Foreword

On 24 March 2022, members of the Nattino family headed by Cavaliere del lavoro Dott. Giampietro Nattino - i.e. Giampietro Nattino, Arturo Nattino, Andrea Nattino, Giulia Nattino, Paola Nattino, Celeste Buitoni, Giampietro Nattino Jr and Paolo Nattino ("GN Members") - expressed their intention, subject to the issuance of the necessary legal authorisations, to concentrate in a newly established holding company entitled Nattino Holding S.r.l. ("Holding") approximately 68.72% of the share capital of Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. ("Banca Finnat", the "Bank", the "Issuer" or the "Company") held by the GN Members (the "Contribution").

The Contribution will result in the Holding acquiring de jure control of Banca Finnat and, following the Contribution, the Holding will promote, via a special purpose vehicle wholly owned by the Holding itself, called PN 1898 S.r.l. ("Bidco"), a mandatory tender offer for all the Bank's shares (the "Shares") for a price no lower than the Contribution values and equal to Euro 0.31, with the aim of delisting the Bank (the "Offer").

On the same date, Maria Sole Nattino, Ilaria Nattino, Daniela Salivetto (jointly with Maria Sole Nattino and Ilaria Nattino, the "AN Members"), GL Investimenti S.r.l. ("GL Investimenti") and H.P.A. S.r.l. ("HPA") have entered into significant commitments towards Holding and BidCo pursuant to art. 122, paragraphs 1 and 5, of TUF (the "Shareholders' Agreement").

The Offer will be promoted on all the outstanding Banca Finnat's shares, other than, aside from the shares involved in the Contribution, the shares purchased by BidCo, the shares held by the AN Members, GL Investimenti and HPA, as persons acting in concert, as well as the 28,810,640 treasury shares held by the Issuer equal to approximately 7.94% of the Issuer's share capital.
