A. Need to fulfill legal obligations deriving from your role as a Member of the UniCredit's Board of Directors.
These obligations imply, among others, verifying - both during the selection procedures and on an ongoing basis - the compliance: i) with the eligibility requirements for taking on and maintaining the role of Director as well as of specific positions (such as integrity requirements, criteria of correctness, professional experience requirements and competence, independence, time commitment, maximum number of offices covered, respect of the prohibition of interlocking) as required by applicable law, by UniCredit's Articles of Association and by the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (i.e. Codice di Autodisciplina delle società quotate) as well as ii) with the regulations on the transaction with related parties, and iii) with social security and fiscal obligations linked to the remuneration provided.
To comply with the above-mentioned obligations, in some cases, UniCredit is required to carry out analyses that concern also your relatives2 . For this reason, we kindly ask you to let them aware of this Information Notice.
