the period as an adjustment due to reclassification in the same period or periods in which the estimated future cash flows hedged impact on the profit (loss) for the period (e.g. in periods when interest receivable or payable are recorded, or when the planned sale takes place). However, if the amount constitutes a loss and the entity does not expect to recover the whole loss or part of it in one or more future periods, the entity must classify the amount it does not expect to recover in the profit (loss) for the period (as an adjustment due to reclassification) immediately.

Equity investments

This heading consists of investments in:

  • Subsidiaries
  • Associates, which are equity-accounted. Associates are defined as companies in which at least 20% of the voting rights are held, and those in which the size of the investment is sufficient to ensure an influence in the governance of the investee company;
  • Jointly-controlled companies, which are also equity-accounted;
  • Other investments of negligible value.

Where there is objective evidence that the value of an investment may be impaired, estimates are made of its current value using market prices if possible, and of the present value of estimated cash flows generated by the investment, including its terminal value. Where the value thus calculated is lower than the asset's carrying amount, the difference is taken through the profit and loss account. Where the reasons for the loss of value cease to apply, due to an event which takes place subsequent to the date on which the value reduction is recorded, writebacks are credited up to the amount of the impairment charges previously recorded.

Property, plant and equipment

This heading comprises land, core and investment properties, plant, furniture, fittings and equipment of all kinds. It also includes the RoU acquired under leases and related use of tangible assets (for lessees) and assets used under the terms of finance leases, despite the fact that such assets remain the legal property of the lessor rather than the lessee.

Assets held for investment purposes refer to investments in real estate, if any (whether owned or acquired under leases), which are not core to the Group's main activities and/or are chiefly leased out to third parties.

The heading also includes tangible assets classified pursuant to IAS 2 – Inventories, namely assets deriving from guarantees being enforced or acquired in auction scenarios which the firm has the intention of selling in the near future, without carrying out any major refurbishment work on them, and which do not fall into any of the previous categories.

These are stated at historical cost, which in addition to the purchase price, includes any ancillary charges directly resulting from their acquisition and/or usage. Extraordinary maintenance charges are reflected by increasing the asset's value, while ordinary maintenance charges are recorded in the profit and loss account.

Fixed assets are depreciated over the length of their useful life on a straight-line basis, with the exception of land, which is not depreciated on the grounds that it has unlimited useful life. Properties built on land owned by the Group are recorded separately, on the basis of valuations prepared by independent experts.

At annual and interim reporting dates, where there is objective evidence that the value of an asset may be impaired, its carrying amount is compared to its current value, which is defined as the higher of its fair value net of any sales costs and its related value of use, and adjustments, if any, are recognized through the profit and loss account. If the reasons which gave rise to the loss in value cease to apply, the adjustment is written back to earnings with the proviso that the amount credited may not exceed the value which the asset would have had net of depreciation, which is calculated assuming no impairment took place.

Intangible assets

These chiefly comprise goodwill, long-term computer software applications and other intangible assets deriving from business combinations subject to IFRS 3R.

Goodwill may be recognized where this is representative of the investee company's ability to generate future income. At annual and interim reporting dates, goodwill recorded as an asset is tested for impairment.12 Any reduction value due to

12 Mediobanca has adopted a Group Impairment Policy in line with the guidance issued by the Italian organization for valuation (OIV, or Organismo Italiano di Valutazione) on "Impairment testing on goodwill in financial and real crisis situations" of 14 June 2012, "Italian valuation standards" published in 2015, the discussion paper issued on 22 January 2019, ESMA's recommendations

impairment is calculated as the difference between the initial recognition value of the goodwill and its realizable value, the latter being equal to the higher of the fair value of the cash-generating unit concerned net of any sales costs and its assumed value of use. Any adjustments are taken through the profit and loss account.

Other intangible assets are recognized at cost, adjusted to reflect ancillary charges only where it is likely that future earnings will derive from the asset and the cost of the asset itself may be reliably determined. Otherwise the cost of the asset is booked to the profit and loss account in the year in which the expense was incurred.

The cost of intangible assets is amortized on the straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset concerned. If useful life is not determinable the cost of the asset is not amortized, but the value at which it is initially recognized is tested for impairment on a regular basis.

At annual and interim reporting dates, where there is evidence of impairment the realizable value of the asset is estimated.13 The impairment is recognized in the profit and loss account as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable value of the asset concerned.

Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost

These include the items Due to banks, Due to customers and Debt securities in issue less any amounts bought back. The heading also includes amounts receivable in respect of finance leasing transactions, the valuation and classification rules for which are governed by IFRS 16, but which are also affected by the IFRS 9 impairment rules. For a description of the rules for valuing and classifying leasing receivables, see the relevant section.

contained in the document entitled "European common enforcement priorities for 2013 financial statements", the joint document issued by the Bank of Italy, Consob and IVASS (document no. 4 of 3 March 2010), and Consob's communications (no. DIE/17131 of 3 March 2014 and no. 3907 of 19 January 2015).

13 Under IAS 36, impairment testing, i.e. tests to ascertain whether or not there has been a loss in the value of individual tangible and intangible assets, must be carried out at least once a year, in conjunction with preparation of the financial statements, or more frequently if events have taken place or materialized that would indicate there has been a reduction in the value of such assets (known as "impairment indicators").

Initial recognition takes place when funds raised are collected or debt securities are issued, and occurs at fair value, which is equal to the amount collected net of transaction costs incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the liability concerned. Thereafter liabilities are stated at amortized cost on the basis of the original effective interest rate, with the exception of short-term liabilities which continue to be stated at the original amount collected.

Derivatives embedded in structured bonds are stripped out from the underlying contract and recognized at fair value when they are not closely correlated to the host instrument. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized through the profit and loss account.

Financial liabilities are derecognized upon expiry or repayment, even if buybacks of previously issued bonds are involved. The difference between the liabilities' carrying value and the amount paid to repurchase them is recorded through the profit and loss account.

The sale of treasury shares over the market following a buyback (even in the form of repos and securities lending transactions) is treated as a new issue. The new sale price is recorded as a liability without passing through the profit and loss account.

Trading liabilities

This item includes the negative value of trading derivatives and any derivatives embedded in complex instruments. Liabilities in respect of technical shortfalls deriving from securities trading activity are also included. All trading liabilities are recognized at fair value and the changes are taken through the profit and loss account.

Financial liabilities recognized at fair value

These include the value of financial liabilities recognized at fair value through profit and loss based on the fair value option permitted under IFRS 9 and in accordance with the cases permitted under the regulation itself.

Provisions for liabilities and charges

These regard risks linked to commitments to disburse funds and guarantees issued, and to the Group's operations which could lead to expenses in the future (cf. below).

In the first case (provisions for liabilities and charges to cover commitments and guarantees issued), the amounts set aside are quantified in accordance with the rules on impairment on financial assets recognized at amortized cost.

In the other cases the rules of IAS 37 apply, i.e. the potential charge must be estimated reliably; if the time effect is material, provisions are discounted using current market rates; and the provision is recognized in the profit and loss account.

Provisions are reviewed on a regular basis, and where the charges that gave rise to them are deemed unlikely to crystallize, the amounts involved are written back to the profit and loss account in part or in full.

Withdrawals are only made from provisions to cover the expenses for which the provision was originally made.

As permitted by IAS 37, paragraph 92, no precise indication has been given of any potential liabilities where this could compromise the company in any way.

Staff severance indemnity provision and post-retirement schemes

The staff severance indemnity provision qualifies as a defined-contribution benefit scheme for units accruing starting from 1 January 2007 (the date on which the reform of complementary pension schemes came into force under Italian Legislative Decree 252/05), for cases where the employee opts into a complementary pension scheme, and also for cases where contributions are paid to the treasury fund held with the Italian national pension scheme (INPS). For such payments, the amount accounted for under labour costs is determined on the basis of the contributions due without application of actuarial calculation methods.

The staff severance indemnity provision accrued until 1 January 2007 qualifies as a defined-benefit pension scheme, and as such is stated to reflect the actuarial value of the provision as calculated in line with the Projected Unit method. Accordingly, future obligations are estimated on the basis of historical statistical analysis (e.g. staff turnover, retirements, etc.) and demographic trends. These are then discounted to obtain their present value on the basis of market interest rates using the market yield on bonds issued by companies of primary standing as the benchmark, and taking due account of the average duration outstanding of the liability, weighted according to the percentage of the amount paid or advanced, at each expiry date, relative to the total amount to be paid and/or advanced until the entire obligation has been paid in full.

The post-retirement scheme provisions have been instituted under company agreements and also qualify as defined benefit schemes. In this case the discounted value of the liability is adjusted by the fair value of any assets to be used under the terms of the scheme.

Actuarial gains and/or losses are recorded in the Other Comprehensive Income statement, while the interest component is taken through profit and loss.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded by applying the exchange rates as at the date of the transaction to the amount in the foreign currency concerned.

Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Euro are translated into Euros using exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Differences on cash items due to translation are recorded through the profit and loss account, whereas those on non-cash items are recorded according to the valuation criteria used in respect of the category they belong to (i.e. at cost, through the profit and loss account or on an equity basis).

The assets and liabilities of the non-Italian entities consolidated line-by-line have been converted at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date, whereas the profit-and-loss items have been converted using the average of the average monthly

exchange rate readings for the period. Any differences arising upon conversion have been taken through the net equity valuation reserves.

Tax assets and liabilities

Income taxes are recorded in the profit and loss account, with the exception of tax payable on items debited or credited directly to net equity. Provisions for income tax are calculated on the basis of current, advance and deferred obligations. Advance and deferred tax is calculated on the basis of temporary differences – without time limits – between the carrying amount of an asset or liability and its tax base, according to statutory criteria and the corresponding values used for tax purposes.

Advance tax assets are recognized in the balance sheet based on the likelihood of their being recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet with the exception of tax-suspended reserves, if the size of the reserves available already subjected to taxation is such that it may be reasonably assumed that no transactions will be carried out on the Group's own initiative that might lead to their being taxed.

Deferred tax arising upon business combinations is recognized when this is likely to result in a charge for one of the companies concerned.

Tax assets and liabilities are adjusted as and when changes occur in the regulatory framework or in applicable tax rates, inter alia to cover charges that might arise in connection with inspections by or disputes with the tax revenue authorities.

Contributions to Deposits Guarantee Schemes and resolution funds are accounted for according to IFRIC 21.

Stock options, performance shares and long-term incentives

The stock option, performance share and long-term incentive (LTI) schemes operated on behalf of Group staff members and collaborators are treated as a component of labour costs.

Schemes which involve payment through the award of shares are recognized through profit and loss, with a corresponding increase in net equity, based on the fair value of the financial instruments allocated at the award date, thus spreading the cost of the scheme throughout the period of time in which the requisites in terms of service and performance where appropriate) are met.

The overall cost of the scheme is recorded in each financial year up to the date on which the plan vests, so as to reflect the best possible estimate of the number of shares that will actually vest. Requisites in terms of service and performance objectives are not considered in determining the fair value of the instruments awarded, but the probability of such objectives being reached is estimated by the Group and this is factored into the decision as to the number of instruments that will vest. Conversely, market conditions will be included in establishing the fair value, whereas conditions unrelated to the requisites in terms of service are considered "non-vesting conditions" and are reflected in the fair value established for the instruments, and result in the full cost of the scheme being recorded in the profit and loss account immediately in the absence of any service requisites and/or performance conditions.

In the event of performance or service conditions not being met and the benefit failing to be allocated as a result, the cost of the scheme is written back. However, if any market conditions fail to be reached, the cost must be recorded in full if the other conditions have been met.

In the event of changes to the scheme, the minimum cost to be recorded is the fair value at the scheme award date pre-change, if the original conditions for vesting have been met. An additional cost, established at the date on which the change is made to the scheme, must be recorded if the change has entailed an increase in the overall fair value of the scheme for the beneficiary.

For schemes which will involve payments in cash, the Group records an amount payable equal to the fair value of the scheme measured at the award date of the scheme and at every reporting date thereafter, up to and including the settlement date, with any changes recorded as labour costs.

Treasury shares

These are deducted from net equity, and any gains/losses realized on disposal are recognized in net equity.

Fees and commissions receivable in respect of services

This heading includes all revenues deriving from the provision of services to customers with the expectation of those relating to financial instruments, leases and insurance contracts.

Revenues from contracts with clients are recorded through profit and loss when ownership of the service is transferred to the client, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group considers it is entitled in return for the service rendered.

In order to record the revenues, the Group analyses the contracts to establish whether they contain more than one obligation to provide services to which the price of the transaction should be allocated. The revenues are then recorded throughout the time horizon over which the service is rendered, using suitable methods to recognize the measurement in which the service is provided. The Group also takes into consideration the effects of any variable commissions, and whether or not a significant financial component is involved.

In the event of additional costs being incurred to perform or execute the contract, where such costs meet the requisites of IFRS 15, the Group will assess whether to capitalize them and then amortize them through the life of the contract, or to make use of the exemption provided by IFRS 15 to expense the costs immediately in cases where the amortization period for them would be complete within twelve months.

Dividends

Dividends are recorded through profit and loss in the year in which their distribution is approved.

Recognition of costs

Costs are recorded through profit and loss in accordance with the revenues to which they refer, save in cases where the requisites for capitalizing them apply and where provided in order to determine amortized cost. Any other costs which cannot be associated with revenues are accounted for immediately in profit and loss.

Related parties

Related parties are defined, inter alia in accordance with IAS 24, as follows:

  • a) Individuals or entities which directly or indirectly, are subject to joint control by Mediobanca, shareholders with stakes of 3% or more in the Bank's share capital;14

A.4 – Information on fair value

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

This section provides the disclosure on fair value stipulated by IFRS 13 paragraph 24, which defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal market.

For financial instruments listed on active markets, fair value is determined on the basis of the official prices prevailing on the principal market, or alternatively the most advantageous market to which the Group has access; such instruments are thus said to be marked to market. A market is defined as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

For instruments not listed on an active market or in cases where the market is not functioning properly, that is, it does not have a sufficient and continuous number of transactions, or sufficiently low bid-ask spreads and volatility, valuation models using market inputs are used instead, such as:

  • ― valuations of instruments with similar characteristics,
  • ― discounted cash flow calculations,
  • ― option price calculation models, values recorded in recent comparable transactions, prudentially adjusted to reflect the illiquid nature of some market data and other risks associated with specific transactions (reputational risk, replacement risk, etc.).

If no market inputs are available, valuation models based on data estimated internally are used.

As a further guarantee that the valuations deriving from the measurement models the Group uses remain objective, independent price verification processes (IPVs) are also carried out, in which a unit unrelated to the one assuming the risk checks the prices of the individual financial instruments on a daily basis, using data provided by information providers as its reference.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent government and

healthcare measures had an immediate impact on capital markets, which priced in the new estimates of the economic slowdown as well as the regulators' restrictions on share buybacks and payments of dividends. These two combined effects caused a reduction in liquidity and made it difficult to hedge trades and risk reduction transactions generally (on dividends and volatility in particular). Overall there was a significant rise in uncertainty for the input parameters required in order to value the positions held by the Bank and in the parameters used for control activities.

In terms of independent price verification (IPV), the Bank stepped up its controls following the mismarking of volatility, correlation and dividends by using alternative providers, resulting in an increase in corrections to the original values proposed by the business units.

Fair value is reported according to rankings based on the quality of the input parameters used to determine it.1

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 13 as enacted in Bank of Italy circular no. 262, the fair value hierarchy assigns decreasing priority to measurements based on different market parameters. The highest priority (level 1) is assigned to measurements based on prices quoted (un-adjusted) on an active market for identical assets or liabilities; while the lowest of priority (level 3) is assigned to valuations deriving predominantly from unobservable inputs.

The fair value ranking level assigned to an asset or liability is defined as the lowest-level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Three levels are identified:

  • ― Level 1: quoted prices (single and unadjusted) in active markets for the individual financial instrument being measured.
  • ― Level 2: inputs other than the quoted prices referred to above, that are observable on the market either directly (prices) or indirectly (price derivatives). In this case fair value is measured via a comparable approach, or by using a pricing model which leaves little scope for subjective interpretation and is commonly used by other financial operators.
  • ― Level 3: significant inputs which are either unobservable on the market and/or

1 Cf. IFRS 13, paragraph 73: "the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the level of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement"; and paragraph 74: "The fair value hierarch ranks fair value measurements based on the type of inputs; it does not depend on the type of valuation techniques used". For further details see IFRS 13, paragraphs 72-90

reflect complex pricing models. In this case the fair value is set based on assumptions of future cash flows, which could lead to different estimates by different observers of the value of the same financial instrument.

In cases where the input data used to value an asset or liability have different rankings, the choice of fair value level is driven by the significance of the input data (IFRS 13, paragraph 74).

As a rule Mediobanca uses market prices (level 1) or models based on observable inputs (level 2). In cases where level 3 instruments are used, additional price verification procedures are set in place, including: revision of relevant historical data, analysis of profits and losses, individual measurement of each single component in a structured component, and benchmarking. This approach involves the use of subjective parameters and judgements based on experience, and adjustments may therefore be required to valuations to take account of the bid-ask spread, liquidity or counterparty risk, and the type of measurement model adopted. All models in any case, including those developed internally, are verified independently and validated by different Bank units, thus ensuring an independent control structure. Similarly, the Bank has an independent control unit which checks the parameters used, comparing them with similar inputs from different sources which must nonetheless meet observability criteria.

Fair value adjustment

Fair value adjustment is defined as the quantity that has to be added to the price observed on the market or the theoretical price generated by the model, to ensure that the fair value reflects the price that can be realized in a market transaction which is effectively possible. In line with the best market practices, during the year under review all fair value adjustments were aligned with the prudential categories defined in Article 105 of the CRR ("Prudent Valuation"). Introduction of the new framework has resulted in the need to start calculating adjustments that were previously not recognized.

The changes in scope of fair value adjustments thus include the following in particular:

  • ― Close-Out Costs;
  • ― Investing and Funding Costs;
  • ― Market Price Uncertainty;
  • ― Model Risk.

Some fair value adjustments may be considered in order to align valuation with exit price, based among other things on the level of market liquidity, the uncertainty of the valuation parameters, and in order to reflect the cost of funding.

The following activities were undertaken in the twelve months under review:

  • ― revision of calculation scope and method: for certain specific deals structured in the past, a fair value adjustment was established when the deal itself was executed. Although these adjustments were calculated conservatively (in most cases using far worse market stress scenarios as input),it appears to be closer to the regulations to use a dynamic calculation based on the risks present at portfolio level and inputs updated to the calculation date. Some of the main changes entailed by this method include:
  • recalculation of the adjustments hedging the funding risk implicit in creditlinked issues. Using a point-in-time valuation approach, the use of a conservative factor linked to the credit curves has been eliminated from the calculation;
  • changes to the calculation methods used for adjustments linked to the uncertainty of the repo margin: the Bank has transitioned from a simplified

methodology to an approach based on a market consensus instrument, in line with the method already used for other risk factors.

  • ― Removal of some FVAs: some of these adjustments were more linked to commercial than to risk issues,2 and have in part been replaced by the introduction of Close-Out Costs;
  • ― Introduction of Close-Out Costs: depending on the materiality of the risks present, the Bank has adjusted the fair value to ensure that the exit price is recorded, as required by IFRS 13.3

Credit/debt valuation adjustment (CVA/DVA)

Credit and debt value adjustments (CVA and DVA) are incorporated into the valuation of derivatives to reflect the impact respectively of the counterparty's credit risk and the Bank's own credit quality on the fair value, as follows:

  • ― CVA is a negative quantity which takes into account the scenarios in which the counterparty might fail before the Bank does while amounts are still receivable (positive MTM) by the Bank from the counterparty;
  • ― DVA is a positive quantity which takes into account the scenarios in which the Bank itself might fail before the party does while amounts are still payable (negative MTM) to the counterparty.

CVA and DVA are calculated taking into consideration any counterparty risk mitigation agreements that have been entered into, in particular collateral and netting agreements for each counterparty.

The CVA/DVA methodology used by Mediobanca is based on the following inputs:

  • ― Expected positive exposure (EPE) and expected negative exposure (ENE) of the valuation of the derivatives, deriving from simulation techniques;
  • ― PD (probability of default (PD), derived from historical PD readings or those implied in market prices for credit default swaps or bond securities;

2 That is, they were intended to mitigate the potential impact for clients in the event of buybacks of arbitrage trades, a phenomenon that has never occurred. 3

The adjustment is calculated, for each risk factor considered, as a semi-bid/ask for the market data, multiplied by the exposure to the instrument to which the data refers.

― Loss given default (LGD) based on the estimated value of recovery in the event of the counterparty going bankrupt, as defined in specific analysis conducted by the Bank itself or the recovery rates conventionally utilized for credit default swap prices.

The fair value of non-collateralized derivatives may be influenced by the Bank's cost of funding, for those linked to these transactions. To take account of this aspect, some cost of funding adjustments are calculated (Funding Value Adjustments), by using a discount curve representative of the average funding level of banks participating in the European corporate derivative market.

A.4.1 Fair value levels: measurement techniques and inputs used

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

This section provides disclosure on the measurement techniques and inputs used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by fair value level

Level 1

This level comprises all instruments quoted on active markets or for which quotations are available on an ongoing basis. The former instance covers cash equity instruments, funds and listed derivatives4 (futures and options with equity, interest rates and sovereign debt as the underlying) traded on regulated markets for which an official closing price was available. The second instance covers liquid debt securities for which quotations are available on an ongoing basis, and ABS and CLOs for which tradable quotations are available at the reporting date.

Level 2

― Bonds: securities traded on less liquid markets that show bid/ask spreads above

4 Provided that the quotation is considered to be effectively liquid following the IPV process.

adequate levels are classified as Level 2; as are instruments not traded on active markets that are marked to model using the implied credit spread curves obtained from Level or Level 2 instruments, to which a further spread is added to reflect their illiquidity. The model makes maximum use of observable inputs and minimum use of non-observable inputs. In this way, only if the credit spread curve applied is representative, the bonds are categorized as Level 2. In fair value measurement, fair value adjustments can be used in cases where there is reduced liquidity and model risk, to compensate for the lack of observable market inputs;

  • ― derivatives: the fair value of derivatives not traded on an active market derives from application of mark-to-model measurement techniques. In accordance with the definitions provided in paragraphs 3, 61 and 67 of IFRS 13, where possible the Bank uses models that maximize observable parameters, which are preferable to models where the use of unobservable parameters is predominant. When there is an active market for the input parameters to be used for the different components of the valuation model, the fair value is established on the basis of their market quotations. Hence an OTC derivative that mainly uses observable inputs deriving from Level 1 instruments (quoted prices, as established in paragraphs 76-80 of IFRS 13) or Level 2 instruments (interest rate curves, implicit volatilities and credit spreads, as stipulated in paragraph 82 of IFRS 13) is classified as Level 2. These derivatives include:
  • plain vanilla instruments, such as options with equity or exchange rates, interest rate swaps, cap & floor, credit default swaps and credit default indexes as underlying;
  • exotic instruments which use more complex models such as exotic equity options, structured forex including derivatives embedded in notes issued by Mediobanca whose characteristics replicate those referred to above;
  • issues of certificates with credit derivatives or shares as underlying (basket or single name), including the issuer credit risk which is thus factored into the total calculation of the fair value.

The instruments referred to above are classified as Level 2 when the fair value component calculated using models based on observable inputs is adjudged to be predominant.

The observability of an input parameter depends on the type of product, and on the adequacy of the parameters used. In both cases the relevant issuers are the availability of quotes, expiry and level of moneyness.

Level 3

  • ― Bonds: instruments whose fair value is determined using prices that cannot be corroborated are classified as Level 3, as are instruments not traded on active markets which are marked to model using the credit spread curves implicitly derived from Level 1 or Level 2 instruments, to which a spread is added in order to factor in their unobservable illiquidity. Fair value adjustments may be used in recognizing such instruments at fair value when there is low liquidity, in order to compensate for the lack of observable market parameters for the Level 3 positions;
  • ― asset-backed securities, CLOs and loans: the measurement process relies on information providers which effectively collect market prices. Basically ABS are categorized as Level 3, with the exception of those for which a bid/ask contribution can be provided with the respective quantities on an ongoing basis, in which case they are categorized as Level 1.
  • ― credit exposures which, based on the characteristics of their cash flows, are recognized at fair value (IFRS 9, SPPI criteria - Solely Payments of Principal and Interest): specific valuation methodologies are adopted to represent the individual exposure's characteristics, seeking to maximize use of observable market data;
  • ― equities: equities are categorized as Level 1 when quoted prices are available on an active market considered to be liquid, and Level 3 when there are no quoted prices or when quoted prices have been suspended indefinitely and for which an internal model is used in order to determine the fair value. Some residual equities for which fair value cannot be established reliably using the methods described above are recognized at cost;
  • ― investment funds: Mediobanca owns holdings in investment funds which publish the net asset value (NAV) per stock unit. Such funds include mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds (including funds of funds) and real estate

funds. Investments in funds are usually classified as Level 1 in cases where the NAV is available on a daily basis and considered to be active; otherwise they are categorized as Level 3;

  • derivatives: when the valuation of an OTC derivative has been materially affected by unobservable parameters it is classified as Level 3. Such derivatives include:
  • plain vanilla instruments, such as options with equity as the underlying and long expiries, or dividends on which there is no market consensus and options on equity baskets (indexes and single name);
  • equity certificates for which the valuation inputs show a high degree of uncertainty (as it emerges during the Independent Price Verification process) in terms of volatility or future dividends;
  • exotic instruments that use complex models (exotic options), or certain payoffs on exchange rates for which the valuation inputs are not directly observable, including derivatives embedded in bonds issued;
  • bespoke CDO tranches.

The instruments referred to above are classified as Level 3, because as stated in paragraphs 73 and 75 of IFRS 13, their fair value is established primarily by components attributable to unobservable inputs (such as implicit volatility above certain observation levels, equity and credit correlation, etc.), or contains adjustments that significantly alter the most liquid input parameters used.

All inputs used to determine the fair value of the principal risk positions, regardless of their fair value levels, are subject to the Independent Price Verification process based on the principle of verifying the data against input from other info-providers.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

Financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (including amounts payable to and receivable from customers and banks) are not accounted for on the basis of fair value.

In such cases the fair value is calculated solely for the purpose of meeting the Bank's responsibilities in terms of providing market disclosure, and the calculation does not impact in any way on the book value of the investment and has no effect on the profit and loss account. Such instruments are not normally traded, and their fair value is thus measured on the basis of inputs compiled internally which are generally not directly observable on the market.

For loans to corporates, fair value is measured via the discounted cash flow method, using rates and/or flows adjusted to reflect credit risk in each case. Loans to counterparties with official ratings are categorized as Level 2, and in all other cases as Level 3. The same applies to retail loans (i.e. mortgage loans and consumer credit).

Bonds issued by Mediobanca are categorized as fair value Level 1 if quoted on an active market (using the market price as the input); if not, i.e. in cases where there are no quoted prices, the fair value is categorized as Level 2 and is calculated via the expected discounted cash flow using a market interest rate adjusted for the Bank's issuer risk (with a distinction being made between senior and subordinated risks). The fair value of the naked components of Mediobanca structured issues is also categorized as Level 2 when Mediobanca strips out the derivative embedded in such issues; the derivative's fair value level is according to the method described above.

  • Volatility in a financial context is a measurement of how much the price of an instrument underlying a derivative may vary over time. The higher the volatility of the underlying instrument, the greater the risk associated with it. In general terms long positions in options benefit from increases in volatility, whereas short positions in options lose out from them. For equity derivatives, the implicit volatility surface may be obtained from the price of the call and put options, as there are regulated markets for these. The uncertainty inherent in this input is attributable to one of the following scenarios: illiquidity of quoted prices (wide bid/ask spreads, typically present on long maturities or moneyness far from the at-the-money spot), concentration effects and nonobservable market data (here too present when maturities are considered too long or moneyness too far from the at-the-money spot).
  • 2 Equity-equity correlation is a measurement of the correlation between two equity financial instruments underlying a derivative. Variations in the correlation levels may impact favourably or unfavourably, depending on the correlation type, on an instrument's fair value. Equity-equity correlations are less observable than volatilities, because correlation products are not quoted on any regulated markets. For this reason correlations are more prone to input uncertainty.

A.4.3 Fair value ranking

Transfers between fair value ranking levels

The main factors contributing to transfers between the different fair value levels include changes in market conditions and refinements in the measurement models and/or the non-observable inputs.

An instrument is transferred from fair value Level 1 to Level 2 or vice versa mainly as a result of the loss (increase) in significance of a price expressed by the reference active market for the instrument concerned.

Conversely, transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 (or vice versa) are decided on the basis of the significance of the input data, in particular the weight which nonobservable data have in the inputs compared to observable data.

A.4.4 Other information

The Mediobanca Group has availed itself of the exception provided under IFRS 13, paragraph 48 from measuring fair value on a net basis for financial assets and liabilities with positions compensating for the counterparty's market or credit risks.

A.4.5.4 Assets and liabilities not recognized at fair value or recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis, by fair value ranking

The Level 3 instruments held for trading include options traded, i.e. contracts originated and closed with different counterparties but the same underlying instrument and uncertain risk parameter, totalled €408.8m (30/6/19: €236m), plus €0.35m in options linked to bonds issued and hedged on the market (€0.5m).

Net of these items, the Level 3 assets increased from €122.6m to €145.2m, as a result of new entries totalling €65.3m (€37m of which relating to derivative contracts) against departures totalling €66.3m, €59.6m of which regarding the transfer of ABS to a new provision and redemptions totalling €4.5m. Transfers from other levels totalled €35.2m, and chiefly involve derivative contracts being reclassified during the course of the year, due to the increase in uncertainty over volatility and the underlying dividends. Downward movements in fair value totalled €11.6m.

Level 3 liabilities, minus options traded and those linked to the bond issues referred to above, rose from €13.3m to €121.8m, as a result of the reclassifications made during the twelve months, regarding certain certificates and derivative contracts (worth a total of €86.8m), which became necessary due to the rise in uncertainty over estimated dividends, plus new positions totalling €22.5m (mainly derivative contracts); upward adjustments to fair value totalled €0.8m.

Financial assets compulsorily recognized at fair value, which mostly consist of investments in funds (including seed capital) increased from €263.7m to €409.9m, as a result of new additions totalling €183.8m, €110m of which in relation to the initial subscription to a fund with ABS as the underlying instrument, and €55m in additional investments in the Cairn funds, against departures totalling €67.7m which mostly involve the partial disposal of the above fund; overall there were other positive changes totalling €30m, representing the difference between €44.4m in higher valuations due to improvements in the credit rating of certain convertible loans, and €14.4m in downward value adjustments made to seed capital (primarily for Cairn).

Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income (which consist of investments in unlisted companies, valued based on internal models) increased from €32.8m to €185.7m, chiefly due to the subscription of the Additional Tier 1 bond issued by Group company CheBanca! (€160m).

A.5 - Information on "day one profit/loss"

For Level 3 transactions, the fair value derived from the model may differ from the price of the transaction itself. If the difference is positive (day one profit), it is amortized over the outstanding life of the financial instrument; if it is negative (day one loss), it is taken directly to the profit and loss account, on prudential grounds. Any subsequent changes in fair value will therefore be linked to the trends in the various risk factors to which the instrument is exposed (interest rate/exchange rate risk, etc.) and recorded directly in the profit and loss account.

Suspension of the day one profit is currently applied to the approx. €10m surplus generated on an arbitrage transaction between the acquisition of a financial instrument convertible into listed equities (starting from year 5) and the sale of the corresponding listed equities in FY 2016-17. This difference was generated from the use of an internal model to value the unlisted instrument, and, under paragraphs B5.1.2A and B5.2.2A of IFRS 9, was suspended and will be released to the profit and loss account pro rata throughout the duration of the transaction (five years). The share remaining totals approx. €2.7m, and the portion that passed through profit and loss during the period totalled €2m.

The suspension approach is also applied to the profit deriving from trades in derivatives on Exchange rates linked to hedges of M&A deals: as the derivative becomes effective only if the deal is executed, the profit is suspended until the uncertainty regarding the deal's execution has ceased. At the reporting date there was only one trade of this kind, involving a profit of €470,000.

The Bank also has deals classified as Level 3 for which the initial profit has not had to be suspended, as these deals were originally negotiated with other market counterparties, without generating any material upfront difference.

The following significant events took place in the year under review.

Impairment charges of CHF 61.5m (or €46.4m) have been taken to the book value of the investment in RAM, which became necessary in view of the sharp reduction in the company's profitability, in line with the charge taken to goodwill in the consolidated accounts.1

The investment in Cairn Capital was also written down by GBP 3.9m (€4.5m) following the capital increase implemented to cover the operating losses incurred by the company during FY 2019.

The AT1 instruments issued by CheBanca! have been booked under Heading 30 Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Assicurazioni Generali investment continues to be recognized at cost.

The book value of the investments in CheBanca!, Mediobanca SGR, Cairn Capital Group Limited and RAM Active Investments SA, following the previous movements, have also been tested for impairment test, with no further charges being taken.

(*)Italian decree law 59/16 on 29 April 2016 on deferred tax receivable pursuant to Italian decree law 214/11, as amended by Italian decree law 237/16, provides that in order to be able to retain the right to take advantage of the possibility of converting DTAs into tax credits, an irrevocable option must be specifically exercised, which involves payment of an annual instalment equal to 1.5% of the difference between the increase in advance tax assets at the reporting date since 30 June 2008 and the tax paid during the same period each year until 2029. Mediobanca has exercised this option in order to retain the possibility of converting DTAs for all companies adhering to the tax consolidation. No payment shall be due in this respect, however, given that the payments made to the tax consolidation exceed the increase in DTAs recorded since 30 June 2008.

9.2 Other information

The staff severance indemnity provision, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Italian Civil Code, amounts to €6,763,000 (30/6/19: €7,055,000).

The staff severance indemnity provision is a defined benefit scheme, and the actuarial model used to account for it relies on a series of assumptions, both demographic and economic in nature.

For some of the assumptions used, reference has been made directly to the Group's own experience (e.g. estimates of disability incidence, frequency of early retirement, annual increase in rate of remuneration, frequency with which advance withdrawals from the provision are requested, etc.), while for the others, account has been taken of the relevant best practice (e.g. the mortality rate has been determined using the IPS55 life tables, whereas the retirement age has been determined taking into account the most recent legislation in this area); for the discount rate, the iBoxx Eurozone Corporate AA index as at 30 June 2020 has been used for similar companies to those being valued (equal to 0.31%), while the inflation rate is 1.20% (1.50%).

IAS 37 requires provisions to be set aside in cases where there is an obligation, whether actual, legal or implicit, the amount of which may be reliably determined and the resolution of which is likely to entail a cash outflow for the company. The amount of the provision is determined from the management's best estimate, based on experience of similar operations or the opinion of independent experts. The provisions are revised on a regular basis in order to reflect the best current estimate.

As at 30 June 2020, the Provisions for risks and charges totalled €114m, and include €42.6m in commitments to disburse funds and financial guarantees issued, €2.7m in staff-related expenses, plus €68.7m for litigation and other contingent liabilities.

The most significant litigation still pending against the Mediobanca Group consists of the two requests for damages made respectively by:

― Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena ("FMPS"): against the former directors of FMPS and Mediobanca, jointly with fourteen other banks. The liability with which the banks are charged is non-contractual, and consists of participation in the alleged damages caused by execution of the Term Facility Agreement on 4 June 2011 and the consequent breach of FMPS's Articles of Association (20% limit on debt/equity ratio) in a total amount of €286m. Judgement is currently

pending at the court of Florence, until the presiding judge pronounces on whether the means of proof requested by the parties are admissible;1

― Lucchini S.p.A. in extraordinary administration ("Lucchini"): against twelve banks, including Mediobanca, for their alleged involvement in the financial disaster which affected the company on account of their having compiled and implemented a business and financial plan for Lucchini based on estimates alleged to have been unrealistic as well as a restructuring agreement pursuant to Article 182-bis of the Italian bankruptcy law which included unduly favourable guarantees in favour of the banks, leading to a delay in Lucchini entering the extraordinary administration procedure. In a ruling issued on 21 July 2020, the presiding judge rejected Lucchini's claim (as amended with the first memo pursuant to Article 183 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure), finding that the right to damages in question had lapsed as it was now statute-barred; the claimant may still challenge the ruling before the Milan Court of Appeal.

With reference to the disputes outstanding with the Italian revenue authorities, an inspection by the authorities started in 2018 with reference to the 2014-15 and 2015-16 financial years was completed, in the course of which three main charges had emerged:

  • alleged failure to apply, as required by the transparency regulations, the tax on controlled foreign companies (CFCs) required by the regulations in force to revenues generated by Compagnie Monégasque de Banque and Compagnie Monégasque de Gestion for years 2013, 2014 and 2015, as follows:
  • notice of assessment regarding alleged failure by Mediobanca to pay tax in FY 2013-14 on 2013 earnings, in an amount of €21.3m (plus fines and interest), notified at end-2018;
  • notice of assessment for FY 2014-15 (on 2014 earnings), for a disputed amount of €16.1m (plus fines and interest), notified at end-December 2019;
  • a formal notice of assessment was issued in October 2019 with regard to FY 2015-16 (on 2015 earnings), for which no notice of assessment has yet been issued;
  • alleged failure to apply withholding tax on interest payable as part of a secured financing transaction, as disputed by means of notice with reference to 2014 (involving tax of €2.3m, plus fines and interest), and included again with reference to 2015 in the formal notice of assessment received in October 2019;

1 Mediobanca has also submitted an appeal, in conjunction with the other banks involved, to the Florence Court of Appeal to have the ruling that rejected the exception to the Italian judge having jurisdiction overturned. The first hearing has been set for 25 May 2021.

dispute over the application of transfer pricing between Mediobanca S.p.A. and Mediobanca International S.A. (based in Luxembourg) in the financial years from 2012-13 to 2016-17. With regard to this case, in October 2019 an agreement was reached with the Italian revenue authority which resulted in a payment of €21m, plus interest but no fines ("penalty protection"). At the same time, a new transfer pricing methodology has been agreed with the revenue authority, to minimize the tax risks going forward. Mediobanca took the opportunity to voluntarily free up profit reserves for a total of €42m deriving from Mediobanca International's activities prior to 2002, i.e. when the transparency taxation mechanism for companies with registered offices in countries with privileged taxation regimes (i.e. blacklisted countries) was not in place.

With reference to the first two charges, the company is convinced there has been no wrongdoing, and has challenged the rulings; in particular, the appeal presented by Mediobanca against the 2018 CFC charge was discussed by the Milan Province Tax Commission in November 2019, for which the ruling is now pending.

The enquiries launched by the French and German tax authorities into the Mediobanca Paris and Frankfurt branches were completed in December 2019. In both cases the enquiries focused on analysis of the branch offices' transfer pricing policies in force with the parent company, and resulted in the policies being amended and settlement agreements being signed without incurring any further charges in terms of taxes of fines (save for a very minor amount payable by way of interest), without prejudice in any case to the possibility of recovering the higher tax paid abroad in Italy. The provision for risks and charges is comfortably adequate to cover any charges due in connection with all the cases that have been brought against Mediobanca and the other Group companies (for which no other significant litigation is pending).

In addition to these, as at 30 June 2020 the following litigation was still pending:

  • One dispute arising from the alleged failure on the part of the former Banca Esperia to report the transfer of money outside Italy in the tax monitoring disclosures, for which fines of €5.9m were handed down. The company was found guilty at both the first two degrees of ruling, and has paid the amount due; but an appeal is still pending at the Italian Court of Cassation;
  • A second dispute regarding the alleged failure by Mediobanca to pay tax on a loan executed outside Italy, involving €375,000 in higher tax. The Bank was

successful at the second degree of ruling, but the Italian taxation authority has appealed to the Court of Cassation. A date for the hearing has still to be set.

With reference to the notice of collection delivered following an automatic check carried out on a tax return (Unico) submitted by Banca Esperia, after the tax relief was notified on 27 May 2020, notice has also been received that the matter has been discontinued; and the process of applying for a refund has been commenced.

The provision for risks and charges is comfortably adequate to cover any charges due in connection with all the cases that have been brought against Mediobanca.

INTRODUCTION

With regards to the Bank's risks governance process, a key role is played by the Risk Management division, which identifies, measures and monitors all the risks to which the Group is subject, and manages and mitigates them in co-ordination with the various business areas. The division's main duties and responsibilities are described below, along with its characteristics in terms of independence, plus an indication of the role of the other company units in risk management.

SECTION 1

1.1 CREDIT RISKS

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

1. General aspects

Although risk management is the responsibility of each individual business unit, the Risk Management unit presides over the functioning of the Bank's risk system, defining the appropriate global methodologies for measuring risks, current and future, in conformity with the regulatory requirements in force as well as the Bank's own operating choices identified in the RAF1 , monitoring risks, and ascertaining that the various limits established for the various business lines are complied with.

The Group Risk Management Unit, which reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer under the Group Chief Risk Officer's leadership, consists of the following sub-units: i) Group Enterprise Risk Management & Supervisory Relations, which manages the integrated Group processes (ICAAP, RAF, Recovery Plan, support in planning, etc.) and relations with the supervisory authorities, develops the quantitative methodologies for measuring and managing credit, market and counterparty risks, formulates the credit risk management policies, and carries out second-level controls on the risk parameters used to quantify impairment charges and calculate RWAs; ii) Credit Risk Management, responsible for credit risk analysis, assigning internal ratings to counterparties and the loss-given default

1 On 30 July 2020, the Board of Directors of Mediobanca approved a new version of the Group Policy on Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) Definition, which sets out the general principles, organizational model and implementation process for defining the Framework. In the RAF, based on the Strategic Plan and the maximum risk assumable that is set in it, the Group states the level and type of risks which it is intended to take, plus any tolerance thresholds and operating limits to be complied with in normal operating and/or stress conditions.

indicator in the event of insolvency; iii) Market Risk Management and Risk Automation, which monitors market and counterparty risk and is responsible for developing, co-ordinating, rationalizing and ensuring the consistency of IT development activities within Risk Management; iv) Liquidity and IR Risk Management, which monitors liquidity and interest rate risks on the banking book v) Operational Risk Management, responsible for developing and maintaining the systems for measuring and managing operational risks; vi) Group Internal Validation, which defines the methodologies, processes, instruments and reporting for use in internal validation activities, and is responsible for validating the Group's risk measurement systems; vii) Wealth Risk Management, which manages risks related to the investment products and services offered to clients by the Wealth Management division; and viii) Risk Management London Branch, which is responsible for controlling risks and co-ordinating operations between the London front office teams and the various risk management.

The Bank has been authorized by the supervisory authorities to calculate its capital requirements using its own internal rating system (based on the Probability of Default and Loss Given Default indicators) for the corporate portfolio.

2. Credit risk management policies

2.1 Organizational aspects

The Bank has equipped itself with a risk governance and control system which is structured across a variety of organizational units involved in the process, with a view to ensuring that all relevant risks to which the Bank is or might be exposed are managed effectively, and at the same time guarantee that all forms of operations are consistent with their own appetite for risk.

The Board of Directors, in view in particular of its role of strategic supervision, is responsible for approving strategic guidelines and directions of the risk appetite framework (RAF), the Internal Rating Systems (IRB) at the parent company level and the Roll-Out Plan for gradually extending the IRB approach across the whole Group, business and financial plans, budgets, risk management and internal control policies, and the Recovery Plan drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (Directive 2014/59/EU).

The Executive Committee is responsible for the ordinary management of the Bank and for co-ordination and management of the Group companies, without prejudice to the matters for which the Board of Directors has sole jurisdiction. The Risks Committee assists the Board of Directors in performing duties of monitoring

and instruction in respect of the internal controls, risk management, and accounting and IT systems. The Statutory Audit Committee supervises the risk management and control system as defined by the RAF and the internal controls system generally, assessing the effectiveness of the structures and units involved in the process and coordinating them.

Within the framework of the risk governance system implemented by the Bank, the following managerial committees have specific responsibilities in the processes of taking, managing, measuring and controlling risks: the Group Risk Management committee, responsible for issuing guidance in respect of credit, issuer, operational and conduct risk, and with powers of approval on market risks; Lending and Underwriting committee, for credit, issuer and conduct risk; Group ALM committee for monitoring the Group's ALM risk-taking and management policy (treasury and funding) and approving the methodologies for measuring exposure to liquidity and interest rate risk and the internal fund transfer rate; the Investments committee for equity investments owned and banking book equities; the New Operations committee, for prior analysis of new operations and the possibility of entering new sectors, new products and the related pricing models; the Operational risks committee, for management of operational risks in terms of monitoring risk profiles and defining mitigation actions; the Group Wealth Investments committee, for defining market views and monitoring their track record; the Private & Affluent Investments committee, for defining strategic and tactical asset allocation, and for selecting investment houses, funds and other financial instruments.

2.2 Management, measurement and control systems

In the process of defining its Risk Appetite Framework ("RAF"), the Bank has established the level of risk (overall and by individual type) which it intends to assume in order to pursue its own strategic objectives, and identified the metrics to be monitored and the relevant tolerance thresholds and risk limits. The RAF is the framework which sets the risks due to the company strategy (translating mission and strategy into qualitative and quantitative risk variables) in relation with the risk objectives of its operations (translating risk objectives into limits and incentives for each area).

As required by the prudential regulations, the formalization of risk objectives, through definition of the RAF, which are consistent with the maximum risk that can be taken, the business model and strategic guidance is a key factor in establishing a risk governance policy and internal controls system with the objective of enhancing the Bank's capability in terms of governing its own company risks, and also ensuring sustainable growth over the medium and long term. In this connection, the Bank has

developed a Risk Appetite Framework governance model which identifies the roles and responsibilities of the corporate bodies and units involved, with co-ordination mechanisms instituted to ensure the risk appetite is suitably bedded into the management processes.

In the process of defining its risk appetite, the Bank:

  • Identifies the risks which it is willing to assume;
  • Defines, for each risk, the objectives and limits in normal and stressed conditions;
  • Identifies the action necessary in operating terms to bring the risk back within the set objective.

To define the RAF, based on the strategic positioning and risk profile which the Bank has set itself the objective of achieving, the risk appetite statement is structured into metrics and risk thresholds, which are identified with reference to the six framework risk pillars, in line with best international practice: capital adequacy; liquidity; profitability; external risk metrics; bank-specific factors; and non-financial risks. The Board of Directors has a proactive role in defining the RAF, guaranteeing that the expected risk profile is consistent with the strategic plan, budget, ICAAP and recovery plan, and structured into adequate and effective metrics and limits. For each pillar analyzed, the risk assumed is set against a system of objectives and limits representative of the regulatory restrictions and the Group's general attitude towards risk, as defined in accordance with the strategic planning, ICAAP and risk management processes.

In addition to identifying and setting risk appetite parameters, Mediobanca S.p.A. also governs the mechanisms regulating the governance and processes for establishing and implementing the RAF, in terms of updating/revising it, monitoring, and escalating reporting to the Committees and corporate bodies. Based on its operations and the markets in which it operates, the Bank has identified the relevant risks to be submitted to specific assessment in the course of the reporting for the ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process), in accordance with the Bank of Italy instructions contained in circular no. 285 issued on 17 December 2013, "Supervisory instructions for banks" as amended, appraising its own capital adequacy from both a present and future perspective which takes into account the strategies and development of the reference scenario. As required by the provisions of the Capital Requirements Directive IV ("CRD IV"), the Bank prepares an Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process document (ILAAP), describing the set of policies, processes and instruments put in place to govern liquidity and funding

risks. The Bank's objective is to maintain a level of liquidity that enables it to meet the payment obligations, ordinary and extraordinary, which it has taken on while minimizing costs at the same time. The Bank's liquidity management strategy is based on the desire to maintain an appropriate balance between potential inflows and potential outflows, in the short and the medium/long term, by monitoring both regulatory and management metrics, in accordance with the risk profile defined as part of the RAF.

2.3 Methods for measuring expected losses

Under IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", assets which are recognized in the financial statements at fair value (i.e. loans, debt securities and off-balance-sheet exposures) must be tested for impairment based on expected losses.

The internal rating models are the baseline instrument for establishing the risk parameters to be used in calculating expected losses, subject to the regulatory indicators in particular being adjusted for aspects which are not suitable to be used directly in an accounting environment (e.g. in some cases reconverting the data to reflect a point-in-time approach). Under IFRS 9, expected losses are calculated from the product of the PD, LGD and EAD metrics. The calculation is based on the outstanding duration of the instruments for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk ("Stage 2") or which show objective signs of impairment ("Stage 3"), and on a time horizon of twelve months for the instruments not included in the previous two categories ("Stage 1"). For off-balance-sheet exposures, credit conversion factors are used to calculate the expected losses, derived from application of the internal models; if there are no specific models, the factors associated with the standard EAD calculation are used.

The Bank adopts qualitative and quantitative criteria to establish whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, using backstop indicators, such as accounts which are thirty or more days overdue or have been classified as forborne, to assess whether or not they should be treated as Stage 2. Cases of low-risk instruments at the recording date are identified, compatible with classification as Stage 1 (low credit risk exemption), where there is a BBB- rating on the Standard & Poor's scale, or a corresponding internal PD estimate. As required by IFRS 9, a change in forward-looking twelve-month PD is used as the benchmark quantitative metric for identifying positions to be classified as Stage 2. The Bank has verified that twelve-month PD is a reasonable proxy of increases in risk on a lifetime basis, and monitors the validity of this assumption over time.

In line with the guidance issued by EBA, ECB, ESMA and IASB issued following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, automatic reclassification mechanisms have not been applied for contractual changes made in connection with the various support programmes made available by the law, category association measures or independent initiatives offered to clients by the Bank itself2 .

In the absence of internal model ratings for a specific portfolio, the backstop indicators are used as qualitative criteria; qualitative factors taken into consideration for reclassification to Stage 2 include the counterparties being classified as "amber" or "red" in the watchlist.

The provisioning reflects the sum of the expected credit losses (over a time horizon of twelve months, or until the contractual expiry date of the relevant exposure, depending on which Stage it is classified in), discounted at the effective interest rate. The expected loss is the result of the combined valuation of three scenarios (baseline, mild-positive and mild-negative), weighted according to their likelihood of occurring. The scenarios, determined at Group level, are revised at least once every six months. In particular, the Group sets the estimates for the baseline scenario, compiling the economic variables using an external macroeconomic model which factors in the internal expectations for interest rates. Levels of deviation from the baseline scenario are established in order to determine the mild-negative and mild-positive scenarios; these deviations are obtained from historical analysis of trends in the macroeconomic parameters used in the risk parameter conditioning models. In line with the ECB guidance3 , issued in view of the Covid-19 emergency situation, the satellite model forecasts used in the IFRS 9 methodological framework to transmit macroeconomic effects to the risk parameters have in some cases been interpolated to factor in the increased risk of the current scenario without adding excessive volatility which would be unjustified given the expectations that the crisis is likely to diminish in the medium and/or long term. This has been done by applying a spline function to long-term trends (historical and future) in cases where the satellite model concerned gave excessively volatile results

-IASB: Statement of 27 March 2020, "IFRS 9 and Covid-19: Accounting for expected credit losses applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in the light of current uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic".

3 See in particular the following: ECB: Letter from the Chair of the Supervisory Board to all Significant Institutions, of 1 April 2020, "IFRS 9 in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic", containing guidelines on use of forecasts to estimate the expected credit loss during the pandemic.

over the medium and/or short period. To date the function has been applied to the satellite models used for the PD and LGD parameters for the Wholesale Banking portfolio, and to the model used for the LGD parameter for the mortgage portfolio.

Reference is made to section 5 for specific details of the treatment applied to each business segment.

In terms of the expected losses' sensitivity to changes in the macroeconomic scenario, these have been estimated by comparing the values of the expected losses at end-June with those obtained by using only the mild-negative scenario to condition the risk parameters. By following this method the increase in provisioning taken through profit and loss would amount to some 7m, chiefly for the corporate exposures, as it is associated with a deterioration of 0.8% in GDP for each of the next three years compared to the baseline scenario.

2.4 Credit risk mitigation techniques

The Bank has put in place a system for managing credit risk mitigation techniques, which covers the entire process of obtaining, assessing, supervising and implementing the mitigation instruments in use. The requisites for eligibility of collateral are set out in Regulation (EU) 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as amended (the "CRR"). The Bank has also compiled specific criteria by which collateral not recognized for regulatory purposes may in any case be recognized at the operating level as effective to mitigate credit risk.

The Bank also adopts risk mitigation policies through entering into netting and collateral agreements, checking to ascertain that the agreements are legally valid and meet the regulatory criteria in force to be recognized for prudential purposes.

Credit risk mitigation activities are governed by specific directives In particular the phases of obtaining the collateral, checking, reporting on and assessing its eligibility may be performed by different units. However, the role of Risk Management in setting eligibility criteria for regulatory and management purposes remains central. Controls of the mitigation instruments are included in the general risk control and management framework.

Monitoring of collateral consisting of financial instruments has been stepped up as a result of the high volatility witnessed on financial markets following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. For instance, in Private Banking the situations most at risk have been identified, and for "Lombard" credit in particular work has begun quickly on restoring the collateral margins typically associated with this form of credit. Due to the diversification of the portfolio of assets used as collateral, and

the haircuts applied when the lending value is calculated, no particular risk situations have emerged.

3. Non-performing credit exposures

The Bank is distinguished by its prudent approach to risk, which is reflected in the fact that its NPL levels are among the lowest seen in the Italian national panorama. Our management of non-performing loans also helps to keep the level of them on the books low, including the use of different options typically available, such as disposals (of both individual assets and portfolios), collateral enforcement activity, and negotiating restructuring agreements.

The Bank uses a single, like-for-like definition for all the following instances: "default" as defined by the regulations on regulatory capital requisites; "nonperforming", used for the supervisory reporting statistics; and Stage 3, or "creditimpaired", assets as defined by the accounting standards in force. In so doing, account has been taken of the provisions contained in the following documents: EBA Guidelines on the application of the definition of default (EBA/GL/2016/07), Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/171 of 19 October 2017, and Regulation (EU) 2018/1845 of the ECB of 21 November 2018.

Also of relevance in this connection are the recent guidelines released by the regulatory and supervisory authorities in connection with the Covid-19 emergency, in particular the EBA recommendations of 25 March 2020 in its "Statement on the application of the prudential framework regarding default, forbearance and IFRS9 in light of COVID-19 measures", which require banks to reassess the counterparty closely before reclassifying accounts when moratoria are granted (if a high number of moratoria with similar characteristics are granted, automatic mechanisms should be avoided and reclassifications made only when the borrower's status has been closely scrutinized). The EBA also subsequently issued "Guidelines on legislative and nonlegislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19", which detail the criteria to be fulfilled for moratoria not to be classified as forbearance measures or "distressed restructuring" which would result in their being categorized as in default. Also significant in this connection is the ECB's stance as set out in its "FAQs on ECB supervisory measures in reaction to the coronavirus" on 20 March 2020, whereby the use of a public guarantee issued in connection with the Covid-19 emergency is to be assessed with due flexibility as an indicator of default.

Provisioning is quantified individually, through valuations of discounted cash flows and balance-sheet multiples for companies which operate as going concerns, or asset valuations for companies entering liquidation.

At the monitoring stage the possible need to write off positions is also assessed, i.e. cases in which the credit may not be recoverable, in part or in whole. Accounts may be written off even before legal action to recover the asset is completed, and this does not necessarily entail waiving the Group's legal right to recover the amount due to it.

4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and concessions

Financial assets may be subject to contractual amendments based primarily on two different needs: to maintain a mutually satisfactory commercial relationship with clients, or to re-establish/improve the credit standing of a customer in financial difficulty, or about to become so, to help them meet the commitments they have entered into.

The former case, defined here as a commercial renegotiation, recurs at the point where the client might look to end the relationship, as a result of its own high credit standing and of favourable market conditions. In a situation such as this, changes can be made at the client's initiative or on a preventative basis with a view to maintaining the relationship with the client by improving the commercial terms offered, without having to forfeit a satisfactory return on the risk taken and in compliance with the general strategic objectives set (e.g. in terms of target customers).

The second case, which corresponds to the notion of forbearance measure, is detected in accordance with the specific regulations when contractual amendments are made, refinancing arrangements entered into, or when clauses provided for in the contract are exercised by the client. In line with the EBA and ECB statements following the Covid-19 crisis, no automatic reclassification mechanisms have been applied following contractual amendments made under the terms of the immediate support programmes provided by law or category association arrangements.

For an exposure to be classified as forborne, the Bank assesses whether or not such concessions (typically rescheduling expiry dates, suspending payments, refinancings or waivers to covenants) occur as a result of a situation of difficulty which can be traced to the accumulation, actual or potential (in the latter case if the concessions are not granted), of more than thirty days past due. Assessment of the borrower's financial difficulties is based primarily on individual analysis carried out as part of corporate banking business.

Both non-performing exposures and exposures for which the difficulties recorded are still compatible with their being treated as performing may be classified

as forborne. However, as described in the previous sections, a position being assigned the status of "forborne" is considered to be incompatible with its being treated as Stage 1. For this reason, the minimum periods of time that an exposure can be assigned "forborne" status stipulated in the regulations in force on supervisory statistical reporting are reflected in the prudent transitions between Stages 1, 2 and 3. For instance, when concessions have been made in respect of exposures at Stage 2, the exposures in question cannot return to Stage 1 in less than two years, in line with the minimum duration of two years provided for the "forborne performing exposure" status (during this period, the status can only be downgraded to reflect the exposure's transition to non-performing). Similarly, exposures in Stage 3 cannot be returned to Stage 1 in less than three years, in line with the requirement for "nonperforming forborne exposure" to retain this status for at least one year, followed (unless the non-performing status requires to be prolonged) by the minimum duration of two years for the "forborne performing exposure" status.

To return to Stage 1, exposures must give proof of having fully recovered their credit quality and the conditions requiring them to be classified as "forborne" must have ceased to apply. Accordingly, the monitoring to detect any new needs for exposures to transition back to Stages 2 or 3 is no different from the monitoring reserved to exposures which have not moved from Stage 1. Nonetheless, "forborne" exposures that have returned from Stage 3 to Stage 2 are subject to enhanced monitoring, for which, if there is a delay of more than thirty days in payment or if a new forbearance measure is applied, the exposure concerned returns immediately to Stage 3 on prudential grounds.

5. Details by individual business segment

Corporate activity

The Bank's internal system for managing, evaluating and controlling credit risk reflects its traditional policy based on a prudent and highly selective approach. Lending decisions are based on individual analysis, which builds on adequate and often extensive knowledge of the borrower's business, assets and management, as well as the macro-economic framework in which it operates. At the analysis stage, all relevant documentation is obtained to be order to appraise the borrower's credit standing and define the appropriate remuneration for the risk being assumed. The analysis also includes an assessment of the duration and amount of the loans being applied for, the provision of appropriate guarantees, and the use of covenants in order to prevent deteriorations in the counterparty's credit rating.

With reference to the correct application of credit risk mitigation techniques, specific activities are implemented to define and meet all the requirements to ensure that the real and personal guarantees have the maximum mitigating effects on the exposures.

For the assumption of credit risk, all counterparties are analysed and assigned an internal rating, assigned by the Risk Management unit on the basis of internal models which takes into account the specific quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the counterparty concerned. Proposed transactions are also subject to the application of LGD models where appropriate.

Loans originated by the business divisions are assessed by the Risk Management unit and regulated in accordance with the powers deliberated and the policy for managing most significant transactions, through the different operating levels.

The Credit Risk Management unit also carries out a review of the ratings assigned to the counterparties at least once a year. Approved loans must also be confirmed by the approving body with the same frequency.

In terms of monitoring the performance of individual credit exposures, Mediobanca has adopted an early warning methodology to identify a list of counterparties (known as the "watch-list") requiring in-depth analysis on account of their potential or manifest weaknesses. The exposures identified are then classified by level of alert (amber or red for performing accounts, black for non-performing items) and are reviewed regularly to identify the most appropriate mitigation actions to be taken. The watch-list is also used to provide qualitative information regarding allocation to Stage 2, which includes counterparties classified as "amber" or "red" for watch-list purposes. All forborne positions are also subject to specific monitoring.

Provisions are calculated individually for non-performing items and based on PD and LGD indicators for the performing portfolio. For individual provisioning, valuations based on discounted cash flows and balance-sheet multiples are applied to businesses which constitute going concerns, while asset valuations are used for companies in liquidation. For provisioning in respect of performing loans, the PD parameters are obtained starting from through-the-cycle matrices used to develop the internal rating model, which are then converted to point-in-time versions. The forward-looking component is factored in by applying the internal scenarios defined to the PD estimates. LGD readings are calculated based on the modelling used for the regulatory calculation, with the downturn effect removed.

The criterion for reclassifying positions to Stage 2, which is based on an increase in the PD indicator, has been supplemented with the additional specification that the internal rating for the position must have been downgraded by at least two notches from its original rating. This change has been introduced in order to capture the significant increase in risk as a result of the Covid-19 emergency, but the Group Chief Risk Officer and/or Lending and Underwriting Committee in any case have powers of discretion to revise the classification on prudential grounds.

Private Banking

Private banking operations include granting loans as a complementary activity in serving affluent, high net worth and institutional clients, with the aim of providing them with wealth management and asset management services. Exposure to credit risk versus clients takes various forms, such as cash loans (by granting credit on current account or through short-, medium- or long-term loans), authorizing overdrafts on current account, endorsements, mortgages and credit limits on credit cards.

Loans themselves are normally backed by collateral or guarantees (pledges over the client's financial instruments, assets under management or administration, mortgages over properties or guarantees issued by other credit institutions).

Lending activity is governed through operating powers which require the proposed loan to be assessed at various levels of the organization, with approval by the appointed bodies according to the level of risk being assumed based on the size of the loan, guarantees/collateral and the type of finance involved. Such loans are reviewed on a regular basis.

Provisioning for all non-performing contracts is made on an individual basis, and takes into account the value of the collateral. Provisions set aside in respect of the performing loan book are based on the estimated PD and LGD values distinguished by counterparty and whether or not there are guarantees.

6. Impact of Covid-19

6.1 Government and regulatory action following the Covid-19 pandemic

In order to address the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy, the Italian government launched a substantial first package of measures contained in the "Cura Italia" Decree Law issued on 17 March 2020, with the aim of safeguarding citizens' health and supporting the country's productive system by keeping firms

active and so preserving workers' jobs. This first package was soon followed by another, the "Liquidità" Decree Law issued on 8 April 2020, which added further measures to support businesses.

The "Relaunch" Decree Law of 19 May 2020 confirmed and reinforced the measures introduced by the "Cura Italia" Decree Law, extending their duration to meet the needs resulting from the gradual reopening of the economy launched on 4 May 2020 (known as "Phase 2"). This Decree Law includes significant measures to bolster the liquidity and capitalization of firms, support the production sectors most affected by the emergency, and fund investment and innovation.

The EU institutions (notably the EBA, ESMA, ECB and IASB) also intervened in response to the medical crisis, introducing extraordinary measures described in more detail in Part A.

6.2 Moratoria granted to clients in connection with Covid-19

In response to the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 emergency, Mediobanca has adhered to all provisions contained in the "Cura Italia" Decree Law4 , allowing SME clients with mortgages to benefit from suspension of repayments5 . Such clients are however only residual in number, and as at 30 June 2020, only three counterparties had taken up this option, involving a total amount of €1.2m6 .

The Bank has received around thirty waiver applications, only five of which to defer payments (involving a total amount by way of principal and interest of €12m. Given the temporary nature of the issues, and having ascertained that there are no structural problems with the counterparties' liquidity, the majority of the waivers granted have not been classified as forbearance measures, meaning that only four positions have been reclassified as stage 2. Despite these reclassifications, the Stage 2 positions decreased from €527.9m to €437.2m (and account for 3.2% of total loans).

6.3 Macroeconomic scenario and Covid-related impact

The provisioning as at 30 June 2020 reflects the most recent update to the macroeconomic scenario which incorporates the most recent estimates post-Covid-19. With reference to 30 June 2020, internal estimates have been developed based

on a more conservative scenario than the consensus, for the European geographies especially, which sees the economic slump continuing until 1Q 2021, at rates of contraction which are similar to those during lockdown; the recovery phase is assumed to begin only starting from 2Q 2021.

The macroeconomic scenario at end-June reflects a contraction in GDP for all world economies that is unprecedented in the last 90 years.

The estimates used by the Group for 2020 see GDP falling in Italy by 11.64%, in the EU area by 9.71%, and the United States by 10.77%. Equally, the figures show sharp rises in the unemployment rates: from 10% to 13.52% in Italy, dal 6.3% al 9.39% in Europe, and from 3.7% to 10.74% in the United States.

All these figures show substantial improvements for 2021 (GDP in Italy +0.82%; EU -0.11%; USA +7.64%), emphasizing the pro-cyclical effects which are characteristic of the point-in-time method used to calculate provisioning under IFRS 9. As mentioned in section 2.3 above, in line with the recommendations expressed by the regulators, the Bank has adopted methodologies for calculating and using forward-looking data that adequately reflect the specific features of the current macroeconomic scenario.

GDP forecasts 2020 2021 2022
Italy -11.64% 0.82% 5.25%
EU -9.71% -0.11% 5.13%

Table 1 – Macroeconomic scenario parameters (1 )

( 1 ) Taken from internal estimates based on a more conservative scenario than consensus for the European geographies in particular, according to which the economic slump could continue until 1Q 2021, at rates of contraction similar to those seen during lockdown; the recovery phase is assumed to begin only in 2Q 2021.

As mentioned above, the contraction in the global economy is expected to recover only starting from 2021, returning to pre-Covid levels only from mid-2022. The estimated trend in the macroeconomic scenario will therefore be reflected in the

trend in provisioning, which should gradually stabilize at lower values in line with the estimated recovery and with the six-monthly updates to the scenario.

Overall, the increase in loan loss provisioning for the twelve months attributable to Covid-19 is €44m (€42m of which in loans and guarantees issued including €7m of intercompany accounts), concentrated mainly in 4Q, in conjunction with the update to the scenario and the economic effects of the lockdown beginning to materialize.

As at 30 June 2020, gross non-performing exposures subject to forbearance measures 7 totalled €459,8m (30/6/19: €583m), with a coverage ratio of 38.4% (40.9%); while net NPLs totalled €283m (€344,7m).

Gross performing forborne exposures amount to €222m (€234,9m), with a coverage ratio of 4.2% (0.1%); which reduces to €212,7m (€234,6m) on a net basis.

Overall net non-performing forborne exposures represent 1.6% (1.9%) of total customer loans, while performing forborne exposures represent 1.2% (1.3%).

7 Forbearance is defined as when a specific concession is offered to a client who is facing, or who risks facing, temporary financial difficulties in meeting their payment obligations.

The Mediobanca Group adopts the Standard & Poor's ratings for all portfolios subject to assessment.

The table is compliant with the classification provided by Bank of Italy circular 262/05 (sixth update), which requires external ratings to be divided into six different classes of credit standing.

The first three risk classes (classes 1, 2 and 3) consist of investment grade exposures, with a Standard & Poor's rating of between AAA and BBB-, and represent 89% of the entire portfolio (93% last year), excluding unrated counterparties and non-performing loans.

The unrated exposures refer chiefly to Private Banking clients, portfolios that do not have an external rating.

Mediobanca uses models developed internally in the process of managing credit risk to assign ratings to each counterparty.

The models' different rating scales are mapped against a single Group master scale consisting of six different rating classes based on the underlying probability of default (PD) attributable to the S&P master scale.

C. Securitizations

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

The bulk of the portfolio consists of the Group's senior securitizations, with €2,574.3m in Quarzo bonds with performing Compass receivables as the underlying instrument, down on the figure reported last year (30/6/19: €3,851.7m).

The Bank has portfolio of securities deriving from securitizations by other issuers totaling €214.7m, €185.8m of which as part of the banking book (almost all HTC recognized at amortized cost) and €28.9m as part of the trading book.

The contribution from senior securities held as part of the banking book declined from €152.3m to €129m, following the reduction in the exposure to deals with NPLs as underlying instrument, the amount of which fell from €142.6m to €80.7m, 79% of which involved domestic deals (Unicredit-Fino, Intesa-Belvedere and Prisma), against an increase in securities with performing loans and CLOs as the underlying, to €48.4m (€9.7m); the portfolio reflects an increase in the exposure to mezzanine tranches to €56.3m (€3.3m), almost entirely attributable to the contribution of securities with performing receivables as the underlying instrument (€41.2m), and to a lesser extent, new investments in CLOs (€14.1m). The share of junior notes remains decidedly low at €0.4m. Overall the portfolio contains CLOs totalling €22.1m, €14.1m of which are mezzanine.

The trading book reflects a sizeable reduction, from €91.4m to €28.9m, with virtually the entire portfolio renewed. The balance at 30 June 2020 reflects almost exclusively mezzanine securities, €20.9m of which involve securitizations of performing receivables (mostly Italian) and €8m in CLO tranches. Movements for the period include the transfer of €50m to a fund in which a share worth a nominal €75m was subscribed.

Mediobanca also has an exposure to:

  • Cairn Loan Investments LLP (CLI and CLI II), Cairn-branded CLO management companies, which, in order to comply with the prudential regulations (Article 405 of Regulation (EU) 585/2013), invest in the junior tranches of the CLOs they manage, with investments of €26m and €13m respectively;
  • Italian Recovery Fund, a closed-end alternative investment fund (AIF) incorporated under Italian law and managed by DeA Capital SGR S.p.A. which is currently invested in four securitizations (Valentine, Berenice, Cube and

Este) with Italian banks' NPLs as the underlying instrument; the €30m commitment has to date been drawn as to €28m;

Negentropy RAIF – Debt Select Fund, an alternative investment fund instituted under Luxembourg law and managed by Negentropy Capital Partners Limited; the fund has a NAV of €112.3m, with senior tranches of Italian NPLs as the underlying instrument, 45% of which consists of the initial transfer from the Belvedere deal; Mediobanca, which acted as advisor on the deal, currently has an investment of €76.4m.

The secondary ABS market saw a sudden widening of spreads following the Covid-19 emergency, with a liquidity freeze which was largely mitigated by the monetary policy initiatives promoted by the central banks. The fiscal policy instruments finalized by the various governments, meanwhile, have preserved the average quality of the underlying instruments for the moment. However, the flow of new deals has slowed significantly, reflecting the fact that market conditions are currently less advantageous than the terms offered by the new T-LTRO.

F. Models for measuring credit risk

Mediobanca S.p.A. uses the IRB Advanced method, featuring the PD and LGD parameters, in order to quantify the capital requirement for credit risk on the Corporate portfolio. A plan has also been adopted to progressively role the internal models out to cover other categories of credit asset as well (the "Roll-Out Plan"). For these exposures, for which the standardized methodology is currently used to calculate the regulatory capital requirements, the Bank has nonetheless developed internal credit risk models that are used for management purposes. The Bank has also developed a portfolio model to calculate the economic capital for credit risk, which allows concentration and diversification effects (geographical and sector) to be taken into consideration. For further details please see "Section 1.1 Credit risk" in Part E of the Notes to the Accounts.

MARKET RISKS

2.1 INTEREST RATE RISK AND PRICE RISK – SUPERVISORY TRADING BOOK

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

The operating exposure to market risks generated by the positions held as part of the trading book are measured and monitored, and the earnings results from trading are calculated, on a daily basis principally through use of the following indicators:

  • Sensitivity mainly Delta and Vega to small changes in the principal risk factors (such as interest rates, share prices, exchange rates, credit spreads, inflation and volatility, dividends, correlations, etc.); sensitivity analysis shows the increase or decrease in the value of financial assets and derivatives to local changes in these risk factors, providing a static representation of the market risk of the trading portfolios;
  • Value-at-risk calculated using a weighted historical simulation method with scenarios updated daily, assuming a liquidation horizon of one business day and a confidence level of 99%.

Trading exposures are monitored daily through VaR and sensitivity, to ensure that the operating limits approved to reflect the risk appetite established by the Bank for its trading book, are complied with. In the case of VaR they also serve to assess the model's resilience through back-testing. Stress tests are also carried out daily (on specific positions) and monthly (on the rest of the trading book) on the main risk factors, to show the impact which more substantial movements in the main market variables might have, such as share prices and interest or exchange rates, calibrated on the basis of extreme changes in market variables.

Other complementary and more specific risk metrics are also calculated, in addition to VaR and sensitivity, in order to capture risks not fully measured by these indicators more effectively. The weight of products which require such metrics to be used is in any case extremely limited compared to the overall size of Mediobanca's trading book.

The strong market correction which followed the Covid-19 crisis drove an increase in the use of market risk limits, which resulted in desk control and reporting

activities being stepped up versus the committees, senior management and supervisors.

The aggregate value-at-risk on the trading book ranged from a low of €1.9m at end-September 2019 to a high of €7.7m in mid-March, with the average reading virtually unchanged at €4.2m (30/6/19: €4.3m); in mid-August the VAR reading was between €6m and €7m, in line with the figure at the reporting date. The closure of some large outright positions in mid-August caused a significant reduction VaR which fell abruptly, from €6m to €2m. VaR fluctuated from €2m at the start of February, before increasing progressively to reach €4m by the end of the month, as concerns began to rise over the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. From the time when the first cases of Covid-19 were reported in Italy, market volatility and VaR rose quickly, reaching the high of €7.7m in mid-March mentioned above. Thereafter the VaR reading remained at high levels, albeit slightly lower, fluctuating between €5m and €6m due to the strong volatility that continues to affect markets. The pointin-time reading for VaR as at 30 June 2020 was €5.8m (€6.3m).

Like VaR, the expected shortfall also showed an average reading in line with the previous year, at around €5.4m.

The results of the daily back-testing on the trading book (based on comparison with the theoretical profits and losses) in the twelve months showed four occasions on which the VaR value was departed from, all of which occurred between 9 and 17 March 2020 due to the instability and high market volatility that erupted following the outbreak of Covid-19.

Tab.1: Value-at-risk and expected shortfall: trading book

(*) Due to mismatch between risk factors.

Apart from the general VaR limit on aggregate trading positions, a system of sub-limits is also in place, reflecting a greater degree of granularity for the individual business units involved. Each trading desk also has limits in terms of sensitivities to movements in the various risk factors (1 basis point for interest rates and credit spreads, 1 percentage point for equities, exchange rates and equity volatility) which are monitored daily.

Compared to last year, the exposures to the various asset classes have not increased significantly. The average exposures to equities have increased, measured by both delta and vega, with marked fluctuation between highs and lows. The interest rate delta ranged from minus €361,000 to plus €806,000, with an average reading of around €23,000, and with more pronounced fluctuations between lows and highs than last year. Conversely, the exchange rate delta was lower than last year, ranging from a low of minus €187,000 to a high of €786,000 per percentage point (last year the high was €1.9m per percentage point).

2.2 INTEREST RATE RISK AND PRICE RISK – BANKING BOOK

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Mediobanca monitors and manages interest rate risk through sensitivity testing of net interest income and economic value. The former quantifies the impact of parallel and simultaneous 200 bps shocks in the interest rate curve on current earnings. In this testing, the asset stocks are maintained constant, renewing the items falling due with the same financial characteristics and assuming a time horizon of twelve months.

Conversely, the sensitivity of economic value measures the impact of future flows on the current value in the worst case scenario of those contemplated in the Basel Committee guidelines (BCBS).

All the scenarios present a floor set by the EBA guidelines (EBA/GL/2018/02) at minus 1% on the demand maturity with linear progression up to 0% at the twentyyear maturity.

For both sensitivities, the balance-sheet items have been treated based on their contractual profile, apart from current account deposits for retail clients, which have been treated on the basis of proprietary behavioral models, and consumer credit items and mortgages which reflect the possibility of early repayment).

To determine the value of the discounted cash flows, various benchmark curves have been used in order to discount and then determine the future interest rates, based on the value date on which the balance-sheet item itself is traded (multicurve). The credit component has been stripped out of the cash flows for the economic value sensitivity only.

With reference to the Group's banking book positions at 30 June 2020, in the event of a parallel and simultaneous 200 basis point reduction in interest rates ("parallel down"), estimated net interest income would not decrease at all.

With reference to analysis of the discounted value of estimated cash flows on the banking book, a flattener shock generates a €22m.

Hedging

Hedges are intended to neutralize possible losses that may be incurred on a given asset or liability, due to the volatility of a certain financial risk factor (interest rate, exchange rate, credit or some other risk parameter), through the gains that may

be realized on a hedge instrument which allow the changes in fair value or cash flows to be offset. For fair value hedges in particular, the Group seeks to minimize the financial risk on interest rates by bringing the entire interest-bearing exposure in line with Euribor (generally Euribor 3 months)1 .

A. Fair value hedges

Fair value hedges are used to neutralize exposure to interest rate, price or credit risk for particular asset or liability positions, via derivative contracts entered into with leading counterparties with high credit standings. It is principally the fixedrate, zero coupon and structured bond issues that are fair-value hedged. If structured bonds in particular do not show risks related to the main risk, the interest-rate component (hedge) is stripped out from the other risks represented in the trading book, and usually hedged by trades of the opposite sign.

Fair value hedges are used by Mediobanca S.p.A. to hedge fixed-rate transactions involving corporate loans and securities recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income or at amortized cost, and also to mitigate price risk on equity investments recognized at FVOCI. Like-for-like books of fixed-rate mortgage loans granted by CheBanca! are also fair value-hedged.

B. Cash flow hedges

These are used chiefly as part of certain Group companies' operations, in particular those operating in consumer credit and leasing. In these cases the numerous, generally fixed-rate and relatively small-sized transactions are hedged by floating-rate deposits for large amounts. The hedge is made in order to transform floating-rate deposits into fixed rate positions, correlating the relevant cash flows. Normally the Bank uses the derivative to fix the expected cost of deposits over the reference period, to cover floating-rate loans outstanding and future transactions linked to systematic renewals of such loans upon their expiring.

D. Hedging instruments

E. Hedged instruments

Hedged and hedging instruments are described in detail in the previous sections and at various points throughout the Annual Report.

1 This target is maintained even in the presence of hedging contracts with market counterparties with netting agreements and CSAs (collateralized standard agreements) have been entered into, the valuation of which is made on the basis of Eonia interest rates.

Counterparty risk

Counterparty risk generated by market transactions with clients or institutional counterparties is measured in terms of potential future exposure. As far as regards derivatives and short-term loan collateralization products (repos and securities lending), the calculation is based on determining the maximum potential exposure (assuming a 95% confidence level) for all the time steps up to 30 years. The scope of application regards all groups of counterparties which have relations with Mediobanca, taking into account the presence of netting agreements (e.g. ISDA, GMSLA or GMRA) and collateralization agreements (e.g. CSA), plus exposures deriving from interbank market transactions. For these three types of operations there are different exposure limits split by counterparty and/or group subject to internal analysis and approval by the Lending and Underwriting Committee.

2. Internal models and other methodologies used for sensitivity analysis

Exposures to exchange rates for the principal currencies at the aggregate Group level showed major changes in balances for the first six months of the financial year, before remaining stably at high levels until February 2020, after which there was a marked decrease in the absolute figures until the reporting date. Volatility for all major currencies remained at low levels until the Covid-19 crisis, which caused it to increase suddenly. Equally, the VaR for the exchange rate component fluctuated at low levels until mid-March 2020, when it reached a high, before decreasing slightly by end-June 2020. The average reading for VaR was around €10m, slightly lower than last year (€11.7m); while the point-in-time reading at 30 June 2020 was €11.8m (30/6/19: €9.2m).

Liquidity risk

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Banks are naturally exposed to liquidity risk as a result of the role they perform in the maturity transformation process which is a typical part of banking activity.

Liquidity risk has different timing profiles:

  • the current or potential risk of the entity not being able to manage its own liquidity needs effectively in the short term ("liquidity risk");
  • the risk of the Bank not having stable sources of financing in the medium or long term, meaning it is unable to meet its financial requirements without incurring an excessive increase in the cost of financing ("funding risk").

An adequate liquidity and funding risk management system is fundamental to ensure the stability of the Group and the financial system in general, given that a single bank's difficulties would affect the system as a whole. The liquidity and funding risk management system is developed as part of the Risk Appetite Framework and the risk tolerance levels contained in it. In particular, one of the management objectives contained in the Risk Appetite Framework is to maintain a liquidity position which is sufficient to cope with a period of severe stress (combining Bank-specific and systemic stress factors) lasting three months.

The Group Liquidity Risk Management Policy (the "Policy") approved by the Board of Directors of Mediobanca S.p.A. sets the objective of having an adequate level of highly liquid assets to cover the cash flows to be maintained over the short and medium/long term.

The Policy also sets out the roles and responsibilities of the company units and governing bodies, the risk measurement metrics in use, the guidelines for carrying out the stress testing process, the funds transfer pricing system, and the contingency funding plan.

The Policy assigns various important duties to the Board of Directors, including definition and approval of the guidelines and strategic direction, responsibility for ensuring that the risk governance system is fully reliable, and monitoring the trends in liquidity and funding risk and the Group's Risk Appetite Framework over time.

The Group ALM Committee also discusses the issues most relevant to liquidity risk, defining the asset and liability structure and related risk of mismatch between them taken on, directing operations in line with the commercial and financial objectives set in the budget and the Group's Risk Appetite Framework.

In application of Article 86 of Directive 2013/36/EU, the Mediobanca Group identifies, measures, manages and monitors liquidity risk as part of the internal liquidity adequacy assessment process (ILAAP). In this process, which constitutes an integral part of the supervisory authority's activities (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, or SREP), the Mediobanca Group carries out a self-assessment of its liquidity risk management and measurement from both a qualitative and quantitative perspective. The results of the risk profile adequacy assessment and the overall self-assessment are presented annually to the governing bodies.

The liquidity governance process for the Mediobanca Group as a whole is centralized at the parent company level, where the strategy and guidelines are devised which the Group companies must comply with, thereby ensuring that the liquidity position is managed and controlled at the consolidated level.

The parent company units responsible for ensuring that the Policy is applied accurately are:

  • Group Treasury, which is responsible at Group level for managing liquidity, funding, collateral and the funds transfer pricing system;
  • Business & Capital Planning, which supports Risk Management and Group Treasury in drawing up the Group Funding Plan which is consistent with the budget objectives;
  • Risk Management which, in accordance with the principles of separation and independence, is responsible for the Group's second-level integrated control for current and future risks, in accordance with the Group's regulations and governance strategies.

The Group Audit Unit is responsible for appraising the functioning and reliability of the controls system for liquidity risk management and for reviewing adequacy and compliance with the requisites established by the regulations. The results of the checks carried out are submitted to the governing bodies once a year.

The Group's objective is to maintain a level of liquidity that will allow it to meet the payment obligations it has undertaken, ordinary and extraordinary, at the established maturities, while at the same time keeping the costs involved to a minimum and hence without incurring non-recurring losses. The Mediobanca Group

short-term liquidity policy is intended ensure that the mismatch between cash inflows and outflows, expected and not expected, remains sustainable in the short term, even over an intra-day time horizon.

In accordance with the Policy, the Group calculates and monitors the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio), ALMM (Additional Liquidity Monitoring Metrics) and NSFR (Net Stable Funding Ratio) regulatory indicators. Throughout the twelve months both the LCR and the NSFR, which form part of the Group's Risk Appetite Framework, at all times remained above the regulatory limits set. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the European Central Bank introduced temporary measures to increase banks' reserves in order to help address the crisis. Banks were therefore allowed to let their liquidity indicators fall to below the regulatory limits, and measures were adopted to relax the criteria for collateral eligibility at the Eurosystem level, to help credit institutions maintain and mobilize sufficient collateral to take part in the liquidity injection operations. These measures, which were adopted by the ECB's Governing Council on 7 April 2020, were then reinforced on 22 April 2020 in order to mitigate the adverse impact of possible rating downgrades due to the economic consequences of Covid-19 on the availability of collateral for the Eurosystem.

Alongside the previous indicators, an event governance model has also been provided known as the Contingency Funding Plan (described in the Regulations) to be implemented in the event of a crisis by following a procedure approved by the Board of Directors.

The objective of the Contingency Funding Plan is to ensure prompt implementation of effective action to tackle a liquidity crisis, through precise identification of stakeholders, powers, responsibilities, communication procedures and reporting criteria, in order to increase the likelihood of coming through the state of emergency successfully. This objective is achieved primarily by activating an extraordinary operational and liquidity governance model, supported by consistent internal and external reporting and a series of specific indicators.

In order to identify a "contingency" state in timely manner, a system of early warning indicators (EWIs) has been prepared, to monitor situations that could lead to deterioration in the Group's liquidity position deriving from external factors and/or from situations which are specific to the Banking Group itself.

To summarize, the liquidity risk mitigation factors adopted by the Mediobanca Group are as follows:

  • an adequate level of high-quality, highly liquid assets to offset any mismatches, extended or otherwise;
  • precise short-term and long-term liquidity planning, alongside careful estimating and monitoring activity;
  • a robust stress testing framework which is updated regularly;
  • an efficient contingency funding plan to identify crisis states and the actions to be taken in such circumstances, through a reliable pre-alarm indicator system.

Operational risk

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Definition

Operating risk is the risk of incurring losses as a result of the inadequacy or malfunctioning of procedures, staff and IT systems, human error or external events.

Capital requirement for operational risks

To manage operational risk, Mediobanca has adopted the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) in order to calculate the capital requirement for covering operating risk, applying a margin of 15% to the three-year average for the relevant indicator. Based on this method of calculation, the capital requirement as at 30 June 2020 was 109,0m (117,3m last year).

Risk mitigation

Operational risks are managed, in Mediobanca and the main Group companies, by a specific Operational risk management team within the Risk Management unit.

The processes of identifying, assessing, collecting and analysing loss data and mitigating operational risks are defined and implemented on the basis of the Operational risk management policy adopted at Group level and applied in accordance with the principle of proportionality in Mediobanca S.p.A. and the individual Group companies.

Based on the evidence obtained, action to mitigate the most relevant operational risks has been proposed, implemented and monitored on a constant basis.

The operating losses recorded in the course of the financial year have been low and account for under 1% of the Group's total income.

As for the different classes of operational risk, the percentage composition of the Group's Basel II event types is shown in the table below.

Event Type % on Total Loss
Execution, delivery and process management 80%
Employment practices and workplace safety 14%
Clients, products and business practices 3%
Other 3%
Total 100%

Potential operational risks (based on estimates), operational risks are higher than they have been in the past because of launch of the Wealth Management business. The potential risk of low frequency/high severity events remains highg inherent in businesses which feature non-standard and large-sized transactions, such as CIB and in part Wealth Management. Operational risks have been mitigated and continue to be mitigated on an ongoing basis through an increase in the risk assessment and monitoring framework and enhancement of the governance and first-level controls.

With reference to IT risk in particular, an IT Governance unit has been set up which, in accordance with Operational Risk Management, guarantees the assessment and mitigation of IT risks, manages the security of the systems and governs changes in the business continuity and disaster recovery plans at Group level.

With regard to the IT incidents generated by the outsourcer responsible for managing the Group's technology infrastructure, a series of activities are currently in progress which, pending a more wide-ranging revision of the contract in force, include measures to strengthen governance of the service provided, and schedule actions in the short and medium term to guarantee the systems' levels of resilience still further.

Litigation risk: risks deriving from cases outstanding

For a description of the claims currently pending against Mediobanca S.p.A., please see Section B – Liabilities on pp. 139-143.

Other risks

Own funds and supervisory capital requirements for banks

Since its inception, one of the distinguishing features of Mediobanca has been the solidity of its financial structure, with capital ratios that have been consistently higher than those required by the regulatory guidelines. The surplus capital is justified by the type of operations performed by the Bank on the corporate market.

2.1 Own funds

Scope of application for regulations

Based on the new body of supervisory and corporate governance rules for banks which consists of Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV), Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR/CRR II) issued by the European Parliament starting from 2013 and enacted in Italy in Bank of Italy circular no. 285 as amended,1 the Group has applied the phase-in regime, and in particular, having received the relevant authorizations, has weighted the Assicurazioni Generali investment at 370% as permitted by Article 471 of CRR2, which extended the effectiveness of the phasein period until 31 December 2024.2

Furthermore, in order to mitigate the effect of the new accounting standards on banks' prudential ratios, since last year last year (IFRS 9 first-time adoption) the Group has applied the static approach provided by Regulation (EU) 2017/2395, "Transitional arrangements for mitigating the impact of the introduction of IFRS 9 on own funds", which updates Regulation (EU) 575/2013 ("CRR") by incorporating a new version of Article 473a "Introduction of IFRS 9", offers banks the possibility of neutralizing the effect of the increase in loan loss provisions for performing loans for

1 Including the recent updates in response to the current economic situation contained in the "Quick Fix" banking package approved by the European Parliament and Commission on 19 June 2020.

2 Application of Article 471 is limited to the book value recorded in December 2012 and compliance with the concentration limit versus large insurance groups. The most recent update to Bank of Italy circular no. 285 has amended the national regulations on the assumption of risks versus related parties. As a result, exposures to insurance companies held in accordance with the provisions of Article 471 of the CRR (the "Danish Compromise") are excluded from calculation of the exposure limits. In the light of this change and until June 2021 (when CRR II comes into force), the Group's investment in Assicurazioni Generali group is deducted from regulatory capital in order to respect the general concentration limit of 25% of eligible capital (CRR large exposures), rather than the narrower limit of 20% for related parties.

a transitional period of five years,3 by including a decreasing amount of loan loss provisions in CET1 over that time.

For the moment the Group has decided not to take up the option to extend the phase-in regime (for another five years) to mitigate the impact on own funds of higher IFRS 9-related adjustments due to Covid-19, and to neutralize the impact deriving from changes in the valuation reserves for sovereign debt securities and the filter for excluding certain exposures to central banks from the those used to calculate the leverage ratio.

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital consists of the share attributable to the Group and to minority shareholders of capital paid up, reserves (including €70.5m of the positive FVOCI financial assets reserves, €1.5m in government securities), plus profit for the period (€39.4m) which has been included in full in the calculation of CET1 following the ECB Recommendation not to pay dividends during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The deductions regard:

  • Treasury shares as to €267.1m;
  • Intangible assets as to €32.4m, slightly lower than last year (€35.7m);
  • Prudential changes to the valuation of financial instruments (AVA and DVA) amounting to €45.6m (30/6/19: €47.5m);
  • Interests in financial companies (banking and insurance firms) exceeding the limits set, totalling €22.3m, lower than the figure reported at end-June 2019 (€144.9m) due to the new concentration limit versus Assicurazioni Generali.

No Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments have been issued.

3 Year 1: 95%; Year 2: 85%; Year 3:70%; Year 4: 50%; Year 5: 25%.

Tier 2 capital includes subordinated liabilities, down in the twelve months from €1,522.7m to €1,225.1m due to prudential amortization, plus the buffer consisting of the difference between the higher value adjustments booked and the prudential expected losses linked to the AIRB models, which reflect a surplus of €49.4 m (versus €2.6 m last year).

No subordinated tier 2 issue benefits from the grand-fathering permitted under Articles 483ff of the CRR.

2.2 Capital adequacy

A. QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

As at 30 June 2020, the Common Equity Ratio, calculated as tier 1 capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets, amounted to 14.81%, higher than last year (14.37%) due to the entire profit for the year being included in the calculation

(adding 15 bps), plus the lower deductions relating to the investment in Assicurazioni Generali as a result of the change in the concentration limit (which added 35 bps, including the changes to the other significant investments), which was only in part offset by the increase in RWAs (down 5 bps, from €31,006m to €31,179m).

The total capital ratio was stable at 18.25% (18.28%).

Fully-loaded and without application of the Danish Compromise, i.e. with the Assicurazioni Generali stake fully deducted (accounting for €786.6m, including the indirect effects) and with full application of the IFRS 9 effect (which accounted for -€2.5m, considering the indirect effects), the CET1 ratio was 13.72% and the total capital ratio 17.56%, also higher than the figures reported at end-June last year, which were 13.09% and 17.41% respectively.

The Leverage Ratio, calculated without taking advantage of the temporary possibility allowed by the regulator to exclude reserves held with central banks from the exposures, was 8.5% (30/6/19: 7.9%), well above the regulatory limit set (3%). Fully-loaded, the ratio declines to 7% (6.5%).

2. Related party disclosure

In January 2011 the Group adopted its own related parties procedure, in pursuance of Consob resolution no. 17221 issued on 12 March 2010. The purpose of the procedure is to ensure that transactions with related parties executed directly by Mediobanca or via subsidiaries are managed transparently and fairly. The Board of Directors of Mediobanca, having received favourable opinions from the Bank's Related Parties and Statutory Audit Committees, has incorporated the Bank of Italy's most recent instructions on this subject to this procedure, which introduce prudential limits for risk activities versus related parties. The new version of the procedure came into force on 31 December 2012 and was updated in June 2019 and last July. The full document is published on the Bank's website at www.mediobanca.com.

For the definition of related parties adopted, please see part A of the notes to the accounts (Accounting Policies).

Accounts with related parties fall within the ordinary operations of the Group companies, are maintained on an arm's length basis, and are entered into in the interests of the individual companies concerned. Details of Directors' and strategic management's compensation are provided in a footnote to the table.

1.1 Regular financial disclosure: most significant transactions

There were no such transactions to report during the financial year under review.

1.2 Quantitative information

The exposure to non-Group companies (representing the sum of assets plus guarantees and commitments) decreased during the year under review, from €1.4bn to €1.1bn, following the exit of the Unicredit Group due to the sale of its investment in Mediobanca. The contribution to the total assets therefore decreases from 2.2% to 1.7% as well as the one interest income (from 3.4% to 1.7%).

3 In respect of awards made in 2015, 2016, 2017,2018,2019 and 2020.

2. Description of stock option and performance stock option schemes

The stock option and performance stock option schemes approved pursuant to Article 2441, paragraphs 8 and 5, of the Italian Civil Code, provide for a maximum duration of eight years and a vesting period of thirty-six months.

The schemes were launched with a dual purpose: encouraging loyalty retention among key staff members, i.e. persuading employees with essential and/or critical roles within the Group to stay with Mediobanca; and making the remuneration package offered to them more diversified and flexible.

The choice of beneficiaries and decisions as to the number of options to be allocated are taken in view of the role performed by the person concerned with the company's organization and their importance in terms of creating value.

Awards of stock options finished with the financial year ended 30 June 2012, and the vesting ended in June 2015; hence the remaining shares from the resolution adopted by shareholders in general meeting cannot be used.

3. Description of performance share scheme

As part of its use of equity instruments for staff remuneration purposes, Mediobanca has also chosen to adopt a performance share scheme, which was approved by the Bank's shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 28 October 2019 (in renewal of the scheme approved by shareholders in annual general meeting on 28 October 2015).

Under the terms of the scheme, in certain conditions Mediobanca shares may be awarded to staff free of charge at the end of a vesting period. The rationale for the scheme is to:

  • ― Bring the Bank's remuneration structure into line with the regulations requiring that a share of the variable remuneration component be paid in the form of equity instruments, over a time horizon of several years, subject to performance conditions and hence consistent with results sustainable over time;
  • ― Align the interests of Mediobanca's management with those of shareholders to create value over the medium/long term.

In connection with this proposal, a resolution to increase the company's share capital was adopted by shareholders at the annual general meeting referred to above, with up to 20 million new Mediobanca shares being issued; the 26,611,288 treasury shares owned by the Bank may also be used for this purpose.

On 19th December 2019, the Board of Directors has approved the Long- Term Incentive (LTI) plan, addressed to the Mediobanca Chief Executive Officer and General Manager and to the Compass and CheBanca!

Part M – DISCLOSURE ON LEASING

SECTION 1: LESSOR

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

With reference to IFRS 16 coming into force and the contracts which fall within its scope of application, virtually the only leases the Mediobanca Group has outstanding in this connection are for properties and company cars, plus some hardware leases for only a residual amount. The property leases mostly involve premises used as offices. Such leases normally have durations of more than twelve months, and typically contain renewal or termination clauses which both lessor and lessee can exercise in accordance with the provisions of law and/or specific contractual arrangements, if any. Generally speaking such leases do not contain an option to buy at expiry or entail substantial reinstatement costs for the Group. As for the car leases, these are long-term agreements for the fleet of company cars available for use by staff members for work-related purposes in accordance with Group policy in this area.

At the first-time adoption stage for IFRS 16, some simplifications have been used. In particular, leases with duration of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") have been excluded, as have those involving amounts of less than €5,000 ("low value leases"), and those for intangibles. It has also been decided not to strip out the service component from the lease proper; hence the full contract has been recognized. The discount rate used has been derived from the Funds Transfer Pricing curve used in treasury management by the Group Treasury unit.

In cases where the original lease has been replicated with another counterparty (i.e. sub-leased), the related liability is matched by an amount receivable from the counterparty at the date rather than by its value in use. Sub-leasing arrangements involve only negligible amounts.

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

For quantitative information on the impact on the Group's financial and earnings situation, reference is made to the contents of the following sections of the Notes to the Accounts:

  • Information on rights of use acquired, in "Notes to the consolidated balance sheet – Assets – Section 8";
  • Information on amounts due under leases, in the "Notes to the consolidated balance sheet – Liabilities – Section 1";
  • For the effects on earnings, "Part C Notes to the consolidated profit and loss account", in particular the headings for interest income and expense and net adjustments to tangible assets.

The value in use recorded in the balance sheet at 30 June 2020 was €22,717,000, broken down as follows:

  • Value in use of properties: €18,518,000;
  • Value in use of vehicles: €4,105,000;
  • Value in use of other assets: €94,000;

The increase in assets on the balance sheet had a 1 bps impact on RWAs at 30 June 2020.

SECTION 2: LESSEE

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

With reference to contracts covered by the new IFRS 16, the only ones that are relevant for Mediobanca are sub-leasing contracts for properties. These contracts, which form part of finance lease operations, are not recurring and involve negligible amounts (€22m as at end-June 2020).

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

For quantitative information on the impact on the Group's financial and earnings situation, reference is made to the contents of the relevant sections of the Notes to the Accounts.

  • for information on amounts due under sub-leases, "Part B Notes to the balance sheet – Assets – Section 4"
  • for the effects on earnings, "Part C Notes to the profit and loss account", specifically under the items interest income and interest expense and net adjustments to tangible assets.

As permitted by IFRS 16, the Group has decided not to restate comparative data in connection with the first-time adoption of the new standard. Accordingly, the table does not contain the equivalent balances as at 30 June 2019.

The table provides a maturity analysis of the lease payments receivable, and a reconciliation of the undiscounted lease payments to the net investment in the lease, as required by IFRS 16, paragraph 94. In particular it should be noted that the payments receivable under the lease, which consist of the sum of minimum payments due by way of principal and interest, are stated net of any provisions and the discounted unguaranteed residual value due to the lessor. These are reconciled with the net investment in the lease, recognized in the balance sheet under financial assets recognized at amortized cost, by subtracting financial profits not accrued and adding the unguaranteed residual value. Non-performing leases acquired are not included.

2. Operating leases

The Group currently has no operating leases outstanding.
