JANUARY 12, 2017, ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING
Item no. 1 on the Agenda
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT
APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Shareholders,
You have been called to this UniCredit S.p.A. (the "Company") Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting in order to decide on the appointment of three Directors for the integration of the Board of Directors.
To that regard may we remind you that the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on May 13th, 2015, appointed the Directors for the financial years 2015-2017, intended to stay in office until the Shareholders' Meeting called for the approval of the 2017 financial statements, resolving that they ought to be 17 in number.
As you know, during the course of the year 2016 the Directors Mrs. Jung, Mr. Bischoff and Mr. Ghizzoni left their office. As a consequence the Board of Directors co-opted as Directors of your Company, as envisaged by sec. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, by means of resolutions approved by the Board of Statutory Auditors:
- Mr. Sergio Balbinot (9th June 2016 sitting);
- Mr. Jean Pierre Mustier (30th June 2016 sitting);
- Mrs. Martha Dagmar Böckenfeld (22nd September 2016 sitting).
Said Directors were chosen, further to the favourable opinion of the Corporate Governance, HR and Nomination Committee (June 9th, June 29th and September 19th 2016 sittings), consistently with the criteria singled out by the Board in the document
called "Qualitative and quantitative composition of the UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Directors" approved on March 12th 2015 (hereinafter also "Quali-quantitative Profile").
The Board of Directors - further to the favourable opinion of the Corporate Governance, HR and Nomination Committee on June 29th and October 13th 2016 - in its July 11th and October 13th 2016 sittings, then went ahead to check the professional, integrity and independence1 requirements of the co-opted Directors, as well as their meeting the Quali-quantitative Profile.
Taking into account that, according to sec. 2386 of the Italian Civil Code, the Directors co-opted by the Board of Directors in place of those having left during the financial year remain in office "until the next Shareholders' Meeting", it is necessary to put to the Shareholders' Meeting the proposal to appoint three Directors in order to integrate the Board itself.
In view of the above, the Board of Directors, in its December 12th 2016 meeting, further to a favourable opinion of the Corporate Governance, HR and Nomination Committee, resolved to submit to the Meeting the proposal to appoint three Directors, confirming the Directors previously co-opted, i.e. Mr. Jean Pierre Mustier, Mr. Sergio Balbinot and Mrs. Martha Dagmar Böckenfeld, who communicated their availability to be candidates2 .
Consistently with the Articles of Association, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting will resolve on the matter with a relative majority without applying the vote by list system, the abidance by the principles of independence and balance between genders required by current provisions - also of a regulatory nature - remaining firm.
The document "Qualitative and quantitative UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Directors composition" is available to Shareholders on the Company web-site in order to allow them to submit any candidacies for the integration of the Board, taking into account the
1 The check concerned the Directors that had declared being independent: Mrs. Böckenfeld (independent according to the Articles of Association, the Corporate Governance Code and the Legislative Decree no. 58/98) and Mr. Balbinot (independent according to the Legislative Decree no. 58/98).

Board of Directors", then we ask you to approve the following resolution:
