Chairman's

CHAIRMAN
UNICREDIT S.P.A.
10
2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the UniCredit Board of Directors, I start by sharing
our heartfelt gratitude to Jean Pierre Mustier for all of his
achievements. Jean Pierre took the lead of UniCredit almost five
years ago, at a delicate historical moment. He leaves our Group
in a position of strength. He led through years of an extraordinary
turnaround, achieved with the unwavering support of all those
working at UniCredit, to whom I am also grateful. Thanks to the
successful implementation of Transform 2019, despite the crisis
triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, our Group is and remains in
a solid position. We have high capital levels and are a true pan-
European bank, with a well-diversified presence. We will continue
to turn challenges into opportunities.
The year 2020, marked by Covid-19, was difficult for everyone. I am
proud of how the Group swiftly responded to the crisis, to support
all of our stakeholders. First and foremost, we prioritised the
personal safety of our employees and clients, by taking immediate
and decisive actions to protect them. We also rolled out numerous
initiatives to support the real economy, rapidly implementing
moratoriums and providing governments-backed loans. At the
same time, we provided significant support for hospitals and the
civil protection service.
As a response to the pandemic, the Supervisory Authority requested
in relation to 2019 financial year, a freeze of all dividend payments,
to protect capital levels in the banking system and ensure continued
support for the real economy. More recently, the ECB announced the
resumption of bank profit distribution. UniCredit is also planning
an extraordinary capital distribution in the last quarter of the year,
should the conditions recur and subject to the Supervisory Authority
authorization. It is important that European banks are perceived
as a good investment, to encourage international shareholders to
commit capital that the financial sector can put to good use across
Europe. As such, the Group has recently confirmed its dividend
policy, to create solid value for our shareholders.
The way the Group has achieved its turnaround and served our
clients and communities leaves me very optimistic about the future.
In October, we co-opted in our Board of Directors Piercarlo Padoan
who is the best candidate for the position of UniCredit Chairman
for the next term. The Group will benefit from his extraordinary
experience and extensive knowledge of European institutional and
financial framework. His co-optation well in advance of the end of
my mandate has ensured a smooth hand-over and has played a
key role in the Board renewal process. Together, we have identified
the new Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Orcel, an outstanding
banker with a broad experience in the international banking sector
combined with proven track record in business transformation
and risk management focus. We strongly believe his contribution
to UniCredit will be distinctive. Over the coming years, Piercarlo
11
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts and Andrea will have the opportunity to work closely with the
wonderful people at UniCredit, benefitting from their extraordinary
skills and dedication.
In a challenging economic context, with rapidly evolving client
needs, digital transformation plays a critical role. On the one hand,
it responds to the growing demand for simplicity and speed. On
the other hand, it allows the optimisation of company processes.
UniCredit will continue to invest in innovation.
This is my final message to you as Chairman. My mandate,
together with that of the current Board, is coming to an end. We
leave a transformed Group, fully dedicated to supporting the
real economy: clients and communities. UniCredit is inspired by
two core values, ethics and respect, which form the basis of our
long-term vision, and it will continue to provide finance and drive
positive change in society. Furthermore, at UniCredit, the ways
in which results are achieved are as important as the results
themselves. We are proud that the attention to sustainability has
been acknowledged externally, through numerous awards.
The Group will continue to grow and strengthen the client
franchise, transform its service model and optimise productivity,
with disciplined risk management and controls as well as rigorous
capital and balance sheet management. UniCredit will remain a
solid "pan-European commercial bank with local roots" supporting
the real economy: families and companies, in their international
growth and development.
Your faithfully,
Cesare Bisoni
Chairman UniCredit S.p.A.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
UNICREDIT S.P.A.
14
2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Dear Shareholders,
the year 2020 was a big shock for all of us. We faced new challenges
with the benefit of a strong balance sheet, thanks to all the great work
done by our teams. We were able to assist and support our clients and
team members, while protecting them.
The needs of our clients changed even faster, so we accelerated the
transformation of the Group already planned for in Team 23. All
transformation requires courage and 2020 has been a year where our
team members have shown extraordinary commitment. In UniCredit,
we celebrated our branch heroes, who supported our customers
throughout the lockdowns. We continue to collect their stories and
those of other teams, across the Group, to discover how we have been,
and are still, facing these unprecedented times. The health and safety
of our team members and clients has always been and will remain our
top priority.
Outside the Group, we also supported heroes in the medical sectors by
supporting medical innovation, such as the CURA pod prototype, as well
as offering zero interest rate loans and donating millions to hospitals
and the healthcare services in several of our countries.
UniCredit in 2020: Do the right thing!
I am very proud of everything that we have achieved at UniCredit,
over the past few years, especially in 2020. Thanks to our strong
position, and our people, we were able to be part of the solution
during a very challenging year.
Throughout the health emergency, we remained open for business
and continued to serve customers in all our countries, while keeping
them and our people safe. We did this by accelerating the switch to
digital and remote banking. We made decisions quickly, based on
data, to protect colleagues and clients. We rolled out new laptops
and VPN access to give around 80,000 UniCredit employees the
possibility of working remotely. We unlocked potential by giving our
people the opportunity to work safely and effectively, while making
sure they could continue to contribute.
While all this began as a response to the health crisis, the ongoing
situation led to pronounced changes in our clients’ mindset, behaviours
and needs, as well as developments in our own. The Covid-19 pandemic
created a need and an opportunity to accelerate our transformation.
We are now investing to make sure that these improvements are
long-lasting. For example, we are rolling out training to help our
people lead remote teams and manage hybrid working. We will
also continue to support our employees with a new welfare and
wellness offer: work-life balance will be increasingly important in
the future.
15
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts At the same time, human interactions will remain key to our Group
culture. Our strong working relationships are one of the reasons
why UniCredit has been able to work remotely so effectively
over the past few months. The workplace will continue to be an
important element of our lives, and while things will certainly be
different, the change may be less extreme than some might think.
In 2020, we made important contributions to our communities
and the real economy. These include our Social Impact Banking,
which started in Italy in 2017 and has since been extended to 10
other Group countries. As at the end of 2020, we had disbursed
well over €225 million to support nearly 4,400 projects and
microenterprises that make a social impact. We remain on track
to meet our goal of providing €1 billion of social impact financing
by 2023.
We also responded to the health and economic emergency with
a wide range of volunteering initiatives and donations, including
millions of euros donated by UniCredit employees and customers
and the UniCredit Foundation. You can read about some of these
activities later in this report and on our website.
All this was possible thanks to our corporate culture, which is
based on two values, Ethics and Respect, and our commitment
to always Do the Right Thing! This guiding principle governs our
interactions with all our stakeholders.
In 2020, we continued to lead most international peers on
governance, such as pay practices and board structure. We are
the only bank in Italy with an EE+ rating from Standard Ethics,
recognised as a European excellence in terms of sustainability.
This is all thanks to our concrete ESG actions, such as the launch
of our new coal policy, that commits UniCredit to ending all
coal financing by 2028. We also ranked number one globally for
sustainability-linked loans by Bloomberg* and were awarded Best
Social Impact Bank in Europe by Capital Finance International.
UniCredit will soon be launching other new initiatives, in line with
our ESG strategy.
With our management leading by example, we will continue
to build a sustainable future, where environmental, social and
governance factors are essential for long-term growth. At UniCredit,
sustainability is part of our DNA. We say what we do and do what
we say, and we always favour long-term sustainable outcomes
over short-term solutions. We will continue to support our clients,
communities, partners and the industry at large, in becoming
increasingly sustainable.
*as at 3Q 2020.
16
2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit Team 23: focused on our customers
Our strategy remains “One Bank, One UniCredit” and our mission is
unchanged: UniCredit is a simple successful pan-European commercial
bank, with a fully plugged in CIB, delivering a unique Western, Central and
Eastern European network to our extensive and growing client franchise.
We will continue to build on our existing competitive advantages.
In 2020, we continued to focus on the four strategic pillars we
introduced to investors at our Capital Markets Day in 2019.
Grow and
strengthen
client franchise
Transform
and maximise
productivity
Disciplined risk
management
& controls
Capital and
balance sheet
management
As mentioned earlier, the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the
change in our clients’ behaviours. We responded to this by speeding
up our own digital transformation, so that we can continue to
support their evolving needs. UniCredit is a multi-channel bank
and we have made good progress in the areas of mobile banking,
call centres, internet banking and paperless branches. Our goal
is to transition towards a true omni-channel approach that will
provide all UniCredit clients with the same customer experience,
whichever channels they prefer to use.
We maintained a very strong capital level at all times, continuing
our disciplined management of the business to sustain our
liquidity levels, focused on high asset quality. It is this strength
and discipline - together with the successful completion of our
Transform 2019 strategy - that allowed us to keep supporting our
clients and communities when they needed us most.
In 2020, we delivered an underlying net profit of €1.3bn, successfully
navigating an extraordinary year from a position of strength. We
delivered lower costs and provisions, with a stated cost of risk well
within guidance, at 105bps. Our Non Core rundown is fully on track
and we confirm the strength of our balance sheet, with very strong
capital and liquidity positions. All this would not have been possible
without your unwavering support and the steadfast commitment of
UniCredit colleagues.

Looking to the future
As the world adjusts to the changes brought about and accelerated
by the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a clear need for companies
investing in a long-term vision that is shared with all their
stakeholders. This includes the financial services industry: banks
will continue to play a very important role in ensuring that local
companies have access to adequate funding.
UniCredit has shown the importance of pan-European banks,
combining strong global products and local excellence. Our long-
term focus is on being One Bank. The Group will continue to
leverage on technology to accelerate the digital and remote banking
transformation, while focusing on sustainability: continuing to look
beyond purely economic profit to consider social impact banking
initiatives and other community support.
This is the last time that I will address you as the UniCredit CEO.
I am very happy that Andrea Orcel is joining the Group as my
successor. He will be supported by a fantastic team, loyal clients
and supportive shareholders. My warmest regards go to all my
outstanding colleagues, who have worked relentlessly to transform
the bank. I am immensely proud of everything that we have
achieved together.
UniCredit is a very strong bank and all our stakeholders can count
on us. We will continue to “Do the Right Thing!” to support our
clients, communities and our team members, in order to create
value for our shareholders.
Thank you!

SUPPORTING ECOMMERCE
In 2020, UniCredit launched several success initiatives
to support clients. These include STARTUP ACADEMY,
a managerial programme for 60 Italian startups,
a series of events focused on the ESG aspects of
corporate financing attended by over 1,100 clients
from Italy, Germany, Austria and the CEE, and ITALY
TECH DAY 2020, an annual event to showcase Italian
innovation and support the startup industry.
UniCredit partnered with Google to develop
UniCredit Easy ECommerce to help Italian
companies access to digital markets and boost
their B2C e-commerce. Only 30% of Italian
companies have an e-commerce website and
just 10% currently sell online, creating a huge
digital opportunity.
For our Clients
2020 was a challenging year for clients of all
sizes. From billion euro funding programmes
for multinational companies to mentoring
new start-up businesses, UniCredit was
committed to being part of the solution.
STAYING ON TRACK WITH
€600 MILLION
UniCredit supported Italy’s state-
owned railways operator - Ferrovie
dello Stato - by raising €600 million
of new funding. This included a €200
million ESG loan to fund new electric
trains and upgrade on-board safety
systems.
ACCESSING CAPITAL
MARKETS
UniCredit continued to help clients
access capital markets including those
of the Republic of Austria, the Free
State of Bavaria, the German State
of North Rhine Westphalia and the
European Investment Bank. UniCredit
also supported the Italian Ministry
of Finance with record breaking BTP
issuance to help the country fund it’s
pandemic response and was joint
bookrunner on a €17 billion social
bond for the EU.
€10 MILLION OF NEW FINANCING FOR
A 100-YEAR OLD PASTA PRODUCER
The loan was used to meet the working capital
needs of Gragnano-based Pastificio Di Martino.
It was also the first large loan issued under
Italy’s guaranteed loans programme.
“ Thanks to this deal, we can
better absorb the shock to our
production chain from the spread
of Covid-19, meet our working
capital needs and ensure the
continuity of operations and the
supply of our products”.

FAMILIES
To ensure the bank understood
individual and family needs
stemming from the Covid-19 crisis
and identify possible solutions,
UniCredit formed a new Family
Board. The 20 person team meets
regularly and has made a series of
recommendations, on flexibilities,
psycho-physical wellbeing,
homeschool/homework support.
NEW WAYS OF WORKING
In October, UniCredit and the
UniCredit European Works Council
signed a joint declaration on remote
work. This will allow the Group to
extend the opportunities offered
by technological advancements
and enable new ways of working to
support a better work-life balance
and greater efficiency.
For our Colleagues
Throughout 2020, we made decisions quickly
to protect our colleagues. We distributed
millions of items of PPE to our branches
and offices, and with fast IT upgrades, we
rolled out new laptops and remote access to
around 80,000 UniCredit employees, allowing
them to work safely and effectively.
SUPPORTING OUR
BRANCH HEROES
TURNING IDEAS
INTO ACTION
Thanks to our branch heroes,
UniCredit remained open for business
and continued to serve customers
in all our countries, while keeping
clients and our people safe. During
the lockdown, UniCredit’s CEO and
other members of the Executive
Management Committee made
hundreds of video calls to branch
colleagues across Italy, Austria,
Germany and the CEE to recognise
their extraordinary efforts.
UniCredit’s Millennial Board –
comprised entirely of employees
aged 22-32 – continued to
implement some of the 1,200 ideas
and suggestions made by their
UniCredit colleagues. Successful
initiatives in 2020 included starting
planting more than 90,000 trees to
establish the UniCredit Forest.

of external organisations for our progress.
LEADING THE WAY ON
GREEN FINANCE

sector, UniCredit participated to the
placement of nearly €120 bn of
sustainable bonds and loans in 97

A NEW GOAL FOR COAL
FUNDING THE FUTURE
UniCredit’s updated coal policy,
which will see the bank fully exit
coal sector financing by 2028,
was praised as best-in-class by
Reclaim Finance, a non-profit
organisation focused on reducing
financing of fossil fuels by the
world’s largest financial institutions.
Throughout 2020 we supported
companies and projects that are
supporting the transition to a
lower carbon future. This included
€700 million of new funding for a
renewable energy portfolio, a €143
million funding package for one of
Austria’s largest wind farms and
financing support to build Europe’s
largest battery factory.

It wasn’t just employees that moved
into UniCredit's new Austrian

Q&A
Roberta Marracino
HEAD OF GROUP ESG
STRATEGY & IMPACT BANKING
28
2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Taking stock of the challenges of 2020, which in many
ways further contributed to the growing significance of
ESG, our Group Head of ESG Strategy and Impact Banking,
Roberta Marracino, explains UniCredit’s commitment
to sustainability and why that’s important.
Q. There has been a lot of talk about ESG issues by different
companies, but what does ESG mean to you and to UniCredit?
A. Firstly, you are absolutely right. The importance of ESG
continues to grow and this is causing all companies to rethink
their business models in many ways. For UniCredit, sustainability
is not something new. Nevertheless, today we have set very
ambitious targets including the full phase-out from the coal
sector by 2028, which goes to show our growing efforts and
commitment.
Sustainability is part of our DNA and we continue to further
incorporate ESG factors in the decision processes across the
business and our operations, which is fundamental for long-term
value creation and helps us drive positive change in society.
For me, ESG is a “hard” discipline rather than “soft”, because
it has to be fully integrated in the business model. It is crucial
in helping us respond to market and societal challenges, as it
plays a key role in how we support our clients, colleagues, and
communities now and in the future.
Q. How did 2020 change the ESG landscape and what does
that mean for the industry going forward?
A. The challenges of 2020 showed once and for all that ESG is
prominent and here to stay and will only grow in its importance.
It is something that every company must take into consideration
and adapt their approach accordingly. Furthermore, the business
opportunity is clear and not one companies can afford to miss.
In addition, we’ve seen the growing importance of the “S”
component in ESG. In fact, the interaction and intersection
between “E” and “S” are increasingly relevant and their impact is
often combined.
Going forward, sustainability will become more and more embedded
across society impacting client demand and expectations. This
will be reflected in changing client behaviours, investor attitudes,
and the regulatory context as well as the significant amount of
ESG-relevant upcoming national and supranational investments.
We are starting to see a mounting sensitivity of both retail and
corporate clients to ESG topics, particularly on the environmental
side, and we expect this trend to grow in 2021 and beyond.
29
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts
Q. What role does ESG play in helping UniCredit progress
towards its strategic goals?
A. ESG is instrumental in helping us ensure our corporate values
are concretely implemented across the whole business from
lending to risk management as well as in our short-and long-term
incentive plans.
ESG helps us live and deliver on our values and continually grow our
impact in the community.
This is evident in our approach to partner with our clients in the
transition to a low carbon economy as well as in the activities of
our Social Impact Bank and the UniCredit Foundation aimed at
supporting the more vulnerable parts of our territories and helping
them access finance and grants and nurture their projects. It is also
evident in our strong corporate governance and in our continued
focus on diversity and inclusion both internally and externally.
Defining clear ESG metrics and targets, as we are doing, helps a lot
in setting the overall direction.
Q. Finally, how is UniCredit helping to advance sustainability
within the financial sector?
A. Playing our role as part of the solution within the wider industry
is key. To that end, UniCredit belongs to several institutional
and international working groups with specific monitoring
requirements also for our ESG progress, including the Task
Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, Principles for
Responsible Banking, and the OECD Business for Inclusive Growth
Coalition. This is important to ensure a consistent global ambition
towards increased sustainability with a long-term view that takes
into account the needs of our future generation.
We are all working towards common standards and definitions of
“green” and “sustainable”, setting the right direction to help all
the companies in our sector raise the bar together. Making this a
common goal, helps us all reach it faster.
FUNDING THE FUTURE
Throughout 2020, we supported companies and projects in the transition to a more
sustainable economy: we have an exposure of more than 6 billion in the renewable energy
sector and we have participated in the financing of more than 64 billion loans linked to
sustainability goals.

For our Colleagues
Throughout 2020, we focused on protecting our people:
we provided them with millions of PPE items and
fast IT upgrades, rolling out new laptops and remote
access to around 80,000 UniCredit employees, to
make sure they could work safely and effectively.
PROTECTING OUR
PEOPLE
To best understand what our
people and their families needed
in order to face the Covid-19
crisis, UniCredit created a Family
Board: the 20-person team meets
regularly to define solutions and
recommendations in terms of
flexibility, wellbeing and other
support (i.e. homeschooling/
homework).

Macroeconomic situation, banking and financial markets
International situation
In 2020 the world economy faced an unprecedented economic contraction, triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, that forced governments to adopt
drastic containment measures to flatten their epidemiological curves at the cost of severe economic recessions. April was the month of the Great
Lockdown, when global economic activity halted almost completely, with services sectors like restaurants, hospitality and retail trade being hit
hardest. Most economies recorded double digit GDP contractions in first half 2020 and recovered part of the lost ground in second half 2020, despite
a second wave of contagion.
The Covid-19 shock was countered by an equally unprecedented policy response from both monetary and fiscal authorities. In order to contain the
economic losses, governments have adopted ambitious fiscal responses aimed at curbing unemployment and supporting the most vulnerable
sectors. Expansionary fiscal policies were coupled with the introduction of government-guaranteed bank lending to allow firms to stay afloat during
the most challenging months. The increase in budget deficits and public debts will represent the lasting legacy of the current crisis. On top of that,
central banks intervened with the adoption of unconventional monetary policies on a massive scale.
Global growth is expected to contract by around 4% in 2020, with global trade contracting even more sharply, reflecting weak demand, the collapse
in cross-border tourism, and supply dislocations related to shutdowns. Global economic activity rebounded strongly in third quarter 2020, driven by
rising household consumption, and reflecting the easing of Covid-19-related restrictions across Europe and the US in the second half of second
quarter 2020 and the associated release of pent-up demand. Economic activity in third quarter 2020 remained well below pre-crisis levels almost
everywhere, with GDP in the eurozone and the US around 4.5% and 3.5% below fourth quarter 2019 levels, respectively, while China’s GDP was
3.5% above pre-crisis levels. China will be the only major economy that will post positive growth in 2020, with real GDP expanding by 2.3%. The
Japanese economy, despite a less intense Covid-19 shock than other advanced economies, will likely experience a 5.6% contraction.
Eurozone’s GDP approximately contracted by cumulated 15 percentage points in first half 2020, amid Covid-19 containment measures and the
associated extreme uncertainty. Thanks to a sharp rebound in second half 2020, the contraction for the whole 2020 will amount to around 7.0%. The
restrictions that were adopted since October 2020 to contain the second wave of contagion were less stringent and better targeted than those of the
first wave. Industrial activity fared relatively well, while the most-exposed service sectors were hit rather hard. Although the health shock was
symmetric, national economies were hit asymmetrically as a result of diverging policy responses due to different room of fiscal maneuver. Among
the largest eurozone economies, France, Italy and Spain experienced deeper contractions than Germany and the Netherlands.
The total impact of the Covid-19 shock on inflation has been to the downside as demand weakness has prevailed over supply-side bottlenecks.
The European Central Bank (ECB) adopted an ambitious monetary package to support the eurozone economy. It expanded its existing QE program
of €20 billion of monthly purchased by €120 billion until end-2020. Moreover, the ECB introduced an additional €750 billion asset purchase program
of private and public sector securities called Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (“PEPP”) and more favorable conditions for its TLTRO-III
between June 2020 and June 2021, with interest rates that can go as low as 50bp below the average deposit facility rate. In addition, the ECB
introduced a new liquidity facility Pandemic Emergency Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (“PELTRO”). On June 4, the weaker inflation outlook in
the ECB’s June projections prompted the Governing Council to expand the size of the PEPP by €600 billion to €1,350 billion. On 10 December, the
ECB Governing Council extended the duration and scale of several monetary policy instruments, reflecting a weaker inflation outlook. The
recalibration of the ECB's instruments included: (i) increase in the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) by €500 billion to €1,850 billion
and extension of its duration to at least the end of March 2022 (from June 2021) and (ii) the relaxation of the terms of existing lending facilities, for
TLTRO-III and for the eligibility criteria applicable to guarantees up to June 2022 (from June 2021).
With reference the US economy a contraction by around 3.5% is expected in 2020. It registered a record expansion of 7.5% qoq (non-annualised) in
third quarter 2020 following a record contraction of 9.0% in second quarter. Strong federal government support for incomes earlier in the year,
including direct payments to households and generous enhanced unemployment benefits established through the CARES Act, significantly
contributed to the strength of the recovery. The Fed has immediately intervened by lowering federal funds rate by 150bp to -0.25bp, reducing the
cost of discount window lending, introducing facilities to support the flow of credit and decreasing existing cost of swap lines with major central banks
and extended the maturity of FX operations. In its latest meetings of 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee - “FOMC” decided to leave rates,
forward guidance and the pace of asset purchases all unchanged.

Banking and financial markets
In 2020, in the eurozone loans to the private sector began to accelerate in March, growing on an annual basis at a rate of 4.7% in December
compared to 3.7% at the end of 2019. This acceleration in loans to the private sector was driven by growth of loans to non-financial corporations, up
by 7.0% on an annual basis in December, compared to growth of around 3% at the end of 2019. Loans to households, on the other hand, were
characterised by a decline in the rate of expansion, to just above 3% yoy in December, mainly reflecting a weakening of household purchases.
Given the context of deep weakness in economic activity, induced by the negative impacts of the restrictions introduced to stem the spread of
Covid-19, and the deterioration in investment prospects, the acceleration of loans to non-financial corporations was supported by guarantees
introduced by national governments.
While in the first part of 2020 the dynamics of loans to the private sector showed a fairly homogenous trend among the main reference countries of
the UniCredit group (Austria, Germany and Italy), divergences emerged towards the end of the year. The evolution of loans remained positive in
Germany, but the growth rate of loans to non-financial corporations showed a slowing trend in the second half of the year compared to the end of
2019, while the growth rate of household loans stabilised just above 4.5%. Similar trends characterised credit aggregates in Austria, while in Italy,
corporate loans accelerated sharply in the second half of 2020, with a growth rate, on an annual basis, of around 8.0%, compared to a decrease of
1.5% at the end of 2019. Increasing recourse to guaranteed credit, which continued throughout 2020, appears to be the factor behind this
acceleration. In contrast, loans to households showed a general slowdown in Italy, with gradual recovery towards the end of the year (+2.2% yoy in
December).
With regard to bank funding at the system level, deposits from households and non-financial corporations showed strong acceleration in 2020 and in
all three main reference Countries of the UniCredit group. The increase in deposits, and in particular in sight deposits, primarily reflected firms’ wish
to accumulate a liquidity buffer and a sharp increase in household savings as a consequence of the pandemic and directives to stay at home and for
precautionary reasons, given a deterioration of prospects in the labor market, and as a consequence of the very low interest rate environment.
The European Central Bank (ECB) approved bold measures in 2020 aimed at countering the effects of the pandemic and supporting the economy
and guaranteeing the availability of credit to households and businesses, with the latest intervention a recalibration of the conditions of the bank’s
asset purchase program and long-term liquidity operations, approved in December. Consequently, for the most part, bank interest rates showed a
trend towards reduction/stabilization in all three UniCredit reference countries. Interest rates on sight deposits remained close to zero throughout
2020.
The evolution of the pandemic was the main factor driving the performance of financial markets during 2020. The introduction of restrictions in spring
to curb the spread of the contagion was accompanied by a sudden deterioration in the performance of financial markets in a context of growing risk
aversion. The easing of containment measures towards the end of first half prompted a recovery of market performance and then stabilization. A
return to levels closer to where they were prior to the onset of the pandemic materialised towards the end of the year as positive news on vaccines
offset an increase in risk aversion related to the beginning of the second Covid-19 wave in the fall. As a consequence, the Italian stock exchange
closed 2020 with a loss of only around 5% compared to December 2019. At the height of risk aversion in spring it was down by around 35%. The
Austrian stock exchange registered a decline of around 13% year-to-date in December after dipping around 50% in spring. The German stock
exchange outperformed the other two and was even able to record an improvement of 3.5% year-to-date in December 2020.
CEE countries
CEE was significantly affected by the Covid-19 crisis. In 2020, GDP fell in all CEE countries but Turkey, where the economy grew by around 1.2%,
around 3pp below potential growth. In the rest of the region, the GDP contraction is expected ranged between 1.1% in Serbia to almost 4.0% in
Russia and around 5.0% in EU-CEE1 and the western Balkans.
The health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic led to a deeper slump in the second quarter 2020 than that which occurred during the global
financial crisis. Economies that are more reliant on domestic demand and that benefitted from timely government support were more resilient than
the small, open economies in central Europe. The recovery in the third quarter was proportional to the second quarter slump but incomplete. In the
fourth quarter 2020, GDP is expected to decrease again in most CEE countries due to lockdowns imposed in response to the second wave of the
Covid-19 pandemic, both domestically and by the CEE’s largest European economic partners.

Consolidated report on operations
Group results
To mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on the economy, governments in the region introduced very significant support packages which ranged from
around 3.0% to close to 11% of GDP. These packages included direct measures, such as labour-market support, tax exemptions and deferrals, and
sectoral support, and indirect measures, for example moratoria on loan repayments, guarantees for lending and lower borrowing costs. Central
banks cut interest rates significantly in most countries and introduced also bond purchases programs.
Support measures helped avert a sharp rise in unemployment, with furlough and part-time work schemes helping cushion the blow to household
income. This, in turn, helped avoid large declines in house prices and returned durable goods purchases to pre-pandemic levels before year-end.
Main results and performance for the period
Introduction
The year was marked by the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, which had a major impact on the community, the employees, and the customers. The
first negative consequences on the international and domestic economic activity, related to the spreading of the virus, started to be known, with un-
avoidable impacts on the Group profit, already from the first months of 2020.
From the main effects of Covid-19 observed, important to be noticed are the following:
• negative impacts on the retail loans demand and on the corporate loans interest rates, even following the facilitation of loans with state
guarantees, with resulting decrease on the interest margin; about the customer loans moratorium, they didn’t significantly affect the interest
margin;
• decreases of the commissions, in all service areas;
• additional costs, specifically for devices and equipment needed for the employee’s protection and for a massive transfer to a remote way of
working (smart working).
• worsening of the cost of risk because of higher provisions on loans. The current environment continues to be characterised by highly
uncertain elements, with the possibility that the slowdown of the economy, jointly with the termination of the safeguard measures, such as the
customer loans moratorium, generate a worsening of the loan portfolio quality, followed by an increase of the non-performing loans and the
necessity to increase the provisions to be charged to the income statement. In this respect during 2020, €5.0 billion loan loss provisions have been
detected, of which €2.2 billion overlay, as described in the following paragraph “Net write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees and
commitments”.
In relation to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group ensured an effective operational response, thanks to the acceleration and the
strengthening of some digitalization initiatives already provided for by the plan’s strategic guidelines, with the aim to increase the product range and
services accessible remotely by the customers and to improve the service level granted by all the channels operating as a complement of the
physical network of branches. The digital transformation plan of the Bank has been furtherly accelerated through a new investments’ series aimed
at:
• increase the activation and use of digital services and of our mobile App;
• strengthen the contact center role through the full integration with the other channels also leveraging on new technologies;
• evolve the financial advice making available a large range of products and services remotely;
• accelerate the digital experience for the enterprises through a single-entry point (Corporate portal) and redesigning specific “customer journeys”.
These initiatives are part of a wider customer service model review that is evolving from a setting mainly based on the physical interaction to a
model where the Bank/Customer interaction will be designed basing on the needs and preferences of the latter.
Furthermore measures to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of all stakeholders have been activated, including, for example, the “smart
working” massive adoption for the employees of the headquarters and specific measures for the access and use of the branches.
The financial objectives of Team 23, in the light of the worsening macroeconomic context and cost of risk reviewed estimates, can no longer be
considered as reachable for 2020 and no longer valid for 2021, while confirming the strategic priorities communicated last December 2019. It has to
be considered however that the current picture of strong uncertainty and volatility, does not allow yet to pursue an overall final valuation of the
impacts on the medium-long term objectives of the Plan, to determine whether also these ones are still valid or not. The needed analysis started
during the second part of the year, will probably be finalised during the next months, after the new Board of Directors begins its activity.
During 2020 the Group’s activity, with the purpose of maximizing the added value for the investors, was oriented towards realizing the strategic
priorities of the plan Team 23, whose validity, as mentioned above, was still fully confirmed.

In detail, the 4 main strategic pillars of “Team 23” are:
• Grow and strengthen client franchise;
• Transform and maximize productivity;
• Disciplined risk management & controls;
• Capital and balance sheet management.
Also, because of a financial-economic context deteriorated by the Covid-19 crisis, the Group recorded in 2020 a net loss of €2,785 million, compared
with the €3,373 million of net profit achieved in 2019.
The net loss of the Group in 2020 was also impacted by the accounting of some non-recurring items, amounting to about -€4 billion net of taxes and
minorities; more specifically:
• with negative impact, -€1,272 million (-€1,347 million gross) due to severance for the personnel in Italy, as planned by “Team 23”, -€1,576 million
(including transfer charges for -€3 million) for charges related to the sales of 20.95% of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.Ş. and resulting unwinding of Joint
Venture agreements, -€99 million for negative profits on investment stemmed out from impairment of real estate assets of the Non Core division,
• -€500 million (-€535 million gross) for loan loss provisions related to the effects quantification of the new European rules concerning the Definition
of Default, -€878 million for devaluation of goodwill of CIB division carried out in the fourth quarter 2020 and additional -€20 million (-€18 million
gross) for other write-downs;
• with positive impact, €296 million (€466 million gross, including -€49 million of PPA) connected with real estate disposal in Germany.
Similarly, on the 2019 net result, the following non-recurring items, amounting to a total of approximately -€1.3 billion net of taxes and minorities, had
an effect:
• with negative impact, -€194 million (-283 million gross) for changes related to disposal of Ocean Breeze Group, €1,055 million of increased write-
downs of “Non Core” non performing credit exposures resulting from the update of Group rundown strategy, -€365 million related to agreements
for the conclusion of the Joint Venture with Koç Financial Services and the disposal of 9.02% of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.Ş., -€319 million (-€436
million gross) integration costs for leaving incentives of workers in Germany and Austria, -€208 million (-€222 million gross) for write-downs
recognised on intangible assets, -€203 million (-€204 million gross) for assets devaluation of Non Core division and a total of -€214 million for other
net investment losses
• with positive effect, €1,176 million (€1,178 million gross, including -€62 million of PPA) from disposal of FinecoBank S.p.A. (including the related
deconsolidation for €1,287 million, valuation of the trademark and pledges provided) and €79 million (€103 million gross) for adoption of fair value
model and revaluation model for the measurement of Group Real Estate portfolio respectively held for investment and used in business.
Net of the mentioned non-recurring items, the Group recorded an underlying net profit of €1,264 million, compared with €4,675 million of underlying
net profit of 2019.
As already mentioned before, this trend was also negatively impacted by the already mentioned loan loss provisions on loans (overlay) for -€2.2
billion (-€2.0 billion net of tax and minorities).
Operating income
In 2020 Group’s revenues were €17,140 million, decreasing by 9.0% versus 2019 (down by 8.3% at constant exchange rates).
The decrease was widespread among all the revenues items, mainly because of the different economical-financial conditions, resulted from the
Covid-19 crisis and the related lockdown measures.
Net interest was equal to €9,441 million, decreasing by 6.3% compared to prior year (down by 5.3% at constant exchange rates).
During 2020 net interest was characterised by a drop of the interest income on loans to customers, as well as by the reduction of the time value
component and of the interest on the non-performing loans as a consequence of the rundown actions on the Non Core portfolio.
In relation to the Covid-19 crisis in the first half of 2020 a growing loans demand in various countries of the Group has been recorded, while followed
by a sharp slowing down in the second half of the year, when the second wave of the pandemic and the related new lockdown measures that
heavily hit many of the economic and financial sector activities, generated an abrupt slowdown of the credit demand. Moratoriums on loans
prolongation has also slowed their normal turn over; it is worth to underline, in any case, that these moratorium generated a suspension of the
repayments of the granted loans, but not of the active interests accrual and therefore they didn’t generate negative impacts on the net interest
margin.
In this context we assisted furthermore at a widespread reduction of the loans interest rates, particularly obvious in the CEE countries and in CIB
division. The rates of the latter, in particular, have been affected by the decrease of the Libor rate, together with the effect of the loans with state
guarantees that imply, in general, rates more favorable for the customers than the ordinary ones.
The loan spreads have been negatively affected by the situation, with the decrease of customer loans interest rates being only minimally mitigated
by the decrease of deposit interest rates.

Customer loans volumes dynamic shows decreasing results of €32.0 billion, or down 6.6%, going from €482.6 billion at 31 December 2019 to
€450.6 billion at 31 December 2020. This decrease is due as well, to €1.1 billion from the Non Core division, where the initiatives related to the
Group rundown strategy of non-performing loans (NPE) were continued, with the objective of the complete run off by the year 2021.
The customer loans excluding the repos component, showed a contraction in 2020 of €9.6 billion, or down by 2.3% compared to last year (down by
1.4% at constant exchange rates).
The decrease of the customers loans net of repos involved all the countries of the Group, with Italy, which shows the Commercial Banking division
decreasing by 2.0% compared with 2019 and the Non Core division dropping 58.9% driven by portfolio rundown actions, in the scope of the
complete run off strategy as above highlighted.
CEE division decreased by 8.4% compared with 2019, or 3.2% at constant exchange rates. Particularly noticeable are the decreases in Russia
(down by 32.2% or down by 11.3% at constant exchange rates), Bosnia (down by 11.4%), Slovenia (down by 9.6%), Romania (down by 4.1%, or
down by 2.4% at constant exchange rates) and Croatia (down by 2.0% or down by 0.5% at constant exchange rates).
Customer loans volumes excluding the repos component, were stable in Commercial Banking Germany (0.0%) compared with last year, while
Commercial Banking Austria suffered a decline by 2.7%.
As a contra tendency, the customers loans net of repos of CIB division were up by 2.0%, compared to previous year, also as a consequence of the
relevant liquidity needs of companies, induced by the lockdown restrictions adopted in order to reduce the spreading of Covid-19.
Deposits from customers, equal to €498.4 billion, have been growing of €27.9 billion or 5.9% (up by 6.9% at constant exchange rates) compared to
2019. The increase was also higher for the deposits from customers net of repos, mounting in 2020 up by 9.4% (up by 10.5% at constant exchange
rates) in comparison to 2019. More specifically the deposits from customers net of repos grew in all divisions of the Group, with Commercial Banking
Italy Division up by 12.5%, Commercial Banking Germany Division up by 14.7%, Commercial Banking Austria Division up by 7.6% and CIB Division
up by 5.2%. The CEE Division recorded a growth of +0.8% (up by 7.5% at constant exchange rates), mainly driven by Serbia (up by 17.4% or up by
17.0% at constant exchange rates), Hungary (up by 14.8% or up by 26.4% at constant exchange rates), Slovenia (up by 8.9%), Bulgaria (up by
5.5%) and Croatia (up by 3.5%, or up by 5.1% at constant exchange rates), while decreases are seen in Czech Republic (down by 0.9%, but up by
2.3% at constant exchange rates) and Russia (down by 16.1%, but up by 9.7% at constant exchange rates).
Dividends and other income from equity investments (which include the profits of the companies accounted at equity method) in 2020 amounted to
€415 million, decreasing by €222 million, or down by 34.8% (down by 35.9% at constant exchange rates) compared with 2019. The drop is
substantially due to the lower contribution of Yapi Kredi, with a remaining share quota, after the disposal, finalised in the first quarter 2020, reduced
from 41% to 20% and, compared to 2019, in the absence of the contribution of Mediobanca, following the sale of the participation in the fourth
quarter of 2019 and at last, to the profitability drop of the participated Austrian banks (Bank fuer Tirol und Vorarlberg Actiengesellschaft, BKS Bank
Ag, Oberbank Ag), as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The net fees and commissions of 2020 amounted to €5,976 million, decreasing by -5.2% (down by 4.8% at constant exchange rates) compared to
the previous year.
In particular, the investment services recorded a decline of -€106 million, or down by 4.5% in comparison to 2019 (down by 4.4% at constant
exchange rates), mainly due to the assets under management diminished sales, impacted by the lockdown periods.
Financing services are decreasing too by -€79 million, or down by 4.7% compared to 2019 (down by 4.0% at constant exchange rates), mainly as an
effect of the lower credit protection insurance commissions.
The transactional services fees suffered the largest decrease, -€143 million (down by 6.3% in comparison to 2019; down by 5.7% at constant
exchange rates), mainly due to the lower performance of debit and credit cards fees, payment fees and damage insurance products fees. Debit and
credit cards commissions were particularly impacted by the effects of Covid-19, that provoked a general decreasing of number of transactions and
the implementation of temporary penalizing measures from some of the National Banks (for example ATM withdrawals without commission, in
Croatia).
In 2020 also the net trading income decreased by -€257 million, moving from €1,669 million in 2019 to €1,412 million in the current year (down by
15.4%, or down by 14.4% at constant exchange rate). The drop is mainly derived from client’s activity, particularly from the operations on stock
market, partially mitigated by the results of the activities non-related to customers, mainly thanks to earnings on sales of securities measured at fair
value through other comprehensive income and to the results of the operations on exchange rates derivatives.
Finally, in 2020, the net other expenses/income were in a negative amount of €104 million, compared with the positive results of €156 million of
2019.

Operating costs
Group’s operating costs in 2020 were equal to €9,805 million, decreasing by 1.2%, or -€124 million compared to 2019 (down by 0.7% at constant
exchange rates), thanks to the continuation of the staff resizing initiatives and the administrative expenses control actions. The year was impacted
by approximate -€136 million of extraordinary costs connected to Covid-19, net of which the decreasing compared to the same period of the prior
year would have been down by 2.6%.
In detail, the staff expenses in 2020 were €5,968 million, decreasing by 2.9% over 2019 (down by 2.4% at constant exchange rates).
This result was achieved mainly thanks to approximate €123 million savings on the variable component, jointly with the positive effect of the
persistent dynamic of employee’s reduction, characterised by a drop of 2,138 FTEs (equivalent to a drop of 1,282 FTEs average) compared to 2019,
equal to a decrease of 2.5%.
The other administrative expenses in 2020 amounted to €3,223 million, decreasing by 1.7% or €56 million in comparison to 2019 (down by 1.2% at
constant exchange rates). Lower costs have been recorded mainly among the expenses related to personnel (in particular on the travel expenses
thanks to the restrictive policies for the contrast of Covid-19 adopted by the Group), communication and marketing expenses, consulting and credit
recovery expenses, the later thanks to the non performing portfolio reduction actions. These savings more than mitigated the extraordinary
protection expenses from Codiv-19 that the Group had to account for in this period, particularly expenses for the acquisition of sanitary protection
equipment, building disinfection, interventions on the IT infrastructure and security systems, donations.
The expenses recovery in 2020 amounted to €523 million, decreasing in comparison to €592 million of last year (down by 11.7%). In particular, the
drop was mainly related to the credit inquiries of the Non Core Division, as a consequence of the rundown actions that have diminished the non-
performing exposures and that, consequently, implied the drop of the correspondent expense recoveries.
Finally, in 2020 were posted write-downs on tangible and intangible assets for €1,137 million, increasing by €41 million (up 3.7%) in comparison to
the €1,096 million posted in 2019.

Due to the decline of the revenues, the Group gross operating profit of €7,335 million, showed a decrease of 17.7% compared to 2019 (down by
16.8% at constant exchange rates).
The cost income ratio of 2020 amounted to 57.2%, worsening by 4.5 percentage points over the previous year, or by 4.4 percentage points net of
the non-recurring components which impacted 2019.

Net write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees and commitments
Net write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees and commitments of the Group of 2020 were €4,996 million, compared to €3,382 million of
2019 (up by 47.7% or up by 48.9% at constant exchange rates).
The growth is due to loan loss provisions overlay for €2.2 billion about which, with reference to the component related to performing loans, it shall be
mentioned that, as at 31 December 2020, as already carried out in March 2020, the Group has updated the macroeconomic scenarios used for loan
loss provision calculation in compliance with IFRS9 that requires to consider the future evolution of the economic cycle also recurring to multiple
scenarios. In this context a base scenario, which is the central reference scenario considered most likely, a positive scenario and a negative
scenario have been elaborated. These positive and negative scenarios differ from the base scenario in term of evolution of the economies in which
the Group operates as a result of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemics, vaccine distribution and economic policies followed by the governments.
Always with reference to performing loans, on 31 December 2020, the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk, which determines the
classification of the credit exposures in Stage 2 and the resulting calculation of loan loss provision determined considering the overall residual life of
the credit exposures, has been performed considering indicators of counterparty financial strength and the economic sector, this in order to
represent the asymmetric effects that lockdown measures have on the different economic sectors and to grant a proper valuation of credit risk also
in the context of Moratoria measures that, by providing payment holidays, can defer the occurrence of events indicating a significant deterioration of
the counterparty credit quality.
For additional details refer to the Notes to consolidated accounts: Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 - General, Section 2 - General preparation criteria
for a description of the scenarios underlying the measurement of credit exposures and Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 -
Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk for a description of the topics concerning the assessment of significant increase in
credit risk.
With reference to the overlay component related to non-performing loans, it should be noted that their measurement considers possible selling
scenarios when Group strategy foresees the recovery through their disposal on the market. In this case the recoverable amount of exposures
classified as Bad loans and Unlikely to pay is determined considering the expected sale prices weighted for the probabilities of disposal evidenced
by the already mentioned Group strategy.
In this context, on 31 December 2020, the Group has updated its 2021 -2023 disposal plan by (i) confirming its intention, already manifested in 2019
financial year, to fully run-down the so called “Non Core” portfolio by the end of 2021 financial year and (ii) foreseeing the disposal of non-performing
loans belonging to the “Core” perimeter for which recovery was expected through the work-out. This circumstance has determined the recognition of
additional write-downs mainly related to the Core portfolio.
For additional details refer to paragraph “Aspects relating to the valuation of credit exposures as at 31 December 2020” of the Notes to the
consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 1 - Risks of the accounting consolidated perimeter, Quantitative
information.
Furthermore, the year was negatively impacted by the additional €535 million related to the quantification of the valuative effects correlated to the
new European rules on to the classification of the default clients (new Definition of Default).
Because of the higher provisions recorded in the year, the cost of risk was equal to 105 basis points, coherently with the market guidance, in
comparison to 71 basis points of 2019.
In particular, the Commercial Banking Italy Division recorded a cost of risk of 201 basis points, worsening by -125 basis points in comparison to
2019. The Commercial Banking Germany Division recorded 41 basis points, worsening by -29 basis points over last year and the Commercial
Banking Austria Division recorded 55 basis points, worsening by -46 basis points over 2019. The CIB Division showed a cost of risk of 51 basis
points, worsening by -43 basis points in comparison to 2019. Finally, the CEE Division highlighted a cost of risk of 150 basis points, worsening by -
83 basis points in comparison to 2019.
The Group gross impaired loans at 31 December 2020 decreased to €21.2 billion, lower by -€4.0 billion compared to 31 December 2019, thanks to
the continuous proactive risk reduction measures.
Thanks to this decrease, the gross non-performing loans on total loans ratio improved, moving from 5.04% of December 2019 to 4.55% of
December 2020. Gross bad exposure stock was at €7.6 billion, decreasing by -€4.9 billion over December 2019 (€12.5 billion).
The Group coverage ratio of the gross non-performing loans as of 31 December 2020 was 59.85%, decreasing in comparison to 65.24% (down 5.39
basis points) of December 2019, as an effect of the write offs and NPE disposals carried out during the year.

From net operating profit to profit before tax
The worsening of the operating profit (€7,335 million in 2020) and the increase of the net write-downs on loans and of provisions for guarantees and
commitments (-€4,996 million in 2020) have resulted in a Group’s net operating profit of €2,339 million, decreasing by €3,189 million compared to

Profit (Loss) attributable to the Group
In 2020, the Group’s income taxes line was recording -€344 million, in comparison to -€890 million of 2019.
Profit from discontinued operations net of taxes in 2020 was €49 million, in comparison to €1,383 million of last year. The 2019 figure included non-
recurring items to be excluded from the calculation of the underlying profit of €1,287 million connected to the FinecoBank S.p.A. sale and related
deconsolidation.
The loss for the period of 2020 was -€1,842 million, in comparison to €3,559 million of 2019.
Minorities, conventionally exposed with negative sign, were -€7 million against -€118 million of 2019.
Purchase price allocation was -€50 million, compared to -€68 million of 2019. -€49 million recorded in 2020 are related to the real estate sale in
Germany, while -€62 million recorded in 2019 were referred to the non-recurring component of the FinecoBank S.p.A. trademark devaluation.
In 2020 a goodwill impairment of €886 million has been recorded, for the most part related to €878 million of goodwill allocated to CIB division and
carried out in the fourth quarter of the year.
This impairment stems from the execution, at 31 December 2020, of the impairment test process in line with the IAS36 and in light of the ESMA
Public Statement of 28 October 2020 recommending issuers, in light of the significant level of uncertainty linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, to make
use of alternative scenarios.
Consequently, in addition to the valuation parameters updating in relation to the evidences available at the moment, the cash flows on which the
model is based have been determined considering a base scenario and a downturn scenario, on which have been applied appropriate weightings
indicative of the probability of occurrence. Furthermore, the model’s results have been the subject of a sensitivity analysis that showed as changes,
even limited, of the main parameters could produce relevant impacts on the tests’ results. This considered and in light of the meaningful uncertainty
level of the macroeconomic environment, the Group goodwill complete impairment has been carried out. It is worth to specify that this impairment
does not generate any impact neither on the regulatory capital (and on the tangible equity) nor on the amount of the distributed dividends.
Refer to Part B, Section 10 of the Notes to the consolidated accounts for further information.
Consequently, in 2020 the net loss attributable to the Group amounted to -€2,785 million, compared to the profit of €3,373 million of 2019. Net of
non-recurring items, the Group achieved a profit underlying of €1,264 million, compared to €4,675 million of 2019.

Principles of value creation and capital allocation
In order to create value for the shareholders, the Group’s strategic guidelines aim at optimising the composition of the business portfolio.
This goal is pursued through a process of capital allocation to each business line in relation to its specific risk profile and ability to generate
sustainable earnings measured as EVA (Economic Value Added), which is the main performance indicator linked to TSR (Total Shareholder
Return). The capital allocated to business segments is quantified applying internal capitalisation targets to regulatory capital requirements
(Regulatory Capital).
The development of Group operations with a view to value creation requires a process of allocating and managing capital governed by different
phases in the process of planning and control, articulated as:
• formulation of the proposed risk propensity and capitalisation targets;
• analysis of the risks associated with the value drivers and resulting allocation of capital to the business lines and to the Business Units;
• assignment of performance targets in line with risk;
• analysis of the impact on the Group’s value and of the creation of value for shareholders;
• drafting and proposal of the financial plan, capital plan and dividend policy.
The Group dynamically manages its capital base by monitoring regulatory capital ratios, anticipating the appropriate changes necessary to achieve
its defined targets, and optimising the composition of its assets and equity. Planning and monitoring refer, on the one hand, to the total Own Funds
(Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital) and new TLAC requirement and, on the other hand, to the Risk-Weighted Assets
(RWAs). The Risk-Weighted Assets, for portfolios managed using the internal advanced models, do not only depend on the nominal value of the
assets but also on the relevant credit parameters. Besides volume dynamics, it is also crucial to monitor and forecast the change in the asset quality
of the portfolio in view of the macroeconomic scenario (the so-called pro-cyclical effect).
Following the financial crisis that unfolded in 2007-2008, the European Union implemented a substantial reform of the financial services regulatory
framework to enhance the resilience of its financial institutions. This reform was largely based on international standards agreed in 2010 by the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, known as the Basel 3 framework. Among its many measures, the reform package included the adoption
of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council, which strengthened the prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms.

and Regulation (EU) No.876/2019. Therefore, the values here reported, related to 31 December 2020, reflect the impact of the transitional arrangements provisioned in such Regulation.
The positive change with respect to 31 December 2019, equal to €1.9 billion on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, mainly reflects: (i) the inclusion into
reserves of the dividends of 2019 (€1,404 million) no more distributed in line with the recommendation published by European Central Bank on 27
March 2020 (BCE/2020/19) whose effects have been extended until 1 January 2021 by the ECB recommendation published on 27 July 2020
(BCE/2020/35), (ii) positive effect for €2,648 million related to the IFRS9 transitional adjustments applied starting from June 2020, (iii) the exclusion
of the deduction related to goodwill following the full impairments (equal to €886) and the new exemption for the deduction from CET1 capital of
software assets in line with article 36 (1) (b) of CRR (equal to €707 million), (v) the loss of 2020 equal to €2,785 million and €268 million of deduction
related to the cash component of the dividends that the Board of Directors has proposed to distribute of the Shareholders' Meeting (v) the negative
change due to the payment of Additional Tier 1 capital instruments coupons (€326 million) and (vi) other negative impacts for €0.35 billion related to
minority interests, exceedance of 17.65% threshold on CET1, and deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and not arise from temporary
differences.
With reference to the Total Own Funds, the positive change with respect to 31 December 2019, equal to €0.5 billion, reflects in addition to the effects
on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital positive for €1.9 billion, the additional negative effects for €1.4 billion deriving from: (i) the new issuance of one
subordinated instrument classified in Additional Tier 1 Capital for €1,240 million, for any further details please refer to section Capital strengthening
of the Consolidated report on operations (ii) two new issuance of subordinated instruments classified as Tier 2 for €2,458 million (iii) negative effect
on Tier 2 Capital deriving from the authorization received by the competent authority to early redeem the instruments IT0005087116 and
XS0986063864 for €
3,464 million (iv) the combined negative effect (€725 million) of regulatory amortisation and exchange rate variance on instruments in USD, (v)
negative impact for €419 million that considers the effects of IFRS9 transitional adjustments and it is referred to the re-calculation of the excess of
the credit risk adjustments included in Tier 2 capital, (vi) other negative impacts for €0.4 billion mainly related to the change of the consolidation
method of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.Ş. from proportional to equity.

The above-mentioned requirements are the ones which are relevant for MDA purposes for UniCredit group as at 31 December 2020.
As at 31 December 2020, UniCredit group’s ratios are compliant with all the above requirements.
On 15 December 2020, updating the communication of 28 July 2020, the ECB published the Recommendation 2020/62 “on dividend distributions
during the Covid-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35”. The recommendation asks banks to “refrain from or limit dividends
until September 2021”; banks are asked to limit dividends to the lower between (i) 15% of cumulated 2019-20 adjusted profits and (ii) 20 basis points
of CET1 ratio. At UniCredit, the lower value is represented by the 15% (“ECB cap”) of the cumulated stated net profits for the years 2019 and 2020,
adjusted, as per ECB recommendation.
In particular, in accordance with the ECB recommendation, the cumulated 2019-20 adjusted profit at consolidated level, on which the 15% payout
ratio is applied, is calculated by adjusting the profit/loss result for the following items: (i) goodwill and intangible assets impairment, (ii) impairment of
deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and do not arise from temporary differences net of associated tax liabilities, (iii) reclassifications
from other comprehensive income into profit and (iv) distribution related to AT1 instruments charged against equity.
The amount resulting from such calculation is equal to a total amount of €447 million, whose distribution is envisaged for (i) 60% via cash dividends
(equal to €268 million) and for (ii) 40% via shares buy-back (equal to €179 million). The cash component is deducted from Own Funds as of fourth
quarter 2020, while the shares buy-back component will be deducted once the ECB authorization will be released.
2 It should be noted that UniCredit group was identified by the Banca d’Italia as an O-SII authorised to operate in Italy, and it has to maintain a CET1 capital buffer; such level is equal to 0.75% in 2020 and will reach the
target of 1.00% from 1 January 2021. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that according to the CRD IV article 131.14, the higher of the G-SII and the O-SII buffer will apply: hence, UniCredit group is subject to the
application of 1.00% G-SII buffer for 2020.
3 Amount rounded to two decimal numbers. With reference to 31 December 2020: (I) countercyclical capital rates have generally been set at 0%, except for the following countries: Czech Republic (0.50%); Hong Kong
(1.00%); Norway (1.00%); Slovakia (1.00%); Luxemburg (0.25%); Bulgaria (0,50%) (II) with reference to the exposures towards Italian counterparties, Banca d’Italia has set the rate equal to 0%.

Capital strengthening
On 12 February 2020 UniCredit S.p.A., taking advantage of the extremely positive market window, placed an issue of equity instruments Additional
Tier 1 (in particular Non-Cumulative Temporary Write-Down Deeply Subordinated Fixed Rate Resettable Notes), for a total amount of €1.25 billion
targeted to institutional investors.
The issue completed in advance the 2020 UniCredit's Funding Plan for these instruments and contributed to improve the Tier 1 ratio.
The securities are perpetual (with maturity linked to corporate duration of UniCredit S.p.A.) and may be called by the Issuer on 3 June 2027 and,
thereafter, on any interest payment date, subject to regulatory approval. Notes pay fixed rate coupons of 3.875% per annum up to June 2027 on a
semi-annual basis; if not called, coupon will be reset every 5 years to the aggregate of the then 5-Years Mid-Swap rate plus 408.1bps, calculated on
an annual basis and then converted to a semi-annual rate in accordance with market conventions. In line with the regulatory requirements, the
coupon payments are fully discretionary.
Moreover with reference to share capital, on 5 February 2020 the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A., by the powers conferred time by time by the
Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting pursuant to the art.2443 of the Italian Civil Code in order to execute the Group Incentive System, resolved a
free share capital increase of €65 million by issuing No.3,884,961 ordinary shares to be granted to the employees of UniCredit S.p.A. and of Group’s
banks and companies. The resolution to increase the share capital was registered with the Company Register on 27 March 2020 and the fully
subscribed and paid-up share capital of UniCredit S.p.A. currently amounts to €21,060 million and it is divided into No.2,237,261,803 ordinary
shares with no nominal value.
Shareholders’ equity attributable to the Group
The Shareholders’ equity of the Group, including the result of the period equal to -€2,785 million, amounted to €59,507 million as at 31 December
2020, compared to €61,416 million as at 31 December 2019.
The statement of changes in shareholders’ equity is included in the consolidated accounts.
The following table shows the main changes occurred in 2020.

Notes:
(1) The change in the valuation reserve of the companies accounted for using the equity method for +€726 million and in the reserve of non-current assets classified held-for-sale for +€658 million is mainly due to the
disposal of respectively 11.93% and 9.02% stake of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi AS with the consequent recycle mostly to profit or loss of these reserves basically referred to exchange rate differences on Turkish Lira.
(2) Mainly referred to drop in DBO discount rate induced by increase in prices of High Quality Corporate Bonds partially offset by plan assets performance.
(3) This effect is mainly due to the impact of Russian Ruble for -€681 million, Hungarian Forint for -€99 million and Czech Crown for -€81 million.

Non-financial information
The process aimed at strengthening the integration of sustainability in the business strategy, initiated in 2019, bore first important fruits with the
presentation by the CEO in November 2019 of a set of commitments and targets covering Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) topics.
Such process was greatly encouraged by the Corporate Governance Nominations & Sustainability (CGN&S) Committee and the Board of Directors
and involved different structures of the company. The inclusion of ESG-linked indicators in the Long Term Incentive Plan for the top management
was an important milestone of this process, with a weight of 10% on the variable compensation based on the assessment of three indicators: the
ranking in terms of ESG rating by an external rating agency, people engagement index and customer satisfaction index.
At UniCredit, the way financial results are achieved is as important as the results themselves.
The commitments bear witness that Sustainability is part of Group DNA and UniCredit is continuing to take concrete actions to fully integrate ESG
into the core activities of the bank.
Sustainability is recognised as a crucial component of bank’s success in the medium term.
At the end of 2020, UniCredit’s sustainability performance against key ESG targets gave positive results: as shown below, the Group has already
achieved some of them and is well on track for the ones remaining, again demonstrating the strategic importance that sustainability has for UniCredit
and all its employees, who work as One Team, One UniCredit to achieve the success of the Group.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has produced dramatic impacts on people, behaviors and the economy. UniCredit has taken decisive
actions to protect and support its employees and customers while remaining fully open for business across all geographies. Thanks to the unfailing
commitment of all team members, the Group has continued to serve its customers and the economies in which it operates.
Some pre-existing trends have been further accelerated in this context. On one hand, the Group’s strategic investments in technology lead to
successfully release to customers several digital features, boosting the digitalization process. Covid-19 acted as a catalyst on sustainability
momentum: sustainability materiality and ESG factors gained intensity, with Social and Governance components under the spotlight. The increasing
attention paid to the social impact of banking activities by the stakeholders is contributing to accelerate the transition towards a more ESG-driven
organization. In this context, regulators are playing a strategic role, offering a huge amount funds to achieve a sustainable recover.

Consolidated report on operations
Other information
UniCredit is already playing an important role in the ESG global framework, and as a leader in the sustainable finance sector, aims at guiding capital
reallocation towards economic activities which generate a positive impact on society. UniCredit wishes to be at the forefront of social change and
green transition, drafting a long-term sustainability strategy, embedding ESG factors in the risk framework and improving transparency.
In July 2020, UniCredit decided to further enhance the governance of ESG aspects and embed them in the overall business strategy by
strengthening the former sustainability function and creating a structure fully dedicated to ESG Strategy and Impact Banking. A new senior leader,
also member of the Executive Management Committee, was hired to cover this position.
The constant involvement and support from the Board of Directors and its committee dedicated to Corporate Governance, Nominations and
Sustainability are a clear signal that ESG topics play a central role in the strategic discussions. The CGN&S Committee is regularly updated on a
monthly basis on the ongoing implementation of the ESG strategy and provides guidance and sense of direction to senior management. Also, in
terms of governance, the Group has a number of policies in place that govern its functioning and set a clear framework that takes into account and
embraces stakeholders’ expectations. Among these policies worth mentioning, those against harassment, sexual misconduct, bullying and
retaliation stand out, paving the road to create a good working environment and respectful relations with all stakeholders. The Chief Ethics Officer, a
position created in 2019, oversees the application of these policies and the coordination of ethics-related activities at group level.
A long-term journey aimed at defining a new ESG strategy was launched and represents a key component of a wider ongoing strategic review.
This journey started with the review of the Group’s coal policy, that was issued in the third quarter of 2020 and sets an important and ambitious
target of complete phase-out from thermal coal financing by the end of 2028. Not only will the Group cease its support to projects, as was already
foreseen by the previous policy, but it will also close its relationships with customers that do not share its ambition of abandoning coal operations
(mining or production of electricity) within the same timeframe.
Our underlying goal is to integrate all ESG factors in the bank’s strategy, core business and processes, looking at both risks and market
opportunities and with a clear multi-stakeholders’ approach: this is UniCredit’s mandate and the main aim of the journey.
With the certainty that sustainability is a key priority for the Group and an underlying pillar of its long-term strategy and in order to reinforce our role
of a purpose-driven global leader, the core functions of the Group have been involved in a project to design and implement the journey towards the
definition of UniCredit’s new ESG strategy.

The implementation of the ESG 2023 roadmap and its communication plan are key priorities to fulfill UniCredit’s ambition in the next 3 years
The project team started its work by analyzing the ESG activities currently ongoing at all level of the organization and mapping them with a thorough
benchmarking against the most advanced peers in the banking system. The result of these activities was a list of the gaps that UniCredit wants to
close in the next three years, in order to fulfill its ambition of being recognised among the best banks in terms of ESG strategy and positioning.
The prioritization phase considered different variables, including the expectations of regulators and supervisors, the growing requirements from
institutional investors and the speed of change from our competitors. By analyzing these different views, we were able to define a list of initiatives
and create a detailed roadmap for the successful implementation of the plan. The definition of new ESG targets aligned with the renewed ambition of
the Group is ongoing and will be part of a wider communication plan that will follow the completion of the ESG strategy redefinition.
As an important part of this communication effort, we have started to review our Integrated Report. The 2020 report, that will be approved by the
Board of Directors in March, will have a renewed set up, and an even greater focus on Key Performance Indicators. A separate document dedicated
to disclosure aligned with TCFD recommendations will also be issued in the month of June.

On 29 March 2020 the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. resolved to withdraw, without modifying the Agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting
convened on 9 April 2020, the proposed resolutions to: (i) distribute a FY19 dividend of €0.63 per share from profit reserves, (ii) authorise a share
buyback up to €467 million (not exceeding €67 million UniCredit shares), and (iii) cancel the treasury shares that may be purchased under the above

them interest free loans up to the amount of dividends.
UniCredit top management decides to waive its entire 2020 bonus
On 31 March 2020 the UniCredit Remuneration Committee acknowledged the decision of UniCredit top management to waive their entire bonus for
the year 2020.
The equivalent amount will be contributed to UniCredit Foundation to support social initiatives. The Committee welcomed and appreciated the
responsible managerial decision, considering the uncertain impact on the European economy of the current Covid-19 epidemic.
Agreement with Italian Trade Unions related to Team 23 strategic plan
On 31 March 2020, UniCredit and Italian Trade Unions reached an agreement on the implementation of the "Team 23" strategic plan in Italy.

development of the multichannel offer of the Group, 800 FTEs will be requalified and reskilled for new professional roles.
As part of the agreement the Group commits to hiring 2,600 people over the next four years to ensure a positive generational turnover and digital
upskilling of the workforce. In addition, UniCredit will convert 900 apprenticeships into standard employment contract.
Anticipation of IFRS9 Covid-19 macroeconomic scenario update
To provide relevant guidance to all market participants, last 22 April 2020 UniCredit announced that it was anticipating the update of macroeconomic
assumptions underlying the IFRS9 calculation of generic Loan Loss Provisions (LLPs).
These assumptions have included the expected Covid-19 impact as well as the announced government and ECB mitigating actions and are aligned
with those published by UniCredit Economics Research on 2 April 2020 and also track closely, if somewhat more conservatively, those published by
the IMF on 14 April 2020.
As a result, in first quarter 2020 UniCredit booked an additional €0.9 billion generic LLPs and confirmed the outcomes for 30 June 2020 having
observed no significant changes in macroeconomic data used.
With reference to 31 December 2020, UniCredit has again updated the macroeconomic scenario underlying the calculation of write-down on loans,
for the description of the assumptions and methods adopted, please refer to the Consolidated financial statements - Notes to the consolidated
accounts - Part A - Accounting policies, Section 2 - General preparation criteria and to the Notes to the consolidated accounts - Part E - Information
on risks and hedging policies - Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter; moreover, reference should be made to the Consolidated
financial statements - Notes to the consolidated accounts - Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies - Section 1 - Risks of the accounting
consolidated perimeter - Quantitative information - Aspects relating to the valuation of credit exposures at 31 December 2020 for the evidence of the
write-downs on loans for the whole of 2020 related to the updating of the macroeconomic scenario.
S&P changed outlook to negative from stable
On 29 April 2020 UniCredit informed that the rating agency S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") has changed UniCredit S.p.A.'s outlook to negative (from
stable).
The “BBB” long- and “A-2” short-term credit ratings of UniCredit S.p.A. have been affirmed. The instrument ratings have been affirmed as well.
On 29 October 2020 UniCredit informed that the same rating agency affirmed UniCredit S.p.A.'s “BBB” long- and “A-2” short-term Issuer Credit
Ratings. The outlook remained at “negative”.
First EU-wide Transparency Exercise
On 8 June 2020 UniCredit noted the announcements on EU-wide Transparency Exercise.
At its meetings in April 2020, the EBA Board of Supervisors approved the package for the 2020 Spring EU-wide Transparency Exercise. The annual
transparency exercise was based solely on COREP/FINREP data on the form and scope to assure a sufficient and appropriate level of information
to market participants.
The templates were centrally filled in by the EBA and sent afterwards for verification by banks and supervisors. Banks had the chance to correct any
errors detected and to resubmit correct data through the regular supervisory reporting channels.
The 2020 Spring EU-wide Transparency Exercise covers two reference dates: 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2019.

Conversion of Deferred tax assets (DTAs) into tax credits
Referring to financial year 2019, UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. registered a loss in their separate financial statements; therefore,
there were the conditions for carrying out a new transformation of DTAs into tax credits pursuant to Art.2, paragraph 55, of Law Decree
No.225/2010. Thus, following their separate financial statements approval, UniCredit S.p.A. converted €87 million of DTAs into tax credit while
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. converted €13 million.
Following Covid-19 emergency, on 17 March 2020 was approved the Law Decree No.18 (so-called “Cura Italia”) providing special measures to
mitigate the effects of Covid-19 for taxpayers. In particular, the Art.55, on the basis of the disposal of non-performing loans to legal entities not
belonging to the Group carried out in 2020, gives the possibility to convert into tax credits components previously not admitted, specifically the DTAs
on Tax Losses Carried Forward (TCLF) and related to the “Aiuto alla Crescita Economica” (ACE) even if these DTAs are not recognised in the
financial statements. Pursuant to the mentioned Law Decree, €110 million of DTAs were converted into tax credits during 2020.
In order to preserve for the future the regime of conversion of DTAs into tax credits, and in order to overcome the issues raised by the European
Commission in connection to the application of State aid rules, Art.11 of Law Decree No.59/2016, converted into Law No.119/2016 (as modified by
Law Decree No.237/2016, converted in to Law No.15/2017) provides for the possibility, starting from 2016 till 2030, to elect for the payment of an
annual fee equal to 1.5% of an aggregate amount deriving from the difference between:
• the increase in convertible DTAs recognised at the end of the fiscal year and the convertible DTAs existing as at the end of 2007, for IRES tax,
and as at the end of 2012 for IRAP tax, taking into account the amounts already converted into tax credits (including those carried out pursuant to
Art.55 of Law Decree “Cura Italia”);
• taxes:
- IRES paid by tax group starting from 1 January 2008;
- IRAP paid registered starting from 1 January 2013 by Legal Entities included in Tax Group with convertible DTAs;
- substitute taxes that generated convertible DTAs.
The fee due for financial year 2020 has been paid on 26 June 2020 for an overall amount of €111.7 million relating to the whole Italian Tax Group, of
which €107.1 million for UniCredit S.p.A., €4.3 million for UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and €0.3 million for UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.

Consolidated report on operations
Subsequent events and outlook
Outlook
Global GDP is expected to grow by about 5% in 2021, following a contraction of about 4% in 2020. In the first quarter of the year, GDP growth will
still suffer from the negative impact of containment measures to curb the consequences of a possible third wave of Covid-19 pandemic, while a
recovery should begin to materialize in spring. However, until the vaccines become widely used, especially in Europe, precautionary behaviours
might persist, slowing a return to pre-crisis levels of economic activity. We expect a stronger outlook for the US economy, mainly fuelled by an
additional large dose of fiscal stimulus and more advanced progress in the vaccination campaign.
In the euro area, economic activity is expected to contract in the first quarter of 2021, after a GDP decline of 0.7% compared to the fourth quarter of
2020. GDP weakness will mainly affect domestic demand, in particular, private consumption and, to a lesser extent, investment, with firms partially
benefitting from resilient demand in non-EU countries. The expected recovery in 2021 is unlikely to bring activity back to pre-crisis levels by the end
of this year.
In terms of Italian GDP, we expect it to contract in the first quarter of 2021. GDP data for fourth quarter 2020 (which showed a contraction by 2.0%
compared to the previous quarter) highlighted the significant impact of restrictions on economic activity and, in particular, on the services sector and
the expectations are that restrictions will be maintained at least for the duration of the first quarter, before a recovery starts. The high amount of
uncertainty surrounding the impact of the crisis on the labour market is likely to moderate recovery in consumer confidence and private consumption.
In December, the ECB increased the size of its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) by €500 billion, to €1,850 billion, and extended the
program until at least March 2022. Given that we expect underlying inflation to be weak and new debt issuance for this year to be sizeable, the ECB
will probably have to remain in the market for a long time, and it is likely to remain vigilant in its efforts to maintain favourable financial conditions in
the euro area.
Even in a context still strongly influenced by the uncertainty about the evolution and end of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, the Group will continue to
steer its activity to the strategic plan “Team 23” execution, maintaining a strong discipline on risks and related controls, to allow the sustainable
returns’ achievement. In this perspective the improvement of the pan European client franchise and, at the same time, the continuous
costs and processes optimisation will continue to be key factors.
The Group will continue to keep a high level of capital, delivering growth of the tangible equity.
In this way UniCredit will prepare the best conditions for the taking office of the new Board of Directors, that will be appointed during the next
Shareholders Meeting set up for 15 April and that sees respectively Pietro Carlo Padoan and Andrea Orcel as the designated Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer.
Finally, as already done during 2020, the Group will keep the priority to protect the health of its employees and to support its customers and the
communities in which it operates, in order to best serve its shareholders.

General Meeting Draft of UniCredit S.p.A. and of the Consolidated Report and Accounts 2020 of UniCredit group).
Corporate Governance
Governance organisational structure
Introduction
UniCredit’s overall corporate governance framework, i.e. the system of rules and procedures that its corporate bodies refer to steer the principles of
their behaviour and fulfil their various responsibilities towards the Group’s stakeholders, has been defined in compliance with current national and
European provisions as well as the recommendations contained in the Italian Corporate Governance Code for listed companies (hereinafter, also
the “Code”). The Code, according to the major international markets’ experience, identifies the corporate governance standards and best practices
for Italian listed companies recommended by the Italian Corporate Governance Committee, to be applied according to the “comply or explain”
principle that requires the explanation in the corporate governance report of the reasons of failure to comply with one or more recommendations
contained in its principles or criteria.
Moreover, UniCredit is subject to the provisions contained in the Supervisory Regulations issued by Banca d’Italia and, in detail, with regards to
corporate governance issues, to the Supervisory Regulations on banks’ corporate governance (Circular No.285/2013, Part I, Title IV, Chapter 1).
In compliance with the aforementioned Supervisory Regulations UniCredit, as significant bank subject to the direct prudential supervision of the
ECB, as well as a listed bank, is qualifiable as bank of a major size or operational complexity and consequently complies with the provisions
applicable to such kind of bank.
Since 2001, UniCredit has adopted the Code which is available to the public on the Corporate Governance Committee website
(http://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporate-governance/homepage/homepage.en.htm).
UniCredit yearly draws up a corporate governance report meant for its shareholders, institutional and non-institutional investors and the market. The
report supplies suitable information on the UniCredit own corporate governance system.
Consistently with the relevant legal and regulatory obligations, as well as in line with the provisions of the Code, in its edition as updated in July
2018, the 2020 Report on corporate governance and ownership structure has been drafted, in accordance with Section 123/bis of the Legislative
Decree No.58 dated 24 February 1998 (hereinafter, also the Consolidated Law on Finance - “TUF”).
The Report on corporate governance and ownership structure, approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting held on 5 March 2021, will be
published at the same time as the Report on Operations on the Issuer’s website (https://www.unicreditgroup.eu/en/governance/our-governance-
system.html). For further information on the UniCredit corporate governance system see the first of the above documents.
UniCredit, as issuer of shares also listed on the Frankfurt and Warsaw regulated markets, also fulfils the legal and regulatory obligations relating to
listings on said markets as well as the provisions on corporate governance contained in the Polish Corporate Governance Code issued by the
Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Since its establishment, UniCredit has adopted the so-called traditional management and control system.
The distinctive feature of this model is that the strategic supervision and the management of the company, the overseeing of its management and
the legal accounting supervision are separated. In particular, the Board of Directors is solely responsible for the strategic supervision and the
management of the Company, while the Board of Statutory Auditors is entrusted with supervising its management. Legal accounting supervision is
assigned to an external audit firm by the Shareholders' Meeting on the basis of a proposal from the Board of Statutory Auditors, in compliance with
relevant current laws.
The reasons behind the choice of such governance model are that it has proven capable of managing the business efficiently, while ensuring
effective controls. That is, it creates the conditions for UniCredit S.p.A. to be able to guarantee the sound and prudent management of a complex
and global banking group, such as the UniCredit group.
Moreover, the traditional management ascribes certain aspects to the sole responsibility of the Shareholders' Meeting, creating in this way an
opportunity for dialogue and debate between shareholders and management about the fundamental elements of governance. These include the
appointment and dismissal of directors, the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors members, the assignment of the mandate for the external
auditing to an audit firm, the setting of the related remuneration, as well as the approval of the financial statements, the profit allocations, the
resolutions on the remuneration and incentive policies and practices provided for by current provisions and the criteria to determine the
compensation to be granted in the event of early termination of employment or early retirement from office.

Shareholders' Meeting
The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of UniCredit is convened at least once a year within 180 days of the end of the financial year, in order to

convened, instead, whenever it is necessary to resolve upon any of the matters that are exclusively attributed to it by current laws.
The Agenda of the Shareholders’ Meeting is established pursuant to legal requirements and to the UniCredit Articles of Association by whoever
exercises the power to call a Meeting.
The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting has adopted Regulations governing Ordinary and Extraordinary Meetings in a functional and regular way.
The Regulations are available on the Governance/Shareholders Section of the UniCredit website.

The Board of Directors of UniCredit may be comprised of between a minimum of 9 up to a maximum of 24 members. As at the approval date of this
document, UniCredit has 14 Directors.

date of the Shareholders’ Meeting called upon to approve the 2020 financial statements.

between genders, pursuant to the procedures specified in Clause 20 of the UniCredit Articles of Association. The legitimate parties who are entitled
to submit slates are the Board of Directors and the shareholders, who individually or collectively with others represent at least 0.5% of share capital
in the form of ordinary shares with voting rights at the ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings.
The UniCredit Articles of Association envisage that, regardless of the total number of the Board members, two Directors shall be appointed from the
second slate receiving the highest votes, without any connection with the shareholders who, even jointly, filed, or voted for, the slate first by number
of votes, to ensure to the minority shareholders a greater presence on the Board of Directors.
The Board establishes its qualitative and quantitative composition deemed to be optimal for the effective fulfillment of the duties and responsibilities
entrusted to the Board of Directors by law, by the Supervisory Provisions and by the UniCredit Articles of Association, according to the current
national and European provisions applicable on such topics, also concerning the time commitment and the limits upon the maximum number of
offices that UniCredit Directors may hold.
Moreover, Directors must take into account the provisions of Section 36 of Law Decree No.201/2011 (“ban on interlocking directorships”), approved
as statute by Law No.214/2011, which establishes that holders of a seat in managerial, supervisory and controlling bodies, as well as top
management officers in companies or group of companies active in banking, insurance and financial markets are forbidden to hold similar offices, or
to exercise similar duties, in competing companies or groups of companies.
The function and competencies of the Board of Directors are set forth in the UniCredit Corporate Bodies and Committees Regulation, available on
the Governance/Corporate Bodies Section of the UniCredit website.

Independence of Directors
In compliance with the criteria established by the Code and the UniCredit Articles of Association, as well as the provisions in force time to time, the
Directors’ independence shall be assessed by the Board of Directors every time the Board is renewed, as well as on an annual basis and whenever
a person is appointed as Director, on the basis of the information provided by the Director him/herself or, however, available to the Company. The
outcome of the assessments of the Board shall be notified after the appointment, through a press release disclosed to the market and,
subsequently, within the Corporate Governance Report.
With reference to the Board of Directors’ members, the Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee and the Board of
Directors, the latter at the annual verification carried out during its meeting held on 7 July 2020, as well as at the verification of individual Directors (5
March, 5 May and 4 November 2020),carried out the assessment of the Directors’ independence requirements based on the statements made by
the parties concerned and on the information available to the Company.
With specific reference to the independence requirements laid down by the Code and the Articles of Association, information relating to the
existence of direct or indirect relationships (credit relationships, business/professional relationships and employee relationships, as well as
significant offices held) that the Directors and their other connected subjects may have with UniCredit and Group companies was taken into account.
In order to assess the potential significance of the abovementioned relationships, the Board of Directors has decided not to proceed with merely
identifying predefined economic targets, which if simply exceeded could automatically indicate that independence has been compromised, as such
check requires an overall assessment of both objective and subjective aspects. Therefore, for this purpose, the following criteria should be taken into
account: (i) the nature and characteristics of the relationship; (ii) the amount in absolute and relative terms of the transactions; and (iii) the subjective
profile of the relationship.
More specifically, when assessing the significance of the relationship, the following information, where available, is considered by the Board:
• as far as credit relations are concerned, the amount in absolute value of the credit granted, its weighting in relation to the system and, where
appropriate, the economic and financial situation of the borrower;
• as far as professional/commercial relations are concerned, the characteristics of the transaction/relationship, the amount of the consideration and,
where appropriate, the economic and financial situation of the counterparty;
• as far as offices held in Group companies are concerned, the total amount of any additional remunerations.
In all the above cases, all the parties involved (Director or family member; UniCredit or Group company) and, for relationships with
companies/entities, the related kind of “connection" (post held/control participation) with the Director or the family member were taken into account.
As a result of such assessments and on the basis of the declaration provided by the persons concerned, the number of independent Directors
according to the provisions of the Code is equal to 11.
According to the Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its meetings held on 10 March, 13 July and 10 November 2020, ascertained, with a
positive outcome, the proper application of the criteria and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its own
members.

Committees of the Board of Directors
In order to foster an efficient information and advisory system to enable the Board of Directors better to assess the topics for which it is responsible,
also in accordance with the provisions of the Code, the Board has established four Committees, vested with research, advisory and proposal-making
powers diversified by sector of competence: the Internal Controls & Risks Committee, the Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability
Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Related-Parties Committee. Their duties are undertaken based on terms of reference and
procedures set forth by the Board.
The Committees consist, as a rule, of a number of members from 3 up to 5. More specifically, the Internal Controls & Risks Committee, the
Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee and the Remuneration Committee, set up in compliance with the provisions of the
Banca d’Italia Supervisory Regulations on banks’ corporate governance, envisaging 3 specialist committees, one on appointments, one on risks and
one on remuneration, are composed of non-executives Directors, mostly independent pursuant to the Articles of Association. Such Committees must
be differentiated from each other by at least one member and, if a Director elected by the minorities is present, that Director is a member of at least
one Committee. The Chairman of each Committee shall be chosen from among the independent members. The Related-Parties Committee, set up
for overseeing issues concerning transactions with related and associated parties, in compliance with the CONSOB regulatory provisions and the
Banca d’Italia Supervisory Regulations, consists only of independent Directors pursuant to the Code.
The Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee also supervises the sustainability issues linked to the activity exercised by
UniCredit and to the dynamics of the interactions of the latter with all the stakeholders.
None of the functions of one or more specialist Committees on appointments, risks and remuneration envisaged by the Code has been reserved to
the Board of Directors. Moreover, none of the abovementioned Committees, per se, performs the multiple functions of two or more committees as
envisaged by the Code. The Committee functions have not been allocated amongst the various Committees in a different manner vis-à-vis the
provisions of the Code.
The Committee’s tasks are coordinated by the Chairman, who exercises all necessary powers for its proper functioning. Each Committee draws up
an annual plan of activities to ensure the fulfillment of its tasks. Committee meetings are convened by the Chairman with frequency adequate to the
fulfillment of its tasks and plan of activities or when needed or requested in writing, with proper motivation, by at least two members of the
Committee. The provisions set out for the Board of Directors’ functioning shall apply, as compatible, to the Board Committees.
Committee members have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to perform the duties assigned to them and ensure that any other
corporate positions they hold in other companies or entities (including non-Italian ones) are compatible with their availability and commitment to
serve as a Committee member.
At the invitation of each Committee Chairman, the CEO, other Directors, the General Manager (when appointed), the Manager in charge of drafting
the company financial reports, as well as personnel belonging to the Company and the Group, may attend Committee meetings on specific Agenda
items. Without prejudice to the possibility for the Statutory Auditors to attend the meetings, at the invitation of each Committee Chairman, the
Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or other Auditors designated by the latter, may be called upon to attend Committee meetings. Always
at the invitation of each Committee Chairman, personnel or externals appointed in the corporate bodies of the Group’s subsidiaries may be called
upon to attend Committee meetings.
To perform their duties, Board Committees have access to the financial resources necessary to guarantee their operational independence and,
within the limitations of the budget approved by the Board of Directors, may consult independent external experts and invite them to attend
meetings; in the event of specific requirements, the relevant budget may be supplemented.
The Chairman of each Committee, at the first available Board of Directors meeting, reports on the activities carried out during the Committee
meetings, with the support of specific documentation.
The Board Committees’ composition, functions and competencies are set forth in the Corporate Bodies and Committees Regulation, available on the
Governance/Corporate bodies Section of the UniCredit website.

If a Committee member is a counterparty to the transaction under examination (or is related/associated with the counterparty), he/she must promptly
inform the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Committee Chairman (provided he/she is not in a conflict of interest situation), and abstain

non-associated independent Directors.
b) Temporary replacement of unavailable members in the event of an urgent transaction
For transactions that need to be finalised urgently and require the intervention of the Related-Parties Committee during negotiations and due
diligence and/or during the issue of opinions, having acknowledged the urgency and noted that the majority or all members are unable to meet or
carry out the required activities in time to conclude the transaction, the Committee Chairman shall promptly inform the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of this situation.
In any event, these circumstances must be communicated no later than the day after the Committee Chairman was informed that the majority or all
Committee members were not available.
Having consulted with the CEO and determined that the transaction cannot be delayed, the Chairman of the Board of Directors immediately takes
steps to find three Directors to sit on the Committee and follow the process for temporary substitutions in the event of conflicts of interest.

The amounts disclosed in column “Stock Options” represent the effects of the delivery of shares (Stock Options, Performance Shares, Discount and
Matching Shares connected with the ESOP Plans and other Group Executive Incentive Plans).
The cumulated change of valuation reserves, for -€48 million, includes the effect of the variation for:
• +€726 million of investments valued at net equity and +€658 million of non-current assets classified as held for sale, mainly due to the disposal of
respectively 11.93% and 9.02% stake of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi AS with the consequent recycle mostly to profit or loss of these reserves basically
referred to exchange rate differences on Turkish Lira;
• +€25 million of property, plant and equipment related to the properties used in business, ruled by IAS16 "Property, plant and machinery";
• -€41 million of cash-flow hedges;
• -€60 million of financial asset and liabilities at fair value;
• -€434 million of defined-benefit plans related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits obligations and provision for employee severance pay
(-€264 million for liability remeasurement and the residual mainly for temporary Deferred Tax asset sustainability test);
• -€922 million of exchange differences, mainly related to effect of Russian Ruble for -€681 million, Hungarian Forint for -€99 million and Czech Crown
for -€81 million.
The change in Group share capital refers to the increase for +€65 million following the resolution of the Board of Directors of 5 February 2020 of

incentive plan for Group personnel.
Following the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. of 9 April 2020 occurred: (i) coverage the entire loss of UniCredit S.p.A. from
the 2019 financial year through the use of the Share Premium Reserve (€555 million); (ii) coverage of the negative reserves totaling €3,408 million, partly
by use of Share premium reserve to eliminate the negative components related to the payment of AT1 coupons (€525 million) and to the first time
adoption of the IFRS9 (€2,759 million) and partly by use of the Statutory reserve to cover the negative reserve arising from the payment of usufruct
contract signed with Mediobanca S.p.A. on UniCredit shares supporting the issuance of convertible securities denominated “Cashes” (€124 million).
It should be noted that, following the Recommendation 2020/35 published by ECB on 27 March 2020 not to pay dividends until October 2020, 2019
Group result of +€3,373 million has been entirely allocated to the reserves without proceeding with the dividend distribution during 2020, following the
resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. of 9 April 2020. On 15 December 2020, the European Central Bank issued the
Recommendation 2020/62 “on dividend distributions during the Covid-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35”; the recommendation

The amounts disclosed in column “Stock Options” represent the effects of the delivery of shares (Stock Options, Performance Shares, Discount and
Matching Shares connected with the ESOP Plans and other Group Executive Incentive Plans).
The cumulated change of valuation reserves includes the effect of the variation mostly for:
• +€1,445 million of property, plant and equipment due to the transition from the cost model to the revaluation model for the properties used in
business, ruled by IAS16 "Property, plant and machinery";
• +€720 million of financial asset and liabilities at fair value;
• +€501 million of investments valued at net equity mainly due to the change of Turkish Lira for -€110 million and +€677 million of non-current
assets classified as held for sale due to the reclassification of 9.02% of the valuation reserve of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi AS for -€660 million (mainly
referred to cumulated change of Turkish Lira for -€643 million);
• +€292 million of exchange differences, mainly related to effect of Russian Ruble for +€324 million;
• -€55 million of cash-flow hedges;
• -€858 million of actuarial gain (losses) on defined-benefit plans.
The change in Group share capital refers to the increase of +€55 million following the resolution of the Board of Directors of 6 February 2019 of
UniCredit S.p.A. executed through a withdrawal from the specifically constituted reserve, for the issue of the shares connected to the medium term
incentive plan for Group personnel.
Following the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting of 11 April 2019 of UniCredit S.p.A., the coverage of the negative other reserves for +€293
million was executed by using: i) the share premium reserve for the component related to the payment of AT1 coupons in 2017 for -€168 million;
ii) the statutory reserve, included in reserves from profit, to cover the negative reserve arising from the payment of usufruct contract signed with
Mediobanca S.p.A. on UniCredit shares supporting the issuance of convertible securities denominated “Cashes” for -€125 million.
Moreover, the change of the other reserves includes the payment of coupons on AT1 equity instruments for -€285 million.
The change in net equity of minorities is mainly due to the sale of FinecoBank S.p.A. This transaction has impacted mainly share capital and
reserves from profits.

A.1 - General
Section 1 - Statement of compliance with IFRS
These Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), including the interpretation documents issued by the SIC and the IFRIC, and endorsed by the European Commission up to 31 December
2020, pursuant to EU Regulation No.1606/2002 which was incorporated into Italian legislation through Legislative Decree No.38 of 28 February
2005 (see Section 5 - Other matters).
These financial statements are an integral part of the Annual financial statements as required by Art.154-ter, par.1 of the Single Finance Act
(Consolidated Law on Finance - “TUF”, Legislative Decree No.58 of 24 February 1998).
In Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005 of Banca d’Italia (and subsequent amendments), with regard to the banks and financial institution subject to
supervision, Banca d’Italia has established the formats for the financial statements and Notes to the accounts used to prepare these Consolidated
financial statements.
Banca d’Italia issued on 30 November 2018 with its Circular No.262 adjusting the formats for the consolidated accounts and Notes to the
consolidated accounts to the requirements of IFRS16: Leasing. Such update has been integrated by the 15 December 2020 Banca d’Italia
Communication “Integration to Circular No.262 requirements - Banks financial statements: schemes and compilation rules” which has mainly
foreseen the need to provide further information regarding impacts coming from Covid-19 and related relief and support measures.
Section 2 - General preparation criteria
As mentioned above, these “Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020” have been prepared in accordance with the international
accounting standards endorsed by the European Commission.
The following documents have been used to interpret and support the application of IFRS, even though they have not all been endorsed by the
European Commission:
• The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting;
• Implementation Guidance, Basis for Conclusions, IFRICs and any other documents prepared by the IASB (including the IFRS Foundation
communication of 27 March 2020 concerning "IFRS9 and Covid-19") or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
supplementing the IFRS;
• Interpretative documents on the application of the IAS/IFRS in Italy prepared by the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) and Associazione
Bancaria Italiana (ABI);
• ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), European Banking Authority, European Central Bank and Consob documents on the
application of specific IFRS provisions also with specific reference to the presentation of the effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic and their
effects on the evaluation processes. In particular, refer to the statement of ESMA dated 25 March 2020, 20 May 2020 and 28 October 2020, to the
statement of European Central Bank dated 1 April 2020 and 4 December 2020, to the statement of European Banking Authority dated 25 March
2020, 2 April 2020, 2 June 2020 and 2 December 2020 and to Consob Call for attention. The content of these statements, when relevant, has
been reported in "Section 5 - Other matters” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to consolidated accounts Part A -
Accounting policies, A.1 General, in the context of the description of the evaluation choices made by the Group as at 31 December 2020.
The Consolidated financial statements include the Balance sheet, the Income statement, the Statement of other comprehensive income, the
Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, the Cash flow statement (compiled using the “indirect method”) and the Notes to the consolidated
accounts, together with the Consolidated report on operations and Annexes.
Figures in the consolidated accounts and Notes to the consolidated accounts are given in millions of euros, unless otherwise specified.
Risks and uncertainty relating to the use of estimates
Under the IFRS, management must make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the
amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses reported in the accounts, as well as the disclosure concerning contingent assets and
liabilities.
Estimates and related assumptions are based on previous experience and on the available information framework with reference to the current
context and have been used to estimate the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily available from other sources.
Estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Any changes resulting from these reviews are recognised in the period in which the review was
carried out, provided the change only concerns that period. If the revision concerns both current and future periods, it is recognised accordingly in
both current and future periods.
In particular, estimated figures have been used for the recognition and measurement of some of the largest items in the Consolidated financial
statements as at 31 December 2020, as required by the accounting policies, statements and regulations described above.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The current market environment is furthermore affected, compared with the past, by an increased risk of a lower predictivity of the macro-economic
projections arising from a substantial degree of uncertainty about the evolution of the pandemic and the consequent uncertainty of predicting timing
and extent of the economic recovery which may occur in future periods. The existence of a higher uncertainty represents, in fact, a key factor of the
statements issued by supranational authoritative bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) and the European Commission (“EC”):
• in its statement “October 2020 World Economic Outlook”, the IMF has stated, among other things, that “there remains tremendous uncertainty
around the outlook”; “the uncertainty surrounding the baseline projection is unusually large”; “the growing restrictions on trade and investment and
rising geopolitical uncertainty could harm the recovery”;
• in its statement of November 20207 “Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast: Rebound interrupted as resurgence of pandemic deepens uncertainty”, the
EC has stated, among other things, that “the epidemiological situation means that growth projections over the forecast horizon are subject to an
extremely high degree of uncertainty and risks” and that “a high degree of uncertainty with downside risks to the outlook”.
Additionally, as already stated, through the communication issued on 28 October 2020, ESMA published a Public Statement ("European common
enforcement priorities for 2020 Annual Financial Reports") addressing the enforcement priorities on measurement and disclosure, in light of Covid-
19 pandemic for 2020 year-end financial statements.
Among the others, for the topics under discussions in the present section, the following are worth to be mentioned, as they refer to uncertainty:
• impairment test: in order to reflect the higher level of uncertainties, the adoption of multiple scenarios might be required in calculating future cash-
flows;
• estimation uncertainties: the issuers shall disclose sources of estimation uncertainties in the measurement of items of financial statements.
In the context of high level of uncertainty explained above and considering the aforementioned ESMA communication, UniCredit group has defined
different macro-economic scenarios, to be used for the purposes of the evaluation processes of 2020 Financial statements.
In particular, in addition to the "Baseline" scenario, which reflects the expectations considered most likely concerning macro-economic trends,
alternative scenarios have been outlined that assume different trends in the main macro-economic parameters (e.g. gross domestic product, interest
rates); in this respect:
• with reference to the impairment test of goodwill and deferred tax assets, a worst-case scenario (called "Downturn") was defined, reflecting a
downward forecast of the expected profitability of the business;
• with reference to the valuation of credit exposures (IFRS9), two alternative scenarios ("Positive" and "Negative") were outlined, which provide for
different assessments regarding the expected trend of the parameters that can influence the assessment of the prospective credit risk.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the characteristics associated with the above scenarios.
Goodwill and deferred tax assets
As shown above and in light of the aforementioned considerations, UniCredit group has defined certain macro-economic scenarios, used for the
measurement of goodwill and deferred tax assets:
• Baseline scenario: on the basis of this macro-economic scenario, prepared last October 2020, were determined the budget for year 2021,
approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) at meeting held on 13 January 2021, and the projections for years 2022 and 2023, presented to the BoD
at the same meeting on 13 January 2021. This macro-economic scenario foresees a gradual recovery starting from spring 2021, also supported by
a higher distribution of vaccines and a reduction of restrictions on mobility and on some economic activities introduced in Europe to manage Covid-
19 infections. Moreover, this scenario foresees that central banks maintain favorable monetary policy measures. In 2022 and 2023 a normalization
of economic activities is expected with a moderate recovery of rates, in particular of medium-long term rates (Mid Swap 10Y). For details refer to
the table below.
• “Downturn” scenario, also in light of the context of uncertainty considered by ESMA and supranational bodies (e.g. IMF) the "Downturn" scenario
has been stressed considering worse macro-economic conditions compared to the “Baseline”, in particular foreseeing a halving in the Eurozone
GDP in 2021 and a stable trend in long-term rates, thus leading to a downward revision of the results forecast in the 2021 budget and in the 2022-
23 projections. In particular, the "Downturn" scenario considers a new phase of infections for Covid-19 at the beginning of 2021 with a consequent
increase in restrictions on mobility and on economic activities compared to the “Baseline” scenario. The 2021 GDP therefore reaches in the main
countries a growth in 2021 equal to about half of the base case (e.g. Western Europe +2.4% vs. +4.8% of the base case), settling at the same
growth as the base case in 2022-23, thus not recovering the variation seen in 2021 against a long-term impact on the economy. Consistently with
a reduced economic growth, it is assumed that central banks maintain favorable monetary policy measures and that interest rates therefore remain
at lower levels compared to the "Baseline" scenario, with a significant impact also on medium- and long-term rates, resulting in a flatter rate curve
than in the base case.

Notes:
(1) Data 2020 are shown only for the Baseline scenario for information purposes, data referred to the real GDP for Western Europe and the CEE are forecasts prepared during the fourth quarter of 2020.
(2) Western Europe calculated as a weighted average considering the nominal GDP of the countries relevant for UniCredit (Italy, Germany and Austria).
It is worth to note that, for comparative purposes, the macro-economic data used for the assessments performed for Consolidated financial
statements as at 31 December 2019 foresaw: (i) for 2020, real GDP growth of 0.6% for Western Europe and 1.4% for the CEE (excluding Turkey);
(ii) for 2023 real GDP growth of 1.2% for Western Europe and 2.1% for the CEE (excluding Turkey).
With reference to goodwill and deferred tax assets, the measurement is significantly influenced by assumptions on future cash flows, which in turn
incorporate assumptions on the evolution of the macro-economic scenario. As a result, for the measurement and with the aim to reflect the
aforementioned degree of uncertainty, pursuant to requirements of ESMA public statement of 28 October 2020, both the scenarios outlined above
have been considered. In particular future cash flows have been estimated by weighting the “Baseline” scenario and the “Downturn” scenario with a
higher probability attributed to the “Baseline” scenario (60% vs. 40%).
Moreover, additional parameters impact on measurement: (i) for goodwill, the measurement is influenced by Cost of Equity, CET1 ratio target and
long term growth rate; (ii) the sustainability of deferred tax assets is influenced by the volatility of expected results and by the confidence level used.
In the context of measurement as at 31 December 2020, the evaluation of these items has been updated through the redetermination, if needed, of
the underlying parameters.
For further information on the methodology, results and base assumptions used in the impairment test of goodwill and deferred tax assets, refer
respectively to sections Section 10 - Intangible assets - Item 100”, “Section 11 - Tax assets and tax liabilities - Item 110 (Assets) and Item 60
(Liabilities) of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part B - Consolidated balance sheet -
Assets.
The results of these evaluation might be subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment depending on the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of
the relief measures adopted and, ultimately, on the existence and degree of the economic recovery. Possible deviations of the actual
economic recovery compared with the assumptions which form the basis of the evaluations might require a re-determination of the parameters used
for valuation purposes, in particular with regard to the future cash flows, and the consequent change in the valuation.
In this context it should be noted that an update of the strategic plan Team 23, that reflects current conditions, may be approved by the new Board of
Directors, that will be appointed by the shareholder’s meeting to be held on 15 April 2021, during 2021.
Measurement of Real estate portfolio
Always with reference to the valuation of the non-financial assets, it is worth to mention the valuation of the real estate portfolio which has become
relevant following the adoption, starting from 31 December 2019, of the fair value model (assets held for investment) and the revaluation model
(assets used in the business). For these assets, on 31 December 2020, fair value has been determined through external appraisals. Further
information has been reported in the paragraph “Section 9 - Property, plant and equipment - Item 90” of the Consolidated financial statements of
UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets.
In this context it is worth to note that in the upcoming financial years, fair value of these assets might be different from the fair value observed as at
31 December 2020 as a result of the possible evolution of real estate market which will also depend on the new practice, in terms of remote working,
that could prevail once the lock-down measures will be lifted.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Measurement of Credit Exposures
With reference to credit exposures, it must be noted that the slow-down of the economic activity resulting from the pandemic Covid-19 and the
associated lock-down measures has also affected the estimates on their recoverability and the calculation of the associated loan loss provisions. In
this regard it must be noted that the amount of loan loss provisions is determined considering the classification, current and expected, of credit
exposures as non-performing, the sale prices, for those non performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external
counterparties, and credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9,
incorporates, among other factors, forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
In this context, the Group has updated macro-economic scenarios as at 31 December 2020 considering, as already underlined, in addition to a base
scenario (as already mentioned in the section on Goodwill and deferred tax assets), a negative scenario and a positive scenario and applying proper
weighting factors.
• Negative Scenario, which reflects the assumption that Europe will face a further prolonged pandemic wave at the beginning of 2021. Although,
with the mild climate, the economy may recover during spring, the distribution of vaccines, under this scenario, will proceed slower than expected
in the Baseline scenario. As a result, mass immunity will only be achieved gradually at the end of the three-year forecast period. Such factor will
cause a higher reduction in growth mainly in 2021 (e.g. Western Europe +1.2% vs 4.8% in the base case). Governments will maintain expansionist
economic policies to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic and to maintain social stability. The rate curve will have a more gradual
normalization (steepening) compared to the “Baseline” scenario. Compared to a hypothesis of a flat rate curve until 2023, in this scenario the
increase, however existing, of the long-term component influences the prospective credit risk by affecting the cost of financing for clients. For
details refer to table below.
• Positive Scenario is based on the assumption that an effective distribution of vaccines increases the confidence and that GDP grows more than
what has been foreseen in the “Baseline” scenario. In this scenario, although the 2021 trend remains in line with the base scenario, the pace of
recovery in 2022 is expected significantly more solid, driving an increase in demand that will bring GDP back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of
2022. In this context, it is assumed that governments will gradually reduce support measures. In detail, annual real GDP growth for Western
Europe would stand at +5.4% in 2021, rising to +5.9% in 2022 to stabilise at +2.5% in 2023 in a context of short-term rates (3-month Euribor)
foreseen still negative in the three-year period 2021-2023.

Notes:
(1) For Baseline Scenario data refer to the table above.
(2) Western Europe calculated as a weighted average considering the nominal GDP of the countries relevant for UniCredit (Italy, Germany and Austria).
Considering that a high degree of uncertainty still exists and that economic forecasts show a high degree of volatility where the main uncertainties
refer to the continuation of the pandemic together with the effectiveness of the vaccines and their distribution, the probability of the negative scenario
in December 2020 has been raised by 10% (thus brought to 40% from 30% in the first half of 2020) so to incorporate the risks of downturns. The
probabilities used for the base scenario and the positive scenario have been decreased by 5% each and set, respectively, at 55% (60% in the first
half of 2020) and at 5% (from 10% in the first half of 2020).
For additional information on the measurement of credit exposure refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Consolidated financial statements of
UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential
consolidated perimeter.
Also, in this case the measurement is affected by the already mentioned degree of uncertainty on the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of the
relief measures and, ultimately, the existence and degree of economic recovery.
116 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The evolution of these factors may, indeed, require in future financial years the classification of additional credit exposures as non-performing thus
determining the recognition of additional loan loss provisions related to both these exposures as well as performing exposures following the update
in credit parameters. In this context it will be relevant, among other factors, the ability of the customers to service their debt once moratoria
measures granted by governments in which the Group operates or provided voluntarily by the Banks of the Group will expire.
In addition, adjustments to the loan loss provisions, might derive from the occurrence of a macro-economic scenario different from the one estimated
for the calculation of the credit risk parameters or by the prevalence on the market of non-performing exposures of prices different from those used
in the measurement.
Finally, the evolution of the real estate market could impact on the value of properties received as collateral and may require an adjustment to the
loan loss provisions.
Other measurements
In addition to the assets mentioned above, the slow-down of economic activity and the associated degree of uncertainty on the economic recovery
has also affected the valuation of the following items:
• fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
• severance pay (in Italy) and other employee’s benefits;
• provisions for risks and charges.
While evaluations have been made on the basis of information deemed to be reasonable and supportable as at 31 December 2020, they might
subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Further elements, in addition to Covid-19 pandemic, that determine uncertainty in the evaluations are (i) domestic and international socio-economic
conditions and subsequent impact on the Group’s profitability and customers’ creditworthiness, (ii) financial markets which affect changes in interest
rates, prices and actuarial assumptions.
Statement of going concern
In their joint Document No.4 of 3 March 2010, Banca d’Italia, Consob and ISVAP made a few observations on the current situation of the markets
and businesses and requested that information essential for a better understanding of business trends and outlook be disclosed in financial reports.
The Directors observed that the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic during the financial year 2020 and the associated lock-down measures, have
determined, as mentioned above, negative effects that are offset, only in part, by the economic relief measures put in place by the Governments.
The Directors have considered these circumstances in the assessments of significant items of the financial statements, and on the basis of these
assessments, also acknowledging the current uncertainty surrounding the economic recovery and the long-term impact of the lock-down measures
adopted, believe with reasonable certainty that the Group will continue to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a result, in accordance with
the provisions of IAS1, the document “Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020” was prepared on a going concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, the main regulatory ratios have been taken into account at 31 December 2020, in terms of: (i) the exact
figures at 31 December 2020 (CET1 ratio transitional equal to 15.96%; TLAC ratio equal to 26.97%; Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 171% based on
monthly average on 12 months); (ii) the related buffer versus the minimum requirements at the same reference date (CET1 ratio transitional: excess
of 693 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 743 basis points; Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 71 percentage points); (iii) the expected
evolution of the same ratios during 2021 (in particular, in 2021, it is expected to maintain a significant margin above the capital requirements, i.e. the
so called CET1 ratio “MDA buffer”, above the range of 200-250 basis points that the Group has set as target in the medium/long term).
Consistently with such evidences, taking into consideration the recommendations issued by European Central Bank in December 2020 and further
corroborating the going concern, the Directors intend to propose in 2021 to the Shareholders’ Meeting to authorise the distribution of a remuneration,
in part in cash and in part through shares buy back, the latter conditional on the reception of the proper authorization by the European Central Bank.
The measurement criteria adopted are therefore consistent with this assumption and with the principles of accrual-based accounting, the relevance
and materiality of accounting information, and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form.
These criteria have not changed with respect to the previous year.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Section 3 - Consolidation scope and methods
The consolidation criteria and principles used to prepare the Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 are described below.
Consolidated Accounts
For the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 the following sources have been used:
• UniCredit S.p.A. general meeting draft accounts as at 31 December 2020;
• the accounts as at 31 December 2020, approved by the competent bodies and functions, of the other fully consolidated subsidiaries duly
reclassified and adjusted to take account of consolidation needs and, where necessary, to align them to the Group accounting principles;
• the sub-consolidated Accounts as at 31 December 2020 of Nuova Compagnia di Partecipazioni Group, including Nuova Compagnia di
Partecipazioni S.p.A. (formerly Compagnia Italpetroli S.p.A.) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Amounts in foreign currencies are converted at closing exchange rates in the balance sheet, whereas the average exchange rate for the year is
used for the income statement.
The accounts and explanatory notes of the main fully consolidated subsidiaries prepared under IIAS/IFRS are subject to limited review by leading
audit companies.
Subsidiaries
Entities, including structured entities, over which the Group has direct or indirect control, are considered subsidiaries.
Control over an entity entails:
• the existence of power over the relevant activities;
• the exposure to the variability of returns;
• the ability to use the power exercised in order to influence the returns to which the Group is exposed.
In order to verify the existence of control, the Group considers the following factors:
• the purpose and establishment of the investee, in order to identify which are the entity's objectives, the activities that determine its returns and how
these activities are governed;
• the power, in order to understand whether the Group has contractual rights that attribute the ability to govern the relevant activities; to this end only
substantial rights that provide practical ability to govern are considered;
• the exposure held in relation to the investee, in order to assess whether the Group has relations with the investee, the returns of which are subject
to changes depending on the investee's performance;
• the existence of potential (principal - agent) relationships.
If the relevant activities are governed through voting rights, the existence of control is verified considering the voting rights held, including the
potential ones, and the existence of any shareholders' or other agreements which attribute the right to control the majority of the voting rights, to
appoint the majority of the governing body or in any case the power to determine the entity's financial and operating policies.
Subsidiaries may also include any “structured entity” in which the voting rights are not significant for establishing control, including special purpose
entities and investment funds.
In the case of structured entities, the existence of control is ascertained considering both the contractual rights that enable governance of the
relevant activities of the entity (or those that contribute most to the results) and the Group's exposure to the variability of returns deriving from these
activities.
The carrying amount of an equity interest in a fully consolidated entity held by the Parent Company or another Group company is eliminated against
the recognition of the assets and liabilities of the investee as an offsetting entry to the corresponding portion of net equity of the subsidiary
attributable to the Group.
Intragroup balances, the off-balance sheet transactions, the income and expenses, and the gain/losses between consolidated companies are
eliminated in full, according to the method of consolidation adopted.
A subsidiary’s income and expenses are included in the consolidation from the date the Parent acquires the control. On disposal of a subsidiary, its
income and expenses are consolidated up to the date of the disposal, i.e. until the Parent ceases to control the subsidiary. The difference between
the consideration received of the subsidiary and the carrying amount of its net assets at the same date is recognised in the Income statement under
item “280 Gains (Losses) on disposal of investments” for fully consolidated companies.

The portion attributable to non-controlling interests is presented in the Balance sheet under item “190 Minorities”, separately from the liabilities and
net equity attributable to the Group. In the Income statement, the portion attributable to minorities is also presented separately under item “340
Minorities”.
With respect to companies included in the consolidation scope for the first time, the fair value of the cost paid to obtain control of this equity interest,
including ancillary expenses, is measured at the acquisition date.
The difference between the consideration received of an interest held in a subsidiary and the carrying amount of the net assets is recognised in the
Net Equity, if the sale does not entail loss of control.
Joint arrangements
A joint arrangement is a contractual agreement under the terms of which two or more counterparties arrange to jointly control an entity.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when the decisions about the relevant activities
require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
According to the standard IFRS11 - Joint Arrangements, such agreements must be classified as Joint Operations or Joint Ventures according to the
contractual rights and obligations held by the Group.
A Joint Operation is a joint arrangement in which the parties have rights on the assets and obligations with respect to the liabilities of the
arrangement.
A Joint Venture is a joint arrangement in which the parties have rights on the net assets of the arrangement.
The Group has assessed the nature of the joint arrangements and has determined that its jointly controlled equity investments are of the Joint
Venture type. These equity investments are recognised using the equity method.
Carrying amount of the Joint Ventures is tested in accordance with IAS36 as a single asset, by comparing it with the corresponding recoverable
amount (i.e. higher of value in use (VIU) and fair value (FV) less cost to sell).
Associates
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and which are not subsidiaries or joint ventures.Significant influence is
presumed when the investor:
• holds, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the share capital of another entity, or
• is able, also through shareholders' agreements, to exercise significant influence through:
- representation on the governing body of the company;
- participation in the policy-making process, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
- the existence of significant transactions;
- interchange of managerial personnel;
- provision of key technical information.
It is to be pointed out that only companies which are governed through voting rights can be classified as subject to significant influence.
Investments in associates are recognised using the equity method. Carrying amount of Associates is tested in accordance with IAS36 as a single
asset, by comparing it with the corresponding recoverable amount (i.e. higher of VIU and FV less cost to sell).
Equity method
Equity investments in companies measured using the equity method include the goodwill (less any impairment loss) paid to purchase them.
The investor’s share of the profit and loss of the investee after the date of acquisition is recognised in the Income statement under item “250 Profit
(Loss) of investments”. Any dividends distributed reduce the carrying amount of the equity investment.
If the investor’s share of an investee’s losses is equal to or greater than its carrying amount, no further losses are recognised, unless the investor
has incurred specific obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Gains and losses on transactions with associates or joint arrangements are eliminated according to the percentage interest in the said company.
Any changes in the revaluation reserves of associates or joint arrangements, which are recorded as a contra item to changes in value of the
phenomena relevant to this purpose, are reported separately in the Statement of other comprehensive income.
The following table shows the companies included in the scope of consolidation.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
2. Significant assumptions and assessment in determining the consolidation scope
The Group determines the existence of control and, consequently, the consolidation scope, checking, with reference to the entities in which it holds
exposures:
• the existence of power over the relevant activities;
• the exposure to the variability of returns;
• the ability to use the power exercised in order to influence the returns to which it is exposed.
The factors that have been considered for the purposes of this assessment depend on the entity's governance methods, purposes and equity
structure. On this point, the Group differentiates between entities governed through voting rights, i.e. operating entities, and entities not governed
through voting rights, which comprise special purpose entities (SPEs) and investment funds.
In the case of operating entities, the following factors provide evidence of control:
• more than half of the company's voting rights are held directly or indirectly through subsidiaries (also when they act as trustee companies) unless,
exceptionally, it can be clearly demonstrated that this ownership does not originate control;
• half, or a lower proportion, of the votes exercisable in the shareholders' meeting are held and it is possible to govern the relevant activities
unilaterally through:
- the control of more than half of the voting rights based on an agreement with other investors;
- the power to determine the entity's financial and operating policies based on a contract or a statutory clause;
- the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the Board of Directors or the equivalent governing body, and that board or body is
responsible for managing the company;
- the power to exercise the majority of voting rights in meetings of the Board of Directors or the equivalent governing body, and that board or body
is responsible for managing the company.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights, including those incorporated in options, way-out clauses, or instruments convertible into shares,
are taken into consideration when assessing the existence of control, in case they are substantial.
In particular, potential voting rights are considered substantial if all the following conditions are met:
• they can be exercised either immediately or at least in good time for the company's shareholders' meeting;
• there are no legal or economic barriers to exercise them;
• exercising them is economically convenient.
As at 31 December 2020 the Group holds the majority of the voting rights in all the operating entities subject to consolidation, with the exception of
two companies for which the Group, although not holding the majority of voting rights, (i) has signed shareholders' agreements which enable it to
appoint the majority of members of the governing body, or contractual agreements which determine the possibility of managing the company’s
business unilaterally, and (ii) is exposed to the variability of the said company’s returns.
It should also be noted that there are no cases in which control derives from holding potential voting rights.
Special purpose entities are considered controlled if the Group is, at one and the same time:
• exposed to a significant extent to the variability of returns, as a result of exposures in securities, of disbursing loans or of providing guarantees. In
this regard it is assumed as a rebuttable presumption that the exposure to variability of returns is significant if the Group has at least 30% of the
most subordinated exposure, and
• able to govern the relevant activities, also in a de facto manner. Examples of the power to govern on this point are performing the role of sponsor
or servicer appointed to recover underlying receivables, or managing the company's business.
In particular, consolidated special purpose entities include:
• Conduits in which the Group plays the role of sponsor and is exposed to the variability of returns, as a result of subscribing Asset Backed
Commercial Paper issued by them and/or of providing guarantees in the form of letters of credit or liquidity lines;
• vehicles used to carry out securitisation transactions in which the Group is the originator as a result of subscribing the subordinated tranches;
• vehicles financed by the Group and established for the sole purpose of performing financial or operating leasing in favour of customers which are
financed by the Group;
• vehicles in which, as a result of deteriorating market conditions, the Group has found itself holding the majority of the financial exposure and, at
the same time, managing the underlying assets or the related collections.
It should be noted that, in the case of special purpose entities set up as part of securitisation transactions pursuant to Italian Law 130/99, the
segregated assets are analysed separately with respect to the analysis of the SPE. For the latter, control is assessed on the basis of possession of
the voting rights attributed to the company's shares.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Investment funds managed by Group companies are considered controlled if the Group is significantly exposed to the variability of returns and if the
third-party investors have no rights to remove the management company.
In this regard it is assumed as a rebuttable presumption that the exposure to the variability of returns is significant if the Group has at least 30% as a
result of subscription of the units and commissions received for the management of the fund's assets.
Funds managed by Group companies that are in seed/warehousing phases are not considered controlled.
In this phase, in fact, the aim of the fund is to invest, in accordance with fund’s regulation, in financial and non financial assets with the aim of
allotting the quotas to third party investors. Consequently it has been evaluated that the management company is not able to exercise power due to
its limited decision power.
Investment funds managed by third-party companies are considered controlled if the Group is significantly exposed to the variability of returns and at
the same time, has the unilateral right to remove the management company.
In this regard it is assumed as a rebuttable presumption that the exposure to the variability of returns is significant if the Group has subscribed at
least 30% of the fund’s units.
With reference to 31 December 2020, it should be noted that 196 controlled entities (of which 15 belonging to the Banking Group) were not
consolidated pursuant to IFRS10, of which 189 for materiality threshold and/or liquidation procedures.
Among the 7 remaining non consolidated entities it should be noted:
• 5 operating entities deriving from restructuring procedures or work- out, whose risks are measured as part of the overall credit exposures;
• 2 entities with total assets lower than €10 million, which do not have an operating structure that may allow them to prepare IAS/IFRS Financial
Statements and that the Group has decided not to consolidate on a cost/benefits basis.
Based on available information, it should be considered that their consolidation would not have impacted significantly the Group shareholders’
equity.

4. Significant restrictions
Shareholder agreements, regulatory requirements and contractual agreements can limit the ability of the Group to access the assets or settle the
liabilities of its subsidiaries or restrict the latter from distribution of capital and/or dividends.
With reference to shareholder agreements, it should be noted that to the consolidated entities UniCredit BPC Mortgages S.r.l. and UniCredit OBG
S.r.l. companies established according to Law 130/99 for the execution of securitisation transactions or the issuance of covered bonds,
shareholders’ agreements allow the distribution of dividends only when the credit claims of guaranteed lenders and bearer of covered bonds are
satisfied.
In the course of the demerger of the CEE Banking Business from UniCredit Bank Austria AG to UniCredit S.p.A. effected in 2016, UniCredit S.p.A.
undertook vis-a-vis its co-shareholders in UniCredit Bank Austria AG and UniCredit Bank Austria AG that until 30 June 2024, envisaging: (i) the
restriction, as shareholder of UniCredit Bank Austria AG, from resolving on any dividend distributions of the latter in case UniCredit Bank Austria
AG’s consolidated and solo CET1 ratios, as a consequence thereof, fall below (a) 14% or (b) the higher minimum CET1 ratio required at the time by
the applicable regulatory framework, plus any required buffers, and (ii) the support to any management decision and board resolution of UCBA
aimed at safeguarding such CET1 ratios.
UniCredit group is a banking group subject to the rules provided by Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council (so
called CRD V), amending Directive 2013/36/EU on “access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and
investment firms” and by Regulation EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council (so called CRR2), amending Regulation (EU) No
575/2013 on “prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms” and that controls financial institutions subject to the same
regulation.
The ability of the controlled banks, and of the other regulated entities, to distribute capital or dividends may be restricted to the fulfilment of these
requirements in terms of both capital ratios and “Maximum Distributable Amount” as well as further eventual regulation applicable at national level
and recommendation by competent authorities provided time by time.
In particular, with reference to the measures adopted in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic by the European Supervisory Authorities, the
European Central Bank (ECB) on 15 December 2020 has issued a recommendation “on dividend distributions during the Covid-19 pandemic and
repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35 (ECB/2020/62)” asking banks to refrain from dividend distribution and shares buy-back until 30 September
2021. According to this recommendation, dividends shall remain below 15% of the cumulated profit for 2019 and 2020 adjusted for certain
components CET1 neutral and shall not be higher than 20 basis points of the CET1 ratio. This recommendation repeals the previous measures
issued by ECB dated 27 July 2020 and 27 March 2020, that complementing EBA measure dated 31 March 2020, suspended dividend distributions
for 2019.
Finally, also in consideration of recommendations received from the local supervisory authorities, some subsidiaries of the UniCredit group, during
the 2020, canceled the resolution to distribute the 2019 dividend.
The capital ratios requested for 2021 from UniCredit group and agreed upon with the European Central Bank (ECB), also as a result of the
Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) performed in 2020, are higher than the minimum requirements set by the mentioned
regulations.
With reference to subsidiaries, we note that in some jurisdictions and for some foreign entities of the Group, commitments to maintain local
supervisory capital higher than regulatory thresholds may exist also as a result of SREP performed at local level.
With reference to free flow among entities based in different countries, available liquidity at Group level bears some restrictions related to the Large
Exposure prudential limits, according to both CRR definition and decisions adopted by Member States (with reference to cross border intragroup
exposures) some of them recently implemented with the aim to face the recent health emergency: consequently, a portion of available liquidity may
suffer impediments that hinder its transfer among group entities. Further details are reported in the Notes to the consolidated accounts as at 31
December 2020, Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.4 Liquidity risk.
With reference to contractual agreements, UniCredit group has also issued financial liabilities whose callability, redemption, repurchase or
repayment before their contractual maturity date is subject to the prior permission of the competent authority. The carrying value of these
instruments as at 31 December 2020 is equal to €40,199 million and includes capital instruments and TLAC eligible instruments.
5. Other information

banka. The intragroup funding has been fully reimbursed at closing.
On 12 January 2021 the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. launched a dual tranche Senior Preferred €1 billion with 5 years maturity and €1 billion
with 10 years maturity. The combined amount represents the largest Euro institutional Senior Preferred issuance ever done by UniCredit.
On 27 January 2021 the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. unanimously nominated Andrea Orcel as designated Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
for inclusion in the list for the renewal of the Board of Directors, to replace the outgoing CEO, Jean Pierre Mustier. The list will be presented for
approval at the upcoming AGM on 15 April 2021. Upon AGM approval of the list, the Board will confirm his appointment as CEO.

these amendments.
Risks, uncertainties and impacts of Covid-19 pandemic
Reference is made to “Section 2 - General preparation criteria” for a description of risks and uncertainty relating to Covid-19 pandemic.
Contractual modifications arising from Covid-19
1) Contractual modifications and accounting derecognition (IFRS9)
In order to limit the effects of the restriction measures put in place to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, starting from the first half 2020, the Group has
granted to its customers debt moratoria measures. These measures have been granted both following the approval of specific laws by the
governments in which the Group operates and as a result of specific initiatives of Group’s credit institutions so to complement government initiatives
or in those countries in which the local government has not issued specific laws.
These moratoria measures generally allowed to postpone the payment of instalments for a period comprised between 3 and 12 months, either upon
request by the customers or, in some countries, automatically for all the loans in scope of local laws, with the consequent increase in the maturity of
the loan and the accrual of interests on the capital being postponed.
As a result of the continuing health emergencies, restrictions measures have not been lifted and these initiatives have been renewed in the second
half of 2020 allowing the possibility to further postpone payments at a future date defined by local measures which is within 31 December 2021.
144 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
In accordance with ESMA's declaration8 which clarified that it is unlikely that the contractual changes resulting from these moratoria can be
considered as substantial, the Group has not derecognised the related credit exposures9. A modification loss is consequently recognised in item
“140. Gains/Losses from contractual changes with no cancellations" if the increase in future payments is not sufficient to remunerate the Group for
the postponement period also in light of local laws and regulations. As at 31 December 2020 the amount deriving from the modification loss
recognizing through Profit & Loss was equal to €13 million.
2) Amendment to IFRS16 accounting standard
The IASB published 28 May 2020 the “Amendment to IFRS16 Leases Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions" which has been endorsed on 15
December 2020.
Such amendments provide lessees with an exemption (permitted and not required) from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a
lease modification. Entities applying the exemption, available from 1 June 2020, would account for the changes as if they were not lease
modifications.
If the exemption is applied by the lessee then:
• forgiveness or waiver of lease payments are accounted for as a variable lease payment against the derecognition of the part of lease liability
forgiven or waived;
• change in lease payments that reduces payments in one period but proportionally increases payments in another, requires interest to be accrued
on the lease liability and lease liability to be reduced in order to reflect lease payments made to the lessor.
The exemption can be used only if the following conditions are met:
• rent concessions occur as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic;
• the revised consideration for the lease is the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
• the reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021;
• there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group has not applied the exemption foreseen by the IFRS16 amendment.
Reorganization of Wien Permanent establishment (“WPE”) of UniCredit S.p.A. (“UCI”)
In the context of Team 23 Strategic plan the Group is implementing a re-organization of CEE activities executed through the streamlining of the
functions attributed to the “WPE” of “UCI”, so to achieve the cost efficiency provided by Team 23.
In September 2020 “UCI” agreed, coherently with the obligations toward UniCredit Bank Austria (“UCBA”), in the context of re-organization of
activities within CEE made in 2016, to review existing intercompany agreements, indemnifying UCBA for costs which it will incur in the context of
“WPE” re-organization.
The re-organization has implied during 2020:
• the free-up of office space for which the rentals obtained from subleasing with third parties, are lower than the rentals paid under the head-lease.
As a result, an impairment of right of use associated to this office space for €5.3 million has been recognised as the difference between its carrying
value and the present value of the rentals set up by such subleasing contract;
• the mandatory purchases, under existing contracts, having limited possibility of renegotiation, of services that will be not more used in the context
of business operations. As a result, the benefits expected from such contracts are lower than their cost and therefore an expense for €29.5 million
(including VAT) has been recognised.
TLTRO
On 6 January 2021, ESMA published a document which, referring to the changes introduced by the ECB during 2020 due to the Covid-19
emergency with particular reference to the interest rates applicable to the third series of targeted longer term refinancing operations (TLTRO III),
recommends an adequate level of transparency regarding the accounting treatment applied for the purposes of preparing the financial statements,
with particular reference to considerations regarding the qualification of transactions as loans at market rates (IFRS9) or at an interest rate lower
than the market rate (IAS20), method of calculating the effective interest rate and any changes in the estimate of payments for changes in the
valuation regarding compliance with the "eligibility" criteria. In such document ESMA, also specifies that, taking into account the different accounting
treatments observed on the market, it will send a question to the IFRIC on this matter. Therefore, the accounting treatment adopted by the Group,
described below, may be subject in the future to different interpretations by the competent bodies.
The TLTRO liabilities are banking book funding instruments to be subsequently measured at amortised cost according to IFRS9.4.2.1.
The prospect for the borrowing bank to be charged of a variable negative interest margin on “long term refinancing operations”, additional to the
average Deposit Facility Rate (“DFR”) or Main Refinancing Operation (“MRO”) rate, is linked to the achievement of specific threshold on Cumulative
Net Lending toward eligible counterparties10.
In particular, financial conditions incorporated into TLTROs are reflecting ECB monetary policy initiatives to prospectively reduce market “cost of
funding” for banking institutions by using “non-conventional” tools and reflected in money market operations.
8 ESMA public statement: "Accounting implications of the Covid-19 outbreak on the calculation of expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS9" of 25 March 2020.
9 According to IFRS9, the contractual modifications must be accounted for (i) if significant, through the derecognition, (ii) if not significant, through the recalculation of the gross exposure by discounting the contractual cash
flows after the modification at the original effective interest rate. The standard does not provide any indication as to whether a change is significant or not. For further information on accounting principles used by the Group
on this matter, refer to Part A - Accounting policies, A.2 - Main items of the accounts.
10 Loans to non-financial corporations & Loans to households, excluding loans for house purchase.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 145
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
As a result, accounting analysis rejected such a margin would have been assimilated to either (i) a government grants (being ECB TLTRO a “limited
access & banking specific” market by its own), or (ii) an embedded derivative (not filling with IFRS9 derivative definition).
Therefore, such contractual term must be seen as contractual clause included into a one-coupon floating-rate11 financial liability (the refinancing
operation), and to be considered part of the calculation of the liability’s interest revenues according to IFRS9.
Under the said accounting principle, the interests shall be calculated using the “effective interest method” that allocates interest revenues over the
application period of the “effective interest rate”. The latter is defined as the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life
of the financial instruments to the net carrying amount.
Accordingly, having introduced a new/prospective “performance-related” remuneration within the ECB TLTRO “market” specific financial features are
handled similarly to changes in market-index for floating-rate liabilities.
Therefore, referencing EIR rules for “markets-driven” variable remunerations, changes in “market index” (e.g. base rate and spread) are reflected by
adjusting instruments’ carrying amount calculated by reference to the evolution of the “TLTRO index” and limited to the accrued (to-date) portion12.
As a result, TLTRO III effective interest rate for a 3y funding is comprised between -0.33% and -0.83%13, coherently with (i) benchmark
achievements for Cumulative Net Lending (“CNL”) as at March 2021 and December 2021 and (ii) current MRO and DFR levels.
With reference to 2020, a Net Interest Income contribution equal to +€165 million, additional to” DFR”, has been recognised for the outstanding €94
billion TLTRO funding, fully subscribed in June 2020, reflecting expected CNL threshold achievements as supported by (i) outstanding CNL
production and (ii) expected business developments incorporated into FY2021 budget plan, also corroborated by statistical model used for
calculating the probability related to the achievement of the relevant “minimum thresholds”.
Tax credits connected with the "Cura Italia" and "Rilancio" Law Decrees purchased following the sale without
recourse by the direct beneficiaries or previous buyers
The DL 18/2020 (so-called "Cura Italia") and 34/2020 (so-called "Rilancio"), converted into law No.27 and No.77 of 2020, introduced into the Italian
legal system some tax incentive measures related to both investment expenses (e.g. Eco and Sismabonus) and current expenses (e.g. rents for
non-residential premises).
These incentives applies to households or businesses, are commensurate with a percentage of the expenditure incurred (which in some cases even
reaches 110%) and are disbursed in the form of tax credits or tax deductions (convertible, on option, into tax credits).
The holders of these credits, not refundable by the State, can use them to offset taxes and contributions or they can further transfer them (in whole
or in part) to third parties.
Starting from the third quarter of 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. launched commercial initiatives aimed at:
• providing "bridge" loans subject to the presentation of appropriate documentation proving the intervention and the future generation of tax credit, to
support the financial needs related to the cost of the interventions;
• simultaneously underwriting commitments related to the purchase of the future tax credit with the associated obligation of the assigning customer
to use the amount collected from the transfer of the tax credit to reimburse the granted "bridge" loan;
• directly purchasing tax credits from assignors who do not require any "bridge" loan.
The specific features of these tax credits are such that these assets are not in the scope of specific IAS/IFRS.
Therefore, the paragraph of IAS814 which require the management to define an accounting policy suitable for providing relevant and reliable
information is applied.
In accordance with what is indicated in the paper published by the OIC on 17 May 202015 and in Document No.9 jointly published by Banca d’Italia,
CONSOB, IVASS on 5 January 202116, it is believed that an accounting model based on IFRS9 is the accounting model more suitable for providing
relevant and reliable information.
As a result of the above, on initial recognition tax credits are booked among assets in item “130. Other assets" for a value equal to the purchase
price assumed equal to a Level 3 fair value of the fair value hierarchy.
On subsequent measurement, the provisions of IFRS9 relating to the “Held to collect portfolio” are applied. As a result, these tax credits are
measured at amortised costs recognising in the Income statement in item “10. Interest income and similar revenues" the portion, accrued in the
period, of the difference between the value at initial recognition and the value that is expected to be utilised through the offsetting with tax liabilities.
This latter value is subject to periodical re-assessment with recognition into income statement, item “10. Interest income and similar revenues” of the
associated difference in term of carrying amount to such tax credits.
As at 31 December 2020, the tax credit recognised in “Other assets” amounts to €0.1 million.
11 Either for the base rate (Avg DRF or Avg MRO) and the spread (up to -50bps with a minimum of -1% for a portion of the liability’s expected duration).
12 Similarly, to other “market indexed” variable rate notes.
13 Early termination would result in lower (i.e. more negative) EIR with additional NII effect.

The commitments connected with the purchase of the future tax credit are recognised, for a value equal to the price that will be paid when the
commitment will be used by the customer, among "Other commitments" (€1.9 million at the end of 2020) and will be subject to impairment tests in
relation to their effectively offset value with recognition in Income statement under item “200. Net provisions for risks and charges”.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the "bridge" loan (€1.2 million as at 31 December 2020) is a financial instrument that is
measured at amortised cost according to the ordinary provisions of IFRS9.
Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) transition
A comprehensive reference rates reform is currently taking place following the concerns raised in recent years about the integrity and reliability of
major financial market benchmarks. In order to assess the relevant risks associated with the global benchmark reforms mandated by the Financial
Stability Board (FSB), and taking appropriate actions to ensure an adequate transition to alternative or reformed benchmark rates ahead of the
deadline of the end of 2021 specified in the revised EU Benchmark Regulation BMR, UniCredit group launched in October 2018 a Group wide
project in order to manage the IBORs discontinuation.
Accordingly, a multiyear roadmap has been defined based on both Group exposure (mainly focused on Euro) and transition timeline.
In 2020, UniCredit has followed up the activities defined to ensure a smooth transition away from LIBOR, consistently with the latest international
working groups’ developments and recommendations.
In this sense, it is worth to mention that, after a slowdown at market level on recommendation developments, due to Covid-19 crisis, during the last
part of the year, a number of consultations have been issued both by European ECB Working Groups on Euro Risk-Free Rates, focused on Euribor
fallbacks and cessation triggers, and by other international working groups and bodies (e.g. International Swaps and Derivatives Association - ISDA;
ICE Benchmark Administration - IBA; LCH), focused on LIBOR discontinuation and alternative rates, whose outcomes will be known during 2021
and will be taken into account while envisaging recommendations and market practices to consider on transition.
At the same time, the regulatory discussion has accelerated both within European Commission (i.e. to define possible amendments to the current
Benchmark Market Regulation), within the other mainly involved international market authorities (e.g. Financial Conduct Authority and Bank of
England in the UK, New York State Department of Financial Services in the US), and at local level, in order to support a smooth transition.
Such discussions and consultation outcomes, while aimed to bring further stability in the market and reduce conduct risk, may affect timing and/or
fallback rules applied to outstanding stock of assets, liability and derivatives linked to IBOR yet to be transformed or transitioned.
To address potential source of uncertainty on the effect of the Interbank offered rates (IBOR) reform on existing accounting hedge relationships the
“Amendments to IFRS9, IAS39 and IFRS7 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” (the Amendment) clarifies that the reform does not require to terminate
such hedge relationships, whose volume as of 31 December 2020 is presented below.

The whole document is filed in the competent offices and entities as required by law.
A.2 - Main items of the accounts
It should be noted that the descriptions of the main items of the accounts reported below are also valid for the Company financial statements of
UniCredit S.p.A., unless differently stated.
1 - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
a) Financial assets held for trading
A financial asset is s classified as held for trading if it is:
• acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term;
• part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-
term profit-taking;
• a derivative contract not designated under hedge accounting, including derivatives with positive fair value embedded in financial liabilities other
than those valued at fair value with recognition of income effects through profit or loss.
Like other financial instruments, on initial recognition, at settlement date, a held-for-trading financial asset is measured at its fair value, usually equal
to the amount paid, excluding transaction costs and income, which are recognised in profit and loss even when directly attributable to the financial
assets. Held for Trading are recognised at trade date.
After initial recognition these financial assets are measured at their fair value through profit or loss.
A gain or loss arising from sale or redemption or a change in the fair value of a held for trading financial asset is recognised in income statement in
item “80. Net gains (losses) on trading”, including gains or losses related to derivative contracts that are linked to assets and/or liabilities designated
at fair value and other financial assets mandatorily at fair value. If the fair value of a financial instrument falls below zero, which may happen with
derivative contracts, it is recognised in item “20. Financial liabilities held for trading”.
A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract that has all three of the following characteristics:
• its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index
of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable (usually called the “underlying”) provided that in case of non-financial variable, this
is not specific of one of the parties to the contract;
• it requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be
expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors;
• it is settled at a future date.
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract, with the effect that
some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.
An embedded derivative is separated from financial liabilities other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss and from non-financial
instruments, and is recognised as a derivative, if:
• the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely relating to those of the host contract;
• a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative and;
• the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured entirely at fair value through profit or loss.
When an embedded derivative is separated, the host contract is accounted for according to its accounting classification.

Part A - Accounting policies
b) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss
A non-derivative financial asset can be designated at fair value if the abovementioned designation avoids accounting mismatches that arise from
measuring assets and associated liabilities according to different measurement criteria.
These assets are accounted for alike “Financial assets held for trading” however gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in
item “110. Gains (Losses) on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: a) financial assets/liabilities designated at fair value”; such
item also includes changes in fair value on “financial liabilities designated at fair value” linked to own credit risk, if such a designation creates or
increases an accounting mismatch in income statement according to IFRS9.
c) Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value
A financial asset is classified as financial asset mandatorily at fair value if it does not meet the conditions, in terms of business model or cash flow
characteristics, for being measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Specifically, the following assets have been classified in this portfolio:
• debt instruments, securities and loans for which the business model is neither held to collect nor held to collect and sell but which are not part of
the Trading book;
• debt instruments, securities and loans with cash flows that are not solely payment of principal and interest;
• units in investment funds;
• equity instruments not held for trading for which the Group does not apply the option granted by the standard of valuing these instruments at fair
value through other comprehensive income.
These assets are accounted for alike “Financial assets held for trading”, however gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised in
item “110. Gains (Losses) on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: b) Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value”.
2 - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is classified at fair value through other comprehensive income if:
• its business model is held to collect and sell;
• its cash flows are solely the payment of principal and interest.
This category also includes equity instruments not held for trading for which the Group applies the option granted by the standard of valuing the
instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
On initial recognition, at settlement date, a financial asset is measured at fair value, which is usually equal to the consideration paid, plus transaction
costs and revenues directly attributable to the instrument.
After initial recognition, the interests accrued on interest-bearing instruments are recorded in the income statement according to the amortised cost
criterion in item “10. Interest income and similar revenues” if positive, or in item “20. Interest expenses and similar charges” if negative.
The gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of other comprehensive income and reported under item
“120. Valuation reserves” in shareholders' equity (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements).
These instruments are tested for impairment as illustrated in the specific section 16 - Other Information - Impairment.
Impairment losses are recorded in the income statement in item “130. Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment relating to: b) financial assets at
fair value through other comprehensive income” with contra-entry in the statement of other comprehensive income and also reported under item
“120. Valuation reserves” in shareholders' equity (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements).
In the event of disposal, the accumulated profits and losses are recorded in the income statement in item “100. Gains (Losses) on disposal and
repurchase of: b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”.
Amounts deriving from financial assets carrying amount adjustment, gross of cumulated write-downs, in order to reflect modifications on contractual
cash flows that do not give rise to accounting derecognition, are recognised in Income statement in item “140. Gains/Losses from contractual
changes with no cancellations”; such line does not include the impact of contractual modifications on the amount of expected loss recognised in item
“130. Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment relating to: b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Such item can also include on-balance credit exposures which are already non-performing on initial recognition. These exposures are qualified as
“Purchased Originated Credit Impaired - POCI”.
The amortised cost and the interest income generated by these assets are calculated by considering, in the estimate of future cash flows, the
expected credit losses over the entire residual duration of the asset.
This expected credit loss is subject to periodic review thus determining the recognition of impairment or write-backs.
For further information on "Purchased Originated Credit Impaired” assets see the paragraph “Section 1 - Credit risk” of the Company financial
statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, The same information is also provided in
the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information
on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
With regard to equity instruments, the gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of other comprehensive
income and reported under item “120. Valuation reserves” in shareholders' equity (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial
statements).
In the event of disposal, the accumulated profits and losses are recorded in item “150. Reserves” (item “140. Reserves” in the Company financial
statements).
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS9, no impairment losses on equity instruments are recognised in the income statement. Only dividends are
recognised in Income statement within item “70. Dividend income and similar revenues”.
3 - Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset, loan or debt securities, is classified as financial asset measured at amortised cost if:
• its business model is held to collect;
• its cash flows are solely the payment of principal and interest.
These items also include the net value of finance leases of assets under construction or awaiting lease, provided the leases have the characteristics
of contracts entailing the transfer of risk.
On initial recognition, at settlement date, financial assets at amortised cost are measured at fair value, which is usually equal to the consideration
paid, plus transaction costs and income directly attributable to the instrument.
After initial recognition at fair value, these assets are measured at amortised cost which requires the recognition of interest on an accrual basis by
using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. Such interest is recognised in item “10. Interest income and similar revenues” if
positive or in item “20. Interest expenses and similar charges” if negative.
The amount of financial assets at amortised cost is adjusted in order to take into account impairment losses arising from valuation process as
illustrated in the specific section 16 - Other information - Impairment.
Impairment losses are recorded in the income statement, in item “130. Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment relating to: a) financial assets at
amortised cost”.
In the event of disposal, the accumulated profits and losses are recorded in the income statement in item “100. Gains (Losses) on disposal and
repurchase of: a) financial assets at amortised cost”.
Amounts deriving from financial assets carrying amount adjustment, gross of cumulated write-downs, in order to reflect modifications on contractual
cash flows that do not give rise to accounting derecognition, are recognised in Income statement in item “140. Gains/Losses from contractual
changes with no cancellations”; such line does not include the impact of contractual modifications on the amount of expected loss recognised in item
“130. Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment relating to: a) financial assets at amortised cost”.
Such item can also include on-balance credit exposures which are already non-performing on initial recognition. These exposures are qualified as
“Purchased Originated Credit Impaired - POCI”.
The amortised cost and the interest income generated by these assets are calculated by considering, in the estimate of future cash flows, the
expected credit losses over the entire residual duration of the asset.
This expected credit loss is subject to periodic review thus determining the recognition of impairment or write-backs.

4 - Hedge accounting
Hedging instruments are created to hedge market (interest-rate, currency and price) and/or credit risk to which the hedged positions are exposed.
They may be described as follows:
• fair value hedge: a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognised asset or liability, or an identifiable portion of such an asset or
liability;
• cash flow hedge: a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or
liability or a highly probable forecast transaction which could affect profit or loss in future periods;
• hedge of a net investment in a foreign entity, whose operations are based or conducted in a currency other than euro.
It should be noted that the Group has exercised the option to continue applying the existing IAS39 hedge accounting requirements for all its hedging
relationships until the IASB completes the project on accounting for macro-hedging.
Hedging derivatives are initially recognised on trade date and are valued at their fair value.
A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship including the risk
management objective, the strategy for undertaking the hedge, and how the hedging instrument’s prospective and retrospective effectiveness will be
assessed. It is necessary to assess the hedge’s effectiveness, at inception and in subsequent periods, in offsetting the exposure to changes in the
hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.
Generally a hedge is regarded as highly effective if, at the inception of the hedge and in subsequent periods, it is determined prospectively to remain
highly effective, and retrospectively verified that the hedge ratio (i.e. the changes in fair value of hedged items and hedging instruments) is within a
range of 80-125%. The hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and thus must prospectively remain highly effective throughout the financial
reporting periods for which the hedge has been designated.
The assessment of effectiveness is made at each balance-sheet date or other reporting date.
If the assessment does not confirm the effectiveness of the hedge, from that time on hedge accounting is discontinued in respect of the hedge and
the hedging derivative is reclassified as a held-for-trading instrument.
In addition, the hedging relationship ceases when (i) the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, (ii) the hedged item is sold,
expires or is repaid, (iii) it is no longer highly probable that the forecast transaction will occur.
Hedging instruments are so designated when identifiable with an ultimate counterparty outside the Group.
Hedging derivatives are measured at fair value. Specifically:
• fair value hedging, an effective fair value hedge is accounted for as follows: the gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair
value is recognised through profit or loss in item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting”; the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to
the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised through profit or loss in the same item. Hedging ineffectiveness
is represented by the difference between the change in the fair value of hedging instruments and the change in the fair value of hedged item. If the
hedging relationship is terminated for reasons other than the sale of the hedged item, the difference between the carrying amount of the hedged
item on termination of the hedging and the carrying amount it would have had if the hedge had never existed, is recognised through profit or loss in
interest receivable or payable over the residual life of the original hedge, in the case of interest-bearing instruments; if the financial instrument does
not bear interest, the difference is recognised in profit or loss under item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting” at once. If the hedged item
is sold or repaid, the portion of fair value which is still unamortised is at once recognised through profit or loss in item “100. Gains (Losses) on
disposal and repurchase”;
• cash flow hedging, hedging instruments are valued at fair value. Change in the fair value of a hedging instrument that is considered effective is
recognised in equity item “120. Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company Financial Statements). The ineffective portion
of the gain or loss is recognised through profit or loss in item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting”. If a cash flow hedge is determined to
be no longer effective or the hedging relationship is terminated, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that remains recognised in
item “120. Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements) from the period when the hedge was effective
remains separately recognised in revaluation reserves until the forecast hedged transaction occurs or is determined to be no longer possible; in
the latter case gains or losses are transferred through profit or loss to item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting”. The fair value changes
are recorded in the Statement of other comprehensive income and disclosed in item “120. Valuation reserves" (item “110. Valuation reserves” in
the Company financial statements);
• hedging a net investment in a foreign entity, hedges of a net investment in a foreign entity whose activities are based or conducted in a country
or currency other than those of the reporting entity are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument
relating to the effective portion of the hedge that has been recognised directly in equity is recognised through profit or loss on disposal of the
foreign entity. The fair value changes are recorded in the Statement of comprehensive income and disclosed in item “120. Valuation reserves (item
“110. Valuation reserves” in the Company Financial Statements)."; the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognised through profit or loss in
item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting”;
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 151
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
• macro-hedges of financial assets (liabilities) - IAS39 allows a fair-value item hedged against interest rate fluctuations to be not only a single
asset or liability but also a monetary position contained in a number of financial assets or liabilities (or parts of them); accordingly, a group of
derivatives can be used to offset fair-value fluctuations in hedged items due to changes in market rates. Macro-hedging may not be used for net
positions resulting from the offsetting of assets and liabilities. As for fair value micro-hedging, macrohedging is considered highly effective if, at the
inception of the hedge and in subsequent periods, changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged position are offset by changes in fair value
of the hedging instrument and if the hedge ratio is retrospectively assessed falling within the range of 80-125%. Net changes, gains or losses, in
the fair value of the macro-hedged assets and liabilities attributable to the hedged risk are recognised in asset item “60. Changes in fair value of
portfolio hedged items (+/-)” or liability item “50. Value adjustment of hedged financial liabilities (+/-)”, respectively and offset the profit and loss
item “90. Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting “.
The ineffectiveness of the hedging arises to the extent that the change in the fair value of the hedging item differs from the change in the fair value
of the hedged monetary position. The extent of hedge ineffectiveness is in any case recognised in profit and loss item “90. Net gains (losses) on
hedge accounting”.
If the hedging relationship is terminated, for reasons other than the sale of the hedged items, cumulative gain or loss in items “60. Changes in fair
value of portfolio hedged items (+/-)” or liability item “50. Value adjustment of hedged financial liabilities (+/-)” is recognised through profit or loss in
items “10. Interest income and similar revenues” or “20. Interest expenses and similar charges”, along the residual life of the hedged financial
assets or liabilities.
If the latter are sold or repaid, unamortised fair value is at once recognised through profit and loss in item “100. Gains (Losses) on disposal and
repurchase”.
5 - Equity investments
The principles governing the recognition and measurement of equity investments under IFRS10 Consolidated financial statements, IAS27 Company
financial statements, IAS28 Investments in associates and joint ventures and IFRS11 Joint Arrangements are provided in detail in the paragraph
“Section 3 - Consolidation scope and methods” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part
A - Accounting policies, A.1 - General, where disclosure on the evaluation processes and key assumptions used to assess the existence of control,
joint control or significant influence in accordance with IFRS12 (paragraphs 7-9) is provided.
The remaining interests other than subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, and interests recognised in items “120. Non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale” and “70. Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale” are classified as financial assets at
fair value through other comprehensive income or other financial assets mandatorily at fair value and accordingly accounted.
6 - Property, plant and equipment (Tangible assets)
The item includes:
• land;
• buildings;
• furniture and fixtures;
• plant and machinery;
• other machinery and equipment;
and is divided between:
• assets used in the business;
• assets held as investments;
• inventories in the scope of IAS2 standard.
This item also includes tangible assets arising from collection of collaterals.
Assets used in the business and Assets held as investments
Assets used in the business are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes and are expected to be
used for more than one period. This category also conventionally includes assets to be let or under construction and to be leased under a finance
lease, only for those finance leases which provide for retention of risk by the lessor until the acceptance of the asset by the lessee and the start of
rentals under the finance lease.
The item “Property, plant and equipment” includes assets used by the Group as lessee under a lease contract (right of use) or let/hired out by the
Group as lessor under an operating lease.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment also include leasehold improvements relating to assets which can be separately identified. They are classified
according to the specific sub-items relating to the asset type (e.g. plants).
Leasehold improvements are usually borne in order to make leased premises fit for the expected use.
Improvements and additional expenses relating to property, plant and equipment identifiable but not separable are recognised in item “130. Other
assets” (item “120. Other assets” in the Company financial statements).
Assets held for investment purposes are properties covered by IAS40, i.e. properties held (owned or under a lease contract) in order to derive
rentals and/or a capital gain.
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost including all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into use (transaction costs,
professional fees, direct transport costs incurred in bringing the asset to the desired location, installation costs and dismantling costs).
Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that there will be future economic
benefits in excess of those initially foreseen and the cost can be reliably measured. Other expenses borne at a later time (e.g. normal maintenance
costs) are recognised in the year they are incurred in profit and loss items:
• “190. Administrative expenses: b) other administrative expenses” (item “160. Administrative expenses: b) other administrative expenses of the
Company financial statements, if they refer to assets used in the business; or
• “230. Other operating expenses/income” (item “200. Other operating expenses/income” of the Company financial statements), if they refer to
property held for investment.
After being recognised as an asset:
• buildings and lands used in the business are measured according to revaluation model;
• tangible assets used in the business, different from lands and buildings, are measured according to cost model;
• buildings and lands held as investments are measured according to fair value model.
Revaluation model requires tangible assets to be exposed in Balance sheet at a value not significantly different from fair value. In this respect,
UniCredit group requests such assets to be revalued on a half year basis through “desktop” or “on site” appraisals, based on the asset relevance,
performed by external appraisers.
Positive changes in fair value are booked in Other comprehensive income statement, item “50. Tangible Assets” and, cumulated, in item “120.
Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements), unless they offset previous negative changes accounted
for in income statement in item “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value”.
Negative changes in fair value are booked in income statement in item “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets measured at fair value” (item “230. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value” in the
Company financial statements, unless they offset previous positive changes accounted for in Other comprehensive income statement, item “50.
Tangible Assets” and, cumulated, in item “120. Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements).
When the tangible asset is revalued at its fair value it is required to adjust both gross carrying amount and cumulated depreciation on the basis of
the net carrying amount revaluation.
Cost model requires the gross carrying amount to be depreciated across its useful life.
Both tangible assets measured according to revaluation model and cost model are subject to straight-line depreciation over their useful life to the
extent they have a finite useful life.
Residual useful life is usually assessed, for the Group and UniCredit S.p.A. as follows:

Depreciations are accounted for, period by period, in item “210. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” (item “180. Net
value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” in the Company financial statements).
An item with an indefinite useful life is not depreciated.

Part A - Accounting policies
Lands and buildings are recognised separately, even if acquired together. Land is not depreciated since it usually has an indefinite useful life.
Buildings have instead a finite useful life and are therefore subject to depreciation.
The estimate of the useful life of an asset is reviewed at least at each accounting period-end on the basis inter alia of the conditions of use of the
asset, of maintenance conditions and expected obsolescence and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the depreciation amount for the
current and subsequent financial years is adjusted accordingly.
If there is clear evidence that an asset measure according to cost model has been impaired the carrying amount of the asset is compared with its
recoverable value, equal to the greater of its fair value less selling cost and its value in use, i.e., the present value of future cash flow expected to
originate from the asset. Any value adjustment is recognised in profit and loss item “210. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and
equipment” (item “180. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” in the Company financial statements).
If the value of a previously impaired asset is restored, its increased carrying amount cannot exceed the net carrying amount it would have had if
there had been no losses recognised on the prior-year impairment.
Buildings and land held as investments, including right of use on land and buildings classified as held for investment, are measured according to fair
value model which requires to account for in income statement in item “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets measured at fair value” (item “230. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value” in the
Company financial statements), changes in fair value. Such assets are not subject to depreciation and impairment test.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised (i) on disposal or (ii) when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or sale in
the future and any difference between sale proceeds or recoverable value and carrying value is recognised in profit and loss item “280. Gains
(losses) on disposals on investments”, “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value” or
“210. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” (item “250. Gains (Losses) on disposals on investments”, 230. Net gains
(losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value, or 180. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant
and equipment” in the company financial statements). For tangible assets measured according to revalued amount, any gain from disposal,
including amounts cumulated in item “120. Valuation reserves”, (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements) is reclassified
to item “150 Reserves” (item “140. Reserves in the Company financial statements) with no impact in income statement.
Inventories in the scope of IAS2 standard
Inventories are assets held for sale in the ordinary course of business. They are accounted for at the lower of their carrying amounts and net
realizable value.
Any value adjustment arising from the application of the aforementioned criterion is recognised under item “210. Net value adjustments/write-backs
on property, plant and equipment” (item “180. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” in the Company financial
statements).
7 - Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance which is expected to be used for more than one period,
controlled by the Group and from which future economic benefits are probable.
Intangible assets are principally goodwill, software, brands and patents.
This item also includes intangible assets used by the Group as lessee under finance leases or as lessor under operating leases (rental/hire).
Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognised at purchase cost, i.e. including cost incurred to bring the asset into use, less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses.
In case of internally generated software the expenses incurred to develop the project are recognised under intangible assets only if the following
elements are demonstrated: the technical feasibility of the project, the intention to complete the intangible asset, its future usefulness, the availability
of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to
the intangible asset during its development.
An intangible asset with a finite life is subject to straight-line amortisation over its estimated useful life.
Residual useful life is usually assessed as follows:
• software
• other intangible assets
up to 7 years;
up to 20 years.
Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortised.
154 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
If there is clear evidence that an asset has been impaired, the carrying amount of the asset is compared with its recoverable value, equal to the
greater of its fair value less selling costs and its value in use, i.e. the present value of future cash flows expected to originate from the asset.
Any impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss item “220. Net value adjustments/write-backs on intangible assets”.
For an intangible asset with indefinite life even if there are no indications of impairment, the carrying amount is compared annually with its
recoverable value. If the carrying amount is greater than the recoverable value, the difference is recognised in profit and loss item “220. Net value
adjustments/write-backs on intangible assets”.
If the value of a previously impaired intangible asset, other than goodwill is restored, its increased carrying amount cannot exceed the net carrying
amount it would have had if there were no losses recognised on the prior-years impairment.
An intangible asset is derecognised (i) on disposal or (ii) when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or sale in the future and
any difference between sale proceeds or recoverable value and carrying value is recognised in the profit and loss item “280. Gains (Losses) on
disposals on investments” or “220. Net value adjustments/write-backs on intangible assets”, respectively.
Goodwill
In accordance with IFRS3 goodwill, booked in the Consolidated financial statements is the excess of the cost of a business combination over the
interest acquired in the net fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries is recognised as an intangible asset, whereas goodwill arising from the acquisition of
associates is included in the carrying amount of the investments in associates.
At a subsequent financial reporting date, goodwill is recognised net of any cumulative impairment losses and is not amortised.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, as for other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. To this end it is allocated to the Group’s
business areas identified as the Cash Generating Units (CGUs). Goodwill is monitored by the CGUs at the lowest level in the Group in line with its
business model.
Impairment losses on goodwill are recognised in profit and loss item “270. Goodwill impairment”. In respect of goodwill, no write-backs are allowed.
For futher information on intangible assets, goodwill, CGUs and related impairment tests see paragraph “10.3 Intangible assets: other information” of
the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part B - Section 10 Intangible assets - Item 100.
8 - Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale
These categories include individual assets held for disposal (tangible, intangible and financial assets) or groups of assets held for sale, with the
related liabilities, as required by IFRS5.
Individual assets (or groups of assets held for sale) are recognised in item “120. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale”
and item “70. Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale” (item “110. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for
sale” and “70. Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale” in the Company financial statements) respectively, at the lower of their
carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell.
The revaluation reserves relating to non-current assets classified as held for sale, which are recorded as a contra item to changes in value relevant
for this purpose, are reported separately in the Statement of other comprehensive income (see “Part D - Consolidated other comprehensive income”
of the of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group).
The net balance of profits (dividends, interest income, etc.) and losses (interest expense, etc.) attributable to discontinued operations are recognised
in the income statement under item “320. Profit (Loss) after tax from discontinued operations” (item .290. Profit (Loss) after tax from discontinued
operations” in the Company financial statements). Profits and losses attributable to individual assets or disposal groups, that do not constitute
discontinued operations, held for disposal are recognised in the income statement under the appropriate item.

Part A - Accounting policies
9 - Current and deferred tax
Tax assets and tax liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated balance sheet respectively in item “110. Tax assets” and item “60. Tax liabilities”
(item “100. Tax assets” and” 60. Tax liabilities” in the Company financial statements).
In compliance with the “balance sheet method”, current and deferred tax items are:
• current tax assets, i.e. amount of tax paid in excess of income tax due in accordance with local tax regulations;
• current tax liabilities, i.e. amount of corporate tax due in accordance with local tax regulations;
• deferred tax assets, i.e. amounts of income tax recoverable in future fiscal years and attributable to:
- deductible temporary differences;
- the carryforward of unused tax losses; and
- the carryforward of unused tax credits;
• deferred tax liabilities, i.e. the amounts of income tax due in future fiscal years in respect of taxable temporary differences.
Current and deferred tax assets and tax liabilities are calculated in accordance with local tax regulations and are recognised in profit or loss on an
accrual basis.
In general, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise when there is a difference between the accounting treatment and the tax treatment of the carrying
amount of an asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised applying tax rates that at the balance sheet date are expected to apply in the period when the
carrying amount of the asset will be recovered or the liability will be settled on the basis of tax regulations in force, and are periodically reviewed in
order to reflect any changes in regulations.
In addition, under the tax consolidation system adopted, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient
taxable profit will be generated by the entity. In accordance with the provisions of IAS12, the probability that sufficient future taxable profit against
which the deferred tax assets can be utilised will be available is reviewed periodically. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets should be reduced
to the extent that it is not probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.
Current and deferred taxes are recognised in profit and loss item “300. Tax expense (income) for the period from continuing operations” (item “270.
Tax expenses (income) for the year from continuing operations” in the Company financial statements”), except for tax referred to items that in the
same or in another fiscal year are credited or charged directly to equity, such as those relating to gains or losses on financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income and those relating to changes in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments, whose changes in value are
recognised, net of tax, directly in the Statement of other comprehensive income among Revaluation reserves.
Current tax assets and liabilities are presented on the Balance sheet net of the related current tax liabilities if the following requirements are met:
• existence of a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognised; and
• the intention to extinguish for the remaining net, or realise the asset and at the same time extinguish the liability.
Deferred tax assets are presented on the Balance sheet net of the related deferred tax liabilities if the following requirements are met:
• existence of an enforceable right to offset current tax assets with current tax liabilities; and
• the deferred tax assets and liabilities must relate to income taxes applied to the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different
taxable entities that intend to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis (normally in presence of a tax consolidation contract).
10 - Provisions for risks and charges
Commitments and guarantees given
Provisions for risks and charges for commitments and guarantees given are recognised against all revocable and irrevocable commitments and
guarantees whether they are in scope of IFRS9 or IAS37.
The item hosts the estimates of expected loss calculated on these instruments resulting from valuation process as described in Section 16 - Other
Information - Impairment.
156 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The provision of the period is accounted under item “200. Net provisions for risks and charges: a) commitments and financial guarantees given”
(item “170. Net provisions for risks and charges a) commitments and financial guarantees given in the Company financial statements).
Note that all contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails
to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument are considered financial guarantees.
Retirement payments and similar obligations
Retirement provisions, i.e. provisions for employee benefits payable after the completion of employment, are defined as contribution plans or
defined-benefit plans according to the nature of the plan.
In detail:
• Defined-benefit plans provide a series of benefits depending on factors such as age, years of service and compensation policies. Under this type
of plan actuarial and investment risks are borne by the company;
• Defined-contribution plans are plans under which the company makes fixed contributions. Benefits are the result of the amount of contributions
paid and return on contributions invested. The employer bears no actuarial and/or investment risks connected with this type of plans as it has no
legal or implicit obligation to make further contributions, should the plan not be sufficient to provide benefits to all employees.
Defined-benefit plans are present-valued by an external actuary using the “Unit Credit Projection method”.
This method distributes the cost of benefits uniformly over the employee’s working life. Obligations are the present value of average future benefits
pro rata to the ratio of years of service to theoretical seniority at the time of benefit payment.
More specifically, the amount recognised according to IAS19 Revised as a net liability/asset in item “100. Provisions for risks and charges: b) post-
retirement benefit obligations” is the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date, less any pension charges relating to benefits already
provided but not yet recognised, less the fair value at the balance sheet date of plan assets other than those due to directly settle the obligations
adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. Actuarial gains or losses are recorded in the Statement of other
comprehensive income and disclosed in item “120. Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial statements).
The discount rate used to discount obligations (whether financed or not) relating to benefits to be provided after retirement varies according to the
currency of denomination and country where the liabilities are allocated and is determined on the basis of market yield at the balance sheet date of
prime issuers’ bonds (High Quality Corporate Bonds - “HQCB”) with an average life in keeping with that of the relevant liability.
Other provisions
Provisions for risks and charges are recognised when:
• the entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
• it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
• a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amounts recognised as provisions are the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation. The risks and uncertainties
that inevitably surround the relevant events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching the best estimate of a provision.
In particular, where the effect of the time value of money is significant, the amount of the provision should be the present value of the best estimate
of the cost required to settle the obligation. The discount rate used reflects the current market assessments.
Provisions are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it becomes clear that it is no longer probable that an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Provisions are used only for expenses for which they were originally recognised. Allocations made in the year are recognised in profit and loss item
“200. Net provisions for risks and charges: b) other net provisions” (item “170. Net provisions for risks and charges: b) other net provisions” in the
Company financial statements) and include increases due to the passage of time; they are also net of any reversals.
“Other provisions” also include obligations relating to benefits due to agents, specifically supplementary customer portfolio payments, merit
payments, contractual payments and payments under non-competition agreements, which are measured as per defined benefit plans; accordingly
these obligations are calculated using the “Unit Credit Projection method” (see previous paragraph “Retirement payments and similar obligations”).

11 - Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise financial instruments (other than liabilities held for trading or those designated at fair value)
representing the various forms of third-party funding.
These financial liabilities are recognised at settlement date initially at fair value, which is normally the consideration received less transaction costs
directly attributable to the financial liability. Subsequently these instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Such interest is recognised in item “20. Interest expenses and similar charges” if negative or in item “10. Interest income and similar revenues” if
positive.
Instruments indexed to equity instruments, foreign exchange, credit instruments or indexes, are treated as structured instruments. The embedded
derivative is separated from the host contract and recognised as a derivative, provided that separation requirements are met, and recognised at fair
value. The embedded derivative is recognised at its fair value, classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading and subsequently measured
at fair value through profit or loss with changes in fair value recognised in income statement in item “80. Net gains (losses) on trading”.
The difference between the total amount received and the initial fair value of the embedded derivative is attributed to the host contract.
Instruments convertible into treasury shares imply recognition, at the issuance date, of a financial liability and of the equity part to be recognised in
item “140. Equity instruments” (item “130. Equity instruments” in the Company financial statements), if a physical delivery settles the contract.
The equity part is initially measured at the residual value, i.e. the overall value of the instrument less the separately determined value of a financial
liability with no conversion clause and the same cash flows.
The resulting financial liability is recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised in case of redemption, prepayment, significant amendments to contractual conditions that determine a change
in their present value which exceeds the threshold defined by the accounting standard o in case of re-purchase. When derecognition arises from
significant amendments or re-purchase, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the amount arising from the amendments or
paid for the repurchase is recognised in profit or loss in item “100. Gains (Losses) on disposal and repurchase of: c) financial liabilities”. Subsequent
disposal by the issuer is considered as a new issue which doesn’t produce gains or losses.
12 - Financial liabilities held for trading
Financial liabilities held for trading include:
• derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments;
• obligations to deliver financial assets borrowed by a short seller (i.e. an entity that sells financial assets it does not yet own);
• financial liabilities issued with an intention to repurchase them in the short term;
• financial liabilities that are part of a portfolio of financial instruments considered as a unit and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of
trading.
Financial liabilities held for trading, including derivatives, are measured at fair value on initial recognition and during the life of the transaction.
A gain or loss arising from change in the fair value of a HfT financial liability is recognised in profit or loss in item “80. Net gains (losses) on trading”.
Financial liabilities are derecognised in case of redemption, prepayment, significant amendments to contractual conditions that determine a change
in their present value which exceeds the threshold defined by the accounting standard o in case of re-purchase. When derecognition arises from
significant amendments or re-purchase, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the amount arising from the amendments or
paid for the repurchase is recognised in profit or loss in item “80. Net gains (losses) on trading” the subsequent disposal by the issuer is considered
as a new issue which doesn’t produce gains or losses.
13 - Financial liabilities designated at fair value
Financial liabilities, like financial assets may also be designated, according to IFRS9, on initial recognition as measured at fair value, provided that:
• this designation eliminates or considerably reduces an accounting or measurement inconsistency that would arise from the application of different
methods of measurement to assets and liabilities and related gains or losses; or
• a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both are managed and measured at fair value under risk management or investment strategy
which is internally documented with the entity’s key management personnel.
This category may also include financial liabilities represented by hybrid (combined) instruments containing embedded derivatives that otherwise
should have been separated from the host contract.
158 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Financial liabilities presented in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition and for the life of the transaction.
The changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement in item “110. Gains (Losses) on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss a) financial assets/liabilities designated at fair value” except for any changes in fair value arising from changes in their creditworthiness,
which are shown under item “120. Valuation reserves” of shareholders’ equity (item “110. Valuation reserves in the Company Financial Statements)
unless such accounting results in an inconsistency that arises from the application of different methods of measuring assets and liabilities and
related gains or losses, in which case also the changes in fair value deriving from changes in creditworthiness are recorded in the income statement.
Financial liabilities are derecognised in case of redemption, prepayment, significant amendments to contractual conditions that determine a change
in their present value which exceeds the threshold defined by the accounting standard o in case of re-purchase. When derecognition arises from
significant amendments or re-purchase, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the amount arising from the amendments or
paid for the repurchase is recognised in profit or loss in item “110. Gains (Losses) on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss a)
financial assets/liabilities designated at fair value” while the balance of cumulated changes in fair value due to own credit risk booked in item “120.
Valuation reserves” is reclassified in item “150. Reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” and item “140. Reserves” in the Company financial
statements the subsequent disposal by the issuer is considered as a new issue which doesn’t produce gains or losses.
14 - Foreign currency transactions
A foreign currency transaction is recognised at the spot exchange rate of the transaction date.
Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate of the period.
Exchange differences arising from settlement of monetary items at rates different from those of the transaction date and unrealised exchange rate
differences on foreign currency assets and liabilities not yet settled, other than assets and liabilities designated as measured at fair value and
hedging instruments, are recognised in profit and loss item “80. Net gains (losses) on trading”.
Exchange rate differences arising on a monetary item that is part of an entity’s net investment in a foreign operation whose activities are based or
conducted in a country or currency other than those of the reporting entity are initially recognised in the entity’s equity, and recognised in profit or
loss on disposal of the net investment.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities recognised at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the closing rate. In this case the exchange
differences are recognised:
• in profit and loss if the financial asset is classified in a portfolio measured at fair value through profit or loss; or
• in the Statement of other comprehensive income, and disclosed in the Revaluation reserves, if the financial asset is classified in “Financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income”.
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised similarly to cash flow hedges.
For the purposes of the Consolidated Financial Statements only the assets and liabilities of fully consolidated foreign entities are translated at the
closing exchange rate of each period. Gains and losses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Differences arising from the use
of closing exchange rates and from the average exchange rates and from the remeasurement of the initial net amount of the assets of a foreign
company at the closing rate are classified directly in item “120. Valuation reserves”.
Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation realised after IAS First Time Adoption (i.e., 1 January 2004) whose assets are located
or managed in a currency other than the euro, and any fair value adjustments of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are treated as assets
and liabilities of the foreign operation, expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange rate differences, classified in an equity reserve, is reclassified in profit
or loss.
All exchange differences recorded under revaluation reserves in Shareholders’ equity are also reported in the Statement of other comprehensive
income.

Impairment
Loans and debt securities classified as financial assets at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and
relevant off-balance sheet exposures are tested for impairment as required by IFRS9.
In this regard, these instruments are classified in Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 according to their absolute or relative credit quality with respect to
initial disbursement. Specifically:
• Stage 1: includes (i) newly issued or acquired credit exposures, (ii) exposures for which credit risk has not significantly deteriorated since initial
recognition, (iii) exposures having low credit risk (low credit risk exemption);
• Stage 2: includes credit exposures that, although performing, have seen their credit risk significantly deteriorating since initial recognition;
• Stage 3: includes impaired credit exposures.
For exposures in Stage 1, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon of up to one year.
For exposures in Stages 2 or 3, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon corresponding to the entire life of the
exposure.
The allocation of credit exposures in one of the abovementioned stages is done at initial recognition, when the exposures is classified at Stage 1 and
it is periodically reviewed based on “stage allocation” rules as specified in the paragraph “Section 1 - Credit risk” of the Company financial
statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, The same information is also provided in
the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information
on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
In order to calculate the expected loss and the related loan loss provision, the Bank uses Probability of Default (“PD”), Loss Given Default (“LGD”)
and Exposure at Default (“EAD”) parameters, used for regulatory purposes and adjusted in order to ensure that impairment measurement
represents values which are “point in time”, “forward looking” and inclusive of multiple scenarios. In this respect see the paragraph “Section 1 -
Credit risk” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies.
The same information is also provided in the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the
consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
With reference to Stage 3, it should be noted that it includes impaired exposures corresponding to the aggregate Non-Performing Exposures as ITS
EBA (EBA/ITS/2013/03/rev1 7/24/2014), in accordance with Banca d’Italia rules, defined in Circular No.272 of 30 July 2008 and subsequent
updates.
In particular EBA has defined as “Non-Performing” the exposures that meet one or both of the following criteria:
• material exposures with more than 90 days past due;
• exposures for which the bank values that is unlikely that the debtor would pay in full his credit obligations without recurring to enforcement and
realisation of collaterals, regardless of past due exposures and the number of days the exposure is past due.
In addition, the abovementioned Circular No.272 establishes that the aggregate of impaired assets is divided into the following categories:
• Bad loans: cash and off-balance exposures to borrowers in a state of insolvency (even when not recognised in a court of law) or in an essentially
similar situation. The assessment is generally carried out on an analytical basis (also through the comparison with coverage levels statistically
defined for credit portfolios below a predefined threshold) or, in case of non-significant individually amounts, on a flat-rate basis for homogeneous
types of exposures;
• Unlikely to pay: cash and off-balance exposures for which conditions for evaluating the debt as bad loan are not met and for which it is unlikely
that without recurring to enforcement of collaterals the debtor is able to pay in full (capital and/or interests) his credit obligations. Such assessment
is made independently of any past due and unpaid amount/instalments. The classification among unlikely to pay is not necessarily linked to
anomalies (non-repayment), rather it is linked to factors that indicate a situation of risk of default of the debtor. Unlikely to pay are generally
accounted analytically (also through the comparison with coverage levels statistically defined for credit portfolios below a predefined threshold) or
on a flat-rate basis for homogeneous types of exposures. The exposures classified among unlikely to pay and qualified as so-called forborne can
be reclassified among non-impaired receivables only after at least one year has elapsed from the time of granting and the conditions indicated in
paragraph 157 of EBA Implementing Technical Standards;
160 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
• With reference to their evaluation:
- they are generally analytically evaluated and may include the discounted charge deriving from the possible renegotiation of the rate at conditions
below the original contractual rate;
- the renegotiations of loans that require their derecognition in exchange of shares through “debt-to-equity swap” transactions requires the
assessment, before executing the swap, of the credit exposures in accordance with stipulated agreements at the date of preparation of the
financial statements. Any differences between the value of receivables and the value at initial recognition of equity instruments is accounted in
income statement in the impairment losses;
• Past due exposures: cash exposures different from those classified as non-performing loans and unlikely to pay that at the reporting date are past
due. Past due exposures can be determined referring alternatively to individual debtor or individual transaction. In particular they represent an
entire exposure to counterparties different from those classified as unlikely to pay and bad loans that at the reporting date show past due
receivables from more than 90 days as well as requirements established by local prudential regulation for the inclusion of these credits into “past
due” (standardised banks) or “default exposures” (IRB banks).
Past due exposures are evaluated on a on a flat-rate basis on historical/statistical basis, applying, if available, the riskiness identified by the risk
factor used for the purposes of EU Regulation No.575/2013 (CRR) relating to prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms
(LGD - Loss Given Default).
Allowances for impairment of loans and receivables are based on the present value of expected cash flows of principal and interest. In determining
the present value of future cash flows, the basic requirement is the identification of estimated collections, the timing of payments and the discount
rate used.
In particular, the amount of the loss on impaired exposures classified as bad loans and unlikely to pay, according to the categories specified above,
is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the original interest rate of the financial
asset.
For all fixed rate positions, the interest rate thus determined is kept constant in subsequent financial years, while for floating rate positions the
interest rate is updated according to contractual terms.
If the original interest rate cannot be found, or if finding it would be excessively burdensome, the rate that best approximates is applied, also
recurring to “practical expedients” that do not alter the substance, and ensure consistency with the international accounting standards.
Recovery times are estimated on the basis of business plans or forecasts based on historical recovery experience observed for similar classes of
loans, taking into account the customer segment, the type of loan, the type of security and any other factors considered relevant.
Also the impairment on impaired exposures was calculated as required by the accounting standard to include (i) the adjustments necessary to reach
the calculation of a point-in-time and forward-looking loss and (ii) multiple scenarios applicable to this type of exposure including any sale scenarios
in case the Bank’s NPL strategy foresees the recovery through sale on the market according to what is specified in the paragraph “Section 1 - Credit
risk” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies. The same
information is also provided in the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated
accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
If there are no reasonable expectations to recover a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof, the gross exposure is subject to write-off.
Write-off, that may involve either a full or a part of a financial asset, might be accounted for before that the legal actions, activated to recover the
credit exposure, are closed and doesn’t imply the forfeiture of the legal right to recover. In this context the Group has developed a specific guideline
that assess the need to recognise a write-off. For further information see the paragraph “Section 1 - Credit risk” of the Company financial statements

Renegotiations
Renegotiations of financial instruments which cause a change in contractual conditions are accounted for depending on the significance of the
contractual change itself.
In particular, when renegotiations are not considered significant the gross exposure is re-determined through the calculation of the present value of
cash flows following the renegotiation at the original effective interest rate.
The difference between the gross exposure before and after renegotiation, adjusted to consider changes in the related loan loss provision, is
recognised in income statement as modification gain or loss.
In this regard, renegotiations achieved both by amending the original contract or by closing a new one, are considered significant when they
determine the expiry of the right to receive cash flows accordingly to the original contract.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
In particular, the rights to receive cash flows are considered as expired in case of renegotiations that introduce contractual clauses which determine
a change in the financial instrument classification, which determine a change in the currency or which are carried out at market conditions therefore
without causing credit concession.
Business combinations
A business combination is a transaction through which an entity obtains control of a company or of a business segment, thus bringing together
different businesses into one reporting entity.
A business combination may result in a Parent-subsidiary relationship in which the acquirer is the Parent and the acquiree is a subsidiary of the
acquirer. A business combination may involve the purchase of the net assets of another entity, in which case goodwill can arise, or the purchase of
the equity of the other entity (mergers).
IFRS3 requires that all business combinations shall be accounted for by applying the purchase method, that involves the following steps:
• identifying an acquirer;
• measuring the cost of the business combination, and:
• allocating, at the acquisition date, the cost of the business combination to the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.
The cost of a business combination is the aggregate of the fair value, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and
equity instruments issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquiree.
The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree. When this is achieved through a single exchange
transaction, the date of exchange coincides with the acquisition date.
A business combination may involve more than one exchange transaction; nevertheless, the cost of the business combination remains equal to the
fair value of the total shareholding acquired.
This involves the revaluation at fair value, with the recognition of the effects in the income statement - of the equity investments previously held in
the acquired entity.
The cost of a business combination is allocated by recognising the assets, the liabilities and the identifiable contingent liabilities of the acquired
company at their acquisition-date fair value.
Exceptions to this principle are deferred income tax assets and liabilities, employee benefits, indemnification assets, reacquired rights, non-current
assets held for sale, and share-based payment transactions that are subject to review in accordance with the principle applicable to them.
Positive difference between the cost of the business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities so recognised is accounted for as goodwill.
After initial recognition, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually.
In the case of the Consolidated Financial Statements if the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the acquirer shall reassess the fair values and recognise immediately any excess remaining
after that reassessment in profit or loss.
If the acquisition concerns a percentage less than 100% of the assets of the acquired company, minorities are recognised.
At the acquisition date, minorities are valued:
• at fair value, or
• as a proportion of minority interests in the assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities of the acquired company.
Derecognition of financial assets
Derecognition is the removal of a previously recognised financial asset from an entity’s balance sheet.
Before evaluating whether, and to what extent, derecognition is appropriate, under IFRS9 an entity should determine whether the relevant conditions
apply to a financial asset in its entirety or to a part of a financial asset. The standard is applied to a part of financial assets being transferred if, and
only if, the part being considered for derecognition meets one of the following conditions:
• the part comprises only specifically identified cash flows from a financial asset, or a group of assets, (e.g. interest cash flows from an asset);
• the part comprises a clearly identified percentage of the cash flows from a financial asset, (e.g. a 90% share of all cash flows from an asset);
• the part comprises only a fully proportionate (pro rata) share of specifically identified cash flow, (e.g. 90% share of interest cash flows from an
asset).
In all other cases, the standard is applied to the financial asset in its entirety (or to the group of similar financial assets in their entirety).
162 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
An entity shall derecognise a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the
contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset to a non-Group counterparty.
Rights to cash flow are considered to be transferred even if contractual rights to receive the asset’s cash flow are retained but there is an obligation
to pay this cash flow to one or more entities and all the following conditions are fulfilled (pass-through agreement):
• there is no obligation on the Group to pay amounts not received from the original asset;
• sale or pledge of the original asset is not allowed, unless it secures the obligation to pay cash flow;
• the Group is obliged to transfer forthwith all cash flows received and may not invest them, except for liquidity invested for the short period between
the date of receipt and that of payment, provided that the interest accrued in that period is paid on.
Recognition is also subject to verification of effective transfer of all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. If the entity transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the entity shall derecognise the asset (or group of assets) and recognise
separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.
Conversely, if the entity substantially retains all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset (or group of assets), the entity shall continue to
recognise the transferred asset(s). In this case it is necessary to recognise a liability corresponding to the amount received under the transfer and
subsequently recognise all income accruing on the asset and expense accruing on the liability.
The main transactions that do not allow, under the above rules, total derecognition of a financial asset are securitisations, repurchase (sell and buy-
backs) and stock lending transactions.
In the case of securitisations the Group does not derecognise the financial asset on purchase of the equity tranche or provision of other types of
support of the structure which result in the Group retaining the credit risk of the securitised portfolio.
In the case of repurchase transactions and stock lending, the assets transacted are not derecognised since the terms of the transaction entail the
retention of all their risks and rewards.
Finally, it should be noted that securities lending transactions collateralised by other securities or not collateralised were recorded as off-balance
sheet items.
Repo transactions and securities lending
Securities received in a transaction that entails a contractual obligation to sell them at a later date or delivered under a contractual obligation to
repurchase are neither recognised nor derecognised. In respect of securities purchased under an agreement to resell, the consideration is
recognised as a loan to customers or banks among financial assets at amortised cost, or as an asset held for trading. In respect of securities held in
a repurchase agreement, the liability is recognised as due to banks or customers among financial liabilities at amortised cost, or as an held for
trading financial liability. Revenue from these loans, being the coupons accrued on the securities and the difference between the sale/purchase and
resale/repurchase prices, is recognised in profit or loss through interest income and expenses on an accrual basis.
These transactions can only be offset if, and only if, they are carried out with the same counterparty and provided that such offset is provided for in
the underlying contracts.
The same rules apply to securities lending transactions collateralised by cash fully available to the lender.
The income statement items connected with these transactions are booked respectively:
• in item Interest, with respect to the positive item (borrower) and the negative item (lender) relating to the return on cash paid to the lender;
• in item Fees and commissions, with respect to the negative item (borrower) and the positive item (lender) relating to the service provided by the
lender by making the security available.
With reference to securities lending transactions collateralised by other securities, or not collateralised, the security lent or the security put up as
collateral are still recognised as assets in the balance sheet, depending on the role, lender or borrower, respectively, played in the transaction.
Counterparty risk relating to the latter securities lending or borrowing transactions is shown under the off-balance sheet exposures in the tables
reported in the paragraph “A. Credit quality”, of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E
- Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Quantitative information.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments are instruments that represent a residual interest in Group’s assets net of its liabilities.
Classification of an issued instrument as equity is possible only if there are no contractual obligation to make payments in form of capital
redemptions, interest or other kinds of returns.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 163
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
In particular, instruments having the following features are classified as equity instruments:
• the instrument is perpetual or has a maturity equal to duration of the entity;
• full discretion of the issuer in coupon payments and redemptions, also advanced, of the principal outstanding.
Additional Tier 1 instruments are included in this category, in line with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (CRR) on prudential
requirements for credit institutions and investment firms, if, additionally to the characteristics described above:
• maintain within the full discretion of the issuer the possibility to perform a write-up of the nominal value after the occurrence of a capital event that
has determined a write-down;
• do not incorporate outlook that force the issuer to provide for payments (must-pay clauses) following genuine events under the direct control of the
parties.
Equity instruments, different from common or saving shares, are presented in item “140. Equity instruments” (item “130. Equity instruments” in the
Company financial statements) for the consideration received including transaction costs directly attributable to the instruments.
Any coupon paid, net of related taxes, reduces item “150. Reserves” (item “140. Reserves” in the Company financial statements).
Any difference between the amounts paid for the redemption or repurchase of these instruments and their carrying value is recognised in item “150.
Reserves (item “140. Reserves” in the Company financial statements)”.
Treasury Shares
Changes in treasury shares are reported as a direct contra item to shareholders' equity, i.e. as a reduction to the latter in the amount of any
purchases, and as an increase in the amount of any sales proceeds. This entails that, if treasury shares are subsequently sold, the difference
between the sale price and the related post-tax repurchase cost is recognised entirely as a contra item to Shareholders' equity.
Leases
Lease contracts shall be classified by the lessor in finance leases or operating leases.
Finance leases effectively transfer all the risks and benefits of ownership of an asset to the lessee.
The lessee acquires the economic benefit of the use of the leased asset for most of its useful life, in exchange for a commitment to pay to the lessor
an amount approximately equivalent to the fair value of the asset and related finance costs. Recognition in the lessor’s accounts is as follows:
• in assets, the value of the loan, less the principal of lease payments due and paid by the lessee;
• in profit or loss, interest received.
Operating leases do not transfer all the risks and benefits of ownership of an asset to the lessee which are therefore retained by the lessor.
In case of operating leases, the lessor recognises in the income statement the leases payments on an accrual basis.
The lessee recognises an asset representing the right of use of the underlying asset and, at the same time, a liability for the future payments
requested by the lease contract.
It should be noted that as allowed by the standard, the Group has decided not to recognise any right of use nor lease liability with reference to the
following lease contracts:
• leases of intangible assets;
• short term leases, lower than 12 months; and
• low value assets leases. For this purpose, an asset is considered as “low value” when its fair value as new is equal to or lower than €5 thousand.
This category mainly comprises office equipment (PC, monitors, tablets, etc.) and fixed and mobile phones.
Therefore, lease payments concerning these kind of lease assets are recognised in item “190. Administrative expenses” on an accrual basis (item
“160. Administrative expenses” in the Company financial statements).
With reference to contracts different from those mentioned above, the lease liability, recognised in Item “10. Financial liabilities at amortised cost”, is
determined by discounting the future lease payments to be due over the lease term at the proper discount rate.
Future lease payments subject to discounting are determined based on contractual provisions and net of VAT, when applicable, as the obligation to
pay this tax starts when the invoice is issued by the lessor and not at the starting date of the lease contract.
In addition, if the lease payments foreseen by the contracts include additional services beside the mere rental of the asset, the right of use and the
associated lease liability are calculated considering also these components.
164 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
To perform the mentioned calculation, lease payments have to be discounted at the interest rate implicit in the contract or, if it is not available, at the
incremental borrowing rate. The key assumption followed to calculate this rate is that the lessee incurs a loan, senior secured, having the same
maturity of the lease contract in order to acquire the assets underlying the contract itself. The resulting rate, where necessary, is adjusted in order to
consider the specific features of the lease contract.
In order to determine the lease term it is necessary to consider the non-cancellable period, established in the contract, in which the lessee is entitled
to use the underlying asset taking also into account potential renewal options if the lessee is reasonably certain to renew.
In particular, with reference to those contracts that allow the lessee to tacitly renew the lease contract after a first set of years, the lease term is
determined taking into account factors such as the length of the first period, the existence of dismissal plans for the asset leased and any other
circumstance indicating the reasonably certainty of the renewal.
The right of use is initially recognised in item “90. Property, plant and equipment” (item “80. Property, plant and equipment” in the Company financial
statements) on the basis of the initial recognition amount of the associated lease liability, adjusted to consider, if applicable, lease payments made at
or before the commencement of the lease, initial direct costs and estimates of costs required to restore the assets to the conditions requested by the
terms of the lease contract.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, interests accrue on the lease liability at the interest rate implicit in the contract and are recognised in item “20.
Interest expenses and similar charges”.
The amount of the lease liability is reassessed in case of changes in the lease term, also arising from a change in the assessment of an option to
purchase the leased asset, or in the lease payments, either coming from a change in an index or rate used to determine these payments or as a
result of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantees.
In these cases, the carrying value of the lease liability is calculated by discounting lease payments over the lease term using the original or a revised
discount rate as applicable.
Changes in the amount of the lease liability resulting from the reassessment are recognised as an adjustment of the right of use.
In case of modification of a lease contracts, the lessee recognises an additional separate lease if the modification increases the scope of the lease
adding to the right of use one or more assets and the consideration to be paid for such increase is commensurate with the stand-alone price of the
increase.
For other types of modifications the lease liability is recalculated by discounting the lease payments for the revised lease term using a revised
discount rate.
Changes in the Lease liabilities also adjust the carrying value of the corresponding right of use with the exception of gains/losses relating to the
partial or full termination of the lease that are recognised in the income statement.
After the initial recognition the right of use is depreciated over the lease term and subject to impairment if applicable. Depreciation and impairment,
determined using the same criteria used for tangible assets and also considering the actual usage of the leased assets, are recognised in item “210.
Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and equipment” (item “180. Net value adjustments/write-backs on property, plant and
equipment” in the Company financial statements). The useful life used for calculating the depreciation of leasehold improvements shall not exceed
the useful life attributed to the right of use.
Factoring
Loans acquired in factoring transactions with recourse are recognised to the extent of the advances granted to customers on their consideration.
Loans acquired without recourse are recognised as such once it has been established that there are no contractual clauses that would invalidate the
transfer of all risks and benefits to the factor.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled payments made to employees or other staff in consideration of goods received or services rendered, using equity instruments
comprise:
• stock options;
• performance shares (i.e. awarded on attainment of certain objectives);
• restricted shares (i.e. subject to a lock-up period).
Considering the difficulty of reliably measuring the fair value of the services rendered against equity-settled payments, reference is made to the fair
value of the instruments themselves, measured at the date of the allocation.
This fair value is recognised as cost in profit and loss item “190. Administrative expenses: a) staff costs” offsetting the Shareholders’ equity item
“150. Reserves” (item “160. Administrative expenses: a) staff costs” and “140 Reserves” in the Company financial statements), on an accrual basis
over the period in which the services are rendered.
The fair value of a cash-settled share-based payment, the services acquired and the liability incurred are measured at the fair value of the liability,
recognised in item “80. Other liabilities”. The fair value of the liability, as long as it remains unsettled, is remeasured at each balance sheet date and
all changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss item “190. Administrative expenses: a) staff costs” (item “160. Administrative expenses: a)
staff costs” in the Company financial statements).
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 165
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Other long-term employee benefits
Long-term employee benefits (e.g. long-service bonuses, paid on reaching a predefined number of years’ service) are recognised in item “80. Other
liabilities” on the basis of the measurement of the liability at the balance sheet date, also in this case determined by an external actuary using the
unit credit projection method (see previous paragraph 10 - Provisions for risks and charges). Actuarial gains (losses) on this type of benefit are
recognised immediately in the income statement.
Guarantees and credit derivatives in the same class
Guarantees and credit derivatives in the same class measured under IFRS9 (i.e. contracts under which the issuer make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified
terms of a debt instrument) are initially and subsequently (on remeasurement following impairment losses) recognised in item “100. Provisions for
risks and charges: a) commitments and guarantees given”.
On initial recognition guarantees given are recognised at fair value, which usually corresponds to the amount received when the guarantee is issued.
After the initial recognition, guarantees given are recognised at the higher of the initially recognised value, net of any amortised portion, and the
estimated amount required to meet the obligation.
The effects of valuation, relating to any impairment of the underlying, are recognised in the same balance-sheet item contra item “200. Net
provisions for risks and charges: a) commitments and financial guarantees given” in the income statement (item “170 Net provisions for risks and
charges: a) commitments and financial guarantees given” in the Company financial statements).
Offsetting financial assets and liabilities
The accounting offsetting of assets and liabilities items has been performed according to IAS32, assessing the fulfillment of the following
requirements:
• current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts;
• intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
In accordance with IFRS7, further information has been included in the table of Notes to the consolidated accounts, in Part B - Other information.
In these tables, in particular the following information have to be reported:
• balance-sheet values, before and after the accounting offsetting effects, relating to the assets and liabilities which meet the criteria for applying
those effects;
• values of the exposures which do not meet the above-mentioned criteria, but are included in Master Netting Agreements, or similar agreements,
which create the right to set-off only following specified circumstances (e.g. default events);
• amounts of related collaterals.
Amortised cost
The amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the initial
recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that
initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction (directly or through the use of an allowance account) for impairment or
uncollectability.
The effective interest method is a method of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the life of a financial asset or liability. The
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial
instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation includes all fees and basis points paid or received
between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.
Commissions forming an integral part of the effective interest rate include loan drawdown fees or underwriting fees relating to a financial asset not
designated at fair value, e.g., fees received as compensation for the assessment of the issuer’s or borrower’s financial situation, for valuation and
registration of security, and generally for the completion of the transaction.
Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents (including employees acting as selling agents), advisers, brokers and dealers, levies
by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include financing costs or internal
administrative or holding costs.

Recognition of income and expenses
Interest income and expenses
Interest income and expenses and similar income and expense items relate to monetary items, i.e. liquidity and debt financial instruments (i) held for
trading, (ii) designated at fair value (iii) mandatorily at fair value (iv) at fair value through other comprehensive income (v) at amortised cost and
financial liabilities at amortised cost.
Interest income and expense are recognised through profit or loss with respect to all instruments measured at amortised cost, using the effective
interest method.
Interest also includes the net credit or debit balance of differentials and margins on financial derivatives:
• hedging interest-bearing assets and liabilities;
• HfT but linked for business purposes to assets and liabilities designated as measured at fair value (fair value option);
• linked for business purposes to HfT assets and liabilities paying differentials or margins on different maturities.
Fees and commissions income and other operating income
Fees and commissions income and other operating income are accounted for in income statement as the entity satisfies the performance obligation
embedded in the contract, according to “IFRS15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers” rules.
In particular:
• if the performance obligation is satisfied at a specific moment (“point in time”), the related revenue is recognised in income statement when the
service is provided;
• if the performance obligation is satisfied over-time, the related revenue is recognised in income statement in order to reflect the progress of
satisfaction of such obligation.
Due to the above mentioned rules, transaction fees coming from trading in securities are typically booked in the moment when the service is
provided while fees related to portfolios management, consulting or fund management are normally recognised during the term of the contract (input
method).
For this second type of fees, in fact, it is deemed that the input which are necessary to provide the service incorporated in the performance
obligation are evenly distributed during the term of the contract.
If the timing of cash-in is not aligned to the way the performance obligation is satisfied, the Group accounts for a contract asset or a contract liability
for the portion of revenue accrued in the period or to defer in the following periods.
The amount of revenues linked to fees and commissions income and other operating income is measured based on contractual provisions.
If the amount contractually foreseen is subject, totally or partially, to variability, a revenue has to be booked based on the most probable amount that
the Group expects to receive.
Such amount is determined on the basis of all facts and circumstances considered relevant for the evaluation, that depend on the type of service
provided and, in particular, on the presumption that it is not highly probable that the revenue recognised will not be significantly reversed.
Note, nevertheless, that for the services provided by the Group such a variability is not usually foreseen.
Finally, if a contract regards different goods/services whose performance obligations are not satisfied at the same time, the revenue is allocated
among the different obligation proportionally to the stand-alone price of the single item delivered. These amounts will therefore be accounted for in
income statement on the basis of the timing of satisfaction of each obligation.
This circumstance, which is not significant, might happen in case of customer loyalty programs that require to provide goods or services for free, or
by cashing-in a price not at market condition, if the client reaches a specific volume of fees, or in case of programs to acquire new customers that
assign a bonus to the target (in the form of a product or a service) when it becomes a new client.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised as revenue in profit and loss in the financial year in which their distribution has been approved.

There were no transfers between portfolios of financial assets in 2020.

A.4 - Information on fair value
Qualitative information
This section presents a disclosure on fair value as required by IFRS13.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants in
the principal market at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price).
The fair value of a financial liability with a demand feature (e.g. a demand deposit) cannot be lower than the amount payable on demand, discounted
from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid.
For financial instruments listed in active markets, fair value is determined on the basis of official prices in the principal market to which the Group has
access (Mark to Market).
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from a pricing service; dealer,
broker, agency that determines prices or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an
arm’s length basis. If a published price quotation in an active market does not exist for a financial instrument in its entirety, but active markets exist
for its component parts, fair value can be determined on the basis of the relevant market prices for the component parts.
If the observable prices in active market or other observable inputs, such as the quoted price of a similar instrument in an active market, the Group
may use another valuation techniques, such as:
• a market approach (e.g. using quoted prices for similar liabilities or equity instruments held by other parties as assets);
• cost approach (e.g. it reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset, that is the current
replacement cost);
• an income approach (e.g. a present value technique that considers the future cash flows that a market participant would expect to receive from
holding the liability or equity instrument as an asset).
The Group uses valuation models (Mark to Model) in keeping with the methods generally accepted and used by the market. Valuation models
include techniques based on the discounting of future cash flows and on volatility estimates, and they are subject to revision both during their
development and periodically in order to ensure their consistency with the objectives of the valuation.
These methods use inputs based on prices set in recent transactions for the instrument being valued and/or prices/quotations for instruments having
similar characteristics in terms of risk profile. Indeed, these prices/quotations are relevant for determining significant parameters in terms of credit,
liquidity and price risk of the instrument being valued.
Reference to these market parameters allows to limit the discretionary nature of the valuation, and ensures that the resulting fair value can be
verified. If, for one or more risk factors it is not possible to refer to market data, the valuation models employed use estimates based on historical
data as inputs.
As a further guarantee of the objectivity of valuations derived from valuation models, the Group employs:
• independent price verifications (IPVs);
• fair value adjustments (FVAs).
Independent price verification requires that the prices are verified at least monthly by Risk Management units that are independent from the units
that assume the risk exposure.
This verification calls for comparing and adjusting the price in line with valuations obtained from independent market participants.
For instruments not quoted in active markets, the above verification process uses prices contributed by info providers as a reference, and assigns a
greater weighting to those prices that are considered representative of the instrument being valued.
This valuation can include the possible execution of the transaction at the price observed, the number of contributors, the degree of similarity of the
financial instruments, the consistency of prices from different sources, and the process followed by the info provider to obtain the information.
A.4.1 Fair value Levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used
Hereby we provide IFRS13 disclosure requirements about accounting portfolios measured at fair value on a recurring basis, not measured at fair
value, or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Fixed-income securities
Fixed-income securities are priced in a two tier process depending on the liquidity in the respective market. Liquid instruments in active markets are
marked to market and consequently positions in these instruments are disclosed with reference to Fair Value Hierarchy under Level 117. In order to
assess it, within the global bond Independent Price Verification (IPV) process a daily Liquidity Indicator is defined taking into account: the number of
executable bid/ask quotes, their relative sizes and spreads. Such indicator is tracked over 20 business days time window in order to obtain a stable
monthly indicator.
Instruments not traded in active markets are marked to model based on implied credit spread curves derived from the former Level 1 instruments.
The model maximises the use of observable input and minimises the use of unobservable inputs. With this respect, depending on the proximity of
the credit spread curve applied, the bonds are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3 respectively; Level 3 is applied in case credit spread curves used are
significantly unobservable. Under fair value accounting, fair value adjustments for liquidity and model deficiencies compensate for the lack of market
observables for the Level 2 and Level 3 positions.
In the global bond IPV process market prices of Level 1 bonds and pricing models for illiquid bonds are regularly verified for accuracy.
Structured financial products
The Group determines the fair value of structured financial products not quoted on active markets using the appropriate derivative valuation
methodology given the nature of the embedded structure (when this is not to be separated). Such instruments are classified as Level 2 or Level 3
depending on the observability of significant inputs to the model.
Asset Backed Securities
UniCredit group valuation process relies on internal policies centred on two pillars:
• extension and implementation across all the Group’s Legal Entities of an Independent Price Verification (IPV) process suited to the changed
market conditions for Structured credit bonds;
• integration of current Fair Value Adjustments Policy.
According to the IPV process the quality of a price is assessed based upon the availability of quotes of independent market players for identical
assets.
The process relies first on consensus data provider as reliable collector of market quotes.
As a second step, prices are assessed by benchmarking each security to a pool of similar securities with available market quotes. An alternative
approach consists in evaluating the instrument through the use of quantitative pricing models, which are applicable every time that information
regarding market participants assumptions on model parameters are reasonably made available without excessive costs or efforts.
Derivatives
Fair value of derivatives not traded in an active market is determined using a mark-to-model valuation technique.
Where active markets exist for its component parts, then fair value is determined on the basis of the relevant market prices for the component parts.
Valuation techniques that are based on significant inputs that are observable are referred to as Level 2 valuations, while those based on techniques
that use significant unobservable inputs are referred to as Level 3 valuations.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments are assigned to Level 1 when a quoted price is available on a liquid market and to Level 3 when no quotations are available or
quotations have been suspended indefinitely. These instruments are classified as Level 2 only when trading volume on the market where the
instrument is quoted has decreased significantly.
For equity instruments measured at cost an impairment is given, if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount significantly and/or over a
prolonged period of time.
Investment funds
The Group holds investments in certain investment funds that publish net asset value (NAV) per share, including mutual funds, private equity funds,
hedge funds (including funds of funds) and real estate funds. The Group’s investments include co-investments in funds that are managed by the

Real estate funds
Real estate funds are mapped to Level 1 when quoted prices are available on an active market; when this condition does not hold, real estate funds
are disclosed as Level 3 and they are evaluated through an adequate credit adjustment of the NAV based on the specific features of each fund.
Other funds
The Group holds investments also in mutual funds, hedge funds and private equity funds.
Funds are usually assigned to Level 1 when a quoted price is available on an active market.
Funds are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on NAV availability, portfolio transparency and possible issues relating to position write-off.
Property, plant and equipment measured at fair value
The Group owns property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes, which are valued according to the fair value model for Real Estate
investments linked to liabilities that generate a return on investments themselves.
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique. Given
the current portfolio composition, most of the positions are at Level 3.
Fair Value Adjustments (FVA)
Fair value adjustment is defined as the amount to be added either to the market observed mid-price or to the theoretical price generated by a
valuation model with the aim of obtaining a fair value of the position. Therefore FVA are aimed at insuring that the fair value reflects the actual exit
price of a certain position.
Below a list of adjustments:
• Credit/Debit Valuation Adjustment (CVA/DVA);
• model risk;
• close-out costs;
• other adjustments.
Credit/Debit Valuation Adjustment (CVA/DVA)
Credit valuation adjustments (CVAs) and debit valuation adjustments (DVAs) are incorporated into derivative valuations to reflect the impact on fair
value of counterparty credit risk and UniCredit group own credit quality respectively.
UniCredit group CVA/DVA methodology is based on the following inputs:
• EAD derived by simulation techniques. Simulated exposures also take into account Specific Wrong-Way Risk that arises from transactions where
there is a correlation between counterparty credit risk and the underlying derivative risk factors;
• PD implied by current market default rates, obtained from Credit Default Swaps;
• LGD based on the estimated level of expected recovery should a counterparty default and implied by current market default rates, obtained from
credit default swaps.
As at 31 December 2020, net CVA/DVA cumulative adjustment, relating to performing counterparts, amounts to €209.6 million negative the part
related to own credit spread evolution, which is filtered out from regulatory capital (accordingly to CRDIV), amounts to 170,9 million positive.
Funding Cost and Benefit Adjustment (FCA/FBA)
Funding Valuation Adjustment (FundVA) is the sum of a Funding Cost Adjustment (FCA) and of a Funding Benefit Adjustment (FBA) that indeed
accounts for the expected future funding costs/benefits for derivatives that are not fully collateralised. Most material contributors are in-the-money
trades with uncollateralised counterparties.
UniCredit group FVA methodology is based on the following inputs:
• positive and Negative exposure profiles derived leveraging on a risk-neutral spin-off of the Counterparty credit risk internal model;
• PD term structure implied by current market default rates obtained from credit default swaps;
• a funding spread curve that is representative of the average funding spread of peer financial groups.
As at 31 December 2019 the Fair Value Adjustment component (FundVA) reflect into P&L amounts to €266.4 million negative.

Part A - Accounting policies
Model risk
Financial models are used for the valuation of the financial instruments if the direct market quotes are not readily available. In general, the model risk
is represented by the possibility that a financial instrument’s evaluation is actually sensitive to the choice of model. It is possible to value the same
financial instrument by using alternative models which could provide different results in term of pricing. The model risk adjustment refers to the risk
that the actual fair value of the instrument differs from the value produced by the model.
Close-out costs
It measures the implicit costs of closing an (aggregated) trading position. The position could be closed by a long position (or purchase in the case of
a short position), or by entering a new transaction (or several transactions) that offsets (hedges) the open position. The close-out costs are typically
derived from the bid/ask spreads observed on the market. It accounts for the fact that a position is valued at mid but can only be closed at bid or ask.
This adjustment is not needed when the position is marked at bid or ask and already represents an exit price. In addition, a close-out adjustment of
the NAV is applied when there are some penalties relating to position write-off in an investment fund.
Other adjustments
Other fair value adjustments, which are not included in the previous categories, could be taken into consideration to align the evaluation to the
current exit price, also according to the level of liquidity of the market and valuation parameters, e.g. adjustment of equity prices whose quotation on
the market are not representative of the effective exit price.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Financial instrument not carried at fair value, for example retail loans and deposit, and credit facilities extended to corporate clients are not managed
on a fair value basis.
For these instruments fair value is calculated for disclosure purposes only and does not impact the balance sheet or the profit or loss. Additionally,
since these instruments generally do not trade, there is significant management judgment required to determine their fair values as defined by
IFRS13.
Cash and cash balances
Cash and cash balances are carried at amounts that approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.
Financial assets at amortised cost
For the assets that are composed by securities, fair value is determined according to what explained in section “Assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis - Fixed income securities”.
On the other hands, fair value for performing loans to banks and customers is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for credit
risk. Some portfolios are valued according to simplified approaches, which however consider the financial features of the financial instruments.
Property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes
The fair value of property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes is determined on the basis of a valuation by an independent appraiser
who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification which perform its valuation mainly on the basis of an indirect knowledge of the assets
through the information made available by the owner and relating to the localisation, consistency, destination and in consideration of market
analysis.
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Fair value for debt securities in issue is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit group credit risk. The Credit Spread
is determined using UCG’s subordinated and non-subordinated risk curves.
On the other hands, Fair value for other financial liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit group credit
risk.
The Credit Spread is determined using UCG’s senior and subordinated risk curves.
Description of the valuation techniques
Specific valuation techniques are used to value positions for which a market price is not directly observable from market sources. The Group uses
well known valuation techniques for determining fair values of financial and non-financial instruments that are not actively traded and quoted. The
valuation techniques used for Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities are described below.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 171
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Option Pricing Model
Option model valuation techniques are generally used for instruments in which the holder has a contingent right or obligation based on the
occurrence of a future event, such as the price of a referenced asset going above or below a predetermined strike price. Option models estimate the
likelihood of the specified event occurring by incorporating assumptions such as volatility estimates, price of the underlying instrument and expected
rate of return.
Discounted cash flow
Discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of
an instrument. The model requires the estimation of the cash flow and the adoption of market’s parameters for the discounting: discount rate or
discount margin reflects the credit and/or funding spreads required by the market for instruments with similar risk and liquidity profiles to produce a
“discounted value”. The fair value of the contract is given by the sum of the present values of future cash flows.
Hazard Rate Model
The valuation of CDS instruments requires the knowledge of the entity’s survival probability at future dates. The estimate of this probability curve
uses the standard model for survival probabilities and requires as parameters the credit default swap market quotes on standard future dates in
addition to the risk-free curve and the expected recovery rate. The hazard rate is part of the described process and it indicates the instantaneous
probability of default at different future instants.
Market Approach
A valuation technique that uses prices generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, liabilities or a group of
assets and liabilities.
Gordon Growth Model
This is the model used to determine the intrinsic value of an equity investment, based on a series of future dividends which grow at a constant rate.
Given a dividend to be paid in a specific year and the hypothesis that the dividend grows at a constant rate, the model computes the present value
of future dividends.
Dividend Discount Model
This model is used to determine the value of an equity investment, based on the series of predicted future dividends. Given a dividend to be paid in
a specific year and the hypothesis that the dividend grows at a constant rate, the model computes the fair value of an equity share as the sum of the
present value of all future dividends.
Adjusted NAV
Net asset value is the total value of a fund’s assets less liabilities. An increase in net asset value would result in an increase in a fair value measure.
Usually for funds classified as Level 3, NAV represents a risk-free valuation, therefore in this case the NAV is adjusted so as to consider the issuer’s
default risk.
Description of the inputs used to measure the fair value of items categorised in Level 2 and 3
Hereby a description of the main significant inputs used to measure the fair value of items categorised in Level 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Volatility
Volatility is a measure for variation of price of a financial instrument over time. In particular, volatility measures the speed and severity of market
price changes for an instrument, parameter or market index given the particular instrument, parameter or index changes in value over time,
expressed as a percentage of relative change in price. The higher the volatility of the underlying, the riskier the instrument. In general, long option
positions benefit from increases in volatility, whereas short option positions will suffer losses.
There are different types of volatility:
• volatility of interest rate;
• inflation volatility;
• volatility of foreign exchange;
• volatility of equity stocks, equity or other indexes/prices.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Correlation
Correlation is a measure of the relationship between the movements of two variables. When parameters are positively correlated, an increase in
correlation results in a higher fair value measure. On the contrary, given a short correlation position, an increase in correlation, in isolation, would
generally result in a decrease in a fair value measure. Therefore changes in correlation levels can have a major impact, favourable or unfavourable,
on the fair value of an instrument, depending on the type of correlation.
Correlation is a pricing input for a derivative product where the payoff is driven by multiple underlying risks. The level of correlation used in the
valuation of derivatives with multiple underlying risks depends on a number of factors including the nature of those risks.
Dividends
The derivation of a forward price for an individual stock or index is important both for measuring fair value for forward or swap contracts and for
measuring fair value using option pricing models. The relationship between the current stock price and the forward price is based on a combination
of expected future dividend levels and payment timings and, to a lesser extent, the relevant funding rates applicable to the stock in question.
The dividend yield and timing represents the most significant parameters in determining fair value for instruments that are sensitive to an equity
forward price.
Interest rate curve
The calculation of the interest rate curve is based on standard bootstrapping techniques relying on the set of quotes of appropriate financial
instruments, for each currency, which turns interest rates in zero-coupon.
Less liquid currencies interest curve refers to the rates in currencies for which a market liquidity doesn’t exist in terms of tightness, depth and
resiliency. The illiquidity of these input data impacts directly the valuation of securities or derivatives expressed in illiquid currencies.
Inflation swap rate
The determination of forward levels for inflation indexes is based on swap quote over inflation indexes. Swap over inflation may present a low
liquidity level whether there is no liquid market in terms of rigidity, deepness and resistance. The illiquidity of those inputs has an indirect impact on
the valuation of a debt instrument linked to inflation (inflation-linked note) or in case of a derivative over inflation.
Credit spreads
Different valuation models, especially for credit derivatives require an input for the credit spread which reflects the credit quality of the associated
credit name.
The credit spread of a particular security is quoted in relation to the yield on a benchmark security or reference rate (typically either U.S. Treasury or
LIBOR/EURIBOR) and is generally expressed in terms of basis points.
The ranges for credit spreads cover a variety of underlings (index and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and
investment-grade). The broad range of this population gives rise to the width of the ranges of unobservable inputs.
Loss Given Default (LGD)/Recovery Rate
LGD also known as loss severity (the inverse concept is the recovery rate) represents the percentage of contractual cash flows lost in the event of a
default, expressed as the net amount of loss relating to the outstanding balance. An increase in the loss severity, in isolation, would result in a
decrease in a fair value measure. Loss given default is facility-specific because such losses are generally understood to be influenced by key
transaction characteristics such as the presence of collateral and the degree of subordination.
Price
Where market prices are not observable, comparison via proxy is used to measure a fair value.
Prepayment Rate (PR)
The PR is the estimated rate at which forecasted prepayments of principal of the related debt instrument are expected to occur. Voluntary
unscheduled payments (prepayments) change the future cash flows for the investor and thereby change the fair value of the security.
In general as prepayment speeds change, the weighted average life of the security changes, which impacts the valuation either positively or
negatively, depending upon the nature of the security and the direction of the change in the weighted average life.
Probability of Default (PD)
The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of not collecting contractual amounts. It provides an estimate of the likelihood that a client of
a financial institution will be unable to meet its debt obligations over a particular time horizon. The PD of an obligor not only depends on the risk
characteristics of that particular obligor but also the economic environment and the degree to which it affects the obligor.
Early conversion
The early conversion is the estimate of the probability that the liability would be converted into equity earlier than the terms stated.

A.4.2 Valuations processes and sensitivities
The Group verifies that the value attributed to each position reflects the current fair value in an appropriate way. Assets and liabilities subject to fair
value measurements are determined using different techniques, among which (but not only) models such as discounted cash flow and internal
models. On the basis of the observability of the input used, all the measurements are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy.
When a financial instrument, measured at fair value, is valued through the use of one or more significant inputs not directly observable on the
market, a further procedure for the price verification is implemented. These procedures include the revision of relevant historical data, the analysis of
profits and losses, the individual valuation of each component for structural products and benchmarking. This approach uses subjective opinions and
judgments based on experience and, therefore, it could require valuation adjustments which take into account the bid/ask spread, liquidity and
counterparty risk, in addition to the valuation model type adopted.
According to Group Market Risk Governance guidelines, in order to ensure the right separateness of the functions in charge of the model
development and those in charge of the validation processes, all valuation models developed by Group companies’ front offices are independently
tested centrally and validated by the Group Internal Validation functions. The aim of this independent control structure is evaluating the model risk
from a theoretical solidity, calibration techniques eventually applied and appropriateness of the model for a specific product in a defined market point
of views.
In addition to the daily mark-to-market or mark-to-model valuation, the Independent Price Verification (IPV) is applied by from Market Risk function
with the aim of guaranteeing a fair value provided by an independent structure for all instruments, illiquid included.
Fair value sensitivity to variations in unobservable input used in the fair value computation for instruments categorised as
Level 3
The sensitivities to change in the unobservable parameter for the different financial instrument categories of level 3 valued at fair value are
presented in the table below as change of corresponding relevant parameters:
• for derivatives on equities and commodities: 1% of volatility, 10% of dividend, 1% of correlation and 10% of volatility skew;
• for foreign exchanges: 1% of underlying volatility;
• for interest rate derivatives: 1 basis point of rates curves and volatilities;
• for credit derivatives: 1 basis point of credit spread or, if Level 3 attribution for a derivative is due to counterparty classification as not performing,
the CVA impact of a 5% shift of the recovery rate;
• for debt securities: 1 basis point of credit spread;
• for equities: 1% of the underlying;
• for Units in Investment Funds quotes: 5 basis points shift in PD and LGD, if evaluated leveraging on models considering counterparty credit risk as
main risk factor, otherwise 1% of fair value.

Amongst the financial instruments subject of valuation methods and sensitivity analysis, there are also included ABS issued by securitisation
vehicles as per Italian law 130/99 where the Bank is both originator and underwriter of some issues and quotes of open investment funds acquired
through credit disposal.
A.4.3 Fair value hierarchy
IFRS13 establishes a fair value hierarchy according to the observability of the input used in the valuation techniques adopted for valuations.
The fair value hierarchy level associated to assets and liabilities is set as the minimum level among all significant valuation inputs used.
A valuation input is not considered significant for the fair value of an instrument if the remaining inputs are able to explain the major part of the fair
value variance itself over a period of three months.
In some specific cases, the significance limit is assessed in relation to the fair value of the instrument at the measurement date.
In particular, three levels are considered:
• Level 1: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the quoted prices on active markets;
• Level 2: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models which use observable inputs on active
markets;
• Level 3: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models which prevalently use significant
unobservable input on active markets.
Financial instruments are classified to a certain fair value level according to the observability of the input used for the valuation.
Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets): quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets are available for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which orderly transactions for the asset or liability take place with
sufficient frequency and volume for pricing information to be provided on an on-going basis (e.g. MTS market about prices for most of the
government bonds therein traded).
Level 2 (observable inputs): inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. Inputs are observable if they are developed on the basis of publicly available information about actual events or transactions and reflect
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Level 3 (unobservable inputs): inputs other than the ones included in Level 1 and Level 2, not directly observable on the market for the evaluation
of asset and liability, or used for the definition of significant adjustments to fair value. Unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
When fair value is measured directly taking into consideration an observable price and quoted on an active market, the hierarchy attribution process
will assign Level 1. When fair value must be measured either via Comparable approach or via Mark-to-Model approach, the hierarchy attribution
process will assign Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the observability of all the significant input parameters.
Within the choice among various valuation techniques the Group employs the one which maximises the use of observable inputs.
Transfers between hierarchy levels
The main drivers to transfers in and out the fair value levels (both between L1 and L2 and in/out L3) include changes in market conditions (among
which liquidity parameter) and enhancements to valuation techniques and weights for unobservable inputs used for the valuation itself.
Quantitative and qualitative details about transfers between fair value levels occurred in the period is presented in the paragraph “A.4.5 Fair value
hierarchy” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - General, A.4 - Information on fair
value, Quantitative information.
A.4.4 Other information
The Group uses the IFRS13 exception for fair value measurements on a net basis with reference to financial assets and liabilities with offsetting
positions of market risk or counterparty credit risk.

The item “1. c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value” at Level 3 as at 31 December 2020 includes the investments in Atlante and Italian
Recovery Fund, former Atlante II (carrying value €350 million) and in “Schema Volontario” (carrying value €7 million).
Since no market valuations or prices of comparable securities are available for “Schema Volontario”, at 31 December 2020 the fair value of such
instrument was determined using internal models (Discounted Cash Flow and Market Multiples) also having as reference the valuation of the
financial assets of the “Schema Volontario” (supported by the advisor in charge) contained in the Rendiconto 2019 of the “Schema Volontario” itself,
while concerning Atlante and Italian Recovery Fund, former Atlante II, the Fair Value was determined having as reference the valuation of the
financial assets provided from the fund itself adjusted to consider the valuation risks underlying the estimate provided by the fund and mainly due to
the liquidity premium and the availability of the information related to the performance of the fund’s underlying assets.
See paragraph “2.5 Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value: breakdown by product” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit
group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets, Section 2 - Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss - Item 20.
Transfers between level of fair value occurring during the year mainly reflect the evolution of reference market and the enhancement of processes
for fair value level attribution in some Group entities.
Besides the transfers related to financial assets and liabilities carried at Level 3 detailed in the sections below during the year the following transfers
occurred:
• from Level 1 to Level 2 owing to a worsening of the liquidity and price reliability indicators (based on the bid-ask spread, relative size and
applicability of the published prices) collected by third parties as calculated and recorded in the context of the Global Bond IPV process:
- of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial assets held for trading, designed at fair value and mandatorily at fair
value) for approximately €706 million;
- of financial assets measured at fair value through reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for approximately
€393 million.
• from Level 2 to Level 1 owing to an improvement of the liquidity and price reliability indicators (based on the bid-ask spread, relative size and
applicability of the published prices) collected by third parties as calculated and recorded in the context of the Global Bond IPV process:
- of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial assets held for trading, designed at fair value and mandatorily at fair
value) for approximately €1,185 million;
- of financial assets measured at fair value through reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for approximately
€1,139 million;
- of financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial liabilities held for trading and designed at fair value) for approximately
€5 million.

the profit and loss in the following items:
• Item 80: Net gains (losses) on trading;
• Item 90: Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting;

fair value changes on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and tangible assets used in business, with reference to land
and buildings, according to the rules explained below.
With reference to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income these profits and losses are accounted in item “120. Valuation
reserves” of shareholder’s equity until the financial assets is not sold, instant in which cumulative gains and losses are reported: i) if referred to debt
securities in income statement under item “100. Gains (Losses) on disposal and repurchase of: b) financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income” and ii) if referred to equity instruments in the shareholder’s equity under item “150. Reserves”; the exception regards the
case of impairment and gains and losses on exchange rates on monetary assets (debt securities) which are reported respectively under item “130.
Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment relating to: b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” and item “80. Net gains
(losses) on trading”.
With reference to tangible assets used in business, the profits arising from the valuation are recognised in item “120. Valuation reserves” of
shareholder’s equity for the portion exceeding the cumulated losses recognised in item “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets measured at fair value”. Losses arising from the valuation are recognised in item “120. Valuation reserves” up to the
cumulated profits recognised in the same item. Further losses are recognised in item “260. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets measured at fair value”. On disposal the cumulated profits reported in item “120. Valuation reserves” are recycled to item “150.
Reserves”.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The changes occurred between 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 in the ratio between fair value and book value for financial assets at
amortised cost reflect the enhancement of the methodology and the parameters adopted for the fair value calculation for disclosure and the
evolution in the benchmark interest rate, in the risk premium and in the probability of default depending on or deriving from markets trend.
These events together with the evolution of the approach to identify the significance of non-observable inputs have been reflected in fair value
hierarchy level distribution.
The book value of items “3. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale” (Assets) includes amounts referred to assets
measured on balance sheet on the basis of their cost for €233 million. For further details on this sub-item see the table “12.1 Non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale: breakdown by asset type” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the
consolidated accounts Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets, Section 12 - Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale
and Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale - Item 120 (Assets) and Item 70 (Liabilities).
A.5 - Information on “day one profit/loss"
The value at which financial instruments are recognised is equal to their fair value on the same date.
The fair value of financial instruments, different from those designated at fair value through profit or loss, at their recognition date is usually assumed
to be equal to the amount collected or paid.
For financial instruments held for trading (see Sections 1.a) and 12 of Part A.2 above) and instruments designated at fair value (see Sections 1.b)
and 13 of Part A.2 above), any difference from the amount collected or paid is posted under the appropriate items of the income statement.
The use of conservative valuation models, the processes described above for revising the models used and related parameters and value
adjustments to reflect model risk ensure that the amount recognised in the income statement is not derived from the use of valuation parameters
that cannot be observed.
More specifically, the calculation of fair value adjustments to reflect model risk ensures that the fair value portion of these instruments relating to the
use of subjective parameters is not recognised in the profit and loss account, but changes the balance sheet value of these instruments.
The presence of further “day one profit” leads to the recognition of a distinct asset component that is the object of linear competition.
Recognition of these portions in the profit and loss account is then made only when objective parameters are applied and therefore the adjustments
are derecognised.
The overall fair value adjustments to reflect these adjustments (amount not recognised in the Income statement) amounts to +€54 million at 31
December 2020 (+€52 million in 2019).

The increase in the item “Demand deposits with Central Bank” is mainly to UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Bank AG.
Such increase is due to investment of liquidity in overnight deposits with Banca d’Italia and Bundesbank, in addition to the part that is maintained in
the Compulsory Reserves, as a result of the management of a net surplus of funds recognised both (i) in the context of commercial activity with
customers and (ii) as part of the interbank business.

It should be noted that, starting from 2020, debt securities toward government and other public sector entities have been presented as Financial
assets designated at fair value so to reduce the accounting mismatch associated with their relation with other financial instruments measured with
changes in fair value recognised in the income statement in order to manage the risk profile.
Valuations at fair value were classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflecting the observability of the valuations input.

The column “of which: purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets” includes impaired loans purchased as part of transactions other than
business combinations.
The sub-items “1.2. Reverse repos" and “1.7 Other loans” do not include security lending transactions collateralised by securities or not
collateralised. These transactions were classified under "off-balance sheet" exposures of table A.1.5 of Part E - Section 2 - Risks of the prudential
consolidated perimeter - Quantitative information - A. Credit Quality. See also the section "Other Information" of Part B.
The sub-item “1.7 Other loans” includes:
• €4,698 million for trade receivables;
• €25,986 million for other non-current account loans;
• €23,741 million for pooled transactions;
• €19,451 million advances to customers for import/export;
• €18,982 million for loans with amortised plan.
Loans to customers are not carried at fair value, which is presented solely for the purpose of fulfilling financial disclosure requirements. Fair value
measurements are classified according to a three levels hierarchy that reflects the observability of the inputs used in the measurements. For further
information see Part A - Accounting Policies - A.4 Information on fair value of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
The fair value of demand items was estimated to be equal to their net book value by exercising the option provided for by IFRS7.29. According to
this assumption, demand items were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of impaired loans was estimated by considering that the realizable value expressed by the net book value is the best estimate of the
future expected cash flows discounted at the valuation date, further adjusted to incorporate, when available, a premium derived from significant
market’s transaction for similar instruments. According to this assumption, impaired loans were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
It should be noted that the decreases in Lease loans impaired (Stage 3) is mainly attributable to the disposal transactions (Relais Transaction)
performed during the period. For additional information refer to Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies - Section 1 - Credit risk, under the
table “A.1.2 Breakdown of financial assets by portfolio and credit quality (gross and net values).
The item “2.2 Other debt securities" include securities related to securitisation transactions shown in the following table.

Notes:
* Company classified in the Financial Statements as "non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale" according to IFRS 5 and therefore valued at minor between fair value net of cost to sell and booking
value. The latter is determined by interrupting the valuation at Equity starting from the date of IFRS 5 classification.

See Section 3 of Part A - Accounting Policies for a description of the consolidation procedures and scope.
Joint ventures or companies under significant influence, consolidated at equity or classified as non-current assets and assets disposal groups,
decreased from 47 as at 31 December 2019 to 31 as at 31 December 2020 due to 1 increase and 17 decreases as disposals, changes of the
consolidation method and mergers.
We remind that after the application of IFRS11, starting from 1 January 2014, the option to consolidate joint controlled entities proportionally has
been eliminated, imposing the net equity method for those companies that fall in the scope of the above mentioned IFRS11.

During the period there was one change of the consolidation method regarding the company Capital Dev S.p.A., following the loss of control related
to the sale of 80% of the shareholding, occurred during fourth quarter, as part of the implementation of agreements with a counterparty not
belonging to the Group. This sale entailed the deconsolidation of the subsidiary and the classification of the remaining 20% of the shareholding as
entity subject to joint control, included among non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale. The agreement with the investors
envisages also the disposal of the remaining shares upon homologation, in accordance with art. 182 bis of bankruptcy law, of some terms included
in the signed contract.

Yapi Kredi transaction
In November 2019, UniCredit S.p.A. and Koç Group entered into a set of agreements related to:
• certain shares transfers (as better described below), and
• the termination of the existing shareholders agreement related to Koç Finansal Hizmetler A.S. (“KFS”), the Turkish joint venture vehicle through
which Koç Group and UniCredit have run a commercial banking operation in Turkey since 2002 and which at the date owned a controlling stake in
Yapı ve Kredi Bankası A.Ş. (“YKB” or “the Company”), listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
In particular, the agreements envisaged:
• the acquisition by Koç Group of UniCredit’s entire 50% shareholding in KFS, thereby becoming the sole shareholder of KFS,
• the sale by KFS of 31.93% and 9.02% stakes in YKB to UniCredit and Koç Holding A.Ş. (“Koç Holding”) respectively,
• the simultaneous termination of the shareholders agreement related to KFS.
As a consequence of the above described transaction, UniCredit owned a direct 31.93% stake in YKB, thus reducing its participation by 9.02% (from
an indirect 40.95% stake in KFS, to a direct 31.93% stake in YKB), also unwinding the Joint Control on KFS.
As a result of the above, in the consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019, the 9.02% stake in YKB was reclassified in item “Non
current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale” and measured at its fair value less costs to sell being this value below its carrying
amount.
The remaining 31.93% stake was accounted for through equity method, and subject to impairment test by assuming a recoverable amount equal to
the Fair value resulting from YKB market quotation, in light of the stated non-strategic nature of the investment and the expectation about its gradual
disposal.
194 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets
The transactions were closed on 5 February 2020. As a result, the 9.02% stake in YKB was derecognised18 accordingly, generating a loss for -€667
million mostly due to the recycling through income statement of the valuation reserves (mainly Foreign Exchange revaluation reserve).
As of the same date, UniCredit S.p.A. announced the launch of a placement of ordinary shares in YKB, representing 11.93% of the company’s
existing share capital. The accelerated book building (ABB) was successfully completed on 6 February 2020, by the offering of 11.93% of the
Company’s issued share capital to institutional investors, with settlement date 13 February 2020.
At the same time as the completion of the sale, the stake of 11.93% was derecognised, together with the pro-quota portion of the valuation reserves,
determining the recognition in income statement of a loss for -€906 million, mostly related to the recycling in income statement of the revaluation
reserves (mainly Foreign Exchange revaluation reserve).
As at 31 December 2020, the 20% stake, remaining after the transactions described above, is classified as an investment in “associate”, indeed,
UniCredit assessed to have significant influence as a result of the voting rights held and the representation in the Board of Directors of the company
(2 out of 10 Directors were appointed by UniCredit).
Therefore, as at 31 December 2020, the remaining 20% stake continued to be accounted for using the equity method, in continuity with the previous
year when it was classified among the "jointly controlled" companies.
The stake was also subject to impairment testing on the basis of the fair value calculated considering the market quotation as at 31 December 2020,
determining the recognition of a total amount of +€8 million as revaluation through income statement.
Under a regulatory standpoint, following the ECB’s decision to allow the application of the equity method to the 20% YKB remaining stake, the stake
was coherently accounted for using the equity method, thus aligning the accounting and regulatory treatment as of 31 December 2020.
Consequently, as of the same date, the consolidated RWAs calculation does not include the YKB’s proportional contribution anymore, while the
stake is subject to the deduction mechanism applicable to the significant investments in financial sector entities.

Notes:
(*) It should be noted that all investments in listed associates show a fair value at Level 1 (L1).
(**) Dividends received by the investor company.
(***) In the present table and in the following relating to significant shareholdings the values of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi AS are referred to 31 December 2020 financial statements approved; for the other companies the values
are referred to the last financial statement in line with IAS28 requirements.
(1) It should be noted that on the basis of the International Accounting Standards, equity investments in associates listed on regulated markets with a fair value (quotation) lower than consolidated book value are impairment
tested by calculating recoverable value, stated as the greater of fair value net of costs to sell and value in use, and an impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable value is lower than the book value.
As at 31 December 2020 for Bank Fuer Tirol un Vorarlberg Aktiengesellschaft and for Bks Bank AG the recoverable value was lower than the book value therefore a write-down was recognised. The stake of 20% in Yapi Ve
Kredi Bankasi AS has a fair value (quotation) pro rata equal to €571 million; please note that a write-back was recognised in 2020. For more details see Part C – Information on Consolidated income statement - Section 17 –
Gain (Losses) of equity investments - Item 250 of Notes to the consolidated accounts.
For Oberbank AG no write-downs or wrirte-back were recognised during the year.
(2) Note that on the basis of the International accounting standards, equity investments in associates for which there is clear evidence of occurrence of events that may reduce their value, are impairment tested by
calculating recoverable value, stated as the greater of fair value net of costs to sell and value in use, and an impairment loss is recognised when the said recoverable value is lower than the book value. Note that none
additional write-downs were recognised for these companies.
Financial information of the investee companies used for the purposes of measurement with the net equity method is presented below. These
figures include any adjustments made in line with paragraph B14 of IFRS12 requirements.
18 Despite UniCredit S.p.A. changed its asset from 50% direct stake in KFS to 31.93% direct stake in YKB, the application of IAS28 led to proportionally derecognise the 9.02% of YKB net assets, as well as of the related
revaluation reserves; indeed, UniCredit consolidated financial statements represents (before and after the transaction) the pro-rata share of the net equity of YKB, net of write-downs.

Notes:
For Compagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A. included in Companies subject to significant influence the book value in the Consolidated financial statements reflects the results of the valuation at individual level made by UniCredit
S.p.A.
Note that on the basis of the International Accounting Standards, equity investments in associates for which there is objective evidence of occurrence of events that may reduce their value, are impairment tested by
calculating recoverable value, understood as the greater of fair value net of costs to sell and value in use, and an impairment loss is recognised when the said recoverable value is lower than the book value.

7.6 Valuation and significant assumptions to establish the existence of joint control or significant influence
The Group has classified among associates the entities governed through voting rights with reference to which it can participate in defining the
operating or financial policies through possession of at least 20% of the voting rights or the possibility of appointing members of the governing body.
In particular, as shown in Table “7.1 Equity investments: information on shareholding relationships”, it should be noted that the investee CAMFIN
S.p.A. is classified among associates, although the Group does not have more than 20% of the voting rights, in virtue of the possibility of appointing
members of the governing body.
The Group has classified its investees among jointly-controlled equity investments in the presence of agreements that state that decisions on
significant activities are taken with the unanimous consent of all parties that share control.
These agreements, in particular, attribute to the Group rights related only to the net assets and not rights to the assets and obligations on the
liabilities of the investee.
As at 31 December 2020 the following were carried at cost:
• 11 equity investments (all held either directly or through consolidated subsidiaries) in associates;
• 10 equity investments (of which 2 held either directly or through consolidated subsidiaries) in jointly-controlled companies.
Based on available information, it should be considered that their consolidation at equity would not have impacted significantly the Group
Shareholders’ equity.

7.7 Commitments related to equity investments in jointly-controlled companies
There are no commitments related to jointly-controlled companies.
7.8 Commitments related to equity investments in companies subject to significant influence
There are no commitments related to companies subject to significant influence.
7.9 Significant restrictions
As at 31 December 2020, we note, with reference to Value Transformation Services S.p.A., the existence of a shareholders' agreement which limits
the Group's possibility to participate in the profits, in the form of dividend distribution, and in the losses to a maximum amount of €300,000.
Even though not directly concluded by UniCredit S.p.A. or one of its subsidiaries, we disclose the existence of contractual agreements between
Compagnia Area Italiana (CAI) and its subsidiary Alitalia SAI, company that is into special administration, that limit the ability of the latter to distribute
dividends to the achievement of certain parameters in terms of liquidity and income margins.
Finally the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from associates is subordinated to the majority, also qualified, or unanimous decision of
the relevant corporate body as provided by the law or by specific shareholder agreements.
7.10 Other information
With reference to significant equity investments in associates and jointly-controlled companies, the net equity method was applied starting from the
2020 draft financial statements approved by the competent corporate bodies or from the reports approved in the three previous months.
With reference to non-significant equity investments in associates and jointly-controlled companies, in limited cases financial statements or reports
with a date prior to 3 months from 31 December 2020 were used, if no more up-to-date reports were available.
However, if financial statements or reports with a date other than 31 December 2020 were used, no subsequent transactions or events emerged
such as to require an adjustment of the results contained therein.
It should be noted that for the associated company Compagnia Aerea Italiana S.p.A., the book value in the consolidated financial statements reflects
the valuation of the investments, carried out by UniCredit S.p.A. at individual level.
Finally it should be noted that as at 31 December 2020 UniCredit group has in place several alliance agreements, as well as several shareholders’
agreements stipulated with other parties under the scope of co-investment agreements (e.g. agreements for the establishment of joint ventures),
with special reference to the insurance sector. Under the scope of these agreements, as per market practice, there are investment protective
clauses which, depending on the case, allow the parties to negotiate their respective positions on the underlying investment in the case of their
“exit”, through mechanisms that require purchase and/or sale. These provisions are usually applied after a certain period of time and/or when
specific events occur, also connected to the underlying distribution agreements.
As at 31 December 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. does not have definitive obligations to purchase the equity investments pertaining to one or more
contractual counterparties.

Valuation of the Group real estate portfolio
Starting from 31 December 2019, the Group changed its accounting policy for the measurement of real estate properties moving from a cost model
to a fair value model for properties held for investment and revaluation model for properties used in business.
This change, approved on 2 December 2019 by the UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Directors, was deemed to result in reliable and more relevant
information for financial statements’ users taking into account:
• the expected disposal by 2025 of real estate assets held for investment (IAS40), as fair value model presents a higher capability to approximate
the expected disposal price, accounting for the related effects timely in advance;
• the possibility to better represent the equity of the Group, with regard to real estate assets used in business (IAS16), as revaluation model
represents the net equity updated in light of current market conditions.
As at 31 December 2020 fair value of both properties held for investment and properties used in business was re-determined through external
appraisals.
198 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets
With reference to the Group, the update of appraisals has led to an overall positive balance sheet effect of €115 million gross of tax, as detailed
below:
• for real estate assets used in business the recognition of an increase in the specific valuation reserve for an amount of €105 million gross of tax
effect. In addition to this increase, net gains for €6 million were recognised in the income statement gross of the tax effect;
• for real estate assets held for investment the recognition of an income statement results equal to €4 million gross of the tax effect.
With reference to UniCredit S.p.A. the update of appraisals has led to an overall positive balance sheet effect of €21 million gross of tax, as detailed
below:
• for real estate assets used in business the recognition of an increase in the specific valuation reserve for an amount of €30 million gross of tax
effect. In addition to this increase, net gains for €0.3 million were recognised in the income statement gross of the tax effect;
• for real estate assets held for investment the recognition of an income statement results equal to -€9.3 million gross of the tax effect.
It is worth to note that the valuation of properties at current values implies a possible risk of volatility as well as an increase of the so-called real
estate risk (for the description of which refer to Part E of the Notes to the consolidated accounts - Other risk included in the Economic Capital).
By reference to the real estate units held as at 31 December 2020 and their corresponding market value overall equal to €5,961 million, has been
estimated a sensitivity to the increase/decrease in real estate values of +/-1% equal to approximately €60 million corresponding to approximately +/-
2 basis point of CET1 ratio.
Note the the measurement of inventories of property, plant and equipment to the lower between cost and net realizable value has determined the
recognition of a write-down for €20 million.
Earthquake in Croatia
The subsidiary Zagrebacka banka d.d. had involved in the earthquakes occurred in Croatia in March 2020 and in December 2020.
In particular, with reference to the earthquake occurred in December 2020, it did not significantly impact the evaluation performed as corroborated
by external independent appraiser who performed fair valuations for 2020 year-end of real estates used in business located in the affected area. As
well, the five branches located in the Zagreb area did not report structural damages.
Top disposal
During the first half 2020, the Group has sold a real estate complex in Munich composed by both real estate assets held for investment and real
estate assets used in business for a sale price equal to €1,012 million.
These assets were classified under IFRS5 during 2019 already before 31 December 2019 which is the date of the initial application of the change in
the valuation criterion. This circumstance has determined for assets used in business, for which according to IAS8 the change to revaluation model
is applied prospectively, in this specific case from 31 December 2019, the recognition of a gain on disposal for €443 million (gross of tax) in the first
half 2020 when these properties have been derecognised, as at the date of first application, being classified in IFRS5, they were not subject to the
change in valuation criterion.
Conversely, for assets held for investments, for which according to IAS8 the change to fair value model is applied retrospectively, the adjustment to
the sale price has already been recognised in the last quarter of 2019.

Section 10 - Intangible assets - Item 100
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance, to be used for several years.
Intangible assets include goodwill and, among “other intangible assets”, mainly brands, customer relationships and software.
Goodwill is the excess of the cost of a business combination over the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of companies or businesses at the
acquisition date.
As at 31 December 2020 intangible assets amounted to €2,117 million, decreased in comparison to €2,800 million as at 31 December 2019.The
decrease mainly relates to the fully write down on goodwill for -€886 million.

The net book value of goodwill as at 31 December 2020, equal to zero, decreased by €886 million due to the fully write-down of the goodwill
allocated to the CGU Commercial Banking Italy for €8 million and Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) for €878 million.
In addition to the write-down of the period, the annual changes in gross closing balance and total net write-down, compared to the values as at 31
December 2019, are due to goodwill of legal entities which reporting currency is different to Euro, completely impaired in the previous periods.
For further details of impairment test on goodwill and other intangible assets, recognised during business combinations, refer to the following

The other intangible assets have finite useful lives, originally valued by discounting the financial flows over the residual lifetime of the relationships in
place on the date of the business combination from which they derive. Finite-life intangible assets are subject to amortisation based on the
associated useful life.
The types of intangible assets noted as a result of business combinations as at 31 December 2020 after the fully write off of the Goodwill are equal
to zero. For the details see the following pages.
The Group does not hold intangible assets acquired through public grants or intangible assets pledged against liabilities.
Impairment test of intangible assets noted during business combinations
In accordance with IAS36, impairment testing of all indefinite-useful-life intangible assets, including goodwill must be performed at least annually
and, in any case, whenever there is objective evidence of the occurrence of events that may have reduced their value (trigger events). For UniCredit
the trigger event is a market capitalisation lower than Shareholders’ Equity.
Recoverable value is the greater of the value in use (present value of future cash flows generated by the asset being valued) and the associated fair
value, less costs to sell.
The recoverable value of intangible assets subject to impairment testing must be determined for the individual assets, unless both the following
conditions exist:
• the value in use of the asset is not estimated to be close to the fair value, net of sales costs;
• the asset does not generate incoming cash flows largely independent of those coming from other assets.
If these conditions recur, the impairment test is conducted at the level of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU), as required by the cited accounting
principle.
It should be noted that the impairment test performed by the UniCredit group by way of the determination of the value in use of the Cash Generating
Units (CGU), as described below, includes as at 31 December 2020 only goodwill.
It should be noted that intangible assets and Cash Generating Units are subjected to impairment test with reference to their current state, without
taking account of the effects of restructuring plans/programmes not yet approved by the competent bodies.
For the purposes of the impairment testing the value in use of the so-called Cash Generating Units (CGUs) to which these intangible assets are
allocated must be calculated taking into account the cash flows for all assets and liabilities included in the CGUs and not only those for which
goodwill and/or the intangible asset were recorded when applying IFRS3.
Finally, impairment test performed by the UniCredit group is made by the comparison of the carrying value and the recoverable amount of each
single CGU on which was allocated the value contributed by the Corporate Centre.

Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets
Definition of Cash Generating Units (CGU)
Estimating the value in use for the purposes of any impairment testing of intangible assets, including goodwill, which does not generate cash flows
except in conjunction with other business assets, requires that these assets are first attributed to operating units that are relatively autonomous in
the business context (from the points of view of independent cash flows generated and of internal planning and reporting). These operating units are
defined as Cash Generating Units (CGU).
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS3 and IAS36, for the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the following
operational Divisions of the Group, identified as CGUs.
The CGU is the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored at Group level. The CGUs identified correspond to the organisational business units
through which the Group develops its activity.
For a detailed description of the Group’s CGU refer to Part L - Segment Reporting of this Notes to the consolidated accounts.
The book value of the CGUs
The book value of the CGUs is determined in accordance with the criterion used to determine their recoverable value. The recoverable value of the
CGUs includes flows from their respective assets and liabilities, so the book value must also include the assets and liabilities generating those flows.
Since it would be excessively complex to determine the carrying amount of the CGUs on the basis of book values, it was necessary to use
operational factors to break them down correctly. Specifically, the operational driver that is used is allocated capital, which is based on the Risk-
Weighted Assets absorption of the single CGU. In any case, intangible assets are attributed to the CGUs in accordance with the available
accounting information.
The carrying amounts of the CGUs as at 31 December 2020 subject to impairment test and defined as indicated above.

Estimating cash flows to determine the value in use of the CGUs
In accordance with the prescriptions of IAS36, the impairment test for indefinite-life intangible assets must be performed at least annually and
whenever there is any indication that their value may be impaired. The referenced accounting principle requires the impairment test to be carried out
by comparing the book value of each CGU with its recoverable value. Should the recoverable value of a CGU prove to be lower than its book value,
a write-down must be recorded in the financial statement. The recoverable amount of the CGU is the greater of its fair value (net of costs of
disposal) and the related value in use.
During 2020, as a result of the analyses related to the impairment of goodwill run on a quarterly basis, a goodwill impairment took place both at 30
June 2020 and 31 December 2020. In particular, as detailed below, a full impairment was carried out (i) at 30 June 2020 of the goodwill allocated to
the Commercial Banking Italy CGU for the amount of €8 million and (ii) at 31 December 2020 of the goodwill allocated to the CIB CGU for the
amount of €878 million.
In particular, as of 31 December 2020, the impairment of the Commercial Banking Italy CGU was not reassessed in line with the prescriptions of
IFRIC 10, which does not envisage the possibility of recognising reversals of impairment in the quarters subsequent to when an impairment of the
goodwill is recognised.

Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets
The impairment test carried out as of 30 June 2020
In accordance with IAS36.99, the results of the goodwill impairment test carried out as of 31 December 2019 were employed also for the test as of
30 June 2020 for the Group and the CGUs to which goodwill was allocated.
The impairment test as of 31 December 2019 was carried out on the basis of the financial projections (Net Profit and RWA) included in the “Team
23” Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Directors in its meeting of 2 December 2019. In the context of the test as of 30 June 2020 it was
observed that, in light of revised estimates on the cost of risk, the Team 23 financial objectives referred to the years 2020 and 2021 could no longer
be considered valid. In particular it was observed that Net Profit actual results were below Plan targets, both at Group level and for most CGUs,
RWAs were below Plan targets at Group level and for most CGUs and the cost of equity as of June 2020 was below the values registered at
December 2019.
In light of these results and of the indications part of the ESMA Public Statement of 20 May 202019 the Group has put in place a process for the
analysis of the recoverability of the goodwill by updating the valuation model, including the cost of capital, as of 30 June 2020 considering, for the
CGUs with allocated goodwill, an alternative scenario which incorporated in the financial projections for Net Profit and RWA for 2020 and 2021 the
economic effects related to Covid-19.
The valuation process described has led to the full impairment of the €8 million goodwill allocated to the CGU Commercial Banking Italy.
The impairment test carried out as of 31 December 2020
Projections
The set of projections employed for the impairment test as of 31 December 2020 was broadened to take into account the indications part of the
Communication from the European Securities and Market Authority (“ESMA” on 28 October 2020) which requires issuers, as part of reporting
activities and to take into account the significant volatility and uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic, to consider alternative scenarios for the
valuation of items whose sustainability depends on future forecasts. To this purpose two scenarios were prepared:
• “base” scenario based on the financial forecasts (Net Profit and RWA) underlying the update of the 2021 Budget, approved by the Board of
Directors (BoD) in the 13 January 2021 meeting, and the projections for 2022 and 2023 presented to the BoD on the same date;
• “downturn” scenario less favourable than the “base” scenario, reflecting lowered 2021-2023 macroeconomic forecasts to take into account the
higher risks part of the currently uncertain context.
For a description of the assumptions underlying the “base” and “downturn” scenarios refer to Part A - Accounting policies, Section 2 - General
preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
Impairment test model
The calculation of the value in use for impairment testing purposes was carried out using a Discounted Cash Flow model (DCF). The free cash flows
to equity were determined by subtracting from Net Profit (gross of minority interests) the annual capital requirement generated by changes in risk-
weighted assets (RWA). The capital requirement is defined as the level of capitalisation that the Group aims to achieve in the long term, also in light
of the minimum regulatory capital requirements currently in place.
The Discounted Cash Flow model employed is based on three stages with an explicit forecast period, an intermediate period and a “terminal value”.
Due to the employment of the two scenarios described above the model was set-up in different ways in the various stages.

PERIOD
"BASE" SCENARIO
“DOWNTURN” SCENARIO
Explicit forecast (2021 - 2023)
2021 Budget and 2022-2023 projections.
Financial forecast derived from the macroeconomic scenario
underlying the “downturn” scenario.
Cash-flow projections extrapolated by applying, from the
explicit forecast period (2023), growth rates converging to
that of the “terminal value”.
The application of an intermediate period aims to allow a
normalisation in the nominal growth rate of Net Profit and
RWA before their convergence to terminal value, since the
Group operates in different geographical areas and
business segments and these are characterised by different
risk profiles and growth prospects.
For the CGUs in Western Europe the growth rates for the
intermediate period are defined considering a conservative
cap.
Derived through a nominal growth rate of 2% for all CGUs.
The average growth rate of real GDP in the Eurozone from
1999 to 2019 was 1.4%. The nominal rate of 2%,
corresponding to approximately 0% in real terms, was
chosen for cautionary reasons.
Cash-flow projections derived by looking at the 2023
difference between the “base” and “downturn” scenarios and
progressively reducing this difference through a linear
convergence so that the Net Profit and RWA of the two
scenarios coincide in 2028.
Derived by applying a nominal growth rate of 2% and
coinciding, by construction, with the “terminal value” found in
the “base” scenario.
Intermediate (2024 - 2028)
"Terminal value"
Group assets allocated to shared supporting activities (corporate assets) are allocated to the CGUs to which they refer, where applicable. For the
portion of these assets which cannot be allocated, the recoverable amount is assessed at overall Group level (so-called “Corporate Centre”).

Note:
(1) The discount rates presented for CEE CGUs are the weighted average of the discount rates in local currency used for the individual countries.
Future financial flows were discounted using an estimate of the discount rate incorporating in the cost of equity the various risk factors linked to each
business sector. The discount rate is a nominal rate, net of taxes.
The cost of equity for the CGUs is assessed with a through the cycle approach (i.e., six years average) as the sum of the following:
• Risk Free Rate: equal to the yield of the benchmark government bond of the reference country (local currency approach, maturity: 10 years);
• Equity Risk Premium: calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model according to which the Equity Risk Premium can be derived as the product
of the following items:
- UniCredit Beta (β): measures the sensitivity of UniCredit shares to variations in the reference market;
- Market Risk Premium: estimated by Professor Damodaran as the difference between the return of US stock and bond markets since 1928
(geometric mean).
It is worth mentioning that the β used for the CIB division has been increased (based on peers’ analysis) to reflect the higher intrinsic risk of
investment banking vis à vis standard commercial banking activity.
The discount rates used in the two scenarios are the same.
A further parameter used to determine the initial allocated capital and its evolution over time is the target requirement of the Common Equity Tier 1
(CET1). For all CGUs, a CET1 target requirement coherent with the Group CET1 target requirement was used, corresponding to a buffer of 200-250
bps over the Minimum Distributable Amount (MDA).

Results of the impairment test
For the purpose of the impairment test as of 31 December 2020 goodwill is entirely allocated to the CIB CGU for €878 million.
The results of the two scenarios were weighted differently to reflect their different probability of taking place. In particular, the results from the “base”
scenario, considered the most probable scenario, were weighted at 60% while the “downturn” scenario was weighted at 40%. The application of the
model as described above showed a goodwill impairment for an amount of €629 million; in terms of sensitivities, it was found that a change of 5% in
the weighting of the scenarios would have determined an impact of around €30 million.
Given the above, further sensitivity analyses on the impairment test model, carried out also in light of the aforementioned ESMA recommendation,
have shown that even relatively minor changes to the main parameters would lead to significant impacts on the result of the test. In this perspective,
recalling the contents of the section “Impairment of Assets” of the ESMA recommendation20 of 28 October 2020 referred to above, the test was
found to be particularly sensitive to changes to the discount rate of the CIB CGU, for which a change of around 0.1% would lead to a full impairment
of the goodwill21. In view of these evidences and of the high level of uncertainty in the macroeconomic context, the Group’s goodwill, allocated
entirely to the CIB CGU, was fully written down by €878 million.
Comparison with market capitalisation
The Group's total value in use resulting from the impairment test is higher than the current market capitalisation of the Parent Company.
The difference can be largely explained by: i) the upside potential embedded in the Analysts' consensus; ii) the cost of equity used in the impairment
test and iii) market expectations on long term return and its distribution.

Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) totally amount to €11,361 million (compared with €12,129 million as at 31 December 2019), of which €7,491 million
(compared with €8,302 million as at 31 December 2019) can be, under certain circumstances, converted into tax credits pursuant to Law
No.214/2011 (i.e., DTA convertible into tax credits). The remaining Deferred Tax Assets (i.e., DTAs non-convertible into tax credits) are related to
costs and write-offs deductible in future years, for €2,749 million (net of related deferred tax liabilities), and to tax losses carried forward (TLCF) for
€1,120 million (of which €982 million DTAs on TLCF and €138 million tax credit IRAP deriving from the conversion of the ACE benefit). DTAs on
TLCF are mainly related to UniCredit S.p.A., also as Italian Tax Group Parent Company, for €677 million, to UniCredit Bank Austria AG for €210
million, and to UniCredit Bank AG for €64 million.
The above mentioned amounts are the ones resulting from the sustainability test provided for IAS12, that takes into account the economic
projections foreseeable for future years and the peculiarities of the fiscal legislations of each country, in order to check whether there are future
taxable incomes against which TLCF can be offset.
At Group level total not recognised DTAs TLCF are equal to €4,368 million mainly referred to UniCredit S.p.A. for €3,392 million, to UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. for €277 million and to Sub-groups UniCredit Bank AG for €401 million and UniCredit Bank Austria AG for €287 million.
For deferred tax assets and liabilities of UniCredit S.p.A., also as Italian Tax Group Parent Company, refer to paragraph of Part B - Notes to the

Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale - Item 120 (Assets) and Item
70 (Liabilities)
Non-current assets or directly connected groups of assets and liabilities, which constitute a set of cash flow generating assets, the sale of which is
highly likely, are recognised under these items. They are measured at the lower value between the book value and the fair value less costs to sell
according to IFRS5.
In the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, compared with 31 December 2019, the subsidiaries Cards & Systems EDV-Dienstleistungs GmbH
and General Logistic Solutions LLC, the 9.02% of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.S., the joint venture KOC Finansal Hizmetler AS and the real estate
complex in Munich (“Top disposal”) owned by UniCredit Bank AG, composed by both real estate assets held for investment and used in business,
have been sold. Furthermore, the following has been attributed to the non-current assets and asset disposal groups pursuant to IFRS5: the
companies of Wealthcap group, the joint venture Capital Dev S.p.A. and the associated company Risanamento S.p.A. and the non-performing loans
related to sale initiatives of portfolios. During the year the assets and liabilities of Card Complete group companies were reclassified outside Held for
Sale to the proper item.
The disposal of 9.02% of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.S. generated in the first quarter 2020 a loss of -€667 million.
The sale of the real estate complex in Munich (“Top disposal”), executed in first quarter 2020, generated a gain of +€443 million (gross of tax).
As regards the data for asset relating to discontinued operations, and associated liabilities, the figure as at 31 December 2020 refers to the
companies of the Immobilien Holding group. In the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, compared with 31 December 2019, the associated

Item “Accrued income and prepaid expenses other than capitalised income” includes the contract assets recognised in accordance with IFRS15.
In this context accrued income represents the portion of the performance obligation already satisfied through the services provided by the Group and
that will be settled in the future periods in accordance with contractual provisions.
The aggregate amount of revenues from services to customers related to the portion of performance obligations not yet satisfied, and therefore not
represented in the table above, is equal to €5.4 million. The majority of this amount relates to performance obligations expected to be satisfied by
the following year end reporting date.
It should be noted that during the period there have not been significant changes in the accrued income and prepaid expenses not included in the
carrying amount of the relevant financial assets.

In this context, deferred income represents the portion of performance obligations not yet satisfied through the services provided by the Group but
already settled during the period or in previous periods.
The majority of this amount relates to performance obligations expected to be satisfied by the following year end reporting date.
Refer to the paragraph “Section 13 - Other assets - Item 130” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated
accounts Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets for information about the changes in deferred income and accrued expenses occurred in the
period.
Section 9 - Provision for employee severance pay - Item 90
The “TFR” provision for Italy-based employee benefits is to be construed as a “post-retirement defined benefit”. It is therefore recognised on the
basis of an actuarial estimate of the amount of benefit accrued by employees discounted to present value. This benefit is calculated by an external
actuary using the “projected unit credit” method (see the paragraph “Part A.2 - Main items of the accounts” of the Consolidated financial statements
of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting policies).

2019 to -€163 million as at 31 December 2020.
A change of -25 basis points of Discount Rate would result in an increase of the liability of €13 million (+2.27%); a correspondent increase would
result in a reduction in the liability of €13 million (-2.22%). A change of -25 basis points of Price Inflation rate would result in a reduction of the liability
of €8 million (-1.37%); a correspondent increase would result in an increase of the liability of €8 million (+1.39%).

1. Pensions and other post-retirement benefit obligations
There are several defined-benefit plans within the Group, i.e. plans whose benefit is linked to salary and employee length of service both in Italy and
abroad. The Austrian, German and Italian plans account for over 90% of the Group’s pension obligations.
The 47% of the total obligations for defined benefit plans are financed with segregated assets. These plans are established in (i) Germany, among
others "Direct Pension Plan" (i.e. an external fund managed by independent trustees), the "HVB Trust Pensionfonds AG" and the "Pensionkasse der
Hypovereinsbank WaG", all created by UniCredit Bank AG (UCB AG), and (ii) in the United Kingdom, Italy and Luxembourg created by UCB AG and
UniCredit S.p.A.
The Group’s defined-benefit plans are mainly closed to new recruits where most new recruits join defined-contribution plans instead and the related
contributions are charged to the income statement.
According to IAS19, obligations arising from defined-benefit plans are determined using the “projected unit credit” method, while segregated assets
are measured at fair value. The balance sheet obligation is the result of the deficit/surplus (i.e., the difference between obligations and assets) net of
any impacts of the asset ceiling; actuarial gains and losses are recognised in shareholders’ equity and shown in a specific item of revaluation
reserves in the financial year in which they are recorded.
The actuarial assumptions used to determine obligations vary from country to country and from plan to plan; the discount rate is determined,
depending on the currency of denomination of the commitments and the maturity of the liability, by reference to market yields at the balance sheet
date on a basket of “high quality corporate bonds”.
In light of evolving common interpretation about “high quality corporate bonds” identification and persisting interest rates decreasing trend, UCG
refined its Discount Rate setting methodology by referencing AA rated corporate bonds basket. In addition, a Nelson Siegel methodology has been
applied in modelling the yield-curve expressed by the basket of securities (adjusted above the last liquid point - defined as the average maturity of
the last 5 available bonds - relying on the slope of a Treasury curve build with AA Govies).
The remeasurement of commitments as at 31 December 2020 leads to an increase in the negative balance of the valuation reserve relating to
actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit plans of €423 million, net of deferred taxes (for a negative balance which move from -€3,420 million as at
31 December 2019 to -€3,843 million as at 31 December 2020).

Turkish Lira;
• variation of the item “Exchange differences” for -€917 million due to change of Russian Ruble for -€681 million, Hungarian Forint for -€99 million
and Czech Crown for -€81 million;

The net balance in the sub-item Leaving Incentives both for 2020 and for 2019 is mainly determined by the effects envisaged by the Strategic Plan
Team 23.
It shall be noted that the Strategic Plan Team 23, announced to the market on 3 December 2019, foresees the reduction of about 8.000 Full Time
Equivalents (FTEs) at Group level in the plan horizon. As at 31 December 2019, the conditions required by IAS37 for the recognition of restructuring
costs were met for Germany and Austria, thus requiring the recognition of the associated expenses in 2019 Consolidated financial statements. In
Italy, at that date, the restructuring plan was not announced to the affected parties neither its implementation was started. Therefore, no valid
expectation about the fulfilment of a constructive obligation was raised.
During the first quarter 2020, the “Lettera di avvio procedura” (Letter for starting the procedure) was sent to Trade Unions in Italy, specifically on 10
February 2020, thus officially starting negotiations. Subsequently, several dedicated meetings were held in February and March; as final and
decisive action, a specific communication to the Trade Unions announcing the main features of the restructuring plan was issued on 31 March 2020.
On these basis, the associated staff expenses were recognised as conditions required by IAS37 were met. Starting from this date the accession
process to the plan by the identified employees was started.
In addition during the fourth quarter 2020 an additional restructuring plan, involving about 700 Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) has been approved and
communicated to its employees by Zagrebacka Banka thus determining, also in this case, the fulfilment of the conditions required by IAS37 for the
recognition of the associated staff expenses.
It should be noted that these expenses are initially recognised as provisions for risks and charges and are then reclassified to other liabilities when a
specific debt toward the employees arises.

Part C - Consolidated income statement
Contributions to Resolution and Guarantee funds
Item “Other administrative expenses” includes the Group contributions to resolution funds (“SRF”) and guarantee funds (“DGS”), harmonised and
non-harmonised, respectively equal to €454 million (of which €212 million from UniCredit S.p.A.) and €265 million (of which €134 million from
UniCredit S.p.A.).
With reference to the harmonised funds, the ordinary annual contributions due pursuant to the Directives No.49 and No.59 of 2014 are accounted for
in full when the legal condition of the obligation to make payment occurs and the application of IFRIC21 does not allow the pro-rata attribution to the
interim periods.
In relation to the contribution obligations described below, such schemes have led to expenses during the period and they will lead to expenses in
future periods both for ordinary contribution scheme and potential extraordinary contributions.
• With the introduction of the European Directive 2014/59/EU, the Regulation on the Single Resolution Mechanism (“BRRD Directive” Regulation
(EU) No.806/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 15 July 2014) established a framework for the recovery and resolution of
crises in credit institutions, by setting up a single resolution committee and a single resolution fund for banks (Single Resolution Fund, “SRF”). The
Directive provides for the launch of a compulsory contribution mechanism that entails the collection of the target level of resources by 31
December 2023, equal at least to 1% of the amount of the covered deposits of all the authorised institutions in the States of the European Union.
The accumulation period may be extended for further four years if the funding mechanisms have made cumulative disbursements for a percentage
higher than 0.5% of the covered deposits. If the available financial resources fall below the target level after the accumulation period, the collection
of contributions shall resume until that level has been recovered. Additionally, after having reached the target level for the first time and, in the
event that the available financial resources fall to less than two thirds of the target level, these contributions are set at that level which allows to
reach the target level within a period of six years. The contribution mechanism provides for ordinary annual contributions, with the aim of
distributing the costs evenly over time for the contributing banks, and extraordinary additional contributions, of up to three times the expected
annual contributions, when the available financial resources are not sufficient to cover losses and costs of interventions. A transitional phase of
contributions to the national compartments of the SRF and a progressive mutualisation of these are expected.
• The Directive 2014/49/EU of 16 April 2014, in relation to the DGS - Deposit Guarantee Schemes, aims to enhance the protection of depositors
through the harmonisation of the related national legislation. The Directive provides for the launch of a mandatory national contribution mechanism
that will allow a target level of at least 0.8% of the amount of its members' covered deposits to be collected by 2024. The contribution resumes
when the financing capacity is below the target level, at least until the target level is reached. If the available financial resources have been
reduced to below two thirds of the target level after it has been reached for the first time, the regular contribution shall be set at that level which
allows to reach the target level within six years. The national contribution mechanism provides for ordinary annual contribution instalments, with
the aim of distributing the costs evenly over time for the contributing banks, and also extraordinary contributions, if the available financial resources
are insufficient to repay depositors; the extraordinary contributions cannot exceed 0.5% of covered deposits per calendar year, but in exceptional
cases and with the consent of the competent authority, the DGS may demand even higher contributions.
The Directives No.49 and No.59 specify the possibility of introducing irrevocable payment commitments as an alternative to collection of fund
contributions lost through cash, up to a maximum of 30% of the total resources target.
With reference to Directive No.59 (SRF contributions), Group contributions posted into income statement and paid in 2020 sum up to €454 million, of
which: i) ordinary contribution for to €403 million (of which €161 million payed by UniCredit S.p.A.), ii) extraordinary contributions for €51 million
(entirely referred to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Specifically referring to UniCredit S.p.A.:
• further to contribution for 2020 equal to €161 million, ordinary contribution for years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 have been respectively €73
million, €107 million, €109 million, €140 million and €135 million.
• referring to extraordinary contributions:
- referring to 2015, Banca d’Italia (National Resolution Authority) realised a resolution programme of four banks (Banca delle Marche, Banca
Popolare dell'Etruria e del Lazio, Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara, Cassa di Risparmio della Provincia di Chieti); resolution has been pursued by
the separation of the non-performing assets (which flowed into a “bad bank”) from the rest of the assets and liabilities that flowed into four new
“bridge banks”, then sold to BPER Banca S.p.A. (Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara) and UBI Banca S.p.A. (the other tree banks). As a result of this
intervention, the ministerial measures led to a request for extraordinary contributions, established at the maximum rate of three times the ordinary
yearly contribution (€219 million vs €73 million ordinary contribution), whose amount has been paid by UniCredit S.p.A. and recognised in the
income statement in the same year.
- referring to 2016, Italian Legislative Decree 183/2015 (converted into Law 208/2015) also introduced an additional payment commitment, due to
the National Resolution Fund (“NRF”), for the payment of contributions of up to twice the ordinary contribution quotas to the SRF (€214 million for
UniCredit S.p.A. versus €107 million of ordinary contribution), entirely requested in December 2016; due to this payment, UniCredit S.p.A.
recognised in the income statement €214 million. The liquidity needed to fund this intervention was provided through pool loans in favour of FRN
in which UniCredit participated, in particular: (i) 2,350 million and €1,550 million fully repaid (to which UniCredit S.p.A. participated respectively
for €783 million and €516 million); (ii) €1,240 million actually outstanding and maturing in 2021 (to which UniCredit S.p.A. participate for €210
million). For facing the reimbursement commitments of capital and interests’ payment, in 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively €52 million, €50
million and €51 million were required to UniCredit S.p.A. as extraordinary contributions.

Part C - Consolidated income statement
The instrument of the irrevocable payment commitments has been used: (i) by UniCredit S.p.A. in respect of 15% of ordinary contributions referred
to 2016 (€107 million), resulting in the payment of guarantees in the form of cash amounting to €16 million, voluntary converted into effective
contribution in the first half 2019; (ii) by UniCredit Bank AG referring to ordinary contribution for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, for an amount of
respectively €12 million, €14 million, €16 million, €18 million and €22 million. The cash collateral has been recognised in the balance sheet as an
asset and its contractual characteristics have been taken into account in its measurement.
With reference to Directive No.49 (DGS contribution), Group contributions posted into income statement and paid in 2020 sum up to €265 million, of
which: (i) ordinary contribution for €222 million (of which €90 million payed by UniCredit S.p.A.), (ii) extraordinary contributions for €44 million
(entirely referred to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Referring to ordinary contribution for 2020, UniCredit Bank AG has adopted irrevocable payment commitments for €13 million for which the collateral
has been recognised in the balance sheet as an asset and its contractual characteristics have been taken into account in its measurement.
Here follows a table with the recap of the above-mentioned contributions.

Part C - Consolidated income statement
Section 21 - Tax expenses (income) for the period from continuing operations - Item 300
Each Country has an autonomous tax system where the determination of the tax base, the level of tax rates, nature, type and timing of tax
obligations might differ, even significantly. Such differences also exist amongst EU Member States.
In respect of the main Countries where UniCredit group operates, Italy, Germany, Austria, all have domestic income tax consolidation regimes.
While the United Kingdom does not have a domestic income tax consolidation regime, tax losses can nonetheless be transferred between entities of
the same Group.
Tax consolidation rules also differ from Country to Country, sometimes markedly. Generally speaking, the main and common benefit of a domestic
tax consolidation regime is the offsetting of profits and losses of companies and entities belonging to the same tax consolidation perimeter. The
requirements to be included in a domestic tax consolidation regime can be very different from those set for the purpose of accounting consolidation
for a banking group according to the international IAS/IFRS or local accounting standards.
As for tax rates, and with reference to the Group’s key Countries, the nominal corporate income tax rate is 31.4% in Germany (also taking into
account the “solidarity surcharge” and the municipal trade tax), 25% in Austria, 10% in Bulgaria, 18% in Croatia, 19% in Slovenia, 16% in Romania,
19% in the Czech Republic, 21% in Slovak Republic, 20% in Russia, 9% in Hungary, 15% in Serbia, 10% in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition,
the corporate income tax rate is 27% in the United Kingdom (also considering the 8% surcharge provided for Banks), 12.5% in Ireland, 24.94% in
Luxembourg, 21% of federal tax in the United States and 25% in China.
In Italy the standard corporate income tax rate is equal to 24%, which is increased by a 3.5% surcharge applicable to banks and other financial
entities only. Therefore, for UniCredit S.p.A. and for the other Group banks and financial entities, the applicable tax rate is equal to 27.5%.
Further to the corporate income tax (IRES), the Italian Regional Tax on Productive Activities (IRAP) levied at a rate of 4.65% for the banking sector
must be considered (each Region is entitled to autonomously increase the rate by a surcharge of 0.92% up to a maximum nominal rate of 5.57%,
plus an additional surcharge of 0.15% provided for Regions that have a healthcare deficit status); IRAP has a slightly different taxable base from the
one provided for in respect of IRES, obviously it has different rules, among which no tax loss carried forward.
For Tax expenses (income) for the period of the Parent Company refer to paragraph “Section 19 - Tax expenses (income) for the period from
continuing operations - Item 270” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part C which is herewith quoted

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Introduction
UniCredit group monitors and manages its risks through tight methodologies and procedures proving to be effective through all phases of the
economic cycle.
The steering, coordination and control role of the Group’s risks is performed by the Parent Company’s Group Risk Management function.
The Group Lending Office, established on 2 February 2018, is responsible for the credit activities, following Group Risk Management strategies,
policies and guidelines.
The structure’s “Group Risk Management” mission, under the responsibility of the Group Chief Risk Officer (Group CRO) and coordinated
functionally by the Head of Finance & Controls, is to:
• optimise the quality of the Group's assets, minimising the risk cost in accordance with the risk/profitability goals set for the business areas;
• ensure the strategic steering and definition of the Group's risk management policies;
• define and supply the Heads of the Business Functions and Entities with the criteria for assessing, managing, measuring, monitoring and
communicating risk. It also ensures that the procedures and systems designed to control risk at Group and individual Entity level are coherent;
• help build a risk culture across the Group by training and developing highly qualified staff, in conjunction with the competent COOs functions;
• help to find ways to rectify asset imbalances, where needed in conjunction with Group CFO;
• help the Business Functions achieve their goals, including by assisting in the development of products and businesses (e.g. innovation of credit
products, competitive opportunities linked to Basel accords, etc.);
• support the CEO in defining the Group Risk Appetite proposal, to be shared in the Group Risk & Internal Control Committee and submitted for
approval to the Board of Directors, as preliminary and preparatory step for the yearly and multi-yearly budget plan pertaining to the Group CFO.
The Group Risk Appetite will include a series of parameters defined by the CRO, with the contribution of Group CFO and other relevant functions;
each parameter can be complemented by limits and triggers proposed by the CRO22 and targets proposed by the Group CFO and/or by the
relevant Group functions, each respecting their mission and internal regulations. The Group CRO is responsible for ensuring the overall coherence
of the proposed parameters and values. Furthermore, Group CRO is responsible for ensuring the CEO and the Board of Directors the coherence
of the Group Risk Appetite with the Group strategic guidelines, as well as the coherence of the budget goals with the Group Risk Appetite setting
and the periodical monitoring of the RAF. Group CFO remains responsible for monitoring the performances of the Group and of the business
functions, in order to identify possible underperforming areas and the related corrective measures.
Such mission is accomplished by coordinating the Group's risk management as a whole. More specifically, it involves carrying out the following
macro-functions23:
• governing and checking the Group’s risks (credit, cross-border, market, balance sheet, liquidity, operational and reputational) as well as any other
risks relating to Basel II Pillar II (e.g. strategic, real estate, financial investment, business risks), by defining risk strategies and limits, developing
risk measurement methodologies24,performing stress tests and portfolio analysis;
• supervising, on a Group level and for UniCredit S.p.A., Basel accords related activities;
• coordinating the internal capital measurement process within the “Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process” (“ICAAP”) and coordinating
activities for drawing up the “ICAAP Regulatory Report”;
• assigning ratings for banks and for the Group's major exposures, carrying out the relevant mapping, at Group level, and managing the "rating
override" process with regard to Group-wide rating systems as well as those for measuring the credit risk of UniCredit S.p.A.’s counterparts;
• defining the minimum standards and guidelines for validating IT infrastructures and data quality, credit risks, operating risks and Pillar II risks, for
feeding Group and Parent Company reports on credit risk and for feeding credit risk measurement models;
• performing internal validation activities, at Group level25, on systems for measuring, credit, operating and market risks, or Pillar II risks26 on related
processes and data quality and IT components, as well as on models for pricing financial instruments, in order to check that they conform to
regulatory requirements and in-house standards, overseeing consequently the non-compliance risk regarding to such regulatory requirements;
• coordinating and managing restructuring and workout files related to the non performing “Non Core” portfolio;
• ensuring that the competent Bodies/Functions get adequate reports;
22 Possible triggers and limits on profitability parameters must be agreed between CRO and Group CFO.
23 Where applicable, the below listed responsibilities are inclusive of the Foreign Branches of UniCredit S.p.A., as detailed in the Organizational Book - Application.
24 Directly or by issuing guidelines to Group Entities to be developed depending on type of methodology (direct supervision of Group-wide methodologies and risk measurement methodologies for the counterparties of
UniCredit S.p.A., through guidelines on methodologies developed locally.
25 Directly validating with direct supervision on group-wide methodologies for which UniCredit S.p.A. is competent, indirect on local methodologies.

• developing the strategy and oversee the management, process, targets and disposals of Non-Performing Exposures/NPE, repossessed assets
and any other distressed assets for the entire Group27. The Group CRO define jointly with CLO the criteria/rules for identifying the exposures and
assets for sale and portfolio targets;
• drafting and managing risk policies, both at Group level (Group Rules) and at Parent Company level, on the performance of risk-related activities
for which UniCredit S.p.A. is competent as well as ensuring the monitoring;
• performing second-level checks on the risks of the treasury and credit treasury portfolios within the Group and the Parent Company;
• analysing and controlling, at Italian perimeter level, credit, operating and reputational risks generated by the activities of Italy Network and of the
CIB Italy;
• carrying out the functional coordination of Legal Entities in its area of competence.
The Group CRO supervises, together with Group CFO, the Group Data Office activities.
In order to strengthen the capacity of independent steering, coordination and control of Group risks, to improve the efficiency and the flexibility on
the risk decision process and to address the interaction among the relevant risk stakeholders, specific Committees are in place:
• Risks and Controls Committees:
- Group Risk & Internal Control Committee (“GR&ICC”), responsible for the Group strategic risk decisions: establishing policies, guidelines,
operational limits and the methodologies for the measurement, management and control of risks. It also supports the Group CEO in the
management and oversight of the Internal Control System ("ICS");
- Group Credit Committee (“GCC”), responsible for credit proposals, according to the delegated powers, and status classification.
• Group Portfolio Risks Committees:
- Group Market Risk Committee (“GMRC”), responsible for monitoring market risks at Group level;
- Group Operational & Reputational Risks Committee (“GORRIC”), responsible for the evaluation and monitoring of operational risk (including ICT
and Cyber) and related reputational risks;
- Italian Operational & Reputational Risks Committee (“IORRIC”), responsible for monitoring and evaluating operational and reputational risks
within UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter and its Italian legal entities28;
- Group Assets & Liabilities Committee (“GALCO”), is involved in the process of defining strategies, policies, methodologies and limits (where
applicable) for liquidity risk, FX and banking book interest rate risks, transfer pricing, Funding Plan and Contingency Funding Plan and in
monitoring activities;
- Group Model Risk Management & Governance Committee (“GMRM&GC”), responsible for ensuring steering, coordination and control of Model
Risk Governance (focusing on Pillar I, Pillar II and managerial models in scope of the Model Risk Management/ MRM framework29), as well as

- Group Transactional Credit Committee (“GTCC”);
- Italian Transactional Credit Committee (“ITCC”);
- Italian Non Core Portfolio Credit Committee (“INPCC”);
- Group Reputational Risk Committee (“GRRC”);
- Debt Capital Markets Commitment Committee (“DCMCC”);
- Group Rating Committee (“GRaC”).
The Board of Directors, pursuant to the provisions of the Self-Regulatory Code and under Banca d’Italia supervisory provisions, is supported by the
Internal Controls & Risks Committee, established among Board members, in order to foster an efficient information and advisory system that
enables it to better assess risk related topics for which it is responsible. Further information on Corporate Governance, including the Internal
Controls & Risks Committee and the number of meetings held, is included in the document “Corporate Governance Report”, published on the Group
internet site in the section: Governance » Our Governance System (https://www.unicreditgroup.eu/en/governance/our-governance-system.html).

Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) and Risk Appetite
UniCredit group assesses its capital adequacy on a going concern approach, ensuring that an adequate level of capital is maintained to continue
business activities as usual even in case of severe loss events, like those caused by an economic downturn.
The Group’s approach to ICAAP consists of the following phases:
1. Risk identification and mapping;
2. Risk measurement and stress testing;
3. Risk appetite setting and capital allocation;
4. Monitoring and reporting.
1. Risk identification and mapping
The first step is the identification and mapping of all the risks embedded in the Group and in the relevant legal entities, with particular focus on the
risks not explicitly covered by the Pillar I framework. The output of this activity is the Group Risk Map which includes all the risk types quantifiable by
Internal Capital.
2. Risk measurement and stress testing
The second phase is the identification of the internal methodologies for measurement and quantification of the different risk profiles, resulting into
the calculation of Group Internal Capital. The Internal Capital measures are supported by aggregated-stress tests, which are a fundamental part of a
sound risk management process. The aim of stress testing is to assess the bank's viability with respect to exceptional but plausible events. The
impact of adverse economic scenarios is assessed on the capital position (solvency stress test) and/or the liquidity position (liquidity stress test) of
the Group.
3. Risk Appetite setting and capital allocation
Risk Appetite is a key managerial instrument used with the purpose of setting the adequate levels of risk the Bank is willing to have and consistently
steering its business evolution (see the RAF section below for details). The Group capital plays a crucial role in the main corporate governance
processes that drive strategic decisions, as target and risk tolerance thresholds, in terms of regulatory and internal capital. It is also a key element of
the Risk Appetite Framework of the Group.
4. Monitoring and Reporting
Capital adequacy evaluation is a dynamic process that requires a regular monitoring to support the decision-making processes.
The Bank monitors its main risk profile with a frequency consistent with the nature of each single risk. On top of this, a quarterly reporting of
integrated risks and Risk Appetite evolution is performed and reported to the relevant Risk Committees and Governing Bodies, in order to set and
implement and efficient and effective ICAAP framework.
Capital adequacy is assessed considering the balance between the assumed risks and the available capital both in a regulatory and in an economic
perspective. With respect to economic perspective and to Going Concern approach, capital adequacy is assessed by comparing the amount of
financial resources available to absorb losses and to ensure the business continuity of the Group, the so-called Available Financial Resources
(“AFR”), with the economic capital internally estimated (Internal Capital - “IC”). The AFR are computed according to the Group principles and
consistent with prudential regulation, in fact the regulatory capital (Own Funds) is the basis for the AFR quantification. The Group capital instruments
that are included in the AFR satisfy the following three criteria:
• loss absorbency in Going Concern approach;
• permanence;
• flexibility of payments.
The ratio between AFR and IC is the Risk Taking Capacity (“RTC”). This ratio must be above 100% (AFR>IC) in order to avoid that risk exposures
are higher than the Available Financial Resources. RTC is one of the key indicators included in the Group RAF dashboard on which the Bank
leverages to guide the selection of the desired risk-return profile in alignment with its business strategies.
A milestone of the ICAAP is the Risk Appetite, which in UniCredit group is defined as the level of risk that the Group is willing to take and the risk-
return profile it fixes to achieve in pursuing its strategic objectives and business plan, taking into account the interest of its stakeholders (e.g.
customers, policymakers, regulators, shareholders) as well as capital and other regulatory and law requirements. The Group Risk Appetite is
approved on an annual basis by the Board of Directors and is regularly monitored and reported, at least quarterly, to the relevant committees, with
the aim of ensuring the consistency with the risk return profile set by the Board of Directors. At local level, the risk appetite is set for the main Legal
Entities and Subgroups and approved by the local competent functions.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The main goals of UniCredit group’s Risk Appetite are:
• assessing explicitly the risks and their interconnections UniCredit group is willing to accept or should avoid in one year horizon; Risk Appetite
targets should be consistent with the ones defined in the strategic multi-year plan;
• specifying the types of risk UniCredit group intends to assume by setting the targets, triggers and limits, under both normal and stressed operating
conditions;
• ensuring an “ex ante” risk-return profile consistent with long term sustainability, in coherence with multi-year strategic plan/budget;
• ensuring that the business develops within the risk tolerance set by the Parent Company Board of Directors, also in respect of national and
international regulations;
• supporting the evaluation of future strategic options with reference to risk profile;
• addressing internal and external stakeholders’ view on risk profile consistent with the strategic positioning.
The Group Risk Appetite is defined consistently with UniCredit group business model. For this purpose, Group Risk Appetite is integrated in the
budget process, in order to guide the selection of the desired risk-return profile in alignment with the Strategic Plan guidelines and at inception of the
budget process.
UniCredit Compensation Policy is consistent with the Group Risk Appetite to allow the effective implementation of risk reward remuneration for
bonus definition and payments.
The structure of the Risk Appetite in UniCredit group includes the Group Risk Appetite Statement and the Group Risk Appetite KPIs Dashboard.
The Risk Appetite Statement defines the positioning of the bank in terms of strategic targets and related risk profiles to address internal and external
stakeholders’ expectations and includes:
• a guidance on the overall key boundaries for the Group in terms of focus of activity;
• a definition of the desired risk-return profile, in line with the Group’s overall strategy;
• an indication on strategies to manage key risks within the perimeter of the Group;
• qualitative statements for not quantifiable and emerging risks (e.g. "Tone from the Top", Risk culture, Climate & Environmental risk) in order to
ensure prevention/early intervention on emerging risks.
The quantitative elements of the Risk Appetite Framework are instead represented by a Dashboard, composed by a set of KPIs, based on the
analysis of the expectations of UniCredit group internal and external stakeholders, including material risks to which the Group is exposed and
addressing the following categories:
• Regulatory KPIs: to guarantee at any time the fulfilment of the KPIs requested by Regulators (e.g. Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio, Liquidity
Coverage Ratio);
• Managerial KPIs: KPIs considered to be key from strategic and Risk Appetite standpoint and defined to ensure steering of all key financial risks
(e.g. Credit Risk, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risks, Market and Sovereign Risks), Profitability, non-financial risks (e.g. Operational risk, ICT and
Cyber risk, Compliance risk) and Climate & Environmental risk.
For each of the above dimensions, one or more KPIs are identified, in order to quantitatively measure the position of the Group in different ways:
absolute values, ratios, sensitivities to defined parameters.
Various levels of thresholds are defined to act as early warning indicators anticipating potential risk situations that will be promptly escalated at
relevant organisational level. If specific Risk Appetite thresholds are met, the necessary management measures have to be adopted for effectively
adjusting the risk profile. The thresholds are identified as follows (on certain KPIs, not all the thresholds may be meaningful):
• Targets represent the amount of risk the Group is willing to take on in normal conditions in line with the Group ambition. They are the reference
thresholds for the development and steering of the business;
• Triggers represent, from a managerial standpoint, the maximum acceptable level of deviation from the defined target thresholds, or more generally
a Warning Level, and are set consistently to assure that the Group can operate, even under stress conditions;
• Limits are hard points that represent, from a statutory standpoint, the maximum acceptable level of risk for the Group.
Thresholds setting is evaluated by the relevant competent functions, also through managerial decision by the Board of Directors, respecting
regulatory and supervisory requirements and also taking into account stakeholders’ expectations and positioning versus peers. In addition, UniCredit
group has a series of transversal operational limits and metrics that cover the main risk profiles in order to supplement the Risk Appetite Framework.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
According to the EBA guidelines, each year ICAAP information is collected for SREP purposes and sent to the Regulator. The Board of Directors,
which authorises the sending of this information to the Authorities, also acknowledges that the risk governance of the Group is deemed adequate,
guaranteeing that the risk management system in place is in line with the risk profile and strategy of the Group. In addition, the Board of Directors
approved and signed the Capital Adequacy Statement submitted to the meeting held on 8 April 2020. In the Capital Adequacy Statement, the Board
of Directors states that the current Capital of the Group is adequate to cover its risk profile and the operation of its business model, which is also
grounded on the actions planned within the MYP “Team 2023”. In addition the usage of the RAF as a key tool and cornerstone for risk strategy
appraisal will continue to represent a fundamental pillar of the ICAAP and allow to activate prompt actions in case of both regulatory and internal
capital trigger/limit breaches.
Risk Culture in UniCredit group
UniCredit defines risk culture as the collective and individual ability to identify, understand, openly discuss and make decisions on current and future
risks.
Since the financial markets crisis, both the financial industry and regulators have been addressing the issue of risk culture, giving a definition of it,
identifying its key elements, establishing principles of conduct, providing recommendations and issuing guidelines. The main documents are
mentioned here below.
• Institute of International Finance (IIF), 17 July 2008, “Final Report of the IIF Committee on Market Best Practices: Principles of Conduct and
Best Practices Recommendations - Financial Services Industry Response to the Market Turmoil of 2007-2008”. In this document the financial
industry establishes the principle that effective cultivation of a consistent risk culture throughout firms is the main enabling tool in risk management.
In addition, the following recommendations are provided:
- companies should establish clear policies that define risk management as the responsibility of each institution’s senior management, in particular
the CEO;
- Boards of Directors have an essential oversight role in risk management;
- risk management should be a priority for the whole company and not be focused only on particular business areas or a purely quantitative
oversight process or an audit or a control function;
- risk management should be a key responsibility of the entire business-line management;
- all the employees should have a clear understanding of their responsibilities with regard to the management of risks assumed by the company
and should be held accountable for their performance with reference to these responsibilities.
• Institute of International Finance (IIF), 9 December 2009, “Risk Culture” - Appendix III to the Report of the IIF Steering Committee on
Implementation “Reform in the Financial Services Industry: Strengthening Practices for a More Stable System”. In this document the IIF identifies
the key elements of an effective risk culture and the most common categories of risk culture failings within organisations.
• European Banking Authority (EBA), 27 September 2011 (review November 2017), “EBA Guidelines on Internal Governance”. In this document
the EBA requires that a financial institution shall develop an integrated and institution-wide risk culture, based on a full understanding of the risks it
faces and how they are managed, taking into account its risk tolerance and appetite.
In addition, on 7 April 2014 the Financial Stability Board (FSB) issued the document “Guidance on Supervisory Interaction with Financial
Institutions on Risk Culture - A Framework for Assessing Risk Culture”, which identifies the foundational elements that contribute to the promotion of
a sound risk culture within financial institutions. The guidelines aim at assisting supervisors in assessing the soundness and effectiveness of a
financial institution’s culture in managing risks. Risk Culture indicators are:
• Tone from the top: the Board of Directors and senior management are the starting point for setting the financial institution’s core values and risk
culture, and their behaviours must reflect the values being espoused.
• Accountability: a successful risk management requires employees at all levels to understand the core values of the institution’s risk culture and its
approach to risk, be capable of performing their prescribed roles, and be aware that they are held accountable for their actions in relation to the
institution’s risk-taking behaviour.
• Effective communication and challenge: a sound risk culture promotes an environment of open communication and effective challenge in which
decision-making processes encourage a range of views, allow for testing of current practices, and stimulate a positive, critical attitude among
employees and an environment of open and constructive engagement.
• Incentives: performance and talent management should encourage and reinforce maintenance of the financial institution’s desired risk
management behaviour. Financial and non-financial incentives should reward servicing the long-term interests of the financial institution and its
clients, including sustained profitability, as opposed to short-term revenue generation.
The success of risk-taking institutions in this new economic environment highly depends on their risk management capabilities.
The key pillars of successful risk management include understanding risks and its effects on the income statement and the balance sheet, creating a
consistent base level of technical risk knowledge, reinforcing communications at all levels, and creating a mindset that anticipates changes in the
macro environment.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In order to be properly prepared to deal with these challenges, UniCredit Board of Directors is strongly committed to, and focused on, cultivating a
consistent risk culture throughout the Group - the initiative having been identified as the main enabling tool in risk management. In this context of
rapidly evolving markets and regulatory requirements, the Group Risk management, in line with its mission as defined by the Board of Directors of
UniCredit, has launched a structured and comprehensive approach to strengthen UniCredit risk culture. The transformational program aims at
changing mindset and behaviours of all the Bank’s employees, across all organisational levels, from top management to front-line, by addressing the
following areas:
1. Governance;
2. Learning and development;
3. Performance management;
4. Communication.
1. Governance
Risk Governance - One of the key elements in risk management is the Risk Appetite Framework, please refer to the “Introduction”.
Dedicated Group Risk Committees have been established in order to strengthen the capacity of independent steering, coordination and control of
Group risks, to improve the efficiency and the flexibility of the risks decision process and to address the interaction between the relevant risk
stakeholders.
2. Learning & Development
Training - Training is fundamental to risk culture. The learning framework is characterised by digital, modular and freestanding solutions and is
based on adaptive learning methods. Three main streams ensure that all the participants are fully aware of the different risks. These streams are
differentiated according to the target population and the required risk knowledge. At the same time, those in specific positions and risk professionals
will receive further training specifically tailored to the requirements and challenges of their jobs.
Cross-functional job rotation - Learning on the job and cross-functional rotation, in which colleagues from the business lines work in risk functions,
and vice versa, have been extremely valuable and helpful. These initiatives facilitate the virtuous cycle for bringing business knowledge to risk
functions and introducing risk awareness to the decision-making process of the business lines. In addition, they enable the exchange of expertise
and points of view that improves the colleagues’ capabilities to analyse, approach and mutually understand the different situations they both face on
a daily basis.
3. Performance Management
Remuneration - To reinforce the Bank's risk culture, also the link between remuneration and risk represents an important element. This link is
ensured by the involvement of the Risk function in compensation design and the definition of an explicit framework to base remuneration within an
overarching Group Risk Appetite framework. In particular, the Board of Directors with the support of the competent Supervisory Committees
(Remuneration Committee and Internal Controls and Risks Committee) and upon the input of involved functions ensures the link among profitability,
risk and reward within Group Incentive Systems. For further information regarding the alignment of risk and remuneration policies, refer to the
dedicated chapter published annually in the year-end version of this document.
Risk-based KPIs - At Group level, the strong commitment to a consistent risk culture as well as the individual accountability of risk, compliance and
controls is constantly promoted and enhanced. Group Human Capital (HC) contributes to this, spreading Group-wide risk, compliance & control
culture by leveraging on the existing framework and building selected initiatives.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 267
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Over the past few years, HC built up a framework to enhance internal control system awareness and accountability by setting processes that embed
sensitivity to Risk and Compliance attitudes, such as Executive Development Plan (EDP - the annual performance management and review process
of UniCredit, involving all the Executives of the Group), Group Incentive System, Learning & Development.
Since 2012, as part of the EDP and incentive system processes, the Group put specific emphasis on risk, compliance and control features. In
particular:
• the KPI Bluebook (a set of guidelines for defining individual goals consistent with business direction, risk perspective, regulatory framework and
sustainability) contains specific KPIs focused on risk and control culture;
• the Compliance Assessment, pursuant to which Managers are required to prove the employee’s reliability with regards to risks and compliance,
with specific focus on legal anti-money laundering obligations.
4. Communication
Within the UniCredit risk culture transformation program, great emphasis is put on aligning and re-iterating key messages on UniCredit mission,
values, strategy and risk appetite, as well as on the importance of and commitment to a strong risk culture. In addition, top management care is
devoted to transforming words into tangible actions and to show how the Group is embedding risk culture into its operating practices. An editorial
plan has been developed, to communicate common statements on risk culture. During 2020 articles and news relating to risk culture and risk
management were published on UniCredit group intranet site, reaching about 25,000 page views.
Reconciliation between accounting perimeter and prudential perimeter
Note that Section 1 - Risks of the accounting consolidated perimeter provides information on companies included in the accounting perimeter of
consolidation. Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter provides information referred to the prudential perimeter of consolidation.
In this regard the accounting perimeter is composed by companies fully consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10, for additional information refer to
to Part A - Accounting policies - Section 3 - Consolidation scope and methods.
The prudential perimeter is composed by companies subject to full consolidation in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on “prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms” (CRR).
Prudential perimeter differs, as a result, from the accounting perimeter due to the accounting through the equity method of those subsidiaries that
are not engaged in banking activity, financial activity of instrumental activity, which are subject to full consolidation in the accounting perimeter.
The interests held in these companies is included in item 70. Equity investments.

Relais Transaction
The "Relais Transaction" (hereinafter "Relais") is part of the programme for the disposal of assets, falling within the "Non Core" perimeter belonging
to the UniCredit group, through a market transaction. It relates to a set of credit exposures classified as Bad loans and referred to a real estate
Leasing portfolio that, as at 31 March 2020 and 31 July 2020 (cut-off dates), amounted to €1,566 billion in terms of gross book value (€1,582 billion
in terms of credit claim), hereinafter it is defined also the "Portfolio".
Relais is a comprehensive transaction, approved by the Board of Directors of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. on 24 November 2020, implemented through
2 process phases:
• PHASE 1: securitization of receivables (Bad Loans) originated by UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. (the "Securitization"). On 1 December 2020, UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. sold the above-mentioned Portfolio to the special purpose vehicle Relais SPV S.r.l. for a consideration of €567 million, which was
settled on 9 December 2020 through the full subscription by UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. of all Asset Backed Secured securities (hereinafter ABS or
Notes) (Senior Notes for €466 million, Mezzanine for €91 million and Junior for €10 million).
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. does not have any role in the recovery or administrative management of collections of securitised receivables as Servicer
or Master Servicer or other similar parties within the Securitization transaction, nor any control over the recovery process pursuant to the
agreements signed.
It is worth to note that, before the sale, the Corporate Servicer of the operation, a company outside the UniCredit group, in order to maintain the
guarantee link between the credit reasons of the Buyer and the assets subject to the leasing contracts from which the Leasing Receivables
originate and consistently with the provisions of Law 130/99, has create ''support vehicle company'' Relais Leasco S.r.l. with the aim to acquiring,
managing and enhancing the assets and the legal relationships connected with the securitised receivables. The properties and management
contracts not yet regularised and/or repossessed associated with the Portfolio were transferred to Relais Leasco S.r.l. through a spin-off (on 26
November 2020), while those regularised or repossessed were transferred through a block sale (on 1 December 2020) pursuant to Art.58
(Consolidated law on banking - “TUB”).
• PHASE 2: Partial sale by UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes to third parties outside the UniCredit group.
On 22 December 2020, UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. exercised its put option on the basis of which it sold 95% of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes
(€86,450,000 and €9,500,000 nominal value respectively) to doValue, for a total price of €20,558,070, retaining the remaining 5%. The
agreements with doValue provide a profit-sharing mechanism to be linked to the option, from the subsequent sale of the notes on the market,
equal to 50% of the difference, if positive, between the sale price and the exercise price of the backstop, up to a maximum of €4 million in favor of
doValue.
The sale of 95% of the Mezzanine and Junior Securities created the fundamental and substantial requirements, pursuant to Accounting Principles,
for the derecognition from the UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. balance sheet of the receivables belonging to bad loans portfolio securitised with the Relais
Transaction.
In this context, it should be noted that the combination of the sale of the mezzanine and junior notes and the backstop agreement has implicate that
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. is partly exposed to the returns generated by the transaction, in terms of profits from the sale of the notes to third-party
investors, while it is only limitedly exposed to the losses of the original portfolio (taking into account that any losses incurred on the junior and
mezzanine notes due to the failure to repay the securitised receivables or their sale at a lower price than that paid by doValue will be borne, for 95%,
by the third buyers of the notes themselves and/or by doValue itself).
Considered the above, it was concluded, also with the support of a specific quantitative analysis, that UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. has neither retained
nor substantially transferred all the risks and returns associated with the transferred Portfolio.
As a result, pursuant to paragraph 3.2.6 of accounting standard IFRS9, it has been verified that UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. has transferred the control
on the transferred assets. In this context, it was noted that there were no restrictions on the ability of the vehicle Relais SPV S.r.l. to freely sell the
receivables transferred to it. Indeed, after the transfer, UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. will not be able to influence in any way the management of the
receivables by the vehicle and the servicer, including their sale, either directly or indirectly considered the limited share of mezzanine and junior
notes held.
On the basis of the above, and having verified that UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. - although it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and returns associated with the transferred portfolio - has nevertheless transferred the control over the assets subject to disposal, the Portfolio
was derecognised coherently with the aforementioned paragraph 3.2.6 of IFRS9.
At consolidated level the analysis performed have led to confirm that credit recovery activities are carried out by the Master and Special Servicer of
the securitization without any power of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. to influence the relative decisions, therefore on the basis of the requirements of
IFRS10 UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. does not control the vehicle and consequently the vehicle itself is not consolidated within the UniCredit group.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Aspects relating to the valuation of credit exposures as at 31 December 2020
As at 31 December 2020, also taking into account the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the evaluation included some additional aspects compared
with previous years.
In this regard, it is worth to note the valuations performed in order to verify the significant increase in credit risk and to embed the effects related to
the new definition of default, for details refer to Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies - Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidation.
In this context, it should be specified that:
• the assessment of the increase in credit risk connected with the pandemic context, has determined impairment losses for €415 million following
the classification in Stage 2 of the related exposures (of which €274 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.);
• the inclusion of the effects connected with the new definition of default, according to the methods explained in the aforementioned Part E -
Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidation has led to the recognition of impairment losses for €535
million (of which €366 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Moreover, the update of the macro-economic scenario during 2020 has led to the recognition of impairment losses on loans for €808 million (of
which €504 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.). For further details refer to Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the
prudential consolidated financial statements, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information and, for a description of the assumptions characterizing the
scenarios used, to Part A - Accounting policies, Section 2 - General preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
Finally, as specified in Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated financial statements, to
which refer for further details, the valuation of impaired exposures (Stage 3), among other things, considers possible sale scenarios whether the
Group's NPE strategy envisages recovery also through their sale on the market.
With regard to the selling scenarios, already during the 2019, the Strategic Plan 2020-2023 (Team 23), completing what had already been defined in
the context of the previous Plan 2016-2019 (Transform 2019), strengthened the strategy to reduce impaired credit exposures by envisaging the total
"rundown" of the Non Core30 portfolio by the end of 2021. This reinforcement, approved by UniCredit's Board of Directors on 2 December 2019 had
implicated the recognition of additional loan loss provisions for €1,055 million as at 31 December 2019 (€827 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.).
In December 2020, the Group updated its disposal plan 2021-2023 providing, in addition to the total rundown of the "Non Core" portfolio, also the
disposal of non-performing exposures belonging to the "Core" perimeter.
The non-performing exposures, for which a sale strategy is envisaged, falling within the “Core” perimeter (€2.6 billion at 31 December 2020, entirely
attributable to UniCredit S.p.A.) and within the “Non Core” perimeter (about €1.8 billion at the end of 2020, of which €1.7 billion referred to UniCredit
S.p.A.) have been evaluated based on the sales expectations of the related portfolios included into the IFRS9 Selling Scenarios.
For the purposes of this measurement, steps were taken to:
• identify the perimeters (“Core” and “Non Core”) by aggregating the positions into macro-cluster based on guiding values (nature of the credit,
classification, type of counterparty, existence of supporting guarantees, liquidity characteristics, etc.) and to
• define the price for each cluster deemed most representative, through observable internal or market benchmarks, depending on the availability of
information and in compliance with the criteria defined by the internal regulations.
Further specific parameters have been considered that have been applied in relation to each of the two perimeters “Core” and “Non Core”, as the
probability of disposal and additional factors to represent in the most appropriate way the characteristics and specificities of the receivables falling
within each cluster, such as vintage, any causes of illiquidity, the observation of migrations at a different stage, the recovery estimates no later than
2021 for “Non Core” perimeter. These analyses led to the determination of reference prices, also on the basis of the evidence arising from the
collaboration with a leading company outside the Group; the application of these prices to the exposures belonging to the potential sale perimeter
generated the recognition of write-downs for €502 million (of which €473 million referred to UniCredit S.p.A.) broken down as follows: (i) €453 million
related to the “Core” portfolio (entirely related to UniCredit S.p.A.); (ii) €49 million related to the “Non Core” portfolio (€20 million related to UniCredit
S.p.A.).
The results have been therefore incorporated into Selling Scenarios IFRS9 and contributed to determine the evaluation described above.

B. Structured entities (other than entities for securitisation transaction)
B.1 Consolidated structured entities
The Group has involvements in structured entities that are consolidated because it has both power on the underlying assets and exposure to
variability of returns arising from the structured entities activities as a result of the financial instruments subscribed.
The consolidated structured entities of the Group belong to one of the following categories:
• Leasing SPV: these structured entities are set-up by the Group in order to meet the needs of customers interested into entering into finance
leasing. The Group provides funding to these structured entities, both in form of equity and in form of loans. Such funding is used by structured
entities to buy assets (real estate, equipment, etc.) that are leased to a customer under a finance leasing contract;
• Project finance SPV: these structured entities are set-up in order to finance capital intensive projects according to the need of specific customers.
Typically the funds needed to develop the project are provided by the customer, in form of equity and by the Group in form of loans. The Group
consolidates such structured entities as a result of deterioration of the credit worthiness of the customer and subsequent acquisition of the right to
manage the project;
• Real estate SPV: these structured entities are entities that have been set-up in order to fund real estate projects used in the business by the
Group or that have been acquired it the course of credit recovery processes;
• Funding SPV: these structured entities are set-up by the Group so to gather funding in specific markets that is guaranteed by a Group Legal
entity. This funding is then transferred to the group legal entity that guarantees it;
• Investment funds: these structured entities are open ended and closed ended investment funds that the Group controls under IFRS10 having
acquired enough quotas to expose it to variability of returns and the ability to manage, directly and indirectly, the underlying portfolio;
• Warehousing SPV: these structured entities are set-up in order to subsequently perform securitisation transactions. In particular they purchase
mortgages in specific markets and from different originators until a “critical mass” that allow to perform securitisation is reached. The purchases of
mortgages are funded through loans provided by the Group.
During the period the Group has not provided financial support to consolidated structured entities, other than those for securitisation transactions, in
absence of contractual obligation to do so and it doesn’t have current intention to provide such support.
The following table provides on balance sheet and off-balance sheet, non revocable credit line and financial guarantees, provided by Group
companies to consolidated structured entities.
These exposures are eliminated in the consolidation process.

B.2 Non-consolidated for accounting purposes structured entities
B.2.1. Consolidated for regulatory purposes structured entities
The Group has not exposure toward structured entities consolidated for regulatory purpose but that are not consolidated for accounting purpose.
B.2.2. Other structured entities
Qualitative information
The Group has exposure toward unconsolidated structured entities either as a result of its lending activities or through the investments in quotas
issued by funds that are structured entities under IFRS12 definition.
In particular, unconsolidated structured entities in which the Group is exposed to belong to the following categories:
• Acquisition and Leveraged Finance structured entities are set up for providing funding for the acquisition of a target business, where sponsors
participate with equity contribution and lenders structure their facilities according to the cash flow profile of the target. The Group provides funding
to these structured entities according to the applicable internal credit policies described in Part E - Section 1 that also define the level of equity that
has to be provided by the sponsor.
The Group has no control over these structured entities because it neither manages the company whose acquisition is being financed nor is
significantly exposed to the associated variability of returns;
• Leasing structured entities are set-up to buy an asset and rent it to customers (based on a financial leasing contract). The funding is provided
through loans, and the structured entities are the owner of the asset. At the end of the contract the asset is usually sold to the customer at a price
usually equal to the residual value defined by the contract.
The Group provides funding to these structured entities according to the applicable internal credit policies described in Part E - Section 1.In
particular, the contracts ruling such transactions and associated guarantees ensure that the Group has no control over these structured entities
because it neither manages the activities of the structured entities nor is significantly exposed to variability of returns of the leased assets;
• Market Related structured entities are set-up in order to allow customers to invest into financial instruments having features, in term of currency
of denomination or interest rate, different from those offered in the market. In this context the Group maintains exposures against these vehicles
that, however, do not transfer to the Group the main risks of the underlying;
• Notes issuing structured entities are structured entities that issue security different from ABS that are backed up by certain type of assets.
These include covered bonds issued by third parties.
The Group does not control these structured entities as it has neither the ability to manage the underlying assets nor retains significant exposures
to its variability of returns;
• Project Finance structured entities are structured entities set up for the financing capital intensive business initiatives, where customers
participate with equity contribution. The Group provides funding to these structured entities according to the applicable internal credit policies
described in Part E - Section 1 that also define the level of equity that has to be provided by the customers.
The Group has no control over these structured entities because it neither manages the assets being financed nor is significantly exposed to the
resulting variability of returns;
• Real Estate structured entities are set-up for the financing of specific real estate initiatives. In these structures the customers, typically
commercial and residential development companies and institutional investors set up the structured entities and provides the equity. The Group
provides funding according to the applicable internal credit policies described in Part E - Section 1 that also define the level of equity that has to be
provided by the customers.
The Group has no control over these structured entities because it neither manages the assets being financed nor is significantly exposed to the
resulting variability of returns;
• Shipping and Aircraft structured entities are set up for the building or the acquisition of a ship or an aircraft that is then used by the customers
in the context of their business activities.
The Group provides funding to these structured entities according to the applicable internal credit policies described in Part E - Section 1 that also
define the level of equity that has to be provided by the customers.
The Group has no control over these structured entities because it neither manages the assets being financed nor is significantly exposed to the
resulting variability of returns;
• Warehousing structured entities support subsequent securitisation transactions through the purchase of mortgages in specific markets and from
different originators until a “critical mass” that allows to perform such securitisation is reached;
• Investments funds comprise open ended and closed ended investment funds in which the Group has subscribed quotas or provided loans.

Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter
2.1 Credit risk
Qualitative information
1. General aspects
In UniCredit the current governance model of credit risk, intended as risk of impairment of a credit exposure deriving from an unexpected
deterioration of the counterparty’s creditworthiness, provides for two levels of control:
• on the one hand, the supervision of the Parent Company Risk Governance functions which steer and control the credit risk and perform a
managerial coordination with respect to the relevant Group legal entities’ Risk Management functions;
• on the other hand, the supervision of the relevant Group legal entities’ Risk Management functions which perform the control and the management
of the risk portfolios at Country level.
This model also leverages the current governance structure which provides the organisational separation between the functions responsible for the
credit operational management (i.e. Group Lending Office) and the control functions (within Group Risk Management).
With reference to credit risk management topics, the mechanisms of interaction between the Parent Company and the Group legal entities are
defined by specific credit governance rules that, on the one hand, regulate the respective responsibilities and, on the other hand, ensure the
compliance of the overall credit risk framework with the regulatory framework which the Parent Company is subject to.
Within its role of guidance, support and control, the Parent Company acts in the following areas: credit rules (principles, policies and processes),
credit strategies and credit risk limits, models development, rating systems validation, large exposures management, issuance of credit products,
monitoring and reporting portfolio credit risk.
In line with such credit governance rules, the Group legal entities request the Group Lending Office’s opinion before granting new or reviewing
existing credit lines to individual borrowers or economic groups whenever these credit lines exceed defined thresholds, also with reference to the
compliance with the credit risk concentration limits being measured with respect to the regulatory capital.
According to the role assigned by the Group governance to the Parent Company, specifically to the Group Risk Management function, general
provisions are established (“General principles for credit activities”) defining Group-wide rules and principles for guiding, governing and
standardising the credit risk assessment and management, in line with the regulatory requirements and the Group best practice. These general
provisions are further supplemented by policies which, regulating specific topics (e.g. business areas, segment activities, type of
counterpart/transaction), are divided into two categories:
• policies on Group-wide topics, drafted and issued by the Parent Company and sent to all the legal entities. Some examples are the policies on
FIBS counterparties (Financial Institutions, Banks and Sovereigns), on Country Risk Limits, on Project Finance and Acquisition & Leveraged
Finance transactions, on underwriting risk limits for Syndicated Loan portfolio, on Commercial Real Estate Financing (CREF) and on Structured
Trade and Export Finance (STEF);
• policies locally developed by single legal entities, fully in line with the guidelines defined at Parent Company level, that regulate credit practices
relating to rules and peculiarities of the local market and that are, therefore, applicable only within the respective perimeter.
At both legal entity and Parent Company level, the policies (if necessary) are further detailed through operating instructions that describe specific
rules supporting the execution of day-by-day activities.
Credit policies, which usually have a static approach and are revised when necessary (e.g. in case of evolution of the external regulatory
framework), are supplemented by credit risk strategies (approved by the Board of Directors in the context of the Risk Appetite Framework) which,
instead, are updated at least once a year and define with which customers/products, industry segments and geographical areas the Group and the
Group legal entities intend to develop their credit business.
More in general, the Group credit strategies are an effective tool for managing credit risk, contributing to the definition of the budget objectives in line
with the Group's risk appetite, of which they are an integral part. They also constitute a management tool as they translate the metrics defined within
the Risk Appetite into concrete form.
On the basis of the macroeconomic and credit scenario, the outlook at the economic sector level, as well as the business initiatives/strategies, the
Credit Strategies provide a set of guidelines and operational targets aimed at the countries and business segments in which the Group work and are
performed on the operating structures of each Legal Entity and included in their respective commercial policies. The ultimate goal is to ensure
sustainable commercial growth, consistent with the risk profile of each company, remaining within the limits defined by the Group risk appetite
framework.
Within the framework of the strategies underlying credit activity, concentration risk is considered of particular importance. This is the risk associated
with losses generated by a single exposure or group of related exposures that (in relation to the capital of a bank, total assets or the overall risk
level) can generate potentially serious effects on the solidity and operation "core" of the Group.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In compliance with the relevant regulatory framework, UniCredit group manages the credit risk of concentration through specific limits that represent
the maximum risk that the Group intends to accept regarding:
• individual counterparties or groups of connected counterparties (Single Name Bulk Risk);
• counterparties belonging to the same economic sector (Industry Concentration Risk).
The results of stress test simulations related to expected loss are an integrated part of the definition of credit strategies.
With specific reference to the UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter, useful for integrating the general contents valid at Group level, refers to paragraph of Part
E - Notes to the accounts of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. - Section 1 - Credit Risk - Qualitative information - 1. General Aspects which is
herewith quoted entirely.
Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to credit risk, UniCredit positively sees all the initiatives aimed at supporting the real economy that have been put in place by the EU
government and is complementing them with additional measure to support customers over this period and to reduce as much as possible the
negative effects of this crisis. All concessions are defined to respond as quickly as possible to the drawback deriving from a temporary slow-down of
the economic cycle and related liquidity issues. The potential impact on the bank’s risk profile is mitigated with:
• acquisition of public guarantees in line with the mechanisms put in place by the various governments;
• an ex-ante and ongoing evaluation of the client’s risk profile.
UniCredit has defined Group guiding principles for underwriting, monitoring and management of Moratorium/emergency schemes, to cope with the
new challenges and to early detect potential signals of asset quality deterioration.
With specific reference to the moratorium measures, and in order to provide relief to the lockdown measures put in place for containing Covid-19
outbreak, UniCredit group arranged several initiatives available to customers, whose specific features are different in each country in terms of scope
of customers and product types, typically allow the postponement of instalments and the increase in the residual maturity of credit exposures.
Among these initiatives, a number of moratoriums specifically have met the definition of “General Payment” (either legislative or assimilated non-
legislative ones) according the “Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19
crisis”31 issued by EBA in April 2020 (and updated in September and December 2020), as broadly applied by credit institution on the basis of
national laws or industry- or sector-wide private initiatives. The Group has also implemented other moratorium initiatives not specifically referred to
the above mentioned EBA guidelines and therefore granted by the Institutions as additional customer support tools to deal with the context of
difficulties and independently from national law or industry- or sector-wide private initiatives.
On the basis of the above-mentioned EBA GLs the Group Guidelines defined by the Parent Company address all legal entities on rating assignment
process and regulatory treatment for the above-mentioned Moratoria and Guarantee Schemes.
Specifically, different regulatory treatments are allowed with respect to forbearance measures as well as Default detection, particularly from the point
of view of the Unlikely To Pay (“UTP”) assessment:
• General Payment Moratoria granting does not trigger automatically a forbearance classification, but a specific assessment is aimed at verifying the
financial difficulty situation; in this case UTP assessment shall be applied both during the period of the moratorium and shortly after its end;
• for other moratoria initiatives the ordinary forbearance process is applied testing financial difficulty at concession; in this case UTP assessment
shall be applied at concession and afterwards.
Specific guidelines have been established for rating assignment with the request for a forward-looking perspective to be adopted for the qualitative
component of the rating to incorporate potential macro-economic rebound combined with sector outlook in case applicable.
Such Guidelines are intended valid up to the duration set for General Payment Moratoria and up to 2020-year end for Bank specific initiatives.
31 Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis issued on 2 April 2020 (“EBA/GL/2020/02”) and subsequent amendment EBA/GL/2020/15.

2. Credit risk management policies
2.1 Organisational aspects
Factors that generate credit risk
During the ongoing credit and business activities, the Group is exposed to the risk that an unexpected change in a counterparty's creditworthiness
may generate a corresponding unexpected change in the value of the associated credit exposure and may thus result in a partial or full write-off.
This risk is always associated to the traditional lending practice, regardless of the form of the credit facility (whether cash or credit commitments,
secured or unsecured, etc.).
The main reasons of a default lie in the borrower’s failure to fulfil its credit obligation (due to the lack of liquidity, for insolvency reasons, etc.), as well
as the occurrence of macro-economic and political events that are affecting the debtor’s operating and financial conditions. Other banking
operations, in addition to traditional lending and deposit activities, can constitute other credit risk factors. In this view, “non-traditional” credit risk may
arise from:
• subscription of derivative contracts;
• purchase and selling of securities, futures, currencies or commodities;
• holding third-party securities.
The counterparties in these transactions or issuers of securities held by Group legal entities could default as a result of insolvency, political and
economic events, lack of liquidity, operational deficiencies or other reasons. Defaults of a large amount of transactions, or one more large
transaction, could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s activities, financial condition and operating profits.
The Group therefore monitors and manages the specific risk of each counterparty as well as the overall risk of loan portfolios through procedures,
functions and rules that steer, govern and standardise the assessment and management of credit risk, in line with the Group principles and best
practice.
Organisational structure
As highlighted in the previously paragraph “General aspects”, the credit risk management in the UniCredit group breaks down into two structures:
• Group Risk Management, responsible for steering, governance and control of credit risk;
• Group Lending Office, responsible for the operational credit management;

information, 2. Credit risk management policies, which is herewith quoted entirely.
2.2 Credit Risk Management, Measurement and Control
The credit risk, associated to the potential loss arising either from a default of the borrower/issuer or from a decrease in the market value of a
financial obligation due to a deterioration in its credit quality, is measured at both single borrower/transaction and at whole portfolio level.
Credit lending to single customers, during both the approval and monitoring phases, is supported by a credit rating process, differentiated by
customer segment and product. The assessment of a counterpart’s creditworthiness, within the credit proposal evaluation, begins with an analysis of
the financial statements and the qualitative data (competitive positioning, corporate and organisational structure, etc.), regional and industry factors
and counterpart behaviour within the entity or the banking system (e.g. Bank of Italy Centrale dei Rischi), and results in a rating, i.e. the
counterpart’s probability of default (“PD”) on a one-year time horizon.
Each borrower’s credit rating is reviewed at least annually based on the new information acquired. Each borrower is also assessed in the context of
the belonging economic group by considering, when needed, the risk for the entire Group.
The internal rating assigned to each borrower and its economic group exposure both contribute to the lending decision calculation, defined in such a
way that, at a constant credit amount, the approval powers granted to each decision-making corporate body are gradually reduced in proportion to
the increased borrower/related risk level.
The organisational model used by UniCredit group also includes a dedicated function, which is separated from loan approval and business functions
and is responsible for the management of the so-called rating “overrides”, i.e. any changes to the automatic rating calculated by the rating system
(where it is foreseen).
Regular monitoring of the rating focuses on the borrower’s performance management, using all the internal and external available information to get
a score representing a synthetic assessment of the risk associated. This score is obtained using a statistical function that summarises the available
information using a set of significant variables that are predictors of an event of default within a 12-months horizon.
In addition to the usual estimation of risk parameters over one-year time horizon, multi-period risk parameters are estimated to provide a more
robust assessment of the risk-adjusted performance in compliance with the accounting standards requirements.
Besides the methodologies summarised in the rating systems, the Group Risk Management function leverages on portfolio models enabled to
measure credit risk on an aggregated basis and to identify the contribution of single sub-portfolio or obligor to the overall risk.
There are three fundamental portfolio credit risk measures which are calculated and evaluated on a time horizon of one year:
• Expected Loss (“EL”);
• Credit Value at Risk (Credit “VaR”);
• Expected Shortfall (“ES”).
The estimate of Credit VaR at overall portfolio level is derived from the distribution of losses obtained by Monte Carlo simulation on the horizon of
one year, considering the correlations among counterparties. The total loss in each default scenario is the sum of the individual losses, being
defined as the product of LGD (Loss Given Default) and EAD (Exposure At Default) for transactions relating to defaulted counterparts. For most
liquid exposures classified at amortised cost, in each simulated scenario, the loss estimation related to their simulated creditworthiness deterioration
is added to the total loss related to the counterparts simulated in default.
The Expected Loss (“EL”) at portfolio level represents the average loss of the portfolio due to potential defaults of the obligors. The EL of the
portfolio corresponds to the sum of single obligors, which can be evaluated as the product of PD, LGD and EAD, and is independent from the default
correlations in the portfolio. EL is typically charged as a cost component.
The Value at Risk (“VaR”) represents the monetary threshold which is overcome only with a given probability level (a 99.9% confidence level VaR
implies that the loss threshold is exceeded in 1 case out of 1,000). Economic Capital is derived from Value at Risk subtracting the Expected Loss
and is an input for determining Internal Capital set up to cover potential losses from all the sources of risk.
The Expected Shortfall (“ES”) represents the expected value of losses that exceed the VaR. Portfolio Credit VaR and ES depend significantly on the
correlations among the defaults and can be reduced by portfolio diversification at sector and country level, limiting the concentration of each
counterpart.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 281
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The measures of Economic Capital based on Credit VaR are also a fundamental input for the design and application of credit strategies, the analysis
of credit limits and risk concentration. The Economic Capital calculation engine is also one of the instruments used for the analysis of stress testing
of the credit portfolio.
All the above-mentioned risk parameters are subject to an initial validation and a regular monitoring process for each rating system in all its
components: models, processes, IT architecture and data quality. The aim is to give evidence of the systems compliance, highlighting improvement
areas as well as possible misalignments in the methodologies, which could limit the full comparability among the resulting risk measures.
The internal Credit VaR model is also subject to assessment in the context of Basel Pillar II validation.
The calculation of the credit economic capital is available on a single technological platform (Group Credit Portfolio Model, GCPM), with a shared
methodology for the structures of UniCredit S.p.A. and the main entities of the Group.
In order to assess the credit risk transfer created by securitisation transactions originated by the Group, an engine (Structured Credit Analyser) has
also been developed, which simulates the loss distribution of the securitised portfolio and of the tranches, both for synthetic securitisations (in which
the risk is transferred through guarantees/credit derivatives) and for traditional ones (where the assets are sold to a special purpose vehicle).
In order to determine capital requirements for credit and operational risks, UniCredit group uses the IRB Advanced approach, as stated by Banca
d’Italia act No.365138 dated 28 March 2008.
With reference to credit risk, the Group has been authorised to use internal estimations of PD, LGD and EAD parameters for Group wide credit
portfolios (Sovereign, Banks, Multinationals and Global Project Finance) and for local credit portfolios of relevant subsidiaries (corporate and retail).
With reference to Italian mid-corporate and small business portfolios, regulatory EAD parameters are currently used.
These methodologies have been adopted by UniCredit S.p.A. (UCI), UniCredit Bank AG (UCB AG) and UniCredit Bank Austria AG (UCBA AG).
According to the Roll-out plan, providing a progressive extension of the IRB rating system, approved by the Group and shared with the Supervisory
Authorities, these methods have been extended starting from 2008 to other Legal entities currently named, UniCredit Leasing GMBH and
Subsidiaries, UniCredit Banka Slovenija dd, UniCredit Bulbank AD, UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s., UniCredit Bank Ireland plc.,
UniCredit Bank Hungary, UniCredit Bank Romania a.s. and AO UniCredit Bank in Russia.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
With reference to the strategies of credit risk management, the use of Credit Risk Stress Test is considered of particular importance because its aim
is to analyse the portfolio vulnerability in case of an economic downturn or a structural change of the macroeconomic framework. In performing the
stress test exercise, different scenarios are considered, based on increasing levels of severity. In addition, scenarios may also be defined based on
specific economic hypotheses.
The credit stress test models (or satellite models) are set of models aimed at translating the macro-economic conditions into credit risk parameters
(PD/LGD). Within the wider stress testing framework, the models serve as basis for calculating the stressed PD/LGD projections under the Adverse
Scenarios. They are used in the same way for the estimation of Forward Looking component within the IFRS9 framework.
As regards the modelling methodology, the current framework envisages to estimate, at cluster level (Country/Asset Class) through time series
and/or panel regressive analysis, the relationships between the macro-economic factors and the internal default/recovery rate historically observed.
However, with regard to the low default portfolios (e.g. Multinational, Banks, Sovereigns), for which no enough defaults events are available,
alternative approaches are considered. These imply to leverage either on external data (i.e. external rating) or stressing directly the input of Group
Wide Rating System (i.e. Sovereign Rating System).
Model’s output in terms of expected variations of PD/LGD conditional to the macro-economic scenarios are then used in order to obtain stressed
PD/LGD of each credit exposure. Starting from the stressed PD/LGD the Pillar I Credit Risk metrics (LLP and RWA) are calculated through
dedicated simulation engine and according to the EBA Stress test methodology. While Pillar II stress metrics (EC and AFR) are calculated according
to the following methodology:
• Credit Economic Capital: stressed PDs and LGDs are used as a basis to recalculate the Credit Economic Capital using the GCPM. The result
represents the Credit Economic Capital that would be obtained in the current bank portfolio if the stressed scenario is experienced.
• AFR: the amount stemming from the difference between the Stressed Expected Loss (calculated based on PD-TTC and LGD-TTC) and the actual
Expected losses is deducted from AFR.
2.3 Measurement methods for expected losses
Risk management practices
The Credit Risk Management, Measurement and Control processes described in the previous paragraph, are also reference for the calculation of
impairment of Loans and debt securities classified as financial assets at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income and relevant off-balance sheet exposures as required by IFRS9.
For this purpose, the calculation of impairment in accordance with expected credit losses is based on two main pillars:
• the Stage allocation of the credit exposures
• the associated calculation of expected credit loss.
In UniCredit group the Stage Allocation is based on a combination of relative and absolute elements; the main are:
• comparison for each transaction between PD as measured at the time of origination and PD as at the reporting date, both calculated according to
internal models, through thresholds set in such a way as to consider all key variables of each transaction that can affect the bank's expectation of
PD changes over time (e.g. age, maturity, PD level at the time of origination);
• absolute elements such as the backstops required by law (e.g. 30 days past-due). In this case UniCredit group has chosen not to reject the
significant deterioration presumption after 30 days past-due by allocating always in Stage 2 transactions with more than 30 days past due;
• additional internal evidence, including renegotiations of financial instruments due to financial difficulties met by the counterparty (e.g. Forborne
classification).
Regarding debt securities, UniCredit group is opting for application of the low credit risk exemption on investment grade securities, in full compliance
with the accounting standard.
The outcome of the Stage allocation is the classification of credit exposure in Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3 according to their absolute or relative
credit quality with respect to the initial disbursement. Specifically:
• the Stage 1 includes:
- newly issued or acquired credit exposures;
- exposures for which credit risk has not significantly deteriorated since initial recognition;
- exposures having low credit risk (low credit risk exemption);
• the Stage 2 includes credit exposures that, although performing, have seen their credit risk significantly deteriorating since initial recognition;
• the Stage 3 includes impaired credit exposures. With reference to Stage 3, it should be noted that it includes impaired exposures corresponding in
accordance with Banca d’Italia rules, defined in Circular No.272 of 30 July 2008 and subsequent updates, to the aggregate Non-Performing
Exposures as ITS EBA (EBA/ITS/2013/03/rev1 24 July 2014).
284 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In particular, EBA32 has defined as “Non-Performing” exposures that meet one or both of the following criteria:
• material exposures more than 90 days past due;
• exposures for which the bank assesses that is unlikely that the debtor would pay in full his credit obligations without recurring to enforcement and
realisation of collaterals, regardless of past due exposures and the number of days the exposure is past due.
With reference to the quantitative component of the stage allocation model, the Group has adopted a statistic approach based on a quantile
regression whose goal is to define a threshold in in terms of maximum variation acceptable between the PD measure at the disbursement and the
one at the reference date.
Fundamental part of the model is the definition of the quantile which identifies the Stage 2 quota expected on average in the long-time horizon. The
medium long-term quantile is determined based on the average expectation of portfolio deterioration calculated considering the default rate as well
as one of the other deterioration stages of deterioration (e.g.: past-due 30 days).
The exposures amount classified in Stage 2 for each reporting date will fluctuate around the long-term quantile on the basis of the current economic
conditions as well as expectations about the future economic cycle, with potentially wider fluctuations in case macroeconomic information is
specialised by industry.
Stage Allocation model is tested at each reporting date, to timely capture both significant deterioration and its reverse in a symmetric way and to
correctly allocate each transaction within the proper stage and related expected loss calculation model.
The result of the stage allocation affects the amount of expected credit losses recognised in financial statements. Indeed, for exposures in Stage 1,
impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon of up to one year.
For exposures in Stages 2 or 3, impairment is equal to the expected loss calculated over a time horizon corresponding to the entire life of the
exposure.
To calculate expected loss, the Group has developed specific models based on PD, LGD and EAD parameters and the effective interest rate. In
particular:
• PD (Probability of Default), which expresses the exposure probability of default in a given time horizon (e.g.: 1 year);
• LGD (Loss Given Default), which expresses the estimated loss percentage and therefore the expected recovery rate when a default event occurs;
• EAD (Exposure at Default), expresses the level of the exposure at the time of default event;
• the effective interest rate is the base rate which expresses the time value of money.
Such parameters are calculated starting from the same parameters applied for regulatory purposes specifically adjusted in order to guarantee full
consistency, a part of the different requirements, between accounting and regulatory treatment.
Main adjustments are aimed at:
• removing the conservativism required purely for regulatory purposes;
• introducing “point in time” adjustments substituting the “through-the-cycle” view required by the regulation;
• including “forward looking” information;
• extending credit risks parameters to a multi years horizon.
With reference to “lifetime” PD, PD curves calculated through-the-cycle are calibrated to reflect the point-in-time and forward-looking expectation
with reference to the portfolio default rate.
The recovery rate embedded in the LGD calculated along the economic cycle ("through-the-cycle") is adjusted in order to remove the margin of
conservatism and reflect the current trends in recovery rates as well as expectations about future trends discounted to the effective interest rate or
its best approximation.
The EAD calculated along the instrument lifetime is determined by extending the prudential or managerial one-year model, removing the margin of
conservatism and including expectations related to future average withdrawal levels of existing credit lines.
The forecast in terms of default rate and recovery rate, determined through models that estimate a relationship between these variables and
macroeconomic indicators, are embedded in the PD and LGD parameters during the calibration phase. The credit parameters, in fact, are normally
calibrated on a horizon that considers the entire economic cycle (“Through-the-cycle - TTC"), so it is necessary to calibrate them "Point-in-time - PIT"
and "Forward-looking - FL" allowing to reflect in these credit parameters the current situation as well as expectations about the future evolution of
the economic cycle.
32 The regulatory framework for the new definition of default will be integrated with the entry into force of the "Guidelines on the application of the definition of default under article 178 of EU Regulation No.575/2013
"(EBA/GL/2016/07) as at 1 January 2021.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The expected credit loss deriving from the parameters previously described considers macroeconomic forecasts through the application of multiple
scenarios to the forward looking components in order to compensate the partial non-linearity that is naturally embedded in the correlation between
the macroeconomic changes and expected credit loss. Specifically, the non-linearity effect is incorporated by estimating a correction factor applied
directly to the expected credit loss ("ECL") of the portfolio.
The process defined to include multiple macroeconomic scenarios is fully consistent with forecast processes used by UniCredit group for additional
risk management purposes (for example processes adopted to calculate expected credit losses from macroeconomic forecasts based on EBA
stress test and ICAAP Framework). Similarly, to other processes (ICAAP) the scenarios are provided by the independent function of UniCredit
Research function.
Specifically, the Group has selected three macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking component of expected losses: a baseline
scenario, an improved scenario (“positive scenario”) with respect to baseline and a worsened scenario (“negative Scenario”) with respect to
baseline.
The baseline scenario is the reference central scenario and therefore is considered to be the most probable realization. Positive and negative
scenarios represent possible alternative realizations, respectively a better and a worst one compared to the baseline in terms of evolution of the
economies of the countries in which the Group operates.
For a description of main assumptions behind “base” and “downturn” scenarios and related probability realization, refer to Part A - Accounting
policies, A.1 General, Section 2 - General preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
In order to cope with the extraordinary contingency of Covid-19 and the peculiar dynamic of a deflated default risk observed in the course of 2020 as
a consequence of supporting measures and a potential cliff-effect in 2021 when the measures will expire, an upward corrective factor has been
applied on both the 2020 default rate and the 2021 forecast underlying the updated calibration of IFRS models for the 31 December 2020 figures
and likely postponement of part of default risk in 2021.
The measure is aimed at keeping a sound provisioning as recommended also by European Central Bank in the Letter to CEOs of significant
institution as of 4 December 2020 and along the line of what applied since 31 March 2020 financial reporting.
An estimation of the IFRS9 Expected Credit Loss to change in macroeconomic scenarios has been made, the ECL under the two IFRS9 alternative
scenarios (positive and negative) have been estimated and compared with the ECL baseline:
a) in the positive scenario the ECL at Group level has been estimated to decrease of about 8% equivalent to around €460 million (12% and €250
million for UniCredit S.p.A. stand-alone);
b) in the negative scenario the ECL at Group level has been estimated to increase of about 9% equivalent to around €520 million (13% and €280
million for UniCredit S.p.A. stand-alone).
Moreover, a sensitivity to GDP variations embedded in the different scenarios have been also estimated as ratio between:
• the difference of ECL observed under the alternative scenarios compared to the ECL baseline;
• the GDP points deviations (on 3 years cumulative basis) between alternative and baseline scenarios respectively.
Implied assumptions are:
• GDP forecast (over 3 years) is assumed to be the most relevant economic factor as indicator of scenario severity;
• for each Legal Entity the GDP of the reference country is considered for the calculation of the respective sensitivity (e.g. for UniCredit S.p.A. the
Italian GDP was considered, for UniCredit Bank AG the German GDP, etc.).
The results considering the current IFRS9 scenarios and portfolio are:
• for 1 point of GDP rise (cumulated over 3 Years) the ECL at Group level is estimated to decrease of 2% (3% for UniCredit S.p.A.);
• for 1 point of GDP drop (cumulated over 3 years) the ECL at Group level is estimated to increase of 3% (5% for UniCredit S.p.A.).
With reference to impaired exposures (Stage 3) the expected recoverable amount, and therefore the expected credit loss, is the present value of
future cash flows expected to be recovered, discounted at the original interest rate.
Therefore the main determinants of this value are:
• the expected cash flows;
• the expected timing of payments of these cash flows;
• the effective interest rate used for discounting.
Expected cash flows on defaulted exposures shall be calculated on an individual basis for “individually significant exposures”.
Expected cash flows on already defaulted exposures that are not individually significant may be calculated either on an individual or a collective
basis. Where a legal entity has a number of individually significant exposures towards one single counterparty, each loan is individually assessed
while also considering the overall position of the counterparty.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Future cash flows must be estimated considering the historical trend of recovery for exposures having similar credit risk features. The historical trend
in any case is adjusted so to embeds the current economic environment and the expected economic outlooks.
In the assessment of impaired exposures (Stage 3), possible sales scenarios are also considered where the Group's NPE strategy envisages
experiencing recovery through their sale to the market.
For this purpose, the presumed recovery value of credit exposures classified as Bad Loans and Unlikely to Pay is determined as weighted average
between two scenarios:
• internal recovery scenario, whose expected recovery value is estimated assuming an internal work-out process according to what has previously
been described;
• sale scenario, whose expected recovery value is estimated assuming the sale of the exposures on the market. The expected sale price is
determined considering market or internal information based on the following hierarchy:
- prices deriving from past sales of impaired loans with homogeneous characteristics with those evaluated;
- prices observable on the market for impaired loans with homogeneous characteristics with those evaluated;
- internal evaluation models.
Changes due to Covid-19 - Assessment of the Significant Increase of the Credit Risk (SICR)
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, specific initiatives have been put in place in order to ensure a proper assessment of the Significant
Increase of the Credit Risk. Indeed, Covid-19 crisis cannot be considered a normal recession driven by business cycle dynamics as the
macroeconomic shock is completely exogenous (i.e. lockdown) and may trigger asymmetric medium-term effects across different industry sectors.
In order to cope with this particular contingent situation, two measures have been adopted:
1. adoption of a specific approach for the adjustment of the IFRS metrics;
2. management of the Payment Moratoria.
With reference to point sub.1, a methodological approach has been designed for the Italian perimeter, thus covering UniCredit S.p.A., UniCredit
Factoring S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., with the aim to correct the IFRS Probability of Default according to the expected increase in credit
risk due to the specificity of the Industry. More in details, starting from the forward-looking default rates resulting from the adoption of UniCredit
Research Baseline Scenario for the period 2021-2023, a breakdown by economic sector was carried out in order to identify the areas most affected
by the pandemic (this activity was also conducted with the support of a leading specialist company outside the Group). The IFRS Probability of
Default parameter has therefore been adjusted upwards (downwards), considering the year-on-year deviation of the sector default rate from the
average value for the entire economy. This adjustment also generated a potential classification of the related exposures in Stage 2, based on
comparison with the Probability of Default at the time of disbursement.
In the other Group legal entities, outside Italy, dedicated analyses have been done leveraging on Industry-specific Risk Indexes provided by the
same external advisor, also taking into account forward-looking information related to the the country of reference. In particular, analyses have been
conducted for UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria AG, UniCredit Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s., AO UniCredit Bank (Russia), UniCredit
Romania S.A. and Zagrebacka Banka d.d. According to the outcome of such analysis, loan loss provisions adjustments have been recognised as
well as the potential classification into Stage 2.
With reference to point sub.2, UniCredit has deemed necessary to strengthen the Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) assessment on
customers.
In this context it was observed that default risk in year 2020 was mitigated as a consequence of government support schemes (including payment
moratoria). As a result, methodological measures have been introduced to correct, through internal benchmark analyses, the credit variables used to
calculate impairment losses (the default rate), in order to introduce into the calibration of these variables the worsening of the pandemic situation in
the last quarter 2020 and the expected increase in the default risk in 2021 when protection schemes will expire.
Such upwards measures deploy their effects not only on the Expected Credit Loses estimation but also on the Staging allocation given the punctual
effect on the IFRS PD at the reporting date, limiting the potential down-lift effect, the revert to Stage 1 bucket and avoiding to neglect potential asset
deterioration for the portfolio currently benefiting from support of moratoria or other protection schemes.
Furthermore, in Italy, with reference to Corporate, Small Business and Leasing, the SICR assessment leveraged on some initiative based on:
• Financial distress indicators, by monitoring balance sheet and some rating indicators;
• Industry/Sector forward looking view, also leveraging on input from external provider based on the forward-looking effects of Covid-19 virus.
By crossing the financial distress indicators with the Industry/Sector view, a matrix has been set-up which makes it possible to group counterparties
on the basis of the above-mentioned dimensions. Therefore, counterparties belonging to the riskiest sections of this matrix have been classified as
Stage 2 since a significant worsening of credit risk has been assessed for them.
Finally, for Mortgages and Consumer loans under moratoria (excluding those granted to public sector and retired persons) classified under Stage 1
and, with specific reference to Mortgage, having higher probability of default have been migrated to Stage 2.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 287
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Also in some other Group legal entities, portfolio clustering approaches for clients assessment, mainly based on industry riskiness as a
consequence of Covid-19 outbreak, have been put in place, leading to Stage 2 classification of part of the portfolio assessed. In particular in
Germany and Austria customers belonging to certain industries and with rating higher than a specific threshold have been moved to Stage 2.
Beside the additional Staging measures put in place to cope with the extraordinary Covid-19 contingency, the usual IFRS ordinary framework
remains up and running without any kind of relaxation of the existing qualitative staging criteria. Particularly: (i) forbearance classification (potentially
relevant for moratoria not compliant with EBA Guidelines) and 30 days past due trigger are always considered Stage 2 qualitative classification
events within UniCredit IFRS Framework; (ii) additional qualitative events for Stage 2 classification (e.g. certain kinds of credit monitoring watchlist
classifications) are considered in UniCredit group IFRS Framework and applied by Legal Entities. Similarly, to the qualitative criteria for staging, also
for the quantitative ones based on internal thresholds set according to the IFRS9 methodologies in place since FTA have been kept up-and-running
without any kind of relaxations.
The aforementioned initiatives strongly contributed to the 2020 migration from Stage 1 to Stage 2. Comparing 31 December 2019, the Stage 2 gross
exposure as at 31 December 2020 is about €37.7 billion higher (of which €19.0 billion at UniCredit S.p.A).
The assessment of the increase in credit risk has led to the classification in Stage 2 and the consequent recognition of impairment losses for €415
million (of which €274 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Furthermore a monthly based monitoring has been set up in order to check the trend of the rating migrations for the part of the portfolios affected by
moratoria, foreseeing, in case of upgrading due to the effect of the payment suspensions on the behavioral component of the rating systems, the
adoption of conservative adjustment on the PD, deploying the consequent effect on Expected Credit Loss and Significant Increase in Credit Risk.
New Definition of Default
The new definition of default, is applied starting from the first quarter 2021, in line with the deadline for the entry in force (1 January 2021), set out by
European Banking Authority in the related Guidelines for Banks adopting Internal Rating Based Approaches. The new classification criteria will
envisage as main changes the review of the materiality thresholds of past due and a further articulated structures of Unlikely-To-Pay triggers (it is
worth mentioning the one related to the Distressed Restructuring for forborne exposures, where a maximum threshold for diminished Net Present
Value of 1% has been set), including additional requirements on default contagions effects in case of connected clients (primarily, Group of
companies, joint credit obligations among individuals and link among natural persons and unlimited liability companies). Furthermore, a minimum
probation period before returning in a non-defaulted status has been set as mandatory.
In consideration of the application of the new definition of default starting from 1 January 2021, which envisages, as mentioned above, more
stringent criteria for the classification of counterparties, the Group is therefore aware, as from the fourth quarter of 2020, of the information elements
arising from such rule and related to the measurement of riskiness of its portfolio.
Therefore, also in consideration of the provisions of IFRS9 (related to the expected downgrade of the debtor), the Group decided to recognise
impairment losses consistent with this information, for an amount of €535 million (of which €366 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A).
This effect also includes the recalculation of the estimate of the expected loss. In fact, it should be noted that the deterioration of credit risk deriving
from an expected downgrade of a debtor not only leads to an increase in the provisions for credit losses of that individual debtor, but also of all those
debtors that share common credit risk characteristics.
Considering that the classification of the counterparty among impaired exposures can only take place as from the adoption of the rule (January
2021), the impairment losses related to the expected worsening of counterparties have been allocated by homogeneous sub-portfolios sharing
common credit risk characteristics and identified as the ones having higher likelihood of occurrence of new default events.
If the new classification criteria had been adopted, the ratio of credit impaired exposures (gross book value) to total loans to customers (at notional
amount) of the UniCredit group, which at 31 December 2020 stood at 4.5% (5.3% the ratio of UniCredit S.p.A.), would have been higher than the
ratio reported (approximately 4.8% and 5.8% referring to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Exceptions to the approach described above are the jurisdictions of Croatia and Bosnia where, in light of the request from the respective local
National Competent Authorities, the new definition of default was applied as early as 31 December 2020.

2.4 Credit risk mitigation techniques
UniCredit group uses various credit risk mitigation techniques to reduce potential credit losses in case of the obligor default. Consistent with the
“Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and
investment firms (CRR)”, UniCredit group is firmly committed to satisfy the requirements for recognition of credit risk mitigation techniques,
according to the different approaches adopted (Standardised, Foundation IRB or Advanced IRB), both for internal use in operations and for
regulatory capital purposes as necessary for the calculation of credit risk capital requirement.
At the moment specific Group guidelines are in force, issued by the Parent Company, defining group-wide rules and principles with the aim to guide,
govern and standardise the credit risk mitigation management, best practice, as well as in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements.
Integrating these guidelines, all legal entities have adopted internal regulations, specifying processes, strategies, and procedures for collateral
management. In particular, such internal regulations detail, according to each Country's local legal system, collateral eligibility, acquisition, valuation
and monitoring rules and ensure, among others, the soundness, legal enforceability and timely liquidation of valuable collateral.
Collateral management assessments and credit risk mitigation compliance verification have been performed by the Group’s legal entities,
specifically as part of Internal Rating System applications, in order to assess the presence of adequate documentation and procedure concerning
the credit risk mitigation instruments used for supervisory capital.
According to the current credit policy, collaterals or guarantees can be accepted to support loans but cannot serve as a substitute for the borrower’s
ability to meet its obligations. For this reason, in addition to the overall analysis of the borrowers’ credit worthiness and of his repayment capacity,
collaterals are subject to specific evaluation and analysis with the aim to verify their viability to support the repayment of the exposure.
Collaterals accepted in support of credit lines granted by the Group’s legal entities, primarily include:
• real estate, both residential and commercial;
• financial collateral (including cash deposits, debt securities, equities, and units of Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities
(UCITS).
Other types of collateral (pledged goods or pledged loans and life insurance policies) are less common.
UniCredit group also makes use, between funded credit protection, of bilateral netting agreements regarding OTC derivatives (by means of ISDA
and CSA agreements), Repos and securities lending transactions where the counterparties are, generally, Financial Institutions.
Moreover, can be considered as eligible netting agreements of reciprocal credit exposures between the Bank and its counterparty if they are legally
effective and enforceable in all relevant jurisdictions, including in the event of default or bankruptcy of counterparty, and if they meet the following
operational conditions:
• provide for the netting of gains and losses on transactions cleared under the master agreement;
• fulfil the minimum requirements for recognition of financial collateral (valuation requirements and monitoring).
Group legal entities can apply netting agreements only if they are able at any time to determine the position netting value (assets and liabilities with
the same counterparty that are subject to the netting agreement), monitoring and controlling debts, credit and netting value.
In relation to guarantees, their use is widespread within UniCredit group, though their characteristics differ among the different local markets; they
can be accepted as complementary and accessory to the granting of loans, for which the risk mitigation serves as additional security for repayment.
At consolidated level, personal guarantees are provided by banks, government, central banks and other public entities and others. The last category
includes the personal guarantees provided by natural persons, whose eligibility for CRM depends on the approach used by the different legal
entities.
In case the guarantee is represented by credit derivatives, the protection providers are mainly banks and institutional counterparties.
As already highlighted, the list of eligible protection providers depends on the specific approach adopted by each single legal entity. Specifically:
• under the standardised approach, eligible protection providers pertain to a restricted list of counterparts, such as central government and central
banks, public sector entities and regional and local authorities, multilateral development banks, supervised institutions and corporate entities that
have a credit assessment by an eligible ECAI;
• under IRB-A approach, for the recognition of guarantees in the calculation of capital requirements, in addition to verify that the relevant minimum
requirements are satisfied, the legal entity can evaluate the protection provider risk profile, through an internal rating system, at the time the
guarantee is provided and over its entire duration.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The management system of credit risk mitigation techniques is embedded in the credit approval process and in the credit risk monitoring process, to
support the evaluation and data quality checks of collaterals/guarantees and their appropriate linking to the categories defined for LGD estimates
purposes. Controls and related responsibilities are duly formalised and documented in internal rules. Furthermore, processes are implemented to
control that all the relevant information regarding the identification and evaluation of the credit protection are correctly registered in the system.
In the collateral acquisition phase, UniCredit group emphasises the importance of processes and controls of the legal certainty requirements of the
protection, as well as the assessment of the suitability of the collateral or guarantee. In case of personal guarantees, the protection provider (or the
protection seller in case of credit default swap) has to be assessed in order to measure his/her credit worthiness and risk profile.
Monitoring processes of credit risk mitigation techniques ensure that general and specific requirements set by credit policies, internal and regulatory
rules are met over the time.
Among such processes it is pointed out that one connected to concentration risk, which occurs when the major part of Group-wide collateral financial
assets (at portfolio level) are concentrated in a small number of collateral types, protection instruments, or specific providers of collaterals.
Such concentration is monitored and controlled by the following processes/mechanisms:
• in case of personal guarantees/credit derivatives, a contingent liability (indirect risk) is charged to the protection provider. In the evaluation of the
credit application, a secondary commitment is added to the guarantor and it is reflected in the guarantor’s total credit exposure as deemed
competent and approved in accordance with the bank’s system of authority;
• in case the protection provider, directly or indirectly, is a Central Bank or a Sovereign country, a specific credit limit has to be instructed; if the
guarantor is a foreign subject, it is necessary to evaluate case by case the definition of a country limit.
3. Non-performing credit exposures
3.1 Management strategies and policies
In order to ensure a homogeneous approach in the classification of credit exposures for regulatory and reporting purposes, UniCredit has defined
guidelines at Group level for the classification of non-performing exposures that refer to the principles reported in the Implementing Technical
Standards issued by the Authority European Banking in 2014. With regard to this definition (which includes the concept of "default" ruled by Art.178
EU Regulation No.575/2013 and the "impaired" definition reported in accounting standard IFRS9) at operational level UniCredit group has pursued a
substantial alignment between the three definitions. Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Banca d’Italia in Circular 272/2008, credit
exposures of each Group entity must be classified in one of the following risk classes:
• past-due and/or overdue exposures: problematic exposures that are more than 90 days past due on any material obligation (the latter assessed in
line with article 178 (2d) of EU Regulation No.575/2013 and the Technical Standards of the EBA);
• unlikely to pay: the classification in this category is the result of the judgment of the bank about the unlikeliness, without recourse to actions such
as realising collaterals, that the obligor will pay in full (principal and/or interest) its credit obligations. This assessment should be carried out
independently of the presence of any (or rate) past due and unpaid amount;
• bad loans: exposures to borrowers in a state of insolvency (even when not recognised in a court of law) or in an essentially similar situation,
regardless of any loss forecasts made by the bank.
According to the Group rules, all debtors in the bank's portfolio must be mapped in the classes defined by Banca d’Italia, regardless of local
reporting which has to be performed according to local accounting standards and/or local supervisory regulations or instructions.
These classification rules are further integrated by accounting principles defined in IFRS9, according to which credit exposures must be allocated in
three "stages" (for details see section "Expected loss measurement method” - Section 2). With regard to non-performing exposures, the allocation to
"Stage 3" occurs when the customer's status changes into "non-performing". This is a classification at counterparty level and not at transaction level
based on specific regulations on the classification of non-performing exposures.
In accordance with Art.156 EBA ITS, an exposure must remain classified as non-performing33 as long as the following criteria (exit criteria) are not
met simultaneously:
• the situation of the debtor has improved to the extent that full repayment of the original due amount is likely to be made;
• the debtor does not have any amount past-due by more than 90 days.
33The regulatory framework for the transition from performing to non-performing exposures ("criteria for a return to a non-defaulted status ") will be integrated with the entry into force of the "Guidelines on the application of
the definition of default under Art.178 of EU Regulation No.575/2013 "(EBA/GL/2016/07) as of 1 January 2021.
290 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Specific exit criteria must be applied in case the forbearance measures are extended to non-performing exposures, listed below:
• the starting date of the observation period of one year is the latest between the adoption of Forbearance measures and the classification as non-
performing;
• any past due amount is verified if no past due occurs at debtor level;
• concerns regarding the “full repayment" refer to a judgmental evaluation by the empowered Bodies.
In the non-performing credit exposures management, UniCredit group adopts certain strategies that operationally define the activities necessary to
achieve the targets defined yearly.
The aforementioned strategies concerning impaired loans include:
• an effective internal restructuring activity, supported by qualified resources with specific skills dedicated to the management of loans classified as
unlikely to pay; within these activities, ad-hoc approaches are then envisaged for positions considered strategic or referring to the Corporate and
Real Estate segment;
• proactive portfolio management through judicial and extra-judicial procedures managed by internal Workout professionals or assigned to external
agencies specialised in credit recovery;
• the recourse of alternative recovery strategies (which UniCredit was one of the first banks to use) based on formalised partnerships aimed at
managing positions in the industrial or Real Estate sector;
• proactive management of the Leasing portfolio aimed at speeding up the negotiation times of agreements with counterparties in order to obtain a
more effective remarketing process;
• disposal of impaired loans as further strategy for internal recovery both for individual positions and for portfolios of impaired loans, already
classified as bad loans and unlikely to pay.
These strategies reflect the main levers for reducing the amount of impaired loans and have led to an important result during 2020, highlighting:
• write-off for €2,436 million (124% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year);
• recoveries of €3,350 million (111% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year);
• total non-performing loans sold for €5,640 million (159% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year).
The decrease amount of the stock of impaired loans to Group customers was therefore in line with the reduction targets set in Team 23, achieving
an improvement in asset quality. This result was possible thanks also to the reduction of the "Non Core" portfolio, for which, UniCredit group can
confirm the complete closure of its Non Core legacy by 2021, thanks to the activation of a coordinated set of levers aimed at reducing the stock.
A successful NPE Strategy execution requires effective interaction between the Group Risk Management structure and the functions dedicated to
the management of non-performing exposures directly reporting the local CLOs of the Legal Entities. More specifically, within Group Risk
Management, the Group NPE structure was set-up in order to ensure on the one hand an adequate control over the execution and monitoring of the
NPE Strategy (which includes the sale of non-performing loans through "Group Distressed Asset Solutions" and the proactive management of the
collateral for the properties acquired through "Group Repossessed Assets") and, on the other hand, an effective cooperation thanks to the joint work
carried out with the other Group Risk Management functions.
In the all legal entities dedicated functions to the management of non-performing exposures are in place; they cover all the phases of the NPEs life
cycle, take into account local regulations and the specific characteristics of portfolios, monitor and manage the amount of NPEs coherently with both
European Central Bank Guidelines and Group organisational model.
The structures dedicated to the operational management of non-performing exposures are therefore tailored to each state of the life cycle of non-
performing loans, starting from a careful monitoring of the performing portfolio, up to the recovery activity that includes the disposal of credit or the
“repossession” of the collateral.
In particular, the monitoring activity is aimed at preventing flows to default and reducing the amount of past due exposures by detecting signals of
risk of deterioration and early warning, as well as identifying the needed corrective measures to manage the potential deterioration of exposures
starting from the early signs of worsening of the counterparties’ credit quality.
Soft collection, door-to-door and re-management activities which pertains both performing (though already overdue) counterparties and already
defaulted clients are carried out through the use of multiple channels, also using outsourcing solutions to third-party companies (in particular for
door-to-door recovery activities). These activities also aim at preventing flows to default and facilitating the back-to-performing classification (main
focus), thus contributing to a reduction of the overall amount of non-performing exposures.
In some legal entities the aforementioned activities can be managed within either the Monitoring, or Restructuring or Workout units; with reference to
UniCredit S.p.A. these responsibilities are allocated to the Special Credit unit within which an ad hoc department was created (i.e. Customer
Recovery) exclusively dedicated to soft collection and re-management for retail portfolio.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
As part of the overall management of deteriorated exposures, the Restructuring activity is aimed at mitigating the risk of insolvency and the quality of
exposures with restructuring agreements and company reorganisation plans as well as reducing the amount of unlikely to pay with recoveries and
performing re-classification, by means of forbearance measures. Specifically, among the strategies for managing unlikely to pay loans to corporate
counterparties, there are also restructuring platforms (up to now limited to the Italian market), the disposal of individual exposures and extraordinary
finance transactions.
The coordination and implementation of recovery strategy on positions classified as bad loans fall instead within the responsibility of the "Workout"
unit, whose reporting structures identify the optimal strategies for maximising recoveries, including the timely enforcement of collaterals. In some
Group legal entity the activity is also implemented by leveraging on service agreements with external agencies.
As pertains the disposal activities, these refer to the organisation, management and execution of sales processes (both credit portfolios and
individual positions), through the application of a transparent and competitive methodology based on market criteria. At Group level, these activities
are performed by a dedicated department within UniCredit S.p.A. (Group Distressed Asset Solutions), which evaluates various disposal options
alternatives, in cooperation with the legal entity’s peer function where deemed necessary to handle specific local cases.
The proactive management of real estate guarantees is coordinated at Parent Company level by a dedicated department (Group Repossessed
Assets), which oversees the strategy of repossession of the collateral and the specific activities carried out within the Group, particularly in those
entities specialised in the acquisition of collateral (for example the UCTAM company). The aforementioned function also oversees the possible
creation of a "Real Estate Owned Company" (“ReoCo”) in Italy.
Beyond the operational responsibilities in the non-performing exposures management, from a governance and strategic coordination standpoint, the
Group NPE Governance Committee (“GNGC”) has been set up in order to ensure the effective steering, coordination and control of the
non-performing loans reduction plan, ensuring an effective alignment of the common objectives between the Parent Company and the various
Group legal entities, also through the involvement of both "Group Risk Management" and "Group Lending Officer" functions according to the
instructions of the Banca d’Italia (Circular No.272/2008 and subsequent updates).
As clarified above, UniCredit has defined group-wide guidelines in order to ensure the full alignment between the Default, Impaired and NPE
definitions, in order to have a homogeneous approach on the loan categorisation practices for supervisory and reporting purposes , adopting the
Default definition as the basis for the provisions calculation.
To this aim the Group has defined a list of events directly qualifying the Unlikely to Pay status (Default events) and a list of triggers for the detection
to be assessed for the confirmation of the Unlikely to Pay status. In line with the guidelines provided by ECB the latter are differentiated among
trigger events “hard” and “soft”. The “hard” triggers imply that obligors are classified as Unlikely to Pay with little room of interpretation, as these
events very often, due to their nature, fulfill the definition of Unlikely to Pay. The “Soft” triggers shall be considered for the assessment of the
unlikeness to pay requirement of the obligor. In presence of one of these evidences, the capability of repayment has to be assessed.
3.2 Write-off
Group guidelines for write-offs on financial assets provides that whenever a loan is deemed to be uncollectable/unrecoverable it needs to be
identified at the earliest possible opportunity and properly dealt with in accordance with financial regulations. Write-offs can relate to a financial asset
in its entirety, or to a portion of it.
In assessing the recoverability of non-performing exposures (NPE) and in determining internal NPE write-off approaches, the following cases, in
particular, are taken into account:
• exposures with prolonged arrears: it is assessed the recoverability of an exposure that presents arrears for a prolonged period of time. If, following
this assessment, an exposure or part of an exposure is deemed as non-recoverable, it should be written-off in a timely manner, adopting different
thresholds predefined on the basis of the different portfolios;
• exposures under insolvency procedure: where the collateralization of the exposure is low, legal expenses often absorb a significant portion of the
proceeds from the bankruptcy procedure and therefore estimated recoveries are expected to be very low;
• a partial write-off may be warranted where there are reasonable elements to demonstrate the debtor's inability to repay the full amount of the debt,
i.e. a significant level of debt, even following the implementation of a forbearance treatment and/or the execution of collateral.
Below a non-exhaustive list of hard evidences implying, with high likelihood, the not recoverability of the exposure, to be assessed, for the potential
(total or partial) write-off:
• the Bank cannot call the guarantor(s), or his assets are not sufficient for the recovery of the debtor’s exposures;
• negative outcome of the judicial and/or out-of-court initiatives with absence of other assets that can be called in the event of un-recoverability of
the debtor’s exposures;
• impossibility to initiate actions to recover credit;
• current insolvency procedure, from which the procedure itself states that the unsecured exposures will not have redress;
• loans not backed by mortgage security older than 3 years that have not registered repayments/collections during the first 3 years after the NPE
classification.
292 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Specifically, for UniCredit group perimeter, Write-offs on financial assets still subject to an enforcement procedure amount to €11,428 million as of
31 December 2020, of which partial write-offs amount to €2,008 million and total write-offs amount to €9,420 million. The amount of write-offs (both
partial and total) related to the 2020 financial year is €1,541 million. 2020 write-offs cannot be compared with write-offs amount reported in gross
changes in non-performing exposures, because the latter includes “debt forgiveness”.
3.3 Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired (“POCI”) are credit exposures that are already impaired on initial recognition.
These credit exposures might be recognised either as a result of a purchase of non-performing exposures from third parties or as a result of the
restructuring of impaired exposures which has led to the provision of significant new finance, either in absolute terms or in relative terms, compared
with the amount of the original exposure.
These exposures are subject to management, measurement and control according to the principles described in the paragraph “2.2 Credit risk
management, measurement and control which is herewith quoted entirely” to the consolidated accounts of UniCredit group, notes to the
consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk,
Qualitative information, 2. Credit risk policies management.
In particular, the expected credit losses recorded at initial recognition within the carrying amount of the instrument are periodically reviewed on the
basis of the processes described in the previous paragraphs.
The expected credit loss calculated for these credit exposures is always determined considering their residual life, and such exposure are
conventionally allocated into Stage 3, or in Stage 2 if, as a result of an improvement in the creditworthiness of the counterparty following the initial
recognition, the assets are performing.
These assets are never classified under Stage 1 because the expected credit loss must always be calculated considering a time horizon equal to the
residual duration.
4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and forborne exposures
Changes in existing financial instruments which determine a modification of contractual conditions might be the result of either:
• commercial initiatives, which may be specific for each customer or applied to portfolio of customers also as a result of dedicated initiatives
sponsored by public authorities or banking associations;
• concessions granted in light of debtor’s financial difficulties (Forbearance).
Such changes are accounted on the basis of whether the modification is considered significant or not. In this regard, reference is made to the Part A
- Accounting policies, A.2 - Main items of the accounts.
The concessions granted due to debtor’s financial difficulties, so called Forbearance initiatives, are usually considered not significant from an
accounting perspective.
4.1 Loan categorisation in the risk categories and forborne exposures
In July 2014, the European Banking Authorities issued the “Implementing Technical Standards” (“ITS”) on non-performing and Forborne exposures,
with the aim to allow, a closer supervisory monitoring of banking forbearance practices. In line with the mentioned ITS, a transaction has to be
considered as forborne when both of the following conditions are simultaneously met:
• a concession in favour of the debtor exits, in the form of either (i) a contractual modification or (ii) refinancing aimed at ensuring the repayment of
pre-existing obligation;
• the debtor is facing or about to face financial difficulties.
To comply with EBA ITS, since 2015 UniCredit S.p.A. has worked on the definition of a common methodological framework for forbearance process,
issuing group’s guidelines on forbearance management and setting up a shared IT infrastructure (i.e. Forbearance engine). Specifically, the
Forbearance engine automatically performs, on the basis of a set of a pre-defined criteria, an assessment of the overall financial difficulty of the
client subject to a concession (Trouble Debt Test). In coherency with the overall solution, the different Group’s legal entities adopted some fine-
tunings to adapt the Group’s framework to the local IT tools and credit practices.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Starting from 2017, the regulatory framework relating to the management of Forborne exposures has been integrated with the following papers:
• “Guidance to Banks on Non-Performing Loans”, issued by European Central Bank in March 2017, which require to Banks to define a clear NPL
strategy aiming at the reduction of NPE Stock;
• “Guidelines on management of non-performing and forborne exposures”, issued by European Banking Authority in October 2018, which are
overall aligned with the ECB Guidance;
• “Guidelines on disclosure of non-performing and forborne exposures”, issued by European Banking Authority in December 2018, which is focused
on the disclosure templates to be used for Group’s supervisory reporting purposes.
In order to ensure ongoing alignment with the regulatory and supervisory requirements mentioned above regarding bank’s forbearance practices,
the Parent Company finalised the following activities:
• review of the list of the potential Forbearance measures to acknowledge: (i) with the split between short-term measures (duration less than 24
months) and long-term measures (duration higher than or equal to 24 months), (ii) with the possibility of granting combinations of short and long-
term FBE measures and (iii) with the “viability criteria” defined by Supervisory for each FBE measure;
• reinforcement of the affordability assessment of the client prior to the Forbearance concession taking care to the case of multiple forbearance
measures on the same exposure;
• collection and monitoring of the relevant information of the new Quarterly Template with disclosure on:
- performing and non-performing portfolio;
- guarantees;
- default inflows and outflows;
- list of the FBE Measures granted including the indication of their effectiveness.
With reference to the monitoring and reporting activity on forborne exposures, as at 31 December 2020 the number of instruments (loans and
advances at amortised cost) with forbearance measures amounts to 177,750 (127.090 for UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter).
Specifically, on a consolidated level:
• forbearance measures granted during the period represent 42% of the total (45% considering only UniCredit S.p.A.);
• forbearance measures granted on the performing portfolio represent the 56% of the total (similar data considering only UniCredit S.p.A.).
As regards the vintage of classification of forborne exposures, the information reported below pertain to loan and advances at amortised cost, as
financial assets at fair value and off-balance sheet exposures do not represent (out of the overall forborne portfolio) a materially significant
relevance.
More in details, at consolidated level, 71% of forborne performing exposures has a vintage of classification <= 24 months, in line with UniCredit
S.p.A. portfolio (66%). In terms of forborne non-performing loans, 60% of consolidated exposures fall within a classification vintage <=24 months
(48% for UniCredit S.p.A. portfolio).
In light of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the European Banking Authority issued the “Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan
repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis issued34” providing specific indications to the banks on the regulatory treatment of the
legislative moratoria and banking initiatives in terms of Forbearance Classification; for details refer to the paragraph General Aspects - Section 2.1.
Credit Risk.
In addition, regarding the assessment of the Significant Increase of the Credit Risk. in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, pelase refer to the
paragraph Measurement methods for expected losses - Section 2.1. Credit Risk.
34 EBA Guidelines - on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis issued on 2 April 2020 (“EBA/GL/2020/02”).

The table details on- and off-balance sheet credits granted to counterparties rated by external rating agencies, which provide brief assessments of
the creditworthiness of different classes of borrowers such as Sovereigns, Banks, Public-Sector Entities, Insurance Companies and (usually large)
Enterprises.
The table refers to classification of Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005 of Banca d’Italia (and subsequent amendments); then it provides, for
external ratings, 6 classes of creditworthiness.
Rating Agencies utilised to fill the table are: Moody’s, S&Ps and Fitch.
Where more than one agency rating is available, the most prudential rating is assigned.
Here below the mapping between the external rating classes and the ECAI’s rating used.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Unrated exposures, i.e. those with no external rating, were 68.8% of the portfolio, due to the fact that a considerable proportion of borrowers were
private individuals or SMEs, which are not externally rated.

The table contains exposures grouped according to the counterparties’ internal rating.
Ratings are assigned to individual counterparties using Group banks’ internally-developed models included in their credit risk management
processes. The internal models validated by the regulators are either ‘Group-wide’ (e.g. for banks, multinationals and sovereigns) or bank-specific,
by segment (e.g. retail or corporate).
The various rating scales of these models are mapped onto a single master-scale of 9 classes based on Probability of Default (PD).
75.4% of internally rated exposures were investment grade (classes 1 to 4), while exposures towards unrated counterparties were 14.1% of the
total. No rating is assigned to these counterparties as either they belong to a segment not yet covered by the models, or the appropriate model is still
in the roll-out phase.
Internal Ratings are used for Capital Requirements calculation by the Legal Entities/portfolios that were authorised for the IRB approach from
Central bank. Legal Entities currently authorised are: UniCredit S.p.A., UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria AG, UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c.,
UniCredit Banka Slovenija d.d., UniCredit Bulbank AD, UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia a.s., UniCredit Bank Hungary zrt, UniCredit
Tiriac Bank S.A., ZAO UniCredit Bank and UniCredit Leasing GmbH and related subsidiaries UniCredit Leasing Finance GMBH, UniCredit Leasing
Aviation GMBH.

In compliance with Art.4.1 39 of Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (CRR), in case of exposures towards a group of connected clients formed by a
Central Government and other groups of connected clients, such exposure towards the Central Government is reported for each group of connected
clients when remitting regulatory reporting; despite the above mentioned regulatory approach, in both the amounts shown in letter a), b), and the
number in letter c) in the table above the exposure towards the Central Government assessed according to the above mentioned method is
considered only once.
It should be noted that deferred tax assets towards Italian Central Government were considered as fully exempted and, as a consequence, the
weighted amount reported is null.
C. Securitisation transactions
Qualitative information
In securitisation transactions the Group plays, as the case may be, the role of originator, sponsor or investor.
The Group as originator
The Group’s origination of traditional transactions consists in the sale of on-balance sheet receivables portfolios to vehicles set up as securitisation
companies under Law 130/99 or similar non-Italian legislation.
The transferee company finances the purchase of the receivables portfolios by issuing bonds of varying seniority and transfers its issue proceeds to
the Group.
The yield and maturity of the bonds issued by the buyer therefore mainly depend on the cash flow expected from the assets being sold.
As a further form of security to bondholders, these transactions may include special types of credit enhancement, e.g., subordinated loans, financial
guarantees, standby letters of credit, etc.
The Group’s objectives when carrying out these transactions are usually the following:
• to originate securities that can be used to secure refinancing transactions with Banca d’Italia and the ECB (i.e. counterbalancing capacity);
• to obtain funding through the placement of securities on the market. This also allows a diversification of the funding sources and of the investors’
basis with improvements in reducing the cost of Group’s funding;
• to free up economic and regulatory capital by carrying out transactions that reduce capital requirements under current rules by reducing credit risk
of the underlying portfolio;
• to reduce the exposures towards non-performing customers;
• to optimise the recoveries of exposures portfolios towards non-performing customers, referring to specific asset classes (e.g. Pillarstone and
Sandokan transactions);
• other purposes related for example to corporate re-organization, M&A or divestment’s assets where the true sale securitization is instrumental to
the deleveraging and assets transfer.
The Group carries out both traditional securitisations whereby the receivables portfolio is sold to the SPV and synthetic securitisations which use
financial guarantees to purchase protection over all or part of the underlying credit risk of the portfolio. The latter, on the contrary to traditional
securitisations, is not sold to vehicles but remains also legally within the Group. In this case, moreover, the financial guarantees purchased as
protection of such loans are also booked on the balance sheet as well as the impacts on the income statement related to them.
Under traditional securitisations generally the Group, in addition to provide in some cases servicing role, retains the first loss in the form of junior
bonds or similar exposure and in some cases provides further credit enhancement as described above. This enables the Group to benefit from the
portion of the sold receivables’ yield in excess of the yield due to the senior and mezzanine tranches.
Retention by the Group of the overall first loss risk and the corresponding yield means that most of the risk and return on the portfolio is retained in
these cases. Consequently these transactions are recognised in the accounts as loans and no profits arising out of the transfer of the assets are
recognised as well as the sold receivables are not derecognised.
[In the consolidated financial statements, exposure to the variability deriving from maintenance of the risk of first loss together with the role of
servicer of the underlying assets determines in general control by the Group over these securitisation vehicles. Therefore they are subject to full
consolidation.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Differently, in order to improve the quality of its assets and optimise the capital allocation, the Group also carries out transactions that involve the
portfolios’ derecognition and the related significant risk transfer, by subscribing a limited portion of securities issued by vehicles of securitisation, in
compliance with the rules for maintaining a net economic interest in the securitisation transaction according to the current regulatory requirements
(Retention Rule).
The Group's main objectives in its securitisation transactions (whether traditional or synthetic) until 2007 were the optimisation of the loan portfolio
by freeing up regulatory and economic capital and obtaining fresh liquidity together with greater diversification of its sources of funding.
The crisis in the markets experienced since the second half of 2007 made it advisable to use securitisation as a means of increasing
counterbalancing capacity, i.e. the availability of assets that can be readily used to create liquidity, by retaining the securities issued by the vehicle
within the Group. Moreover traditional securitisations have been used also for corporate re-organisation’s or divestment’s purposes, for assets
deleveraging, for business projects’ purposes, for boosting recovery’s activity through the recourse to specialised management companies external
to the Group and for accelerating the sale of non-performing loans as well.
Analysis and realisation of securitisation transactions are carried out within the Parent in close cooperation with the Group originator entities involved
and with UniCredit Bank AG, as preferred counterparty, as Arranger and potential Investment Banking. This process requires an economic feasibility
study to assess the impact of transactions (according to their nature and aims), on regulatory and economic capital, on risk-adjusted profitability
measures, on the level of liquidity and on the Group’s asset quality. If this initial phase produces a positive result, a technical and operational
feasibility study is carried out to identify the assets to be securitised and define the structure of the transaction. Once technical feasibility has been
established, the transaction is realised.
Eventually it should be noted that "self-securitisations" and transactions in warehousing phase are not included in the quantitative tables of Part C,
as required by regulations.
Developments of the period
The Group makes limited use of this type of transactions. The amount of securitised loans35, net of the transactions in which the Group has acquired
all the liabilities issued by the SPVs (the so-called self-securitisations), accounts for 1.35% of the Group’s credit portfolio. Self-securitisations in turn
account for 4.46% of the loan portfolio.
During 2020 the Group carried out seven new transactions, of which 4 traditional and 3 synthetic ones:
• Basket Bond Puglia - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Sandokan 2 - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Rosenkavalier 2020 - traditional (self-securitisation - originator UniCredit Bank AG);
• Relais 2020 - traditional (originator UniCredit Leasing S.p.A.);
• ArtigianCredito Toscano - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Bond del Mezzogiorno 2 - SME Initiative - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• EaSi MicroCredito 2 - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.).
Details are given in the tables published in the “Annexes”, which also describe transactions, traditional and synthetic, carried out in previous financial
years.
The Group as sponsor
The Group defines the role of sponsor as that performed by an entity, other than the transferor, which organises and administers a securitisation or
asset-backed commercial paper structure in which financial assets are purchased from third parties.
The Group acts as sponsor of asset backed commercial paper vehicles (i.e. commercial paper issuing conduits) set-up in order to allow customers
the access to the securitisations’ market (multi-seller Customer conduits).
Customer conduits require the formation and management of a bankruptcy-remote company (i.e., one that would be immune from any financial
difficulties of the originator) which directly or indirectly buys receivables created by companies outside the Group.
The receivables underlying these transactions are not bought directly by the conduit set up by the Group, but by a purchase company which in turn
is wholly funded by the conduit by means of commercial paper or Medium Term Notes (MTN).
In some circumstances purchase companies fund further SPVs which buy loan portfolio.
The main purpose of these transactions is to give corporate customers access to the securitisation market and thus to lower funding costs than
would be borne with direct funding.
35 It refers to loans sold, also synthetically, but not derecognised from balance sheet.
310 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The conduits’ purchase of assets is financed by short-term commercial paper and medium-term note issues.
Payment of interest and redemption of the securities issued by the conduit therefore depends on cash flow from the receivables purchased (credit
risk) and the ability of the conduit to roll over or replace its market funding on maturity (liquidity risk).
To guarantee prompt redemption of the securities issued by the conduit, these transactions are guaranteed by a standby letter of credit covering the
risk of default both of specific assets and of the whole programme.
The underwriters of issued securities also benefit from security provided by specific liquidity lines which the conduit may use if it unable to place new
commercial paper to repay maturing paper, e.g. during market turmoil.
These liquidity lines may not however be used to guarantee redemption of securities issued by the conduit in the event of default by the underlying
assets.
In its role as sponsor, the Group selects the asset portfolios purchased by conduits or purchase companies, provides administration of the assets
and both standby letters of credit and liquidity lines and purchases commercial papers issued when required by market conditions.
For these services the Group receives fees and also benefits from the spread between the return on the assets purchased by the SPV and the
securities issued.
These circumstances put the Group in the condition of having the power over the assets of the conduits and being at the same time exposed to the
variability deriving from such assets. Therefore, the conduits sponsored by the Group have come within the perimeter of consolidation starting from
2007, in application of the conditions provided for in IFRS10 and previously by SIC12.
In addition to the Customer Conduits, purchase companies may also be consolidated if the Group is exposed to the variability of yields deriving from
funding provided directly or indirectly, through the conduit, and also has the power to manage the underlying assets.
The Group as investor
The Group also invests in structured credit products issued by special-purpose entities that are not consolidated pursuant to the accounting rules in
force, insofar as such instruments do not bear most of the risk or receive most of the returns associated with the activity carried out by these special-
purpose entities.
With regard to these activities, the Group holds within the Global ABS portfolio exposures of securitisations established by third-parties such as
RMBS, CMBS, CDO, CBO/CLO and other ABS.
In line with the development of the financial markets and, specifically, the securitisation market, the Global ABS Portfolio was transformed from a
separate portfolio in liquidation to strategic investment portfolio for the Group in 2011 and was integrated into the Markets Strategic Portfolio
("MSP"), managed with a view to generating a profit margin and creating an appreciable capital return through long-term investments in fixed-
income securities.
The development of client-related operations is also an integral part of MSP activities and includes actions to strengthen the customer base and
support securitisations. This portfolio is subject to monitoring and reporting by the business and risk management functions. All activities relating to
the MSP are carried out in conformity with established policies and procedures, specifically credit approval procedures.
The analysis of investments in ABS focuses specifically on the following elements:
• structural analysis of all internal and external risks inherent to a similar investment, e.g. Default Risk, Dilution Risk, Residual Value Risk, Servicer
• Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Liquidity Risk, Commingling Risk, Legal Risk, Adequacy of performance triggers, etc. These risks may differ according to
the underlying assets class;
• analysis of the underlying portfolio, including the analysis of all performance indicators significant for each underlying asset class;
• cash flows/quantitative analysis/modelling;
• credit rating and experience of the participants e.g. vendor/servicer - financial soundness, capacity and availability to service assets.

With reference to transactions with own underlying assets it should be noted that the decrease in balance-sheet net exposures relating to
transactions not derecognised and partially derecognised to €1,480 million as at December 2020 from €1,605 million as at December 2019 was due
to the termination of the securitisation Large Corporate One and to the natural development of the other transactions.
Moreover, the decrease in balance-sheet net exposures concerning synthetic transactions from €3,885 million in December 2019 to €2,516 million in
December 2020 was due to the natural development of the transactions, only partially offset by three new transactions called ArtigianCredito
Toscano, Bond del Mezzogiorno 2 - SME Initiative and EaSi MicroCredito 2.
Finally, it should be noted that:
• the net balance-sheet exposure totally derecognised refers to the securitisations of FINO Project, to the traditional securitisation Prisma and to the
new traditional securitisation Relais 2020, for which see the information provided in the tables published in the “Annexes”;
• the net balance-sheet exposure partially derecognised refers to the transaction Pillarstone Italy - Premuda.

The transactions with third-party underlying assets are those in which the Group acts as sponsor, lender or investor.
With reference to transactions in which the Group acts as sponsor, the total amount of net exposure is equal to €6,070 million (€6,265 million as at
31 December 2019), broken down into asset backed commercial paper and loans for €2,291 million and undrawn credit lines for €3,779 million.
It should be noted that the lines of credit shown are the difference between total credit lines granted and the amount of commercial paper
underwritten by the Group. This figure is the additional risk exposure incurred by the Group in addition to the underwritten commercial paper.
With reference to transactions in which the Group acts as investor, refer to the subsequent tables ‘Exposures toward other consolidated SPVs’ and
“C.4 Regulatory consolidation - Special Purpose Vehicles for securitisation not subject to consolidation” that shows the exposure of the Group
toward these SPVs.
With reference to sponsor exposures the following table provides information about exposures held toward conduits in which the Group acts as
sponsor.

C.4 Regulatory consolidation - Special Purpose Vehicles for securitisation not subject to consolidation
As mentioned before in the context of securitisation transactions the Group may operate as investor, sponsor and originator.
The following table provides indication on assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet as well as off-balance exposures of the Group
toward non-consolidated securitisation vehicles and broken down by role of the Group. The maximum exposure to loss has been calculated by
grossing up the difference between assets and liabilities with off-balance sheet positions, irrevocable credit lines and financial guarantees, held
toward these vehicles and reported in column “difference between maximum exposure to loss and accounting value”.

Exposures toward Commercial Paper Conduit comprise credit line provided to the purchase companies that acquire the receivables from the
originators external to the Group. These credit lines are granted by credit enhancements (deferred purchase price and credit insurance) so that the
Group does not bear the variability of the underlying portfolio.
Exposures toward own securitisation comprise securities and off-balance sheet exposure toward SPV that are not consolidated as the conditions
required by IFRS10 are not fulfilled. Absent the conditions requested by IFRS9 the securitised loans have not been derecognised from the balance
sheet of the originator.
For further information on these securitisations refer to the tables published in the “Annexes”.
During the period the Group has not provided financial support to any non-consolidated securitisation vehicle in absence of contractual obligation to
do so. The Group has not the current intention to provide such support.
The Group does not act as sponsor of securitisation vehicles in which it has not exposures at the end of the reporting period.

D.4 Regulatory consolidation - Covered Bond Transactions
In 2008 the Group initiated a first Covered Bond (OBG or Obbligazioni Bancarie Garantite) Programme with residential mortgage loans as the
underlying assets and in 2012 a second Covered Bond Programme with both residential and commercial mortgage loans as underlying assets, in
line with Law 130/99, the MEF decree dated 14 December 2006 and Banca d’Italia instructions dated 17 May 2007 as amended on 24 March 2010
and on 24 June 2014.
Under these programmes:
• UniCredit S.p.A. is issuer and also acts as transferor of suitable assets and servicer;
• UniCredit BpC Mortgage S.r.l. and UniCredit OBG S.r.l. (special purpose vehicles set up within the banking group as expressly authorised by
Banca d’Italia) are guarantors of the OBG holders of the first and the second programme respectively, within the limits of the cover pools; and
• the auditing firm BDO Italia S.p.A. is Asset Monitor for both the programmes.
The first programme, guaranteed by UniCredit BpC Mortgage S.r.l., is characterised by a Soft Bullet method36 of reimbursement and is rated by
Fitch (AA-), S&P (AA-), Moody’s (Aa3).
The second programme, guaranteed by UniCredit OBG S.r.l., is characterised by a Conditional Pass-Through method37 of reimbursement and is
rated by Moody’s (Aa3).
The Group’s main aims in issuing OBGs are to diversify its funding sources and fund at competitive rates. As with the securitisations, the difficulties
in the markets made it advisable to use securitisation as a means of increasing the Group’s counterbalancing capacity by retaining with the Group
part of the securities issued by the vehicle.
An integral feature of OBG Programme management is maintaining a balance between the characteristics of the assets sold and the issues. This is
necessary to maintain the efficacy of the guarantee given by the SPV to the bondholders.
36 Soft Bullet repayment method: in case the issuer is insolvent and the OBG guarantor has insufficient funds to repay in full the OBG at the maturity date, the maturity date is automatically extended by 1 year and any
unpaid and due amount shall be payable by such date. In case the OBG guarantor is not able to redeem the OBG at the extended maturity all the outstanding OBG become due and payable and the guarantor has to sale
the whole underlying portfolio.
37 Conditional pass-through repayment method: in case the issuer is insolvent and the OBG guarantor has insufficient funds to repay in full the OBG at the maturity date, the OBG turns in to “pass-through” and the maturity
date is extended by 38 years. During the extended period the OBG guarantor has the option to attempt a selected sale of the underlying portfolio every 6 months in order to redeem the pass-through OBG..

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Given the complexity of the transaction, a system of first- and second-level controls and procedures has been set up, as required by Banca d’Italia
instructions, to identify units, functions, duties and responsibilities, and specific policies have been issued to this end.
The policies were as approved by the competent committees, the Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A.
As required by Banca d’Italia instructions on controls:
• UniCredit’s Risk Management function is charged with the management of the issuer’s risks and checks:
- the quality, suitability and integrity of the assets sold to guarantee the OBGs;
- that the maximum ratio of OBGs issued to assets sold to guarantee them is adhered to;
- that limits on sales and supplementary sales procedures are followed;
- the effectiveness and adequacy of the hedges provided by any derivatives contracts entered into in relation to the Programme; and
- the trend in the balance between the cash flow arising from the cover pool and that absorbed by the OBGs in issue;
• the Asset Monitor is an outside independent entity charged with checking at least annually the regularity of the transactions and the integrity of the
guarantee to the bondholders;
• UniCredit’s internal audit department is responsible for a complete audit (to be conducted at least once a year) of the adequacy of the controls
performed;
• the results of the audits performed by the Asset Monitor and the issuer’s internal audit department are submitted to the governing bodies.
At 31 December 2020 the series of covered bonds issued under the two programmes totalled 31 and were worth €27,856 million, of which €21,200
million was repurchased by UniCredit S.p.A.

Information on structured trading derivatives with customers
The business model governing OTC derivatives trading with customers provides for the centralisation of market risk in the CIB Division - Markets
Area, while credit risk is assumed by the Group company which, under the divisional or geographical segmentation model, manages the relevant
customer’s account.
The Group’s operational model provides for customer trading derivatives business to be carried on, as part of each subsidiary’s operational
independence:
• by the commercial banks and divisions that close transaction in OTC derivatives in order to provide non-institutional clients with products to
manage currency, interest-rate and price risk. Under these transactions, the commercial banks transfer their market risks to the CIB Division by
means of equal and opposite contracts, retaining only the relevant counterparty risk. The commercial banks also place or collect orders on behalf
of others for investment products with embedded derivatives (e.g. structured bonds);
• by the CIB Division operating with large corporate and financial institutions, in respect of which it assumes and manages both market and
counterparty risk;
• by CEE Banks, which transact business directly with their customers.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
UniCredit group trades OTC derivatives on a wide range of underlying, e.g. interest rates, currency rates, share prices and indexes, commodities
(precious metals, base metals, petroleum and energy materials) and credit rights.
OTC derivatives offer considerable scope for personalisation: new payoff profiles can be constructed by combining several OTC derivatives (for
example, a plain vanilla IRS with one or more plain vanilla or exotic options). The risk and the complexity of the structures obtained in this manner
depend on the respective characteristics of the components (reference parameters and indexation mechanisms) and the way in which they are
combined.
Credit and market risk arising from OTC derivatives business is controlled by the Chief Risk Officer competence line (CRO) in the Parent and/or in
the Division or subsidiary involved. This control is carried out by means of guidelines and policies covering risk management, measurement and
controls in terms of principles, rules and processes, as well as by setting VaR limits.
The business with non-institutional clients does not (usually) entail the use of margin calls, whereas with institutional counterparties (dealt with by the
CIB Division) recourse may be made to ‘credit-risk mitigation’ (CRM) techniques, by using netting and/or collateral agreements.
Write-downs and write-backs of derivatives to take account of counterparty risk are determined in line with the procedure used to assess other credit
exposure, specifically:
• performing exposure to customers are mapped by deriving EAD (Exposure at Default) that take into account the Wrong-Way Risk and measured
with PD (Probability of Default) and LGD (Loss Given Default) implied by current market default rates obtained from credit & loan-credit default
swaps, in order to obtain a value in terms of ‘expected loss’ (EL) to be used for items designated and measured at fair value maximising the usage
of market’s inputs;
• non-performing positions are valued in terms of estimated expected future cash flows according to specific indications of impairment (which are
the basis for the calculation of the amount and timing of the cash flow).
Here follows the breakdown of balance-sheet asset item “20. a) Financial assets held for trading” and of balance-sheet liability item “20. Financial
liabilities held for trading”.
For the purpose of the distinction between customers and banking counterparties, the definition contained in Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005
of Banca d’Italia and subsequent amendments (which was used for the preparation of the accounts) was used as a reference.
Structured products were defined as derivative contracts that incorporate in the same instrument forms of contracts that generate exposure to
several types of risk (with the exception of cross-currency swaps) and/or leverage effects.
Fair values of OTC derivatives managed through Central Clearing counterparts are reported on a net basis. The related reduction of balances is
€38,163 million and €44,902 million on trading asset (item “20. a) Financial assets held for trading”) and liabilities (“20. Financial liabilities held for
trading”), respectively.
The balance of item “20. a) Financial assets held for trading” of the Consolidated accounts with regard to derivative contracts totaled €45,162 million
(with a notional value of €1,958,609 million) including €30,067 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with customers amounted to
€1,090,966 million including €1,080,367 million in plain vanilla (with a fair value of €29,526 million) and €10,599 million in structured derivatives (with
a fair value of €541 million).
The notional value of derivatives with banking counterparties totaled €867,643 million (fair value of €15,095 million) including €14,795 million relating
to structured derivatives (fair value of €275 million).
The balance of item “20. Financial liabilities held for trading” of the consolidated accounts with regard to derivative contracts totaled €35,843 million
(with a notional value of €1,933,580 million) including €16,911 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with customers amounted to
€1,057,474 million including €1,052,658 million in plain vanilla (with a fair value of €16,775 million) and €4,816 million in structured derivatives (with
a fair value of €137 million).
The notional value of derivatives with banking counterparties totaled €876,106 million (fair value of €18,932 million) including €9,335 million relating
to structured derivatives (fair value of €281 million).
E. Prudential perimeter - Credit risk measurement models
As at 31 December 2020 the expected loss on the credit risk perimeter was 0.32% of total UniCredit group credit exposure. The result does not
include the exposures which have migrated to default and therefore do not enter in the calculation of expected loss. Besides, since risk
measurement systems tend to be anti-cyclical, this may result in a smaller elasticity to the swift changes of the macroeconomic scenario.
As at 31 December 2020, the ratio between credit economic capital (including a component to cover migration risk) and its relative credit exposure
amount is 2.91%.

2.2 Market risk
Market risk derives from the effect that changes in market variables (interest rates, securities prices, exchange rates, etc.) can cause to the
economic value of the Group's portfolio, including the assets held both in the Trading book, as well as those posted in the Banking book, both on the
operations characteristically involved in commercial banking and in the choice of strategic investments. Market risk management within UniCredit
group accordingly includes all the activities relating to cash transactions and capital structure management, both for the Parent Company, as well as
for the individual entities of the Group.
From a regulatory perspective, market risk stems from all the positions included in banks' trading book as well as from commodity and foreign
exchange risk positions in the whole balance sheet.
Therefore, the risks subject to market risk capital requirements include but are not limited to:
• default risk, interest rate risk, credit spread risk, equity risk, foreign exchange (FX) risk and commodities risk for trading book instruments; and
• FX risk and commodities risk for banking book instruments.
From a managerial perspective, the Group extends the definition of Market Risk to include Fair value through Profit and Loss (i.e. FVtPL) and Other
Comprehensive Income (i.e. FVtOCI assets, net of Micro Fair Value Hedges) portfolios, which are therefore monitored and limited through a set of
market-risk specific metrics.
Amortised Cost (AC) securities are also included in the scope with the aim to check the consistency with the Investment Plan.
The current organisational model guarantees the ability to steer, coordinate and control the activities of some aggregated risks (so-called Portfolio
Risks), through dedicated responsibility centres (Portfolio Risk Managers), completely focused and specialised on such risks, under a Group and
interdivisional perspective.
According to this organisation, the structure at first level of reporting to "Group Risk Management", dedicated to market risk governance is the
"Group Financial Risk" department.
Risk management strategies and processes
The Parent Company's Board of Directors lays down strategic guidelines for taking on market risks by calculating capital allocation for the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries, depending on risk appetite and value creation objectives in proportion to the risks assumed.
The Parent Company has defined Global Rules to manage and control market risk, including strategies and processes to be followed. Market risk
strategies are set by the Parent Company at least on an annual basis, in line with the definition of the overall Group Risk appetite and then cascaded
to the legal entities. Market risk appetite is also fundamental for the development of the Group's business strategy, ensuring the consistence
between the budgeted revenues and the setting of Value-at-Risk limits.
In this context, on an annual basis Market Risk Management function of the Parent Company agrees with the local Market Risk functions possible
changes to the Group Market Risk Framework. Changes to the Group Market Risk Framework can include changes to the perimeter for the
calculation of managerial market risk metrics and methodological changes in the limit monitoring framework.
For this purpose, Market Risk Management of the Parent Company gathers the information needed to set up the Group Market Risk Strategy for the
following year. In particular, Group Market Risk Management receives from the competent function the Group Risk Appetite Framework, which sets,
among others, Market Risk KPIs and from local Market Risk functions the list of legal entities (LEs)/Business Lines allowed to assume market risk
exposures, the severities of the related limits and the proposals for the review of market risk levels.
Based on these inputs, the Group Market Risk strategy is defined including the following information:
• the proposed Market Risk Takers Map;
• limits and Warning Levels (WLs) proposal in accordance with the proposed Market Risk Takers Map;
• any change occurred to the risk limit framework compared to the previous year;
• overview on the macro-economic scenario and related risks for the Group;
• market risk RWA history and expected development;
• market risk KPIs benchmarking;
• the business strategy and key initiatives to support the limit proposal.
After that all the Group relevant Bodies have approved the Group Market Risk Strategy and given the relevant NBOs for local market risk limits, the
approval is communicated to the local functions.
In terms of monitoring, the LEs carry out periodical activities (e.g. daily monitoring of VaR, weekly monitoring of Regulatory VaR, IRC and SVaR,
monthly monitoring of Stress Test Warning Level) under the coordination of the Parent Company Market Risk Management function and the
breaches are timely escalated locally to Senior Management and to the Parent Company.

Ultimately, it has to be highlighted that detailed Global Rules on market risk strategy definition, limits setting, monitoring, escalation and reporting
activities are in place and applied at Group level.
Trading Book
In accordance with the Capital Requirements Regulation, and as defined in the current policy "Eligibility Criteria for the Regulatory Trading book
assignment", the Trading book is defined as all positions in financial instruments and commodities held either with trading intent, or in order to hedge
positions held with trading intent. Books held with trading intent are composed of:
• positions arising from client servicing and market making;
• positions intended to be resold in the short term;
• positions intended to benefit from actual or expected short-term price differences between buying and selling prices or from other price or interest
rate variations.
In addition, Trading book may include internal or intra-group hedging derivatives transferring risk from Banking book into Trading book, entitled to
manage the relevant risk and having access to the derivatives market.
The essential requirement for the Regulatory Trading book assignment is a clear "trading intent", as defined above, which the trader has to commit
to and has to confirm on an ongoing basis. Additionally, the so called "tradability", "marketability" and "hedgeability" requirements have to be
assessed in order to evaluate the appropriateness for the Trading book assignment:
• tradability refers to positions free of restrictions on their tradability and coherently reflected within the "Trader Mandate" of the risk taker;
• marketability refers to the positions for which a reliable Fair Value can be evaluated based to the largest extent on independently verified
observable market parameters;
• hedgeability refers to positions for which a hedge could be put in place. The hedgeability is meant to concern the "material" risks of a position
which implies not necessarily that all the various risk features are to be hedgeable.
When opening a new book, the book manager makes the proposal whether the book should be managed as a Trading book or a Banking book
based on the planned trading activity. This has to be in line with the bank's internal rules and criteria for the assignment to either Trading book or
Banking book. The book manager is required to clearly declare the trading intent and therefore to explain the business strategy behind the request
for the Regulatory Trading assignment. The book manager is then responsible for all the positions held in his book and the eligibility criteria are
expected to be fulfilled on an ongoing basis.
Concerning the monitoring phase, to demonstrate adequate trading intent, the following minimum criteria must be fulfilled at book level and are
checked at least on a quarterly basis:
• minimum of 5 trades during the past 90 trading days;
• minimum of 5% of the volume of each book traded during the past 90 trading days with reference to the last day of the period.
In case a breach of the trading intent criteria, the possibility to re-classify the book must be assessed.
With reference to the methodology used to ensure that the policies and procedures implemented for the management of the Trading book are
appropriate, first of all it has to be noted that any new/updated regulation has to be preliminary shared with the main impacted functions/Legal
Entities in order to collect their feedback. The competent Group function also assesses the compliance risks with reference to the regulations falling
within its direct scope of competence. In addition, before the issuance, the owner of the rule submits to the competent Body/function for the
approval.
The financial instruments (an asset or a liability, cash or derivative) held by the Group are exposed to changes over time driven by moves of market
risk factors. The market risk factors are classified in the following five standard market risk asset classes:
• Credit risk: the risk that the value of the instrument decreases due to credit spreads changes, issuer correlation and recovery rates;
• Equity risk: the risk that the value of the instrument decreases due to increase/decrease of index/stock prices, equity volatilities, implied
correlation;
• Interest rate risk: the risk that the value of the instrument decreases due to interest rates changes, basis risk, interest rates volatility;
• Currency risk: the risk that the value of the instrument decreases due to foreign exchange rates changes, foreign exchange rates volatility;
• Commodity risk: the risk that the value of the instrument decreases due to changes of the commodity prices, e.g. gold, crude oil, commodity prices
volatility

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Market risk in UniCredit group is measured and limited mainly through two sets of metrics: Broad Market Risk measures and Granular Market Risk
measures:
• Broad Market Risk measures: these measures are meant to set a boundary to the regulatory capital absorption and to the economic loss
accepted for FVOCI and/or FVTPL exposures. Limitations on Broad Market Risk measures must be reviewed at least annually in the context of the
drafting of the Group and Local Market Risk Strategies and must be consistent with assigned budget of revenues, the defined risk taking capacity
(ICAAP process) and Group Risk Appetite KPIs. The set of all limitations on Broad Market Risk measures assigned to a specific market risk taker
must be consistent with each other.
The consistency must be checked whenever a level for a Broad Market Risk Measure is defined. The legal entity Market Risk Function needs to
provide evidence of such consistency when required. Broad Market Risk measures are:
- Value at Risk ("VaR"), the potential 1-day loss in value of a portfolio for a 99% single-tail confidence interval; calculated through historical
simulation in full revaluation using the last 250 equally weighted daily observations;
- Stressed VaR ("SVaR"), the VaR of a portfolio calculated using a 250-day period of significant financial stress;
- Incremental Risk Charge ("IRC"), the amount of regulatory capital aimed at addressing the credit shortcomings (migration and default risks) that
can affect a portfolio in one year at a 99.9% confidence level;
- 60 days PL, set as the 60 calendar days rolling period Accumulated Economic P&L without resetting at year end; the limitation on this metrics is
called Loss Warning Level ("LWL");
- Worst Stress test result, defined as the worst conditional loss on a given portfolio resulting from the application of a predefined set of scenarios;
the limitation on this metrics is called Stress Test Warning Level ("STWL"); for all STWL included in the Market Risk Taker Maps, Holding
Company monitoring is based on the set of scenarios defined in the Group Market Risk Strategy; legal entities are allowed to add specific
scenarios for local monitoring purposes.
The Group has undertaken a progressive review of Market Risk measure scope and, starting from 2019, Warning Levels for 60 days PL and Worst
Stress test result have been defined on FVtPL and FVtOCI perimeters.
• Granular Market Risk measures: these measures allow a more detailed and stringent control of risk exposures than Broad Market Risk
measures. Limitations on Granular Market Risk measures (so-called Granular Market Limits, GMLs) are specific limits to individual risk factors or
group of risk factors:
- sensitivity levels, which represent the change in the market value of a financial instrument due to small moves of the relevant market risk asset
classes/factors. Among others, and not limited to, particularly relevant considering the asset and liability structure of the commercial bank are the
Basis Point Value Sensitivity, that measures the change in the present value of the interest rate sensitive positions resulting from a 1bp parallel
shift to interest rate, and the Credit Point Value Sensitivity, that measure the change in the present value of the credit risk sensitive positions
resulting from a 1bp parallel shift to credit spread (per issuer, rating or industry);
- stress scenario levels, which represent the change in the market value of a financial instrument due to large moves of the relevant market risk
asset classes/factors;
- nominal levels, which are based on the notional value of the exposure.
The main objectives of Granular Market Limits are:
- supporting the management of market risk;
- ensuring desk's focus to exposure under their mandate;
- restricting risk concentration, i.e. preventing the build-up of positions that, although consistent with allocated VaR limits, could become
unmanageable in case of turmoil or in case of reduced market liquidity;
- complementing VaR when it does not cover sufficiently a specific risk factor;
- facilitating interaction with traders, who manage their books according to sensitivities or scenario analysis;
- limiting P&L volatility due to a specific risk factor;
- complementing the compliance framework (e.g. Volcker rule and the German Trennbanken act).
GMLs must be consistent with limitations on Broad Market Risk measures.
To cover also Amortized Cost securities, the new Market Risk Strategy has introduced new notional and CPV granular limits on Regulatory Banking
book perimeter. This ensures the monitoring of Credit spread risk in the Banking book, which originates mainly from government bond portfolios held
for liquidity purposes. The main credit spread exposure relates to Italian sovereign risk in the Italian perimeter.
As for Banking book FX risk, the FX Management & Control Global Policy in force requires every Legal Entity to setup local processes and controls
to transfer the transactional exchange risk exposures to one single unit, generally in the Markets department, mandated to manage the open
exposure within the allotted limits and the general market risk appetite.
Finally, the Group is exposed to FX risk in relation to the holding of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures presenting their financial statements
in currencies different than EUR (Structural FX Risk). The general policy is to hedge the foreign currency exposures from dividends and
contributions to consolidate profit (loss) considering hedging cost and market circumstances. The FX exposure is hedged using forwards and
options that are classified as Trading book. This general rule is valid for the Parent Company. The hedge strategy is reviewed by the relevant risk
committees on a regular basis.

Banking Book
The main components of market risk in the Banking book are: credit spread risk, FX risk and interest rate risk.
As for the first two components (Credit Spread risk and exchange rate risk), please refer to what is reported in this paragraph in the Trading Portfolio
section.
With regards to the third component (interest rate risk), the exposure is measured in terms of sensitivity of the economic value and of the net interest
income.
The Asset & Liability Committee is responsible for the definition of the interest rate risk strategy for the strategic position of the banking book,
including the strategic management of the capital and structural gap between non interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities.
The management of Banking book interest rate main target is the reduction of the adverse impacts on net interest income due to interest rate
volatility in a multiyear horizon, in order to achieve a flow of earnings and a return on capital coherent with the strategic plan. The strategy does not
imply any intended directional or discretional positioning to generate additional earnings, unless approved by relevant bodies and separately
monitored. The only exceptions is for those functions authorised to carry interest rates positions within an approved level of limitations from the
relevant risk committees.
The Treasury functions manage the interest rate risk deriving from commercial transactions maintaining the exposure within the limits set by the
relevant risk committees. On a daily basis the exposure is monitored and measured from risk management functions.
The interest rate management strategy takes also into account the main impacts from clients’ behavior, which may impact on the value of interest
margins or on the economic value of the banking book. Such are for instance the loans prepayment and the stability of sight deposits.
The prepayment risk is managed through the adaptation of the contractual profile on the basis of behavior of clients inferred from historical data In
UniCredit S.p.A., UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria AG e UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia S.A. the interest of prepayment is
modelled considering also, if relevant, the financial incentive linked to the trend of interest rates. The prepayment risk is considered also in the credit
portfolios of AO UniCredit Bank, UniCredit Bank Hungary ZRT and UniCredit Bank S.A.
The stability of sight deposits is assessed trough an internal model which estimates the stable volume and that non-sensitive to interest rates.
Starting from those volumes is built the hedging strategy, consistently with the maturity profile approved from the Asset & Liability Committee and
coherently with the management strategy of interest rate risk of the banking book The adoption of the internal models applied to the sight deposits is
present across all the banks of the Group, with exception for UniCredit Bank Ireland p.l.c. and UniCredit International Bank (Luxembourg) S.A. The
hedging strategy is enacted through fixed rate positions at medium long term (commercial loans, government bonds or alternatively financial
derivatives as interest rate swaps). The composition of the hedging portfolio in terms of products and their maturities depends from their availability
and their liquidity.
Structure and organisation
The Group Financial Risk department is responsible, at Group level, for the definition of the strategies of financial risk management of the Group to
be submitted to the competent functions/ Bodies (i.e. liquidity risk, balance sheet interest rate risk, market risk and counterpart risk), ensuring that
the control of the risks taken by UniCredit S.p.A. Foreign Branches are monitored and reported to the Group Chief Risk Officer and to the Senior
Management. In addition, the structure governs the Group activities aimed to ensure the independent control of the prices and of the Front Office
relevant parameters, for the fair value calculation.
The development and maintenance of Group methodologies, models and architectures regarding financial and behavioural risks as well as the
pricing models validation are in charge of Group Financial Risk Methodologies & Models which reports to Group Risk Models & Credit Risk
Governance.

The structure breaks down as follows.
GROUP FINANCIAL RISK
“Group Market & Trading Credit Risk Management”, responsible for governing and checking either at Group level and
UniCredit S.p.A. level (with the inclusion of the Foreign Branches) and of the Regional Center Italy (when applicable), the
market risks and the counterparty risks.
“Group Price Control”, responsible for steering and controlling, for the whole Group, the independent price verification
processes (IPV).
“Group Financial Risk Standard & Practice”, responsible for ensuring the coherence and the coordination - within the
Group - of the Group Rules of competence of “Group Financial Risk” structure.
“Group Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk Management”, responsible for governing and controlling the liquidity risk and
balance sheet interest rate risk, either at Group level and UniCredit S.p.A. level (including the Foreign Branches) and the
Country Italy (when applicable).
With reference to the communication mechanism among the different parties involved in market risk management, the responsible Committees are:
• Group Market Risk Committee;
• Group Assets & Liabilities Committee.
The “Group Market Risk Committee”, whose participants/permanent guests are mainly representatives of Risk, Business, Compliance and Internal
Audit, meets monthly and is responsible for monitoring market risks at Group level, for evaluating the impact of transactions, approved by the
competent bodies, significantly affecting the overall market risk portfolio profile, for submitting to the “Group Risk & Internal Control Committee”, for
approval or information, market risk strategies, policies, methodologies and limits as well as periodical reporting on the market risk portfolio.The
Committee is also responsible for ensuring consistency in market risk policies, methodologies and practices across Business Functions and legal
entities.
The "Group Assets and Liabilities Committee" is involved in the process of defining strategies, policies, methodologies and limits (where applicable)
for liquidity risk and Banking book interest rate risks, transfer pricing, Funding Plan and Contingency Funding Plan and in monitoring activities.It also
ensures the consistency of the practices and methodologies relating to liquidity and Banking book interest rate across Business Functions and legal
entities, with the aim of optimising the usage of financial resources (e.g. liquidity and capital) in line with Risk Appetite and business strategies.
The committee’s involvement in interest rate risk management includes:
• the definition of granular interest rate Banking book limits;
• the initial approval and fundamental modifications for the measurement and control system of Banking book interest rate risks with the support of
internal validation function (where necessary);
• the optimization of the Group profile for Banking book interest rate risk;
• the definition of the operational strategies of Balance sheet (e.g. replicating portfolio) and application of the internal transfer prices within the Italian
perimeter;
• the consultancy and suggestion to Group Risk & Internal Control Committee with respect to the contribution to Risk Appetite Framework, Global
Policy for Interest Rate Banking book definition and changes of behavioral models for Interest Rate Banking book and other critical/important
issues with potential impact on Banking book’ interest rate.
Risk measurement and reporting systems
Trading Book
In the second half of 2020, UniCredit group continued to improve and consolidate market risk models to properly measure, represent and control the
Group risk profile, reflecting these changes in the reporting activity. As regards market risk measurements, further details can be reported in
paragraph “Internal Model for Price, Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Risk of the Regulatory Trading book”, while for both monthly and daily
reporting process, Global Process Regulation are periodically updated.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Within the organisational context described above, the policy implemented by UniCredit group within the scope of market risk management is aimed
at gradually adopting and using common principles, rules and processes in terms of appetite for risk, limit calculations, model development, pricing
and risk model scrutiny.
The Group Financial Risk department is specifically required to ensure that principles, rules and processes are in line with industry best practice and
consistent with standards and uses in the various countries in which they are applied.
The main tool used by UniCredit group to measure market risk on trading positions is Value at Risk (VaR), calculated using the historical simulation
method. Further details on risk valuation models are included in the following chapter.
Group Financial Risk defines market risk reporting standards, both in terms of contents and recurrence, and provides timely information to the
Senior Management and regulators regarding the market risk profile at consolidated level.
In addition to VaR and Basel 2 risk measures, stress tests represent an important risk management tool that provides UniCredit with an indication of
how much capital might be needed to absorb losses in case of large financial shocks. Stress testing forms an integral part of the Internal Capital
Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), which requires UniCredit to undertake rigorous, forward-looking stress testing that identifies possible
events or changes in market conditions that could adversely impact the bank.
Banking Book
The primary responsibility of the monitoring and control of the risk management for market risk in the Banking book lies in the bank’s competent
bodies. For instance, the Parent company is responsible for the process of monitoring the market risks on the Banking book at consolidated level. As
such, it defines structure, data and frequency of the necessary Group reporting.
The Banking book interest rate risk measures cover both the economic value and net interest income risk aspects. In particular, the different and
complementary perspectives involve:
• Economic Value perspective: variation in interest rates can affect the economic value of assets and liabilities. The economic value of the bank can
be viewed as the present value of the bank’s expected net cash flows, defined as the expected cash flows on assets minus the expected cash
flows on liabilities; a relevant risk measure from this perspective is the economic value sensitivity per time bucket for a 1bp rate shock. This
measure is reported to the relevant committees to assess the economic value impact of various changes in the yield curve. in addition, the
economic value sensitivity for the SOT scenarios is also calculated according to EBA/GL/2018/02;
• Earnings at risk perspective: the focus of the analysis is the impact of changes of interest rates on Net Interest Income that is the difference
between the revenues generated by interest sensitive assets and the cost relating to interest sensitive liabilities. An example of a measure of risks
used is Net Interest Income sensitivity for a 100bps parallel shock of rates. This measure is reported to the competent committees to the end of
evaluating its impact on the interest income over the next 12 months. Additional stress test scenarios are performed and monitored including basis
risk and non-parallel shocks with hypothesis of increase or decrease of interest rates levels under constant balance sheet assumption.
As for other sources of market risk, such as Credit Spread risk and FX risk, please refer to the information in the paragraph Risk management
strategies and processes, relating to the Trading Book section.
Hedging policies and risk mitigation
Trading Book
The mitigation of Trading book risk is performed through the Market Risk Strategy, where Broad and Granular Limits are defined. The effective limit
utilization is provided to Group Market Risk Committee (through the Market Risk Overview report) and related breaches are escalated to the
competent Body, according to the severity assigned by the Market Risk Strategy. The escalation process is ruled by the Global Policy "Market Risk
Limits" which defines the nature of the various thresholds/limits applied, as well as the relevant bodies to be involve to establish the most appropriate
course of action to restore exposure within the approved limits.
A set of risk indicators is also provided to the Group Risk and Internal Control Committee on a quarterly basis through the Integrated Risk Report,
which includes VaR, Regulatory VaR, Stressed VaR and IRC limit usages, Sensitivities, Sovereign Exposure and Stress test results.
If required, focus is provided to relevant Committees on the activity of a specific business line/desk to ensure the highest level of understanding and
discussion of the risks in certain areas which are deemed to deserve particular attention.
Banking Book
Group Risk Management reports to the Group Assets and Liability Committee on a monthly basis on the Banking book risk measures both from a
value and income perspective. It proposes and monitors limits and warning levels that have been approved by the relevant competent bodies.
Breaches of limits and warning levels are reported, upon occurrence, to the relevant bodies. Consequently, the escalation process is activated in line
with the procedures set in relative Policy, to establish the most appropriate course of action to restore exposure within the approved limits.
The execution of structural hedges to mitigate the interest rate risk exposure on client business is responsibility of the treasury functions. The
strategic transactions in the Banking book is managed by the Asset and Liability Management department, ALM.

Internal model for price, interest rate and exchange rate risk of the regulatory trading book
The current Market Risk internal model is based on Value-at-Risk (VaR) framework, integrated with other risk measures: incremental risk capital
charge (IRC) and stressed Value-at-Risk (SVaR) aimed at reducing the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk, in line
with the European directives in force.
All the regulatory requirements in the contest of market risk have been addressed via internal development of the necessary model and IT
infrastructure as opposed to the external acquisition of ready-made solutions.
This enabled UniCredit to craft solutions that in many aspects can be considered on the sophisticated end of the spectrum of practices that can be
found in the Industry. In this respect one distinctive feature of the market (and counterparty) risk frameworks implemented in UniCredit group is the
full revaluation approach employing the same pricing libraries used in the Front Office.
UniCredit group calculates both VaR and SVaR for market risk on trading positions using the historical simulation method. Under the historical
simulation method positions are revaluated (in full revaluation approach) based on trends in market prices over an appropriate observation period.
The empirical distribution of profits/losses deriving therefrom is analysed to determine the effect of extreme market movements on the portfolios. For
a given portfolio, probability and time horizon, VaR is defined as a threshold value so that the probability that the mark-to-market loss on the
portfolio, over the given time horizon, not exceeding this value (assuming no trading in the portfolio) has the given confidence level. Current
configuration of the internal model defines VaR at a 99% confidence level on the 1-day P&L distribution obtained from equally weighted historical
scenarios covering the last 250 days. Historical scenarios are built relying on proportional shocks for Equities and FX rates, and on absolute shocks
for Interest Rates and Credit Spreads. UniCredit VaR Model simulates all the risk factors, both referring to general and specific risk, thus providing
diversification in a straightforward approach. The model is recalibrated daily. The use of a 1-day time horizon makes the immediate comparison with
realised profits/losses possible and such comparison is the core of the back-testing exercise.
The VaR measure identifies a consistent measure across all the portfolios and products, since it:
• allows a comparison of risk among different businesses;
• provides a means of aggregating and netting position within a portfolio to reflect correlation and offset between different asset classes;
• facilitates comparisons of market risk both over time and against daily results.
Although a valuable guide to risk, VaR should always be viewed within its limitations:
• historical simulation relies on past occurrences to forecast potential losses. In case of regime shifts this might not be appropriate;
• the length of the time window used to generate the forecasted distribution will necessarily embed a trade-off between the responsiveness of the
metric to recent market evolutions (short window) and the spectrum of scenarios that will embed (long window);
• assuming a constant one/ten-day horizon there is no discrimination between different risk-factor liquidity.
Stressed VaR calculation is based on the very same methodology and architecture of the VaR, and it is analogously calculated with a 99%
confidence level and 1-day time horizon on a weekly basis, but over a stressed observation period of 250 days. The chosen historical period
identifies the 1-year observation window which produces the highest resulting measure for the current portfolio.
Stress windows are recalibrated on a monthly basis and are tailored to the portfolio of each legal entity of the Group, plus the Group itself (relevant
for RWA calculation on a consolidated level). The SVaR window at Group level, at UniCredit Bank AG and UniCredit Bank Austria AG level
corresponds to the “Lehman Crisis” (2008/2009), while for UniCredit S.p.A. it is the “Sovereign Debt Crisis” (2011/2012).The 10-day capital
requirement is however obtained by extending the 1-day risk measure to the 10 day horizon taking the maximum of the square root of time scaling
and a convolution approach that turns the one-day distribution into a 10-day distribution for both the VaR and the Stressed VaR. The 1-day
measures are instead actively used for market risk management.
In order to validate the consistency of VaR internal models used in calculating capital requirements on market risks, back-testing is performed by
comparing the internal model risk estimates with the portfolio profit and loss, in order to check if the 99% of the trading outcomes is covered by the
99th percentile of the risk measures.
The test is based on the last twelve months data (250 daily observations). In case the number of exceptions in the previous year exceeds what
forecasted by the confidence level assumed, a careful revision of model parameters and assumptions is initiated. Group Internal Validation
performed the periodic validation of the VaR/SVaR framework to assess the compliance with regulatory requirements including an independent
back-testing analysis complemented with different parameterisations (e.g. different time horizon, percentile) and detailing the results for a set of
representative portfolios of the Bank.
The IRC capital charge captures default risk as well as migration risk for un-securitised credit products held in the Trading book. The internally
developed model simulates via multivariate version of a Merton-type model the rating migration events of all the issuers relevant to the Group
trading positions over a capital horizon of one year. The transition probabilities and the sector correlations are historically calibrated, while
idiosyncratic correlations are derived from the IRB correlation formula. Simulated migration events are turned into credit spread scenarios while
default events are associated to a simulated recovery rate. In doing so a constant position assumption is employed and products are conservatively
all attributed a common liquidity horizon of 1 year.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In each scenario all the relevant product inventory is revaluated under such spread and default events producing a simulated profit or loss (P&L) that
fully reflects convexity, basis risk, portfolio effects and portfolio concentration risks.
In this way a high number of paths Monte Carlo simulation generates a P&L distribution for the Group (and each leaf of its portfolio tree). IRC is
defined as the 99.9 percentile of such loss distribution.
Additional capital charge for securitisations and credit products not covered by IRC is evaluated through the standardised approach.
The following table summarises the main characteristics of the different measures that define the capital requirement for market risk in UniCredit.

The IRC Model is subject to a quarterly program of Stress tests aimed at evaluating the robustness of the model. The relevant parameters as
Recovery Rates, Transition Probabilities, idiosyncratic correlation are shocked and the impact on the IRC measure is computed.
“Group Internal Validation” performed its analyses in order to evaluate the conceptual soundness of the IRC model, to supplement the available
analyses on that topic and to ensure the compliance of the resulting risk management environment with all the relevant regulatory requirements and
internal standards. As already remarked by the regulation, traditional back-testing procedures, regarding the 99.9% one-year soundness standard
for IRC, are not applicable due to the 1-year time horizon of the measure. Consequently, while validation of the IRC model relied heavily on indirect
methods (including stress tests, sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis) in order to assess the qualitative and quantitative reasonableness of the
model, special focus has indeed been given to the specific situation of UniCredit portfolios.
Group Internal Validation Unit kept the scope of their analyses as wide as possible in order to comprise the many diverse issues that are acting
concurrently in such a model (general model design, regulatory compliance, numerical implementation, outcomes explanation).Group Internal
Validation performed a full spectrum of validation analyses on the IRC measure calculation using its internal replica libraries. The replica allows a
simple verification of the results provided by the productive environment, and in addition opens up the door to a more dynamical and tailored
implementation of the needed tests. The spectrum of analysis encompassed Monte Carlo stability, correlation analysis and stressing, assessment
on portfolio concentration, calculation of parameters sensitivity, marginal contribution analysis, alternative models comparisons. All major
parameters were tested, i.e. correlation matrices, transition probabilities matrices, transition shocks, recovery rates, probabilities of default, number
of scenarios.
To understand the overall performance of the model in replicating the real-world migration and default phenomena, Group Internal Validation
performed also a historical performance exercise comparing the migrations and defaults predicted by UniCredit IRC model with the ones actually
observed since 1981 (due to data availability).
Banca d’Italia authorised UniCredit group to use internal models for the calculation of capital requirements for market risk. As of today, CEE
countries are the main entities of the Group that are using the standardised approach for calculating capital requirements relating to trading
positions. However, the VaR measure is used for the management of market risk in the abovementioned entities.
For Trading book VaR the bank differentiates between regulatory and managerial views. The managerial measure is used for Risk monitoring and
Business steering purposes as prescribed by Market Risk Framework: in particular VaR limits represent the main metric translating the Risk Appetite
into the Market Risk framework.
The managerial VaR has a wider scope: it is used to monitor both Trading book and Banking book perimeter (specifically FVtPL and FVtOCI
positions), also including legal entities for which the standardised measurement method is applied for Regulatory purposes, in order to have a
complete picture of risk through PL and capital. Furthermore, the exposure coming from hedges of the XVA sensitivities is excluded from managerial
VaR monitoring but included in the Regulatory VaR limits in order to allow a proper steering of MRWA; additionally, respective sensitivities are
closely monitored against XVA risk.
The standardised measurement method is also applied to the calculation of capital covering the risk of holding Banking book exposure in foreign
currencies for UniCredit S.p.A. that do not have an approval for FX Risk simulation under Internal Model.
In this respect the FX risk for both Trading and the Banking book is included in VaR and SVaR for Regulatory purposes as for the approved legal
entities (UniCredit Bank AG and UniCredit Bank Austria AG); as regards the managerial view the FX Risk of Banking book is included in the Overall
(Trading book and Banking book) VaR.
UniCredit Internal Model Approach includes the Risk Not In Model Engine framework, that provides an estimate on the completeness of the risk
factors included in VaR, SVaR and IRC. Although RNIME program shows that UniCredit IMA captures adequately the material price risks, since
fourth quarter 2019 UniCredit computes via Stress Test a prudential capital add-on.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 345
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
To sum up, the Internal Model approach is used for Regulatory purposes for UniCredit S.p.A., UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria AG and
UniCredit Bank Austria sub-group, while it is used for all legal entities (including CEE countries) for managerial purposes.
Finally Trading portfolios are subject to Stress tests according to a wide range of simple and complex scenarios. Simple scenarios which envisage
the shock of single asset classes, are defined in the context of Interest Rate Risk/Price Risk/Exchange Rate Risk/Credit Spread Risk Sensitivity.
Complex scenarios apply simultaneous changes on a number of risk factors. Both simple and complex scenarios are applied to the whole Trading
book. Detailed descriptions are included in the paragraph on the Stress test.
Stress tests results are calculated in the Group Market Risk system, thus ensuring a common methodological approach across the Group. Results
are calculated applying a full revaluation approach meaning that all positions are revalued under stressed conditions; no ad hoc models or pricing
functions are applied for stress testing.
According to national regulations, some relevant scenarios are also a matter of regulatory reporting on a quarterly basis.
In addition, a set of scenarios is run monthly on overall Group perimeter, thus covering both Trading and Banking book positions. Results are
discussed monthly in Market Risk Stress Test Open Forum involving Market Risk function’s representatives of all the legal entities and Business’
representatives. Results are analysed in depth in the monthly report “Monthly Overview on Market Stress Test”.
Stress test Warning levels Usage is monitored monthly. More details on Warning Levels and Strategy are given in the previous paragraph Risk
management strategies and processes.
Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
As far as Market Risk is concerned, the abrupt market movements and the increased market volatility triggered by the outbreak of Covid-19 resulted
in a general increase in both managerial and regulatory risk measurement metrics. Consequently, an increase in Internal Model Market Risk RWAs
has been recorded. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic the European Parliament approved an amendment to Regulation (EU) 575/2013 and
(EU) 2019/876, that allows the institutions to exclude for the calculation of the multiplier quantitative addend the overshootings associated to the
exceptional Covid-19 related circumstances, provided that those exceptions do not results from deficiencies in the internal model; this allowed to
reduce the impact in terms of Internal Model Market Risk RWAs. Anyway, the evolution of the crisis and the related risk metrics development is
under strict monitoring by both risk and business functions. The cautious approach adopted in positions management since the beginning of the
crisis resulted in a progressive relief in limits usage.
VaR, SVaR and IRC
Diversified VaR, SVaR and IRC are calculated taking into account the diversification arising from positions taken by different entities within the Imod
perimeter (i.e. for which the use of the internal model for the risk calculation is approved). VaR is however in place for all the Legal Entities and its
value is reported in Managerial VaR section for information purpose.
Starting from March 2020, the VaR sharply increased due to the massive increase of volatility in the markets in different asset classes in the course
of uncertainty around the Coronavirus crisis, instead the higher level on SVaR is driven by the increased exposure in the Trading book in terms of
interest rate risk in UniCredit Bank AG. On the contrary the IRC decreased starting from end of March 2020, due to the joint effect of own credit
spread and reduced bond positions.
While during the second half of 2020, the lower level of VaR and SVaR is mainly due to a decreased exposure in terms of interest rate risk in the
Trading book of UniCredit Bank AG.

In the first half of 2020, there has been an overall increase of VaR figures, mainly due to the massive increase of volatility in the markets in different
asset classes, during uncertainty around the Coronavirus crisis.
During the second quarter 2020 an additional driver to the increased general risk on traded debt instruments is the higher exposure in the Trading
book in terms of Interest Rate Risk, mainly in UniCredit Bank AG.
While in the third and in the fourth quarter of 2020, the general risk on traded debt instruments reduction with respect the previous quarter is mainly
due to a decreased exposure in terms of Interest Rate Risk in the Trading Book of UniCredit Bank AG.
CVA
The CVA charge data values for the Trading book for the Group are reported below (as sum of the individual legal entities charges since the
diversification benefit is not considered). The charge accounts for the credit-spread volatility affecting regulatory CVA. It consists of a VaR figure
computed over the current window (CVA VaR) and a VaR figure computed over a stressed window (CVA SVaR).
For exposures not covered by the CCR Internal model (used to calculate CVA exposure profiles) the standardised approach (SA) is used. The
mitigation of the XVA exposure across UniCredit group "Western Europe" perimeter is managed by a dedicated CVA Desk, whose mandate is to
provide a centralised Front Office service function in Markets with the responsibility for XVA pricing & exposure management for OTC derivatives.
The CVA Desk actively hedges the exposure to risk factors within the prescribed limit framework in UCI S.p.A., UCB AG and UCBA AG.

Due to Coronavirus crisis CVA VaR figures overall increased since Q1 2020. Since April 2020 iTraxx index hedges of the CVA Desk have been
classified as "eligible hedges" according to Art 386 of CRR and thus can be considered in CVA risk charge framework, with a reducing impact on

Qualitative information
Interest rate risk
A. General aspects
Interest rate risk arises from financial positions taken by Group specialist centres holding assigned market risk limits within certain levels of
discretion. Regardless of use of the internal models in calculating capital requirements on market risks, risk positions in the Group are monitored and
subject to limits assigned to the portfolios based on managerial responsibilities and not purely on regulatory criteria.
B. Risk management processes and measurement methods
For both a description of internal processes for monitoring and managing risk and an illustration of the methodologies used to analyse exposure,
also refer to the introduction on internal models.
As regards Stress Test refer to the introduction on Risk Management Strategies and Processes and for the complex scenarios’ description to Stress
Test paragraph.
In addition to the monitoring of Granular Market Limits, Group Market Risk functions conduct sensitivity analysis at least on monthly basis, in order to
determine the effect on the income statement of changes in the value of individual risk factors or several risk factors of the same type.
Additionally to the sensitivity of financial instruments to changes in the underlying risk factor, the sensitivity to the volatility of interest rates is also
calculated assuming positive and negative shifts of 30% in volatility curves or matrices.
Price risk
A. General aspects
Price risk relating to equities, commodities, investment funds and related derivative products included in the Trading book originates from positions
taken by Group specialist centres holding assigned market risk limits within certain levels of discretion.
Price risk deriving from own trading of these instruments is managed using both directional and relative value strategies via direct sale and purchase
of securities, regulated derivatives and OTCs and recourse to security lending. Volatility trading strategies are implemented using options and
complex derivatives
B. Risk management processes and measurement methods
For both a description of internal processes for monitoring and managing risk and an illustration of the methodologies used to analyse exposure,
refer to the introduction on internal models.
As regards stress test refers to the introduction on “Risk management strategies and processes” and for the complex scenarios’ description to the
“Stress test” paragraph.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk sensitivity
Sensitivity to changes in interest rates is determined using both parallel shifts of interest-rate curves, and changes in the curve itself.
The curves are analysed using parallel shifts of ±1bp/±10bps and ±100bps.
For each 1bp shift, sensitivity is calculated for a series of time-buckets. Sensitivity for changes in the steepness of the rate curve is analysed by
clockwise turning (Turn CW), i.e. an increase in short-term rates and a simultaneous fall in long-term rates, and by counter-clockwise turning (Turn
CCW), whereby short-term rates fall and long-term rates rise.
In particular, clockwise and counter-clockwise turning use the following changes in absolute terms:
• +50bps/-50bps for the one-day bucket;
• 0bps for the one-year bucket;
• -50bps/+50bps for the 30-year plus bucket;
• for buckets between the above ones, the change to be set is found by linear interpolation.
The Group also calculates sensitivity to the volatility of Interest Rate assuming a positive shift of 30% or negative change of 30% in volatility curves
or matrixes.

Share-price sensitivity
Share-price sensitivity is expressed in two ways:
• as a “Delta cash-equivalent”, i.e. the euro equivalent of the quantity of the underlying that would expose the bank to the same risk arising from its
actual portfolio;
• as the economic result of a rise or fall in spot prices of 1%, 10% and 20%.
The Delta cash-equivalent and the Delta 1% (i.e. the economic impact of a 1% rise in spot prices) are calculated both for each geographical region
(assuming that all stock markets in the region are perfectly correlated) and on the total (assuming therefore that all stock markets are perfectly
correlated). The sensitivity arising from changes of 10% and 20% is calculated solely on the total.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The Group also calculates sensitivity to the volatility of equities assuming a positive shift of 30% or negative change of 30% in volatility curves or
matrixes.
In addition, sensitivity to commodity price changes is calculated according to the above criteria. Given its secondary importance as compared to
other risk exposures, this is calculated as a single class.

2.2.2 Interest rate risk and price risk - Banking book
Qualitative information
Interest rate risk
A. General aspects, operational processes and methods for measuring interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of changes in interest rates that are reflected in:
• interest income sources, and thus, the bank’s earnings (cash flow risk);
• the net present value of assets and liabilities, due to their impact on the present value of future cash flows (fair value risk).
The Group measures and monitors this risk within the framework of a Banking Book interest rate risk policy that establishes consistent
methodologies and models and limits or thresholds to focus on, with regard to the sensitivity of net interest income and the Group’s economic value.
Interest rate risk has an impact on all owned positions resulting from business operations and strategic investment decisions (Banking Book).
The main sources of interest rate risk can be classified as follows:
• gap risk: it arises from the term structure of banking book instruments, and describes the risk arising from the timing of instrument rate changes.
The extent of gap risk depends also on whether changes to the term structure of interest rates occur consistently across the yield curve (parallel
risk) or differentially by period (non-parallel risk). Gap risk also encompasses: Repricing risk, defined as the risk of changes in interest rate earned
at the time a financial contract’s rate is reset. It emerges if interest rates are settled on liabilities for periods which differ from those on offsetting
assets. Repricing risk also refers to the Yield curve risk, occurring when a shift in the yield curve affects the values of interest rate sensitive assets
and interest rate bearing liabilities;
• basis risk can be broken down in:
- tenor risk: resulting from the imperfect correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different instruments with otherwise similar
rate change characteristics;
- currency risk: defined as the risk of potentially offsetting interest rate sensitivities arising from interest rate exposures in several currencies;
• option risk: risk resulting from option derivative positions or from the optional elements embedded in many bank positions, where the bank or its
customers can alter the level and timing of their cash flows.
Limits and threshold are defined in terms of Sensitivity for each Group Bank or Company. The set of metrics is defined depending on the level of
sophistication of the Company’s business.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Each of the Group’s banks or companies assumes responsibility for managing exposure to interest rate risk within its specified limits. At
consolidated level, the functions of Group Risk Management is in charge of interest rate risk measurement.
Interest rate risk measurement includes:
• Net Interest Income analysis: involves a constant balance sheet analysis (i.e. assuming that positions remain constant during the period), an
impact simulation on interest income for the current period is performed, by taking into account elasticity assumptions for sight items. In addition a
simulation analysis includes the study of the impact on income from different shocks for the interest rates. Reference shock for a rate rise scenario
is an instantaneous and parallel shock of +100bp. While the shock for the rate fall scenario is -100bps or smaller depending on the interest rate
levels on different currencies. Further scenarios are performed to take into account basis risk and non-parallel shifts.
• Economic Value analysis: this includes the calculation of duration measures, value sensitivities of the balance sheet for different points on the
curve, as well as the impact on the Economic Value from larger shocks, e.g. a 200bp parallel shift and other parallel and non-parallels shocks,
including the one required by the EBA guidelines (EBA/GL/2018/02).
The interest rate risk is monitored in terms of Economic value sensitivity for an instantaneous and parallel shock of +1 basis point value of the
interest rate term structure. The function responsible for interest rate risk management verifies the limit usage of 1 basis point value sensitivity on a
daily basis. Basis risk and the risk of optionality are also considered through the relative metrics of “IR Basis” and “IR Vega”. On a monthly basis the
Economic Value sensitivity for larger parallel and non-parallel shocks in the interest rate term structure and Net Interest Income Sensitivity are
measured.
The Treasury hedges interest rate risk exposure from commercial transactions. The Treasury interest rate risk exposure is monitored through a set
of limits and threshold levels. The same holds for the overall interest rate exposure of the bank, taking into account also the strategic investment
positions of the bank, e.g. transactions not directly related to hedging the commercial business.
Price risk
A. General aspects, operational processes and methods for measuring price risk
Banking Book price risk primarily originates from equity interests held by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries as stable investments, as well as
units in mutual investment funds not included in the Trading Book as they are also held as stable investments.
As regards Stress Test refer to the introduction on Risk Management Strategies and Processes paragraph and for the complex scenarios’
description to Stress Test paragraph.

2. Banking book: internal models and other methods for sensitivity analysis
Interest rate risk
As of 31 December 2020, the interest income sensitivity to an immediate and parallel shift of +100bps was +€1,116 million, whilst the immediate
change to a parallel downward shift of interest rate of -100bp (or less, according to the interest rates level of each currency) was equal to -€351
million.
The sensitivity of the economic value of shareholders’ equity to an immediate and parallel change in interest rates (“parallel shift”) of +200bps and -
200bp was respectively equal to -€28 million and -€1,191 million. The sensitivity to interest rates changes for the worst-of-six “Supervisory Outlier
Test”, as envisioned by EBA guideline (EBA/GL/2018/02) was equal to -€1,137 million.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
2.2.3 Exchange rate risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, risk management processes and measurement methods
Exchange rate risk originates both from banks in the Group operating in currency areas other than the Eurozone and from positions taken by
specialist centres holding the Group's market risk within the limits assigned.
Risk deriving from own trading of these instruments is managed using both directional and relative value strategies via direct sale and purchase of
securities, regulated derivatives and OTC. Volatility trading strategies are implemented using options. Exchange rate risk is constantly monitored
and measured by using internal models developed by Group companies.
For both a description of internal processes for monitoring and managing risk and an illustration of the methodologies used to analyse exposure,
refer to the introduction on internal models. These models are also used to calculate capital requirements on market risks due to the exposure to
such risk.
As regards stress test refer to the introduction on “Risk management strategies and processes” paragraph and for the complex scenarios’
description to “Stress test” paragraph.
B. Hedging exchange rate risk
The exchange risk hedging activity within the Trading book is aimed at keeping the FX risk within the defined Granular and Global limits.
Regarding banking book the Group adopts hedge strategies for profits and dividends arising from its subsidiaries not belonging to the euro zone,
taking into account market circumstances for the hedging strategies.

2. Internal models and other methodologies for sensitivity analysis
Transactional FX risk (impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on the Group’s Profit & Loss in the period) measurement and reporting is part
of the Group´s market risk framework.
In UGRM, transactional exchange risk exposures are incorporated in the relevant risk calculation, limit monitoring and reporting. Every Legal Entity
is required to setup, as part of the respective Market Risk framework, a sound limit system for managing and controlling Transactional Exchange
Risk. As a minimum requirement, the limit system shall envisage FX Delta limits for the main currencies which the business is exposed to or for
aggregation of currencies.
FX Delta limits are part of the Granular Market Risk Limits and are ruled by the Group Policy “Market Risk Limits”.
Credit spread risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects
Risk relating to credit spreads and related credit derivative products included in Trading book originates from positions taken by Group specialist
centres holding assigned market risk limits within certain levels of discretion.
Risk deriving from own trading of these instruments is managed using both directional and relative value strategies via direct sale and purchase of
securities, regulated derivatives and OTC.
B. Risk management processes and measurement methods
For both a description of internal processes for monitoring and managing risk and an illustration of the methodologies used to analyse exposure,
refer to introduction on internal models.
As regards stress Test refer to the introduction on “Risk management strategies and processes” and for the complex scenarios’ description to
“Stress test” paragraph.
Quantitative information
Credit spread sensitivity
Credit spread sensitivity is calculated by assuming a worsening of creditworthiness seen in a parallel shift of +1bp/+10bp/+100bps in the credit
spread curves.
These sensitivities are calculated both inclusively, assuming a parallel shift of all the credit spread curves, and in respect of specific rating classes
and economic sectors.

Stress test
Stress tests complement the sensitivity analysis and VaR results in order to assess the potential risks in a different way. A stress test performs the
evaluation of a portfolio under both simple scenarios (assuming change to single risk factors) and complex scenarios (assuming simultaneous
changes in a number of risk factors).
The description of complex scenarios, which combine changes in interest rate, price, exchange-rate and credit spread risk factors is reported below.
For the description of simple scenarios, refer to the previous paragraphs.
As far as complex scenarios are concerned, different scenarios have been applied to the whole Group Trading Book on a monthly basis and
reported to the Top Management.
Pandemic Scenario
In this scenario, we assume that Europe will face a further wave of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021, while the US will have to deal with a
persistently high number of infections that will force the new administration to introduce tight restrictions to mobility and business activity. Economies
start reopening in spring 2021 as milder weather conditions allow governments to relax some of the containment measures. However, the roll-out of
vaccines is slower than assumed in the baseline scenario, possibly because a large share of the population is reluctant to get their shot.
Therefore, herd immunity is only reached towards the end of the three-year forecasting horizon.
After contracting by about 7.5% in 2020, eurozone GDP would increase by 1.5% in 2021 (-3.5pp compared to baseline), followed by an expansion of
3% in 2022 (+0.3pp) and 2.1% in 2023 (-0.1pp).
By the end of 2023, eurozone GDP would remain below its pre-crisis level.
Demand weakness prevails over supply-side disruption, leading to a widening of the output gap compared to the baseline scenario. Together with
lower oil prices, this puts downward pressure on inflation, starting from already weak levels envisaged in the baseline. Throughout the forecasting
horizon, headline inflation fluctuates within a 0.5-1.5% range, which is below the tolerance threshold of the ECB.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Monetary policy responds to the deterioration in the outlook for growth and inflation and to any potential threat to the transmission mechanisms of
monetary policy. We assume that the ECB does not cut the depo rate as the central bank judges that the negative impact on banks’ profitability in
such environment would outweigh the positive effects of a rate cut on the real economy. Therefore, it is assumed that all the burden of the additional
monetary expansion will be on asset purchases, most probably through a big increase of the envelope of the Pandemic Emergency Purchase
Programme (PEPP), and on TLTRO. Favorable conditions for TLTRO III are likely to remain in place throughout 2023 to preserve low funding costs
for the banking sector.
The shock would lead to deteriorating market sentiment. As a result, we assume richening of core sovereign bonds relative to swaps and more in
general wider credit spreads, both for weaker sovereigns and for corporates (around 100bp for Auto and Industrials while 40bp for Pharma and
Telecom). Equity markets are expected to come under pressure as well, with drawdowns of 15/20%. Because of the central bank reaction, we
expect that part of the initial shock would be reabsorbed during the first year.
In FX, the EUR-USD would decline by 8% as soon as the shock materializes, to recover some ground over the exercise horizon. We also expect the
EUR-CHF to decline, but by a more moderate 2%.
In both cases, FX moves would reflect the deterioration in risk appetite.
Pandemic & Sovereign Tensions
In this scenario, we assume that Europe will face a further wave of the pandemic at the beginning of 2021, while the US will have to deal with a
persistently high number of infections that will force the new administration to introduce tight restrictions to mobility and business activity. The roll-out
of vaccines takes longer and is substantially less effective than assumed in the baseline scenario. Governments will have no choice but to continue
to push ahead with strongly expansionary policies to mitigate the pace of job-shedding, to slow the rise in corporate defaults and to preserve social
stability. The ECB is expected to remain in the market with the PEPP and TLTRO with generous conditions throughout the three-year horizon.
Despite ongoing large-scale ECB intervention, the further build-up of public sector debt and prospects of a slow recovery put downward pressure on
the sovereign rating of the weakest eurozone countries.
In this context, after contracting by about 7.5% in 2020, eurozone GDP would stagnate in 2021 (-5pp compared to baseline), followed by an
expansion of only 1.5% in 2022 (1.2pp) and 2.0% in 2023 (-0.2pp). By the end of 2023, no eurozone country would recover its pre-crisis level of
economic activity.
Demand weakness clearly prevails over supply-side disruption, leading to a widening of the output gap which, together with lower oil prices, puts
material downward pressure on inflation, starting from already weak levels envisaged in the baseline scenario. In 2021, headline inflation settles at
just above zero percent, while in 2022-23 the inflation recovery remains very shallow, hardly exceeding 1%. This is well below any tolerance
threshold of the ECB.
Monetary policy responds forcefully to the deterioration in the outlook for growth and inflation, and to the rising risks to the transmission mechanisms
of monetary policy as sovereign stress pushes spreads wider. We assume that the ECB does not cut the depo rate as the central bank judges that
the negative impact on banks’ profitability in such environment would outweigh the positive effects of a rate cut on the real economy. Therefore, it is
assumed that all the burden of the additional monetary expansion will be on asset purchases, most probably through a big increase of the envelope
of the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP), and on TLTRO. With its flexibility, the PEPP is the ideal tool to face a combination of
negative macro developments coupled with intensification of sovereign stress. Given that the ECB remains fully committed to preserving a
reasonably smooth functioning of the transmission mechanism, it is assumed that front-loading of purchases after a rating shock allows bringing the
BTP-Bund spread down to an acceptable level that is consistent with such transmission not being derailed. Favorable conditions for TLTRO III are
likely to remain in place throughout 2023 to preserve low funding costs for the banking sector.
The shock would lead to deteriorating market sentiment. As a result, we assume richening of core sovereign bonds relative to swaps and more in
general wider credit spreads, both for weaker sovereigns and for corporates (around 200bp for Auto and Industrials while 80bp for Pharma and
Telecom). Equity markets are expected to come under pressure as well, with drawdowns of 30/40%. Because of the central bank reaction, we
expect that part of the initial shock would be reabsorbed during the first year.
In FX, the EUR-USD would decline by 15% as soon as the shock materializes, to recover some ground over the exercise horizon. We also expect
the EUR-CHF to decline, but by a more moderate 4%.
In both cases, FX moves would reflect the deterioration in risk appetite.

Conditional losses of Managerial Trading Book, as defined above, have been reported. Conditional losses are mainly coming from UCB AG and are
driven by CIB Equity and Commodity Trade business line in all scenarios, due to negative shocks on Equities. In UniCredit S.p.A. conditional losses
are mainly driven by CIB Fixed Income & Currencies business line due to widening of Italian Government Credit Spread. Conditional losses in RC
CEE are mainly due to widening of Credit Spread for local Governments.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
2.3.2 Hedging policies
Qualitative information
Hedging derivative transactions are used to manage the exposure to market risks and volatility of financial outcomes that arise as part of our normal
business operations and are executed in accordance with internal policies.
Derivatives are mainly used to manage of the banking book interest rate risk with the following goals:
• to reduce banking book interest rate risk profile according to Risk Appetite Framework approved by the Board of Directors and limits defined by
relevant Committees or risk functions. Within Risk Appetite Framework, the banking book exposure to interest rate risk is defined either in terms of
Net Interest Income Sensitivity or Economic Value Sensitivity;
• to optimise the natural hedge between the risk profile of assets and liabilities using derivatives to manage the mismatch, even temporary, between
the volume and the rates of assets and liabilities with different repricing schedules;
• to minimise the net exposure of derivatives used as economic hedges of the most stable portion of either assets or liabilities subject to hedge
accounting, thereby reducing the associated transaction cost.
A Fair value hedging activities
The objective of fair value hedge on assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value coming from the embedded risk factor subject
to a hedging transaction.
The fair value hedge is applied both for identified financial instruments (securities, debt issues, loans, borrowings) and for portfolios of financial
instruments (in particular, fixed rate loans and non-maturity deposits or other fixed rate liabilities).
The hedging relationship is classified at the inception of the hedge by identifying the portion and type of risk to be hedged (partial term hedge), the
hedging strategy, the hedging instrument, and the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
The hedging strategy on identified financial instruments classified as Held-to-Collect (HTC) and Held-to-Collect & Sell (HTCS) considers the
contractual features of each instruments and business intent.
The hedging strategy on portfolios of financial instruments refers to the amounts of money contained in the portfolio of interest rate exposures that
are not already subject to "micro/specific" hedging and mirrors to the nominal amount and financial conditions of hedging derivatives.
The objective of fair value hedge on assets/liabilities denominated in foreign currency could refer to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value by
converting to Euro denominated assets/liabilities.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps, basis swaps, caps, floors, and cross currencies swaps.
B. Cash flow hedging activities
The objective of cash flow hedge on floating rate assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in cash flows from borrowings/lending that
bear a floating interest rate.
The hedging relationship is classified at the inception of the hedge by identifying the portion and type of risk to be hedged (partial term hedge), the
hedging strategy, the hedging instrument, and the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
Cash flow hedges are particularly used to hedge interest rate risk on floating-rate assets and liabilities, including rollovers, and foreign exchange
risks on highly probable forecast foreign currency revenues.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, cross-currency swaps with a maturity up to 20-30 years for some
commercial hedged assets.
C. Foreign net investments hedge activities
No hedging strategy is in place on an investment in entities whose functional currency differs from the Group’s functional currency.
The Group put in place some economic hedges on forecasted foreign currency revenues stemming from those entities. The objective of the
economic hedge is to reduce the volatility on the income statement coming from the foreign exchange risks. FX risk on forecasted foreign currency
revenues is continuously monitored and hedging strategies are periodically assessed. The hedging strategy and the percentage to be hedged is
defined on a case by case basis considering, inter alia, the diversification effect and taking into account the volatility and correlation in the FX rates.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 365
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The derivatives used mainly consist of currency options. These derivatives may not or should not qualify for hedge accounting even though achieve
substantially the same economic results. The impact of economic hedge is accounted in Item 80 - Trading Income line.
D. Hedging instruments and E. Hedged elements
Prospective hedge effectiveness is established by the fact that all derivatives must, at inception, have the effect of reducing interest rate risk in term
of Economic Value Sensitivity (Fair Value Hedge) or Net Interest Income Sensitivity (Cash Flow Hedge) in the specific/portfolio of hedged
underlyings.
Retrospectively the hedge effectiveness is quarterly measured by referring to the most stable portion of assets/liabilities using a portfolio hedge
approach or by referring to the portion of risk being hedged using a micro/specific approach.
Sources of ineffectiveness comes from (i) the Euribor vs Eonia/€STER basis for hedging derivatives transactions subject to a collateral agreement,
(ii) Credit/Debit Value and Funding Value adjustment impacting derivative transactions fair values, (iii) shortfall arising in the underlying’s specifically
associated with that hedge in term of nominal or reverse sensitivity due to prepayment or default on commercial assets or withdrawals on liabilities
included such as commercial non-maturity deposits and are presented in Item 90 - Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting.

2.4 Liquidity risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, operational processes and methods for measuring liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group may find itself unable to fulfil its expected or unexpected payment obligations (by cash or delivery),
current and future, without jeopardising its day-to day operations or its financial condition.
The key principles
The liquidity reference banks
The Group aims at maintaining liquidity at a level that enables to fund its operations at the best rate conditions under normal operating
circumstances, and to remain always in a position to meet payment obligations.
To this end, the Group complies accurately with the legal and regulatory provisions imposed by the national Central Banks and by the national
authorities of each country where it operates.
In addition to local legal and regulatory requirements, the Parent Company, under the responsibility of the Group Risk Management, defines policies
and metrics to be applied at Group level, to ensure that liquidity position of any entity meets the requirements of the Group.
For these reasons, the Group is organised on a managerial perspective, according to the concept of the liquidity reference bank.
The liquidity reference banks are legal entities that act in their responsibility as liquidity hub. They are in charge:
• of the liquidity management and concentration process of liquidity flows of the legal entities falling within their perimeter of responsibility;
• of the funding optimisation carried out on the relevant local markets and are responsible to coordinate the access to short-term and medium long-
term markets of the legal entities belonging to their perimeter;
• finally, of the implementation of the Group’s liquidity rules at local level in line with Group’s Governance Guideline and Policy and with local
regulations.
A particularly important role is played by the Parent Company, as a “supervisory and overarching liquidity reference bank” with its role of steering,
coordinating, and controlling all the aspects regarding liquidity for the whole Group. The Parent Company has the responsibility to set the overall
Group risk appetite and sub-allocate the limits in agreement with the liquidity reference banks and/or legal entities.
In particular, the Parent Company functions are responsible for the following:
• outlining Group overall liquidity risk management strategies;
• developing liquidity risk metrics and methodologies;
• setting specific limits for liquidity risk exposures, in line with the Group risk appetite;
• optimising liquidity allocation amongst legal entities, in compliance to the local regulations and transferability limitation;
• coordinating access to financial markets for liquidity management;
• outlining the yearly Group funding and contingency funding plan, coordinating and monitoring their execution;
• assessing the adequacy of the liquidity reserves buffers at legal entity and Group level;
• coordinating the refinancing transactions with the ECB;
• defining, periodically reviewing the Group ILAAP and approving the Group ILAAP Report on yearly basis.
• the Parent Company, moreover, acts as the liquidity reference bank for the Italian perimeter.
The principle of “self-sufficiency”
This organisational model allows self-sufficiency of the Group by accessing the local and global markets for liquidity in a controlled and coordinated
way. According to Group Policies, structural liquidity surpluses can be up streamed to the Parent Company, unless legal requirements prevent it.
The liquidity available at country level could be subject to restrictions due to legal, regulatory and political constraints. The so called “Large Exposure
Regime”, applied throughout Europe, along with specific national laws like the “German Stock Corporation Act”, are examples of legal constraints to
the free circulation of funds within a cross-border banking Group42.
As a general principle, the large exposure regime, which came into force on 31 December 2010, limits interbank exposures to a maximum of 25% of
Own Funds: this rule is also applicable to intra-group exposures. However, there are significant differences in the way in which this EU regulation
has been implemented in the various countries. In many CEE countries the limit of 25% of free funds is valid, with some countries showing even
stricter rules; in Austria, according to the National law, the 25% of Own Funds limit is not applied to exposures towards the Parent Company, if
located in the European Economic Area; finally, in Germany the national Regulator has set up a process to apply for a waiver, exempting intra-group
exposures from the large exposure limitation.
42 Also Banca d’Italia Rules, Circular 285, foresees that the Group should ensure the maintenance through the time of adequate reserves in each legal entity, in order to take into account possible regulatory constraints
(First Part, Title IV, Chapter 6, Section III, paragraph 7).

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In the absence of official limits valid at national level, Austrian and German Regulators reserve the right to judge the exposure level on a case-by-
case basis. In the current economic environment, in many of the territories in which the Group operates, Banking Regulatory Authorities are
adopting measures aimed at reducing the exposure of their national banking system towards foreign jurisdictions with potential negative impacts on
the ability of the Group to finance its activities.
For these reasons, the “Liquidity management & control group policy” provides for a further principle in order to enhance a sound liquidity risk
management; each legal entity with market access has to increase its liquidity self-sufficiency, fostering in this way the exploitation of its strengths.
In addition, the Group rule states that each LE (including the liquidity reference bank) should be self-sufficient in terms of liquidity in its local
currency, either on its own or by leveraging on the relevant liquidity reference bank. This self-sufficiency principle is reflected in a specific “limit
structure”: limits are set both at Group and at individual level, with the purpose of avoiding/controlling significant imbalances among legal entities.
This type of organisation promotes the self-sufficiency of the legal entities, by allowing them to access the local and global markets for liquidity in a
controlled and coordinated way, whilst optimising: i) the liquidity surpluses and deficits within the Group’s legal entities ii) the overall costs of funding
across the Group.
The adoption of the Single Point of Entry by the Group implies that the Holding provides internal MREL to all the other subsidiaries within Europe,
representing the only exception to the self-sufficiency principle.
Roles and responsibilities
At Group level, three main functions are identified in the management of the liquidity: the Group Risk Management competence line, the Group
Financial Office competence line, and the Treasury function (within the “Markets” Business Unit), each with different roles and responsibilities. In
particular, the operational responsibilities reside in the Finance and the Treasury functions, while the Risk Management function has responsibilities
of independent controls and independent reporting compared to the operational functions (in line with the current requirements of Banca d’Italia).
Specifically, the Risk Management function is responsible for the independent control of liquidity risk and of balance sheet interest rate and FX risk
at Group level and for the internal and regulatory stress testing. In detail:
• defining policies and methodologies for measuring and controlling the liquidity risk and developing, updating and presenting the independent
internal risk reports/assessments to internal competent functions (second level controls);
• putting in place a strong and comprehensive internal limit and control framework to mitigate or limit the liquidity risk in line with the risk tolerance in
order to monitor the different material drivers of liquidity risk;
• contributing to the setting of the risk appetite framework;
• assessing and monitoring liquidity risk exposure trends at Group and Country level and confronting them with the respective limits and triggers;
• verifying the correct implementation of the agreed mapping rules;
• performing an independent assessment of the Funding Plan and of the Contingency Funding Plan as well as monitoring their execution;
• developing and performing the liquidity stress test at Group level, analysing the outcome, delineating new scenarios to be taken into account and
centralising the action plan relating to the stress test results; it is also responsible of periodically reviewing the liquidity stress test framework;
• monitoring the liquidity risk and producing regular risk reporting at Group level in alignment with Basel Committee’s “Principles for effective risk
data aggregation and risk reporting”, setting common standards in terms of presentations and communications.
• performing internal validation activities at Group level on systems for measuring liquidity risks on related processes and data quality and IT
components, as well as on models for pricing financial instruments in order to check that they are conform to regulatory requirements and in-house
standards;
• developing and back testing the behavioural models for the measurement of the liquidity risk;
• validating, controlling the implementation and releases independent assessments on the models to map the liquidity profile of balance sheet items
(i.e. deposit stickiness, prepayment, behavioral models, etc.).
Group Treasury acts as main coordinator in the management of infra-group flows, stemming from liquidity deficits or surplus of the various Group’s
legal entities, and applies the appropriate transfer prices to such funds movements. By doing so, Group Treasury ensures a disciplined and efficient
access to the markets.
Group Financial Office competence line is responsible for the coordination of the overall financial planning process at Group, liquidity reference
banks and relevant Legal Entities level, aiming to efficiently ensure the stability and the sustainability of the financial structure through time,
addressing assets and liabilities composition and maturities, in compliance with the limits and triggers set for liquidity and balance sheet metrics. It is
also responsible for the execution of the medium long term Group’s funding strategy (including securitisation operations), coordinating the access to
national and international capital markets for all the liquidity reference banks and relevant Legal Entities, exploiting local market opportunities in
order to reduce the costs of funding and diversify the financing sources. In addition to this, the function performs first level controls on liquidity
positions managed by Group Finance and Group Treasury aimed at ensuring the proper P&L and liquidity workflow of the operations and defines
conditions and rules for transfer price application.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
All the relevant issues that concern the liquidity risk and management perspective of the Group are discussed in GALCO (Group assets & liabilities
committee). The main responsibilities of GALCO are:
• participating by advising and proposing the definition of the strategies, policies, methodologies and limits for liquidity risk, fund transfer pricing,
funding plan and contingency funding plan;
• contributing to the definition of the Risk Appetite in terms of thresholds for liquidity risk, interest rate risk of the banking book and FX risk;
• optimising the liquidity risk profile of the Group within the defined limits;
• controlling the liquidity risk, including the periodical reports that have to be delivered to regulators;
• approving and validate the liquidity stress test scenarios and the related assumptions;
• approving the ILAAP proposal and the regulatory reporting to be submitted to Group risk & internal control committee (GR&ICC);
• approving the operational strategies for the evolution of the balance sheet and the application of fund transfer price for the Italian perimeter.
The optimisation of liquidity risks is pursued through the setting of specific limits on the standard banking activity of transforming short, medium and
long-term maturities. This is implemented in accordance with legal and regulatory framework in each country and internal rules and policies of the
Group companies through management models in place within the individual liquidity reference banks.
Such models are subject to analyses carried out by the local Risk Management or equivalent structure with the same responsibilities in coordination
with the Group’s Risk Management to ensure that they comply with the metrics and the objectives of the Group’s liquidity framework.
In addition, the regional rules must comply with national laws and regulatory requirements.
Risk measurement and reporting systems
Techniques for risk measurement
The different types of liquidity risk managed by the bank are:
• short term liquidity risk refers to the risk of non-conformity between the amounts and/or the maturities of cash inflows and cash outflows in the
short term (below one year);
• market liquidity risk is the risk that the bank may face a considerable (and unfavourable) price change generated by exogenous or endogenous
factors and incur losses because of the sale of assets deemed to be liquid. In the worst case, the bank might not be able to liquidate such
positions;
• intraday liquidity risk appears when a bank is not able "to meet payment and settlement obligations on a timely manner basis under both normal
and stressed conditions";
• structural liquidity risk is defined as the inability to raise the necessary funds to maintain an adequate ratio between medium to long-term (over one
year) assets and liabilities at reasonable pricing level, in a stable and sustainable way, without affecting the daily operations or the financial
condition of the Bank. It could have a potential impact on the cost of funding (own credit and market funding spreads), affecting future income of
the institution;
• contingency risk, or stress liquidity relates to future and unexpected obligations (i. e. draw on committed facilities, deposits withdrawal, increase in
collateral pledging) and could require the bank a greater amount of liquidity compared to what is considered the amount to run the ordinary
business;
• intragroup liquidity risk, that might generate from an excessive exposure or dependency towards/from specific Group counterparts;
• funding concentration risk arises when the bank leverages on such a limited number of funding sources, that they become of such significance
that the withdrawal of one or few could trigger liquidity problems;
• foreign exchange liquidity risk, generated by the current and projected liquidity mismatch between cash inflows and cash outflows in foreign
currencies (refinancing risk) or related with the maturity distribution of the assets and liabilities in foreign currencies (foreign currency structural
mismatch risk).
The exposure of the Group and its legal entities to any of these risks is measured by associating to any of them a metric or a set of metrics. Every
legal entity of the Group is exposed to the above-mentioned risks at a different extent: a materiality analysis is performed in order to define the
perimeter of the liquidity risk management and control.
Liquidity risk, for its particular nature, is addressed by means of gap analyses, liquidity stress testing, and complementary measures (mainly through
a set of indicators, among which: loans to deposits gap, liquidity coverage ratio). In particular, gap analyses are performed within two distinct time
horizons:
• liquidity imbalance mismatch approach on a daily basis, which controls the short-term liquidity risk arising from the overnight up to 12 months
maturity;
• gap ratios on a monthly basis, which control the medium to long-term risk (structural liquidity) from the 1-year maturity onwards.

Strategies and processes to manage the liquidity risk
The Group’s liquidity framework is based upon the Liquidity Risk Mismatch Model which is characterised by the following fundamental principles:
• short-term liquidity risk management (operational liquidity), which considers the events that will impact upon the Group’s liquidity position from 1
day up to one year. The primary objective is to maintain the Group’s capacity to fulfil its ordinary and extraordinary payment obligations while
minimising the relevant costs.
• structural liquidity risk management (structural risk), which considers the events that will impact upon the Group’s liquidity position over one year.
The primary objective is to maintain an adequate ratio between medium/long term liabilities and medium to long-term assets, with a view to avoid
pressures on short-term funding sources (both current and future), while in the meantime optimising the cost of funding;
• stress tests: Liquidity risk is a low probability, high impact event. Therefore, stress testing is an excellent tool to reveal potential vulnerabilities in
the balance sheet. The Bank uses several scenarios ranging from general market crisis to idiosyncratic crisis, and a combination hereof.
In this context, the Parent Company takes into account all assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet positions and also both present and future events
which generate certain or potential cash flows for the Group, thereby protecting the Group Banks/Companies from risks relating to the
transformation of maturity.
In addition, the liquidity risk is included in the Group’s risk appetite framework through some specific liquidity indicators.
Short-term liquidity management
Short-term liquidity management aims at ensuring that the Group remains in a position to fulfil its cash payment obligations, whether expected or
unexpected, focused on the exposure for the first 12 months.
The standard measures taken for such purposes are the following:
• management of the access to payment systems (operational liquidity management);
• management of cash payments to be made and monitoring of the level of liquidity reserves and the extent of their utilisation (analysis and active
management of the maturity ladder).
These principles are applicable at Group level and must be used across the liquidity reference banks.
The operative maturity ladder is composed by the net contractual cash flows (in/outflows) affecting the cash position at Central Banks or “Nostro
Account”. Therefore, these flows impact directly the “core liquidity” of the bank, over pre-defined time buckets.
The operative maturity ladder is composed of the following building-blocks:
• primary gap, which shows the net wholesale refinancing requirements over the various time-buckets of the horizon.
• counterbalancing capacity, which shows the amount of unencumbered securities that are accepted as collateral by Central Banks and/or market
counterparties. The counterbalancing capacity is considered at its “liquidity value” (i.e. the market value minus the applicable haircut).
• cumulative gap, which is the sum of the previous components;
• reservation for unexpected flows, which consists of liquidity adjustment to the operative maturity ladder, to consider a buffer that can be used by
the Treasury to refinance unexpected outflows impacting the Central Bank position (included in the short-term buckets). The reservation for
unexpected flows takes into account the volatility of the funding needs of the commercial asset portfolio, the volatility of the commercial funding
sources, including potential concentration effects, the change of liquidity value of the counterbalancing capacity due to observed market price
changes.
The operative maturity ladder is included in the Group risk appetite framework, with a limit of 0 on the 3 months bucket.
The Group also adopts the cash horizon as a synthetic indicator of the short-term liquidity risk levels. The cash horizon identifies the number of days
after which the relevant entity is no longer able to meet its liquidity obligations as expressed in the operative maturity ladder, after having exhausted
the available counterbalancing capacity.
Structural liquidity management
The Group’s structural liquidity management aims at limiting refinancing exposures above one year and thus reducing refinancing needs in the
shorter term. The maintenance of an adequate ratio between medium to long-term liabilities and assets aims at avoiding pressures on short-term
sources, whether present or future.
The standard measures taken for such purposes are the following:
• the spreading of the maturity of funding operations in order to reduce the usage of less stable funding sources, while in the meantime optimizing
the cost of funding (integrated management of strategic liquidity and tactical liquidity);
• the financing of growth through strategic funding activities, setting the most appropriate maturities (yearly funding plan);
• the balancing of medium/to long-term wholesale funding requirements with the need to minimise costs, by diversifying sources, national markets,
currencies of issuance and instruments used (realisation of the yearly funding plan).
The main metric used to measure the medium/long-term position is the net stable funding ratio, as described by Basel 3, until June 2021 where
CRR2 will enter into force.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In general, the net stable funding ratio is calculated as the ratio between liabilities and assets. All the balance sheet items are mapped according to
their contractual maturity. In addition, they are assigned a weight that reflect, for the liabilities, their stability within the balance sheet and, for the
assets, the portion that is rolled-over by the bank or that, more in general, cannot be traded on the market in exchange of liquidity that would
generate relief to the institution. The internal limit set at 102.5% per 2021 means that stable liabilities have to fully cover the requirements of funding
generated by the assets.
A key structural metric, aimed at measuring the funding needs originated from the commercial activity of the Bank, is the funding gap (an improved
loans-to-deposits gap). It measures the need of funding, the bank has to finance on the wholesale market. The indicator is integrated in the risk
appetite framework with the aim of monitoring and managing the level of funding coverage of net loans to customers, coming from funding sources
not exclusively obtained through Treasury/Finance activity.
Liquidity under stress
Stress testing is a risk management technique used to evaluate the potential effects on an institution’s financial condition of a specific event and/or
movement in a set of financial variables. As a forward-looking tool, liquidity stress testing diagnostics the institution’s liquidity risk. In particular the
results of the stress tests are used to:
• determine liquidity limits both in quantitative and qualitative terms;
• plan and carry out alternative funding transactions for purposes of off-setting liquidity outflows;
• structure/modify the liquidity profile of the Group’s assets;
• provide support to the development of the liquidity contingency plan.
In order to execute stress tests that are consistent across the liquidity reference banks, the Group has a centralised approach to stress testing,
requiring each local liquidity reference bank to run the same scenario set under the coordination of the Group risk management. The Group runs
liquidity scenarios and sensitivity analyses on a regular basis, the latter by assessing the impact on an institution's financial condition of a move in
one particular risk factor, whereas scenario tests tend to consider the impact of simultaneous moves in a number of risk factors, based on a
hypothetical, well defined and consistent stress scenario.
The Group identifies three different types of potential liquidity crisis:
• market (systemic, global or sector): market downturn scenario. This scenario consists of a sudden turmoil in a monetary and capital market, which
may be caused by closure (or limited access) to market/settlement system, critical political events, country crisis, credit crunch, etc.;
• specific to the Group, or part of it (idiosyncratic): name crisis; the assumptions could be operational risk, events relating to the worsened
perception of the Group reputational risk and a downgrade in UniCredit S.p.A. rating or other Group legal entities;
• a combination of market and specific crisis: combined scenario.
These scenarios are expected to cause a substantial reduction in the funding coming from rating-sensitive customers, CD/CPs’ investors and inter-
bank markets. In addition, a possible usage of the undrawn portion of the committed lines is considered.
The combined scenario is defined as a general negative development in the market environment and also as a factual or market-hypothesised
problem specific to the Group.
In 2020 the Group liquidity stress test result on the combined scenario was always positive.
In addition to the internal stress test, the bank adopts and also monitors the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), calculated in accordance with the
provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/322 in force from 1 October 2016 as amended by DR (EU) 2018/1620. It is the ratio between the
high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) and the net cash outflows expected over the coming 30 days, under stress test conditions. The compliance with
this regulatory requirement is constantly monitored by setting, in the risk appetite framework, internal limitations above the binding minimum level of
100%.
Among the liquidity outflows that occur in a stress scenario, the bank monitors on a monthly basis the impact in terms of additionally required
collaterals that the bank may be required to provide given a downgrade of its own credit rating. For this purpose, all the relevant rating agencies are
considered. The testing is carried out on a legal entity level, but consolidated reporting is available to analyse the impact on group wide basis.
Specific attention is dedicated to exposures towards special purpose vehicles (SPV).
At Group level the amount of material outflows due to deterioration of own credit quality, included in the components of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio,
amount to €7,923 million as at 31 December 2020.

Risk mitigation
Monitoring and reporting
In the Group the governance and control of liquidity risk is mainly performed through the setting and monitoring of operating restrictions managerial
and regulatory aimed at preventing potential vulnerabilities in the bank's ability to meet its cash flow obligations that are embedded in risk metrics
limits or warning/trigger levels.
The short-term liquidity limits are monitored and reported daily. The structural liquidity ratios and their exposure against limits are monitored and
reported monthly. The survival period and the result of the liquidity stress test are reported and monitored on a weekly basis.
In case of limit breach or warning level activation at Group level, the Group risk management function investigates the rationale of the events,
triggering the proper escalation and reporting them to the relevant committees.
Mitigation factors
Liquidity risk is considered a relevant risk category for the risk appetite determination of the Group. The practices and processes are included in the
“Liquidity management & control Group policy”, that defines the principles that the Parent Company and the legal entities have to apply for hedging
and mitigating this risk and the roles to be interpreted by the different committees and functions.
Additionally, to an adequate liquidity buffer to face unexpected outflows and robust and regular up-to-date stress testing performed on a regular
basis, the main liquidity mitigation factors for UniCredit group are:
• an accurate plan of short-term and medium to long-term liquidity needs, to be monitored on a monthly basis;
• an effective contingency liquidity policy with feasible and up-to-date contingency action plan to be executed in case of crisis;
• a system of early warning indicators such to anticipate any potential liquidity crisis and give enough time to the Group to restore its safe liquidity
profile.
Funding plan
The funding plan plays a fundamental role in the overall liquidity management influencing both the short-term and the structural position. The funding
plan, defined at each level (i.e. Group, liquidity reference bank and legal entity level), is developed consistently with a sustainable analysis of uses
and sources, both on short-term and structural positions. One of the objectives of accessing the medium and long-term channels is to avoid the
pressure on the short-term liquidity position. The funding plan is updated at least on a yearly basis and is approved by the Board of Directors. In
addition, it is aligned with the budgeting process and the risk appetite framework.
The Parent Company accesses the market for Group capital instruments.
The Parent Company coordinates the market access of the liquidity reference banks and legal entities, while the liquidity reference banks coordinate
the access of the legal entities falling within their perimeter.
Each legal entity or liquidity reference bank can access the markets for medium and long-term funding, in order to increase its self-sufficiency,
exploit market opportunities and functional specialisation, safeguarding the optimisation of cost of funds of the Group.
Group Financial Office competence line is responsible for the elaboration of the funding plan. Risk management is responsible for providing an
independent assessment of the funding plan.
Group contingency liquidity management
The liquidity crises usually develop quickly and the relevant signals may be either difficult to interpret or may even be lacking; it is, therefore,
important to clearly identify players, powers, responsibilities, communication and reporting criteria, in order to increase significantly the probability of
overcoming the state of emergency successfully. A liquidity crisis could be classified as systemic (e.g. overall capital and money market disruption)
or specific (e.g. specific to the bank), or a combination of both.
The ability to act in time is essential to minimise the potentially disruptive consequences of a liquidity crisis. The analysis of the stress tests will form
a valuable tool to identify the expected consequences and to define up front the most suitable actions in a certain crisis scenario. In combination with
the early warning Indicators the organisation may be able to reduce the negative liquidity effects in the initial stages of a crisis. Therefore, a crisis-
mode operating model, that can be activated effectively in case of crisis according to an approved procedure, has been defined. In order to be able
to proceed timely, a set of mitigating actions have been pre-defined. Depending on the situation some of these actions can then be approved for
execution.
The Group contingency liquidity management global policy has the objective of ensuring effective interventions starting from the very outset (initial
hours) of the liquidity crisis, through the definition of specific guidelines on activation, meetings, decisions, actions, and communications.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 377
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
This purpose is achieved through:
• a set of early warning indicators that may help to identify emerging vulnerabilities in the Group liquidity risk position;
• activation of extraordinary liquidity governance and operating model linked to indicators included in both the risk appetite and recovery and
resolution plan framework;
• a set of available standby mitigating liquidity actions;
• consistent internal and external communication.
A relevant part of the contingency liquidity management is the contingency funding plan. This plan consists of a set of potential but concrete
management actions to be performed in time of crisis. These actions are described in terms of size, instrument, and timing of execution aimed at
improving the bank’s liquidity position during time of crisis. The contingency funding plan is developed on the basis of the annual Funding Plan.
A specific early warning indicators dashboard is in place, both at Group and legal entities level, in order to continuously monitor situations of stress,
which may, among others, be originated by market, sector or name specific events. They are based either on macroeconomic or market indicators
that also reflect the monetary policy stance of the Central Banks variables, or on specific internal metrics. The system of early warning indicators
helps to identify emerging vulnerabilities in the Group’s liquidity risk position or potential funding needs, triggering a potential response by the Senior
management.
A “traffic light approach” is adopted for each metric in order to have sufficient time to inform senior management of a deteriorating situation and allow
to put in place adequate actions aimed at restoring the business-as-usual state.
Adequacy of the liquidity risk management
In the yearly process of the ILAAP, the Senior management is requested to give a judgement on the adequacy of the liquidity position and stability of
funding, called Liquidity Adequacy Statement (LAS). This assessment aims at showing the main drivers that had modified the liquidity position
throughout the year and provides comment also on the evolution of the main metrics that are used to steer the different aspects of the liquidity risk.
In the first half of 2020, the Group liquidity situation is deemed adequate and the liquidity risk management arrangements of the institution ensure
that the liquidity risk management systems put in place are adequate with regard to the institution’s profile and strategy.
The framework of measurement systems and of limits in place aims to ensure that the Group has always an internal liquidity buffer/reserve that
allows it to face expected and unexpected payments.
In the daily Treasury activity, the (managerial) liquidity reserve is represented by the Counterbalancing Capacity (CBC). Group Treasury, in its role of
operational liquidity management function is entitled to monetise also the bonds belonging to the trading book, if this is necessary to restore the
liquidity positions, prevailing on any existing business or risk management strategies.
From a regulatory perspective, the liquidity reserve is represented by the amount of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA). This is the numerator of the
LCR and is made of assets, which can be easily and immediately converted into cash at little or no loss of value even in periods of severe
idiosyncratic and market stress. These assets are unencumbered, which means free of legal, regulatory, contractual or other restrictions on the
ability of the bank to liquidate, sell, transfer, or assign them.
The adequacy of the liquidity reserve under both perspectives is monitored and controlled through the limitations set on the operative maturity ladder
(managerial) and on the liquidity coverage ratio (regulatory), as described above.
In 2020, the operative maturity ladder of the Group, measured considering the impediments in the transfer of liquidity among legal entities, was
constantly above the Risk Appetite Trigger, defined at a level that ensures that the Group would have enough liquidity to survive to a period of
stress.
Similarly the Group liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was always well above the trigger (set above the minimum regulatory requirement of 100%),
confirming that its liquidity reserve was large enough to cover one month of stress designed according to the regulatory hypothesis.
While the operative maturity ladder and the LCR restrictions ensure that the liquidity reserves are adequate, the respect of the funding gap and other
structural liquidity metrics restrictions ensure that the bank maintains an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities in the medium-long term
(beyond one year), preventing additional pressure on the short term liquidity position.
In 2020, both the funding gap and the net stable funding ratio were above the limitations set in the risk appetite framework, thus confirming the
relative stability of the funding source of the Group.

Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
The slowdown in economic activity caused by lockdowns across Europe and the measures the Governments have taken to face the effects of the
current health and economic emergency impacted the Group operations in the different countries of its perimeter. The business continuity
management plans were activated in order to ensure the regular execution of treasury activities and the proper information flows to the senior
management and the Supervisors.
Despite the overall liquidity situation of the Group is safe and under constant control, some risks may materialize in the coming months, depending
on the lockdown and mobility limitations imposed by the Government and expected economic recovery.
The most relevant risks that the Group may face are: i) an exceptionally high usage of the committed and uncommitted lines granted to corporate
customers; ii) the capacity to roll over the expiring wholesale funding and the potential cash or collateral outflows the Group may suffer in case of
rating downgrades of both the banks or the sovereign debt in the geographies in which it operates. In addition to this, some risks may arise from the
limitations applied to the cross-border lending among banks, which have been increased in some countries.
An important mitigating factor to these risks are the contingency management policies of the bank as described in the Group system of rules and the
measures set up by the European Central Bank, which have granted a higher flexibility in the management of the current liquidity situation by
leveraging on the available liquidity buffers.

2.5 Operational risks
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, operational processes and methods for measuring operational risk
Operational risk definition
Operational risk is the risk of loss due to errors, infringements, interruptions, damages caused by internal processes or personnel systems or caused
by external events. This definition includes legal and compliance risks but excludes strategic and reputational risk.
For example, losses arising from the following can be defined as operational internal or external fraud, employment practices and workplace safety,
client claims, products distribution, fines and penalties due to regulation breaches, damages to the company’s physical assets, business disruption
and system failures, process management.
Group operational risk framework
UniCredit group sets the operational risk management framework as a combination of policies and procedures for controlling, measuring and
mitigating the operational risk of the Group and of the controlled entities.
The operational risk policies, applying to all Legal Entities, are common principles defining the roles of the company bodies, the operational risk
management function, as well as the relationship with other functions involved in operational risk monitoring and management.
The Parent Company coordinates the Legal Entities according to the internal regulation and the Group operational risk control rulebook. Specific
Risks Committees (Group Risk & Internal Control Committee, Group Operational and Reputational Risks Committee) are set up to monitor risk
exposure, mitigating actions, measurement and control methods within the Group. With particular reference to UniCredit S.p.A. the “Italian
Operational & Reputational Risk Committee” (IORRIC) meets with the aim of monitoring the exposure to operational and reputational risks and
evaluating the events with significant impact and the related mitigation actions with reference to UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter and its Italian
subsidiaries. The methodologies for data classification and completeness verification, scenario analysis, risk indicators, reporting and capital at risk
measurement are set by the Group Operational & Reputational Risks structure and applied to all Legal Entities. A pivot element of the risk control
framework is the operational risk management application, allowing the collection of the data required for operational risk control and capital
measurement.
The compliance of the Group Operational risk control and measurement system with external regulations and Group standards is assessed through
an internal validation process, which is under the responsibility of the Group Internal Validation department of the Group and is independent from the
Group Operational & Reputational Risks structure.
Since March 2008 the UniCredit group applies the AMA model (Advanced Measurement Approach) for calculating operational risk capital. The use
of this method has been rolled out to the main Legal Entities of the Group.
Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
Referring to operational risks, analyses were carried in order to identify risks arising from process changes adopted time by time to protect the health
of employees and customers.
With reference to the operational risks identified, the effectiveness of the risk mitigation measures was then assessed also through a comparative
analysis between different Group Legal Entities.
In addition, specific second-level controls were activated to oversee those areas that were subject to the most significant changes. A specific
monitoring of operational incidents linked, even indirectly, to the entire Covid-19 epidemic has been created in order to promptly intercept potential
process criticalities or inappropriate behaviours.
Organisational structure
Senior Management is responsible for approving all aspects related to the Group operational risk framework and verifying the adequacy of the
measurement and control system; it is regularly updated on changes to the risk profile and operational risk exposure, with the support of the
appropriate risk committees if required.
The “Group Operational & Reputational Risks Committee” is responsible for the evaluation and monitoring at Group level of operational risks
(including ICT and Cyber) and of the reputational risks. - The Committee enables the coordination among the control functions in identifying and
sharing Group priorities concerning Operational Risks (e.g. emerging risks) and monitors the effectiveness of initiatives put in place to. safeguard
them.

The structure is additionally responsible for the governance and control of ICT/Cyber Risks, through:
• the definition of the framework for the management of ICT/Cyber risks, the coordination and monitoring of the Legal Entities in the implementation
of it;
• the measurement, assessment and control of ICT/Cyber risks for UniCredit S.p.A.;
• the monitoring at Group level of the implementation and results of mitigation actions to oversee ICT/Cyber risks in cooperation with the competent
functions (e.g. “Group Information & Security Office”), also through the analysis of risk indicators.

The structure is organised as follows:
• “Operational Risk Analytics and Oversight” responsible for defining the principles and rules at Group level for identification, assessment and
control of operational risk, monitoring their correct application by the Legal Entities with focus on operational losses data collection and scenario
analysis monitoring. The unit is responsible for defining risk capital measurement methodologies, calculating operational risk capital and the
corresponding economic capital, as well as conducting quantitative analysis of the Group's exposure to operational risk also based on operational
risks analytics models. The unit is furthermore responsible for the reporting of operational risks and of the definition process of the Risk Appetite
Framework/RAF metrics for competence risks, as well as the related periodical monitoring;
• “Operational & Reputational Risks Assessment and Strategies” responsible for defining and monitoring the strategic areas for the management of
operational risk consistent with the RAF and the Group's strategic objectives, keeping the responsibility for coordinating/monitoring risk mitigation
actions and coordinate the monitoring of operational risks in the CEE perimeter, directly supporting the “CRO CEE” structure. Furthermore, it
develops ad hoc analysis on specific issues of operational and reputational risk. Finally, it is responsible of defining methodologies for assessing
reputational risk by verifying its correct implementation and controlling the risk assessment activities for Italian transactions within the scope of the
Global Rules related to reputation risk (e.g. weapons and nuclear energy sectors);
• “Operational Risk Management Italy & Lending Processes” responsible for overseeing the operational risks of UniCredit S.p.A., supports the
business functions of the Italian perimeter with the inclusion of the foreign branches of UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter, in the identification,
management and monitoring of operational risks, also by executing specific risk assessment activities (e.g. on relevant transactions). Furthermore,
it is responsible for the governance, identification and monitoring of the operational and reputational risk in the underwriting processes and
management of the credit risk for the Group (“cross credit risk”), with the aim of reducing operational losses (including those driven by external
frauds). Moreover, the structure has a steering role on the Group Legal Entities for what concerns the specific perimeter, giving relevant
information in the related committees, as well as in the appropriate context.
The Operational Risk Management functions of the controlled Entities provide specific operational risk training to the staff, realised also through
intranet training programs, and are responsible for the correct implementation of the Group framework elements.
Internal validation process
In compliance with regulations, an internal validation process for the operational risk control and measurement system has been set up for the
Group and for the relevant Legal Entities in order to verify the compliance with regulations and Group standards.This process is under the
responsibility of Group Internal Validation department.Group methodologies for measuring and allocating the capital at risk and the IT system are
validated at the Group level by the above mentioned department, as well as the implementation of the operational risk control and management
system within the relevant Entities, which is firstly analysed through a self-assessment performed by local Operational Risk Management functions,
following the technical instructions and policies issued by Group Internal Validation. The results of the local self-assessments are annually verified
by Group Internal Validation, which also performs additional analysis on data and documentation. Such evidences are the basis for the release of
specific Validation Reports to the relevant subsidiaries. The local self-assessment, together with the opinion of Group Internal Validation and Internal
Audit report are submitted to the Legal Entities’ competent governing bodies.
The validation outcomes on the operational risk control and measurement system, both at the Group and controlled Entities level, are annually
consolidated with the annual validation report which, with the annual Internal Audit report, is presented to the UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Directors.
Reporting
A reporting system has been developed by the Group to keep senior management and the Management Body regularly informed on the Group
operational risk exposure and the risk mitigation actions.
In particular, weekly reports are provided on operational losses trend, the main initiatives undertaken to prevent or mitigate operational risk in the
various business areas and main operational risk events. Quarterly updates are provided on capital-at-risk estimations and RAF metric monitoring.
Moreover, an operational loss trend report is provided monthly to Regulators.
Operational risk management and mitigation
The identification of the Group and Legal Entity Operational & Reputational risk mitigation strategies is performed through a set of recurring yearly
activities at Group and Legal Entities level in order to assess the Group and Legal Entities risk profile and define the most appropriate mitigation
actions to reduce the risk. The process starts with the preliminary self- risk assessment: it is a qualitative evaluation on selected forward looking key
risk drivers performed yearly by the Legal Entities ORMs leveraging on a list of key risk drivers provided by the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
In order to select and provide the list of key risk drivers, it leverages on:
• the objectives of the Group multi-year plan;
• the areas of attention and any additional priority from the top management;
• the operational risk losses evolution and the most relevant internal/external events;
• the industry and market trends evolution (including the regulator trends);
• the current ongoing ORRMS (Operational & Reputational Risk Mitigation Strategies) and Group TOR (Top Operational Risks).
The Legal Entity shall assess the relevance of each key risk driver supplied providing a qualitative risk evaluation with rationales and estimations on
the related reputational risk.
Also, the Legal Entity shall identify and evaluate additional key risk drivers affecting their own Legal Entity considering the local market, the business
activities and the specificities (including relevant transformation/innovation in the business model).

Stress test
Starting from 2017, the Group is performing regular stress testing for operational risk, including complex scenarios as part of the Firm-wide Stress
test exercise defined within the Group Stress Test Council, with the aim to verify the response of the loss model and the resulting capital at risk to
changes in the underlying macro-economic factors data set. Scenarios are proposed by Research Department, discussed and finalised within the
Group Stress Test Council. Firm wide Scenarios will be run twice a year, or on demand if it is required, in order to assess the potential risks driven
by changes in the macro-economic environment.
Risk capital measurement and allocation mechanism
UniCredit S.p.A. developed an internal model for measuring the capital requirements. The system for measuring operational risk is based on internal
loss data, external loss data, scenario analysis data and risk indicators.
Capital at risk is calculated per risk class. For each risk class, severity and frequency of loss data are separately estimated to obtain the annual loss
distribution through simulation. The severity distribution is estimated on internal, external and scenario analysis data, while the frequency distribution
is determined using only the internal data. An adjustment for key operational risk indicators is applied to each risk class. Annual loss distributions of
each risk class are aggregated through a copula functions-based method, considering also insurance coverage. Capital at risk is calculated at a
confidence level of 99.9% on the overall loss distribution for regulatory purposes and for economic capital purposes, considering expected loss
deduction. Through an allocation mechanism, the individual legal entities’ capital requirements are identified, reflecting the legal entities’ risk
exposure.
B. Legal risks
The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and other UniCredit group companies are named as defendants in several legal proceedings. In particular, as
at 31 December 2020, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and other UniCredit group companies were named as defendants in about 37,900 legal
proceedings, of which approximately 9,200 involving the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. (excluding labour law cases, tax cases and credit
recovery actions in which counterclaims were asserted or objections raised with regard to the credit claims of Group companies). In addition, from
time to time, past and present directors, officers and employees may be involved in civil and/or criminal proceedings, the details of which UniCredit
group may not lawfully know about or communicate.
The Group is also required to fulfil appropriately various legal and regulatory requirements in relation to certain aspects of its activity, such as
conflicts of interest, ethical issues, anti-money laundering laws, EU, US and international sanctions, client assets, competition law, privacy and
information security rules and others. Actual or alleged failure to do so may lead to additional litigation and investigations and subject the Group to
damages claims, regulatory fines, other penalties and/or reputational damages. In addition, one or more Group companies and/or their current
and/or former directors are subject or may in the future be subject to investigations by the relevant supervisory or prosecutorial authority in a number
of countries in which the Group operates. These include investigations and/or proceedings relating, inter alia, to aspects of systems and controls and
instances of actual and potential regulatory infringement by the relevant Group companies and/or its clients. Given the nature of UniCredit group’s
business and its reorganisation over time, there is a risk that claims or matters that initially involve one Group company may affect or involve other
Group entities.
In many cases, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the outcomes of the proceedings and the amount of possible losses. Where it is possible to
estimate reliably the amount of possible losses and the loss is considered as more likely than not, provisions have been made in the financial
statements to the extent the parent company UniCredit S.p.A., or any of the Group companies involved, deemed appropriate based on the
circumstances of the case and in compliance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS).
To provide for possible liabilities and costs that may result from pending legal proceedings (excluding labour law and tax cases), as at 31 December
2020, UniCredit group set aside a provision for risks and charges of €655.9 million, of which €370.7 million for the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
As at 31 December 2020, the total amount of claimed damages relating to judicial proceedings other than labour, tax and debt collections
proceedings amounted to approximately €10 billion, of which approximately €6.6 billion for the proceedings involving the parent company UniCredit
S.p.A. This figure is affected by both the heterogeneous nature of the pending proceedings and the number of involved jurisdictions and their
corresponding characteristics in which UniCredit group companies are named as defendants.
The estimate for reasonably possible liabilities and the provisions are based upon the available information, however, given the many uncertainties
inherent in legal proceedings, they involve significant elements of judgment. Therefore, any provision may not be sufficient to meet entirely the legal
costs and the fines and penalties that may result from pending legal actions.
Set out below is a summary of information, including, if material and/or indicated, the single requests of the plaintiffs, relating to matters involving
UniCredit group which are not considered groundless or in the ordinary course of the Group companies’ business.
This section also describes pending proceedings against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and/or other UniCredit group companies and/or
employees (even former employees) that the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. considers relevant and which, at present, are not characterised by a
defined claim or for which the respective claim cannot be quantified.
Unless expressly mentioned below, labour law and tax claims or debt collections proceedings are excluded from this section and are described
elsewhere in the notes of this section. In accordance with IAS37, information that would seriously prejudice the relevant company’s position in the
dispute may be omitted.

Proceedings which involve the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
Madoff
The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and several of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Companies”) have been sued in the wake of a Ponzi
scheme perpetrated by Bernard L. Madoff through his company Bernard L. Madoff Investments Securities LLC (“BLMIS”), which was exposed in
December 2008. The Companies were principally connected with Madoff as investment manager and/or investment adviser for the Primeo Fund Ltd
(now in liquidation) and other non-US funds of funds that had invested in other non-US funds with accounts at BLMIS.
Specifically, the Companies (together with a variety of other entities) were named as defendants in a variety of proceedings (both in the US and in
non-US jurisdictions), for a total damage compensation claims of over $6 billion (to be later determined over the course of the proceedings). At
present, most of the claims brought before US Courts and referring to the Companies have been rejected without any possibility of appeal or
dismissal. However, the bankruptcy administrator of BLMIS (the “SIPA Trustee”) responsible for the Madoff’s company liquidation continues to
pursue claims related to transfers of money made by BLMIS pre-bankruptcy to an affiliated company, BA Worldwide Fund Management Ltd
(“BAWFM”), and other similarly situated parties. The potential claim for damages against BAWFM is non-material and, therefore, there are no
specific risk profiles for the Companies.
In addition, certain current or formerly affiliated persons named as defendants in a proceeding in the United States may seek indemnification from
the Companies and its affiliated entities.
As at 31 December 2020, there were several pending civil proceedings against UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UCB Austria”) for the total claimed
damages amount of €5.15 million. While a large majority of the judgments have been favourable to UCB Austria, the impact of the remaining cases
cannot be predicted with certainty, as the related future rulings may be adverse to UCB Austria. UCB Austria has made adequate provisions related
to the Madoff’s matter.
Furthermore, UCB Austria had been named as a defendant in criminal proceedings in Austria concerning the Madoff case, on allegations that it
breached provisions of the Austrian Investment Fund Act as prospectus controller of the Primeo fund while other allegations relate to the level of
fees and embezzlement. In November 2019 the criminal investigation against UCB Austria and all individual defendants was closed by the public
prosecutor. Private parties appealed and a decision is awaited.
Proceedings arising out of the purchase of UCB AG by the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and the related Group reorganisation
Squeeze-out of UCB AG minority shareholders (Appraisal Proceeding)
In 2008, approximately 300 former minority shareholders of UCB AG filed a request before the District Court of Munich to have a review of the price
paid to them by the parent company UniCredit S.p.A., equal to €38.26 per share, in the context of the squeeze out of minority shareholders
(Appraisal Proceeding). The dispute mainly concerns the valuation of UCB AG, which is the basis for the calculation of the price to be paid to the
former minority shareholders. At present the proceeding is pending in the first instance.
Squeeze-out of UCB Austria’s minority shareholders (Appraisal Proceeding)
In 2008, approximately 70 former minority shareholders of UCB Austria commenced proceedings before the Commercial Court of Vienna claiming
that the squeeze-out price paid to them, equal to €129.4 per share, was inadequate, and asking the court to review the adequacy of the amount paid
(Appraisal Proceeding). At present the proceeding is pending in the first instance.
Financial sanctions matters
Following the settlement in April 2019 with the U.S. and New York Authorities, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A., UCB AG and UCB Austria have
implemented additional requirements and controls, about which the banks make periodic reports to the authorities.
Euro-denominated bonds issued by EU countries
On 31 January 2019, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission
referring to the investigation by the European Commission of a suspected violation of antitrust rules in relation to European government bonds. The
subject matter of the investigation extends to certain periods from 2007 to 2012 and includes alleged activities by UCB AG in a part of this period.
The Statement of Objections does not prejudge the outcome of the proceeding; should the European Commission conclude that there is sufficient
evidence of an infringement, a decision prohibiting the conduct and imposing a fine could be adopted, with any fine subject to a statutory maximum
of 10% of the company’s annual worldwide turnover.
The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG had access to the entirety of the European Commission’s file on the investigation from 15
February 2019 onwards. As a result of the assessment of the files, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG regard it no longer remote but
possible, even though not likely, that a cash outflow might be required to fulfil a potential fine arising from the outcome of the investigation. On the
basis of the current information, it is not possible to estimate reliably the amount of any potential fine at the present date.
The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG have responded to the raised objections on 29 April 2019 and participated in a hearing before
the European Commission on 22-24 October 2019. Proceedings are ongoing. There is no legal deadline for the European Commission to complete
antitrust inquiries.

On 11 June 2019, UCB AG and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC were named, among other financial institutions, as defendants in a putative class
action already pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The third amended class action complaint, filed on 3
December 2019, alleges a conspiracy among dealers of Euro-denominated bonds issued by European central banks to fix and manipulate the
prices of those bonds, among other things by widening the bid-ask spreads they quoted to customers. The putative class consists of those who
purchased or sold Euro-denominated bonds issued by European central banks in the US between 2007 and 2012. On 23 July 2020, the court
granted motions to dismiss the third amended complaint by certain defendants, including UCB AG and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC, without
prejudice. Plaintiffs filed their fourth amended class action complaint on 9 February 2021, repleading their claim against UCB AG and UniCredit
Capital Markets LLC and other financial institutions. Like earlier pleadings, the fourth amended class action complaint does not include a
quantification of damages claimed. Exchange of correspondence concerning motions to dismiss the fourth amended complaint is scheduled to
commence in March 2021.
Proceeding relating to certain forms of banking operations
The UniCredit group is named as a defendant in several proceedings in matters connected to its operations with clients, which are not specific to
UniCredit group, rather affect the financial sector in general.
In this regard, as at 31 December 2020 (i) proceedings against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. pertaining to compound interest, typical of the
Italian market, had a total claimed amount of €1.1 million, mediations included; (ii) proceedings pertaining to derivative products, mainly affecting the
Italian market (for which the claimed amount against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. was €744 million, mediations included) and the German
market (for which the claimed amount against UCB AG was €27 million); and (iii) proceedings relating to foreign currency loans, mainly affecting the
CEE countries (for which the claimed amount was around €151 million).
The proceedings pertaining to compound interest mainly involve damages requests from clients arising from the alleged unlawfulness of the
calculation methods of the amount of interest payable in connection with certain banking contracts. At present, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
has made provisions that it deems appropriate for the risks associated with these claims.
With regard to the litigation connected to derivative products, several financial institutions, including UniCredit group companies, entered into a
number of derivative contracts, both with institutional and non-institutional investors. In Germany and in Italy there are a number of pending
proceedings against certain Group companies that relate to derivative contracts concluded by both institutional and non-institutional investors. The
filing of such litigations affects the financial sector generally and is not specific to the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and its Group companies. At
present, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and the involved Group companies have made provisions deemed appropriate based on the best
estimate of the impact which might derive from such proceedings.
With respect to proceedings relating to foreign currency (“FX”) loans, in the last decade, a significant number of customers in the Central and
Eastern Europe area took out these types of loans and mortgages denominated in a foreign currency. In a number of instances customers, or
consumer associations acting on their behalf, have sought to renegotiate the terms of such FX loans and mortgages, including having the loan
principal and associated interest payments redenominated in the local currency at the time that the loan was taken out, and floating rates
retrospectively changed to fixed rates. In addition, in a number of countries legislation that impacts FX loans was proposed or implemented. These
developments resulted in litigation against subsidiaries of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in a number of CEE countries including Croatia,
Slovenia and Serbia.
In 2015, the Republic of Croatia enacted amendments to the Consumer Lending Act and Credit Institutions Act mandating the conversion with
retroactive effect of Swiss franc (CHF)-linked loans into Euro-linked (the “Conversion Amendments”).
In September 2016, UCB Austria and Zagrebačka Banka (“Zaba”) initiated a claim against the Republic of Croatia under the Agreement between the
Government of the Republic of Austria and the Government of the Republic of Croatia for the promotion and protection of investments in order to
recover the losses suffered as a result of the Conversion Amendments. In the interim, Zaba complied with the provisions of the new law and
adjusted accordingly all the respective contracts where the customers requested so. Following a hearing, the arbitral tribunal ruled on part of the
Respondent’s jurisdictional objections. The arbitral proceedings remain pending.
In 2019, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia ruled that the CHF currency clause contained in certain loan and mortgage documentation
was invalid. Accordingly, in the course of 2019, court decisions, recent court practice related to FX matters along with the expiration of the statute of
limitation for filing individual lawsuits in respect of the invalidity of the interest rate clause, led to a significant increase in the number of new lawsuits
against Zaba. In March 2020, the Supreme Court ruled that agreements entered into following the Conversion Amendments whereby customers
converted their CHF mortgages and/or loans into EUR are valid and accordingly no additional payments are due. In October 2020 the Supreme
Court, as well as one additional lower court, approached the European Court of Justice with a request for preliminary ruling asking for an
interpretation on the applicability of the Directive on unfair terms in consumer contracts and consequently whether a consumer who converted its
loan in accordance with the terms of the of the Conversion Amendments is entitled to additional payments. The matter of the validity of the FX
clauses contained in mortgages and loan documentation is still pending before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia. Provisions have
been booked which are deemed appropriate.

Vanderbilt related litigations
Claims brought or threatened by or on behalf of the State of New Mexico or any of its agencies or funds
Vanderbilt Financial LLC (“VCA”) related litigations, where Pioneer Investment Management USA Inc., Pioneer Global Asset Management S.p.A.
(“PGAM”), at the time controlled by UniCredit S.p.A. and incorporated by the latter in 2017, and the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. (the
“Defendants”) were named as additional defendants by virtue of their corporate affiliation with VCA, including in legal proceedings brought by a
former employee of the State of New Mexico (the “Public Authority”), who claimed to act as representative of the Public Authority for the losses
suffered by the State of New Mexico during the 2006-08 market downturn on investments managed by VCA (mainly CDOs). The total amount of
losses claimed in those proceedings is approximately $365 million. In 2012, the Defendants reached a settlement agreement for an amount of
$24.25 million and the settlement amount was deposited into escrow at the beginning of 2013.
The settlement is contingent on the Court’s approval, but that process was temporarily delayed pending the determination by the New Mexico
Supreme Court of a legal matter in a separate lawsuit brought against a different set of defendants in other proceedings. The New Mexico Supreme
Court issued its ruling on the awaited legal matter in June 2015 and in December 2015 the Defendants and the State of New Mexico renewed their
request for Court approval of the settlement. The Court held a hearing in April 2016 and in June 2017 approved the settlement and directed that the
claims against VCA and the Defendants be dismissed. A judgment to that effect was entered in September 2017 and a motion by the former State
employee seeking to set aside that judgment was denied by the Court in October 2017. Appeals from the judgment and the subsequent order were
taken in October and November 2017 and in June 2020, the New Mexico Court of Appeals affirmed that judgment. A motion for rehearing was
subsequently denied. In October 2020 the New Mexico Supreme Court declined to hear a further appeal, but the former State employee
subsequently petitioned for rehearing, and that motion remains pending. The settlement cannot be effectuated while the appeal remains pending. If
the judgment continues to be upheld on appeal, the escrowed amount will be paid over to the State of New Mexico and the Defendants, including
UniCredit S.p.A., will all be released from all the claims that were or could have been brought by or on behalf of the State or any of its agencies or
funds.
Divania S.r.l.
In 2007, Divania S.r.l. (now in bankruptcy) (“Divania”) filed a lawsuit in the Court of Bari against UniCredit Banca d’Impresa S.p.A. (then UniCredit
Corporate Banking S.p.A. and now UniCredit S.p.A.) alleging violations of law relating, inter alia, to financial products in relation to certain rate and
currency derivative transactions entered into between January 2000 and May 2005 first by Credito Italiano S.p.A. and subsequently by UniCredit
Banca d’Impresa S.p.A. (now UniCredit S.p.A.), demanding damages in the amount of €276.6 million, legal fees and interest. Divania also seeks the
nullification of a 2005 settlement reached by the parties in which Divania had agreed to waive any claims in respect of the transactions. In 2017, the
Court of Bari ordered the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. to pay approximately €7.6 million plus interests and part of the expenses in favour of
Divania’s bankruptcy trustee and found that it did not have jurisdiction to rule on certain of Divania’s claims. The parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
appealed.
Divania filed two additional lawsuits before the Court of Bari: (i) one for €68.9 million in 2009 (subsequently increased to €80.5 million), essentially
mirroring the claims brought in its lawsuit filed in 2007; and (ii) a second one for €1.6 million in 2006. With respect to the first lawsuit, in May 2016,
the Court of Bari ordered the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. to pay approximately €12.6 million plus costs. The parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
appealed. With respect to the second lawsuit, in 2015, the Court of Bari rejected Divania’s original claim and the judgment has res judicata effect.
I Viaggi del Ventaglio Group (IVV)
In 2011, IVV DE MEXICO S.A., TONLE S.A. and the bankruptcy trustee of IVV INTERNATIONAL S.A. filed a lawsuit against the parent company
UniCredit S.p.A. in the Court of Milan demanding approximately €68 million in damages. In 2014, the bankruptcy trustees of IVV Holding S.r.l. and
IVV S.p.A. filed two additional lawsuits against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in the Court of Milan demanding €48 million and €170 million,
respectively, in damages. In October 2019, the bankruptcy trustee of I Viaggi del Ventaglio Resorts Ventaglio Real Estate S.r.l. filed an additional
lawsuit in the Court of Milan against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. demanding a total of €12.8 million in damages.
The four lawsuits pertain to allegedly unlawful conduct with regard to certain loans and certain derivative transactions. At present, (i) the parent
company UniCredit S.p.A. won the first case both in the first-instance and on appeal; the plaintiffs may further appeal to the Supreme Court; (ii) the
Bankruptcy Trustee and the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. reached a settlement agreement approved by the Court for the second case; (iii) the
third case is pending in the first-instance and in July 2020 the bankruptcy trustee and the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. reached a settlement
agreement by which the bankruptcy trustee will waive its claims against the Bank; the case will continue between the parent company UniCredit
S.p.A., on one side, and the former statutory auditors and guarantors of the plaintiff, on the other, in light of the contribution claims raised by the
latter against UniCredit S.p.A. in the context of the same proceedings; and (iv) in the fourth case the Court is to rule on the evidentiary requests
submitted by the parties.
Lawsuit brought by “Paolo Bolici”
In May 2014, the company wholly owned by Paolo Bolici sued the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in the Court of Rome asking for the return of

Mazza
In 2005 the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. filed a criminal complaint against a Notary, Mr. Mazza, representatives of certain companies and
disloyal employees of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in relation to unlawful lending transactions in favour of certain clients for approximately
€84 million. The criminal court of first instance acquitted the defendants. This decision was reversed by the Court of Appeal of Rome, which found all
the defendants guilty.
Following the acquittal in the first-instance criminal proceedings, Mr. Mazza and other persons involved in the criminal proceedings filed two lawsuits
for compensation claims against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.: (i) the first (commenced by Mr. Mazza with a claimed amount of
approximately €15 million) is pending before the Court of Rome; (ii) in the second (commenced by Como S.r.l. and Mr. Colella with a claimed
amount of approximately €379 million) case the Court of Rome ruled in favour of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and the plaintiffs may appeal.
In the view of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A., these lawsuits currently appear to be unfounded, in particular in light of the criminal judgment by
the Court of Appeal of Rome and the civil judgment by the Court of Rome.
So.De.Co. - Nuova Compagnia di Partecipazioni S.p.A.
As part of a restructuring, in 2014, Ludoil Energy S.r.l. (“Ludoil”) acquired the “oil” business from Nuova Compagnia di Partecipazione S.p.A.
(“NCP”). In March 2016, So.DeCo., a wholly owned subsidiary of Ludoil, filed a lawsuit in the Court of Rome against its former directors, NCP, the
parent company UniCredit S.p.A. (in its capacity as holding company of NCP) and the external auditors (PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. and
Deloitte & Touche S.p.A.) claiming damages of approximately €94 million for allegedly failing to provision properly for supposed environmental risks
and thereby causing the inflation of the sale price paid by Ludoil. In November 2019, the Court rejected So.De.Co.’s claims in their entirety and
ordered it to pay costs in favour of the defendants. So.De.Co. appealed the judgment and reduced its claim to approximately €17 million. In
November 2017, So.De.Co. filed a separate lawsuit against NCP and its former directors. The case is ongoing. In February 2019, NCP commenced
an arbitral proceeding against Ludoil (So.De.Co.’s sole shareholder). The proceedings are ongoing.
Criminal proceedings
Certain entities within UniCredit group and certain of its representatives (including those no longer in office), are involved in various criminal
proceedings and/or, as far as the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. is aware, are under investigation by the competent authorities with regard to
various cases linked to banking transactions, including, specifically, in Italy, the offence pursuant to Art.644 (usury) of the Italian Criminal Code.
At present, these criminal proceedings have had no significant negative impact on the operating results and capital and financial position of the
parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and/or the Group, however there is a risk that, if the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and/or other UniCredit group
entities or their representatives (including those no longer in office) were to be convicted, these events could have an impact on the reputation of the
parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and/or UniCredit group.

Proceedings related to claims for withholding tax credits
On 31 July 2014, the Supervisory Board of UCB AG concluded its internal investigation into the so-called “cum-ex” transactions (the short selling of
equities around dividend dates and claims for withholding tax credits on German share dividends) at UCB AG. The findings of the Supervisory
Board’s investigation indicated that the bank sustained losses due to certain past acts/omissions of individuals.
The Supervisory Board has brought proceedings for compensation against three individual former members of the management board, not seeing
reasons to take any action against the current members. In line with the suggestion of the Regional Court of Munich I, the conflicting parties settled
the dispute out of court.
In addition, criminal investigations have been conducted against current or former employees of UCB AG by the Prosecutors in Frankfurt am Main,
Cologne and Munich with the aim of verifying alleged tax evasion offences on their part. UCB AG cooperated, and continues to cooperate, with the
aforesaid Prosecutors who investigated offences that include alleged tax evasion in connection with cum-ex transactions both for UCB AG’s own
book as well as for a former customer of UCB AG. Proceedings in Cologne against UCB AG and its former employees were closed in November
2015 with, inter alia, the payment of a fine of €9.8 million by UCB AG. The investigations by the Frankfurt am Main Prosecutor against UCB AG
under section 30 of the Administrative Offences Act (the Ordnungswidrigkeitengesetz) were closed in February 2016 with the payment of a fine of €5
million. The investigation by the Munich Prosecutor against UCB AG was closed in April 2017 with legally binding effect following the payment of a
forfeiture of €5 million.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
In December 2018, in connection with an ongoing investigation against other financial institutions and former bank employees, UCB AG was
informed by the Cologne prosecutor of the initiation of an investigation in connection with an administrative offence regarding “cum-ex” transactions
involving Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”). In April 2019, these investigations were extended to so called Ex/Ex-transactions, in which an
involvement of the bank in the sourcing of cum/ex transactions of other market participants on the ex-day is suspected. The facts are being
examined internally. UCB AG is cooperating with the Authorities.
The Munich tax authorities are currently performing a regular field audit of UCB AG for the years 2013 to 2016, which includes, among other things,
a review of other transactions in equities around the dividend record date. During these years, UCB AG performed, among other things, securities-
lending transactions with different domestic counterparties which include, but are not limited to, different types of security transactions around the
dividend date. It remains to be clarified whether, and under what circumstances, tax credits can be obtained or taxes refunded with regard to
different types of transactions carried out close to the dividend record dates, and what the further consequences for the bank will be in the event of
different tax treatment. It cannot be ruled out that UCB AG might be exposed to tax-claims in this respect by relevant tax-offices or third party claims
under civil law. UCB AG is in constant communication with relevant regulatory authorities and the competent tax authorities regarding these matters.
UCB AG has made provisions.
VIP 4 Medienfonds
Various investors in Film & Entertainment VIP Medienfonds 4 GmbH & Co. KG to whom UCB AG issued loans to finance their participation, brought
legal proceedings against UCB AG. In the context of the conclusion of the loan agreements, the plaintiffs claim that the Bank provided inadequate
disclosure about the fund structure and the related tax consequences. A settlement was reached with the vast majority of the plaintiffs. An
outstanding final decision with respect to the question of UCB AG's liability for the prospectus in the proceeding pursuant to the Capital Markets Test
Case Act (Kapitalanleger-Musterverfahrensgesetz) which is pending at Munich Higher Regional Court, will affect only a few pending cases.
Alpine Holding GmbH
Legal proceedings against UCB Austria arose from bondholders’ claims commenced in June/July 2013. The claims stemmed from the insolvency of
Alpine Holding GmbH, as UCB Austria acted as joint lead manager, together with another bank, for the undertaking of Alpine Holding GmbH bond
issues in 2010 and 2011. Bondholders’ claims are mainly referred to prospectus liability of the joint lead manager, whereas a minority of the cases is
based on misselling due to allegedly unlawful investment advice. The damage claims amount to €20.26 million. These proceedings are mainly
pending in the first instance and may be adverse to UCB Austria.
Most recently, the expert appointed by the Court in the majority of the civil proceedings has issued a report largely in favour of UCB Austria and the
other issuing banks. Investors have a different reading of the report and have requested that the expert answers supplementary questions, as did
the issuing banks. The processing of the supplementary questions is still pending. Therefore, the final outcome of the expert report cannot be
assessed as of yet.
In addition to the ongoing proceedings against UCB Austria stemming from the Alpine insolvency, additional Alpine-related actions have been
threatened and may be filed in the future. The pending or future actions may have negative consequences for UCB Austria. Despite the favourable
expert opinion mentioned above, at the moment it is impossible to estimate reliably the timing and results of the various actions, nor determine the
level of liability, if any.
Valauret S.A.
Civil claim filed in 2004 by Valauret S.A. and Hughes de Lasteyrie du Saillant for losses resulting from the drop in the share price, between 2002 and
2003, including allegations on alleged fraudulent actions by members of the company’s Board of directors and others. UCB Austria (as successor to
Creditanstalt) was joined as the fourteenth defendant in 2007 based on the fact that it was banker to one of the defendants. The total claimed
amount is equal to €129.86 million (plus costs €4.39 million). Furthermore, in 2006, before the action was extended to UCB Austria, the civil
proceedings were suspended following the opening of criminal proceedings by the French State that are underway. In December 2008, the civil
proceedings were also suspended against UCB Austria. Nevertheless, the proceedings are still pending and may be adverse to UCB Austria,
although the alleged claims are considered unfounded.
C. Risks arising from employment law cases
UniCredit is involved in employment law disputes. In general, all employment law disputes are supported by provisions made to meet any
disbursements incurred and in any case UniCredit does not believe that any liabilities relating to the outcome of the pending proceedings could have
a significant impact on its economic and/or financial standing.
Lawsuits filed against UniCredit S.p.A. by members of the former Cassa di Risparmio di Roma Fund
Lawsuits brought against UniCredit S.p.A. aimed to reconstitute the patrimony of the fund, ascertain and quantify social security individual position of
each member, are pending before the Supreme Court following previous degree decisions favourable towards the Bank. Claims’ value is about €384
millions. No provisions have been made as these claims are considered groundless.

D. Risks arising from tax disputes
The following information pertains to the most relevant litigations born in 2020 and to those already pending at the beginning of the fiscal year, which
have been decided or otherwise defined. For the litigations which are not mentioned, reference must be made to the financial statements of previous
fiscal years.
Pending cases arising during the period
UniCredit S.p.A. filed a claim, in September 2020, against a partial denial of an IRES tax refund for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 following a
partial refund in July 2020. The amount of the litigation is €1.9 million, equal to the amount of the credit registered in the accounting books of the
bank. The claim aims at receiving the repayment of a share of principal and higher interests accrued on the principal already paid as well as on the
share of principal still to be paid.
Updates on pending disputes and tax audits
At the end of the proceedings amounting to €0.5 million pending before the Supreme Court relating to a tax assessment for IRPEG and ILOR 1987
referred to former Carimonte Banca S.p.A., the Court issued a judgment in July 2020 partially in favour of the bank (it upheld the claim concerning
the calculation of the percentage of deductibility of passive interests and other costs and charges for ILOR purposes) and referred the parties to the
second degree Tax Court. The bank, following an in-depth assessment of the outcome of the referred proceedings, decided not to file a claim before
the second degreeTax Court.
As to a set of proceedings relating to denial of refund of IRAP 2001 credits and IRPEG 2000 and 2001 credits, for a total amount of €9.3 million, the
Tax Agency filed different claims before the Supreme Court against the judgements issued in favour of the bank by the second degree Tax Court
and it also filed appeals for the revision of said judgements. The proceedings are actually pending before both the Supreme Court and the second-
degree Tax Court.
UniCredit S.p.A., following a tax audit carried out on the “Fondo Pensione C.C.R.V.E.”, was served with notices imposing penalties for VAT
purposes against former UniCredit Real Estate S.C.p.a., for alleged violation of invoicing rules in relation to rental fees paid to Fondo Pensione
C.C.R.V.E. for the years 2007 – 2012. As to the fiscal years 2007 – 2011, the proceedings are pending before the Supreme Court (€0.5 million). As
concerns the year 2012 (€0.1 million), UniCredit S.p.A., in November 2020, filed an appeal before the second-degree Tax Court against the decision
of the first-degree Tax Court and the proceeding is pending.
In the context of a set of litigations in charge to UniCredit S.p.A., following the sale back, in June 2020, of tax credits previously assigned to Banca
Farmafactoring. S.p.A., with specific reference to a litigation concerning the implied decision of denial (“silenzio rifiuto”) of a tax refund request for
IRPEG 1997 submitted by former Banca di Roma S.p.A., equal to €43.5 million, UniCredit S.p.A., in September 2020, filed an appeal against the
decision of the first-degree Tax Court. For the other litigations relating to the same matter, UniCredit S.p.A. will become a party in the proceedings
and will request the exclusion of Banca FarmaFactoring from said proceedings according to art. 111, Italian Code of Civil Procedure.
The Supreme Court issued a decision in September 2020 regarding a notice of assessment referred to former UniCredit Banca S.p.A. and
concerning VAT 2004 for a claimed amount of €2.27 million. The decision is partially in favour of the Tax Agency and the Supreme Court referred
the parties to the second-degree Tax Court to rule also on legal expenses. The claims raised by the Tax Agency are related to the costs paid by
some legal entities of the Group for company meetings abroad. The bank will file a claim before the second-degree Tax Court
With reference to the settlement of tax litigations, the following information is reported:
• as to the settlement of tax litigations according to D.L. n. 119/2018 with the payment of €2.1 million, that was mentioned in the financial statements
of 2019, all settlements were finalised as no formal denial has been notified by the Tax Agency, according to article 6 of D.L. n. 119/2018;
moreover the proceedings were suspended up to 31 December 2020;
• the litigation relating to a request of payment served to UniCredit S.p.A. in its quality of incorporating entity of UniCredit Bank Austria A.G. Italian
branch, by which it was claimed failure to pay withholding taxes for an amount of €1.5 million, was settled out of Court following the total
cancellation of the request by the Tax Agency;
• in March 2020 UniCredit Bank A.G. Milan branch was served with a request of documents on transfer pricing issues for the fiscal years 2015,
2016 and 2017; the claim was settled by means of the so-called “accertamento con adesione” administrative procedure with the payment of €0.8
million.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The categories “business practices” and “employment practices” are not shown in the chart since they have a positive impact in the reference period
due to the effects of recoveries and releases of funds.
In 2020, the main source of operational risk refers to “process execution”.
The second largest contribution to losses refers to “Business disruption and technology system failures”, in which costs to restore business after
Covid-19 pandemic event, that in the first half of 2020 were included in the category "material damage”, have been reallocated; this reallocation was
necessary due to the update that EBA published in December 2020 "EBA Report on the implementation of selected Covid-19 policies". The
incidence of Covid-19 costs represents 95% of the amount of losses in the “Business disruption and technology system failures category”.
There were also, in decreasing order, losses stemming from material damages, external fraud, and internal fraud.
2.6 Other risks
Other risks included in Economic Capital
The so-called Pillar 1 risk types (credit risk, market risk, operational risk, as described in dedicated chapters) are considered as primary risks, but
there are also other risks the Group considers as significant, namely:
1. Business risk;
2. Real estate risk;
3. Financial investments risk.
These risks are defined as follows.
1. Business risk
Business risk is defined as adverse, unexpected changes in business volume and/or margins that are not due to credit, market and operational risks.
Business risk can result, above all, from changes in the competitive situation or customer behaviour, but may also result from changes in the
reference regulatory framework.
The exposure data used to calculate business risk are taken from the income statements of each Entity of the Group for which the risk is significant.
Volatility and correlations are estimated from the time series of relevant items of Income statement reports. Business risk focuses on the impact of
unexpected shocks on future margins on a one-year time horizon; in this context the margin is defined as the difference between earnings and costs
not explained by risk factors already included e.g. in credit, market, operational risk.
Business risk is calculated on a quarterly basis for monitoring and for planning purposes according to the relevant time scheduling.
2. Real estate risk
Real estate risk is defined as the potential loss resulting from market value fluctuations of the Group’s real estate portfolio, including real estate
Special purpose vehicles. It does not take into consideration properties held as collateral which are evaluated inside credit risk.
The relevant data for the real estate risk calculation include general information relating to properties and area or regional price indexes for each
property to enable calculation of volatility and correlation in the model.
The real estate risk model estimates the maximum potential loss with a confidence level set according to the regulation over a one-year time
horizon, using a Monte Carlo simulation approach and assuming real estate returns are correlated and have a non-Gaussian distribution.Real estate
risk is calculated quarterly for monitoring purposes with a portfolio updated every six months and for planning purposes according to the relevant
time scheduling.
3. Financial investments risk
Financial investments risk stems from the equity investments held in companies not included in the Group consolidation perimeter and not
encompassed in the Market Risk managerial framework.
The relevant portfolio mainly includes listed and unlisted shares, private equity, units of mutual, hedge and private equity funds. For all the Group
equity positions, capital charges may be calculated using either a PD/LGD-based approach or a market-based one. Listed equity holdings and
funds, which are a subset of Financial Investment risk are part of UGRM calculation. The unlisted component is evaluated into the Group Credit
Portfolio Model (GCPM). The calculation of the risk is based on the maximum potential loss, i.e. Value at Risk (VaR), with a confidence level set
according to the regulation and over a one-year time horizon and is executed inside credit and market risk models according to the nature of the
underlying portfolio. Financial investments risk is calculated quarterly for monitoring and for planning purposes according to the relevant time
scheduling.
Risk measurement methods
Within the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and in line with the proportionality principle defined in Pillar II of Basel II, the risk
profile of the Group and the main Group legal entities is assessed for all the Pillar II risk types.
Credit, market, operational, reputational, business, financial investments and real estate risks are measured quantitatively, by:
• Economic Capital and aggregation as an input for Internal Capital;
• Stress tests.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 393
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The Internal Capital represents the capital needed to face the potential losses inherent in the Group’s business activities and takes into
consideration all the Pillar II risk types identified by the Group and which are quantifiable in terms of Economic Capital: credit, market, operational,
reputational, business, financial investments and real estate risks. The effect of the diversification between risk types (“inter-risk diversification”) and
of the diversification at portfolio level (“intra-risk diversification”) is calculated. In addition a Capital add-on is calculated as prudential cushion in order
to account for model risk uncertainty.
Internal Capital is calculated using a Bayesian Copula with a one year time horizon and a confidence level in line with the regulation. For control
purposes, the Internal Capital is calculated quarterly and disclosed to Senior Management quarterly through RAF Monitoring & Integrated Risk
reporting; it is also calculated for planning purposes according to the relevant time scheduling.
The multidimensional nature of risk requires to supplement the measurement of economic capital with stress testing, not only in order to estimate
losses in certain scenarios, but also to assess their impacts in terms of capital requirements. Stress testing is a key risk management tool for the
management of the relevant risks in order to assess the bank's vulnerability with respect to exceptional but plausible events, providing additional
information to the monitoring activities.
Stress testing activities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, are performed on the basis of a set of internally defined stress scenarios, that
include the Group main geographies where the Group is active and are carried out at least twice a year.
In the context of the activities of risk measurement prescribed by Pillar II, the Group stress test methodology considers the impacts on the various
risks generated from the materialisation of market and macro-economic adverse scenarios. These scenarios are drawn analysing both current
macro-economic events and plausible future events that could take place and that are considered penalizing for the Group.
The stress test exercise is performed both with reference to single risk types and as an overall considering possible interactions. The results of the
exercise are represented by the additional expected losses and by the stressed Economic Capital. The overall results consider both the single risk
variations as well as any possible benefit of diversification.
Since 2017, two complementary approaches are considered in stress testing activities: the so called “Normative Perspective” focuses on the impacts
of stressed scenarios on regulatory capital metrics while the “Economic Perspective” quantifies impacts of scenarios on the Risk Taking Capacity,
defined as the ratio between Available Financial Resources (i.e., the amount of financial resources available to absorb losses and to ensure the
business continuity of the Group) and the Internal Capital.
The Group Senior Management is involved in the Group-wide stress test in the following phases:
• market and macro-economic stressed scenarios approval used to estimate the impacts on regulatory and economic capital;
• after the exercise is finalised, with the approval of the results and impacts and a potential discussion of actions to return into the predetermined
limits of capital.
The adequacy of the risk measurement methodologies supporting the ICAAP, including stress testing and risk aggregation, is checked by internal
validation functions.
Consistently with the corporate governance system, the function Group Integrated Risks of UniCredit S.p.A. is responsible for the Group Economic
and Internal Capital methodology development and their measurement, as well as for the setting and implementation of the Group related
processes. The "Group Rules", after the approval, are submitted to relevant legal entities for approval and implementation.
Reputational risk
Reputational risk is defined as the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from the adverse perception of the image of the financial
institution on the part of customers, counterparties (including also debt-holders, market analysts, other relevant parties), shareholders/investors,
regulators or employees (stakeholders).
Reputational risk is a secondary risk generated as a "knock-on effect" from risk categories, such as credit, market, operational and liquidity risks and
all others risks types (e.g. business risk, strategy risk, ESG risk which considers the environmental, social and governance aspects of responsible
investments). Reputational risk could also be generated from material events.
Since 2010 UniCredit group has ruled the reputational risk and the policy currently in place is the Group Reputational Risk management policy which
aims at defining a general set of principles and rules for assessing and controlling reputational risk. In addition, since 2017 the Global Process
Regulation “Reputational Risk management for Material Events” has been in force with the aim of defining a straightforward escalation process to
the Parent Company’s Senior Management for events not managed via existing Reputational Risk processes in order to allow it to react promptly in
managing the potential consequences.
The reputational risk management is in charge to the Group Operational & Reputational Risks Department of UniCredit S.p.A. and to dedicated
functions within the Group legal entities.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
The Group Reputational Risk Committee (GRRC) is in charge of evaluating possible Reputational risks inherent transactions, on the basis of the
current Reputational risk guidelines and policies. In particular, is responsible for the assessment:
• of the reputational risks of initiatives/transactions banking/projects/customers and other topics [business activities] originated by:
- UniCredit S.p.A. and evaluated, by the reputational risk function, as cases with a high reputational risk;
- Group Legal Entities, evaluated as high reputational risk by the local Reputational Risk Committees and to submit to a Group transactional
committee (e.g. Group Transactional Credit Committee/GTCC, Italian Transactional Credit Committee/ITCC);
• the reputational risk related to material events.
The GRCC meets with approval functions, before the files are submitted to any other decisional Committee, for decisions concerning UniCredit
S.p.A. business activities and for issuing non-binding Opinions on other Group Legal Entities, and with consulting and suggestion functions in order
to support the Group Chief Risk Officer on the governance guidelines for the management of the reputational risk and on other relevant topics
referred to the reputational risk.
In addition, the setup of the Group Risk & Internal Control Committee ensures consistency in Reputational risk policies, methodologies and practices
controlling and monitoring the Group Reputational risk portfolio.
The current policies mitigating specific Reputational risk topics regard “Defense/Weapons Industry”, “Nuclear Energy”, “Mining”, “Water
Infrastructure (dam)” “Coal fired power generation, ” and Non-Conventional Oil & Gas and Arctic Region Oil &Gas Industry Sector.. In 2020, it has
been completed the update of the “Coal fired power generation” policy, which provides a total exit from the coal industry in all markets by 2028.
UniCredit group developed a proprietary methodology for the quantification of reputational risk and the consequent calculation of the Value-at-Risk
(VaR) for such a risk.
The methodology estimates the semi-elasticity between the “media sentiment” referred to UniCredit (summarised into the Media Tonality Index,
provided by an external company, PRIME Research, qualified in Reputation Intelligence and Media Monitoring) and the market expectations
regarding the Group expected future profits, which are derived from equity prices via the reverse engineering of a dividend discount model, once
sterilised from the effects affecting the whole European banking sector.
The Reputational VaR represents the maximum (at 99.9% confidence level) potential reduction of future earnings as derived from the estimated
model parameters and the distribution of the Media Tonality Index.
Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
Regarding reputational risks, the necessary measures to protect the health of employees and clients have been put in place.
Top and emerging risks
In UniCredit, the management and monitoring of risks is based on a dynamic approach; Top Management is promptly informed on top risks and/or
emerging risks through a strict monitoring process embedded in the risk assessment process.
The Risk Management identifies and estimates these risks and submits them regularly to senior/top management and Board of Directors which take
the appropriate actions to manage and mitigate risks.
The following top and/or emerging risks have been considered relevant during 2020:
1. Covid-19 pandemic impacts;
2. Macroeconomic and (geo-)political challenges around the globe;
3. Climate and environmental risks;
4. Cyber security risks;
5. Risks stemming from the current Regulatory developments.
1. The Covid-19 pandemic impact
The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak triggered a global health crisis, swiftly implicating an unprecedented impact on the global economy due to the
prolonged lock-down measures - both at national and local levels – as well as travel/trade restrictions. In terms of the macroeconomic and (geo-)
political risks, the Covid-19 pandemic shifted the focus across the world towards world-wide and country-level efforts and measures to deal with this
crisis. It had impact in accelerating the massive digitalization of financial institutions and a shift towards new operating model with more remote-
based/online channels of client servicing. The outlook of the pandemic evolution path still remains highly uncertain, as well as the magnitude of the
economic impact.
The rapid progress on first Covid-19 vaccines development and approval by relevant authorities is encouraging to speed up the recovery. However,
their roll-out and distribution process still appears to be slower than originally planned in many countries and their effectiveness, also considering the
new strains of virus recently declared to be more contagious, is yet to be assessed.
Since the pandemic outbreak in the first months of the year, UniCredit addressed the crisis putting in place and constantly enhancing pre-emptive
measures and guidelines to face the Covid-19 emergency, proactive managing the evolving situation across all dimensions of its risk profile.
For further information on impact of Covid-19 pandemic outbreak impact on risks, refer to paragraph “Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic”
contained in each section of this Part E (Credit risk, Market risk, Liquidity risk and Operational risks).

2. Macroeconomic and (geo-)political risks
Some global trends and geopolitical risks, besides Covid-19 implications, continue to be considered relevant: global trade tensions, especially
between U.S. and China, geopolitical instability across the globe spanning from EU to the Middle-East region as well as political uncertainties in
some emerging markets including India and Latin America. The Gulf tensions risk has decreased due to the lower likelihood of the direct
confrontation between U.S. and Iran.
The beginning of the year has been characterised by the oil price war with Saudi Arabia and Russia as the main actors, having impact on other
countries highly dependent on oil exports, such as OPEC members (Iraq, Algeria and Nigeria) as well as U.S. shale producers. In the beginning of
the year the oil markets have been very volatile initially due to the tensions between large oil suppliers, what has been than intensified with the
Covid-19 pandemic outbreak affecting global demand. The situation with the oil markets is characterised with the oversupply and substantial
declines in demand due to, initially, increases in production by Saudi Arabia and Russia and, subsequently, due to the Covid-19 spread across the
globe. All these factors, together with the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, substantially worsening the downside for the global economy and financial
markets, have been weighing on business/investor sentiment and translating to an unprecedented economic slowdown.
In light of the oil price war mentioned above and direct impact on the GDP and local currency strength with respect to USD and UE, the Russian
economy has been already heavily hit during the whole 2020. The country’s budget is strictly tied with a certain level of oil prices and has been re-
assessed under different scenarios resulting in a yet uncertain final long-term outlook on the budget deficit. The magnitude of the domestic
economic downturn considering also the global uncertainty remains to be yet estimated.
The United States, resulting as one of the most affected countries by the Covid-19, had turbulent year considering serious repercussions on its
economy and the political instability linked to the presidential elections at the end of the year. A path to the stabilization regarding internal political
situation as well as impact of the USA on the geo-political landscape is expected with the new president Joe Biden and his administration entering
the office in January 2021.
At the end of the year the deal on the UK’s future trading and security relationship with the European Union has been agreed between the sides just
a week before the end of the Brexit transition period. While partially reducing the uncertainty on the way forward for both sides and being definitely
better than the “no-deal” scenario, some crucial implications remained yet to be assessed. In particular, the raise in cost of trading is very likely to
happen post-Brexit and the adjustment of the financial services regulation has yet to be implemented in order to not curtail the cross-border
business.
3. The climate-related and environmental risks
Climate change-related risks (both physical and transition) and the accompanying shift towards sustainable finance are mounting challenges to the
financial sector and may impact other types of risks.
In context of an evolving regulatory framework that in 2020 put even more emphasis on the climate risk topic, the Group aims to continue to
proactively address these challenges by means of increased commitment to sustainability and tangible initiatives aimed at improving the
management of risks to anticipate the possible increases in the riskiness of specific sectors and to analyze the possible requests of the regulatory
Authorities.
A very first step in the achievement of this important aspiration was the setting up of a dedicated team within the Group Risk Management (GRM)
function, responsible for the supervision and management of issues related to climate change and environmental risks and UniCredit’s approach to
sensitive sectors. A major step forward put in place by the team is the definition of a dedicated internal methodology aimed at assessing Climate and
Environmental exposure and vulnerability of the lending portfolio. Furthermore, UniCredit was one of the participating banks to the Paris Agreement
Capital Transition Assessment (PACTA) methodology developed by 2° Investing Initiative (2°ii). The Group also participated to the European
Banking Authority 2020 voluntary pilot sensitivity exercise. With reference to physical risk it has been performed a preliminary estimation at Group
level of potential impact of some chronic (i.e. sea-level rise) and acute (i.e. Landslide and Flooding) hazards on the value of mortgage collaterals
related to properties located on the most exposed areas. UniCredit group endorsed the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures
(TCFD) recommendations, signed up to the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), launched by the United Nations Environment Program to
help banks align their business strategy with society’s goals.
For further details on climate change’s impact refer also to the Integrated Report published on UniCredit website.
4. Cyber Security Risk
Along with the continuous digitalisation of banking services, that has been accelerated in light of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, both the financial
industry and its clients are increasingly exposed to cyber risks. This requires reinforced governance with a continuous strong focus on data
protection and cyber security. The impact of cyber risks can cause service interruptions, as well as the loss of integrity and availability of data and
information.
UniCredit group have in the past years been subject to cyber-attacks which led, even though only in a few limited cases, to the theft of data. To
address cyber risks, UniCredit continuously enhances its cyber security program aiming at further strengthening the security controls.

5. Developments in the Regulatory environment
Over the last few years, the regulatory framework in which financial institutions act has become increasingly complex and stricter. This complexity
has further increased following the introduction of new financial regulations, some of them being still under discussion, and by the ECB central role
in the supervision of a large portion of the European banking system. All these changes might significantly affect UniCredit and introduce additional
challenges for the general banking sector profitability and capital requirements.
The most relevant changes are the following:
• Revision to the Basel 3 framework for the calculation of risk weighted assets for credit, operational, credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risks
published in December 2017 (known as Basel 4). The regulator’s ultimate goal is to restrict the usage of internal models for measuring credit risk
on some specific portfolios and to return to a more stringent standardised approach as well as to eliminate internal models for operational risks.
Basel 4 also introduces an aggregate output floor. These revisions are complemented by the change to the market risk framework (Fundamental
Review of Trading Book - “FRTB”) finalised in January 2019, which envisages the introduction of more stringent and sophisticated internal models
and standardised approaches for measuring market risk in the trading portfolios. The Basel Committee issued in July 2020 a set of targeted
changes to the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk framework issued in December 2017 in order to ensure a better alignment with the more
recent FRTB. On March 27, 2020, the Basel Committee's oversight body, the group of central bank Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS)
changed the implementation timeline of the outstanding Basel III standards. In particular the implementation date of the Basel III standards
finalised in December 2017 (credit risk and operational risk) has been deferred by one year to 1 January 2023. The EU Commission, also due to
Covid-19 related delays, is deemed to publish the proposals to implement Basel III in the EU in late 2Q2021, the publication in the Official Journal
is currently expected not earlier than in 2024;
• In March 2018 the ECB published the “Addendum to the Guidance on Non-Performing Exposures” (“NPEs”) which sets out supervisory
expectations for the provisioning of exposures reclassified from performing to non-performing exposures after 1 April 2018. In April 2019 however
the European Commission’s amendment to Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) introduced a minimum loss coverage ratio for new loans
becoming NPEs after 26 April 2019 (the “statutory backstop”). On 22 August 2019, the ECB decided to revise its supervisory expectations for
prudential provisioning of new non-performing exposures. The decision was made after considering the adoption of the new EU regulation that
outlines the Pillar I treatment for NPEs. The initiatives that originate from the ECB are strictly supervisory (Pillar II) in nature. In contrast, the
European Commission’s requirement is legally binding (Pillar I). The above-mentioned developments result in three “buckets” of NPEs based on
the date of the exposure’s origination and the date of NPE’s classification:
- NPEs classified before 1 April 2018 (Pillar II - Stock): 2/7 years vintage buckets for unsecured/secured NPEs, subject to supervisory coverage
recommendations and phase-in paths as communicated in SREP letters;
- NPEs originated before 26 April 2019 (Pillar II - ECB Flows): 3/7/9 years vintage buckets for unsecured/secured other than by immovable
property/secured by immovable property, progressive path to 100%;
- NPEs originated on or after 26 April 2019 (Pillar I - CRR Flows): 3/7/9 years vintage buckets for unsecured/secured other than by immovable
property/secured by immovable property, progressive path to 100%.
• In May 2020 the European Banking Authority (EBA) published its Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring that expect institutions to develop
robust and prudent standards to ensure newly originated loans are assessed properly. The Guidelines also aim to ensure that the institutions’
practices are aligned with consumer protection rules and respect fair treatment of consumers. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, institutions
need to maintain good credit risk management and monitoring standards that is essential for supporting lending to the economy. To address the
current circumstances the new Guidelines, contain additional transition periods for recently renegotiated loans to help institutions better focusing
on their immediate operational priorities. The Guidelines will apply from 30 June 2021. But positively, institutions will benefit from a series of
transitional arrangements: (1) the application to the already existing loans and advances that require renegotiation will apply from 30 June 2022,
and (2) institutions will be allowed to address possible data gaps and adjust their monitoring frameworks and infrastructure until 30 June 2024;
• On 1 July 2020 the European Banking Authority (EBA) published its final Guidelines on the treatment of structural FX positions, applicable from 1
January 2022. The aim of these Guidelines is to establish a harmonised framework for the application of the structural FX waiver and identify
objective criteria to assist Competent Authorities in their assessment of the structural nature of a foreign-exchange position and to understand
whether such position has been deliberately taken for hedging the capital ratio;
• Entry into force from June 2021 of a binding 3% minimum leverage ratio, an additional regulatory requirement compared to the risk-based
indicators envisaged in the Basel 3 package. The leverage ratio aims to constrain the building up of financial leverage in the banking industry, as
well as to reinforce the capital requirements with a supplementary measure not based on risk parameters. The final regulation for the European
Union (CRR2), including the binding leverage ratio, has been published in June 2019.In March 2020, the group of central bank Governors and
Heads of Supervision revised the implementation timeline of the final elements of the Basel III framework. While most of the final elements still
need to be implemented in Union law, the leverage ratio buffer requirement for global systemically important institutions has already been
implemented through the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) 2019/876. Therefore, and in order to ensure a level playing field
internationally for institutions established in the Union and operating also outside the Union, the date of application for the leverage ratio buffer
requirement set out in that Regulation has been deferred by one year to 1 January 2023. With the application of the leverage ratio buffer
requirement postponed, during the postponement period there would be no consequences resulting from a failure to meet that requirement as set
out in article 141c of Directive 2013/36/EU and no related restriction on distributions set out in article 141b of that Directive;

• In addition to changes implemented in the CRR2, also the revision to the leverage ratio calculation (mainly on the exposure measure) introduced
by the Basel 4 package will have to be implemented in Europe through the further revision of the CRR (CRR2) and enter into force not earlier than
the beginning of 2024;
• Entry into force of the liquidity requirements envisaged in Basel 3: a short term indicator (Liquidity Coverage Ratio - “LCR”), with the goal to have
banks maintain a liquidity buffer to survive a 30-days period of stress, and a structural liquidity indicator (the Net Stable Funding Ratio - “NSFR”)
referring to a time horizon over one year, introduced to ensure that assets and liabilities have a sustainable structure in terms of maturity. While the
LCR is already in force, the NSFR has been introduced as a requirement in the CRR2 published last June 2019 and will apply from June 2021;
• TLAC/MREL introduction: the Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) introduced by the Financial Stability Board as a global standard for G-SIBs,
and aimed at ensuring that institutions maintain a sufficient amount of financial resources to absorb losses and recapitalize in case of stress, was
implemented in Europe through the CRR2/CRDV, published in June 2019. The European transposition of TLAC, i.e. the “Pillar 1” Minimum
Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (Pillar 1 MREL) applies to all G-SIIs; “Pillar 2” MREL instead is bank-specific and was
introduced by the BRRD in 2014 and later amended in June 2019 (BRRD2). TLAC (Pillar 1 MREL) has become binding in June 2019 as a
transitional requirement, equal to 16% of Risk Weighted Assets (RWAs) + the Combined Buffer Requirement and will reach its fully loaded level
(18% of RWAs + Combined Buffer Requirement) in January 2022. MREL, instead, is being phased-in and reaches its fully loaded level in January
2024 (with an intermediate binding target in January 2022);
• Discussion of preferential treatment of sovereign exposure in banks’ banking book: banks’ exposures to the home sovereign currently benefit of a
zero-risk weight. There is no concrete proposal under consultation yet, but policy makers and regulators are discussing which approach to adopt, if
any, to remove this preferential treatment. On the one hand, the European Commission (DG FISMA) is drafting a document which allegedly sets
out EC's priorities for completing the Banking Union: these include the revision of the treatment of sovereign exposure which might foresee
application of concentration charges. On the other hand, in 2018 the European Parliament issued a proposal, on which discussions have stalled, to
allow preferential treatment to a new class of State Bond-Backed Securities (“SBBS”), to encourage diversification of banks’ holdings of euro zone
bonds. SBBS would be a new type of asset created by the private sector based on a pre-defined pool of sovereign bonds of the Euro area Member
States;
• Climate risk and environmental risk regulation updates:
- ECB issued in November 2020 a Guide with supervisory expectations - based on current regulations - on how banks should incorporate climate-
related and environmental risks into business strategy, governance, credit-granting process, Risk Appetite Frameworks, risk management
framework, liquidity and capital adequacy processes, through dedicated stress testing scenarios;
- EBA, EIOPA and ESMA published joint consultation paper on the proposed Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) disclosure
standards. EBA also published in November 2020 a discussion paper on ESG risk with a final report due in June 2021. New EBA Guidelines are
expected in 2021 and 2022.

Section 1 - Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity
A. Qualitative information
UniCredit group deems as priority the activities of capital management and capital allocation based on the risks taken, with the aim of expanding the
Group’s operations in a value creation perspective. These activities are structured in the different phases of the Group planning and monitoring
process and, in particular, in:
• planning and budgeting processes:
- proposals of risks appetite and capitalisation objectives;
- analysis of risks associated with value drivers and allocation of capital to business areas and units;
- assignment of risk-adjusted performance objectives;
- analysis of the impact on the Group’s value and the creation of value for shareholders;
- preparation and proposal of the equity plan and dividend policy;
• monitoring processes:
- analysis of performance achieved at Group and business unit level and preparation of managerial reports for internal and external use;
- analysis and monitoring of limits;
- analysis and performance monitoring of the capital ratios of the Group and single entities.
The Group has committed itself to generate income in excess to the one necessary to remunerate risk (cost of equity) and to create value for its
shareholders by allocating capital to the various business areas and business units on the basis of specific risk profiles. In order to support the
planning and monitoring processes, the Group adopts a methodology based on risk-adjusted performance measurement (RAPM) which provides a
number of indicators that combine and summarise the operating, financial and risk-related variables to be considered.
Therefore, the Group capital and its allocation are of paramount importance in the definition of corporate strategies, as, on the one hand, the Group
Capital represents the shareholders’ investment in the Group, which needs to be adequately remunerated, and on the other hand, it is a scarce
resource subject to the external constraints set by the regulators.
In the allocation process, the definitions of capital adopted are the following:
• risk or employed capital: this is the equity component provided by shareholders (employed capital) which must be remunerated through an income
generation higher than or equal to expectations (cost of equity);
• capital at risk: this is the portion of capital and reserves that is used (the budgeted amount or allocated capital) or was used to cover (at
• period-end - absorbed capital) the risks taken to pursue the objective of creating value.
If capital at risk is measured through risk management methods, then it is defined as internal capital; if it is measured through regulatory provisions,
then it is defined as regulatory capital.
Internal capital and regulatory capital differ in terms of their definition and the categories of risk covered. The former is based on the actual
measurement of the exposure taken, while the latter is based on schedules specified in regulatory provisions.
Internal capital is set at such a level to cover adverse events with a high level of probability, while regulatory capital is quantified on the basis of a
CET1 target ratio in line with the one of major international banking groups and taking into account the impacts of the supervisory regulations in
force or that will be adopted. Capital Allocated to Business Segment is quantified by regulatory capital.
The capital management activity aims at defining the target level of capitalisation for the Group and its companies in line with supervisory regulations
and the risk appetite.
UniCredit group has identified a Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio MDA buffer target between 200 and 250 basis points, as announced during the “Team
23” Capital Markets Day held in London on 3 December 2019 (https://www.unicreditgroup.eu/content/dam/unicreditgroup-
eu/documents/en/investors/Capital-Markets-Day/2019/UniCredit_PR_Team23_ENG.pdf).
The capital management activities envisage the development of the capital plan and the monitoring the regulatory capital ratios.
The monitoring activity is focused, on the one hand, on capital, according to both accounting and regulatory definition (Common Equity Tier 1,
Additional Tier 1, Tier 2 Capital and TLAC), and, on the other hand, on the planning and performance of Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA).
The capital management is intended as dynamic activity continuously aiming at identifying the most suitable investment and capital instruments
(ordinary shares and other capital instruments) for achieving the defined targets and strategies. If there is a capital shortfall, the gaps to be filled and
the capital generation measures that can be used are identified, and their cost and efficiency are measured through the RAPM methodology. In this
context, value analysis is enhanced by the aspects regarding, among others, regulatory, accounting, financial, tax-related and risk management
issues; in this way, is possible to perform the necessary assessments and to provide with the necessary instructions to the functions of the Holding
or of the Group companies asked to implement the actions identified.

Introduction
For the purposes of financial disclosure, in accordance with the Commission Regulation (EU) No.632/2010 of 19 July 2010, the text of IAS24
applies, which defines the concept of related party and identifies the relations between that party and the entity producing the financial statements.
IAS24 also explains that the disclosure should include transactions entered into with subsidiaries of associates and subsidiaries of joint ventures.
Pursuant to IAS24, UniCredit S.p.A.’s related parties include:
• companies belonging to UniCredit group and companies controlled by UniCredit but not consolidated;
• associates and joint ventures, as well as their subsidiaries;
• UniCredit’s “Key management personnel”;
• close family members of “key management personnel” and companies controlled (or jointly controlled) by key management personnel or their
close family members;
• UniCredit group employee post-employment benefit plans.
Key management personnel are persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling UniCredit’s activities, directly or
indirectly. Key management personnel include the Chief Executive Officer and the other members of the Board of Directors, the Statutory Auditors,
the General Manager and the other Senior Executive Vice Presidents directly reporting to the Board of Directors or to the Chief Executive Officer.
Also for the management of related-party transactions refer to the discipline established by Consob Regulation No.17221/2010 (deriving from the
provisions of Art.2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code) and by Banca d’Italia Circular No.285/2013 (Part III, Chapter 11, Section I) as well as the
provisions pursuant to Art.136 of Legislative Decree No.385/1993, under which corporate officers may assume obligations towards the bank they
manage, direct or control, only upon unanimous approval of the board of the bank and positive opinion of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
In this regard, UniCredit, as a listed issuer and subject to Banca d’Italia regulations, has adopted the Global Policy “Transactions with related parties,
associated persons and Corporate Officers ex art.136 CBA”, approved by UniCredit’s Board of Directors with the positive opinion of the Related-
Parties Committee and of the Board of Statutory Auditors, which is published on UniCredit website (www.unicreditgroup.eu), designed to define
preliminary and conclusive rules with respect to transactions initiated by UniCredit, including those conducted through subsidiaries, with related
parties, and the manner in which information is disclosed to corporate bodies, the supervisory authorities and the market.
Specific guidelines contained in the Global Policy have been distributed to the company’s functions and Group Legal Entities in order to
systematically abide to the above-mentioned reporting requirements.
UniCredit has also established, in accordance with those guidelines, the abovementioned Related-Parties Committee and Equity Investments,
consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors among its members qualified as "independent" within the meaning of Art.3 of the
Corporate Governance Code.
In addition, UniCredit applies specific procedures regarding internal controls on risk activities with subjects in conflict of interests regulated in the
Global Policy “Transactions with related parties, associated persons and Corporate Officers ex art.136 CBA”.
During 2020, transactions carried out with related parties reported in the data streams provided by the reference standards, were executed and
carried out based on assessments of the economic convenience and interests of the Group.

The information reported above include the compensation paid to Directors (€3.9 million), Statutory Auditors (€0.9 million), and other Managers with
strategic responsibilities (€11 million), as shown in the document "Information Tables Pursuant Art.84 -quarter “Annual Report - Section II” of the
Regulation No.11971 Issued by Consob" attached to the “2020 Group Remuneration Policy”, and about €12 million relating to other costs (the
company share of social security contributions, accruals to severance pay funds and share-based payments using UniCredit and its subsidiaries’
equity instruments).
The compensation paid shows a substantial stability versus 2019, in line with the approach to remuneration that had been adopted during Transform
2019 plan and confirmed with the Team 23 Plan. The increase in the total compensation versus the previous year is linked to:
• the enlargement by one unit of the management team with strategic responsibilities, and
• the greater impact of costs for share-based payments, mainly related to the CEO.
Conversely, there were no costs related to severance payments during 2020, compared to 4 million in the previous year.

Part H - Related-party transactions
The “Other related-parties IAS” category includes:
• close family members of key management personnel (i.e. those family members who, as is expected, may influence, or be influenced by, the
person in question);
• companies controlled (or jointly controlled) by key management personnel or their close family members;
• Group employee post-employment benefit plans.
The main related-party transactions are the following:
• In 2012 the subsidiary UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. (US) formerly UniCredit Business Integrated Solutions S.C.p.A. (UBIS), assumed the role of
operating sub-holding to provide the Group’s support services both in Italy and abroad.
• On 19 April 2013, the Board of Directors of US approved the executive plan of the project aimed at establishing a joint venture with another major
player in the industry, IBM Italia S.p.A. (IBM), for the provision of technological infrastructure services (hardware, data center, etc.) to Commercial
Banking. The transaction was completed when US transferred, with effect from 1 September 2013, of “Information Technology" business unit to
the company "Value Transformation Services S.p.A.” (V-TServices), formed and controlled by IBM Italia S.p.A. Following the transaction, US holds
49% of V-TServices’s share capital; the remaining 51% is held by IBM (which is therefore the controlling shareholder).
• On 23 December 2016, the “Restatement and Amendment Agreement” was signed between UniCredit Services and V-TS with the aim of
increasing value creation and ability to catch new opportunities from technological evolution, with the extention of the term until 2026.
• The “Second Restatement and Amendment Agreement” between UniCredit Services and V-TS was signed on 22 December 2019, with effect from
1 January 2020, with the extension of the term of the 3-year contract until 2029.
• The services provided to UniCredit group by the abovementioned companies result in an exchange of fees (administrative costs).
• With reference to transactions with Mediobanca S.p.A. (“Mediobanca”), entirely sold at the end of 2019, in addition to the transactions falling within
the ordinary course of business and financial activity, UniCredit S.p.A. has entered into a thirty-year usufruct contract on UniCredit S.p.A. shares
with Mediobanca, under which Mediobanca gives back to UniCredit S.p.A., in return for a consideration (recorded as a reduction in Shareholders’
Equity), the right to vote and receive dividends on UniCredit S.p.A. shares subscribed in January 2009, as part of the capital increase approved by
UniCredit S.p.A. in November 2008. These shares were concomitantly used, by Mediobanca, in support of the issuance of convertible securities
denominated “Cashes”.
Following the resolutions of UniCredit S.p.A.’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of December 2011, the number of shares underlying the
usufruct contract and the formula for calculating the remuneration fees in favor of Mediobanca were adjusted to reflect (i) the reverse split of
UniCredit S.p.A. shares and (ii) the free capital increase of December 2011 carried out through the allocation to capital of an equivalent amount
transferred from the issue-premium reserve recorded in January 2009. A further reverse split of UniCredit S.p.A. shares underlying the usufruct
agreement has been approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of January 2017. In 2020 the fourth installment referred to the 2018
result has been paid for €31 million and the first, second and third installments referred to the 2019 result has been paid respectively for €30
million, €31 million and €30 million.
• In 2018, through a competitive auction process, UniCredit S.p.A. has signed long-term partnership with Allianz for the exclusive distribution of Life
and Non-Life bancassurance products (excluding Credit Protection products) in Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Czech Republic
and Slovakia (and potentially in Bosnia in case the conditions are met). The partnership was implemented in these countries, through local
distribution agreements, in compliance with the all the local regulations, in the second half of 2018.
• In September 2020 “UCI” agreed, coherently with the obligations toward UniCredit Bank Austria (“UCBA”), in the context of re-organization of
activities within CEE made in 2016, to review existing intercompany agreements, indemnifying UCBA for costs which it will incur in the context of
Wien Permanent estabilishment re-organization. For further information refer to Part A - Accounting policies, Section 5 - Other matters of the
present Consolidated notes to the accounts.
It should be noted that distribution agreements concerning insurance products were signed with the following associates:
• Aviva S.p.A.;
• CNP UniCredit Vita S.p.A.;
• Creditras Assicurazioni S.p.A.;
• Creditras Vita S.p.A.;
• Incontra Assicurazioni S.p.A.
The relationships with other related parties include the relationships with external pension funds (for UniCredit S.p.A. employees) since they have
separate legal personality. These transactions were conducted on the same terms and conditions as those applied to transactions with independent
third parties. The relationships with these pension funds are almost entirely represented by the relationships included in Deposits from customers
(and related interests).

Part I - Share-based payments
Qualitative information
1. Description of payment agreements based on own equity instruments
1.1 Outstanding instruments
Group Medium & Long Term Incentive Plans for selected employees include the following category:
• Equity-Settled Share Based Payments, which provide for the delivery of shares.
This category includes the following:
• Stock Options allocated to selected top & senior managers and key talents of the Group and represented by subscription rights of UniCredit
shares;
• Group Executive Incentive System (Bonus Pool) that offer to eligible Group executives and relevant employees identified following regulatory
rules, a bonus structure composed by upfront (following the moment of performance evaluation) and deferred payments in cash and in shares, to
be paid over a period of ranging from 1 to 6 years. This payment structure will guarantee the alignment to shareholder interest and will be
subjected to malus (which applies in case specific profitability, capital and liquidity thresholds are not met at both Group and country/division level)
and claw back conditions (as legally enforceable) according to the plan rules (both non-market vesting conditions);
• Long Term Incentive 2017-2019 that offers to eligible executives and key players of the Group an incentive 100% based on ordinary UniCredit
shares, subject to 3-years deferral and to malus and claw-back conditions, as legally enforceable, according to the plan rules. The plan is
structured on 3-years performance period, aligned to the new UniCredit strategic plan and provides for the allocation of an award based on
gateway conditions on profitability, liquidity, capital and risk position and a set of performance conditions focused on Group targets, aligned with
Transform 2019;
• Long Term Incentive 2020-2023 that provides for the allocation of incentives based on free ordinary shares, subject to the achievement of
specific performance conditions to the Strategic Plan Team 23. The Plan is structured over a four-year performance period, consistent with
UniCredit's Strategic Plan, and provides for the for the granting of the possible award in 2024. The award is subject to a 4-year deferral period,
after the performance period, and to the respect during the performance period of the minimum conditions of profitability, capital requirements and
liquidity as well as positive assessment of Risk Appetite Framework According to Bank of Italy and EBA requirements and to further strengthen the
governance framework, the Plan includes rules of compliance breaches management, as well as their related impact on remuneration
components, through the application of malus and claw-back clauses.
It is also noted that, according to Banca d’Italia Circular 285 (25th update dated 23 October 2018), the equity-settled share based payments,
represented by deferred payments in UniCredit ordinary shares not subject to vesting conditions, are used for the settlement of the so-called golden
parachute (e.g. severance) for the relevant employees.
1.2 Measurement model
1.2.1 Stock Options
The Hull and White evaluation model has been adopted to measure the economic value of stock options.
This model is based on a trinomial tree price distribution using the Boyle’s algorithm and estimates the early exercise probability on the basis of a
deterministic model connected to:
• reaching a market share value equals to an exercise price-multiple (M);
• probability of beneficiaries’ early exit (E) after the end of the vesting period.
Economic and equity effects will be recognised on a basis of instrument vesting period.
Any new stock options’ plans haven’t been granted during 2020.
1.2.2 Group Executive Incentive System (Bonus Pool)
The economic value of performance shares is measured considering the share market price at the grant date less the present value of the future
dividends during the vesting period.
Economic and net equity effects will be accrued on a basis of instruments’ vesting period.

Part L - Segment reporting
Part L - Segment reporting
Organisational structure
The format for segment information reflects the organisational structure currently used in management reporting for monitoring the Group’s results,
which is broken down into the following business segments: Commercial Banking Italy, Commercial Banking Germany, Commercial Banking Austria,
Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Group Corporate Centre and Non Core. Figures in Section A - Primary
segment and referring to 2019 were recast, where necessary, on a like-to-like basis to consider changes in scope of business segment and
methodological rules. In particular, the sub-group Koc Finansal Hizmetler AS figures have been reclassified from CEE Division to Group Corporate
Centre.
Commercial Banking Italy
Commercial Banking Italy is composed by UniCredit S.p.A. commercial network limited to Core clients (excluding Corporate clients, supported by
Corporate and Investment Banking Division and clients supported by Foreign Branches), Leasing (excluding Non Core clients), Factoring and
UniCredit S.p.A. structures included in local Corporate Centre that support the Italian business network. In relation to individual clients (Mass market,
Affluent, Private and Wealth), Commercial Banking Italy’ s goal is to offer a full range of products, services and consultancy to fulfill transactional,
investments and credit needs, relying on branches and multichannel services provided thanks to new technologies. The territorial organisation
promotes a bank closer to customers and faster decision-making processes, while the belonging to UniCredit group allows to support companies in
developing International attitudes.
Commercial Banking Germany
Commercial Banking Germany provides all German customers (excluding Large Corporate and Multinational clients, supported by Corporate and
Investment Banking Division) with a complete range of banking products and services. It is composed of:
• “Privatkundenbank” (Individual Clients segment) that serves retail and private banking customers with banking and insurance solutions across all
areas of demand and all-round advisory services reflecting the individual and differentiated needs in terms of relationship model and product
offering;
• “Unternehmerbank” (Corporate segment) that employs a different “Mittelstand” bank model to its competitors in that it serves both business and
personal needs across the whole bandwidth of German enterprises and firms operating in Germany;
• local Corporate Centre.
Different service models are applied in line with the needs of its various customer groups: retail customers, private banking customers, small
business and corporate customers, real estate customers and wealth management customers. Commercial Banking Germany holds large market
shares and a strategic market position in retail banking, in private banking and especially in business with local corporate customers (including
factoring and leasing).
Commercial Banking Austria

Investment Banking Division) with a complete range of banking products and services. It is composed of:
• “Privatkundenbank” (Private Customer Bank) that covers private individuals, ranging from mass-market to affluent customers, high net-worth
individuals and business customers; it includes Schoellerbank, a well-established subsidiary servicing wealthy customers;
• “Unternehmerbank” (Corporate Customer Bank, excluding CIB clients) servicing the entire range of SMEs, medium-sized and large companies,
which do not access capital markets (including real estate and public sector); it includes the product factory Leasing;

A broad coverage of individual clients and companies is ensured through its nation-wide branch network.
Commercial Banking Austria holds significant market shares and a strategic market position in retail banking, private banking and especially in

banking services, as well as institutional clients of the Group. CIB serves UniCredit group’s clients across 31 countries with a wide range of

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part L - Segment reporting
The organisational structure of CIB is based on a matrix that integrates market coverage (carried out through an extensive commercial network in
Western Europe and an international network of branches and representative offices) and product offering (divided into three Product Lines that
consolidate the breadth of the Group’s CIB know-how).
The dedicated commercial networks (CIB Network Italy, CIB Network Germany, CIB Network Austria, CIB Network France, International Network,
Financial Institutions Group) are responsible for the relationships with corporate clients, banks and financial institutions as well as the sale of a broad
range of financial products and services, ranging from traditional lending and merchant banking operations to more sophisticated services with high
added value, such as project finance, acquisition finance and other investment banking services and operations in international financial markets.
The three following Product Lines supplement and add value to the activities of the commercial networks:
• Financing and Advisory (F&A) - F&A is the expertise center for all business operations related to credit and advisory services for corporate and
institutional clients. It is responsible for providing a wide variety of products and services ranging from plain vanilla and standardised products,
extending to more sophisticated products such as Capital Markets (Equity and Debt Capital Markets), Corporate Finance and Advisory,
Syndications, Leverage Buy-Out, Project and Commodity Finance, Real Estate Finance, Structured Trade and Export Finance.
• Markets - Markets is the center specialised for all financial markets activities and serves as the Group’s access point to the capital markets. This
results in a highly complementary international platform with a strong presence in emerging European financial markets. As a centralised product
line, it is responsible for the coordination of financial markets-related activities, including the structuring of products such as FX, Rates, Equities
and credit related activities.
• Global Transaction Banking (GTB) - GTB is the center for Cash Management, e-banking, Supply Chain Finance, Trade Finance products,
Factoring and global securities services.
Moreover, the controlled company UCI International Luxembourg operates in Global Family Office.
Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
The Group, through the CEE business segment, offers a wide range of products and services to retail, corporate and institutional clients in 10
Central and Eastern Europe countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia and
Slovenia. UniCredit group can offer its retail customers in the CEE countries a broad portfolio of products and services similar to those offered to its
Italian, German and Austrian customers.
With respect to corporate clients, UniCredit group is constantly engaged in standardizing the customer segments and range of products. The Group
shares its business models on an international level in order to ensure access to its network in any country where it is present. This approach is vital
due to the variety of global products offered, particularly cash management and trade finance solutions to corporate customers operating in more
than one CEE country.
Group Corporate Centre
The Group Corporate Centre’s objective is to lead, control and support the management of the assets and related risks of the Group as a whole and
of the single Group companies in their respective areas of competence. In this framework, an important objective is to optimize costs and internal
processes guaranteeing operating excellence and supporting the sustainable growth of the Business Lines. In the Group Corporate Centre are
included also the Group’s Legal Entities that are going to be dismissed and, regarding 2019 figures, the sub-group Koc Finansal Hizmetler AS.
Non Core
Starting from the first quarter 2014 the Group decided to introduce a clear distinction between above described activities defined as core segment,
meaning strategic business segments and in line with risk strategies, and activities defined as non-core segment, including non-strategic assets and
those with a poor fit to the Group’s risk-adjusted return framework, with the aim of reducing the overall exposure of this last segment in the course of
time and to improve the risk profile. Specifically, the non-core segment includes selected assets of Commercial Banking Italy (identified on a single
deal/client basis) to be managed with a risk mitigation approach and some special vehicles for securitization operations.

Part M - Information on leases
Part M - Information on leases
Section 1 - Lessee
Qualitative information
The Group in conducting its business, signs lease contracts for which accounts for rights of use that mainly relate to the following type of tangible
assets:
• land;
• buildings;
• office furniture and fitting;
• electronic systems;
• others (e.g. cars).
These contracts are accounted for in accordance with rules set in accounting standard IFRS16 further detailed in Part A - Accounting policies, A.2 -
Main items of the accounts (refer to this section).
The rights of use deriving from these lease contracts are mainly used to provide for services or for administrative purposes and accounted for
according to the cost method. If these rights of use are sub-leased to third parties, a financial or operating lease contract is booked based on their
characteristics.
As allowed by the accounting standard, the Group has decided not to account for rights of use or lease liabilities in case of:
• short-term leases, lower than 12 months; and
• lease of low value assets. In this regard, in this respect an asset is considered as low value if its fair value when new is equal to or lower than €5
thousand. This category mainly includes office machines (PCs, monitors, tablets, etc.) as well as fixed and mobile telephony devices.
The lease payments deriving from this type of activity are booked in item “190. Administrative expenses” on an accrual basis.
Finally, please note that the Group has entered into sale and lease back transactions concerning properties sold during the period, determining the
reduction of the corresponding right of use from €109 million to €43 million.
Quantitative information
The book value of the rights of use arising from lease contracts are exposed in Part B - Consolidated balance sheet – Assets, Section 9 - Property,
plant and equipment - Item 90 of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
During the year, these rights of use resulted in the recognition of depreciations for €328.4 million of which:
• €0.5 million relating to land;
• €310.3 million relating to buildings;
• €0.3 million relating to office furniture and fitting;
• €0.4 million relating to electronic systems;
• €16.9 million relating to the category other (eg. cars).
In addition, impairment (net of reversal) for €21.6 million has been booked.
With reference to lease liabilities, the related book value is shown in Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Liabilities, Section 1 - Financial liabilities
at amortised cost - Item 10 of the Notes to the consolidated accounts (refer to this section).
During the year, these lease liabilities led to the recognition of interest expenses shown in Part C - Consolidated income statement, Section 1 -
Interests - Items 10 and 20 of the Consolidated income statement of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
With reference to short-term leases and leases of low value assets, it should be noted that during the year, rentals were accounted for €97 million. It
should be note that such amount also includes VAT on rentals which is not included in the lease liability calculation.
Finally, with reference to the sublease contracts, it should be noted that these contracts determined interest income for €0.7 million during the year if
classified as financial leases and other operating income for €3.4 million if classified as operating leases.
For the purposes of determining the lease term, the Group considers the non-cancellable period established by the contract, during which the lessee
has the right to use the underlying asset as well as any renewal options where the lessee has reasonable expectation to proceed with the renewal.
In particular, with reference to contracts that provide the lessee with the option to automatically renew the lease at the end of a first period, the lease
term is determined considering elements such as the duration of the first period, the existence of any plan leading to the disposal of the asset leased
as well as any other circumstance indicating the reasonable certainty of renewal.
Therefore, the amount of cash flows, not reflected in the calculation of the lease liability, to which the Group is potentially exposed, is essentially due
to the possible renewal of lease contracts and the subsequent extension of the lease term not included in the original calculation of the lease
liabilities taking into account the information available and expectations existing as at 1 January 2019 (date of initial application of IFRS16) or on the
starting date of the lease.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part M - Information on leases
Section 2 - Lessor
Qualitative information
The Group mainly carries out financial leasing activities, particularly through its leasing companies.
These contracts are exposed through the recognition of a credit for financial leases recognised in item “40. Financial assets at amortised cost”, of
the related income on an accrual basis in item "10. Interest income and similar revenues" and of the impairment for the expected credit loss in item
“130. Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment”.
Operating leasing activities, on the other hand, are essentially attributable to the leasing of owned properties to parties external to the Group.
These contracts are represented through the recognition, on an accrual basis, of the rentals received in item “230. Other operating expenses/
income”.
Quantitative information
1. Balance sheet and Income statement information
With reference to financial lease contracts, the book value of credit for financial leases is shown in Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets,
Section 4 - Financial assets at amortised cost - Item 40 of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
Such loans determined, during the year, interest income shown in Part C - Consolidated income statement, Section 1 - Interests - Items 10 and 20 of
the Income statement of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
With reference to operating lease contracts, it should be noted that the book value of the owned assets granted under operating lease is composed
as follows:

The classification of the contract as a financial lease is determined by the fact that the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to
the lessee for the whole lease term and the contract contains an option to purchase the asset at conditions that determines non-economic the non-
exercise of the option, or the contract has a duration substantially aligned with the useful life of the asset leased. Such condition is also satisfied in
case of contracts that do not contain an option to purchase the asset or have a lease term significantly lower than useful life of the asset leased, but
are complemented by agreements with third parties that guarantee the purchase of the asset at the end of the lease contract.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 39 OF JANUARY 27, 2010
AND ARTICLE 10 OF THE EU REGULATION 537/2014

consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020, and of its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national
regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05 and to art. 43 of Italian
Legislative Decree no. 136/15.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our

Risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of performing customer loans
Description of the key
audit matter
As indicated in the Notes to the accounts Part B – Balance Sheet Information
(4.2 Financial Assets at amortised cost: breakdown by product of loans and
advances to customers), loans to customers (stage 1 and stage 2) are equal
to 440,238 million Euro.
As more broadly described in the Notes to the accounts and in the Report on
operations in 2020 the world economy faced an unprecedented contraction,
triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic which significantly impacted the Group's
business processes for identifying, monitoring and measuring credit risk.
The context was also characterized by new initiatives and concessions
introduced by the government and the monetary and fiscal authorities,
whose impacts on the Group's economic and financial situation are reported
in the Notes to the accounts in the following sections:
Part B – Balance sheet – Section 4 – Financial assets at amortised cost
(4.4a Financial assets at amortised cost subject to Covid-19 measures:
gross value and total accumulated impairments);
Part C – Income statement – Section 8 – Net losses/recoveries on credit
impairment (8.1a Net impairment losses for credit risk relating to
financial assets at amortised cost subject to Covid-19 measures:
breakdown);
Part E – Information on risks and hedging policies – Section A – Credit
quality (A.1.3a Other loans and advances subject to Covid-19 measures:
transfers between impairment stages (gross values) and A.1.5a Other
loans and advances subject to Covid-19 measures: gross and net value);
as required by the Bank of Italy Communication “Integration to Circular
No.262 requirements – Banks financial statements: schemes and compilation
rules” dated December 15, 2020 to provide the market with information on
the effects that the Covid-19 and the measures to support the economy
have produced on strategies, objectives and risk management policies, as
well as on the economic and financial situation of intermediaries.
In relation to the context described above and as more broadly illustrated in
the Notes to the accounts Part E – Information on risks and hedging policies
– Section 2 – Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter – Paragraph 2.3
Measurement methods for expected losses, as at December 31, 2020
performing loans valuation, compared to previous years, was characterized
by some new methodological aspects such as:
3
specific valuations adopted for the exposures, also subject to
concession (moratoria), in order to verify the significant increase in
credit risk, considering not only rating indicators but also prospective
indicators and sector analyses;
the new definition of default, whose more stringent classification
criteria are applicable starting from January 1, 2021, which the Group
has already taken into account for the purpose of evaluating the credit
risk of the counterparties.
The valuation of performing portfolio has been furthermore significantly
affected by the update of the macroeconomic scenarios and of the estimates
of the likelihood of defaults (the “default rate”) which are expected to rise
when the government protection schemes will expire; this in order to take
into account the persistence of a high degree of uncertainty and economic
forecasts that show a high volatility mainly linked to the effects of the Covid-
19 pandemic. For a more exhaustive information please refer to the Notes to
the accounts Part A – Accounting policies – Section 2 – General preparation
criteria – Measurement of Credit Exposures and to the Part E – Information
on risks and hedging policies – Section 2 – Risks of the prudential
consolidated perimeter – Paragraph 2.3 Measurement methods for expected
losses.
Considering the significance of the amount of the performing loans recorded
in the financial statements, the increased complexity in the estimation
processes adopted by the Group also to take into accounts the effects of the
Covid-19 pandemic, we have identified the classification of performing loans
- with particular reference to performing credit exposures with higher levels
of management risk ("watchlist" exposures) and to exposures subject to
concession - as well as the related process for determining collective loan
loss provisions, as a key audit matter of the consolidated financial
statements of the Group as at December 31, 2020.
Audit procedures
performed
The audit procedures performed, planned also considering the exceptional
macroeconomic environment and related Covid-19 impacts, included, among
others, the following:
analysis and understanding of the Group's internal control system and the
relative internal regulations concerning to the credit process, and in
particular, the identification of the organizational and procedural
safeguards implemented by the Group for monitoring credit quality, for
the adequacy of the classification according to the provisions of the sector
legislation and for the credit valuation in compliance with the applicable
accounting standards; such analyses were focused on the main aspects
referred to by the Supervisory Authorities following the Covid-19
pandemic;
4
analysis and understanding of the IT systems and applications used and
test of the operational effectiveness of relevant controls, also with the
support of IT experts belonging to the Deloitte network;
analysis of the implementation of the procedures and Group’s processes,
as well as test of the operational effectiveness of the relevant controls for
the purposes of the classification and valuation processes;
analysis and understanding of the main valuation models adopted by the
Group and of the related updates, as well as check on a sample basis of the
reasonableness of the parameters subject to estimation, also with the
support of credit model experts and IT experts belonging to the Deloitte
network;
analysis and verification of further assessments made by the Group for the
classification of Stage 2 exposures and for the valuation of counterparties
risk with particular reference to sector analyses and to the new definition
of default;
checks on a sample basis of the classification according to the provisions of
internal and sector legislation as well as of the related valuation in
compliance with the applicable accounting standards;
analysis and check of the collective valuation of performing loans, also
through the development of independent estimates;
comparative and trend analyses on the volumes of loans to customers and
on related coverage ratios, through comparison with the data of the
previous year and with sector data;
examination of the sensitivity analyses carried out by the Group on the
expected losses accounted for at year end to changes in macroeconomic
scenarios;
analysis of events occurring after the reference date of the financial
statements.
Finally, we have verified the adequacy and compliance of the disclosures
provided in the Notes to the accounts with respect to the requirements of the
applicable accounting standards and reference legislation, as well as the
contents of the interpretative and supporting documents for the application of
the accounting standards in relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by the
European regulatory and supervisory bodies.

Risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of non-performing loans to customers (“bad loans” and
“unlikely to pay”)
Description of the key
audit matter
As indicated in the Notes to the accounts Part B – Balance Sheet (4.2 Financial
assets at amortised cost: breakdown by product of loans and advances to
customers), the net carrying amount of non-performing loans to customers
(stage 3) is equal to 8,497 million Euro.
The Report on operations shows that non-performing loans coverage ratio as
at December 31, 2020 for bad loans is equal to 78.39% with a net carrying
value of 1,645 million Euro, for unlikely to pay is equal to 50.43% with a net
carrying value of 6,381 million Euro and for non-performing past-due is equal
to 33.70% with a net carrying value of 503 million Euro.
In the Notes to the accounts Part A – Accounting Policies – Section A.2 – Main
items of the accounts – Paragraph 16 – Other Information (Impairment) is
described that the valuation of bad loans and unlikely to pay takes place:
on an analytical basis, on the basis of the estimated recoverable cash
flows, discounted at the original interest rate of the financial asset;
on a statistical basis, through the acknowledgment of coverage levels
defined for credit portfolios below a predefined threshold;
and that, in accordance with the IFRS 9, the valuation of non-performing
loans was determined by including also the multiple scenarios applicable to
this type of exposures including any sale scenario where the Group's non-
performing loans asset strategy foresees the recovery through their disposal
on the market.
In addition, in the Notes to the accounts Part E – Information on risks and
hedging policies – Section 1 – Risks of the accounting consolidated perimeter –
Paragraph A – Credit quality, it is reported that during December 2020, the
management of the Bank updated its disposal plan 2021-2023 by providing,
in addition to the full rundown of the “Non-Core” portfolio (gross carrying
amount as at December 31, 2020 of 1.8 billion Euro), the disposal of non-
performing loans belonging to the “Core” perimeter of the Bank for a gross
carrying amount of 2.6 billion Euro at December 31, 2020, which were
evaluated on the basis of recovery through their disposal on the market
(“Selling Scenario”). This led to the inclusion of additional loan loss provisions
for 453 million Euro related to these exposures, in order to align recovery
forecasts with expected market prices (defined by observable internal or
market benchmarks, depending on the availability of the information and in
compliance with internal regulations).
Audit procedures
performed
6
Considering the significance of non-performing loans amount recorded in the
financial statements and the complexity of the estimation processes adopted
by the Group which implied a complex classification activity into homogeneous
risk categories and the use of some variables characterized by a high
subjectivity (such as the estimates of expected cash flows, the related recovery
times, the value of any guarantees and the recovery strategies, including the
disposal on the market) for the determination of the related recoverable
amount, we have identified the classification of non-performing loans (bad
loans and unlikely to pay) and their valuation as a key audit matter of the
consolidated financial statements of the Group as at December 31, 2020.
The audit procedures performed included, among others, the following:
analysis and understanding of the internal control system as well as the
related internal regulations regarding: (i) the monitoring of credit quality
(ii) the management of non-performing loans (iii) the adequacy of the
classification according to the provisions of the sector legislation and (iv)
the credit valuation in compliance with the applicable accounting
principles;
analysis and understanding of the IT systems and applications used and
test of the operational effectiveness of relevant controls, also with the
support of IT experts belonging to the Deloitte network;
verification of the implementation of the procedures and Group’s
processes, test of the operational effectiveness of the relevant controls for
the purposes of the classification and valuation processes;
analysis and understanding of the approval process by the competent
bodies of the Bank of the actions to strengthen the strategy of reducing
non-performing credit exposures included in the “Core” perimeter;
analysis and understanding of the valuation model adopted for the
determination of the additional loan loss provisions relating to non-
performing loans belonging to the Bank “Core” perimeter, valued on the
basis of the recovery expectations through the sale and verification of the
reasonableness of the expected market prices, also through the
development of independent estimates;
checks on a sample basis, for each category of non-performing loans, of
the classification and of the related valuation in compliance with the
Group’s internal regulations;
7
comparative and trend analyses, for each category of non-performing
loans, on the volumes and on related coverage ratios, through comparison
with the data of the previous year and with sector data;
analysis of events occurring after the reference date of the financial
statements.
Finally, we have verified the adequacy and compliance of the disclosures
provided in the Notes to the accounts with respect to the requirements of the
applicable accounting standards and reference legislation, as well as the
contents of the interpretative and supporting documents for the application of
the accounting standards in relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by the
European regulatory and supervisory bodies.
Impairment test of goodwill allocated to the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) Corporate & Investment
Banking (CIB)
Description of the key
audit matter
According to IAS 36, all intangible assets with an indefinite useful life,
including goodwill, must be tested for impairment at least annually and in
any event there is objective evidence that they might be impaired.
As more broadly described in the Notes to the accounts Part A –
Accounting Policies – Section 2 – General preparation criteria, considering
the current market environment affected, compared with the past, by an
higher volatility and greater risk of limited predictivity of the macro-
economic projections deriving from a substantial degree of uncertainty
about the evolution of the pandemic and the consequent uncertainty of
extent and timing of the economic recovery, the Bank's Directors have
defined different macro-economic scenarios for the evaluation processes
underlying the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the
Group as at December 31, 2020.
This takes into account also the information contained in the ESMA
Communication dated October 28, 2020 (“European common
enforcement priorities for 2020 Annual Financial Reports”).
More particularly, for the purposes of the impairment test on goodwill,
two different scenarios were considered:
a base scenario (“Baseline”) reflecting: i) the expected macroeconomic
evolution of the Group considered in the 2021 budget approved by the
Board of Directors during the meeting held on January 13, 2021; and
ii) the projections for the 2022 and 2023 presented to the Board of
Directors at the same meeting;
8
a downturn scenario (“Downturn”), which, in light of the context of
uncertainty, has been developed considering deteriorating
macroeconomic conditions with respect to those of the base scenario,
foreseeing a downward revision of expected profitability in both the
2021 budget and the 2022-2023 projections.
As more broadly described in the Notes to the accounts Part B – Balance
sheet – Section 10 – Intangible assets, the goodwill impairment test was
carried out using a Discounted Cash Flows model, which considered the
two mentioned scenarios differently weighted in relation to the different
probability of occurrence (60% for the “Baseline” and 40% for the
“Downturn”). The implementation of this model resulted in an impairment
of goodwill allocated to the CGU CIB for an amount of 629 million Euro,
out of a total value of 878 million Euro.
Taking into account the already mentioned high level of uncertainty in the
macroeconomic context and the sensitivity of the impairment test
outcome to change in the discount rate, the Bank’s Directors considered
appropriate to fully impair the goodwill allocated to the CGU CIB for the
above-mentioned amount of 878 million Euro.
Considering the significant impact of the impairment of goodwill allocated
to the CGU CIB on the Group net result and the complexity and
subjectivity of the valuation processes adopted by the management for
the impairment test, characterized by numerous variables, we have
identified the impairment test of goodwill allocated to the CGU CIB as a
key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as
at December 31, 2020.
Audit procedures
performed
The audit procedures performed included, among the others, the
following:
analysis and understanding of the internal control system as well as the
related internal regulations regarding the impairment test process
approved by the Bank’s Directors;
verification of the implementation of the procedures and processes as
well as of the relevant controls regarding the impairment test process;
analysis and understanding of the identification criteria of the CGUs and
verification of the carrying amounts through the recalculation of their
allocated capital;
analysis and understanding of the process for preparing the 2021
budget approved by the Bank’s Directors and the 2022-2023 projections
in the different scenarios adopted for the impairment test, in light of the
uncertainty of the current macroeconomic context resulting from the
pandemic emergency;
9
analysis and understanding of the impairment test model adopted and
verification of the reasonableness of the main assumptions underlying
the estimation of the cash flow forecasts and of the parameters used by
the Directors, also through the development of independent estimates,
with the support of valuation specialists belonging to the Deloitte
network;
examination of the sensitivity analysis of the results with reference to
the estimation of the main parameters used in the impairment test.
Finally, we have verified the adequacy and compliance of the disclosures
provided in the Notes to the accounts with respect to the requirements of
the applicable accounting standards and reference legislation, as well as the
contents of the interpretative and supporting documents for the application
of the accounting standards in relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by
the European regulatory and supervisory bodies.
Responsibilities of the Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true
and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European
Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree
no. 38/05 and to art. 43 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 136/15, and, within the terms established by
law, for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the
conditions for the liquidation of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. or the termination of the business
or have no realistic alternatives to such choices.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the
Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
10
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control;
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control;
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors;
conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease
to continue as a going concern;
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by
ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report.

STRATEGIES,
The initiatives are a part of the Group's strategies, one of the objectives of which is to finance, at competitive rates (and in large amounts), the development
PROCESSES AND
of medium and long-term through the disposal of existing "Performing" and "Non-Performing" loan portfolios and also creating eligible securities for
GOALS:
refinancing operations with the ECB and/or with third parties (counterbalancing capacity).
The main advantages of the transactions can be summarised as follows:
- improvement in the matching of asset maturities;
- diversification of sources of financing;
- broadening of investor base and resulting optimisation of funding cost;
- creating counterbalancing capacity.
Moreover, securitisation transactions can also be implemented for purposes related to business projects (for better management of assets), corporate
restructuring or deleveraging projects.

activities as well as the management of any recovery procedures for impaired loans. Thus, as Servicer, UniCredit S.p.A. is charged with continually tracking
SYSTEMS:
cash flows from securitised loans and constantly monitoring their collection, with the assistance of third party companies (especially for the recovery of
impaired loans; the company involved is doValue S.p.A., which operates as an assistant to the Servicer, governed by a special agreement).
The Servicer provides the Special Purpose Vehicle (and other counterparties indicated in the servicing agreements) information on the activity performed by,
periodically reports that indicate, among other things, the collection and transfer of the income stream sold, the amount of default positions and recoveries
completed, overdue installments, etc., with all information broken down in relation to specific transactions. These reports (which are usually quarterly) are
periodically checked (if contractually required) by an auditing firm.
ORGANISATIONAL

STRUCTURE AND
a) in the launch phase of the operation the role of proposer and provides support to the other Bank’s Divisions and to the individual Legal Entities in
SYSTEM FOR
conducting transactions, cooperating with all the other departments (Planning & Capital Management, Group Risk Management, M&A etc.) in identifying the
REPORTING TO
characteristics and the distinctive features of "true sale" securitisations loans in order to achieve the targets set in the Group’s Funding Plan and in the
SENIOR
Contingency Funding Plan, approved by the Board of Directors, in the ordinary plan of creating counterbalancing capacity, as well as in organisational
MANAGEMENT:
strategy and business of Top Management. Specific transactions are subject to prior approval by the competent departments of the Holding and of the
Originator Bank (during approval, among other things, the structure, costs and impacts in terms of liquidity, counterbalancing capacity, organisational,
business and/or any capital relief are discussed and analysed), and to final approval by the Board of Directors of the Originator Bank;
b) in the management phase of the operation, the monitoring role of the securitised portfolios performances and any rating action published by Ratings
Agencies, the interactions with the Ratings Agencies in order to submit regular information on portfolios and, more generally, the role of coordination of the
Originator Bank to facilitate the solution of events relating to the securitised portfolios (management of actions of payments holidays, downgrading,
restructurings, etc.).
The Bank has established a special coordination unit (General Ledger & Securitisation Reporting) within the Group Accounting & Regulatory Reporting
Department. This unit has been tasked with administrative activities connected to the Servicer and Account Bank related-duties, and to carry out these
duties, it works in close cooperation with specific, qualified areas of the Bank (Group Risk Management, Group Finance, Group Legal Advice & Contracts,
etc.) and the Group (UniCredit Services S.C.p.A., etc.). It also provides a technical and operational support to network units. The information regarding the
monitoring of collections and the performance of the securitised portfolio is periodically submitted to the Servicer's Board of Directors.
HEDGING POLICIES:
By agreement, securitised portfolios can be protected from interest rate risk by means of the Special Purpose Vehicle entering into Interest Rate Swap (IRS)
agreements to hedge a fixed-rate portfolio, and Basis Swaps to hedge an indexed rate portfolio. In connection with these swaps, always if required by
agreements, related back-to-back swap contracts are entered into between the Swap counterparty and UniCredit S.p.A. as Originator, interfaced in some
cases by UniCredit Bank AG.
OPERATING
RESULTS:
At the end of December 2020, the operating results related to existing securitisation transactions essentially reflected the performance of underlying
portfolios and the resulting cash flows, and obviously are affected by the amount of defaults and prepayments during the period, which, moreover, are in line
with the performance seen in other assets of this kind that are not securitised. The exercise of the option to repurchase the securitised portfolio underlying
operation "Large Corporate One" did not result in significant additional economic impacts.

STRATEGIES, PROCESSES AND
GOALS:
INTERNAL MEASUREMENT AND
RISK MONITORING SYSTEMS:
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:
HEDGING POLICIES:
OPERATING RESULTS:
The following initiatives, called Pillarstone Italy, were undertaken to allow the Group to improve the management of
loan restructuring, also through the innovative use (for this purpose) of securitisation. The goal is to facilitate and
increase recoveries of the exposures under securitisation thanks to:
- restructuring with long-term industrial logic, focusing on introducing new finance (by third parties) in favour of the
debtors sold, with focus on concrete needs and opportunities for the companies involved;
- efficient and targeted restructuring and turnaround processes.
Shared acceptance of the economic principles that guide the transactions in question and a strong alignment of the
interests between the parties involved, ensures the asset manager 's commitment to maximize the value of the said
assets, optimising therefore the expected recovery on the junior notes bought by UniCredit S.p.A., through the
transferred management of the securitised portfolio.
UniCredit S.p.A. does not act as Servicer. The business of servicing is carried out by third parties outside the Group,
as per the contracts stipulated with the Special Purpose Vehicle issuing the ABS securities, and involves the
administration, encashment, restructuring and collection of securitised loans, on behalf thereof, as well as managing
any recovery proceedings on Non-Performing loans. The Servicer of the assets, therefore, has the task, on an
ongoing basis, of following the financial flows arising from the securitised loans, constantly monitoring the
encashment, also where appropriate making use of third party companies.
For each specific transaction, the Servicer provides the Special Purpose Vehicle (in addition to other counterparties as
defined in the servicing contracts, including UniCredit S.p.A.) with information on the activities carried out via periodic
reports which show, inter alia, the collection and realization of the assigned receivables, the number of defaulted
positions and the successfully completed recoveries, the instalments in arrears, restructuring activities, etc. Where
contractually provided for, these reports are periodically checked by an independent auditors' firm.
The Servicer provides UniCredit S.p.A. with a series of reports that enable the evaluation and monitoring of the
underlying portfolios. On a quarterly basis the performances are also presented in the reference internal Credit
Committees.
There are no risk hedging derivatives.
We implemented a set of monitoring initiatives, focused on one side on the single company performances and, on the
other side, on the evolution of the Pillartsone project as a whole.

OPERATING RESULTS:
The securitizations aim at facilitating the access to long term financing
opportunities for the Italian small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”),
through minbonds subscription by SMEs and purchase of it by SPV, in
addition to the traditional bank credit lines, thus supporting the real
economy and achieving a significant transfer risk on institutional
qualified investors.
Each portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis by external third
counterparty and is described in monthly and quarterly reports (required
by the agreements) with a breakdown of loans by status and the trend of
repayments. Moreover compliant to the retention rule UniCredit S.p.A.
maintained at least a 5% of minibonds issued by SMES, so is able to
monitor directly performance of the portfolio.
The BoD approved a plafond for similar transactions and each new
securitization is submitted to the top management and internal of
UniCredit S.p.A. deputated committes approval. The bank's
annual/interim report contains details information on the specific ABS
transactions achieved.
There is no swap on interest rates in force since the interest rates of the
assets are matched with interest rates of the liabilities.
The results achieved up to the present are broadly in line with
expectations and approved at inception.

OPERATING RESULTS:
UniCredit S.p.A., through the transfer of its credit exposures to an
SPV pursuant to 130 Law on securitization, has set itself the
objective of reducing the stock of Non Performing Exposures of the
Non Core perimeter, in line with the Group's strategy of a complete
rundown of this perimeter.
The performance of securitisations is subject to continuous
monitoring by the bank, with specific focus on the recovery
performance and the evolution of the Gross Book Value (GBV) of the
underlying portfolio and on the progressive repayment of the principal
and payment of interest of the ABS securities issued by the SPV,
based on the information provided by the servicer (also through
specific periodic reports foreseen in the transaction documentation).
The execution of the securitization transactions of non-performing
exposures is approved by the Board, based on the prior positive
opinion of the proper committees within the bank. Credit reviews of
the transactions are scheduled on an annual basis and discussed in
specific committees with the participation of top management, during
which updates are given on the progress of transactions as a whole.
None
Every six months, or more frequently if necessary, information
relating to the performance of securitisations (with specific focus on
the evolution of the Gross Book Value of the transferred portfolio, the
recovery performances and the redemption of ABS securities) is
made available to the various functions of the bank for the
performance of their respective roles on monitoring and
representation in the financial statements.

The main purpose of structuring synthetic securitizations is the
relief of Regulatory Capital.
Each securitised portfolio is monitored by the Servicing
Department on an ongoing basis and disclosed in the form of
quarterly reports (Investor Report), providing a breakdown of
the status of underlying loans.
A first-level Committee approves each new transaction and
any other related decisions and is informed about expected
and actual performances of already existing transactions. The
bank's annual report features information about all originated
synthetic securitizations.

The performances of synthetic securitizations are monitored
on a semi-annual basis with dedicated reports addressed to
the competent first-level Committee.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM FOR REPORTING TO SENIOR
MANAGEMENT:
HEDGING POLICIES:
OPERATING RESULTS:
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., through the transfer of its credit
exposures to an SPV pursuant to 130 Law on securitization, has
set itself the objective of reducing the stock of Non Performing
Exposures of the Non Core perimeter, in line with the Group's
strategy of a complete rundown of this perimeter.
The performance of securitisations is subject to continuous
monitoring by the company, with specific focus on the recovery
performance and the evolution of the Gross Book Value (GBV) of
the underlying portfolio and on the progressive repayment of the
principal and payment of interest of the ABS securities issued by
the SPV, based on the information provided by the servicer (also
through specific periodic reports foreseen in the transaction
documentation).
The execution of the securitization transactions of non-performing
exposures is approved by the Board, based on the prior positive
opinion of the proper committees within the company. Credit
reviews of the transactions are scheduled on an annual basis and
discussed in specific committees with the participation of top
management, during which updates are given on the progress of
transactions as a whole.
None
Every six months, or more frequently if necessary, information
relating to the performance of securitisations (with specific focus on
the evolution of the Gross Book Value of the transferred portfolio,
the recovery performances and the redemption of ABS securities)
is made available to the various company functions for the
performance of their respective roles on monitoring and
representation in the financial statements.

The main motivation for the Bank's securitisation programs is the
Capital relief and Funding for True Sale Transactions.
Each portfolio is monitored by the servicing department on an
ongoing basis and it is illustrated in the form of quarterly report
(investor report), which provides a breakdown of the status of
loans.
The BoD approves each new transaction and any other related
decision and they are informed on the expected performances and
on those in the final balance. The bank's annual report contains
information on the bank's own ABS transactions.
For true sale transactions the issuer hedged portfolio's interest rate
risks through Interest Rate Swaps.
The results achieved up to the present are broadly in line with
expectations; payments received from the portfolio ensured
punctual and full payment to security holders and other parties to
the transaction.

UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., through the sale of debtors to the fund, aims to reduce the
stock of non-performing exposures of the Non Core perimeter, consistently with the
Group's strategy of full rundown of this perimeter.
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., once the loans have been sold to the fund and UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. become a holder of Fund's units, has no longer a role in managing the
debtor, remaining a financial investor with no possibility of governance and
management interference.
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. has all the risks arising from the units of the fund managed by
Prelios SGR and therefore from the performances of the Asset Manager and the
advisor AMCO and Prelios S.p.A.
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. monitors the manager's performance through quarterly
management reports and participation in supervisory committees (Advisory Board)
without voting mechanisms and therefore without the possibility of management or
administrative interference in the fund.

Operating income
At 31 December 2020 Operating income totaled €10,961 million, up +€1,230 million (+12.6%) on the previous year. The increase was mainly
attributable to the increase of Dividends and other income from equity investments (+€1,825 million), partially offset by the reduction in Net Interest (-
€357 million) and Net fees and commissions (-€243 million).
Net interest at December 2020 amounted to €3,461 million, down compared to the previous year (-9.3%). In a contest of a persistent negative
interest rates scenario and economic contraction due to the persistence of Covid-19 pandemic disease, the increase of medium long term loans
volumes, mainly driven by the increasing recourse to government-guaranteed credit, was not enough to balance short term loans rates and volumes
compression, in particular related to non-financial corporations. Net Interest result was also impacted by time value and impaired assets interests
decrease as a consequence of Non-Core portfolio rundown activities.
In 2020, deposits from both households and non-financial corporations showed an acceleration in the rate of expansion: the growth in deposits
followed the strong increase in savings, especially household savings, as a consequence of the pandemic and the lockdown, which led to a
decrease in sales of goods and services.
During the year, the Bank completed the medium/long term Financial Plan execution, using different structures and maturities so (i) to minimize
concentration risk and (ii) to benefit from its creditworthiness towards Institutional Investors.
To strengthen the amount of eligible instruments according to TLAC regulation, in January the Bank placed with success a Dual Tranche Senior
Non-Preferred issue, the first for an amount of €1,250 million, 6-year maturity and callable after 5 years, the second one for an amount of €750
million, 10-year maturity. In addition, in June UniCredit S.p.A. issued a benchmark Senior Preferred bond, amounted to €1,250 million, 6-year
maturity and callable after 5 years; in July a Senior Preferred bond, 7-year maturity and callable after 6 years for an amount of €1,000 million ,as
“private placement” and, in addition, a benchmark Senior Non-Preferred, 7-year maturity and callable after 6 years for an amount of €1,250 million;
at the end, in September, a benchmark Senior Non-preferred, maturity 6-year and callable after 5 years, amounted to $1,000 million.
About subordinated bonds, in January 2020 the Bank launched a new issue of Tier 2 subordinated bond with 12-year maturity and callable after 7
years, for an amount of €1,250 million. In February, in addition, UniCredit S.p.A. launched an Additional Tier 1 Perpetual Non-Call (so-called Non-
Cumulative Temporary Write-Down Deeply Subordinated Fixed Rate Resettable Notes), callable up to June 2027 for a total amount of €1,250
million. In addition, in June the Bank. placed a subordinated Tier 2 bond for an amount of $1,500 million, 15-year maturity and callable after 10
years.
All 2020 issues of bonds allowed to fully respect the different regulatory requirements, maintaining at the same time a high level of liquidity.

Results of the year
Dividends recorded in 2020 totaled €3,669 million, up to €1,825 million year on year. The increase was mainly due to ordinary and extraordinary
dividends distributed by UniCredit Bank AG, amounted to +€3,288 million (€2,768 million compared to 2019).
Net fees and commissions income and expense at 31 December 2020 amounted to €3,559 million, down -€243 million (-6.4%) year-on-year,
strongly influenced by the containment measures related to the Covid-19 pandemic. This decrease was due to Asset management, custody and
administration services (-€199 million), driven by insurance products, mutual funds fees and trading and placements securities, and to Collection and
payment services (-€53 million).
Net trading income at December 2020 (+€440 million) was essentially attributable to the gains from investment portfolio (+€128 million), hedging
activity in derivatives with customers (+€106 million), the effects of the revaluation of the issuance of Additional Tier1 of UniCredit Bank Ag (+€97
million) and Certificates and their derivatives (+€72 million). In 2020, the effects of the revaluation of the hedging derivative related to the issuance in
USD of Additional Tier1 instruments amounted to -€10 million.
In addition, income related to the revaluation of Visa Inc. amounted to +€7 million and losses referred to the valuation of Webuild S.p.A. (Ex Salini
Impregilo) were equal to -€20 million.
In 2020 losses related to XVA - Credit, Funding and Debt Value Adjustment, amounting to -€42 million, were recorded, partially offset by gains from
relative hedging activity (+€26 million).
Overall, Net trading income increased by +€82 million compared to the previous year.
The mainly changes in comparison with 2019 are attributable to the following:
• +€97 million related to Additional Tier 1 of UniCredit Bank AG;
• +€28 million related to the revaluation of equity portfolio;
• +€18 million due to higher gains from investment portfolio;
• -€33 million due to Certificates and their derivatives.
The balance of other operating income and charges at December 2020 amounted to -€168 million, decreasing by -€77 million year-on-year. The
main impacts in 2020 are due to charges and income related to company activities (mainly compensation, rebates, services provided, recoveries,
rents) totaling -€90 million.
Operating costs
The total of Operating costs at December 2020 amounted to -€4,544 million, decreasing of -€181 million (-3.8%) compared to the previous year; the
year was also affected by approximately -€85 million of extraordinary costs related to Covid-19. Staff expenses, amounted to -€2,692 million,
decreased compared to 2019 of about -€64 million (-2.3%), mainly due to the effect of staff structure reduction.
Full Time Equivalent (FTE) evolution stands at 32,545 at 31 December 2020 and showed a decrease of about 1,781 FTE year-on-year thanks to
multiyear personnel exit plan linked with Team23.
Other administrative expenses in 2020 recorded -€1,959million, down -€171 million (-8.0%) compared to 2019. The decrease was concentrated on
credit recovery costs (-111 million), back office activities (-57 million) and to real estate expenses (-17 million).
Recovery of expenses, amounting to €442 million, decreased (-€38 million and -7.9% compared to the previous year), primarily for less recovery on
credit recovery expenses and on stamp duties, partially balanced by real estate recoveries increase.
Amortization, depreciation and impairment losses on intangible and tangible assets amounted to -€335 million, increasing (+5.0%) compared to the
previous year connected with the revaluation of real estate assets following the application, starting from 2019, of the revaluation model for the
properties used in business (of the IAS16).
Net impairment losses on loans
At the end of December 2020 net write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees and commitments sum up to -€2,737 million, increased by
-€78 million (+2,9%) in respect of previous year.
It should be noted that considering the elements of high uncertainty affecting the current environment, with the possibility that the slowdown in the
economy will determine a deterioration of the credit portfolio quality, with a consequent increase of non performing loans incidence during 2020, it
was recognised:
• -€274 millions of write-down due to the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk, which determines the classification of the credit
exposures in Stage 2 and the resulting calculation of loan loss provision determined considering the overall residual life of the credit exposures,
such assessment has been performed considering indicators of counterparty financial strength and the economic sector, this in order to represent
the asymmetric effects that lockdown measures have on the different economic sectors and to grant a proper valuation of credit risk also in the

context of Moratoria measures that, by providing payment holidays, can defer the occurrence of events indicating a significant deterioration of the
counterparty credit quality; for additional details refer to Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter;
• -€504 millions of write-down referred to the update of the macroeconomic scenarios (of which -€486 million recognised in the first quarter 2020)
used for loan loss provision calculation in compliance with IFRS9 that requires to consider the future evolution of the economic cycle also recurring
to multiple scenarios. In this context a base scenario, which is the central reference scenario considered most likely, a positive scenario and a
negative scenario have been elaborated. These positive and negative scenarios differ from the base scenario in term of evolution of the
economies in which the Group operates as a result of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemics, vaccine distribution and economic policies followed
by the governments. For additional details refer to Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A
- Accounting policies, A.1 General, Section 1 - Statement of compliance with IFRS;
• -€366 millions of write-down related to the effects of the inclusion of the evaluation effects connected with the new definition of default which,
although entering into force from 1 January 2021, determines the knowledge of new elements and more stringent criteria for the classification of
the counterparty risk, therefore the related valuation effects were already recognised in the write-down; for more details refer to the Consolidated
financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of
the prudential consolidation perimeter;
• -€473 millions of write-down linked to the update of the selling scenarios referred to the exposures for which the Group strategy foresees the
recovery through their disposal on the market. In this case the recoverable amount of exposures classified as Bad loans and Unlikely to Pay is
determined considering the expected sale prices weighted for the probabilities of disposal evidenced by the already mentioned Group strategy. In
this context, on 31 December 2020, the Group has updated its 2021 -2023 disposal plan by (i) confirming its intention, already manifested in 2019
financial year, to fully run-down the so called “Non Core” portfolio by the end of 2021 financial year and (ii) foreseeing the disposal of non-
performing loans belonging to the “Core” perimeter for which recovery was expected through the work-out. This circumstance has determined the
recognition of additional write-downs mainly related to the Core portfolio. For additional details refer to paragraph “Aspects relating to the valuation
of credit exposures as at 31 December 2020” in the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part

Integration costs
Integration costs amounted to -€1,345 million, are mainly attributable to the charges for the incentives referred to multiyear personnel exit plan
“Team 23”.
Net income (losses) from investments
Net income from investments was -€4,793 million, down -€3,056 million compared to 2019.
In 2020 write-downs on equity regarding, in particular, UniCredit Bank AG (-€3,972 million) UniCredit Bank Austria (-€404 million) and UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. (-€483 million) were recorded, partially offset by profit related to 11,93% stake Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi sale (+€110 million) and write-
backs on equity regarding Cordusio SIM S.p.A. (+€42million).
Taxes on income
Taxes on income for 2020 reports a positive amount of €309 million, with respect to the negative amount of €299 million in 2019, this amount is
mainly composed by:
• a negative IRES (current and deferred taxes) value of -€2 million. The current IRES generate a tax loss for a total of €1,401 million in terms of
taxes, of which €1,235 million produced by tax cases from Income statement items. This tax loss has been produced for €673 million of taxes by
the reversal of convertible deferred tax assets and generates a tax credit from transformation as per Art.2 par.56-bis of Law Decree 29 December
2010, No.225 and subsequent amendments, while the residual tax loss at Income statement of €562 million of taxes can be registered only for an
amount of €4 million following the execution of the sustainability test, the remaining amount of €558 million has been completely subject to
impairment as it was considered not sustainable. The movement of deferred tax assets and liabilities of the period amounts totally at -€672 million
to which it has to be added an impairment of -€7 million on the pre-existing deferred tax assets following the sustainability test;
• a positive IRAP (current and deferred taxes) of €51 million, with current IRAP equal to zero as the taxable base is negative, +€33 million for the
registration of the credit deriving from the negative taxable amount generated by the reversal of transformable deferred tax assets as per Art.2
par.56-bis.1 of Law Decree 29 December 2010, No.225 and subsequent amendments and +€18 million by the movement of deferred tax;
• net extraordinary income of €58 million, resulting from the effect of the reconsideration in the tax return of tax cases relating to the 2019 financial
year for which it was only possible to estimate the taxes in the presence of non-definitive information and from the recognition of previous tax
losses subject to impairment as not sustainable and then recognised through tax consolidation;
• tax credit deriving from the conversion of the “Aiuto alla Crescita Economica” (ACE) benefit into IRAP tax credit for €25 million for ACE 2019 that it
could not have been recognised as non-sustainable if not transformed for IRAP purposes, with the addition of €79 million deriving from the positive
ACE tax ruling obtained by Agenzia delle Entrate;
• a benefit of €110 million resulting from the transformation into tax credits of the tax losses as per Law Decree 17 March 2020 No.18, and the
subsequent amendment contained in Law 13 October 2020 No.126.

Performing loans (€174,108 million at 31 December 2020) included €1,802 million due from Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), attributable mainly
to liquidity which UniCredit S.p.A., following the downgrading from 2012 by the rating agencies involved in the transactions, had to transfer (based
on the contractual documentation signed) to other banks, still considered “eligible”, in favor of the SPVs granting loans as part of the transactions
originated by UniCredit S.p.A. in relation to securitisations and covered bond issue programmes.
During 2020 the aforementioned receivables from Special Purpose Vehicle (S.P.V.) increased by €660 million compared to 31 December 2019.
The increase is due to the normal management of securitisation transactions.
Reverse repos amounted to €30,469 million at 31 December 2020 (€54,363 million at the end of 2019), and consisted almost entirely of
transactions with Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia, with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and Poste Italiane S.p.A.
Impaired loans at the end of December 2020 amounted to €3,667 million and came to 1.8% of the total amount of loans to customers. They mainly
referred to the business segment.
The decrease of -€1,040 million (-22.1% in comparison to €4,707 million at the end of December 2019) is mainly due to the intense activity of the
Bank aimed at reducing impaired credit exposures, also through the objective of total Rundown of the Non Core portfolio (by 2021) which in 2020
recorded a reduction in the book value for about -€770 million.
For further information regarding the evolution of the impaired loans refer to Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies,
Section 1 - Credit Risk, table “A.1.2 Breakdown of financial assets by portfolio and credit quality (gross and net values)”.
Credit quality
As at 31 December 2020, the gross book value (GBV) of the Non-Performing Exposures (NPE) amounts to €11,532 million, representing 5.3% of
total GBV loans to customers (down from 6.4% at year-end 2019). The non-performing exposures do not incorporate the new definition of default
classification applicable from 1 January 2021. However, if the new classification criteria had been implemented as at 31 December 2020, the NPE
ratio would have been 5.8%, higher than the one really detected (5.3%).
The ratio of non-performing loans (GBV) amounted to 2.0% of total loans to customers (2.6% at 31 December 2019) loans classified as unlikely to
pay amounted to 3.1% of total loans (3.6% at 31 December 2019), while impaired past due exposures amounted to 0.18% of total loans (0.19% at
31 December 2019).
The coverage ratio of impaired loans (specific write-downs to face value) came to around 68.2%, down on the 69.4% figure recorded at 31
December 2019 and consisting of 85.7% of non-performing loans, 58.8% of loans classified as unlikely to pay and 37.3% of impaired past due
exposures.

Results of the year
Performing loans, which amounted to €206,716 million at GBV (€226,112 million at 31 December 2019), were written down, at 31 December 2020,
by a total of €2,139 million, with a coverage ratio of 1.0% (0.5% at 31 December 2019).
For further information concerning the coverage evolution on performing loans, refer to Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and
hedging policies, Section 1 - Credit Risk, table “A.1.2 Breakdown of financial assets by portfolio and credit quality (gross and net values)”.
Overall, therefore, total Loans to customers at 31 December 2020 stood at €218,248 million, with value adjustments of €10,004 million taking the
general level of coverage for Loans to Customers to 4.6% (4.9% at 31 December 2019).
The overall reduction in the coverage ratio is substantially due to the contraction of the impact of impaired loans on the aggregate of Loans to
customers.
For the management and recovery of problematic loans (non-performing and unlikely to pay), the Bank uses also the services offered by doValue
S.p.A., a bank specialised in loan recovery.

• debt securities and loans at amortised cost mainly include (i) government securities and have been increased due to purchases in the year and ii)
receivables for subleases deriving from the application of the IFRS16 standard;
• the value of equity investments decreased mainly driven by the combined effects arising from:
- the write-downs of the investment, of which: UniCredit Bank AG (-€3,972 million), UniCredit Bank Austria Credistanstalt AG (-€404 million),
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. (-€483 million), UniCredit Bank Ireland Plc (-€36 million), UniCredit Turn Around Management Cee Gmbh (-€18 million),

termination of the Koç Financial Services Joint Venture.
Interbank position
The Bank recorded, under its financial activities, a net interbank position at the end of 2020 of assets (€35,285 million) and liabilities (€89,279
million) equal to -€53,994 million. Compared with the corresponding figures at the end of 2019 (net equal to -€18,934 million), the balance showed
an increase in the net liabilities of -€35,060 million due to the combined effect of the reduction in Loans and receivables with banks (-€3,352 million)
and of the increase of Deposits from banks (+€31,708 million).
In this regard, the above Deposits increase was mainly generated by the increase in the participation to TLTRO, from €33,599 million at the end of
2019 to €51,291 million at the end of 2020, following the repayment of TLTROII amount in June 2020 and the simultaneous participation in TLTRO
III operations and by the increase in the funding through repo by €13,766 million.

Notes:
(*) Transitional own funds and capital ratios including all transitional adjustments according to the yearly applicable percentages.
UniCredit S.p.A. has decided to not apply the IFRS9 transitional approach as reported in article 473a of the Regulation 575/2013/EU (CRR). Therefore the values shown fully reflect the impact arising from the application of
the IFRS9 principle.
The negative change with respect to 31 December 2019 equal to €2.1 billion on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital mainly reflects: (i) the loss of 2020
(€3,000 million) including the cash component of the dividends already deducted and (ii) the inclusion of the dividends of 2019 (€1,404 million) no
more distributed in line with the recommendation published by European Central Bank, (iii) the negative change due to the payment of Additional
Tier 1 capital instruments coupons (€326 million), (iv) the higher deduction for the deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and not arise
from temporary differences (€196 million).
With reference to the Total Own Funds, the negative change with respect to 31 December 2019 equal to €3 billion reflects in addition also the effect
deriving from: (i) the new issuance of one subordinated instrument classified in Additional Tier 1 Capital for €1,240 million (ii) new issuance of two
subordinated instruments classified as Tier 2 for €2,458 million, (iii) negative effect on Tier 2 Capital deriving from the authorization received by the
competent authority to early redeem the instruments IT0005087116 and XS0986063864 for €3,464 million, (iv) the combined negative effect (€725
million) of regulatory amortisation and exchange rate variance on instruments in USD, and (v) other negative impacts for €0.4 billion million mainly
related to the change of the consolidation method of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.Ş. from proportional to equity.
UniCredit S.p.A. has registered as at 31 December 2020 a loss equal to 2,732 million, fully recognised in the Own Funds.
On 15 December 2020, updating the communication of 28 July 2020, the ECB published the Recommendation 2020/62 “on dividend distributions
during the Covid-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35”. The recommendation asks banks to “refrain from or limit dividends
until September 2021”; banks are asked to limit dividends to the lower between (i) 15% of cumulated 2019-20 adjusted profits and (ii) 20 basis points
of CET1 ratio. At UniCredit, the lower value is represented by the 15% (“ECB cap”) of the cumulated stated net profits for the years 2019 and 2020,
adjusted, as per ECB recommendation.
In particular, in accordance with the ECB recommendation, the cumulated 2019-20 adjusted profit at consolidated level, on which the 15% payout
ratio is applied, is calculated by adjusting the profit/loss result for the following items: (i) goodwill and intangible assets impairment, (ii) impairment of
deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and do not arise from temporary differences net of associated tax liabilities, (iii) reclassifications
from other comprehensive income into profit and (iv) distribution related to AT1 instruments charged against equity.
The amount resulting from such calculation is equal to a total amount of €447 million, whose distribution is envisaged for (i) 60% via cash dividends
(equal to €268 million) and for (ii) 40% via shares buy-back (equal to €179 million). The cash component is deducted from Own Funds as of fourth
quarter 2020, while the shares buy-back component will be deducted once the ECB authorization will be released.

Statement of changes in shareholders’e equity
It should be noted that, following the Recommendation 2020/35 published by ECB on 27 March 2020 not to pay dividends until October 2020,
UniCredit S.p.A. did not proceed with the dividend distribution during 2020, following the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting of 9 April 2020. On
15 December 2020, the European Central Bank issued the Recommendation 2020/62 “on dividend distributions during the Covid-19 pandemic and
repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35”; the recommendation asks banks to “refrain from or limit dividends until September 2021”. For the
implications related to its application at UniCredit S.p.A. level refer to the paragraph "Capital and value management - Capital ratios" of the Report
on operations.

A.1 - General
Section 1 - Statement of compliance with IFRS
These Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), including the interpretation documents issued by the SIC and the IFRIC, and endorsed by the European Commission up to 31 December
2020, pursuant to EU Regulation No.1606/2002 which was incorporated into Italian legislation through Legislative Decree No.38 of 28 February
2005 (see Section 4 - Other matters).
These financial statements are an integral part of the Annual financial statements as required by Art.154-ter, par.1 of the Single Finance Act
(Consolidated Law on Finance - “TUF”, Legislative Decree No.58 of 24 February 1998).
In Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005 of Banca d’Italia (and subsequent amendments), with regard to the banks and financial institution subject to
supervision, Banca d’Italia has established the formats for the financial statements and Notes to the accounts used to prepare these Company
financial statements.
Banca d’Italia issued on 30 November 2018 with its Circular No.262 adjusting the formats for the financial statements and Notes to the accounts to
requirements of IFRS16: Leasing. Such update has been integrated by the 15 December 2020 Banca d’Italia Communication “Integration to Circular
No.262 requirements - Banks financial statements: schemes and compilation rules” which has mainly foreseen the need to provide further
information regarding impacts coming from Covid-19 and related relief and support measures.
Section 2 - General Preparation Criteria
As mentioned above, these “Company financial statements as at 31 December 2020” have been prepared in accordance with the international
accounting standards endorsed by the European Commission.
The following documents have been used to interpret and support the application of IFRS, even though they have not all been endorsed by the
European Commission:
• The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting;
• Implementation Guidance, Basis for Conclusions, IFRICs and any other documents prepared by the IASB (including the IFRS Foundation
communication of 27 March 2020 concerning "IFRS9 and Covid-19") or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
supplementing the IFRS;
• Interpretative documents on the application of the IAS/IFRS in Italy prepared by the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) and Associazione
Bancaria Italiana (ABI);
• ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), European Banking Authority, European Central Bank and Consob documents on the
application of specific IFRS provisions also with specific reference to the presentation of the effects arising from Covid-19 pandemics and their
effects on the evaluation processes. In particular, refer to the statement of ESMA dated 25 March 2020, 20 May 2020 and 28 October 2020, to the
statement of European Central Bank dated 1 April 2020 and 4 December 2020 and to the statement of European Banking Authority dated 25
March 2020, 2 April 2020, 2 June 2020 and 2 December 2020 and to Consob Call for attention. The content of these statements, when relevant,
has been reported in “Section 4 - Other matters” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part A -
Accounting policies, A.1 General, in the context of the description of the evaluation choices made by the Bank as at 31 December 2020.
The Company financial statements include the Balance sheet, the Income statement, the Statement of other comprehensive income, the Statement
of changes in shareholders’ equity, the Cash flow statement (compiled using the “indirect method”) and the Notes to the accounts, together with the
Report on operations and Annexes.
Unless otherwise specified, figures in the Company accounts are given in units of euros and the Notes to the accounts in millions of euros.
Risks and uncertainty relating to the use of estimates
Under the IFRS, management must make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and the
amounts of assets and liabilities and income and expenses reported in the accounts, as well as the disclosure concerning contingent assets and
liabilities.
Estimates and related assumptions are based on previous experience and on the available information framework with reference to the current
context and have been used to estimate the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily available from other sources.
Estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Any changes resulting from these reviews are recognised in the period in which the review was
carried out, provided the change only concerns that period. If the revision concerns both current and future periods, it is recognised accordingly in
both current and future periods.
In particular, estimated figures have been used for the recognition and measurement of some of the largest items in the Company financial
statements as at 31 December 2020, as required by the accounting policies, statements and regulations described above.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 543
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The current market environment is furthermore affected, compared with the past, by an increased risk of a lower predictivity of the macro-economic
projections arising from a substantial degree of uncertainty about the evolution of the pandemic and the consequent uncertainty of predicting timing
and extent of the economic recovery which may occur in future periods. The existence of a higher uncertainty represents, in fact, a key factor of the
statements issued by supranational authoritative bodies such as the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) and the European Commission (“EC”):
• in its statement “October 2020 World Economic Outlook”, the IMF has stated, among other things, that” there remains tremendous uncertainty
around the outlook”; “the uncertainty surrounding the baseline projection is unusually large”; “the growing restrictions on trade and investment and
rising geopolitical uncertainty could harm the recovery”;
• in its statement of November 202045 “Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast: Rebound interrupted as resurgence of pandemic deepens uncertainty”,
the EC has stated, among other things, that “The epidemiological situation means that growth projections over the forecast horizon are subject to
an extremely high degree of uncertainty and risks” and that “A high degree of uncertainty with downside risks to the outlook”.
Additionally, as already stated, through the communication issued on 28 October 2020, the ESMA published a Public Statement ("European
common enforcement priorities for 2020 Annual Financial Reports") addressing the enforcement priorities on measurement and disclosure, in light of
Covid-19 pandemic for 2020 Year-end Financial statements.
Among the others, for the topics under discussions in the present section, the following are worth to be mentioned, as they refer to uncertainty:
• impairment test: in order to reflect the higher level of uncertainties, the adoption of multiple scenarios might be required in calculating future cash
flows;
• estimation uncertainties: the issuers shall disclose sources of estimation uncertainties in the measurement of items of financial statements.
In the context of high level of uncertainty explained above and considering the aforementioned ESMA communication, UniCredit has defined
different macro-economic scenarios, to be used for the purposes of the evaluation processes of 2020 Financial Statements.
In particular, in addition to the "Baseline" scenario, which reflects the expectations considered most likely concerning macro-economic trends,
alternative scenarios have been outlined that assume different trends in the main macro-economic parameters (e.g. gross domestic product, interest
rates); in this regard:
• with reference to the impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets, a worst-case scenario (called "Downturn") was
defined, reflecting a downward forecast of the expected profitability of the business;
• with reference to the valuation of credit exposures (IFRS9), two alternative scenarios ("Positive" and "Negative") were outlined, which provide for
different assessments regarding the expected trend of the parameters that can influence the assessment of the prospective credit risk.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the characteristics associated with the above scenarios.
Investments in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets
As shown above and in light of the aforementioned considerations, UniCredit has defined certain macro-economic scenarios, used for the
measurement of Investment in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets:
• Baseline scenario: on the basis of this macro-economic scenario, prepared last October 2020, were determined the budget for year 2021,
approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) at meeting held on 13 January 2021, and the projections for years 2022 and 2023, presented to the BoD
at the same meeting on 13 January 2021. This macro-economic scenario foresees a gradual recovery starting from spring 2021, also supported by
a higher distribution of vaccines and a reduction of restrictions on mobility and on some economic activities introduced in Europe to manage Covid-
19 infections. Moreover, this scenario foresees that central banks maintain favorable monetary policy measures. In 2022 and 2023 a normalization
of economic activities is expected with a moderate recovery of rates, in particular of medium-long term rates (Mid Swap 10Y). For details refer to
the table below.
• “Downturn” scenario, also in light of the context of uncertainty considered by ESMA and supranational bodies (e.g. IMF) the "Downturn" scenario
has been stressed considering worse macro-economic conditions compared to the “Baseline”, in particular foreseeing a halving in the Eurozone
GDP in 2021 and a stable trend in long-term rates, thus leading to a downward revision of the results forecast in the 2021 budget and in the 2022-
23 projections. In particular, the "Downturn" scenario considers a new phase of infections for Covid-19 at the beginning of 2021 with a consequent
increase in restrictions on mobility and on economic activities compared to the “Baseline” scenario. The 2021 GDP therefore reaches in the main
countries a growth in 2021 equal to about half of the base case (e.g. Western Europe +2.4% vs. +4.8% of the base case), settling at the same
growth as the base case in 2022-23, thus not recovering the variation seen in 2021 against a long-term impact on the economy. Consistently with
a reduced economic growth, it is assumed that central banks maintain favorable monetary policy measures and that interest rates therefore remain
at lower levels compared to the "Baseline" scenario, with a significant impact also on medium- and long-term rates, resulting in a flatter rate curve
than in the base case.

Notes:
(1) Data 2020 are shown only for the Baseline scenario for information purposes, data referred to the real GDP for Western Europe and the CEE are forecasts prepared during the fourth quarter of 2020.
(2) Western Europe calculated as a weighted average considering the nominal GDP of the countries relevant for UniCredit (Italy, Germany and Austria).
It is worth to note that for comparative purposes, the macro-economic data used for the assessments performed for Company financial statement as
at 31 December 2019 foresaw: (i) for 2020, real GDP growth of 0.6% for Western Europe and 1.4% for the CEE (excluding Turkey); (ii) for 2023 real
GDP growth of 1.2% for Western Europe and 2.1% for the CEE (excluding Turkey).
With reference to investments in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets, the measurement is significantly influenced by assumptions on future cash
flows, which in turn incorporate assumptions on the evolution of the macro-economic scenario. As a result, for the measurement and with the aim to
reflect the aforementioned degree of uncertainty, pursuant to requirements of ESMA public statement of 28 October 2020, both the scenarios
outlined above have been considered. In particular future cash flows have been estimated by weighting the “Baseline” Scenario and the “Downturn”
scenario with a higher probability attributed to the Baseline Scenario (60% vs. 40%).
Moreover, additional parameters impact on measurement: (i) for equity investments the measurement is influenced by Cost of Equity, CET1 ratio
target and long term growth rate; (ii) the sustainability of deferred tax assets is influenced by the volatility of expected results and by the confidence
level used. In the context of measurement as at 31 December 2020, the evaluation has been updated through the redetermination, if needed, of the
underlying parameters.
For further information on the methodology, results and base assumptions used in the impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and deferred
tax assets, refer respectively to sections “Section 7 - Equity investments - Item 70” and “Section 10 - Tax assets and tax liabilities - Item 100
(Assets) and Item 60 (Liabilities)” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part B - Balance sheet - Assets.
The results of these evaluation might be subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment depending on the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of
the relief measures adopted and, ultimately, on the existence and degree of the economic recovery. Possible deviations of the actual economic
recovery compared with the assumptions which form the basis of the evaluations might require a re-determination of the parameters used, in
particular the future cash flows, and the consequent change in the valuation.
In this context it should be noted that an update of the strategic plan Team 23, that reflects current conditions, may be approved by the new Board of
Directors, that will be appointed by the shareholder’s meeting to be held on 15 April 2021, during 2021.
Measurement of Real estate portfolio
Always with reference to the valuation of the non-financial assets, it is worth to mention the valuation of the real estate portfolio which has become
relevant following the adoption, starting from December 2019, of the fair value model (assets held for investment) and the revaluation model (assets
used in the business). For these assets, on 31 December 2020, fair value has been determined through external appraisals. Further information has
been reported in the paragraph “Section 8 - Tangible assets - Item 80” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the
accounts Part B - Balance sheet - Assets.
In this context it is worth to note that in the upcoming financial years, fair value of these assets might be different from the fair value observed as at
31 December 2020 as a result of the possible evolution of real estate market which will also depend on the new practice, in terms of remote working,
that could prevail once the lock-down measures will be lifted.

Part A - Accounting policies
Measurement of Credit Exposures
With reference to credit exposures, it must be noted that the slow-down of the economic activity resulting from the pandemic Covid-19 and the
associated lock-down measures has also affected the estimates on their recoverability and the calculation of the associated loan loss provisions. In
this regard it must be noted that the amount of loan loss provisions is determined considering the classification, current and expected, of credit
exposures as non-performing, the sale price, for those non performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external counterparties,
and credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9, incorporates, among
other factors, forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
In this context, the Bank has updated macro-economic scenarios as at 31 December 2020 considering, as already underlined, in addition to a base
scenario (as already mentioned in the section on “Investment in subsidiaries and Deferred Tax Assets”), a negative scenario and a positive scenario
and applying proper weighting factors.
• Negative Scenario, which reflects the assumption that Europe will face a further prolonged pandemic wave at the beginning of 2021. Although,
with the mild climate, the economy may recover during spring, the distribution of vaccines, under this scenario, will proceed slower than expected
in the Baseline scenario. As a result, mass immunity will only be achieved gradually at the end of the three-year forecast period. Such factor will
cause a higher reduction in growth mainly in 2021 (e.g. Western Europe +1.2% vs 4.8% in the base case). Governments will maintain expansionist
economic policies to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic and to maintain social stability. The rate curve will have a more gradual
normalization (steepening) compared to the “Baseline” scenario. Compared to a hypothesis of a flat rate curve until 2023, in this scenario the
increase, however existing, of the long-term component influences the prospective credit risk by affecting the cost of financing for clients. For
details refer to table below.
• Positive Scenario is based on the assumption that an effective distribution of vaccines increases the confidence and that GDP grows more than
what has been foreseen in the “Baseline” scenario. In this scenario, although the 2021 trend remains in line with the base scenario, the pace of
recovery in 2022 is expected significantly more solid, driving an increase in demand that will bring GDP back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of
2022. In this context, it is assumed that governments will gradually reduce support measures. In detail, annual real GDP growth for Western
Europe would stand at +5.4% in 2021, rising to +5.9% in 2022 to stabilize at +2.5% in 2023 in a context of short-term rates (3-month Euribor)
foreseen still negative in the three-year period 2021-2023.

Notes:
(1) For Baseline Scenario data refer to the table above.
(2) Western Europe calculated as a weighted average considering the nominal GDP of the countries relevant for UniCredit (Italy, Germany and Austria).
Considering that a high degree of uncertainty still exists and that economic forecasts show a high degree of volatility where the main uncertainties
refer to the continuation of the pandemic together with the effectiveness of the vaccines and their distribution, the probability of the “Negative”
scenario in December 2020 has been raised by 10% (thus brought to 40% from 30% in the first half of 2020) so to incorporate the risks of
downturns. The probabilities used for the base scenario and the positive scenario have been decreased by 5% each and set, respectively, at 55%
(60% in the first half of 2020) and at 5% (from 10% in the first half of 2020).
For additional information on the measurement of credit exposure refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk”, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E
- Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
Also, in this case the measurement is affected by the already mentioned degree of uncertainty on the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of the
relief measures and, ultimately, the existence and degree of economic recovery.
The evolution of these factors may, indeed, require in future financial years the classification of additional credit exposures as non-performing thus
determining the recognition of additional loan loss provisions related to both these exposures as well as performing exposures following the update
in credit parameters. In this context it will be relevant, among other factors, the ability of the customers to service their debt once moratoria
measures provided by the government or voluntarily by the bank will expire.

Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
In addition, adjustments to the loan loss provisions, might derive from the occurrence of a macro-economic scenario different from the one estimated
for the calculation of the credit risk parameters or by the prevalence on the market of non-performing exposures of prices different from those used
in the measurement.
Finally, the evolution of the real estate market could impact on the value of properties received as collateral and may require an adjustment to the
loan loss provisions.
Other measurements
In addition to the assets mentioned above, the slow-down of economic activity and the associated degree of uncertainty on the economic recovery
has also affected the valuation of the following items:
• fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
• severance pay (in Italy) and other employee’s benefits;
• provisions for risks and charges.
While evaluations have been made on the basis of information deemed to be reasonable and supportable as at 31 December 2020, they might
subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Further elements, in addition to Covid-19 pandemic, that determine uncertainty in the evaluations are (i) domestic and international socio-economic
conditions and subsequent impact on the Bank’s profitability and customers’ creditworthiness, (ii) financial markets which affect changes in interest
rates, prices and actuarial assumptions.
Statement of going concern
In their joint Document No.4 of 3 March 2010, Banca d’Italia, Consob and ISVAP made a few observations on the current situation of the markets
and businesses and requested that information essential for a better understanding of business trends and outlook be disclosed in financial reports.
The Directors observed that the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic during the financial year 2020 and the associated lock-down measures, have
determined, as mentioned above, negative effects that are offset, only in part, by the economic relief measures put in place by the Governments.
The Directors have considered these circumstances in the assessments of significant items of the financial statements, and on the basis of these
assessments, also acknowledging the current uncertainty surrounding the economic recovery and the long-term impact of the lock-down measures
adopted, believe with reasonable certainty that the Bank will continue to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a result, in accordance with
the provisions of IAS1, the document “Company financial statements as at 31 December 2020” was prepared on a going concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, also the main regulatory Group ratios have been taken into account at 31 December 2020, in terms of:
(i) the exact figures at 31 December 2020 (CET1 ratio transitional equal to 15.96%; TLAC ratio equal to 26.97%; Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 171%
based on monthly average on 12 months); (ii) the related buffer versus the minimum requirements at the same reference date (CET1 ratio
transitional: excess of 693 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 743 basis points; Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 71 percentage
points); (iii) the expected evolution of the same ratios during 2021 (in particular, in 2021, it is expected to maintain a significant margin above the
capital requirements, i.e. the so called CET1 ratio “MDA buffer”, above the range of 200-250 basis points that the Group has set as target in the
medium/long term).
Consistently with such evidences, taking into consideration the recommendations issued by European Central Bank in December 2020 and further
corroborating the going concern, the Directors intend to propose in 2021 to the Shareholders’ Meeting to authorise the distribution of a remuneration,
in part in cash and in part through shares buy back, the latter conditional on the reception of the proper authorization by the European Central Bank.
The measurement criteria adopted are therefore consistent with this assumption and with the principles of accrual-based accounting, the relevance
and materiality of accounting information, and the prevalence of economic substance over legal form.
These criteria have not changed with respect to the previous year.

Contractual modifications arising from Covid-19
1) Contractual modifications and accounting derecognition (IFRS9)
In order to limit the effects of the restriction measures put in place to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, starting from the first half 2020, the Bank has
granted to its customers debt moratoria measures. These measures have been granted both following the approval of specific laws by the
government and as a result of specific initiatives by the Bank so to complement government initiatives. In particular the following measures have
been offered:
• Moratorium on mortgages for private Individuals (UniCredit initiative); main features: (i) suspension of the installment (principal) for clients
which - before the crisis - were not suffering financial difficulties and whose transaction is not forborne; (ii) maximum duration: 12 months.
• Moratorium on mortgages for private Individuals (Government initiative); main features: (i) the scope is extended also to clients suffering
financial difficulties before crisis, as long as the delay in payments does not exceed 90 days, as well as self-employed works and professionals; (ii)
maximum duration: 18 months; (iii) fund will pay interest accrued on the residual debt during the suspension period up to 50%; (iv) moratorium
already in force for employees is extended to self-employed workers and professionals who have incurred as a result of emergency a decrease in
turnover of more than 33%; (v) suppressed the ISEE requirement (income limit); (vi) suspension of the whole installment (principal + interests).
The “Ristori” Decree (in force since 25 December 2020) prorogated: (i) until 31 December 2021 the possibility for banks to suspend the loan

granted "until revoked" and of loans granted on advance on credits (the guarantee covers 33% of the increased credit line used between the date
of entry into force of the decree and 30 June 2021); (ii) postponement (until 30 June 2021 under the same conditions) of the repayment of non-
installment loans due to mature before 30 June 2021 (guarantee covers 33%); (iii) suspension (till 30 June 2021) of the payment of the instalments
of loans (principal and interests) due to mature before 30 June 2021 (guarantee covers 33%).
Subsequently the “August” Decree Law of 14 August 2020, No.104, converted into Law No.126 of 13 October 2020, containing several urgent
measures in support of health, work and economy, linked to the Covid-19 emergency:
• extended the moratorium for SME set by the Decree Cura Italia until 31 January 2021 (previous 30 September 2020). The extension operates
automatically, unless expressly waived by the beneficiary company;
• extended to 31 March 2021 the moratorium for the tourist sector, for mortgage payments only, specifying that tourism-sector companies are:
tourism-accommodation companies, travel and tourism agencies and tour operators, spas and physical wellness centers, subjects that manage
amusement parks or theme parks, subjects that carry out tourist guide and assistance activities.
In accordance with ESMA's declaration46 which clarified that it is unlikely that the contractual changes resulting from these moratoria can be
considered as substantial, the Bank has not derecognised the related credit exposures47. A modification loss is consequently recognised in item
“140. Gains/Losses from contractual changes with no cancellations" if the increase in future payments is not sufficient to remunerate the Bank for
the postponement period also in light of local laws and regulations.
2) Amendment to IFRS16 accounting standard
The IASB published 28 May 2020 the "Amendment to IFRS16 Leases Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions" which has been endorsed 15 December
2020.
Such amendments provide lessees with an exemption (permitted and not required) from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a
lease modification. Entities applying the exemption, available from 1 June 2020, would account for the changes as if they were not lease
modifications.
If the exemption is applied by the lessee then:
• forgiveness or waiver of lease payments are accounted for as a variable lease payment against the derecognition of the part of lease liability
forgiven or waived;
• change in lease payments that reduces payments in one period but proportionally increases payments in another, requires interest to be accrued
on the lease liability and lease liability to be reduced in order to reflect lease payments made to the lessor.
This exemption can be used only if the following conditions are met:
• rent concessions occur as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic;
• the revised consideration for the lease is the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
• the reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021;
• there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
The Bank has not applied the exemption foreseen by the IFRS16 amendment.
Reorganization of Wien Permanent establishment (“WPE”) of UniCredit S.p.A. (“UCI”)
In the context of Team 23 Strategic plan the Group is implementing a re-organization of CEE activities executed through the streamlining of the
functions attributed to the WPE of UCI, so to achieve the cost efficiency provided by Team 23.
In September 2020 UCI agreed, coherently with the obligations toward UniCredit Bank Austria (“UCBA”), in the context of re-organization of
activities within CEE made in 2016, to review existing intercompany agreements, indemnifying UCBA for costs which it will incur in the context of
WPE re-organization.
As a result, UCI has recognised during 2020 expenses for €49 million (including VAT) relating mainly to contracts for which the limited possibility of
renegotiations towards third parties suppliers force UCI to reimburse UCBA for services purchased by the latter but that will not more used in the
context of business operations.
46 ESMA public statement: "Accounting implications of the Covid-19 outbreak on the calculation of expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS9" of 25 March 2020.
47 According to IFRS9, the contractual modifications must be accounted for (i) if significant, through the derecognition, (ii) if not significant, through the recalculation of the gross exposure by discounting the contractual cash
flows after the modification at the original effective interest rate. The standard does not provide any indication as to whether a change is significant or not. For further information on accounting principles used by the Bank

Part A - Accounting policies
TLTRO
On 6 January 2021, ESMA published a document which, referring to the changes introduced by the ECB during 2020 due to the Covid-19
emergency with particular reference to the interest rates applicable to the third series of targeted longer term refinancing operations (TLTRO III),
recommends an adequate level of transparency regarding the accounting treatment applied for the purposes of preparing the financial statements,
with particular reference to considerations regarding the qualification of transactions as loans at market rates (IFRS9) or at an interest rate lower
than the market rate (IAS20), method of calculating the effective interest rate and any changes in the estimate of payments for changes in the
valuation regarding compliance with the "eligibility" criteria. In such document ESMA, also specifies that, taking into account the different accounting
treatments observed on the market, it will send a question to the IFRIC on this matter. Therefore, the accounting treatment adopted by the Bank,
described below, may be subject in the future to different interpretations by the competent bodies.
The TLTRO liabilities are banking book funding instruments to be subsequently measured at amortised cost according to IFRS9.4.2.1.
The prospect for the borrowing bank to be charged of a variable negative interest margin on “long term refinancing operations”, additional to the
average Deposit Facility Rate (“DFR”) or Main Refinancing Operation (“MRO”) rate, is linked to the achievement of specific threshold on Cumulative
Net Lending toward eligible counterparties48.
In particular, financial conditions incorporated into TLTROs are reflecting ECB monetary policy initiatives to prospectively reduce market “cost of
funding” for banking institutions by using “non-conventional” tools and reflected in money market operations.
As a result, accounting analysis rejected such a margin would have been assimilated to either (i) a government grants (being ECB TLTRO a “limited
access & banking specific” market by its own), or (ii) an embedded derivative (not filling with IFRS9 derivative definition).
Therefore, such contractual term must be seen as contractual clause included into a one-coupon floating-rate49 financial liability (the refinancing
operation), and to be considered part of the calculation of the liability’s interest revenues according to IFRS9.
Under the said accounting principle, the interests shall be calculated using the “effective interest method” that allocates interest revenues over the
application period of the “effective interest rate”. The latter is defined as the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life
of the financial instruments to the net carrying amount.
Accordingly, having introduced a new/prospective “performance-related” remuneration within the ECB TLTRO “market” specific financial features are
handled similarly to changes in market-index for floating-rate liabilities.
Therefore, referencing EIR rules for “markets-driven” variable remunerations, changes in “market index” (e.g. base rate and spread) are reflected by
adjusting instruments’ carrying amount calculated by reference to the evolution of the “TLTRO index” and limited to the accrued (to-date) portion50.
As a result, TLTRO III effective interest rate for a 3 years funding is comprised between -0.33% and -0.83%51, coherently with (i) benchmark
achievements for Cumulative Net Lending (“CNL”) as at March 2021 and December 2021 and (ii) current MRO and DFR levels.
With reference to 2020, a Net Interest Income contribution equal to +€90 million, additional to “DFR”, has been recognised for the outstanding €51
billion TLTRO funding, fully subscribed in June 2020, reflecting expected CNL threshold achievement as supported by (i) outstanding CNL
production and (ii) expected business developments incorporated into FY2021 budget plan, also corroborated by statistical model used for
calculating the probability related to the achievement of the relevant “minimum thresholds”.
Tax credits connected with the "Cura Italia" and "Rilancio" Law Decrees purchased following the sale without
recourse by the direct beneficiaries or previous buyers
The DL 18/2020 (so-called "Cura Italia") and 34/2020 (so-called "Rilancio"), converted into law No.27 and No.77 of 2020, introduced into the Italian
legal system some tax incentive measures related to both investment expenses (eg. Eco and Sismabonus) and current expenses (eg. rents for non-
residential premises).
These incentives applies to households or businesses, are commensurate with a percentage of the expenditure incurred (which in some cases even
reaches 110%) and are disbursed in the form of tax credits or tax deductions (convertible, on option, into tax credits).
The holders of these credits, not refundable by the State, can use them to offset taxes and contributions or they can further transfer them (in whole
or in part) to third parties.
Starting from the third quarter of 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. launched commercial initiatives aimed at:
• providing "bridge" loans subject to the presentation of appropriate documentation proving the intervention and the future generation of tax credit, to
support the financial needs related to the cost of the interventions;
• simultaneously underwriting commitments related to the purchase of the future tax credit with the associated obligation of the assigning customer
to use the amount collected from the transfer of the tax credit to reimburse the granted "bridge" loan;
• directly purchasing tax credits from assignors who do not require any "bridge" loan.
48 Loans to non-financial corporations & Loans to households, excluding loans for house purchase.
49 Either for the base rate (Avg DRF or Avg MRO) and the spread (up to -50bps with a minimum of -1% for a portion of the liability’s expected duration).
50 Similarly, to other “market indexed” variable rate notes.
51 Early termination would result in lower (i.e. more negative) EIR with additional NII effect.

Part A - Accounting policies
The specific features of these tax credits are such that these assets are not in the scope of specific IAS/IFRS.
Therefore, the paragraph of IAS852 which require the management to define an accounting policy suitable for providing relevant and reliable
information is applied.
In accordance with what is indicated in the paper published by the OIC on 17 May 202053 and in Document No.9 jointly published by Banca d’Italia,
CONSOB, IVASS on 5 January 202154, it is believed that an accounting model based on IFRS9 is the accounting model more suitable for providing
relevant and reliable information.
As a result of the above, on initial recognition tax credits are booked in item “120. Other assets" for a value equal to the purchase price assumed
equal to a Level 3 fair value of the fair value hierarchy.
On subsequent measurement, the provisions of IFRS9 relating to the “Held to collect portfolio” are applied. As a result, these tax credits are
measured at amortised costs recognising in Income statement under item “10. Interest income and similar revenues" the portion, accrued in the
period, of the difference between the value at initial recognition and the value that is expected to be utilised through the offsetting with tax liabilities.
This latter value is subject to periodical re-assessment with recognition into income statement, item “10. Interest income and similar revenues” of the
associated difference in term of carrying amount to such tax credits.
As at 31 December 2020, the tax credit recognised in “Other assets” of UniCredit S.p.A. amounts to €0.1 million.
The commitments connected with the purchase of the future tax credit are recognised, for a value equal to the price that will be paid when the
commitment will be used by the customer, among "Other commitments" (€1.9 million at the end of 2020) and will be subject to impairment tests in
relation to their effectively offset value with recognition in the Income statement under item “170. Net provisions for risks and charges”.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that the "bridge" loan (€1.2 million as at 31 December 2020) is a financial instrument that is
measured at amortised cost according to the ordinary provisions of IFRS9.
Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) transition
A comprehensive reference rates reform is currently taking place following the concerns raised in recent years about the integrity and reliability of
major financial market benchmarks. In order to assess the relevant risks associated with the global benchmark reforms mandated by the Financial
Stability Board (FSB), and taking appropriate actions to ensure an adequate transition to alternative or reformed benchmark rates ahead of the
deadline of the end of 2021 specified in the revised EU Benchmark Regulation BMR, UniCredit group launched in October 2018 a Group wide
project in order to manage the IBORs discontinuation.
Accordingly, a multiyear roadmap has been defined based on both Group exposure (mainly focused on Euro) and transition timeline.
In 2020, UniCredit has followed up the activities defined to ensure a smooth transition away from LIBOR, consistently with the latest international
working groups’ developments and recommendations.
In this sense, it is worth to mention that, after a slowdown at market level on recommendation developments, due to Covid-19 crisis, during the last
part of the year, a number of consultations have been issued both by European ECB Working Groups on Euro Risk-Free Rates, focused on Euribor
fallbacks and cessation triggers, and by other international working groups and bodies (e.g. International Swaps and Derivatives Association - ISDA;
ICE Benchmark Administration - IBA; LCH), focused on LIBOR discontinuation and alternative rates, whose outcomes will be known during 2021
and will be taken into account while envisaging recommendations and market practices to consider on transition.
At the same time, the regulatory discussion has accelerated both within European Commission (i.e. to define possible amendments to the current
Benchmark Market Regulation), within the other mainly involved international market authorities (e.g. Financial Conduct Authority and Bank of
England in the UK, New York State Department of Financial Services in the US), and at local level, in order to support a smooth transition.
Such discussions and consultation outcomes, while aimed to bring further stability in the market and reduce conduct risk, may affect timing and/or
fallback rules applied to outstanding stock of assets, liability and derivatives linked to IBOR yet to be transformed or transitioned.

5 - Equity investments
Equity investments are equity instruments and consequently defined as financial instruments under IAS32.
Investments in equity instruments made with the intention of establishing or maintaining a long-term operational relationship with the investee are
strategic investments.
The following are the types of equity investment:
Subsidiaries
Entities, including structured entities, over which the Bank has direct or indirect control, are considered subsidiaries. Control over an entity entails
the Bank's ability to exercise power in order to influence the variable returns to which the Bank is exposed through its relationship with them.
In order to verify the existence of control, the following factors are considered:
• the purpose and establishment of the investee, in order to identify which are the entity's objectives, the activities that determine its returns and how
these activities are ruled;
• the power, in order to understand whether the Bank has contractual rights that attribute the ability to govern the relevant activities; to this end only
substantial rights that provide practical ability to govern are considered;
• the exposure held in relation to the investee, in order to assess whether the Bank has relationships with the investee, the returns of which are
subject to changes deriving from variations in the investee's performance;
• the existence of potential principal - agent relationships.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 553
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
If the relevant activities are ruled through voting rights, the existence of control is verified considering the voting rights held, including the potential
ones, and the existence of any shareholders' or other agreements which attribute the right to control the majority of the voting rights, to appoint the
majority of the governing body or in any case the power to determine the entity's financial and operating policies.
Subsidiaries may also include any “structured entity” in which the voting rights are not significant for establishing control, including special purpose
entities and investment funds.
In the case of structured entities, the existence of control is ascertained considering both the contractual rights that enable governance of the
relevant activities (or those that contribute most to the results) and the Bank’s exposure to the variability of returns deriving from these activities.
Joint venture
A joint venture is an entity in which the Bank has:
• a joint control agreement;
• rights on the net assets of the entity.
In detail a joint control exists when the decisions over the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of all the parties that share control.
Associates
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence and which are not subsidiaries or joint ventures.
Significant influence is presumed when the investor:
• holds, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the share capital of another entity, or
• is able, also through shareholders' agreements, to exercise significant influence through:
- representation on the governing body of the company;
- participation in the policy-making process, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
- the existence of significant transactions;
- interchange of managerial personnel;
- provision of key technical information.
It should be noted that only companies which are governed through voting rights can be classified as associates.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost.
The purchase price of an equity investment is the sum of:
• the fair value, at the date of acquisition, of the assets sold, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued by the purchaser in exchange for
control of the investee; and
• any cost directly attributable to the acquisition.
If there is evidence that an equity investment may have become impaired, its carrying value is compared with its recoverable value, which is
determined on the basis of its value in use, in turn calculated by means of valuation models in general use in financial business, which discount
expected future cash flow from the equity investment. (methodology Discounted Cash Flow).
If it is not possible to obtain sufficient information the value in use is considered to be the net worth of the company.
If the recovery value is less than the carrying value, the difference is recognised through profit or loss in item “220. Gains (Losses) of equity
investments”. If the reasons for impairment are removed following a subsequent event occurring after the recognition of impairment, write-backs are
made through same profit or loss item.
Equity investments considered strategic investments not covered by the above definitions and not recognised in item “110. Non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale” are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or other financial
assets mandatorily at fair value and accordingly treated.

7 - Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary without physical substance which is expected to be used for more than one period and from
which future economic benefits are probable.
Intangible assets are principally represented by software.
Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognised at purchase cost, i.e. including any cost incurred to bring the asset into use, less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses.
Costs sustained after purchase are:
• added to initial cost, provided they increase future economic benefits arising from the underlying asset (i.e. if they increase its value or productive
capacity);
• in other cases (i.e. when they do not increase the asset’s original value, but are intended merely to preserve its original functionality) are taken to
profit or loss in a single amount in the year in which they have been borne.
An intangible asset with a definite life is subject to straight-line amortisation over its estimated useful life.
Residual useful life is usually assessed up to 7 years with regard to software.
If there is clear evidence that an asset has been impaired, the carrying amount of the asset is compared with its recoverable value, equal to the
greater of its fair value less selling cost and its value in use, i.e. the present value of future cash flows expected to originate from the asset.
Any impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss item “190. Net value adjustments/write-backs on intangible assets”.
If the value of a previously impaired intangible asset, other than goodwill is restored, its increased carrying amount cannot exceed the net carrying
amount it would have had if there were no losses recognised on the prior-year impairment.
An intangible asset is derecognised (i) on disposal or (ii) when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or sale in the future and
any difference between sale proceeds or recoverable value and carrying value is recognised in the profit and loss item “250. Gains (Losses) on
disposal of investments” or “190. Net value adjustments/write-backs on intangible assets”, respectively.

Italian staff severance pay (Trattamento di fine rapporto - “TFR”)
The “TFR” provision for Italy-based employee benefits is to be construed as a “post-retirement defined benefit”. It is therefore recognised on the
basis of an actuarial estimate of the amount of benefit accrued by employees discounted to present value. This benefit is calculated by an actuary
outside the Group using the “Unit Credit Projection Method” (see previous paragraph 10 - under Provisions for Risks and Charges - Retirement
Payments and Similar Obligations). This method distributes the cost of the benefit evenly over the employee’s working life.

A.3 - Information on transfers between portfolios of financial assets
There were no transfers between portfolios of financial assets in 2020.
A.4 - Information on fair value
Qualitative information
This section presents a disclosure on fair value as required by IFRS13.
Fair value is the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants in
the principal market at the measurement date (i.e. an exit price).
The fair value of a financial liability with a demand feature (e.g. a demand deposit) cannot be lower than the amount payable on demand, discounted
from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid.
For financial instruments listed in active markets the fair value is determined on the basis of official prices in the principal market to which the Group
has access (Mark to Market).
A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from a pricing service, the dealer,
the broker, the agency that determines prices or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on
an arm’s length basis. If a published price quotation in an active market does not exist for a financial instrument in its entirety, but active markets
exist for its component parts, fair value can be determined on the basis of the relevant market prices for the component parts.
If the observable prices in active market or other observable inputs, such as the quoted price of a similar instrument in an active market, the Group
may use another valuation techniques, such as:
• a market approach (e.g. using quoted prices for similar liabilities or equity instruments held by other parties as assets);
• cost approach (e.g. it reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset, that is the current
replacement cost);
• an income approach (e.g. a present value technique that takes into account the future cash flows that a market participant would expect to receive
from holding the liability or equity instrument as an asset).
The Group uses valuation models (Mark to Model) in keeping with the methods generally accepted and used by the market. Valuation models
include techniques based on the discounting of future cash flows and on volatility estimates, and they are subject to revision both during their
development and periodically in order to ensure their consistency with the objectives of the valuation.
These methods use inputs based on prices set in recent transactions for the instrument being valued and/or prices/quotations for instruments having
similar characteristics in terms of risk profile. Indeed, these prices/quotations are relevant for determining significant parameters in terms of credit,
liquidity and price risk of the instrument being valued. Reference to these market parameters allows to limit the discretionary nature of the valuation,
and ensures that the resulting fair value can be verified. If, for one or more risk factors it is not possible to refer to market data, the valuation models
employed use estimates based on historical data as inputs.
As a further guarantee of the objectivity of valuations derived from valuation models, the Group employs:
• Independent price verifications (IPVs);
• Fair value adjustments (FVAs).
Independent price verification requires that the prices are verified at least monthly by Risk Management units that are independent from the units
that assume the risk exposure.
This verification calls for comparing and adjusting the price in line with valuations obtained from independent market participants.
For instruments not quoted in active markets, the above verification process uses prices contributed by info providers as a reference, and assigns a
greater weighting to those prices that are considered representative of the instrument being valued. This valuation can include the "executability" of
the transaction at the price observed, the number of contributors, the degree of similarity of the financial instruments, the consistency of prices from
different sources, and the process followed by the info provider to obtain the information.

A.4.1 Fair value Levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used
Hereby we provide IFRS13 disclosure requirements about accounting portfolios measured at fair value on a recurring basis, not measured at fair
value, or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Fixed-Income securities
Fixed-Income securities are priced in a two tier process depending on the liquidity in the respective market. Liquid instruments in active markets are
marked to market and consequently positions in these instruments are disclosed in reference to Fair Value Hierarchy under Level 155. In order to
assess it, within the global bond Independent Price Verification (IPV) process a daily Liquidity Indicator is defined taking into account:
• the number of executable bid/ask quotes;
• their relative sizes and spreads.
Such indicator is tracked over a 20 business days time window in order to obtain a stable monthly indicator.
Instruments not traded in active markets are marked to model based on implied credit spread curves derived from the former Level 1 instruments.
The model maximises the use of observable input and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. With this respect, depending on the proximity of
the credit spread curve applied, the bonds are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3, Level 3 is applied in case credit spread curves used are significantly
unobservable. Under fair value accounting, fair value adjustments for liquidity and model deficiencies compensate for the lack of market observables
for the Level 2 and Level 3 positions.
In the global bond IPV process market prices of Level 1 bonds and pricing models for illiquid bonds are regularly verified for accuracy.
Structured financial products
The fair value of structured financial products not quoted is determines on active markets using the appropriate derivative valuation methodology
given the nature of the embedded structure (when this is not to be separated). Such instruments are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on
the observability of significant inputs to the model.
Asset Backed Securities
UniCredit valuation process relies on internal policies centred on:
• extension and implementation across all the Group’s Legal Entities of an independent Price Verification (IPV) process suited to the changed
market conditions for Structured Credit Bonds;
• integration of current Fair Value Adjustments Policy.
According to the IPV process the quality of a price is assessed based upon the availability of quotes of independent market players for identical
assets.
The process relies first on consensus data provider as reliable collector of market quotes.
As a second step, prices are assessed by benchmarking each security to a pool of similar securities with available market quotes. An alternative
approach consists in evaluating the instrument through the use of quantitative pricing models, which are applicable every time that information
regarding market participants assumptions on model parameters are reasonably made available without excessive costs or efforts.
Derivatives
Fair value of derivatives not traded in an active market is determined using a mark-to-model valuation technique. In such cases, where active
markets exist for its component parts, then fair value is determined on the basis of the relevant market prices for the component parts.
Valuation techniques that are based on significant inputs that are observable are referred to as Level 2 valuations, while those based on techniques
that use significant unobservable inputs are referred to as Level 3 valuations.
Equity instruments
Equity Instruments are assigned to Level 1 when a quoted price is available on a liquid market and to Level 3 when no quotations are available or
quotations have been suspended indefinitely. These instruments are classifies as Level 2 only when trading volume on the market where the
instrument is quoted has decreased significantly.
55 As far as Italian Government bonds are concerned, it is worth stressing they are typically exchanged on the MTS market which is largely aknowledged as the main liquid platform for this kind of asset.

Investment funds
The Group holds investments in certain investment funds that publish net asset value (NAV) per share, including mutual funds, private equity funds,
hedge funds (including funds of funds) and real estate funds. The Group’s investments include co-investments in funds that are managed by the
Group and investments in funds that are managed by third parties and in particular:
Real estate funds
Real Estate Funds are mapped to Level 1 when quoted prices are available on an active market; when this condition does not hold, Real Estate
Funds are disclosed as Level 3 and they are evaluated through an adequate credit adjustment of the NAV based on the specific features of each
fund.
Other funds
The Group holds investments also in mutual funds, hedge funds and private equity funds.
Funds are usually assigned to Level 1 when a quoted price is available on an active market.
Funds are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on NAV availability, portfolio transparency and possible issues relating to position write-off.
Property, plant and equipment measured at fair value
The Group owns property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes, which are valued according to the fair value model for Real Estate
investments linked to liabilities that generate a return on investments themselves.
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique. Given
the current portfolio composition, most of the positions are at Level 3.
Fair Value Adjustments (FVA)
Fair Value Adjustment is defined as the amount to be added either to the market observed mid-price or to the theoretical price generated by a
valuation model with the aim of obtaining a fair value of the position which reflects the actual exit price of a certain position.
Below a list of adjustments:
• Credit/Debit Valuation Adjustment (CVA/DVA);
• Model risk;
• Close-out costs;
• Other adjustments.
Credit/Debit Valuation Adjustment (CVA/DVA)
Credit Valuation Adjustments (CVAs) and Debit Valuation Adjustments (DVAs) are incorporated into derivative valuations to reflect the impact on fair
value of counterparty credit risk and UniCredit own credit quality respectively.
UniCredit CVA/DVA methodology is based on the following inputs:
• EAD derived by simulation techniques. Simulated exposures also take into account Specific Wrong-Way Risk that arises from transactions where
there is a correlation between counterparty credit risk and the underlying derivative risk factors;
• PD implied by current market default rates, obtained from Credit Default Swaps;
• LGD based on the estimated level of expected recovery should a counterparty default and implied by current market default rates, obtained from
credit default swaps.
As at 31 December 2020, net CVA/DVA cumulative adjustment, relating to performing counterparts, amounts to €49.4 million negative. The part
related to own credit spread evolution, which is filtered out from regulatory capital (accordingly to CRDIV), amounts to €144 million negative.
Funding Cost and Benefit Adjustment (FCA/FBA)
Funding Valuation Adjustment (FundVA) is the sum of a Funding Cost Adjustment (FCA) and of a Funding Benefit Adjustment (FBA) that indeed
accounts for the expected future funding costs/benefits for derivatives that are not fully collateralised. Most material contributors are in-the-money
trades with uncollateralised counterparties.
UniCredit FVA methodology is based on the following inputs:
• positive and negative exposure profiles derived leveraging on a risk-neutral spin-off of the Counterparty Credit Risk internal model;
• PD term structure implied by current market default rates obtained from credit default swaps;
• a funding spread curve that is representative of the average funding spread of peer financial groups.

Part A - Accounting policies
As at 31 December 2020 the Fair Value adjustment component (FundVA) reflect into P&L amounts to €19.1 million negative.
Model risk
Financial models are used for the valuation of the financial instruments if the direct market quotes are not readily available. In general the model risk
is represented by the possibility that a financial instrument’s evaluation is actually sensitive to the choice of model. It is possible to value the same
financial instrument by using alternative models which could provide different results in term of pricing. The model risk adjustment refers to the risk
that the actual fair value of the instrument differs from the value produced by the model.
Close-out costs
It measures the implicit costs of closing an (aggregated) trading position. The position could be closed by a long position (or purchase in the case of
a short position), or by entering into a new transaction (or several transactions) that offsets (hedges) the open position. The close-out costs are
typically derived from the bid/ask spreads observed on the market. It accounts for the fact that a position is valued at mid but can only be closed at
bid or ask. This adjustment is not needed when the position is marked at bid or ask and already represents an exit price. In addition a close-out
adjustment of the NAV is applied when there are some penalties relating to position write-off in an investment fund.
Other adjustments
Other fair value adjustments, which are not included in the previous categories, could be taken into consideration to align the evaluation to the
current exit price, also according to the level of liquidity of the market and valuation parameters, e.g. adjustment of equity prices whose quotation on
the market are not representative of the effective exit price.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Financial instrument not carried at fair value, for example retail loans and deposit, and credit facilities extended to corporate clients are not managed
on a fair value basis.
For these instruments fair value is calculated for disclosure purposes only and does not impact the balance sheet or the profit or loss. Additionally,
since these instruments generally do not trade, there is significant management judgment required to determine their fair values as defined by
IFRS13.
Cash and cash balances
Cash and cash balances are not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, but they are carried at amounts that approximate fair value,
due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.
Financial assets at amortised cost
For the assets that are composed by securities, fair value is determined according to what explained in section “Assets and Liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis - Fixed Income Securities”.
On the other hands, fair value for performing Loans and Receivables to banks and customers is determined using the discounted cash flow model
adjusted for credit risk. Some portfolios are valued according to simplified approaches, which however take into account the financial features of the
financial instruments.
Property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes
The fair value of property, plant and equipment held for investment purposes is determined on the basis of a valuation by an independent appraiser
who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification which perform its valuation mainly on the basis of an indirect knowledge of the assets
through the information made available by the owner and relating to the localisation, consistency, destination and in consideration of market
analysis.
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Fair value for debt securities in issue is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit credit risk. The Credit Spread is
determined using UCG’s subordinated and non-subordinated risk curves.
On the other hands, fair value for other financial liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit credit risk.
The Credit Spread is determined using UCG’s senior and subordinated risk curves.
Description of the valuation techniques
Specific valuation techniques are used to value positions for which a market price is not directly observable from market sources. The Bank uses
well known valuation techniques for determining fair values of financial and non-financial instruments that are not actively traded and quoted. The
valuation techniques used for Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities are described below.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 561
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Option Pricing Model
Option model valuation techniques are generally used for instruments in which the holder has a contingent right or obligation based on the
occurrence of a future event, such as the price of a referenced asset going above or below a predetermined strike price. Option Pricing Models
estimate the likelihood of the specified event occurring by incorporating assumptions such as volatility estimates, price of the underlying instrument
and expected rate of return.
Discounted cash flow
Discounted cash flow valuation techniques generally consist of developing an estimate of future cash flows that are expected to occur over the life of
an instrument. The model requires the estimation of the cash flow and the adoption of market’s parameters for the discounting: discount rate or
discount margin reflects the credit and/or funding spreads required by the market for instruments with similar risk and liquidity profiles to produce a
“discounted value”. The fair value of the contract is given by the sum of the present values of future cash flows.
Hazard Rate Model
The valuation of CDS instruments requires the knowledge of the entity’s survival probability at future dates. The estimate of this probability curve
uses the standard model for survival probabilities and requires as parameters the credit default swap market quotes on standard future dates in
addition to the risk free curve and the expected recovery rate.
The hazard rate is part of the described process and it indicates the instantaneous probability of default at different future instants.
Market Approach
A valuation technique that uses prices generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets, liabilities or a group of
assets and liabilities.
Gordon Growth Model
This is the model used to determine the intrinsic value of an equity investment, based on a series of future dividends which grow at a constant rate.
Given a dividend to be paid in a specific year and the hypothesis that the dividend grows at a constant rate, the model computes the present value
of future dividends.
Dividend Discount Model
This model is used to determine the value of an equity investment, based on the series of predicted future dividends. Given a dividend to be paid in
a specific year and the hypothesis that the dividend grows at a constant rate, the model computes the fair value of an equity share as the sum of the
present value of all future dividends.
Adjusted NAV
Net asset value is the total value of a fund’s assets less liabilities. An increase in net asset value would result in an increase in a fair value measure.
Usually for funds classified as Level 3, NAV represents a risk free valuation, therefore in this case the NAV is adjusted so as to consider the issuer’s
default risk.
Description of the inputs used to measure the fair value of items categorised in Level 2 and 3
Hereby a description of the main significant inputs used to measure the fair value of items categorised in Level 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Volatility
Volatility is a measure for variation of price of a financial instrument over time. In particular, volatility measures the speed and severity of market
price changes for an instrument, parameter or market index given the particular instrument, parameter or index changes in value over time,
expressed as a percentage of relative change in price. The higher the volatility of the underlying, the riskier the instrument. In general, long option
positions benefit from increases in volatility, whereas short option positions will suffer losses.
There are different types of volatility:
• volatility of interest rate;
• inflation volatility;
• volatility of foreign exchange;
• volatility of equity stocks, equity or other indexes/prices.
Correlation
Correlation is a measure of the relationship between the movements of two variables. When parameters are positively correlated, an increase in
correlation results in a higher fair value measure. On the contrary, given a short correlation position, an increase in correlation, in isolation, would
generally result in a decrease in a fair value measure. Therefore changes in correlation levels can have a major impact, favorable or unfavorable, on
the fair value of an instrument, depending on the type of correlation.
562 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Correlation is a pricing input for a derivative product where the payoff is driven by multiple underlying risks. The level of correlation used in the
valuation of derivatives with multiple underlying risks depends on a number of factors including the nature of those risks.
Dividends
The derivation of a forward price for an individual stock or index is important both for measuring fair value for forward or swap contracts and for
measuring fair value using option pricing models. The relationship between the current stock price and the forward price is based on a combination
of expected future dividend levels and payment timings and, to a lesser extent, the relevant funding rates applicable to the stock in question. The
dividend yield and timing represents the most significant parameter in determining fair value for instruments that are sensitive to an equity forward
price.
Interest rate curve
The calculation of the interest rate curve is based on standard bootstrapping techniques relying on the set of quotes of appropriate financial
instruments, for each currency, which turns interest rates in zero-coupon.
Less liquid currencies interest curve refer to the rates in currencies for which a market liquidity doesn’t exist in terms of tightness, depth and
resiliency. The illiquidity of these input data impacts directly the valuation of securities or derivatives expressed in illiquid currencies.
Inflation Swap rate
The determination of forward levels for inflation indexes is based on swap quote over inflation indexes. Swap over inflation may present a low
liquidity level whether there is no liquid market in terms of rigidity, deepness and resistance. The illiquidity of those inputs has an indirect impact on
the valuation of a debt instrument linked to inflation (inflation-linked note) or in case of a derivative over inflation.
Credit spreads
Different valuation models, especially for credit derivatives require an input for the credit spread which reflects the credit quality of the associated
credit name. The credit spread of a particular security is quoted in relation to the yield on a benchmark security or reference rate, typically either U.S.
Treasury or LIBOR/EURIBOR and is generally expressed in terms of basis points.
The ranges for credit spreads cover a variety of underlings (index and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and
investment-grade). The broad range of this population gives rise to the width of the ranges of unobservable inputs.
Loss Given Default (LGD)/Recovery Rate
LGD also known as loss severity (the inverse concept is the recovery rate) represents the percentage of contractual cash flows lost in the event of a
default, expressed as the net amount of loss relating to the outstanding balance. An increase in the loss severity, in isolation, would result in a
decrease in a fair value measure. The Loss given default is facility-specific because such losses are generally understood to be influenced by key
transaction characteristics such as the presence of collateral and the degree of subordination.
Price
Where market prices are not observable, comparison via proxy is used to measure a fair value.
Prepayment Rate (PR)
The PR is the estimated rate at which forecasted prepayments of principal of the related debt instrument are expected to occur. Voluntary
unscheduled payments (prepayments) change the future cash flows for the investor and thereby change the fair value of the security.
In general as prepayment speeds change, the weighted average life of the security changes, which impacts the valuation either positively or
negatively, depending upon the nature of the security and the direction of the change in the weighted average life.
Probability of Default (PD)
The probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of not collecting contractual amounts. It provides an estimate of the likelihood that a client of
a financial institution will be unable to meet its debt obligations over a particular time horizon. The PD of an obligor not only depends on the risk
characteristics of that particular obligor but also the economic environment and the degree to which it affects the obligor.
Early Conversion
The early conversion is the estimate of the probability that the liability would be converted into equity earlier than the terms stated.
EBITDA
EBITDA is an indicator of the current operating profitability of the business, that is the income generated by the use of the company’s assets and the
commercialisation of the products manufactured.

A.4.2 Valuations processes and sensitivities
The Bank verifies that the value attributed to each position reflects the current fair value in an appropriate way. Assets and liabilities subject to fair
value measurements are determined using different techniques, among which (but not only) models such as discounted cash flow and internal
models. On the basis of the observability of the input used, all the measurements are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy.
When a financial instrument, measured at fair value, is valued through the use of one or more significant inputs not directly observable on the
market, a further procedure for the price verification is implemented. These procedures include the revision of relevant historical data, the analysis of
profits and losses, the individual valuation of each component for structural products and benchmarking. This approach uses subjective opinions and
judgments based on experience and, therefore, it could require valuation adjustments which take into account the bid/ask spread, liquidity and
counterparty risk, in addition to the valuation model type adopted.
According to Group Market Risk Governance guidelines, in order to ensure the right separateness of the functions in charge of the model
development and those in charge of the validation processes, all valuation models developed by Group companies’ front offices are independently
tested centrally and validated by the Group Internal Validation functions. The aim of this independent control structure is evaluating the model risk
from a theoretical solidity, calibration techniques eventually applied and appropriateness of the model for a specific product in a defined market point
of views.
In addition to the daily mark-to-market or mark-to-model valuation, the Independent Price Verification (IPV) is applied by from Market Risk function
with the aim of guaranteeing a fair value provided by an independent structure for all instruments, illiquid included.
Fair value sensitivity to variations in unobservable inputs used in the fair value computation for instruments categorised as
Level 3
The sensitivities to change in the unobservable parameter for the different financial instrument categories of level 3 valued at fair value are
presented in the table below as change of corresponding relevant parameters:
• for derivatives on equities and commodities: 1% of volatility, 10% of dividend, 1% of correlation and 10% of volatility skew;
• for foreign exchanges: 1% of underlying volatility;
• for interest rate derivatives: 1 basis point of rates curves and volatilities;
• for credit derivatives: 1 basis point of credit spread or, if Level 3 attribution for a derivative is due to counterparty classification as not performing,
the CVA impact of a 5% shift of the recovery rate;
• for debt securities: 1 basis point of credit spread;
• for equities: 1% of the underlying;
• for Units in Investment Funds quotes: 5 basis points shift in PD and LGD, if evaluated leveraging on models considering counterparty credit risk as
main risk factor, otherwise 1% of fair value.

A.4.3 Fair value hierarchy
IFRS13 establishes a fair value hierarchy according to the observability of the input used in the valuation techniques adopted for valuations.
The fair value hierarchy level associated to assets and liabilities is set as the minimum level among all significant valuation inputs used.
A valuation input is not considered significant for the fair value of an instrument if the remaining inputs are able to explain the major part of the fair
value variance itself over a period of three months.
In some specific cases, the significance limit is assessed in relation to the fair value of the instrument at the measurement date.
In particular, three levels are considered:
• Level 1: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the quoted prices on active markets;
• Level 2: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models which use observable inputs on active
markets;
• Level 3: fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models which prevalently use significant
unobservable input on active markets.
Financial instruments are classified to a certain fair value level according to the observability of the input used for the valuation.
Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets): quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets are available for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is a market in which orderly transactions for the asset or liability take place with
sufficient frequency and volume for pricing information to be provided on an on-going basis (e.g. MTS market about prices for most of the
government bonds therein traded).
Level 2 (observable inputs): inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. Inputs are observable if they are developed on the basis of publicly available information about actual events or transactions and reflect
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Level 3 (unobservable inputs): inputs other than the ones included in Level 1 and Level 2, not directly observable on the market for the evaluation
of asset and liability, or used for the definition of significant adjustments to fair value. Unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
When fair value is measured directly taking into consideration an observable price and quoted on an active market, the hierarchy attribution process
will assign Level 1. When fair value has to be measured either via Comparable approach or via Mark-to-Model approach, the hierarchy attribution
process will assign Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the observability of all the significant input parameters.
Within the choice among various valuation techniques the Group employs the one which maximises the use of observable inputs.
Transfers between hierarchy levels
The main drivers to transfers in and out the FV levels (both between L1 and L2 and in/out L3) include changes in market conditions (among which
liquidity parameter) and enhancements to valuation techniques and weights for unobservable inputs used for the valuation itself.
Quantitative and qualitative details about transfers between FV levels occurred in the period is presented in paragraph “A.4.5 Hierarchy of fair value”
of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting policies, A.4 - Information on
fair value, Quantitative information.
A.4.4 Other information
The Bank uses the IFRS13 exception for fair value measurements on a net basis with reference to financial assets and liabilities with offsetting
positions of market risk or counterparty credit risk.

The item “1. c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value” at Level 3 as at 31 December 2020 includes the investments in Atlante and Italian
Recovery Fund, former Atlante II (carrying value €350 million) and in “Schema Volontario” (carrying value €7 million).
Since no market valuations or prices of comparable securities are available for “Schema Volontario”, at 31 December 2020 the fair value of such
instrument was determined using internal models (Discounted Cash Flow and Market Multiples) also having as reference the valuation of the
financial assets of the “Schema Volontario” (supported by the advisor in charge) contained in the Rendiconto 2019 of the “Schema Volontario” itself,
while concerning Atlante and Italian Recovery Fund, former Atlante II, the Fair Value was determined having as reference the valuation of the
financial assets provided from the fund itself adjusted to consider the valuation risks underlying the estimate provided by the fund and mainly due to
the liquidity premium and the availability of the information related to the performance of the fund’s underlying assets.
See the paragraph “2.5 Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value: breakdown by product” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit
S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part B - Balance sheets - Assets, Section 2 - Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss - Item 20.
Transfers between level of fair value occurring during the year mainly reflect the evolution of reference market and the enhancement of processes
for fair value level attribution.
Besides the transfers related to financial assets and liabilities carried at Level 3 detailed in the sections below during the year the following transfers
occurred:
• Level 2 to Level 1 owing to an improvement of the liquidity and price reliability indicators (based on the bid-ask spread, relative size and
applicability of the published prices) collected by third parties as calculated and recorded in the context of the Global Bond IPV process:
- of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial assets held for trading, designed at fair value and mandatorily at fair
value) for approximately €62 million;
- of financial assets measured at fair value through reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for approximately
€17 million.

Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The changes occurred between 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 in the ratio between fair value and book value for financial assets at
amortised cost reflect the enhancement of the methodology and the parameters adopted for the fair value calculation for disclosure and the
evolution in the benchmark interest rate, in the risk premium and in the probability of default depending on or deriving from markets trend.
These events together with the evolution of the approach to identify the significance of non-observable inputs have been reflected in fair value
hierarchy level distribution.
The book value of items “3. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale” (Assets) includes amounts referred to assets
measured on balance sheet on the basis of their cost for €238 million. For further details on these two sub-items see the table reported in the
paragraph “11.1 Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale: breakdown by asset type” of the Company financial statements
of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part B - Balance sheet - Assets, Section 11 - Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held
for sale and Liabilities associated with classified as held for sale - Item 100 (Assets) and Item 70 (Liabilities).
A.5 - Information on “day one profit/loss”
The value at which financial instruments are recognised is equal to their fair value on the same date.
The fair value of financial instruments, other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss, at their recognition date is usually assumed to
be equal to the amount collected or paid.
For financial instruments held for trading (see Sections 1.a) and 12 of part A.2 above) and instruments designated at fair value (see Sections 1.b)
and 13 of part A.2 above), any difference from the amount collected or paid is posted under the appropriate items of the income statement.
The use of conservative valuation models, the processes described above for revising the models used and related parameters and value
adjustments to reflect model risk ensure that the amount recognised in the income statement is not derived from the use of valuation parameters
that cannot be observed.
More specifically, the calculation of fair value adjustments to reflect model risk ensures that the fair value portion of these instruments relating to the
use of subjective parameters is not recognised in the profit and loss account, but changes the balance sheet value of these instruments.
The presence of further “day one profit” leads to the recognition of a distinct asset component that is the object of linear competition.
Recognition of this portion in the profit and loss account is then made only when objective parameters are applied and therefore the adjustments are
derecognised.
The overall fair value adjustments to reflect these adjustments (amount not recognised in the Income statement) amounts to +1,1 million at 31
December 2020.

The change in the item "Demand deposits with Central Banks" (equal to over €59 billion) is mainly attributable to investment of liquidity into
overnight deposits with Banca d’Italia, in addition to the part that is maintained in the Compulsory Reserves. The aforementioned increase in liquidity
position is substantially due to a net surplus of funds recognised both (i) in the context of commercial activity with customers (about €25 billion the
annual change in the net imbalance between deposits and receivables from/to customers, mainly allocated into short-term positions) and (ii) as part
of the interbank business (about €32 billion the annual change in the net imbalance between deposits and receivables from/to banks, mainly as a
result of the increase in TLTRO facilities for about €18 billion and in Reverse repos for approximately €14 billion).

Information about the units of Atlante Fund and Italian Recovery Fund (former Atlante II)
Atlante is a closed-end alternative investment fund (FIA) ruled by Italian law reserved to professional investors and managed by DeA Capital
Alternative Funds SGR S.p.A. (“DeA”). The size of the fund was equal to €4,249 million, of which UniCredit S.p.A. invested for about 19.9%.
The investment policy of Atlante foresees that the fund may be invested (i) in banks with regulatory capital ratios lower than the minimum level set
down in the SREP process and, thus, realise, upon request of the supervisory authority, actions of capital strengthening through capital increases
and (ii) in Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) of a plurality of Italian banks.
With reference to Atlante fund, as at 31 December 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. holds shares classified as financial assets mandatory at fair value with a
carrying value of €168 million. The year-to-date overall cash investments are equal to €844 against which impairments for €684 million and positive
fair value changes for €24 million were carried out. Received reimbursement amount to €16 million. In addition, UniCredit S.p.A. has a residual
commitment to invest in the fund for an amount less than €2 million.
On August 2016, it was launched the Atlante II fund, redenominated Italian Recovery Fund since 27 October 2017, a closed-end investment
alternative fund reserved to professional investors, also managed by DeA, which, unlike the Atlante fund, may invest only in NPL and instruments
linked to NPL transactions (such as warrants) in order to reduce the risk in line with the parameters used by the largest world institutional investors.
With reference to Italian Recovery Fund, as at 31 December 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. holds shares with a carrying value of €182 million, classified as
financial assets mandatory at fair value. The year-to-date overall cash investments are equal to €187 against which positive fair value changes for
€18 million were carried out. Received reimbursement amount to €23 million. In addition, UniCredit S.p.A. has a residual commitment to invest in
Italian Recovery Fund for about €8 million.
As at 31 December 2020 the book value (fair value) of both was determined with reference to the valuation of financial assets provided by the
management company DeA adequate to mitigate the valuation risks implicit in the estimate provided and mainly due to the estimate of the liquidity
premium and the prompt availability of information relating to the performance of the underlying assets acquired by the fund itself. This fair value
valuation determined in the year a higher value for €14 million accounted into the Bank profit and loss.
Under a regulatory perspective, the treatment of the quotes held by UniCredit S.p.A. in the Atlante Fund and Italian Recovery Fund foresees the
application of article 128 of the CRR (Items associated with particular high risk). With reference to the residual commitments, the regulatory
treatment foresees the application of a Credit Conversion Factor equal to 100% (“full risk” according to the Annex I of CRR), for the calculation of the
related Risk Weighted Assets.
Information about the investment in the Schema Volontario
In November 2015 UniCredit S.p.A. has joined the "Schema Volontario" (hereafter “SV”), a private entity introduced by Fondo Interbancario di Tutela
dei Depositi (“FITD”), with appropriate modification of its statute.
SV is an instrument for the resolution of bank crises through supporting measures in favour of its member banks, if specific conditions laid down by
the legislation occur. SV has an independent funding and the participating banks are committed to supply the relevant resources upon demand,
when resources are needed to fund interventions. The initial participating size of the SV has been set up to €700 million (of which €110 million
referred to UniCredit S.p.A.).
Here follow the main transactions carried out by SV.
Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena (CariCesena)
In June 2016 the SV approved an action supporting CariCesena, in relation to a capital increase approved by the bank itself on 8 June 2016 for
€280 million of which €44 million referred to UniCredit S.p.A. On 30 September 2016 this commitment was converted into a monetary payment
which has led to the recognition of capital instruments classified, on the basis of the pre-existing accounting standard IAS39, as “available for sale"
for €44 million for UniCredit S.p.A. (in line with the monetary payment). The update of the evaluation of the instruments as at 31 December 2016,
according to an internal evaluation model based on multiples of a banking basket integrated with estimates on Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena’s
credit portfolio and the related equity/capital needs, brought to the full impairment of the position.

Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
CariCesena, Cassa di Risparmio di Rimini (Carim) e Cassa di Risparmio di San Miniato (Carismi)
In September 2017, in order to face Crédit Agricole CariParma intervention in favour of CariCesena, Carim and Carismi, based on a capital increase
of €464 million and on the subscription of bonds from NPL securitisation of these banks for €170 million, the Fund increased its capital endowment
for €95 million (to an overall amount of €795 million), increasing the residual commitment referred to UniCredit S.p.A. to €81 million. Hence, in the
same month UniCredit S.p.A. paid €9 million in respect of the part of the intervention relating to the capital increase of Carim and Carismi, and in
December 2017, UniCredit S.p.A. paid the remaining €72 million (of which €45 million referred to the capital increase of the banks and €27 million
referred to the subscription of securitisations). Following these events, UniCredit group’s residual commitment towards SV was substantially nil.
All the payments referred to the capital increase of the banks brought to the recognition of capital instruments classified, on the basis of the pre-
existing accounting standard IAS39, as “available for sale” and amounting to €54 million for UniCredit S.p.A., entirely cancelled in 2017 financial
statements due to the sale of the banks to Crédit Agricole CariParma at a symbolic price.
Regarding the portion of investment referred to the subscription of SV of Junior and Mezzanine quotes of the securitisation, the initial value (€27
million for UniCredit S.p.A.) was rectified in 2017 to reflect fair value valuation declared by the SV (€4 million for UniCredit S.p.A.) resulting from the
analysis conducted by the advisors in charge of the underlying credits evaluation, conducted according to a Discounted Cash Flow model based on
recovery plans elaborated by SPV’s special servicer.
Following the update of the assessment received from the SV (supported by the analysis of the appointed advisor), as at 31 December 2018
UniCredit S.p.A. recognised an impairment of €1.2 million, increased with a further impairment of €0.2 million at 31 December 2020; updated
valuation as at 31 December 2020 has resulted in a further impairment of €1 million. Thus, 31 December 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. carrying value of
investments related to securitisation is equal to nearly €1.9 million.
Banca Carige
On 30 November 2018, the Shareholders' Meeting of the SV decided to intervene in favour of Banca Carige S.p.A. by subscribing a Tier 2
subordinated loan (for a maximum amount of €320 million) issued by Banca Carige S.p.A. and addressed to the conversion into capital to the extent
necessary to allow an expected capital increase of €400 million.
On the same date, within the framework of the agreement stipulated with SV, Banca Carige S.p.A. placed bonds for €320 million, of which €318.2
million subscribed directly through the SV itself. The bonds were issued at par (100% of the nominal value), with a fixed rate coupon of 13% and a
maturity of 10 years (maturity 30 November 2028).
Considering the failure to provide by 22 December 2018 the delegation to the Board of Directors by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of
Banca Carige S.p.A. to increase by payment the share capital for a maximum total amount of €400 million, with retroactive effect interests on the
principal amount of outstanding bonds from time to time mature at a nominal fixed rate of 16% starting from the date of issue.
With reference to the intervention in favour of Banca Carige S.p.A., UniCredit S.p.A. contribution to the SV at the recognition date amounts to €53
million, and it has been identified as a financial instrument classified, on the basis of the existing accounting standard IFRS9, under item "20.c)
Financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”.
As at 31 December 2018, following the evaluation process of the investment, UniCredit S.p.A. recognised impairments for €16 million, thus bringing
the carrying value of the instrument to €37 million.
As at 31 December 2019 UniCredit S.p.A. has evaluated instrument’s fair value according to internal models (Market Multiples and Multi-Scenario
Analysis) for €13 million, also considering the occurred reimbursement of interests for €9 million.
Update of evaluation at 31 December 2020 has determined a fair value of €5.1 million.

Information about the shareholding in Banca d'Italia
Since the end of 2015, UniCredit S.p.A. started the disposal of its stake in Banca d’Italia for an amount corresponding to its carrying value. Until the
end of 2020, UniCredit S.p.A. completed the disposal of about 11.4% of the share capital of Banca d’Italia for about €854 million, of which about
€108 million in 2020 (equal to about 1.5%), thus reducing its shareholding to 10.7% (carrying value equal to about €805 million).
The disposal process is the result of a capital increase carried out by Banca d’Italia in 2013 when, in order to facilitate the redistribution of shares, a
limit of 3% was introduced in respect of holding shares: after an interim period of no more than 36 months, no economic rights were applicable to
shares exceeding the above limit.
During the last years, the shareholders with excess shares started the disposal process, finalising sales for more than 35% of Banca d’Italia total
capital. The carrying value as at 31 December 2020, in line with the figure at the end of the previous year and the outcome of the measurement
conducted by the committee of high-level experts on behalf of Banca d’Italia at the time of the capital increase, is supported by the price
consideration of the transactions that took place since 2015. The relevant measurement was therefore confirmed as Level 2 in the fair value
classification.
With regard to regulatory treatment as at 31 December 2020, the value of the investment, measured at fair value, is given a weighting of 100% (in
accordance with article 133 “Exposures in Equity Instruments” of the CRR).

The fair value of impaired loans was estimated by considering that the realizable value expressed by the net book value is the best estimate of the
future expected cash flows discounted at the valuation date, further adjusted to incorporate, when available, a premium derived from significant
market’s transaction for similar instruments. According to this assumption, impaired loans were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and receivables with customers are not managed on the basis of their fair value, which is only shown in order to meet disclosure
requirements. Fair value measurements have been classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflection the observability of the valuations input.
For further information see the paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the
accounts Part A - Accounting policies.
It should be noted that the decreases in loans and advances to customers impaired (Stage 3) is mainly attributable to the disposal transactions
performed during the period.
It should be noted that during the period, the sales performed out of Item “40. Financial assets at amortised cost” have been non-significant being
below the threshold established internally.
The item “2.2 Other debt securities" include securities related to securitisation transactions shown in the following table.

Valuation of investment in subsidiaries
The investments are individually tested for impairment in accordance with the provisions of IAS36. When the conditions provided for therein apply,
their recovery value is determined, meant as the higher of their "fair value" and "value in use" (the latter determined by discounting the cash flows at
a rate that takes account of the current market rates and the specific risks of the asset or using other commonly accepted valuation criteria and
methods suitable for the correct valuation of the investment). If the recovery value is lower than the carrying amount, the latter is consequently
reduced by allocating the corresponding impairment loss to the income statement.
On the basis of the above impairment loss has been recognised in subsidiaries, including: UniCredit Bank AG (-€3,972 million, of which -€2,838
million booked in the first half of 2020 essentially arising from the distribution by the subsidiary of an extraordinary dividend of €2,500 million),
UniCredit Bank Austria Credistanstalt AG (-€404 million), UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. (-€483 million), UniCredit Bank Ireland Plc (-€36 million),
UniCredit Turn Around Management Cee Gmbh (-€18 million), UniCredit Subito Casa S.p.A. (-€2 million), UniCredit International Luxembourg S.A.
(-€2 million). Further, some write-ups have been recognised, including: Cordusio SIM S.p.A. (+€42 million), Pioneer Alternative Investments
Management Ltd (+€31 million).
The item Equity investments is equal to €33,725 million of which €1,325 million related to investments in associates and €32,400 million related to
investments in subsidiaries.
In accordance with the IAS27 principle these investments are held at cost net of impairment losses determined in compliance with the IAS36
principle. According to this International Accounting Standard, equity investments must be subject to an impairment test whenever there is objective
evidence that events have taken place which may have decreased their value. According to the relevant standard, the impairment test shall be
carried out by comparing the carrying amount of each equity investments with its recoverable amount. If the latter value is found to be lower than the
carrying amount an impairment must be recognised. On the contrary, should the recoverable amount be found to be higher than the carrying
amount, the latter cannot be modified unless an impairment was recognised in previous periods. In this case, a reversal of previous impairment must
be recognised for the difference between the recoverable amount and carrying amount and the reversal cannot exceed impairment recognised in
previous periods.
With reference to investments in subsidiaries, it should be noted that the recoverable amount is generally determined through the discounting of
future cash flows at an appropriate discount rate as explained in the section “Estimating cash flows to determine the value in use of investments in
subsidiaries”.
584 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
For some investments, the future cash flows expected to be received from the subsidiary are not deemed to be appropriate for the computation of
the recoverable amount, generally due to the fact that their contribution to Group profitability is not expected to take place through the distribution of
dividends but rather through the provision of specific services to other companies in the Group with the aim of reducing the costs that these
companies incur into in order to perform their business. In cases such as these the recoverable amount has been generally determined based on
the net equity of the investment.
On 31 December 2020 impairment losses for €4,839 million were recognised on investments in subsidiaries, to which are added for the sake of
completeness, €25 million of additional net value adjustments on equity investments classified under Non-current assets and asset groups held for
sale at 31 December 2020.
With reference to investments in associates impairment losses for €0.8 million were recognised.
Estimating cash flows to determine the value in use of investments in subsidiaries
Projections
The set of projections employed for the impairment test as of 31 December 2020 was broadened to take into account the indications part of the
Communication from the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) which requires issuers, as part of reporting activities and to take into
account the significant volatility and uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic, to consider alternative scenarios for the valuation of items whose
sustainability depends on future forecasts. To this purpose two scenarios were prepared:
• “base” scenario based on the financial forecasts (Net Profit and RWA) underlying the update of the 2021 Budget, approved by the Board of
Directors (BoD) in the 13 January 2021 meeting, and the projections for 2022 and 2023 presented to the BoD on the same date;
• “downturn” scenario less favourable than the “base” scenario, reflecting lowered 2021-2023 macroeconomic forecasts to take into account the
higher risks part of the current uncertain context
For a description of the assumptions underlying the “base” and “downturn” scenarios refer to Part A - Accounting policies, Section 2 - General
preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
Impairment test model
The calculation of the value in use for impairment testing purposes was carried out using a Discounted Cash Flow model (DCF). The free cash flows
to equity were determined by subtracting from Net Profit (gross of minority interests) the annual capital requirement generated by changes in risk-
weighted assets (RWA). The capital requirement is defined as the level of capitalisation that the Group aims to achieve in the long term, also in light
of the minimum regulatory capital requirements currently in place.
The Discounted Cash Flow model employed is based on three stages with an explicit forecast period, an intermediate period and a “terminal value”.
Due to the employment of the two scenarios described above the model was set-up in different ways in the various stages.
PERIOD
Explicit forecast (2021 - 2023)
Intermediate (2024 - 2028)
"Terminal value"
"BASE" SCENARIO
“DOWNTURN” SCENARIO
2021 Budget and 2022-2023 projections.
Cash-flow projections extrapolated by applying, from the
explicit forecast period (2023), growth rates converging to
that of the “terminal value”.
The application of an intermediate period aims to allow a
normalisation in the nominal growth rate of Net Profit and
RWA before their convergence to terminal value, since the
Group operates in different geographical areas and
business segments and these are characterised by
different risk profiles and growth prospects.
For the subsidiaries in Western Europe the growth rates
for the intermediate period are defined considering a
conservative cap.
Derived through a nominal growth rate of 2% for all CGUs.
The average growth rate of real GDP in the Eurozone from
1999 to 2019 was 1.4%. The nominal rate of 2%,
corresponding to approximately 0% in real terms, was
chosen for cautionary reasons.
Financial forecast derived from the macroeconomic
scenario underlying the “downturn” scenario.
Cash-flow projections derived by looking at the 2023
difference between the “base” and “downturn” scenarios
and progressively reducing this difference through a linear
convergence so that the Net Profit and RWA of the two
scenarios coincide in 2028.
Derived by applying a nominal growth rate of 2% and
coinciding, by construction, with the “terminal value” found
in the “base” scenario.

Discount rates of cash flows and regulatory capital targets
Future financial flows were discounted using an estimate of the discount rate incorporating in the cost of equity the various risk factors linked to each
business sector. This discount rate is a nominal rate, net of taxes.
In particular, the cost of equity for each subsidiary is assessed with a through the cycle approach (i.e., six years average) as the sum of the following
items:
• Risk Free Rate: equal to the yield of the benchmark government bond of the reference country (local currency approach, maturity: 10 years);
• Equity Risk Premium: calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model according to which the Equity Risk Premium can be derived as the product
of the following items:
- UniCredit Beta (β): measures the sensitivity of UniCredit shares to variations in the reference market;
- Market Risk Premium: estimated by Professor Damodaran as the difference between the return of US stock and bond markets since 1928
(geometric mean).
It is worth mentioning that the β used for subsidiaries whose business is in part ascribable to the CIB division has been increased (based on peers’
analysis) to reflect the higher intrinsic risk of investment banking vis à vis standard commercial banking activity.
The discount rates used in the two scenarios are the same.
A further parameter used to determine the initial allocated capital and its evolution over time is the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio target. A target
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio coherent with the Group target was employed for all subsidiaries.
Results of the impairment test
The results of the two scenarios were weighted differently to reflect their different probability of taking place. In particular, the results from the “base”
scenario, considered the most probable scenario, were weighted at 60% while the “downturn” scenario was weighted at 40%.
The investment in subsidiaries impairment test as of 31 December 2020 led, overall, to an impairment for €4,853 million. The table below shows the
result of the test for the main subsidiaries involved with carrying value before the test above €1 billion.

1. The carrying value reported for 31 December 2019 has been adjusted to take into account the capital increase carried out in December 2020.
It must be underlined that the parameters and information used to verify the recoverability of carrying values (in particular the expected cash flows
for the various subsidiaries, and the discount rates applied) are significantly influenced by the macroeconomic and market situation, which may be
subject to changes which are not currently predictable. In the coming reporting periods the effect of such changes, alongside potential changes in
corporate strategies, could therefore lead to a review of the estimated cash flows of the various subsidiaries and of the assumptions on the main
financial parameters (discount rates, expected growth rates, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, etc.) and these could impact the results of future
impairment tests.

Sensitivity analysis
Following the employment of two scenarios for the impairment test of investments in subsidiaries as of 31 December 2020, an analysis on the
sensitivity of the test result to changes in the weights of the two scenarios has been carried out. The results of this analysis for subsidiaries with
carrying value before the test above €1 billion are reported below.

Deferred tax assets deriving from Law No.214/2011
The item includes:
• the amount of €3,072 million related to deferred tax assets (for IRES and IRAP) due to the tax release of the value of the equity investments
pursuant to art.23 of D.L. No.98/2011;
• the amount of €1,249 million related to deferred tax assets (for IRES and IRAP) arising from goodwill tax redemption;
• the amount of €3,034 million related to deferred tax assets (for IRES and IRAP) arising from impairment losses on receivables.
As at 31 December 2020, the total amount of deferred tax assets convertible into tax credits is equal to €7,355 million of which €6,440 million for
IRES and €915 million for IRAP.
Deferred tax assets for the carry-forward of unused tax losses - DTA TLCF
The possibility to book DTA TLCF, against future taxable income, implies an estimate of future economic results; this estimate is based on the
execution of a sustainability test, in accordance with the provisions of IAS12.
With reference to the Italian group tax perimeter, starting from 31 December 2019, the sustainability test for both IRES and IRAP has been
developed on a 10 years-time length, for testing the DTA on TLCF, deemed coherent to assess sufficient taxable base generation to be used for the
offsetting of said deferred taxes.

Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
Considered the 10-years time horizon and in order to mitigate the effects of the uncertainty inherent the adoption of an approach based also on
estimates beyond the plan horizon, it has been adopted a model incorporating a probabilistic component; in particular, in line with ESMA
recommendation issued on 15 July 2019, the sustainability test for the determination of future taxable incomes envisages:
• a deterministic approach for the years for which official projections are available (i.e. the period 2021-2023); with this regard, the model has been
updated with 2021 budget projection, approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) during the meeting held on 13 January 2021, and with 2022-2023
projections submitted to the BoD during the same session;
• a statistical approach for the years beyond official projections (2024-2030); this approach is based on the statistical generation of multiple
scenarios that lead to generate projections of future taxable income in the test time horizon. As far as possible, objective criteria and realistic
assumptions have been adopted to define the values of this projection, such as:
- long-term annual growth rate set at 2%, which incorporates an assumption of growth at 0% in real terms, as 2% represents the target rate of
price stability56;
- nominal future growth rate with 4% cap applied to pre-tax profit for the first year of projections beyond the deterministic period, which leads to
consistency with the long-term annual growth rate of 2% through a linear convergence;
- a volatility parameter calculated on the historical series since 2007 of the pre-tax results of a significant sample of european banks (data from
European Central Bank Statistical Datawarehouse).
Furthermore, in line with IAS12, as well as taking into consideration the ESMA document, a confidence interval has been selected which reflects a
probability greater than 50% in relation to the expected tax incomes.
Given the current macroeconomic scenario characterised by a high level of uncertainty (for a detailed description of such items of uncertainty, refer
to the analysis available in Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General, Section 2 - General preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated
accounts) ESMA in the publication dated 28 October 2020 recommends greater caution in the processing of the underlying estimates, requiring also
to consider the adoption of multiple scenarios; in consideration of this, two scenarios were considered in projections used for DTA sustainability test
as well as for goodwill impairment test:
• “base” coherent with 2021 budget, approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) during the meeting held on 13 January 2021, and with 2022-2023
projections submitted to the BoD during the same session;
• “downturn”, deteriorated compared to the base scenario, built with macroeconomic forecasts 2021-2023 revised downturn to factor in greater risks
inherent in the current contest of uncertainty; projections after 2023 envisage a progressive convergence to the base projections reached in 2028;
subsequently, the downturn scenario is aligned with the base one.
For a description of main assumptions behind “base” and “downturn” scenarios, please refer to Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General, Section 2 -
General preparation criteria of the Notes to the consolidated accounts.
In addition, the volatility parameter behind the statistic model has been updated from 5.0 of 2019 to 8.1 of 2020; such an increase derives from the
update up to the first half 2020 of the historical series of pre-tax results of European banks included in the statistic sample; in details, data referred to
full year 2020 were included in the historical series by linearly annualizing first half 2020 results, thus embedding the recent higher variability of
European banks economic results, affected by Covid-19 pandemic.
The final results of the test derive from the weighting of the results of both scenarios with a greater weigh, equal to 60%, for the base scenario.
Consistently with the approach outlined, the sustainability test, performed on the Italian group tax perimeter applying the current ordinary tax rate of
24% and on UniCredit S.p.A. applying the additional tax rate of 3.5%, determined the sustainability of DTA TLCF as at 31 December 2020 for a total
amount of €677 million, of which: (i) €11 million (of which €4 million related to 2020) recognised through Income statement and (ii) €666 million (of
which €127 million booked in 2020) recognised through Net equity as they are attributable to transactions recognised through Net equity according
to international accounting standards.
With reference to the test results derived from statistical approach, adopted, as previously stated, in the years of projections for which a plan is not
available, a sensitivity analysis was run on volatility parameter and on confidence interval; the outcomes of such analysis are the following:
• 0.1 increase of volatility parameter would originate a lower amount of sustainable DTA TLCF equal to €34 million;
• 1% increase of confidence interval would result in €24 million lower amount of sustainable DTA TLCF.
Moreover, regarding the weight assigned to the different scenarios adopted (“base” and “downturn”), the test points out that a 5% increase in “base”
scenario weight (meaning 65% weight for “base” and 35% “downturn”) would result in a €18 million increase of sustainable DTA TLCF; conversely, a
5% lower weight for “base” scenario (meaning 55% weight for “base” and 45% “downturn”) would determine a €18 million decrease of sustainable
DTA TLCF.

Further risk elements related to this approach are linked to a possible significant reduction in the tax rate, as well as to any time limits on the
recovery of tax assets that may be introduced by changes in the current legislation. However, it is to be kept in mind the substantial invariance of the
DTA TLCF for the purposes of the impact on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, given their regulatory treatment.
The amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses not booked is equal to €3,392 million of which (i) €2,938 million (€2,834 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €104 million from Net equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary tax rate
and (ii) €454 million (€439 million deriving from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €15 million from Net equity components)
related to the 3.5% IRES additional tax rate.
Deferred tax assets from temporary differences
With particular reference to deferred tax assets due to temporary differences (€1,500 million booked before the offset against the corresponding
deferred tax liabilities), the recoverable test caused the not sustainability for €170 million, of which: (i) €163 million recognised through Income
statement and (ii) €7 million recognised through Net equity as originated from transactions accrued to Net equity due to IFRS principles. Since, from
the sustainability test performed in 2019, were still remaining €159 million not sustainable temporary differences, the amount to be accounted after
the test performed in 2020 is €11 million, of which: (i) €7 million through Income statement and (ii) €4 million through Net equity.
Deferred tax assets on Income statement have had during the year a decrease mainly due to:(i) a decrease of €770 million for IRES and (ii) an
increase of €14 million for IRAP, due to the normal dynamic in offsetting against current taxes and to the results of sustainability test as above
mentioned.

10.7 Other information
Italian group tax
The Italian group tax regime was introduced in Italy by Legislative Decree of 12 December 2003 No.344, that implemented the Italian corporate
income tax (IRES) reform.
The regime of national Tax Group is optional, with a duration bound for three financial years and certain conditions (controlling relationship, same
operating period) to be met.
The participation to the Tax Group regime allows the offsetting between taxable income and tax losses generated by the companies participating to
such regime.
For financial year 2020 the following legal entities adhered to the Italian group tax with the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.:
• UniCredit Factoring - Milan;
• UniCredit Leasing - Milan;
• Cordusio Fiduciaria - Milan;
• UniCredit Services (ex UniCredit Business Integrated Solutions) - Milan;
• Cordusio SIM - Milan;
• UniCredit Bank AG - Milan Branch;
• UniCredit Leased Asset Management S.p.A.
The number of legal entities participating to the Italian group tax increased compared to year 2019 due to the entry of UniCredit Leased Asset
Management S.p.A.
Deferred tax assets due to tax losses carried forward
Deferred tax assets on tax loss, equal to €1,401 million for taxes could have been registered in 2020, in addition to the residual tax losses carried
forward for the period 2016-2019 for a total amount of €4,069 million of which €3,284 million as deferred tax assets in Income statement and €785
million as deferred tax assets in Net equity. Following the sustainability test, also considering that the Tax Group shows a tax credit, an amount of
deferred tax assets limited to €677 million (of which €11 million in Income statement and €666 million in Net Assets) can be registered.
The amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses not booked is equal to €3,392 million of which (i) €2,938 million (€2,834 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €104 million from Net equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary tax rate
and (ii) €454million (€439 million deriving from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €15 million from Net equity components)
related to the 3.5% IRES additional tax rate.
In respect of foreign branches, relevant tax losses not utilised are equal to €7,570 million, due to start-up expenses or other operating costs. These
tax losses can only be used against the taxable income at the level of permanent establishment of Wien and of each single branch for taxes due in
the relevant country of establishment.

It should be noted that, as at 31 December 2020, among the "Other items" are recognised, at their fair value of €73 million, the precious stones
(diamonds) repurchased from customers within the "customer care" initiative promoted by the Bank regarding this topic.
Item “Accrued income and prepaid expenses other than capitalised income” includes the contract assets recognised in accordance with IFRS15.
In this context accrued income represents the portion of the performance obligation already satisfied through the services provided by the Bank and
that will be settled in the future periods in accordance with contractual provisions.
The aggregate amount of revenues from services to customers related to the portion of performance obligations not yet satisfied, and therefore not
represented in the table above, is of a non-material amount and relates to performance obligations expected to be satisfied by the following year end
reporting date.
It should be noted that during the period there have not been significant changes in the accrued income and prepaid expenses not included in the
carrying amount of the relevant financial assets.

Deposits from customers are not carried at fair value, which is presented solely for the purpose of fulfilling financial disclosure requirements.
Fair value measurements have been classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflecting the observability of the valuations input. The fair value of
demand items was estimated to be equal to their net book value by exercising the option provided for by IFRS7.29. According to this assumption,
demand items were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. For further information see the paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value” of the

Item “Accrued expenses and deferred income other than those to be capitalised for the financial liabilities” includes the contract liabilities recognised
in accordance with IFRS15.
In this context, deferred income represents the portion of performance obligations not yet satisfied through the services provided by the Bank but
already settled during the period or in previous periods.
The majority of this amount relates to performance obligations expected to be satisfied by the following year end reporting date.
For information about the changes in deferred income and accrued expenses occurred in the period refer to the paragraph “Section 12 - Other
assets - Item 120” of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part B - Balance sheet - Assets.

Section 9 - Provision for employee severance pay - Item 90
The “TFR” provision for Italy-based employee benefits is to be constructed as a “post-retirement defined benefit”. It is therefore recognised on the
basis of an actuarial estimate of the amount of benefit accrued by employees discounted to present value. This benefit is calculated by an external
actuary using “projected unit credit” method (see the paragraph “Part A.2 - Main items of the accounts” of the Company financial statements of
UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts Part A - Accounting policies).

The financial duration of the commitments is 9 years; the balance of the negative Revaluation reserves net of tax changed from -€118 million at 31
December 2019 to -€129 million at 31 December 2020.
A change of -25 basis points in the discount rate would result in an increase in liabilities of €13 million (+2.28%); an equivalent increase in the rate,
on the other hand, would result in a reduction in liabilities of €12 million (-2.22%). A change of -25 basis points in the inflation rate would result in a
reduction in liabilities of €8 million (-1.37%); an equivalent increase in the rate, on the other hand, would result in an increase in liabilities of €8
million (+1.39%).

10.4 Provisions on other commitments and other issued guarantees
No data to be disclosed.
10.5 Pensions and other post-retirement defined-benefit obligations
1. Pensions and other post-retirement benefit obligations
In respect of Pensions and other post-retirement benefit obligations, the Annexes provide details of Internal Fund movements and include
statements of changes in funds with segregated assets pursuant to Art.2117 of the Italian Civil Code, as well as explanatory notes thereto.
According to IAS19, obligations arising from defined-benefit plans are determined using the “projected unit credit” method, while segregated assets
are measured at fair value. The balance sheet obligation is the result of the deficit/surplus (i.e. the difference between obligations and assets) net of
any impacts of the asset ceiling; actuarial gains and losses are recognised in shareholders’ equity and shown in a specific item of revaluation
reserves in the financial year in which they are recorded.
The actuarial assumptions used to determine obligations vary from country to country and from plan to plan; the discount rate is determined,
depending on the currency of denomination of the commitments and the maturity of the liability, by reference to market yields at the balance sheet
date on a basket of “high quality corporate bonds”.
In light of evolving common interpretation about “high quality corporate bonds” identification and persisting interest rates decreasing trend, UCG
refined its Discount Rate setting methodology by referencing AA rated corporate bonds basket. In addition, a Nelson Siegel methodology has been
applied in modelling the yield-curve expressed by the basket of securities (adjusted above the last liquid point - defined as the average maturity of
the last 5 available bonds - relying on the slope of a Treasury curve build with AA Govies).
The balance of the negative Revaluation reserves net of deferred taxes changed from -€104 million at 31 December 2019 to -€106 million at 31
December 2020.

Despite the timely number of employees shows a decrease in the period compared to the previous year (from 35,707 at 31 December 2019 to
33,842 at 31 December 2020) the average number of employees shows a moderate growth. The latter trend is mainly attributable to the decrease of
the heads concentrated in the last months of the year 2020 as a result of the exits for Resctructuring Plan as well as the dynamics of the seconded
employees.

The net balance in the sub-item Leaving Incentives both for 2020 and for 2019 is mainly determined by the effects envisaged by the Strategic Plan
Team 23.
It shall be noted that the Strategic Plan Team 23, announced to the market on 3 December 2019, foresees the reduction of about 8.000 Full Time
Equivalents (FTEs) at Group level in the plan horizon. As at 31 December 2019 in Italy the restructuring plan was not announced to the affected
parties neither its implementation was started. Therefore, no valid expectation about the fulfilment of a constructive obligation was raised.
During the first quarter 2020, the “Lettera di avvio procedura” (Letter for starting the procedure) was sent to Trade Unions in Italy, specifically on 10
February 2020, thus officially starting negotiations.
Subsequently, several dedicated meetings were held in February and March; as final and decisive action, a specific communication to the Trade
Unions announcing the main features of the restructuring plan was issued on 31 March 2020. On these basis, the associated staff expenses were
recognised as conditions required by IAS37 were met. Starting from this date the accession process to the plan by the identified employees was
started.
It should be noted that these expenses are initially recognised as provisions for risks and charges and are then reclassified to “Other Liabilities”
when a specific debt toward the employees arises.

Section 19 - Tax expenses (income) for the period from continuing operations - Item 270
Taxes on income are accounted in accordance with IAS12. The tax charge consists of current and deferred taxes, mainly determined in accordance
with the applicable provisions on IRES and IRAP, and CFC separate taxation (Controlled Foreign Companies, i.e., foreign subsidiaries taxed on a
transparency basis where specific conditions are met).
IRES is calculated by making specific upward or downward adjustments to the current year profit or loss as resulting from the income statement for
determining the taxable income. These tax adjustments are made as required by the provisions of the Italian Income Tax Code (TUIR), in relation to
the non-deductibility of certain expenses or the non-taxability of certain revenues.
The IRES tax rate applied to the taxable income is 24%. An additional surcharge of 3.5% applies to banks and financial companies.
The above-mentioned tax adjustments may be “permanent” or “temporary”.
The “permanent” adjustments refer to expenses/revenues that are totally or partially non-deductible/non-taxable.
The “temporary” adjustments, on the other hand, relate to expenses or revenues whose deductibility or tax-ability is deferred to future tax periods on
the occurrence of particular events, or distributed in equal quotas over a predefined number of years.
The presence of “temporary” adjustments leads to the recognition of deferred tax assets (for costs to be deducted) or deferred tax liabilities (for
revenues to be taxed).
The purpose of the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities is to reconcile in the financial statements the different tax period of relevance
established by the TUIR compared to the accounting accrual principle.
For IRES purposes, subject to a specific election to be submitted to the “Agenzia delle Entrate”, this tax can be paid on a Tax Group level rather
than on an individual basis.
All Italian companies that meet the control pre-requisite can adhere to the Tax Group regime, in order to compute the tax payment on a unique
taxable base consisting of the algebraic sum of the taxable amounts of all the companies adhering to the Tax Group regime.
The tax rate applicable to the Tax Group is 24%.
For IRES purposes, is stated a separate taxation “for transparency” on incomes, calculated according to the provisions of the Italian Income Tax
Code (TUIR), of the foreign direct and indirect subsidiaries (so-called CFCs: Controlled Foreign Companies) established in countries with a nominal
or effective tax rate which is significantly below the Italian corresponding one. The applicable tax rate is 27.5%.
IRAP is levied on productive activities and relevant taxable base corresponds to the algebraic sum of certain items of the income statement as
specifically identified by Legislative Decree No.446 of 1997, which also states further upward and downward adjustments to be made (other than
IRES ones). Law of 23 December 2014 No.190 (2015 Stability Law) establishes, starting from 2015, that personnel costs for employees with
permanent employment contracts are fully deductible from IRAP in addition to the deductions already established by the so-called "cuneo fiscale".
Furthermore, in 2016 the full deductibility of the loan loss provisions in the year of accrual in the financial statements was introduced following the
entry into force of Art.16 of Law Decree 27 June 2015 No.83.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 635
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part C - Income statement
The tax is calculated by apportioning the overall value of production among the various administrative regions where the productive activities are
carried out (for banks the apportionment is made on the basis of the regional distribution of customer’s deposits) and applying the respective
regional rate to each of the individual portions identified. A national rate of 4.65% is established, to which each region can autonomously add a
surcharge up to 0.92%, with an overall theoretical rate of 5.57% (plus a further rate of 0.15% for regions with a deficit in spending on the local
welfare sector).
During the year 2020, many provisions were introduced to face the economic difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Such provisions,
however, mainly concerned non-banking or smaller companies; the only relevant provision of interest to UniCredit was contained in Legislative
Decree 17 March 2020 No.18, and the subsequent amendment contained in Law 13 October 2020 No.126, which allows the transformation of tax
losses carried forward into tax credits against the disposal to companies outside the Group occurred within 31 December 2020 of "non-performing"
loans.
The rules identifies as “non performing” the loans for which, at the time of the disposal, the non-repayment has continued for more than 90 days with
respect to the expiry date, and states a maximum benefit available in terms of taxable base equal to €400 million (equivalent to 20% of a maximum
total of €2,000 million in terms of nominal amount of loans transferred) and, consequently, equal to €110 million in terms of taxes at a rate of 27.5%.
Notwithstanding the rules states strict requirements of applicability, UniCredit S.p.A. was able to benefit for the entire amount.
As the transformation rule is applicable to tax losses carried forward notwithstanding a DTA could not have been registered due to failure to meet
the sustainability test, a benefit in the Income statement for the whole amount of €110 million can be accounted.
Taxes on income for 2020 reports a positive amount of €309 million, showing an increase in comparison with the negative amount of €299 million in
2019.
Current IRES, with an accounting loss recorded, shows a tax loss of €5,093 million, mainly due to non-taxable positive items (dividends) and non-
tax-relevant items deriving from valuation or realisation events on participations.
Deferred tax assets on tax loss, equal to €1,401 million for taxes could have been registered in 2020, in addition to the residual tax losses carried
forward for the period 2016-2019 for a total amount of €4,069 million of which €3,284 million as deferred tax assets in Income statement and €785
million as deferred tax assets in Net equity. Following the sustainability test, also considering that the Tax Group shows a tax credit, an amount of
deferred tax assets limited to €677 million (of which €11 million in Income statement and €666 million in Net Assets) can be registered.
The amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses not booked is equal to €3,392 million of which (i) €2,938 million (€2,834 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the income statement and €104 million from shareholders’ equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary
tax rate and (ii) €454 million (€439 million deriving from accounting items originated in the income statement and €15 million from shareholders’
equity components) related to the 3.5% IRES additional tax rate.
Current IRAP tax accrual shows a negative tax base, partly caused by the reversal of deferred tax assets transformable into tax credits for which a
tax credit is generated, as per art.1 par. 56-bis of Law Decree 29 December 2010, No.225 and subsequent amendments, for €33 million, which will
be recognised in the tax return for 2020. The tax due is equal to zero and a tax loss that can be carried forward is not generated as it is not provided
for by the provisions governing IRAP.
The “ACE” (“Aiuto alla crescita economica”) benefit for 2020 is currently estimated in €23 million, fairly in line with the one of the previous year.
Following the interviews that took place with “Agenzia delle Entrate”, in particular for what concerns the anti-avoidance rules on the increase of intra-
Group loans, a further benefit of €46 million for the 2018 tax year and of €33 million for the 2019 tax year were obtained. An analogous tax ruling for
an amount still to be defined will be presented in 2021 to “Agenzia delle Entrate” also for the year 2020.
During the year 2020, owing to the negative taxable basis for IRES and the availability of tax losses carried forward determining an indefinite
postponement of the monetization of the ACE benefit, as provided for by Law Decree 24 June 2014, No.91 (converted with modification by Law 11
August 2014, No.116), a transformation into an IRAP tax credit of the amount of ACE benefit for 2018 for €46 million recognised in outcome of the
tax ruling above mentioned and the ACE 2019 not yet used for €58 million was carried out, as already done for the unused ACE benefit pertaining to
the financial years 2016, 2017 and 2018, before tax ruling, so generating an extraordinary revenue in Income statement for a total amount of €124
million, considering that the same amount was impaired being not sustainable. The residual credit still to be used for IRAP purposes amounts to
€138 million.
The IRAP credit will be used over 5 years in equal installments as provided for by the relevant law, with the possibility to carry forward any unused
amount upon the fifth year.
The 2019 financial year closed with a loss in the Income statement of €555 million; therefore, there were the conditions for carrying out a new
transformation of deferred tax assets (DTAs) into tax credits pursuant to art.2, par.55 of the Law Decree of 29 December 2010 No.225, converted
into Law No.10/2011.
636 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part C - Income statement
The amount of the conversion carried out is equal to €87 million.
Instead the 2020 financial year closed with a loss in Income statement of €2,732 million; therefore, the conditions to proceed with a new
transformation of deferred tax assets into tax credits pursuant to the aforementioned regulation are verified. In 2021, following the approval of the
financial statements for the year 2020 by the Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A., deferred tax assets, for IRES and IRAP, amounting to €385
million will be converted into tax credits.
In order to preserve for the future the regime of conversion of DTAs into tax credits, and in order to overcome the issues raised by the European
Commission in connection to the application of State Aid rules, Art.11 of DL 3 May 2016 No.59 (so-called "Banks Decree" - converted into Law 30
June 2016 No.119), introduced the possibility, starting from 2016 since 2030, to elect for the payment of an annual fee equal to 1.5% levied on an
aggregate amount deriving from the difference between:
• the increase in convertible DTAs recognised at the end of the fiscal year and the convertible DTA existing as at 31 December 2007, for IRES tax,
and as at 31 December 2012 for IRAP tax, taking into account the amounts already converted into tax credits;
• taxes:
- IRES paid by Tax Group starting from 1 January 2008;
- IRAP paid starting from 1 January 2013 by Legal Entities included in Tax Group with convertible DTAs;
- substitute taxes that generated convertible DTAs.
The whole fee due for the 2020 financial year has been paid on 26 June 2020 by UniCredit (as required by law) for a total amount €111.7 million, of
which €107.1 million related to UniCredit itself, €4.3 million to UniCredit Leasing and €0.30 million to UniCredit Factoring.

3. Non-performing credit exposures
3.1 Management strategies and policies
In order to ensure a homogeneous approach in the classification of credit exposures for regulatory and reporting purposes, UniCredit has defined
group-wide guidelines for the classification of non-performing exposures that refer to the principles reported in the Implementing Technical
Standards issued by the Authority European Banking in 2014. With regard to this definition (which includes the concept of "default" ruled by Art.178
EU Regulation No.575/2013 and the "impaired" definition reported in accounting standard IFRS9) at operative level UniCredit group has pursued a
substantial alignment between the three definitions. Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Banca d’Italia Circular 272/2008, credit
exposures of each group entity must be classified in one of the following risk classes:
• past-due and/or overdue exposures: problematic exposures that are more than 90 days past due on any material obligation (the latter assessed in
line with article 178 (2d) of EU Regulation No.575/2013 and the Technical Standards of the EBA);
• unlikely to pay: the classification in this category is the result of the judgment of the bank about the unlikeliness, without recourse to actions such
as realising collaterals, that the obligor will pay in full (principal and/or interest) its credit obligations. This assessment should be carried out
independently of the presence of any (or rate) past due and unpaid amount;
• bad loans: exposures to borrowers in a state of insolvency (even when not recognised in a court of law) or in an essentially similar situation,
regardless of any loss forecasts made by the bank.
In the non-performing credit exposures management, UniCredit S.p.A. adopts certain strategies that operationally define the activities necessary to
achieve the targets defined yearly.
The aforementioned strategies concerning impaired loans include:
• an effective internal restructuring activity, supported by qualified resources with specific skills dedicated to the management of loans classified as
unlikely to pay; within these activities, ad-hoc approaches are then envisaged for positions considered strategic or referring to the Corporate and
Real Estate segment;
• proactive portfolio management through judicial and extra-judicial procedures managed by internal Workout professionals or assigned to external
agencies specialised in credit recovery;
• the recourse of alternative recovery strategies (which UniCredit was one of the first banks to use) based on formalised partnerships aimed at
managing positions in the industrial or Real Estate sector;
• disposal of impaired loans as a further strategy for internal recovery both for individual positions and for portfolios of impaired loans, already
classified as bad loans and unlikely to pay.
These strategies reflect the main levers for reducing the amount of impaired loans and have led to an important result during 2020, highlighting:
• write-off for €1,443 million (174% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year);
• recoveries for €1,731 million (250% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year);
• disposals for €3,678 million (121% of the total planned in Team 23 for 2020 year).
The decrease amount of the stock of impaired loans to Bank customers was therefore in line with the reduction targets set in the Team 20 plan for
the year 2020, achieving an improvement in asset quality. This result was possible thanks also to an acceleration of the reduction times of the "Non
Core" portfolio. Therefore, the UniCredit group can confirm the complete closure of its Non Core legacy by 2021, as foreseen in the new plan “Team
23” thanks also to the activation of a coordinated set of levers aimed at reducing the stock.

Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Regarding the management strategies and policies in force for the UniCredit group reference is made to the paragraph “3.1 Management strategies
and policies” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and
hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 3. Non-performing credit exposures which is herewith quoted entirely.
3.2 Write-off
UniCredit group guidelines for write-offs on financial assets provides that whenever a loan is deemed to be uncollectable/unrecoverable it needs to
be identified at the earliest possible opportunity and properly dealt with in accordance with financial regulations. Write-offs can relate to a financial
asset in its entirety, or to a portion of it.
In assessing the recoverability of Non-Performing Exposures (NPE) and in determining internal NPE write-off approaches, the following cases, in
particular, are taken into account:
• exposures with prolonged arrears: it is assessed the recoverability of an exposure that presents arrears for a prolonged period of time. If, following
this assessment, an exposure or part of an exposure is deemed as non-recoverable, it should be written-off in a timely manner, adopting different
thresholds predefined on the basis of the different portfolios;
• exposures under insolvency procedure: where the collateralisation of the exposure is low, legal expenses often absorb a significant portion of the
proceeds from the bankruptcy procedure and therefore estimated recoveries are expected to be very low;
• a partial write-off may be warranted where there are reasonable elements to demonstrate the debtor's inability to repay the full amount of the debt,
i.e. a significant level of debt, even following the implementation of a forbearance treatment and /or the execution of collateral.
Below a non-exhaustive list of hard evidences implying, with high likelihood, the not recoverability of the exposure, to be assessed, for the potential
(total or partial) write-off:
• the Bank cannot call the guarantor(s), or his assets are not sufficient for the recovery of the debtor’s exposures;
• negative outcome of the judicial and/or out-of-court initiatives with absence of other assets that can be called in the event of un-recoverability of
the debtor’s exposures;
• impossibility to initiate actions to recover credit;
• current insolvency procedure, from which the procedure itself states that the unsecured exposures will not have redress;
• loans not backed by mortgage security older than 3 years that have not registered repayments/ collections during the first 3 years after the NPE
classification;
• mortgage loans to private individuals with collaterals already executed or not recoverable (because of legal or administrative defects and if
execution is considered not economically viable), if they have been classified as Non-Performing for more than 7 years, or between 2 and 7 years
if the residual debt is less than €110,000.
Specifically, for UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter, write-offs on financial assets still subject to an enforcement procedure amount to €1,971 million as at 31
December 2020, of which partial write-offs amount to €1,600 million and total write-offs amount to €371 million. The amount of write-offs (both partial
and total) related to the 2020 financial year is €579 million. 2020 write-offs cannot be compared with write-offs amount reported in gross changes in
non-performing exposures, because the latter includes “debt forgiveness”.
3.3 Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
Reference is made to the paragraph “3.3 Acquired or originated impaired financial assets” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit
group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated
perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information, 3. Non-performing credit exposures, which is herewith quoted entirely.
4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and forborne exposures
Changes in existing financial instruments which determine a modification of contractual conditions might be the result of either:
• commercial initiatives, which may be specific for each customer or applied to portfolio of customers also as a result of dedicated initiatives
sponsored by public authorities or banking associations, or
• concessions granted in light of debtor’s financial difficulties (Forbearance).
Such changes are accounted on the basis of whether the modification is considered significant or not. In this regard, reference is made to the
Part A - A.2 - Main items of the accounts.
The concessions granted due to debtor’s financial difficulties, so called Forbearance initiatives, are usually considered not significant from an
accounting perspective.
4.1 Loan categorisation in the risk categories and forborne exposures
Reference is made to the paragraph “4.1 Loan categorization in the risk categories and forborne exposures” of the Consolidated financial statements
of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential

The reduction in impaired credit exposures is mainly due to the actions aimed at achieving the "rundown" of the "Non Core" portfolio, to be
completed by 2021, as defined in the 2016-2019 Strategic Plan (Transform 2019), confirmed and strengthened with the 2020-2023 Strategic Plan
(Team 23).

Aspects relating to the valuation of credit exposures as at 31 December 2020
At 31 December 2020, also taking into account the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the evaluation included some additional aspects compared
with previous years. In this regard, it is worth to note the valuations performed in order to:
• assess the increase in credit risk connected with the pandemic contest;
• include the effects connected with the new definition of default, according to the procedures referred to in the Consolidated financial statements of
UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential
consolidation, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information.
Moreover, also considering Covid-19 pandemic contest, it is necessary to highlight the valuations linked to the updating of the macro-economic
scenario and, with reference to impaired exposures (Stage 3), to the adoption of possible sales scenarios, whether the NPE strategy envisages
recovery also through their sale on the market. In this regard, in December 2020, the plan for the disposal of impaired loans was also revised, also
including credit exposures belonging to the “Core” portfolio.
For more details, including possible selling scenarios in the valuation of impaired exposures (Stage 3), refer to paragraph “Aspects relating to the
valuation of credit exposures as at 31 December 2020” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated
accounts Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies, Section 1 - Risks of the accounting consolidated perimeter, Quantitative information
which, for what relates specifically to UniCredit S.p.A., is herewith quoted entirely.

The table details on- and off-balance sheet credits granted to counterparties rated by external rating agencies, which provide brief assessments of
the creditworthiness of different classes of borrowers such as Sovereigns, Banks, Public-Sector Entities, Insurance Companies and (usually large)
Enterprises.
The table refers to classification of Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005 of Banca d’Italia (and subsequent amendments); then it provides, for
external ratings, 6 classes of creditworthiness.
Rating Agencies utilised to fill the table are: Moody’s, S&Ps and Fitch.
Where more than one rating agency is available, the most prudential rating is assigned.
Concerning the classification of credit exposure, of loan commitments and financial guarantees given based on internal and external ratings in force
for the UniCredit group is made to the paragraph of Part E - Notes to the consolidated accounts of UniCredit group - Information on risks and
hedging policies - Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter - 2.1 Credit risk - Quantitative information - A. Credit quality - A.2
Classification of credit exposure based on internal and external ratings - A.2.1 Regulatory consolidation - Breakdown of financial assets, loan
commitments and financial guarantees given by external rating classes (gross amounts) which is herewith quoted entirely.
The 30% of rated counterparties were investment grade (from Class 1 to Class 3), referring to highly-rated borrowers.
Unrated exposures, i.e. those with no external rating, were about 66% of the portfolio, due to the fact that a considerable proportion of borrowers
were private individuals or SMEs, which are not externally rated.

The table contains on-balance and off-balance sheet exposures grouped according to the counterparties’ internal rating.
Ratings are assigned to individual counterparties using internally-developed models included in their credit risk management processes.
The internal models validated by the regulators are both ‘Local’ and ‘Group-wide’ (e.g. for banks, multinationals and sovereigns).
The various rating scales of these models are mapped into a single Group master-scale of 9 classes (illustrated above) based on Probability of
Default (PD).

a) Amount book value (€ million)
b) Amount weighted value (€ million)

In compliance with Art.4.1 39 of Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (CRR), in case of exposures towards a group of connected clients formed by a
Central Government and other groups of connected clients, such exposure towards the Central Government is reported for each group of connected
clients when remitting regulatory reporting; despite the above mentioned regulatory approach, in both the amounts shown in letter a), b), and the
number in letter c) in the table above the exposure towards the Central Government assessed according to the above mentioned method is
considered only once.
It should be noted that deferred tax assets towards Italian Central Government were considered as fully exempted and, as a consequence, the
weighted amount reported is null.
C. Securitisation transactions
Qualitative information
In 2020 UniCredit S.p.A. carried out five new securitisation transactions, of which two traditional and three synthetic ones:
• Basket Bond Puglia – traditional;
• Sandokan 2 – traditional;
• ArtigianCredito Toscano – synthetic;
• Bond del Mezzogiorno 2 - SME Initiative – synthetic;
• EaSi MicroCredito 2 – synthetic.
Details of the transactions, traditional and synthetic, are set out in the tables enclosed in the “Annexes” to the Consolidated financial statements,
including also those carried out in previous financial years.
It should also be noted that "self-securitisations" and transactions in warehousing phase are not included in the quantitative tables of Part C, as
required by regulations.
Part of the portfolio are:
• own securitisation transactions, both traditional and synthetic, including also those traditional carried out by the Banks absorbed by UniCredit
S.p.A. in previous years, for a book value of €5,215 million as at 31 December 2020;
• other third-party securitisation exposures, for a book value of €35 million as at 31 December 2020.

Information on Sovereign exposures
It should be noted that, as a result of IFRS9 adoption since 1 January 2020, Sovereign debt securities have been classified in the new categories
specified by the standard in consideration of the business model followed and the related cash flow features (Solely Payment of Principal and
Interests - SPPI Test).
It should also be noted that during the year:
• no changes have been made to the business models adopted on the 1 January and, consequently, the sovereign debt securities have not been
subject to reclassification
• the changed market circumstances also suggested the adoption of a "held to collect" business model for new purchases of Italian sovereign debt
securities which, consequently, have to be measured at amortised cost subject to verification of the features of the related cash flows.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Information on trading book derivative instruments with customers
The business model governing OTC derivatives trading with customers provides for centralization of market risk in the CIB Division - Markets Area,
while credit risk is assumed by the Group company which, under the divisional or geographical segmentation model, manages the relevant
customer’s account.
The Group’s operational model provides for customer trading derivatives business to be carried on, as part of each subsidiary’s operational
independence:
• by the commercial banks and divisions that close transaction in OTC derivatives in order to provide non-institutional clients with products to
manage currency, interest-rate and price risk. Under these transactions, the commercial banks transfer their market risks to the CIB division by
means of equal and opposite contracts, retaining only the relevant counterparty risk. The commercial banks also place or collect orders on behalf
of others for investment products with embedded derivatives (e.g. structured bonds);
• by the CIB division operating with large corporate and financial institutions, in respect of which it assumes and manages both market and
counterparty risk;
• by CEE banks, which transact business directly with their customers.
The UniCredit group trades OTC derivatives on a wide range of underlying, e.g. interest rates, currency rates, share prices and indexes,
commodities (precious metals, base metals, petroleum and energy materials) and credit rights.
OTC derivatives offer considerable scope for personalization; new payoff profiles can be constructed by combining several OTC derivatives (for
example, a plain vanilla IRS with one or more plain vanilla or exotic options). The risk and the complexity of the structures obtained in this manner
depend on the respective characteristics of the components (reference parameters and indexation mechanisms) and the way in which they are
combined.
Credit and market risk arising from OTC derivatives business is controlled by the Chief Risk Officer competence line (CRO) in the Parent Company
and/or in the Division or subsidiary involved. This control is carried out by means of guidelines and policies covering risk management,
measurement and controls in terms of principles, rules and processes, as well as by setting VaR limits.
The business with non-institutional clients does not (usually) entail the use of margin calls, whereas with institutional counterparties (dealt with by the
CIB Division) recourse may be made to credit-risk mitigation (“CRM”) techniques, by using netting and/or collateral agreements.
Write-downs and write-backs of derivatives to take account of counterparty risk are determined in line with the procedure used to assess other credit
exposure, specifically:
• performing exposure to customers are mapped by deriving EAD (Exposure at Default) that take into account the Wrong Way Risk and measured
with PD (Probability of Default) and LGD (Loss Given Default) implied by current market default rates obtained from credit & loan-credit default
swaps, in order to obtain a value in terms of ‘expected loss’ (EL) to be used for items designated and measured at fair value maximising usage of
market’s inputs;
• non-performing positions are valued in terms of estimated expected future cash flow according to specific indications of impairment (which are the
basis for the calculation of the amount and timing of the cash flow).
Here follows the breakdown of balance-sheet asset item “20 a. Financial assets held for trading” and of balance-sheet liability item “20. Financial
liabilities held for trading”.
To make the distinction between customers and banking counterparties, the definition contained in Circular No.262 of 22 December 2005 of Banca
d’Italia and subsequent amendments (which was used for the preparation of the accounts) was used as a reference.
Structured products were defined as derivative contracts that incorporate in the same instrument forms of contracts that generate exposure to
several types of risk (with the exception of cross-currency swaps) and/or leverage effects.
The balance of item “20 a Financial assets held for trading” with regard to derivative contracts totaled €6,817 million (with a notional value of
€195,484 million) including €3,182 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with customers amounted to €78,040 million, including
€2,016 related to structured derivatives (fair value €129 million). The notional value of derivatives with banking counterparties totaled €117,444
million (fair value of €3,635 million) including €3,604 million relating to structured derivatives (fair value of €32 million).
The balance of item “20. Financial liabilities held for trading” with regard to derivative contracts totaled €6,967 million (with a notional value of
€191,229 million) including €1,592 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with customers amounted to €48,236 million, including
€1,453 million in structured derivatives (fair value of €31 million). The notional value of derivatives with banking counterparties totaled €142,993
million (fair value of €5,375 million), including €1,965 million relating to structured derivatives (fair value €142 million).

F. Credit risk measurement models
As at 31 December 2020 the expected loss on the credit risk perimeter was 0,42% of total Bank credit exposure. This trend is mitigated by the
exposures which have migrated to default and therefore do not enter in the calculation of expected loss. Besides, since risk measurement systems
tend to be anti-cyclical, this may result in a smaller elasticity to the swift changes of the macroeconomic scenario.
The ratio between credit economic capital (including a component to cover migration risk) and its relative credit exposure amount is 4.92% with
reference date end of December 2020.

3.2 Hedging policies
Qualitative information
Hedging transactions are used to manage the exposure to market risks and volatility of financial outcomes that arise as part of our normal business
operations and are executed in accordance with internal policies.
Derivatives are mainly used to manage of the banking book interest rate risk with the following goals:
• to reduce banking book interest rate risk profile according to Risk Appetite Framework approved by the Board of Directors and limits defined by
relevant Committees or risk functions. Within Risk Appetite Framework, the banking book exposure to interest rate risk is defined either in terms of
Net Interest Income Sensitivity or Economic Value Sensitivity;
• to optimise the natural hedge between the risk profile of assets and liabilities using derivatives to manage the mismatch, even temporary, between
the volume and the rates of assets and liabilities with different repricing schedules;
• to minimise the net exposure of derivatives used as economic hedges of the most stable portion of either assets or liabilities subject to hedge
accounting, thereby reducing the associated transaction cost.
A. Fair value hedging activities
The objective of fair value hedge on assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value coming from the embedded risk factor subject
to a hedging transaction.
The fair value hedge is applied both for identified financial instruments (securities, debt issues, loans, borrowings) and for portfolios of financial
instruments (in particular, fixed rate loans and non-maturity deposits or other fixed rate liabilities).
The hedging relationship is classified at the inception of the hedge by identifying the portion and type of risk to be hedged (partial term hedge), the
hedging strategy, the hedging instrument, and the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
The hedging strategy on identified financial instruments classified as Held-to-Collect (HTC) and Held-to-Collect & Sell (HTCS) considers the
contractual features of each instruments and business intent.
The hedging strategy on portfolios of financial instruments refers to the amounts of money contained in the portfolio of interest rate exposures that
are not already subject to "micro/specific" hedging and mirrors to the nominal amount and financial conditions of hedging derivatives.
The objective of fair value hedge on assets/liabilities denominated in foreign currency could refer to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value by
converting to Euro denominated assets/liabilities.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps, basis swaps, caps, floors, and cross currencies swaps.
B. Cash flow hedging activities
The objective of cash flow hedge on floating rate assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in cash flows from borrowings/lending that
bear a floating interest rate.
The hedging relationship is classified at the inception of the hedge by identifying the portion and type of risk to be hedged (partial term hedge), the
hedging strategy, the hedging instrument, and the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 679
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
Cash flow hedges are particularly used to hedge interest rate risk on floating-rate assets and liabilities, including rollovers, and foreign exchange
risks on highly probable forecast foreign currency revenues.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, cross-currency swaps with a maturity up to 20-30 year for some
commercial hedged assets.
C. Foreign net investments hedge activities
No hedging strategy is in place on an investment in entities whose functional currency differs from the Bank’s functional currency.
The Bank put in place some economic hedges on forecasted foreign currency revenues stemming from those entities. The objective of the economic
hedge is to reduce the volatility on the income statement coming from the foreign exchange risks. FX risk on forecasted foreign currency revenues is
continuously monitored and hedging strategies are periodically assessed. The hedging strategy and the percentage to be hedged is defined on a
case by case basis considering, inter alia, the diversification effect and taking into account the volatility and correlation in the FX rates.
The derivatives used mainly consist of currency options. These derivatives may not or should not qualify for hedge accounting even though achieve
substantially the same economic results. The impact of economic hedge is accounted in the Trading Income line.
D. Hedging instruments and E. Hedging elements
Prospective hedge effectiveness is established by the fact that all derivatives must, at inception, have the effect of reducing interest rate risk in term
of Economic Value Sensitivity (Fair Value Hedge) or Net Interest Income Sensitivity (Cash Flow Hedge) in the specific/portfolio of hedged
underlyings.
Retrospectively the hedge effectiveness is quarterly measured by referring to the most stable portion of assets/liabilities using a portfolio hedge
approach or by referring to the portion of risk being hedged using a micro/specific approach.
Sources of ineffectiveness comes from (i) the Euribor vs Eonia/€STER basis for hedging derivatives transactions subject to a collateral agreement,
(ii) Credit/Debit Value and Funding Value adjustment impacting derivative transactions fair values, (iii) shortfall arising in the underlying’s specifically
associated with that hedge in term of nominal or reverse sensitivity due to prepayment or default on commercial assets or withdrawals on liabilities
included such as commercial non-maturity deposits and are presented in Item 90 - Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
E. Other claims by customers
Supporting the business structures, the Compliance function oversees the regulatory environment evolution relating to banking services and
products in areas like transparency, financial and investment services and anti-usury. Compliance, as control function, develops rules, checks
processes and procedures and monitors complaints trends. The Compliance function, along with the Legal one, also supports analysis and
evaluation stages of adequacy of potential "customer care" actions or other initiatives designed to compose particular situations in which UniCredit
S.p.A. might be involved in order to define them.
Considering the regulatory complexity and interpretations not always homogeneous, UniCredit S.p.A. time-to-time assesses the accounting of
provisions for risk and charges, aimed at facing costs, deemed probable, in a contest that has increased the litigiousness at baking system level.
Concerning the financing of consumer credit, the EU Directive 2008/48 establishes that “ the consumer shall be entitled at any time to discharge fully
or partially his obligations under a credit agreement. In such cases, he shall be entitled to a reduction in the total cost of credit, such reduction
consisting of the interest and the costs for the remaining duration of the contract".
Following the decision of the European Court of Justice in September 2019 (judgment C-383/18 referring to the "Lexitor" case) and the
communication of the Banca d’Italia issued in December 2020, UniCredit S.p.A. proceeded to adapt to the most recent interpretation of this
legislation. Therefore, in the event of a request for early repayment of the loan, the consumer is entitled to pay off his debt net of costs not yet
accrued on the repayment date.
In consideration of the above, as well as the interpretations prior to the aforementioned communication of the Bank of Italy, the Bank noted the
guidelines issued by the Authority adapting to the framework outlined, and has carried out the appropriate assessments, also to preserve the quality
of the customers relationship.
Diamond offer
Over the years, within the diversification of investments to which the available assets are addressed and also considering in this context those
investments with the characteristics of the so-called "safe haven" with a long-term horizon, several UniCredit S.p.A.’s customers have historically
invested in diamonds through a specialised intermediary company, with which the Bank has stipulated, since 1998, a collaboration agreement as
"Introducer", in order to regulate the "reporting” methods of the offer of diamonds by the same company to UniCredit customers.
Since the end of 2016, the liquidity available on the market to meet the requests of customers who intended to divest their diamond assets has
contracted to a certain extent until it became nil, with the suspension of the service by the brokerage company.
In 2017 UniCredit S.p.A. started a "customer care" initiative which envisaged the availability of the Bank to intervene for the acknowledgement
towards the customer of the original cost incurred for the purchase of precious items and the consequent withdrawal of the stones, upon certain
conditions.
The initiative has been adopted assessing the absence of responsibility for its role as "Introducer"; nevertheless, the AGCM ascertained UniCredit’s
responsibility for unfair commercial practice (confirmed in appeal by the Administrative Regional Court in the second half of 2018), imposing, in
2017, a fine of €4 million paid in the same year. UniCredit has filed an appeal to the Council of State. The proceedings are pending.
On 8 March 2018, a specific communication was issued from Banca d’Italia concerning the "Related activities exercisable by banks", in which large
attention was given to the reporting at the bank branches of operations, purchase and sale of diamonds by specialised third-party companies.
As at 31 December 2020, UniCredit:
• received reimbursement requests for a total amount of about €404 million (cost originally incurred by the Clients) from No.11,975 Customers;
according to a preliminary analysis, such requests fulfill the requirements envisaged by the "customer care” initiative; the finalisation of the
reimbursement requests is currently carried out, aimed at assessing their effective compliance with the “customer care” initiative, and then proceed
with the settlement where conditions recur;
• with reference to the scope outlined in the previous point (€404 million), reimbursed No.8,031 customers for about €302 million (equivalent value
of original purchases), equal to about 75% of the reimbursement requests said above.
In order to cope with the probable risks of loss related to the repurchases of diamonds, a dedicated Risk and Charges Fund was set up; its
quantification was also based on the outcome of an independent study (commissioned to a primary third company) aiming at evaluating the
diamonds’ value.
Finally, the gems purchased are recognised for about €73 million in item “130. Other assets” of the balance sheet. This value is consistent with the
main parameters of the reference market, and also reflects the likely effects associated with the liquidity crisis in the sector, heavily affected by the
Covid-19 outbreak which characterised the economic scenario in 2020.

Part E - Information on risks and hedging policies
On 19 February 2019, the judge in charge of the preliminary investigation at the Court of Milan issued an interim seizure directed to UniCredit and
other financial institutions aimed at: (i) direct confiscation of the amount of €33 million against UniCredit for the offence of aggravated fraud and (ii)
indirect as well as direct confiscation of the amount of €72 thousand for the offence of self-laundering against UniCredit. From the seizure order it
emerges that investigations for the administrative offence under Art.25-octies of Legislative Decree No.231/2001 are pending against UniCredit for
the crime of self-laundering.
On 2 October 2019, the Bank and certain individuals received the notice of conclusion of the investigations pursuant to article 415-bis of the Italian
Code of criminal procedure. The notice confirmed the involvement of certain current and former employees for the offence of aggravated fraud and
self-laundering. With regard to the latter, self-laundering serves as a predicate crime for the administrative liability of the Bank under Legislative
Decree No.231/2001.
In September 2020, a new notice pursuant to article 415-bis of the Italian code of criminal procedure was served on certain individuals already
involved in the proceedings. The allegations against the UniCredit individuals only pertain to the offence of fraud. Such new allegations do not
modify the overall investigative framework as per the notice served in the autumn of 2019. Following the notification of the notices pursuant to article
415-bis, if the Public Prosecutor determines to request the indictment for all or part of the subjects involved, the preliminary hearing phase will take
place.

The category “employment practices” is not shown in the chart since it has a positive impact in the reference period due to the effects of recoveries
and releases of funds.
In 2020, the main sources of operational risk refers to “Business practices" and “process execution”.
The third largest contribution to losses refers to “Business disruption and technology system failures”, in which the costs to restore business after
Covid-19 pandemic event, that in the first half of 2020 were included in the category "material damage”, have been reallocated; this reallocation was
necessary due to the update that EBA published in December 2020 "EBA Report on the implementation of selected Covid-19 policies". The
incidence of Covid-19 costs represents 95% of the amount of losses in the Business disruption and technology system failures category.
There were also, in decreasing order, losses stemming from internal fraud, external fraud and material damages.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 December 2020, additionally to the changes in capital explained in detail in Part B, Section 12 - Shareholders’ equity,
reflects, among the others, the changes resulting from the ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolutions of 9 April 2020 regarding:
• coverage the entire loss from the 2019 financial year through the use of the Share premium reserve for (€555 million);
• coverage of the negative reserves totaling €3,408 million, partly by the use of Share premium reserve to eliminate the negative components
related to the payment of AT1 coupons (€525 million) and to the first time adoption of the IFRS9 (€2,759 million) and partly by use of the Statutory
reserve to cover the negative reserve arising from the payment of usufruct fees related to Cashes (€124 million).

The information reported above include the compensation paid to Directors (€3.9 million), Statutory Auditors (€0.9 million), and other Managers with
strategic responsibilities (€11 million), as shown in the document "Information Tables Pursuant Art.84 -quarter “Annual Report - Section II” of the
Regulation No.11971 Issued by Consob" attached to the “2020 Group Remuneration Policy”, and about €12 million relating to other costs (the
company share of social security contributions, accruals to severance pay funds and share-based payments using UniCredit and its subsidiaries’
equity instruments).
The compensation paid shows a substantial stability versus 2019, in line with the approach to remuneration that had been adopted during Transform
2019 plan and confirmed with the Team 23 Plan. The €2 million increase in the total compensation versus the previous year is linked to:
• the enlargement by one unit of the management team with strategic responsibilities, and
• the greater impact of costs for share-based payments, mainly related to the CEO.
Conversely, there were no costs related to severance payments during 2020, compared to 4 million in the previous year.

Part M - Information on leases
Part M - Information on leases
Section 1 - Lessee
Qualitative information
The Bank in conducting its business, signs lease contracts for which accounts for rights of use that mainly relate to the following type of tangible
assets:
• Buildings;
• Others (eg. cars).
These contracts are accounted for in accordance with rules set in accounting standard IFRS16 further detailed in Part A - Accounting policies, A.2 -
Main items of the accounts (section to refer to).
The rights of use deriving from these lease contracts are mainly used to provide for services or for administrative purposes and accounted for
according to the cost method. If these rights of use are sub-leased to third parties, a financial or operating lease contract is booked based on their
characteristics.
As allowed by the accounting standard, the Bank has decided not to account for rights of use or lease liabilities in case of:
• short-term leases, lower than 12 months; and
• lease of low value assets. In this regard, in this respect an asset is considered as low value if its fair value when new is equal to or lower than €5
thousand. This category mainly includes office machines (PCs, monitors, tablets, etc.) as well as fixed and mobile telephony devices.
The lease payments deriving from this type of activity are booked in item “160. Administrative expenses” on an accrual basis.
Quantitative information
The book value of the rights of use arising from lease contracts are exposed in Part B - Balance sheet - Assets, Section 8 - Property, plant and
equipment of the Notes to the accounts.
During the year, these rights of use resulted in the recognition of depreciations for €180 million of which:
• €174 million relating to buildings;
• €6 million relating to the other category (eg. cars).
In addition, impairment for €22 million has been booked.
With reference to leasing liabilities, the related book value is shown in Part B - Balance sheet - Liabilities, Section 1 - Financial liabilities at amortised
cost of the Notes to the accounts (section to refer to).
During the year, these lease liabilities led to the recognition of interest expenses shown in Part C - Income statement, Section 1 - Interests of the
Notes to the accounts.
With reference to short-term leases and leases of low value assets, it should be noted that during the year, rentals were accounted for €56 million.
It should be noted that such amount also includes VAT on rentals which is not included in the lease liability calculation.
Finally, with reference to the sublease contracts, it should be noted that these contracts determined operating income for €17 million.
For the purposes of determining the lease term, the Bank considers the non-cancellable period established by the contract, during which the lessee
has the right to use the underlying asset as well as any renewal options where the lessee has reasonable expectation to proceed with the renewal.
In particular, with reference to contracts that provide the lessee with the option to automatically renew the lease at the end of a first period, the lease
term is determined considering elements such as the duration of the first period, the existence of any plan leading to the disposal of the asset leased
as well as any other circumstance indicating the reasonable certainty of renewal.
Therefore, the amount of cash flows, not reflected in the calculation of the lease liability, to which the Bank is potentially exposed, is essentially due
to the possible renewal of lease contracts and the subsequent extension of the lease term not included in the original calculation of the lease
liabilities taking into account the information available and expectations existing as at 1 January 2019 (date of initial application of IFRS16) or on the
starting date of the lease.

Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part M - Information on leases
Section 2 - Lessor
Qualitative information
The Bank carries out financial leasing activities associated with the sublease of properties both to other Group’s companies and to third parties.
These contracts are exposed through the recognition of a credit for financial leases recognised in item “40. Financial assets at amortised cost”, of
the related income on an accrual basis in item "10. Interest income and similar revenues" and of the impairment for the expected credit loss in item
“130.Net losses/recoveries on credit impairment”.
Operating leases activities, on the other hand, are essentially attributable to the leasing of owned properties to parties external to the Group.
These contracts are represented through the recognition, on an accrual basis, of the rentals received in item “200. Other operating
expenses/income”.
Quantitative information
1. Balance sheet and Income statement information
With reference to financial lease contracts, the book value of credit for financial leases is shown in Part B - Balance sheet - Assets, Section 4 -
Financial assets at amortised cost of these Notes to the accounts.
Such loans determined, during the year, interest income shown in Part C - Income statement, Section 1 - Interests of Notes to the accounts.
With reference to operating lease contracts, it should be noted that the book value of the owned assets granted under operating lease is composed
as follows:
• Land: €102 million;
• Buildings: €218 million.
Rentals recognised on an accrual basis during the year for leasing of these activities are shown in Part C - Income statement, Section 14 - Other
operating expenses/income of these Notes to the accounts.

The value shown in the table represents the gross exposure. This value is decreased by impairment, equal to €1 million, leading to the amount of
€76 million shown among the Assets - Section 4 - Financial assets at amortised cost of these Notes to the accounts.
2.2 Other information
With regard to financial leases, the credit risk associated with the contract is managed according to what is stated in Part E - Information on risks
and hedging policies, Section 1 - Credit risk of the Notes to the accounts (section to referred to).
The classification of the contract as a finance lease is determined by the fact that the risks and rewards of the leased right of use are transferred to
the lessee mainly through contract durations substantially aligned with the useful life of the related right.

Dear Shareholders,
the Board of Statutory Auditors (hereinafter, also the “BoSA”) is called to report to the Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. (hereinafter, also

Paolucci (Permanent Statutory Auditors). The Statutory Auditors Ms. Antonella Bientinesi, Mr. Angelo Rocco Bonissoni, Ms. Benedetta Navarra and
Mr. Guido Paolucci were already present in the previous composition of the BoSA.
The Board of Directors of UniCredit, in its meeting held on 6 February 2019, approved by resolution to charge the Board of Statutory Auditors with
the functions of Supervisory Body pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No.231/2001 as from its aforementioned renewal for the financial years
2019-2021. Until the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the previous organizational structure was therefore maintained, entrusting these
functions to an independent body, specifically set up for this purpose, composed of external members and senior executives of the Company with
the task of guidance, support and control functions.
During the year 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors held overall No.62 meetings with an average duration of about 3 hours and 40 minutes, of
which No.50 as ordinary session and No.12 acting as 231 Supervisory Body’s:
During 2021 and until the date of the present Report, the Board of Statutory Auditors met 12 times.
During 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors attended all the meetings of the Board of Directors (on one occasion, a BoSA Member was unable to
attend). The Shareholders' Meeting held on 9 April 2020 was attended only by the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors due to limitations
caused by the epidemiological emergency.
In compliance with the provisions of the “UniCredit - Corporate Bodies and Committees Regulation”, during 2020, the Chairman of the Board of
Statutory Auditors, attended all meetings of the Internal Controls & Risks Committee (“IC&RC”), as a permanent guest; the entire Board of Statutory
Auditors also attended these Committee meetings, when issues of common interest were discussed (annual and half-yearly financial reports and
accounting issues).
Starting from May 2020, individual members of the Board of Statutory Auditors have attended (with rotation on a six-month basis) the meetings of
the Related Parties and Remuneration Committees, while the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors has attended the meetings of the
Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee. Starting from May 2020, the Internal Controls & Risks Committee has also been
attended by another Statutory Auditor (with rotation on a six-month basis).

the Group and the entire European Banking Sector.
2. Group activities development operations and other corporate transactions
As stated in the Consolidated Annual Report, the Covid-19 pandemic deeply affected the macroeconomic environment, with serious impacts on
communities, employees, and customers. International and domestic economic activity, affected by progressive and repeated lockdown phases, has
suffered serious consequences since the early months of 2020, with unavoidable impacts on the Group profit.
From the main effects of Covid-19 observed, important to be noticed are the following:
• negative impacts on the retail loans demand and on the corporate loans interest rates, even following the facilitation of loans with state
guarantees, with resulting decrease on the interest margin;
• decreases of the commissions, in all service areas;
• additional costs, specifically for devices and equipment needed for the employee’s protection and for a massive transfer to a remote way of
working (smart working);
• worsening of the cost of risk because of higher provisions on loans, in the current environment that continues to be characterised by highly
uncertain elements. In this respect during 2020, €5.0 billion loan loss provisions have been detected, of which €2.2 billion overlay.
In relation to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the Group ensured an effective operational
response, thanks to the acceleration and the strengthening of some digitalization initiatives already provided for by the strategic guidelines of the
UniCredit 2020-2023 Team 23 Strategic Plan approved in December 2019 (hereinafter, also referred to as the "Team 23 Plan" or the "Plan"), with
the aim to increase the product range and services accessible remotely by the customers, and to improve the service level granted by all the
channels operating as a complement of the physical network of branches.
As indicated by the Directors in the financial statements report, the Bank's digital transformation plan has been further accelerated through a series
of new investments and initiatives aimed at a wider customer service model review, that is evolving from a setting mainly based on the physical
interaction to a model where the Bank/Customer interaction will be designed basing on the needs and preferences of the latter.
Measures have also been activated to protect the health, safety, and well-being of all stakeholders, including, for example, the “remote working”
massive adoption for the employees of the headquarters, and the introduction of specific measures for the access and use of the branches.
In this context, the Board of Statutory Auditors has noted, through the information gathered during its meetings and the related analyses carried out,
as well as through its attendance at the Board of Directors’ meetings, how, during 2020, the Group's activity, with the purpose of maximising the
added value for the investors was oriented towards realizing the strategic priorities of the Team 23 Plan.
The financial objectives of the “Team 23” Plan, in light of the worsening macroeconomic context and the consequent cost of risk reviewed estimates
can no longer be considered as reachable for 2020 and no longer valid for 2021, while confirming the strategic priorities communicated last
December 2019. The current picture of strong uncertainty and volatility does not allow yet to pursue an overall final valuation of the impacts on the
medium-long term objectives of the Plan, to determine whether also these ones are still valid or not.
In this context, the Board of Statutory Auditors considers that an update of the Team 23 Plan that reflects the current conditions, may be approved
during 2021 by the new Board of Directors, which will be appointed by the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 15 April 2021.
The necessary analyses, which have already started during the second part of 2020, are likely to be finalised in the coming months of 2021.
In the financial-economic context deteriorated by the Covid-19-crisis, the Group recorded in 2020 a net loss of €2,785 million, compared with the
€3,373 million of net profit achieved in 2019.
706 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The net loss of the Group in 2020 was also impacted by the accounting of some non-recurring items, amounting to about -€4 billion net of taxes and
minorities; more specifically:
• with negative impact, -€1,272 million (-€1,347 million gross) due to severance for the personnel in Italy, as planned by “Team 23”, -€1,576 million
(including transfer charges for -€3 million) for charges related to the sales of 20.95% of Yapi ve Kredi Bankasi A.Ş. and resulting unwinding of Joint
Venture agreements, -€99 million for negative profits on investment stemmed out from impairment of real estate assets of the Non Core division,
-€500 million (-€535 million gross) for loan loss provisions related to the effects quantification of the new European rules concerning the Definition
of Default, -€878 million for devaluation of goodwill of CIB division (Corporate & Investment Banking) carried out in the fourth quarter 2020 and
additional -€20 million (-€18 million gross) for other write-downs;
• with positive impact, €296 million connected with real estate disposal in Germany.
Net of the mentioned non-recurring items, the Group recorded in 2020 an underlying net profit of €1,264 million, compared with €4,675 million of
underlying net profit of 2019.
On 26 November 2020 UniCredit informed that, following the communication received from the European Central Bank (ECB) in relation to the 2020
Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), UniCredit's Pillar 2 Capital Requirement (P2R) is confirmed at 175 basis points.
The capital requirements for UniCredit, on a consolidated basis, remained unchanged compared to the previous year. However, considering the
ECB decision on 12 March 2020 (anticipating the adoption of CRD V Art.104a), and the reduction of the Countercyclical Capital Buffer, UniCredit
shall respect in 2021 the following capital ratios:
• 9.03 per cent CET1 ratio;
• 10.85 per cent Tier 1 ratio;
• 13.29 per cent Total Capital ratio.
As at 31 December 2020, UniCredit group’s ratios are compliant with all the above requirements.
The consolidated report on operations also includes the sale initiatives of non-performing loans portfolio, aimed at reducing the portfolio as part of
the full run-off strategy by the year 2021.
With regard to the transactions and initiatives involving shareholdings, described in the financial statements report, please note the following:
Information about Yapi Kredi Bank
On 5 February 2020, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. completed the transactions entered with the Koç Group on 30 November 2019 regarding
inter alia the termination of the shareholders agreement of Koç Finansal Hizmetleri A.S., the Turkish (Joint Venture) vehicle through which the Koç
Group and UniCredit have run a commercial banking operation in Turkey since 2002.
On the same day, UniCredit S.p.A. announced the placement to institutional investors of approximately 12% of the issued share capital of Yapı ve
Kredi Bankası A.Ş. The settlement of such capital market transaction occurred on 13 February 2020.
The current shareholding of UniCredit S.p.A. in Yapı ve Kredi Bankası A.Ş. is equal to 20.0%, after the completion of the transactions described
above.
Disposal of SIA UniCredit Leasing

UniCredit Leasing. The investment was classified among held for sale (IFRS5) as at 31 December 2020, in line with the previous year.
In relation to the aforementioned transactions and the other transactions described in the Consolidated Annual Report, the Board of Statutory
Auditors, based on the analyses carried out and the information obtained, including through attendance at the Board of Directors’ meeting and
examination of the related documentation, and based on the information available, can reasonably consider the transactions themselves compliant
with the law and the Bank's Articles of Association and not manifestly imprudent, risky, contrary to the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting, or
such as to compromise the integrity of the corporate assets.
3. Atypical or unusual transactions
The financial statements report, the information received during the meetings of the Board of Directors and the information provided by the
Chairman, the CEO, the Management, the Head of Internal Audit, the direct subsidiaries’ Boards of Statutory Auditors, and the External Auditor
revealed no atypical or unusual transactions, carried out with third parties, related parties or intragroup.

4. Related-party transactions
Global Policy “Transactions with related parties, associated persons and Corporate Officers ex Art.136 CBA”
In December 2020, a dedicated working group began the activity of reviewing the internal regulations for the management of transactions with
parties in conflict of interest called “Transactions with Related Parties, associated persons and Corporate Officers ex Art.136 CBA”, in order to take
into account the effectiveness demonstrated by the Global Policy in the application practice, as well as the changes made in the sector regulations.
With particular reference to the latter, by Resolution No.21624 dated 10 December 2020, CONSOB updated the “Regulation on related-party
transactions”, effective from 1 July 2021.
The financial statements report contains information relating to related-party transactions, together with the related certifications (pursuant to Art.5 of
the Consob Regulation containing the provisions on related-party transactions adopted by resolution No.17221/2010 and subsequent amendments
ruling “Public information on related-party transactions”). In particular, it should be noted that:
• according to the Global Policy “Transactions with related parties, associated persons and Corporate Officers ex Art.136 CBA” adopted by the
Board of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. on 6 February 2019 and published on the website www.unicreditgroup.eu, during 2020 the Bank’s Presidio
Unico received no reports of transactions of greater importance ended in the period;
• during 2020, no transactions with related parties as defined by article 2427, paragraph 22-bis of the Civil Code were conducted, under different

• during 2020, there were no changes or developments in the individual transactions with related parties already described in the previous annual
report that had a material effect on the Group’s financial position or results during the reference period.
5. Oversight of the external audit activity
Directive 2014/56/EU Art.28 amended Directive 2006/43/EC concerning external audit and was transposed in Italy with Legislative Decree
No.135/2016, which updated Italian Legislative Decree No.39/2010. Regulation (EU) 537/2014 of 16 April 2014, Art.10 (hereafter also the
“Regulation”) defines the specific requirements of the audit report for public interest entities.
The financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A, of the Company and the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020, are audited by the
External Auditors Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. pursuant to Legislative Decree No.39 of 27 January 2010, and in execution of the Shareholders’
resolution of 11 May 2012. The financial statements of the other Group companies are audited by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. itself, or by other
companies in the Deloitte & Touche network.
Pursuant to Art.19 of Italian Legislative Decree No.135/2016, during the course of 2020 and up to the date of this Report to the Shareholders, the
Board of Statutory Auditors carried out an in-depth monitoring process during all the activity carried out by the External Auditors.
Specifically, the BoSA scheduled a series of specific meetings during the various phases of the audit, during which it examined, inter alia:
• the 2020 Transparency Report (independent auditing policies and procedures and internal quality control system (practice review);
• the resources and hours budgeted for the 2020 external audit;
• the scope of work, materiality and significant risks 2020;
• the 2020 Audit Plan;
• the 2020 Group Audit timetable.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also analysed the methodology adopted by the External Auditors and acquired the necessary information during the
task, with constant interaction on the audit approach used for the various significant areas of the financial statements, sharing the issues related to
corporate risks, as well as receiving updates on the progress of the audit and on the main aspects examined by the External Auditors.
In November 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors met in two separate sessions with the Partners of the Deloitte network in charge of the audits
of UniCredit Bank AG (Germany), UniCredit Bank Austria AG, AO UniCredit Bank (Russia) and of the Banks belonging to CEE Division (Central
Eastern Europe), as well as of the Italian subsidiaries Cordusio SIM S.p.A., Cordusio Fiduciaria S.p.A., UniCredit Factoring S.p.A., UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A, UniCredit Services S.C.p.A., for the usual annual update on the scenario developments in the various countries and on the main
results of the respective audit activities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed the following reports of the External Auditors Deloitte & Touche S.p.A., whose activity supplements the
general framework of the control Functions required by the regulations regarding financial information process:
• the auditing reports issued on 9 March 2021, pursuant to Art. 14 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010 and Art. 10 of Regulation (EU) No.537/2014;

708 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The aforementioned reports on the audit of the Company financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of the Group highlight that
they both provide a truthful and correct representation of the equity and financial situation of UniCredit S.p.A. and of the UniCredit group at 31
December 2020, of the economic performance and cash flow for the year ended on that date, in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union as well as the provisions issued in implementation of Art.9 of Italian Legislative Decree
No.38/2005 and of Art.43 of Italian Legislative Decree No.136/2015.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the External Auditors, the Management Report and some specific information contained in the Report on Corporate
Governance and Ownership Structure indicated in Art.123-bis, paragraph 4, of Italian Legislative Decree No.58/1998 (TUF) are consistent with the
financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. and with the consolidated financial statements of the UniCredit group at 31 December 2020, and are
prepared in accordance with the law. With reference to the possible identification of significant errors in the Management Report (article14,
paragraph 2, subpar. e) of Italian Legislative Decree No.39/2010), the External Auditors declared that there was nothing to report.
The reports on the auditing of the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements show the key matters that, according to the
professional opinion of the External Auditors, were more significant in the accounting audit of the Company and consolidated financial statements for
the year under review [ISA Italy 701]:
• risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of performing customer loans;
• risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of non-performing loans to customers (“bad loans” and “unlikely to pay”);
• impairment test of goodwill allocated to the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB).
With regard to the aforementioned key matters, for which the External Auditors’ reports illustrate the related audit procedures adopted, the External
Auditors do not express a separate opinion, as the same have been dealt within the audit, and in the assessment of the financial statements as a
whole. The aforementioned key matters have been the subject of detailed analysis and updating during the periodic meetings that the Board of
Statutory Auditors held with the External Auditors.
The Board of Statutory Auditors met regularly with the External Auditors, as required by Art.150, paragraph 3, of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998
(TUF) for a mutual exchange of information. It informed the Board of Statutory Auditors that there were no censurable actions or facts or
irregularities which would have required specific reporting under Art.155, paragraph 2, of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 (TUF).
In light of the foregoing, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems the process of interaction with the External Auditors to be adequate and transparent.
It also believes that the consolidated “two-way dialogue” between the External Auditors and the Bodies responsible for governance on the areas of
financial statements risk and on the procedures identified to oversee them further supported the role and responsibility of the parties involved in the
preparation of the financial statements and in the auditing activities.
6. Oversight on the independence of the External Auditors
During the 2020 financial year, pursuant to Art.19 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified and monitored the
independence of the External Auditors Deloitte & Touche S.p.A., pursuant to articles 10, 10-bis, 10-ter, 10-quater and 17 of the aforementioned
decree and article 6 of the Regulation (EU) 537/2014 dated 16 April 2014 ( the “Regulation”), in particular with regard to the adequacy of the
provision of services other than auditing (so-called “non-audit services”) to the audited entity. Furthermore, as previously stated (see previous
paragraph), the Board of Statutory Auditors received by Deloitte & Touche the declaration confirming its independence.
Since January 2017, for the purposes of the correct application of the Regulation, the Bank has adopted an internal regulation containing operating
instructions addressed to all the companies of the UniCredit group so that they may submit each individual non-audit assignment for the assessment
and approval of the Control Body of each Group company (Board of Statutory Auditors, Audit Committee or equivalent Body), and subsequently to
the UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Statutory Auditors to issue its final binding prior opinion. The Board of Statutory Auditors also took note of the
information concerning non-audit services prepared through a preventive and four-monthly flow by the competent Function: pursuant to this process,
all the companies of the UniCredit group contributed to the transmission of the data requested and required by internal regulations, in order to
enable the timely monitoring of the costs of the services provided to the External Auditors and by all entities belonging to the Deloitte network.
Following the renewal of the Board of Statutory Auditors in 2019, the Control Body, together with the Bank’s competent Functions, carried out a
review of the internal regulations, Global Operational Regulation (GOR), called “Principles and rules for the management of contractual relations
with the Group's External Auditors”; it was issued in March 2018, and addressed to all the Group’s subsidiaries, prompting specifically the
introduction of wider restrictions than those foreseen by the regulations concerning the identification of the non-audit services number that can be
assigned to the Group’s External Auditors network. The internal regulations review was concluded with the issue of the new version of the
aforementioned GOR on 26 March 2020. The Board of Statutory Auditors requested to be promptly informed about the implementation process of
the same in the Group companies concerned.
On the basis on the final 2020 data, the value of the services provided by the Group's External Auditor and the companies belonging to its Network
amount to approximately €33.9 million, of which €7.6 million refer to verification/attestation services and €5.7 million to other non-audit services. At
the Group level, the costs of non-audit services assigned to the External Auditors increased by 3% compared to 2019.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 709
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
With reference to the information concerning the Parent Company, provided in the statement relating the " Publication of the remuneration -
UniCredit S.p.A. - 2020 financial year - Deloitte network” the Board of Statutory Auditors notes that, compared to the previous year, the costs of
services assigned to the External Auditors remain unchanged, the costs of attestation services, amounting to €3.6 million, increased compared to
the previous year by 56%, mainly due to the performance of ISAE 3000 Revised Mifid II and ISAE 3000 Revised TLTRO III services, while the costs
of non-audit services remain stable at € 0.9 million.
The ratio between the cost of the non-audit services provided by Deloitte S.p.A., External Auditor of the Parent Company, and the three-year
average of the audit services (2017-2018-2019) amounted to 20% for 2020, lower than the 70% limit established by internal regulations and
applicable external regulations ("fee cap"). With regard to the non-audit services planning for 2021, Deloitte S.p.A. is expected to be assigned
services with a value of approximately €1 million, with a forecast fee cap of 20%. According to the regulations, non-audit services required by
national or European Union rules, or a charge for the benefit of a certain discipline, are not relevant for the determination of the fee cap.
7. Oversight of the financial information process
For the purposes of overseeing the financial reporting processes, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition to the aforementioned in-depth analysis
carried out with the External Auditors, which did not reveal significant critical issues of the internal control system concerning the financial reporting
process, carried out the planned and periodic meetings with the Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements and the competent
Accounting and Group Risk Management structures.
The administrative and accounting procedures for drafting the Company and consolidated financial statements and all other financial information
were set up under the responsibility of the Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements who, together with the CEO, attests that they are
adequate and actually applied.
During the above mentioned periodic meetings, the Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements did not report any significant
shortcomings in the operating and control processes that could undermine the overall adequacy and actual application of the administrative and
accounting procedures, in order to correctly represent the economic, asset and financial aspects of the accounting events in compliance with
international accounting standards.
The Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements and the Chief Executive Officer signed the statements relating to the individual and
consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020, pursuant to Art.81-ter of the Issuer Regulation, approved by Consob with Resolution
11971/1999 as amended and supplemented.
The Board of Statutory Auditors took note of the updates that have occurred in the internal regulations concerning the internal control system
applicable to Financial Reporting and the Manual on Group accounting rules and principles, most recently approved by the Board of Directors at its
meeting of 5 March 2021.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has also taken into account the call for attention No.1/21 dated 16 February 2021 issued by CONSOB on the
information to be provided in relation to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and related measures to support the economy, by the supervised
issuers, Supervisory Bodies and Auditing Firms, in relation to the 2020 financial statements prepared in accordance with international accounting
standards.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also therefore acknowledged the “Report on the status of the Internal Control System on Financial Reporting -
Management Report” with regard to the certification campaign pursuant to the Law 262/05 of the consolidated and individual financial statements
as at 31 December 2020, issued on 10 February 2021.
In light of the information received and of the analyses carried out, as also described below, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems the overall
administrative accounting system to be adequate in regard to the current regulations.
Compared to a total of No.466 companies wholly consolidated, on the basis of the criteria defined in the aforementioned internal regulations as at 31
December 2020, the companies subject to certification for the 262 campaign amount to No.47 and cover 98% of the Group Total Aggregated Assets
(“GTAA”).
The certification campaign as at 31 December 2020, which for UniCredit S.p.A. involved No.420 processes that undergo No.1,705 checks, and
No.2,394 processes relating to the other Group companies on which there were a total of No.7,911 checks, ended with the issuance of all the so-
called “internal certifications” to the Manager in charge of preparing the financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. by the counterparties of the relevant
companies subjected to the campaign.
With reference to the points of attention that emerged for UniCredit S.p.A., the Board of Statutory Auditors took note of the analyses carried out and
recommended the Bank to proceed without delay to the necessary strengthening of the Group application for the campaign management.
Regarding the areas of improvement overall identified by the certification campaign, which are mainly related to: i) the definition of processes, roles,
responsibilities and identification of the structure responsible for some additional processes not yet defined/implemented, ii) the automation of
processes/procedures to improve data production and control activities, the BoSA recommended the continuation of the corrective measures
planned by Management (Group Remediation Plan), as part of the complete and correct maintenance of the administrative-accounting system.
710 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors has taken note of the procedures carried out by the External Auditors requested by the Bank (“Agreed upon
procedures”) as suggested by the Board of Statutory Auditors, regarding the production of the disclosure made with reference to 31 December 2020,
by UniCredit S.p.A. in the information document of the UniCredit group drawn up pursuant to Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (“Pillar III”), in relation to:
(i) the processes and their first and second-level controls for: (a) the determination of the Own Funds and Banking Regulatory Ratios; (b) the
determination of Risk Weighted Assets; (c) the production of the disclosure made in Pillar III; (ii) verifying the composition, the correct determination
and the arithmetic correctness of certain information provided in Pillar III; (iii) the trend and consistency analysis of the Own Funds, Banking
Regulatory Ratios and Risk Weighted Assets (RWA).
The Board of Statutory Auditors believes, as in the previous years, that the above-described activity makes it possible to consider the internal
regulatory framework adequate and updated, the design of the procedures and the control processes implemented sufficiently formalised and
comprehensible, and the planned control activities (both first and second level) actually implemented and effective. It also contributes to the growth
of the internal culture regarding the analysis of the phenomena underlying the formation of the Own Funds, as well as an ever greater transparency
towards the markets.
With regard to the activities related to the strengthening of the governance of data and information (Data Quality), as well as the strongest
safeguards serving the decision-making and risk-control processes, a topic on which the Board of Statutory Auditors has always paid significant
attention over time, during 2020, the BoSA requested an update on the Data Roadmap and the related multi-year strategic initiative called Umbrella
Program, led by the GRM, CFO and COO Functions, with the aim of data quality/architecture/aggregation/reporting initiatives, in order to increase
the accuracy of the Group's data and the relative flexibility in data aggregation, to deal with new or ad hoc regulatory requirements also in the
context of scenarios characterised by stress, also taking into account the Supervisor's recommendations in the context of the SREP (Supervisory
Review and Evaluation Process). The Board of Statutory Auditors has observed that the program of planned initiatives and actions is essentially on
track, with the testing phases underway for several deliveries; the BoSA will continue to monitor this plan, also considering that it is a specific point
of attention within the aforementioned SREP, with a strong focus on the identified benefits (increase in the accuracy, flexibility and adaptability of the
data).
Risks and uncertainties relating to the use of estimates
As stated in the financial statements report, the current market environment is affected, compared with the past, by an increased risk of a lower
predictivity of the macroeconomic projections, arising from a substantial degree of uncertainty about the evolution of the pandemic and the
consequent uncertainty of predicting timing and extent of the economic recovery which may occur in future periods. The existence of a higher
uncertainty represents, in fact, a key factor of the statements issued by supranational authoritative bodies such as the International Monetary Fund
(“IMF”) in its statement “October 2020 World Economic Outlook”, and the European Commission (“EC”) in its statement of November 2020 named “
Autumn 2020 Economic Forecast: Rebound interrupted as resurgence of pandemic deepens uncertainty”. Additionally, through the communication
issued on 28 October 2020, ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority - Autorità Europea degli Strumenti Finanziari e dei Mercati)
published a Public Statement (“European common enforcement priorities for 2020 Annual Financial Reports”), which requires issuers in the financial
statements, and in order to take into account the significant volatility and uncertainty related to the Covid-19 pandemic, to consider alternative
scenarios for the assessment of items whose sustainability depends on future estimates.
In such context of high level of uncertainty explained above and considering the aforementioned ESMA communication, the Board of Statutory
Auditors has noted that the Bank’s Management has defined different macroeconomic scenarios, to be used for the purposes of the evaluation
processes of 2020 financial statements, which are fully explained in the financial statements report. Specifically:
• So-called “Baseline" scenario based on the financial forecasts (Net Profit and RWA) underlying the update of the 2021 Budget, approved by the
Board of Directors at its meeting held on 13 January 2021, and the forecasts for 2022 and 2023 submitted to the Board of Directors on the same
date;
• So-called “Downturn” scenario, a worst-case scenario compared to the “Baseline” scenario, reflecting downward macroeconomic forecasts for
2021-2023, in order to factor the greater risks inherent in the current uncertainty context;
In this context, with reference to the valuations, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts of
assets, liabilities, expenses and income reported in the financial statements, as well as the disclosure concerning potential assets and liabilities, the
Board of Statutory Auditors notes, inter alia, the following.
Value of goodwill and deferred tax assets
With reference to goodwill and deferred tax assets, for the measurement and with the aim to reflect the aforementioned degree of uncertainty,
pursuant to requirements of the aforementioned ESMA public statement, both the scenarios outlined above have been considered. In particular
future cash flows have been estimated by weighting the “Baseline” scenario and the “Downturn” scenario with a higher probability attributed to the
“Baseline” scenario (60% vs. 40%). Moreover, additional parameters impact on measurement: (i) for goodwill, the measurement is influenced by
Cost of Equity, CET1 ratio target and long term growth rate; (ii) the sustainability of deferred tax assets is influenced by the volatility of expected
results and by the confidence level used. In the context of measurement as at 31 December 2020, the evaluation of these items has been updated
through the redetermination, if needed, of the underlying parameters.

Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The net book value of goodwill as at 31 December 2020, equal to zero, decreased by €886 million compared to the value as at 31 December 2019
due to the fully write-down of the goodwill allocated to the CGU Commercial Banking Italy (Cash Generating Unit) for €8 million, and the goodwill
allocated to the CGU Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) for €878 million.
Extensive information is provided by the Bank in the financial statements report on Deferred tax assets for the carry-forward of unused tax
losses (DTA TLCF). With reference to the Italian tax group perimeter, starting from the financial statements as at 31 December 2019, the
methodology calculation of the sustainability test for both IRES and IRAP has been developed on a 10 years-time length, for testing the DTA on
TLCF, deemed coherent to assess sufficient taxable base generation to be used for the offsetting of said deferred taxes. In line with the above, as
well as in the goodwill impairment test, the two scenarios “base” and “downturn” were considered, by weighting the results of both scenarios with a
greater weight (equal to 60%) for the base scenario. In addition, the volatility parameter behind the statistic model has been updated from 5.0 of
2019 to 8.1 of 2020; such an increase derives from the update up to the first half 2020 of the historical series of pre-tax results of European banks
included in the statistic sample; in details, data referred to full year 2020 were included in the historical series by linearly annualizing first half 2020
results, thus embedding the recent higher variability of European banks economic results, affected by Covid-19 pandemic.
The results of these evaluation might be subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment depending on the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of
the relief measures adopted and, ultimately, on the existence and degree of the economic recovery. Possible deviations of the actual economic
recovery compared with the assumptions which form the basis of the evaluations might require a re-determination of the parameters used for
valuation purposes, in particular with regard to the future cash flows, and the consequent change in the valuation.
Valuation of Group real estate portfolio
Starting from 31 December 2019, the Group changed its accounting policy for the measurement of real estate properties moving from a cost model
to a fair value model for properties held for investment and revaluation model for properties used in business.
This change, approved on 2 December 2019 by the UniCredit S.p.A. Board of Directors, was deemed to result in reliable and more relevant
information for financial statements’ users, taking into account:
• the expected disposal by 2025 of real estate assets held for investment (IAS40), as fair value model presents a higher capability to approximate
the expected disposal price, accounting for the related effects timely in advance;
• the possibility to better represent the equity of the Group, with regard to real estate assets used in business (IAS16), as revaluation model
represents the net equity updated in light of current market conditions.
As at 31 December 2020 fair value of both properties held for investment and properties used in business was re-determined through external
appraisals.
With reference to the Group, the update of appraisals has led to an overall positive balance sheet effect of €115 million gross of tax; with reference
to UniCredit S.p.A. the update of appraisals has led to an overall positive balance sheet effect of €21 million gross of tax, as detailed below:
• for real estate assets used in business, the recognition of an increase in the specific valuation reserve for an amount of €30 million gross of tax
effect. In addition to this increase, net gains for €0.3 million were recognised in the income statement gross of the tax effect;
• for real estate assets held for investment, the recognition of an income statement results equal to -€9.3 million gross of the tax effect.
In this context, as also indicated in the Notes to the consolidated accounts, the Board of Statutory Auditors points out that in the upcoming financial
years, fair value of these assets might be different from the fair value observed as at 31 December 2020 as a result of the possible evolution of real
estate market which will also depend on the new practice, in terms of remote working, that could prevail once the lock-down measures will be lifted.
Valuation of Credit Exposures
The slow-down of the economic activity resulting from the pandemic Covid-19 and the associated lock-down measures has also affected the
estimates on their recoverability and the calculation of the associated loan loss provisions. In this regard it must be noted that the amount of loan
loss provisions is determined considering the classification, current and expected, of credit exposures as non-performing, the sale prices, for those
non performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external counterparties, and credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss
Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9, incorporates, among other factors, forward looking information and the
expected evolution of the macroeconomic scenario.
In this context, the Board of Statutory Auditors points out that the Group has updated the macroeconomic scenarios as at 31 December 2020 by
applying appropriate weighting factors to them, as detailed in the financial statements report.
712 2020 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
As at 31 December 2020, the assessment of the recoverability of credit exposures and the calculation of the related impairment losses on loans
were affected, in addition to the assessments in place in order to check the significant increase in credit risk as a result of the pandemic, the effects
related to the New Definition of Default.
In this context, it should be specified that:
• the assessment of the increase in credit risk connected with the pandemic context, has determined impairment losses for €415 million following
the classification in Stage 2 of the related exposures (of which €274 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.)
• the inclusion of the effects connected with the New Definition of Default, has led to the recognition of impairment losses for €535 million (of which
€366 million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.), as explained below;
• the update of the macroeconomic scenario during 2020 has led to the recognition of impairment losses on loans for €808 million (of which €504
million relating to UniCredit S.p.A.).
New Definition of Default
The New Definition of Default, is applied starting from the first quarter 2021, in line with the deadline for the entry in force (1 January 2021), set out
by European Banking Authority (EBA) in the related Guidelines for Banks adopting Internal Rating Based Approaches. The new classification
criteria, with more stringent criteria for the classification of counterparties, will envisage as main changes the review of the materiality thresholds of
past due and a further articulated structure of Unlikely-To-Pay triggers including additional requirements on default contagions effects in case of
connected clients. Furthermore, a minimum probation period before returning in a non-defaulted status has been set as mandatory.
In consideration of the application of the New Definition of Default, since the Group has been aware, as from the fourth quarter of 2020, of the
information elements arising from such rule and related to the measurement of riskiness of its portfolio, also in consideration of the provisions of
IFRS9 principle (related to the expected downgrade of the debtor), it decided to recognise impairment losses consistent with this information for the
aforementioned amount of €535 million (of which €366 million relating to Unicredit S.p.A).
Furthermore, it is worth recalling that already during the 2019 financial year, the Strategic Plan 2020-2023 (Team 23), completing what had already
been defined in the context of the previous Plan 2016-2019 (Transform 2019), had strengthened the strategy to reduce impaired credit exposures by
envisaging the total “rundown” of the “Non Core” portfolio (a portfolio of Italian credit impaired exposures toward costumers held by UniCredit S.p.A.
and by UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., for which the management, since 2014, has been separated from the management of other exposures with the aim
to reduce the non-strategic credit exposures) by the end of 2021.
In December 2020, the Group updated its disposal plan 2021-2023 providing, in addition to the total rundown of the “Non Core” portfolio, also the
disposal of non-performing exposures belonging to the “Core” perimeter (with a gross book value of €2.6 billion at 31 December 2020, entirely
attributable to UniCredit S.p.A.), for whom recovery through Work-Out was previously foreseen.
This led to the recognition of loan loss provisions amounting to €502 million (of which €473 million related to UniCredit S.p.A.), of which €453 million
related to the "Core" portfolio (entirely attributable to UniCredit S.p.A), and €49 million related to the "Non Core" portfolio (€20 million related to
UniCredit S.p.A.).
With regard to the above-mentioned aspects, the Board of Statutory Auditors has carried out the necessary in-depth analyses with the relevant
Functions and with the External Auditors. It is worth pointing out that the measurement is affected by the already mentioned degree of uncertainty on
the evolution of the pandemic, the effect of the relief measures and, ultimately, the existence and degree of economic recovery.
The evolution of these factors may, indeed, require in future financial years the classification of additional credit exposures as non-performing thus
determining the recognition of additional loan loss provisions related to both these exposures as well as performing exposures following the update
in credit parameters.
In this context it will be relevant, among other factors, the ability of the customers to service their debt once moratoria measures adopted by the
Governments of the countries where the Group operates or voluntarily by the Group’s banks themselves, will expire.
Conversion of Deferred tax assets (DTAs) into tax credits
Referring to financial year 2019, UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. registered a loss in their separate financial statements; therefore,
there were the conditions for carrying out a new transformation of DTAs into tax credits pursuant to Art.2, paragraph 55, of Law Decree
No.225/2010. Following their separate financial statements approval, UniCredit S.p.A. converted €86.9 million of DTAs into tax credit while UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. converted €12.9 million.
Following the Covid-19 emergency, Decree Law No.18/2020 (so-called “'Cura Italia”) was also introduced, providing special measures to mitigate
the effects of Covid-19 for taxpayers. In particular, the Art.55, on the basis of the disposal of non-performing loans to legal entities not belonging to
the Group carried out in 2020, gives the possibility to convert into tax credits components previously not admitted, specifically the DTAs on Tax
Losses Carried Forward (TCLF) and excess related to the “Aiuto alla Crescita Economica” (ACE) even if these DTAs are not recognised in the
financial statements. Pursuant to the mentioned Law Decree, €110 million of DTAs were converted into tax credits during 2020.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 713
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
In order to preserve for the future the regime of conversion of DTAs into tax credits, and in order to overcome the issues raised by the European
Commission in connection to the application of State aid rules, Art.11 of Law Decree No.59/2016, converted into Law No.119/2016 (as modified by
Law Decree No.237/2016, converted into Law No.15/2017), provides for the possibility, starting from 2016 till 2030, to elect for the payment of an
annual fee equal to 1.5% of an aggregate amount deriving from the difference between:
• the increase in convertible DTAs recognised at the end of the fiscal year and the convertible DTAs existing as at the end of 2007, for IRES tax,
and as at the end of 2012 for IRAP tax, taking into account the amounts already converted into tax credits (including those carried out pursuant to
Art.55 of Law Decree “Cura Italia”);
• taxes:
- IRES paid by tax group starting from 1 January 2008;
- IRAP paid registered starting from 1 January 2013 by Legal Entities included in Tax Group with convertible DTAs;
- substitute taxes that generated convertible DTAs.
The fee due for financial year 2020 has been paid on 26 June 2020 for an overall amount of €111.7 million relating to the whole Italian Tax Group, of
which €107.1 million for UniCredit S.p.A., €4.3 million for UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and €0.3 million for UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.
The financial statement report contains detailed information on any liabilities and costs that may arise from pending legal proceedings.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, together with the relevant Functions of the Bank, has examined in detail the methodology and process adopted in
the analysis of litigation, and in the analysis and assessment of provisions for risks and charges, and has requested to be periodically and
promptly updated on the evolution of the main situations.
To provide for possible liabilities and costs that may result from pending legal proceedings (excluding labour law and tax cases), as at 31 December
2020, UniCredit group set aside a provision for risks and charges of €655.9 million, of which €370.7 million for the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
Specifically, the financial statements report provide information about matters related to financial sanctions for which, following the settlement
agreement concluded in April 2019 with the US and New York Authorities, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A, UniCredit Bank AG (“UCB AG”) and
UniCredit Bank Austria (“UCB Austria”) have implemented additional requirements and controls, about which the banks make periodic reports to the
Authorities.
The Notes to the consolidated accounts also update on the proceedings relating to:
• Squeeze-Out of UCB AG and UCB Austria’s former minority shareholders (Appraisal Proceeding). In 2008, approximately 300 former minority
shareholders of UCB AG filed a request before the District Court of Munich to have a review of the price paid to them by the parent company
UniCredit S.p.A., equal to €38.26 per share, in the context of the squeeze out of minority shareholders (Appraisal Proceeding). The dispute mainly
concerns the valuation of UCB AG, which is the basis for the calculation of the price to be paid to the former minority shareholders. At present, the
proceeding is pending in the first instance. With reference to UCB Austria, in 2008, approximately 70 former minority shareholders of UCB Austria
commenced proceedings before the Commercial Court of Vienna claiming that the squeeze-out price paid to them, equal to €129.4 per share, was
inadequate, and asking the court to review the adequacy of the amount paid (Appraisal Proceeding). At present the proceeding is pending in the
first instance.
• Euro-denominated bonds issued by EU Countries; on 31 January 2019, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG received a
“Statement of Objections” from the European Commission referring to the investigation by the European Commission of a suspected violation of
antitrust rules in relation to European government bonds. The subject matter of the investigation extends to certain periods from 2007 to 2012 and
includes alleged activities by UCB AG in a part of this period. The “Statement of Objections” does not prejudge the outcome of the proceeding;
should the European Commission conclude that there is sufficient evidence of an infringement, a decision prohibiting the conduct and imposing a
fine could be adopted, with any fine subject to a statutory maximum of 10% of the company’s annual worldwide turnover. The parent company
UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG had access to the entirety of the European Commission’s file on the investigation from 15 February 2019, onwards.
As a result of the assessment of the files, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG regard it no longer remote but possible, even though
not likely, that a cash outflow might be required to fulfil a potential fine arising from the outcome of the investigation. Based on the current
information, it is not possible to estimate reliably the amount of any potential fine. The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG have
responded to the raised objections on 29 April 2019 and participated in a hearing before the European Commission on 22-24 October 2019.
Proceedings are ongoing.
There is no legal deadline for the European Commission to complete antitrust inquiries within set deadlines; in March 2021 the Board of Statutory
Auditors was informed by the competent Functions that a meeting (so-called “State of Play”) with the European Commission would be held within
the same month, aimed at sharing among the parties the points of view acquired during the proceedings and informing on the status of the same.
• On 11 June 2019, UCB AG and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC were named, among other financial institutions, as defendants in a putative class
action already pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The third amended class action complaint, filed on
3 December 2019, alleges a conspiracy among dealers of Euro-denominated bonds issued by European central banks to fix and manipulate the
prices of those bonds, among other things by widening the bid-ask spreads they quoted to customers. The putative class consists of those who
purchased or sold Euro-denominated bonds issued by European central banks in the US between 2007 and 2012. At present, the third amended
class action complaint does not include a quantification of damages claimed. On 23 July 2020, the court granted motions to dismiss the third
amended complaint by certain defendants, including UCB AG and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC, without prejudice. Plaintiffs filed their fourth
amended class action complaint on 9 February 2021, repleading their claim against UCB AG and UniCredit Capital Markets LLC and other

financial institutions. Like earlier pleadings, the fourth amended class action complaint does not include a quantification of damages claimed.
Exchange of correspondence concerning motions to dismiss will begin, as so far established, in March 2021.
In the financial statements report, the Directors inform about the proceedings related to certain forms of banking transactions with customers that do
not specifically concern the UniCredit group but involve the financial system as a whole.
The proceedings pertaining to compound interest mainly involve damages requests from clients arising from the alleged unlawfulness of the
calculation methods of the amount of interest payable in connection with certain banking contracts.
As of 31 December 2020, the total claimed amount against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. was equal to €1.1 million, mediations included.
At present, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. has made provisions that it deems appropriate for the risks associated with these claims.
With regard to the litigation connected to derivative products, for which, as at 31 December 2020, the claimed amount against the parent company
UniCredit S.p.A. was €744 million, mediations included, the Directors report that several financial institutions, including UniCredit group companies,
entered into a number of derivative contracts, both with institutional and non-institutional investors. In Germany and in Italy there are a number of
pending proceedings against certain Group companies that relate to derivative contracts concluded by both institutional and non-institutional
investors. The filing of such litigations affects the financial sector generally and is not specific to the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and its Group
companies. At present, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and the involved Group companies have made provisions deemed appropriate, based
on the best estimate of the impact which might derive from such proceedings.
With respect to proceedings relating to foreign currency loans, in the last decade, a significant number of customers in the Central and Eastern
Europe area took out loans and mortgages denominated in a foreign currency (“FX”). In a number of instances customers, or consumer associations
acting on their behalf, have sought to renegotiate the terms of such FX loans and mortgages, including the possibility that the principal and
associated interest payments related to the loan redenominated in the local currency at the time that the loan was taken out, and floating rates
retrospectively changed to fixed rates. In addition, in a number of countries legislation that impacts FX loans was proposed or implemented. These
developments resulted in litigation against subsidiaries of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in a number of CEE countries including Croatia,
Slovenia and Serbia.
In 2019 the Supreme Court in Croatia ruled that the Swiss franc (CHF) currency clause was invalid. In the course of 2019, court decisions, recent
court practice related to FX matter along with the expiration of the statute of limitation for filing individual lawsuits in respect to invalidity of the
interest rate clause, led to a significant increase in number of new lawsuits against Zagrebačka Banka (“Zaba”).In March 2020, the Supreme Court
ruled that agreements entered into following the Conversion Amendments whereby customers converted their CHF mortgages and/or loans into
EUR are valid and accordingly no additional payments are due. In October 2020 the Supreme Court, as well as one additional lower court,
approached the European Court of Justice with a request for preliminary ruling asking for an interpretation on the applicability of the Directive on
unfair terms in consumer contracts and consequently whether a consumer who converted its loan in accordance with the terms of the of the
Conversion Amendments is entitled to additional payments. The matter of the validity of the FX clauses contained in mortgages and loan
documentation is still pending before the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia. The Directors report that appropriate provisions have been
booked.
Within the diversification of investments to which the available assets are addressed and also considering in this context those investments with the
characteristics of the so-called “safe haven” with a long-term horizon, several UniCredit S.p.A.’s customers have historically invested in diamonds
through a specialised intermediary company, with which the Bank has stipulated, since 1998, a collaboration agreement as “Introducer”, in order to
regulate the “reporting” methods of the offer of diamonds by the same company to UniCredit customers.
As reported in the financial statement report, since the end of 2016, the liquidity available on the market to meet the requests of customers who
intended to divest their diamond assets has contracted to a certain extent until it became nil, with the suspension of the service by the brokerage
company.
Already starting from 2017 UniCredit S.p.A. started a “customer care” initiative which envisaged the availability of the Bank to intervene for the
acknowledgement towards the customer of the original cost incurred for the purchase of precious items and the consequent withdrawal of the
stones.
The initiative has been adopted assessing the absence of responsibility for its role as “Introducer”; nevertheless, the AGCM (Italian Competition and
Market Authority) ascertained UniCredit’s responsibility for unfair commercial practice (confirmed in appeal by the Administrative Regional Court in
the second half of 2018), imposing, in 2017, a fine of €4 million paid in the same year. UniCredit has filed an appeal against this decision to the
Council of State and the proceedings are pending. On 8 March 2018, a specific communication was issued from Banca d’Italia concerning the
“Related activities exercisable by banks”, in which large attention was given to the reporting at the bank branches of operations, purchase and sale
of diamonds by specialised third-party companies.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 715
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
As at 31 December 2020, UniCredit S.p.A:
• received reimbursement requests for a total amount of about €404 million (cost originally incurred by the Clients) from No.11,975 Customers;
according to a preliminary analysis, such requests fulfill the requirements envisaged by the “customer care” initiative; the finalisation of the
reimbursement requests is currently carried out, aimed at assessing their effective compliance with the “customer care” initiative, and then proceed
with the settlement where conditions recur;
• with reference to the scope outlined in the previous point (€404 million approximately), reimbursed No.8,031 customers for about €302 million
(equivalent value of original purchases), equal to about 75% of the reimbursement requests said above.
In order to cope with the probable risks of loss related to the repurchases of diamonds, a dedicated Risk and Charges Fund was set up; its
quantification was also based on the outcome of an independent study (commissioned to a primary third company) aiming at evaluating the
diamonds’ value.
Finally, the gems purchased are recognised for about €73 million in item ”130. Other assets” of the balance sheet. This value is consistent with the
main parameters of the reference market, and also reflects the likely effects associated with the liquidity crisis in the sector, heavily affected by the
Covid-19 outbreak which characterised the economic scenario in 2020.
On 19 February 2019, the judge in charge of the preliminary investigation at the Court of Milan issued an interim seizure directed to UniCredit and
other financial institutions aimed at: (i) direct confiscation of the amount of €33 million against UniCredit for the offence of aggravated fraud and (ii)
indirect as well as direct confiscation of the amount of €72 thousand for the offence of self-laundering against UniCredit, assuming the administrative
liability of UniCredit S.p.A. pursuant to article25 octies of Legislative Decree 231/2001 for the crime of self-laundering.
On 2 October 2019, the Bank and certain individuals received the notice of conclusion of the investigations pursuant to article415-bis of the Italian
Code of criminal procedure. The notice confirmed the involvement of certain current and former employees for the offence of aggravated fraud and
self-laundering. With regard to the latter, self-laundering serves as a predicate crime for the administrative liability of the Bank under Legislative
Decree No.231/2001.
In September 2020, a new notice pursuant to article415-bis of the Italian code of criminal procedure was served on certain individuals already
involved in the proceedings.
The allegations against the UniCredit individuals only pertain to the offence of fraud. Such new allegations do not modify the overall investigative
framework as per the notice served in the autumn of 2019.
Following the notification of the notices pursuant to article415-bis, if the Public Prosecutor determines to request the indictment for all or part of the
subjects involved, the preliminary hearing phase will take place. With regard to this matter, the Board of Statutory Auditors, acting as Supervisory
Body 231, has followed, and will continue to follow, the evolution of the matter in close coordination with the Functions and with the external legal
advisor.
With regard to other claims by customer, the Compliance Function, supporting the business structures oversees the regulatory environment
evolution relating to banking services and products in areas like transparency, financial and investment services and anti-usury. Compliance, as
control Function, develops rules, checks processes and procedures and monitors complaints trends. The Compliance Function, along with the Legal
one, also supports analysis and evaluation stages of adequacy of potential “customer care” actions or other initiatives designed to compose
particular situations in which UniCredit S.p.A. might be involved in order to define them.
Considering the regulatory complexity and interpretations not always homogeneous, UniCredit S.p.A. time-to-time assesses the accounting of
provisions for risk and charges, aimed at facing costs, deemed probable, in a contest that has increased the litigiousness at baking system level.
Concerning the financing of consumer credit, the EU Directive 2008/48 establishes that “the consumer shall be entitled at any time to discharge
fully or partially his obligations under a credit agreement. In such cases, he shall be entitled to a reduction in the total cost of credit, such reduction
consisting of the interest and the costs for the remaining duration of the contract”. Following the decision of the European Court of Justice in
September 2019 (judgment C-383/18 referring to the “Lexitor” case) and the communication of the Banca d’Italia issued in December 2020,
UniCredit S.p.A. proceeded to adapt to the most recent interpretation of this legislation. Therefore, in the event of a request for early repayment of
the loan, the consumer is entitled to pay off his debt net of costs not yet accrued on the repayment date.
In consideration of the above, as well as the interpretations prior to the aforementioned communication of the Banca d’Italia, the Bank noted the
guidelines issued by the Authority adapting to the framework outlined, and has carried out the appropriate assessments, also to preserve the quality
of the customers relationship.
The Notes to the consolidated accounts also include information on the provision for tax risks for risks arising from tax disputes and risks arising
from labour lawsuits.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
8. Oversight of the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system
The internal control system in the UniCredit group is based on:
• Control bodies and functions which involve, each for their respective remits, the Board of Directors, the Internal Controls & Risks Committee
(IC&RC), the Chief Executive Officer as Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors, as
well as the company Functions with specific duties in this regard;
• information flows and methods of coordination between the parties involved in the internal control and risk management system;
• Group Governance mechanisms.
As indicated in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures, the types of control in UniCredit, in compliance with current
legislation and inspired by international best practices, are structured on three levels:
• line controls (known as first-level controls), handled by the corporate Functions responsible for the business/operating activities, as well as with
regard to UniCredit S.p.A, a dedicated structure (Internal Controls Italy merged, during 2020, into Italian Commercial Banking Processes), which
supports the Co-CEOs Commercial Banking Italy as system managers of first-level operational controls, with reference to the relevant
structures/activities;
• controls on risks and compliance (known as second-level controls), handled by the Group Compliance and Group Risk Management Functions,
each for the matters within their respective remit;
• internal audit (known as third-level controls), handled by the Internal Audit Function.
Pursuant to Circular No.285/2013 of Banca d’Italia, the Anti-Money Laundering Function and the Internal Validation Function are also included in the
corporate control Functions, respectively positioned within Group Compliance and Group Risk Management.
During the period under examination, the Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledges having carried out a periodic exchange of relevant information
with the aforementioned Control Functions. It also acknowledges that the aforementioned Control Functions have fulfilled the related disclosure
obligations towards the BoSA. Moreover, in order to guarantee a continuous and timely flow of information with Internal Audit, the Head of the
Function has a standing invitation to the Board of Statutory Auditors meetings.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also held several meetings with the Head of the Finance & Controls Area, a new area set up in 2020, thus further
increasing the information flow on internal control and risk issues focusing on areas of attention emerging from time to time.
On the basis of the information acquired and included in the 2020 Report (Integrated Audit Report) of the Internal Audit Function, the internal
control system was rated by the same overall as “mostly satisfactory”, (confirming the same rating referred to the previous period), in light of the
stable trend of audit analysis process with negative results, the reduction of the findings issued by the Supervisory Authorities, the prompt
managerial response to Flash Audits (new type of audit analysis carried out during the emergency period), and the maintenance of a strong focus
and a strict discipline on the completion of remedial actions, with reference to both audit findings and those of the Authorities.
In the period under examination, the Board of Statutory Auditors received and discussed, with the Internal Audit Department, several Audit Reports
and some special investigations. In the cases of “unsatisfactory” or “partially satisfactory” audit reports, the Board of Statutory Auditors asked to be
kept up-to-date about the implementation of the Remediation Plans and, where appropriate, has called upon the Managers of the concerned areas,
in order to discuss the audit results and the related Remediation Plans directly.
Generally, the most important issues at Group level were Compliance - AML (Anti-money laundering) (see also “Compliance risk” below) and ITC
security risks, for which the Bank and the Group, compared to previous years, further increase their levels of risk management application
standards, and for which improvements were in any case noted. Focus remains on the Parent Company's coordination role with regard to smaller
subsidiaries and foreign branches, where the overall assessment of the internal control system is affected by necessary adjustments in terms of
AML, ICT and operational risks; the completion of the implementation of remedial actions is planned by 2021.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has examined and formulated its own recommendations on all the aforementioned issues.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has examined in detail the underlying root causes and examined the detailed remedial plans defined and launched
by Management, whose execution it regularly monitors, also calling the Parent company’s central structures to a strong focus on steering and
control, in all Group companies.
With reference to the report “Outsourcing of activities” prepared by the Internal Audit Function in compliance with the requirements of Banca
d’Italia (Circular No.285/2013), the Board of Statutory Auditors was able to note - in relation to Outsourcers -, the adequacy of the reference
framework, as confirmed both by the audits carried out during 2020 and by the overcoming of the significant critical issues previously identified.
Furthermore, the monitoring of security and non-compliance risks has been enhanced, as recommended by Internal Audit itself. At process level,
internal regulations have been recently revised and aligned with the TPRM, Third-Party Risk Management Methodology, defined in 2020, in order to
ensure a homogeneous and consistent approach towards providers. With reference to Third Parties (other than Outsourcers), the implementation of
the new Group Rules - aimed at managing the lifecycle of non-outsourcing activities - issued at the end of 2020 will be closely monitored, and their
effective adoption is expected to be gradually implemented in the Group by 2021.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The results of the audit activity expressed in the “Annual Internal Audit Report” on the provision of investment services (“MiFID” Report, Art.14
Bank d’Italia/CONSOB Joint Regulation of 29 October 2007, and CONSOB Resolution No.17297 dated 28 April 2010), have confirmed an overall
assessment of “mostly satisfactory” for the internal control system for 2020.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the during 2020, the actions to strengthen the “customer documentation management”, mainly related to
the new dematerialisation process, were postponed from the third four-month period of 2020 to April 2021. Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors
noted the results of two process audits carried out in 2020 relating to “Best execution” and “Distribution of listed derivatives” and the related
managerial remedial actions.
Credit, counterparty, market, operational risk management
With regard to credit risk management, the Internal Audit assessment is confirmed “mostly satisfactory” for the main Group Companies.
As regards UniCredit S.p.A., positive results were observed mainly in collateral management and automated underwriting; however, the overall
rating remains “partially satisfactory” in view of the need to: (i) strengthen the steering of automated underwriting; (ii) improve the first and second-
level controls; (iii) strengthen the forbearance process; (iv) remedy previous operational deficiencies; (v) improve the proper functioning of Group
Wide Rating Systems.
The Board of Statutory Auditors closely monitored the development of the situation related to the health emergency caused by COVID-19, acquiring
information about the impacts for UniCredit, focusing on credit risk. To this aim, the BoSA, in the framework of its supervisory activities, carried out a
careful examination of the data provided, as well as the initiatives and actions implemented by UniCredit in response to the emergency situation,
meeting the Heads of the Functions involved and continuously monitoring the implementation of the measures adopted by the Management, inter
alia, focusing on: framework strengthening and results achieved in credit loans backed by Government guarantees, results of the ad hoc controls put
in place; Risk Appetite Statement review; performance of RAF KPIs and Loan Loss Provisions; Credit Risk Strategies review; updating of Group
Lending Principles and EAD (Exposure at Default) limits by industry; Shield project and review of the monitoring framework; automatization of the
asset sale process, pro-active portfolio management and strengthening of NPEs monitoring; business automation, strengthening of controls and
unique factory for public guarantees.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has also closely monitored the effective managerial responses in the credit area in terms of coordination and
steering of the Group with reference to: (i) the pandemic context, (ii) the responses following ECB’s communication to Significant Institutions dated 4
December 2020, (iii) the positive evolution of the GLO (Group Lending Office) Function specifically with regard to guidelines, refocusing and
strengthening of resources, strengthening of the credit processes control framework, increasing proximity to the business and cooperation with the
GRM Function.
With reference to Internal Models, during the course of its supervisory activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors has positively noted, through the
necessary updates with the relevant Functions, despite the difficulties related to the pandemic context:
• all development and validation activities envisaged by the IRB Model Roadmap continued in line with the scheduled timing, although with
appropriate re-prioritisation and temporal shifts, also in relation to the lengthening of the approval process by the Regulator ECB;
• all models submitted to the Regulator’s assessment were deemed by Group Internal Validation (GRM - Group Risk Management) to be adequate
to resolve the issues previously identified;
• during 2020, model maintenance activities ensured the compliance of internal models with the “New Definition of Default” and the EBA Guidelines.
The Board of Statutory Auditor has therefore noted and appreciated the considerable commitment and discipline shown by the Management and the
relevant Functions in the implementation of the IRB Model Road Map.
With regard to the credit risk (IRB Systems), the assessments of the Internal Validation and Internal Audit Function agree that the IRB systems are
compliant with regulatory requirements. The Board of Statutory Auditors has noted, however, that Internal Audit’s evaluation remains “partially
satisfactory”, mainly due to the persistent weaknesses in the Group Wide Models currently in production, where mitigating actions have been put in
place with dedicated “Margins of conservativeness”, as well as weaknesses in some local models.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also considers it necessary to bear in mind the matters reported by Internal Audit in relation to the persistence of
high execution risk of the IRB Model Roadmap, exacerbated by the pandemic, as well as the implementation of quantification activities for the “New
Definition of Default”.
The evaluations of the Validation Function with regard to counterparty credit risk (“adequate”), market risk (“adequate”) and operational risk
(“fully adequate”) meet the Internal Audit evaluations (“mostly satisfactory”), considering the relevant system to be overall compliant with the
regulatory provisions.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that Internal Audit Function, at the end of its annual audit on GIV-Group Internal Validation, confirmed the
“satisfactory” rating, specifically due to the completeness and adequacy of governance, the satisfactory assessment of the validation framework and
the adequate execution of Credit Risk Validation activities. The organisational set-up of the Validation Function framework is considered adequate
and effective in ensuring steering also at local level.
The Board of Auditors examined, inter alia, the following audit reports with a “satisfactory” rating:
• “Public Guarantees Management Process”;
• “Changes in credit risk origination and monitoring processes due to Covid-19”;
• “Collaterals and Guarantees – Origination, Monitoring and Liquidation”.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors has also taken note of the “mostly satisfactory” assessment carried out by the Internal Audit Function at UniCredit
S.p.A., and in the main Group companies with regard to the Risk Management Functions, on the basis of the overall adequacy in the identification,
measurement and management of Group risks.
On 5 March 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors issued its positive opinion for the certification by the Board of Directors of the existence of the
requirements for using the Group’s credit, counterparty, market and operational risk management, measurement and control systems.
Liquidity risk
In the context of the initiatives and actions concerning the liquidity monitoring procedures, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted the review of the
“Global Policy - Contingency Liquidity Management”, approved by the Board of Directors in March 2020, by which some inefficiencies on liquidity
contingency management procedures, emerged during the dry run exercise, on which the policy has been submitted in December 2019, upon a
recommendation of ECB and Internal Audit Function, were adjusted; the review includes the definition of a crisis management procedure in the
absence of the CEO; the streamlining and acceleration of the decision-making process and the provision of an updated minimum set of documents
to be discussed in the different contingency phases.
Furthermore, in November 2020, the new version of the “Global Policy on Liquidity Management and Control” was approved, with the aim of
updating the intra-group liquidity management strategy by closing some gaps identified during past year ILAAP process, as well as to reflect updated
practices in Group Liquidity Management. The new policy version, in confirming the self-sufficiency principle for the intra-group liquidity management
strategy, formalizes the exception related to the internal MREL, according to the “Single Point of Entry” regime adopted by the Group in relation to
Resolution matter.
As part of its control activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors has continuously monitored the evolution of the Group’s liquidity situation, also in
relation to the potential impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, by meeting the relevant Functions and receiving information on:
• the trend of liquidity indicators, initiatives and activities that have characterised the management of contingency measures in the liquidity area;
• the updates on the TLTRO (Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations) Strategy;
• the results of the ILAAP 2019 process (Group Internal Liquidity Capital Adequacy Assessment Process), for which the GRM’s evaluation has
improved to “mostly adequate”, and the results of the related Internal Audit activities have been rated “mostly satisfactory”;
• periodic reports on the results of the Group Risk Appetite Framework’ monitoring and the evolution of the Integrated Risk Profile;
• the results of the audit report “Contingency Liquidity Management”, issued by Internal Audit and rated “satisfactory”, due to the adequacy of
governance and organisational set-up, the proper execution of tasks related to the Funding Plan and the adequacy of second-level controls.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that, despite the lack of forthcoming risks, in compliance with Group Policy, the Bank has been monitoring the
liquidity situation more closely since the early phases of the pandemic, and finally observed that, in 2020, the main structural and short-term liquidity
indicators remained above the limits set by the Risk Appetite Framework.
Compliance risk
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors received the ICR (Integrated Compliance Report) report on a quarterly basis, and took note of the
Compliance Function’s Annual Report, which includes the assessments made regarding potential compliance risks, at Group level, with reference
to both Italian-registered companies, including UniCredit S.p.A., and the main foreign companies.
The aforementioned Report also fulfils the requirements of CONSOB Regulation No.20307/2018 and article89 of CONSOB Regulation
No.20197/2017.
Taking into account the results of the compliance risk assessment and second-level controls carried out, and the activities completed in accordance
with the 2020 Compliance Plan, the Compliance Function expressed a “mostly satisfactory” evaluation on the management of the non-compliance
risk, for UniCredit S.p.A. and the main Group companies. In some smaller Group companies, for which the evaluation remains “partially satisfactory”,
the weaknesses detected, mainly in the AML area, have been addressed through targeted remedial actions (target and tactical).
Such actions will be part of a wider “remediation plan” to be defined by June 2021, as a result of the ongoing assessment on Compliance risk
Management Framework conducted by an external consultant as recommended by ECB.
The BoSA will carefully monitor such activity, also requesting to meet with the above-mentioned external consultant, and believes that this project
represents an opportunity for material advancement in the Group’s approach to compliance, which should not be limited to specific Functions but
should involve all levels, starting with first-level controls, especially in terms of effectiveness, culture and awareness in relation to compliance risk.
The BoSA deems necessary that UniCredit Management takes a massive and cross commitment to reinforce the compliance culture and to address
an even more appropriate awareness – in primis among the Top Management - throughout the Group’s perimeter.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The BoSA was informed about the direct activities carried out by UniCredit S.p.A.'s Compliance Department on the Group’s minor LEs, in terms of
governance strengthening, exercised by means of three main levers: i) on-site controls; ii) periodic calls; iii) second-level controls and Compliance
Risk Assessment. The BoSA also requested and received, during the period, a specific presentation entitled “Lessons learned from Group driven
Anti-Financial Crime reviews”, which has led to an increasingly effective strengthening of steering activities by the Group’s Central Compliance
Functions.
The Board of Statutory Auditors analysed the contents of the “Report on the Overall State of Complaints received by UniCredit S.p.A. in 2020”
submitted to the Board of Directors on 5 March 2021, which highlights, with reference to UniCredit S.p.A., a number of written complaints received in
2020 amounting to No.61,868 (No.48,542 net of responses, an increase of 25% compared to 2019).
The main reasons for the complaints received related to the following issues: the Covid-19 health emergency (10% of complaints received, which
particularly impacted generic complaints, as well as complaints on mortgages and loans, especially housing mortgages), Salary-backed loans (i.e.
Cessioni del quinto dello stipendio-CQS, 28% of complaints received), and cards (8% of complaints received). In detail, starting from March 2020,
complaints specifically related to the Covid-19 emergency have been identified through flags in the complaints register, which has led to the
identification of No.6,013 complaints, including responses, of which No.3,575 relating to requests pertaining to moratoriums and loans and No.2,438
relating to operational difficulties concerning the closure of branches.
With regard to reimbursements, complaints accepted with refund in 2020 represent 17% of all closed complaints (24% in 2019) and generated
disbursements for €49.7 million, (down 44% compared to 2019). The main reason for disbursements is represented by the reimbursements on
complaints regarding the Bank’s role as “Introducer” on the purchase of diamonds, amounting to €35.8 million in 2020, as a continuation of the
Customer Care initiative put in place by the Bank since 2017; as already indicated in paragraph 7, as at 31 December 2020 the Bank has
reimbursed customers (through the repurchase of stones) a total countervalue of approximately €302 million.
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors continued examining the issues relating to AML/FC (Anti-money laundering/Financial Crime) area,
requesting specific updates to the relevant Functions. Among these issues is worth mentioning the ATLAS Project, which involved some Group
Companies, and aimed at bringing all the initiatives of the AML area, under single governance, and at maintaining a close monitoring of the progress
of the planned actions, whose results have been submitted to the Board of Statutory Auditors on several occasions.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, in confirming its previous opinion, believes that the AML topic continues to represent a very significant risks area, in
relation to which the complexity of the phenomena to be controlled is growing (an example is represented by crypto-currencies), as well as the
attention of the Supervisory Authorities. The Board of Statutory Auditors invited the Management to keep such area under constant and strict
control, strengthening the appropriate activities, including steering being devoted to all Group companies, as well as the smaller ones and Foreign
Branches, considering the possible consequences also from a reputational point of view.
The Board of Statutory Auditors favorably noted the increased attention paid by the Management to such issue, characterised by an appropriate
tone at the top and several initiatives started in the period under examination, in order to which the BoSA will proceed to monitor implementation and
as well as the further strengthening, and recommended to keep strong and constant attention and commitment, due to the variability of the threats
posed by money laundering and terrorist financing.
The Board of Statutory Auditors therefore examined the “Report of the Anti-Money Laundering Function of UniCredit S.p.A. - Italian Perimeter -
Year 2020” submitted to the Board of Directors at the meeting held on 5 March 2021. The activities carried out for the self-assessment of the risks of
money laundering and terrorist financing have identified, with reference to 31 December 2020, a “Critical” residual risk level, managerially adjusted
to “Significant” as a result of the several structural mitigation elements implemented in 2020, including:
• strengthening of the catalog of second-level controls, thanks to the implementation of new and more granular controls (the increase in the number
of controls and the improved effectiveness led to an increase in negative results which were correctly reflected in the risk assessment
methodology; however, this made it possible to identify structural corrective actions whose final expected effect is a significant improvement in
residual risk levels);
• actions in progress to resolve findings highlighted by the Supervisory Authority, Internal Audit and the Compliance Function itself following the
performance of its controls;
• introduction, from January 2020, of a structured Risk Appetite Framework process that allows regular monitoring of AML risk indicators throughout
the Group.
The Board of Statutory Auditors observed that the transformation process of the organisational structure of UniCredit Anti-Money Laundering
Function – Italian Perimeter has been completed, with the constitution of two structures in place of the pre-existing “AML” Function (i) “AML”, with
the assignment of carrying out Anti-Money Laundering controls at Group level and (ii) “AML Italy and Network Controls”, with the assignment of
carrying out Anti-Money Laundering controls on the Italian Perimeter. The number of effective human resources (full time equivalent) assigned to the
structure is also adequate in relation to the newly acquired activities.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors was also informed about the analysis of the suspicious transaction reports (“SOS”), which confirmed in 2020 the
upward trend already seen in the SOS flow received in 2019 (compared to 2018). Indeed, the number of SOS received as at 31 December 2020
amounted to No.25,533 (+86% compared to No.13,726 in 2019) and the BoSA took note of the measures put in place to face such increase,
including the integration of the model for carrying out the SOS analysis activities approved by the Board of Directors, and the staffing strengthening
of the dedicated structures.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted the points of attention identified in the outcome of the second-level controls carried out in 2020, specifically in
the area of (i) review/renewal of the due diligence, in particular for counterparties subject to enhanced due diligence, (ii) collection and filing of
documentation and some information required in “Know Your Customer” activities, (iii) the effectiveness of certain rules for generating Transaction
Monitoring alerts, for whose mitigation specific actions have been activated. With reference to the resolution of the findings resulted during two
audits carried out in 2020, (i) “UniCredit S.p.A. - Global Audit - AML - Customer Due Diligence and Transaction Monitoring” (second wave), issued
with “overall rating” “Unsatisfactory”, and rating referred to the Italian perimeter “satisfactory” and (ii) “Network Audit - AML - Money transfer
transactions with non-banking entities” issued with “satisfactory” rating, the related actions are expected to be completed by October 2021.
At the meeting of the UniCredit Board of Directors held on 5 March 2021, the new version of the “Anti-Money Laundering Policy” was approved (as
required by the Banca d’Italia Provision “Provisions applicable to organizational, procedures and internal controls aimed at preventing the use of
intermediaries for the purposes of money laundering and terrorist financing” issued on 26 March 2019), which explains and indicates the choices that the
Bank has defined about the various relevant profiles regarding organisational structures, procedures and controls, due diligence and data retention.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors has taken note of the Anti-Money Laundering Training Plan 2021 - UniCredit S.p.A., which aims to
continuously mitigate the money laundering risks, diversifying training courses based on the specific activities identified, and to ensure the increase
of knowledge and skills of the relevant staff. The Training Plan provides for training courses modulated according to the different corporate roles and
the associated risks (basic, specialist and advanced training).
During the financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors has periodically examined the so-called “whistleblowing” reports it received in its function
as 231 Supervisory Body of UniCredit S.p.A., investigating, as the Board of Statutory Auditors, with the support of the Human Capital Function, the
whistleblowing reports that could give rise to issues of misconduct/unlawful conduct, regardless of their relevance pursuant to Legislative Decree
231/2001.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has therefore taken note of the information contained in the “Report on the internal system for reporting
violations (so-called whistleblowing) for 2020” , prepared in compliance with the Banca d’Italia's Supervisory Provisions (Circular No.285/2013
with reference to the proper functioning of the whistleblowing framework, with aggregate data on the investigation results, tools, communication
campaigns and training in UniCredit S.p.A. and at Group level.
The Board of Statutory Auditors welcomed the UniCredit Group’s continued work in promoting a corporate culture characterised by correct behavior,
and has shared and stressed, in several occasions, with the Management and the Human Capital Function the importance of paying the utmost
attention to the correctness of the behaviors assumed by the human resources in the Group. At the end of 2020, UniCredit Group launched, in the
main Legal Entities, the first specific mandatory whistleblowing online training (involving No.81,325 employees), with the aim to further promote the
knowledge on internal reporting channels and whistleblowers’ protection.
The reports received from the employees in 2020, decreased compared to the previous year presumably due to the new working methods (remote
working) put in place following Covid-19 pandemic, highlighted how Whistleblowing is becoming increasingly useful for reporting individual behaviors
and also for assessing processes. In addition, the Board of Statutory Advisors has learned that all the second-level compliance controls foreseen in
this regard have been carried out, and the results have not revealed any retaliation act against the parties involved in the process; the reports
received were timely handled and confidentiality safeguards were respected.
In 2021, the Board of Auditors will closely follow the actions aimed at:
• monitoring regulatory updates, related in particular to the transposition by member states of the European Directive EU/1937/2019 on the
protection of Whistleblowers, those with an impact on the Whistleblowing process (such as, for example, pronouncements relating to the General
Data Protection Regulation, so-called “GDPR”), as well as the upcoming issuance of the ISO 37002 standard for the certification of Whistleblowing
management systems;
• envisaging further development of initiatives aimed at increasing communication to all legal entities of best practices relating to the Whistleblowing
process;
• reviewing the whistleblowing process in the light of the changed operating context brought about by the pandemic situation, which affects the
normal course of investigation activities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has examined the information contained in the Report of the Data Protection Officer (DPO) of UniCredit S.p.A. for
the year 2020.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 721
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The DPO of Unicredit S.p.A. covers the role of DPO of the Companies of the Italian perimeter by virtue of an appointment by the respective Data
Controllers, and acts towards the Group Companies as Group DPO with a guiding and coordination role (also through the oversight of the DPOs of
the subsidiaries), in order to promote a uniform approach in the management of the issues related to the protection of personal data at local level,
and receiving periodical information flows.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the Group’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Project was concluded at the end of 2020, with
a uniform approach on all Group companies, focusing on the implementation of the requirement for the “Diritto all’oblio” (Right To Be Forgotten), on
the perimeter of IT applications defined as part of the original project; specifically, with reference to Unicredit S.p.A, the activities provided by the
Project plan on approximately 800 IT applications have been completed. In 2021, the activities related to the “Right to be forgotten” will continue with
ordinary management directly under the Business responsibility, and under the supervision of the DPO, on a total number of UniCredit S.p.A. IT
applications of around 90.
GDPR risk assessment activities for UC S.p.A. ended with a “significant” risk assessment, mainly due to the high level of “basic” risk factors (so-
called inherent risk) determined by factors related to UniCredit’s size and operations (e.g. number of subjects whose data are processed, type of
data processed, number of processes and procedures involved).
All corrective measures with a deadline identified during 2020, related to findings issued by Internal Audit Function, have been completed. Further
activities are to be completed with due date within the first quarter of 2021.
With regard to breaches (so-called data breaches), the Board of Statutory Auditors lastly noted the most significant cases identified during the year-
and subject of notification to the Personal Data Protection Authority - and has been informed that all the aforementioned events have been analysed
by the competent structures in order to assess any actions aimed at avoiding their repetition and, where necessary, to identify specific corrective
measures to be taken on the IT applications concerned.
No inspections involving UniCredit S.p.A. were carried out by the competent Supervisory Authority in 2020.
With regard to the provision of investment services and related controls, the Board of Statutory Auditors lastly examined the annual reports prepared
by the competent Functions:
• “MiFID” report (Art.13 Banca d’Italia/CONSOB Regulation of 29 October 2007, and CONSOB Resolution No.17297 of 28 April 2010) prepared by
Group Risk Management with reference to the controls carried out on the performance of investment activities;
• “Report on the procedures for the performance of services and investment activities”, as per CONSOB Resolution 17297 of 28 April 2010” and the
“Report on the Management of Conflicts of Interest (COI)”, prepared by the Compliance Function.
ICT Risk
In 2020, the Board of Statutory Auditors continued to focus its attention on the ICT Risk topic, meeting the relevant Functions at different times for
the necessary in-depth analysis and agreeing with the Chairman of the Internal Controls and Risks Committee (IC&RC) to periodically receive a
detailed presentation on ICT Security Update, to be submitted to both Bodies.
The BoSA examined the UniCredit Group ICT Strategy 2020-2023, acknowledging the strategic targets referred to ICT, built up on three pillars: (i)
modernizing the IT landscape; (ii) transforming the IT operational backbone; and (iii) strengthening the partnership between Business and IT. The
BoSA acknowledged that the Bank’s need to adapt its customer service to the rapidly evolving context has imposed, even though the ICT strategy
has not changed, changes in the priorities of some activities and initiatives in order to better support the business in the emergency phase, and to
prepare supporting the post-emergency phase (e.g. strong acceleration of the customer digitalization process already undertaken previously by
UniCredit).
The BoSA has required an in-depth analysis of the Group ICT Strategy - Internalization, upskilling and hiring plan update focusing on internalisation
and retraining process aimed at supporting the implementation of ICT strategic initiatives, through the acquisition and enhancement of internal skills;
the transformational skills required are structured on four pillars: IT security, software development, data management, Architecture & Service
Management. The BoSA noted the training courses for selected staff designed around on KPIs retraining, with the aim of increasing spending on
training, by 2023.
The BoSA received updates on ICT Security Incidents, KPIs update and New Security Operation Center (SOC), with further updates on to the SOC
evolution project, the centralised security unit responsible for monitoring, analysing and protecting against cyber- attacks.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
With regard to the Global Policy Third Parties Risk Management, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the contents of the review of the Global
Policy - Outsourcing/Insourcing and the new Global Policy - Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) for Non-Outsourcing arrangements, which
defines the TPRM framework, through which the Group manages the lifecycle of agreements with non-outsourcing third parties and the related risk.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also noted, inter alia, the positive results of the “Global Audit on adequateness of Security Governance for the
management of ICT risks - UniCredit S.p.A.”, issued with satisfactory rating, thanks to a series of progresses recorded, including (i) adequate
definition and implementation of an ICT security strategy in line with strategic ITC initiatives and business priorities; (ii) Group Chief Security Office
(GCSO) organizational structure in line with the Group Managerial Golden Rules provisions; (iii) effective execution of the “Cyber and Information
Security Culture” program, contributing to reinforce the ICT security staff sizing, competences and skills.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors received updates from the Independent Auditors’ experts on the audit activities related to the Bank's and the
Group’s information systems (ISAE 3402 Report E&Y), their design and operational effectiveness.
Operational Risk - Group Top Risks
The Board of Statutory Auditors took note of the update on the main operational risks identified for UniCredit Group by the three Control Functions;
the consolidated initiative, aimed at providing an integrated view of the activities related to the main operational risks, is based on a synergy among
the three Functions, providing for the mutual exchange of the results of the implemented activities, in order to benefit from the different approaches
to the issues.
In such context, the Board of Statutory Auditors observed that the Covid-19 pandemic has deeply changed the perception of the risk scenario
compared to the previous year, and that the risk areas identified with regard to UniCredit for 2021 (Frauds/Conduct; Data Protection Management &
Quality; Cyber; Regulatory; Operational Model Change; ICT Resilience; Physical Security & Safety; Third Parties & Outsourcing; Reputational/ESG),
to which the cross-cutting theme of the current and potential impact of the pandemic is added, reflect this new perception and outline new priorities.
The Board noted that, for each of the risk areas identified, UniCredit has defined the key priorities for the Control Functions and the first line of
defense, and recommended the Bank to continue with determination in the assessment and integrated monitoring of operational risk, in order to take
account of each new emerging risk that may potentially affect the Group, as well as the evolution of the pandemic situation, which might have an
impact on identified risk areas and lead to the need to promptly redefine the priorities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors was pleased to note that, in 2020, UniCredit adopted a structured process that continuously allows to identify
significant external events with potential impact on the Group, to assess the possible Group’s exposure to similar events, and to help define specific
action plans if necessary. The Board of Statutory Auditors hoped that this process will increasingly contribute to preventing and strengthening the
system of controls and awareness throughout the Group.
Lastly, the Board of Auditors observed the Annual Operational Risk Report 2020 and noted the overall decrease in gross losses related to
Operational Risk compared to the previous year, despite the impact of extraordinary expenses related to the pandemic emergency. Among the focus
points highlighted by GRM Function are the following: the extensive use of remote working and the progressive digitalisation of customer
relationships; internal and external fraudulent behavior; possible fraud perpetrated by organised crime within the framework of government funding
schemes, and risks related to external service providers and business partnerships.
Other risks – Main and emerging risks
In the context of a regulatory framework, and an external scenario constantly and rapidly evolving, the Board of Statutory Auditors has had the
opportunity to analyse some of the main features in terms of main and emerging risks, with the relevant Functions. Specifically:
The Covid-19 pandemic impact
After the arising of the pandemic in the early months of the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors has constantly monitored the evolution of the crisis
and noted the initiatives put in place by UniCredit to implement and constantly improve the preventive measures and guidelines to deal with the
Covid-19 emergency, with proactive management of the evolving situation in all dimensions of its risk profile.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has continuously acquired information on the potential impacts for UniCredit in relation to organisational,
commercial and risk profiles (focusing on credit risk), by periodically meeting the Heads of the Functions involved and continuously monitoring the
implementation of the measures adopted by Management. Specifically, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted with appreciation the efforts put in
place by Management to effectively address the significant challenges posed by the pandemic situation with regard to: the safety of customers and
employees, ICT operational efficiency and the acceleration of the banking services digitalisation; the management of public support measures in
favor of the economy; the credit framework strengthening and the review of related strategies.
The climate-related and environmental risks
Climate change-related risks (both physical and transition) and the accompanying shift towards sustainable finance are mounting challenges to the

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
In the context of an evolving regulatory framework that in 2020 put even more emphasis on the climate risk topic, the Board of Statutory Auditors
has positively observed that the Group aims to continue to proactively address these challenges by means of increased commitment to sustainability
and tangible initiatives aimed at improving the management of risks, to anticipate the possible increases in the riskiness of specific sectors and to
analyze the possible requests of the regulatory Authorities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also noted the gradual strengthening of the dedicated team within the Group Risk Management (GRM) function,
responsible for the supervision and management of issues related to climate change and environmental risks and UniCredit's approach to sensitive
sectors; the BoSA also took note of the definition of a dedicated internal methodology aimed at assessing Climate and Environmental exposure and
vulnerability of the lending portfolio and, with reference to physical risk, of the implementation of a preliminary estimation at Group level of potential
impact of some chronic (i.e. sea-level rise) and acute (i.e. landslides and flooding) hazards on the value of mortgage collaterals related to properties
located in the most exposed areas.
Cyber Security Risk
Along with the continuous digitalisation of banking services, that has been accelerated in light of the Covid-19 pandemic arising, both the financial
industry and its clients are increasingly exposed to cyber risks. This requires reinforced governance with a continuous strong focus on data
protection and cyber security. The impact of cyber risks can cause service interruptions, as well as the loss of integrity and availability of data and
information.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, considering that the Group have in the past years been subject to cyber-attacks which led, even though only in a
few limited cases, to the theft of data, carefully monitored the initiatives launched by the Management to address cyber risk and observed that
UniCredit continuously enhances its cyber security program aiming at further strengthening the security controls.
Other contributions
With reference to further reporting containing information on the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors has
noted that, at the date of the present Report, the assessments of the adequacy of the allocation of Group capital (ICAAP), referred to 2020, are
underway by the structures in charge, together with the assessment of the overall functionality of the Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment
Process (ILAAP), whose reports will be prepared within the set deadlines.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the “2020 Group ICS Management Evaluation Assessment” document, prepared by the Finance &
Controls Area, aimed at supporting the Board of Directors in assessing the completeness, adequacy, functionality and reliability of the Group Internal
Control System as a whole.
Based on the self-assessment carried out by the Management in 2020, the Group’s internal control system (No.22 companies subject to self-
assessment by the reference Management and No.15 Group’s Foreign Branches) was rated overall “mostly satisfactory”, in line with the
aforementioned rating expressed by the Internal Audit Function. Four companies were rated “partially satisfactory”, three of which were upgraded
compared to the previous year, largely due to improvements in the Compliance area. With regard to UniCredit S.p.A., the self-assessment confirmed
the “mostly satisfactory” rating.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, according to the assessment carried out in the course of its activities, has therefore noted the areas of attention
identified mainly relating to: Compliance Risk Management Framework, Internal Control Framework on credit activities, Cloud Adoption, and took
note of the initiatives adopted or being finalised, aimed at further strengthening the internal control and risk management system.
In conclusion, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not identify critical situations or facts that could make the internal control and risk management
system as a whole inadequate, even though situations that required the planning and addressing of specific corrective actions did emerge. Lastly,
the Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledges the even greater renewed reactivity and proactive nature of the Management in relation to the
operational definition and implementation of the actions in order to improve and remedy the detected weaknesses and shortcomings.
9. Oversight of the adequacy of the organisational structure
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the report prepared by the competent Group Human Capital structure which considers the organisational
structure of UniCredit S.p.A. to be adequate, by virtue of the robustness of the overall regulatory framework that ensures the uniqueness of the
system of responsibility and powers with reference to the bodies/committees and the corporate structures.
The Group organization reflects an organisational and business model functional to the identity of a commercial bank, ensuring the autonomy of its
Countries/local Banks in order to ensure increased proximity to the client and more efficient decision-making processes, while maintaining a
divisional structure for the governance of CIB (Corporate Investment Banking) business/products, and the governance of Commercial Banking
Western Europe and Central Eastern Europe business commercial banking, as well as global control over COO-Chief Operating Office, Finance and
Controls Area.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
With regard to the aforementioned organisational changes, the Board of Statutory Auditors emphasises that they constitute a prompt response to
business (including sustainable business with reference to ESG issues) and operational changes, as well as changes in the external context.
Specifically, the Board of Statutory Auditors highlights the intention of the Bank to further strengthen the governance of sustainability issues, thus, it
has been separated the management of sustainability initiatives from that of institutional and cultural initiatives in two different and specific areas of
competence.
The Board of Statutory Auditors considers the organisational structure of UniCredit S.p.A. to be adequate and will continue to monitor the adequacy
and effectiveness of its operations.
Steering activity
In the period, the BoSA paid specific attention to issues concerning the strengthening of the Parent company's steering activities, focusing on the
coordination, management and control of smaller Group Companies and foreign subsidiaries.
The Board of Statutory Auditors appreciated the effort and strong commitment of the Management and noted, during the period, the concrete actions
put in place as an effective development of what had been planned, hoping that the strong attention will be maintained in continuing to strengthen
the steering within the Group, an activity considered essential for proper management and defense, protection and monitoring of risks, including
reputational risks.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also believes it is important to continue reviewing the first-and second-level controls, aimed at harmonising the
global business approach to controls, in order to further strengthen risk awareness, reducing the compliance and operational risk, as well as the risk
of missing or incomplete oversight by the central Functions.
Suitability of Control Functions and Activity Plans
Internal Audit Function
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the 2020 Audit Plan of the Function, during the year, consistently reviewed, in order to take into account
the adjustments resulting from the context caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the 2021 Audit Plan approved by the Board of Directors in
January 2021.
The Audit Plan 2021 is part of the Long Term Audit Plan which, on an ongoing basis, is defined in order to determine the audit priorities of UniCredit
S.p.A. over a 5-year period, ensuring a proper coverage of the Bank’s processes mapped in the Audit Universe. Such Plan, together with the
Internal Audit Guidelines for 2021 communicated to Group Companies, reinforces, based on the professional judgement of Internal Audit, the
information relating to: i) the risk scenarios reported by external sources (EBA, ECB ); ii) the contribution of UniCredit S.p.A. Top Management; iii)
the findings and the indications of the Supervisory Authorities and External Auditors; iv) the top risk reported by the Internal Audit Function main
Group companies.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has positively acknowledged the new experiences gained by the Function during the year, which may also be
attributed to the prompt operating response implemented with the so-called “flash audits” carried out as a result of the remote working methods
induced by the Covid-19 pandemic, and has shared, among the positive elements, the quick closure of the audits, with fast feedback on the
problems detected, and the use of more streamlined internal working methods. The overall efficiency of the Function is increased by relying on a
number of levers, mainly the use of advanced data analytics.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has received updates on developments in terms of capacity, also with regard to the gaps identified and the program
already underway for their settlement, that the BoSA deems necessary to support and monitor. Based on the information acquired, the BoSA deems
the Function’s capacity in performing its duties to be adequate.
Group Risk Management
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the “GRM Activity Plan 2020: semiannual update”, noting the stage of completion of
activities in the plan, considering all the additional activities put in place as a result of the pandemic. The BoSA also reviewed the GRM Plan for
2021, consisting of three main areas: (i) strict monitoring of projects related to key GRM areas with specific attention to regulatory requirements; (ii)
strong focus on non-financial risk; (iii) EBA stress-test.
Based on the information acquired, the Board of Statutory Auditors considers the size and capacity of the GRM Function to be adequate for
achieving the objectives laid down in the 2021 Activity Plan.
Compliance Function
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the “Compliance Plan 2020 Reloaded”, which was reviewed in order to take into account
the adjustments resulting from the context caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Compliance Plan 2021 (approved by the Board of Directors in
February 2021).
The Plan is based, inter alia, on the following drivers: emerging risks coming from external events; risks detected by risk assessment process and
Quality Assurance carried out by Compliance; lessons learnt from common cases, including external ones. In terms of capacity, the Function was
reinforced in 2020 with the entry of staff coming from other structures, and responsible for carrying out key activities and controls, such as AML.
Further needs and adjustments in terms of staff might arise at the end of the ongoing assessment carried out by an external consultant (see also
paragraph 8 above).
Based on the information acquired, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems the Function’s capacity in performing its duties to be adequate.

Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors expressed its positive opinion to the Board of Directors about the managerial turnover in the role of Head of Internal
Audit and Head of Compliance as from 1 December 2020.
10. Remuneration policies
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the Board of Directors, in its meeting held on 5 March 2021, approved the document “2021 Group
Remuneration Policy and Report”, and the related Board of Directors’ Report to be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting. This document
defines the principles and standards used to design, implement, and monitor the Group’s remuneration systems, as part of the review of the Group’s
strategy described in the Team 23 new Strategic Plan.
The Board of Statutory Auditors took note of the report issued by the Internal Audit Function “2020 Remuneration Policies and Practices”, which
ends with the formulation of a “satisfactory” rating.
Lastly, in compliance with the current regulations, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined specifically the proposals for:
• Goal Setting 2021 for the Chief Executive Officer, the Manager in charge of preparing the Financial Reports, the Head of the Internal Audit
Function of UniCredit S.p.A.;
• Consensual exit agreement with the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Jean Pierre Mustier;
• New CEO compensation package;
• New Board and Committees compensation proposal;
and verified the correctness of the Bank’s adopted process and criteria, including the consistency with the relevant regulations, thus expressing its
positive opinions to the Board of Directors.
11. Non-Financial Statement
The Board of Statutory Auditors has taken note of the adherence to the highest standards of policies concerning ESG (Environmental, Social,
Governance) and of principles externally monitored and recognised, and the confirmation that ESG topics are considered by UniCredit to be an
indispensable and crucial aspect of long-term value creation.
UniCredit joined the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) in October 2019. The PRB Report providing information on the progress
made in implementing the Principles, was approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 5 March 2021, in addition to the Integrated
Report. With regard to climate change, a separate disclosure document in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) will be published in June 2021.
The Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledges the path undertaken since 2019 aimed at greater integration of different topics sustainability-related
into the Group’s corporate strategies, with initiatives strongly encouraged by the Corporate Governance, Nomination and Sustainability Committee
and the Board of Directors, including, for example, the introduction of ESG indicators in the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) related to the Top
Management (10% of variable remuneration is in fact based on the assessment of three indicators: ESG performance ranking assigned by an
external rating agency, employee engagement index, and customer satisfaction index).
The Board of Statutory Auditors has also noted the detailed policies concerning those sectors of relevance to UniCredit that are most exposed to
environmental and social risks; these policies are based on agreements, guidelines and standards (including the Performance Standards of the
International Finance Corporation, the World Bank Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines - EHS - and the UN Global Compact principles) as
well as other practices adopted by specific sectors. Internally adopted global policies include: “Non-Conventional Oil and Gas Industry Sector and Oil
and Gas in the Arctic Region” and “Coal Sector - Environmental, Social and Reputational Risk”' (reviewed in December 2020), which aim at defining
principles and rules for assessing environmental, social and reputational risk in the relevant sector.
In order to further strengthen the governance of sustainability issues, it has been separated the management of sustainability initiatives from that of
institutional and cultural initiatives in two different and specific areas of competence and therefore starting from the 1 July 2020, it has been set up -
as already mentioned in paragraph 9 - the "Group ESG Strategy & Impact Banking" structure, responsible for social and business initiatives at
Group and UniCredit S.p.A. level, Social Impact Banking activities and the development of the culture of solidarity within the Group. This function
ensures the integration of ESG priorities in the Bank’s strategy. It submits proposals, status and updates of the ESG strategy to the Corporate
Governance, Nomination & Sustainability Committee (CGN&SC) and the Executive Management Committee (“EMC”). Moreover, it ensures the
coordination in the implementation of the Principles for Responsible Banking - UNEP FI. The Head of this new structure reports to the Head of
Finance & Controls and sits on the Executive Management Committee (EMC). The Board of Statutory Auditors met with the Head of the new
function on several occasions and will continue to monitor the integration of ESG priorities into the strategy pursued by the Management.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, taken note of Italian Legislative Decree No.254/2016 on the disclosure of non-financial information and the
Implementing Regulation issued by Consob with a resolution dated 18 January 2018, No.20267, exercised its functions by supervising the
compliance with the provisions contained therein regarding the drafting of the non-financial statement (hereinafter referred to as “DNF”) as part of
the Integrated Financial Statements, approved by the Board of Directors on 5 March 2021.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors held several meetings with the Function responsible for drafting the DNF, the representatives of the appointed
External Auditors (Deloitte & Touche) and examined the documentation made available; the BoSA has noted the Assonime Circular No.13 dated 12
June 2017, a commentary on Italian Legislative Decree No.254/2016 and Legislative Decree No.4 dated 11 February 2019, (“News on non-financial
reporting”), noted the application of the Global Rule “Preparation of Non-Financial Information for the Integrated Report Production”, aimed at
defining roles, responsibilities, activities, controls and information flows of coordination between the Parent company and the Group's Companies
and structures.
The BoSA also acknowledged the report issued by the External Auditors on 9 March 2021, which states that no elements were received that would
suggest that the DNF of the UniCredit Group, with regard to the financial year ended on 31 December 2020, had not been drafted in all significant
aspects in compliance with the relevant regulations, and with the GRI Standards (“Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards”
defined by GRI - Global Reporting Initiative).
Based on the information acquired, the Board of Statutory Auditors certifies that, during its examination of the non-financial statement, elements of
non-compliance and/or violation of the relevant regulatory provisions have not come to its attention.
12. Additional activity by the Board of Statutory Auditors and information requested by Consob
In the performance of its duties, the Board of Statutory Auditors, as required by article2403 of the Italian Civil Code and article149 of Legislative
Decree 58/1998 (TUF):

consequently informed the Group Legal Function and CONSOB itself.
With the aim to continuously refining its functions, in compliance with the current regulatory framework and also in line with what discussed during
the meetings held with the ECB in the previous financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors followed up its program of meeting the Group’s main
LEs, as part of its supervisory and steering activity carried out by the parent company. To this end, the BoSA met the main company representatives
and the Top Management of UniCredit Bank AG in December 2020, and the Top Management of UniCredit Bank Austria AG in February 2021. The
meetings, which resulted in an exchange of information with the aim of an integrated governance, with particular reference to issues specific to the
Bank’s themselves, took place in an atmosphere of open discussion, wishing that this constructive opportunity might be organised every year on a

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
In response to the reports received, the Board of Statutory Auditors promptly carried out adequate in-depth investigations, gathering the information
necessary to examine and evaluate the cases submitted with the support of the Bank’s relevant Functions. The Board of Statutory Auditors, having

Functions. As outcome of the investigations carried out, no irregularities were detected that required reporting to the Shareholders’ Meeting.
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition to what has already been expressly stated in this Report, issued the opinions and
expressed the observations that the current regulations and supervisory provisions for banks assign to its responsibility.
Furthermore, the Board of Statutory Auditors reports that:
• it has taken note of the self-assessment required by the regulatory provisions, carried out by the Board of Directors in the meeting of 3 March
2020,
• it found that the criteria and procedures establishing the requirements of independence adopted by the Board of Directors for the annual
assessment of the independence of its members were correctly applied;
• it found that the Board of Directors carried out the verification of the positions held for the purposes of the interlocking prohibition pursuant to
article 36 of Italian Legislative Decree 201/2011;

Corporate Governance
The Board of Statutory Auditors of UniCredit S.p.A. operates within the framework of an integrated governance and of adequate and structured
internal corporate information flows. The BoSA took note of the information provided in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership
Structures, approved by the Board of Directors during the meeting held on 5 March 2021.
On 23 February 2021, the Board of Statutory Auditors completed the self-assessment process on the adequacy in terms of composition, correct and
effective functioning of the Body. The self-assessment process was carried out in compliance with the Regulations for Corporate Bodies and
Committees, adopted in compliance with the Supervisory Provisions on Corporate Governance for Banks and in compliance with the indications
contained in the document “Self-assessment of the Board of Statutory Auditors” issued by the National Council of Chartered Accountants and
Accounting Experts in May 2019.
The Board of Statutory Auditors carried out the self-assessment on its composition, considering it adequate, also in the light of its development over
time and the diversity in terms of skills, competences and expertise, as well as gender, which ensured the effective ongoing functioning of the Body.
In January 2020, the Corporate Governance Committee adopted a new version of the Corporate Governance Code, to be applied starting from
2021, with information on its implementation to be included in the corporate governance reports to be published during 2022.
Taking into account that 2021 will be the first year for the application of the new edition of the Code, the Corporate Governance Committee deemed
it opportune to reconsider all the recommendations provided over the last four years, by formulating certain specific indications for those areas of
improvement where significant shortcomings persist.
The key areas of improvement deemed to be functional to better implementing the new Code, as identified in the letter sent by the Chairwoman
of Corporate Governance Committee, dated December 22, 2020, focused on:
• the integration of sustainability into the definition of strategies, the internal control system, the management of risks and the compensation policy;
• the pre-meeting information provided to the Board of Directors;
• the independence assessment process;
• the self-assessment process of the Board of Directors;
• the appointing and succession process for the Directors;
• the adequacy of remuneration practices and policies.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Corporate Governance Report approved by the Board of Directors on 5 March 2021 gives an account of the implementation methods already in
place with reference to each of the above issues, noting in particular:
• the Company's constant focus on strengthening the integration of ESG factors in the definition of the Group strategies, the internal control and the
management of risks as well as the compensation policy, as well as the launch in 2020 of a deep review process of its ESG strategy, also
following the aforementioned creation of a new dedicated area, “Group ESG Strategy and Impact Banking”;
• the practice laid down in the UniCredit Regulations for Corporate Bodies and Committees, with reference to pre-meetings information, for which
information is provided at least three working days prior to meetings, with the possibility of waiving this requirement only in the event of
extraordinary situations, ensuring that in such cases adequate details are provided during board meetings;
• the presence for several years of a structured and transparent process for the assessing of the independence, described in greater detail in the
Corporate Governance Report;
• the presence of a structured board review process with the assistance of an external consultant for the self-assessment of the Board of Directors;
• the modality by which, before each renewal of the supervisory body, the Board (i) establishes its qualitative and quantitative composition deemed
optimal for the effective completion of the duties and responsibilities vested in the body with strategic supervisory functions by law, by the
Supervisory Provisions and by the UniCredit Articles of Association, and (ii) informs shareholders about such composition in order for them to
select candidates taking into consideration the expertise required;
• the presence of a structured process aimed at managing and developing the Leadership Pipeline across the Group, called Executive Development
Plan, related to all Group Executives, including the Chief Executive Officer position;
• the presence of UniCredit's remuneration and incentive policies that already comply with the recommendations made from time to time by the
Corporate Governance Committee.
With reference to the above, the Board of Statutory Auditors agrees with the considerations expressed by the Bank in its latest Corporate
Governance Report regarding the good quality of the UniCredit corporate governance, that is already compliant with the recommendations outlined
in the above-mentioned letter and thus in the new Code. The Board of Statutory Auditors has also constantly monitored how the recommendations
of the Corporate Governance Code are actually implemented, intervening with specific requests where deemed appropriate. The Corporate
Governance Report acknowledges room for improvement referring to the pre-meeting information timeliness, and improvements are also expected
with reference to sustainability, an area to which the new Code pays particular attention. With reference to these issues, the Board of Statutory
Auditors will pay due attention during 2021, the first year of application of the new edition of the Corporate Governance Code.
The Board of Statutory Auditors reported every six months to the Board of Directors and the IC&RC about the main activities carried out and the
recommendations made.
In addition to what has already been stated in paragraph 1. “Appointment and activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors” regarding attendance at
meetings of the Bodies, the Board of Statutory Auditors received the usual information flows, during the period (provided for in the “Corporate Bodies
and Committees Regulation” and in the policies) on the activities of the Remuneration Committee and Related-Party transactions.
The aforementioned Regulation, approved by the Board of Directors in 2018, provides for the participation of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory
Auditors in the meetings of the Internal Controls and Risks Committee, without prejudice to the right of each member of the Board of Statutory
Auditors to attend specific meetings of the Board Committees; the Chairman of each Committee may invite the Chairman of the Board of Statutory
Auditors, or another Statutory Auditor designated by him, to attend the meetings.
Starting from May 2020, the attendance of the Members of the Board of Statutory Auditors at the meetings of the Board Committees has increased
in the manner indicated in the above-mentioned paragraph 1. The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified how the increase in its participation at the
Committees in question has contributed to its effectiveness.
The BoSA carried out the usual periodic checks, together with the competent Functions, examining a selected sample of reports within the forms
pursuant to article 23 of the Articles of Association, detecting no exceptions. At the request of the BoSA the relevant procedure is being revised, in
order to make it more consistent with the definition of significant transactions set out in the above-mentioned statutory provision and in the provisions
of law on which it is based, hoping the new procedure to be adopted soon.
With specific reference to the assignment to the Board of Statutory Auditors also of the functions of Supervisory Body pursuant to Italian
Legislative Decree No.231/2001 (“OdV 231”) starting from the renewal of its mandate which took place with the Shareholders’ Meeting of 11 April
2019, the Board of Statutory Auditors, charged with functions of Supervisory Body, reported to the Board of Directors every six months on the
activities carried out on the implementation of the Organisational and Management Model adopted by UniCredit S.p.A. pursuant to the
aforementioned Legislative Decree (at the meetings held on 5 August 2020, and 5 March 2021, respectively).
During the reference period, the Board of Statutory Auditors, acting as 231 Supervisory Body’s, oversaw the functioning and compliance with the
Model, and the verification and control activity, based on the information made available to it, and it was functional to the objectives of its effective
implementation. The 231 Supervisory Body pursued these objectives with the collaboration of Internal Audit and Compliance Functions without
substituting, replacing or duplicating the control tasks institutionally assigned to these Functions.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has adopted specific operating practices in order to perform its ordinary role in synergy with the one acting as 231
Supervisory Body.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Conclusions
The oversight of the Board of Statutory Auditors revealed no censurable actions, omissions or irregularities requiring to be noted in this Report.
During the meetings of the Board of Directors, during which the most significant economic, financial and equity transactions of UniCredit S.p.A. and
its subsidiaries were examined, the Board of Statutory Auditors received the information pursuant to Art.150, paragraph 1, of Italian Legislative
Decree. 58/1998 (TUF).
Based on the information acquired through its oversight activity, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not become aware of any operations during the
period covered by this report performed not in compliance with the principles of proper management, resolved and carried out not in accordance
with the law and the Company Bylaws, not in the Company’s interest, not in accordance with Shareholders’ resolutions, manifestly imprudent or
reckless, lacking the necessary information where Directors’ interests were involved, or prejudicial to the Company’s assets.
Having regard to the foregoing, the Board of Statutory Auditors, having examined the reports drawn up by the External Auditors, having noted the
joint attestations issued by the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Manager, does not find in the areas under its remit any
impediment to the approval of the proposal of the financial statements as at 31 December 2020 and of the remuneration proposal submitted by the
Board of Directors, as presented below.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has noted that the Directors observed that the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic during the financial year 2020 and
the associated lock-down measures, have determined, negative effects that are offset, only in part, by the economic relief measures put in place by
the Governments. The Directors have considered these circumstances in the assessments of significant items of the financial statements, and on
the basis of these assessments, also acknowledging the current uncertainty surrounding the economic recovery and the long-term impact of the
lock-down measures adopted, believe with reasonable certainty that the Group will continue to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a
result, in accordance with the provisions of IAS1, the document “Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020” was prepared on a
going concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, as stated in the financial statements report, the main regulatory ratios have been taken into account at
31 December 2020, in terms of: (i) the exact figures at 31 December 2020 (CET1 ratio transitional equal to 15.96%; TLAC Total-Loss Absorbing
Capacity ratio equal to 26.97%; Liquidity Coverage Ratio equal to 171% based on monthly average on 12 months); (ii) the related buffer versus the
minimum requirements at the same reference date (CET1 ratio transitional: excess of 693 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 743 basis points;
Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 71 percentage points); (iii) the expected evolution of the same ratios during 2021.
Consistently with such evidences, taking into consideration the recommendations issued by European Central Bank in December 2020
(Recommendation 2020/62 on “the distribution of dividends during the COVID-19 pandemic and repealing Recommendation ECB/2020/35”) and
further corroborating the going concern, the Board of Statutory Auditors takes note of the proposal of the Board of Directors at the next
Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for 15 April 2021 to authorise the distribution of a remuneration, in part in cash and in part through shares buy
back, the latter conditional on the reception of the proper authorization by the European Central Bank.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors hopes and trusts that UniCredit will also set up the best conditions for the entering in charge of the new Board
of Directors, which will be elected during the aforementioned next Shareholders’ Meeting and where Mr. Pietro Carlo Padoan and Mr. Andrea Orcel,
respectively, are seen as the designated Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, as per list No.1. presented by the Board of Directors of
UniCredit S.p.A.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 39 OF JANUARY 27, 2010
AND ARTICLE 10 OF THE EU REGULATION 537/2014
To the Shareholders of
UniCredit S.p.A.
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. (the “Bank”), which comprise the balance
sheet as at December 31, 2020, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the
statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the related
notes to the accounts.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of
the Bank as at December 31, 2020, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union
and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree
no. 38/05 and to art. 43 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 136/15.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the
ethical requirements applicable under Italian law to the audit of the financial statements. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of performing customer loans
Description of the key
audit matter
As indicated in the Notes to the accounts Part B – Balance Sheet
Information (Table 4.2 Financial Assets at amortised cost: Breakdown by
product of loans and advances to customers), loans to customers (stage 1
and stage 2) are equal to 204.612 million Euro.
As more broadly described in the Notes to the accounts and in the Report
on operations in 2020 the world economy faced an unprecedented
economic contraction, triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic which
significantly impacted the Bank's business processes for identifying,
monitoring and measuring credit risk.
The context was also characterized by new initiatives and concessions
introduced by the government and the monetary and fiscal authorities,
whose impacts on the Bank's economic and financial situation are
reported in the Notes to the accounts in the following sections:
Part B – Balance sheet – Section 4 – Financial assets at amortised cost
(4.4a Financial assets at amortised cost subject to Covid-19 measures:
gross value and total accumulated impairments);
Part C – Income statements – Section 8 – Net losses/recoveries on
credit impairment (8.1a Net impairment losses for credit risk relating
to financial assets at amortised cost subject to Covid-19 measures:
breakdown);
Part E – Information on risks and hedging policies – Section A – Credit
quality (A.1.5a Other loans and advances subject to Covid-19
measures: transfers between impairment stages (gross value) and
A.1.7a Other loans and advances subject to Covid-19 measures: gross
and net value);
as required by the Bank of Italy Communication “Integration to Circular
No.262 requirements – Banks financial statements: schemes and
compilation rules” dated December 15, 2020 to provide the market with
information on the effects that the Covid-19 and the measures to support
the economy have produced on strategies, objectives and risk
management policies, as well as on the economic and financial situation of
intermediaries.
In relation to the context described above and as more broadly illustrated
in the Notes to the accounts Part E – Information on risks and hedging
policies – Section 1 – Credit risk – Paragraph 2.3 Measurement methods
for expected losses, as at December 31, 2020 performing loans valuation,
compared to previous years, was characterized by some new
methodological aspects such as:
3
specific valuations adopted for the exposures, also subject to
concession (moratoria), in order to verify the significant increase in
credit risk, considering not only rating indicators but also prospective
indicators and sector analyses;
the new definition of default, whose more stringent classification
criteria are applicable starting from January 1, 2021, which the Bank
has already taken into account for the purpose of evaluating the
credit risk of the counterparties.
The valuation of performing portfolio has been furthermore significantly
affected by the update of the macroeconomic scenarios and of the
estimates of the likelihood of defaults (the “default rate”) which are
expected to rise when the government protection schemes will expire;
this in order to take into account the persistence of a high degree of
uncertainty and economic forecasts that show a high volatility mainly
linked to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. For a more exhaustive
information please refer to the Notes to the accounts Part A – Accounting
policies – Section 2 – General Preparation Criteria – Measurement of
Credit Exposures and to the Part E – Information on risks and hedging
policies – Section 1 – Credit risk – Paragraph 2.3 Measurement methods
for expected losses.
Considering the significance of the amount of the performing loans
recorded in the financial statements, the increased complexity in the
estimation processes adopted by the Bank also to take into account the
effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have identified the classification of
performing loans - with particular reference to performing credit
exposures with higher levels of management risk ("watchlist" exposures)
and to exposures subject to concession - as well as the related process for
determining collective loan loss provisions, as a key audit matter of the
financial statements of the Bank as at December 31, 2020.
Audit procedures
performed
The audit procedures performed, planned also considering the exceptional
macroeconomic environment and related Covid-19 impacts, included,
among others, the following:
analysis and understanding of the Bank's internal control system and the
relative internal regulations concerning to the credit process, and in
particular, the identification of the organizational and procedural
safeguards implemented by the Bank for monitoring credit quality, for
the adequacy of the classification according to the provisions of the
sector legislation and for the credit valuation in compliance with the
applicable accounting standards; such analyses were focused on the
main aspects referred to by the Supervisory Authorities following the
Covid-19 pandemic;
4
analysis and understanding of the IT systems and applications used and
test of the operational effectiveness of relevant controls, also with the
support of IT experts belonging to the Deloitte network;
analysis of the implementation of the procedures and Bank’s processes,
as well as test of the operational effectiveness of the relevant controls
for the purposes of the classification and valuation processes;
analysis and understanding of the main valuation models adopted by
the Bank and of the related updates, as well as check on a sample basis
of the reasonableness of the parameters subject to estimation, also with
the support of credit model experts and IT experts belonging to the
Deloitte network;
analysis and verification of further assessments made by the Bank for
the classification of Stage 2 exposures and for the valuation of
counterparties risk, with particular reference to sector analyses and to
the new definition of default;
checks on a sample basis of the classification according to the provisions
of the internal and sector legislation as well as of the related valuation in
compliance with the applicable accounting standards;
analysis and check of the collective valuation of performing loans, also
through the development of independent estimates;
comparative and trend analyses on the volumes of loans to customers
and on related coverage ratios, through comparison with the data of the
previous year and with sector data;
examination of the sensitivity analyses carried out by the Bank on the
expected losses accounted for at year end to changes in
macroeconomic scenarios;
analysis of events occurring after the reference date of the financial
statements.
Finally, we have verified the adequacy and compliance of the disclosures
provided in the Notes to the accounts with respect to the requirements of
the applicable accounting standards and reference legislation, as well as the
contents of the interpretative and supporting documents for the application
of the accounting standards in relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by
the European regulatory and supervisory bodies.

Risk of uncorrected classification and valuation of non-performing loans to customers (“bad loans”
and “unlikely to pay”)
Description of the key
audit matter
As indicated in the Notes to the accounts Part B – Balance Sheet (4.2
Financial assets at amortised cost: breakdown by product of loans and
advances to customers), the net carrying amount of non-performing loans
to customers (stage 3) is equal to 3,646 million Euro.
The Report on operations shows that non-performing loans coverage ratio
as at December 31, 2020 for bad loans is equal to 85.68% with a net
carrying value of 624 million Euro, for unlikely to pay is equal to 58.80% with
a net carrying value of 2,790 million Euro and for non-performing past-due
is equal to 37.30% with a net carrying value of 252 million Euro.
In the Notes to the accounts Part A – Accounting Policies – Section A.2 –
Main items of the accounts Paragraph 15 – Other Information Impairment is
described that the valuation of bad loans and unlikely to pay takes place:
on an analytical basis, on the basis of the estimated recoverable cash
flows, discounted at the original interest rate of the financial asset;
on a statistical basis, through the acknowledgment of coverage levels
defined for credit portfolios below a predefined threshold;
and that, in accordance with the IFRS 9, the valuation of non-performing
loans was determined by including also the multiple scenarios applicable
to this type of exposures including any sale scenario where the Bank's
non-performing loans asset strategy foresees the recovery through their
disposal on the market.
In addition, in the Notes to the accounts Part E – Information on risks and
hedging policies – Section 1 – Credit Risk – Paragraph 2.3 Measurement
methods for expected losses, it is reported that during December 2020, the
management of the Bank updated its disposal plan 2021-2023 by
providing, in addition to the full rundown of the “Non-Core” portfolio
(gross carrying amount as at December 31, 2020 of 1.7 billion Euro), the
disposal of non-performing loans belonging to the “Core” perimeter for a
gross carrying amount of 2.6 billion Euro at December 31, 2020, which
were evaluated on the basis of recovery through their disposal on the
market (“Selling scenario”). This led to the inclusion of additional loan loss
provisions for 453 million Euro related to these exposures, in order to
align recovery forecasts with expected market prices (defined by
observable internal or market benchmarks, depending on the availability
of the information and in compliance with internal regulations).
6
Considering the significance of non-performing loans amount recorded in
the financial statements and the complexity of the estimation processes
adopted by the Bank which implied a complex classification activity into
homogeneous risk categories and the use of some variables characterized
by a high subjectivity (such as the estimates of expected cash flows, the
related recovery times, the value of any guarantees and the recovery
strategies, including the disposal on the market) for the determination of
the related recoverable amount, we have identified the classification of
non-performing loans (bad loans and unlikely to pay) and their valuation as
a key audit matter of the financial statements of the Bank as at December
31, 2020.
Audit procedures
performed
The audit procedures performed included, among others, the following:
analysis and understanding of the internal control system as well as the
related internal regulations regarding: (i) the monitoring of credit quality
(ii) the management of non-performing loans (iii) the adequacy of the
classification according to the provisions of the sector legislation and (iv)
the credit valuation in compliance with the applicable accounting
principles;
analysis and understanding of the IT systems and applications used and
test of the operational effectiveness of relevant controls, also with the
support of IT experts belonging to the Deloitte network;
verification of the implementation of the procedures and Bank’s
processes, as well as test of the operational effectiveness of the relevant
controls for the purposes of the classification and valuation processes;
analysis and understanding of the approval process by the competent
bodies of the Bank of the actions to strengthen the strategy of reducing
non-performing credit exposures included in the “Core” perimeter;
analysis and understanding of the valuation model adopted for the
determination of the additional loan loss provisions relating to non-
performing loans belonging to the “Core” perimeter, valued on the basis
of the recovery expectations through the sale and verification of the
reasonableness of the expected market prices, also through the
development of independent estimates;
checks on a sample basis, for each category of non-performing loans, of
the classification and of the related valuation in compliance with the
Bank internal regulations;
7
comparative and trend analyses, for each category of non-performing
loans, on the volumes and on related coverage ratios, through
comparison with the data of the previous year and with sector data;
analysis of events occurring after the reference date of the financial
statements.
Finally, we have verified the adequacy and compliance of the disclosures
provided in the Notes to the accounts with respect to the requirements of
the applicable accounting standards and reference legislation, as well as the
contents of the interpretative and supporting documents for the application
of the accounting standards in relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by
the European regulatory and supervisory bodies.
Responsibilities of the Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the
requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05 and
to art. 43 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 136/15 and, within the terms established by law, for such
internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the conditions for the
liquidation of the Bank or for the termination of the operations or have no realistic alternative to such
choices.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the
Bank’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
8
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control;
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Bank's internal control;
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors;
conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify
our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going
concern;
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in
a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by
ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and,
where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report.
Other information communicated pursuant to art. 10 of the EU Regulation 537/2014
The Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. has appointed us on May 11, 2012 as auditors of the Bank
for the years from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2021.
9
We declare that we have not provided prohibited non-audit services referred to in art. 5 (1) of EU
Regulation 537/2014 and that we have remained independent of the Bank in conducting the audit.
We confirm that the opinion on the financial statements expressed in this report is consistent with the
additional report to the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its role of Audit Committee, referred to in art. 11
of the said Regulation.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Opinion pursuant to art. 14, paragraph 2 (e), of Legislative Decree 39/10 and art. 123-bis, paragraph 4, of
Legislative Decree 58/98
The Directors of UniCredit S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the report on operations and the
report on corporate governance and ownership structure of UniCredit S.p.A. as at December 31, 2020,
including their consistency with the related financial statements and their compliance with the law.
We have carried out the procedures set forth in the Auditing Standard (SA Italia) n. 720B in order to
express an opinion on the consistency of the report on operations and some specific information
contained in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure set forth in art. 123-bis, n. 4
of Legislative Decree 58/98 with the financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. as at December 31, 2020
and on their compliance with the law, as well as to make a statement about any material misstatement.
In our opinion, the above-mentioned report on operations and information contained in the report on
corporate governance and ownership structure are consistent with the financial statements of UniCredit
S.p.A. as at December 31, 2020 and are prepared in accordance with the law.
With reference to the statement referred to in art. 14, paragraph 2 (e), of Legislative Decree 39/10,
made on the basis of the knowledge and understanding of the entity and of the related context acquired
during the audit, we have nothing to report.

ABB Accelerated Bookbuild
An accelerated bookbuild is a form of offering in the equity capital markets of material stake of a company’s share to institutional investors.
ABCP Conduits - Asset Backed Commercial Paper Conduits
Asset Backed Commercial Paper Conduits are a type of “SPV - Special Purpose Vehicle” (see item) set up to securitise various types of assets and
financed by Commercial Paper (see item).
Commercial Paper generally matures in 270 days, with payment of principal and interest depending on the cash flow generated by the underlying
assets.
ABCP Conduits may be single-sellers or multi-sellers according to the number of issues they make. Conduits generally require several SPVs.
The first-level vehicles issue the Commercial Paper and finance one or more second-level vehicles or Purchase Companies (see item) which
purchase the assets to be securitised.
An ABCP Conduit will have the following:
• issues of short-term paper creating a maturity mismatch between the assets held and the paper issued;
• liquidity lines covering the maturity mismatch; and
• security covering default risk in respect of both specific assets and the entire programme.
ABS - Asset Backed Securities
Debt securities, generally issued by an “SPV - Special Purpose Vehicle” (see item) guaranteed by assets of various types such as mortgage loans,
consumer credits, credit card receivables, etc. Principal and interest payments are subject to the performance of the securitised assets and the
existence of any further security guaranteeing the bond. ABSs are divided into tranches (senior, mezzanine and junior) according to the priority with
which principal and interest will be paid.
AC
Financial asset amortised at cost.
Acquisition Finance
Finance for business acquisition operations. The most common form of Acquisition Finance is the leveraged buy-out (see Leveraged Finance).
Affluent
Banking customer segment whose available assets for investment are regarded as moderate to high.
Allocated capital
It represents the amount of capital absorbed by the Group and the Divisions to perform their business activities and to cover all the types of related
risks. It is measured by Regulatory Capital obtained by multiplying risk-weighted assets by target Common Equity tier 1 ratio, plus certain regulatory
deductions (e.g. shortfall, securitisations, equity exposures). If calculated as actual figure it can be also titled Capital.
ALM - Asset & Liability Management
Integrated management of assets and liabilities, designed to allocate resources in such a manner as to optimise the risk/return ratio.
AMA (Advanced Measurement Approach)
Applying this methodology the operational risk requirement is obtained with calculation models based on operational loss data and other evaluation
elements collected and processed by the bank. Admittance threshold and specific suitability requirements have been provided for the use of the
standardised and advanced approaches. For the AMA approach the requirements concern, beside the management system, also the measurement
system.
Asset allocation
Decisions to invest in markets, geographical areas, sectors or products.
Asset management
Activities of management of the financial investments of third parties.
UniCredit · 2020 Annual Report and Accounts 761

loss forecasts made by the bank (i.e. irrespective of whether any, secured or personal, guarantees covering the exposures).
Banking Book
Used in relation to financial instruments, particularly securities, this term identifies the portion of such portfolios intended for "proprietary" activities.
Bank Levy
Charges applied at national level specifically to financial institutions, mainly based on balance sheet figures, or parts of it.
Basel 2
New international capital agreement redefining the guidelines for determining the minimum capital requirements for banks.
The new prudential regulations, which came into force in Italy in 2008, are based on three pillars.
• Pillar 1: while the objective of a level of capitalisation equivalent to 8% of the risk-weighted exposures remains unchanged, a new set of rules has
been defined for measuring the typical risks associated with banking and financial activities (credit risk, counterparty risk, market risk and
operational risk) which provides for alternative calculation methods characterised by different levels of complexity, with the ability to use internally
developed models subject to prior authorisation by the Regulatory Authority;
• Pillar 2: this requires the banks to have processes and tools for determining the adequate level of total internal capital (Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process - ICAAP) for covering all types of risk, including risks other than those covered by the overall capital requirement (Pillar 1),
within the framework of an evaluation of current and future exposure that takes account of strategies and of changes in the reference context. It is
the Regulatory Authority's task to examine the ICAAP process, formulate an overall judgment and, where necessary, apply the appropriate
corrective measures;
• Pillar 3: this introduces obligations to publish information concerning capital adequacy, exposure to risks, and the general characteristics of the
systems used for identifying, measuring and managing those risks.
Basel 3
As a consequence of the crisis that, since 2008 has hit the financial markets, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has approved the
substantial enhancement of the minimum capital requirements and the changes to the rules on the liquidity of banks (Basel 3) by providing for the
gradual introduction of the new prudential requirements as at 1 January 2014. These rules have been implemented at the European level through
the CRDIV “Package”.

CCF - Credit Conversion Factor
Ratio between (a) the unused portion of the line of credit that it is estimated may be used in the event of default and (b) the portion currently unused.
CDO - Collateralised Debt Obligations
Bonds issued by a vehicle with loans, bonds, ABS - Asset Backed Securities (see item) or other CDOs as underlyings. CDOs make it possible to
derecognise assets in the bank’s balance sheet and also to arbitrage the differences in yield between the securitised assets and the bonds issued
by the vehicle.
CDOs may be funded if the vehicle legally acquires title to the assets or unfunded if the vehicle acquires the underlying risk by means of a CDS -
Credit Default Swap (see item) or similar security.
These bonds may be further subdivided as follows:
• CDOs of ABSs, which in turn have tranches of ABSs as underlyings;
• Commercial Real Estate CDOs (CRE CDOs), with commercial property loans as underlyings;
• Balance Sheet CDOs which enable the Originator (see item), usually a bank, to transfer its credit risk to third investors, and, where possible under
local law and supervisory regulations, to derecognise the assets from its balance sheet;
• Market Value CDOs whereby payments of interest and principal are made not only out of cash flow from the underlying assets, but also by trading
the instruments. The performance of the notes issued by the vehicle thus depends not only on the credit risk, but also on the market value of the
underlyings;
• Preferred Stock CDOs with hybrid debt/equity instruments or Preference shares (see item) issued by financial institutions;
• Synthetic Arbitrage CDOs which arbitrage the differences in yield between the securitised assets acquired synthetically by means of derivatives
and the bonds issued by the vehicle.

IRB - Internal Rating Based
Method for determining the capital needed to cover credit risk within the framework of Pillar 1 of Basel 2 (see item). The rules are applied to the
exposures of the banking portfolio. Furthermore, in the IRB methods the risk weightings of the assets are determined on the basis of the bank's own
internal evaluations of the debtors (or, in some cases, of the transactions). Using systems based on internal ratings, the banks determine the
weighted risk exposure. The IRB methods consist of a basic method and an advanced method, which differ in terms of the risk parameters that the
bank must estimate: in the basic method, the banks use their own estimates for "PD - Probability of Default” and the regulatory values for the other
risk parameters; in the advanced method, the banks use their own estimates for " PD - Probability of Default ", "LGD - Loss Given Default", "CCF -
Credit Conversion Factors" and, where provided for, "M - Maturity" (see item). The use of IRB methods for the calculation of capital requirements is
subject to authorisation of Banca d’Italia.

• mezzanine exposures are those with medium repayment priority, between senior and junior;
• senior exposures are the first to be repaid.

In the case of an interest rate swap (IRS), the counterparties exchange payment streams that may or may not be linked to interest rates, calculated
on a notional principal amount (for example, one counterparty pays a stream on the basis of a fixed rate, while the other does so on the basis of a
variable rate).
In the case of a currency swap, the counterparties exchange specific amounts in two different currencies, with these amounts being exchanged back
in due course according to predefined arrangements that may concern both the capital (notional) and the streams of interest payments.

Underlying Net Profit
The principle behind the “Underlying Net Profit” is to identify the relevant recurring and sustainable profit base of the bank, which is the base for
capital distribution. It is quantified excluding the non-operating items impacting the “ordinary business” executed by the Bank, which is expected to
be in-line with assumption behind the MYP. Among the main non-operating items, both positive and negative in terms of income statement, it is
worth mentioning the disposal of real estate assets, the sale of companies, the restructuring costs, etc. This approach was considered appropriate
by the Remuneration Committee for the subsequent proposal to the Board of Directors.
Unlikely to Pay
The classification in this category is the result of the judgment of the bank about the unlikeliness, without recourse to actions such as realising
collaterals, that the obligor will pay in full (principal and/or interest) its credit obligations. This assessment should be carried out independently of the
presence of any amount (or rate) past due and unpaid.
