REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Mediobanca S.p.A. delivered a net profit for the twelve months of €578.4m, a strong increase on the €39.4m reported last year, on a generalized improvement in banking activities (total revenues up 31.6%), plus higher dividends collected from associate company Assicurazioni Generali of €204.7m (30/6/20: €101.4m) and subsidiary Compass Banca (€200m).

Total income was up more than 80% on last year, from €562.9m to €1,019.9m, with banking revenues benefiting strongly from the new macroeconomic scenario and recovery. The main income items reflected the following performances:

  • Net interest income rose by 21.1%, from €99.9m to €121m, as a result of lower interest expense (down 13.6%) due to recourse to less expensive forms of funding, in particular the T-LTRO programme which contributed funds of €57.4m in the twelve months (€18.6m), making up for the reduction in profitability on assets;
  • Net fee and commission income rose by 30.8%, from €231.7m to €303.1m, with positive contributions from capital markets (fees up from €22.9m to €62.5m), lending (from €33.8m to €45.8m), and Private Banking (from €69.7m to €81.4m);
  • Net treasury income was up 41.1%, from €127.1m to €179.4m, on positive performances from the proprietary trading book (€32.4m, compared with the €7.7m loss last year) and the banking book (up from €36.2m to €60.2m), which offset the reduction in client business (down from €83m to €58.4m), reflecting the difficulties encountered in distributing structured products, fixed-income especially;
  • Dividends from equity investments soared from €104.2m to €416.4m, with collections, in addition to those for Assicurazioni and Compass referred to above, from the investments in Messier et Associés (€9.5m) and Burgo (€2.2m).

Operating costs returned to growth at a slower rate than the income items, rising 4.7%, from €402.7m to €421.8m, all concentrated in labour costs which rose by 12.6%, from €221.9m to €249.8m, due to the increase in the variable component in line with the performance in revenues; whereas administrative expenses were

down 4.9%, from €180.8m to €172m, as a result of the drastic cut in costs for travel, events and entertainments.

Loan loss provisions reflect writebacks of €75.4m, much higher than last year (€15.7m) due to the provisioning for the Burgo investment being reversed back to earnings (€110m), along with the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario given the high quality of the loan book (which was preserved in the course of the twelve months), meaning there was no impact on profit and loss despite substantial overlays of €63m being provided.

Provisions for other financial assets totalled €44.1m, reflecting upward adjustments to holdings in funds and other mandatory positions (€52.7m, compared with writedowns of €11.3m last year), only marginally offset by the adjustments taken for the banking book securities (€8.7m).

As for other net income (losses), a loss of €29.4m was recorded (compared with €39.7m last year), due to the increase in the contributions to the resolution funds which rose by 15% (from €39.7m to €45.6m), more than offset by the non-recurring tax items of €16.2m (€9.4m of which deriving from the so-called "Patent Box"1 and €6.8m in tax relief on intangible assets2 ).

On the balance sheet, total assets rose from €64.8bn to €72.7bn, on higher customer loans (up 21.6%) covered by higher deposits attributable to CheBanca! (up 38%) plus the increased recourse to the T-LTRO facilities(up €1.8bn).

Mediobanca's capital ratios remained at high levels, despite reflecting the proposed dividend and the changes to the regulations.

The Common Equity Ratio phase-in was 14.60%: the profit for the year was entirely absorbed by the proposed dividend, hence the slight reduction from twelve months ago (14.81%) is due to organic growth of RWAs (which accounted for 70 bps) and changes to the regulations (which accounted for 15 bps), including the impact of the new treatment for exposures to UCITS and counterparty risk and the higher deduction for the Assicurazioni Generali investment due to the stricter concentration limit of 25% of CET1 capital only rather than of total eligible capital. These capital

2 In reference to Italian budget law for 2021 (cf. Article 110 of Italian Decree Law 104/20).

absorptions were largely offset by the higher valuation reserves (adding 30 bps) and the capital optimization measures implemented during the twelve months (which added 35 bps following application of the financial duration method for the market requirement and exemption from calculation of the credit valuation adjustment risk for exposures to corporate counterparties). The total capital ratio also fell accordingly, from 18.25% to 17.87%.

The fully-loaded ratios, i.e. without weighting the Assicurazioni Generali investment at 370% and with full application of the IFRS9 effect, stood at 13.36% (CET1 ratio) and 16.96% (total capital ratio), slightly lower than last year, when they were 13.72% and 17.56% respectively).

At the Annual General Meeting to be held on 28 October 2021, shareholders will be asked, subject to authorization from the ECB, to authorize management to cancel the treasury shares held by the Bank and to implement a new share buyback up to the equivalent of 3% of the company's share capital.

Significant events that took place during the twelve months under review were as follows:

  • The Burgo group debt restructuring plan under Article 67 of the Italian Bankruptcy Law has been completed, with the entry of a new institutional investor (the QuattroR fund) and the refinancing of the entire existing debt, senior and convertible. In view of this, the new position has been given assigned performing status, resulting in the writeback of much of the provision previously set aside to cover the previous exposure classified as UTP, releasing approx. €110m to the profit and loss account. At the same time, the equity instrument received in 2015 for a nominal amount of €130m which was written off entirely, has now been recognized at a fair value of €55m (42% of its nominal value);3
  • An agreement has been signed with the Italian revenue authority for profits deriving from use of the Mediobanca brand to be eligible for tax relief (under

the so-called "Patent Box" regulations);4 this initiative, which was launched in May 2016, has enabled the current taxation for FY 2020-21 to be reduced by €9.4m, in respect of the 2015-20 five-year period (the maximum period allowed by the regulations);

  • Realignment of tax and accounting values for the former Banca Esperia brand and goodwill plus two properties, pursuant to Article 110 of Italian Decree Law 104/205 , resulting in €6.8m being taken through profit and loss, representing the balance of the provision set aside for the withholding tax to be paid (€4.7m) and the calculation of the tax benefit expected in the coming years (deferred tax of €11.5m);
  • The departure of Erik Maris, one of the two founding partners of Frenchbased subsidiary Messier et Associés – Groupe Mediobanca, resulting in the relevant clawback mechanisms being activated for part of the upfront remuneration paid to him (which had been deposited in an escrow account), and in his minority share (of 16.7%) being bought out for a token price of €1. Overall this resulted in a gain for Mediobanca of €13.9m, which, however, was offset by a reduction in the value of the investment, to reflect the likely reduction in profits going forward as a result of the partner's exit.

Review of key items

Funding – funding grew from €46.3bn to €52bn, chiefly reflecting the increase in CheBanca! deposits (from €12.2bn to €16.8bn, mostly in connection with centralized treasury activities6 ) and the increased use of the T-LTRO programme (up from €5.7bn to €7.4bn) in view of the extension of the favourable terms offered (additional premium of 50 bps) with the aim of reducing the Group's cost of funding. The debt security component remained basically stable, edging up from €16.3bn to €16.4bn, on new issues of €2.7bn against redemptions and buybacks on the market totalling €2.6bn. The new issues included the first senior unsecured green bond (€500m), the return to the institutional subordinated market (with the issue of a €250m Tier 2 bond), plus the first Italian covered bond issued at negative interest rates (€750m) with an effective time-to-market.

Loans and advances to customers – the 21.6% increase in customer loans, from €30.5bn to €37.1bn, chiefly regards loans to Group companies, which rose from €16.9bn to €23.5bn, in particular CheBanca! (up from €7bn to €10.7bn) and Compass Banca (up from €4.8bn to €7.2bn), the upward trend reflecting once again the centralized treasury management component as well as ordinary activities. Loans and advances to Private Banking customers increased slightly, from €1.1bn to €1.3bn, while loans to corporate clients remained stable at €12.3bn (€12.4bn) despite a spike in early redemptions (€1.7bn) which impacted on the recovery in new loans (up 5.3%, to €4.4bn), virtually all of which, however, were concentrated in the investment grade so as not to affect the quality of the portfolio.

6 In order to improve the efficiency of interest rate and liquidity management, Mediobanca S.p.A. has funded much of the Group's mortgage lending activity directly, which has increased the centralized current account component.

Non-performing loans recorded their lowest levels for the past decade: gross NPLs totalled €144.9m (€468.7m), regard just two corporate positions and four Private Banking exposures, and account for 1.07% of total loans (3.5%). Net NPLs totalled €74.3m (€287.2m last year), equal to 0.55% of the total loan book, with a higher coverage ratio of 48.7% (38.7%). Bad debts totalled €10.3m, all of which in relation to Private Banking activity, and have been written off in full. The figures also include non-performing exposures backed by intercompany guarantees issued to Mediobanca International involving a gross amount of €21m, with provisions of €4.1m.

The net balance of positions classified as Stage2 decreased from €437.2m to €334.3m (0.90% of total loans), and chiefly regards the Large Corporate segment (up from €386.3m to €287.1m), with €242.9m of the reduction attributable to repayments which offset the €143.8m transfers to Stage2, most of which for counterparties which have seen a significant increase in credit risk as a result of their individual credit rating being revised.

The coverage ratio for performing loans was basically stable, decreasing from 0.23% to 0.22%), as a result of the careful provisioning policy which absorbed the effects of application of the IFRS9 model, which involved setting aside overlays of €63m. In particular, with the update of the macroeconomic scenario at end-June 2021, the expected loss calculated by the models reduced significantly versus the levels observed at end-December 2020; the effect of this change was neutralized with overlays totalling €46m, in addition to the approx. €17m set aside for prudential reasons in order to increase the provisioning for all borrowers operating in the sectors worst affected by Covid-19 or which have applied for waivers since the start of the pandemic.

In response to the economic crisis generated by the medical emergency, Mediobanca has adhered to the provisions introduced by the "Cura Italia" decree,7 allowing SME clients to suspend repayments for a time. As at 30 June 2021, the moratoria period had expired for all of the three counterparties that had taken up this option, involving a total amount of €0.9m.

Mediobanca has received around thirty applications for waivers to financial covenants from corporate clients; of these, only some have not met a capital or interest payment. Given the temporary nature of the difficulties involved and the lack of structural problems for these counterparties in terms of their liquidity, only two of these waivers constitute forbearance measures. Nonetheless, some of these positions have been reclassified as Stage2 on prudential grounds in any case (as at 30 June 2021, these represented approx. one-quarter of the applications and involved a total exposure of €349m,8 or 0.9% of the total performing loan book).

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 IFRS9 have to be recognized at fair value through profit and loss.

7 Italian Decree Law 18/2020 (the so-called "Cura Italia" decree), as converted into law by Italian Law 27/2020.

8 This represents the total amount of gross on-balance-sheet exposures on the books of Mediobanca S.p.A., plus the total amount of the exposures for which waivers have been granted by other Group companies (Wholesale Banking) but guaranteed by the parent company.

The increase in equity investments, from €4.1bn to €4.5bn, chiefly involves the capital increases implemented by some of the Group companies, in particular CheBanca! (€280m).

Investments in associates are unchanged at €1,135.3m, and consist of the investment in Assicurazioni Generali (equal to 12.8% of the ordinary share capital) booked at €1,096.3m, and the investment in Istituto Europeo di Oncologia (25.4% of the ordinary share capital), booked at €39m. At the reporting date, the unrealized gain on the Assicurazioni Generali investment is above €2bn (€2,526m based on current stock market prices).

Interests in subsidiaries rose from €2,015.4m to €2,322.1m, the increase being due to the following:

  • The capital increase implemented by CheBanca! in an amount of €280m, which was necessary in order to improve the company's individual leverage ratio;
  • The capital increase implemented by Cairn Capital (£22.8m subscribed for, against an increase in the share capital of £26.5m) in connection with the Revenue Sharing Agreement entered into as part of the Bybrook deal, plus the buyout of certain minority interests amounting to £7m which takes the share which Mediobanca owns in the company to 85.13%;
  • The buyout of minority interests in RAM (€10.1m), taking the share owned by Mediobanca in the company to 94.7%; acquisition of this stake, at fair value, enabled the impact of the impairment charges (in line with those taken at the consolidated level) to be kept to just €1.5m;
  • The reduction in the book value at which the Messier et Associés investment is carried, of €13.9m, to reflect the reduced profitability going forward after one of the two equity partners left the company, offset by the gain realized on activating the clawback mechanisms provided, and acquisition of a further

16.7% stake in the company for a token price of €1; overall Mediobanca now holds a stake of 83.11% in the company, which is carried at a book value of €93.9m (30/6/20: 66.42%, at €107.9m).

Equities (listed and unlisted) and other equity instruments rose from €299.1m to €388.6m, chiefly to adjustments to fair value at the reporting date (adding €77.8m, booked to the net equity reserves), €55m of which refer to the Burgo equity instrument. Seed capital invested in funds managed by Group companies rose by €4.9m, representing the difference between net divestments in the twelve months (€-41.9m) and alignment to the investments' respective NAVs at the reporting date (for a total of €46.8m). Holdings in private equity and other funds decreased from €225.6m to €210.5m, following redemptions of €20.1m against upward value adjustments of €5.1m.

This segment reflects a value of €8,716.0m, lower than last year (€9,592.2m), following the repayment of certain Compass Banca securitizations (€1.4bn). External purchases amounted to €4.3bn (mostly Italian government securities classified as HTC&S), and outweighed disposals and redemptions totalling €3.8bn, with €48.7m in profits realized. The OCI reserve increased from €13.1m to €73m, chiefly due to upward adjustments to reflect fair value at end-June 2021 totalling €107.5m.

The share of sovereign debt securities increased from €4.4bn to €5.1bn, of which €3.3bn Italian, with duration of approx. three years; the Group's securitizations (with Compass Banca receivables as the underlying instrument) fell from €2.6bn to €1.2bn.

Unrealized gains on securities classified as HTC (which are recognized at cost) increased from €49.6m to €123.5m.

Net treasury assets – the balance between financial instruments held for trading purposes and trading assets and liabilities totalled €7,290m, higher than the €6,555.7m reported last year, due to trading in financial assets, in particular equities (up from €1,789.7m to €2,238.5m) and bonds (up from €597.4m to €870.9m), largely offset by the increase in trading liabilities due to the rise in issues of certificates (from €1,357.1m to €1,882.9m) and the reduction in net treasury funding, which decreased from €4,614.1m to €3,826.5m.

More efficient liquidity management led to a reduction in deposits held with the ECB (from €3.1bn to €1.6bn) in favour of more dynamic treasury assets (such as time deposits, repos, secured/unsecured trades, etc.), while seeking to preserve the liquidity indicators, such as the LCR and Asset Encumbrance Ratio, and minimize the impact of any temporary excess liquidity.

Provisions – provisions totalled €136.5m, higher than last year (€121.6m), the increase being due to the higher amounts set aside for commitments to disburse finance and for guarantees issued (from €42.5m to €60.2m) mostly due to the ongoing uncertainty of the macroeconomic scenario. The staff severance indemnity provision reduced slightly, from €7.7m to €7.4m, as did the provisions for other risks and expenses (from €71.4m to €68.9m), reflecting withdrawals for legal expenses and labour costs.

The share capital remained unchanged, at €443.6m, while treasury shares owned were down slightly (at 24.9 million, or 2.81% of the share capital, compared with 26.6 million and 3% last year), after 1.7 million shares were used in connection with the performance share scheme.

Profit and loss account

Net interest income – Net interest income rose from €99.9m to €121m, an increase of 21.1%, reflecting the substantial reduction in interest expense (from €467.4m to €403.7m), due chiefly to the lower cost of funding (in turn attributable to the increased recourse to the T-LTRO facility), which offset the reduction in interest income (from €567.3m to €524.7m) reflecting the lower returns on loans and the decrease in NII from the banking book (down €131.5m to €103.2m).

Interest expense (403.7) (467.4) -13.6%
Interest margin 121.0 99.9 21.1%

Net treasury income totalled €179.4m, an increase of 41.1% on last year (€127.1m). This result was driven in particular by the contribution of the proprietary trading book, which went from a €7.7m loss last year to a €32.4m profit, and by that of the banking book (the profit on which rose from €36.2m to €60.2m), offsetting the reduction in Capital Market Solutions client activity (from €83m to €58.4m) due to the difficulties encountered in distributing structured products, which hit the fixed-income segment in particular, which was made even more pronounced by last year's good performance. Dividends and other income from funds invested as part of Principal Investing increased from €15.6m to €28.4m due in part to certain non-recurring items (dividends from Jakala and Philogen).

Net fee and commission income rose from €231.7m to €303.1m, an increase of 30.8% attributable to all segments but in particular to intense activity in Equity Capital Markets which delivered an outstanding performance of €62.5m, through participating in all the largest domestic deals. Fees from lending also increased, from €33.8m to €45.8m, while the contribution from advisory business was virtually unchanged (down marginally from €78.6m to €77.6m). Private Banking operations contributed fees of €81.4m, a sharp increase on last year (€69.7m), helped by a good performance in management and brokerage fees which offset the reduction in performance fees (from €5.9m to €2.1m) to which should be added fees credit back to others in connection with private equity initiatives placed with clients (approx. €8m).

Dividends from equity investments and investments in Group companies – these totalled €416.4m, far higher than last year (€104.2m), due to the higher contribution from Assicurazioni Generali (up from €101.4m to €204.7m), Compass Banca resuming payment of a dividend (€200m), and amounts collected from Messier et Associés (€9.5m, the ordinary dividend for 2020) and Burgo (€2.2m, a one-off distribution linked to the company's restructuring).

Operating costs – operating costs rose by 4.7%, from €402.7m to €421.8m, and chiefly regard labour costs (up 12.6%, from €221.9m to €249.8m), reflecting the higher variable component aligned with the outstanding results delivered by the Bank in all its business lines and in investment banking in particular. Administrative expenses were down 4.9% (from €180.8m to €172m), due in particular to the reduced impact of spending on travel, events and entertainment (other labour costs); the increase in other data processing costs reflects the investments in technology and the resumption of project activities, and also includes the component for software that is no longer acquired directly so the share of the amortization is gradually replaced by the service charge.

Loan loss provisions – writebacks increased from €15.7m to €75.4m, continuing to benefit from the reduction in UTP positions and the related release of funds back to profit and loss (the Burgo effect was equal to €110m). The heading also reflects the increased use of overlays for performing positions made on prudential grounds (approx. €35m for on-balance-sheet positions and approx. €28m for off-balancesheet positions), to neutralize the writebacks deriving from the adaptation of the macroeconomic scenario in the IFRS9 models, so as to maintain the same level of provisioning as at end-2020.

Provisions for other financial assets9 – this heading reflects net writebacks of €44.1m for the twelve months (compared with €21.8m in net writedowns last year), representing the balance between upward adjustments for financial assets mandatorily recognized at fair value (investments in Group funds and other private

In particular, recognizing the seed capital invested in equity products (RAM AI) and credit products (Cairn Capital) generated €41.7m, comfortably offsetting the €10.9m net loss reported last year.

Other gains (losses) – this item reflects a net loss of €29.4m, representing a slight recovery from the €39.7m loss incurred last year. This heading consists of:

  • Contributions to resolution funds totalling €45.6m, split between the EU Single Resolution Fund (€34.1m, 14% higher than last year), the final tranche of the additional contribution to the national resolution fund (€11.1m), and the contribution to the Italian deposit guarantee scheme (DGS) (€0.4m);
  • The one-off gain (€16.2m) deriving from adhering to the "Patent Box" process10 for the Mediobanca brand (€9.4m) and the tax relief11 on former Banca Esperia intangible assets and portions of real estate assets (€6.8m), representing the balance between withholding tax payable (€4.7m) and the benefit from alignment of advance/deferred income tax (€11.5m).

Income tax rose from €13.6m last year to €108.2m, on a tax rate that declined from 25.7% to 15.8%, due to the lower percentage accounted for by the nondeductible component of labour costs, depreciation/amortization and other administrative expenses for IRAP purposes. The tax rate was boosted by the partial exemption of dividends on equity investments.

Mediobanca (as consolidating entity) has adopted tax consolidation, which includes Compass Banca, SelmaBipiemme Leasing, MIS, CheBanca!, MBCredit Solutions 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.

In May 2021, the Board of Directors of Mediobanca S.p.A. adopted the guidelines and conduct principles for the Group in applying the tax regulations in Italy and elsewhere. These are contained in the document on Tax conduct principles which has been published on the Group's website, and constitute one of the prerequisites for adopting the Tax Control Framework.

Outlook

The fact that so many of the one-off items recorded this year are unlikely to be repeated should be offset by the marked improvement in the macroeconomic scenario. The likely absence of so many big tickets in investment banking (which at present are not foreseeable) should be compensated by further acceleration in Private Banking business and a recovery in corporate lending, while the expected lower income from Principal Investing and the banking book should be offset by more buoyant client-driven activities.

At the same time, operating costs are set to grow, following the resumption of project activities and travel and entertainment-related expenses which this year were at an all-time low.

The cost of risk continues to be conditional upon the performances of the UTP positions and to the substantial overlays set aside, which should help repeat the good levels seen in recent years.

Financial year ended 30 June 2021: proposal to approve financial statements and allocation of profit

Dear shareholders,

The net profit for the year was € 578,366,244.96 to be allocated as follows:

4,656.60 To
the
Legal
reserve,
which
accordingly
would
amount to €88,728,001.30, or 20% of the Bank's
share capital;
57,831,967.90 To the Statutory reserve;
520,529,620.46 Profit remaining

We therefore propose to distribute a €0.66 dividend on each of the 862,369,906 shares in issue entitling their holders to such rights, taking account of the redistribution of treasury shares attributable, for a total amount of €569,164,137.96, consisting of the remaining profit plus €48,634,517.50 taken from the Statutory Reserve, as shown in the table below.

It should be noted that the dividend per share will remain unchanged even if the Bank at the record date owns more treasury shares than it does at the date hereof. If this were to happen, the overall amount of the profit distributed will be reduced accordingly, and the difference taken to the Statutory Reserve.

Accordingly, you are invited to approve the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, including the balance sheet, profit and loss account and accompanying schedules, plus the following profit allocation:

Net profit for the year € 578,366,244.96

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REPORT

STATUTORY AUDIT COMMITTEE'S REPORT as required under Article 153 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98

Dear Shareholders,

This report, which has been prepared as required under Article 153 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98 (the "Italian Consolidated Finance Act"), refers to the activities carried out by the Statutory Audit Committee (the "Statutory Audit Committee") of Mediobanca S.p.A. ("Mediobanca", the "Bank" or the "Company") during the financial year ended 30 June 2021, in accordance with the relevant regulations, and taking into account the Rules of Conduct for Statutory Audit Committees recommended by the Italian national council of chartered accountants and accounting experts ("CNDCEC").

On 28 October 2020, the shareholders of Mediobanca, gathered in Annual General Meeting, reappointed the Statutory Audit Committee after the end of the previous three-year term of office, appointing the following members for the subsequent period, that is, up to the approval of the financial statements of Mediobanca for the twelve months ending 30 June 2023: Francesco Di Carlo (Chair), Elena Pagnoni and Ambrogio Virgilio (Standing Auditors). Francesco Di Carlo had already served as Statutory Auditor on the outgoing Committee.

During the course of the year, the Statutory Audit Committee, in its previous and new composition, met on a total of 29 occasions, 13 of which with the Risks Committee; it also took part in 11 Board meetings, 11 Executive Committee meetings, 10 Related Parties' Committee meetings, and 9 Remuneration Committee meetings.

The Statutory Audit Committee members also took part in the induction programme for members of Mediobanca's governing bodies, and in specific meetings to illustrate the Group's strategies and to provide analysis of the geopolitical scenario and macroeconomic prospects.

1. Supervision of compliance with law and Articles of Association

The Statutory Audit Committee has received regular information from the Directors, inter alia through participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and the other Board committees, and on the occasion of the meetings with the chairpersons of the Statutory Audit Committees of the Group legal entities and other members of the Bank's own management, on the activities carried out, the management actions performed, and based on the information available, the Committee is able to provide reasonable confirmation that these transactions have been carried out in compliance with the provisions of the law and the company's Articles of Association.

Significant events during the twelve months under review which the Statutory Audit Committee considers appropriate to recall here in view of their relevance to assessment of the Bank's solidity and the consistency of the management decisions made with the strategic guidelines established in the 2019-23 business plan include the following:

  • Confirmation of the SREP prudential requirements which, in view of the Group's strengthening capital solidity, has driven a further increase in the capital buffers; the SREP Overall Capital Requirement ("OCR") has been set at 11.75%, which, in view of the regulatory changes introduced, translates to a minimum CET1 requirement of 7.94%;
  • Cairn Capital, with the support of its majority shareholder Mediobanca, has entered into a strategic partnership agreement whereby Cairn Capital will acquire Bybrook Capital LLP, a London-based specialist credit manager, focused on stressed/distressed debt; the deal was completed on 31 August 2021, after clearance was received from the competent regulatory authorities. Bybrook's activities will be consolidated as from 1 September 2021;
  • The merger of Futuro into Compass Banca, effective in legal terms as from 1 November 2020 and in accounting terms from 1 July 2020;
  • The signing of an agreement with the Italian revenue authorities regarding tax relief on profits deriving from use of the Mediobanca and Compass Banca brands (under the so-called "Patent Box" regulations), which has reduced the tax burden for FY 2020-21 on a one-off basis.

The Group has continued with the main actions undertaken last year to manage the emergency situation deriving from the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, the Crisis Unit chaired by the Group General Manager, with the objective of safeguarding the Group's operations, has proceeded inter alia to update the protocol adopted by the Group to prevent and limit the spread of the virus, to regulate the percentage occupancy rates of the offices at headquarters and the branches, and to provide a specific compulsory e-learning module for all staff, and to strengthen the business continuity resources for staff working at home. The measures adopted have enabled the effects of the pandemic to be managed in line with the legal provisions in force from time to time.

With reference to relations with the authorities, the Statutory Audit Committee has at all times been kept updated by the relevant company units – in particular the Risk Management unit insofar as regards the ECB and the Bank of Italy, and the Compliance unit for Consob and the antitrust authorities (AGCM) – of the enquiries and checks made by the authorities. The Risk Management unit informs the Committee on a monthly basis of the various activities performed by the ECB, presents the results of such activities, and reports on the remediation actions in progress for problems raised by the authority.

The Statutory Audit Committee has continue to monitor the work agreed with the ECB in connection with managing data quality and the IT infrastructure, the 2019 SREP letter as confirmed in 2020, and the ECB Guidance on leveraged transactions.

2. Monitoring compliance with principles of proper management

The Statutory Audit Committee has been informed regarding, and has monitored, the Bank's compliance with the principles of proper management, by obtaining information from the heads of the control units and the Head of Company Financial Reporting (the "Head of Company Financial Reporting"), and through meetings with the External Auditors involving the mutual exchange of relevant data and information. It also met with the Chief Executive Officer and Group General Manager and other senior management figures of the Bank in the course of meetings of the Board of Directors, the Board Committees and

the induction sessions, as well as in ad hoc meetings, on several occasions in the course of the financial year, to obtain information on the operating performance, internal controls system and the principal risks facing the company. During these meetings the Committee was able to note that the reporting flows from the main company units and the Group legal entities had been regular, and that the Board of Directors had been kept informed on an ongoing basis regarding the Bank's and the legal entities' activities.

The Statutory Audit Committee may therefore reasonably affirm that the operations performed have been carried out in accordance with the principles of proper management, and that the operating decisions have been taken on the basis of adequate reporting flows being made available and with awareness of the risks involved.

In particular, with regard to the most significant earnings, financial and capital transactions executed by the Bank and supervised by the Committee, the latter is able to reasonably confirm that the transactions referred to are compliant with the provisions of the law and the company's Articles of Association and are not manifestly imprudent, reckless, or such as to compromise the integrity of the company's capital. The transactions in which Directors had interests were approved in accordance with the provision of the law, regulations, the Articles of Association in force and the internal regulations. The disclosure required under Article 150 of the Italian Finance Act was made by the Chief Executive Officer and the Head of Company Financial Reporting in the disclosure provided in connection with the annual and interim financial statements.

Based on the financial reporting and the information received in the course of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the information provided by the Head of the Group Audit Unit, the Statutory Audit Committees of the directly-owned subsidiaries, and the external audit firm, the Statutory Audit Committee also noted that no atypical and/or unusual transactions have been entered into with Group companies, third parties or related parties, that is to say, no transactions that could give rise to doubts over the accuracy and/or thoroughness of the information contained in the financial statements, over conflicts of interest, the safe keeping of the company's capital, or the protection of minority shareholders.

Our meetings with members of the main Group companies' Statutory Audit Committees revealed no critical issues. Equally, no such issues emerged from our meetings with the same Committees regarding the activities performed as supervisory bodies instituted pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01.

The Statutory Audit Committee also expressed its opinion on the remuneration of directors when requested.

3. Supervisory activity of the adequacy of the Bank's organizational structure

The Bank's organizational structure has not changed materially during the twelve months under review. In this period, however, work has continued on streamlining certain internal units, in particular as follows:

  • The institution of the role of Group Chief Financial Officer, to whom the Planning, Accounting and Financial Reporting and Group Treasury units report;
  • Reorganization of the CIB Debt Division, entailing:
    • Revision of the responsibilities for the various geographies, in order to making the support activities for origination and structuring more efficient and effective;
    • Establishment of a Rating, ESG and Capital Solutions unit, with focus on credit ratings activities and ESG products.

Mediobanca currently operates in the United Kingdom through its London branch office on a cross-border basis under the Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR) granted by the Financial Conduct Authority, which enables the Bank to continue performing its current activities as though formally authorized. Mediobanca expects to launch the formal process for obtaining full proper authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority to operate in the United Kingdom as a third country firm by year-end 2022. Mediobanca has also undertaken a series of initiatives, in accordance with ECB guidelines, to address the issue of the ban on serving EU clients from the United Kingdom. These have included transferring some front office staff members, including key function holders, from the London branch to the Bank's EU-based offices (15 in total in the course of 2020).

Some uncertainties still remain over application of certain market regulations (e.g. shares/derivatives trading obligations), for which specific solutions have been adopted to ensure compliance with the new rules.

The Statutory Audit Committee has also supervised the performance of the parent company's activities of co-ordination and control over the Group companies. The Bank has adopted Group Regulations to define the organizational architecture, co-ordination mechanisms and governance instruments, and the areas for which the parent company's central units have jurisdiction and responsibility. Each individual legal entity's Board of Directors must also approve the Group Regulations, as well as any internal regulations of its own insofar as these are consistent with those of the Group.

The parent company performs its activities of direction and co-ordination through: a) issuing strategic guidelines for the Group as a whole and for each individual legal entity, via the preparation of three-year strategic plans and annual budgets; b) issuing Group Policies, Regulations and Directives compiled by the central units at parent company level; c) centralized coverage of the principal risks facing the Group. The individual legal entities' control units, where these have not been centralized, also report to the equivalent units at parent company level.

The Committee has also monitored the adequacy of the instructions given by the company to its subsidiaries, as required by Article 114, paragraph 2 of the Italian Finance Act.

4. Corporate governance

The Statutory Audit Committee has assessed the ways in which the Code of conduct in respect of listed companies (version 2018) operated by Borsa Italiana and adopted by Mediobanca on the terms illustrated in the "Annual statement on corporate governance and ownership structure" is implemented. In particular, the recommendations made by the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee on 22 December 2020 were brought to the attention of the Board of Directors (at a meeting held on 9 February 2021) and incorporated as part of the self-assessment process.

On 29 July 2021, the Board of Directors completed its own self-assessment exercise, as required by the Supervisory Instructions for banks in the area of corporate governance and the relevant EU regulations, on the Board's functioning, size and composition and those of the Committees set up by it.

The results of this exercise are described at length in the Annual Statement on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure. The self-assessment process involved all Directors and Statutory Auditors, and was performed with the support of an external consultant by means of answering a questionnaire.

The Statutory Audit Committee checked that the criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to ascertain the independence of its members were properly applied in practice.

In accordance with the Supervisory Instructions and with the recommendations made in the Conduct Regulations for the Statutory Audit Committees of Listed Companies instituted by the Italian national association of chartered accountants, the Committee has carried out its own self-assessment of the collective suitability of the Committee's composition, including with reference to the report by the outgoing Committee on its qualitative and quantitative composition in July 2020. The Committee concluded that its collective composition conformed to the regulatory requirements and is in line with the composition identified as optimal in the report just referred to, and meets the requisites in terms of professional qualifications, competence, integrity, absence of situations of incompatibility, proper conduct and independence, and the other requisites set, in particular regarding time commitment and situations of potential conflict of interest involving individual members.

5. Supervision of transactions with related parties

The Statutory Audit Committee has reviewed the Procedure in respect of related parties, its compliance with the regulations in force, and its application in practice. It has taken part in all meetings of the Related Parties Committee, instituted under the procedure referred to, and has received regular information on the transactions that have been performed. The Statutory Audit Committee is not aware of any intra-group transactions or deals with related parties carried out in conflict with the interests of Mediobanca.

During the year under review, no transactions qualifying as "most significant" under the terms of the Procedure were executed.

The Statutory Audit Committee checked that adequate information had been provided on transactions with related parties by the Board of Directors

in its Review of Operations and the notes to the accounts, in view of the requirements set in the regulations in force.

The Regulations governing transactions with related parties, which includes the internal policies on controls for risk activities and conflicts of interest versus related parties as an annex, was revised in July 2021. All the proposed changes serve to incorporate the updated version of Consob resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 which came into force on 1 July 2021. The various changes made include Consob having transposed into its own regulations the definitions contained in the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted according the procedure set out in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002. The Statutory Audit Committee said it was in favour of the proposed amendments.

The Statutory Audit Committee, having reviewed the activities performed by the various units involved in the Related Parties procedure, and in particular the results of the checks carried out by the Group Audit Unit, considers that transactions with related parties are managed adequately, and as far as the Committee is aware, the procedure has been applied accurately in practice.

6. Supervision of the internal control and risk management system

The Statutory Audit Committee has monitored the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system, by:

  • Holding meetings with the Bank's senior management to examine the internal control and risk management system;
  • Holding regular meetings with the Group Audit, Compliance, AML and Risk Management units (the "Control Units") to evaluate the methods used for planning activities based on identification and assessment of the principal risks involved in the various processes and organizational units;
  • Review of the control units' reports and regular information on the outcome of monitoring activity and the status of corrective action highlighted;
  • Receiving information from the heads of the various divisions of the company;
  • Being informed of the activities performed by the Compliance Officer of the London branch, approved by the FCA since June 2020 as the London Branch Money Laundering Reporting Officer;

  • Meetings with the heads of the supervisory bodies of the leading Group companies, in accordance with the provisions of Article 151, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, in the course of which the Statutory Audit Committee obtained information on developments involving the Group companies and the internal controls system considered to be significant;
  • Discussion of the results of the work performed by the External Auditors;
  • Taking part in meetings of the Risks Committee, and through the organization of joint meetings between the Statutory Audit Committee and the Risks Committee.

The Statutory Audit Committee has also monitored observance of the remuneration policies in force with reference to the compensation paid to the control units, taking part in all meetings of the Remunerations Committee.

Mediobanca updated its Group Policy on the Internal Controls System in July 2021. This Policy defines the internal control system's structure, the roles and responsibilities of the governing bodies and the control units, and the means of co-ordination between these units. The Mediobanca internal controls system is compliant with the recommendations of international progress as applied in Italy by Bank of Italy circular no. 285. The control system is structured across three levels: the first refers to line controls intended to guarantee that operations are performed correctly; the second level to control of risks and compliance with the regulations; and the third level to identifying breaches of procedures and internal regulations. To complete the framework in place for the internal controls system and in line with the regulatory provisions in force, specific control duties are assigned to certain units not strictly attributable to the second- and thirdlevel controls described above (e.g. relating to financial disclosure and IT risk).

Regarding the first-level controls, Mediobanca has instituted operational procedures (or process flows) which cover all activities performed and define, in accordance with the company process tree, the relevant activities, roles, instruments and line controls. These procedures are updated by Group Organization – with which the Statutory Audit Committee has met regularly to receive updates on its activities – on a regular basis, to bring them in line with any changes in the external or internal regulations, changes to the Bank's organizational structure and operating methods, and to incorporate suggestions for improvement which emerge from the activities performed by the control units themselves.

As far as regards the second and third levels, in the performance of its control activities, the Statutory Audit Committee has maintained an ongoing dialogue with the Control Units.

The Statutory Audit Committee duly notes that the annual reports by the Control Units conclude with a positive overall verdict of the company's internal controls system.

The Group Audit Unit prepared the annual combined report based on the annual reports received from all the control units. The combined report shows that the coverage of risks is substantially adequate in terms of the thoroughness, adequacy, functioning, and reliability of the internal controls system.

Based on the activities performed, the information obtained, the contents of the Control Units' six-monthly and annual reports, and in particular the overall favourable opinion expressed by the Group Audit Unit on the internal controls system, the Statutory Audit Committee believes there are no critical issues that could jeopardize the Group's internal controls and risk management system. A summary of these units' activities is provided below.

Group Audit Unit

The Group Audit Unit's operations are based on three-year and one-year audit plans. The three-year Group plan sets the objectives, and serves also to co-ordinate and direct the work for the three-year and one-year plans prepared by the individual companies. In the space of three years assurance is provided for all processes identified in the risk assessment used to define priority of audit. The one-year plan establishes which activities and processes are to be analysed in accordance with the three-year plan and from a risk-based perspective. The plans are approved once a year by the Board of Directors.

The dialogue between the Statutory Audit Committee and the Group Audit Unit is ongoing during the year. The Group Audit Unit informs the Committee promptly if any negative evidence emerges in the course of its audit activity.

The activities planned for the year under review substantially covered the scope of activities which the unit had undertaken to execute, and also the target in terms of mix of audits to be carried out was basically met. No significant critical issues emerged from this activity. The audit and followup activities performed (including at Group level) in any case highlighted the need for the relevant company units to implement the remediation actions identified, in order to mitigate the risks inherent in certain operating processes and practices which are residual in any banking activity but without prejudicing the reliability of the internal controls system which as a whole continues to be adequate.

In planning its activities, the Committee agreed the annual audit plan for matters relating to the RAF and Most Significant Transactions with the Group Audit Unit. The results of these controls were then brought to the attention of the Statutory Audit Committee, which analysed the work done by the unit, the enhancements introduced by the Bank to the framework, and the various suggestions made from a continuous improvement perspective, while monitoring the state of progress on the various open points.

The Group Audit Unit has continued to provide support to the regulators, mainly the ECB, by providing regular briefings (annual meeting, Brexit, Covid-19 updates), performing the audits requested by the ECB (e.g. moratoria leveraged transactions etc,), and support in the area of control activities (e.g. market risk, business model, etc.).

A Quality Assurance Review was also conducted with the support of an external consultant, on which a positive verdict was recorded.

Compliance unit

The Compliance unit presides directly over those regulatory areas considered to present the highest reputational risks (e.g. MiFID II, MiFIR, market abuse, transparency, of banking and financial products and conduct, ESG), and also, by means of a "graduated" model, the areas of regulations covered by other specialist units.

The unit has submitted its institutional and regular reports for the year ended 30 June 2021 to the Committee, along with its action plans for the twelve months ending 30 June 2022, as required under the Bank of Italy's Supervisory Instructions and Consob's Regulations for Intermediaries. In particular it was reported to the Statutory Audit Committee that the Compliance unit's activities for the Private Banking Division were focused, inter alia, on defining the investor protection measures (e.g. questionnaires and additional limits) for the sale of illiquid products and raising awareness among bankers of the need to apply the procedures correctly.

The annual report also contains information on the Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for which no significant issues were noted. The number of complaints received remains low (15), instances of whistle-blowing (2) revealed no major issues, and compliance breaches (4) refer to minor occurrences.

AML unit

Anti-money-laundering activities are managed via a mixed model headed up by the Group AML unit based at Mediobanca S.p.A.

In particular, for the Italian Group companies, governance is assured by a centralized approach, while for the non-Italian companies a decentralized approach is followed, with the unit functioning as co-ordinator. Organizationally it is part of the Compliance & Group AML unit.

With regard to new regulations, following the enactment of AMLD IV, the Group's Policy on money-laundering and terrorist financing risk management has been updated; an AML Manual has been drawn up for the Bank and the international branches, and the new standard questionnaire to be sent to customers for due diligence purposes has been finalized.

Regarding the controls carried out after the fact to ensure that the AML procedures have been complied with, no critical issues were noted.

Training activity has continued via e-learning, and the percentage of completion rate for courses has been adjudged satisfactory.

With reference to the AML risk self-assessment, there were no changes in Mediobanca's exposure to money-laundering and terrorism financing risk which remains at a "Low" level.

Risk Management unit

The Risk Management unit manages and monitors the principal risks to which the Bank is involved with reference to credit risk, financial and market risks and operational risks. This activity revealed no critical issues worth reporting.

During the year under review, the strengthening of the Risk Management unit and processes continued at Group level, with more precise definition of the governance, interactions and information flows between the local and central teams, and the integrated Group processes.

The Committee has examined the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) which quantifies the internal capital, current and future, to be held to cover the risks faced by the Group, and the internal liquidity adequacy assessment process (ILAAP), which assesses the adequacy of the liquidity held by the Bank, both of which were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 27 October 2020, inter alia on the basis of the updated reports received from the Validation and Group Audit units which conclude that the regulatory provisions have been complied with.

The Statutory Audit Committee has reviewed the annual reports by the Validation and Group Audit units on Mediobanca's corporate rating system. Both conclude with an overall positive judgement of the adequacy of Mediobanca's corporate rating system, which has demonstrated that it meets the regulatory requisites set for the IRB approach, including the capability to generate accurate and reasonable estimates.

Business continuity and IT risk

The Bank has prepared the report on IT risk required under the Supervisory Instructions, which showed no significant risks.

The Committee has also examined the various reports received from the Group Risk Management and IT units on the relations with IBM as outsourcer for the IT infrastructure. The Committee has been kept up-to-date regularly on the revision of the agreements with the outsourcer, a process which has been ongoing during the year under review, the intention being to revise governance of the systems, and commence a programme to reinforce the infrastructure, sharing the relevant costs.

With reference to business continuity, the tests planned for the twelve months under review were affected by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, although the majority were run successfully. The pandemic itself continued to be addressed centrally by the Group Business Continuity Management office, both in terms of establishing priorities (delivery of laptops/access to VPN), in which the business continuity criteria (e.g. in terms of critical resources, recovery times, etc.) identified at the business impact analysis stage were applied effectively, and in co-ordinating all Group companies' activities.

Management of the emergency situation nonetheless confirmed the effectiveness of the existing business continuity structure (Crisis committee, critical resources, operating priorities, training, etc.), and enabled some corrective measures to be taken in order to improve.

7. Supervision of the administrative and accounting system and the financial reporting process

The Statutory Audit Committee, in its capacity as the committee responsible for internal control and auditing pursuant to Article 19, paragraph 2, letter C) of Italian Legislative Decree 39/10, has monitored the process and reviewed the effectiveness of the internal controls and risk management systems with reference to the issue of financial reporting, ascertaining compliance with the general principles on financial reporting adopted by the Mediobanca Group pursuant to the Group Disclosure Policy.

Financial reporting is monitored by the Head of Company Financial Reporting, in accordance with the Group Disclosure Policy, adopting Models based on the best market practices (the COSO Report and the CobIT Framework) which provide reasonable assurance over the reliability of the financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of the business operations, and compliance with the provisions of the law and the internal regulations. The processes and controls are revised and updated annually.

The Committee has noted that the document on "Tax Conduct Principles", describing the guidelines and conduct principles for the Group in applying the tax regulations in Italy and the other jurisdictions in which it operates, compiled as part of the Tax Control Framework project, and required in order to adhere to the co-operation regime introduced by the Italian revenue authority. The document was approved by the Board of Directors and has been published on the Bank's website in accordance with the principle of transparency on which the regulations are based.

Work continued in FY 2020-21 on ensuring that the mapping of processes is aligned with the project initiatives undertaken, the new forms of operation commenced and the organizational changes that have taken place in the twelve months.

The increasing complexity and pervasiveness of IT systems, along with technological developments and the increasing use of new forms of technology, has led to an increased focus being by the regulators on ICT risks in recent years. This has involved new regulations and guidelines being published (e.g. the EBA Guidelines on ICT Risk Assessment), and Bank of Italy Circular No. 285 being updated. In this connection, in order to strengthen IT risk management for purposes of financial disclosures, the Head of Company Financial Reporting, in conjunction with the Group IT & Governance unit and the support of leading consultants, has embarked on a project to revise the framework of IT controls at Group level, to check that the framework of controls instituted pursuant to Italian Law 262/05 continues to be appropriate in view of the changes that have occurred in the Bank's business, market benchmarks, and outsourcers.

The changes made have been incorporated into the Head of Company Financial Reporting's Regulations, with additions made in both the methodological and process sections regarding the coverage of IT risk with reference to financial disclosures.

During the twelve months under review, in relation to the ongoing emergency situation due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Head of Company Financial Reporting has continued to monitor aspects of discontinuity compared to the existing model, with reference in particular to the review of new operations and governance of the IT risk associated with the widespread and unforeseen recourse to working from home.

The Committee has met regularly with the Head of Company Financial Reporting and the external auditors, with which it discussed and analysed the activities implemented.

Controls to ensure that the Italian Law 262 Model is functioning correctly are guaranteed by a series of self-assessments made by the individual process owners as supplemented by checks carried out by the Group Audit Unit.

The Statutory Audit Committee has regularly exchanged information with the Head of Company Financial Reporting on the reliability of the administrative and accounting system, for purposes of representing operations, and has reviewed the Head of Company Financial Reporting's report containing the results of the tests of the controls performed and the main issues noted in the application of Italian law 262/05.

The Statutory Audit Committee also reviewed the statements made by the Chief Executive Officer and the Head of Company Financial Reporting as required by the instructions contained in Article 154-bis of the Italian Finance Act.

As far as regards the formation of the individual and consolidated financial statements, these have been prepared, as required by Italian Legislative Decree 38/05, in accordance with the IAS/IFRS issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board), which have been ratified by the European Commission as established by Regulation (EC) 1606/2002, and following the guidance released by the Bank of Italy in its circular no. 262/2005. The Statutory Audit Committee also:

– Duly notes that the Board of Directors, at a meeting held on 24 June 2021, approved the revised Impairment Policy as required by the joint Bank of Italy/Consob/ISVAP document dated 3 March 2010;

  • The Bank has incorporated the changes to its financial statements required by Bank of Italy circular No. 262 regarding disclosure of the effects of Covid-19, to provide a representation of the impact of the pandemic on the capital and earnings situation and risks (in particular with reference to the issue of credit quality) of intermediaries.
  • The Bank has also incorporated the provisions of the ESMA Recommendation of 28 October 2020 containing the shared European enforcement priorities for financial statements prepared by listed companies reflecting the need to provide adequate transparency regarding the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, accounting treatment of the T-LTRO operations, impairment to intangible assets and the effects of applying the changes made to IAS/IFRS and ratified by Regulation (EU) 1606/2002 with reference to the following standards: (i) IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"; (ii) IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets"; (iii) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"; and (iv) IFRS 16 "Leasing". The ESMA Recommendation was also the subject of Consob Reminder No. 1/21 of 16 February 2021, "Covid-19 – support measures to the economy".
  • For legal and tax risks, the Statutory Audit Committee has also ascertained that the financial statements contain the relevant information regarding the main Group legal entities obtained by the Committee itself in the course of its exchanges with the Chairpersons of the equivalent Committees at the other companies. In this connection, the Committee refers readers to the notes and accompanying schedules to the consolidated financial statements on the subject of litigation pending which involves Mediobanca.

The representatives of the External Auditors, in their regular meetings with the Statutory Audit Committee, have not reported any issues which could affect the internal controls system with reference to the administrative and accounting procedures.

The Statutory Audit Committee has ascertained that the flows provided by the non-EU Group companies of significant relevance are adequate, and allow the activity of auditing the annual and interim accounts to be performed as required by Article 15 of the Regulations for Markets.

Based on the foregoing, no evidence has emerged of deficiencies that could affect the assessment of the internal control system's adequacy, the process of financial reporting, and the reliability of the administrative and accounting procedures in representing the Bank's operations.

8. Supervision of External Auditors' activity

In accordance with the provisions of Article 19 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/10, the Statutory Audit Committee, identified therein as the "Committee for internal control and auditing", duly carried out the required activity in terms of monitoring the External Auditor's operations.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) is the company which the shareholders of Mediobanca, at an ordinary annual general meeting held on 27 October 2012, appointed to serve as its external auditors to audit the company's individual and consolidated financial statements until the end of the financial year ending on 30 June 2021. This appointment includes the responsibility for checking that the company's books are kept properly, that operations are recorded correctly in the book entries, reviewing the accounts of the international branches for their inclusion in the consolidated reporting, limited audit of the interim statements, audits relating to signing off tax returns, and the statements to be made to the Italian deposit guarantee fund.

The Statutory Audit Committee met regularly with the External Auditors as appointed inter alia pursuant to Article 150 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act in order to exchange information regarding the latter's activity and in particular to receive knowledge of the audit plan, timescales for activities, and dedicated staff involved. In such meetings the External Auditor has at no stage shown evidence of facts considered to be censurable or other irregularities such as would warrant reporting as required by Article 155, paragraph 2 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act.

In the twelve months under review, the Statutory Audit Committee met with PWC to obtain information on the audit plan for FY 2020-21 and the state of progress in achieving it. PWC updated the Statutory Audit Committee on significant risks, identified, confirming the main ones as credit risk and other types of risks to complex financial instruments and recovering the book value of equity investments, plus assets with undefined useful lives originating from business combinations, plus possible risks of fraud.

On 1 October 2021 the External Auditor, appointed pursuant to Article 14 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/10, issued its reports on the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021. With reference to the opinions and declarations, in its audit report on the financial statements the External Auditors:

  • Issued an opinion from which it emerges that Mediobanca's company's individual and consolidated financial statements present a truthful and proper reflection of the company's and Group's capital and financial situation as at 30 June 2021, their earnings results, changes to their net equity and cash flows during the year under review in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union, and the rulings issued in implementation of Article 9 del Italian Legislative Decree n. 38/05 and Article 43 del Italian Legislative Decree 136/15;
  • Presented the key aspects of the auditing process which according to its own professional judgement, are most significant and contribute to the formation of the overall opinion on the financial statements;
  • Issued their opinion that the Reviews of Operations attached to the individual and consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended 30 June 2021 are consistent with certain specific information contained in the "Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" stipulated in Article 123-bis, paragraph 4 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, responsibility for which lies with the Bank's directors, and have been drawn up in accordance with the legal provisions in force;
  • Declared, with reference to the possibility of there being material errors in the Reviews of Operations, that based on their knowledge and understanding of the company and the scenario in which it operates, obtained as a result of their audit activities, that they had no comment to make in this connection;
  • Reviewed the Directors' approval of the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement.

On 1 October 2021 the External Auditors also submitted the additional report required under Article 11 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 to the Statutory Audit Committee. As an annex to the additional report, the External Auditor also submitted its statement of independence, as required by Article 6 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014, to the Statutory Audit Committee, from which no situations emerged that could compromise its independence. The Committee also duly noted the 2020 report on transparency prepared by the external auditors and published on its own website pursuant to Article 18 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010.

Mediobanca has adopted a Group Directive for engaging external auditors and their network, which includes a reference model based on which a Principal Auditor is engaged, which is also assigned engagements by the other Group companies, and a Secondary Auditor, which is assigned those duties which, for demonstrable reasons such as regulatory requirements or compulsory terms for engagements, cannot be assigned to the Principal Auditor.

The Directive also establishes a specific procedure for engaging the audit firm for the parent company and the Group companies, plus additional engagements under the terms of Article 14 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/10. Such engagements, which under the regulations in force must be authorized by the Statutory Audit Committee, and which – where they are not incompatible with the primary audit engagement – may not exceed 70% of the average of the fees paid in the last three consecutive financial years for the statutory audit(s) of the audited entity (the "Fee Cap"). For such engagements, a process has been instituted which entails prior authorization and monitoring by the Statutory Audit Committee, in order to protect the audit firm's independence, in accordance with the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree 39/10.

As provided by the Directive, the Head of Company Financial Reporting submits a report on the situation regarding the services provided by the Principal Auditor and its network to the Statutory Audit Committee once every six months, along with information on how much of the annual limit set in accordance with the fee cap has been used. The Statutory Audit Committee has performed the duties required of it under the regulations in force in terms of approving the nonauditing services requested of the external auditor and/or the other companies forming part of its network. These services, charged to the profit and loss account and stated in the financial statements as required by Article 149-duodecies of the Regulations for Issuers, were as follows:

Type of service PricewaterhouseCoopers
€'000
PricewaterhouseCoopers network
€'000
Statements 287 221
Other services
Total 287 221

Given the non-audit mandates conferred on PWC and its network by Mediobanca and the Group companies, their nature and the total fees paid, plus the independence procedures adopted by PWC in general, the Statutory Audit Committee does not consider that there are any critical issues arising with respect to the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A.

The Statutory Audit Committee has also received information regarding the non-audit activities for which EY, the Group's external auditors as from the current financial year, has been engaged.

The External Auditors have also confirmed to the Statutory Audit Committee that no external opinions have been expressed by them as required by law in the course of the financial year under review, in the absence of any grounds for such opinions.

9. Omissions, censurable facts, opinions given and initiatives undertaken

The Statutory Audit Committee has received reports under Article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code from two shareholders. The reports regarded the failure to respond to certain questions tabled prior to the Annual General Meeting and to the securities financing transaction by Mediobanca involving Assicurazioni Generali shares executed on 23 September 2021. The Committee duly reviewed the reports, made the enquiries and investigations considered to be necessary, and obtained information from the relevant units of the Bank. Based on the enquiries made, the Committee felt there was no need to follow up any further on the reports received.

The Statutory Audit Committee is not aware of any facts or complaints to be reported on to shareholders in general meeting.

The Statutory Audit Committee issued opinions or made observations as required by the regulations in force, in particular as follows:

  • Favourable opinion on the changes to the Procedure in respect of transactions with related parties referred to under section 5 above;
  • The opinion required by Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 2013 as amended regarding the covered bond issuance programme pursuant to Article 7-bis of Italian Law 130/99;

  • Favourable opinion on the formal approval by the Board of Directors on meeting the requisites to use the internal risk measurement systems;
  • Considerations on the annual report on outsourcing important corporate functions.

In the course of the Committee's activities and based on the information obtained, no omissions, censurable facts, irregularities or other significant circumstances such as would require the supervisory authorities to be notified or as would warrant inclusion in this report have come to its attention.

10. Consolidated Non-Financial Statement

The Statutory Audit Committee, in the exercise of its functions, has monitored compliance with the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree 254/16 and the Consob regulation implementing the said decree adopted under resolution no. 20267 of 18 January 2018, in particular with reference to the process of drawing up, and the contents of, the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement (CNFS) published by Mediobanca.

The CNFS was approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 23 September 2021 as a document separate from the consolidated Review of Operations for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The CNFS for FY 2020-21 also contains a section devoted to the state of progress made in reaching the ESG targets contained in the Strategic Plan in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, a first self-assessment regarding the recommendations made by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and certain standards developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), where applicable. The Bank has provided the disclosure by standard GRI 207, and the Country-by-Country Reporting data for the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

The external auditors retained to perform the limited assurance with reference to the CNFS as required by Article 3, paragraph 10 of Italian Legislative Decree 254/16, in its report issued on 1 October 2021, state that no evidence has reached its attention such as to suggest that the CNFS prepared by

the Mediobanca Group for the year ended 30 June 2021, has not been prepared in all significant aspects, as required by Articles 3 and 4 of Italian Legislative Decree 254/16 and the "Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards".

The Statutory Audit Committee is not aware of any breaches of the regulatory provisions.

11. Engagement of external audit firm for the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2030

The engagement of PWC as external auditors of Mediobanca as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 October 2012 expires with approval of the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2021, after reaching its ninth year which is the maximum period permitted by law.

Readers will recall that the shareholders of Mediobanca, at the Annual General Meeting held on 28 October 2020, engaged EY S.p.A. to audit the Bank's financial statements for the nine-year period from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2030.

For further details reference is made to the "Report by the Statutory Audit Committee in its capacity as committee for internal control and audit under Italian Legislative Decree 39/10, Article 19 (2) letter c) on engagement of the auditor for the period from 30 June 2022 to 30 June 2030" available on the Bank's website.

12. Supervisory body

The Statutory Audit Committee, having been vested with the duties of the supervisory body to be instituted in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, paragraph 4-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 231/01 on corporate administrative liability, has obtained and reviewed information on the organizational and procedural activities implemented by the Bank in pursuance of the foregoing legislative decree.

At a Board meeting held on 26 November 2020, the Directors of Mediobanca approved the changes to the Organizational Model introduced pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01 (the "Model"). These changes are the result of the

regular activities of updating and reassessing the Model, taking the opportunity to incorporate any new predicate crimes introduced by the regulator, with reference in particular to the new "tax crimes" family, to take into consideration external factors, such as the Covid-19 emergency, and to align the Model to the various organizational changes that have taken place since its previous approval by the Board of Directors, on 31 July 2018.

The supervisory body reported on the activities performed by it during the year ended 30 June 2021, raising no particular issued, describing a situation held to be satisfactory overall and basically in line with the provisions of the organizational, management and control model in force.

13. Conclusions

The agenda for the ordinary and extraordinary Annual General Meeting of Mediobanca shareholders to take place on 28 October 2021 includes the following items:

Ordinary business

  • Approval of financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021;
  • Authorization to buy and sell treasury shares;
  • Report on remuneration and compensation paid, FY 2021-22; Policy in the event of the beneficiary leaving office or the employment arrangement being terminated; 2022 Incentivization system based on financial instruments (the "2022 performance share scheme"): partial withdrawal of the 2021-25 incentivization scheme, and approval of new one-year scheme;
  • Insurance policy covering civil liability for members of the Group legal entities' governing bodies.

Extraordinary business

  • Cancellation of treasury shares with no reduction of share capital; Article 4 of the company's Articles of Association to be amended accordingly;
  • Withdrawal of the existing authorization to the Board of Directors, under a resolution adopted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 28 October 2020, to increase the company's share capital free of charge through the issue of no more than 20 million ordinary shares to be reserved to Mediobanca Group employees in execution of the performance share schemes in force at the time. Article 4 of the company's Articles of Association to be amended accordingly.

In this connection, the Statutory Audit Committee also duly noted the request pursuant to Article 126-bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58/98 received on 28 September 2021 from shareholder Delfin for a further item to be added to the agenda as extraordinary business: "Amendments to Article 15, paragraphs 4, 9, and 15, to Article 18, paragraph 4, and to Article 23, paragraph 3, of the Articles of Association; related and subsequent resolutions". The Bank has issued a press release regarding this request on the date it was received. The Board of Directors has been convened to adopt the relevant resolutions.

Without prejudice to the specific duties and responsibilities assigned to the External Auditors in terms of auditing the Group's accounts and appraising the reliability of its financial statements, the Statutory Audit Committee has no observations to make to shareholders in general meeting, pursuant to Article 153 of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act, regarding approval of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 and the Review of Operations as presented by the Board of Directors, and the proposed profit allocation.

SECTION 1

Statement of conformity with IAS/IFRS

The Mediobanca individual financial statements for the twelve months ended 30 June 2021 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 consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2021 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, as amended), which define the structure to be used in compiling and preparing the financial statements and the contents of the notes to the accounts1 .

SECTION 2

General principles

These consolidated financial statements comprise:

  • Balance sheet;
  • Profit and loss account;
  • Comprehensive income statement;
  • Statement of changes to net equity;
  • Cash flow statement;
  • Notes to the accounts.

1 The Bank of Italy, in a communication issued on 15 December 2020, "Additions to the provisions of Circular no. 262, Financial statements for banks: models and rules for compilation regarding the impacts of Covid-19 and the measures introduced to support the economy and amendments made to IAS/IFRS", provided additions to the regulations governing financial reporting by banks (Circular no. 262 of 2005) with a view to providing the market with disclosure regarding the effects which Covid-19 and the measures introduced to support the economy have produced on strategies, objectives and risk management policies and on the earnings/financial situations of intermediaries in general.

These financial statements have been drawn up using the Euro as the currency of account. The amounts stated in the financial statements are in Euro units, while the data in the tables included in the Notes to the Accounts are shown in thousands of Euros, unless stated otherwise. The individual financial statements have been drawn up with the intention of providing clarity and a truthful and accurate representation of the capital and financial situation and earnings results of Mediobanca S.p.A.

The financial statements have been drawn up in compliance with the following general principles:

  • Business continuity;
  • Accrual;
  • Consistency of presentation;
  • Substance over form.

The financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the general principles provided for under IAS/IFRSand the accounting policies illustrated in part A.2, and show data for the year under review compared with the data for the previous financial year.

During the twelve months under review, the European Commission has approved the following regulations, which include certain changes to accounting standards already in force: Regulation (EU) 2020/1434 of 9 October 2020, Regulation (EU) 2020/2097 of 15 December 2020, Regulation (EU) 2021/25 of 13 January 2021, and Regulation (EU) 2021/1080 of 28 June 2021:

  • Regulation (EU) 2020/1434 adopts the amendments to IFRS16 proposed by the IASB2 in relation to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic: in particular, it provides for a practical expedient granted to lessees that have benefited from concessions on payments due contractually; the regulation is effective retrospectively as from 1 July 20203 ;
  • Regulation (EU) 2020/2097 provides for an extension to the exemption from applying IFRS9 granted to insurance companies, allowing them to continue applying IAS39 until 2023. For the Mediobanca Group the Regulation is valid as from 1 July 2021;
  • Regulation (EU) 2021/25 provides for the amendments to IAS39, IFRS4, IFRS7, IFRS9 and IFRS16 reflected in the document entitled "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 - Amendments to IFRS9, IAS39, IFRS7,

2 International Accounting Standards Board, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions – Amendment to IFRS16 – May 2020.

3 After the financial statement reference date, the EU Commission, with the Regulation 2021/1421 of 30 August 2021, has endorsed the modifications to the IFRS16 standard proposed by the IASB in the document entitled "Amendments to IFRS16 Leases: Covid-19-Related Rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021" published 31 March 2021. With this Regulation amendments to the standard have been extended to payments contractually due up to 30 June 2022 included.

IFRS4 and IFRS16" published by the IASB on 27 August 20204 . This Regulation too is valid for the Group as from 1 July 2021;

– Regulation (EU) 2021/1080 introduced some minor amendments to IAS16, IAS37, IAS41, IFRS1, IFRS3 and IFRS9. These amendments are valid for the Group starting from 1 July 2022.

The measures and statements published by the regulatory and supervisory authorities regarding the most suitable means for applying the reporting standards in relation to the Covid-19 situation in the twelve months are summarized below. In particular, the following were issued (in addition to those described in the annual report for the twelve months ended 30 June 2020):

  • ESMA: Public Statement of 28 October 2020, "European common enforcement priorities for 2020 annual financial reports", which highlights the attention which ESMA is devoting to: enforcement of IAS1, IAS36, IFRS9, IFRS7 and IFRS16; non-financial statements with reference to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on non-financial matters; social and employee matters; business model and value creation; and risk relating to climate change. Considerations are also provided on application of the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) in relation to Covid-19.
  • EBA: Guidelines of 2 December 2020 (EBA/GL/2020/15): "Guidelines amending Guidelines EBA/GL/2020/02 on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the COVID 19 crisis", extending the application period for the regulations governing EBA-compliant moratoria.
  • ECB: Letter from the Chair of the Supervisory Board to all Significant Institutions of 4 December 2020 "Identification and measurement of credit risk in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic", providing additional guidance on credit risk identification and measurement in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The ECB underlined the importance of striking the right balance between avoiding excessive pro-cyclicality and ensuring that the risks banks are facing are adequately reflected in their internal risk measurement and management processes, financial statements and regulatory reporting. Detailed guidance is given regarding the procedures for identifying and classifying forbearance, the process for assessing the unlikeliness of obligors to pay (including borrowers subject to general payment moratoria), identifying and recording any significant increase in credit risk at an early stage, correctly estimating provisioning levels using realistic parameters and assumptions that are appropriate to the current environment, and governance and the involvement of management bodies.

4 This document takes account of the effects of transitioning from benchmark interest rates to alternative benchmark interest rates in order to determine existing rates with such alternative benchmarks; the transition is made in accordance with the provisions of Reforming major interest rate benchmarks published in 2014 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB).

Recommendation ECB/2021/31 of 23 July 2021, on dividend distributions during the Covid-19 pandemic, which recommends extreme prudence when credit institutions decide on or pay out dividends or perform share buybacks aimed at remunerating shareholders.

– Consob: Reminder no. 1/21 of 16 February 2021 on the disclosure to be provided by regulated issuers. Consob, taking up the issues raised by ESMA in its document of 28 October 2020, clarifies in this reminder that the disclosure must also be provided in the review of operations, highlighting in particular the description of changes to the business model made in response to the pandemic, and the action taken to address the uncertainty arising, short-term and medium-term, as a result of Covid-19.

Group project on interbank benchmark rates

The internal working group set up to deal this issue has continued its work of monitoring and drawing up all the operational processes required to complete the transition to the new interbank benchmark rates by the start of 2022. Work has continued on renegotiating contracts for index-linked products soon to be discontinued, adhering where possible to the protocols developed by the sector category associations (e.g. the ISDA Benchmark & IBOR Protocol), and urging the Group's counterparties to do likewise without delay.

The Group is adopting all measures in terms of internal regulations, operational procedures and technology to ensure the transition is managed effectively.

Commission Regulation 25/2021 of 13 January 2021 introduced some further amendments to the accounting standards used (notably IAS39, IFRS4, IFRS7, IFRS9 and IFRS16). In particular, the management and accounting representation of "derecognition/modification" and "discontinuing" for hedge accounting have been simplified. These amendments will be mandatorily applicable for the Group as from the financial statements for the year ending 30 June 2022.

The Group has already applied Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/34 of 15 January 2020 ("Regulation 34"), which incorporates the IASB exemptions of September 2019 to prevent uncertainty due to the lack of a single alternative parameter for the whole market, could lead to hedging arrangements being discontinued. The trades specifically affected are 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 USD1,975m.

Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations - T-LTRO

T-LTRO III is a programme of ten long-term refinancing operations, each of which expiring after three years, implemented once a quarter starting from September 2019.

In the course of 2020 some of the parameters of the existing operations were amended: in particular, an additional discount was introduced (in the form of a fixed 50 bps annual premium) for operations outstanding between 24 June 2020 and 23 June 2021 (known as the "special interest period").

The premium, together with the ordinary interest rate, will be paid when each operation expires or is redeemed early, subject to certain eligibility criteria set annually being met in terms of maintaining lending levels versus households and businesses.

The operations incorporate certain distinctive features which make it difficult to account for them under a specific financial reporting standard, as recognized by ESMA in its public statement on 6 January 2021, "ESMA promotes transparency regarding the accounting for the third series of the ECB's Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO III)".

Given the above, in accordance with the provisions of IAS8 on accounting policies, it has been decided to account for these operations as part of the scope of financial instruments covered by IFRS9 (Financial Instruments). Based on this policy, and assuming that the eligibility criteria are likely to be met (the criteria are monitored on a monthly basis and at present are met comfortably), the floating interest rate has been recalculated to factor in the effect of the additional discount, which has been booked pro rata throughout the special interest period.

If the probability of reaching the benchmark levels for eligible loans were to reduce, this would lead to a change in the cash flows from the interest expected (i.e. the premium would be cancelled), which obviously would have an impact on earnings.

During the twelve months, the above-mentioned 50bps benefit has been entirely recognized and booked, equal to ca. €26m, given that targets linked to new loans granting will be surely met.

SECTION 3

Events subsequent to the reporting date

No events have taken place that would cause the results presented in the individual report for the twelve months ended 30 June 2021 to be amended.

On 23 September 2021, Mediobanca executed a securities lending transaction with a leading market counterparty in respect of a total of 70 million Assicurazioni Generali shares, equal to 4.4% of the company's share capital. The deal, which will have a duration of approx. eight months or until at least the Annual General Meeting of Assicurazioni Generali called to reappoint the company's Board of Directors, will result in an increase in Mediobanca's voting rights without thereby increasing the Group's current risk exposure towards Assicurazioni Generali.

SECTION 4

Other aspects

The consolidated and separate financial statements have been audited by audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree 39/10, in implementation of the resolution adopted by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 27 October 2012 for the years from 2013 to 2021.

A.2 - Significant accounting policies

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 value5 .

Financial assets held for trading are assets which have been acquired 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 (which are recorded separately).

5 See Part A – Information on fair value on pp. 116-133.

Other financial assets that must be recognized at fair value are assets that are not held for trading but must compulsorily be recognized at fair value through profit and loss if they do not meet the requisites to be recognized at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. In particular this category includes holdings in mutual funds (confirmed following clarification from the IFRS Interpretation Committee)6 .

Initial recognition occurs at the settlement date for securities, and at the subscription date for derivatives. At initial recognition, such financial assets are booked 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 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 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 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.

6 The IFRSInterpretation Committee's clarification rules out any possibility of such instruments being treated as equities.

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 held 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 instruments themselves;
  • The contractual terms 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 IAS32, and which the Bank 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.

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 IAS16 (cf. below), even though the impairment rules introduced by IFRS9 apply for valuation purposes.

The Bank 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 Bank 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 instruments7 .

At initial recognition, the Bank analyses contractual cash flows for the instruments to check whether the instrument, product or sub-product passes the SPPI test. In this connection, the Bank 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

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.

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 Bank 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.

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 IFRS9, the impairment model involves financial assets being classified at one of three different risk stages (Stage1, Stage2 and Stage3), depending on developments in the borrower's credit standing, to which different criteria for measuring expected losses apply. Accordingly, financial assets are split into the following categories:

  • Stage1: 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;
  • Stage2: 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 Stage1 to Stage2, the expected loss must be calculated for the outstanding life of the instrument;
  • Stage3: this category consists of impaired exposures according to the definition provided in the regulations. In moving to Stage3, 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 forwardlooking perspective which takes account of alternative recovery scenarios and developments in the economic cycle.

The Bank 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 Bank has 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 Bank only makes very limited use of the simplified low credit risk exemption approach.

Purchased or originated credit impaired items (POCIs) are receivables that 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 recovery flows are periodically updated in light of new evidence, with flows discounted using the above-mentioned internal rate of return.

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 exposures.

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 Bank records an expected loss for the outstanding life of the instrument (similar to Stage2 above); while value adjustments are calculated for all the exposures split into different categories, factoring in forward-looking information which reflects macro-economic factors.

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 the circumstances permitted under IFRS9. In such cases the Bank 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 Bank retains virtually all risks and benefits, the financial asset must continue to be recorded.

If the Bank 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 Bank 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 end-investor.

When a financial asset recognized at amortized cost is renegotiated, the Bank 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 Stage1 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 Bank 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).

For all other assets, derecognition is carried out in accordance with the reference International Financial Reporting standards.

Leasing (IFRS16)

An agreement is classified as a leasing contract9 (or contains a leasing element) based on the substance of the agreement at the execution date. An agreement is, or 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.

9 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 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.

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 discounted, as required by the Standard, to the marginal financing rate, equal for the Bank 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 in respect of the original lease is matched by an amount receivable from the sub-lessee rather than the value in use.

Hedges

For hedging transactions, the Bank has adopted the provisions of IFRS9 since 1 July 2018 and has chosen not to avail itself of the exemption provided to continue applying the rules of IAS39 to this type of operation.

Two types of hedge are used by the Bank:

  • 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 Bank.

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.
  • In the case of foreign exchange foreign, the hedging instrument may be a foreign currency asset or liability.

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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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; an
  • 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 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;
  • 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.

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 Bank's main activities and/or are chiefly leased out to third parties.

The heading also includes tangible assets classified pursuant to IAS2 - 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 straightline 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 Bank 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 IFRS3R.

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 impairment10. Any reduction value due to 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

10 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; discussion paper no. 01/2021 issued by the OIV on 16 March 2021 on "The use of forward-looking financial information in company valuations"; discussion paper no. 02/2021 issued by the OIV on 16 March 2021 on "Guidelines for impairment testing following the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, along with the suggestions published by ESMA; the guidelines contained in the joint document issued by the Bank of Italy, Consob and IVASS (document no. 4 of 3 March 2010, and document no. 8 of 12 December 2018); plus the various communications from Consob.

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 estimated11. 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.

Provisions for liabilities and charges

These regard risks linked to commitments to disburse funds and guarantees issued, and to the Bank'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 IAS37 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.

11 Under IAS36, 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").

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

As permitted by IAS37, paragraph 92, no precise indication has been given of any potential liabilities where this could compromise the company in any way.

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 IFRS16, but which are also affected by the IFRS9 impairment rules. For a description of the rules for valuing and classifying leasing receivables, see the relevant section.

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.

For all other liabilities, derecognition is carried out in accordance with the reference International Financial Reporting standards.

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 IFRS9 and in accordance with the cases permitted under the regulation itself.

Staff severance indemnity provision and post-retirement schemes

The staff severance indemnity provision qualifies as a defined-contribution 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-byline 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 Bank'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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank considers it is entitled in return for the service rendered.

In order to record the revenues, the Bank 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 Bank 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 IFRS15, the Bank 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 IFRS15 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 IAS24, as follows:

  • a) Individuals or entities which, directly or indirectly, exercise significant influence over the Bank;
  • b) Shareholders with stakes of 3% or more in the Bank's share capital12;
  • c) The legal entities controlled by the Bank;
  • d) Associate companies, joint ventures and entities controlled by them;
  • e) Management with strategic responsibilities, that is, individuals with powers and responsibilities, directly or indirectly, for the planning, direction and control of the Parent Company's activities, including the members of the Board of Directors and Statutory Audit Committee;
  • f) Entities controlled or jointly controlled by one or more of the individuals listed under the foregoing letters a) and e) and the joint ventures of parties referred to under letter a);
  • g) Close family members of the individuals referred to in letters a) and e) above, that is, individuals who may be expected to influence them or be influenced by them in their relations with Mediobanca (this category includes children, spouses and their children, partners and their children, dependents, spouses' dependents and their partners' dependents) as well as any entities controlled, jointly controlled or otherwise associated with such individuals.

12 Excluding market-makers and asset managers, Italian and international, which, in the exercise of their collective fund management activity, undertake not to take an active part in the management of the companies in which they are investing.

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Introduction

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 in the principal market at the measurement date.

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 Bank has access; such instruments are 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 (i.e. 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;
  • Derivative 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 Bank uses remain objective, independent price verification (IPV) processes are also carried out for fair value, 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.

Macroeconomic scenario

The year under review saw markets bounce back sharply starting from November 2020, as a result of the gradual rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination programme plus the substantial liquidity injected into the market. This generated a reduction in the uncertainty of the input parameters, with the situation gradually returning to pre-Covid market conditions.

Remediation activities

The fair value framework has been subject of an On Site Inspection performed by the ECB and involving all major European market participants. During this inspection some improvement areas have been identified, regarding the fair value hierarchy and the day one profit rule application, as well as regarding the ways in which the fair value is calculated and verified (Fair Value Adjustment and Independent Price Verification) for capital purposes (Prudent Value Adjustment) and accounting calculations.

The Bank has decided, while waiting the Recommendation Letter by the JST, to promptly intervene to improve the fair value framework pursuant to IFRS 13 thus addressing the major part of findings emerged, avoiding as much

as possible all the intervention based on expert-based approaches; further activities will be performed during the FY 2022, including the remediation plan which will be communicated by the ECB.

IPV and Prudent Valuation (PVA) processes

The Independent Price Verification (IPV) process for financial instruments involves defining the control, escalation and reporting methodologies used to verify the valuations of positions measured and recognized at fair value, both instruments held on own account and as collateral.

As required by Bank of Italy Circular no. 285/2013, the Bank has adopted its own Group Independent Price Verification Policy in order to structure the certification process from an operating and accounting standpoint.

The same process also includes the Regulatory Technical Standards on Prudent Valuation13 governed by the EU regulations14 in this area, to ensure that positions recognized at fair value (banking book with impact on net equity and trading book) are determined with an adequate degree of certainty.

In particular, the inputs required in order to value financial instruments must be validated by independent units, with the objective of ensuring that valuations are as closely aligned as possible with market conditions and the prudential criteria established.15

To this end, the Bank has produced a manual summarizing all products recognized at fair value, containing a description of the valuation techniques used and the inputs required in order to calculate the Prudent Value Adjustments (PVA).

The entire IPV and prudent valuation processes is subject to audit by the Group Audit Unit.

Coverage of the entire trading book and the inputs used to value it was more or less completed during the twelve months under review.

13 Assesment for prudential purposes implies a stress on certain market parameters used in the valuation models and the related fair value adjustments with effects exclusively on regulatory capital and the capital ratios.

14 Under Article 105 of the Capital Requirements Regulation adopted in Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 and referred to in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2016/101.

15 CRR Article 105 (2), (8).

This has enabled the Bank to increase the number of IPV controls to correct the original valuations, necessary as a result inter alia of mismarking of volatility, correlation and dividends by using alternative info-providers.

Fair value ranking

In line with the provisions of IFRS 13 as enacted in Bank of Italy circular no. 262, fair value must be reported according to rankings based on the quality of the input parameters used to determine it.16

In particular, financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value must be classified at levels which assign decreasing priority to measurements based on different market parameters. The highest priority (level 1) is assigned to measurements based on unadjusted prices quoted 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.

Three levels are identified:

  • Level 1: valuations based on quoted prices (single and unadjusted) in active markets for the individual financial instrument being measured.
  • Level 2: valuations based on measurement techniques using inputs 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, is commonly used by other financial operators, and uses inputs that are observable on the market or estimated internally but have limited impact on fair value.
  • Level 3: valuations based on measurement techniques with significant inputs which are either unobservable on the market and/or reflect complex pricing models subject to uncertainty. In this case fair value is established on the basis of assumptions regarding future cash flows, which could lead to different estimates by different observers of the value of the same financial instrument.

16 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.

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 73).

Fair value adjustment

Fair value adjustment is defined as the quantity to be added to, or subtracted, from 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 practice, during the year under review the alignment of all fair value adjustments with the prudential categories defined in Article 105 of the CRR ("Prudent Valuation") was largely completed. This process resulted in further adjustments being introduced.

The new scope of fair value adjustments thus now includes the following in particular:

  • Close-Out Costs: these refer to the uncertainty related to the liquidity cost that the Bank might incur in the event of the disposal, partial or total, of a position recognized at fair value;
  • Investing and Funding Costs: these reflect the costs of financing or refinancing a position recognized at fair value;
  • Market Price Uncertainty: this represents the uncertainty inherent in a valuation based on market prices;
  • Concentrated Positions: this reflects uncertainty in the valuation of the exit price for positions defined as concentrated;
  • Model Risk: adjustments to mitigate the risk of misalignment with market practice in the valuation of a product regarding the choice and implementation of the relevant pricing model.

Fair value adjustments are fundamental in order to align the individual financial instrument's valuation with its actual exit price, in view of the level of market liquidity, the uncertainty of the valuation parameters, the cost of funding.

As mentioned previously, the process of aligning the accounting reserves with the prudent valuation reserves has been largely completed during the twelve months under review, including:

  • Introduction of a Close-Out Cost adjustment17 in order to align the fair value with the exit price;
  • Introduction of a Model Risk correction for auto-callable certificates, to mitigate any mispricing phenomena;
  • Revision of the Market Price Uncertainty adjustments, extending the use of control info-providers to include new categories of market parameters that have become material.

Credit/Debt and Funding Valuation Adjustment (CVA/DVA/FCA)

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

  • CVA is a negative quantity which takes account of 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 account of 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;

17 As required by IFRS 13, the adjustment is calculated, for each risk factor considered, as the semi-bid/ask for the market data, multiplied by the exposure to the instrument to which the data refer.

– 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. To take account of this aspect, some adjustments are calculated to reflect the different cost of funding (Funding Value Adjustments), 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 2 and 3: measurement techniques and inputs used

As a rule the Bank uses market prices (level 1) or models based on observable inputs (level 2).

However, all instruments whose 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, are classified as Level 3.18

All level 3 instruments are subject to additional price verification procedures, which include: 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 Independent Price Verification unit runs independent checks of the parameters used, comparing them with similar inputs from different sources.

18 Cf. IFRS 13, paragraphs 73 and 75. Reference is made to section A.5 for further discussion of this issue.

Inputs for determining fair value level

The Bank has refined its fair value level classification processes over the years, which are increasingly focused, in the absence of quoted prices on active markets, on analysis of the parameters underlying the instruments.

A description of the main inputs used to determine the fair value level is provided below:

  • Prices: instruments traded on a regulated market or for which prices for bilateral exchanges are available, are valued using prices obtained from info-providers;
  • Interest rates/inflation swap rates: these are inputs used to value derivative instruments that involve the exchange of flows between two counterparties. The interest rate is the market's expectation regarding future trends in the interest rate, and is quoted for different maturities. The inflation swap rate, meanwhile, is the market's expectation regarding the future trend in inflation. The illiquidity of these inputs has a direct impact on the valuation of a debt instrument or a derivative;
  • Repo rates: these are the interest rates applied in repo transactions;
  • Volatility: volatility is a measurement of the expectations regarding the degree to which market prices may change relative to certain benchmarks. These may be quoted directly or taken from the prices for listed instruments. Volatilities may refer to different types of underlying instrument (shares/ indexes, interest rates: cap/floor or swaptions, exchange rates, inflation);
  • Correlation: this is a measurement of the relationship between movements in two variables, and is used as an input in the valuation of a derivative product whose payoff is determined by multiple risk factors/underlying instruments;
  • Dividends: the dividend yields on equity instruments are an estimate of the possible returns that such instruments will offer in the future in terms of cash flows. The yield itself and the frequency with which dividends are paid is the most significant indicator for determining the fair value of instruments that are sensitive to the forward price of a share;

– Credit spreads: these are an estimate of a counterparty's insolvency risk, and are quoted relative to a benchmark. Credit spreads refer to a wide variety of underlying instruments (indexes and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and investment-grade). The broad spectrum covered by this category is the reason why the range of unobservable inputs is so extensive.

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 derivatives19 (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 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 to address the valuation uncertainty inherent in the use of alternative valuation techniques other than the use of market prices (mark to market);

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

  • 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 (e.g. 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 (equity index or single-name baskets), including the issuer credit risk which is thus factored into the total calculation of the fair value. If the IPV process reveals a high degree of uncertainty in the inputs used, these issues are classified as level (such uncertainty usually involves correlation,20 volatility or future dividends).

All instruments classified as level 2 must in any case reflect a majority of observable inputs used in the calculation of fair value.

The observability of an input parameter depends not only on the type of product, but also on the adequacy of the parameters used. Thus the relevant issues become the availability of quotes and the expiry.

20 For example, in cases which involve issues of certificates with auto-callable derivatives of equity baskets as the underlying instruments. These reflect a degree of uncertainty in terms of the correlation between the equity basket constituents with an impact on the instrument's fair value which is considered to be material.

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 can be used to address the valuation uncertainty inherent in the use of alternative valuation techniques other than the use of market prices (mark to market);
  • 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 (i.e. which did not pass the IFRS 9 SPPI test – 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 provide the net asset value (NAV) per stock unit (the most recent NAV available is used, no older than six months, adjusted for any payments, investments and distributions after the NAV reference date). 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 (daily NAV); 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);
    • Certificates issues, which reflect a degree of uncertainty in the parameters which can affect the entire fair value of the instrument, as, for example, in the case of the correlation between the constituents of the basket of equities underlying the basket's auto-callable options;21
    • 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, for which no market prices from which to infer the correlation data used in the valuation are available.

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 recognized at 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 or on net equity. 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.

21 In this connection, application of the new rules to establish whether an instrument is level 3, and the related day 1 profit deferral, have been in force since January 2021.

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.

A.4.2 Measurement processes and sensibilities

As required by IFRS 13, quantitative information on the significant nonobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of level 3 instruments is provided below.

Uncertainties inherent in inputs and impact on mark-to-market for equity products

During the year under review, the volatility and equity correlation monitoring process was improved, to take into account the changes in market conditions and the increase in operations in equity auto-callable equity instruments.22

22 Revision of the control process led to a new adjustment calculation methodology being defined which has been applied since December 2020.

To this end new dynamic tolerance thresholds were introduced, to ensure that an increase in the intrinsic uncertainty of market prices is matched by a higher tolerance threshold; checks on the volatility of equities have been stepped up from monthly to daily, while those on equity correlations have been increased from monthly to fortnightly.

1

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 non-observable 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. Equityequity 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 non-observable data have in the inputs compared to observable data.

A.4.4 Other information

The Bank 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.

The Bank's trading book reflects a low level of complexity and a low number of structured transactions, all of which fall within the categories described above. As at 30 June 2021, only 5.4% of the total assets and 7.5% of the total liabilities consist of trading instruments classified at fair value levels 2 and 3. Of these, the majority at present is classified as level 2 (3.9% of total assets and 5.8% of total liabilities respectively). The majority of these positions are also netted for the same factor between assets and liabilities, hence they do not entail a volatility factor for the profit and loss account.

The Level 3 instruments held for trading include options traded, i.e. contracts involving the same underlying instrument and uncertain risk parameter, totalled €992.9m (30/6/20: €408.8m). Net of these items, the Level 3 assets decreased from €145.2m to €103.9m, after new entries which were low this year (at €19.3m), and much lower than the outflows (€81.7m, €31.1m of which involve reclassifications of derivatives contracts to other levels, for which the uncertainty over volatility and the underlying dividends has reduced drastically). Upward movements in fair value totalled €21.1m.

Conversely, level 3 liabilities increased from €121.8m to €189.2m, already net of options traded), as a result of new positions (€123.3m) which chiefly regard auto-callable certificates on baskets of equities, and net outflows of €45.1m, due to the reduction in the degree of uncertainty in the valuation inputs (volatility and dividends) of certain certificates. The other changes involved redemptions (€8.8m) and downward adjustments to fair value (€2m).

Financial assets mandatorily recognized at fair value, following the repayment of the Burgo and Sorgenia convertible issues, totalled €395.1m, and chiefly involve investments in funds (including seed capital).

Financial assets recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income (consisting of interests in unlisted companies valued based on internal models) rose from €185.7m to €257.6m, principally as a result of the valuation of the Burgo equity instrument.

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

IFRS 9 stipulates that the positive difference between the fair value of an instrument and the price at which it is traded at the transaction date (known as the "day one profit") can only be represented among the income items of the profit and loss account if it is based on market prices and on models that are not based on uncertain market parameters. Rather, the fair value must be adjusted by the day one profit, which is only released to profit and loss as and when the parameter becomes certain.23 If the difference 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

23 IFRS 9, paragraphs B5.1.2A and B5.2.2A.

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at the initial recognition date is usually the price of the transaction (i.e. the fair value of the consideration paid or received; cf. also IFRS 13). If the entity establishes that the fair value at the initial recognition date differs from the price of the transaction indicated in paragraph 5.1.1 A, it must account for the instrument at that date by the following method:

a. According to the valuation method described in paragraph 5.1.1, if the fair value is provided by a price quoted on an active market or an identical liability (level 1), or it is based on a measurement technique using only data derived from observable markets. The entity must record the difference between the fair value at the initial recognition date and the price of the trade as either a profit or loss as the case may be;

b. In all other cases, according to the valuation method described in paragraph 5.1.1, adjusted for the difference between the fair value at the initial recognition date and the price of the transaction. Following the initial measurement, the entity must recognize the deferred change as a profit or loss only to the degree to which it emerges from a change in a factor (including time) that the market operators would take into consideration in establishing the price of the asset or liability.

exposed (interest rate/exchange rate risk, etc.) and recorded directly in the profit and loss account.

In accordance with established market practice, the day one profit regulations are only applied to financial instruments classified as level 3. In cases which involve new types of structured deal, the Bank conducts its analysis on a case-by-case basis, establishing the fair value ranking and whether or not the deal falls within the scope of application of the day one profit regulations when it is approved. At this stage, a financial instrument is classified as level 3 if the uncertain parameter's impact on fair value is considered to be material as defined in IFRS 13, paragraph 73.24

In the past the day one profit has been suspended for the surplus generated on an arbitrage trade (executed in FY 2016-17) between the acquisition of a financial instrument convertible into listed equities (starting from year 5) and the sale of the corresponding listed equities. The €10m surplus has been released gradually to profit and loss pro rata throughout the duration of the transaction, and now stands at approx. €0.7m (the amount taken to profit and loss in the twelve months was €2m).

The suspension approach is also applied to the profit deriving from trades in derivatives 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 approx. €0.5m.

Finally, as from 1 January 2021, the validation model for certificates has been completed, resulting in the auto-callable options with equity baskets as the underlying instrument being classified as level 3. The upfront effects to profit and loss have been suspended, in line with the Bank's regulations.

24 In some cases, the data used to establish the fair value of an asset or liability could be classified in different fair value hierarchy levels. In such cases, the valuation is classified entirely in the same level as the input with the lowest hierarchical ranking used in the valuation itself. Assessment of the materiality of a given input to the valuation as a whole requires judgement that takes account of the asset's or liability's individual characteristics. The adjustments made to arrive at valuations based on fair value, such as sale costs in cases where fair value is calculated after sales costs have been deducted, must not be taken into consideration in determining the fair value hierarchy level in which a valuation is classified.

The instruments classified as level 3 reflect a fair value of approx. €80m, with day one profit suspended as to €1.2m.25

The Bank also has deals classified as Level 3 for which the initial profit has not had to be suspended, as they were originally negotiated with other market counterparties without generating any material upfront difference, or because, as at the trading date, they had an outstanding duration which expired before the end of the financial year, hence there was no need for their effects to be deferred over time across several reporting periods.

25 It is worth noting that early application of this model as from 1 July 2020 would have resulted in less than €500,000 in additional suspensions.

7.3 Significant investments: accounting data*

* **

All figures are in euros, including those for the non-Italian subsidiaries.

Refers to interim results; total income as stated in financial statements.

The following significant developments took place during the twelve months under review:

  • − Capital increase implemented by CheBanca! (subscribed for in full) in an amount of €280m, necessary in order to improve the company's individual leverage ratio;
  • − Capital increase implemented by Cairn Capital Group (£22.8m subscribed for, against a capital increase totalling £26.5m) in relation to the Revenue Sharing Agreement entered into in connection with the Bybrook acquisition, plus the buyout of certain minority interests totalling £7m, taking the Bank's interest in the company to 85.13%;
  • − Buyout of minority interests in RAM Active Investments (€10.1m), which takes the Bank's interest in this company to 94.71%; as at 30 June 2021, as in the consolidated reporting, an adjustment has been taken for the book value of the investment for CHF -1.6m (€-1.5m), which has become necessary as a result of the company's failure to meet its budget objectives, in line with the results of the impairment test carried out on the goodwill recorded in the consolidated balance sheet1 ;
  • − Reduction in the book value of the Messier et Associés investment, by €13.9m, to reflect the prospects of lower profitability going forward following the exit of one of the two equity partners; this reduction was offset, however, by the gain realized as a result of activating the clawback mechanism, and the acquisition of a further 16.7% in the company for the token price of €1; overall, the Bank's interest in the company is now 83.11%, and the investment is carried at a book value of €93.9m (30/6/20: 66.42%; €107.8m). As a result of the above developments, the company has been renamed Messier et Associés;
  • − The Bank's longstanding investment in Burgo (22.13%, written off entirely in 2013) has been reclassified as a financial asset recognized FVOCI, following investment by a new shareholder for which a reserved capital increase was implemented, reducing Mediobanca's share in the company to 4% and meaning it no longer has a significant influence over the company.

The Assicurazioni Generali and Istituto Europeo di Oncologia investments continue to be recognized at cost.

* 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.

Of the reductions, €5.1m refer to the deferred tax relating to the difference between the accounting value and the tax value of the Banca Esperia brand as at 30 June 2021. The tax value of this asset was therefore realigned to the higher

tax value, in application of Article 110, paragraph 8-bis, of Italian Decree Law 104/20, with all liabilities recorded in the accounts being cancelled accordingly. In accordance with the International Accounting Standards and the Bank of Italy instructions, the deferred tax has been released to profit and loss.

1.3 Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost: composition, debt securities in issue

* The fair values are shown net of Mediobanca issuer risk; if this item is included, the fair value at 30 June 2021 would show a gain of €89.2m (30/6/20: €175.5m).

Debt securities in issue decreased from €16,427,886 to €15,770,330 on new issuance of €2.1bn, which offset redemptions and buybacks of €2.5bn (generating gains of €4.8m) and other downward adjustments (exchange rates, amortized cost and hedging effects) amounting to €225.4m.

The bonds in issue include €240m related to arbitrage strategies leveraging on derivative basis indexes (skew) mainly linked to credit derivatives, and a minority to interest rates, inflation or equity risk.

All these issues involve payment of interest in the form of a coupon and full repayment of capital at maturity. Subscribers (all of whom are institutional investors) remain liable for the potential lower value of the arbitrage strategies linked to the notes in the event of early redemption.

As required by par. 4.3.3 of IFRS9 standard, the embedded derivative, identified by the right to include the arbitrage value within the repayment price, has been separated by the obligation valued at amortized cost and booked at the fair value of underlying transactions.

1.4 Breakdown of debt securities/subordinated liabilities

The heading "Debt securities in issue" includes the following five subordinated Lower Tier 2 issues, for a total amount of €1,639,322,000:

1 This refers, as at 30 June 2021, to the amount transferred to the severance provision held at the Italian state pension authority treasury.

9.2 Other Informations

The staff severance indemnity provision, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Italian Civil Code, amounts to €6,629,000 (30/6/20: €6,763,000), with no new service costs accrued for the year.

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 2021 has been used for similar companies to those being valued (equal to 0.26%), while the inflation rate is 1.20%.

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 2021 the heading "Other provisions" totalled €129,1m and includes €60.2m in commitments to disburse funds and financial guarantees issued, €0.7m in in staff-related expenses, and €68.2m 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 thirteen other banks, involving a total of €286m. 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). A ruling at the administrative stage is still pending at the Court of Florence;
  • Lucchini S.p.A. in extraordinary administration ("Lucchini"): against twelve banks for their alleged involvement in the earnings and financial breakdown which affected the company on account of their having compiled and implemented a business and financial plan alleged to have been unrealistic and 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 Court of Milan rejected Lucchini's claim, ordering the company to pay legal expenses. Lucchini has challenged this ruling, giving notice of its appeal on 28 September 2020. The next hearing, for clarification of the pleadings, is set for 12 January 2022.

With reference to the disputes outstanding with the Italian revenue authorities, there have been no major changes compared to the situation last year.

With reference to the alleged non-application of transparency tax required by the regulations on Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) to the income produced by CMB Monaco (previously called Compagnie Monégasque de Banque) and Compagnie Monégasque de Gestion in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 financial years, three disputes are currently pending with the revenue authority. In detail, the disputes refer to FY 2013-14 (on 2013 earnings, in an amount of €21.3m plus interest and fines), in which Mediobanca's appeal was upheld at the first degree, is now pending with the Lombardy regional tax tribunal, after the Italian revenue authority in turn appealed; the disputes referring to FY 2014-15 and FY 2015-16 (on 2014 and 2015 earnings respectively, for tax amounting to €16.1m and €16.4m, plus interest and fines) have yet to be heard at the first degree.

Regarding Mediobanca's alleged failure to apply withholding tax on interest payable as part of a secured financing transaction, as well as the dispute relating to 2014 (for tax in an amount of €2.3m, plus interest and fines), for which no date has yet been set for the first-degree hearing, notice of assessment has also been received for the year 2015 (for tax in an amount of €1.9m, plus interest and fines), which the Bank intends to challenge.

In addition to the above, the following disputes were also outstanding at 30 June 2021:

  • One relating to the former Banca Esperia's failure to report a money transfer outside of Italy as part of the tax monitoring communications, for which fines of €5.9m were handed down. The company was found guilty at both the first- and second-degree hearings, and has paid the disputed amount; its appeal to the Court of Cassation is now pending;
  • A second dispute regarding the alleged failure to pay tax on a loan executed outside of Italy, involving an amount of €375,000 in tax. The Bank was successful at the second stage of the ruling process, and the Italian revenue authority has now submitted an appeal to the Court of Cassation. The date for the hearing is still pending.

The provision for risks and charges is adequate to cover any expenses to which Mediobanca may become liable as a result of any charges brought against them (no other significant litigation is currently pending).

It should be noted that securities lending transactions which involve the payment of cash as collateral which is then fully available to the borrower are represented in the balance sheet as amounts Due from/to banks/customers, under the technical form of "repos". Securities lending transactions secured by other securities or unsecured are represented as off-balance-sheet exposures.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies

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 RISK

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 Group'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 Group's own operating choices identified in the RAF,1 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

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.

RWAs; ii) Credit Risk Management, responsible for credit risk analysis, assigning internal ratings to counterparties and the loss-given default 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 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 co-ordinating 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 parent company:

  • − 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 analysed, 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, the Bank 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 IFRS9 "Financial Instruments", assets which are not recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a regular basis (i.e. financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost 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 IFRS9, 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 ("Stage2") or which show objective signs of impairment ("Stage3"), and on a time horizon of twelve months for the instruments not included in the previous two categories ("Stage1").

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 Stage2. Cases

of low-risk instruments at the recording date are identified, compatible with classification as Stage1 (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 IFRS9, a change in forward-looking twelve-month PD is used as the benchmark quantitative metric for measuring the Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) for the purpose of identifying positions to be classified as Stage2. 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 in connection with the various support programmes made available by the law, category association measures or independent initiatives offered to clients by the Bank itself.2

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 Stage2 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 based on a lifetime approach, 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, mildpositive and mild-negative), weighted according to their likelihood of occurring (50%, 25% and 25% respectively). 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

2 Refer to:

ESMA: Public Statement del 25 marzo 2020 "Accounting implications of the COVID-19 outbreak on the calculation of expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS9";

EBA: Public Statement del 25 marzo 2020 "Statement on the application of the prudential framework regarding Default, Forbearance and IFRS9 in light of COVID-19 measures";

BCE: Letter from the Chair of the Supervisory Board to all Significant Institutions dell'1 aprile 2020 "IFRS9 in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic";

IASB: Statement del 27 marzo 2020 "IFRS9 and Covid-19: Accounting for expected credit losses applying IFRS9 Financial Instruments in the light of current uncertainty resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic".

deviations are obtained from historical analysis of trends in the macroeconomic parameters used in the risk parameter conditioning models, and the levels of variation compared to the base scenario are established using a 25% confidence level.

In view of the economic recovery starting in 3Q 2020, after the recession peaked in the quarter before that, it was decided from as early as end-December 2020 to limit the use of the "spline" technique, applied at the balance-sheet date at end-June 2020, to the estimates provided by the models used in the IFRS9 methodological framework (the so-called "satellite models"). In particular, the spline has been abandoned for the PD satellite model for the Wholesale portfolio, but has been maintained for the LGD satellite models for the same segment, the projections for which would otherwise have been unduly affected by excessive volatility.

The macroeconomic scenario points towards a significant improvement in the main indicators for future years, consistent with the expectations of a gradual return to normality (i.e. pre-Covid conditions). However, in view of the current uncertainties over how the pandemic-related crisis will develop (e.g. possibility of government support measures being withdrawn, roll out and effectiveness of the vaccination campaign, developments in terms of variants of the virus, etc.), the estimated impairment charges deriving from application of the models have been augmented by additional provisioning, or overlays, established in view of the presence of specific aspects that cannot be factored in or valued through modelling.

For the corporate loan book, apart from the Bank-specific overlays (35 bps, due to temporary contractual exemptions, and for counterparties operating in sectors considered to be most vulnerable or impacted by the Covid-19 crisis; 5 bps for the possibility of revision to the risk in view of the balance-sheet data being consolidated), corrections were also made to neutralize the impact of the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario factored into the models in the course of the last six months. This second type of overlay guarantees the same coverage ratio for positions recorded prior to the revision of the macroeconomic scenario is maintained.

For further details about this part, please refer to section 5.

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; "non-performing", used for the supervisory reporting statistics; and Stage3, or "credit-impaired", 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.3

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

3 The regulations referred to above have been applied on a voluntary basis by Mediobanca since the reports issued on 30 September 2019, after authorization was received from the ECB for the AIRB segment. 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 non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19" (subsequently amended on 2 December 2020), 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.

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.4

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 (the latter if concessions are not granted), of more than thirty days past due. Assessment of the borrower's financial difficulties is based primarily on individual analysis.

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 Stage1. 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 prudential transitions between Stages 1, 2 and 3. For instance, when concessions have been made in respect of exposures at

4 Please refer to section 5 for details of the treatment for each business segment, to section 6.1 for the government and regulatory action introduced in response to Covid-19, and to section 6.2 for quantitative analysis of the moratoria granted to clients.

Stage2, the exposures in question cannot return to Stage1 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 Stage3 cannot be returned to Stage1 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 Stage1, 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 Stage1. Nonetheless, "forborne" exposures that have returned from Stage3 to Stage2 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 on prudential grounds to Stage3.

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 prudence and a 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 "watchlist") requiring indepth 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 nonperforming items) and are reviewed regularly to identify the most appropriate mitigation actions to be taken. The watchlist is also used to provide qualitative information regarding allocation to Stage2, which includes counterparties classified as "amber" or "red" for watchlist 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 LGD readings are calculated based on the modelling used for the regulatory calculation, with the downturn effect removed. The forward-looking component of the models is factored in by applying the macroeconomic scenarios defined internally to the risk indicators. The criteria for classification to Stage2 include the quantitative criterion of deterioration in the PD beyond a certain level, plus the requirement of a minimum number of notches downgrade between the date on which the asset was originated and

the reporting date. Revisions to the classification of single names are also possible, based on internal decisions supported by individual analysis.

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, supplied by an external provider, distinguished by counterparty and whether or not there are guarantees.

6. Covid-19 Impacts

6.1 Governmental, legislative and regulatory interventions following the Covid-19 epidemic

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 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 former Covid-19 clients

In response to the economic crisis generated by the medical emergency, Mediobanca has adhered to the provisions introduced by the "Cura Italia" decree,5 allowing SME clients to suspend repayments for a time. As at 30 June 2021, the moratoria period had expired for all of the three counterparties that had taken up this option, involving a total amount of €0.9m.

Mediobanca has received around thirty applications for waivers to financial covenants from corporate clients; of these, only some have not met a capital or interest payment. Given the temporary nature of the difficulties involved and the lack of structural problems for these counterparties in terms of their liquidity, since the start of the pandemic only two of these waivers have constituted forbearance measures.

6.3 Macroeconomic scenario and Covid-19 impacts

The macroeconomic scenario used in the provisioning process to revise the risk parameters at end-June incorporates an estimate for the sudden increase in GDP for all global economies.

The estimates used by the Group for 2021, updated in April 2021, see GDP increasing in Italy by 4.51%, in the EU area by 3.97%, and the United States by 6.59%. Equally, the estimated unemployment rate has settled at 9.80% in Italy, 7.60% in Europe, and 5.35% in the United States.

5 Italian Decree Law 18/2020 (the so-called "Cura Italia" decree), as converted into law by Italian Law 27/2020.

Most of these figures have been revised to show substantial improvement from the figures reported at end-June 2020 (GDP in Italy down 8.93%; EU down 6.31%; USA down 3.49%).

Overall, the higher provisions for the twelve months attributable to the new macroeconomic scenario due to Covid-19 amounted to €96m, and refer mostly to loans (intercompany loans total €32m). Unlike last year, when the revision of the macroeconomic scenario had a pronounced effect, this year the increase in provisioning is due to positions being reclassified as Stage2 (mainly in 2Q), given that the potential release of funds deriving from the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario at end-June 2021 was fully neutralized by the increased level of provisioning applied (overlays).

The transfers from Stage1 to Stage2 were impacted by the prudential classifications for certain corporate positions after applications for waivers to financial covenants and Covid-related measures were received.

The Burgo position did not affect the movements from Stage3 to Stage1 as virtually the entire debt was renegotiated as a result of investment by a new shareholder.

A.1.7 Cash and off-balance-sheet exposures to customers: gross and net values

As at 30 June 2021, gross non-performing loans decreased from €468.7m to €114.9m, the lowest level seen in the last decade as a result of one large corporate exposure (Burgo) returning to performing status. Similarly, net NPLs decreased to €74.3m (€287.2m), accounting for 0.3% (1%) of the total cash exposures, with the coverage ratio increasing from 38.7% to 48.7% with a view to addressing future scenario uncertainties.

As at 30 June 2021, gross non-performing exposures subject to forbearance measures6 decreased from €459.8m to €136.7m, after the Burgo loan exited this category as a result of the company's entire indebtedness being renegotiated following investment by a new shareholder, which allowed the company's financial structure to be rebalanced,7 reducing the exposure from €317.7m to €254.1m. The coverage ratio increased from 38.4% to 48.2%, and is reflected in the reduction in the net position, from €283m to €70.9m.

Gross performing forborne exposures totalled €87.4m, lower than last year (€222m), after the accounts for which moratoria granted in mortgage lending and leasing were reclassified as Stage2, resulting in an increase which was only partially offset by the reduction in the large corporate segment; net performing forborne exposures decreased from €212.7m to €84.3m, with a coverage ratio of 3.5% (4.2%).

Net non-performing forborne exposures account for 0.4% (1.6%) of total customer loans, whereas net performing forborne exposures account for 0.5% (1.2%).

A.1.11 Non-performing cash exposures to customers: trend in overall writedowns

6 By definition, "forbearance" is when a specific concession is offered to a client which is undergoing, or which risks encountering, temporary financial difficulties in meeting their payment obligations.

7 The new loan has been granted performing status (and so excluded from the forborne category), as it has been renegotiated on market terms and without especial difficulties given the better-than-expected performances delivered by the company in the last three financial years, which has enabled it to complete the recovery plan required under Article 67 of the Italian bankruptcy law despite the pandemic.

A.2.1 Financial assets, commitments to disburse fund and financial guarantees given by class of external ratings (gross values)

The Bank 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 94% of the entire portfolio, excluding unrated counterparties and nonperforming loans.

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

A.2.2 Financial assets, commitments to disburse funds and financial guarantees given by class of internal ratings (gross values)

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.

At the reporting date, aggregate exposures (including market risks and equity investments) to a total of eighteen groups of clients (eight more than last year) were in excess of 10% of CET1 regulatory capital, for a gross exposure of €14.2bn (€11.9bn, taking into account guarantees and weightings), higher than the respective figures at end-June 2020 (€11.4bn and €9bn respectively). In detail the eighteen exposures are to seven industrial groups, one insurance company and nine banking groups. The increased number and value of risks defined as large is due exclusively to the stricter definition limit coming into force (i.e. 10% of CET 1 capital rather than total capital).

8 The EBA Risk Dashboard defines the way according to which the Gross NPL ratio should be calculated: it is the ratio between the gross NPLs book value (loans and advances) and total loans and advances. Source: EBA Risk Dashboard, Risk Indicators in the Statistical Annex (AQT_3.2).

C. Securitization

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

The bulk of the portfolio consists of the Group's senior securitizations, with €1,196.7m in Quarzo bonds with performing Compass receivables as the underlying instrument, down on the figure reported last year (30/6/20: € 2,574.3m).

The Bank has portfolio of securities deriving from securitizations by other issuers totalling €286.6m, €231.2m of which as part of the banking book (all HTC recognized at amortized cost) and €55.4m as part of the trading book.

The ABS market maintained its positive trend, in line with the general recovery phase and the gradual return to normality post-pandemic. Spreads therefore benefited from falling default rates, helped by the dual effect of economic growth on the one hand and the ECB and individual European governments' support measures on the other. Despite the clearly improving scenario, new business in ABS remained sluggish, while the Consumer Banking and automotive loans segments were more buoyant as they are liked more directly to the reopening of the economy.

During the twelve months under review, senior securities in the banking book increased from €133m to €215.1m, due to a strong increase in positions in CLOs (from €52.4m to €168.2m, almost half of which invested in the senior tranches of Cairn CLO XII and CLO XIII), replacing the reduced exposure to deals with NPLs as underlying (down from €80.7m to €46.9m) which are non entirely related to domestic operations. The exposure to mezzanine tranches has also decreased (from €69m to €15.6m) of which €10.8m related to operations with performing loan and €4.3m CLO. The share of junior notes remains decidedly low at €0.5m. The difference between book value (amortized cost) and fair value (obtained from the market platforms) remains low, at €198,000.

Holdings in the trading book, none of which involve junior securities, amount to €55.4m (30/6/20: €28.9m), made up of €29.2m senior securities, €8m of which CLOs, and €26.2m in mezzanine securities, €13.4m of which securitizations of performing receivables (mostly Italian and German) and €12.8m in CLO tranches.

Mediobanca also has an exposure to:

F. Models for managing credit risk

The Bank 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.

2. 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. The expected shortfall on the set of positions subject to VaR calculation is also calculated, by means of historical simulation; this represents the average potential losses over and beyond the level of confidence for the VaR. 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 twelve months under review saw a reduction in volatility for all asset classes, following the highs recorded in spring 2020 following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This allowed a reduction in the risk indicator readings, confirmed by the absence of stop losses and breaches of the limits in terms of VaR in the course of the twelve months. The aggregate value-at-risk on the trading book ranged from a low of €2.7m at end-September 2020 to a high of €6.4m at the start of the financial year, with the average reading almost unchanged versus last year (at approx. €4.2m). From the high recorded at the start of July 2020, VaR gradually reduced, first to being stably between €6m and €7m, then declining as far as €3m at end-January 2021. This is due to a reduction in the outright position in the proprietary arbitrage portfolio (the most substantial being in the months of July and August 2020), plus a reduced exposure to shortterm US interest rates. The continued growth in the mark-to-market equitylinked certificates business, and the related DVA hedging policies, along with the high volatility on credit and equity markets (albeit less high than last year) have nonetheless ensured that VaR remains at high levels.

Since February 2021 VaR has gradually started to rise again, with spikes of €6m, stabilizing at around €5m. This increase reflects the higher exposure to interest rates (US short-term and Eurozone interest rates linked to the yields on German and Italian government bonds), and a higher equity exposure both in the proprietary arbitrage portfolio and versus US equities. The point-in-time reading for VaR as at 30 June 2021 was €4.8m (€5.8m).

Like VaR, the expected shortfall also showed an average reading in line with last year, at around €5.5m.

The results of the daily back-testing on the trading book (based on comparison with the theoretical profits and losses) showed only one departure from VaR, which occurred in July 2020 as a result of losses posted in the proprietary arbitrage portfolio.

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 trading desks. Each 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 share volatility) which are monitored daily. Compared to last year there was a significant reduction in the average equity delta, which decreased from €738,000 to €180,000 (due primarily to the lower outright positions in the proprietary arbitrage portfolio, and to the increase in US short equity positions), as well as increased sensitivity to US interest rates (US and Eurozone). The other sensitivities maintained a similar average level to last year, despite recording pronounced fluctuations in the course of the twelve months.

2.2 INTEREST RATE RISK AND PRICE RISK – BANKING BOOK

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

The 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 twenty-year 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 behavioural 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 (multi-curve). The credit component has been stripped out of the cash flows for the economic value sensitivity only.

With reference to the Bank's banking book positions as at 30 June 2021, in the event of a simultaneous parallel rise in the interest rates ("parallel down"), the estimated interest margin would be negatively affected by approx. €2m.

With reference to analysis of the discounted value of estimated cash flows on the banking book, a flattener shock generates a €90m loss (€22m last year).

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).10

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 fixed-rate, zero coupon and structured bond issue 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 hadge 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.

10 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.

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 Group 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.

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 the Mediobanca Group, 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.

For derivatives transactions, as required by IFRS13, the fair value incorporates the effects of the counterparty's credit risk (CVA) and Mediobanca's credit risk (DVA) based on the future exposure profile of the aggregate of such contracts outstanding.

The trend in the exchange rate component of VaR shown on p. 228 is an effective representation of changes in the risks taken on the forex market, because the Group's exposure to exchange rate risk is managed globally.

The exchange rate effect on the Bank's investment in RAM AI (CHF) has been hedged by means of a deposit (liability) up to an amount of €150m, so the change in the fair value in relation to the exchange rate for the portion of the instrument to be hedged is recorded under profit and loss account Heading 90 "Net hedging income (expense)" to hedge the change in the exchange rate on the investment, while the remaining fair value is recorded under Heading 80, "Net trading income".

1. Assets, liabilities and derivatives by currency

2. Internal models and other methodologies used for sensitivity analysis

The development of the pandemic has been the factor that has affected the trend in exchange rate volatility more than any other. Volatility, and along with it, the Bank's overall forex VaR, declined last summer, when the pandemic seemed to be coming to an end, before climbing again in October 2020, and remaining at high levels to the end of December. VaR then fella gain during the rest of the financial year, more or less stabilizing at between €5m and €6m. The average forex VaR was basically in line with the reading for last year, at €7m (€7.7m); while the point in time reading at 30 June 2021 was €7.8m (€11.8m).

4. LIQUIDITY RISK

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Banks are naturally exposed to liquidity risk as a result of the role they perform in the maturity transformation process.

Liquidity risk is distinguished according to its timing profile:

  • 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 entity not having stable sources of financing in the medium or long term, meaning it is unable to meet its own financial obligations 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 Mediobanca 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 in the short and long term which is adequate to cope with a period of prolonged stress (combining Bank-specific and systemic stress factors).

The Group Liquidity Risk Management Policy (the "Policy") approved by the Board of Directors of Mediobanca S.p.A. defines the target in terms of the level of highly liquid assets to be maintained in order to cover the cash flows anticipated in 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 used, the guidelines for carrying out the stress testing process, the funds transfer pricing system and the contingency funding plan.

Strategic decisions on liquidity risk are taken by the Board of Directors, to which the Policy assigns several important duties, 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 Risk Appetite Framework.

The ALM Committee discusses the issues of most relevance to liquidity risk, defining the asset and liability structure and the related acceptance of the risk of asset and liability mismatches, management in line with the commercial and financial objectives set in the budget and the Risk Appetite Framework.

In application of Article 86 of Directive 2013/36/EU, Mediobanca 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), Mediobanca performs 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 self-assessment overall are presented to the governing bodies annually.

The units of the Bank that are 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 integrated, second-level control system for current and future risks, in accordance with the Group's regulations and governance strategies.

The Group Audit Unit is responsible for evaluating 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 Bank's objective is to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable it to meet the payment obligations, ordinary and extraordinary, that it has undertaken, at the established expiry dates, while at the same time keeping the costs involved to a minimum and hence without incurring losses. The short-term liquidity policy is intended to ensure that the mismatch between cash inflows and outflows, expected and unexpected, remains sustainable in the short term, even over an intraday time horizon.

Group Treasury manages its own liquidity position actively, with the objective of being able to meet its own clearing obligations within the timeframe required.

For a description of the metrics used to monitor short- and medium/longterm liquidity, reference is made to Part E of the Consolidated Notes to the Accounts.

As from this year, it is compulsory to comply with the requirement in terms of the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)11 as well as the short-term Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR).12

As at 30 June 2021, the individual LCR for Mediobanca was 144%, while the NSFR was 110%, both well above the regulatory thresholds.

In addition to the risk measurement system described above, an event governance model has been devised known as the Contingency Funding Plan (described in the Policy) 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.

11 Directive (EU) No. 2019/878 (CRD V) and Regulation (EU) No. 2019/876 (CRR II).

12 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/61 as supplemented and amended.

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 Group itself.

The liquidity risk mitigation factors adopted by Mediobanca are as follows:

  • An adequate level of high-quality, highly liquid assets to address 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 early warning indicator system.

5. 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 2021 was €126.2m (€109m last year).

Risk mitigation

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

The processes of identifying and assessing operational risks, collecting and analysing loss data and providing support in connection with operational risk mitigation activities 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 twelve months were very low and impacted only marginally on total revenues (around 0,04%).

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

Event Type % on Total Loss
Execution, delivery and process management 7%
Employment practices and workplace safety 31%
Clients, products and business practices 40%
System failures and Business disruption 20%
Other 2%
Total 100%

In terms of potential effects, or estimates, the risk of "low frequency and high severity" events remains material, given the nature of the Bank's businesses, which feature non-standard transactions of large size, notably in CIB and in part Wealth Management. Mitigation actions implemented and constantly under review take the form of strengthening governance and first-level controls, and enhancing the framework for assessing and monitoring operational risks.

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.

Litigation risk: risks deriving from cases outstanding

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 excess 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) and the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR/CRR II) issued by the European Parliament as from 2013, and enacted in Italy in Bank of Italy circular no. 285 as amended, the Bank:

  • 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 CRR;
  • Has chosen to apply the static approach in order to mitigate the effect of first-time adoption of IFRS9 over the 2019-24 five-year period;1

On the other side, the Bank has decided not to extend the phase-in regime for a further five years, as permitted in order to mitigate the impact on own funds of higher IFRS9-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.

The following regulatory changes have been incorporated during the twelve months under review:

– Software (intangible assets) weighted at 100% if the amortization period does not exceed three years, rather than being deducted from CET1 as was previously the case;2

1 As provided by Regulation (EU) 2017/2395, "Transitional arrangements for mitigating the impact of the introduction of IFRS9 on own funds", which incorporates a new version of Article 473-bis of the CRR, "Introduction of IFRS9".

2 Prudential treatment in accordance with the provisions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 December 2020, which comes into force from the reporting for reference date 31 December 2020 (the new treatment had already been introduced in 2019 with the approval of CRR II, and was later also included in the "quick-fix" package).

  • Introduction of a stricter concentration limit, in that the 25% limit is now calculated relative to CET1 rather than eligible capital, which for the Mediobanca Group was equivalent to total capital;
  • Introduction of new rules for the calculation of the Exposure at Default (EAD) used to measure counterparty risk and to calculate the Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) for derivative financial instruments; the methodology applied by the Group, pursuant to Articles 271ff of CRR II, is now the Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA – CCR) as opposed to the Current Exposure Method (CEM) previously used; the additional expense added by this change to the regulation has been offset by applying the exemption from the own funds requirement for Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) risk for exposures to corporate counterparties, as permitted under Article 382 of the CRR;
  • Transition to stricter prudential treatment of exposures in Collective Investment Undertakings (CIUs, consisting of funds and SICAVs) based on the effective risks of the underlying investments (the so-called "lookthrough" approach), in accordance with the provisions of Articles 132ff of CRR II.

The reduced weighting for prudent valuation introduced temporarily to mitigate the effects of the Covid-related situation has been discontinued.3

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

Common Equity Tier1 (cd. CET1) consists of capital paid up, reserves (including €174.9m in positive reserves for AFS securities, €27.0m of which government securities) and the profit for the year (€578.4m), included in the calculation of CET1 net of the proposed dividend (€569.2m), subject to the ECB's final decision.

The deductions regard:

  • Treasury shares as to €267.1m;
  • Intangible assets as to €39.5m, down slightly compared to the deductions for last year (€32.4m);

3 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) no. 101/2016 was amended on 28 May 2020 by the European Commission, set the aggregation factor "α" to 66%, applicable until 31 December 2020.

  • Prudential changes to the valuation of financial instruments (AVA and DVA) amounting to €79.2m (€45.6m);
  • Interests in financial companies (banking and insurance) exceeding the upper limits set totalling €68.8, higher than at end-June 2020 (€22.3m) due to deductions in respect of the Assicurazioni Generali investment, after CRR II came into force, introducing a stricter concentration limit (25% of Tier 1 alone).

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

Tier 2 capital includes subordinated liabilities, down in the twelve months from €1,225.1m to €1,167.3m due to amortization for the period most of which was offset by the new issue (€250m).4 Tier 2 also includes the buffer which derives from the writedowns to book value being higher than the prudential expected losses calculated using the advanced models. The value calculated is €52.8m, virtually in line with last year (€49.4m).

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

4 Mediobanca issued its inaugural Tier 2 bond in November 2020. The €250m issue, reserved for institutional investors, has a ten-year maturity with call option after five years. The bond was priced at Euribor 3M not floored + 288 bps (fixed coupon 2.3%). The deal was oversubscribed, with demand 10x the amount issued, and over 70% distributed to non-Italian investors.

2.2 Capital adequacy

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

At 30 June 2021, the Common Equity Ratio - the ratio of Primary Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets - amounted to 14.60%, down from 30 June 2020 (14.81%) due to the increase in RWA (-70bps, related to higher RWA) and the regulatory changes introduced by CRR2 (-15bps, related to the new concentration limit and the calculation of RWA for counterparty risk and for the treatment of UCITS funds), only partly offset by the optimisation initiatives initiatives completed in the year (+35bps) and higher reserves (+30bps).

The total capital ratio decreased from 18.25% to 17.87%.

Fully-loaded and without application of the Danish Compromise, i.e. with the Assicurazioni Generali stake fully deducted (which accounted for €-773.8m including the indirect effects) and with full application of the IFRS9 effect

(which accounted for €-2.9m including the indirect effects), the CET1 ratio would be 13.36% and the total capital ratio 16.96% also down compared to 30 June 2020 (13.72% and 17.56% respectively).

The Leverage Ratio, calculated without the benefit of the temporary possibility allowed by the regulator to exclude reserves held with central banks from the exposures, decreased from 8.5% to 7.9%. Also full loaded is almost in line at 6.7%(7% last year).

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; this procedure came into force during December 2012, and was updated most recently in June 2021. 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.

2.1 Regular financial disclosure: most significant transactions

2. Description of performance shares schemes and parent company LTI

In the area of equity instruments used for staff remuneration, Mediobanca has decided to adopt a performance shares scheme, the most recent version of which was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 28 October 2020.

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 to 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.

A resolution was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 28 October 2020, authorizing the Board of Directors to increase the Bank's share capital free of charge through the issuance of up to 20 million

shares for use in connection with the scheme. The 24,910,107 treasury shares owned may also be used in connection with the scheme.

In connection with the variable remuneration for the 2020 financial year, a total of 1,235,209 performance shares were allocated during the twelve months under review: the shares, the award of which is conditional upon performance objectives being met over a three-year and/or five-year (for Executive Directors and other Material Risk-Takers), will be made available in tranches (up to 598,598 in FY 2021-22, up to 115,820 in FY 2022-23, up to 263,802 in FY 2023-24, up to 109,007 in FY 2024-25, up to 107,992 in FY 2025/26).

On 27 November 2020, a total of 1,566,239 shares were awarded in the form of treasury shares delivered.

Since 30 June 2021, in connection with the variable remuneration for the 2021 financial year, a total of 1,313,735 performance shares have been awarded, at a figurative cost of €10.4m, as part of the variable remuneration component only. The shares, the award of which is conditional upon performance objectives being met over a five-year period, will be made available in tranches in November 2022 (up to 576,120), November 2023 (up to 205,591), November 2024 (up to 314,236), November 2025 (up to 109,143) and November 2026 (up to 108,645).

On 19 December 2019, the Board of Directors approved the Long-Term Incentive (LTI) scheme for the Chief Executive Officer of Mediobanca and the Group General Manager linked to the achievement of the objectives set in the 2019-23 Strategic Plan.

Part M – Disclosure on leasing

SECTION 1

Lessee

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

With reference to IFRS16 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 Bank. 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. Lease contracts, other than those related to properties and vehivles, are of negligible amount.

At the first-time adoption stage for IFRS16, 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. Subleasing arrangements involve only negligible amounts.

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

For quantitative information on the impact on the Bank'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 2021 was €21,940m, broken down as follows:

  • Value in use of properties: €18,592,000;
  • Value in use of vehicles: €3,245,000;
  • Value in use of other assets: €103,000.

SECTION 2

Lessor

QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

As for contracts within the scope of IFRS16 standard, for the Bank only real estate sub-leasing contracts shall be considered. These contracts, in connection to finance lease transactions, are to be considered non recurring and of negligible amount (30/6/21: €5.1m).

QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION

As for quantitative informations about the Bank's balance-sheet and economic situation, please refer to the specific sections of the present financial statement:

  • For receivables arising from sub-leasing contracts, please see "Part B Assets – Section 4";
  • For the economic effects, please see "Part C Information on Profit and loss account", and in particular sections dedicated to interest income, interest expense and writedowns on tangible assets.

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 IFRS16, 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.

3. Operating leases

The Bank currently has no operating leases outstanding.
