- Elimination of so-called "negative reserves" for components not subject to change by means of their defi nitive coverage
Directors' Report
April 9, 2020 Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting

Elimination of so-called "negative reserves" for components not subject to change by means of their definitive coverage
Dear Shareholders,
you have been called in Ordinary Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. to approve, inter alia, the elimination of certain the socalled "negative reserves" by means of their definitive coverage as reported below.
The Board of Directors proposes to eliminate certain of the so-called "negative reserves" classified under the shareholders' equity of UniCredit, having definitive characteristics, cannot be subject to further changes.
These negative reserves, which amount in total to €3,407,151,223.87 are subject to proposed elimination:
- for the amount of €3,283,308,260.33 by the use of the Share Premium Reserve to eliminate the following negative reserves:
- € 242,314,989.67 related to the repayment of Additiona Tier 1 (AT1) coupons in 20181
- € 282,388,538.63 related to the repayment of Additiona Tier 1 (AT1) coupons in 20192
- € 2,758,604,732.03 related to the first time adoption of the IFRS92 (so called "FTA IFRS9 reserve")
- for the amount of €123,842,963.54 by the use of Statutory Reserve to eliminate the negative reserves arising from the payment of usufruct fees in 2019 related to Cashes financial instruments
Please note that the AT1 are capital instruments with perpetual duration and give the issuer full discretion in coupon payments and redemptions, also advanced, of the principal outstanding. The coupons paid, net of related taxes, are booked in a specific negative reserve to reduce net equity.
In addition the FTA IFRS9 reserve recognizes the negative effects from first time adoption of the IFRS9 accounting standard due to changes in reclassification and revaluation of the financial instruments, net of taxes.
The proposal does not have any impact on the overall extent of Shareholders' Equity, but is considered appropriate by the Board for a more immediate and straightforward interpretation of such Equity.
1 The elimination through the use of Share premium reserve has been authorized by European Central Bank with letter dated 5th April 2019
2 The elimination is subject to the authorization by Europena Central Bank to use Share premium reserve
