2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit “
The world may be uncertain, but our vision
for UniCredit has never been clearer.
Against the backdrop of huge external
transformation, our organisation has been
transforming internally.
Dear Stakeholders,
It is a pleasure to write to you as the Chairman of the UniCredit Board. It is a privi-
lege to be part of this bank, particularly at this significant moment in our journey.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve been forced to confront the interlocking
challenges facing our world. The ongoing war in Ukraine, geopolitical tensions
that have divided our continent and a global slowdown of growth.
It has been a year of economic uncertainty, with the banking sector facing
arguably the biggest macroeconomic challenges of the modern era. However,
in light of these external obstacles, the progress we’ve made at UniCredit, as
detailed in this report, is all the more impressive.
The world may be uncertain, but our vision for UniCredit has never been clearer.
Against the backdrop of huge external transformation, our organisation has been
transforming internally. Our strategic plan, UniCredit Unlocked, will ensure that we
are not standing still, waiting to be swept up in change. Instead, we are driving it.
This strategy, focused on leveraging the value and resources that already exist
within the bank, amounted to a complete and comprehensive organisational
transformation through 2022.
We have reduced the complexity of our organisational structure and strengthened
our model for governance to drive the business effectively. We have also success-
fully supported our teams in the gradual return to work. This has enabled us to
respond to global headwinds and deliver sustainable profit in a challenging year
for banks worldwide. Our results speak for themselves.

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit In times of economic turbulence, the support of financial institutions is even
more essential for people, who deserve not only to survive in difficult times, but
to thrive wherever possible. At UniCredit, we have been committed to helping
communities recover from the pandemic and financing companies looking to
seize the opportunities arising from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
We remain deeply committed to our home market, Italy, and will continue to
invest in the success of its businesses and communities.
These are just a few steps we have taken in our ambitious programme to unlock
the full potential of this truly pan-European organisation. Our presence across
the continent continues to be a great source of strength for us, enhancing our
ability to serve each of our individual markets. We know that when Europe
thrives, we thrive as a bank.
Europe itself is at a critical point in its history: there are many more benefits to
come from greater integration and schemes such as NextGenerationEU should
not be a one-off. For our part, we will continue to find new ways to collaborate
with governments, stimulate the economy, and support struggling businesses.
Alongside our work to finance the Europe of tomorrow, we have also renewed
the mission of our Foundation to focus on the younger generation, who will be
the continent’s future leaders.
2022 was a strong year for UniCredit and the Board wishes to congratulate
the UniCredit leadership on its successes. As a result of this dedication and an
unwavering commitment to our strategy, we can look to 2023 with confidence
and push even further. When we do this, we succeed and importantly, our
stakeholders succeed.
Thank you for trusting us as we continue on this journey, and thank you for your
contribution to the success we are already seeing.
As a result, we are a better bank. A bank that delivers for our clients, communi-
ties and for Europe.
Yours sincerely,
Pietro Carlo Padoan
Chairman UniCredit S.p.A.

Executive
Officer
12
2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit “I am determined that UniCredit is an
institution which lives by the principles
we have set for ourselves, as we have
done throughout 2022. We have
confronted challenges head-on and
because of the proactive steps we have
taken, we are primed to seize all
opportunities as they arise.
Dear Stakeholders,
When we look back on UniCredit’s journey, 2022 will be seen as a pivotal year.
It was the year that we executed on the fundamental aspects of UniCredit
Unlocked that have strengthened our bank further. It was the year we laid the
foundations for future successes. And it was the year we transformed our bank.
The UniCredit of today is a different organisation from a year ago. This is not
because of a change in any of our bank’s fundamentals; it is because of the
growth and value we have driven and created from within. The assets that
gave us our innate strength and potential a year ago remain today: UniCredit
continues to have an extensive talent pool, fantastic clients and a pan-European
reach. But we are a different bank.
We are different because of what we have done with those ingredients. UniCredit
Unlocked has changed the way we are utilising our bank’s fundamental assets.
Through 2022, we transformed our operating model, to one which empowers
our people and gives our clients what they are asking for. One which unleashes
the very best of what our bank has to offer, and one which focuses on growth
rather than retrenchment.
Critically, in 2022 UniCredit Unlocked changed our organisation’s culture and our
mindset. We are now a forward-looking bank, one that is ambitious about the
future and achieving sustainable growth. We are winning.
This mindset change is what is driving our ability to serve clients, deliver success
for all our stakeholders, and become the bank for Europe’s future. We have much
more to do before we achieve that ultimate ambition, but we are now a bank that
is operationally capable of delivering on such a bold ambition.
13
OtherCorporate informationPeopleFinancial highlights & StrategyChairman & CEO lettersDigital & DataESGClientsConsolidated ReportCompany Report2022 TimelineUniCredit · 2022 Annual Reports and Accounts As the last year has shown more than ever, the world in which we live is a complicated
and rapidly evolving one. The only thing that can be certain is uncertainty itself. As
always, but especially in such an environment, we must return, unfailingly, to our
principles and values.
I am determined that UniCredit is an institution which lives by the principles we have
set for ourselves, as we have done throughout 2022. We have confronted challenges
head-on and because of the proactive steps we have taken, we are primed to seize all
opportunities as they arise.
This has led to some difficult decisions, but they are decisions guided by integrity and
which we would return to again and again.
We are setting a new benchmark for the banking industry, with a focus on long-term
value creation, sustainability, resilience and inclusion.
Strong foundations
At the start of the year, our ambition was deemed too steep by many. Our plan was
too difficult. Yet despite all the challenges 2022 provided, it will be remembered as a
year we beat all our targets - with a generous margin.
We have moved quickly, outperforming our plan and executing on our industrial
transformation in record time, with a team that are motivated by a shared ambition
and passion.
We have strengthened our two best-in-class product factories, which can be leveraged
by each of our 13 banks. This is a proven model that is difficult for our competitors to
replicate.
We have begun to optimise and update our legacy infrastructure, so that we can build
a fully digital and data driven organisation which is fit for the future.
We have delivered on our ESG objectives, and remain steadfast in our commitment to
reach 150bn new ESG volumes by 2024, 10bn of which will be social finance, and our
plan to reach net zero on financed emissions by 2050 and on our own emissions by
2030. Our ESG commitments are a critical aspect of our ability to set a new benchmark
for banking and become a bank for the future, and we are determined to do even more
and go further in coming years.
All our actions on industrial transformation are directly connected to our financial
performance and financial KPIs through which we manage the three levers of cost,
net revenue and capital. Today we are a bank that grows profitably and sustainably,
is efficient, generates outsized capital organically, and has a robust balance sheet and
capital. We are achieving the best results in UniCredit’s history. In Q4, we announced
FY22 net profit1 of 5.2bn and we are now in our eighth quarter of year-over-year growth.

sustainable and attractive shareholder distributions. Our results, and their quality, allow
us to propose a total 2022 shareholder distribution of 5.25 billion euros, up 40% year

At the same time, we are delivering exceptional per-share value creation. Our net profit
growth has been enhanced by share buy-backs, nearly doubling EPS versus our historical

Face the future
It is difficult to predict what is to come in 2023, but the progress we have made this
year gives me confidence in our ability not just to face the future, but to capture the
opportunities that this environment will present. We have achieved a great deal, but
there is so much more value still within our bank that needs to be released. In 2022 we
transformed our bank, but I am confident that was just the beginning, and we will go on
to achieve much more.
16
2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit There is no doubt that great challenges lie ahead, for organisations individually,
but also for Europe as a whole. If we are to unleash the full potential of Europe as
an economic bloc, we must come together more fully than we have done to date.
The benefits of greater integration will be exponential and enable us to compete
on the world stage – in a way that we are not at the moment.
For us at UniCredit, when we face the challenges ahead, we will return to two things.
The first is our strong foundations, now liberated to thrive and release their
potential, as well as the innate strength that comes with being a pan-European
bank. Our presence and reach across the continent enables us to leverage the
benefits that come with scale. We have seen throughout 2022 how our offering to
clients is maximised exponentially when shared across our 13 banks.
The second is our desire to set a new blueprint for banking, one which is guided
by principles and values, and determined to create success for all stakeholders for
the long-term. This is what we will return to, time and again, when we are carving
our path through a challenging time. I firmly believe that if we adhere to these,
we will succeed. And more than that, we will win: for our clients, our communities,
and our investors.
This is the bank that UniCredit is becoming: a better bank. In 2022, we took
incredible steps towards that goal, and I know that much more is to come in 2023.
I extend my sincere thanks to you all for your support on this journey. I am grateful
to the Board, our investors, the UniCredit team, as well as our clients and those
communities that we serve for staying with us and supporting us as we move into
the next phase of our growth, building on what we achieved in 2022.
It is the team’s commitment that has enabled us to deliver what is not only an
incredible organisational transformation, but a better way of operating as an
industry for the whole of Europe.
2022 was the year we laid the foundations for this success, and I have no doubt
2023 will be the year we capitalise on them.
Thank you,
Andrea Orcel
Chief Executive Officer UniCredit S.p.A.

Sustainable Distribution
and Capital strength
During the year, we delivered on our com-
mitment of a 2021 shareholder distribution
of 3.75 bn.
Thanks to our strong financial performance
in 2022 and the best year in over a decade,
we have proposed a total capital distribution
of 5.25bn1, with a 1.91bn cash dividend and
3.34bn share buyback – a 40% growth in
1. Pending Shareholder and supervisory approval
distribution. Together with 2021 this already
translates to almost 60% of our at least
total 16bn capital distribution ambition for
2021-2024.
The distribution is more than comfortably
funded by our superior organic capital gen-
eration of 279 basis points, well ahead of
the plan. Even pro forma for the distribution,
our CET1 ratio will be 14.9%, 78 basis points
higher versus prior year.
Throughout the year, UniCredit produced
strong financial results while taking proac-
tive actions during a macroeconomically
challenging year to protect our ability to
deliver sustainable and attractive distribu-
tion to our shareholders while maintaining
best-in-class capital strength.
For 2023 we are assuming a mild recession
as our base case with UniCredit being
well-positioned and ready to navigate and
continue delivering excellence and growth
under any scenario.

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit 3 Financial levers -
Net Revenues,
Cost and Capital
UniCredit Unlocked -
RoTE
UniCredit Unlocked outlined our vision to be
the bank for Europe’s future. It set a new
benchmark for the banking sector and we
are confident that this is the right strategy
for all our stakeholders. We continue to
focus on our transformation to unlock fur-
ther value from an improved baseline.
Since we launched this plan in December
2021, the bank has already visibly trans-
formed and is a structurally improved bank
– we have the right strategy for sustainable
growth, a clear path to a stronger RoTE and
the ability to meet capital distribution
ambitions.
Our best results in over a decade and the
eight consecutive quarters of quality
growth were achieved despite the challeng-
ing macro environment of 2022 and
without compromising on our risk manage-
ment. We have maintained our proactive
approach in identifying and addressing
emerging risks, e.g. our prudent and deci-
sive response to de-risk our Russia exposure
at minimum cost as well as our proactive
overlays on sectors impacted by supply
chain constraints and high energy prices.
We have a financial ambition of a RoTE of
around 10% by FY2024. For FY22 we deliv-
ered a RoTE of 10.7% (12.3% RoTE at a
13% CET1 ratio), already above our
UniCredit Unlocked target.
Throughout the year we managed to
increase the profitability in all our regions
to above 10% RoAC - each of them already
operating above their cost of equity.
Watch the video
UniCredit Unlocked is a plan rooted in our
solid foundation and is built upon capital
efficiency.
Our financial ambitions are steered through 3
interconnecting levers – costs, net revenues
and capital – being largely under our man-
agement control.
The optimisation of our 3 key financial levers
will continue to result in profitable growth
and organic capital generation.
COSTS – our cost base at year-end was 9.6
bn, translating to a 47.0% cost/income ratio.
This was the result of our relentless focus on
managing expenses, despite the unexpected-
ly high
inflation we faced across our
geographic footprint. This is partly thanks to
early proactive measures taken. With our cost
efficiency, we delivered positive operating
leverage while funding investments support-
ing our digital transformation, hiring over
1,400 FTEs for strategic areas and while also
supporting our people through inflation relief.
NET REVENUES – our net revenues stood at
18.4bn – increase of 13% Y/Y. This KPI
ensures that our growth does not come at
the expense of sound risk management and
that we increase our focus on capital-light
business/fee business, also by leveraging
our simplified partnership model (insurance
fee business).
CAPITAL – Our organic capital generation of
279 basis points is well above our guidance
of an annual average of around 150 basis
points, and delivered via a net profit of 5.2
bn and through proactive RWA management
without impacting revenue growth. Over the
course of FY22 we achieved a total of 19bn
of RWA reduction via active portfolio man-
agement. Efficient capital allocation remains
a priority focus to manage RWAs, enhancing
return on capital and supporting organic
capital generation.

million of them, with 14 million retail and
a distinctive strength in the value accretive
affluent sector. Both for our clients and our

enabled to best serve our clients by the tools
we provide.
1. Our ESG Strategy is fully described in a dedicated paragraph of
the Integrated Report.

factories: Corporate and Individual Solutions.
Our winning and distinguishing factors are
pan-European coverage, a unique cross-border
positioning allowing us to attract the best talent

Our ambition: We are reconfiguring the critical,
high-value elements of the value chain in each
of our core product areas, adding more external
partners to our ecosystem to deliver solutions
tailored around client needs.
DIGITAL AND DATA
We are optimising our digital and data
infrastructure which has the strong potential
of allowing for economies of scale. We are
progressively internalising our technology and
skillset and continuously strengthening our cyber
security and defences.
Our ambition: to build a fully digital and data-
driven organisation, with digital transformation as
a key enabler of clients and people.
PRINCIPLES AND VALUES
We are striving to change our Culture by shifting
the mentality of the organisation based on three
core Values of Integrity, Ownership and Caring.
Within a clear risk and control framework, we are
empowering our people to unite behind a unique,
common Purpose and vision.
Our ambition: Purpose, Culture and ESG
commitments to unite and guide our people

Our actions are directly connected to our finan-

levers of cost, net revenue and capital.
The laser-focused balance of quality top line
growth and capital efficiency combined with
operational efficiency drive the foundations of
our planned distribution
Together, these levers drive RoTE and organic
capital generation, giving us the ability to with-
stand shocks and to deliver sustainable and
attractive shareholder distributions.
It is a virtuous circle and a fundamentally dif-
ferent way of assessing financial performance
- different from our peers and very different from
the UniCredit of the past.

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit Last year, we introduced
UniCredit’s new strategy,
comprised of several
key initiatives set in place
to drive our transformation
through one common
theme – People.
We started off the 2022 year as a
certified Top Place to Work in Europe
by the Top Employers Institute.
This certification demonstrates that
our plan is working and in 2023 and
beyond, we will continue to shape
our bank for the future and ensure
that UniCredit is the top workplace
for our people.
We have reinforced the importance
of professional and personal devel-
opment with the launch of UniCredit
University - a project aimed at fur-
ther enhancing our global training
offering.
Building a better bank starts from
within and it has been our mis-
sion to keep people at the heart of
UniCredit’s decision-making now and
going forward.
With this goal in mind, we also
hosted our first-ever Culture Day
event back in June where we set
out to relaunch our Culture, Purpose
and Values. We embedded our new
Values and behaviours
in every
action we took, from implementing
our new DE&I inclusive guidelines
and policies, to shedding light on
invisible disabilities, and supporting
our youth through education.

UniCredit certified as a 2022
Top Employer in Europe
Values: Integrity, Ownership
Our bank recognises that our people are our
greatest asset. For the sixth year in a row,
UniCredit was officially certified by the Top
Employer Institute for its extraordinary com-
mitment to the well-being of its employees
and for providing an innovative, rewarding,
and inclusive workplace.
Our people are the most
important element of our
business. They are the reason
we are able to be successful,
serve our clients and impact
our communities. Creating an
environment that supports
and challenges them, ensures
they unite behind a common
ambition and thrive in all they
do, is a critical priority for us.
Andrea Orcel
Group Chief Executive Officer
and Head of Italy
The Top Employer Certification was awarded
across several UniCredit countries, including
Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Hungary, Italy
and Russia. The Top Employers Institute pro-
gramme recognises organisations based on
the results of their HR Best Practices survey,
which covers six domains consisting of twenty
topics,
including People Strategy, Work
Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning,
Well-being, and Diversity & Inclusion.
This recognition was both a reflection of
UniCredit and of how our people perceive our
bank as a place to work. Our people are the
sole drivers of our business. They are the
reason we are able to be successful, serve our
clients and impact our communities. As a
bank, we know it is both our duty and our
privilege to provide our employees with a
best-in-class experience – one that builds a
bank we can all be proud to work for.
In line with the new business strategy, the
bank has invested heavily in the digital evolu-
tion of the organisation now and over the next
three years – focusing on upskilling digital
competencies, continuing to retain best-in-
class digital talent and experts as well
attracting new ones.
By creating an environment that supports
and challenges its people while providing
them with the tools and resources they need
to be successful, we can ensure they are
building fruitful and meaningful careers in
our bank and beyond. We can and should
always do more, but this award demonstrates
that we are working
from a strong
foundation.

In Italy, we sponsored the opening of the
#HelpUkraine Hub in partnership with non-
profit organisation AVSI, which served as a
central location for incoming refugees, provid-
ing resources and support services, as well as
connecting the many Italians who wish to
help with those in need.
Finally, in UniCredit HypoVereinsbank, sever-
al children’s sports and cultural activities were
prepared and we offered virtual exchanges
and readings for children in Ukrainian and
Russian languages. At the same time, the bank
introduced a list of trusted charities and
organisations on the UniCredit HypoVereins-

provide quick and easy financial donations.

Values: Integrity, Caring
Empowering our communities to progress
goes far beyond the work we do inside our
bank. In times of crisis, we understand that
showing solidarity with those who need it
most is the only way for us to truly fulfil our
Purpose.
In early 2022, our people came together to
support Ukraine: from funds raised, to opening
homes to refugees and dedicating personal
time to join the cause, we truly saw what it
meant to be united by a single ambition.
During this time, 4,170 employees from across
our countries came together to donate their
personal funds through an employee giving
initiative. All donations were matched (dou-
bled) by the UniCredit Foundation for a final
total contribution of approximately
€846,000 benefitting the Red Cross, Save the
Children and the UN Refugee Agency
(UNHCR).
At the same time, colleagues were able to
send money transfers to Ukraine with
UniCredit’s support without paying any trans-
action fees. Even more, we introduced a
streamlined bank account opening process for
refugees with a special current account offer
of “Gold status”, with all fees waived for one
full year. Separately, our Group Security team
organised on-the-ground transfers from the
borders of Poland, Romania and Slovakia to
help Ukrainians find safety away from the
major areas of conflict.
In different countries, we gave NGOs the
opportunity to use empty spaces in our
branches to collect and store goods which

Values: Ownership
The growth and progression of our colleagues
is a fundamental driver of our bank’s success
– and it is essential that we continue to do our
part in reconnecting our people’s skills with
the strategic objectives of the business.
The first step in empowering our communi-
ties begins with our people. Empowering
our people by providing them with the tools
they need to succeed is how we can ultimate-
ly deliver on our Purpose. And this begins
with their professional development. With
this goal in mind, our Group was proud to
introduce UniCredit University, a project
aimed at further enhancing our global train-
ing offering. By applying the industry’s best
methods and techniques, we have harnessed
our collective knowledge and know-how to
maintain our competitive advantage.
The kick-off of the initiative was officially
launched in Turin, Italy served as the pilot
for the programme and the first step in
achieving our ambition to extend UniCredit
University to all employees across the
Group. The programme provided first-hand
access to specialised training across all
business functions. The new training deliv-
ery model included the return of face-to-face
training and hybrid paths, accompanied by
virtual classrooms
to
UniCredit University has allowed for a tai-
lor-made approach
learning and
professional development, delivering a ful-
ly-immersive employee experience focused
on the upskilling and reskilling of role-based
competencies – ultimately allowing our col-
leagues to unlock and embrace their fullest
potential. Since the launch, several areas of
our business have adopted the platform and
tailored its offering to their people and their
needs so that they can continue to enhance
their business acumen and become subject
matter experts in their field of work.
To build the bank for tomorrow, we must
invest in our people today. This was an
incredible milestone in our Group transfor-
mation journey. The introduction of UniCredit

Values: Integrity, Ownership, Caring
UniCredit’s success, and the success of us all,
must be founded on a strong and highly

Each of us has the privilege of being the agents
of positive cultural change, driving our mind-

Introducing our
new Code of
Conduct
2022 Code of Conduct
Values: Integrity, Ownership
Our bank has an ambition that goes beyond
the basic role of providing financial support to
our society. As we continued forward on our
Group transformation journey, we were
pleased to announce the official launch of our
new Code of Conduct which was introduced
and adopted across our bank. Our Code is a
critical tool that contributes to the collective
success of our business. It serves as a clear
guide for all our actions and behaviours and
each of us has been and will continue to be
held accountable based on our adherence to
this Code.
To act as the engine of social progress and be
the bank for Europe’s future, we are com-
mitted to building a Culture that puts our
Values of Integrity, Ownership and Caring at
the heart of our decision-making and
everything we do. They embody what we
stand for, determine how we act, and shape
the decisions that we make every day.
Our Code of Conduct outlines how we bring
our Culture to life in our everyday behav-
iours and how we treat all our stakeholders.
Furthermore, it ensures our people’s coher-
ence with our new set of Values – guaranteeing
the highest standard of professional conduct
from all of our employees and external
experts involved in any activity on behalf of
our bank. It is what will set us apart from
simply being a good company, instead posi-
tioning us as a great company.
Since the launch in July 2022, we embraced
our new Code of Conduct and have actively
encouraged all our people to adopt and apply
these best practice behaviours – making it
our mission to further cement it in the way
we do business. By doing so, we have been
able to ensure we stay on the path we are
forging: a path to achieve our goals and Win.
The Right Way. Together.

equity across
our bank
UniCredit obtains EDGE Certification
Values: Integrity, Caring
At UniCredit, we have long recognised that an equita-
ble and diverse workforce is vital to our business and
creates a fairer and more inclusive working environ-
ment.
In 2022, UniCredit obtained the EDGE
certification for gender equity across three countries:
Austria, Germany, and Italy, demonstrating our com-
mitment to fostering gender equity and inclusion in
the workplace.
EDGE is the leading global assessment and business cer-
tification for gender and intersectional equity. The
certification process involves a rigorous third-party review
of representation across the pipeline, pay equity, effec-
tiveness of policies and practices, and inclusiveness of an
organisation’s culture. As an integral part of the assess-
ment, statistical data is analysed, policies and practices
are reviewed, and employees receive a comprehensive
survey to assess perceptions of career development
opportunities in the workplace.
The UniCredit banks in Austria, Germany and Italy are
currently the only EDGE-certified organisations in
Europe in the banking industry. In each of the five enti-
ties, both men and women perceive flexible working as
allowing them to balance their professional and personal
life. And all five have policies that explicitly mention:
non-discriminatory recruitment and promotion practices
that include gender; non-discrimination with regards to
professional development, which also includes gender;
plus, the value of diversity and inclusion. These policies
showcase our strong commitment to Diversity, Equity &
Inclusion (DE&I) as a driver of sustainable business suc-
cess and a platform for future progress towards inclusion.
As part of its EDGE action plan, all UniCredit entities are
committed to making progress towards achieving gender
balance. Moving forward, all organisations are encouraged
to focus on the representation of women at the middle,
upper, and top management levels, as well as men’s and
women’s perceptions about equal opportunities for
promotion and equal pay for equivalent work.
Our bank intends to ensure equal access to career-critical
assignments for all employees by setting up a mentoring
programme for both males and females and measuring its
effectiveness in terms of broad growth opportunities. This
46
development path will help to strengthen women’s pres-
ence in the leadership pipeline and build a more inclusive
workplace where all talent can flourish and grow. For men,
there is the opportunity to encourage more take-up of
paternity leave, and all organisations can be more proac-
tive in managing pay equity.
This further highlights our efforts in fostering a more
diverse and sustainable professional place to work.
UniCredit remains strongly committed to championing
gender diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace,
so our people can continue to deliver incredible results and
thrive in an equitable and inclusive environment for all.

Roadshow
Our Culture Manifesto in action
Values: Integrity, Ownership, Caring
Our Culture starts and ends with our people.
It is what differentiates a good company, from
a great company – a bank that supports its
communities, from a bank that empowers its
communities.
When we officially launched our Values of
Integrity, Ownership and Caring in June
2022, we made the decision to return to our
fundamental role within society: to act as the
engine of social progress and to help Europe
and its people to become stronger than ever.
To achieve this, we understood that it was our
responsibility to act as one team working to a
shared Culture. With this in mind, we launched
a dedicated Culture Roadshow, representing a
key moment dedicated to building employee
awareness and setting the tone for the new
UniCredit Culture across all our countries.
Driven by Andrea Orcel, Group Chief Executive
Officer and Head of Italy, Siobhan McDonagh,
Head of Group People and Culture, and
Nikolina Zečić, Head of Group Culture, the
Culture Roadshow gathered more than 2,000
colleagues across Croatia, Germany, and
Austria, engaging in different interactive
sessions joined by several senior leaders in
Germany, Central Europe and Eastern Europe.
The sessions opened with meaningful panel
discussions aimed at deepening the under-
standing of how UniCredit puts our Values into
action both inside and outside our bank. Most
importantly, we discussed how each of our
colleagues must embed these behaviours in
everything we do. The events sparked fruitful
discussions where participants exchanged real-
life examples and stories
local
testimonials. On some occasions, our corporate
clients joined the Roadshow events to share
cultural experiences with both UniCredit and
within their own companies.
from
The Culture Roadshow demonstrated the great
enthusiasm and passion of our people to pursue
the transformation journey our bank has
embarked on. While cultural change does not
happen overnight, we remain committed to
driving this change together and continuing
the Culture Roadshow across all our markets as
we move further into 2023 and beyond.
A strong Culture ensures
a competitive advantage
and is very difficult to copy.
It delivers better financial
performance, influences the
customer experience, attracts
and retains better talent, and
increases productivity.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion Week
Values: Integrity, Caring
Each year, UniCredit celebrates Diversity,
Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Week across the
Group. The week offers a time for celebration,
connection, and reflection on all we have
accomplished – reaffirming our commitment
to DE&I progression. DE&I Week served as
another key milestone in achieving the strong
cultural foundation we aspire to build for our
bank and its people.

key messages
The events took place on November 7-11, and
saw each country participate in a series of
engagement initiatives that were hosted at
the Group level and adopted at the local level.
Our
the
#EmpoweringU theme – empowering our
people to be champions of DE&I and in turn,
empowering the communities we operate in.
Throughout the week, we engaged our people
in conversations on eye-opening topics, raising
awareness and encouraging our people to
think outside the box. We also took time to
recognise the DE&I tangible best practices
48
across the Group that guide our behaviours
and the way we do business.
At UniCredit, we believe that when Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion work in harmony, great
things happen: People feel respected and val-
ued for their contributions, which directly
impacts productivity, and people feel a sense of
belonging, connection, and shared pride, which
increases well-being. DE&I encourages our col-
leagues to be able to express their views and
ideas which, in turn, fuels creativity and innova-
tion. When people feel their potential is
acknowledged it enables them to unlock their
talent, improve their performance and increase
levels of job satisfaction.
Contrary to previous years, in 2022 we diversi-
fied the DE&I Week experience by incorporating
several new components including a virtual
kick-off event streamed in all Group lan-
guages, local activations in all our countries, a
thought-provoking communications campaign
and DE&I Accountable Executive interviews
focused on five key topics for each day
(Gender in STEM, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Ethnic
and Cultural Diversity, and Generations), inter-
nal sharing of DE&I resources and best
practices, and much more.
All of this enables us to achieve sustainable
business growth and better serve everyone
from clients and communities to shareholders.

Europe’s next
generation
UniCredit Foundation Relaunch
Values: Ownership, Caring
the UniCredit Foundation
This year,
relaunched its Purpose and commitment to
empowering Europe’s youth by unlocking
their potential through equal education
opportunities. We believe that only by
investing in the next generation’s education
and progression, can we ensure growth and
development across our society.
In line with UniCredit’s ambition – to be the
bank for Europe’s future – our Foundation is
focused on giving Europe’s next generation
the key to unlocking their innate potential
and empowering them to become the
changemakers of our society.
To do this, the UniCredit Foundation is work-
ing towards combating school drop-out rates,
encouraging university attainment, promot-
ing study and research, and enhancing
employability. These all directly feed into the
Foundation’s new Purpose: to unlock the
potential of Europe’s next generation. The
UniCredit Foundation empowers our youth
by providing them with the tools and resourc-
es they need to become successful in their
academic and professional careers.
This is why the Foundation relaunched its
Mission: offering equal educational oppor-
tunities to Europe’s youth – our future
leaders of tomorrow. To pursue this ambitious
new
journey, the UniCredit Foundation
reshaped its governing bodies, electing a new
Board of Directors for the next three years,
which will be chaired by Andrea Orcel, Group
Chief Executive Officer and Head of Italy, and
vice-chaired by Professor Giorgio Barba
Navaretti. Serenella De Candia has main-
tained her role as a member of the Board,
while six new members have
joined:
Katharina Gehra, Szilvia Gyurkó, Roberto
Kutić, Dorith Salvarani-Drill, Gerry Salole
and Klaus Schwertner.
The nine international members aim at
ensuring there is equal representation both
internally (UniCredit Group) and externally
outside of the bank. Further, the careful
selection of representatives maintains a
strong presence of members from all four
UniCredit regions, who represent diverse
backgrounds, gender, expertise, and philan-
thropic experience.
At UniCredit, we believe that education is
essential. It is our responsibility as an insti-
tution to identify, support and empower our
youth – those individuals who will lay the
foundation for Europe’s progress and success
in the years to come. It is our bank’s Purpose
to empower communities to progress, and it
is our commitment to promoting social
advancement, in line with our ESG strategy
and UniCredit Group’s strategic plan.

An optimised
and digitalised
parental leave
process
At UniCredit, our bank remains a partner to
its people in both their personal and profes-
sional life. A well-designed parental leave
process is indispensable for promoting
young talent within the bank. The equal
opportunities for parents increase and it
contributes to a more balanced gender ratio
at all management levels. Our Group knows
that our people need to be supported in
planning their career breaks, especially in
occasions such as maternity leave and
parental leave.
This was one of the many outcomes and
improvements identified by the Gender
Diversity Programme
of UniCredit
HypoVereinsbank, which was launched in
2021. As a result, in 2022 the entire paren-
tal leave process was further optimised and
expanded with a focus on re-entry to the
bank and further career development.
One of the key measures was the introduction
of the new Golden Rules for the process. The
leadership,
Rules focused on part-time
returning to an equivalent position or man-
agement positions being kept vacant for six
months at the request of the employee,
pausing talent programmes, as well as
checklists for managers and employees.
Additionally, UniCredit HypoVereinsbank
offered the possibility to advance one’s
career during parental leave, regardless of
the current position, with the new “Stay
Connected” digital portal. Employees have
direct access to the internal job market and
can send their applications from the same
system accessible to active colleagues. The
parenting portal also offers information
about day care possibilities and other help-
ful topics focused on both family and
professional life.
A number of colleagues already benefit
from the optimisation of the process and
were able to return to their management
position after their break. This substantial
improvement in the parental leave process
has been one of the many activities to
strengthen DE&I in the German market and
foster our position as one of the Top
Employers in Germany.

job portal
Since May 2021, UniCredit HypoVereinsbank
has been using Avature, the new application
management system that includes new job
portals for the internal and external job mar-
ket in addition to simplified processing of
applications. This allows for improved posi-
tioning of the participating banks of the
UniCredit Group amongst applicants as well
as strengthening the employer brand.
The system uses the latest technologies and
developments in the employee and candi-
date journey. Physical forms, for example,
will be processed digitally in future and han-
dled entirely sustainably (e.g., in a “paperless”
way). In addition, we’ve been able to reduce
media disruptions for all parties involved by
simplifying and automating a large number of
process steps. In line with the Group’s policy,
the career portal as well as the administration
of applications by line managers is completely
barrier-free according to WCAG2 guidelines.
Together with the cooperation partner
Pfennigparade, the tool was tested for its
user-friendliness for people with physical
and mental disabilities. For example, the
colour scheme has high-contrast, and all
buttons and dropdown menus have clear
labels that can also be read by screen read-
ers. This makes it possible to promote
inclusion during the recruiting process. In
2022, additional modules have been intro-
duced that facilitate, for example, the
onboarding of new employees and the find-
ing and promotion of internal talent.

Zaba Kids Week
This year, Croatia hosted its first Zaba Kids Week.
Children of our colleagues from Zagreb and the nearby
area attended the five-day educational and entertain-
ment programme, which included 75 children of 63
Zagrebačka banka employees during the first week of
September, right before the official start of the new
school year.
The main goal of the initiative was to support parents
of children, ages 7 to 11 years old, an age group specif-
ically chosen as this is considered a vulnerable stage of
an adolescents’ youth. Zaba Kids Week was designed
through a combination of different physical activities
and learning workshops. This included workshops
about critical learning, cybersecurity, a “How to use
Microsoft office” package for schoolwork, a “How to
save money” workshop and finally, a “How to save the
planet” workshop about sustainable living.
Further, the week promoted creating an environment
where differences are embraced and respected – by
mixing groups in various roleplay scenarios, teamwork
activities where they learn inclusive listening, and
much more.
With this initiative, Zagrebačka banka wanted to create
an inclusive workplace where parents can thrive and
are not apprehensive about balancing their personal
and professional responsibilities. In this way, Zagrebačka
banka is empowering parents in their parenting role all
while exposing their children to new ideas, cultures,
customs, ideas.
IVET fertilisation
– offering IVF
benefits to our
employees
Our bank cares about its people. This also
means caring for them through all life obstacles
and challenges that come their way both at a
personal and professional level.
During 2022, for a certain number of our female
employees, we offered a reimbursement of the
costs for one IVF attempt.
To ensure as many employees as possible could
have the opportunity to exercise the right to this
benefit, the bank reimbursed the costs of this
programme up to the value of
€5,000. Further, the benefit was redeemable
both in our home country of Serbia and abroad.
The times in which we live and work may con-
front us with various challenges, but these
challenges are easier to overcome with the
support of family. Today, when an increasing
number of young people are leaving Serbia,
every step that empowers our people to build a
family in the country is extremely important.
We strive to follow and support our colleagues
through every stage of life – and family and
parenting are heavily supported by every mem-
ber of our bank.

At UniCredit Bank Hungary, it is essential that

this bank are well-equipped with the skills of
the future and are exposed to an environment
that will help them improve their professional
skills and behaviours. This is why the local tal-
ent programme, UP Academy, was created.
During the one-year programme, our top
talent was able to enjoy several development
opportunities including trainings held by
world-renowned professors, access to online
development platforms, shadowing, consul-
tation with psychologists, and a career
discussion with the People & Culture team.
At the end of the programme, our talents had
the opportunity to work on projects out of
their scope.
Together with their mentors, they worked on
topics such as exploring the concept of data
science and its use at the bank, preparing a
peer analysis based on EBA data or investi-
gating AML-related reports and possible
simplifications. To give them visibility and
networking opportunities, during the conclu-
sion of the event, participants presented the

team. After the successful closing of the
programme, our bank is preparing to launch

A digitalised candidate
experience through
Chatbot
Chatbot represents some of the latest artificial intelligence
deployed by UniCredit in recruitment programmes in Czech
Republic and Slovakia. It’s a smart recruitment chatbot that
interviews candidates for the first round and provides valuable data
both to the company and also to the candidates. Through Chatbot,
we are able to ensure that our candidates still have a quality
interview experience, while also optimising the hiring process
when it comes to time to fill a position.
The UniCredit Bot can do more than any other chatbot on the Czech
and Slovak market. It not only speaks to candidates but also analyses
their data, tests them and sorts them according to their suitability for
the position. Since the Bot was introduced, we have received fantastic
feedback from candidates who have undergone the hiring process
from start to finish, providing our potential employees-to-be with an
overall high-quality candidate experience.
The chatbot brings wide opportunity and high potential for digitali-
sation in our bank and its people. For this reason, in the coming
months, we will look to introduce it to other countries of the UniCredit
Group as a best practice. Furthermore, we plan to expand the func-
tionality of the chatbot for use beyond recruitment, using it for the
growth and development of existing employees.

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit Austria’s first inaugural
Green Covered Bond to
support green projects
Values: Ownership
At UniCredit Bank Austria, sustainability is part of our daily
commitment, and we continue to further implement environ-
mental, social and governance (ESG) aspects across our
business in line with the Group ESG Strategy.
In May, UniCredit Bank Austria successfully placed its first Green
Covered Bond on the capital market, reaching another milestone
in its sustainability journey. UniCredit Bank Austria’s Green
Covered Bond had a total volume of €500 million and a maturity
of 6 years, issued under UniCredit Group’s Sustainability Bond
Framework. Proceeds from this and future bonds will be used to
support local eligible green projects.
The demand for UniCredit Bank Austria’s Green Bond was high and
the book-building process reached a total amount of €1.3 billion
with the order book oversubscribed multiple times. The Green Bond
has a triple A rating from Moody’s and was issued to institutional
investors. The investor base was composed of 54 investors, with
39% in Germany, 20% in Austria, 12% in Benelux and the
remainder well diversified across other countries and regions.
The bond proceeds will be used for the financing or refinancing of
green buildings registered in UniCredit Bank Austria’s mortgage
cover pool and which comply with the eligibility criteria specified
in the Group Sustainability Bond Framework. UniCredit Bank
Austria was mandated as Sole Green Structurer and ING, LBBW,
Natixis, Raiffeisen Bank International and UniCredit were Joint
Lead Managers.
The commitment to the energy
transition and sustainable
business practices is bringing
about a fundamental change in
society and influencing every
single area of our lives.
As a bank, we have a central
role to play in the transition
to a low-carbon economy.
Channelling the flow of funds
into promising, climate-friendly
industries, activities and initia-
tives is and will be the central
joint challenge of the future.
Robert Zadrazil
CEO of UniCredit Bank Austria
UniCredit Bank Austria’s
Green Bond was a great
success on the international
capital market and it has
been oversubscribed. We are
very pleased about the high
demand; this issue shows how
much international investors
are convinced by the sustaina-
ble journey the UniCredit Bank
Austria is on and how high the
continuing interest in sustaina-
ble financial products is.

lion) energy sources, as well as green buildings,
including the Top 15% of Mortgages (rated
for energy performance) across all regions
(€228 million) and Real Estate (€27 million)
in Italy.
Meanwhile our Social Bond proceeds have
been allocated to finance projects with a posi-
tive social impact. So far, the focus has been on
welfare and social support services (75.1%
of allocations). Other projects supported
include education and training, health and
medical assistance and additional social servic-
es. The indirect impacts generated through the
bond proceeds include a total of 1.52 million
beneficiaries (149% of 2021 target); the
delivery of 2.62 million training hours, 482
training courses, 193 professional intern-
ships, 108 social integration activities; and
the provision of 1,322 beds in elderly homes,
1.21 million medical services and 555 social
houses (mainly in social tourism).
We continue to build on the success of our
inaugural Green and Social Bonds, working to
create a more sustainable and equitable future
for both businesses and individuals. For exam-
ple, in 2022, we successfully issued Green
Covered Bonds also in Germany (two for €500
million each), in Austria (one with a total
volume of €500 million) and in Hungary
(one for €60 million).

In June 2021, our bank successfully issued its
inaugural Senior Preferred Green Bond for
€1 billion. This was followed by the issuance
of our first Retail Social Bond for €155 mil-
lion in September 2021. Both issuances
marked significant milestones in our sustain-
ability journey, allowing the Bank to provide
further support to renewable energy and
green buildings in Italy while also advancing
welfare and social support services in the
country.
Both issuances took place under the Group’s

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit Leading solar

in Hungary
Sustainable solar energy
developments
Values: Ownership
ESG plays a fundamental role in every decision
we make and every action we take. We’ve seen
a very tangible example of this in Hungary,
which has increased the share of solar-de-
rived electricity in its electricity production
fivefold since 2018. Thanks to this substantial
improvement in a very short period of time,
10.6% of the country’s annual electricity pro-
duction comes from solar power, compared to
7.5% in Europe, making Hungary a prime
example for transformation towards sustaina-
ble energy production in Europe.
As one of the main financiers of sustainable
solar energy developments in the country,
UniCredit Bank Hungary has contributed to this
impressive increase by financing the construc-
tion of many Hungarian solar projects totalling
€250 million in structured loans.
A major contribution to our excellent lending
position in the solar market came from our
part in a significant solar park financing deal,
which was the largest corporate green loan
agreement of 2022 in Hungary, worth HUF
28 billion, to our client SolServices Kft. This
deal was a milestone not only due to its size
but the fact that the 100-megawatt solar
plant being built in Szolnok will be one of the
largest in the country, making an important
contribution to renewable electricity supply.
It will be able to generate the equivalent of
40% of the electricity consumption of the
entire population of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok
County while saving tens of thousands of
tons of CO2 emissions.
Our key to success in this field was solving
the problem of how to participate in the
financing of solar panel procurement in a
way that creates a closed financing chain
from the investment loan to the collateral
manager to the solar panel manufacturer.
This complex transaction also won UniCredit
the Transaction of the Year award. In addi-
tion, as a pioneer among local banks,
UniCredit Bank Hungary has further intro-
duced a specialist retail loan product for
purchasing and installing solar panels with a
favourable interest rate.
We are fully committed to
promoting sustainability,
environmental awareness
and ESG values.

Announcing a Partnership
with Teach For All
Values: Caring
There is no one single factor that will deter-
mine the future success of our continent more
than the education and development of our
young people. To do so, we understood the
need to upskill and support teachers, equip-
ping them with all the tools they need to be
the best educators possible.
Last September, UniCredit and Teach For All
were proud to join forces to advance education
for children through the announcement of a
foundational pan- European partnership
reaching across seven UniCredit core coun-
tries: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy,
Romania, Slovakia, and Serbia. This new alli-
ance leveraged on a common approach,
focused on innovation and inclusion to achieve
results and to unlock the full potential of
European youth.
The collaboration was a significant reinforce-
ment of Teach For All’s efforts, providing
resources and support in training the teachers
involved to further empower local communities
to reimagine education systems in under-re-
sourced areas, and helping to build more
inclusive school environments that offer quality
education for all children, year after year.
With the help of these dedicated educators,
students gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes
and values they need to navigate a changing
society and the new world of work. Our Group
understands that with the right mindset and
skills, our youth will be better positioned to
attain financial security and become informed,
contributing citizens to our communities. By
creating better opportunities for them to real-
ise their full potential, this
innovative
programme is developing a new generation of
European leaders.

activities for the 2022-2023 school year, as

UniCredit signs up to
Sustainable STEEL Principles to
promote greener steelmaking
Values: Ownership
We remain strongly committed to supporting
our clients in achieving their ESG targets as a
core part of our efforts to drive a just and fair
transition to a low carbon and more inclusive
world economy.
Alongside five other top lenders, we announced
our signing of the Sustainable STEEL
Principles, a climate-aligned finance agree-
ment for the steel sector.
Steel is a fundamental material in the manu-
facturing industry, used in a wide variety of
goods. Due to the sector’s reliance on coal, it
is the largest source of industrial carbon
emissions globally (7%). Designed by a work-
ing group comprised of UniCredit, Citi, ING,
Société Générale and Standard Chartered, the
Sustainable STEEL Principles have been
drawn up to tackle this problem head on and
significantly reduce carbon emissions from
steel production.
This agreement amongst lenders, provided a
framework for assessing and disclosing the
degree to which the emissions associated
with their steel loan portfolios are in line
with 1.5°C climate targets – providing the
necessary tools for client engagement and
advocacy. Signatories represent a combined
bank loan portfolio of approximately $23
billion in lending commitments to the steel
sector, for a market share of over 11% of
total private sector steel lending, according
to RMI research.
Moreover, for banks like ours with net zero
commitments, the SSP provide ready-made
implementation guidance to achieve these
targets. With steel production representing
the largest source of industrial carbon emis-
sions globally,
the Sustainable STEEL
Principles are a key step in the journey
towards Net Zero. As a founding signatory, we
look forward to deepening our dialogue with
clients and industry peers to promote a
greener future.
ESG remains a key pillar of our Strategic Plan,
UniCredit Unlocked, with ambitious targets for
all areas of the business, including a total of
€150 billion in new cumulative ESG volumes
by 2024. Furthermore, we continue to work on
reducing our own environmental footprint
with a commitment to reach net-zero on the
bank’s own emissions by 2030 and on our
financed emissions by 2050.

A market leader
in financing for
renewables
UniCredit Serbia leads renewable
project financing
Values: Ownership
ESG is everyone’s responsibility – and this
responsibility is recognised at the Group
level, as well as in our local countries.
UniCredit Bank Serbia has been active in
structuring and arranging financing for
renewables’ projects since the adoption of
the first local legal framework on this topic.
In the Serbian market, UniCredit has partici-
pated
in and arranged five wind farm
financings – two of them alongside other
financial institutions and the remainder
under bilateral agreements. The two highly
notable deals we were part of in 2022 further
confirm our leadership position in renewa-
bles’ financing in the country.
In September 2022, UniCredit Bank Serbia
and Elicio Ali VE, a 100% subsidiary of Elicio
NV, successfully completed the refinancing
of the 42 MW Alibunar Wind Farm, a facility
which supplies electricity to just under
30,000 households. The green energy pro-
duced by this project is expected to reduce
CO2 emissions in Serbia by almost 95,000
tons per year.
The transaction underlines the continued
strong cooperation between the two compa-
nies, as well as UniCredit’s market-leading
position in the structuring and financing of
wind power projects in Serbia.
UniCredit Bank Serbia was the leading struc-
turing bank and sole lender in the €53
million refinancing, whilst also acting as
account bank and hedging bank for the
restructured interest rate swap. Furthermore,
our bank in Serbia successfully advised
Masdar, Taaleri Energia and DEG on the
refinancing of the Čibuk wind farm –
demonstrating our leadership in Project
Finance and Debt Advisory in CE&EE.
UniCredit Bank Serbia acted as Sole Debt
Adviser, Sole Bookrunner, Mandated Lead
Arranger, Hedging Bank, Account Bank and
Security and Facility Agent for the Čibuk wind
farm refinancing, successfully completed on
23 September 2022.
Vetroelektrane Balkana doo (Čibuk 1) is the
largest wind project in Serbia with a produc-
tion capacity of 158 MW. With 57 GE turbines,
Čibuk 1 produces enough electricity to supply
around 87,000 households thus offsetting
the equivalent of around 380,000 tons of
CO2 each year.

Another step in
our journey to Net

UniCredit is the first bank in Europe to
obtain the ESG GRESB scoring on its
corporate real estate portfolio
Values: Integrity, Ownership
UniCredit, in line with the Group’s ESG Strategy
and Net Zero commitment, is the first bank in
Europe to obtain the Global Real Estate
Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) scoring on
its corporate real estate portfolio. The total
portfolio analysed against GRESB’s sustainability
criteria included properties owned by the Group
across Central and Eastern Europe, with an
approximate value of €5 billion.
ESG principles are at the core of all our real estate
activities, and we continue to strive to evaluate,
monitor and consistently improve the ESG perfor-
mance of our assets and related management
processes. In line with the Group’s ESG Strategy,
which is a key pillar of the UniCredit Unlocked
business plan, the GRESB project represents a
tangible example of our sustainability commit-
ments, further reinforcing our leadership in the
implementation of innovative ESG initiatives.
The GRESB Real Estate Assessment is a global
ESG scoring and benchmarking mechanism for
listed real estate companies, privately owned
funds, developers, and investors in the real estate
sector. In 2021, more than 1,500 property compa-
nies, REITs, funds, and developers took part in the
Real Estate Assessment, which covers approxi-
mately $5.7 trillion in assets under management
and 117,000 assets in 66 countries.
The initiative represented an important mile-
stone in the Group’s sustainable transition
journey and showcases UniCredit as a frontrun-
ner on ESG disclosure related to property
management. As a specific objective, the GRESB
scores will be consolidated over time through
continued monitoring of the ESG performance of
the Group’s properties and the related manage-
ment processes, and a constant benchmarking of
these against the highest market standards.
Furthermore, the Bank continues to adopt
energy and space efficiency measures to
reduce its carbon footprint, which is a core
priority of its ESG Strategy and Strategic Plan
targets.

manufactures wind turbines, successfully com-
pleted a Rights Issue with gross proceeds of
around €212 million, making it the largest
German Rights Issue of 2022. UniCredit acted as
Joint Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner on
the transaction. With significant support from
anchor shareholder Acciona and a high take-up
ratio of 96.3%, the transaction was a great suc-
cess. UniCredit and Nordex have been partners for
many years, jointly working on the energy transi-
tion in Europe.
The Nordex Group is an important driver of the
global transition to renewable energy. Their focus
is on making renewable energy as affordable as
possible by continuously reducing the cost of
energy (COE) from newly installed wind turbines
and developing highly efficient wind turbine gener-
ators. Today, wind energy is already the most
economical electricity source in many places and
the Nordex Group’s product portfolio continues to
actively promote the expansion of such alternative
energies.
With the Rights Offer, the company aims to
strengthen its capital structure by increasing its
equity ratio in the current volatile environment for
the wind industry. Nordex believes the increased
cash position will safeguard against risks from the
short-term headwinds affecting the industry, and
further improve its delivery to customers.

solution
Romania plans to significantly reduce its traffic
emissions by 2025 with the goal of having no
more than 250,000 vehicles older than 15
years on its streets. According to the European
Automobile Manufacturers Association, in
2021, Romania already saw an increase in elec-
tric cars of over 120% compared to 2020, which
is above the European Union average. To further
support this ambition, UniCredit launched the
GoGreen initiative in 2022.
GoGreen is a new financing solution for the
purchase of 100% electric or hybrid vehicles
through leasing. It offers tailored benefits in
terms of leasing structure and pricing, with an
advance payment of only 5% of the purchase
value and a variable interest rate composed of
Euribor for three months plus a promotional
margin starting from 2.99%. In this way,
GoGreen helps make the purchase of an
emissions-free or low-emissions car more
affordable.
Through GoGreen, our Leasing team in Romania
contributes to the efforts to renew the national
car fleet while encouraging the purchase and use
of vehicles with low environmental impact. The
GoGreen financing period can vary from one to
five years, and the residual value is 1%. In addi-

provided by current local legislation, from the
advantages available through the RABLA 2022

Climate

Only together, we can save the planet. At
Climate Week 2022 in Austria, we took
another tangible and important step in this
direction, together with Glacier, raising
awareness for climate protection.
In cooperation with Glacier, an international
team of climate enthusiasts, product experts,
and community builders, UniCredit Bank
Austria’s employees spent five days engag-
ing in deep discussions to raise our awareness
on climate protection. Glacier’s goal is to
inspire companies and their employees to set
up climate protection initiatives and imple-
ment ESG in their businesses. During the
Climate Week, both our employees and rep-
resentatives from Glacier engaged in fruitful
discussions about current climate conditions,
what each of us can do to contribute to a
more sustainable tomorrow, and much more.
To keep our people engaged throughout the
week, in addition to the daily videos shared
across UniCredit Bank Austria, targeted quiz-
zes were promoted (with answers shown the
next day) and key learning resources and
easy to digest content pills were shared,
allowing our people to learn more about cli-
mate issues and sustainability.
Climate action requires a transformation that
can only be achieved together. In line with its
commitment to sustainability, UniCredit
Bank Austria is a proud founding partner of
Glacier, and hosts and supports the Climate
Week with more than 500 other participat-
ing companies all over Austria.

We strive to make a positive impact on our
people’s health, especially for those most
vulnerable. Through a traditional initiative
“Think Pink”, also in 2022, we invited medical
specialists and women who have fought with
breast cancer to hold talks to raise awareness
about the importance of early breast cancer
detection and regular check-ups among our
bank’s employees.
Together with VISA and our sister Bank
UniCredit Bank d.d., we also collected funds
to provide free mammography examinations
for women across Bosnia and Herzegovina,
psycho-social support, dedicated educational
sessions and care packages for each woman in
Bosnia and Herzegovina who has been through
breast cancer surgery.
Furthermore, in Banja Luka, we offered more
than 1,000 free mammography examinations
through the initiative “My Circle of Support” in
the past two years. Support and care for our
communities is our duty, helping to create a
more inclusive society and listening to the needs
of vulnerable groups. We are proud that this ini-
tiative has directly supported 1,000 women
through free check-ups, therefore also supporting
their entire families, over the last two years.
We believe that we must continuously work to
raise awareness of the importance of preven-

today and tomorrow and every day, should
educate and empower women on what is most
important - caring for our health.

our business around our clients.
Keeping our clients at the centre
is what allows us to deliver
competitive and effective
value-added services to clients
across the Group.
Under our UniCredit Unlocked strate-
gic plan, Client Solutions leveraged
two best-in-class product factories –
Corporate and Individual Solutions –
to deliver these key capabilities and
combine that with a best-in-class
service offering.
Whether it was steering Porsche to
its €9.4 billion initial public offering,
bringing fibre-to-the-home connec-
tions to over 34 million European
households, or advising the Republic
of Austria around its inaugural Green
Bond Framework – we have played an
integral role in some of Europe’s most
visible transactions. What’s more, we
have also been putting the client at
the heart of our digital transformation.
Take our Corporate Portal, for instance.
A single-entry point for corporate cli-
ents, designedto enhance the digital
experience through simplification and
harmonisation. Now available across
thirteen countries, we have increased
client connectivity sixfold in the last
five years.
Moreover, in a year characterised by
extreme and sudden waves of market
volatility, we were able to support our
client base to the fullest extent – from
large corporates to SMEs – in accessing
the hedging solutions that best suit
their needs. Without our digital tools
and our client-first mindset, this sim-
ply would not have been possible.

Best-in-class product offerings,

integration for the mutual benefit of
our clients
Values: Integrity, Ownership
UniCredit and Allianz signed a multi-country
Framework Agreement, setting the tone for
enhanced collaboration which benefits clients
of both companies. This agreement builds on
the companies’ long-standing and highly suc-
cessful partnership, which first started in 1996.
It has also paved the way for deeper cooperation
between the two groups in the insure-banking
business, namely in Italy, Germany, Central
and Eastern Europe, where UniCredit proudly
serves over 15 million clients and Allianz
Group serves over 30 million clients.
Protection and Investment are two strongly linked
areas that are crucial for our bank’s strategy. At
UniCredit, we protect our clients during the most
important times in their lives. As their partner, we
support them with the management of their
assets, guiding them and providing tangible
answers to their needs. This is the direction we
moved in, both for Italy and other countries in our
Group, when we recently strengthened the
partnership agreement with Allianz. The
agreement will help to generate even more
value through an integrated approach, by lever-
aging the excellent service from Allianz and
complementing this with UniCredit’s offering.
This agreement, which marked a remarkable
step forward in the execution of our strategic
plan, was a testament to what can be created
through a strong and effective partnership. It
consolidated best-in-class product offerings,
innovation, and technological integration for
the mutual benefit of our respective clients,
further underscoring our commitment to this
sector. It is a blueprint for how we intend to
streamline our joint ventures and maximise
the benefits of all future partnerships.
We understand our clients and their needs. We
are committed to meeting those needs. Now,
through this new, strengthened partnership
agreement, we can offer not only an integrat-
ed approach with Allianz, but broader and
better solutions than ever before.
This agreement joins together
best-in-class product offerings,
innovation and technological
integration for the mutual
benefit of our respective clients,
underscoring our commitment

Values: Integrity, Caring
At UniCredit, we continue to build our busi-
ness around clients. Client Solutions
represents the strategic evolution of our very
successful former corporate and investment
banking business. As part of the new operat-
ing model
launched under UniCredit
Unlocked, we have opened up our product
platform to all Group clients – bringing the
scale of each of our different banks together
in combination with targeted product exper-
tise that we can deliver in the countries. We
are no longer a collection of silos, we are
interdependent. As a result, we feel much
lighter, nimbler and stronger as an
organisation.
Client Solutions is also the area in which we
house all of the specialist products that the
Group offers to its clients. It is an evolution of
the way we worked before and one that is
helping us to fully unlock our potential. We
want to empower our bankers with both the
right tools and best-in-class products to focus
their attention, effort, and energy on delivering
for clients. Our clients have unique needs and
understanding them increases the quality of
our strategic dialogue. Now more than ever,
they need our guidance: we are ready and
eager to support them.
Proximity to our clients and a profound knowl-
edge of the markets in which we operate, are
the pillars of our sustainable growth. We have
harnessed the power of being both interna-
tional and local at once; whilst we are more
international than the local banks, our granu-
larity within the countries we operate means
that we continue to be more local than our
international peers.

2022 Annual Reports and Accounts · UniCredit Simplifying to
help our clients
succeed
Embedding simplification best
practices as we build our bank for
the future
Values: Ownership
Simplifying our bank is one of our top priorities
– not only to provide our people with an effi-
cient way of working, but to ensure clients
receive a seamless service and achieve their
desired objectives.
In 2022, we redirected our focus to simplifica-
tion and how it can be embraced at all levels of
our Group. We reduced, for instance, our organ-
isational layers by 28% – with decision making
levels decreased by a further 43%. This at once
streamlined the structure of our organisation
and freed up our colleagues’ time – allowing for
more effective, client-centric decision-making.
Our people are fundamental in driving the
transformation process across all areas of
our business. They are our greatest source of
inspiration, and we want to ensure both that
their voice is listened to, and ideas are put
into action.
For example, we managed to reduce the time
for new cash loans and refinancing to only ten
minutes – an initiative already bearing fruit
across Italy, with further progressive releases in
Italy, Germany and Austria. Moreover, we have
increased automatic credit decisions to almost
90% in Italy, which allowed a significant reduc-
tion of income documentation required (from
70% to 20%).
In Croatia, we launched Zaba Smart Invest –
an investment advisory tool for individual
clients, based on an internally developed algo-
rithm for personalised investment proposals.
This shortened the time spent having advisory
conversations by more than a half.
Across Client Solutions, we have sought to put
decisions closer to the client, enhancing our
connectivity with front end tools whilst mini-
mising manual work its associated risks. Take
our Corporate Portal, for example. A single-en-
try point for our corporate clients, designed to
enhance the digital experience by leveraging on
simplification and harmonisation. Now availa-
ble across thirteen countries, we have
increased client connectivity sixfold in the last
five years. Intuitive processes like these have
undoubtedly been beneficial for our clients.
Finally, we have drastically lowered the number
of internal reports being produced, which has
resulted in our colleagues having over 300,000
fewer unnecessary emails to deal with. But it
doesn’t stop there – we are fostering momen-
tum and ownership to deliver true and lasting
transformation across the bank by breaking our
habits and streamlining our organisational
structure.
Our simplification strategy is multi-dimension-
al and a business necessity, as well as a key
contributor to our clients’ successes and the
communities that we serve. If we are to succeed
as the bank for Europe’s future, it is imperative
that we all maintain a strong path on the jour-
ney of simplification together.

UniCredit per l’Italia
Values: Ownership, Caring
Our bank takes its commitment to empowering
our communities seriously – as we live this
commitment through tangible actions impact-
ing the communities which we serve.
UniCredit sought to help Italy tackle the current
macroeconomic crisis with €5 billion of funds
to support companies, the suspension of instal-
ment payments on loans to businesses and
households and a postponement of charges for
private clients worth a total of around €3 bil-
lion. The staggering increase in energy and raw
material costs, and in the general level of prices
of goods and services, has had negative conse-
quences on the balance sheets of Italian
companies and households.
In order to alleviate the impact on local commu-
nities and continue supporting the country’s
growth, our Bank set up the “UniCredit per
l’Italia” plan, including €5 billion to support the
liquidity needs of businesses in the face of rising
energy costs, through the dedicated CreditPiù
facility, with maturities from 3 to 36 months
and a grace period of up to 6 months.
It also included an instalment plan that offered
the option to postpone payments for individual
purchases or the expenditure for an entire
month made using Carta Flexia. In addition, we
launched a dedicated 12-month business mort-
gage moratorium – upon evaluation of the bank
– for companies who have not already benefited
from government guarantees.
Lastly, we implemented a flexibility module of
mortgages for families and individuals, which
our Bank offered more than 400,000 Italian
household clients who hold a mortgage, the
opportunity to suspend the principal payment
of the mortgage for 12 months, to reduce the
monthly instalments by reviewing the repay-
ment plan or to postpone the payment up to
3 instalments.

The platform represented a new approach to

multi-asset and four equity (global and the-
matic) bespoke funds, structured with the
involvement of Amundi, Blackrock, Fidelity, J.P.

across Italy, Germany and Austria.
Across all areas of the business, we put the
needs of our clients firmly at the centre of
everything we do. The launch of our onemarkets

tion as our bank broadened its range of
investment solutions. The product offering will
continue to be gradually enlarged, leveraging
on UniCredit’s ‘open architecture’ approach. At
the same time, the initiative is a concrete result
of the bank’s UniCredit Unlocked strategy and
stated ambition to drive sustainable, capi-
tal-light revenues with a client-centric approach.

The latest step in strengthening

management business
Values: Ownership
Shortly after the launch of our onemarkets
Fund products, we announced the signing of
a letter of intent with leading Italian asset
manager Azimut Holding, outlining the main
princi- ples for the distribution of asset
management products in Italy.
The partnership accelerated our strategy to
drive greater value and scale from our exist-
ing asset management business for the
benefit of clients – broadening our activities
along the value chain as we look to rebuild
core competencies.
At the same time, the agreement also ena-
bled us to expand our own ecosystem,
through the potential distribution of banking
products to Azimut. Azimut will incorporate,
and autonomously run, a management com-
pany in Ireland that will develop investment
products for distribution in Italy through our
powerful network on a non-exclusive basis.
Based on the implementation agreements to
be signed by the parties, UniCredit will be
entitled to exercise a call option on the newly
established Irish management company fully
owned by Azimut in five years’ time, or earlier
subject to specific circumstances, as is cus-
tomary in this kind of transaction.
In the event of the call option being exer-
cised, UniCredit would control its own high
value factory together with onemarkets Fund
products and other asset management enti-
ties already part of the Group, thereby
re-building selective components of the asset
management value chain.
As a bank, we are always seeking out ways to
generate added value for our stakeholders.
Whilst this partnership will allow us to offer
our seven million Italian clients more solu-
tions,
it also underlines our enduring
commitment to strengthening the asset
management industry in the country.

First securitisation deal in Bulgaria
Values: Ownership, Caring
The European Investment Bank Group (EIB)
and UniCredit Bulbank Bulgaria signed a
Guarantee on the synthetic securitisation of
SME and Mid-Cap loans originated by
UniCredit Bulbank last year. The notional
amount of the Guarantee is €90 million on a
portfolio of €1 billion. The transaction repre-
sents a significant milestone as the first ever
securitisation of any type carried out by our
CE&EE division
The EIB Group’s guarantee will allow UniCredit
Bulbank to finance new eligible projects under-
taken by Bulgarian small and medium size
enterprises (SMEs). With further backing from
the Pan-European Guarantee Fund (EGF),
this is expected to unlock new loans amounting
to more than €630 million at more favourable
conditions especially for SMEs suffering from
the economic consequences of the aftermath
of the COVID-19 pandemic and instability due
to events in Ukraine.
This was the first EIB Group synthetic secu-
ritisation in Bulgaria and is expected to
provide a very strong signaling effect for the
Bulgarian banking market as a whole.
Furthermore, it was the first securitisation
with a UniCredit subsidiary in Central and
Eastern Europe. The transaction shows the
continued successful cooperation between
UniCredit Bulbank and EIB, following similar
agreements with both EIB and EIF in 2021
and before.
The size of the transaction, the economic
KPIs met and the resulting benefit at both
the Group and Bulbank level have remarked
this transaction as an unprecedented suc-
cess, supporting the Group’s corporate and
SME lending business
in Bulgaria and
beyond. The transaction was the outcome of
great co-operation across many parts of the
UniCredit Group, including Bulbank, ALM
CE&EE, CE&EE CIB FIG, Group ALM & Funding,
and the Securitisation & Asset-Backed
Solutions team in a complex, and innovative
project which was over one year in the
making and will help to further set the
scene for other securitisation efforts by the
Group CE&EE team.

Our bank is committed to empowering our

leaders and changemakers of our future. This
starts with providing them with the resources
and tools they need to be successful. In 2022,
UniCredit, in collaboration with SACE, sup-
ported The Social Hub (formerly The Student
Hotel) project with a €145 million social
and environmental impact financing loan
for the development of two innovation and
creativity hubs. These hubs will open in 2024
and aim to connect different communities of
people across all walks of life in Rome and
Florence.
The Social Hub (TSH) and UniCredit agreed to
include impact financing terms in the form of
a discount on the interest rate, which TSH has
committed to reinvest by providing students
from disadvantaged socio-economic back-
grounds with scholarships in the form of rent
reductions. The project will support the
regeneration of the San Lorenzo district in
Rome and the Belfiore district in Florence,
revamping the areas for the local communi-
ties and expanding the availability of student
housing in both cities.
The Social Hub is known for its commitment
to building its premises in a responsible and
impactful way to benefit both the local
community and the environment. Backed by
UniCredit’s financial support, together with
SACE, the San Lorenzo district in Rome and
the Belfiore district in Florence will benefit
from more student housing opportunities
which will in turn support the wider positive
development of these inner-city areas. The
project also increases the availability of
quality accommodation, supporting a sector
that was harshly hit by the pandemic.
We have long recognised the importance of
creating meaningful opportunities in the
heart of our local communities. Through
partnerships like those with The Social Hub,
we are empowering these communities to
unlock their fullest potential.

understand how essential it is for them to ensure
they are embedding waste reduction efforts in the
way they conduct business. Their mission is to use
the best quality materials and complement that
with craftsmanship. An innovative idea of the
company is to recycle coffee capsules by placing
collection containers capsules in front of some of
the biggest retailers in Bulgaria.
In 2020, UniCredit Bulbank signed a 12+12+12-
month revolving limit (BGN 250,000) in support of
this thoughtful and earth-friendly initiative. And
there’s a science behind all of this. The coffee from
recycled capsules will be used for fertilisation and
compost soil for growing mushrooms. From there,
the plastic is then processed into granules to then
be used in production of furniture boards for their
business – all while maintaining the quality of
work the brand is known for. The capacity of the
capsule processing machine is 5 million annually.
By embedding sustainability in their everyday
practices, our bank can empower companies like
Pachkov to do their work well, all while diminishing
their carbon footprint one furniture piece at a time.

UniCredit supported the development of the
entrepreneurial environment among women,
joining the multi-year national programme for
the development of entrepreneurship among
women in the sector of small and medium
enterprises implemented by the Ministry of
Entrepreneurship and Tourism.
The main objective of the Romanian initiative
was to stimulate and support the establish-
ment and development of private economic
structures owned and managed by women,
improving their economic performance, and
achieving intelligent and inclusive economic
growth. Based on digitisation, sustainable
development, innovation, and training entre-
preneurship, we can tackle problems related
to maintaining the balance between family
and professional obligations and prejudices
still existing at a local level.
Through this programme, beneficiaries can
obtain non-refundable financial aid from the
state within the maximum limit of RON
200,000, an amount that represented a max-
imum of 95% of the value of eligible expenses
related to the project. For eligible beneficiaries,
UniCredit Bank facilitates the opening of sepa-
rate current accounts for accessing the
non-refundable aid and provided bridging
loans of up to 95% of the value of the eligible
expenses related to the project and invest-
ment loans for co-financing of up to 15% of
the value necessary to ensure the individual
contribution.
Empowering our communities starts with
people, and providing people with fair and
equitable opportunities is one of the key driv-

Going beyond our duty as a financial institu-

providing tools and resources to those who
need it most. In 2022, UniCredit Bank in
Serbia and the European Investment Bank
(EIB) launched a dedicated credit line total-
ing €30 million, aimed at supporting the
employment, professional training, and
long-term retention of people from vulnera-

These funds have enabled UniCredit to
on-lend to Serbian companies that are com-
mitted to improving the social impact of
their businesses and creating long-term
leadership and employment opportunities
for women, youths and segments of the
population that face higher entry barriers in
the labour market. As a bank, it is essential
that we look to supporting companies who
empower their people, in-line with our
bank’s commitment to empowering our

In addition to funding, Serbian companies will
receive a performance-based financial reward
if they meet specific targets. This is with the
aim to foster leadership, employment and
professional development opportunities for
women, youths and groups who currently
tackle these barriers head-on in the current
market, such as people with disabilities, refu-
gees and more. The financial reward is
provided as a grant under the EIB’s Economic
Resilience Initiative (ERI), aimed at boost-
ing job creation and sustainable private sector
growth. This was the first EIB private sector
loan in the Western Balkans under ERI,
which contributed to the most important
goals of promoting sustainable development.

we offer them a full-scale, first-class service

To upscale the infrastructure, bring it

Values: Integrity, Caring
Embedding digital in the way we do business
is essential if we want to build our competitive
bank for tomorrow. With the launch of
OneWealth in the beginning of 2022, we
offered our Wealth Management & Private
Banking clients holistic portfolio advice using
a portfolio and risk analysis tool. Together with
their advisor, our clients can build a portfolio
that is tailored to their needs, while our port-
folio and risk analysis enables them to
understand exactly which interrelationships
and decisions affect their overall investment
and how.
With OneWealth, consultants no longer only
look at individual components of a portfolio
but analyse it as a whole. More than 3,000
daily updated risk factors and a variety of
market scenarios are considered – this way,
clients can identify when and why there is a
need for action and anticipate future market
developments in their investment decisions.
With just a few clicks, advisors can create
investment proposals and tailor the invest-
ment strategy precisely to the needs and risk
range of clients. Contract creation and client
communications are carried out on a consist-
ently digital basis. Printouts are just as
unnecessary as the cumbersome switching
between different banking systems. The work-
flows are thus greatly simplified, leaving more
time for the exchange with the clients.
This has revealed additional potential of our
clients’ assets and has given them more
choice and flexibility for their investments –
as well as a whole new view into the potential
future of their assets. Together with their
advisor, our clients can determine how they
can fully exploit their risk variant and the
performance strength of their assets as well
as how they can further diversify and develop
their portfolio. They can do this through
understanding the future scenarios and oppor-
tunities of their selected assets, which the
new tool supports.
Like our people, our clients are experiencing
first-hand what it truly means to “live digi-
tal”. OneWealth made an
important
contribution to achieving the strategic goals
of simplification and client centricity. In this
is helping UniCredit
way, OneWealth
HypoVereinsbank achieve
its ambitious
growth plans in the German wealth manage-
ment and private banking market.

Keeping

UniCredit expands its social
media footprint
Values: Ownership, Caring
Now more than ever, it is essential that our
people remain well connected across our
business. Digital communities and how they
interact have become increasingly important
and have never been richer, more vibrant,
and more impactful on people’s daily experi-
ences than they are now. In line with our
ambition of being the bank of Europe’s future,
we strongly value relating and engaging with
virtual communities as well as empowering
them by providing the digital tools and
resources they need to stay connected with
each other.
In an effort to continue transforming our
Bank into a more integrated, fast, and digi-
tal organisation for our people and our
clients, our goal was to invest in building
strong social media relationships that evolve,
grow and resist the test of time.
Each market communicates to its audience
with the aim of highlighting its own distinc-
tive features while leveraging the strength
and the communicative power of a large
Group. In this respect, social media and vir-
tual communities have become a key source
for intra-company inclusion, building a strong
foundation for social relations among our
people and with the outside community both
in our industry and beyond.
To promote such inclusion through a genuine
interaction based on facts, figures and con-
crete and meaningful actions, UniCredit joined
the social media landscape more than a dec-
ade ago. We have always valued the
importance of connecting and speaking to all
our stakeholders across Europe and experi-
menting with new formats and trends to share
insights and unique stories.
To further connect with those communities and
reach the younger generation, we opened our
@UniCredit_EU global account on Instagram
in May. Thanks to an impactful storytelling
campaign leveraging images, short videos, and
valuable financial tips, we have been able to
reinforce the proximity to our clients, commu-
nities, and people. One month later, we also
launched our first global Facebook profile,
another platform offering useful and engaging
content to fully discover the potential of an
ever-evolving banking institution. To cement
these efforts, we drove the importance of our
key strategic initiatives through a dedicated
Group-wide podcast – featuring key leaders
from across our business.
UniCredit’s presence on
Instagram and
Facebook leverages the creative and engag-
ing tools that the social network makes
available – offering followers a vivid and rich
dialogue to foster a daily relationship with
our Bank, its progress and our digital impact
across Europe.

for Digital-first
corporate
services
Investing in new online solutions
Values: Ownership
Digitalisation is at the heart of our simplifica-
tion strategy. That is why our priority in 2022
was to invest in new online solutions, such as
UC Hedge and UC Pay FX, to offer our corporate
clients an excellent digital-first experience.
We developed UC Hedge - a UniCredit online
offering for small and mid-sized corporate
clients - to support them with the end-to-end
management of FX risk, which includes
transparent insight into their FX exposure,
possibility to analyse the FX Risk against the
client’s Hedging Policy and calibrate it, and
trading execution according to the analysed
FX risk scenarios.
UC Hedge is the first business component
deployed on the new Cloud Digital Platform.
It is a cloud-based application, technically
composed of global, modular components,
developed as micro-frontend/services-based
APIs, scalable to any country and customer
segments for e-Banking solutions. In 2023,
we plan to open the full commercialisation
of the product, improve the current func-
tionalities and more based on customer
needs and habits.
Keeping our clients at the centre of everything
we do, we invested in developing UC Pay FX – a
digital solution that provides tailor-made cur-
rency conversion of foreign payments based on
customer-specific needs. The application was
released in Germany on the UC Corporate
Portal to serve clients with relevant informa-
tion on converted transaction volumes, review
of product details, reports and settings.
Furthermore, UC Pay FX can be digitally pur-
chased and activated by Customers directly in
the Corporate Portal via the brand-new
Customer Digital Onboarding.
Our bank plans to extend this digital solution to
Italy for the upcoming year and supplement it
with new features, such as Dealing Offline/
Online, Currency Guide and Financial Institution
dedicated upgrades.

A Group-wide Digital transformation
through cloud technology
Values: Integrity, Ownership, Caring
With the adoption of new working patterns
demanded by the global pandemic, our bank
accelerated our digital transformation at
UniCredit to forge a truly visible and connect-
ed workforce – offering a seamless experience
across all devices anytime, anywhere.
UniCredit is committed to empowering our
employees with the use of technology. This is
no easy task for an organisation employing
more than 80,000 people across 13 coun-
tries. The way we communicate has changed
with the launch of an extensive IT migration
program to introduce a unified modern work-
force platform and unite all employees.
We embraced collaboration solutions, such
as the O365 package, to enable consistently
more agile and modern working. In 2022, the
project reached nearly 100% completion
across geographies and has proven transfor-
mational, with the latest migration to our
single workplace platform including 15,000
users from Central and Eastern European
countries, which was completed in less than
six months.
By leveraging digital tools such as Microsoft
Teams, OneDrive and Outlook, we offered our
colleagues a mobile phone solution that
mirrors our laptop and desktop devices. In
addition, we reviewed and reduced the num-
ber of applications available to simplify the
work of our people. For example, the new
corporate mobile app catalogue allows col-
leagues to customise their mobile workspace,
cutting down on unnecessary clutter on their
phone screens.
Leveraging local skills was crucial to the
speed of the rollout, which was made possi-
ble through an upskilling and reskilling
programme launched alongside the main
migration. Key to supporting our transforma-
tion was ensuring that our users were
developing the necessary skills and becoming
certified on our new solution to help us in the
immediate rollout as well as in the future.
Our employees have changed how they live
their day-to-day lives and are more confident
using these new solutions: collaborating,
sharing documents, brainstorming, and par-
ticipating in breakout sessions – ultimately
embracing a cultural shift that complements
simplification with digitalisation.

Values: Ownership
Keeping our people connected to the busi-
ness and to one another, is a key driver of our
success. A high-speed Wi-Fi connection is
essential for our Bank’s efficiency. It allows
us to access Group IT resources, carry out our
activities, collaborate with colleagues and
clients more effectively, and develop stronger
relationships.
We began taking back control of our largely
outsourced technology and continued build-
ing the core capability internally. Kicking off
the first milestone of the strategic skills
internalisation, we started by upgrading our
Wi-Fi in our Milan offices, managed entirely
by our in-house experts.
To simplify our colleagues’ daily work and
enhance their service, we worked diligently
to install more powerful and efficient Wi-Fi
networks on our premises. As part of the
project, in the last quarter of the year, we
successfully delivered a new generation Wi-Fi
network to our UniCredit offices in Milan and
continued the implementation throughout
Italy at our bank’s Lampugnano offices.
The infrastructure consists of over 500
Wireless Access Points,
significantly
improving the bandwidth availability and
speed for the connected users. Furthermore,
we used a modern monitoring system lever-
aging Artificial Intelligence for a complete
view of real-time performances and predic-
tive issues monitoring.
We obtained excellent results in terms of the
quality of the service, speed, and latency. In
fact, in terms of performance, we measured a
significant improvement in download and
upload figures, and a significant decrease in
the system latency, the primary indicator of
connection responsiveness.
As a first initiative entirely managed by our
teams, the results were remarkable – com-
pleting the rollout in our Milan headquarters

digitalisation of Consumer Finance services
for the convenience of our retail customers.
UniCredit Customer Experience (UCX) is our
multi-year digital transformation programme
which aims to provide our customers with a
unique and consistent digital experience across
all devices and channels.
In Italy, the latest rollout of UCX was in
Consumer Finance. We created a seamless
online customer service experience across
many of our channels, setting the foundations
for a new approach to doing business with our
clients, increasing productivity, streamlining
processes, and cutting red tape. As a result, we
are giving our clients the opportunity to make
the most out of their digital experience for
consumer lending.
The Digital and Data teams introduced several
exciting new features for UCX Consumer Finance,
including new client onboarding, reducing the
number of in-branch visits, multiple phone calls
and excess paperwork, by offering clients the
option to sign up and activate their profiles
online, identify themselves using self-authenti-
cation methods, request services and purchase
banking products on their own. Further, we
introduced automatic decisions investing in
data analysis software and online credit policy
reviews to help our customers view the status of
their requests and loan approvals instantly and
automatically receive updates on other consum-
er finance services.
Our goal is to provide our clients with ease
when it comes to receiving the financing they
need without added hassle, so we have reduced
the amount of income documentation required

(Tailor Made for You)
This year, guided by our strategic plan, we
shifted our focus to Simplification and
streamlining our processes across all facets
of the business. A program aimed at simpli-
fying the daily life of the Italian network by
eliminating unnecessary and redundant
checks and tasks, “Tailor Made for You” was
created to simplify our Bank’s processes,
many of which have transformed to becom-
ing unnecessarily complex and lengthy. The
project was launched to build an in-depth
comparison of current processes and strate-
gies to make our way of operating faster and
more efficient.
As part of the initiative, one component
included was the paper-based authorisation
for non-digitised customers. This allowed our
bank to continue to serve customers in the
best possible way, especially those whom, for
various reasons - one of which is age – are
unfamiliar with new technology. This means
that we were able to complete the contracts
for products and services for non-digitised
customers using the old paper printing sys-
tem, meeting these needs as well.
The overall project automated repetitive
activities to free-up commercial time by:
rationalising checks and administrative tasks
considered obsolete or redundant; automat-
ing repetitive activities to reduce network
fatigue and reducing the cost to serve. It also
allowed for continuous “listening” to the
network proposals, thanks to a “Sounding
created by branch manager
Board”
colleagues.
Throughout the year, almost 200 interven-
tions were applied including: 147 checks and
administrative tasks that were rationalised,
27 processes reviewed, and 13 automatisa-
tion processes implemented.
New projects are planned to be implemented
in the next year as our bank continues along
its simplification journey.

Digital process
for onboarding of
legal entities
Digital onboarding of legal entities for
UniCredit in Bulgaria has become an entirely
remote process. When it comes to acquiring
new legal entities as customers of the bank,
using the new digital processes and services
of local Qualified Trusted Service Providers is
essential. This includes signing with Qualified
Electronic Signatures, a feature that is now
readily available for companies owned by
individuals who are existing or incoming cus-
tomers of the bank. By digitising the process
from start to finish, we cut the overall pro-
cessing time in half, all while maintaining the
integrity of our work and the strong relation-
ship with our customers.
Remote E2E processes for mortgage lending is
an entirely remote process for taking a mort-
gage
loan using Qualified Electronic
Signature for digital signing. This applies to
all stages of the process: from the consulta-
tion, to accepting the application and
necessary documents, to including the signing
of the contractual documentation. The only
visit of the customer is at the end with the
notary signing.
Embedding simplification processes in our
various ways of working has a ripple effect on
every area. As the signing is an essential step
for many of our customers’ business and per-
sonal journeys, close to 300 mortgage deals
have since been processed to date and that
number continues to grow.
SmartDepot:
A new digital
securities
account – simple

Embedding digital in everything we do is the
only way our bank can continue to evolve and
alongside the ever-changing landscape of the
banking industry. With SmartDepot, UniCredit
HypoVereinsbank expanded
its securities
offering for digital private clients in August
2022. The result of the project was a new
securities account that can be opened online,
fully paperless, in less than 10 minutes.
As a bank, we are fully focused on implementing
Simplification across the Group – understand-
ing and identifying key opportunities in our
current processes to complement streamlined
processes with a digital-driven mindset.
Customers are becoming well-versed in digital,
adopting new ways of banking in the fastest
and most efficient ways possible.
UniCredit HypoVereinsbank’s retail customers
are increasingly benefiting from digital, paper-
less and more cost-effective offerings in all
service and product areas. With its mix of
technology, first-class service and expert advice,
the bank offers customers a flexible range of
banking services, both in the branches and
through various digital channels. With that, the
bank combines the advantages of cost-effective
and fast online services with the benefits of an

for UniCredit
Romania
UniCredit puts “living digital” at the forefront
when it comes to creating a best-in-class
experiences for our clients. Ioana, the vocal
guide introduced as part of the digital transfor-
mation strategy, was launched to interact with
all private individual customers of UniCredit
Bank and UniCredit Consumer Financing. Ioana
enables human-like interactions in Contact
IVR using Natural Language
Center
Understanding capabilities
in Romanian,
allowing individuals to self- serve and success-
fully resolve issues, while benefiting from a
shorter time to answer and improved customer
experience. Further, it runs reactive and proac-
tive initiatives for customers’ activation and
digital acquisition while delivering administra-
tive and commercial outbound campaigns
(extending our reach).
Through Ioana, we deliver an intuitive service
experience that anticipates the caller’s needs
and allows them to interact with the system
naturally, and in their own words, through
simple voice indications. In terms of the
benefits to the Bank, we achieved internal
efficiency in our remote servicing model by
delivering services with zero waiting time for
the clients, addressing increased demands at
constant headcount, using efficiencies to
cross-sell, and more.
Leveraging on Mediatel Data Contact Center
software and Nuance enhanced capabilities,
Ioana’s role and contribution continues to
evolve as we add new skills in accordance
with the business strategy. The last one was
launched in November 2022 and since then,

and human interaction, complementing one
another to result in a streamlined approach

Discover the WoCa
platform
At UniCredit Serbia, we are modernising our pro-
cesses by
implementing simplification best
practices in the tools we use every day. WoCa is
the new-age e-platform for processing factoring
products and improves efficiency and time sav-
ings, allows for the reduction of bureaucracy and
achieves an incomparably faster process of dis-
bursement of funds. The platform allows clients
to manage their claims and obligations in a simple
way, through a financial instrument that aims to
speed up the collection of claims from debtors
that are due with a delayed payment deadline.
The WoCa platform integrated the possibility for
both the client and its partners to access the sys-
tem directly from their computers, communicate
quickly and easily with the bank, and seamlessly
authorise requests. The platform is a complete
revolution in factoring on the Serbian market and
has a great positive response among clients.
WoCa is a platform with access to data at any
time, 365 days a year and automatically sends
notifications to all of the client’s partners. This
means that the platform enables the automatic
processing of a very large number of invoices at
once due to the fact that the architecture of the
platform has the prerequisites for direct connec-
tion with the client’s information system.
Digitalisation of
key products – a
new digital platform
Digitalisation of key retail products is a key pillar to
boost our business. In 2022, we introduced a new digi-
tal platform that offered the opportunity to clients in
Czech Republic and Slovakia to open and access all
key retail products – current accounts, mortgages, and
consumer loans – in a digital and paperless manner,
anytime and from anywhere – whether it’s at a branch,
online, through a special client centre or digitally
through third parties.
Because of this innovation, it takes less than 10 minutes
to open an account, 10 minutes to conclude a pre-ap-
proved consumer loan, and 20 minutes for a standard
consumer loan. The mortgage process is digital from the
submission of the application to its submission for
approval. As a result, about 50% of consumer loans
and 60% of accounts we serve are fully digital.
This brings not only a new concept of the digital custom-
er experience for our clients, but completely changes the
work routine of our colleagues in branches. Through new
digital ways of working, automated and paperless pro-
cesses can be efficient, sustainable, and allow our
people to devote more time to our clients, who are
always our top priority. So far, the open platform has
saved two million working minutes through opening
50,000 current accounts and more than 8,500 con-
sumer loans and mortgages.

MoneyMatters:

education
programme
At UniCredit, we understand the importance of
providing our youth with opportunities to
enhance their skills at a young age and prepare
them for their future. The innovative financial
education programme “MoneyMatters” was
adopted, which offers students from the eighth
grade onwards the opportunity to strengthen
their financial knowledge in a playful and multi-
media form. This blended learning programme is
designed for students and trainees ages 14 and
over. It was developed by UniCredit Bank Austria
together with teachers and the Institute of
Business Education at the Vienna University of
Economics and Business Administration and
launched in a pilot project at schools in the feder-
al state of Burgenland.
The programme taught children and young adults
how to handle money responsibly. Students and
trainees can continue to work independently and
regardless of their location via smartphone, tablet
or PC. The 12 digital lessons include basic
knowledge trainings about money and the econo-
my, cryptocurrency and cybersecurity. They
receive a Basic Certificate after completing the
first five basic modules and a Premium
Certificate after completing ten modules.
Through videos, quizzes and animated diagrams,
MoneyMatters combines the best of digital as
well as playful approaches alongside knowledge
transfer.

Preliminary notes
Preliminary notes
UniCredit prepares a single document called “Annual report and accounts” replacing the two documents relating to the UniCredit group consolidated
financial statements and the UniCredit S.p.A. company financial statements.
The integration of the contents of the two financial statements documents into a single one leads to the elimination of duplications of the qualitative
information presented in both files and, in order to facilitate the reading, the adoption of a system of cross-references between the chapters
dedicated to the consolidated financial statements and the company ones; pursuant to these references the contents of the each referenced
paragraph is entirely reported in the paragraph containing the reference.
The chapter “Incorporations of qualitative information by reference” reports the list of the references.

Introduction and Group highlights
Introduction to the Consolidated report on operations of UniCredit group
The Consolidated report on operations illustrates the performance of UniCredit group and the related amounts and results. It includes financial
information such as Group highlights, Reclassified consolidated accounts and their Quarterly figures, Summary results by business segment, Group
and UniCredit share historical data series as well as a comment on “Group results”.
To further illustrate the results of the period, the Consolidated report on operations includes Reclassified consolidated accounts prepared using the
same criteria of previous quarterly reports.
In order to provide further evidences about the performance achieved by the Group, the Consolidated report on operations is also supported by
some alternative performance indicators (“API”) such as: Cost/Income ratio, Economic Value Added (EVA), Return On Tangible Equity (RoTE), Net
bad loans to customers/Loans to customers, Net non-performing loans to customers/Loans to customers, Absorbed capital, Return On Allocated
Capital (ROAC), Return On Assets (ROA), Cost of risk.
Although some of this information, including certain APIs, is neither extracted nor directly reconciled with the Consolidated financial statements, it is
worth mentioning that the Consolidated report on operations, the Annexes and the Glossary provide explanatory descriptions of the contents and, in
case, the calculation methods used, in accordance with European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines (ESMA/2015/1415) of 5 October
2015.
In particular the Annex 1 includes the reconciliation between the reclassified accounts and the mandatory reporting schedule, as required by Consob
Notice No.6064293 of 28 July 2006.
The amounts related to year 2021 Reclassified consolidated income statement and balance sheet differ from the ones published at that time. For
further details about the reasons of these restatement, refer to following paragraphs relating to the reconciliation principles followed for the
reclassified consolidated income statement and balance sheet.
For information on relations and transactions with related-party, it shall be referred to the Notes to the consolidated accounts - Part H - Related-party
transactions.
For a complete description of risks and uncertainties that the Group has to face in the current market situation, it shall be referred to the specific
paragraph of this Consolidated report on operations and to the Notes to the consolidated accounts - Part E - Information on risks and related
hedging policies.

Reconciliation principles followed for the reclassified consolidated income statement
The main reclassifications, whose amounts are provided analytically in the tables enclosed with this report, involve:
• the inclusion in “Dividends” of “Profit (Loss) of equity investments valued at equity” and the exclusion of (i) “Dividends from held for trading equity
instruments” and (ii) “Dividends on equity investments, shares and equity instruments mandatorily at fair value” which are included in “Trading
income”;
• the inclusion in the “Other expenses/income” of “Other operating expenses/income”, excluding “Recovery of expenses” which is classified under
its own item, the exclusion of the costs for “Net value adjustments/write-backs on leasehold improvements” classified among “Other administrative
expenses”, the inclusion of result of industrial companies and of gains/losses on disposal and repurchase of financial assets at amortised cost
represented by performing loans;
• presentation of “Other expenses/income”, “HR costs”, “Non HR costs”, “Amortisations and depreciations” and “Other charges and provisions” net
of any “Integration costs” relating to the reorganisation operations, classified as a separate item;
• the exclusion from the “Non HR costs” of the Contributions to the Resolution Funds (SRF), the Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS), the Bank Levy
and the Guarantee fees for DTA reclassified in item “Other charges and provisions”;
• the exclusion from “Amortisations and depreciations” of impairment/writebacks related to (i) inventories assets (IAS2) obtained from recovery
procedures of NPE (ii) rights of use of land and buildings used in the business (classified in item “Net income from investments”) and (iii) tangible
in operating lease assets (classified in item “Other expenses/income”);
• in “Loan Loss Provisions”, the inclusion of net losses/recoveries on financial assets at amortised cost and at fair value through other
comprehensive income net of debt securities, of the gains (losses) on disposal and repurchase of financial assets at amortised cost net of debt
securities and of performing loans, of the “Net provisions for risks and charges” related to commitments and financial guarantees given;
• the inclusion in “Net income from investments” of net losses/recoveries on financial assets at amortised cost and at fair value through other
comprehensive income - debt securities, of gains (losses) on tangible and intangible assets measured at fair value as well as gains (losses) of
equity investments and on disposal on investments, including impacts from revaluation arising from IFRS5 non-current assets and disposal groups
related to equity investment consolidated line by line and at net equity method not presented to item “Profit (Loss) of discontinued operations”;
• the inclusion among “Trading income” (i) of the net gains (losses) on trading, (ii) of the net gains (losses) on hedge accounting, (iii) of the net
gains/losses on other financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, (iv) of the gains/losses on disposal or repurchase of financial

income and expenses deriving from Trading Book instruments, excluded the economical hedging or funding banking book positions;
• the inclusion in the “Fees” of commissions of the Structuring and mandate fees on certificates, and the connected derivatives, issued by the
Group.
Figures of Reclassified Income statement relating to 2021 have been restated with the effects of the:
• shift of the Interest rate component of the DBO (Defined Benefit Obligation), TFR (Trattamento di Fine Rapporto) and Jubilee from HR costs to Net
interest;
• shift of the Structuring and mandate Fees on certificates and connected derivatives, issued by the Group and placed to internal and external
networks from Trading income to Fees;
• reclassification of (i) UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and its controlled company and (ii) UniCredit Leasing GMBH and its controlled companies out of the
non-current assets held for sale. For these companies in addition to fourth quarter 2021 also first quarter 2022 figures have been restated.
Starting from first quarter 2022 the losses recognised on derivatives assets and arising from inability of the counterparty to fulfill contractual
obligations have been reclassified from Trading income to Loans Loss Provisions (LLPs).
In the fourth quarter 2022 the result coming from the remodulation by ECB of contractual terms of TLTRO III facilities has been reclassified from
Trading income to Net Interest.

Macroeconomic situation, banking and financial markets
International situation
In 2022, global economic activity expanded by around 3.5% but the pace of growth sizably decelerated towards the end of the year as a result of a
series of overlapping crises. The Russian war against Ukraine was source of massive price volatility for a variety of commodities, in particular crude
oil, natural gas, and agricultural products. In turn, higher food and energy prices contributed to a spike in inflation across advanced economies that
forced central banks to intervene by sharply tightening their monetary policies. Inflationary pressures became persistent and broad-based, further
complicating the task for central banks. In addition, the zero-Covid-19 policy in China that led to the implementation of strict lockdowns in key cities
like Shanghai deprived the world economy of one of its key engines of growth. Finally, escalating tensions between the US and China, particularly
when it comes to advanced semiconductors and the future of Taiwan, further clouded the economic outlook. On the positive side, the post-pandemic
reopening proceeded smoothly across the major economies, with an almost complete normalization in economic activity, especially in terms of
consumer spending.
The Chinese economy grew by 3% in 2022, with anti-pandemic containment measures weighing on the economic performance. In late November,
restrictions triggered a wave of protests across the country that forced the central government to abruptly remove most measures in what turned out
to be a chaotic reopening that led to a sharp increase in the number of Covid-19 cases within a population with low vaccination rates and low
immunity. The Japanese economy expanded by around 1.5% and, in response to rising inflationary pressures, in its December meeting the Bank of
Japan (BoJ) revised its yield control policy, allowing 10-year bond yields to fluctuate by plus or minus 0.5pp of its target of zero, instead of the
previous band of plus or minus 0.25pp. The UK economy expanded by around 4.0% in 2022 but the outlook deteriorated sharply after the summer
as a result of financial tensions triggered by chaotic domestic politics, higher imported energy and food prices, rising mortgage costs, and in general
a tightening of financial conditions, a sharp rise in economic inactivity and the delayed impact of Brexit.
Economic activity in the eurozone decelerated markedly in the second half of 2022 against the background of high inflation, weakening global
demand, tightening financial conditions and ongoing uncertainty about the war in Ukraine and the risk of disruptions to energy supplies. Surveys
pointed to a sharp decline in consumer confidence as households had to deal with an unprecedented, at least by recent standards, cost of living
crisis. Real GDP rose slightly by 0.1% in the last quarter of the year, following a modest increase, at 0.3% qoq, in the third quarter of the year.
The combination of rising energy prices and depreciating EUR contributed to rising inflationary pressures in the eurozone, with CPI inflation peaking
at 10.6% yoy in October - a historic high for the eurozone. Energy and food inflation continued to explain the bulk of the high headline inflation rate,
but price pressures increasingly became broad based in the second half of 2022, mainly due to the indirect effects of raising energy costs. Measures
of underlying inflation remained at elevated levels, with the core rate peaking at 5.2% in December, although showing some signs of flattening
towards the end of the year.
With the inflation rate well above its 2% target, the European Central Bank (ECB) adopted a tighter monetary policy, raising its policy rate by 250bp
between July and December. At its October meeting, the ECB changed the terms of Targeted Long-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO), making
them less supportive for banks. By creating conditions for accelerated TLTRO repayments, the ECB brought forward the time when its balance
sheet starts shrinking, hence contributing to the normalization of monetary policy. At its December meeting, the ECB announced that its Quantitative
Tightening (QT) will start in March 2023. The ECB will start reducing its APP (Asset Purchase Program) portfolio at an average pace of €15,000
million per month throughout 2Q23 with partial reinvestment of maturing bonds. The pace of run-off for the following quarters will be determined at a
later stage. PEPP (Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program) holdings will continue to be reinvested in full and flexibly until at least the end of 2024
to provide the first line of defense against unwarranted fragmentation of the monetary policy.
In the US, the economy expanded by 2% but there were clear signs of deceleration at the end of the year as a result of higher interest rates and a
squeeze in real incomes. The US economy continued to face demand-supply imbalances in the labor market, but in the fourth quarter 2022 there
were signs of vacancies being off their peak. Inflationary pressures remained intense throughout the year, with CPI inflation peaking at more than
9% yoy in June. Core goods inflation declined sharply in the second half 2022 as a result of tighter monetary conditions and the normalization of
spending patterns away from goods towards services. Core services inflation, instead, remained intense, particularly on the housing front. In
reaction to high inflation, the Fed raised its policy rate by 425bp between March and December. Between June and August, the Fed also started to
reduce its balance sheet by USD 47.5 billion per month; this amount was then increased to USD 95bn in September.

Banking and financial markets
Lending to the private sector in the eurozone showed solid growth during the second half of 2022, with its yearly growth rate hovering around 5% in
December, broadly in line with its pace of growth in June. Driving this dynamic were loans to non-financial corporations, which accelerated, hitting an
annual growth rate of more than 8% in the last few months of 2022, compared to 7% at the end of the first half of 2022. Companies probably
increased demand for loans to finance higher production costs and/or to diversify borrowing instruments. The annual growth rate of loans to
households stood at slightly above 4% at the end of 2022, gradually lower compared to where it was at the end of the first half of 2022. This was
mainly due to a slowdown in loans for house purchases, which reflected weakening loan demand amid a deterioration in macroeconomic prospects
and increasing bank rates.
Loans to the private sector in the main reference countries of UniCredit group (Austria, Germany and Italy) moved along the following trends. In
Germany, a strengthening of growth of lending to non-financial corporations materialized, leading to a 10-12% annual increase at the end of 2022,
from close to 10% at the end of the first half of 2022, while loans to households showed a gradual deceleration in their pace of expansion, to 4.3%
yoy from about 5.5% in June 2022. A similar dynamic characterized loans in Austria, with loans to non-financial corporation showing a growth rate of
around 8% yoy at the end of 2022 and of about 4% for loans to households. In Italy, the recovery proved much more moderate. At the end of 2022,
the annual growth rate of loans to non-financial corporations stood around 1.0% yoy, from slightly above 2% in June 2022 and 1.6% at the end of
2021, while growth of loans to households slowed to 3.5% yoy in December.
With regard to bank funding at a system level, deposits from households and non-financial corporations showed sharp deceleration in annual growth
rates in the second half of the year, compared to the buoyant increases they experienced during the pandemic crisis, in all the main reference
countries of UniCredit group. In Italy, in particular, a strong recovery in private consumption in a context of increasing interest rates most likely
explains the reduction in the pace of growth of deposits by households in the second semester of the year, with the monthly dynamic also
characterized by negative flows in short-term deposits, especially sight deposits.
During the second half of 2022, there was significant tightening of financing conditions for households and firms as a consequence of changes in
ECB’s monetary-policy stances since July. Interest rates applied to bank loans to households and firms increased by about two percentage points
compared to where they were at the end of 2021 in all the reference countries of UniCredit group. Lending rates to non-financial corporations were
back at levels reached in 2014. Given a more gradual increase in the interest rates applied bank deposits in all the reference countries of UniCredit
group, a widening bank spread (i.e. the difference between the average interest rate applied to loans and the average rate applied to deposits) was
observed in the last few months of 2022. Such a dynamic is consistent with the monetary-policy tightening adopted by the ECB.
Changes in expectations regarding monetary-policy decisions by central banks and strong volatility in energy prices following the outbreak of the
conflict between Russia and Ukraine were the two factors that influenced the performance of financial markets the most in 2022 and particularly in
the second part of the year. On top of this, concerns related to the impact of the euro area's economic prospects and the risk that it could experience
a moderate technical recession at the turn of the year also played a role. In this context, the performance of equity markets was confirmed to be in
negative territory, but they have been gradually recovering compared to where they were at the end of the first half of 2022. The German stock
exchange and the Italian stock exchange recorded losses of around 12-13% at the end of 2022, compared to December 2021, and have partially
recovered from where they were at the end of the first half of 2022, while the Austrian stock exchange showed a decline of around 20% on an
annual basis.
CEE countries
For most of 2022, CEE economies have proven more resilient than had been feared at the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While consumers
turned markedly more pessimistic when the conflict began, their spending habits changed only gradually. Expecting higher prices and interest rates,
households frontloaded spending and borrowing in the first half 2022 and many exhausted the precautionary savings they amassed in 2020 and
2021. The exceptions are clustered in countries where energy prices rose at a slower pace owing to administrative caps and/or where wage growth
tracked inflation (Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia). The Russian economy has been significantly affected by the repercussions
of the war in Ukraine, although it appeared to have coped with the implications of sanctions better than expected.
In the last quarter of the year, the economic environment deteriorated due to the impact of high energy costs on both the supply side and the
demand side, falling purchasing power in CEE, destocking, lower public investment and weaker demand from the eurozone amid tighter financial
conditions. This probably resulted in a contraction of economic activity in most CEE countries, which will probably continue in the first quarter 2023.
A gradual recovery is expected to start in the second quarter.

Energy imports rose significantly throughout CEE, with trade balances moving into deficits that have not been covered by FDI (Foreign Direct
Investments) and EU funds. As a result, CEE currencies were affected by several depreciation episodes during 2022. High energy costs affected
companies in energy-intensive sectors (especially the manufacturing of metals, chemicals, construction materials, glass and food) and SMEs that
have limited economies of scale. The risk of permanent scarring is very high where restart costs are significant (for example for non-ferrous metals
smelters) or where energy prices are expected to be too high to ensure business continuity over the medium term (fertilizer producers). Imports will
have to rise to prevent disruptions along supply chains, with the highest risks faced by farmers, food processors and transporters.
We estimate EU-CEE1 GDP to have grown by around 4.4% in 2022, while the Russian economy is estimated to have contracted by about 3%, which
less than initially expected. The Western-Balkan economies probably grew by around 3.0% in 2022.
Inflation in the region increased significantly due to the impact of commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, demand, and in some cases currency
depreciation. Inflation exceeded 15% at the end of 2022 in most EU-CEE and Western Balkans countries, with Hungary standing out with a rate of
24.5% in December. While inflation is expected to peak in first quarter, it will probably remain high in 2023. Central banks in the region reacted with
significant monetary policy tightening. The policy rate was increased to 6.75% in Poland and Romania, 7.00% in Czech Republic and 5.50% in
Serbia. Central banks also intervened in the foreign exchange market to prevent currency depreciation. In Russia, the policy rate was first increased
from 8.50% to 20.00% in February and then gradually reduced to 7.50%.
Main results and performance for the period
Introduction
The Group's activities in the first six months of the year were oriented towards the implementation of the strategic guidelines identified by the new
"UniCredit Unlocked" Plan, whose objectives are:
• Grow in the geographical areas of reference and develop the network of customers, transforming the business model and operating methods of
the Group;
• Achieve economies of scale from the Group's network of banks, through a technological transformation focused on Digital & Data and operating
with a view to sustainability;
• Driving financial performance through three interconnected levers under full managerial control: streamlining and improving the efficiency across
the organization with very strong management on costs, organic generation of capital2, increase in revenues net of loan loss provisions to achieve
profitability above the cost of capital;
• To enable, through the new business model, a high organic generation of capital2 with a significantly greater and progressively growing distribution
to shareholders3, maintaining or exceeding the CET1 ratio of 12.5-13 percent.
In particular, the Management Team focused on relaunching and strengthening the business with a view to customer centricity through initiatives
aimed at achieving long-term sustainable growth; the Group's strategy hinges on digitalization and the enhancement of the economies of scale
inherent in the Group's Banks; the unification of technology and data platforms, together with the consolidation of common principles will allow us to
offer customers the best products and services.
Despite the uncertainties of the global economic context and the negative effects deriving from geopolitical tensions, during the year, the Group
implemented the strategic guidelines set out in the new Plan, achieving and exceeding the objectives set for 2022.
The net profit stated recorded in the year at Group level was €6,458 million, compared to €2,096 million achieved in 2021.
Group net profit4, on the other hand, stood at €5,227 million, compared to €3,539 million achieved in 2021 and includes a loss of -€220 million
attributable to Russia5, which in 2021 recorded a net positive result of €218 million. Group net profit excluding Russia amounts to €5,447 million, up
by 64.0% compared to €3,321 million of the previous year.

Operating income
In 2022, the Group's revenues were €20,343 million, up by 13.6% compared to 2021 (up by 12.4% at constant exchange rates). Excluding Russia,
the revenues, equal to €19,084 million, increased by 10.0% (up by 10.1% at constant exchange rates). The increase was due to the improvement in
net interest and the positive result of trading activities, with commission revenues in moderate progress when compared to the sustained
performance recorded in 2021.
Group net interest amounted to €10,692 million, up by 18.6% (€1,673 million) compared to last year (up by 17.4% at constant exchange rates);
Russia contributed to the total of the year with €757 million in net interest, up by 66.6% year-on-year (up by 42.6% at constant exchange rates) or
€303 million. Net of Russia, net interest amounted to €9,935 million, an increase of €1,371 million compared to last year or up by 16.0% (up by
16.1% at constant exchange rates). This growth was sustained both by higher volumes of loans to customers and by the trend in market rates, the
increase of which led to an increase in customer interest, and by the results of treasury activities (the average Euribor 3 months of 2022 is 90 basis
points higher than in the same period of 2021). It is also worth noting the positive impact on the net interest income produced by the TLTRO as a
consequence of the more favorable market conditions.
The customer loans interest rates of the Group excluding Russia started to increase in the second quarter of 2022 and then continued to grow
during the second half of the year, reflecting market rate developments. On annual basis, the adjustment of loan rates affected all countries, leading
to an increase in interest rates towards customers compared to 2021.
The adjustment of interest rates also affected deposits, for which the average rate at Group level in 2022 gradually returned to being negative for the
Bank; in fact, the particular dynamics of market interest rates which went from negative to positive during 2022, led to the decline, especially in
Germany, of the commission on liquidity ("Excess Liquidity Fee") applied mainly to Corporate and Large Corporate clients and the simultaneous
repricing of deposits that from the second half of the year, at Group level, began to accrue a negative rate for the Bank.
The dynamics described above have led at Group level to an increase of the difference between the average rate of loans to customers and the cost
of deposits from customers compared to 2021.
Customer loans volumes increased by €6.8 billion, or up by 1.5% (up by 1.4% at constant exchange rates), going from €449.0 billion at 31
December 2021 to €455.8 billion at 31 December 2022. This trend was entirely explained by the Group excluding Russia (up by €12.1 billion) while
Russia recorded a decrease of €5.3 billion (down by 44.5% or by 49.2% at constant exchange rates). The Group's growth excluding Russia was
impacted by the reverse repos component with an increase of €5.1 billion, while other loans to customers increased by €6.9 billion, or up by 1.7%
(up by 1.6% at constant exchange rates) up to €425.8 billion. Germany contributed with an increase of €2.6 billion, mainly supported by the
performance of the Small and Medium Enterprises segment. Central Europe recorded a growth of €3.3 billion compared to last year (up by 3.6% at
current and up by 3.3% at constant exchange rates), which saw as the main contributors Czech Republic (€2.1 billion or up by 10.9% at current
exchange rates or up by 7.7% at constant exchange rates) and Hungary (up by €0.5 billion or up by 11.6% at current exchange rates or up by 21.2%
at constant exchange rates) while Austria remained broadly stable (down by €0.1 billion or down by 0.2%). Eastern Europe's contribution was also
positive, with an annual growth in customer loans excluding the reverse repos component of €2.6 billion (up by 9.0% at current exchange rates or up
by 9.0% at constant rates) supported by Romania and Bulgaria, countries that reported double-digit growth compared to 31 December 2021 and by
Croatia. In Italy, loans recorded a drop of 0.8% (or down by €1.3 billion); the decrease in stock is mainly explained by the capital efficiency actions
implemented (negative sEva portfolio optimization and portfolio disposals were partially offset by the positive commercial actions on the positive
sEva clients) and operations with large clients.
Group's deposits from customers, amounting to €510.1 billion, grew by €9.4 billion showing an increase of 1.9% (up by 1.8% at constant exchange
rates) compared to 2021, despite Russia which recorded a decrease of 17.2% or €1.8 billion at current exchange rates or a decrease of 24.4%
measured at constant exchange rates.
Deposits from customers of the Group excluding Russia stood at 31 December 2022 at €501.4 billion, with an increase of €11.2 billion compared to
last year; excluding the repos component which is down by €5.5 billion, the growth amounted to €16.7 billion (up by 3.6% both at current and at
constant exchange rates).
More in detail, the increase was supported by Germany, up by 11.3% (or up by €14.8 billion) and by Eastern Europe, which increased by 13.5% (up
by 13.6% at constant exchange rates) or by €5.2 billion, of which €1.9 billion increase in Croatia (up by 13.6% or up by 14.0% at constant exchange
rates), €1.7 billion increase in Bulgaria (up by 17.3% at both current and at constant exchange rates) and €1.1 billion increase in Romania (up by
14.2% at both current and at constant exchange rates). Central Europe recorded a growth of 0.7% (up by €0.7 billion or up by 0.7% at constant
exchange rates), mainly generated by Czech Republic (with an increase of 10.5% or up by €2.0 billion or up by 7.2% at constant exchange rates)
while Austria shows a decrease of 2.5% or down by €1.6 billion. Finally, Italy recorded a decrease of 1.8% or down by €3.6 billion compared to
2021, mainly explained by the volatility of some Large Corporate positions booked in December 2021 and then withdrawn at the beginning of 2022
while the other businesses show growth year-on-year.

Group results
Dividends and other income on equity investments of the Group (which include the profits of companies valued at shareholders' equity) in 2022
amounted to €306 million, down by €214 million, or down by 41.1% (down by 41.1% at constant exchange rates) compared to prior year. This
dynamic is mainly explained by the loss of the contribution of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi A.S., following the complete disposal of the stake held, and
secondly by the lower contribution of Oberbank AG in Austria and by the insurance companies valued at equity in Italy.
Fees of the Group in 2022 were €6,841 million, up by 1.0% (up by 0.8% at constant exchange rates) compared to the previous year; this
performance reflects the positive trend on transactional services commissions, which rose sharply compared to 2021, partially offset by the lower
contribution of commissions on investment services.
In detail, transactional services commissions recorded an increase of €220 million (up by 9.8% compared to 2021; up by 9.5% at constant exchange
rates), mainly thanks to higher commissions on current accounts, cards and payments services and FX dealings.
On the other hand, commissions on investment services decreased compared to the previous year by €168 million, down by 5.9% (down by 5.9%
also at constant exchange rates) linked to lower placements of asset management products mainly in Italy in a particularly uncertain and volatile
market context compared to a 2021 characterized by a more favorable macroeconomic scenario of post-pandemic recovery.
The financing services component increased by €12 million, equal to 0.7% compared to 2021 (up by 0.4% at constant exchange rates); this dynamic
was characterized by a strong growth of commissions from loans and credit protection insurance (both of which grew thanks to Italy) and higher
commission on collateral in both Italy and Germany, partially offset by the lower contribution of commissions from equity and debt capital markets
transactions, which were negatively affected by financial market conditions in 2022.
The trading income of the Group in 2022 showed a strong growth compared to the previous year (up by €1,020 million), going from €1,554 million in
2021 to €2,574 million in the current year (up by 65.6% or up by 59.8% at constant exchange rates). This result benefited from foreign exchange
activities with Large Corporate customers in the Russia segment. The Group excluding Russia, on the other hand, recorded an increase of 37.1%
(up by 37.0% at constant exchange rates) going from €1,526 million last year to €2,092 million in December 2022. The growth was due both to
higher revenues from client’s activity, mainly supported by hedging transactions by Corporate, Large Corporate and Institutional counterparties given
the particular geopolitical context, and from the increase in revenues from treasury activities in Italy and Germany.
Finally, in 2022, the balance of other income and expenses of the Group was negative for -€70 million, compared to the positive balance of €45
million of 2021; the result of 2022 is mainly attributable to Russia, and is connected to the activities of decreasing the exposure with Russian
counterparties caused by the geopolitical context. On the other hand, the dynamic of the Group net of Russia (down by €39 million) was affected by
the positive non-recurring effects on the first half of 2021 deriving from the agreement signed with SIA company regarding the update of the overall
terms of the outsourcing contract for the provision of certain processing services in Italy, Austria and Germany related to credit card transactions and
the management of POS and ATM terminals.

Operating costs
The Group's operating costs in 2022 amounted to €9,560 million, down by 2.0%, equal to €195 million, compared to prior year (down by 2.5% at
constant exchange rates), thanks to the continuation of the staff downsizing and the discipline and rigor maintained on Non HR costs.
In detail, HR costs in 2022 amounted to €5,918 million, down by 1.1% compared to the previous year (down by 1.4% at constant exchange rates).
This result was achieved mainly thanks to the positive effects generated by the continuing dynamics of staff reduction, characterized by a decrease
of 3,531 FTEs (equivalent to a decrease of 4,201 average FTEs) compared to 2021, equal to a decrease of 4.5%. Is also to be highlighted that the
personnel costs of 2022 include an extraordinary contribution in favor of the employees to cope with the price increases linked to high energy.

Consolidated report on operations
Group results
Non HR costs amounted to €3,007 million during the year, down by 5.7% compared to 2021 (equal to €182 million) even with the inflationary
pressures. The internal dynamic of Non HR costs saw a substantial reduction during the year of the costs related to consulting and marketing,
advertising and promotions activities. Further savings for the Group were generated by lower credit recovery expenses, attributable to the
progressive reduction in the stock of problematic loans and the decrease in some costs related to the Covid-19 pandemic due to the elimination of
the related restrictive measures.
Expense recoveries in 2022 amounted to €513 million, down from €548 million last year (down by 6.3%) mainly due to lower booking of tax
recoveries.
Finally, in 2022, were recorded amortizations and depreciations of €1,149 million, showing a slight increase (up by €16 million or up by 1.4%)
compared to €1,133 million of 2021. It should be noted that these value adjustments are mostly made up of depreciation.

Thanks to sustained revenue growth (up by 13.6%) and cost containment (down by 2.0%), the Group gross operating profit of €10,782 million rose
by 32.2% compared to the last year (up by 30.2% at constant exchange rates). Excluding Russia from the Group's perimeter, gross operating profit
stood at €9,806 million euro, up by 25.4% (up by 25.5% at constant exchange rates).
The Group's cost income ratio, benefiting from this dynamic, fell to 47.0%, recording a decrease of 7.5 percentage points compared to 2021; at the
same time, the ratio between costs and revenues of the Group without Russia went from 54.9% to 48.6% with a decrease of 6.3 percentage points.
Net write-downs on loans and provisions for guarantees and commitments
LLPs of the Group amounted in 2022 to €1,894 million, compared to €1,634 million in 2021 (up by 15.9%).
This trend was mainly affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which led to recognise €882 million loan loss provisions for the FY2022
in Russia, while the other segments recorded €1,012 million, lower than €1,595 million in 2021.
With reference to Russia, the total amount derives from the following main key drivers:
• update in the IFRS9 macroeconomic scenario leading to recognise Loan Loss provisions for €90 million;
• classification of credit exposures held by AO UniCredit Bank in Stage 2, combined with the effect induced by the downgrades of the Russian
sovereign rating, determining the recognition of Loan Loss provisions for €217 million6;
• recognition of overlays on credit exposures held by AO UniCredit Bank for €49 million;
• recognition of write-downs on Cross Border credit exposures for an amount of €676 million, which includes the effects arising from Stage 2
classification and downgrades, as well as the application of an average coverage higher than 30%.
With regard to the other segments of the Group, as of 31 December 2022 the total amount of LLPs was mainly determined by loan adjustments
related to the introduction of geopolitical overlays in the calculation of the expected credit loss, extended to all geographies in light of the persistent
uncertainty linked to the overall geopolitical situation. All over FY2022, the overlays increased to €1.828 million also coming from a new risk
assessment of existing overlays (e.g., those related to the Covid-19 pandemic).
In addition, in the first half of the year, derivative adjustments for a total amount of €115 million were registered in Germany, as a result of the
sanctions and restrictions imposed on Russian counterparties.
For more details on the actions taken to address the current macroeconomic scenario both with reference to direct risks to Russian exposures and
indirect risks, refer to “Section 5 - Other matters" of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General.
6 The reported amount shows the increase in LLP occurred at the moment of reclassification in Stage 2 and rating downgrade.

With reference to the loan portfolios under moratorium, at 31 December 2022 almost all exposures expired in all divisions and there were no
significant signs of deterioration.
The Group's cost of risk in 2022 was 41 basis points, up by 5 basis points compared to the 37 basis points of 2021. Excluding Russia, however, the
cost of risk stood at 23 basis points, down by 14 basis points compared the previous year (37 basis points).
In detail, Italy has a cost of risk of 16 basis points, with an improvement of 38 basis points compared to 2021. Germany recorded 30 basis points
against the 9 basis points of 2021; Central Europe recorded 12 basis points with an improvement compared to the 30 basis points in 2021. Finally,
Eastern Europe shows a cost of risk of 60 basis points, down by 25 basis points compared to the previous year.
Group gross non-performing loans as at 31 December 2022 amounted to €12.5 billion (thus including Segment Russia, or €11.9 billion excluding
Russia), down (by €4.8 billion) compared to €17.3 billion at 31 December 2021 as a result of disposals made and other actions aimed at reducing risk.
Thanks to this reduction, the ratio of gross non-performing loans to total loans improved from 3.74% in December 2021 to 2.68% in December 2022.
Gross bad loans amounted to €2.6 billion, down by €2.1 billion compared to December 2021 (€4.7 billion) benefiting from disposals, radiations and
recoveries made during the year.
The Group's gross non-performing loans coverage ratio as at 31 December 2022 was 48.25% down compared to 53.55% (-5.3 percentage points)
in December 2021, affected firstly by the lower weight of gross non-performing loans (characterized by a higher coverage ratio) on total gross non-
performing loans and secondly by the positive evolution of credit quality in non-performing portfolios also downstream of the disposals and closures
carried out during the year.

From net operating profit to profit before tax
The improvement in gross operating profit (equal to €10,782 million in 2022 compared to €8,158 million of 2021) partly offset by the higher loan loss
provisions (up by €260 million) impacted by Russia, produced a Group net operating profit of €8,888 million, growing by €2,364 million compared to
2021 (up by 36.2% or up by 34.3% at constant exchange rates). Excluding Russia, the Group generated a net operating profit of €8,794 million with
a strong growth (up by 41.2% or up 41.4% at constant exchange rates) compared to previous year.
The Group's other charges and provisions amounted to -€1,093 million, down from -€1,386 million in 2021.
This item includes net provisions for legal proceedings and estimated liabilities of various kinds of -€8 million in 2022 which benefitted from the
releases of provisions realized in previous years, in addition to systemic charges of -€1,085 million. The latter include contributions to the Single
Resolution Fund (SRF), charges for harmonized deposits guarantee schemes (DGS) and non-harmonized Deposits Guarantee Schemes (DGS) and
Bank Levies.
The Group’s integration costs in 2022 amounted to -€324 million, mainly explained by the additional severance costs booked in Italy and Germany;
the data is compared to -€1,337 million recorded in 2021, of which -€1,023 million for severance costs related to the UniCredit Unlocked plan in Italy,
Germany and Central Europe.
The Group’s net income from investments in 2022 amounted to -€182 million, compared to -€2,020 million recorded in the same period of the
previous year.
The result of 2022 was negatively impacted by Russia, which recorded a loss of -€321 million, mainly due to the write-down of the investment held in
BARN BV (-€111 million) and Russian government bonds. Net profits from investments of the Group excluding Russia were positive for €139 million;
this amount includes profits from the sale of CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. (€193 million), the write-back of €55 million on CNP UniCredit Vita and the
write-down of the investments in Bank Fuer Tirol Und Vorarlberg Aktiengesellschaft (-€86 million) and Bks Bank AG (-€22 million).
The result of 2021 was predominantly impacted by -€155 million connected to the sale on the market of 2% of the participation in Yapi Ve Kredi
Bankasi A.S. mainly attributable to the recognition in the income statement of the related negative FX reserve and -€1,537 million originated by the
deconsolidation of the remaining quota of 18%, as a consequence of the loss of significant influence resulting from the withdrawal of the 2 UniCredit
representatives from the Board of Directors of Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi A.S. which determined the recognition on the income statement of the negative
FX reserve. On 1st of April 2022, following the announcement on 8th of November 2021, UniCredit S.p.A. announced the completion of the sale of
the shares held in Yapı Ve Kredi Bankası A.S. (YKB) representing 18% of the share capital to Koc Holding A.S. Following the completion of this
transaction, UniCredit ceased to be a shareholder of YKB.
As a result of the items described above, 2022 showed a profit before tax for the Group of €7,289 million, €5,509 million higher when compared to
€1,780 million of 2021. Net of Russia, profit before tax stood at €7,561 million with a growth of €6,050 million compared to 2021.

Profit (Loss) attributable to the Group
In 2022, the Group's income taxes amounted to -€819 million, compared to €342 million in 2021.
The amount of the current year was positively impacted by €650 million relating to the recognition of new deferred tax assets from tax losses carried
forward resulting from the update of the sustainability test of the Italian Tax Perimeter on the basis of the forecasts resulting from the 2023 budget,
approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) at its meeting of 16 January 2023, and the projections referring to the 2024-2025, presented to the Board
of Directors at the same meeting; further €196 million new deferred tax assets from tax losses carried forward were recognised in Austria and were
derived from the official confirmation by Austrian Tax Authority of the correctness of their attribution to UniCredit Bank Austria AG following previous
corporate restructuring transaction. Furthermore, additional positive impacts were recognised in Germany relating to deferred tax assets from
temporary differences (€70 million).
Similarly, the taxes of the previous year have been positively impacted by €1,164 million connected to the registration of new deferred tax assets
from tax losses carried forward in Italy, consequences of the update of the sustainability test on the base of the new projections of the “UniCredit
unlocked” Strategic Plan, presented to the market in December 2021. Net of the positive effects mentioned above, the Group's income taxes were
negative and grew year-on-year, reflecting overall the higher profitability achieved by the Group in 2022.
Profit from discontinued operations net of tax in 2022 amounted to €3 million, in line with the figure for the same period of the previous year (€4
million).
The net profit for the period for 2022 amounted to €6,473 million, an increase of €4,346 compared to €2,126 million in 2021.
Minority interest, conventionally shown with a negative sign, amounted to -€15 million against -€30 million in the previous year. The lower amount is
mainly explained by the increase of the share in Zagrebacka Banka.
The Purchase Price Allocation and goodwill impairment at 31 December 2022 amounted to €0 million, while in 2021 were recorded -€1 million.
As a result, in 2022 the stated net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €6,458 million, with an increase of €4,362 compared to €2,096 million
in 2021. The Group excluding Russia, on the other hand, recorded a stated net profit of €6,657 million, with an increase of €4,771 million compared
to 1.886 million of last year.

Capital and value management
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 different businesses of the Group;
• 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), Leverage Ratio, Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) and Minimum requirement for
eligible liabilities (MREL) and, on the other hand, to the Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs) and Total Exposures. The RWAs, 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) 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.
These rules have been modified by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 (so-called CRR2),
amending Regulation (EU) 575/2013 and by Directive (EU) 2019/878 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 (so-called
CRDV), amending Directive 2013/36/EU.

Regulation (EU) 876/2019. Therefore, the values here reported reflect the impact of the transitional arrangements provisioned in such Regulation.

Group results
The positive change with respect to 31 December 2021, equal to €509 million on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, mainly reflects: (i) the profit of 2022
(equal to €6,458 million), net of charges (equal to €1,932 million that include also €25 million of social, cultural and charity initiatives), computed for
€4,526 million; (ii) the positive effect equal to €577 million stemming from the not exceedance of the threshold of 17.65% of Common Equity Tier 1
Capital after applying the adjustments and deductions in CRR articles 32 to 36 in full in comparison with the deferred tax assets that rely on future
profitability and arise from temporary differences summed up to the direct, indirect and synthetic holdings retained by UniCredit S.p.A. in financial
sector entities in which UniCredit S.p.A. has a significant investments; (iii) the negative effect of the deduction for €2,580 million connected to the
“Share Buy-Back Programme 2021”; (iv) the higher deduction for €829 million on deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability and do not arise
from temporary differences, resulting from the Deferred Tax Assets sustainability test related to tax losses carry forward (TLCF) carried out in the
fourth quarter 2022; (v) the negative impact for €542 million stemming from the decrease of IFRS9 transitional adjustments mainly refers to the lower
phase-in percentage applicable in 2022 on the static component (50% in 2021 and 25% in 2022); (vi) the higher deduction for €313 million on
intangible assets mainly due to software assets deduction increase; (vii) the higher deduction for €120 million on defined benefit pension fund assets
and (viii) other negative impacts for €0.2 billion.
With reference to the Total Own Funds, the positive change with respect to 31 December 2021, equal to €1,212 million, in addition to the effects on
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, reflects positive effects for €703 million mainly due to: (i) the positive impact for €758 million related to the disposal of
the residual 18% of the stake in Yapı Ve Kredi Bankası A.S. that implies the reclassification of the counterparty as “not significant financial sector
entity”, therefore the subordinated instruments issued by Yapi ve Kredi Bankası A.S. and held by UniCredit S.p.A. are not directly deducted anymore
from the Own Funds, but are reclassified among the instruments issued by not significant financial sector entity, whose total amount does not
exceed the 10% regulatory threshold of the CET1; (ii) the positive impact for €625 million that considers the effects of IFRS9 transitional adjustments
and referred to the re-calculation of the excess of the credit risk adjustments included in Tier 2 Capital; partially offset by (iii) the negative effect on
Additional Tier 1 Capital due to the early redemption of the Capital instrument XS1539597499 (computable amount equal to €495 million) and (iv)
the negative effect on Tier 2 Capital due to the maturity of the instrument XS0849517650 (computable amount €247 million).
The minimum capital requirements applicable to the Group as at 31 December 2022 in coherence with CRR article 92 are the following (Pillar 1):
• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
• Tier 1 Capital:
• Total Capital:
4.50%
6.00%
8.00%
In addition to such requirements, for 2022 the Group shall also meet the following additional requirements:
• 1.75%, as Pillar 2 Requirements in coherence with SREP results;
• 2.50%, as Capital Conservation buffer (CCB) according to CRDIV article 129;
• 1.00%, as Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SII) buffer7;
• 0.13%, as Countercyclical Capital buffer8 (CCyB) according to the CRDIV article 130, to be calculated on a quarterly basis.
Moreover, the article 104a.4 of CRDV allows banks to partially use capital instruments that do not qualify as CET1 capital (e.g. Additional Tier 1 or
Tier 2 instruments) to meet the Pillar 2 Requirements (P2R). As consequence, in line with Pillar 2 Requirements, required in coherence with 2021
SREP results and equal to 1.75%, UniCredit group shall meet:
• at least the 0.98% of such requirement through Common Equity Tier 1 Capital in the assumption, fulfilled as at 31 December 2022, that the
amount of AT1 Capital exceeds the regulatory minimum of 1.50% (i.e. being 1.97%);
• at least the 1.31% of such requirement through Tier 1 capital in the assumption, fulfilled as at 31 December 2022, that the amount of T2 Capital
exceeds the regulatory minimum of 2.00% (i.e. being 2.77%).
As at 31 December 2022, the Group shall meet the following overall capital requirements:
• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
• Tier 1 Capital:
• Total Capital:
9.12%
10.95%
13.38%
7 It should be noted that UniCredit group was identified by the Banca d’Italia as an O-SII authorized to operate in Italy, and it has to maintain a CET1 capital buffer; such level is equal to 1.00% in 2022. 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 2022.
8 Amount rounded to two decimal numbers. With reference to 31 December 2022: (I) countercyclical capital rates have generally been set at 0%, except for the following countries: Bulgaria (1.00%); Czech Republic (1.50%);
Denmark (2.00%); Estonia (1.00%); Hong Kong (1.00%); Iceland (2.00%); Luxembourg (0.50%); Norway (2.00%); Romania (0.50%); Slovakia (1.00%); Sweden(1.00%); United Kingdom (1.00%) (II) with reference to the
exposures towards Italian counterparties, Banca d’Italia has set the rate equal to 0%.

The above-mentioned requirements are the ones which are relevant for MDA purposes for UniCredit group as at 31 December 2022.
As at 31 December 2022, UniCredit group’s ratios are compliant with all the above requirements.
• The Group consolidated net profit as at 31 December 2022 is equal to €6,458 million.
• The dividend policy communicated with the plan “UniCredit Unlocked” envisages, from 2022, a 35% cash pay-out ratio applied to the definition of
Net Profit introduced with the plan. In this respect, Net Profit means Stated Net Profit (i.e. accounting net profit) adjusted for AT1, Cashes coupon
and impacts from DTAs from tax loss carry forward sustainability test.
• As per first quarter 2022 decision, considering the extraordinary nature of the geopolitical events, the 35% cash pay-out ratio is calculated on the
Net Profit excluding Russia segment contribution. Being the latter equal to €5,447 million for 2022, the 35% corresponds to cash dividends of
€1,907 million. In addition, €25 million has been destinated to social, cultural and charity initiatives.
• Thus, considering the 2022 accrued Group foreseeable charges (€1,932 million, including also the social, cultural and charity initiatives) to reduce
the consolidated net profit (€6,458 million), a positive amount for €4,526 million is reported in the consolidated Own Funds.
Capital strengthening
With reference to the Additional Tier 1 instruments recognised in the item “Equity Instruments” of Shareholders' Equity (so-called “Non-Cumulative
Temporary Write-Down Deeply Subordinated Fixed Rate Resettable Notes”) on 3 June 2022 UniCredit S.p.A. exercised its option to early redeem in
whole the Additional Tier 1 instruments issued in 2016 for a total nominal value of €500 million in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions
of the securities; the notes called up have been redeemed at par, together with accrued and unpaid interests.
During the year 2022 no further issues of Additional Tier 1 instruments were placed.

Republic of Slovenia - law for restructuring consumer loans denominated in CHF
On 2 February 2022, the National Assembly of Republic of Slovenia approved a law aimed at restructuring consumer loans denominated in CHF, or
those contractually linked to CHF, originated between 28 June 2004 and 31 December 2010, effectively retroactively introducing a 10% exchange
rate cap which limits the amount to be repaid by customers, as capital or interest, following revaluation of the CHF against the EUR.
During the first half of 2022, Slovenian banks filed a petition to the Slovenian Constitutional court to verify the constitutionality of the law also asking,
pending the final ruling by the Court, the suspension of its effects.
As at 30 June 2022 no provision was recognised in light of (i) the circumstance that the Slovenian Constitutional court, admitting the request by the
banks, suspended the effects of the law and (ii) the assessment, supported by an external counsel, of the likelihood that the law will be abrogated by
the Constitutional court.
During the fourth quarter 2022, Constitutional Court annulled such law in its entirety, deeming it unconstitutional as it is retroactive and lacking such
retroactivity public interest.
In light of this, none of the obligations imposed on the banks by such law can be applied.
Compliance with capital requirements set by ECB
On 3 February 2022 it was announced that, following the communication received from the ECB in relation to the 2021 Supervisory Review and

Since 1 March 2022 UniCredit shall respect the capital requirements on a consolidated basis, unchanged with respect to those previously applied.

Hungarian Government Decree
On 4 June 2022 the Hungarian government adopted a new decree introducing sector-specific taxes for companies considered by the government
itself as generating "extra profits" in the current adverse economic situation. Among other sectors, the extra profit tax is levied on banking and
insurance.
On this basis, banks and financial institutions are required to declare and pay extra tax for tax years 2022 (10%) and 2023 (8%) on a taxable basis
which considers interest income minus interest expenses, plus certain additional items, such as income from investment services.
With reference to the year 2022, the amount settled is equal to HUF 15,800 million (€41 million) due, according to the law requirements, because (i)
positive net revenues were recognised as at 31 December 2021 (determined as above) and (ii) the Hungarian bank had a valid banking license as at
1 July 2022 (entry into force of the law).
It is worth to note that the related expense was recognised in income statement under item “190. Administrative expenses: b) other administrative
expenses”.

Organisational model
Significant organisational changes
During 2022, coherently with the simplification and accountability path of each area of the Bank, the "Empowerment Italy - Credit Delegations"
project has been launched with the aim of increasing the credit delegated powers of the Business maintaining, at the same time, an adequate risk
presidium.
Within the project, organizational changes have been made regarding the shift of the territorial “Poli Creditizi”, in the first phase, and of the territorial
“Credit Hub” and related responsibilities, in the second phase (effective since 27 June 2022), from Group Risk Management (Risk Italy) function to
hierarchical report to the different Regions within Italy (Italy Network) perimeter, with the assignment of new delegated powers to the Business and
with a functional reporting line to Risk Italy.
Group Risk Management, Italy, Group Client Solutions structures and impacted managerial Committees responsibilities have been updated due to
credit process review.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the Merger of UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. into UniCredit S.p.A. by incorporation, changes within Group Digital &
Information Division (effective since 1 August 2022), representing a further step of transformation program and also facilitating the full convergence
of UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Services S.C.p.A., and further changes of UniCredit S.p.A. organizational set-up and responsibilities (effective
since 1 October 2022), in particular concerning Group Digital & Information, Group Operations and Competence Line functions, have been made.
Organisational structure
UniCredit adopts an organisational and business model that, while guaranteeing the autonomy of countries/local banks on specific activities in order
to ensure greater proximity to customers and efficient decision-making processes, maintains a divisional structure for the governance of
business/products, as well as global control over Digital and Operation functions.
More specifically, the current organisational structure of the Holding company can be broken down into:
• Group Finance, Group Risk Management, Group Legal, Group Compliance, Group People and Culture, the Functions, identified as Competence
Lines (CL), together with Internal Audit, aimed at guiding, coordinating and controlling, for their area of competence, the management of activities
and related risks of the Group as a whole and of the single Legal Entities;
• Italy, Germany, Central Europe & Eastern Europe: business functions, responsible for proposing and implementing the business strategies to
maximize the risk adjusted value creation for the relevant perimeter; for this purpose, with reference to the related customer
segments/geographies, these functions are assigned the responsibilities for service model definition as well as product development activities.
Central Europe & Eastern Europe is placed under the responsibility of two “co-Heads” in charge of the Central Europe and Eastern Europe
Countries respectively; Germany represents the synthesis point of the Group's business in the reference Country, maintaining an executive role at
local level. Group Client Solutions supports the business functions of the Countries developing a complete range of best-in-class products for all
types of customers;
• Group Digital & Information Division defines and executes the Group Technology, Digital and Data related management and transformation,
driving value through the capability of technology and data, embedded into digital solutions that optimize execution and improve customer
experience;
• Group Operations, responsible for the oversight of the operating machine with a specific focus on costs, procurement, real estate, operations
performance management, corporate security, in coherence with the defined Group strategies, by ensuring at the same time synergies, savings
and operational excellence;
• Group Stakeholder Engagement governs the Group’s reputation and overseeing all communication activities to ensure the delivery of coordinated
and consistent messages across multiple stakeholder group (investor relations, identity and communication, relationships with institutional
counterparties and with the European Banking Supervisory Authorities - e.g. EBA, ECB - and Banca d’Italia);
• Group Strategy & ESG, responsible for supporting strategic initiatives, including the integration of ESG into the Group's strategy.
The Group Strategy and ESG and Group Stakeholder Engagement functions represent the “CEO Office” aimed at supporting CEO in the
development and implementation of strategic initiatives.

Conversion of Deferred tax assets (DTAs) into tax credits
Referring to financial year 2021, UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. registered a profit in their separate financial statements (respectively
equal to €10,366 million and €13.9 million), hence during 2022 they did not convert Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) 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 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.44-bis Law Decree No.34/2019 as extended by Law Decree No.73/2021);
• taxes:
- IRES paid starting by the Tax Group from 1 January 2008;
- IRAP paid registered starting from 1 January 2013 by Legal Entities included in the Tax Group with convertible DTAs;
- substitute taxes that generated convertible DTAs.
The fee due for the financial year 2022 has been paid on 24 June 2022 for an overall amount of €103.8 million relating to the whole Italian Tax
Group, of which €99.6 million for UniCredit S.p.A., €4.0 million for UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and €0.2 million for UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.

Subsequent events and outlook
Outlook
The global economy faces increasing headwinds and heightened uncertainty. It is witnessing the largest, fastest and most synchronized tightening
of global monetary policies in decades, and more hikes are in the pipeline. In Europe, this compounds the effects of big terms-of-trade shocks and
high inflation. Unfavorable geopolitics adds to the uncertainty. Global GDP growth is expected to slow to 2.0% in 2023 and then recover to 2.6% in
2024. The expected growth rate for the current year is therefore very low compared to historical standards, effectively leading to a global recession.
In the euro area, it is expected GDP to stagnate in 2023 and increase by 1.3% in 2024. Risks surrounding this forecast for 2023 are tilted to the
upside, as mild weather and falling gas prices have contributed to dispel some of the gloom. In addition, government measures, high household
savings and ample liquidity buffers for firms continue to support economic activity. While inflation is expected to remain high, on average, a clear
declining trend is envisaged for most of the year. CPI is expected to rise by 6.5% in 2023 and by 3.5% in 2024. In Italy, after growing by about 3.5%
in 2022, GDP is expected to broadly stabilize in 2023 and expand by 1.0% in 2023. Italy remains particularly exposed to weakening global demand,
while the ongoing impacts from high energy prices and inflation are expected to moderate consumer spending. On top of this, the increase in
financing costs for the private sector will weaken domestic demand, starting from this year.
It is assumed that the ECB's deposit rate remains at 2.5% level after an increase of 50bp in the first quarter of 2023. The ECB will start reducing its
APP portfolio (Asset Purchase Programme) in March at an average pace of 15 billion euro per month throughout second quarter of this year with
partial reinvestment of maturing bonds.
The Group has brilliantly exceeded the targets set for 2022 by the new UniCredit Unlocked Strategic Plan, maintaining a prudent risk profile and
improving its profitability despite the contingencies related to the geopolitical and market scenario. This positive tone supported by the new business
model, together with a high capitalization and a very prudent level of provisions already in place, allows to continue addressing the uncertainties and
risks that remain on the macroeconomic scenario of 2023 while maintaining the focus on the realization and completion of the 2022-24 UniCredit
Unlocked Plan and supporting the communities in which the Group operates, customers and the financial system.

Corporate Governance
Governance structure
The information in this section refers to the date of 16 February 2023 (the approval date by the Board of Directors of the 2022 Report and Accounts -
General Meeting Draft of UniCredit S.p.A. and of the 2022 Consolidated Report and Accounts of UniCredit group).
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 behavior 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 (hereinafter, also the “Code”).
In line with practice on major international markets, the Code identifies goals for a sound corporate governance, as well as the behaviors deemed
appropriate for their achievements recommended by the Corporate Governance Committee to companies listed in Italy, to be applied according to
the “comply or explain” principle that requires explanation in the corporate governance report of any reasons for failure to comply with one or more
recommended best practices.
Moreover, UniCredit is subject to the provisions contained in the Supervisory Regulations issued by Banca d’Italia and, specifically with regards to
corporate governance issues, to regulations on banks’ corporate governance (Circular No.285/2013, First Part, Title IV, Chapter 1).
In compliance with the aforementioned Supervisory Regulations, as a significant bank subject to the direct prudential supervision of the European
Central Bank, as well as being a listed bank, UniCredit qualifies as a bank of large size or operational complexity and consequently complies with
provisions applicable to such banks.
Since 2001, UniCredit has adopted the Code, which is publicly available on the Italian Corporate Governance Committee website
(https://www.borsaitaliana.it/comitato-corporate-governance/homepage/homepage.en.htm).
On an annual basis, UniCredit draws up a corporate governance report for its shareholders, institutional and non-institutional investors, and the
market. The report conveys appropriate information about the UniCredit in-house corporate governance system.
Consistently with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, and in line with the provisions of the Code, in its version as approved as at January
2020, the 2022 Report on corporate governance and ownership structure has been drafted, in accordance with article 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 24 February 2023, is
disclosed at the same time as the Report on Operations via 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.
As an issuer of shares that are also listed on the Frankfurt and Warsaw regulated markets, UniCredit also fulfils legal and regulatory obligations
relating to listings on said markets, as well as the provisions on corporate governance stipulated under 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.

Corporate Governance
Governance structure
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, to resolve upon
the issues that current laws and the Articles of Association make it responsible for. An extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting is 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.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of UniCredit may be comprised of between a minimum of 9 up to a maximum of 24 members. At the approval date of this
document, UniCredit has 12 Directors.
Their term in office is 3 financial years, unless a shorter term is established at the time they are appointed, and ends on the date of the
Shareholders’ Meeting called upon to approve the financial statements relating to the latest year in which they were in office.
The term in office of the current Board of Directors, which was appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 15 April 2021, will end on the date of the
Shareholders’ Meeting called upon to approve the 2023 financial statements.
According to the current legal and regulatory provisions, the UniCredit Directors shall be appointed on the basis of a proportional representation
mechanism (“voto di lista”) abiding to the membership criteria concerning, inter alia, minority and independent Directors, as well as the balance
between genders, pursuant to the procedures specified in Clause 20 of the UniCredit Articles of Association. Legitimate parties entitled to submit
slates are the Board of Directors and shareholders, who individually, or jointly with others, represent at least 0.5% of share capital in the form of
shares with voting rights at ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings.
The UniCredit Articles of Association envisage that, regardless of the total number of 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 that the minority shareholders have 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 entrusted to the
Board of Directors by law, by the Supervisory Provisions and by the UniCredit Articles of Association, according to current provisions applicable on
such topics, also concerning the time commitments and the limits upon the maximum number of offices UniCredit Directors may hold.
Moreover, Directors must take into account the provisions of Art.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 from holding 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 provisions in force from time to time as well as in line with the criteria envisaged under the Italian Corporate Governance
Code (corresponding with those envisaged under the UniCredit Articles of Association), non-executive Directors’ independence shall be assessed
by the Board of Directors upon their appointment, as well as during the mandate upon the occurrence of circumstances concerning their
independence and, in any case, at least once a year, on the basis of information provided by the Directors themselves or however available to the
Company, also considering any circumstance that affects or could affect such requirement. The outcome of these Board assessments shall be
disclosed to the market after the appointment, through a press release and, subsequently, via the Corporate Governance Report.
The Corporate Governance & Nomination Committee and the Board of Directors assessed with a positive outcome the Directors’ independence
requirement based on statements made by the parties concerned and on information available to the Company. In 2022, the Board of Directors
ascertained the Directors’ independence requirements during its yearly evaluation (meeting held on July 5) and when it assessed the position of a
single Director (meeting held on November 9).

Governance structure
With specific reference to the independence requirements laid down by the Italian Corporate Governance Code, information was taken into account
relating to the existence of direct or indirect relationships (credit relationships, business/professional relationships and employee relationships, as
well as significant offices held) that Directors and their other connected subjects may have with UniCredit and Group Companies.
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 such a 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 of 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.
At the approval date of this document, the number of independent Directors according to the provisions of the Code is equal to 9.
At its meetings held on 15 July and 11 November 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors ascertained, with a positive outcome, the proper application

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 five Committees, vested with research, advisory and proposal-making
powers diversified by sector of competence: the Internal Controls & Risks Committee, the Corporate Governance & Nomination Committee, the ESG
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 Committee, the ESG Committee and the Remuneration Committee, all set up in compliance with the
provisions contained in the Banca d’Italia Supervisory Regulations on banks’ corporate governance, are composed of non-executives Directors,
mostly independent. 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 Chair 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 Italian
Corporate Governance Code.
None of the functions of one or more specialist Committees on appointments, risks and remuneration envisaged by the Code has been reserved for
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 that differs from
the Code’s provisions.
The Committee’s tasks are coordinated by its Chair, 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 Chair with a 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 Chair, 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 other Statutory Auditors to attend the meetings, the Chair of the Board of Statutory Auditors - or any
other Auditor designated by the latter - attends Board Committee meetings. Always at the invitation of each Committee Chair, 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 Chair 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.
Internal Controls & Risks Committee
The Internal Controls & Risks Committee consists of 4 non-executive Directors.
The composition of the Internal Controls & Risks Committee at the approval date of this document is the following: Ms. Elena Carletti (Chairwoman),

Participation Rights
Eligible to attend Shareholders' Meetings are those who hold voting rights and in respect of whom the Company has received, from the broker
holding the relevant securities account, the notification within the deadline set forth by applicable law (record date, i.e., seven market trading days
before the Shareholders’ Meeting date).
Those who hold voting rights may arrange to be represented in the Shareholders’ Meeting, in compliance with the provisions of the prevailing law.
UniCredit has always encouraged its shareholders to exercise their participation and voting rights and, for that reason, some time ago it adopted the
Regulations governing Shareholders’ Meetings to ensure their regular conduct. Said Regulations are available on UniCredit website on the
Governance/Shareholders’ Meeting Section.

mechanism (“voto di lista”), and its terms of office ends on the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting

As regards the actions taken in recent years to strengthen our governance and align it with
international best practices, improving the composition and functioning of the Board of Directors

Notes to the consolidated accounts
It should be noted that 2021 comparative figures have been recasted, when relevant, in order to reflect the impacts arising from the exit of UniCredit
Leasing S.p.A. and its controlled company and of UniCredit Leasing GMBH and its controlled companies out of the non-current assets held for sale.
These impacts referred in particular to the reallocation to proper items of assets and liabilities, previously classified in Asset and Liabilities held for
sale, and the recognition of a positive impact into Profit 2021 for €556 million mainly due to the reversal of impairment booked in the fourth quarter of
2021 following the classification into non-current assets held for sale (IFRS5).

The amounts disclosed in column "Stock Options" represent the effects of the delivery of shares connected with Group Executive Incentive Plans.
The cumulated change of valuation reserves, for -€285 million, mainly includes the effect of the variation for:
• +€1,392 million of defined-benefit plans related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits obligations and provision for employees severance
pay. The positive variation is mainly due to the increase in discount rate induced by the reduction in prices of High Quality Corporate Bonds,
partially offset by (i) plan assets performance and (ii) salary and pension trend increases to reflect outstanding macroeconomic scenario,
characterised by a significant inflation pressure driven by energy and commodities prices;
• +€225 million of exchange differences, mainly related to effect of Russian Ruble for +€206 million;
• +€64 million of property, plant and equipment related to the properties used in business, ruled by IAS16 "Property, plant and equipment";
• -€148 million of hedges of foreign investments mainly referred to hedges of Ruble investment expired in May 2022;
• -€269 million of investments valued at net equity;
• -€292 million of cash-flow hedges;
• -€1,259 million of financial asset and liabilities at fair value.
The change in Group share capital refers to the increase for +€87 million following the resolution of the Board of Directors of 15 February 2022 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 UniCredit S.p.A. of 8 April 2022 occurred:
(i) the allocation of the net profit of the year 2021 to the Reserve for the issue of the shares connected to the medium term incentive plan for Group
personnel (€65 million) and to the Statutory reserve (€9,127 million);
(ii) coverage of the negative reserves totaling €380 million, partly by use of Share premium reserve to eliminate the negative components related to
the payment of AT1 coupons (€350 million) and partly by use of the Statutory reserve to cover the negative reserve emerged from the cash-out of
usufruct contract signed with Mediobanca S.p.A. on UniCredit shares supporting the issuance of convertible securities denominated “Cashes” (€30
million).

Following the resolutions of the Shareholders' Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. of 8 April 2022 and 14 September 2022 authorizing the purchase of
treasury shares aimed at the remuneration of the shareholders (“Buy-Back Programme 2021”) occurred:
(i) the allocation of a portion of the Share Premium Reserve to set up the specific unavailable reserve for the purchase of treasury shares for the
maximum amount authorised (€2,580 million); the purchase transactions were executed in two tranches (“First Tranche of the Buy-Back Programme
2021” and “Second Tranche of the Buy-Back Programme 2021”) completed respectively on 14 July 2022 and 30 November 2022 with the purchase
of a total of No.249,134,870 shares for a total consideration of €2,580 million recorded under the item Treasury shares;
(ii) the unavailable reserve was consequently used to offset the negative item Treasury shares following the cancellation of the treasury shares in
portfolio registered on 19 July 2022 and 14 December 2022.
The change of the other reserves includes the payment of coupons on AT1 equity instruments for -€298 million.
Moreover, the negative changes in the year of the item "Treasury shares" for -€3,032 million refer to: (i) -€452 million to the purchase of UniCredit
S.p.A. ordinary shares started in 2021 and concluded on 28 February 2022 upon completion of the “Second Buy-Back Programme 2021” related to
the distribution of 2020; these purchased shares, together with the treasury shares purchased in 2021 (€199 million), were cancelled without
reducing the share capital on 2 March 2022 for the overall amount of €651 million corresponding to the maximum expenditure authorised;
(ii) -€2,580 million represent the purchase of ordinary shares under execution of “First and Second Tranche of the Buy-Back Programme 2021”
related to the distribution of 2021 and the consequent cancellation respectively on 19 July 2022 and 14 December 2022 without reduction of “Share
capital”. The cancellation of own shares is conventionally disclosed in the column “Issue of new shares”.
The change in the period in the item “Equity instruments” refers to early redemption of the Additional Tier 1 instruments issued in 2016 in
accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the securities.
The decrease in the item “Minority shareholders' equity” is mainly due to corporate transaction executed in the third quarter 2022 increasing the
Group percent stake on Zagrebacka Banka D.D. (for the further details refer to Consolidated report on operations - Other information - Group
activities development operations and other corporate transactions).
For further details about the Shareholders’ equity changes refer to Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance sheet -
Liabilities, Section 13.

The amounts disclosed in column "Stock Options" represented the effects of the delivery of shares connected with Group Executive Incentive Plans.
The cumulated change of valuation reserves, for +€1,823 million, mainly included the effect of the variation for:
• +€1,604 million of investments valued at net equity mainly due to the following transactions related to the 20% stake in Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi A.S.
(YK): (i) the disposal of the 2% in the Market; (ii) the deconsolidation of the 18% following the loss of UniCredit’s significant influence over YK (and
the consequent recognition of a financial instrument in financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss); such events implied the
recycle, mostly through P&L, of the related reserves, basically referred to exchange rate differences on Turkish Lira (for the further details refer to
Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets, Section 7 - Equity investments - Item 70, 7.1 Equity investments: information on shareholders’ equity
of 2021 Annual Reports and Accounts);
• +€287 million of exchange differences, mainly related to Russian Ruble for +€154 million and Czech Crown for +€147 million;
• +€245 million of property, plant and equipment related to the properties used in business, ruled by IAS16 "Property, plant and equipment" mainly
referred to the alignment between tax values of tangible assets and higher accounting values;
• +€214 million of defined-benefit plans related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits obligations and provision for employee severance
pay. The positive variation was mainly due to increase in discount rate induced by the reduction in prices of High Quality Corporate Bonds partially
offset by plan assets performance;
• -€209 million of financial asset and liabilities at fair value;
• -€314 million of cash-flow hedges.
The change in Group share capital referred to the increase for +€73 million following the resolution of the Board of Directors of 10 February 2021 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.

(iv) the allocation of portion of the Share Premium Reserve (€179 million) to specific unavailable reserve for the execution of the “First Buy-Back
Programme 2021” related to the distribution of 2020 (which was concluded on 23 June 2021 with the purchase of No.17,416,128 shares recorded
under the item Treasury shares);

The following documents have been used to interpret and support the application of IAS/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 the documents prepared by either the IASB (including the IFRS Foundation
communication of 27 March 2020 concerning "IFRS9 and Covid-19") or the 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 (the Italian Standard Setter;
OIC) and Associazione Bancaria Italiana (Italian Banking Association, that is the trade association of Italian banks; ABI);
• Coordination Table between Banca d'Italia, Consob ed Ivass with regard to the application of IAS/IFRS, in particular the Document n.9, dated 5
January 2021, Accounting Treatment of tax credits connected with the “Cura Italia” and “Rilancio” Law Decrees purchased following the sale
without recourse by the direct beneficiaries or previous buyers (“Trattamento contabile dei crediti d’imposta connessi con i Decreti Legge “Cura
Italia” e “Rilancio” acquistati a seguito di cessione da parte dei beneficiari diretti o di precedenti acquirenti”);
• ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority), European Banking Authority, European Central Bank and Consob documents on the
application of specific IAS/IFRS provisions also with specific reference to the presentation of the effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic and geo-
political tensions and their effects on the evaluation processes. In particular, it shall be made reference to the ESMA statements dated 28 October
2020, 29 October 2021,14 March 2022,13 May 2022 and 28 October 2022, to the European Central Bank statement dated 4 December 2020, to
the European Banking Authority statements dated 2 December 2020, and to Consob “Call for attention" dated 16 February 2021, 18 March 2022
and 19 May 2022. The content of such communications, when relevant, has been reported in “Section 5. Other matters” of Notes to the
consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General, in the context of valuation choices performed by the Group as of 31 December
2022.
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. The schemes and Notes of the “Consolidated financial statement as at
31 December 2022” are in line with Banca d’Italia templates as prescribed by Circular 262 dated 22 December 2005 (and subsequent amendments)
as well as 21 December 2021 communication on impacts of Covid-19 and measures to support the economy, and they present comparative figures,
as at 31 December 2021. More specifically, 2021 comparative figures have been recasted, when relevant, in order to reflect the impacts arising from
the “back in use” of subsidiaries previously classified as “Held for Sale”.
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/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 and
expected 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 change resulting from these reviews is recognised in the period in which the review was
carried out, provided the change only concerns that period. If the review 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 main items in the Consolidated financial
statements as at 31 December 2022, as required by the accounting policies, statements and regulations described above.
The current market environment continues to be affected by high levels of uncertainty for both the short and the medium-term outlook. The
economic consequences stemming from the geopolitical tension are continuing to unfold and darken the outlook for the euro area economy, pushing
up inflationary pressures. In this respect, according to ECB macroeconomic projections updated in December 202211, the outlook for the euro area
foresees weak growth, high and persistent inflation, high interest rates, and an appreciation of the euro. The negative economic repercussions are
expected to be partially mitigated by the energy-related fiscal measures that will support economic growth in 2023, but this is offset by the
withdrawal of previous Covid-19-related fiscal support. In addition, high levels of natural gas inventories and ongoing efforts to reduce demand and
replace Russian gas with alternative sources imply that the euro area is expected to avoid the need for mandated energy-related production cuts
over the projection horizon, although risks of energy supply disruptions remain elevated (for winter 2023-2024) with some negative economic impact.
Over the medium term, as the energy market rebalances, it is expected that uncertainty will decline, and economic growth will rebound. Headline
inflation is expected to remain extremely high in the short term and to decline steadily throughout 2023.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Additionally, ESMA issued a public statement ("European common enforcement priorities for 2022 Annual Financial Reports") indicating the most
relevant areas for monitoring and assessing the application of the reporting requirements for 2022 Year End financial statements. In particular,
ESMA observes the need to assess and reflect on financial statements the effects arising from the current macroeconomic environment (pandemic,
inflation, higher interest rates, deterioration of business climate, geopolitical risks and uncertainties regarding future outlook) and reiterates the
matters included in its previous Public Statements (i.e., October 2021 and June 2022) with reference to going concern, impairment of assets,
estimation uncertainty, significant judgements, and presentation of financial statements.
In the context of persisting 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 2022 Consolidated financial statements.
In particular, in addition to the "Baseline" scenario (so called “Mild Recession”), which reflects the expectations considered most likely concerning
macro-economic trends, a Downturn Scenario (so called “Severe Recession”) has been outlined, the latter reflecting a downward forecast of the
macroeconomic parameters and consequently in the expected profitability of the business; in light of the persistent level of uncertainty, no positive
scenario was included in the approach (thus, the positive scenario was weighted at zero percent). These scenarios are used for the DTA
sustainability test and for LLP calculation.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the characteristics associated with the above scenarios.
Features of the scenarios
• Baseline scenario: it is the main reference scenario, underlying the budget for 2023, and the projections for 2024 and 2025. Such scenario
assumes - in terms of macro-economic conditions - moderate Gross Domestic Product (i.e., GDP) growth compared with previous scenario, with a
downside in 2023 mostly based on evolution of conflict and its direct consequences. Major headwinds to stronger growth continued to be high
energy prices, weak global trade and persistent supply shortages, even if no major rationing of gas is expected to be needed. In particular, the
baseline scenario embeds the following assumptions: (i) no material gas rationing in most of countries; country’s counter actions (high storage
level and gas savings) are assumed to be able to compensate a very low (also a shutdown, at a certain moment) gas supply from Russia; (ii) high
inflation for the years 2022 -2024, in line with higher energy, food and commodity prices; (iii) ECB monetary policy expected to remain tight up to
mid 2024; and (iv) Russia Sovereign Rating at CCC from the last quarter 2022 to 2025. In Italy and Germany, no growth is foreseen in 2023,
followed by an increase in Real GDP growth rates in 2024 and 2025; for Central and Eastern Europe (incl. Austria and excluding Russia), the Real
GDP is expected to increase in 2023 with a further additional spike in the following 2 years; for Russia a growth shock is assumed in 2023, while
growth will resume in 2024 and 2025. With reference to FX rates, the Baseline scenario assumes the Russian ruble depreciation over time, mainly
explained by: i) export volumes falling due to embargo; ii) import spending higher than in 2022 as import flows from new trade routes; iii) financial
account of the Balance of Payments likely to be characterized by flight of foreign capital also considering the decision of several Multinational
Corporations to exit from Russian market. Inflation in Eurozone will start to decrease in 2023, but remaining high on yearly average.
Uncertainties/risks of higher inflation in the medium term persist, also considering that ECB expectations for 2024 and 2025 remain higher than
medium/term inflation target of 2%. With reference to the interest rate, market futures are priced in a significant hawkish approach from ECB in the
coming months. The 10Y BTP-Bund spread is not assumed to have a relevant pressure.
• Downturn scenario: this scenario embeds stressed macro-economic conditions, considering the possible implications of further escalation in the
geopolitical crisis, and higher inflation in 2023 stemming from intensified supply side disruption and higher energy costs, with erosion of real
incomes, low consumptions and investments. In addition, the scenario assumes: (i) ECB rates lower than the Baseline scenario; inflation expected
to decline in the medium-term, but higher than ECB target up to 2024 (i.e., 2%); (ii) Russia Sovereign Rating at CCC from the last quarter 2022 to
2025 (but with an increase in Probability of Default, compared to the Baseline scenario, from the last quarter 2023 to 2025). For Italy and
Germany, GDP would contract in 2023 more than in Baseline scenario, due to a further escalation of the geopolitical crisis, and lower substitution
capability of Gas supply with other sources, generating further disruptions in the supply chain. For Central and Eastern Europe (incl. Austria &
excluding Russia), a growth shock is assumed in 2023, with a faster recovery in 2024 and 2025. For Russia, a more significant growth shock is
assumed in 2023, while growth will gradually resume in 2024 and 2025. With reference to inflation, expected inflation is higher than in the baseline
scenario for Eurozone. BTP credit spread is expected to experience a higher pressure compared to the baseline scenario.
The table below shows the most significant macro-economic data characterizing the "Baseline" and "Downturn" scenarios, to highlight the different
assumptions underlying these scenarios.

Deferred tax assets
With reference to deferred tax assets, the measurement is significantly influenced by assumptions about future cash flows, which in turn incorporate
assumptions on the evolution of the macro-economic scenario. As a result, for the measurement purposes, and with the aim to reflect the
uncertainty, both the scenarios above outlined were considered, pursuant to requirements of ESMA public statement. In particular, the future cash
flows were estimated by weighting the “Baseline” and the “Downturn” scenarios respectively for 60% and 40%.
Moreover, considering that, further to the cash flows, additional parameters are relevant in the calculation approach underlying the DTA
sustainability test, the evaluation of (i) volatility of expected profits before tax, and (ii) the confidence level used in the MonteCarlo calculation, were
reviewed taking into consideration the ESMA statements on recognition of deferred tax assets arising from the carry-forward of unused tax losses12
For further information on the methodology, results and base assumptions used in deferred tax assets, refer to section “Section 11 - Tax assets and
tax liabilities - Item 110 (Assets) and Item 60 (Liabilities) of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets.
The results of these evaluations might be subject to changes depending on the evolution of the geopolitical tension, the higher and more persistent
inflation and, ultimately, on the 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.

Measurement of Credit Exposures
With reference to the credit exposures as at 31 December 2022, the macroeconomic scenarios used for calculation of credit risk parameters
(Probability of Default, Loss Given Default, Exposure at Default) were updated according to the Group policies, on the basis of the scenarios
highlighted above. In this regard, the forecast on interest rates was revised upward, in line with the announced monetary policy and market
evolution. Specifically, the ECB Refinancing interest rate is assumed to further rise by 30 bps in 2023 (vs end-of-year levels of 250bps), and to
gradually reduce afterwards in 2024 and 2025. The same assumptions are kept for the Downturn Scenario.
In light of the persistent level of uncertainty, the overall blended probability was worsened by eliminating the positive scenario (whose weighting was
reduced from 5% to 0%), correspondently increasing the Baseline scenario from 55% to 60%; eventually, the Downturn scenario was kept at 40%.
In this regard, it must be noted that the amount of loan loss provisions is determined by considering: (i) the classification (current and expected) of
credit exposures as non-performing; (ii) the sale prices, for those non-performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external
counterparties; and (iii) credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9,
incorporate - among the other factors - forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
For additional information on the measurement of credit exposures refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
As well as for other assets, also in this case the measurement is affected by the mentioned degree of uncertainty on the evolution of the geopolitical
tension, the higher and more persistent inflation and, ultimately, the 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 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.
Eventually, 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.
Measurement of Real estate portfolio
Always with reference to the valuation of the non-financial assets, the valuation of the real estate portfolio 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 2022, the fair value has been determined through external appraisals, following the Group guidelines.
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 2022 as a result of the possible evolution of real estate market.
Further information are reported in the paragraph “Section 9 - Property, plant and equipment - Item 90” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets.
Other measurements
The following additional Balance sheet items might be significantly affected in their evaluation by risks and uncertainties, even if not directly
connected with the slow-down of the economic activity and the associated uncertainty level of the economic recovery:
• fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
• severance pay (in Italy) and other employee’s benefits (including defined benefit obligation);
• 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 2022, they might be
subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Furthermore, the following factors, in addition to those illustrated above, might influence the future results of the Group and cause outcomes
materially different from those deriving from the valuations: (1) general economic and industrial conditions of the regions in which the Group
operates or holds significant investments; (2) exposure to various market risks (e.g. foreign exchange risk); (3) political instability in the areas in
which the Group operates or holds significant investments; (4) legislative13, regulatory and tax changes, including regulatory capital and liquidity
requirements, also taking into account increased regulation in response to the financial crisis. Other unknown and unforeseeable factors could
determine material deviations between actual and expected results.
It is worth noting that, since 2 March 2022, the ECB stopped the quotation of EUR/RUB exchange rate for the preparation of the Consolidated
financial statements. Therefore, as at 31 December 2022 and in coherence with the first nine months of the year, the Group has applied an OTC
foreign exchange rate provided by Electronic Broking Service14 (EBS). Additional information is provided in “Section 5 - Other matters”, Notes to the
consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General. In this regard it cannot be excluded that, once the ECB will restart listing
RUB/EUR FX rate, these quotes might be different from EBS quotes, thus requiring the recognition of an impact in Net Equity and in P&L.
13 With regard to Bitminer case refer to the paragraph “2.5 Operational risks – B Legal Risks” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the
prudential consolidated perimeter.
14 EBS is a wholesale electronic trading platform used to trade on the foreign exchange market (FX) with market-making banks. It is part of CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange).

Statement of going concern
In their joint Document No.4 of 3 March 2010, Banca d’Italia, Consob and ISVAP made observations on the 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. Also following
such guideline, the present statement of going concern is released.
The Directors observed the increase in the geopolitical tension between Russian Federation and Ukraine during 2022 and the sanctions imposed by
several countries to Russia which replied with countersanctions. Such events determined a relevant uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook, in
terms of GDP, inflation rates and interest rates. Furthermore, the Directors observed the evolution in Covid-19 pandemic and the on-going lifting of
the containment restrictions put in place by governments since 2020.
The Directors assessed such circumstances, also evaluating the operations directly held in the Russian market through its subsidiary AO UniCredit
Bank (Russia), and concluded, with reasonable certainty, that the Group will be able to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a result, in
accordance with the provisions of IAS1, the Consolidated Financial Statements of UniCredit group as at 31 December 2022 was prepared on a
going concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, the main regulatory ratios have been taken into account at 31 December 2022, in terms of: (i) the
actual figures as at 31 December 2022 (CET1 Ratio Transitional equal to 16.68%; TLAC Ratio equal to 26.90% in terms of RWA and 8.76% in terms
of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 161% 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 756 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 527 basis points in terms of
RWA and 172 in terms of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 61 percentage points); iii) the expected evolution of
the same ratios during 2023 (in particular, in 2023, it is expected to maintain a significant margin above the capital requirements, consistently with
the UniCredit Unlocked CET1 ratio target of 12.5-13 per cent).
Consistently with such evidence, the Directors have proposed to the Shareholders’ meeting, which approved, the distribution of a remuneration, in
part in cash and in part through shares buyback subject to the ECB's authorisation. In this regard, pursuant to the resolution passed by the
Shareholders' Meeting on 8 April 2022, as updated and integrated pursuant to the shareholders' resolution of 14 September 2022, UniCredit
announced (i) the completion on 14 July 2022 of the first tranche of the share buy-back programme communicated to the market on 10 May 2022
and initiated on 11 May 2022 following ECB Authorization, in this regard on 19 July 2022 UniCredit communicated the cancellation of
No.162,185,721 treasury shares, without reduction of the share capital and (ii) the completion on 30 November 2022 of the second tranche of the
share buy-back programme communicated to the market on 21 September 2022 and initiated on the same date, following ECB Authorization, in this
regard on 14 December 2022 UniCredit communicated the cancellation of No.86,949,149 treasury shares, without reduction of the share capital.
Finally, the Directors have also proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting, in 2023, the distribution of a remuneration, in part in cash and in part through
shares buyback subject to the ECB's authorization.
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 2022 are described below.
Consolidated accounts
For the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022 the following sources have been used:
• the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. accounts as at 31 December 2022;
• the accounts as at 31 December 2022, 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 2022 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 IAS/IFRS are audited 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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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%15 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 structured entities, not being governed through voting rights, can not 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

Notes to the table showing the investments in subsidiaries:
(1) Type of relationship:
1= majority of voting rights at ordinary shareholders’ meeting;
2= dominant influence at ordinary shareholders’ meeting;
3= agreements with other shareholders;
4= other types of control;
5= centralised management pursuant to paragraph 1 of Art.39 of “Legislative decree 136/2015”;
6= centralised management pursuant to paragraph 2 of Art.39 of “Legislative decree 136/2015”;
(2) Voting rights available in general meeting. Voting rights are disclosed only if different from the percentage of ownership.
(3) Companies consolidated line by line under IFRS10 as a result of the simultaneous availability of power to govern the relevant activities and exposures to variability of related returns.
(4) It should be noted that as at 31 December 2022 the voting rights that can be exercised directly or indirectly relating to subsidiaries based in Russia, or companies subject to significant influence by them, are fully
enforceable and not being restricted the ability to appoint members of the Management Bodies there are no indications that lead to reconsider the effectiveness of the shareholding relationship with these companies on the
same date.

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 2022 the Group holds the majority of the voting rights in all the operating entities subject to consolidation.
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,
• 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 favor 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.
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.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 2022, it should be noted that 183 controlled entities (of which 26 belonging to the Banking Group) were not
consolidated pursuant to IFRS10, of which 181 for materiality threshold and/or liquidation procedures, while the remaining 2 companies relate to one
restructuring procedure whose risks are measured coherently as part of the credit exposures. Based on available information, it is believed that their
consolidation would not have impacted significantly the Group net 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 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 (UCBA) to UniCredit S.p.A. effected in 2016, UniCredit
S.p.A. undertook an agreement with UniCredit Bank Austria AG and its minority shareholders 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)
575/2013 on “prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms” and that controls financial institutions subject to the same
regulation.
The ability to distribute capital or dividends of the banks and of the other regulated entities controlled 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.
With reference to the current geopolitical tensions:
• UniCredit group operates in Russia through its subsidiary AO UniCredit Bank and its controlled companies. In this regard it is worth to note that (i)
in March 2022 the President of Russian Federation issued a Decree subordinating the sale of shares to the permission of the Government
Commission for the Control of Foreign Investments in Russia and (ii) in August 2022 an additional Decree was issued which banned the sale of
shares of Russian credit institutions identified by a specific list to be approved by the President of the Russian Federation on the proposal of the
Government of the Russian Federation, agreed with the Central Bank of Russia.
Moreover, in March the President of Russian Federation issued a Decree establishing that payments of dividends for an amount exceeding 10
million rubles should be made to a special account whose utilization requires special permission from the Governmental commission for the
Control of Foreign Investments in Russia (no procedure of providing such permissions has been established yet); in this regard, it is also worth
noting that the Central Bank of Russia in June 2022 recommended credit institutions to withhold from payment of dividends until the end of 2022.
• the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated January 28, 2023 "On the Application and Amendments to Personal
Special Economic and Other Restrictive Measures (Sanctions)", enacted by the Decree of the President of Ukraine of 28 January 2023
No.50/2023 established a series of restrictive measures on the ability of certain Russian companies, also including a Group legal entity, to conduct
operations in Ukraine. It should be noted that at the moment the Group subsidiary mentioned by the Decree has no operation in Ukraine.
The capital ratios requested for 2023 to UniCredit group by European Central Bank (ECB), also because of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation
Process (SREP) performed in 2022, are higher than the minimum requirements set by the mentioned regulations. For the disclosure on UniCredit
group Capital Requirements, refer to the paragraph “Capital ratios” of the chapter “Capital and value management” in the Consolidated report on
operations.
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 because 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: consequently, a portion of available liquidity may suffer impediments that hinder its transfer among
group entities. Further details are reported in paragraph 2.4 Liquidity risk, Consolidated reports and accounts 2022 of UniCredit group, Notes to the
consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
With reference to contractual agreements, UniCredit group has 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 2022 is equal to €36,057 million and includes capital instruments and TLAC eligible instruments.

Risks, uncertainties and impacts of Covid-19 pandemic
Reference is made to “Section 2 - General preparation criteria” for a description of risks and uncertainties relating to Covid-19 pandemic.
Contractual modifications and accounting derecognition (IFRS9)
In order to limit the effects of the restriction’s 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 clients eligible for such kind of initiatives, to postpone the payment of instalments, 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 at 31 December 2022 loans and advances subject to Covid-19 related forbearance moratoria measures (government ones or offered by the
bank) are still present in some countries.
In accordance with ESMA's declaration16 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 exposures17. 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 2022 the amount deriving from the modification loss
recognised through Profit & Loss was equal to -€4.6 million.
16 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.
17 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.

Part A - Accounting policies
TLTRO
According to UniCredit group accounting policy, the TLTRO III liabilities are recognised as 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 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 (CNL) toward eligible counterparties18.
In particular, the contractual conditions related to the TLTROs instruments originally reflected the 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 that such an interest 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.
Therefore, the contractual terms were interpreted as clause reflecting one-coupon floating-rate19 financial liability (the refinancing operation), and
considered part of the calculation of the liability’s interests according to IFRS9.
Under the said accounting standard, the interests were calculated by using the “effective interest method”, that allocates interests over the
application period of the “effective interest rate” (EIR). 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, the changes in the “performance-related” remuneration occurred in the periods from June 2020 to June 2022 have been 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) have been reflected by adjusting instruments’ carrying amount calculated by reference to the evolution
of the “TLTRO index” and limited to the accrued portion till 22 November 202220.
In March 202221, the expected repayment of the TLTRO III.7 allotment (“TLTRO III.7”) was postponed from the first early-termination window (June
2022)22 to the maximum contractual term (March 2024) and the effective interest rate has been increased from -0.9935% to -0.7075%23, coherently
with (i) benchmark achievements for CNL in both special24 & additional special25 reference periods and (ii) outstanding MRO and DFR levels,
leading to a negative impact for -€37 million.
During the third quarter 2022, the ECB increased the Deposit facility rates twice: in July 2022, the DFR was raised from -0.5% to 0%, while in
September from 0% to 0.75%. As a result of the application of the accounting policy, the effective interest rate of the TLTRO III was retrospectively
recalculated: for TLTRO III.4, the recalculation resulted in an EIR increase from -0.83% to -0.71% while for TLTRO III.7 the recalculation resulted in
an EIR increase from -0.51% to -0.32% (overall weighted average EIR increases from -0.82% to -0.67%), leading to a negative impact for -€313
million.
On 27 October 2022 the Governing Council of the ECB decided to recalibrate the conditions of the third series of targeted longer-term refinancing
operations (TLTRO III) as part of the monetary policy measures adopted to restore price stability over the medium term aimed to contribute to the
normalisation of beneficial bank funding costs.
Indeed, the purpose of the TLTRO changed, from instruments designed to improve the functioning of the monetary policy transmission mechanism
by stimulating bank lending to the real economy, to regular funding to banks at markets interest rates26. In more details:
• the interest rate calculation based on Average DFR “origin to date” was maintained for the period from the settlement date of each respective
TLTRO III operation until 22 November 2022;
• from 23 November 2022 on (i.e., until the maturity date or early repayment date of each respective TLTRO III operation), the interest rate is
indexed to the average applicable key ECB interest rates over this period (i.e., the DFR, having UniCredit achieved the CNL threshold).
Against this backdrop, it was assessed whether the change in the TLTRO contractual conditions constitutes a substantial modification of the terms
of the financial liability, which, according to IFRS9 par. 3.3.6, shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the
recognition of a new one.
In this assessment, it was considered that the contractual conditions of the liability were changed, by:
• delinking any anchor point with the “moving average” over the entire life of the instrument;
• transforming its nature into a “plain-vanilla” floating rate instrument at market conditions for periods beyond 23 November 2022; as a result, any
decision to retain the position unchanged is managerially equivalent in having reimbursed the former positions to issue the new ones;
• contextually introducing new dates for early redemptions at par with no penalties27.
18 Loans to non-financial corporations & Loans to households, excluding loans for house purchase.
19 Either for the base rate (Average DFR or Average MRO) and the additional CLN benefit/spread (up to -50bps with a cap/maximum of -1% overall rate for a portion of the liability’s expected duration).
20 Similarly, to other “market indexed” variable rate notes.
21 As for the submission to Group Financial Risks Committee.
22 As for deliberation taken in the internal Committee.
23 The -1% interest from CNL target achievements limited to the period 24 March 2021 - 23 June 2022.
24 Special reference period means the period from 1 March 2020 to 31 March 2021.
25 Additional Special reference period means the period from 1 October 2020 to 31 December 2021.
26 Also indicated by the circumstance that three additional voluntary early repayment dates were introduced, the first coinciding with the start of the new interest rate calculation method on 23 November 2022.
27 Plus financially accrued interest.
230 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Consequently, the contractual changes were deemed to be substantial to trigger the derecognition of the underlying liability, as the economic risks
underlying the TLTRO III liabilities significantly changed.
Additionally, it was found to be no more appropriate to calculate the amortised cost according to the average effective interest rate calculated since
inception of the instrument, and till its maturity28.
As a result, the derecognition of the current financial liability and the recognition of the new financial liability performed on 23 November 2022,
determined a positive impact through P&L for +€508 million29 recognised under item “100.Gains (losses) on disposal and repurchases of financial
liabilities”.
It should be noted that the current IAS/IFRS lacks a specific guidance on accounting for TLTRO instruments30.
Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the accounting treatment adopted by the Group, as described above, may be still subject in the future to
different interpretations by the competent bodies.
The former TLTRO’s fixed rate exposure was partly hedged under a macro fair value hedge relationship of a sub-portfolio composed by 2 financial
liabilities (i.e., TLTRO III.4 and TLTRO III.7) according to IAS39.AG114.a31.
Based upon the BP01 sensitivity mapping under the former economic conditions, the hedges provided for the recognition of accounting
effectiveness since initial designation. However, given the changes announced by the ECB, which transformed the instrument into a 100% floating
rate liability, both fair value and interest rate risk of TLTRO materially changed, providing the hedge relationship not being anymore prospectively
effective.
As a result, on 27 October 2022, with reference to 26 October close of business32 economic value, the derivatives contracts hedging the TLTRO
interest rate risk under the mentioned fair value hedge relationship, were de-designated and re-designated as hedging derivatives of a portfolio of
other financial liabilities in a macro-hedge relationship, determining the recognition of a mark-to-market revaluation equal to +€384 million (debit
side; “Changes in fair value of portfolio hedged items”).
Following the derecognition of the TLTRO liability, the mentioned revaluation was:
• amortized at Net Interest Income, in coherence with the amortization of the upfront payments embedded in the derivatives, till 23 November (in
accordance with IAS39.92);
• recycled through P&L (in accordance with IAS39 par. 89A) on 23 November 2022, determining a negative impact for -€355 million (net of
amortization above) presented in item “100.Gains (losses) on disposal and repurchases of financial liabilities”.
As at 31 December 2022, following the early repayment for €29 billion by December 2022, UniCredit group still retains €65 billion of TLTRO III.4
(with maturity June 2023) and €13 billion of TLTRO III.7 (with maturity March 2024), for an outstanding total of €78 billion, with an overall 2022 P&L
positive contribution for €397 million stemming from the financial liability: (i) the accrual of positive interest from 1 January to 22 November 2022 for
+€412 million, (ii) -€168 million of interest cost for the period from 23 November to 31 December 2022, (iii) +€153 million deriving from the
derecognition of the financial liabilities and the de-designation/re-designation of the derivatives (i.e. respectively +€508 million and -€355 million as
mentioned above).
Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) transition
Following the concerns raised about the integrity and reliability of major financial market benchmarks the Financial Stability Board (FSB) started a
comprehensive reference rates reform. In order to assess the relevant risks associated with the benchmark reforms 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), during 2018 UniCredit group launched a Group wide project in order to manage the IBORs (Interbank Offered Rates)
discontinuation with a multiyear roadmap defined based on both Group exposure (mainly focused on Euro) and transition timeline.
It is worth to mention that the “European Working Groups on Euro Risk-Free Rates” issued its recommendations on Euribor fallbacks and cessation
triggers, while other international working groups and bodies (e.g., International Swaps and Derivatives Association - ISDA; ICE Benchmark
Administration - IBA; London Clearing House - LCH) issued recommendations, focused on LIBOR discontinuation, to be considered while
envisaging market practices to consider on transition.
28 From 27 October 2022 till 23 November 2022 (derecognition date), the Net interest income was recognised according to the effective interest rate determined in September 2022 as following the amendment of the
liability structure- it was no more possible to apply the previous accounting approach which involved recalculation of the effective interest rate.
29 Being the difference between (i) the contractual financial remuneration (collectible on effective re-payment) and (ii) the accounting accruals so far.
30 Indeed, on 16 February 2021, ESMA informed the Market that a letter requiring an official position by IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) about the TLTRO III accounting treatment would have been issued. In June
2021, IFRIC replied without providing clear guidance on the topics raised by ESMA; in particular, questions related to the effective interest rate and the consequence of the modification in interest rate were referred to the
“Post-Implementation Review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS9”.
31 IAS39 AG 114.a) states that "the entity may identify two or more portfolios in which case it applies the IAS39 guidance to each portfolio separately”.
32 Being the last date in which the hedge was proved effective.

At the same time, the Benchmark Regulation was amended to allow the EU Commission to provide for statutory replacement rates, while the other
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) defined amendments to the applicable laws in order to support a smooth transition.
Specifically, on 5 March 202133, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in its capacity as LIBOR regulator, announced that LIBOR settings process
would have not been available (ceased to be provided or no longer representative) according with the following discontinuation path:
• immediately after 31 December 2021, in the case of all Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen settings, and the 1-week and 2-month US
Dollar settings; and
• immediately after 30 June 2023, in the case of the remaining US Dollar settings.
With reference to USD Libor, the FCA is discussing about using its powers under the UK Benchmarks Regulation to compel ICE Benchmark
Administration (IBA) to continue to publish the 1-, 3- and 6-Months settings under a “synthetic” methodology for a temporary period after the end of
June 2023, until the end of September 2024.
With reference to JPY and GBP Libor, in September 2021, the FCA initially deliberated to require IBA until end of 2022 for the publication under a
changed methodology basis (also known as 'synthetic') of the 1-, 3- and 6-Months Libor settings made available by IBA for use in legacy contracts
other than cleared derivatives. Synthetic settings availability provides some relief on LIBOR contracts repapering effort (in particular for contracts
subject to UK law). Afterward, FCA announced:
• to require IBA to continue to publish 1- and 6-Months “synthetic” GBP LIBOR settings until 31 March 2023, after which these settings will
permanently cease;
• to require IBA to continue to publish the 3 -Month “synthetic” GBP LIBOR setting for the duration of 2023, and
• that it intends to require IBA to continue to publish this setting until the end of March 2024, after which it would permanently cease.
Publication of the mentioned “synthetic” JPY LIBOR settings ceased after 30 December 2022.
The continuing discussions and consultations, while aimed to bring further stability in the market and reduce conduct risk, still represent source of
possible uncertainty, with reference to the timing and/or fallback rules applied to outstanding stock of assets, liability and derivatives linked to other
IBOR agreements (yet to be transformed or transitioned).
The European Commission adopted an Implementing Act of the BMR that has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22
October 2021; the Implementing Act provides legal ground for a Statutory Replacement Rate for legacy contracts indexed to CHF LIBOR and
EONIA that have not yet been repapered or do not contain adequate fallback rates.
Such a replacement rate operating by law brought further stability in the market and reduced the conduct risk associated with the outstanding stock
of assets, liabilities and derivatives transformed or transitioned or yet to be transformed or transitioned.
In order to address potential source of uncertainty on the effect of the 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 for UniCredit group as of 31 December 2022 is presented below:

33 On the same day, ISDA echoed stating that the FCA announcement constituted a trigger event under the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol; as a result, the fallback spread adjustment on relevant derivatives (also
applicable on cash instrument considering the recommendations of major national working group), would have been fixed starting from the same day for all Euro, Sterling, Swiss Franc, US Dollar and Japanese Yen LIBOR
settings.
232 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
IASB issued “Interest Rates benchmark Reform - Phase 2; Amendments to IFRS9, IAS39 and IFRS7” including indications to manage changes in
financial instruments that are directly required by the Reform and providing for (i) exceptions to standard rules dealing with accounting for changes
of the contractual cash flows of assets and liabilities and (ii) reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships.
As long as contractual terms (i) are amended as a direct consequence of interest rate benchmark reform and (ii) the new basis (to determine the
contractual cash flows) is economically equivalent to the previous basis34, they will be treated as changes to a floating interest rate arising from
movement in the market rate of interest (meaning the EIR will be updated prospectively without adjusting the carrying amount)35.
Similarly, the Amendments requires an assessment whether a modification of a financial instruments might lead to its derecognition (i.e., when the
modification results in a “substantial change” in the expected cash flows) to be applied only to changes beyond those resulting from the market-wide
reforms of an interest rate benchmark36.
As a result, changes that do qualify for the practical expedient will not be regarded as sufficiently substantial that the instrument would be
derecognised and, consequently, IFRS9 classification requirements (to be run at initial recognition of a financial assets, including SPPI test) does
not have to be conducted.
The major relief Amendments introduced in respect of hedge relationships is that changes to the documentation neither result in the discontinuation
of hedge accounting nor (in) the designation of a new hedge relationship as long as it only refers to:
• designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk, or
• amending the description (i) of the hedged item/portion of the cashflows or fair value being hedged, (ii) of the hedging instruments or (iii) how the
entity will assess hedge effectiveness37 as a consequence of changes to hedged and hedging instruments induced by the Reform (including the
addition of a fixed spread to compensate for the basis difference).

Reclassification of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing GmbH out of non-current assets held for sale
As at 31 December 2021, following (i) the resolution by the Board of Directors and (ii) the receipt of non-binding offers, UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and
its subsidiary and UniCredit Leasing GmbH and its subsidiaries were classified as non-current assets held for sale, whose disposals were expected
to be completed during 2022, also in coherence with the cash flows underlying UniCredit Unlocked multiyear plan.
Such classification and the resulting measurement to fair value less cost to sell, in coherence with the non-binding offers received, led to the
recognition of impairment for an overall amount of approx. -€545 million at consolidated level.
34 Including replacement of the benchmark, addition of a fixed spread to compensate for the “basis difference” among former and new benchmark duration, and changes to the reset period, reset dates or the number of
days between coupon payment dates, addition of a fallback provision.

Part A - Accounting policies
In the first half of 2022, the binding offers received for the companies were not coherent with the Board of Directors conditions, as well as the
expectations in terms of perimeter to be disposed, conditions and/or price. In light of this circumstance, as at 30 June 2022, the disposal process
was discontinued for both the subsidiaries.
Thus, as at 30 June 2022, the IFRS5 requirements for classifying the companies as “held for sale” were no longer met; indeed, the decision to
discontinue the selling process indicated that: (i) the intention to dispose was no longer in place, (ii) the assets are no more marketed for sale; (iii) it
cannot be expected that the sale will qualify as a complete sale by 1 year time according to the original plan.
The reclassification out of “held for sale” implied the restatement of 31 December 2021 comparatives presented in year-end 2022 consolidated
financial statements, where assets have been measured at the lower between (i) their recoverable amount (higher between fair value and value in
use) and (ii) their carrying value before these net assets were classified as held for sale.
In compliance with IFRS5 par. 28, the resulting adjustments were recognised by restating the 2021 balance sheet figures and consolidated net
profit, thus determining an increase of 2022 opening consolidated net equity for €556 million, substantially coherent, in quantitative terms, with the
impairment registered as at last quarter of 2021.
Implications of geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine on Consolidated financial statements
UniCredit group holds assets and liabilities potentially exposed to the consequences of the geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine,
specifically: (i) the Russian Subsidiaries included in the accounting scope of consolidation; (ii) the financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its
non-Russian subsidiaries towards Russian counterparties.
With reference to the Russian subsidiaries, the geopolitical tensions determined:
• the recognition of write downs following: (i) the update of the macroeconomic scenario for IFRS9 purposes; (ii) the downgrades of Russia
Sovereign; (iii) the overlays to cope with persisting uncertainties stemming from the potential evolution of the crisis;
• the adoption of a mark-to-model approach (from the previous mark-to-market) for the fair value measurement of Russian government bonds, to
reflect the perspective of UniCredit group (i.e., a western based financial institution) for which the Russian market is not immediately accessible
and therefore its quoted prices cannot be representative of fair value for consolidated purposes;
• the recognition of effects relating to the measurement of derivatives, following sanctions and restrictions;
• the adoption of specific XVA methodologies to reflect the offshore risk.
With reference to financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries toward Russian counterparties, the geopolitical crisis
determined write-downs stemming from:
• the update of the macroeconomic scenario for IFRS9 purposes;
• the downgrade of Russia Sovereign, impacting the credit risk assessment of the financial assets held towards Russian Multinational
counterparties, banks and financial institutions;
• the recognition of overlays to cope with: (i) the potential additional losses in asset valuation for Russian financial instruments, being the non-
Russian entities of the Group qualifiable as offshore investors towards these assets and, as such, penalised when compared to onshore ones (i.e.
Russian domestic); (ii) the spill-over effects of geopolitical crisis on non-Russian financial instruments, with specific reference to specific categories
of customers deemed particularly vulnerable in case of severe evolution of the crisis.
The following sections outline, with further details, the above-mentioned effects, specifically for Russian Subsidiaries (section 1.) and for UniCredit
S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries (section 2).
1. Assets and liabilities of Russian subsidiaries
The Group has invested in Russia through AO UniCredit Bank, its subsidiaries OOO UniCredit Garant, OOO UniCredit Leasing and its associate
Barn BV.
The line-by-line consolidation determined the recognition of net assets for €625 million including revaluation reserves (of which foreign exchange
revaluation reserve for -€2,146 million arising from the conversion of their assets and liabilities in EUR using the spot rate as at December 202238).

1.1 IFRS9 macroeconomic scenario
After the update as of 30 June 2022, the IFRS9 macroeconomic scenario was again updated as at 31 December 2022 by adopting a multi-scenario
approach, also following the ESMA recommendations given the persistent level of uncertainty; specifically, the following scenarios were considered:
• the Baseline scenario (namely, “Mild Recession”) weighted at 60%, reflecting the most likely expectations in the macroeconomic trends;
• the Downturn Scenario (namely, “Severe Recession”) weighted at 40%, that embeds a downward forecast of the macroeconomic parameters and
consequently in the expected profitability of the business.
The update of the IFRS9 macroeconomic scenario for the Russian subsidiaries led to recognize, for the full year 2022, total LLPs for approx. -€90
million.
1.2 Classification and re-rating of loans exposure
In line with IFRS940, the significant increase in credit risk - requiring the classification into Stage 2 - was triggered by macro-economic
circumstances, given the geopolitical crisis and the expected decrease in Russian GDP for the period 2022-2024, observed starting from the first
quarter 2022. On this basis, starting from 31 March 2022 and throughout the full year 2022, the AO UniCredit Bank exposures were entirely
classified in Stage 2 (for the residual part not already allocated in Stage 2 following the quantitative staging based on PD deterioration, as a result of
Russian Sovereign internal rating downgrade). It should be noted that since the beginning of the crisis, the Russia Sovereign creditworthiness has
been continuously assessed with specific Unlikely-to-Pay (UTP) assessment, in the end confirming the performing status of Russia. Indeed: (i) AO
UniCredit Bank and Cross Border41 portfolio were regularly paying, on overall basis, while Russian Sovereign Ruble denominated bonds regularly
served; (ii) the Russian Treasury executed payments on time, although in Russian Ruble as currency, confirming the willingness to pay; (iii) the
Russian Ruble payments represented a breach of the contractual conditions only for bonds issued before 2014, while the Bonds issued after this
date have been paid according to the contractual terms.
Regarding the Russian Sovereign exposures (resulting from IRB Groupwide Sovereign PD Model), the internal ratings were reviewed throughout the
year; initially, they were downgraded in March 2022 to timely embed the worsening of Russia creditworthiness, triggered by the severity of Western
countries’ sanctions, the Russian authorities’ response (ban on transfer of FX abroad) and the economic effects of the war. The downgrade of the
Sovereign internal ratings triggered the downgrades of Groupwide Multinationals (i.e., MNC) and Banks (the bulk of downgrades), which had Russia
as country of risk. These downgrades determined an increase in the Expected Credit Losses (resulting from the combination of PD, LGD and EAD
parameters) and Loan Loss Provisions. As of 31 December 2022, in light of the continuing deterioration of the economic and geopolitical scenario,
the internal ratings for Russian Sovereign exposures were further downgraded. The combination of Stage 2 classification and internal ratings
downgrade determined the recognition - for the full year 2022 -of total LLPs for approx. -€217 million on the Loans portfolio42.
1.3 Classification and re-rating of Russian government bonds
In addition to loans, since 31 March 2022 also Russian Debt securities belonging to the Amortized cost and FVtOCI portfolios were classified in
Stage 2 and downgraded, given the increase in credit risk according to the internal models, in coherence with the loan exposures43. As well, always
coherently with loan exposures, the Bonds portfolio was also affected by the further downgrade occurred in the fourth quarter 2022. The combination
of Stage 2 classification and internal ratings downgrade determined the recognition, for the full year 2022, of total LLPs for approx. -€209 million on
the Bonds portfolio44.
With specific reference to the Russian Debt securities belonging to the FVtOCI portfolios, a negative effect for -€66 million was recognised in OCI
reserve during 2022, as a result of the adjustment of the carrying value of FVtOCI Russian Government debt securities to their fair value as at 31
December 2022.
Indeed, starting from 28 February 2022, the Moscow Stock Exchange (MOEX) closed, and RUB bonds quotes became rare, disperse and actually
not executable. Despite the MOEX progressively resumed trading starting from 21 March 2022, the bonds quotes was deemed to be not suitable for
valuation purposes at consolidated level: as a matter of fact, from the perspective of UniCredit group (i.e. a western based financial institution), the
Russian market is not accessible and it cannot be representative of the fair value for consolidated purposes’ evaluation; as a consequence, the fair
value of the Russian Government debt securities was determined by applying a mark-to-model approach, instead of a mark-to-market approach.
In more detail, the Russian Federation USD debt implied spreads were used by the Group to evaluate Russian Federation RUB bonds, preserving
an offshore standpoint while capturing ongoing market trends. In this regard, since the third quarter 2022, the exchanges observed on the Russian
Federation RUB bonds were in line with the Russian Federation USD debt implied spreads, whose market activities cautiously increased following a
revision of U.S. Treasury guidelines45.
During the fourth quarter 2022, considering the increase in the effective trades observed since the third quarter 2022, the methodology to reflect the
price uncertainty was updated. As a result, instead of fair value adjustment, a correction was introduced according to the effective trades’ prices
observable on the offshore Market within 90 days’ time-horizon rolling, leading to an extra spread, added flat on L1 curve used to compute the Mark-
to-Model prices.
40 IFRS9 par. B5.5.17.
41 Financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries toward Russian counterparties.
42 The reported amount shows the increase in LLP occurred at the moment of reclassification in Stage 2 and rating downgrade.
43 For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that further Russian Government bonds are held by other Group legal entities in the held for trading portfolio for a not material carrying value.
44 The reported amount shows the increase in LLP occurred at the moment of reclassification in Stage 2 and rating downgrade.
45 Such guidelines allowed U.S. holders to enter the market to wind down their positions (in the first half of 2022 US Treasury forbade US investors from trading in these bonds).

1.4 Overlays
Given the uncertainties over the evolution of the crisis and the related effects on AO UniCredit Bank loan portfolio, additional actions were taken to
cope with potential future default migrations, as well as with the following two elements:
• corporate portfolio re-rating stemming from the update of the 2021 financial information; indeed, the latter did not incorporate the consequences of
the Russia-Ukraine crisis yet, whose effects were embedded in 2022 financials;
• pure temporary benefits on behavioural payment trends that may stem from adherence to legislative moratoria programs launched both on
Corporate and Retail by Governments/Central Bank to sustain clients in potential difficulty due to Western countries sanctions.
Thus, the overlays applied starting from second quarter of 2022 led to recognize, for the full year 2022, total LLPs for approx. -€48 million; such
overlays aimed to: (i) fix the LLPs to the level of 31 March 2022 (i.e., after application of LLPs aimed at covering Russia direct risk); (ii) re-scale the
LLPs with respect to the Loan-to-Customer portfolio evolution factoring-in repayment and exposure reduction if any, in order to ensure a minimum
coverage representative of the situation after Russian-Ukraine crisis. The reduction compared with the amount published in June 2022 (-€65 million)
mainly arises from the increase in LLP arising from the application of credit risk models that have consequently decreased the incidence of these
overlays.

1.6 Derivative exposures
The sanctions and restrictions led the derivatives’ counterparties to interrupt servicing (stopping settlement and disregarding margin call), thus
resulting in the activation of close-out process according to ISDA Master Derivatives Agreements/Credit Support Annex. Such circumstance
determined the recognition - for the full year 2022 - of Trading Profit/Losses for -€94 million and LLPs for -€21 million (the latter refer to the write-
downs recognised in “excess” of collaterals posted by counterparties and measured in Group Balance sheet at amortized cost).
With reference to the Fair value calculation, an update of XVA methodologies - in particular regarding calibration of risk inputs - was introduced since
31 March 2022, to reflect offshore risk (i.e., Russian risk assessment outside Russia). Indeed, till February 2022, CVA risk mapping assimilated the
country risk “Russia” to the average risks of Eastern Europe counterparties; then, since March 2022, a new CVA risk mapping was introduced to
assess Russian counterparty credit risk, by referencing the Russian Sovereign Credit Default Swap (CDS), separated from the Eastern Europe
counterparties in light of the changed geopolitical framework. For the full year 2022, the overall impact stemming from XVA, also including the
update in methodology, was equal to -€34 million.
1.7 Real Estate portfolio
The real estate portfolio of Russian subsidiaries (mainly composed by owned instrumental assets located in Moscow and Saint Petersburg
Commercial Business District) was subject to external independent appraisals right before 31 December 2022; the evaluation, aimed to update the
fair value of the assets, led to recognise not-material effects.

1.8 Sensitivity of Expected Credit Losses (ECL) to macroeconomic scenario for AO UniCredit Bank
The sensitivity of IFRS9 ECL to scenarios change is estimated by weighting at 100% (instead of 40%) the ECL stemming from the adverse scenario.
In details, when compared to the baseline, the ECL of AO UniCredit Bank would increase by about +8% equivalent to around +€52 million additional
LLPs.
Moreover, the sensitivity46 of ECL to GDP variations embedded in the different scenarios was also estimated as the ratio of:
• the difference between ECL estimated under the alternative and the baseline scenario;
• the GDP points deviations (on 3 years cumulative basis) between alternative and baseline scenarios respectively.
The implied assumptions are:
• GDP forecast (over 3 years) is assumed to be the most relevant economic factor as indicator of scenario severity;
• for AO UniCredit Bank, the Russian GDP is considered for the calculation of the respective sensitivity.
The results considering the current IFRS9 scenarios and portfolio show that for -1 point of GDP drop (cumulated over 3 years) the ECL of AO
UniCredit Bank is estimated to increase by +2.8%.
2. Financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries toward Russian counterparties
The present section provides information about the credit exposures subject to Russian risk held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian
subsidiaries (i.e., such exposures include neither the positions held by the Russian Legal Entities belonging to UniCredit group, nor Letters of
Credit).
The overall Gross Book Value for €2.4 billion is composed as follows:
• €1.5 billion attributable to the credit exposures of the Russia operating segment, having the following features:
- approx. €1.5 billion on-balance, and an amount lower than €0.05 billion off-balance;
- with an overall coverage for approx. 35%;
• €0.9 billion related to the exposures basically held by the Group Entities not belonging to the Russian Operating Segment, having the following
features:
- approx. €0.5 billion on-balance (benefitting from ECA guaranteed for €0.5 billion), and €0.4 billion off-balance;
- whose coverage substantially reflects the presence of ECA guarantees for most of the exposures.

2.1 Classification and re-rating of loans toward Russian counterparties held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries
The assessment reported in the previous paragraph (i.e., reclassification into Stage 2 and rating downgrade) was also applied to exposures held by
UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries toward Russian counterparties.
Furthermore, in the course of 2022, a series of events occurred:
• several Multinational Corporations decided to exit from Russian market and, among them, certain financial groups disposed their activities in
Russia or announced their intention to do so even incurring significant losses resulting from significant impairment and write-downs due to the
reduced recoverable value of their assets in such country together with difficulties in disposing it;
• certain Russian counterparties, including Russia, entered in technical default because of sanctions imposed against Russia which impeded them
to repay their debt toward foreign counterparty in accordance with the original terms of the contract subscribed.
46 The sensitivity of AO UniCredit Bank (Russia) is significantly affected by the mentioned Stage 2 classification of the entire portfolio.
238 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
These events pointed to a clear differentiation in asset valuation between onshore and offshore investors, where the latter are penalized in their
ability to recover the claims against investments in Russia. Furthermore, such events were considered indicative of the circumstance that the cash
flows expected to be received as offshore investor would be lower cash flows underlying by Stage 2 (with ordinary rating downgrade) and - as such -
worth to be embedded in the evaluation of these credit exposures as at 31 December 2022.
Indeed, in the perspective of an offshore investor exposed towards obligors with direct risk on Russia, such exposures are expected to suffer from
higher risk of missed fulfilment of credit obligation. In order to incorporate the mentioned events in the measurements of Loan Loss provision, it is
worth reminding that, as per IFRS9 requirements, credit models used for LLP calculation shall apply historical information, adjusted to reflect the
effects of the current conditions and forecasts of future conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical data are based.
To this regard, the credit models used by UniCredit are based on historical experience, adjusted to reflect the current and forecasted conditions
assuming ordinary credit recovery process; however, such models do not reflect the differentiation between on and offshore investors, also in light of
the Groupwide nature of these clients, primarily Multinational assessed with credit models, that - in line with prudential regulation requirement and
the nature of the underlying models - shall provide unique rating independently from the booking Legal Entities.
Considering such circumstances, and complying with the mentioned IFRS9 requirements, overlay measures were recognised as at 31 December
2022 to reflect the widening effect from the perspective of UniCredit group as offshore investor. The overlays were quantified by assuming a
coverage ratio comparable with the proactive classification of these exposures as unlikely to pay; as a result, as at 31 December 2022 the stock of
loan loss provisions on such exposures is equal to €559 million.
2.2 Geopolitical overlay resulting from Russia-Ukraine crisis
During 2022, the uncertainties on the economic activities arising from Covid-19 pandemics progressively faded away as demonstrated by the lifting
of the restrictive measures put in place by the governments to counteract the pandemic. On the contrary, the geopolitical uncertainties significatively
increased throughout the year: indeed, the start of the Russian-Ukraine conflict acted as a headwind to the economic growth as the spill-over effects
of Russian and Ukraine crises continued leading to revise the outlook for the euro area economy, also pushing up inflationary pressures and interest
rates.
In order to consider, when calculating the Loan Loss Provision, the sharp rise in energy costs, inflation and interest rates for both Corporate and
private individuals, UniCredit adopted geopolitical overlay. To this regard, the adoption of overlay is a complementary measure to the IFRS9 models
that, by its structure, has been already properly and directly proving to recognize the effect of geopolitical crises. In this context, while IFRS 9 models
- and in particular satellite models - are able to capture the effect of macro-economic scenario at portfolio level, the geopolitical overlays act on
specific sub-portfolios considered particularly vulnerable in case contingent situations may evolve to severe stressed conditions.
As of 31 December 2022, the geopolitical overlays amount to €1.8 billion (of which €0.5 billion recognised in the fourth quarter 2022 on a net basis in
light of the new risk assessment of €0.9 billion of overlays as mentioned below), broken-down according to the following components:
• Corporate energy-intensive industry sectors prone to be more affected by spill-over effects linked to Russia - Ukraine crisis, specifically impacting
the energy supply and related price soaring.
• Retail clients, for: (i) floating rate mortgages (not having overdue instalments), given the sensitiveness in this context of increasing interest
rate/inflation, and (ii) at least 1 unpaid instalment on their exposures, the latter indicative of counterparties with already difficulties in payments and
as such particularly vulnerable in this specific contingency.
The geopolitical overlays also include the cluster of credits related to Italian corporate counterparties previously belonging to the former moratoria
overlay. Indeed, such cluster of clients - that explicitly asked for additional moratoria prolongation (opt-in) in mid-2021 - still embed a potentially
higher level of credit risk compared with the remaining population, considering that a sufficient observation period since the end of the moratoria has
not yet elapsed (opt-in moratoria extension has expired in December 2021). Therefore, it was assessed that the consequences of the geo-political
crisis might still affect the ability of these customers to repay their credit exposures since their reimbursement capacity may be already weakened by
the consequences of the Covid 19 pandemics.
As far as the calculation is concerned, the credit exposures belonging to the above categories are identified according to their specific features.
Starting from this, satellite models are run by applying, as macro-economic conditions, the Multi Year Plan recessive scenario (i.e., Downturn) to
determine the adjustment to be applied to the default rate. Such adjusted default rate is then applied to the relevant categories to estimate the
expected new inflows of defaulted exposure, whose LLPs are then calculated according to the average coverage rate applied to Unlikely to Pay.
On the other hand, the overlays recognised in the past periods, following the previous extraordinary circumstances (e.g., Covid-19), have been
subject to new risk assessment (for a total amount of €0.9 billion), considering the following circumstances: (i) reallocation of the supply-chain
overlay within the overall concept of geopolitical overlay; (ii) reallocation of the overlay connected to the additional moratoria prolongation (i.e., opt-in
component, as above outlined) within the overall concept of geopolitical overlay; (iii) actual update of the IFRS9 macro-economic scenario, whose
LLP calculation incorporated the previous overlay related to the uncertainty stemming from the macro-economic situation.

3. FX rate used as at 31 December for the conversion of exposures denominated in Rubles
As a result of the geopolitical tension, the ECB suspended the EUR/RUB listing since 2 March 2022 (last fixing on 1 March 2022), while Central
Bank of Russia (“CBR”) continued to provide a fixing versus other currencies. Despite such suspension, the availability of RUB FX rate is needed for
preparing the Consolidated financial statements for the conversion into EUR of:
• RUB denominated exposures held by UniCredit S.p.A. and subsidiaries having a presentation currency different from EUR;
• Russian subsidiaries’ net assets (and related FX reserve) in the consolidated financial results of UniCredit group.
In light of the IAS21 requirements (which establish that when several exchange rates are available, the rate used is the one at which the future cash
flows represented by the transaction could have been settled if those cash flows had occurred at the measurement date), the Group decided to
adopt the RUB quotes listed by the Electronic Broking Service (“EBS”) in substitution of the lacking EUR/RUB quote. The choice of the provider was
executed following qualitative and quantitative assessment, which reported the following outcome: (i) the RUB quotes published by the platform are
representative of effective transactions between participants to the market; (ii) the FX quotes are liquid; (iii) the EBS RUB quotes resulted from
actual transactions by non-Russian based operators, thus granting that such quote effectively represents a market participant assessment of the
value of the RUB and therefore of the economic conditions of Russia47. In more detail, the mentioned EBS rate was used both for converting RUB
denominated exposures held by entities having EUR as presentation currency, as well as for consolidating the net assets of AO UniCredit Bank
(Russia) and determining the related FX reserve.
In addition to the above, it is worth reminding those exposures held by Russian subsidiaries and denominated into currencies different from RUB
shall be first converted into RUB for the purpose of consolidated financial statements preparation. In this regard, while the adoption of EBS RUB
quote would be appropriate, the conversion into RUB of exposures denominated in foreign currencies held by Russian Subsidiaries was executed
considering the rate provided by CBR considering that difference between CBR and EBS quotes was not significant.

The Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. and the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group as at 31 December 2022 are
audited by KPMG S.p.A. pursuant to Legislative Decree No.39 of 27 January 2010 and to the resolution passed by the Shareholder’s Meeting on 9
April 2020.
UniCredit group prepared and published within the time limits set by law and in manner required by Consob, the Consolidated first half financial
Report as at 30 June 2022, subject to limited scope audit, as well as the Consolidated interim reports as at 31 March and 30 September 2022, both
as press releases.
The financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. and the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group as at 31 December 2021 have been
approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting of 16 February 2023, which authorised its disclosure to the public also pursuant to IAS10.
Directive 2004/109/EC (the "Transparency Directive") and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 introduced the obligation for issuers of securities
listed on regulated markets of the European Union to draw up the annual financial report in the language XHTML, based on the European Single
Electronic Format (ESEF), approved by ESMA. For the year 2022 the consolidated financial statements have been "marked" with the ESEF
taxonomy, using an integrated computer language (iXBRL).
The whole document is filed in the competent offices and entities as required by law.
47 Such conclusions are also corroborated by the meeting held by ECB - Foreign Exchange Contact Group during May 2022 in which EBS representative reported that EBS EUR/RUB Market continue to function, and that
liquidity in the Russian ruble is below pre-invasion levels, with activity concentrated mostly among larger banks in offshore markets.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 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 derivatives 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.
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. Net gains (losses) on other 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. Net gains (losses) on other 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”.
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 refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated
accounts Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter with reference to the
Consolidated financial Statements and 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 related hedging policies with reference to the Company’s financial statements

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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” (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”. It is worth to note that, in light of the fact that the business model is aimed at collecting
contractual cash flows, disposals might happen when (i) caused by an increase in the assets’ credit risk, (ii) performed close to maturity (iii)
infrequent or (iv) not significant. In this regard, the Group has adopted policies to assess that these requirements are met, in particular through
internal thresholds set for verifying that sales are not significant.
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.
For further information refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and related
hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter with reference to the Consolidated financial Statements and 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
related hedging policies with reference to the Company’s financial statements
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.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 “80. Net gains (losses) on trading”. 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”;
• 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”.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 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.
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).

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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. Property, plant and equipment” 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”
(item “230. Net gains (losses) on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured at fair value” in the Company financial statements).
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.
Property, plant and equipment” 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:
TYPOLOGY
Buildings
Furniture and fixtures
Electronic equipment
Other
Leasehold improvements
GROUP
UniCredit S.p.A.
up to 50 years
up to 25 years
up to 15 years
up to 10 years
up to 25 years
up to 33 years
up to 7 years
up to 12 years
up to 7 years
up to 15 years
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.
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 measured 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).
246 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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 software, brands and patents.
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.
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.
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: (i) the technical feasibility of the project, (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset, (iii) its future usefulness, (iv)
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and (v) 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.
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”.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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 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.
Note that no Goodwill is recognised in the financial statement of the Group at the date of reporting.
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 (refer to “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.
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.
250 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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” (refer to 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.
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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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 “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter with reference to the
Consolidated financial Statements and the paragraph “Section 1 - Credit risk” of the Notes to the accounts Part E - Information on risks and related
hedging policies with reference to the Company’s financial statements
In order to calculate the expected loss and the related loan loss provision, the Group 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. For additional information 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 related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter with reference to the Consolidated financial Statements
and 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 related hedging policies with reference to the Company’s financial statements.
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
updates48.
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 Group 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.
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).
48 The regulatory framework for the new definition of default has been integrated with the entry into force, starting from 01 January 2021 of the "Guidelines on the application of the definition of default under article 178 of
(EU) Regulation 575/2013" (EBA/GL/2016/07).
254 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Past due exposures are evaluated 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 Group’s NPL strategy foresees the recovery through sale on the market according to what is specified in the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk”
of the Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated
perimeter with reference to the Consolidated financial Statements and 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 related hedging policies with reference to the Company’s financial
statements.
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 refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated
accounts Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter with reference to the
Consolidated financial Statements and 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 related hedging policies with reference to the Company’s 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.
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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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).
256 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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).
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.
Derecognition 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 securities 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 Notes to the consolidated accounts Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies,
Section 2 - Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Quantitative information.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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.
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).
258 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
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.
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 contract, 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.

Part A - Accounting policies
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” (refer to previous paragraph “10 - Provision for risks and charges - Retirement payments
and similar obligations” of this section). This method distributes the cost of the benefit evenly over the employee’s working life.
The liability is determined as the present value of average future payments adjusted according to the ratio of years of service to total years of service
at the time of payment of the benefit.
Following pension reform by Law Decree No.252/2005, TFR installments accrued to 31 December 2006, to the date between 1 January 2007 and
30 June 2007 on which the employee opted to devolve their TFR to a supplementary pension fund stay in the employer and are considered a post-
employment defined benefit plan therefore incurring actuarial valuation, though with simplified actuarial assumptions, i.e., forecast future pay rises
are not considered.
TFR installments accrued since 1 January 2007, date of Law Decree No.252’s coming into effect (or since the date between 1 January 2007 and 30
June 2007) that have been, at the employee’s discretion, either (i) paid into a pension fund or (ii) left in the company and (where the company has in
excess of 50 employees) are paid into an INPS Treasury fund by the employer, are assimilated to a defined-contribution plan.
Costs relating to TFR are recognised in the income statement in item “190. Administrative expenses: a) staff costs” (item “160. Administrative
expenses: a) staff costs” in the Company financial statements) and include, for the part of obligations already exiting at the date of the reform
(assimilated to a defined benefit plan), interest cost accrued in the year; for the part of plan considered defined contribution plan, the accrued
installments for the year paid into the complementary pension scheme or to the Treasury fund of INPS.
Actuarial gains (losses), i.e., the difference between the liabilities’ carrying value and the present value of the obligation at the end of the period are
recorded in the Shareholders' equity and disclosed in the item “120. Valuation reserves” (item “110. Valuation reserves” in the Company financial
statements) according to IAS19 Revised.
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).
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 (refer to the 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 tables of Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance
sheet - 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.

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.
The Group may use valuation techniques, such as:
• a market approach (e.g., using quoted prices for similar assets, 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 line 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 feasibility 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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Assets and Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Debt securities
Debt 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 they are allocated in the fair value hierarchy under Level 149.
Instruments not traded in active markets are marked to model through discounted cash flows model whose inputs include implied credit spread
curves. With this respect, depending on the proximity of the credit spread curve applied, the bonds are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3 respectively.
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 valuation process assigns prices considering quotes available in the market.
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 is reasonably made available without excessive costs or efforts.
ABS are assigned to Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of either prices or model inputs.
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 is not sufficient to
qualify the market as active.
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: these 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; these funds are measured on the basis of internal analysis that consider further information,
included those provided by management companies.
49 As far as Italian government bonds are concerned, it is worth stressing they are typically exchanged on the MTS market which is largely acknowledged as the main liquid platform for this kind of asset.

Part A - Accounting policies
Loans
Fair Value of loans measured at fair value is determined using either quoted prices or discounted cash flows analysis. They are classified under
Level 2 if implied credit spread curves, as well as any other parameters used for determining fair value, are observable on the market. In the case
the spreads curves are not observable they are derived using an internal spread model that is based both on observable and unobservable inputs, in
the case the impact of unobservable inputs is significant they are classified as Level 3. These include loans to corporates and household for which
no indication of applicable credit spread is available and for which, therefore, fair value has been determined through internal credit risk parameters.
Tangible assets measured at fair value
The Group owns real estate assets for which changed, starting from 31 December 2019, its measurement accounting policy moving from a cost
model to a fair value model for properties held for investment and revaluation model for properties used in business.
For both type of assets the fair value/revaluation model is determined on the basis of a valuation by an independent appraiser who holds a
recognised and relevant professional qualification which perform its valuation by directly visiting the property and in consideration of market analysis
(i.e. full appraisal) or, always considering the market analysis, 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 (i.e. desktop appraisal).
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique. In
particular, 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”);
• Funding Cost and Benefit Value Adjustment (“FCA/FBA”);
• 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 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 2022, net CVA/DVA cumulative adjustment, relating to performing counterparts, amounts to €50.2 million negative; in addition,
the adjustment related to own credit spread evolution on own financial liabilities measured at fair value, which is filtered out from regulatory capital
(accordingly to CRDIV), amounts to €82.7 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 account 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 FundVA 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 2022 the Fair Value Adjustment component (FundVA) reflected into P&L amounts to €44.5 million negative.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Model risk
Financial models are used for the valuation of the financial instruments if the direct market quotes are not deemed reliable. 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 cost
It measures the implicit cost of closing a trading position. The position can 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 amounts that approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.
Financial assets at amortised cost
For securities, fair value is determined according to what reported in section “Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - Debt
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 take into account the financial features of the financial
instruments.
Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of under construction properties, obtained through the enforcement of guarantees received and the right of use of leased assets is
determined on the basis of a valuation by an independent appraiser who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification which perform its
valuation by directly visiting the property and in consideration of market analysis (i.e. full appraisal) or, always considering the market analysis, 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 (i.e. desktop appraisal).
The attribution of fair value levels is based on the level of observability of the significant market parameters used by the valuation technique. In
particular, given the current portfolio composition, most of the positions are at Level 3.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Fair value for issued debt securities is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit credit risk. The Credit Spread takes
seniority into account.
Likewise, fair value for other financial liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow model adjusted for UniCredit credit risk.
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.
266 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Option Pricing Model
Option Pricing models 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 (Credit Default Swap) 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 where the value is determined based on the prices generated by market or previous transactions involving identical or
comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities.
Gordon Growth Model
A model used to determine the intrinsic value of a stock, based on a strip of future cash flows growing at a constant rate. Given a single cash flow
and a hypothesis on constant growth through time, the model estimates the present value of future cash flows.
Dividend Discount Model
A model used to determine the value of a stock based on expectations on its future dividend flow.
Given a series of forecasts on dividends payable in future exercises and a hypothesis on the subsequent annual growth of dividends at a constant
rate, the model estimates the fair value of a stock as the sum of the current value of all future dividends
Adjusted NAV (Net Asset Value)
NAV is the total value of a fund’s assets less liabilities. An increase in NAV would result in an increase in a fair value measure. Usually for funds
classified as Level 3, depending on the methodology adopted by the Fund to calculate the NAV, the fair value is adjusted to consider the issuer’s
default risk and liquidity risk.
Sum of the parts
This approach determines the economic value of a company or a business unit as the sum of the economic capital values attributable to the various
business lines within the same corporate structure.
Equity method
In the case of unlisted investments for which a limited availability of information does not allow for other methods to be adopted, the portion of
shareholders' equity resulting from the latest financial statements or interim report (quarterly or half-yearly) approved by the company can be used
as the best proxy of the fair value. For the purposes of determining shareholders' equity, valuation reserves must also be considered.
Simple equity method
With this method, the value of the company is determined as the difference between the assets and liabilities of the company restated at current
values; this method consists, therefore, in defining the individual asset and liability values at current values, highlighting any gains or losses with
respect to the carrying amounts.
Complex equity method
In addition to the measurement of the company using the Simple equity method, this method measures some "intangible" assets not present in the
financial statements, such as goodwill, trademarks, patents, intellectual property, concessions.
Mixed equity/income method
Determines the value of the company taking into account objective and verifiable aspects of the equity method, without however neglecting the
expected income flows, which are conceptually an essential component of the value of the economic capital and represented in the income
methods.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 the measure of the 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 macro-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, 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 represent 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 rate curves refer to the rates in currencies for which a market liquidity doesn’t exist in terms of tightness, depth and
resiliency.
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.
Credit spreads
Credit spreads reflects the credit quality of the associated credit name.
The credit spread of a particular security is reported in relation to the yield on a benchmark security or reference rate and is generally expressed in
terms of basis points. In the loan evaluation model, the credit spread is used to estimate the market risk premium applied to discounting the cash-
flows
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.
268 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
Price
Where market prices are not observable, comparison via proxy is used to measure a fair value of the instrument.
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 on 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 does not only depend 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.
Ke
The Ke (cost of capital) represents the minimum rate that the company has to offer to its shareholders as remuneration for the funds received.
Growth rate
It is the constant growth rate used for the future dividends estimate.

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 the valuation models developed by Group companies’ front offices are
independently tested centrally and validated by Risk Managements 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% absolute of volatility, 10% relative of dividend, 1% absolute of correlation and 10% relative of
volatility skew;
• for foreign exchanges: 1% absolute of underlying volatility;
• for interest rate derivatives: 1 basis point absolute of rates curves and volatilities or 1% absolute of swaption volatilities;
• for credit derivatives: 1 basis point absolute 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% absolute shift of the recovery rate;
• for debt securities and loans: 1 basis point absolute of credit spread;
• for equities: 1% of the underlying;
• for Units in Investment Funds quotes: 5 basis points absolute shift in PD and LGD, if evaluated leveraging on models considering counterparty
credit risk as main risk factor, otherwise 1% of fair value.

Part A - Accounting policies
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 the 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 a major part of the fair
value variance itself.
In particular, three levels are considered:
• Level 1: the fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the quoted prices on active markets;
• Level 2: the fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models for which significant inputs are
observable on active markets;
• Level 3: the fair value for instruments classified within this level is determined according to the valuation models for which significant inputs are
unobservable 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): at measurement date, quoted prices in active markets are available for identical assets or liabilities. 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.
Deciding among various valuation techniques to be used, 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 values levels (both between Level 1 and Level 2 and in/out Level 3) 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 are presented in the following paragraph “A.4.5
Fair value hierarchy”, 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 sub-item “1. c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value” at Level 3 as at 31 December 2022 includes the investments in Atlante and Italian
Recovery Fund (IRF - former Atlante II) carrying value €290 million.
As at 31 December 2022 the fair value for “Schema Volontario” securities is zero, being sold to IRF fund of all Mezzanine and Junior tranches in July
2022. Concerning Atlante and Italian Recovery Fund (former Atlante II) the Fair Value has been determined adopting an internal model in which
credit risk changes of single ABS in which Atlante fund is invested are considered.
For further information refer to paragraph “2.5 Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value: breakdown by product” of the 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 €572 million;
- of financial assets measured at fair value through reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for €357 million;
- of financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (financial liabilities held for trading and designed at fair value) for €2 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 €512 million;
- of financial assets measured at fair value through reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for €2,310million.

The sub-items “2.2.1 Profits recognised in Income statement” and “3.3.1 Losses recognised in Income statement” in financial assets are included in
the profit and loss in the following items:
• Item 80: Net gains (losses) on trading;
• Item 90: Net gains (losses) on hedge accounting;
• Item 110: Net gains (losses) on other financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The sub-item “2.2.2 Profits recognised in Equity” and the sub-item “3.3.2 Losses recognised in Equity” reports the profits and the losses arising from
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”.
Transfers between levels of fair value occurred during the year mainly refer to exposures held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its subsidiaries UniCredit
Bank AG and, with reference to Russian government bonds, AO UniCredit Bank. With reference to the latter refer to paragraph "Implications of
geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine on Consolidated financial statements" of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part A -

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The changes occurred between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 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 decrease in the Level 2 of fair valuer hierarchy occurred in the item “1. Financial liabilities at amortised cost” mainly derives from the reduction
of the TLTRO exposures liabilities, mostly at UniCredit S.p.A. and its subsidiaries UniCredit Bank AG and UniCredit Bank Austria AG.
The book value of item “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 €494 million. For further details on this item refer to table “12.1 Non-current assets and
disposal groups classified as held for sale: breakdown by asset type” of the 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, 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 (refer to Sections 1.a) and 12 of Part A.2 above) and instruments designated at fair value (refer to 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 accounts 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 amortization.
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 +€75 million as at 31
December 2022 (+€59 million as at 31 December 2021).

The reduction in the item “a) Cash” and the increase in the item “b) Current accounts and demand deposits with Central Banks” is mainly due to the

The item “b) Current accounts and demand deposits with Central Banks” mainly includes the investment of liquidity in overnight deposits with Banca
d’Italia and Bundesbank, in addition to the part that is maintained in the Compulsory Reserves, classified in the item Due from Banks 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.

Valuations at fair value were classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflecting the observability of the valuations input. For further information
see paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value”, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting policies.
The financial assets and liabilities relating to OTC Derivatives and Reverse repos managed through Central Counterparty Clearing Houses (CCPs)
are offset when (i) the clearing systems of CCPs guarantee the elimination or reduce to immaterial the credit and liquidity risks of these contracts
and (ii) the entity intends to settle these contracts on a net basis, in accordance with IAS32 - Offsetting, in order to improve the presentation of the
liquidity profile and counterparty risk connected with them.
The reduction of the item is mainly attributable to disposals of cash exposures performed during the period, mostly related to the subsidiary
UniCredit Bank AG.
The offset effect as at 31 December 2022, already included in the net presentation of these transactions, totaled €240,126 million increased in
comparison to €35,559 million as at 31 December 2021 due to the evolution of the reference market conditions, relating to the activities of the
subsidiary UniCredit Bank AG.

The decrease in item “A. Loans and advance to Central Banks” is mostly due to the decrease in the Compulsory Reserve held toward National
Central Banks, mainly observed in UniCredit S.p.A. and its subsidiary UniCredit Bank AG.
Loans and advances to banks 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 the paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value”, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting Policies.

The column “purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets” includes loans, belonging to stage 2 and stage 3, that at the time of the
purchase, as part of transactions other than business combinations, were already impaired.
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 - Information on risks and related
hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, Quantitative information, A. Credit Quality. Refer also the section "Other
Information" of Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Liabilities.
The sub-item “1.7 Other loans” includes:
• €5,305 million for trade receivables;
• €26,718 million for pooled transactions;
• €25,189 million other Loans not settled through current account;
• €23,972 million other advances to customers for import/export services;
• €18,392 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 paragraph “A.4 Information on fair value” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting Policies.
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.
Furthermore, the reduction of the credit impaired (Stage 3) is mainly attributable to the disposal transactions of that loans performed during the
period, mostly at UniCredit S.p.A.
For additional information refer to the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts, Part E - Information on risks and
related 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).

(*) Value shown for information purposes.
The increase in the “stage 1: of which instruments with low credit risk” is mainly due to the extension implemented during the period, and further to
Investment Grade Bonds, of the Low Credit Risk Exemption rule for clients with 1 year IFRS9 PD lower than 0.3%. This threshold, being a reference
value in ECB Asset Quality Review Manual, is also coherent with a risk level of Investment Grade.

Section 7 - Equity investments - Item 70
During 2022, impairment losses for -€238 million were recognised, mainly attributable to write-downs on investments valued at Equity method of
which: Bank Für Tirol und Vorarlberg Aktiengesellschaft (BTV) (-€86 million), Bks Bank AG (-€22 million) and Barn BV (-€111 million).
The calculation of the value in use for impairment testing purposes was carried out by using a Dividend Discount Model (DDM) which discounts
future cash flow projections (free cash flows to equity) at an appropriate discount rate. The free cash flows to equity were determined by subtracting
from net profit the annual capital requirement, which considers the changes in risk weighted assets (RWA) needed to achieve an adequate level of
capitalization. The applied discount rate is a cost of equity assessed with the Capital Asset Pricing Model which calculates the cost of equity as the
sum of the risk-free rate and equity risk premium.
With reference to BTV and Bks Bank AG, the set of projections employed for their impairment test as of 31 December 2022 was based on two
alternative scenarios: (i) “Baseline” scenario, coherent with the updated multiyear plan released by the banks; (ii) “Downturn” scenario, in which the
cash-flows were lowered to reflect worsened macroeconomic conditions. The use of a multiple scenario approach stems from the already mentioned
high level of uncertainties arising from the geopolitical tensions and the recommendation by ESMA’s public statement ("European common
enforcement priorities for 2022 Annual Financial Reports").
The parameters used in the execution of the impairment test are furthermore in line with the methodology outlined by the KSW50 guidance.
With reference to Barn, the cash flow projections were derived from the company’s multiyear plan, while the discount rate was determined according
to the Group approach described in the Company financial statements, Part B - Balance sheet - Assets, Section 7 - Equity investments - Item 70,
Estimating cash flows to determine the value in use of investments in subsidiaries, discount rates and regulatory capital targets.

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 are referred to the last financial statements 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 2022 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. For more details see
paragraph 7.1 of this section.
(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 recoverable value is lower than the book value.
As at 31 December 2022 for CNP UniCredit Vita S.P.A. the recoverable value was higher than the book value therefore a write-back of previous impairment was recognised. 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.
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.

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%51 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 2022, 8 equity investments (all held either directly or through consolidated subsidiaries) in associates were carried at cost.
Based on available information, it should be considered that their consolidation at equity would not have impacted significantly the Group
Shareholders’ equity.
51 10% for listed companies.

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 2022, 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.
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
2022 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 2022 were used, if no more up-to-date reports were available.
However, if financial statements or reports with a date other than 31 December 2022 were used, no subsequent transactions or events emerged
such as to require an adjustment of the results contained therein.
Finally, it should be noted that as at 31 December 2022 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.

Section 9 - Property, plant and equipment - Item 90
Valuation of the Group real estate portfolio
The Group adopts the fair value model for the measurement of properties held for investment and the revaluation model for the measurement of
properties used in business.
Such approach is 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 2022 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 +€109 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 +€92 million gross of tax
effect. In addition to this increase, net gains for +€11 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 +€6 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 +€48 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 +€40 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 result equal to +€2 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 the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies -
Other risk included in the Economic Capital).
By reference to the real estate units held as at 31 December 2022 and their corresponding market value overall equal to €5,890 million, has been
estimated a sensitivity to the increase/decrease in real estate values of +/-1% equal to approximately €59 million corresponding to approximately +/-
2 basis point of CET1 ratio.
Note the measurement of inventories of property, plant and equipment to the lower between cost and net realizable value has determined the
recognition of a net write-down for -€3 million.

Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets
Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) totally amount to €11,848 million (compared with €11,726 million as at 31 December 2021), of which:
• €5,793 million (compared with €6,313 million as of 31 December 2021) can be, under certain circumstances, converted into tax credits pursuant to
Law No.214/2011 (i.e., DTA convertible into tax credits);
• €2,931 million (compared with €3,138 million as of 31 December 2021), net of the accounting offsetting, are related to temporary effects (i.e., costs
and write-offs tax deductible in future years compared to the year of accounting relevance) which are not-convertible into tax credits;
• €3,124 million (compared with €2,275 million as of 31 December 2021) are tax losses carried forward (TLCF).
The €3,124 million TLCF are mainly related to:
• UniCredit S.p.A. for €2,428 (of which €650 million booked at the end of 2022 following the sustainability test);
• UniCredit S.p.A. for €211 million tax credit IRAP deriving from the conversion of so called Aiuto alla Crescita Economica (ACE);
• UniCredit Bank Austria AG for €369 million (of which €196 million booked during 2022 following the official confirmation by Austrian Tax Authority
of the correctness of their attribution to UniCredit Bank Austria Ag related to previous corporate transactions);
• UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. for €76 million.
The above-mentioned amounts are the ones resulting from the sustainability test provided for IAS12, which, taking into account the economic
projections foreseeable for future years and the peculiarities of the fiscal legislations of each country, checks whether there are future taxable
incomes against which TLCF can be offset. For further info concerning sustainability test refer to “Section 10 Tax assets and 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.
At Group level, total not recognised DTAs on TLCF are equal to €2,061 million mainly relate to: €1,490 million to UniCredit S.p.A., €267 million to
UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., €194 million to the UniCredit Bank AG and its subsidiaries and €78 million to the UniCredit Bank Austria AG and its
subsidiaries.
For deferred tax assets and liabilities of UniCredit S.p.A., reference is made to “Section 10 Tax assets and liabilities - Item 100 (Assets) and Item 60
(Liabilities)” of Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A., Notes to the accounts, Part B - Balance sheet - Assets, which is herewith quoted

11.8 Other informations
Referring to financial year 2021, UniCredit S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. registered a profit in their separate financial statements (respectively
€10,366 million and €13.9 million), hence during 2022 they did not convert Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) into tax credits.
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)
Non-current assets or groups of assets and directly connected 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.
Please note that figures of December 2021 have been restated following the reclassification of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and its controlled company
and of UniCredit Leasing GMBH and its controlled companies out of the non-current assets held for sale.
In the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, compared with 31 December 2021, the main changes are referred to the sale of the non-performing
loans portfolios in part off-set by the classification in this item of new portfolios of non-performing loans.
As regards the data for asset relating to discontinued operations and associated liabilities, compared to the figure as at 31 December 2021, it should
be noted the sale of the subsidiary OT-Optima Telekom (Croatia).
Fair value measurements, made for disclosure purposes only, are classified into a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in
the valuations. For further information see Part A - Accounting policies - A.4 Information on fair value.

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 €5.6 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.

which were eliminated from assets at consolidated level.
The same sub-item does not include the type of bond lending transactions collateralised by securities or not collateralised.
For further information refer to the paragraph “Other information”, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance sheet.

The item “3. Loans” also includes liabilities relating to repos executed using proprietary securities issued by Group companies, which were
eliminated from assets at consolidated level; the same sub-item does not include the type of bond lending transactions collateralised by securities or
not collateralised. For further information refer to the paragraph “Other information”, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated
balance sheet - Liabilities.
Deposits from 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.
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.

entity intends to settle these contracts on a net basis, in accordance with IAS32 - Offsetting, in order to better present the liquidity profile and
counterparty risk connected with them.
The offset effect as at 31 December 2022, already included in the net presentation of these transactions, totaled €237,693 million increased in
comparison to €42,509 million as at 31 December 2021 due to the evolution of reference market conditions, relating to the activities of the subsidiary

The classification of Liabilities in this item aims to reduce the accounting mismatch related to the use of financial instruments measured with
changes in fair value in the income statement in order to manage the risk profile.
Valuations at fair value are classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflecting the observability of the valuations input.
For further information refer to the paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting policies.
The sub-item “3.1 Debt securities - Structured” includes “Certificates”, structured debt securities, issued by UniCredit S.p.A. and by other Group’s
legal entities. These instruments are designated at fair value as the embedded derivatives cannot be bifurcated.
3.2 Breakdown of "Financial liabilities designated at fair value": subordinated liabilities

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 Group but
already settled during the period or in previous periods.
In this regard, it is worth to specify that the majority of this amount relates to performance obligations expected to be satisfied by the end of the
following year.
Refer to the paragraph “Section 13 - Other assets - Item 130” of the 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”, therefore its recognition in financial
statements has required the estimate, through actuarial techniques, of the amount of benefit accrued by employees and its discount to present
value. This benefit is calculated by an external actuary using the “projected unit credit” method (refer to the paragraph “Part A.2 - Main items of the
accounts” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting policies).

December 2021 to -€109 million as at 31 December 2022.
A change of -25 basis points of discount rate would result in an increase of the liability of €9 million (+2.45%); a correspondent increase of discount
rate, on the other hand, would result in a reduction in the liability of €9 million (-2.38%). A change of -25 basis points of price inflation rate would
result in a reduction of the liability of €6 million (-1.51%); a correspondent increase of price inflation rate, on the other hand, would result in an
increase of the liability of €6 million (+1.53%).

10.5 Pensions and other post-retirement defined-benefit obligations
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 60% 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 at Balance sheet reporting date. The balance sheet obligation is the result of the deficit or 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 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, it is worth to mention that, instead of
econometric models, a Nelson Siegel Svensson methodology has been applied in modelling the yield-curve expressed by the basket of securities
(by adjusting the long-term segment of the curve 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, performed on the basis of the methodology described above, as at 31 December 2022 leads to a decrease in
the negative balance of the valuation reserve relating to actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit plans of €1,322 million, net of deferred taxes, for a
negative balance which move from -€3,621 million as at 31 December 2021 to -€2,299 million as at 31 December 2022.

The +€1,154 million change in Group equity resulted from:
Change in capital:
withdrawal from the specifically constituted reserve, for the issue of the shares connected to the medium-term incentive plan for
Group personnel following the resolution of the Board of Directors of 15 February 2022
Use of share premium reserve:
for (i) the allocation to specific unavailable reserve in relation to the purchases of treasury shares in execution of “First Tranche of
the Buy-Back Programme 2021” and “Second Tranche of the Buy-Back Programme 2021" both related to the distribution of 2021
for the maximum amount authorized (-€2,580 million); (ii) coverage of the negative reserves to eliminate the negative components
related to the payment of AT1 coupons (-€350 million)
Change in reserves, including those one in treasury shares arising from:
· the attribution to the reserve of the result of the previous year of the Group, net of dividends and other allocations
· (i) the allocation of a portion of the Share Premium Reserve to set up the specific unavailable reserve for the execution of the

The FX currency reserves as at 31 December 2022 mainly refer to the Russian Ruble for -€2,116 million included in the item “Exchange differences”
and -€31 million included in the item “Part of valuation reserves of investments valued at net equity”.
The main variations in comparison to 31 December 2021 refer to the following reserves:
• “Actuarial gains (losses) on defined-benefit plans” for +€1,391 million mainly referred to the increase in discount rate induced by the reduction in
prices of High Quality Corporate Bonds, partially offset by (i) plan assets performance and (ii) salary and pension trend increases to reflect
outstanding macroeconomic scenario, characterized by a significant inflation pressure driven by energy and commodities prices;
• “Financial assets (other than equity instruments) at fair value through other comprehensive income” for -€1,364 million mainly due to Government
securities.

The main contributions are attributable to the minority shareholders of Zagrebacka Banka D.D. and its subsidiary UniCredit Bank D.D. and UniCredit
Bank Austria AG Sub-Group, mainly referring to Card Complete Service Bank AG.

SE.

dividends.

The net balance in the sub-item Leaving incentives for 2022 is mainly determined by the update of strategic plan that envisages a reduction of the
workforce over the plan horizon and the recognition of restructuring costs as at 31 December 2022 in force of specific communications to Workers
Council.
The main impacted countries are Germany, Russia and Italy. In detail:
• in Germany and in Russia the exits will be realised on individual basis;
• in Italy the exits for restructuring will be realised on a voluntary basis, in this regard, an agreement with the Trade Unions has been signed on 1
December 2022.
It should be noted that these expenses are initially recognised as provisions for risks and charges and will be reclassified to “Other liabilities” when a
specific debt toward the employees will arise.
In addition, it is worth to note that the amount related to the sub-item “Seniority premiums” includes the positive impact stemming from change in
discount rate applied on the related provision.

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, due pursuant to the Directives No.49 and No.59 of 2014.
In more details:
• 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.
Contributions to these schemes are accounted for in accordance with IFRIC21 “Levies”. Therefore, contributions are recognised in Income
statement when the obligating event identified by the legislation (i.e., having covered deposits at a certain date), that triggers the payment of the
obligation, occurs. Being economically compelled to continue to have covered deposits or assumption of going concern does not represent a present
obligation under IFRIC21 to pay such contributions for future periods. Future contributions will be recognised when they accrue upon occurrence of
the obligating event.
As at 31 December 2022, with reference to Directive No.59 (SRF contributions), the Group contributions recognised through the Income statement
totaled €606 million, entirely referred to ordinary contributions (of which, €242 million UniCredit S.p.A.).
With reference to Directive No.49 (DGS contribution), the Group contributions recognised through the Income statement totaled €295 million, of
which €227 million ordinary contributions (€117 million referred to UniCredit S.p.A.) and €68 million additional contributions (entirely referred to
UniCredit S.p.A.). Such contribution also includes the amounts recognised by UniCredit Bank AG and referred to the contribution to the
Compensation Scheme of German Private Banks53.
As at 31 December 2022, no irrevocable payment commitments payment commitments were used.

Guarantee fees for DTA conversion
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 recognized 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 fee due for the financial year 2022 has been paid on 24 June 2022 for an overall amount of €103.8 million relating to the whole Italian Tax
Group, of which €99.6 million for UniCredit S.p.A., €4.0 million for UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and €0.2 million for UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.
Fees paid to the auditing firm
Pursuant to article 2427, first paragraph of the Italian Civil Code, the fees paid to the auditing firm KPMG S.p.A. (and firms in its network) by
UniCredit S.p.A. and the Italian entities of the UniCredit group relating to financial year 2022 were as follows:
• legal audit of annual accounts (including the audit of the first half financial report): €3.9 million;
• other checks: €1.0 million;
• other non-audit services: €0.2 million.
The above amounts are net of VAT and expenses.

retained at the date of loss of significant influence and implied the recycle through profit or loss of the reserves basically referred to exchange rate
differences on Turkish Lira.

As at 31 December 2022 gains (losses) on disposals of investments are +€33 million (+€11 million in 2021) and refer to:
A. Property
Net gains of +€25 million (+€14 million in 2021) include the results of property sales carried out by some Group companies.
B. Other assets
Net gains of +€8 million (-€3 million in 2021) mainly include the positive result of sales of assets underlying leasing contracts with customers being
terminated (+€17 million) and losses from deconsolidation of some equity investments (-€9 million).
During 2022 (as in 2021) no transactions were carried out that would have entailed significant recognition of gains and losses attributable to
measurement at fair value of any equity interests retained at the date of losing control.
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.
Italy, Germany, Austria, the main countries where the UniCredit group operates, all have domestic income tax consolidation regimes.
Tax consolidation rules differ among countries, sometimes markedly. The main and common benefit of a domestic tax consolidation regime is the
faculty of offsetting 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.
The nominal corporate income tax rates in the key countries for the Group are: 31.8% 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, 15% in Serbia and 10% in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
16% in Romania, 19% in the Czech Republic, 21% in Slovak Republic, 20% in Russia, 9% in Hungary. Corporate income tax rate in non-key
countries are: 27% in the United Kingdom (including the 8% surcharge applied to Banking institutions), 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 (IRES) is equal to 24%, to be increased by a 3.5% surcharge applicable to banking and other
financial entities. Therefore, for UniCredit S.p.A. and for the other banks and financial entities belonging to the Group, the applicable tax rate is equal
to 27.5%.
The Italian Regional Tax on Productive Activities (IRAP) is levied at a rate of 4.65% to be increased by a surcharge applied separately by each
Region reaching a maximum nominal rate of 5.57%. To the resulting amount, an additional surcharge of 0.15% decided autonomously by each
Region with an healthcare deficit status, can be applied. For UniCredit S.p.A. the nominal IRAP tax rate is 5.45%. IRAP has a slightly different
taxable base than IRES and does not allow the offsetting of its taxable base with tax losses carried forward.
For Tax expenses (income) for the period of the Parent Company reference is made 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 - Income
statement which is herewith quoted entirely.

Part E - Information on risks and related 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 Risk Management function.
The structure’s “Risk Management” mission, under the responsibility of the Group Risk Officer (Group CRO) 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 to build a risk culture across the Group by training and developing highly qualified staff, in conjunction with the competent People & Culture
functions;
• help to find ways to rectify asset imbalances, where needed in conjunction with Group CFO functions;
• help the Business Functions to 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 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 thresholds proposed by the CRO54 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-functions55:
• governing and checking credit, cross-border, market, balance sheet, liquidity, operational and reputational risk for the Group 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 methodologies56, 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”;
• performing internal validation activities, at Group level57, on systems for measuring, credit, operating and market risks, or Pillar II risks58 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;
• ensuring that the competent Bodies/Functions get adequate reports;
• 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 Group59. The Group CRO define 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;
• 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;
54 Possible triggers and limits on profitability parameters must be agreed between CRO and Group CFO.
55 Where applicable, the below listed responsibilities are inclusive of the Foreign Branches of UniCredit S.p.A., as detailed in the Organizational Book - Application.
56 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.
57 Directly validating with direct supervision on group-wide methodologies for which UniCredit S.p.A. is competent, indirect on local methodologies.
58 Liquidity, Business, Real Estate, Financial Investments, Reputational, Strategic.
59 “Non-Performing Exposure: exposures (loans, debt securities, off-balance-sheet items) other than held for trading that satisfy either or both of the following criteria: (a) material exposures which are more than 90 days
past-due; (b) the debtor is assessed as unlikely to pay its credit obligations in full without realization of collateral, regardless of the existence of any past-due amount or the number of days past due. Non-performing
exposures include the defaulted and impaired exposures. The total NPE is given by the sum of non-performing loans, non-performing loans, non-performing debt securities and nonperforming off-balance-sheet items”

Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”) and Risk Appetite
UniCredit group assesses its capital adequacy under economic and normative perspective, 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
Economic 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 Economic Capital. The Economic 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 economic capital. It is also a key element
of the Risk Appetite Framework of the Group.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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 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, 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 (Economic Capital - “EC”). 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 EC is the Risk-Taking Capacity (“RTC”). This ratio must be above 100% (AFR>EC) 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 determine the measure of capital adequacy under economic perspective 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, considering 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
approved by the local competent functions.
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;
• provide qualitative statements concerning identified risks in order to strategically guide the relevant processes, the internal control system and
ensure prevention/early intervention on emerging risks.
The Group Risk Appetite is defined coherently 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 coherent 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;
• the risks the bank is willing to accept or should avoid both in normal and stressed conditions;
• an indication on strategies to manage key risks within the perimeter of the Group;
• qualitative statements for not quantifiable risks 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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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.
Threshold’s setting is evaluated by the relevant competent functions, also through managerial decision by the Board of Directors, respecting
regulatory and supervisory requirements and considering 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.
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 during the last Board of Directors held on 7 April 2022. In the Capital Adequacy Statement,
the Board of Directors states that the Group demonstrated to have a strong capital position, allowing to maintain under baseline scenario an
adequate managerial buffer on top of combined buffer requirement (CBR) and, in case of more severe conditions, to ensure adequate buffer in
addition to the total SREP capital ratio (TSCR). In light of the current geopolitical environment, the Management and the Board of Directors are
taking a prudent and sustainable approach, assessing any possible impact on the capital adequacy and related mitigation actions, and in parallel
proceeding with the implementation of the strategic plan.
The Group is consistently engaged in identifying areas of improvement of the ICAAP process in compliance with Supervisory expectations.
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 guidelines.
In 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. It aims at assisting supervisors in assessing the soundness and effectiveness of a financial institution’s culture in managing
risks. There are several indicators of a sound risk culture which need to be considered collectively and as mutually reinforcing. These indicators
include:
• 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 behaviors 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 behavior;
• 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 behavior. 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 Group Risk Management, in line with its mission as defined by the Board of Directors of UniCredit, adopted a structured, all-inclusive approach
to strengthen UniCredit's risk culture, by addressing the following areas:
1. Governance;
2. Learning and development;
3. Performance management;
4. Communication.

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 IFRS10, for additional information refer to
Notes to the consolidated accounts; 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.

For additional information on the matter related to evaluation on credit exposures refer to Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated financial
statements, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies.
The reduction in non performing exposures is mainly attributable to the sales of non performing loans “Itaca” and “Altea” executed by UniCredit
S.p.A. in the first half of 2022.
For additional information on Itaca and Altea transactions, securitisation transactions of non-performing loan performed by UniCredit S.p.A.,

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, excluding possible exposures and Group’s Legal entities classified as held for sale as at 31
December 2022.
These exposures are eliminated in the consolidation process.

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 the paragraph 1. General Aspects that also define the
level of equity that has to be provided by the sponsor, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging
policies - Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information.
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 - Information on risks
and related hedging policies, Section 2, Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information, 1. General Aspects.
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 the paragraph 1. General Aspects that also define the level of equity that has to be provided by the customers, Part E - Information on
risks and related hedging policies, Section 2, Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information.
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 the paragraph 1. General Aspects that also define the level of
equity that has to be provided by the customers, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies Section 2, Risks of the prudential
consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information.
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 the paragraph 1. General
Aspects that also define the level of equity that has to be provided by the customers, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on
risks and related hedging policies, Section 2, Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information.
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.
Quantitative information
The following table provides indication on assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures recognised in the balance sheet of the Group held
towards SPVs different from 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 reported in column “difference between maximum exposure to loss and
accounting value”.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter
2.1 Credit risk
Qualitative information
1. General aspects
Credit policies
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 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 risks portfolio at Country level.
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, credit risk portfolio monitoring
and reporting.
In line with such credit governance rules, the Group legal entities request the Group Risk Management 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 (“Group General Principles for credit activities”, “Group Credit Risk Management Framework”, “Guidelines on Loan
Categorization and Forbearance Classification”, “Credit Risk Parameters and IFRS9 Modelling and Planning”, “Credit Risk Strategies”, “Non-
Performing Exposures Risk Strategies”, “Credit Risk Mitigation”), defining Group-wide rules and principles for guiding, classifying, managing,
governing and standardising the credit risk assessment and management, as well as the development of its models, 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;
• 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.
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.
At both legal entity and Parent Company level, the policies are further detailed through operating instructions that describe specific rules supporting
the execution of day-by-day activities.
In UniCredit S.p.A., lending is governed by a regulatory framework, called the Testo Unico del Credito, which is constantly updated. This framework
includes the guidelines and operating procedures for managing the various phases of the credit life cycle, taking into account potential changes in
the credit strategy and progressive process and procedural improvements.
More specifically, the following process phases are regulated:
• the assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower, including the rating assignment procedures;
• the decision to grant credit lines, their implementation and the rules for managing them;
• the acquisition, management and monitoring of the value of collaterals and guarantees;
• the performance monitoring process and the initiatives to improve the sustainability of the counterpart, the customer classification process;
• the restructuring and the credit recovery process (debt collection policy/workout) as described below:
The Non-Performing Exposure (“NPE”) Strategy represents the base on which specialised debt collection processes are developed. The NPE
Strategy defines, at both the Group and Legal Entity level, the qualitative NPE management approach and quantitative time-bound targets by time-
horizon and dynamics (i.e., write-off, recoveries, disposals, flows etc.) with the goal of managing NPE stock in a clear, credible, and feasible manner.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The Group customer base is mixed and heterogeneous and is managed through segmentations which makes it possible to manage customers
competently through dedicated functions, as well as through tailored products/initiatives.
The recovery initiatives are supported by a combined approach between subjective assessments and automated processes.
Depending on the strategy and organizational set-up implemented locally by the Legal Entities, Group collection rules stipulate an early transfer of
files/clients to specialised functions independently from, and long before, a possible default. This is done to anticipate and avoid defaults through a
relationship management framework committed to proactive risk management.
To allow proactive risk management and the related reduction of a client’s existing exposure, Legal Entities may grant forbearance measures as
described in the relevant section. The main objective of this activity is to protect the economic and financial structure of the borrowers. In the
forbearance context, the restructuring can be conducted in a Performing or Non-Performing classification according to the related Regulatory
Framework ruling the loan classification.
The co-operation of clients is a pre-condition to any restructuring activity. Close and direct interaction with the borrower, as well as with other
parties/stakeholders involved, is crucial for the success of the restructuring process. UniCredit acts in line with its Code of Conduct, adopting
appropriate behavior and language in order to build and maintain a relationship of trust with the customer (e.g., use of non-coercive language and a
non-harassment attitude). For this reason, the relationship with the borrower is assigned to specialised functions which maintain the responsibility of
the borrower as long as the restructuring is in place. In case the credit restructuring activities are not feasible or successful, or there is no
improvement of the client risk profile, Workout activities aim at maximizing the credit recovery, and the credit exposure must be classified in the
relevant default status, if not already done. These activities are carefully devised to ensure that the relationships fostered with clients are maintained
to the best extent possible.
Recovery activities at UniCredit are carried out in compliance with EBA guidelines on the management of credit impaired and forborne exposures.
Credit strategies
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 Group company 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 particularly important. 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 "core" operation of the Group. In compliance with the relevant regulatory
framework, UniCredit group manages the concentration credit risk 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 relating to expected loss are an integrated part of the definition of credit strategies.
Effects arising from Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to credit risk, UniCredit has positively seen all the initiatives aimed at supporting the real economy that have been put in place by the
EU government and has complemented them with additional measures to support customers and to reduce as much as possible the negative
effects of this crisis. All concessions have been 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 has been 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 have been different in each country in terms of
scope of customers and product types, typically allowing the postponement of instalments and the increase in the residual maturity of credit
exposures.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Among these initiatives, a number of moratoriums specifically have met the definition of “General Payment” (either legislative or assimilated non-
legislative ones) in line with “Guidelines on legislative and non-legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis”62
(issued by EBA in April 2020 and further 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 had 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.
Based on the “EBA/GL/2020/02” the Group Guidelines defined by the Parent company addressed all legal entities on regulatory treatment for the
above-mentioned Moratoria and Guarantee Schemes.
Specifically, different regulatory treatments were allowed with respect to Forbearance measures as well as Default detection, particularly from the
point of view of the Unlikely To Pay (“UTP” - Unlikely To Pay) assessment. In particular, General Payment moratoriums granting, in line with the EBA
requirements, did not automatically activate a classification of forbearance, however a specific assessment was aimed at verifying the financial
difficulty; in that case the UTP assessment had to be applied both during the moratorium period and shortly after its end. In this regard, the updates
of the guidelines provided by EBA in December 2020, extended to 31 March 2021, the date by which a legislative and assimilated non-legislative
one should be applied and considered as a "General Payment" and introduced a cumulative maximum limit of 9 months to the benefit from the
moratoriums granted or extended after 30 September 2020. After this period, the usual forbearance and financial difficulty assessment process has
been applied as other moratorium initiatives that were not in line with the specific EBA requirements (e.g., other early moratorium initiatives granted
by the Bank): in that case, the financial difficulty was assessed at the time of the concession and after its end.
The guidelines established regarding the treatment of Moratorium General Payment for Forbearance and Default classification purposes had to be
considered valid for the entire duration of the Covid-19 moratoriums, including their extension.
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 number of transactions, or of one or more large
transactions, 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
The credit risk management in the UniCredit group is under responsibility of Group Risk Management, and is responsible for steering, governance,
control of credit risk and for the operational credit management, which internally have different organisational levels:
• functions with responsibilities at Group level;
• functions with responsibilities at Country level.
62 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.

2.2 Credit risk management, measurement and control
2.2.1 Credit risk management
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 behavior within the entity or the banking system (e.g. Centrale dei Rischi of Banca d’Italia), 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 on the basis of the new information acquired. Each borrower is also assessed in the
context of the belonging economic group 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 in
order 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.
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.

2.2.2 Risk parameters
Besides the methodologies summarised in the rating systems, the Group Risk Management function leverages on portfolio model enabled to
measure credit risk for Basel Pillar 2 purposes on an aggregated basis and to identify the contribution of single sub-portfolio or obligor to the overall
risk.
There are two 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”).
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 TTC (Loss Given Default Through the Cycle) and EAD (Exposure at Default) for transactions related 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.
Within the Credit VaR framework, the Expected Loss ("EL") at portfolio level is defined as the sum of the product of PD, LGD (both TTC) and EAD
for each obligor in the considered portfolio plus a migration risk charge related to the expected creditworthiness deterioration for the most liquid
exposures classified at amortised cost.
The Value at Risk (“VaR”) represents the monetary threshold of the losses distribution 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 Economic Capital set up to cover potential losses from all the sources of risk (Reference is made
to paragraph “Other risks included in Economic Capital”, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging
policies, Section 2.6 Other risks).
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.
The internal Credit VaR model is also subject to assessment in the context of 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).
2.2.3 Rating systems
In order to determine capital requirements for credit risks, UniCredit group uses the IRB Advanced approach, as stated by Banca d’Italia act
No.365138 dated 28 March 2008.
With specific 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 S.p.A.), 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, UniCredit Banka Slovenija d.d., UniCredit
Bulbank AD, UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s., UniCredit Bank Hungary Zrt., UniCredit Bank (SA) Romania and AO UniCredit Bank
in Russia. In October 2021, UniCredit Leasing GMBH and Subsidiaries have been authorized to revert to the use of the Standardised Approach
(Permanent Partial Use) for all former AIRB portfolios. From 1 November 2021, UniCredit Bank Ireland plc. was merged in UCI S.p.A. and for
exposures coming from UniCredit Bank Ireland plc. the RWA calculation approaches authorised in UCI S.p.A. were adopted.
The following table summarises the rating systems used by the Group with an indication of the related relevant asset class and the entities where
they are used. Further details on rating models are present in paragraph use of the IRB approach, Credit risk, of UniCredit Group Disclosure (Pillar
III).

2.2.4 Stress test
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 directly stressing 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
2.3.1 Staging Allocation and Expected Credit Losses Calculation
The Credit Risk Management, Measurement and Control processes described in the previous paragraph, are also used 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.
Stage allocation - General framework
In the UniCredit group, the Stage allocation is based on the application of qualitative and quantitative components.
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 terms of maximum variation acceptable between the PD measure at the disbursement and the one
at the reference date; indeed, the definition of the quantile 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 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 based on 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.
In more detail among the others qualitative and quantitative elements to be assessed, the following are worth to be outlined:
• comparison, on a transaction basis, between the PD as of origination date, and the PD as of the reporting date, both calculated according to the
internal models and based on a Lifetime view; the thresholds consider all the key variables that can affect the bank's expectation about PD
changes over time (e.g., ageing of the credit exposures, residual maturity, PD level at the time of first origination). In the comparison between
Lifetime PDs as of origination and reporting dates, beside considering the specific current and forward-looking conditions as a key element
affecting the PD comparison, also the repayment structure (specifically bullet/balloon compared to amortizing loans) is taken into consideration in
the PD comparison, in order to factor-in higher riskiness of financial instruments with significant repayment at maturity, where the risk of a default
occurring may not necessarily decrease as time passes63;
• further quantitative criteria, in order to support the timely detection of the Significant Increase in Credit Risk, namely:
- threefold increase in lifetime PD - Stage 2 classification is triggered in case the Lifetime PD at the reporting date results higher than three times
the one at the inception date of the financial instruments, in line with Supervisory expectations;
- adoption of a threshold value of Basel PD equal or higher than 20% as a Stage 2 criterion - such threshold, adopted considering the benchmark
value retrievable within the ECB Asset Quality Review Manual, has the aim to identify financial instruments that, with little room for interpretation,
have registered a significant increase of credit risk since inception date and with high risk of migration to default;
• absolute elements, such as the backstops required by law (e.g., 30 days past-due): in this case, the Group has chosen not to reject the significant
deterioration presumption after 30 days past-due by allocating in Stage 2 transactions with more than 30 days past due;
• additional internal assessment, also including renegotiations of financial instruments due to financial difficulties met by the counterparty (e.g.,
Forborne classification) and certain kinds of credit monitoring watchlist classifications.
The 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. In this regard it is noted that in order to
achieve lower volatility in the migrations of the Stage classifications the following measures are in place:
• adoption of a 3-months period (so called “Probation Period”) for the reclassification to Stage 1 from Stage 2 in case of overcoming of the
quantitative and/or qualitative conditions underlying the Significant Increase in Credit Risk, stabilizing Staging migrations;
• full alignment of the Stage 2 classification to the Forborne Performing status, thus ensuring a minimum period of permanence for concessions to
clients in financial difficulty equal to the regulatory Probation Period. Such measure makes consistent the entrance/exit criteria to/from Stage 2 due
to Forborne Performing classification, avoiding potentially premature reverts to Stage 1 for obligors having yet significantly higher credit risk than
the ordinary performing portfolio.
63 In line with IFR9 Par. B5.5.11. In this regard, the Lifetime PD considered for bullet/balloon loans and used in the PD comparison for staging allocation is also consistently adopted for Expected Credit Loss calculation.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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), qualifiable as investment grade debt securities as well as loans on clients having a 1-
year IFRS9 PD lower than 0.3%64. Such a treatment of these types of exposure allows to stabilize staging 2 migrations, reducing volatility and
avoiding classification for customers characterized by a clearly low level of credit risk;
• 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). In particular, EBA65 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.
The result of the stage allocation affects the amount of expected credit losses recognised in financial statements (ref. to the next caption). 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.
Expected credit loss calculation - General framework
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 to guarantee full
consistency, however respecting the different requirements between accounting and regulatory treatment. The main adjustments are aimed at:
• removing the conservativism required for regulatory purposes;
• introducing “point in time” adjustments which replace 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 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, is 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.
64 Such threshold, in addition to be a supervisory benchmark retrievable from ECB Asset Quality Review Manual, is also consistent with an Investment Grade equivalent level of risk.
65The regulatory framework for the new definition of default has been integrated with the entry into force, starting from 1 January 2021 of the "Guidelines on the application of the definition of default under article 178 of (EU)
Regulation 575/2013 "(EBA/GL/2016/07).

Part E - Information on risks and related 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.
Expected credit loss calculation - overlays applied as at 31 December 2022
As of 31 December 2022, it should be mentioned that, in addition to the specific measures adopted following up the Russia - Ukraine crises outbreak
(see related Section), further overlays with impact on loan loss provisions’ recognition were taken in selected geographies.
Indeed, it is worth noting that the measurement of Loan Loss Provisions as of 31 December 2022 is affected by the activities for material changes in
IRB Models for PD and LGD calculation as well as for ECB Supervisory expectations inclusion, in coherence with the EBA “Guidelines on PD
estimation, LGD estimation and the treatment of defaulted exposures”66 and ECB Guidelines on internal models. Specifically, such activities are
related to: i) LGD model for Global Project Finance transactions applied across the Group; ii) LGD Model in Austrian perimeter; iii) PD Models in
Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria geographies. Despite the material model changes will go live in 2023 or later according to the approval
timeline of the European Central Bank, the Group, as of 31 December 2022, was already aware of the effects resulting from model enhancements in
term of PD and LGD increase on the credit risk of customers; thus, according to IFRS9, the related effects were coherently recognised as of 31
December 2022.
As of 31 December 2022, the model changes led to recognise net write-downs for an overall value of -€48 million, almost entirely attributable to the
Loan portfolio.
Furthermore, Group IFRS9 methodological framework has been evolving in order to consider for bullet/balloon portfolios the peculiar elements of
risks, namely the significant loan payment close to maturity and the re-financing risk of these exposures; these elements determine the credit risk to
increase as these exposures are closer to maturity. Although the new methodology will punctually enter into force during 2023, the Group, as of 31
December 2022, is already aware of the related effects. Consequently, a specific post model adjustment has been recognized on bullet/balloon
portfolios at Group level, with an overall impact of -€322 million additional LLP entirely attributable to Loan portfolio.
2.3.2 Non-performing exposures
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 are calculated on an individual basis for “individually significant exposures”.
Expected cash flows on already defaulted exposures that are not individually significant are calculated either on an individual or a collective basis.
Where a Legal Entity has several individually significant exposures towards one single counterparty, each loan is individually assessed while also
considering the overall position of the counterparty.
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.
66 EBA/GL/2017/16. The guideline was issued by the European Banking Authority (EBA) to reduce unjustified variability of risk parameters and own funds requirements, and it is part of a broader review of Internal Ratings-
Based (IRB) approach carried out by the EBA.

2.3.3 Selling scenarios
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.
In line with the new strategy to maximize the non-performing portfolio through all possible levers, during 2022 deleveraging actions on positions with
low recovery expectations have been launched for total GBV, as at 31 December 2022, of €3.9 billion, of which 1.4 evaluated in selling scenario.
The residual perimeter under IFRS9 “selling scenario” evaluation approach at 31 December 2022 is €507 million. With reference to the credit
exposures evaluated with the selling scenario as at 31 December 2022, the prices and probabilities of default were updated in respect of those
applied as at 31 December 2021, leading to LLPs release for €19 million.
2.3.4 Scenarios and Sensitivity
In line with the IFRS9 standard and group internal regulation, the IFRS9 parameters have been calibrated considering updated macro-economic
scenarios as of 4Q2022.
Specifically, the Group selected two macroeconomic scenarios to determine the forward-looking component of expected losses (ECL):
• Baseline scenario (Mild Recession), which macro-economic assumptions are in line with those embedded in the “Mild Recession” used for the
measurement of deferred tax assets (DTA). It represents the reference central scenario with the most probability of realization (60%);
• Adverse scenario (Severe Recession) represents a possible alternative in terms of macro-economic evolution with a lower probability of realization
vis-à-vis the baseline (40%).
For a description of main assumptions behind “baseline” and “adverse” scenarios and related probability realization, refer to Section 2 - General
preparation criteria, Notes to the consolidated account, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General.
Compared to the “Mild Recession” used with regard to the deferred tax assets impairment test, for IFRS9 purposes the forecast on interest rates
have been upward revised in line with the announced ECB monetary policy and market evolution. The ECB Refi Rate is assumed to further rise by
30 bps (vs end-of-year levels of 250bps) in 2023 and to gradually reduce afterwards in 2024 and 2025. The same assumptions are kept for the
Adverse Scenario.
Besides the update of macroeconomic scenario, the default rates and recovery rates - underlying IFRS9 PD and LGD calibration - have been
updated accordingly, In line with ordinary process.
The update of the macro-economic scenarios under the rules reported above has determined in the fourth quarter of 2022 the recognition of
additional impairment for €184 million which include the worsening of the economic outlook for 2023-25 partially mitigated by a growth for the
second half of 2022 better than expected, leading to a cumulated impact (including the one resulting from update of macro-economic scenario in the
second quarter) over the full year 2022 equal to additional impairment for €/535 million, with the following break-down by geography;
• Germany: €277 million of write-downs (of which €126 million in the fourth quarter 2022);
• Central & Eastern Europe (excluding Russia): €323 million of write-downs (of which €158 million in the fourth quarter 2022);
• Russia: €90 million of write-downs over full year 2022. Such impact considers the anticipated update of macroeconomic scenario for Russia in the
first quarter 2022, which resulted in approximately €112 million of additional LLP and the update in the first half of 2022, counting for approximately
€56 million of write-downs. In the fourth quarter 2022, the update of macro-economic scenario has led to a partial reduction of initially booked loan
loss provisions for approximately €78 million of write-backs;
• Italy: €155 million of total net write-backs (of which €22 million in the fourth quarter) to which UniCredit S.p.A. contributes for €166 million of net
write-backs (of which €25 million in the fourth quarter 2022). The full year 2022 impact includes €490 million LLPs releases (occurred in June
2022), related to performing and non-performing exposures, due to “unfreezing” of scenario for Retail perimeter. More precisely, the Italian labor
market variables (Wages, Unemployment Rate, Disposable Income and House Price Index) have been updated in June 2022 with respect to the
fourth quarter 2021 where forecast were frozen at the fourth quarter 2020. This intervention was needed in order to sterilize the rebound observed
in 2021 due to the government relief aimed at providing economic recovery (such as layoff freezing). The Retail scenario “unfreezing” has more
than compensated the pure worsening of scenario update (counting for approximately -€349 million of loan loss provisions in June 2022).

Sensitivity of Expected Credit Losses (ECL)
The sensitivity of IFRS9 ECL to scenarios change is estimated by comparing the ECL calculated alternatively weighting at 100% the adverse and
baseline scenarios.
In details, with respect to the baseline, the ECL would increase by about 12% (14% for UniCredit S.p.A.) equivalent to around €630 million (of which
€190 million for UniCredit S.p.A.) in the negative scenario.
Moreover, a sensitivity to GDP variations embedded in the different scenarios was also estimated as the ratio of:
• the difference between ECL estimated under the alternative and the baseline scenario;
• the GDP points deviations (on 3 years cumulative basis) between alternative and baseline scenario 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.).
Considering the current IFRS9 scenarios (baseline and adverse), the ECL at Group level is estimated to increase by +3% (+4% for UniCredit S.p.A.)
for 1 point of GDP drop (cumulated over 3 years).
2.3.5 Changes due to Covid-19 - Assessment of the Significant Increase of the Credit Risk (SICR)
In the fourth quarter 2022, the elements of risk connected to previous Covid-19 pandemic can be considered as substantially overcome in light of the
new potential downside risk stemming from spill-over effects of Russia-Ukraine crises outbreak (see related Section). Accordingly, at the end of
2022, the overlays, primarily related to the “cliff-effect” of default risk applied on IFRS9 scenario as well as the Significant Increase of the Credit Risk
collective measures, both driven by the potential delayed materialization of losses as a consequence of Covid-19 relief measures, have been
overcome in light of:
• inclusion of full realization of most recent default rate in the IFRS9 calibration, thus incorporating (if any) potential delayed defaults;
• full expiration of Covid-19 relief measures, thus not making anymore relevant the proactive staging measures adopted in the context of pandemic
crises.
Consequently, the new context has not made anymore necessary to keep in place the measures, introduced since 2020, due to Covid-19.

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, consistently with the
“Revised Framework of International Convergence of Capital Measures and Rules” (Basel) on the subject of Credit Risk Mitigation techniques
(hereafter “CRM”).
Moreover, 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)”, and with the adjustments to the EBA guidelines (EBA/GL/2020/05), entered in force
in 2022, UniCredit group is firmly committed to satisfy the requirements for recognition of CRM techniques, according to the different approaches
adopted (Standardised, Foundation IRB (F-IRB) or Advanced IRB (IRB-A)), 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.
Such Guidelines pursue several objectives:
• to encourage collateral and guarantees optimal management;
• to maximize the mitigating effect of collateral and guarantees on defaulted loans;
• to attain positive effect on Group capital requirements, ensuring that local CRM practices meet minimum requirements provided in CRR.
Moreover, 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, to assess the presence of adequate documentation and procedure concerning the credit
risk mitigation instruments used for supervisory capital.
Credit risk mitigation instruments can be accepted only to support loans and cannot serve as a substitute for the borrower’s ability to meet its
obligations. For this reason, they have to be evaluated and analysed in the credit application along with the assessment of the creditworthiness,
emphasizing the importance of the “legal certainty” requirement for all collaterals and guarantees, as well as their suitability, in addition to the overall
analysis of the borrowers’ credit worthiness and of his repayment capacity, with the aim to verify their viability to support the repayment of the
exposure.
Legal Entities shall put in place all necessary actions to:
• fulfill the respect of any contractual and legal requirements, and take all steps necessary to ensure the enforceability of the collateral/guarantee
arrangements under the applicable law;
• carry out sufficient legal reviews confirming the enforceability of the collateral/guarantee arrangements on the parties and in the relevant
jurisdictions.
Legal Entities conduct such review, as applicable, to ensure enforceability and suitability for the entire term of the underlying collateralized credit
exposure. Any collateral/guarantee can be considered adequate if it is consistent with the underlying credit exposure and, for personal guarantees,
when there are no relevant risks towards the protection provider.
Collateral management assessments and Credit Risk Mitigation compliance verifications on the risk mitigations techniques are performed by the
Legal Entities, specifically as part of the wider process of internal validation on rating systems and of IRB methods roll-out activities on Group Legal
Entities.

Part E - Information on risks and related 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.
Policies and processes for, and an indication of the extent to which the Group makes use of, on - and off - balance sheet netting
In general, netting agreements on balance sheet of reciprocal credit exposures between the Bank and its counterparty are considered eligible 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 so that a single net amount is owed by one party
to the other;
• fulfil the minimum requirements for recognition of financial collateral (valuation requirements and monitoring).
In general, 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.
UniCredit group makes use of netting instruments mainly for OTC derivatives, repos and securities lending transactions where the counterparties
are, generally, Corporate and Financial Institutions. The primary objective of the bank is to cover with netting agreements as many as possible
transactions in order to reduce utilization of credit lines and to release the amount of required regulatory capital. In this regard, a special policy
(“Global Policy - Counterparty Credit Risk Governance") has been issued aiming at defining an efficient and comprehensive framework for collateral
management to safeguard the bank from avoidable risk-taking.
The effectiveness of a collateral agreement of each individual counterparty relationship depends on the selection of appropriate assets qualifying as
eligible collateral. Certain collateral types may present inherent risks related to the price volatility, the liquidity, and the settlement of the asset. In
addition, the collateral assets must be assessed in the context of the collateral providing counterparty (double default risk). Based on the guidelines
of the above-mentioned policy, details on the eligibility criteria have been outlined for both OTC derivatives and Repo/securities Lending
Transactions, and the requirements in terms of documentations have been defined, requiring, as a general base, market standard agreements such
as ISDA Master Agreement, Global Master Repurchase Agreement or European Master Agreement.
Description of the main types of collateral taken by the Group Entities and related policies and processes for the evaluation
The collateral accepted in support of credit lines granted by the Group’s Legal Entities, primarily includes:
• real estate collateral, 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 are envisaged, including life insurance policies and pledged goods or pledged loans (the latter are less common).
However, in order to be considered eligible for risk mitigation, the general requirements according to Supervisory Regulations must be met, along
with the specific requirements for the approach adopted for purposes of calculating regulatory capital for the individual counterparty/exposure
(Standardized, F-IRB, A-IRB), in accordance with the legal framework of the country in scope.
The Parent Company provides specific guidelines for the eligibility of all kinds of collaterals and each legal entity shall define the list of eligible
collateral, according to Group methods and procedures and in compliance with local legal and supervisory requirements and peculiarities.
UniCredit group has implemented a clear and robust system for managing the credit risk mitigation techniques, governing the entire process for
evaluation, monitoring and management of collaterals.
The assessment of the collateral value is based on the current market price or the estimated amount which the underlying asset could reasonably be
liquidated for (i.e., pledged financial instrument or mortgaged real estate fair value).
For financial instruments, valuation methods are different depending on their typology:
• securities listed on a recognized stock exchange, are evaluated according to the market price (the price of the most recent trading session);
• securities not listed on a recognized stock exchange, have to be evaluated based on pricing models based on market data;
• undertakings for Collective Investments and mutual funds are based on the price for the units that are publicly quoted daily.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The market price of pledged securities is adjusted by applying haircuts for market price and/or foreign exchange volatility, according to regulatory
requirements.
In case of currency mismatch between the credit facility and the collateral, an additional haircut is applied.
Possible mismatches between the maturity of the exposure and that of the collateral are also considered in the adjusted collateral value.
The current models in place within the Group are based both on pre-defined prudential haircuts and internally estimated haircuts.
The methodological approach provides that the hedging value has to be estimated for each financial instrument on the basis of its market value (so-
called mark-to-market) adjusted with a haircut that has to consider the intrinsic riskiness according to the different factors (price risk, time of
ownership and liquidity risk).
The main legal entities of the Group are also provided with tools for the automatic evaluation of the mark-to-market of the pledged securities,
granting the constant monitoring of the financial collateral values.
For the valuation of real estate collateral, specific processes and procedures ensure that the property is evaluated by an independent appraiser at a
value not exceeding the market value.
With reference to the main Group legal entities (i.e., those operating in Austria, Germany, and Italy) systems are also in place for the periodic
monitoring and revaluation of the real estate collateral, based on statistical methods, adopting internal databases or provided by external info-
providers.
Other types of collateral (such as a pledge of movable assets) are subject to specific prudential haircuts. Monitoring activities strictly depend on the
collateral characteristics. In general pledges on goods are treated with caution.
Main types of guarantors and credit derivative counterparties and their creditworthiness
The use of guarantees 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. Less frequently, the risk of default is covered by personal guarantees provided by other legal entities (usually the Parent company or other
companies belonging to the same economic group as the borrower), or by financial institutions and insurance companies.
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.
Before a personal guarantee is accepted, the protection provider (or the protection seller in case of credit default swap) must be assessed to
measure his/her creditworthiness and risk profile. The hedging effect of guarantees/credit derivatives for the purpose of credit protection depends
basically on the creditworthiness of the protection provider which is assessed during the credit underwriting phase.
Information about market or credit risk concentrations under the credit risk mitigation instruments used
Among risks valuation 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 protection providers or sectors or
when there is lack of proportion in the volume of collaterals taken.
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. This definition of non-performing exposures complements the definition of “default”
exposures, disciplined by EBA Guidelines on default definition in line with article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament
and of the Council (EBA/GL/2016/07) in force since 1 January 2021, and “impaired” exposures defined by IFRS9 Accounting Standards. A
substantial alignment within the Group has been pursued between the three definitions, providing the Supervisory Authorities with a harmonized
view of these concepts, and strengthening the tools available to the Authorities for assessing the asset quality.
The default classification criteria in force since 1 January 2021 include, among the main aspects, harmonized thresholds at European level for past
due materiality and additional Unlikely to Pay triggers further regulated by EBA/GL/2016/07 with respect to the high-level provisions of article 178 of
Reg EU 575/2013. In this regard, it is highlighted the Distressed Restructuring for credit obligation object of concession, where a maximum threshold
for decreasing the Net Present Value of 1% has been set, as well as specific requirements on the contagion effects of default in the case of
connected customers (mainly, groups of companies, joint headings between individuals and links between individuals and companies with unlimited
liability). In addition, a mandatory minimum probation period before returning to the non-defaulted status has been defined.
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Banca d’Italia in Circular 272/2008, non-performing 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-performing67 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.
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.
67The 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.

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 restructuring activity, supported by internal qualified resources or external advisors 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
leveraging on specialised partners for managing distressed 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 2022, highlighting:
• write-off for €724 million;
• recoveries of €3,362 million;
• total non-performing loans sold for €4,754 million.
The decrease amount of the stock of impaired loans to Group customers was therefore in line with the reduction targets set within the new strategic
plan “UniCredit Unlocked”, achieving an improvement in asset quality with the NPE ratio at 2.7% (-105bps and -28.2% compared to 2021 end of
year ratio). This result was possible thanks also to several disposal operations carried on during the year together with 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 CROs 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 Management)
and a proactive management of the NPE portfolio (through “NPE Portfolio Strategy & Steering” function).
In 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 Group’s legal entities the aforementioned activities can be managed within either the Monitoring, or Restructuring or Workout units.
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 Workout and/or Restructuring activitisy are also implemented by leveraging on service agreements with external
agencies.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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 Group NPE (Group Distressed Asset Management), 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 and the steering of NPE portfolio across the Group of real estate guarantees is coordinated at Holding level by a
dedicated department (NPE Portfolio Strategy & Steering), which defines common KPI and methodologies, monitor portfolios evolution and
oversees idefication of NPE strategies aming at value maximization through all levers.
Beyond the operational responsibilities in the non-performing exposures management, from a governance and strategic coordination standpoint a
framework which foresees periodic alignments with top management and sharing of the NPE strategies in official committees and also between the
Holding company and the other Group companies 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.
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 categorization practices for supervisory and reporting purposes, adopting the
Default definition as the basis for the provision’s 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 evidence, 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.
Specifically, for UniCredit group perimeter, Write-offs on financial assets still subject to an enforcement procedure amount to €9,162 million as of 31
December 2022, of which partial write-offs amount to €1,057 million and total write-offs amount to €8,106 million. The amount of write-offs (both
partial and total) related to the 2022 financial year is €392 million. 2022 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. Consequently, every
purchase of credit assets of Non Performing obligors or significant new origination done on obligors already in Non-Performing status, considering
the full alignment between impaired status and Non-Performing one, shall be considered as POCI Assets (though, in general, POCI classification is
the result of the restructuring of impaired exposures which has led to the provision of significant new finance, either in absolute or in relative terms,
compared with the among 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”, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 -
Risk of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit risk, Qualitative information, 2. Credit risk management policies.
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 paragraph
A.2 - Main items of the accounts. Notes to the consolidated account, Part A - Accounting policies.
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 exists, 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.
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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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;
• extension of financial difficulty criteria to better capture significant increase in credit risk deterioration and to be more sensitive to credit monitoring
managerial evidence;
• collection and monitoring of the relevant information within FinRep Reporting with disclosure on:
- performing and non-performing portfolio;
- guarantees;
- default inflows and outflows;
- list of the FBE Measures granted.
Furthermore, in the context of Covid-19 Pandemic, Group Guidelines had been timely distributed to the legal entities providing specific indications on
the treatment of the legislative moratoria and banking initiatives in terms of Forbearance Classification in line with “Guidelines on legislative and non-
legislative moratoria on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid-19 crisis issued68” by European Banking Authority; for details refer to the
paragraph General Aspects, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the
prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1. Credit Risk.
With reference to the monitoring and reporting activity on forborne exposures, on 31 December 2022, at the Group level, the number of instruments
(loans and advances at amortized cost) with forbearance measures amounts to 150,345 (109,183 for UniCredit S.p.A. perimeter).
Specifically, on a consolidated level:
• forbearance measures granted during the period represent 16% of the total (14% considering only UniCredit S.p.A.);
• forbearance measures granted on the performing portfolio represent the 64% of the total (68% 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 amortized 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, 82% of forborne performing exposures has a vintage of classification less or equal to 24 months,
slightly higher with reference to UniCredit S.p.A. portfolio (85%). In terms of forborne non-performing loans, 50% of consolidated exposures fall
within a classification vintage less or equal 24 months (37% for UniCredit S.p.A. portfolio).
68 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”).

On-balance sheet exposures to banks include all balance-sheet assets regardless of their belonging portfolio (held-for-trading, assets designed and
mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, assets at amortised cost and assets held
for sale). In more details columns Stage1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired financial assets include assets at
amortized cost, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, current accounts and demand deposits with Banks and Central Banks and
assets held for sale; the overall gross exposures also report held-for-trading, assets designed and mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss.
Off-balance sheet exposures to banks comprise guarantees given, irrevocable commitments, derivatives regardless of each transaction’s
classification category and the revocable commitments to disburse funds.

On-balance sheet exposures to customers include all balance-sheet assets regardless of their belonging portfolio (held-for-trading, assets designed
and mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, assets at amortised cost and assets
held for sale). In more details columns Stage1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired financial assets include assets at
amortized cost, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and assets held for sale; the overall gross exposures also report held-for-
trading, assets designed and mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss.
Off-balance sheet exposures to customers comprise guarantees given, irrevocable commitments, derivatives regardless of each transaction’s
classification category and the revocable commitments to disburse funds.
The total amount, on-balance and off-balance sheet, of forborne exposures (including those belonging to disposal groups/held for sale) is €16.3
billion (€6.3 billion non-performing and €10 billion performing). These exposures refer for 62% to the Italian perimeter, while the remaining amount
mainly refers to Germany for 13% and to Austria for the 9%.
For a description of the rules for identification of forborne exposures refer to paragraph “4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and
forborne exposures”, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the
prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1 Credit Risk, Qualitative information.
On-balance sheet impaired gross exposures connected to the proposals for recourse to an arrangement with creditors made by the debtor
amounted to a total of €412 million as at 31 December 2022, against which specific impairments have been made for €260 million, with a total
coverage level of 63%.

The table details on- and off-balance sheet credits granted to counterparties rated by external rating. The rating agencies provide brief assessments
of the creditworthiness of different classes of borrowers such as Countries, 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 related hedging policies
The 91,4% 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 70,1% 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, Countries) or bank-specific, by
segment (e.g. retail or corporate).
In 2022, the Group master-scale was upgraded, homogenizing the different rating scales of the internal models. There are 9 rating classes, based
on Probability of default (Probability of Default - PD).
52,9% of internally rated exposures were investment grade (classes 1 to 3), while exposures towards unrated counterparties were 14,7% 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 Banka Slovenija
dd, UniCredit Bulbank AD, UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a.s., UniCredit Bank Hungary, UniCredit Bank Romania a.s. and AO
UniCredit Bank in Russia.

The table refers to large exposures as defined by Regulation ((UE) n.575/2013 (CRR) and n.876/2019 (CRR2).
It is worth mentioning that both the amounts shown in letter a), b), and the number in letter c) in the table above include the exposure towards the
Central Government only one time, differently from the requirement in Art.4.1 39 of Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (CRR), which envisages that 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 repeatedly reported for each group of connected clients in the regulatory reporting.
It should be noted that deferred tax assets towards 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 Group69.
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 (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 securitisation is instrumental to
the deleveraging and assets transfer.
The Group carries out both traditional securitisations whereby the receivables portfolio is sold to the SPV, as described above, 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 of the cash flows deriving from maintenance of the excess rewards of the
portfolio and of the first loss risk, 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.
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/or the related significant risk transfer, by subscribing a limited portion of securities issued by vehicles of securitisation or
keeping a minimum percentage of the portfolio, in compliance with the rules for maintaining a net economic interest in the securitisation transaction
according to the current regulatory requirements (Retention Rule).
69 The legislation also foresees other securitisation structures in which the proceeds deriving from the issue of a single class or classes of securities (or from other alternative forms of funding, such as through the taking of
deposits), are used by the vehicle for the granting of a loan to the Originator of the assets; in any case, however, the repayment of the loan is guaranteed by the proceeds of the same assets, which are returned to the
vehicle.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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 traditional 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.
The assessment process on the realisation of securitisation transactions is 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 this
paragraph (C. Securitisation transactions), as required by regulations.
Developments of the period
During 2022, the Group carried out various traditional and synthetic securitisation transactions with the aim of optimizing risk-weighted assets and
improving the related ROAC in line with the provisions of the 2022-2024 UniCredit Unlocked plan.
Anyway, the Group makes limited use of this type of transactions. The amount of securitised loans70, net of the transactions in which the Group has
acquired all the liabilities issued by the SPVs (the so-called self-securitisations), accounts for 2.45% of the Group’s credit portfolio. Self-
securitisations in turn account for 4.69% of the loan portfolio.
During 2022 the Group carried out 11 new transactions, of which 5 traditional and 6 synthetic ones:
• PEVA (A.R.T.S. Large Corporate S.r.l.) - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Panthers (Altea SPV S.r.l.) - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Itaca - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Consumer IV - traditional (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Rosenkavalier 2022 - traditional (self-securitisation - originator UniCredit Bank AG);
• A.R.T.S. Large Corporate 2022 - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• A.R.T.S. MidCap 2022 - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• A.R.T.S. Re.Mo. 2022 - 1 - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• A.R.T.S. Re.Mo. 2022 - 2 - synthetic (originator UniCredit S.p.A.);
• Tucherpark 2022 - synthetic (originator UniCredit Bank AG);
• Bulbank Synthetic 2022 - synthetic (originator UniCredit Bulbank AD).
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.
70 It refers to loans sold, also synthetically, but not derecognised from balance sheet.
412 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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.
The conduits’ purchase of assets is financed by short-term commercial paper and Medium Term Note (MTN) 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 €904 million as at December 2022 from €1,205 million as at December 2021 was due to
the natural development of the transactions only partially offset by the new traditional transaction Consumer IV.
Moreover, the increase in balance-sheet net exposures concerning synthetic transactions from €4,041 million in December 2021 to €11,759 million
in December 2022 was due to six new transactions called A.R.T.S. Large Corporate 2022, A.R.T.S. MidCap 2022, A.R.T.S. Re.Mo. 2022 - 1,
A.R.T.S. Re.Mo. 2022 - 2, Tucherpark 2022 and Bulbank Synthetic 2022 in addition to the natural development of the other synthetic transactions.
Finally, it should be noted that:
• the net balance-sheet exposure totally derecognised refers to the securitisations of FINO Project, to the traditional securitisations Prisma, Relais
2020, Olympia and to the new traditional securitisations PEVA, Panthers and Itaca, 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 €6,060 million (€7,396 million as at
31 December 2021), broken down into asset backed commercial paper and loans for €3,451 million and undrawn credit lines for €2,609 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 and loans
underwritten by the Group. This figure is the additional risk exposure incurred by the Group in addition to the underwritten commercial paper and
loans.
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

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”.

part is constituted by loans.
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.

B. Financial assets sold and fully derecognised with recognition of continuous involvement
Qualitative and quantitative information
At the end of the year there were no disposals of financial assets that had been fully derecognised, which required the recognition of continuing
involvement.
C. Financial assets sold and fully derecognised
Quantitative information
As at 31 December 2022, UniCredit group holds asset-backed securities and units in investment funds acquired following the sale of financial assets
fully derecognised, carried out in 2022 and in previous years.
These transactions involved the sale of financial assets, consisting of loans both performing and non-performing, by the originator companies of the
Group to securitisation vehicles or investment funds and their derecognition from the financial statements pursuant to IFRS9, following the
assessment that the originator itself has substantially transferred the risks and benefits of the assets sold and at the same time has not maintained
any control over the same assets.
Instead of these derecognised assets, the asset-backed securities or the units in investment funds received in the same transactions were
recognized among the Financial assets.
For further information on each transaction carried out in the 2022 and also in the previous years, refer to “Annex 3 - Securitizations - qualitative
tables” and “Annex 4 - Sales of financial assets to investment funds, receiving as consideration units issued by the same funds - qualitative tables”.

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 method71 of reimbursement and is rated by
Fitch (AA), S&P (AA-), Moody’s (Aa3).
The second programme, guaranteed by UniCredit OBG S.r.l., previously characterised by a Conditional Pass-Through method72 of reimbursement,
subsequently to contractual amendments finalized in May 2022, is currently characterised by a Soft Bullet method1 of repayment 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 covered bonds as a means of increasing the Group’s counterbalancing capacity by retaining with the Group
part of the securities issued.
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.
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 policy has been issued to this end.
The policy was 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.
As at 31 December 2022 the series of covered bonds issued under the two programmes totalled 24 and were worth €20,856 million, of which
€16,200 million was repurchased by UniCredit S.p.A.
71 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.
72 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.

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 Group Client Solutions
division - Group Client Risk Management, 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 transactions in OTC derivatives in order to provide non-institutional clients with products to
manage currency, interest-rate and price risks. Under these transactions, the commercial banks transfer their market risks to the Group Credit
Solutions 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 CE and EE Banks, which transact business directly with their customers.
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) with simulation techniques 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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: 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.

E. Prudential perimeter - Credit risk measurement models
As at 31 December 2022 the expected loss on the credit risk perimeter was 0.38% 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 2022, the ratio between credit economic capital (including a component to cover migration risk) and its relative credit exposure
amount is 2.27%.

2.2 Market risks
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, which
involve both the operations typical of the 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;
• 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 centers (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 macroeconomic scenario and related risks for the Group;
• Market Risk RAF KPIs;
• 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 "Group Market Risk Governance Guidelines", 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 "hedge-ability" 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;
• hedge-ability refers to positions for which a hedge could be put in place. The hedge-ability is meant to concern the "material" risks of a position
which implies not necessarily that all the various risk features are to be hedge-able.
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, for example gold, crude oil,
commodity prices volatility.
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 FVtOCI 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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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, Parent
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).
The Granular Market Limits must be consistent with limitations on Broad Market Risk measures.
To cover also Amortised Cost securities, the Market Risk Strategy defines 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 Treasury 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). To limit the impacts of the FX rates movements on the Capital ratios volatility, a RAF KPI on
Structural FX risk is set at Group level to identify an appropriate level of risk the Group is willing to maintain and thresholds that in case of breaches
require the activation of the proper escalation mechanisms. Group risk management strategy could envisage the steering of the FX risk exposure in
the LEs or the booking in the Holding of positions deliberately taken to hedge the Total capital ratio from FX volatility. On a yearly basis, this strategy
is presented to the relevant Group committees and approved by the BoD. The potential losses deriving from the implemented strategy is limited
through the market risk metrics.
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 Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee (GFRC) 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.
Within the management of Banking book interest rate the 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 exception 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. Daily, 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 prepayment rate 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 and UniCredit Bank Hungary ZRT.
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, the hedging strategy is built, consistently with the maturity profile approved by the GFRC 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 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 on 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 in charge of the UniCredit S.p.A. Foreign Branches are monitored and reported to the Group Chief Risk Officer and to the Top
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.
Finally, the structure is directly responsible for the approval and the oversight of the internal rule revision plan proposed by the Group Financial Risk
structure in charge of it.
The structure breaks down as follows:
GROUP FINANCIAL RISK
“Valuation Models and Methodologies & Market Risk Management”, responsible for developing and maintaining Group
methodologies, models, and architectures regarding financial risks and for providing adequate evaluation of financial
instruments of banking and trading book. In addition, it is responsible for governing and controlling market risk either at
Group and UniCredit S.p.A. level.
“Structured Entities and Counterparty Credit Risks”, responsible for governing and controlling 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),
structured entities risks and counterparty risks.
“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).
The relevant Committees of reference are:
• Group Financial and Credit Risks Committee (GFRC) - Market Risk session;
• Group Executive Committee (GEC) - Risk Session.
The “Group Financial and Credit Risks Committee (GFRC) - Market Risk session” meets monthly and is responsible for approving strategies,
policies and methodologies for Market Risks and for the monitoring of risks, with the aim to optimize the usage of financial resources (e.g., capital) in
coherence with Risk Appetite and Business Strategies. It is also responsible for evaluating the impact of transactions significantly affecting the
overall market risk portfolio profile.
The “Group Executive Committee (GEC) - Risk Session” which has approval as well as consulting and proposal functions, meets monthly and aims
at supporting the CEO in its role of steering, coordinating and monitoring all categories of risks (included compliance risk), managing and overseeing
the internal control system also at a Group level, as well as discussing and approving strategic risk topics such as Group Risk Appetite Framework,
ICAAP, ILAAP, SREP, key highlights from Internal Control Systems, NPE, ESG.

The Holding Company’s governing bodies delegate to the Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee (GFRC) the development of detailed internal
regulations with the goal of establishing an integrated and consistent IRRBB management framework within the Group with the goal of facilitating an
effective decision-making process and governance.
Local relevant committee of the liquidity reference banks (LRBs) or Legal Entities (LEs) (in accordance with local rules in force), within the scope of
their responsibilities and delegated powers, are responsible for implementing the IRRBB management framework established by GFRC, also
considering the peculiarities of each LRB or LEs and given the guidelines and indications of their respective governing bodies (both those
responsible for strategic supervision and management).
The GFRC is also responsible for the Group-wide monitoring of IRR within the broader perspective of market risk. Having regard to the overall
operations and risk exposures of the Group, it involves the Group Executive Committee (GEC) within its responsibilities and delegated powers.
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.
Risk measurement and reporting systems
Trading Book
In the second half of 2022, 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.
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 on 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 measure covers both the economic value and net interest income risk aspects. In particular, the different and
complementary perspectives involve:
• Economic Value: variations 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 is computed also for the regulatory scenarios (“Supervisory Outlier Test” described in EBA/GL/2018/02);
• Net Interest Income: the focus of the analysis is the impact of changes of interest rates on Net Interest Income. 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 Financial and Credit Risks 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 "Group Market Risk Governance Guidelines" which defines the nature of the various thresholds/limits applied, as well as the relevant bodies
to be involved establishing the most appropriate course of action to restore exposure within the approved limits.
A set of risk indicators is also provided to the Group Executive Committee (and subsequently to the Internal Control & Risk Committee and to the
BoD) on a quarterly basis through the Group Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and Integrated Risk Report (IRR), which includes Regulatory VaR,
Stressed VaR and IRC trend for Group and legal entities (UniCredit S.p.A., UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria AG, Centrale Europe and
Eastern Europe), Sovereign and non-Sovereign (ABS, Financials and Corporates) Exposure.
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
On a regular basis, at least quarterly, the relevant IRR exposure, complemented by the analysis of the compliance to the limits, must be reported to
Management bodies and internal committees. As a general principle, the compliance to the limits must be reported to Boards and committees
depending on their role in limit setting and it is proportionate to the severity hierarchy outlined in the previous section.
The Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee (GFRC) must be subject to reporting with respect to RAF KPIs and Overall Group and LRB
Granular Limits and Triggers with the same frequency of the committee’s meetings. The same reporting process must be implemented within LRBs
with respect to Local relevant committees (in accordance with local rules in force).
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 are 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 assets 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 extreme 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 monthly and are tailored to the portfolio of each legal entity of the Group, plus the Group itself that is relevant for
RWA calculation on a consolidated level. The SVaR window at Group level and for all the legal entities (UniCredit Bank AG, UniCredit Bank Austria
AG and UniCredit S.p.A. solo level) corresponds to the “Lehman Crisis” (2008-2009).
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, 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. Market, Operational & Pillar II
Risks 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 related 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, Credit Spread shocks are stressed and the impact on the IRC measure is
computed.
“Market, Operational & Pillar II Risks Validation” performed its analyses 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.
“Market, Operational & Pillar II Risks 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). Market, Operational & Pillar II Risks 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 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, Market, Operational & Pillar II Risks Validation also performed 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, the Group
legal entities within CEE countries are the ones that are mainly 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., which does 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.

Part E - Information on risks and related 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 several 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
After the sharp increase of both managerial and regulatory market risk metrics caused by the outbreak of Covid-19 during the first half of 2020, 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 utilization.
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.
The VaR and SVaR increasing trend observed during the third quarter of 2022 is mainly driven by market transactions primarily affecting Equity Risk
in the Trading book of UniCredit Bank AG, that reversed back in the fourth quarter.
While the IRC decreasing trend observed during the second half of 2022 is mainly driven by lower exposure towards Republic of Italy Credit Spread
in the Trading book of UniCredit S.p.A.

The VaR increasing trend observed during the third quarter of 2022 is mainly driven by market transactions primarily affecting Equity Risk in the
Trading book of UniCredit Bank AG, that reversed back in the fourth quarter.
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.
Overall CVA RWA remained relatively stable with respect the third quarter in 2022.

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

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.

Price risk
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.
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 refers to the current or future risk to the bank's capital and earnings arising from unfavorable movements in interest rates that affect
the bank's positions. As interest rates change, the present value and timing of future cash flows change and this, in turn, changes the underlying
value of a bank's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items and therefore its economic value. Changes in interest rates also affect the formation
of the interest margin and, consequently, the bank's profits.
Interest rate risk monitoring and management procedures are applied to all positions sensitive to changes in interest rates, excluding:
• The banking book held for trading;
• Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO) portfolio.
The Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee is responsible for defining the operational strategy for managing the interest rate risk of the banking
book, including the strategy for managing the capital and the structural gap between assets and liabilities not sensitive to the interest rate.
The management of the interest rate risk of the Banking book is aimed at guaranteeing the reduction of the negative impacts on the long-term
interest margins, due to the volatility of interest rates, to achieve a flow of profits and a return on capital consistent with the strategic plan. The
strategy does not envisage any directional or discretionary positioning aimed at generating additional profits, unless approved by the competent
bodies and monitored separately. The only exception is for the functions authorised to take positions on interest rates within the limits approved by
the Risk Committees.
The treasury functions manage the interest rate risk deriving from commercial transactions while maintaining the exposure within the limits set by the
Risk Committees.
Limits and alert thresholds are defined for each Bank or Group Company in terms of sensitivity to the economic value or interest margin. The set of
metrics is defined according to the level of complexity of the Company's business.
Each of the banks or companies of the Group is responsible for managing the exposure to interest rate risk within the defined limits. At consolidated
level, the Group Risk Management function is responsible for measuring interest rate risk, which reports to the Group Financial and Credit Risk
Committee the interest rate risk of the banking book exposures and analysis on a monthly basis.
The interest rate risk management strategy is established considering also the main impacts deriving from the behavioral aspects of customers,
which can impact on the value of interest margins and the economic value of the banking book, such as the example of early repayments of
disbursed loans ("prepayment") and the stability of on demand items.
The monitoring activity is coupled with constant Stress Testing aimed at verifying compliance with the limits under more severe stress scenarios
from those expected and present by the market. The calibration and monitoring of stress test scenarios takes place at least annually.
The Internal Validation functions periodically carries out an independent assessment of the correct application of the measurement methodology
applied by the risk functions within the monitoring perimeter of the banking book including behavioral assumptions.
The Audit functions ensure the adequacy and compliance with regulatory and internal regulations, at least with an annual frequency.
The Group measures and monitors interest rate risk every day. The main sources of interest rate risk can be classified as follows:
• “Gap” risk: arises from the term structure of the banking book; this is the risk that is generated from different timings in the rate changes of the
instruments. The extent of the change in the "gap" also depends on the linearity of the change in the term structure of rates, which can occur
consistently across the entire rate curve (parallel risk) or differently from period to period of the curve (non-parallel risk). The “gap” risk also
includes the repricing risk, i.e., the risk of changes in the interest margin which occurs when the rate of a financial contract resets; the same also
refers to the yield curve risk, which occurs when a shift in an interest rate curve impacts the economic value of the assets and liabilities sensitive to
interest rate risk.
• Basis risk: it can be divided into two types of risk:
- “tenor” risk: derives from the mismatch between the maturity of the instrument and changes in interest rates;
- currency risk: derives from the potential lack of compensation between interest rate sensitivities emerging from different currencies;
• Option risk: derives from positions in derivatives or from optional elements incorporated in many assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items of
the bank, where either the bank or the customer has the right to change the amount and timing of cash flows.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The measurement of interest rate risk includes:
• the sensitivity analysis of interest margins to changes in interest rates: a constant balance sheet analysis (under the assumption that positions
remain constant during the period), and a simulation of the impact on the interest margin for the current period, that also considering the elasticity
assumptions for items on demand. Furthermore, with the simulation analysis is assessed the impact on income of different shocks of the interest
rate curves, including an instantaneous and parallel rate hike scenario of +100bps and a rate fall scenario of -100bps or lower in a function of the
level of rates in the individual currencies as required by the EBA regulations. Additional scenarios are simulated to consider basis risk and other
non-parallel shocks;
• the analysis of the sensitivity of the Economic Value to changes in interest rates: it includes the calculation of duration measures, sensitivity of the
economic value of the balance sheet items for the different points of the curve, as well as the impact on the economic value deriving from large
changes in market rates, according to the scenarios of the “Supervisory Outlier Test” required by the EBA regulation (EBA/GL/2018/02).
The interest rate risk is monitored daily in terms of the sensitivity of the economic value, for an instantaneous and parallel shock of +1 basis point of
the term structure of the interest rates. The function responsible for managing interest rate risk, checks on a daily basis the use of the limits for
exposure to interest rate risk following a 1bp shock. The basis risk and the risk emerging from options are, respectively measured by the "IR Basis"
and "IR Vega" metrics. On a monthly basis, the sensitivity of the Economic Value is monitored for more severe parallel and non-parallel shocks on
the term structure of interest rates and that of the interest margin, as described in the previous paragraph.
The assumptions and parameters of the behavioral models used for the internal measurement systems are the same used to generate the
regulatory exposures published in EU IRRBB1 tables.
The mitigation of the interest rate risk and the hedging activities of the banking book are carried out through the use of regulated or Over the Counter
(OTC) derivatives with an underlying interest rate. The optimization of the natural hedge of the assets with the bank's liabilities is managed by the
Group Treasury function and the single legal entities. The interest rate risk is mainly transferred within the trading book of UniCredit Bank AG, which
optimizes the UniCredit group's hedging costs and outsources them to the market.
Derivative contracts hedging the interest rate risk of the banking book not held for trading are recognised in the accounts as cash flow hedges or fair
value hedges.
The presence and effects of behavioral options in the balance sheet are taken into consideration through the development and application of
behavioral models. The maturity profile as well as the average maturity of repricing of maturity deposits take into account the identification of the
"stable" portion of the balances, or the amount of the deposit that could represent a stable source of financing despite the short contractual maturity,
or the identification of the "core" part of the deposits, that is the amount of the deposits which is stable and difficult to revalue even in the presence of
significant changes in the context of interest rates, determined through the statistical evaluation of the stability of the volume and elasticity of the
customer rate (i.e. the beta parameter).
The maturity profile, as well as the average repricing maturity of mortgages and retail loans, both take into account the optionality of the advance
payment, which is assessed through the statistical estimate of the CPR (conditional early repayment rate) on the loan portfolio.
The estimates on the sensitivity of the interest income in the templates below assume static balance sheet size and structure, no management
actions and constant foreign exchange rates.
The scenarios used in the EU IRRBB1 template related to the change in economic value correspond to the scenarios of the “Supervisory Outlier
Test” required by the EBA regulation (EBA/GL/2018/02). The scenarios used for the sensitivity of the interest margin reported in the EU IRRBB1
template were defined as follows:
• parallel up: parallel shock of +100bps on all interest rate curves, for all currencies;
• parallel down: parallel downward shock in interest rates 100bps or lower depending on the level of interest rates in the individual currencies (CHF,
EUR, BAM and BGN -25bps; JPY, HRK -50bps; HUF, RON -75bps).
The average repricing maturity assigned to non-maturity deposits is 2.3 years.
The longest repricing maturity assigned to non-maturity deposits is 20 years.
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, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, 2.2 Market risk.

2. Banking book: internal models and other methods for sensitivity analysis
Interest Rate Risk
As at 31 December 2022, the sensitivity of the economic value of shareholders’ equity to an immediate and parallel change in interest rates (“parallel
shift”) of +200bps and -200bps was respectively equal to -€5,069 million and €1,917 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 -€5,141 million.
The interest income sensitivity to an immediate and parallel shift of +100bps was +€314 million, whilst the immediate change to a parallel downward
shift of interest rate of -100bps (or less, according to the interest rates level of each currency) was equal to -€129 million.
The EU IRRBB1 template in the table below, contains the Interest rate risk exposure metrics on 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021. For the
descriptions of the scenarios refer to Qualitative information - Interest rate risk.

Note:
The template above is prepared according to Regulation (EU) 631/2022 of 13 April 2022 amending the implementing technical standards laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 637/2021 as regards the disclosure of
exposures to interest rate risk on positions not held in the trading book.
The changes in the sensitivity of the Economic Value in 2022, observable in the table EU IRRBB1 above, are mainly due to the increase in stress on
behavioral models, driven by the increase of EUR rates, and to the execution during Q3 of TLTRO III hedge.
The decrease in the sensitivity of the net interest income (“NII Sensitivity”) between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 is predominantly
driven by the TLTRO III hedge and by the increase of the ECB rate from -50bps to 200bps, which reduces the commercial sensitivity to interest rates
mainly due to liabilities.

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 the paragraph “Stress Test” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, 2.2
Market risk.
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,
considering 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 UGM, 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, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, 2.2 Market
risk.
As regards stress Test refer to the introduction on “Risk management strategies and processes” and for the complex scenarios’ description to
“Stress test” paragraph, Notes to the consolidated account Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, 2.2 Market risk.
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.
Recession Scenario
In this scenario, we assume that an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine leads to a meaningful decline of Russia’s gas supply, which cannot be
compensated for by alternative sources. The price of energy soars while that of food and other commodities rise strongly, fueling inflation. High
uncertainty, erosion of real incomes and further supply disruption on top of those related to Covid-19 push the European economy in a recession.
Inflation expectations at short maturities rise strongly, but, crucially, we assume that expectations at intermediate-to-longer maturities remain well
anchored and even decline as economic slack works its way through the economy, affecting price formation and wage setting. The ECB exits
negative rates and then stops.
Eurozone GDP would increase by 1.5% in 2022 (-1.1pp compared to baseline), contract by 2% in 2023 (almost 4pp below baseline) and rebound by
2% in 2024 (+0.3pp) as energy dependency from Russia ceases and alternative sources of supply are established.
The inflation path is hump shaped. Eurozone inflation surges to 8.5% in 2022, but then disinflationary forces kick in as demand weakness, a
widening of the output gap and base effects prevail over supply-side disruption.
Inflation expectations remaining well anchored at longer maturities help avoid second-round effects. We forecast a decline in inflation to about 6.4%
in 2023 and to below 2% in 2024.
Monetary policy normalization stops earlier than in the baseline scenario, as central banks look through the near-term inflation spike and focus more
on growth damage and its implications for price stability at the policy-relevant horizon.
The ECB stops raising rates when the deposit rate reaches zero, while in the US the fed funds rate peaks at 2%. In both cases, this is 50bp below
the baseline.
Sovereign credit spreads would be under moderate pressure due to lower growth outlook, only in part countered by accommodative monetary
policy. BTPs are expected to widen 160bp in ASW once the shock materializes.
Corporate credit spreads would also be under widening pressure, especially at the lower end of the rating scale. Sector wise, Pharma and consumer
goods are probably going to be more supported, benefitting from ongoing pandemic issues.
Equity markets are expected to post significant losses, of about 15-25%, reflecting the recessionary environment.
In FX, we expect the EUR to come under pressure given the higher vulnerability of the eurozone and a generalized increase in risk aversion, with a
10% depreciation vs. the USD once the shock materializes. Similarly, in this scenario we expect to see strengthening of the CHF and the Yen, which
are typical safe haven currencies.
Hawkish Scenario
In this scenario, we assume that the conflict in Ukraine escalates, uncertainty rises and energy flows from Russia stop completely, sinking the
European economy in a deep recession while inflation surges amid commodity-price shocks and disruption to supply chains. This compounds the
Covid-19 related dysfunctionality on the supply side still in place. Inflation expectations react to the price shock and become de-anchored,
contributing to a material pick-up in wage-growth. Faster wage growth does not prevent a large drop in real disposable income and contributes to
keeping inflation well above target levels for a prolonged period of time, triggering a forceful response by central banks.
Tighter financial conditions intensify the downward pressure on economic activity and lead to wider credit spreads. This is partly mitigated by the
assumption that Europe implements a pan-European support scheme resembling NGEU.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Inflation, which was initially fueled by shocks to commodity prices and demand-supply imbalances caused by the pandemic, becomes more
entrenched. The upward drift in inflation expectations plays a key role in this process, fueling second-round effects.
Firms change their management of supply chains, aiming to strengthen their resilience at the expense of efficiency. This structurally raises firms’
costs, which are then passed on to the final consumers. In the eurozone, inflation averages 10% in 2022, 7% in 2023 and 5.0% in 2024.
Eurozone GDP growth would slow to 1.0% in 2022 (-1.6pp compared to baseline), followed by a contraction of about 4% in 2023 (-6pp) and
expansion of 1.8% in 2024 (about in line with baseline).
Growth shocks for Germany, Italy and Austria exceed that for the eurozone.
Monetary policy responds forcefully to the shock, sacrificing growth in order to regain control of inflation expectations. The ECB hikes the deposit
rate to 1.50 by end-2022 and to 2.50 by end-2023, a cumulative 200bps above the baseline. Also the Fed hikes rates by a cumulative 200bp above
the baseline, with the fed funds rate reaching 4.50%. Tighter financial conditions put additional downward pressure on economic activity.
Sovereign credit spreads are expected to come under strong pressure, due to a combination of slower growth and aggressive monetary policy
tightening. We pencil in a widening of BTP ASW spreads of 190bps once the shock materializes.
Corporate credit spreads would be under strong widening pressure, especially at the lower end of the rating scale. Energy and Industry are expected
to be under stronger pressure in this scenario, due to increasing supply chain imbalances and rising energy prices.
In FX, we expect the EUR to come under significant pressure, with a 16% depreciation relative to the USD that reflects higher vulnerability of the
eurozone and increased risk aversion. The Swiss franc and the Yen are expected to be supported, which are typical safe haven currencies.
Equity markets are expected to post very significant losses of about 30-40%, reflecting the recessionary environment and higher interest rates.

Part E - Information on risks and related 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 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 instrument and relevant risk management & 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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
B. Cash flow hedging activities
The objective of cash flow hedge on assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in cash flows from borrowings/lending that bear a floating
interest rate or provide for a variable FX countervalue amount.
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 of foreign currency cost/revenue streams.
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
The objective of net investment hedging on entities that have different functional currency from the Group is to reduce the impact of fluctuations in
exchange rates on the Group’s capital adequacy ratios.
The management of this risk embeds the annual definition of hedging strategies in compliance with the EBA guidelines on the treatment of Structural
Foreign Exchange risk (EBA/GL/2020/09), and its continuous monitoring to remain within the relevant Risk Appetite Framework thresholds.
The hedging instruments used consist mainly of foreign exchange options. At consolidated level these derivatives qualify as Net Investment Hedge
relationship with the investment. The effective component (intrinsic value) of the hedging instruments is deferred into Other Comprehensive Income -
booked to sub-item “Foreign Investments Hedge” of Valuation Reserves-, offsetting the “FX differences” of the related hedged item. However, at
Bank level, a FVH relationship of the controlling stake is recognised.
Furthermore, 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 derivatives used consist mainly 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 hedges is accounted in Item “80 - Net gains (losses) on trading”.
In general term, both the hedging strategies and the percentage to be hedged is defined considering, inter alia, the diversification effect and taking
into account the volatility and correlation in the FX rates.
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 (or other
identified) 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 Group77.
As a general rule, the large exposure regime, which came into force on 31 December 2010, limits interbank exposures to a maximum of 25% of
Eligible Capital: 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 Eligible Capital 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.
77 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).

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related 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
Finance competence line, and the Group 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 Finance competence line is responsible for the coordination of the overall financial planning process at Group, liquidity reference banks and
relevant LEs 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 LEs, 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.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
All the relevant issues that concern the liquidity risk and management perspective of the Group are discussed in GFRC (Group Financial & Credit
Risks committee - Financial Risk session).
The Committee is responsible for approving strategies, policies and methodologies for Financial Risks and for the monitoring of risks related to Fund
Transfer Pricing, across Liquidity Reference Banks, Business Functions and Legal Entities, with the aim to optimize the usage of financial resources
(e.g., liquidity and capital) in coherence with Risk Appetite and Business Strategies. It is also responsible for the approval of the Financial Plan
Funding Plan, Ordinary Counterbalancing Capacity Plan and Contingency Funding Plan to be submitted to the Board by the CEO as well as for
evaluating the impact of transactions significantly affecting the overall financial risk portfolio profile.
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 test: 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, models to manage the liquidity take 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).

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The main metric used to measure the medium/long-term position is the net stable funding ratio, as described by CRR2.
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 102.3% for 2022 means that stable liabilities have to fully cover the requirements of funding
generated by the assets. In addition to the regulatory perspective offered by the net stable funding ratio, an internal metric, named structural liquidity
ratio, has been introduced to strengthen the steering of structural liquidity risk from an economic point of view, i.e. taking into account the liquidity
risk stemming from different balance sheet items under the perspective of internal models.
Another key structural metric, aimed at measuring the funding needs originated from the commercial activity of the Bank, is the funding gap. It
measures the need of funding that 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 another 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 2022 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 €7,378 million as of 31 December 2022.

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 monthly 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.
In addition to an adequate liquidity buffer to face unexpected outflows and robust and regular up-to-date stress testing performed, 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 Finance 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 crisis usually develops 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 rules have 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.
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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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 2022, the Group liquidity situation has been 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 2022, 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 2022, the funding gap, the net stable funding ratio and the structural liquidity 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
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, the most relevant liquidity risks that the Group
may face depending on the expected economic recovery 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 taken 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 the identification, the assessment
and measurement, the addressing and mitigation, the monitoring and reporting of the operational risk of the Group and of the controlled entities.
The operational risk policies, applying to all Group 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 Group Legal Entities according to the internal regulation and the Group operational risk control rulebook. A
specific Risks Committee Group Non-Financial Risks and Controls Committee (GNFRC) is set up to monitor risk exposure, mitigating actions,
measurement and control methods within the Group. With particular reference to UniCredit S.p.A. the Italy Non-Financial Risks and Controls
Committee (INFRCC) supports the Head of Italy in the role of steering and monitoring of the Non-Financial Risks (NFRs) at Italy level, also
overseeing the related internal control system (ICS). The methodologies for data classification and completeness verification, scenario analysis, risk
indicators, monitoring and reporting, capital at risk measurement, Risk and Control Self Assessments and Operational Risks Mitigation Strategies
are set by the Group Non-Financial Risks (GNFR) structure and applied by 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 Parent Company and is
independent from the Group Non-Financial 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 out 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, the outcome of
these checks did not highlight any significant criticality. 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 Non-Financial Risks and Controls Committee (GNFRC) supports the CEO in the role of steering and monitoring the Non-Financial Risks
(NFRs) at Group level, also overseeing the related internal control system (ICS).
The GNFRC enables the coordination among the “three lines of defence” with the aim to identify and share Group priorities concerning Non-
Financial Risks (e.g. events, regulations or emerging risks), assessing and monitoring the effectiveness of initiatives put in place in order to address
them.

ICS, evaluating weaknesses and shortcomings and, if needed, recommending and prioritising corrective actions, as well as monitoring main
implementation plans milestones;
• external events having potential impact on Group NFRs profile, and best practices and/or lessons learned deriving from events, assessments and
action plans defined by the Group Legal Entities;
• the periodical reporting provided by Risk Management on operational losses (with particular focus on events having relevant financial impacts),
near misses, Risk Weighted Assets, Indicators and Scenario Analysis;
• the Compliance and Risk Management evidences on second level controls carried out, as well as on current and expected impacts of regulations

Risks;
• the monitoring the information flows on the exercise of the powers sub-delegated by the CEO according to the current Delegation of Powers by the
Board of Directors and on the new sub delegation granted;
• the Internal Validation annual Regulatory Report on operational risk.
In order to evaluate the strength or the potential criticalities related to the ICS, the GNFRC evaluates the significant or critical elements emerging
from reports produced by External Regulators (i.e. ECB, SSM, Banca d’Italia, Consob, etc.), from other Group Functions with control duties or
operating within the ICS (e.g. ICT, Security, Operations, Procurement and Cost Management) and External Auditors.
Group Non-Financial Risks structure (GNFR) is responsible for the governance and control of operational and reputational risks (including
operational risks bordering on credit risk, alias Cross Credit risks) of the Group and for evaluating its exposure to operational and reputational risks,
providing frameworks, methodologies and coordination of risk assessment activities and guaranteeing their continual and independent monitoring.
The structure is furthermore responsible for defining strategies to mitigate such risks and containing the related losses and risk weighted assets. The
structure is responsible for ensuring integrated analysis and reporting, involving and in alignment with the other control functions (i.e. Compliance,
Audit) on the main operational and reputational risks of the Group. The structure is also responsible for the governance and control of IT and of
Digital Security risks, through the definition of the framework for the management of IT and of Digital Security risks, the coordination and monitoring
of the Group Entities in its implementation, the measurement, assessment and control of IT and of Digital Security risks for UniCredit S.p.A. as well

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The structure is organised as follow:
• Operational Risks Analytics and Oversight is responsible to define principles and rules at Group level for identification, assessment, control and
reporting of operational risk, monitoring their correct application by Legal Entities. The structure is also responsible for defining operational and
reputational risk capital measurement methodologies, conducting analysis of the Group's exposure to operational risk also based on operational
risks analytics models. The structure is furthermore responsible for the definition of Risk Appetite Framework/RAF metrics of competence as well
as for the related periodical monitoring.
• Reputational & Operational Risks Strategies & Mitigation is responsible to define the priority operational risk strategic areas, coordinating and
monitoring the definition and planning of related relevant risks mitigation actions by the Legal Entities of the Group. The structure defines and
provides methodologies for the evaluation of operational risks and controls (i.e. Risk and Control Self-Assessments -RCSA) on processes,
products and projects performed by the Legal Entities of the Group. The structure is also responsible to define the methodologies for assessing the
reputational risk related to activities performed by the Group, providing reputational risk assessments for UniCredit S.p.A. and Non-Binding
opinions for the other Legal Entities of the Group.
• Operational Risk Processes Assessment is responsible to oversee the operational risks for the Holding and Global functions perimeter, supporting
the identification, management and monitoring of operational risks, also through the coordination of specific risk assessment activities on
processes, products and projects. The structure is also responsible for the governance, identification and monitoring of the operational related
credit risk for the Group (“cross credit risk”), coordinating and supporting dedicated risk assessments on business and governance processes and
the related communication within Group and Local committees.
• Digital Risk is responsible to define the most relevant areas within the Operational Risk Framework which regard Digital & Information perimeter of
activity, in coherence with the Risk Appetite Framework and Group strategic objectives; as well as define the guidelines for the control of the IT
and Digital Security risks performed by the Group Legal Entities and monitoring their execution. The structure is also responsible to identify,
evaluate and control IT and Digital Security risks within the definition of the processes belonging to Digital & Information Division as well as within
the implementation of the same.
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 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 Non-Financial 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 evidence is 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 Parent Company 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.
Operational loss reports, submitted to Group Non-Financial Risks and Controls Committee are periodically provided to Regulators.
Risk addressing and mitigation
The goal of reducing and controlling the operational and reputational risks is pursued by GNFR and the local Non-Financial Risk (NFR) management
functions, as well as by the other relevant and involved functions (e.g. business/support functions, competence lines), through the definition of the
risk priorities and the identification of related actions to mitigate them.
The identification of the Group and Legal Entity Operational & Reputational Risk Mitigation Strategies (Group and Legal Entity ORRMS) is
performed by GNFR and the local NFR management functions through a set of recurring yearly activities at Group and Legal Entities level to define
the most appropriate mitigation actions in their scope in order to address and reduce the identified operational and reputational risk priorities.
Group ORRMS are submitted for approval to the Group competent Committee and for acknowledgement to the Holding Company Board of
Directors: once approved, the Group ORRMS become effective and shall be sent to the LEs to be submitted for acknowledgement to the Legal
Entity competent Bodies.

Consolidated financial statements | Notes to the consolidated accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The Group and local ORRMS are defined through:
• the definition of Group Operational and Reputational Risk Priorities, which are based upon an integrated analysis performed by GNFR and
constitute the list of priority risk areas to be managed for the upcoming year;
• the Local Operational and Reputational Risk Priorities definition and the related Local ORMMS, set through the analysis of the relevance of each
Priority supplied by GNFR, according to the provided methodology. Additionally, the local NFR management functions should identify and evaluate
additional priorities affecting their own Legal Entity, considered relevant on the basis of the local market trends, the business evidences of the
previous year and the specificities of the Legal Entity, and address them through specific mitigation actions which represent the local ORRMS;
• the identification of Group ORRMS, which aim at assuring the mitigation of the operational and reputational risk priorities through the adoption of
second level structured actions. The list of actions includes the measures, designed to reduce, prevent, avoid or transfer the risk exposure, thus
avoiding a potential loss or decreasing its impact.
During the year, the status of the mitigation actions plan related to Group and Local ORRMS, is monitored on a regular basis, following a risk-based
approach. In particular, the monitoring is performed through:
• the second Level Controls, aimed at verifying that the actions defined within ORRMS are effectively and timely carried out and in case of
significative changes concerning the implementation timeline, mitigation action effectiveness or risk exposure, the local NFR management function
must engage the main risk owner to implement an adequate recovery plan and timely informs GNFR;
• the oversight, during which GNFR checks the planned actions and discusses the potential criticalities detected during the monitoring phase of
Local and Group ORRMS, with the goal of defining (if any) recovery actions and/or (if any) escalations to local or Group competent Risk
Committees.
Operational Risk Permanent WorkGroup (PWG)
The “Global Operational Regulation Group Operational & Reputational Risk Mitigation Strategies” rules the PWG, an inter-functional working group
established in the Legal Entities, which aims at identifying the root causes of Operational Risks and reduce the Operational Risk exposure of the
Legal Entity, leveraging mainly on the expertise of the NFR management function and the other competent functions (e.g. Compliance, Security,
Business functions, etc.) involved time by time.
The meetings, called at least quarterly, contribute to identify the risks, propose the mitigation actions and monitor their implementation status.
Insurance as risk mitigation
GNFR/local NFR management function, respectively at Group/Local level, is involved in the decision process related to insurance coverage with
analyses regarding the exposure to operational risks, effectiveness of deductibles and of policy limits. Such functions regularly inform management
on insurance related matters connected to operational risks. The role of GNFR and the local NFR management function in insurance management is
defined in in the “Global Operational Regulation Group Operational & Reputational Risk Mitigation Strategies”.
Any proposal of relevant change in the risk transfer strategy through insurance is submitted to the competent functions/Bodies for approval.
The operational risks commonly insured in the Group are damages to physical assets, frauds and liability toward third parties.
On the basis of a risk classification, the Group has insurance policies according to the following forms:
• internal fraud: “Bankers Blanket Bond” (BBB) policy, according to Employee Dishonesty insuring clause;
• external fraud: BBB policy, according to the following insuring clauses: On Premises and In Transit (including loss of property resulting directly
from theft & robbery), Forgery or Alteration, Computer Manipulation, included the cases of “fraudulent impersonation of counterparty” aimed at the
execution of fraudulent transactions (e.g., “CEO frauds”);
• ICT and cyber breach: Cyber policy, coverage for liability claims (including legal expenses and customer notification costs) and business
interruption costs (included also damages to UniCredit group caused by the system failure of the external IT providers). The coverage is extended
also to group multimedia liability (i.e., infringement of the copyright, defamation and general negligence in the course of publication);
• protection for the personal liabilities of the management including legal expenses: Directors and Officers Liability (D&O) policy;
• employer’s liability (E.L.): protection for the Bank’s liability against claims for damages suffered by employees (compared to third-parties);
• third Party Liability policy (TPL): protection for the Bank’s general liability against claims for damages suffered by third parties;
• external occurrences: Property ALL RISKS policy as well as EDP ALL RISKS policy are provided in respect of buildings and other assets,
extended to natural events, catastrophic losses, vandalism and terrorism, Fine Art policy to cover entrusted or owned works of art.

AMA includes the effect of the BBB coverage on ET1 (“Event Type 1”) “Internal Frauds”. In particular, its impact is recognised by applying the
following haircuts (aimed at considering uncertainty and mismatching elements theoretically linked to an insurance), which are updated on annual
basis:
• residual Term of Policy - longer than 1 year aims to keep coverage stability;
• cancellation Terms - longer than 1 year aim to keep coverage stability (as well as for residual term);
• probability of Insurance Recovery (PoIR) - its calculation addresses uncertainties and responsiveness of insurance policies related to “mismatches
in coverage”;
• recovery Rate - it considers the split of fines and penalties in internal losses (other deviations from full recovery already included in PoIR);
• probability of Default of Insurers - it contributes to estimate the ability of insurer to pay in a timely manner, considering the potential credit risk
associated with the insurance asset and the related time delay;
• discount factor - applied to the recoveries, considers that the final payment is expected with a delay defined by the time delay.
Non-Financial Risks Appetite (NFRs Appetite)
Non-Financial Risks Appetite metrics (Key Performance Indicators - KPIs) are reviewed annually and quarterly monitored; KPIs are cascaded to
Legal Entities (in line with the perimeter defined by Group Risk Appetite Framework - RAF).
ELOR (Expected Losses on Revenues) is an overarching NFRs metrics within Risk Appetite framework; in addition, Cyber Risk, ICT Risk, Financial
Crime, Outsourcing & Third Parties Risks and Reputational Risk are monitored through dedicated KPIs and/or qualitative statements covering the
main identified risk factors.
ELOR is a ratio estimated with a statistical model, based on the historical losses time series and forward-looking factors, as numerator, and the
budget revenues, as denominator.
ELOR is monitored using the actual losses on actual revenues booked until end of quarters. The comparison between the thresholds estimated at
the beginning of the year and the actual calculated on each quarter allows a close monitoring by the Parent Company of changes or reactions put in
place by the Legal Entities to reduce and prevent risks. These analyses are also used to evaluate the impact of mitigation actions implemented in
the past and as a base for future strategies and mitigation activities, as well as the improvement of existing ones.
A disciplined approach in monitoring expected losses and implementing remedial actions will ensure consistency with best practice standards,
increasing accountability and alignment between business and risk control functions.
Stress test
Since 2017, the Group has carried out regular stress analyses for operational risks. These include the stress test exercise for the Group, aimed at
verifying, through the use of a statistical-econometric model, the impact in terms of operating losses, as well as the consequent repercussions on
capital at risk, of the changes in the underlying macro-economic factors, using articulated economic scenarios discussed and defined by the Group
Stress Test Council on the proposal of the Research Department. This exercise is carried out twice a year, or on request, whenever an analysis of
this type is required, to assess the risks deriving from possible worsening of the macro-economic context.
Risk capital measurement and allocation mechanism
UniCredit group developed an internal model for measuring the capital requirements. It is based on internal loss data, external loss data (collected
from the international consortium ORX - Operational Riskdata eXchange Association), scenario loss data and risk indicators. Capital requirement is
calculated at Group level, considering the risk classes. For each risk class, severity and frequency of loss data are separately estimated to obtain
the annual loss distribution.
The severity distribution is estimated on internal, external and scenario data, while the frequency distribution is determined using only the internal
data. The severity distribution is selected among a portfolio of parametric distributions (truncated lognormal, truncated Weibull, truncated loglogistic,
generalised Pareto, shifted lognormal) applying a decision tree on internal data to identify the set of distribution/threshold best describing the tail
severity data for each risk class.
Frequency of loss data is modelled by a Poisson distribution. For each risk class, the annual loss distribution is obtained from severity and frequency
through Monte Carlo simulation. An adjustment for key operational risk indicators is applied to the annual loss distribution estimated for each risk
class.

Annual loss distributions of risk classes are aggregated considering correlation among monthly loss data of risk classes. Correlation is estimated
through a Student-t copula function and the overall annual loss distribution is obtained though Monte Carlo simulation, considering also insurance
coverage. Group AMA capital requirement is calculated at a confidence level of 99.9% on the overall loss distribution for regulatory purposes and for
economic capital purposes. Expected loss, for each risk class, is calculated as the minimum between median of loss distribution and available
specific provisions related to ordinary internal loss data. Deduction for expected loss is calculated summing up the expected losses of the risk
classes without exceeding the median of overall distribution.
Through an allocation mechanism, the individual Legal Entities’ capital requirements are identified, reflecting the Entities exposure to operational
risk.
The allocation mechanism is based on two steps:
• the Group capital requirement is allocated to model Hubs (sets of similar Legal Entities, in terms of geographical area or business type)
proportionally to their relative Standardised Approach (TSA), Operational losses and stand-alone capital at risk figure;
• the Hub capital at risk is then allocated to individual Legal Entities on the basis of their TSA, historical loss profile and scenarios.
The Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) approved by the Supervisory Authority in 2008 has been upgraded and deeply revised (starting from
30 June 2014 reporting leading to a second-generation model newly approved by competent authorities in 2014. The findings resolution on second
generation model led to the last model version, starting from 31 December 2015 reporting. Key operational risk indicators adjustment has been fine-
tuned, from 31 December 2017 reporting, to incorporate some observations included in the letter by ECB “follow-up review of AMA 2 findings”
submitted in July 2016. A model change has been applied from 31 December 2018 reporting date, in order to improve the accuracy and the risk
sensitivity of the Operational Risk capital requirement calculation, including an add-on, while the Supervisory Authority was completing the
investigation. This model change has been finalised from the 30 June 2019 reporting, in order to address the Supervisory Authority findings, remove
the add-on, and make the model compliant with the EU Regulatory Technical Standards (EU Regulation 2018/959 of 14 March 2018).
The Legal Entities not yet authorised to use the advanced methods contribute to the consolidated capital requirement on the basis of the
Standardised Approach (TSA) or Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) model.

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 2022, the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and other UniCredit group companies were named as defendants in 58,117 legal
proceedings, of which 7,983 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
2022, UniCredit group set aside a provision for risks and charges of €620.97 million, of which €296.2 million for the parent company UniCredit S.p.A.
As at 31 December 2022, the total amount of claimed damages relating to judicial proceedings other than labour, tax and debt collections
proceedings amounted to approximately €7.5 billion, of which approximately €5.2 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 characterized 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 2022, there were several pending civil proceedings against UniCredit Bank Austria AG (“UCB Austria”) for the total claimed
damages amount of €4.8 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.
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. On 22 June 2022, the competent court in Munich rejected all applications for a higher compensation than that which
the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. paid to the former minority shareholders of UCB AG hence dismissing all claims. Certain claimants have filed
appeals.
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. In parallel, three contentious proceedings in which plaintiffs claim
damages are still pending, involving however only insignificant amounts in dispute.
Fino 1 Arbitration
In July 2022 Fino 1 Securitization S.r.l. (“Fino 1”) commenced an ICC arbitration seeking damages in relation to, inter alia, the alleged breach of
certain representations and warranties included in a transfer agreement for the sale of receivables entered into in 2017. The proceedings are
ongoing.
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 extended to certain periods from 2007 to 2011 and included activities by UCB AG between September and
November 2011. The European Commission concluded its investigation by issuance of its decision on 20 May 2021. The decision provides for the
imposition of a fine of €69.4 million on the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG. The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and UCB AG
contest the European Commission's findings and brought an action for the annulment of its decision before the General Court of the European Union
on 30 July 2021.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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 has been completed,
and in June 2021 defendants have requested a pre-motion conference with the court. On 14 March 2022, the court granted UC Capital Markets LLC
motion to dismiss while denying UCB AG’s motion to dismiss. The court has since denied UCB AG’s motion for reconsideration, UCB AG has
answered the operative complaint and discovery has commenced. On 7 November 2022, plaintiffs sought leave to file a fifth amended class action
complaint, which would continue to name UCB AG among others (but not UniCredit Capital Markets LLC) as a defendant.
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 2022 (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 €1.02 billion, 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 €366 million, mediations included) and the
German market (for which the claimed amount against UCB AG was €30 million); and (iii) proceedings relating to foreign currency loans, mainly
affecting the CE&EE countries (for which the claimed amount was around €180 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 CE&EE 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 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 Zagrebacka banka d.d. (“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 May 2022, the ECJ rendered a preliminary ruling regarding the pending request and stated that (i) the ECJ has jurisdiction only in respect to the
conversion agreement concluded after Croatia's accession to the EU, (ii) the Directive on unfair terms in consumer contracts is not applicable in
cases in which the conversion was based on national law; and (iii) any request for payment of amounts addressed to Zaba referring to the unfair
contractual terms of the original loan agreement cannot be based on the provisions of the above-mentioned Directive. The ECJ also referred to the
local courts to finally decide on the conversion agreements and their effects. In March 2021 the Constitutional Court rejected Zaba’s application
related to the invalidity of the Swiss franc currency clause. In December 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that customers who converted under the
Conversion Amendments are entitled to the penalty interest on their overpayments before the conversion (overpayments are the difference between
the Swiss-franc denominated annuities paid before the conversion and annuities that would have been paid if the loan was euro denominated). In
light of the above, 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. In the second half of 2022, the settlement was
implemented, the escrowed amount was paid over to the State of New Mexico and the Defendants, including UniCredit S.p.A., have all been
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.
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
approximately €12 million for compound interest (including alleged usury component) and €400 million for damages. The company then went
bankrupt. The parent company UniCredit S.p.A. won the case in the first instance and the appeal is pending.
On 31 July 2020, Mr. Bolici’s business partner sued the parent company UniCredit S.p.A., seeking damages based on analogous facts to those
alleged in the 2014 proceedings. The Court ruled in favour of the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. The appeal filed by the other party is pending.
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.
The Court of Appeal of Rome reversed this decision and found all the defendants guilty. Following a further appeal, while stating that some
accusations were time-barred, the Supreme Court confirmed the decisions of the Court of Appeal in respect of the damages sought by the Bank. In
May 2022, the insurance company indemnified the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. under the applicable policy, paying an amount of €33.5 million
in relation to the losses suffered by the bank.
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) was won by the Bank at first-instance and the judgment is now final; (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.
Plaintiffs have appealed and reduced the claimed amount to €100 million.
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.
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.

Other proceedings
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.
In this context, criminal investigations have been conducted against current or former employees of UCB AG and UCB AG itself as an ancillary party
by the Prosecutors in Frankfurt am Main, Cologne and Munich. With respect to UCB AG, all proceedings originally initiated by the aforesaid
prosecution offices were finally closed with payment of a fine or the payment of a forfeiture.
In December 2018, in connection with an ongoing investigation against other financial institutions and former bank employees, the Cologne
prosecutor informed UCB AG of the initiation of a new 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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
On 28 July 2021 the Federal Criminal Court (BGH) rendered a decision through which the principle criminal liability of cum/ex structures was
determined the first time. With its decisions of 6 April and 17 November 2022, the BGH confirmed two criminal judgments in other cum-ex cases of
the Regional Court of Bonn, thus further solidifying its case law. UCB AG is monitoring the development.
In December 2022, the Munich tax authorities completed a regular field audit of UCB AG for the years 2013 to 2016, which includes, among other
things, a review of transactions in equities around the dividend record date (so called cum/cum transactions). 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 cum/cum transactions. It remains to be clarified whether, and under what circumstances, tax credits can be obtained or taxes refunded with
regard to different types of cum/cum transactions, 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. In this context, UCB AG
is considering the latest view of the German Tax Authorities. UCB AG is also monitoring the current development following an important decision of
the Federal Tax Court (BFH) dated 29 September 2021, through which the BFH acknowledged the transfer of economic ownership in case of a
stock loan transaction contrary to a previous decision.
UCB AG has made provisions.
Claims in relation to a syndicated loan
UCB AG, together with several other financial institutions, has been named as a defendant in complaints filed by the judicial administrator and
foreign representative of a Brazilian oil and gas conglomerate in July 2021 in the United States before the Southern District of New York court
claiming damages in connection with the repayment of a syndicated loan for two oil drilling rigs UCB AG participated in that defendants are alleged
to have unlawfully obtained.
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 €18.7 million in total. These proceedings are mainly
pending in the first instance and may be adverse to UCB Austria.
Meanwhile, 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.
Bitminer Litigation in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina
In 2019, a local customer, Bitminer Factory d.o.o. Gradiška ("Bitminer"), filed a lawsuit before the District Commercial Court in Banja Luka claiming
damages for unjustified termination of its current bank accounts by UniCredit Bank a.d. Banja Luka ("UCBL"), a subsidiary of the parent company
UniCredit S.p.A. in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska. Bitminer alleged that termination of the accounts obstructed its initial coin offering
(ICO) relating to a start-up renewable-energy-powered cryptocurrency mining project in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
On 30 December 2021, the first instance court adopted most of Bitminer's claims and ordered UCBL to pay damages in the amount of BAM
256,326,152 (approx. €131.2million). The appeal was filed in January 2022. The first instance court decision is not final, biding and enforceable. The
ultimate liability of UCBL, if any, will be determined only after all ordinary legal remedies have been exhausted, and in any case not before the final
and binding decision of the appellate court.

UniCredit is involved in employment law disputes. In general, all employment law disputes are supported by provisions made to meet any
disbursements incurred and anyway 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.

Quantitative information
UniCredit group mainly uses the advanced method (AMA) for calculating the capital against operational risks. Companies not yet authorised to use
the advanced method contribute to the consolidated capital requirement on the basis of the Standardised Approach (TSA) or Basic Indicator
Approach (BIA) method.
The weight of the different methods, expressed in terms of contribution to the total relevant indicator of the Group, is as follows: AMA 88.55%, TSA
8.95%, BIA 2.50%.
The AMA perimeter embeds Group main legal entities in Italy, Germany, Austria. AMA is also applied to main legal entities of CEE countries
including Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria and Hungary.
Main TSA and BIA legal entities are AO UniCredit Bank (Russia) and UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.
Detailed below is the percentage composition at Group Level, by type of event, of operational risk sources as defined by the New Basel Capital
Accord and acknowledged by the Regulations for the Prudential Supervision of Banks issued by Banca d’Italia in December 2013 (Circular
No.285/2013 and following updates).
The risk categories for event type are the following:
• internal fraud: losses owing to unauthorised activity, fraud, embezzlement or violation of laws, regulations or business directives that involve at
least one internal member of the bank;
• external fraud: losses owing to fraud, embezzlement or violation of laws by subjects external to the bank;
• employment practices and workplace safety: losses arising from actions in breach of employment, health and workplace safety laws or
agreements, from personal injury compensation payments or from cases of discrimination or failure to apply equal treatment;
• clients, products and business practices: losses arising from non-fulfilment of professional obligations towards clients or from the nature or
characteristics of the products or services provided;
• damage to physical assets: losses arising from external events, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and vandalism;
• business disruption and system failures: losses owing to business disruption and system failures or interruptions;
• process management, execution, and delivery: losses owing to operational or process management shortfalls, as well as losses arising from
transactions with commercial counterparties, sellers and suppliers.

Other risks included in Economic Capital
As reported in the paragraph “Introduction”, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, among the
Group’s risks there are other risks relating to Pillar II that are Business Risk, Real Estate Risk, Financial Investment Risk and Reputational Risk (the
latter is described in the paragraph Reputational Risk, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
2.6 Other risks). For each risk, the Economic Capital calculation is performed adopting a confidence level equal to the regulatory level (99.90%) and
a one-year time horizon.
1. Business risk
Business Risk is defined as adverse, unexpected changes in business volumes and/or 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 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 the relevant items of the Income statement reports.
The Business Risk calculation is performed on a quarterly basis for monitoring and for planning purposes according to the relevant time schedule.
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 includes general information relating to properties and area or regional rental price indexes for
each property to enable calculation of volatility and correlation in the model.
The Real Estate Risk calculation is performed on a quarterly basis for monitoring purposes with a portfolio updated semi-annually and for planning
purposes according to the relevant time schedule.
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 treated relying on the Market Risk Internal Model infrastructure.
The unlisted component is evaluated into the Group Credit Portfolio Model (GCPM). The calculation of the risk is based on a Value at Risk (VaR)
model calculated at 99.90% confidence level and is executed inside credit and market risk models according to the nature of the underlying portfolio.
The Financial Investments Risk is calculated on a quarterly basis for monitoring and for planning purposes according to the relevant time schedule.
Risk measurement methods
1.Economic Capital
As described in the paragraph Introduction, Notes to the consolidated account, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, 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).
The Economic 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 reported above that are quantifiable in terms of Economic Capital. The effect of the diversification among risk
types (“inter-risk diversification”) and of the diversification at portfolio level (“intra-risk diversification”) is also considered. In addition, a Capital add-on
is calculated as prudential cushion in order to account for Model Risk uncertainty.
As for its components, the Economic Capital is calculated on a one-year time horizon and adopting a confidence level equal to the regulatory level
(99.90%). For monitoring purposes, the Economic 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 schedule.
Consistently with the corporate governance system, the function Strategic & Integrated Risks of UniCredit S.p.A. is responsible for the Group
Economic methodology development and its measurement, as well as for the setting and implementation of the Group related processes.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
The "Group Rules", after the approval, are submitted to relevant Legal Entities for local approval and implementation.
2. Stress Testing
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 materialization of the macroeconomic adverse scenarios. These scenarios are drawn analysing both current
macroeconomic 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 Economic Capital.
The Group Senior Management is involved in the Group-wide stress test in the following phases:
• 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.

Reputational risk
Reputational risk is defined as the current or prospective risk to earnings or capital decrease arising from the adverse perception of the image of the
financial institution on the part of customers, counterparties (also including debtholders, market analysts, other relevant parties, such as civil society,
NGOs, media, etc.), 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. On top of the Global Policy Regulation, a set of
sensible sectors policies has been issued during the years, in order to mitigate specific reputational risks that arise from having relationships with
counterparties operating in these sectors. The current policies are “Defense Industry”, “Nuclear Energy”, “Mining”, “Water Infrastructure (dam)”,
“Thermal Coal” and “Oil &Gas”. In 2022, the “Defence Industry” policy has been reviewed, the main improvements refer to the introduction of client’s
classification based on their activity, the explicit inclusion of key components and key infrastructures in the scope of the regulation as well as the
update of the forbidden countries, refining the guideline that deals are not supported if addressed to countries involved in an active conflict or
internal repression against civil population or subject to embargo, and the update of controversial weapons (e.g. depleted uranium). Also, it has been
refreshed the approach of the “Mining” policy, in order to introduce the client’s classification as the other sensitive sectors policies, to assess its
adequacy to the current context and climate requirements and to better clarify the overall set of principles referring to prohibited extraction activities,
sites and behaviors, considering both the best practices (i.e., prohibition on asbestos) and the principles stated in other UCG Policies (i.e.,
prohibition on Arctic extractions). Also, in first half 2022 a new Tobacco Commitment with the guidelines to exit the tobacco industry by the end of
2025 has been issued.
The reputational risk management is in charge to the Group Non-Financial Risks Department of UniCredit S.p.A. and to dedicated functions within
the Group legal entities.
In 2021, within the review of the Group Committees, the Group Non-Financial Risks and Controls Committee (GNFRC) - Reputational Risk
dedicated session has been established.
The Committee meets with approval functions, according to the regulations in place, for the following topics:
• Governance policies and guidelines for the management of the reputational risk on sensitive sectors and customer relationships;
• Binding Opinions, whenever a relevant reputational risk is present on specific single transactions/relationships - as foreseen by the Internal
Regulations - to be provided to UniCredit S.p.A. functions;
• Non-Binding Opinions, whenever a relevant reputational risk is present on specific single transactions/relationships - as foreseen by the Internal
Regulations - on cases submitted by Local NFRC, to be provided to other Group Legal Entities.
The Committee meets with consulting and information functions for the following topics, evaluating and providing guidelines with reference to:
• Reputational risk relevant emerging trends or material events, for their implications on Group and Local strategies, initiatives, transactions,
projects, customers or other business activities, leveraging on evidences and assessments provided by Risk Management, Compliance, Legal,
Group ESG Strategy & Impact Banking, Group Institutional Affairs and Group Identity and Communication;
• Group relevant risks/criticalities highlighted by Internal Audit function, for specific cases and in relation to specific areas or geographies;
• Periodical reporting provided by Group competent structures on the business activities and decisions taken in relation to the defined sensitive
sectors.
In addition, 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/CISION, 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
The measures already put in place last year to protect the health of employees and clients have also effectively prevented negative impacts on the
Group reputation. The monitoring of the operational events connected to Covid-19 pandemic, aimed at promptly detect process criticalities or
improper behaviors, allowed also to mitigate related potential reputational risks.

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 2022:
1. Covid-19 pandemic evolution impacts;
2. Russia-Ukraine conflict;
3. Macroeconomic and (geo-)political challenges;
4. Climate and environmental risks;
5. Cyber security risks;
6. Risks stemming from the current Regulatory developments.
1. The Covid-19 pandemic evolution impacts
New Covid-19 variants continued to emerge globally also in 2022 with some of the mutations being relatively more contagious than previous ones
and capable of evading some immune protection more easily. China’s zero-Covid policy maintained since the beginning of the pandemic was rolled
back at the end of December 2022, signaling re-opening of country’s economy as one of the upsides to global economic growth, but at the same
time triggering substantial contagion increase inside the country. Virus mutation with related government responses, affecting the level of pressure
on health care systems and supply-chains, still remain as a major risk factor to the outlook of pandemic evolution and further potential adverse
impact on global economy.
Since the pandemic outbreak, 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.
The Group ensures any uncertainties, including those conditioned by the context, described above, are properly addressed via its comprehensive
risk management framework.
2. Russia-Ukraine conflict
One of the most relevant risks emerged during 2022 regards the materialization of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which was reflected in the imposition
of severe sanctions to Russia by the United States and Western countries.
The later had negative consequences on inflation, market volatility, energy cost, particularly relevant for European countries.
In addition the following effects have to be considered: 1) threats to food security of the Middle East, North Africa, and Western and Central Asia
(only partially mitigated with the grain deal in the Q3 2022); 2) energy policy rotation towards secure access and source diversification; 3)
intensification of race for critical materials, equipment, and commodities; 4) financial system effects; 5) Cyber risk increase; 6) massive humanitarian
crisis linked to the significant migratory flow from Ukraine.
High level of the uncertainty about the evolution and outcome of the conflict persists together with risk of its escalation with potentially larger scale of
humanitarian, political and economic impacts hindering global post-pandemic recovery.
The conflict has severely affected the global food production system. Russia and Ukraine produce roughly a third of the world’s ammonia and
potassium exports, essential ingredients in fertilizer and supply grain and sunflower seed oil to much of the world. After the beginning of the conflict
prices for fertilizers and several food commodities have increased significantly.
Over the years, Europe has come to depend heavily on Russian energy sources: coal, crude oil, fuel oil, and, especially, natural gas.
European countries are taking actions to lower their demand in the short term (end of 2022/early 2023), increasing gas supplies from countries other
than Russia, importing more liquefied natural gas (LNG) and generating more biofuel.
The beginning of the conflict hastened further price rises of various commodities exported by Russia and Ukraine (for example coal, steel, nickel).
Overall, the conflict is aggravating financial system risks that first showed up in 2021. For additional information about the update of macro-economic
scenarios and its effects on valuation of Group’s asset please refer to Section 2 - General preparation criteria, Notes to the consolidated account,
Part A - Accounting policies.
Cyber-attacks remain an important risk factor. Since the beginning of the conflict, several cyber-attacks took place (e.g. Ukrainian power systems
and telecom networks have been taken offline for several hours and other Ukrainian government organization have been hacked, public websites of
several Russian government ministries have been attacked). Depending on the evolution of the conflict, cyber threat is expected to continue be
relevant.

3. Macroeconomic and (geo-)political challenges
After the substantial immediate impact of the Covid-19 crisis holding back the global economy throughout the whole 2020, during 2021 signs of
faster economic growth emerged with unemployment rates going down as businesses get back on track. However, the macroeconomic environment
showed signs of deterioration in 2022 amid Russia-Ukraine conflict as business sentiment and consumer confidence declined. Protracted conflict
and its escalation risk, low growth and high inflation environment, markets volatility and monetary policy tightening, these are among the main
drawbacks to economic recovery. Households’ resilience still benefits from the increased precautionary savings; however, disposable income is
negatively impacted by higher inflation.
Financial institutions are proceeding with the phasing out of central banks facilities put in place in 2020 in mitigation of Covid-19 crisis. Impact of rate
hikes on both residential and commercial housing markets, particularly in countries with high debt and overvalued property values is another factor
worth monitoring.
In addition to those factors, the following trends and challenges on the geopolitical arena continue to be relevant:
• West-Russia relationship crisis amid Russia-Ukraine conflict;
• US-China tensions over Taiwan;
• Concerns regarding restoring Iran nuclear deal.
4. The climate-related and environmental risks
The UniCredit ESG strategy shows that embedding sustainability in all that the Group does is one of the five strategic imperatives of UniCredit
Unlocked, announced on 9 December 2021. The ESG Strategy is rooted in the Group's principles and beliefs across the Environmental, Social and
Governance dimensions, based on clear business goals and key strategic actions across four building blocks, ensuring deliverables through
transparent enablers78.

UniCredit’s environmental strategy is built on the so-called double materiality approach, taking into account both an inside-out perspective and an
outside-in perspective. We acknowledge the impacts that our operations and lending have on the environment and prepare to measure the business
consequences of ecological stress and the associated socio-economic transition.
From the inside-out perspective, impacts are considered according to a two-pronged approach to promoting and preserving natural capital:

Direct impacts
The Group commits to containing its own environmental footprint:
• lowering direct emissions towards Net Zero, procuring most of its electricity from renewable sources and improving the energy efficiency of
premises and data centers;
• adopting circular solutions in resources management, with the commitment to remove single use plastic items in UniCredit buildings by the end of
2022.
Indirect impacts
The Group offers support to businesses respectful of the environment while accompanying clients operating in climate-sensitive industries in their
journey along the transition path:
• adopting a sector policy framework which takes into account both environmental and social aspects;
• defining its journey towards Net Zero on financed emissions.
On the other hand, the outside-in perspective requires a clear governance to manage any risk and all the opportunities arising from environmental
transition. At UniCredit, dedicated committees and specialised functions at management level ensure the execution of the Group strategy, correctly
managing environment and climate-related risks in line with the agreed RAF, the ECB climate stress test requirements, and the Credit/Market risk
strategies, while taking advantage of the opportunities arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy.
UniCredit group has set ambitious targets to reduce the environmental impacts of both operations and lending activities, assuming the key principle
that, as an organization, it should lead by example and by being a leader in the green transition. The Group continues to track its progresses and
disclose its results and achievements to all relevant stakeholders on a quarterly basis.

three most carbon intensive sectors within the Bank’s portfolio, which include Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Automotive sectors:
a) Oil & Gas sector - UniCredit will target a 29% reduction in its Scope 3 financed emissions, starting from a baseline of 21.4Mt CO2e in 2021;
b) Power Generation - UniCredit will target a c. 47% reduction in its exposure to Scope 1 weighted physical intensity at 111 gCO2e/kWh;
c) Automotive - UniCredit will target a c. 41% reduction in its exposure to Scope 3 “Tank To Wheel” weighted physical intensity at 95 gCO2/vkm.
In September 2022, UniCredit also signed the Sustainable Steel Principles (SSP), the first Climate- Aligned Finance agreement for lenders to the
steel industry. The principles were carefully designed over the course of a year by a working group composed of five banks, including UniCredit. The
resulting framework positions lenders to facilitate the Net-Zero transition of the steel industry, providing the necessary tools for client engagement
and advocacy.
With reference to its own operations the Group is developing the strategy to achieve the net zero on own emissions by 2030. It is raising awareness
on this fundamental goal among its employees, for example by organising dedicated workshops on Net-Zero on own emissions, involving Group
Real Estate and Group Strategy & ESG. This gathering offers colleagues an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge and insights on how to
contribute, all together, to the achievement of the Net-Zero goal, both for the Group and the planet.

UniCredit ESG Governance
In order to reach the objective of further embedding ESG criteria in the Group strategy, UniCredit's sustainability governance has undergone a
profound evolution over the past years.
The changes concern both the Board and the managerial levels of its governance.
The UniCredit Board of Directors defines the overall strategy of the Bank, which incorporates the Group's ESG Strategy, and oversees its
implementation over time. The Board approves the bank's Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) which establishes the desired risk profile vis-à-vis its
short and long-term strategic objectives and business plan. For monitoring purposes, dedicated Climate Risk KPIs have been included in the 2023
Risk Appetite Framework, enabling the Bank to oversee the evolution of transition and physical risks it is exposed to: (i) exposure to Fossil fuel
sectors (FF); (ii) % of High Transition Risk (HTR); (iii) mortgage portfolio exposed to physical risk.
These new indicators are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
The Internal Controls & Risks Committee (IC&RC) supports the Board of Directors in risk management and control-related issues: in defining and
approving strategic guidelines and risk management policies with specific reference to risk appetite and risk tolerance as well as in verifying that risk
strategies, management policies and the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) are correctly implemented.
The ESG Committee supports the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to the ESG integral components on the Group's
business strategy and sustainability.
The ESG Committee provides opinions and support to the other Board Committees to ensure the alignment of the Group's policies to UniCredit's
ESG principles and objectives. The Committee also oversees the ESG and sustainability related developments also considering international
guidelines and principles and market developments, monitoring the positioning of the Group with respect to national and international best practices
in the ESG field.
The Board of Statutory Auditors exercises oversight of ESG governance and related topics.
At management level, dedicated committees and specialised functions ensure the execution of the Group strategy, correctly managing climate-
related risks in the line with the agreed RAF while taking advantage of the business opportunities arising from the transition to a low-carbon
economy.
These functions are:
• the Group Executive Committee (GEC), the Group's most senior executive committee, chaired by the CEO;
• the Group Non-Financial Risks and Controls Committee (GNFRCC) supports the CEO in the role of steering and monitoring Non-Financial Risks;
• Group Strategy & ESG and the Group Stakeholder Engagement functions together serve as a CEO Office, dealing with all initiatives which are
critical for the CEO, such as strategy, M&A, the further integration of ESG criteria in its business, stakeholder management, and regulatory affairs;
• Group ESG, part of Group Strategy & ESG function, makes proposals towards the definition of the Group's ESG strategy to the ESG Strategy
Council and the ESG Committee, and oversees its implementation by leading the ESG Roadmap, measuring results and reporting its status of
accomplishment. It prepares the Group Integrated Report and ensures coordination in the implementation of the Principles for Responsible
Banking - UNEP FI. Group ESG, in collaboration with all the relevant functions of the Bank, is part of the Net Zero Governance, and is in charge of
the production of UniCredit climate-related financial reporting in accordance with the TCFD Recommendations.
• The Group Risk Management function supports the CEO in defining the Group Risk Appetite proposal, to be shared with the Group Executive
Committee and Internal Controls & Risks Committee and submitted for approval to the Board of Directors in parallel and coherently with the yearly
and multi-yearly budget plan pertaining to the Group Planning, Finance, Shareholding, and Investor Relations structures. In the Group Risk
Management Department, two dedicated Global Units have been created to oversee climate-related and environmental risks and climate-related
topics.
- Group Climate Risk and Risk Governance function oversees climate-related and environmental risks. It provides central steering and
coordination role to ensure alignment with ECB guidelines on climate and execution of the related plan, promotes the definition of a strategic
view on climate risk and support climate risk - related methodologies definition.
- Climate & Environmental Credit Analysis function orchestrates the integration of climate and environmental (C&E) factors into the different
dimensions and phases of the credit risk cycle (data taxonomy, strategies, process implementations, monitoring and reporting)
• On the opportunity side the Sustainable Finance Advisory Team (part of Group Client Solutions) has the role of increasing client engagement of
ESG-related topics and facilitate their access to Europe's growing sustainable finance market, combining sustainability expertise with capital
markets and loan markets capabilities; providing clients with targeted advice regarding the implementation of sustainable finance instruments;
offering a holistic and comprehensive ESG advisory approach that is a sustainable alternative to traditional finance advisory services; ensuring
that relevant transaction in the Group comply with the Equator Principles, the financial industry benchmark for determining, assessing and
managing environmental and social risk in projects.

Finally in order to support customers in seizing opportunities deriving from the ecological transition, in all the major countries in which the Group
operate dedicated teams in charge of developing and offering new ESG related products and services for corporates and individuals in line with
Group’s targets and ambitions have been set up.
UniCredit ESG Risk Management
UniCredit has set up a long-term sustainability strategy and embedding ESG factors in its risk framework. It remains committed to assessing and
managing climate and environmental risk in order to achieve three main objectives:
• meeting regulatory expectations on banks business strategy and risk management processes;
• mitigating climate-related and environmental risks;
• identifying potential opportunities for financing the climate and environmental transition.
UniCredit has undertaken several concrete initiatives to manage and supervise processes related to climate and environmental risks, and its
approach to sensitive sectors.
Regarding Transition risk:
• crucial is the evaluation of the climate and environmental risks of the single counterpart through a detailed assessment at client level when the
credit files are submitted to holding and local credit committees;
• effort has been devoted to the ECB climate stress test enabling the Group to identify exposure towards high GHG emitters;
• the PACTA methodology on December 2021 portfolio has been updated with projections up to 2026; such methodology will be replaced by Net
Zero;
• Financial and Non-Financial risk framework have been enhanced.
Regarding Physical Risk:
the Group completed an analysis of the potential damage to mortgage portfolio collaterals at Group level due to extreme and acute climate-related
events. A first, forward-looking and high-level assessment of how physical risk can impact on the overall Fair Value (focus on acute river flood and
chronic sea-level rise hazards).
Also, from a data and IT architecture point of view, the Bank is proceeding with the definition and implementation of a detailed and comprehensive
data strategy allowing to fulfil regulatory reporting and managerial steering.
Finally, it should be noted that some of the above-mentioned measurements have been included in the RAF and credit strategies processes with the
aim of further strengthening the integration of climate and environmental factors in the Risk Management Framework and underwriting processes as
well as improving portfolio monitoring.
Climate & Environmental risk assessment
In order to integrate climate and environmental risks in business strategy, correctly take them into account through all stages of the credit-granting
process and monitor this kind of risk in credit portfolio (as stated by the European Central Bank Guide on climate-related and environmental risks),
the Group has designed a Climate and Environmental Risk Assessment Questionnaire to determine clients' position on the transition pathway.
The questionnaire has been designed to assess transition risk exposure along three key dimensions: level of current exposure, level of future
vulnerability and economic impact.
Result of the C&E assessment integrates the files submitted to Credit Committees for granting decision in order to properly consider C&E factors in
Underwriting phase. In addition transition risk scores (retrieved by external providers) are translated into ad-hoc steering signals being fully
embedded in the Industry Credit Risk Strategies framework.
In so doing, UniCredit considered several topics that can lead to an increased credit risk, for example counterparties' revenues and asset value
which is subject to transitioning to a low-carbon economy or production processes that are subject to significant changes to minimise non-
atmospheric pollution.
Simultaneously, the Group is looking to seize opportunities to finance the transition of counterparties, taking into consideration the industries that
require very high investments to meet climate change goals and the EU Green Deal roadmap to meet emission targets.
Exposure towards high GHG emitters
Exposure toward NACE sectors of TOP 5 Countries selected for the ECB Climate Stress Test as having the highest GHG Intensity (> 1000 tCO2
e/m€) represents ~17% of Top 5 Countries Corporate portfolio. Exposures are well differentiated among industries with relatively higher
concentration in Electricity & Gas supply and manufacturing of basic metals. The UniCredit ESG Strategy is to evaluate and support the climate
transition of counterparties with reliable plans.

reported to ECB in the Climate Stress Test exercise.
From PACTA to Net Zero
We started to conduct the road-test PACTA for banks methodology developed by 2dii in 2020. This activity allowed us to measure the alignment of
our lending portfolio with a set of climate scenarios considering several levels of ambition measured in relation to the increase in global temperature.
After joining Net-Zero Banking Alliance, we set up a working group to disclose targets on our priority sectors and monitor our decarbonization
trajectory. In this context, we considered the most updated and reliable methodology available for each sector, moving beyond PACTA.
Sector Policies
Environmental and social risk assessments are guided by Group environmental, social, operational, and reputational risk sector policies as well as
by human rights commitment. When possible, the Equator Principles (EP) also apply. The following polices/commitments are in place:
Mining sector

We intend to review and, if necessary, set up policies in other sensitive ESG sectors. This will be done on the basis of our
portfolio analysis and with the support of scientific experts in order to address such topics from a factual and impact-
based perspective and based on our principle of doing the right thing and finding a good social and environmental
balance.

Financial risk management
Regarding financial risks (Market Risk, Liquidity Risk and Counterparty Credit Risk) several concrete initiatives have been launched to integrate
Climate & Environmental risk into the financial risk management framework. Find below the key pillars of the approach followed:
a) An overall methodological approach for inclusion of Climate & Environmental drivers within Financial Risk framework have been defined also
leveraging on the combination of the assessment methodologies the Bank is currently applying;
b) The assessment of Climate & Environmental drivers is included in the process for evaluating of new financial products for which the Legal Entities
have also to verify if any Climate & Environmental risk is embedded in the payoff/structure of the product and ensure the consistency with Group
ESG strategy by involving the local competent function if needed;
c) Enhancement of monthly reporting and monitoring framework through the inclusion of Physical and Transition risks for Financial Risk relevant
perimeter and inclusion of Market- and Counterparty Credit Risk Stress Tests
The outcomes of concentration analyses and stress scenarios suggests a limited materiality of climate & environmental drivers on market risk
exposures.
Physical risk assessment
Physical risk typically affects credit risk and operational risk. More specifically:
Credit Risk:
UniCredit has already developed a methodology to estimate the potential actual annual deterioration of the fair value (FV) of the collaterals behind
the mortgage portfolio. The approach envisages:
• the identification of key acute physical risks impacting the Bank's geographies at postal code/municipalities level;
• the quantification of the potential damage of the collaterals located in critical sites (i.e. high physical risk areas);
• the evaluation of the percentage of fair value potentially damaged by the event.
Current estimates highlight limited impact at approximately 0.1% of FV.
Operational Risk:
Operational risks, regarding for the most part data center operations and business continuity plans, must also be considered. The Group has
endeavored over the past years to decrease energy consumption in data centers and build resilience by anticipating and preparing for any adverse
events, mainly cybercrime, by preventing data leakage and guaranteeing business continuity.
The accurate analysis performed has led to conclude that business continuity processes of UniCredit group are not affected by physical change in
weather patterns or other chronic, climate related, environmental changes.
Data Retrieval Strategy
UniCredit is designing a global framework for ESG information that will be a key enabler for compliance to Regulatory Disclosure needs as well as
for accelerating Risk Management and Business Steering, with a view to doing everything necessary to collect the following information:
1. EU Taxonomy Information: all environmental information needed to determine whether a counterparty/transaction is EU taxonomy eligible/
aligned;
2. Other KPIs: all other environmental KPIs required by the regulator related to disclosure requirements and useful also for business/risk needs
(GHG emissions, energy efficiency data, top 20 polluters, transition risk and physical risk score).
In particular, in order to determine whether a transaction/counterparty is EU Taxonomy eligible and aligned, a careful assessment has to be made,
starting from all the technical screening criteria of the EU taxonomy to the study of Delegated Acts. Approaching the issue in a granular way is
however very onerous since the necessary information is not available at this moment and should be requested from clients, which would have a
considerable impact on the network and lending processes. In order to find a balance between a granular approach and an impact on origination
processes, we have defined a data recovery strategy that mixes the different approaches.
The data retrieval strategy proposal leverages both external providers and client interviews, taking into account the trade-off between accuracy on
ESG KPIs vs impact on origination processes. It is therefore necessary to define a feasible approach (external provider or questionnaire to collect
information from the client at origination phase) to information retrieval that considers the following drivers: stock and flow exposure, loan purpose,
economic sector, counterparty sizing.
It has to be flexible over time, taking into account the evolution of both regulations and bank experience.
Three possible types of data strategy have been designed:
1. Customer Survey at transaction level: Granular KPIs to be requested from clients through specific questionnaires at origination;
2. NFRD Disclosure at counterparty level: Quota of client's KPIs (CapEx, OpEx and Turnover) aligned with the EU Taxonomy as reported in the non-
financial information disclosure (NFRD) gathered by providers and then to be applied to compute counterparty's sustainable exposure to UniCredit;
3. Algorithm at cluster level: Cluster data retrieved and/or elaborated by providers leveraging geographical and/or sectorial logics and algorithm, then
to be applied to compute the counterparty's.

5. Cyber security risk
Along with the continuous digitalization 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, threat even more worthy of attention due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
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 did not suffer any cyber-attack in 2022 leading to theft of data; in the past years UniCredit group have been subject to cyber-attacks
which led, even though only in a few limited cases, to the theft of data; taking into account the type of risks detected, UniCredit carried out a wide
and in-depth assessment of the effects that may derive also for financial statements purposes. To address cyber risks, UniCredit continuously
enhances its cyber security program aiming at further strengthening the security controls.
6. Developments in the regulatory framework
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 27 March 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 3 standards. In particular the implementation date of the Basel 3 standards finalised in December
2017 and January 2019 (credit risk, operational risk, output floor and market risk) has been deferred by one year to 1 January 2023;
• the EU Commission, published on 27 October 2021 the Banking Package 2021, which includes the proposals for the final implementation of Basel
3 in the European Union through a legislative package (i.e., the Banking Package) introducing amendments to Capital Requirements Regulation
2013/575/EU (CRR), to the Directive 2013/36/UE (Capital Requirements Directive), and also a proposal to amend the Capital Requirements
Regulation in the area of resolution (the so-called “daisy chain” proposal).
Differently from the Basel Committee, the Commission’s proposal provides for a date of entry in force of the reforms starting from 1 January 2025.
The proposal shows that the Commission has taken into account some important European specificities that might mitigate the impact on the
sector. In addition to the implementation of the Basel standards, part of the legislative package also aims to strengthen the resilience of the
banking sector to environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. The proposal is now being examined by the European Parliament and the
Council (27 Member States), which, respectively, will work on possible changes before agreeing on a common text (so-called Trilogue phase with
the mediation of the Commission).
The approval of the final text and the publication in the Official Journal will conclude the legislative process;
• 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. The Guidelines 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 3 framework. 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 has been in force for some time now, the NSFR has been introduced as a requirement in the CRR2 published in June 2019 and applied since
June 2021
• TLAC/MREL introduction: the 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 recapitalise 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;

• The EBA announced, in July 2022, that a new stress test exercise will be launched in January 2023 aiming to assess the resilience of EU banks to
a common set of negative economic shocks. The results will be published by the end of July 2023.
• 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 risks’ management and supervision, resulting in a final report
published in June 2021. Further EBA Guidelines are expected in 2022;
- the ECB conducted the Stress Test exercise in 2022 exclusively regarding Climate Risks, with the aim of evaluating the exposure of the Euro
Area financial sector to natural disasters (floods or episodes of intense drought and heat) and to a faster-than-expected ecological transition (e.g.
rapid increase in the price of CO2 from 2022). The results of the Stress Test has been integrated into the 2022 Supervisory Review and
Evaluation Process (SREP) letter as a qualitative evaluation and will not have quantitative impact on the P2R;
- the European Commission in the proposal for amendments to the Regulation on Capital Requirements 2013/575//EU (CRR) published in the
Banking Package 2021 has brought forward to 2023 the deadline by which the EBA must deliver its report on the prudential treatment of ESG
exposures;
- On 30 November 2022, the EU Commission adopted the European Banking Authority (EBA) implementing technical standards on Pillar 3 which
requires large credit institutions with securities traded on any regulated market of an EU Member State to disclose information on Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) risks. The new rules aim to ensure comparable quantitative disclosures on climate change risks, including
transition and physical risks, as well as qualitative disclosure regarding the inclusion of ESG factors into banks’ governance and business
strategies and foreseen a phase-in period for disclosing information as follows: i) from January 2023, with reference data as of 31 December
2022, banks must disclose qualitative info on ESG risks and information related with the credit quality of their exposures; ii) from January 2024
the exposures towards EU counterparties and households on Taxonomy-aligned activities that are contributing to environmental objectives
(Green Asset Ratio), while from January 2025, on a voluntary basis, the exposures towards non-EU counterparties and SMEs (Banking Book
Taxonomy Alignment Ratio); and iii) Scope 3 emissions (financed greenhouse gas emissions associated with banks’ investment and lending
activities to counterparties) from June 2024.

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 the different businesses;
- 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 target of 12.5-13 per cent, as announced during the “UniCredit Unlocked” Strategy Day
held on 9 December 2021 (https://www.unicreditgroup.eu/content/dam/unicreditgroup-eu/documents/en/Strategy-day/UniCredit_2021_Strategy-
Day_PR_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, TLAC, MREL and Leverage Ratio), 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 Parent
Company 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; in
addition, it is clarified that the disclosure should include, among others, 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.
Also for the management of related-party transactions refer to the discipline established by Consob Regulation No.17221/2010 as subsequently
amended by Resolution No.21624 of 10 December 2020 (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 CBA79 (Consolidated Banking Act)”, 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 executed by UniCredit, including those
conducted through subsidiaries, with related parties, considering the specificities of the provisions mentioned above, 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.
The Board of Directors set up the Related Parties Committee, in compliance with CONSOB regulatory provisions and the Banca d’Italia’s
supervisory regulations, consisting only of independent Directors pursuant to the Italian 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 CBA79”.
During 2022, 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 (€7 million), Statutory Auditors (€1 million) and other Managers with
strategic responsibilities (€17 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 “2022 Group Remuneration Policy”, and about €13 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 decrease compared to fiscal year 2021, mainly related to: (i) the lower payment of compensation related
to the termination of employment during the year; (ii) the fact that the 2021 costs had been exceptionally affected by the need to recognise in Profit
and Loss, in accordance with international accounting standards, the entire amount of the Share Award that had been assigned to the CEO upon his
hiring.

Part H - Related-party transactions
With reference to the main related-party transactions, it is worth to note the following considerations:
• starting from 2012 the subsidiary UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. (UCS) 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 UCS 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 UCS 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, UCS
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
effectiveness from 1 January 2020, with the extension of the term of the 3-year contract until 2029. It should be noted that starting from 1 October
2022 with effectiveness starting from 1 January 2022, UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. (UCS) has been merged in UniCredit S.p.A. and the latter has
become entitled to the contracts mentioned above.
The services provided to UniCredit group by the abovementioned companies result in an exchange of fees (administrative costs).
• 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. 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 2022, UniCredit and Allianz have signed a multi-country framework agreement setting the basis for enhanced collaboration. With specific focus
on Italy, the agreement mainly involves: (i) the renewal of the current arrangements both in the life and non-life businesses to 2027, (ii) full access
to Allianz's products, (iii) support in developing an integrated platform and service model and (iv) enhancement of training and increased marketing
support. In Germany, the agreement includes further initiatives to strengthen digital bancassurance and marketing.
• in 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. has also purchased from Allianz SE the 11.72 percent stake in Zagrebačka Banka while Allianz Holding EINS GmbH has
acquired the 16.84 percent minority stake held by Zagrebačka banka in the Croatian insurance company, Allianz Hrvatska
• It should be noted that distribution agreements concerning insurance products were signed with the following associates:
- CNP UniCredit Vita S.p.A.;
- UniCredit Allianz Assicurazioni S.p.A.;
- UniCredit Allianz Vita S.p.A.;

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 of Group subsidiaries include the following category:
• Equity-Settled Share Based Payments, which provide for the delivery of shares.
This category includes the following grants of:
• 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 UniCredit
ordinary shares, to be paid over a period of ranging from 1 to 7 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 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 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 Banca d’Italia 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;
• Share Award 2021 that regards CEO’s remuneration. In order to foster the alignment with the shareholders from the start, and in lieu of the ability
to set KPIs given his mandate to elaborate a new strategic plan, the Board of Directors approved for 2021 a one-off share-based award. The
proposed remuneration structure for 2021 is strictly linked to the first year of the mandate. From 2022 onwards a mix of performance based long-
term and short-term incentives will be applied to the CEO.
It is also noted that, according to Banca d’Italia Circular 285 (as of 17th December 2013 and subsequent updates concerning “Remuneration and
incentive policies and practices”), 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 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.

Organisational structure
The organizational structure of the Group is divided into geographical areas as follows:
• Italy;
• Germany;
• Central Europe (including Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia);
• Eastern Europe (including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia);
• Russia.
Starting from the first quarter of 2022, the Group's organizational structure has been updated by isolating activities in Russia and cross-border
exposure booked in UniCredit Spa towards this country in a specific segment of Segment Reporting. In addition to Russia, also Central Europe and
Eastern Europe includes cross-border exposure booked in UniCredit S.p.A.
This organization ensures Country and local Banks autonomy on specific activities granting proximity to the customers (for all client segment, Retail
and Corporate) and efficient decisional processes.
All standalone geographies of the Group have dedicated support functions such as: People and Culture, Finance, Digital & Information Office, and
Operations. In addition, Compliance, Legal and Risk have established specific regional departments.
Alongside the new five geographical areas there are Group Corporate Centre with the objective 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; it also includes the
Group’s Legal Entities that are going to be dismissed.
Non Core, reported till full year 2021 date of its complete runoff, included non-strategic Italian assets and those with a poor fit to the Group’s risk-
adjusted return framework.
The Segment Reporting has been re-shaped according to the Group organization

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;
• 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, 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.
Quantitative information
The book value of the rights of use arising from lease contracts are exposed in the paragraph “Section 9 - Property, plant and equipment - Item 90”,
Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets.
During the year, these rights of use resulted in the recognition of depreciations for €311.3 million of which:
• €0.6 million relating to land;
• €304.1 million relating to buildings;
• €1.2 million relating to electronic systems;
• €5.4 million relating to the category other (e.g., cars).
In addition, impairment (net of reversal) for €18 million has been booked.
With reference to lease liabilities, the related book value is shown in the paragraph “Section 1 - Financial liabilities at amortised cost - Item 10”,
Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part B - Consolidated balance sheet, Liabilities.
During the year, these lease liabilities led to the recognition of interest expenses shown in the paragraph “Section 1 - Interests - Items 10 and 20”,
Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part C - Consolidated income statement.
With reference to short-term leases and leases of low value assets, it should be noted that during the year, rentals were accounted for €92.6 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 €0.4 million during the year if
classified as financial leases and other operating income for €2.3 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.

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the UniCredit Group (the “group”), which
comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the income statement and the statements of
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto,
which include a summary of the significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of
the UniCredit Group as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the
European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and
article 43 of 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 “Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit
of the consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of UniCredit S.p.A.
(the “parent”) in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to
audits of 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 judgement, were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Classification and measurement of loans and receivables with customers recognised under
financial assets at amortised cost
Notes to the consolidated accounts “Part A - Accounting policies”: paragraph A.2.3 “Financial assets at
amortised cost”
Notes to the consolidated accounts “Part B - Consolidated balance sheet - Assets”: section 4 “Financial
assets at amortised cost”

Key audit matter
Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter
Lending to customers is one of the group’s core
activities. Loans and receivables with customers
recognised under financial assets at amortised cost
totalled €524,865 million at 31 December 2022,
accounting for 61% of total assets.
Net impairment losses on loans and receivables with
customers recognised in profit or loss during the year
totalled €1,950 million.
For classification purposes, the directors make
analyses that are sometimes complex in order to
identify those positions that show evidence of
impairment after disbursement. To this end, they
consider both internal information about the
performance of exposures and external information
about the reference sector or the borrowers’ overall
exposure to banks.
Measuring loans and receivables with customers is a
complex activity, with a high degree of uncertainty and
subjectivity, with respect to which the directors apply
internal valuation models that consider many
quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical
collection flows, expected cash flows and related
estimated collection dates, the existence of any
indicators of impairment, an assessment of any
guarantees, the impact of macroeconomic variables,
future scenarios and risks of the sectors in which the
parent’s and the group companies’ customers operate.
The complexity of the directors’ estimation process has
increased as a result of the geopolitical uncertainties
caused by the conflict in Ukraine and the persisting
Covid-19 emergency in 2022. These uncertainties have
severely worsened current economic conditions and
the outlook for future macroeconomic scenarios and
have had a strong impact on the energy market, supply
chains, inflationary pressure and its effect on monetary
policies, leading central banks to raise interest rates in
Our audit procedures included:
• gaining an understanding of the parent’s and group
companies’ processes and IT environments in
relation to the disbursement, monitoring,
classification and measurement of loans and
receivables with customers;
• assessing the design and implementation of
controls and performing procedures to assess the
operating effectiveness of material controls,
especially in relation to the identification of
exposures with indicators of impairment and the
calculation of impairment losses;
• analysing the classification criteria used for
allocating loans and receivables with customers to
the IFRS 9 categories (staging);
• analysing the individual and collective impairment
assessment policies and models used and
checking the reasonableness of the main
assumptions and variables included therein, as
well as the adjustments made as a result of the
financial effects of the geopolitical situation caused
by the conflict in Ukraine and the persisting Covid-
19 pandemic. We carried out these procedures
with the assistance of experts of the KPMG
network;

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to that disclosed by the directors in the “Reclassification
of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and UniCredit Leasing GmbH out of non-current assets held for sale” note of
Part A, section 5 of the consolidated financial statements about the restatement of certain 2021
comparative figures compared to the figures presented in the consolidated financial statements at 31
December 2021, following the discontinuance of the process for the disposal of the two subsidiaries. We
checked the methods used to restate the prior year comparative figures and related disclosures included
in the notes for the purposes of preparing this report.
The group’s 2021 consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors, who expressed their
unqualified opinion thereon on 11 March 2022.
Responsibilities of the parent’s directors and board of statutory auditors (“Collegio
Sindacale”) 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European
Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and article 43 of
Legislative decree no. 136/15 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal
control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and for the
appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless
4

the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the parent or ceasing operations exist, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the
group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’
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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism 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 the directors’ 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.

Annex 3 - Securitisations - qualitative tables
ORIGINATOR: UniCredit S.p.A.
Traditional securitisations of Performing and Non-Performing loans
STRATEGIES,
PROCESSES AND
GOALS:
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 of medium and long-term through the disposal of existing "Performing" and "Non-Performing" loan portfolios and also creating eligible
securities for refinancing operations with the ECB and/or with third parties (counterbalancing capacity).
The main advantages of the transactions can be summarised as follows:
- risk weighted assets optimitation and ROAC improving;
- 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.
INTERNAL
MEASUREMENT AND
RISK MONITORING
SYSTEMS:
UniCredit S.p.A. acts as "Servicer" for almost all transactions concerned for which is Originator. As per the agreements entered into with issuing
companies (special purpose vehicles - SPV), servicing consists of performing, on behalf of these companies, administrative, collection and
securitised loan collection 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 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).
ORGANISATIONAL
STRUCTURE AND
SYSTEM FOR
REPORTING TO
SENIOR MANAGEMENT:
HEDGING POLICIES:
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.
From a strategic point of view, Finance Italy is responsible for central coordination. In this context, the above structure plays:
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
conducting transactions, cooperating with all the other departments (Planning & Control Italy, Group Risk Management, Group M&A and Corporate
Develpment ecc) in identifying the 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 Contingency Funding Plan, approved by the Board of Directors, in the ordinary plan of creating
counterbalancing capacity, as well as in organisational 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 Accounting Italy 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, Finance Italy , ecc.) and the Group. 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.
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 2022, 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 securitized
portfolios underlying operations "Femo 1" and "Cordusio 3" did not result in significant additional economic impacts.

STRATEGIES, PROCESSES AND
GOALS:
INTERNAL MEASUREMENT AND RISK
MONITORING SYSTEMS:
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.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:
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.
HEDGING POLICIES:
There are no risk hedging derivatives.
OPERATING RESULTS:
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.

HEDGING POLICIES:
OPERATING RESULTS:
UniCredit S.p.A., through the transfer of its non-performing exposures to SPV pursuant to 130 Law on
securitization, has set itself the objective of reducing the stock of Non Performing Exposures, 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
or delegated internal commitees. 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.

STRATEGIES, PROCESSES AND GOALS:

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM FOR REPORTING TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT:
HEDGING POLICIES:
OPERATING RESULTS:
These initiatives are part of the Group strategic guidelines, which has, among its objectives, the
optimization of risk-weighted average assets and improving ROAC also through the accounting
derecognition of the assets securitized
The portfolio of the securitization transaction is subject to continuous monitoring by third parties with
respect to the bank and quarterly reports are prepared as envisaged by the contractual
documentation of the transaction, with evidence of the status of the receivables and the trend of the
collections. Furthermore UniCredit S.p.A. performs the role of "Sub Servicer" in charge of the
administration and collections activities of securitized loans, as well as the management of any
procedures for the recovery of non-performing loans. Finally UniCredit S.p.A. underwrites and
maintains, in accordance with the retention rule, at least 5% of each securitized loan, thus directly
monitoring their performance.
Although the securitized portfolio has been derecognised from the balance sheet, UniCredit
constantly monitors the securitized portfolio and therefore its own investment in the senior note
through the management of securitized portfolio collections through the same structures that
manage the own portfolio and continuing to directly manage the portfolio not sold in order to
maintain the net economic interest required by law. In this context, it ensures adequate overall
monitoring of the portfolio also in favor of Top Management.
There is no interest rate swap agreement in charge since this was not requested by the investor.
The economic results achieved by the transaction are substantially in line with the expectations
subject to the relative initial approvals

Consolidated financial statements | Annexes
Annex 3 - Securitisations - qualitative tables
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 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.

Financial guarantee issued by EIF
-
-
-
The structure of the transaction encompasses a senior and a junior tranche, the latter being fully
covered by an unfunded Financial Guarantee provided by the EIF (being a 0% risk-weighted entity, no
cash or collateral is required under the Financial Guarantee). As of closing date Junior tranche is 9%
and Senior is 91% of the underlying portfolio.
For the purposes of the Regulatory Requirements, the Bank is the Originator of the Reference Portfolio.
As such, the Bank will retain, on an unhedged and unguaranteed basis, an exposure to each loan in the
Reference Portfolio which will be at all times at least 5% of the notional amount of the Initial portfolio
and which will not benefit from any of the Guarantee (the “Retained Exposure Amount”) in compliance
with Art. 6(3)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402.

UniCredit S.p.A., by selling its loans to the fund, aims to facilitate companies classified as
"unlikely to pay" to improve their strategic positioning in their relevant industrial sector.
Once the loans have been sold to the fund and UniCredit S.p.A. become a holder of Fund's
units, the bank no longer has a role in managing the debtor, remaining a financial investor
with no possibility of governance and management interference.
UniCredit S.p.A. has all the risks arising from the performance of the fund's units and
therefore from the management of the assets performed by the asset manager.
UniCredit 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.

quarter 2022 figures have been restated.

Revenue
At 31 December 2022 Revenues totalled €9,915 million, up €366 million (+3.8%) on the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable to the
increase of Net Interest (+€658million) and Dividends (+€556 million), partially offset by the decrease in Trading income (-€475 million) and Other
expenses/income (-€342million).
Net interest at December 2022 amounted to €3,829 million, up 20.8% (€658 million) compared to the previous year. Russia contributed to Net
Interest for €45 million (-€4 million versus 2021).
Net of Russia, Net Interest amounted to €3,784 million with an increase of €662 million compared to previous year. This growth was supported by
the trend in market rates, whose increase brought a benefit, mainly in the second half of the year.
To be reported moreover the positive impact on Net Interest of the year produced by TLTRO, in particular connected to the accounting loan
derecognition, following the revision of the conditions applied by the European Central Bank communicated on 27 October 2022 consequent to the
changed market conditions
For additional details reference is made to the Section 4-Other aspects, TLTRO, Notes to the accounts. Part A- Accounting section.
The average customer loans interest rates recorded overall an increase versus 2021. The growth, more evident in second half, was related mainly to
short term loans, household mortgages and loans to enterprises, for which increase in the second half was also influenced by the maturity of state
guarantees loans provided by Covid-19 measures.
Average interest rates on deposits began to show a slight increase in the last quarter, in particular for corporate customers, starting to accrue
interest expense for the Bank.
The particular trend in market interest rates, which went from negative to positive in 2022, led to the elimination of the liquidity fee (“Excess Liquidity
Fee”) deposited mainly by Corporate and Large Corporate customers and the simultaneous repricing of deposits from the second half.
During the year, the Bank executed its medium/long term Financial Plan adopting the usual approach of using a variety
structures/currencies/maturities to avoid concentration risk and to benefit a large degree of name recognition with Investors.
For additional details reference is made to the paragraph “Other information on Group activities” of Consolidated annual report.
Dividends recorded in 2022 totalled €1,404 million, up €556 million (+65,6%) compared to previous year. This trend is mainly explained by the
restrictions on the distribution of dividends imposed in 2021 on banks in the CEE area (mainly Zagrebacka Banka d.d., UniCredit Bulbank AD,
UniCredit Bank Hungary Zrt) due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

security.Current accounts, loans and credit commitments grew (+52 million), collection and payment services (+33 million) driven by higher volumes
activities, currency negotiation and service transactions with foreign countries (+ 37 million).

Loan Loss Provisions (“LLPs”)
At December 2022 Loan Loss Provisions (LLPs) sum up to -€1.055 million, up €77 million (+7,9%) in respect of previous year. Net of Russia, LLPs
amounted to €-379 million, in reduction of €592 million compared to the previous year.
This trend was mainly affected by conflict between Russia and Ukraine which resulted in loan loss provisions in 2022 of -€676 million in Russia,
while the other segments recorded an amount equal to -€379million in reduction versus previous year of 592 million.
With reference to Russia, the total amount derives from the following actions:
• in the first quarter 2022 €1.004 million of LLPs mainly driven by the interventions put in place to face the crisis:
• (i) updating of the macroeconomic scenario on the basis of internal projections prepared by UniCredit Research, which in mid-March 2022 saw a
significant reduction in GDP in 2022 and 2023 combined with an increase in interest rates in 2022 (ii) classification of credit exposures in Stage 2,
combined with the effect induced by downgrade of the Russian sovereign rating and (iii) application to Cross Border exposures of an average
coverage of about 30%;
• following 2022 quarters, recoveries of €328 million deriving from recoveries on certain debtors and from the positive impact of some operations
related to the decrease of the exposure with Russian counterparties, which more than offset the further update of the macroeconomic scenario as
part of the ordinary process in order to adapt the related LLPs the updated economic projections.
With regard to the other segments, the amount of LLPs in 2022 amounted to 379 million and were mainly determined by the combined effect of the
following events: (i) the introduction of management overlays in the calculation of the expected credit loss, at the light of the persistent uncertainty
linked to the overall geopolitical situation, in particular related to energy-intensive sectors and to Corporate and Individuals, most impacted by the
growth of inflation and interest rate, (ii) release of the residual overlays connected to the Covid-19 pandemic event, in consideration of the
progressive weakening of the economic impacts connected to this event, (iii) IFRS9 macroeconomics scenarios update, (iv) by the favorable
dynamics of problem loan portfolios mainly linked to recoveries and low default flows.
Cost of Risk in 2022 was 54 basis points. Excluding Russia, Cost of Risk was 20 basis point, in reduction versus 50 basis points of 2021.
For more details on the actions taken to address the current macroeconomic scenario both with reference to direct risks to Russian exposures and
indirect risks, please refer to Section 4- Other aspects, Notes to the accounts, Part A- Accounting policies, A.1 General.
For more details on measurement methods for expected losses reference is made to the paragraph 2.3 Measurement methods for expected losses,

Performing loans (€167,266 million at 31 December 2022) included €865 million due to 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 2022 the aforementioned receivables from Special Purpose Vehicle (S.P.V.) decreased by €42 million compared to 31 December 2021
related to the normal management of securitisation transactions.
Reverse repos, whose performance are strictly linked to liquidity management, amounted to €22,119 million at 31 December 2022 (€16,580 million
at the end of 2021), 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 2022 amounted to €2,574 million and came to 1.3% of the total amount of loans to customers. They mainly
referred to the business segment.
The decrease of -€1,207 million (-31.9% in comparison to €3,781 million at the end of December 2021) is mainly due to the intense activity of the
Bank aimed to reduce impaired credit exposures operated through disposal operations.
Credit quality
As at 31 December 2022, the gross book value (GBV) of the Non-Performing Exposures (NPE) amounts to €4,956 million, representing 2.5% of total
GBV loans to customers (down from 4.4% at year-end 2021). The decrease is mainly due to sales operations carried out during the first half of the
year both on loans classified as bad exposures and on loans classified as unlikely to pay.
The ratio of bad exposures loans (GBV) amounted to 0.4% of total loans to customers (1.1% at 31 December 2021) loans classified as unlikely to
pay amounted to 1.9% of total loans (3.0% at 31 December 2021), while impaired past due exposures amounted to 0.23% of total loans (0.26% at
31 December 2021).
The coverage ratio of impaired loans (specific write-downs to face value) came to around 48.1%, down on the 56.4% figure recorded at 31
December 2021, in detail the coverage ratio is equal to 73.3% for bad exposures loans, 45.0% for loans classified as unlikely to pay and 25.8% for
impaired past due exposures.
Performing loans, which amounted to €192,099 million at GBV (€189,436 million at 31 December 2021), were written down, at 31 December 2022,
by a total of €2,714 million, with a coverage ratio of 1.41% (including written down in the Russian segment net of which the coverage ratio stands at
1.16%) (1.24% at 31 December 2021).

Therefore, overall, total Loans to customers at 31 December 2022 stood at €197,055 million, with value adjustments of €5,096 million taking the
general level of coverage for Loans to Customers to 2.6% (3.7% at 31 December 2021).
The overall reduction in the coverage ratio is mainly due to the decrease in the incidence of non-performing loans on the total aggregate of Loans to
customers, the effect of which was partly offset by the increase in adjustments made on the Russia segment.
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 (bad exposures loans and unlikely-to-pay loans) and Prelios Credit Servicing Spa, a company
specializing in the management of unlikely to pay loans.

• financial assets mandatory at fair value are mainly composed by units in investment funds (€1,567 million) and bonds (€2,579 million), whose
changes in respect of December 2021 are mainly originated by the combination of buy/sell and maturities dynamic and fair value evaluation.
Equity investments reduce by €695 million mainly due to La Villata S.p.A. and Yapi Ve Kredi Bankasi A.S. sales;
• financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income included €25,879 million in debt (decreased by €9,377 million primarily due to
government and bank bonds) and €1,042 million in equity interests that have undergone an annual decrease of €166 million, mainly attributable to:
- reduction of Banca d’Italia quotes (-€179 million);
- fair value changes, of which ABH Holding (€18 million);
• debt securities and loans at amortised cost mainly include (i) government and bank securities, 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 (no more including UniCredit Services S.C.p.A., Cordusio SIM and Crivelli S.R.L., merged into UniCredit S.p.A. e
CNP Vita Assicura S.p.A. that has been sold) include UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. after the decision not to proceed to its sale (fact that has conducted
to its reclassification from assets held for sale) and increased mainly driven by the combined effects arising from:
- the write-downs of the investment, of which: UniCredit Bank Austria AG (-€988 million), AO UniCredit Bank (-€939 million), Nuova Compagnia di
Partecipazioni S.p.A. (-€4 million), UniCredit Turn Around Management Cee Gmbh (-€2 million), Maccorp Italiana S.p.A. (-€2 million);

Interbank position
The Bank recorded, under its financial activities, a net interbank position at the end of 2022 of assets (€17,008 million) and liabilities (€74,606
million) equal to -€57,598 million. Compared with the corresponding figures at the end of 2021 (net equal to -€59,547 million), the balance showed a
slight decrease in the net liabilities of €1,949 million due to the combined effect of the higher reduction of Deposits from banks (-€11,652 million)
than the one of Loans and receivables with banks (-€9,703 million).
In this regard, the Deposits from banks dynamics includes the decrease in the participation to TLTRO, from a nominal of €56,420 million at the end
of 2021 to a nominal of €48,420 million at the end of 2022, following the prepayment of €8,000 million finalized in December 2022.

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).
The negative change with respect to 31 December 2020 equal to €3,779 million on Common Equity Tier 1 Capital mainly reflects: (i) the negative
effect of the deduction for €2,580 million connected to the “Share Buy-Back Programme 2021”; (ii) the higher deduction for €1,188 million on
software assets due to the merge of UniCredit Services into UniCredit S.p.A.; (iii) the higher deduction for €636 million on deferred tax assets that
rely on future profitability and do not arise from temporary differences, resulting from the Deferred Tax Assets sustainability test related to tax losses
carry forward (TLCF) carried out in the fourth quarter 2022; partially offset by (iv) the profit of 2022 (equal to €3,107 million), net of dividends (equal
to €1,932, that include also €25 million of social, cultural and charity initiatives), computed for €1,175 million.
With reference to the Total Own Funds, the negative change with respect to 31 December 2021, equal to €3,657 million, in addition to the effects on
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, reflects positive effects for €122 million mainly due to: (i) the positive impact for €758 million related to the disposal of
the residual 18% of the stake in Yapı ve Kredi Bankası A.S. that implies the reclassification of the counterparty as “not significant financial sector
entity”, therefore the subordinated instruments issued by Yapi Ve Kredi Bankası A.S. and held by UniCredit S.p.A. are not directly deducted
anymore from the Own Funds, but are reclassified among the instruments issued by not significant financial sector entity, whose total amount does
not exceed the 10% regulatory threshold of the CET1; (ii) the negative effect on Additional Tier 1 Capital due to the early redemption of the Capital
instrument XS1539597499 (computable amount equal to €495 million); (iii) the negative effect on Tier 2 Capital due to the maturity of the instrument
XS0849517650 (computable amount €247 million) and (iv) other positive impacts for €0.1 billion mainly driven by combined effects of exchange
rates and regulatory amortization of Capital instruments.
• The individual net profit as of 31 December 2022 is equal to €3,107 million.
• The dividend policy communicated with the plan “UniCredit Unlocked” envisages, from 2022, a 35% cash pay-out ratio applied to the definition of
Net Profit introduced with the plan. In this respect, Net Profit means Stated Net Profit (i.e. accounting net profit) adjusted for AT1, Cashes coupon
and impacts from DTAs from tax loss carry forward sustainability test.
• As per first quarter 2022 decision, considering the extraordinary nature of the geopolitical events, the 35% cash pay-out ratio is calculated on the
Net Profit excluding Russia segment contribution. Being the latter equal to €5,447 million for 2022, the 35% corresponds to cash dividends of
€1,907 million. In addition, €25 million has been destinated to social, cultural and charity initiatives.
• Thus, considering the 2022 accrued Group foreseeable charges (€1,932 million, that include also the social, cultural and charity initiatives) to
reduce the individual net profit (€3,107 million), a positive amount for €1,175 million is reported in the individual Own Funds.

Results of the year
Treasury shares
The 2022-2024 Strategic Plan (“UniCredit Unlocked”) presented to the market on 9 December 2021 set among the objectives a shareholders’
distribution to be implemented in part through treasury share buyback programmes with the with the aim to ensure higher and progressively growing
remuneration over the course of the plan.
In this context the Company's Shareholders' Meeting held on 8 April 2022 authorized the execution of a purchase program for UniCredit ordinary
shares as a part of the distribution to the shareholders for the year 2021, executable in more tranches for a total maximum expenditure of €2,580
million. The Shareholders' Meeting at the same time approved in an extraordinary session the subsequent cancellation of treasury shares with no
reduction of share capital but exclusively through a reduction in the number of existing shares and with a consequent increase in their accounting
par value of the shares issued by the Company.
The first tranche of purchases of UniCredit ordinary shares (the “First Tranche of the 2021 Buy-Back Programme”), authorized by the ECB on 3 May
2022, was launched on 11 May 2022 and completed on 14 July 2022 with the purchase of No.162,185,721 shares for a total consideration equal to
the maximum disbursement authorized (€1,580 million). The shares purchased with the first tranche of the buyback were cancelled on 19 July 2022,
date of filing at the Company Register of the resolution of cancellation.
For the implementation of the second tranche of purchases ("Second Tranche of the 2021 Buy-Back Program"), considering the evolution of the
price of UniCredit’s share in the execution period, the Shareholders' Meeting on 14 September 2022 updated and integrated the previous
authorization of 8 April 2022, to increase the maximum number of shares to be purchased with the residual amount available (1,000 million) on the
maximum total expenditure authorised (2,580 million). The transaction, priorly authorized by the ECB on 30 August 2022, was launched on 21
September 2022 and concluded on 30 November 2022 with the purchase of No.86,949,149 shares for a total consideration equivalent to the
residual maximum expenditure amount.
The shares purchased with the second tranche of the buyback were cancelled on 14 December 2022, date of filing at the Company Register of the
resolution of cancellation.
It should also be noted that during the first quarter of 2022 the "Second Buy-Back Programme" launched in December 2021 with reference to the
distribution for the year 2020 was completed with the purchase of No.33,487,579 UniCredit ordinary shares for a total consideration of €452 million
equal to the residual availability on the maximum amount authorized by the Shareholders' Meeting of 15 April 2021 (€651 million). The total shares
purchased under this program (No.48,536,221) were canceled on 2 March 2022, including the shares purchased and outstanding at year end 2021.
As of 31 December 2022, following the purchase and cancellation operations carried out during the year, there are no treasury shares in the
portfolio.

the accounts, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 - General, in the context of valuation choices performed by the Bank as of 31 December 2022.
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. The schemes and Notes of the “Company financial statements as at 31 December 2022” are in line with Banca
d’Italia templates as prescribed by Circular 262 dated 22 December 2005 (and subsequent amendments) as well as 21 December 2021
communication on impacts of Covid-19 and measures to support the economy, and they present comparative figures, as at 31 December 2021.
More specifically, 2021 comparative figures have been recasted, when relevant, in order to reflect the impacts arising from the “back in use” of a
subsidiary previously classified as “Held for Sale”.
Unless otherwise specified, figures in the Company accounts are given in units of euro 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/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 and
expected 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 change resulting from these reviews is recognised in the period in which the review was
carried out, provided the change only concerns that period. If the review 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 main items in the Company financial statements
as at 31 December 2022, as required by the accounting policies, statements and regulations described above.
The current market environment continues to be affected by high levels of uncertainty for both the short and the medium-term outlook. The
economic consequences stemming from the geopolitical tension are continuing to unfold and darken the outlook for the euro area economy, pushing
up inflationary pressures. In this respect, according to ECB macroeconomic projections updated in December 202283, the outlook for the euro area
foresees weak growth, high and persistent inflation, high interest rates, and an appreciation of the euro. The negative economic repercussions are
expected to be partially mitigated by the energy-related fiscal measures that will support economic growth in 2023, but this is offset by the
withdrawal of previous Covid-19-related fiscal support. In addition, high levels of natural gas inventories and ongoing efforts to reduce demand and
replace Russian gas with alternative sources imply that the euro area is expected to avoid the need for mandated energy-related production cuts
over the projection horizon, although risks of energy supply disruptions remain elevated (for winter 2023-2024) with some negative economic impact.
Over the medium term, as the energy market rebalances, it is expected that uncertainty will decline, and economic growth will rebound. Headline
inflation is expected to remain extremely high in the short term and to decline steadily throughout 2023.

Part A - Accounting policies
Additionally, ESMA issued a public statement ("European common enforcement priorities for 2022 Annual Financial Reports") indicating the most
relevant areas for monitoring and assessing the application of the reporting requirements for 2022 Year End financial statements. In particular,
ESMA observes the need to assess and reflect on financial statements the effects arising from the current macroeconomic environment (pandemic,
inflation, higher interest rates, deterioration of business climate, geopolitical risks and uncertainties regarding future outlook) and reiterates the
matters included in its previous Public Statements (i.e., October 2021 and June 2022) with reference to going concern, impairment of assets,
estimation uncertainty, significant judgements, and presentation of financial statements.
In the context of persisting uncertainty explained above and considering the aforementioned ESMA communication, the Bank has defined different
macro-economic scenarios, to be used for the purposes of the evaluation processes of 2022 financial statements.
In particular, in addition to the "Baseline" scenario (so called “Mild Recession”), which reflects the expectations considered most likely concerning
macro-economic trends, a Downturn Scenario (so called “Severe Recession”) has been outlined, the latter reflecting a downward forecast of the
macro-economic parameters and consequently in the expected profitability of the business; in light of the persistent level of uncertainty, no positive
scenario was included in the approach (thus, the positive scenario was weighted at zero percent). These scenarios are used for the DTA
sustainability test, for the measurement of equity investments in subsidiaries and for LLP calculation.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the characteristics associated with the above scenarios.
Features of the scenarios
• Baseline scenario: it is the main reference scenario, underlying the budget for 2023, and the projections for 2024 and 2025. Such scenario
assumes - in terms of macro-economic conditions - moderate Gross Domestic Product (i.e., GDP) growth compared with previous scenario, with a
downside in 2023 mostly based on evolution of conflict and its direct consequences. Major headwinds to stronger growth continued to be high
energy prices, weak global trade and persistent supply shortages, even if no major rationing of gas is expected to be needed. In particular, the
baseline scenario embeds the following assumptions: (i) no material gas rationing in most of countries; country’s counter actions (high storage
level and gas savings) are assumed to be able to compensate a very low (also a shutdown, at a certain moment) gas supply from Russia; (ii) high
inflation for the years 2022 -2024, in line with higher energy, food and commodity prices; (iii) ECB monetary policy expected to remain tight up to
mid 2024; and (iv) Russia Sovereign Rating at CCC from the last quarter 2022 to 2025. In Italy and Germany, no growth is foreseen in 2023,
followed by an increase in Real GDP growth rates in 2024 and 2025; for Central and Eastern Europe (incl. Austria and excluding Russia), the Real
GDP is expected to increase in 2023 with a further additional spike in the following 2 years; for Russia a growth shock is assumed in 2023, while
growth will resume in 2024 and 2025. With reference to FX rates, the Baseline scenario assumes the Russian ruble depreciation over time, mainly
explained by: i) export volumes falling due to embargo; ii) import spending higher than in 2022 as import flows from new trade routes; iii) financial
account of the Balance of Payments likely to be characterized by flight of foreign capital also considering the decision of several Multinational
Corporations to exit from Russian market. Inflation in Eurozone will start to decrease in 2023 but remaining high on yearly average.
Uncertainties/risks of higher inflation in the medium term persist, also considering that ECB expectations for 2024 and 2025 remain higher than
medium/term inflation target of 2%. With reference to the interest rate, market futures are priced in a significant hawkish approach from ECB in the
coming months. The 10Y BTP-Bund spread is not assumed to have a relevant pressure.
• Downturn scenario: this scenario embeds stressed macro-economic conditions, considering the possible implications of further escalation in the
geopolitical crisis, and higher inflation in 2023 stemming from intensified supply side disruption and higher energy costs, with erosion of real
incomes, low consumptions and investments. In addition, the scenario assumes: (i) ECB rates lower than the Baseline scenario; inflation expected
to decline in the medium-term, but higher than ECB target up to 2024 (i.e., 2%); (ii) Russia Sovereign Rating at CCC from the last quarter 2022 to
2025 (but with an increase in Probability of Default, compared to the Baseline scenario, from the last quarter 2023 to 2025). For Italy and
Germany, GDP would contract in 2023 more than in Baseline scenario, due to a further escalation of the geopolitical crisis, and lower substitution
capability of Gas supply with other sources, generating further disruptions in the supply chain. For Central and Eastern Europe (incl. Austria &
excluding Russia), a growth shock is assumed in 2023, with a faster recovery in 2024 and 2025. For Russia, a more significant growth shock is
assumed in 2023, while growth will gradually resume in 2024 and 2025. With reference to inflation, expected inflation is higher than in the baseline
scenario for Eurozone. BTP credit spread is expected to experience a higher pressure compared to the baseline scenario.

Investments in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets
With reference to equity investments in subsidiaries and deferred tax assets, the measurement is significantly influenced by assumptions about
future cash flows, which in turn incorporate assumptions on the evolution of the macro-economic scenario. As a result, for the measurement
purposes, and with the aim to reflect the uncertainty, both the scenarios above outlined were considered, pursuant to requirements of ESMA public
statement. In particular, the future cash flows were estimated by weighting the “Baseline” and the “Downturn” scenarios respectively for 60% and
40%.
Moreover, considering that, further to the cash flows, additional parameters are relevant in the calculation approach underlying the DTA
sustainability test, the evaluation of (i) volatility of expected profits before tax, and (ii) the confidence level used in the MonteCarlo calculation, were
reviewed taking into consideration the ESMA statements on recognition of deferred tax assets arising from the carry-forward of unused tax losses84.
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 Notes to the accounts, Part B - Balance sheet - Assets.
The results of these evaluations might be subject to changes depending on the evolution of the geopolitical tension, the higher and more persistent
inflation and, ultimately, on the 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.

Measurement of Credit Exposures
With reference to the credit exposures as at 31 December 2022, the macroeconomic scenarios used for calculation of credit risk parameters
(Probability of Default, Loss Given Default, Exposure at Default) were updated according to the Bank policies, on the basis of the scenarios
highlighted above. In this regard, the forecast on interest rates was revised upward, in line with the announced monetary policy and market
evolution. Specifically, the ECB Refinancing interest rate is assumed to further rise by 30 bps in 2023 (vs end-of-year levels of 250bps), and to
gradually reduce afterwards in 2024 and 2025. The same assumptions are kept for the Downturn Scenario.
In light of the persistent level of uncertainty, the overall blended probability was worsened by eliminating the positive scenario (whose weighting was
reduced from 5% to 0%), correspondently increasing the Baseline scenario from 55% to 60%; eventually, the Downturn scenario was kept at 40%.
In this regard, it must be noted that the amount of loan loss provisions is determined by considering: (i) the classification (current and expected) of
credit exposures as non-performing; (ii) the sale prices, for those non-performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external
counterparties; and (iii) credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9,
incorporate, among the other factors, forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
For additional information on the measurement of credit exposures refer to the paragraph “2.1 Credit risk” of the Notes to the consolidated accounts,
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter.
As well as for other assets, also in this case the measurement is affected by the mentioned degree of uncertainty on the evolution of the geopolitical
tension, the higher and more persistent inflation and, ultimately, the 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 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.
Eventually, 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.
Measurement of Real estate portfolio
Always with reference to the valuation of the non-financial assets, the valuation of the real estate portfolio 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 2022, the fair value has been determined through external appraisals, following the Bank guidelines.
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 2022 as a result of the possible evolution of real estate market.
Further information are reported in the paragraph “Section 8 - Tangible assets - Item 80” of the Notes to the accounts, Part B - Balance sheet -
Assets.
Other measurements
The following additional Balance sheet items might be significantly affected in their evaluation by risks and uncertainties, even if not directly
connected with the slow-down of the economic activity and the associated uncertainty level of the economic recovery:
• fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
• severance pay (in Italy) and other employee’s benefits (including defined benefit obligation);
• 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 2022, they might be
subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Furthermore, the following factors, in addition to those illustrated above, might influence the future results of the Bank and cause outcomes
materially different from those deriving from the valuations: (1) general economic and industrial conditions of the regions in which the Bank operates
or holds significant investments; (2) exposure to various market risks (e.g. foreign exchange risk); (3) political instability in the areas in which the
Bank operates or holds significant investments; (4) legislative, regulatory and tax changes, including regulatory capital and liquidity requirements,
also taking into account increased regulation in response to the financial crisis. Other unknown and unforeseeable factors could determine material
deviations between actual and expected results.
It is worth noting that since 2 March 2022 the ECB has stopped the quotation of EUR/RUB exchange rate for the preparation of the Company
financial statements. Therefore, as of 31 December 2022, and in coherence with the nine months of the year, the Bank has applied an OTC foreign
exchange rate provided by Electronic Broking Service85 (EBS). Additional information is provided in “Section 5 - Other matters” of the Notes to the
accounts, Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General. In this regard it cannot be excluded that, once the ECB will restart listing RUB/EUR FX rate,
these quotes might be different from EBS quotes thus requiring the recognition of an impact in Net Equity and in P&L.
85 EBS is a wholesale electronic trading platform used to trade on the foreign exchange market (FX) with market-making banks. It is part of CME Group (Chicago Mercantile Exchange).

Statement of going concern
In their joint Document No.4 of 3 March 2010, Banca d’Italia, Consob and ISVAP made some observations on the 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. Also
following such guideline, the present statement of going concern is released.
The Directors observed the increase in the geopolitical tension between Russian Federation and Ukraine during 2022 and the sanctions imposed by
several countries to Russia which replied with countersanctions. Such events determined a relevant uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook, in
terms of GDP, inflation rates and interest rates. Furthermore, the Directors observed the evolution in Covid-19 pandemic and the on-going lifting of
the containment restrictions put in place by governments since 2020.
The Directors assessed such circumstances, also evaluating the operations directly held in the Russian market through its subsidiary AO UniCredit
Bank (Russia), and concluded, with reasonable certainty, that the Bank will be able to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a result, in
accordance with the provisions of IAS1, the Company Financial Statements of UniCredit S.p.A. as at 31 December 2022 was prepared on a going
concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, the main Group regulatory ratios have been taken into account at 31 December 2022, in terms of: (i)
the actual figures as at 31 December 2022 (CET1 Ratio Transitional equal to 16.68%; TLAC Ratio equal to 26.90% in terms of RWA and 8.76% in
terms of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 161% 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 756 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 527 basis points in terms of
RWA and 172 in terms of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 61 percentage points); iii) the expected evolution of
the same ratios during 2023 (in particular, in 2023, it is expected to maintain a significant margin above the capital requirements, consistently with
the UniCredit Unlocked CET1 ratio target of 12.5-13 per cent).
Consistently with such evidence, the Directors have proposed to the Shareholders’ meeting, which approved, the distribution of a remuneration, in
part in cash and in part through shares buyback subject to the ECB's authorisation. In this regard, pursuant to the resolution passed by the
Shareholders' Meeting on 8 April 2022, as updated and integrated pursuant to the shareholders' resolution of 14 September 2022, UniCredit
announced (i) the completion on 14 July 2022 of the first tranche of the share buy-back programme communicated to the market on 10 May 2022
and initiated on 11 May 2022 following ECB Authorization, in this regard on 19 July 2022 UniCredit communicated the cancellation of
No.162,185,721 treasury shares, without reduction of the share capital and (ii) the completion on 30 November 2022 of the second tranche of the
share buy-back programme communicated to the market on 21 September 2022 and initiated on the same date, following ECB Authorization, in this
regard on 14 December 2022 UniCredit communicated the cancellation of No.86,949,149 treasury shares, without reduction of the share capital.
Finally, the Directors have also proposed to the shareholders’ meeting, in 2023, the distribution of a remuneration, in part in cash and in part through
shares buyback subject to the ECB's authorization.
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.
Section 3 - Subsequent events
No material events have occurred after the balance sheet date that would make it necessary to change any of the information given in the Company
financial statements as of 31 December 2022.
For a description of the significant events after year-end refer to the information below.
On 10 January 2023 UniCredit S.p.A. issued a fix-to-floater Senior Preferred Bond for €1 billion with 6 years maturity and a call after year 5, targeted
to institutional investors.
The bond will have a one-time issuer call at year 5, as to maximize regulatory efficiency. Should the issuer not call the bond after 5 years, the
coupons for the subsequent periods until maturity will reset to a floating rate equal to 3-months Euribor plus the initial spread of 190bps.
On 9 February 2023 UniCredit S.p.A. issued a fix-to-floater Senior Non-Preferred Bond for €1 billion with 6 years maturity and a call after year 5,

Risks, uncertainties and impacts of Covid-19 pandemic
Reference is made to “Section 2 - General preparation criteria” for a description of risks and uncertainties relating to Covid-19 pandemic.
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 of Bank so to complement government initiatives.
These moratoria measure generally allowed clients eligible for such kind of initiatives, to postpone the payment of instalments with the consequent
increase in the maturity of the loan and the accrual of interests on the capital being postponed.
As at 31 December 2022 loans and advances subject to Covid-19 related forbearance moratoria measures (government ones or offered by the
bank) are still present; in particular, the Budget law 2022 (law 234/2021, Art. 1, paragraph 62) has extended the moratorium on mortgages for
private Individuals until 31 December 2022.
In accordance with ESMA's declaration86 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 exposures87. 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. As at 31 December 2022 the amount deriving from the modification loss
recognised through Profit & Loss is not material (i.e. below €1 million).
86 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.
87 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 on
this matter, refer to Part A - Accounting policies, A.2 - Main items of the accounts.

Part A - Accounting policies
TLTRO
According to UniCredit group accounting policy, the TLTRO III liabilities are recognised as 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 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 (CNL) toward eligible counterparties88.
In particular, the contractual conditions related to the TLTROs instruments originally reflected the 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 that such an interest 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.
Therefore, the contractual terms were interpreted as clause reflecting a one-coupon floating-rate89 financial liability (the refinancing operation) and
considered part of the calculation of the liability’s interests according to IFRS9.
Under the said accounting standard, the interests were calculated by using the “effective interest method”, that allocates interests over the
application period of the “effective interest rate” (EIR). 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, the changes in the “performance-related” remuneration occurred in the periods from June 2020 to June 2022 have been 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) have been reflected by adjusting instruments’ carrying amount calculated by reference to the evolution
of the “TLTRO index” and limited to the accrued portion till 22 November 202290.
In March 202291, the expected repayment of the TLTRO III.7 allotment (“TLTRO III.7”) was postponed from the first early-termination window (June
202292) to the maximum contractual term (March 2024) and the effective interest rate has been increased from -0.9935% to -0.7075%93, coherently
with (i) benchmark achievements for CNL in both special94 & additional special95 reference periods and (ii) outstanding MRO and DFR levels,
leading to a negative impact for -€15 million.
During the third quarter 2022, the ECB increased the Deposit facility rates twice: in July 2022, the DFR was raised from -0.5% to 0%, while in
September from 0% to 0.75%. As a result of the application of the accounting policy, the effective interest rate of the TLTRO III was retrospectively
recalculated: for TLTRO III.4, the recalculation resulted in an EIR increase from -0.83% to -0.71% while for TLTRO III.7 the recalculation resulted in
an EIR increase from -0.51% to -0.32% (overall weighted average EIR increases from -0.82% to -0.68%) leading to a negative impact for -€161
million.
On 27 October 2022 the Governing Council of the ECB decided to recalibrate the conditions of the third series of targeted longer-term refinancing
operations (TLTRO III) as part of the monetary policy measures adopted to restore price stability over the medium term aimed to contribute to the
normalisation of beneficial bank funding costs.
Indeed, the purpose of the TLTRO changed, from instruments designed to improve the functioning of the monetary policy transmission mechanism
by stimulating bank lending to the real economy to regular funding to banks at markets interest rates96. In more details:
• the interest rate calculation based on Average DFR “origin to date” was maintained for the period from the settlement date of each respective
TLTRO III operation until 22 November 2022;
• from 23 November 2022 on (i.e., until the maturity date or early repayment date of each respective TLTRO III operation), the interest rate is
indexed to the average applicable key ECB interest rates over this period (i.e., the DFR, having UniCredit achieved the CNL threshold).
Against this backdrop, it was assessed whether the change in the TLTRO contractual conditions constitutes a substantial modification of the terms
of the financial liability, which, according to IFRS9 par. 3.3.6, shall be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the
recognition of a new one.
88 Loans to non-financial corporations & Loans to households, excluding loans for house purchase.
89 Either for the base rate (Average DFR or Average MRO) and the additional CLN benefit/spread (up to -50bps with a cap/maximum of -1% overall rate for a portion of the liability’s expected duration).
90 Similarly, to other “market indexed” variable rate notes.
91 As for the submission to Group Financial Risk Committee.
92 As for deliberation taken in the internal committee.
93 The -1% interest from CNL target achievements limited to the period 24 March 2021 - 23 June 2022.
94 Special reference period means the period from 1 March 2020 to 31 March 2021.
95 Additional Special reference period means the period from 1 October 2020 to 31 December 2021.
96 Also indicated by the circumstance that three additional voluntary early repayment dates were introduced, the first coinciding with the start of the new interest rate calculation method on 23 November 2022.

Part A - Accounting policies
In this assessment, it was considered that the contractual conditions of the liability were changed, by:
• delinking any anchor point with the “moving average” over the entire life of the instrument;
• transforming its nature into a “plain-vanilla” floating rate instrument at market conditions for periods beyond 23 November 2022; as a result, any
decision to retain the position unchanged is managerially equivalent in having reimbursed the former positions to issue the new ones;
• contextually introducing new dates for early redemptions at par with no penalties97.
Consequently, the contractual changes were deemed to be substantial to trigger the derecognition of the underlying liability, as the economic risks
underlying the TLTRO III liabilities significantly changed.
Additionally, it was found to be no more appropriate to calculate the amortised cost according to the average effective interest rate calculated since
inception of the instrument, and till its maturity98.
As a result, the derecognition of the current financial liability and the recognition of the new financial liability performed on 23 November 2022,
determined a positive impact through P&L for +€262 million99 recognised under item “100. Gains/losses from disposal/repurchases of financial
liabilities”.
It should be noted that the current IAS/IFRS lacks a specific guidance on accounting for TLTRO instruments100.
Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the accounting treatment adopted by the Group, as described above, may be still subject in the future to
different interpretations by the competent bodies.
The former TLTRO’s fixed rate exposure was partly hedged under a macro fair value hedge relationship of a sub-portfolio composed by 2 financial
liabilities (i.e., TLTROIII.4 and TLTRO.7) according to IAS39 AG114.a101 .
Based upon the BP01 sensitivity mapping under the former economic conditions, the hedges provided for the recognition of accounting
effectiveness since initial designation. However, given the changes announced by the ECB, which transformed the instrument into a 100% floating
rate liability, both fair value and interest rate risk of TLTRO materially changed, providing the hedge relationship not being anymore prospectively
effective.
As a result, on 27 October 2022, with reference to 26 October close of business102 economic value, the derivatives contracts hedging the TLTRO
interest rate risk under the mentioned fair value hedge relationship, were de-designated and re-designated as hedging derivatives of a portfolio of
other financial liabilities in a macro-hedge relationship, determining the recognition of a mark-to-market revaluation equal to +€244 million (debit
side; “Changes in fair value of portfolio hedged items”).
Following the derecognition of the TLTRO liability, the mentioned revaluation was:
• amortized at Net Interest Income, in coherence with the amortization of the upfront payments embedded in the derivatives, till 23 November (in
accordance with IAS39.92);
• recycled through P&L (in accordance with IAS39 par. 89A) on 23 November 2022, determining a negative impact for -€221 million (net of
amortization above) presented in item “100. Gains/losses from disposal/repurchases of financial liabilities”.
As of 31 December 2022, following the early repayment for €8 billion by December 2022, the Bank still retains €48 billion of TLTRO III.4 (maturity
June 2023) and €5 billion of TLTRO III.7 (maturity March 2024) with an overall 2022 P&L positive contribution for €176 million stemming from the
financial liability: (i) the accrual of positive interest from 1 January to 22 November 2022 for +€228 million, (ii) -€93 million of interest costs for the
period from 23 November to 31 December 2022, (iii) +€41 million deriving from the derecognition of the financial liabilities and the de-designation/
re-designation of the derivatives (i.e. respectively +€262 million and -€221 million as mentioned above).
97 Plus financially accrued interest.
98 From 27 October 2022 till 23 November 2022 (derecognition date), the Net interest income was recognised according to the effective interest rate determined in September 2022 as following the amendment of the liability
structure- it was no more possible to apply the previous accounting approach which involved recalculation of the effective interest rate.
99 Being the difference between (i) the contractual financial remuneration (collectible on effective re-payment) and (ii) the accounting accruals so far.
100 Indeed, on 16 February 2021, ESMA informed the Market that a letter requiring an official position by IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) about the TLTRO III accounting treatment would have been issued. In June
2021, IFRIC replied without providing clear guidance on the topics raised by ESMA; in particular, questions related to the effective interest rate and the consequence of the modification in interest rate were referred to the
“Post-Implementation Review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS9”.
101 IAS39 AG.114.a) states that ”the entity may identify two or more portfolios in which case it applies the IAS39 guidance to each portfolio separately”.
102 Being the last date in which the hedge was proved effective.

Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) transition
Following the concerns raised about the integrity and reliability of major financial market benchmarks the Financial Stability Board (FSB) started a
comprehensive reference rates reform. In order to assess the relevant risks associated with the benchmark reforms 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), during 2018 UniCredit group launched a Group wide project in order to manage the IBORs (Interbank Offered Rates)
discontinuation with a multiyear roadmap defined based on both Group exposure (mainly focused on Euro) and transition timeline.
It is worth to mention that the European Working Groups on Euro Risk-Free Rates issued its recommendations on Euribor fallbacks and cessation
triggers, while other international working groups and bodies (e.g., International Swaps and Derivatives Association - ISDA; ICE Benchmark
Administration - IBA; London Clearing House - LCH) issued recommendations, focused on LIBOR discontinuation, to be considered while
envisaging market practices to consider on transition.
At the same time, the Benchmark Regulation was amended to allow the EU Commission to provide for statutory replacement rates, while the other
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) defined amendments to the applicable laws in order to support a smooth transition.
Specifically, on 5 March 2021103, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in its capacity as LIBOR regulator, announced that LIBOR settings process
would have not been available (ceased to be provided or no longer representative) according with the following discontinuation path:
• immediately after 31 December 2021, in the case of all Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen settings, and the 1-week and 2-month US
Dollar settings; and
• immediately after 30 June 2023, in the case of the remaining US Dollar settings.
With reference to USD Libor, the FCA is discussing about using its powers under the UK Benchmarks Regulation to compel ICE Benchmark
Administration (IBA) to continue to publish the 1-, 3- and 6-Months settings under a “synthetic” methodology for a temporary period after the end of
June 2023, until the end of September 2024.
With reference to JPY and GBP Libor, in September 2021, the FCA initially deliberated to require IBA until end of 2022 for the publication under a
changed methodology basis (also known as 'synthetic') of the 1-, 3- and 6-Months Libor settings made available by IBA for use in legacy contracts
other than cleared derivatives. Synthetic settings availability provides some relief on LIBOR contracts repapering effort (in particular for contracts
subject to UK law). Afterward, the FCA announced:
• to require IBA to continue to publish 1- and 6-Months “synthetic” GBP LIBOR settings until 31 March 2023, after which these settings will
permanently cease;
• to require IBA to continue to publish the 3 -Month “synthetic” GBP LIBOR setting for the duration of 2023, and
• that it intends to require IBA to continue to publish this setting until the end of March 2024, after which it would permanently cease.
Publication of the mentioned “synthetic” JPY LIBOR settings ceased after 30 December 2022.
The continuing discussions and consultations, while aimed to bring further stability in the market and reduce conduct risk, still represent source of
possible uncertainty, with reference to the timing and/or fallback rules applied to outstanding stock of assets, liability and derivatives linked to other
IBOR agreements (yet to be transformed or transitioned).
The European Commission adopted an Implementing Act of the BMR that has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on
Friday, 22 October 2021; the Implementing Act provides legal ground for a Statutory Replacement Rate for legacy contracts indexed to CHF LIBOR
and EONIA that have not yet been repapered or do not contain adequate fallback rates.
103 On the same day, ISDA echoed stating that the FCA announcement constituted a trigger event under the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol; as a result, the fallback spread adjustment on relevant derivatives (also
applicable on cash instrument considering the recommendations of major national working group), would have been fixed starting from the same day for all Euro, Sterling, Swiss Franc, US Dollar and Japanese Yen LIBOR
settings.

Such a replacement rate operating by law brought further stability in the market and reduced the conduct risk associated with the outstanding stock
of assets, liabilities and derivatives transformed or transitioned or yet to be transformed or transitioned.
In order to address potential source of uncertainty on the effect of the 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 2022 is presented below:

IASB issued “Interest Rates benchmark Reform - Phase 2; Amendments to IFRS9, IAS39 and IFRS7” including indications to manage changes in
financial instruments that are directly required by the Reform and providing for (i) exceptions to standard rules dealing with accounting for changes
of the contractual cash flows of assets and liabilities and (ii) reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships.
As long as contractual terms (i) are amended as a direct consequence of interest rate benchmark reform and (ii) the new basis (to determine the
contractual cash flows) is economically equivalent to the previous basis104, they will be treated as changes to a floating interest rate arising from
movement in the market rate of interest (meaning the EIR will be updated prospectively without adjusting the carrying amount)105.
Similarly, the Amendments requires an assessment whether a modification of a financial instruments might lead to its derecognition (i.e., when the
modification results in a “substantial change” in the expected cash flows) to be applied only to changes beyond those resulting from the market-wide
reforms of an interest rate benchmark106.
As a result, changes that do qualify for the practical expedient will not be regarded as sufficiently substantial that the instrument would be
derecognised and, consequently, IFRS9 classification requirements (to be run at initial recognition of a financial assets, including SPPI test) does
not have to be conducted.
The major relief Amendments introduced in respect of hedge relationships is that changes to the documentation neither result in the discontinuation
of hedge accounting nor (in) the designation of a new hedge relationship as long as it only refers to:
• designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk, or
• amending the description (i) of the hedged item/portion of the cashflows or fair value being hedged, (ii) of the hedging instruments or (iii) how the
entity will assess hedge effectiveness107 as a consequence of changes to hedged and hedging instruments induced by the Reform (including the
addition of a fixed spread to compensate for the basis difference).
104 Including replacement of the benchmark, addition of a fixed spread to compensate for the “basis difference” among former and new benchmark duration, and changes to the reset period, reset dates or the number of
days between coupon payment dates, addition of a fallback provision.

Reclassification of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. out of non-current assets held for sale
As at 31 December 2021, following (i) the resolution by the Board of Directors and (ii) the receipt of non-binding offers, UniCredit Leasing S.p.A.
equity investment was classified as non-current asset held for sale, whose disposal was expected to be completed during 2022, also in coherence
with the cash flows underlying UniCredit Unlocked multiyear plan.
Such classification and the resulting measurement to fair value less cost to sell, in coherence with the non-binding offers received, led to the
recognition of impairment for an overall amount of approx. -€280 million bringing its carrying amount to €370 million.
In the first half of 2022, the binding offers received were not coherent with the Board of Directors conditions, as well as the expectations in terms of
perimeter to be disposed, conditions and/or price. In light of this circumstance, as at 30 June 2022, the disposal process was discontinued.
Thus, as at 30 June 2022, the IFRS5 requirements for classifying the equity investment as “held for sale” were no longer met; indeed, the decision to
discontinue the selling process indicated that: (i) the intention to dispose was no longer in place, (ii) the asset is no more marketed for sale; (iii) it
cannot be expected that the sale will qualify as a complete sale by 1 year time according to the original plan.
The reclassification out of “held for sale” implied the restatement of 31 December 2021 comparatives presented in year-end 2022 Company financial
statements, where the equity investment in UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. has been measured at the lower between (i) its recoverable amount (higher
between fair value and value in use) and (ii) its carrying value before the equity investment was classified as held for sale.
As of 30 June 2022, the calculation of recoverable amount on the basis of cash flows projections approved in that date by the Board of directors of
the subsidiary evidenced the need to recognize an additional impairment for -€55 million which, in compliance with IFRS5 par. 28, was recognised
by restating the 2021 carrying value of the investment and the 2021 net profit, thus determining a further decrease in 2022 opening net equity, for
the same amount.
It is worth noting that on top of this effect., the update of impairment test as of 31 December 2022 led to recognize a reversal of previous impairment
for €183 million. For additional information on the impairment test of investments in subsidiaries refer to Part B - Balance sheet - Assets - Section 7 -

1.1 Classification and re-rating of loans toward Russian counterparties held by UniCredit S.p.A.
In the course of 2022, a series of events occurred:
• several Multinational Corporations decided to exit from Russian market, and - among them - certain financial groups disposed their activities in
Russia or announced their intention to do so even incurring significant losses resulting from significant impairment and write-downs due to the
reduced recoverable value of their assets in such country together with difficulties in disposing it;
• certain Russian counterparties, including Russia, entered in technical default because of sanctions imposed against Russia which impeded them
to repay their debt toward foreign counterparty in accordance with the original terms of the contract subscribed.
These events pointed to a clear differentiation in asset valuation between onshore and offshore investors, where the latter are penalized in their
ability to recover the claims against investments in Russia; such penalization was considered, pursuant to IFRS9109, a relevant element to determine
a significant increase in credit risk and the resulting classification of these credit exposures in Stage 2. Furthermore, such events were considered
indicative of the circumstance that the cash flows expected to be received as offshore investor would be lower cash flows underlying by Stage 2
(with ordinary rating downgrade) and, as such, worth to be embedded in the evaluation of these credit exposures as at 31 December 2022.
Indeed, in the perspective of an offshore investor exposed towards obligors with direct risk on Russia, such exposures are expected to suffer from
higher risk of missed fulfilment of credit obligation. In order to incorporate the mentioned events in the measurements of Loan Loss provision, it is
worth reminding that, as per IFRS9 requirements, credit models used for LLP calculation shall apply historical information, adjusted to reflect the
effects of the current conditions and forecasts of future conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical data are based.
To this regard, the credit models used by UniCredit are based on historical experience, adjusted to reflect the current and forecasted conditions
assuming ordinary credit recovery process; however, such models do not reflect the differentiation between on and offshore investors, also in light of
the Groupwide nature of these clients, primarily Multinational assessed with credit models, that - in line with prudential regulation requirement and
the nature of the underlying models - shall provide unique rating independently from the booking Legal Entities.
Considering such circumstances, and complying with the mentioned IFRS9 requirements, overlay measures were recognised as at 31 December
2022 to reflect the widening effect from the perspective of UniCredit Bank as offshore investor. The overlays were quantified by assuming a
coverage ratio comparable with the proactive classification of these exposures as unlikely to pay; as a result, as at 31 December 2022 the stock of
loan loss provisions on such exposures is equal to €531 million.
108 Approx. €0.13 billion off-balance.

1.2 Geopolitical overlay resulting from Russia-Ukraine crisis
During 2022, the uncertainties on the economic activities arising from Covid-19 pandemics progressively faded away as demonstrated by the lifting
of the restrictive measures put in place by the governments to counteract the pandemic. On the contrary, the geopolitical uncertainties significatively
increased throughout the year: indeed, the start of the Russian-Ukraine conflict acted as a headwind to the economic growth as the spill-over effects
of Russian and Ukraine crises continued leading to revise the outlook for the euro area economy, also pushing up inflationary pressures and interest
rates.
In order to consider - when calculating the Loan Loss Provision - the sharp rise in energy costs, inflation and interest rates for both Corporate and
private individuals, UniCredit adopted geopolitical overlay. To this regard, the adoption of overlay is a complementary measure to the IFRS9 models
that, by its structure, has been already properly and directly proving to recognize the effect of geopolitical crises. In this context, while IFRS9 models,
and in particular satellite models, are able to capture the effect of macro-economic scenario at portfolio level, the geopolitical overlays act on specific
sub-portfolios considered particularly vulnerable in case contingent situations may evolve to severe stressed conditions.
As of 31 December 2022, the geopolitical overlay amounts to €1.1 billion (of which €0.4 billion recognised in the fourth quarter 2022 on a net basis in
light of the new risk assessment of €0.5 billion of overlays as mentioned below), broken-down according to the following components:
• Corporate energy-intensive industry sectors prone to be more affected by spill-over effects linked to Russia - Ukraine crisis, specifically impacting
the energy supply and related price soaring;
• Retail clients, for: (i) floating rate mortgages (not having overdue instalments), given the sensitiveness in this context of increasing interest
rate/inflation, and (ii) at least 1 unpaid instalment on their exposures, the latter indicative of counterparties with already difficulties in payments and
as such particularly vulnerable in this specific contingency.
The geopolitical overlays also include the cluster of credits related to Italian corporate counterparties previously belonging to the former moratoria
overlay. Indeed, such cluster of clients - that explicitly asked for additional moratoria prolongation (opt-in) in mid-2021 - still embed a potentially
higher level of credit risk compared with the remaining population, considering that a sufficient observation period since the end of the moratoria has
not yet elapsed (opt-in moratoria extension has expired in December 2021). Therefore, it was assessed that the consequences of the geo-political
crisis might still affect the ability of these customers to repay their credit exposures since their reimbursement capacity may be already weakened by
the consequences of the Covid 19 pandemics.
As far as the calculation is concerned, the credit exposures belonging to the above categories are identified according to their specific features.
Starting from this, satellite models are run by applying - as macro-economic conditions - the Multi Year Plan recessive scenario (i.e., Downturn) to
determine the adjustment to be applied to the default rate. Such adjusted default rate is then applied to the relevant categories to estimate the
expected new inflows of defaulted exposure, whose LLPs are then calculated according to the average coverage rate applied to Unlikely to Pay.
On the other hand, the overlays recognised in the past periods, following the previous extraordinary circumstances (e.g., Covid-19), have been
subject to new risk assessment (for a total amount of €0.5 billion), considering the following circumstances: (i) reallocation of the overlay connected
to the additional moratoria prolongation (i.e., opt-in component, as above outlined) within the overall concept of geopolitical overlay; (ii) actual update
of the IFRS9 macro-economic scenario, whose LLP calculation incorporated the previous overlay related to the uncertainty stemming from the
macro-economic situation.

3. FX rate used as at 31 December for the conversion of exposures denominated in Rubles
As a result of the geopolitical tension, the ECB suspended the EUR/RUB listing since 2 March 2022 (last fixing on 1 March 2022), while Central
Bank of Russia (“CBR”) continued to provide a fixing versus other currencies. Despite such suspension, the availability of RUB FX rate is needed for
preparing the Company financial statements for the conversion into EUR of RUB denominated exposures.
In light of the IAS21 requirements (which establish that when several exchange rates are available, the rate used is the one at which the future cash
flows represented by the transaction could have been settled if those cash flows had occurred at the measurement date), the Bank decided to adopt
the RUB quotes listed by the Electronic Broking Service (“EBS”) in substitution of the lacking EUR/RUB quote. The choice of the provider was
executed following qualitative and quantitative assessment, which reported the following outcome: (i) the RUB quotes published by the platform are
representative of effective transactions between participants to the market; (ii) the FX quotes are liquid; (iii) the EBS RUB quotes resulted from
actual transactions by non-Russian based operators, thus granting that such quote effectively represents a market participant assessment of the
value of the RUB and therefore of the economic conditions of Russia110.

Electronic Format (ESEF), approved by ESMA.
The whole document is filed in the competent offices and entities as required by law.
110 Such conclusions are also corroborated by the meeting held by ECB - Foreign Exchange Contact Group during May 2022 in which EBS representative reported that EBS EUR/RUB Market continue to function, and that
liquidity in the Russian ruble is below pre-invasion levels, with activity concentrated mostly among larger banks in offshore markets.

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.
702 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
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 recoverable 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.

6 - Property, plant and equipment (Tangible assets)
Reference is made to the paragraph “6 - Property, plant and equipment (Tangible assets)” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit
group, Notes to the consolidated accounts Part A - Accounting policies, A.2 - Main items of the accounts, which is herewith quoted entirely.
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, controlled by
the Bank and from which future economic benefits are probable.
Intangible assets are principally represented by software, brands and patents.
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.
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: (i) the technical feasibility of the project, (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset, (iii) its future usefulness, (iv)
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and (v) 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.
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 be originated 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.

The item “1. c) Financial assets mandatorily at fair value” at Level 3 as at 31 December 2022 includes the investments in Atlante and Italian
Recovery Fund (IRF - former Atlante II) carrying value €290 million.
As at 31 December 2022 the fair value for “Schema Volontario” securities is zero, being sold to IRF fund of all Mezzanine and Junior tranches in July
2022. Concerning Atlante and Italian Recovery Fund (former Atlante II) the Fair Value has been determined adopting an internal model in which
credit risk changes of single ABS in which Atlante fund is invested are considered.
For futher information refer to the paragraph “2.5 Other financial assets mandatorily at fair value: breakdown by product” of the 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:
• 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 reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for €318 million.
• 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 reserves (financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income) for €1,617 million.

The changes occurred between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 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.
712 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part A - Accounting policies
The decrease in the Level 2 of fair value hierarchy occurred in the item “1. Financial liabilities at amortised cost” mainly derives from the reduction of
the TLTRO exposures liabilities occurred during the period.
The book value of item “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 €220 million. For further details on this item 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 (refer to Sections 1.a) and 12 of part A.2 above) and instruments designated at fair value (refer to 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 +€7.7 million as at 31
December 2022 (+€1.6 million as at 31 December 2021).

The change in the item "Current accounts and demand deposits with Central Banks" (equal to about €18 billion) is mainly attributable to the
decrease of liquidity invested into overnight deposits with Banca d’Italia, in addition to the reduction equal to about €13 billion in the Compulsory
Reserves, classified in the item Due from Banks. The aforementioned decrease in liquidity position is substantially due to a reduction of net surplus
of funds recognised both (i) in the context of commercial activity with customers (about €6 billion the annual change in the net imbalance between
deposits and receivables from/to customers, mainly allocated into short-term positions and about €11 billion in debt securities in issue) and (ii) as
part of the interbank business (about €18 billion the annual change in the net imbalance between Deposits and Receivables from/to banks, mainly
as a results of the partial repayment of TLTRO facilities for about €8 billion and the funding and lending activity in Reverse repos for approximately
€5 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 2022 UniCredit S.p.A. holds shares classified as financial assets mandatory at fair value with a
carrying value of €139 million. The year-to-date overall cash investments are equal to €844 against which impairments for €684 million and positive
fair value changes for €11 million were carried out. Received reimbursement amount to €32 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 2022 UniCredit S.p.A. holds shares with a carrying value of €151 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
€5 million were carried out. Received reimbursement amount to €41 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 2022 the book value (fair value) of these funds has been determined adopting an internal model in which credit risk changes of
single ABS in which Atlante fund is invested are considered. This fair value valuation resulted in a lower value of €18 million in the year, accounted
in the 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.

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 2022
UniCredit S.p.A. recognised an accumulated impairment of €4.4 million (€1.8 million during 2022). Thus, 31 December 2022, UniCredit S.p.A.
carrying value of investments related to securitisation is nil.
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.
As at 31 December 2021 fair value is substantially zeroed, resulting in an impairment of €5.1 million recognised into profit and loss.

As of 31 December 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. has a shareholding of 5.0% in the share capital of Banca d’Italia, with a carrying value of €375 million.
The current stake is the result of the disposal process started at the end of 2015, when UniCredit S.p.A. owned 22.1% (€1,659 million) of Banca
d’Italia share capital. The disposals settled in 2022 are equal to 2.4% (€179 million) of the share capital of Banca d’Italia, bringing the overall
transactions settled starting from 2015 to 17.1% (€1,284 million). All the transactions occurred at a consideration corresponding to the carrying
value, equal to €7,500 million for a 100% stake. The relevant measurement was therefore confirmed as Level 2 in the fair value classification.
Following a legislative change occurred at the end of 2021, the shareholders of Banca d’Italia can benefit of economic rights up to a stake of 5.0%,
from previous 3.0%.
With regard to the regulatory treatment, the value of the investment, measured at fair value, has a weighting of 100%.

The decrease of impaired loans to customers (Stage 3) is mainly due to the sale initiatives carried out during the first half 2022.
For further information refer to the Notes to the accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 1 - Credit risk,
Qualitative information.
Debt securities increase due to purchases of bonds mainly issued by Governments.
The item “2.2 Other debt securities" include securities related to securitisation transactions shown in the following table.
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 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.

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 Austria AG (-€988 million), AO UniCredit
Bank (-€939 million), Nuova Compagnia di Partecipazioni S.p.A. (-€4 million), UniCredit Turn Around Management Cee Gmbh (-€2 million), Maccorp
Italiana S.p.A. (-€2 million). Further, some write-ups have been recognised, including: UniCredit Bank AG (€1,568 million), UniCredit Leasing S.p.A.
(€183 million), CNP UniCredit Vita S.p.A. (€6 million), UniCredit International Luxembourg S.A. (€3 million).
The item Equity investments is equal to €38,569 million of which €717 million related to investments in associates and €37,852 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”.

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 2022 net write downs were recognised on investments in subsidiaries for -€179 million, mainly due to the impairment recognised
on UniCredit Bank Austria and AO UniCredit Bank, in part offset by the reversal recognised on UniCredit Bank AG.
With reference to investments in associates net reversal for €3 million was recognised.
Estimating cash flows to determine the value in use of investments in subsidiaries
Projections
The set of projections employed for the impairment test of investments in subsidiaries as of 31 December 2022 was based around two alternative
scenarios, to reflect the volatility and uncertainty underlying the current macroeconomic environment. The two scenarios were articulated as follows:
• “Mild recession” scenario based on the financial forecasts (Net Profit and RWA) underlying the 2023 budget and the 2024 and 2025 multi-year
projections;
• “Severe recession” scenario less favourable than the “Mild recession” scenario, reflecting lowered 2023-2025 macroeconomic forecasts to take
into account the higher risks part of the current uncertain context.
For a description of the assumptions underlying the “Mild recession” and “Severe recession” scenarios refer to the paragraph “Section 2 - General
preparation criteria” of the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, Notes to the consolidated accounts, Part A - Accounting policies.
Impairment test model
The calculation of the value in use for impairment testing purposes was carried out using a Dividend Discount Model (DDM). 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 DDM 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 (2023 - 2025)
"BASE" SCENARIO
Financial forecasts underlying the 2023 budget and the 2024,
2025 multi-year projections
“DOWNTURN” SCENARIO
Financial forecasts derived from the macroeconomic scenario
underlying the “Severe recession” scenario.
Financial projections extrapolated by applying to the last year
of the explicit forecast period (2025) 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 subsidiaries in Italy, Germany and Austria the growth
rates for the intermediate period are defined considering a
conservative cap.
Derived through a nominal long term growth rate of 2%. The
average growth rate of real GDP in the Eurozone from 2001
to 2021 was 1.1%. The nominal rate of 2%, corresponding to
approximately 0% in real terms, was chosen for cautionary
reasons.
Intermediate (2026 - 2030)
Terminal value
Financial projections extrapolated by applying to the last year
of the explicit forecast period (2025) a fixed growth rate equal
to the nominal long term growth rate.
Derived through a nominal long term growth rate of 2%.
With reference to the current macro-economic context in Russia, a specific adjustment has been made to the financial flows present in the DDM
model used for the AO UniCredit Bank shareholding. In particular, a conservative hypothesis was defined which foresees to start paying dividends in
2025 in the “Mild Recession” scenario and in 2030 in the “Severe recession” scenario.

Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
Discount rates 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 in the “Mild recession” scenario is assessed with the Capital Asset Pricing Model as the sum of
the following items:
• Risk Free Rate: equal to the expected one-year average yield of the benchmark government bond of the reference country (local currency
approach, maturity: 10 years), alternative references are used for countries lacking appropriate government issuances;
• Equity Risk Premium: given by the product of the following items:
- UniCredit Beta (β): measures the sensitivity of UniCredit shares to variations in the reference market, assessed over a 5 year period;
- Market Risk Premium: estimated by Professor Damodaran as the difference between the return of US stock and bond markets since 1928
(geometric mean).
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. Specifically, the results from the “Mild
recession” scenario, considered the most probable scenario, were weighted at 60% while the “Severe recession” scenario was weighted at 40%.
The investment in subsidiaries impairment test performed in the 2022 period led to an impairment of €50 million. The table below shows the result of
the test for the subsidiaries with carrying value before the test above €1 billion.

Note:
(*) It should be noted that with reference to Zagrebacka Banka D.D. Zagreb further investments took place during 2022 for €306 million
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 2022, an analysis on the
sensitivity of the test result to changes in the weights of the two scenarios was 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 €2,375 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 €966 million related to deferred tax assets (for IRES and IRAP) arising from goodwill tax redemption;
• the amount of €2,350 million related to deferred tax assets (for IRES and IRAP) arising from impairment losses on receivables.
As at 31 December 2022, the total amount of deferred tax assets convertible into tax credits is equal to €5,691 million of which €4,984 million for
IRES and €707 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 tax group 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.
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, 2023-2025 period in which test has considered the budget
forecasts 2023, approved by the Board of Directors (BoD) during the meeting held on 16 January 2023, and the projections related to the period
2024-2025 presented to BoD in the same meeting;
• a statistical approach for the years beyond official projections (2026-2032); 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. In order to define the values of these projections,
considering the ESMA recommendation issued on 15 July 2019111, the 2025 projection has been set-off from the not current impacts, therefore,
according to the approach of the previous tests, as far as possible, objective criteria and realistic assumptions have been adopted, 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 stability112;
- 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. In order to define this confidence interval it is necessary to take into
consideration the macroeconomic scenario and the coherence of the forecast cash flows estimated with the scenario itself; for example, considering
these hypothesis:
• macroeconomic scenarios characterised by high uncertainty, also confirmed by official sources (macroeconomic projections and related
comments issued by the European Central Bank);
• cash flows anti-procyclicality compared to macroeconomic scenarios, which do not reflect the negative effects expected from the scenario in the
medium-term methodological corrections should be applied to account in order to consider the observed uncertainty. For example, considering the
elements mentioned above (macroeconomic uncertainty and anti-procyclicality) it will be appropriate:
- apply a higher confidence interval than the standard percentage113 (even directionally consistent with the scenarios used for other
assessments114);
- apply a correction to the variability of the historical series of profits before tax of the sample of European banks to reduce the effects of anti-
procyclicality115.
111 ESMA public statement (32-63-743): “... when assessing the sustainability of future taxable profits, issuers should pay particular attention to non-recurring effects (both positive and negative) in order to assess the
likelihood that these may recur”.
112 The ECB’s Governing Council considers that price stability is best maintained by aiming for a 2% inflation target over the medium term. This target is symmetric, meaning negative and positive deviations of inflation from
the target are equally undesirable.” (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2021/html/ecb.pr210708~dc78cc4b0d.en.html).
113 ESMA public statement (32-63-743): “…in assessing whether future taxable profits are likely to be available, issuers should consider all available evidence, both negative and positive. Issuers should determine whether
sufficient positive evidence overcomes existing negative evidence and thus the 50% threshold is exceeded.
114 For example, when the positive scenario is not taken into account for the determination of multiple scenarios for credit losses estimated.
115 ESMA public statement (32-63-743): "When estimating future taxable income, ESMA expects issuers not to anticipate or take into account future events which cannot be controlled by them and which are still highly
uncertain. These include, for example, future changes in laws or enacted tax rates."

Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
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 the paragraph “Risks and uncertainty relating to the use of estimates” in Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General,
Section 2 - General preparation criteria, and in line with the methodology described above, a confidence interval of 60% was adopted in the test
compared to the previous one of 51%. This approach is directionally consistent with the zero weighting of the positive scenario adopted as part of
the update of the macroeconomic scenario for the purpose of valuation of the credit exposures. Considering the persistent level of uncertainty that
characterizes the macroeconomic scenario in the context of the updates on the parameters, underlying the statistical model, the volatility parameter
was kept constant at 7.3, level of the previous 2021 test, in order to mitigate the effects of anti-procyclicality which would have derived from the
updating of the historical series of the profit before tax results of the european banks included in the statistical sample.
Finally, the persistent high level of uncertainty that continues to characterise the current macroeconomic scenarios has determined the confirmation
also in the current test of the methodology adopted starting from 2020, in line with the ESMA recommendation published on 28 October 2020116, and
confirmed in the 2021 test which establishes, as also in shareholdings impairment test, the adoption of two scenarios in the process of the forecast
cash flows related to DTA sustainability test:
• “base” (mild recession) coherent with the updated Strategic Plan;
• “downturn” (severe recession) deteriorated compared to the “base” scenario, built with macroeconomic forecasts 2023-2025 revised “downturn” to
consider the higher risks linked to uncertainty. In this context it was confirmed also the methodology adopted last year for the cash flows forecast
in the “downturn” scenario that has assumed in the forecasts after 2025 a constant profit before taxes annual increase equals to long-term annual
growth rate set at 2%.
For a description of main assumptions behind “base” and “downturn” scenarios, refer to paragraph “Risks and uncertainty relating to the use of
estimates” in Part A - Accounting policies, A.1 General, Section 2 - General preparation criteria.
According to the previous tests, the final results of sustainability test derive from the weighting of the results of both scenarios, assigning a higher
weight, equal to 60%, for the “base” scenario that has been considered the most probable.
Consistently with the approach outlined, the sustainability test, performed on the Italian tax group 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 2022 for a total
amount of €2,492 million, of which: (i) €1,851 million recognised through Income statement and (ii) €641 million 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 €31 million;
• 1% increase of confidence interval would result in €56 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 €38 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 €38 million decrease of sustainable
DTA TLCF.

Part B - Balance sheet - Assets
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 €1,490 million of which (i) €1,257 million (€1,152 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €105 million from Net equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary tax rate
and (ii) €233 million (€218 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 (€1,450 million booked before the offset against the corresponding
deferred tax liabilities), the sustainability test caused the total sustainability of deferred tax assets due to temporary differences, of which: (i) €1,305
million recognised through Income statement and (ii) €145 million recognised through Net equity originated from transactions accrued to Net equity
due to IFRS principles.

10.7 Other information
Italian group tax
The Tax Group 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 2022 the following legal entities adhered to the Italian Tax Group with UniCredit S.p.A.:
• UniCredit Factoring S.p.A. - Milan;
• UniCredit Leasing S.p.A.- Milan;
• Cordusio Fiduciaria S.p.A.- Milan;
• UniCredit Bank AG - Milan Branch;
• UniCredit Leased Asset Management S.p.A.
Considering the merger of Cordusio SIM and UniCredit Services S.c.p.A. in UniCredit S.p.A., the numbers of the legal entities adhered to the italian
Tax Group has been reduced in the year 2022.
Deferred tax assets due to tax losses carried forward
Considering the italian Tax Group perimeter the financial year 2022 closed with an income amount equal to €215 million. Tax due on income is
equal to €51 million, this amount has been reduced to zero due to tax credits of €15 million and residual tax losses of €36 million.
The IRES amount of the individual residual tax losses carried forward is equal to €3,919 million of which €3,157 million deriving from accounting
items originated in the Income statement and €762 million from Net equity components. Following the sustainability test an additional amount of
deferred tax assets limited to €650 million can be registered but €10 million related to the 3.5% IRES additional tax rate were registered in June
2022.
Therefore, the amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses booked is equal to €2,428 million of which €1,787 million deriving from
accounting items originated in the Income statement and €641 million from Net equity components.
The amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses not booked is equal to €1,490 million of which (i) €1,257 million (€1,152 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €105 million from Net equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary tax rate
and (ii) €233 million (€218 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 €7,357 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 Vienna and of each single branch for taxes due in
the relevant Country of establishment.

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”, Notes

Sub-items “1.1 structured” of bonds and “2.1. Structured” of other securities totally amount to €446 million and represent 0.95% of the total.
They mainly relate to interest-rate linked instruments with highly correlated derivative component, identified in accordance with the Mifid
classification rules.
Issued bonds change due to joint effect of maturities and new issuances and as a consequence of buy-backs realised in the period.
The fair value of derivatives embedded in structured securities, presented in item 20 of Assets and item 20 of Liabilities and included in Trading
derivatives - Others, amounted to a net balance of €13 million negative.
Fair value measurements solely for financial disclosure purposes only are classified according to a hierarchy of levels reflecting the observability of
the inputs used. For further information see the paragraph “A.4 - Information on fair value”, Notes to the accounts, Part A - Accounting policies.

Part B - Balance sheet - Liabilities
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”, 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”. Its recognition in financial
statements has required the estimate, through actuarial techniques, of the amount of benefit accrued by employees and its discount to present
value. The calculation of this benefit has been performed by an external actuary using “projected unit credit” method (refer to the paragraph “Part
A.2 - Main items of the accounts”, Notes to the accounts, Part A - Accounting policies).

The financial duration of the commitments is 10 years; the balance of the negative Revaluation reserves net of tax changed from -€139 million at 31
December 2021 to -€87 million at 31 December 2022 (included the effects related to the merger of UniCredit Services and Cordusio SIM).
A change of -25 basis points in the discount rate would result in an increase in liabilities of €9 million (+2.45%); an equivalent increase in the rate, on
the other hand, would result in a reduction in liabilities of €9 million (-2.39%). A change of -25 basis points in the inflation rate would result in a
reduction in liabilities of €5 million (-1.51%); an equivalent increase in the rate, on the other hand, would result in an increase in liabilities of €6
million (+1.54%).

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
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 at Balance sheet reporting date. The balance sheet obligation is the result of the deficit or 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, UniCredit
group refined its Discount Rate setting methodology by referencing AA rated corporate bonds basket. In addition, it is worth to mention that, instead
of econometric models, 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 -€87 million at 31 December 2021 to -€127 million at 31
December 2022 (included the effects related to the merger of UniCredit Services).
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.

Notes:
(*) A: for capital increase; B: to cover losses; C: distribution to shareholders.
(**) Share premium reserve is considered distributable as the legal reserve is at the level of one-fifth of the share capital, as per article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code; the distributable overall amount is net of negative items.
(1) Reserve used for coverage negative reserves (€3,956 million); to increase the Legal reserve (€55 million) and for the allocation to the unavailable reserve for buyback (€3,410 million).
(2) Reserve available to cover losses only after the utilisation of other reserves, except for the reserves pursuant to article 6, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree 38/2005; the reserve includes €2,738 million from Share
premium reserve as approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meetings of 11 May 2013, 13 May 2014, 14 April 2016 and 15 April 2021.
(3) Reserve used to cover negative reserves (€280 million), for allocation to the reserve pursuant to Art. 6 of Legislative Decree 38/2005 (€168 million), for allocation to the reserve related to the medium-term incentive
programme for Group staff (€161 million) and for distribution of dividends (€268 million).
(4) The reserve includes €215 million distributable according to the procedure established article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code; in case of utilization to cover losses, profits may not be distributed until the reserve is restored
to its full amount or is reduced by the corresponding amount.
(5) The shareholders' meeting can resolve the removal of the constraint making it available and distributable
(6) These reserves set up in application of the accounting standard IFRS2 are unavailable as long as the related plans are vested.
(7) The Reserve from business combination (IFRS3), generated with the acquisition of the shareholdings UniCredit Bank AG and UniCredit Bank Austria AG, is fully available due to the write-downs recognised through profit
and loss in the previous years on these shareholdings and covered without using the reserve in question. A portion of this reserve equal to €653 million is to be considered restricted in tax suspension due to the tax
realignment of the properties carried out pursuant to Art.110 of the D.L. 2020/104. In the event of distribution of the reserve, the related restricted portion will be subject to taxation at the ordinary rate.
(8) Reserve in suspension of tax established with withdrawal of the statutory reserve; in case of distribution will be subject to taxation at the ordinary rate.
(9) The reserve includes the surplus from the merger of the subsidiaries UniCredit Bank Ireland Public Limited Company (€295 million) and UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. (€180 million).
(10) Reserve from profit non distributable; includes retained earnings connected with the application of the fair value model on investment properties (€75 million); if the reserve is used to cover losses, profits cannot be
distributed until this reserve has been replenished by allocating profits from future years.
(11) Negative components affect the availability and distributability of positive reserves of the shareholders’ equity.
(12) If case of use to cover losses, profits may not be distributed until the reserve is restored to its full amount or is reduced by the corresponding amount by resolution of the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting Resolution,
without application of the provisions of the second and third paragraphs of article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code. If the reserve is not recognised under share capital, it may only be reduced by resolution adopted in application
of the provisions of the second and third paragraphs of article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code.
(13) The reserve, when positive, is not available pursuant to article 6 of Legislative Decree 38/2005.
(14) Reserve used for free capital increase with respect to allocation of performance shares connected to the personnel incentive plan.

The net balance in the sub-item Leaving incentives for 2022 is mainly determined by the update of Strategic Plan that envisages a reduction of the
workforce over the plan horizon and the recognition of restructuring costs as at 31 December 2022.
The exits for restructuring will be realised on a voluntary basis, in this regard, an agreement with the Trade Unions has been signed on 1 December
2022.
It should be noted that these expenses are initially recognised as provisions for risks and charges and will be reclassified to “Other liabilities” when a
specific debt toward the employees will arise.

Part C - Income statement
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 taxability 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 statement 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.
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 2022 with the DL 1 March 2022, no 17 the Regulator intervened on the deductibility of write-downs and losses on loans to
customers pursuant to Law 214/2011 registered in the financial statements for this purpose or realised through transfers for consideration. After the
conversion into Law, it was established that the deduction of the 12% portion for the tax period in progress as at 31 December 2022 is deferred, on a
straight-line basis, to the tax period in progress as at 31 December 2023 and to three successive ones and that the 2026 amount can be deducted
for 53% in 2022 and for the remaining 47% in 2026.
In addition, the Law of 30 December 2021, no 234 established that it is not possible to own, directly or indirectly, a share of the capital of the Banca
d’Italia higher than 5% therefore, increasing the previous limit set at 3%. For the shares which exceeded the right to vote and any other economic
and patrimonial right are not admitted. Moreover, with effect from 1 January 2022, in relation to the dividends received in the 2022 financial year
relating to the Banca d’Italia equity investments held as at 31 December 2021, in excess of the limit of 3% is applied with a further surcharge of

Part C - Income statement
The Art.110 of the Law Decree 14 August, 2020, No.104 has established the realignment of the book values to the fiscal values of the Bank assets
(by repurposing, as already done in the previous years, the provision introduced by the Art.14 Law 21 November 2000 No.342). The realignment
involves tax recognition of the higher book value registered by payment of a substitute tax to the extent of 3%, due in three annual payments. In
case of realignment the rule provides to bind a reserve in suspension of tax (for tax purposes) equals to the differential redeemed net of the
substitute tax due. In case of distribution such reserve has to be taxed. The higher values redeemed have been assumed as valid for IRES and
IRAP purposes as of 1 January 2021.
The realignment has been made on 30 June 2021 by the first annual payment due for the substitute tax. On 29 June 2022 was provided the second
annual payment due. The last third annual payment due will be provided within 30 June 2023.
Considering the mentioned Art.110 of the Law Decree 14 August, 2020, No.104, a portion of the Reserve from business combination (IFRS3),
equals to €653 million, is to be considered restricted in tax suspension due to the tax realignment.
Taxes on income for 2022 reports a negative amount of €31 million, in comparison with the positive amount of €934 million in 2021.
The amount of the residual tax losses carried forward is equal to €3,919 million of which €3,157 million deriving from accounting items originated in
the Income statement and €762 million from Net equity components. Following the sustainability test an additional amount of deferred tax assets
limited to €650 million can be registered but €10 million related to the 3.5% IRES additional tax rate were registered on June 2022.
Therefore, the amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses booked is equal to €2,428 million of which €1,787 million deriving from
accounting items originated in the Income statement and €641 million from Net equity components.
The amount of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses not booked is equal to €1,490 million of which (i) €1,257 million (€1,152 million deriving
from accounting items originated in the Income statement and €105 million from Net equity components) related to the 24% IRES ordinary tax rate
and (ii) €233 million (€218 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.
Current IRAP tax accrual shows a positive tax base IRAP due is equal to €44 million.
The “ACE” (“Aiuto alla crescita economica”) benefit for 2022 is currently estimated in €49 million. 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, tax ruling has been presented
in 2022 for the year 2021. “Agenzia delle Entrate” feedback is still pending.
An analogous tax ruling for an amount still to be defined will be presented in 2023 to “Agenzia delle Entrate” also for the year 2022.
During the year 2022, considering that UniCredit tax returns and the italian tax group perimeter declarations have not admitted the use 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 has been executed of the amount of ACE benefit for 2021 for €31 million as already done in the previous years. The residual credit
still to be used for IRAP purposes amounts to €211 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 2021 and 2022 financial year closed with a profit (€10,366 financial year 2021 and €3,107 financial year 2022) therefore, the conditions to carry
out a new transformation of deferred tax assets, for IRES and IRAP, into tax credits are not verified.
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 2022 financial year has been paid on 24 June 2022 by UniCredit S.p.A. (as required by law) for a total amount €103.8
million, of which €99.6 million related to UniCredit S.p.A. itself, €4 million to UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. and €0.2 million to UniCredit Factoring S.p.A.

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. This definition of non-performing exposures complements the definition of “default”
exposures, disciplined by EBA Guidelines on default definition in line with article 178 of Regulation (EU) 575/2013 of the European Parliament and
of the Council (EBA/GL/2016/07) in force since 1 January 2021, and “impaired” exposures defined by IFRS9 Accounting Standards. A substantial
alignment within the Group has been pursued between the three definitions, providing the Supervisory Authorities with a harmonized view of these
concepts and strengthening the tools available to the Authorities for assessing the asset quality.
The default classification criteria in force since 1 January 2021 include, among the main aspects, harmonized thresholds at European level for past
due materiality and additional Unlikely to Pay triggers further regulated by EBA/GL/2016/07 with respect to the high-level provisions of article 178 of
Regulation (EU) 575/2013. In this regard, it is highlighted the Distressed Restructuring for credit obligation object of concession, where a maximum
threshold for decreasing the Net Present Value of 1% has been set, as well as specific requirements on the contagion effects of default in the case
of connected customers (mainly, groups of companies, joint headings between individuals and links between individuals and companies with
unlimited liability). In addition, a mandatory minimum probation period before returning to the non-defaulted status has been defined.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of Banca d’Italia in Circular 272/2008, non-performing credit exposures 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 article156 EBA ITS, an exposure must remain classified as non-performing 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.
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 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 2022, highlighting:
• write-off for €216 million;
• recoveries for €1,419 million;
• disposals for €4,307 million.
Non-Performing Credit stock reduction performed better than expectations underlying previous multiyear plan “UniCredit Unlocked”, achieving an
improvement in asset quality with an NPE ratio of 2,5% (-183 bps better than expected as a baseline of the updated multiyear plan).
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
related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 3. Non-performing credit exposures, which is herewith quoted

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 €895 million as at 31
December 2022, of which partial write-offs amount to €828 million and total write-offs amount to €67 million. The amount of write-offs (both partial
and total) related to the 2022 financial year is €16 million. 2022 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 related 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
- 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.

The reduction in impaired credit exposures is mainly due to the Non-performing disposal transactions “Itaca” and “Altea” performed during the first
half 2022.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Itaca transaction
“Itaca transaction“ (hereinafter also "Itaca") is part of the plan of disposal of the non-performing assets belonging to the UniCredit group through a
market operation. It relates to a set of credit exposures owned by UniCredit S.p.A., classified as Bad loans which, as at 31 December 2021 or, for
some debtors, 28 February 2022 (cut-off date), amounted to €0.9 billion in terms of gross book value (€1.1 billion in terms of credit claims), also
defined below as the "Portfolio"
Itaca consists of an overall transaction, approved by the Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee on 31 March 2022, realised by 2 phases of
process:
• PHASE 1: securitisation of receivables (Bad loans) originated by UniCredit S.p.A. (the "Securitization").
On 3 May 2022 the legal transfer of the loan Portfolio from UniCredit S.p.A. (Originator) to Itaca SPV S.r.l. (Assignee) occurred at a price equal to
€155 million, subsequently settled on 6 May 2022 through the full subscription by UniCredit S.p.A. of all Asset Backed Securities (named also ABS
or Note) (Senior Notes for €125 million, Mezzanine for €24 million and Junior for €6 million) issued by Itaca SPV S.r.l. UniCredit S.p.A. is not
involved in any role associated with the recovery or management of collections of securitized receivables as Servicer or Master Servicer or other
similar roles within the Securitization transaction, nor has any control over the recovery process on the basis of the contracts in place. Within the
transaction, a liquidity line granted to Itaca SPV S.r.l. by UniCredit Bank AG is envisaged for an amount of €21.8 million (qualified as “super-senior”
in the Securitization waterfall of payments), to fund upfront and on-going running costs and cover potential maturity mismatches between the
payment dates of these costs and cash flows arising from the collections of the loans.
• PHASE 2: partial sale by UniCredit S.p.A. of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes to third parties investors not belonging to the UniCredit group.
Following a placement process supported by UniCredit Bank AG as Placement Agent, on 24 May 2022 UniCredit S.p.A. accepted a Binding Offer
from third parties not belonging to UniCredit group for the purchase of 95% of Notes Mezzanine and Junior (€28.5 million out of the total of €30
million) at a total price of approximately €8.7 million.
Consequently, on 8 June 2022, the sale of 95% of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes to the investors was finalised.
The sale of 95% of the Mezzanine and Junior Securities created the fundamental and substantial conditions for the accounting derecognition
(pursuant to the international accounting standards in force) from the UniCredit S.p.A. Balance sheet of the receivables included in the Portfolio of
bad loans securitized with Itaca transaction. Indeed, UniCredit S.p.A. has transferred to third parties (outside UniCredit group) the risks and benefits
underlying the loan Portfolio subject to sale, since it substantially replaced a Portfolio of impaired credit exposures (bad loans) booked for a gross
book value of €0.9 billion with an exposure in Senior Notes (nominal €125 million) with “investment grade” rating, maintaining a residual exposure
(5%) in the Mezzanine Tranche (nominal €1.2 million) and Junior (nominal €0.3 million). It is therefore possible to state that after the sale of 95% of
the Mezzanine and Junior Notes (i) the Bank is no longer significantly exposed to the variability of the future cash flows of the loan Portfolio, and (ii)
the underlying risks/rewards on securitized loans are no longer substantially retained by UniCredit S.p.A. but by third party (outside the UniCredit
group) subscribers of the Mezzanine and Junior tranches and (iii) the Bank has neither control over the portfolio nor power to govern the relevant
activities of Itaca SPV S.r.l. as it is not Servicer or Master Servicer. The liquidity line granted to Itaca SPV S.r.l. by UniCredit Bank AG does not
change the result of the analysis on exposure to variability and risks/rewards since the repayment of the exposure deriving from the use of this line
by the Vehicle is “super-senior” to the Senior Tranche.
Consequently, UniCredit, both in the 2022 Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements, proceeded to:
• derecognise the receivables belonging to the loan Portfolio relating to Itaca Transaction,
• recognise the ABS (100% of Senior Note, 5% of Mezzanine and Junior Notes), which were classified in the categories envisaged by IFRS9
considering their characteristics.
As at 31 December 2022, the Senior Note is classified in item “30. Financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income” for an amount
of €124.3 million, while Mezzanine and Junior Note are classified in item “20. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of
€0.6 million and zero million respectively.

Altea Transaction
During June 2022, through securitisation, UniCredit S.p.A. sold to a special purpose vehicle (Altea SPV S.r.l., "Altea”) a portfolio of Unlikely to pay
credit exposures amounted to about €2 billion in terms of gross book value, mainly Corporate and SME, for which Prelios acts as Master and
Special servicer.
The portfolio include: (i) medium/long term receivables and revolving exposure terminated/revoked, (ii) revolving exposures not terminated/revoked
and (iii) potential exposures raising from the guarantees’ enforcement/derivatives towards the debtors belonging the Altea perimeter.
Altea consists of an overall transaction, whose execution was approved by the Group Financial and Credit Risk Committee on 24 May 2022, realised
as follow described:
• PHASE 1: securitisation of receivables
On 1 June 2022 the legal transfer of the loan Portfolio of medium/long term receivables and revolving exposure terminated or revoked (gross book
value for about €1.6 billion) from UniCredit S.p.A. (Originator) to Altea SPV S.r.l. (Assignee) occurred at a price equal to €632 million.
On 18 June 2022, with reference to revolving exposures of short term revolving credit facilities not terminated/revoked (gross book value for about
€0.3 billion), UniCredit S.p.A. (Originator) sold to Altea SPV S.r.l. (Assignee) the rights to receive the cash flows through a limited recourse loan
(“SPV Loan”) for €78 million. Under an economic perspective, such SPV Loan represents the price considering that UniCredit S.p.A. would provide
to reimburse it limited to the collections received against the related portfolio.
The Altea SPV’s rights to receive the cash flows will involve also the exposures raising from the drawing occurred after 18 June 2022 and
estimated up to €80 million. Consequently the SPV Loan would increase up to €9 million.
Furthermore, the performed agreements envisage the transfer to Altea SPV S.r.l. of the potential future exposures belonging the Altea perimeter’s
debtors raising from the guarantees’ enforcements and derivatives for an estimated gross book value equal to €0.25 billion, at an estimated
consideration of €2 million.
On 21 June 2022 through the full subscription by UniCredit S.p.A. of all Asset Backed Securities (named also ABS or Note) (Senior Notes for €552
million, Mezzanine for €162 million and Junior for €22 million) issued by Altea SPV S.r.l. with the aim to finance the exposures’ and the rights’
purchase and to set up a cash reserve for an amount of €16 million to fund upfront and on-going running costs and cover potential maturity
mismatches between the payment dates of these costs and cash flows arising from the collections of the loans.
UniCredit S.p.A. has not any control over the recovery process on the basis of the contracts in place.
• PHASE 2: partial sale by UniCredit S.p.A. of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes to third parties investors not belonging to the UniCredit group.
On 24 and 27 June 2022 UniCredit transferred to third parties not belonging to UniCredit group (mainly to the American fund Christofferson, Robb
and Company) the 95% of Notes Mezzanine and Junior (€175 million out of the total of €184 million) at a total price of €175 million. As Originator,
UniCredit retained the minimum 5% net economic interest as required by regulation for originators.
It is therefore possible to state that after the sale of 95% of the Mezzanine and Junior Notes (i) the Bank is no longer significantly exposed to the
variability of the future cash flows of the loan Portfolio, and (ii) the underlying risks/rewards on securitized loans are no longer substantially retained
by UniCredit S.p.A. but by third party (outside the UniCredit group) subscribers of the Mezzanine and Junior tranches and (iii) the Bank has neither
control over the portfolio nor power to govern the relevant activities of Altea SPV S.r.l.
Consequently, UniCredit, both in the 2022 Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements, proceeded to:
• derecognise the receivables belonging to the loan Portfolio relating to Altea Transaction,
• recognise the ABS (100% of Senior Note; 5% of Mezzanine and Junior Notes), which have been classified in the categories envisaged by IFRS9
considering their characteristics.
As at 31 December 2022, the Senior Note is classified in item “40. Financial assets at amortized cost” for an amount of €497 million, while
Mezzanine and Junior Note are classified in item “20. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” for an amount of €7.5 million and zero
million respectively.

On-balance sheet exposures to banks include all balance-sheet assets regardless of their belonging portfolio (held-for-trading, assets designed and
mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, assets at amortised cost and assets held
for sale). In more details columns Stage1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Purchased or Originated Credit-Impaired financial assets include assets at
amortised cost, assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, current accounts and demand deposits with banks and central banks and
assets held for sale; the overall gross exposures also report held-for-trading, assets designed and mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss.
Off-balance sheet exposures to banks comprise guarantees given, irrevocable commitments, derivatives regardless of each transaction’s
classification category and the revocable commitments to disburse funds.

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 Countries, 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 “A.2 Classification of credit exposure based on internal and external ratings”, Notes to the
consolidated accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies, Section 2 - Risks of the prudential consolidated perimeter, 2.1
Credit risk, Quantitative information, A. Credit quality, which is herewith quoted entirely.
The 33% 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 65% 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, Countries).
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).
“Investment Grade” portfolio (rating classes 1-3) represents 68% of the exposure managed with an internal rating model (regulatory or managerial),
while exposures referring to counterparties without a specific internal model represent 12% of the overall exposure.

The table refers to large exposures as defined by Regulation ((UE) n.575/2013 (CRR) and n. 876/2019 (CRR2).
It is worth mentioning that both the amounts shown in letter a), b), and the number in letter c) in the table above include the exposure towards the
Central Government only one time, differently from the requirement in Art.4.1 39 of Regulation (EU) No.575/2013 (CRR), which envisages that 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 repeatedly reported for each group of connected clients in the regulatory reporting.
It should be noted that deferred tax assets towards Central Government were considered as fully exempted and, as a consequence, the weighted
amount reported is null.

B. Financial assets sold and fully derecognised with recognition of continuing involvement
Qualitative and quantitative information
At the end of the year there were no disposals of financial assets that had been fully derecognised, which required the recognition of continuing
involvement.
C. Financial assets sold and fully derecognised
Quantitative information
As at 31 December 2022, the Bank holds asset-backed securities and units in investment funds acquired following the sale of financial assets fully
derecognised, carried out in 2022 and in previous years.
These transactions involved the sale of financial assets, mainly consisting of loans both performing and non-performing, by the Bank to
securitisation vehicles or investment funds and their derecognition from the financial statements pursuant to IFRS9, following the assessment that
the Bank originator itself has substantially transferred the risks and benefits of the assets sold and at the same time has not maintained any control
over the same assets.
Instead of these derecognised assets, the asset-backed securities or the units in investment funds received in the same transactions were
recognised among the Financial assets.
For further information on each transaction carried out in the 2022 and also in the previous years, with specific regard to UniCredit S.p.A. as
Originator, refer to the two annexes “Annex 3 - Securitizations - qualitative tables” and “Annex 4 - Sales of financial assets to investment funds,
receiving as consideration units issued by the same funds - qualitative tables” of Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit group, which are

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 Group Client Solutions
division - Group Client Risk Management, 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 Group Client
Solutions 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 CE/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.

Company financial statements | Notes to the accounts
Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: 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 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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: a) financial assets held for trading” with regard to derivative contracts
totaled €15,021 million (with a notional value of €188,529 million) including €4,560 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with
customers amounted to €43,398 million, including €1,450 related to structured derivatives (fair value €363 million). The notional value of derivatives
with banking counterparties totaled €145,130 million (fair value of €10,461 million) including €1,079 million relating to structured derivatives (fair
value of €45 million).
The balance of item “20. Financial liabilities held for trading” with regard to derivative contracts totaled €15,819 million (with a notional value of
€188,885 million) including €6,942 million with customers. The notional value of derivatives with customers amounted to €84,129 million, including
€962 million in structured derivatives (fair value of €44 million). The notional value of derivatives with banking counterparties totaled €104,756 million
(fair value of €8,877 million), including €1,384 million relating to structured derivatives (fair value €366 million).
F. Credit risk measurement models
At 31 December 2022 the expected loss on the credit risk perimeter was 0.52% 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 and improvement PD and LGD dynamics.
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 2.98% with
reference date end of December 2021.

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 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 instrument and relevant risk management & 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.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
B. Cash flow hedging activities
The objective of cash flow hedge on assets/liabilities is to hedge the exposure to changes in cash flows from borrowings/lending that bear a floating
interest rate or provide for a variable FX countervalue amount.
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 of foreign currency cost/revenue streams.
The hedging instruments used mainly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, cross-currency swaps with a maturity up to 20 years for some
commercial hedged assets.
C. Foreign net investments hedge activities
The objective of net investment hedging on entities that have different functional currency from the Bank is to reduce the impact of fluctuations in
exchange rates on the Group’s capital adequacy ratios.
The management of this risk embeds the annual definition of hedging strategies in compliance with the EBA guidelines on the treatment of Structural
Foreign Exchange risk (EBA/GL/2020/09), and its continuous monitoring to remain within the relevant Risk Appetite Framework thresholds.
The hedging instruments used consist mainly of foreign exchange options. At consolidated level these derivatives qualify as Net Investment Hedge
relationship with the investment. The effective component (intrinsic value) of the hedging instruments is deferred into Other Comprehensive Income -
booked to sub-item “Foreign Investments Hedge” of Valuation Reserves-, offsetting the “FX differences” of the related hedged item. However, at
Bank level, a FVH relationship of the controlling stake is recognised.
Furthermore, 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 derivatives used consist mainly 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 hedges is accounted in Item “80 - Net gains (losses) on trading”.
In general term, both the hedging strategies and the percentage to be hedged is defined considering, inter alia, the diversification effect and taking
into account the volatility and correlation in the FX rates.
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 (or other
identified) 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”.

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 Banca d’Italia, the Bank noted the
guidelines issued by the Authority and by decision of Constitutional Court of 22 December 2022 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. 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 S.p.A. 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 by the Bank assessing the absence of responsibility for its role as “Introducer”; nevertheless, the AGCM
ascertained the responsibility of UniCredit S.p.A. 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. The Bank has filed an appeal to the Council of State. With a
sentence of 11 March 2021, the Council of State accepted the appeal brought by UniCredit S.p.A. against the fine imposed by reducing the amount
of the fine to €2.8 million and sentenced AGCM to return 1.2 million, amount reimbursed in June 2021.
For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that on 8 March 2018, a specific communication was issued from Banca d'Italia concerning the
“Related activities exercisable by bank”", 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 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. received reimbursement requests for a total amount of about €413 million (cost originally incurred by the
Clients) from No.12,381 Customers; according to a preliminary analysis, such requests fulfill the requirements envisaged by the "customer care"
initiative; the finalization 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 above (€413 million), reimbursed
No.11,906 customers for about €404 million (equivalent value of original purchases), equal to about 98% of the reimbursement requests said above.
In order to cope with the probable risks of loss related to the repurchases of diamonds, a dedicated Provision for risks and charges 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, in line with a strategy that envisages its disposal in the short term, the gems purchased are recognised for about €54 million in item “120.
Other assets” of the balance sheet.
On 19 February 2019, the judge in charge of the preliminary investigation at the Court of Milan had issued an interim seizure directed to UniCredit
S.p.A. and other financial institutions aimed at: (i) direct confiscation of the amount of €33 million against UniCredit S.p.A. 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
S.p.A. From the seizure order it emerged that investigations for the administrative offence under article 25-octies of Legislative Decree No.231/2001
are pending against UniCredit S.p.A. for the crime of self-laundering.
On 2 October 2019, the Bank and certain individuals had received the notice of conclusion of the investigations pursuant to article 415-bis of the
Italian Code of criminal procedure. The notice had 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 S.p.A. individuals only pertain to the offence of fraud. Such new allegations did
not modify the overall investigative framework as per the notice served in the autumn of 2019. In June 2021 the public prosecutor had issued the
formal request of indictment against certain current and former employees. The case was transferred to the Prosecution Office of Trieste following
jurisdiction challenges made by the suspected individuals. The case, which had reached the preliminary hearing phase, is back at the investigations
stage. The interim seizures of €33 million and €72 thousand ordered in February 2019 have been lifted.
In February 2023, the Prosecution Office of Trieste requested the dismissal of the case against the individuals and dismissed the case against the
Bank with reference to the charge of self-laundering. The measure has been approved by the General Prosecution Office at the Court of Appeal of
Trieste, so the investigation against the Bank is formally concluded. The Judge for the Preliminary Investigations then formally dismissed the case,
accepting the Prosecutor's request.
The file will be sent back to Prosecution Office of Milan in relation to the charges of fraud against the individuals.

cancellation, without reduction of the share capital, of No.249,134,870 UniCredit ordinary shares for a total consideration equal to the maximum
expenditure approved (€2,580 million).

The information reported above include the compensation paid to Directors (€7 million), Statutory Auditors (€1 million) and other Managers with
strategic responsibilities (€16 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 “2022 Group Remuneration Policy”, and about €13 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 decrease compared to fiscal year 2021, mainly related to: (i) the lower payment of compensation related
to the termination of employment during the year; (ii) the fact that the 2021 costs had been exceptionally affected by the need to recognise in Profit
and Loss, in accordance with international accounting standards, the entire amount of the Share Award that had been assigned to the CEO upon his
hiring.

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;
• 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, 15. Other Information.
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.
It is worth to specify that, 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, 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.
As a result, 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 the Section 8 - Property, plant and equipment of the Notes to the
accounts, Part B - Balance sheet, Assets.
During the year, these rights of use resulted in the recognition of depreciations for €186 million of which:
• €180 million relating to buildings;
• €6 million relating to the other category (eg. cars).
In addition, impairment for €7 million has been booked.
With reference to leasing liabilities, the related book value is shown in the paragraph Section 1 - Financial liabilities at amortised cost of the Notes to
the accounts, Part B - Balance sheet, Liabilities refer to this section.
During the year, these lease liabilities led to the recognition of interest expenses shown in the Section 1 - Interests - Item 10 e 20 of the Notes to the
accounts, Part C - Income statement.
With reference to short-term leases and leases of low value assets, it should be noted that during the year, rentals were accounted for €58 million.
It should be noted that such amount also includes VAT on rentals which is not included in the lease liability calculation.
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.

Section 2 - Lessor
Qualitative information

the booking 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.
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 Section 4 - Financial assets at amortised cost of
the Notes to the accounts, Part B - Balance sheet, Assets.
Such loans determined, during the year, interest income shown in Section 1 - Interests - Items 10 and 20 of Notes to the accounts, Part C - Income
statement.
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: €63 million;
• Buildings: €126 million.

2.2 Other information
With regard to financial leases, the credit risk associated with the contract is managed according to what is stated in Section 1 - Credit risk of the
Notes to the accounts, Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies.
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.

1. Appointment and activities of the Board of Statutory Auditors
On 8 April 2022, the Shareholders’ Meeting of UniCredit S.p.A. appointed the Board of Statutory Auditors, which had lapsed from office after
completing its three-year term, appointing for the subsequent period and until the approval of the financial statements as at 31 December 2024 its

The Bank does not provide a specific induction program for the members of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
2. Group activities development operations and other corporate transactions
The macroeconomic context in which the Group worked in 2022 was characterized by strong economic uncertainty and multiple related challenges,
including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, slowing global economic growth, a sharp increase in inflation in the countries
where the Group is present and an increase in official interest rates.
As stated in the Consolidated Annual Report, the Group’s activities in 2022 were oriented towards the implementation of the strategic guidelines
identified by the new “UniCredit Unlocked” Strategic Plan (hereinafter, also the “Plan”) for the three-year period 2022-2024, which was approved in
December 2021, whose objectives are:
• grow in the geographical areas of reference and develop the network of customers, transforming the business model and operating methods of the
Group;
• achieve economies of scale from the Group's network of banks, through a technological transformation focused on Digital & Data and operating
with a view to sustainability;
• driving financial performance through three interconnected levers under full managerial control: streamlining and improving the efficiency across
the organization with very strong management on costs, organic generation of capital, increase in revenues net of loan loss provisions to achieve
profitability above the cost of capital;
• to enable, through the new business model, a high organic generation of capital with a significantly greater and progressively growing distribution
to shareholders, while maintaining or exceeding the CET1 ratio of 12.5-13 percent.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted in time, through the information acquired during its meetings and the related analyses performed, as well as
through its participation at the meetings of the Board of Directors, that the Management Team focused strongly on the fulfilment of the new Plan and
that, despite the uncertainties of the global economic context and the negative effects deriving from geopolitical tensions, during the year, the Group
achieved the strategic guidelines set by the aforementioned Plan.
The net profit stated recorded in the year at Group level was €6,458 million, compared to €2,096 million achieved in 2021.
Group net profit, on the other hand, stood at €5,227 million, compared to €3,539 million achieved in 2021 and includes a loss of -€220 million
attributable to Russia, which in 2021 recorded a net positive result of €218 million. Group net profit excluding Russia amounts to €5,447 million up by
64.0% compared to €3,321 million of the previous year.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The minimum capital requirements applicable to the Group as at 31 December 2022 in coherence with CRR Article 92 are the following (Pillar 1):
• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
• Tier 1 Capital:
• Total capital:
4.50%
6.00%
8.00%
In addition to such requirements, for 2022 the Group shall also meet the following additional requirements:
• 1.75%, as Pillar 2 Requirements (Pillar 2 Requirement) in coherence with SREP results (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process);
• 2.50%, as Capital Conservation buffer (CCB), according to CRDIV Article 129;
• 1.00%, as Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SII) buffer;
• 0.13%, as Countercyclical Capital buffer (CCyB buffer) according to the CRDIV Article 130, to be calculated on a quarterly basis.
Moreover, the article 104a.4 of CRDV allows banks to partially use capital instruments that do not qualify as CET1 capital (e.g. Additional Tier 1 or
Tier 2 instruments) to meet the Pillar 2 Requirements (P2R). As consequence, in line with Pillar 2 Requirements, required in coherence with 2021
SREP results and equal to 1.75%, UniCredit group shall meet:
• At least the 0.98% of such requirement through Common Equity Tier 1 Capital in the assumption, fulfilled as at 31 December 2022, that the
amount of AT1 Capital exceeds the regulatory minimum of 1.50% (i.e. being 1.97%);
• At least the 1.31% of such requirement through Tier 1 capital in the assumption, fulfilled as at 31 December 2022, that the amount of T2 Capital
exceeds the regulatory minimum of 2.00% (i.e. being 2.77%).
Therefore, as at 31 December 2022, the Group shall meet the following overall capital requirements:
• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
• Tier 1 Capital:
• Total Capital:
9.12%
10.95%
13.38%

On 15 December 2022, following the communication received from the European Central Bank (ECB - European Central Bank) in relation to the
2022 Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), UniCredit announced that its Pillar 2 Capital Requirement (P2R) is 200 basis points.
Thus, there is no impact on UniCredit's 2022 and future distribution ambitions, funding plan and capital targets, which remain as per guidance.
Based on the Board of Directors’ approval of the financial results as of 31 December 2022, disclosed to the market on 31 January 2023, the Board
of Directors of UniCredit S.p.A., in its meeting held on 16 February, approved the Draft Company's Financial Statements and the Consolidated
Financial Statements as of 31 December 2022, recording a net profit of €3,107 million for UniCredit S.p.A. and a net profit of €6,458 million at
Consolidated level.
With regard to the transactions and initiatives involving shareholdings, explained in the financial statements report, please note the following:
Execution of the put option on the entire stake held in ABH Holdings S.A.
In November 2021, UniCredit S.p.A. exercised its put option right for the disposal of its entire stake in ABH Holdings S.A., equal to 9.9% of the share
capital of the company, pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement in force. The shareholding was acquired in 2016, in the context of the disposal of
its Ukrainian bank (Ukrsotsbank).
The closing of the transaction, originally expected in the first semester of 2022, will be finalised as soon as possible, in line with current laws and
regulations. The carrying value of the stake is aligned to the euro equivalent of the put option price ($325 million). The price of the put option will be
partially offset by the liability amount related to a guarantee given by UniCredit S.p.A. in the context of the disposal of Ukrsotsbank; the liability
amount is already fully covered by specific provisions.
Completion of the disposal of the stake in Yapi Kredi
In April 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. completed the disposal of its remaining stake in Yapı ve Kredi Bankası A.S. to Koc Holding A.S., representing 18% of
the issued share capital of the company.
Following such disposal, UniCredit S.p.A. is no longer a shareholder of Yapı ve Kredi Bankası A.S.
Acquisition of the stake in Zagrebačka banka
On 30 September 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. purchased from Allianz SE its entire stake (11.72% of the share capital) held in Zagrebačka banka
dioničko društvo ("Zaba"), a leading Croatian bank, belonging to UniCredit Group. On 14 October 2022, Allianz Holding EINS GmbH acquired the
16.84% of the share capital from Zaba in the Croatian insurance company, Allianz Hrvatska dioničko društvo za osiguranje.

Reorganization of the Group
During 2022, in the broader process of reorganization of the Group, aimed at simplifying its structure, the following mergers by incorporation into
UniCredit S.p.A. were completed:
• merger by incorporation of Cordusio Sim S.p.A.: took effect during the month of May 2022. The merger aimed at simplifying the structure and
better exploiting operational, administrative, and corporate synergies, making it possible to complete the concentration within UniCredit of the
activities previously carried out by Cordusio SIM and allowing for a rationalization and optimization of decision-making levels, resource
management and structural costs;
• merger by incorporation of UniCredit Service S.C.p.A.: took effect in October 2022, aimed at encouraging the simplification of digital services by
allowing the development of a homogeneous approach to IT services in all countries where the Group is present;
• merger by incorporation of Crivelli S.r.l.: took effect in November 2022, aimed at simplifying and improving the management of the building held,
allowing administrative cost savings.
Especially, with reference to the mergers by incorporation of Cordusio Sim S.p.A. and UniCredit Service S.C.p.A., the Board of Statutory Auditors
performed specific deepening with the relevant structures, by analyzing the organizational, corporate and tax profiles of the aforementioned
transactions, and held specific meetings with the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors of the two Companies to consider the possible impacts
resulting from the status of the internal control system of the merging entities.
In relation to the aforementioned transactions and the other transactions described in the Consolidated Annual Report, including the initiatives of
disposal of non-performing loan portfolios, 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,
reckless, contrary to the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting, or such as to compromise the integrity of the corporate assets.

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, performed with third parties, related parties or intragroup.
4. Related-party transactions
UniCredit S.p.A. has adopted the Global Policy “Transactions with related parties, associated persons and Corporate Officers ex Art. 136 CBA”
(Consolidated Banking Act), containing provisions to be observed in the management of: (i) Transactions with related parties pursuant to the
CONSOB Regulation; (ii) Transactions with associated persons pursuant to the Banca d’Italia Regulation; (iii) The obligations of bank
representatives pursuant to art. 136 of Legislative Decree 385/1993.
The above-mentioned Policy was approved in June 2021 by UniCredit’s Board of Directors with the positive opinion of the Related-Parties
Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors. The next review of the Global Policy in question will be carried out once CONSOB has issued
interpretative communication relating to CONSOB Resolution 21624/2020 on related parties.
During the reporting period, the Board of Statutory Auditors also examined an audit report (global view) on the “Related Parties transaction
management process” and noted the “Mostly Adequate” assessment.
The financial statements report contains information relating to related-party transactions, together with the related certifications (pursuant to
paragraph 8 of Article 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”). Specifically, by stating 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 8 June 2021 and published on the website www.unicreditgroup.eu, during 2022, the Bank’s Presidio
Unico received no reports of transactions of greater importance ended in the period;
• during 2022, no transactions with related parties as defined by Article 2427, paragraph 22-bis of the Civil Code were conducted, under different
conditions from normal market conditions and materially affecting the Group’s financial and economic situation;
• during 2022, 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 Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A and the Consolidated financial statements of UniCredit Group as at 31 December 2022 are
audited by the External Auditors KPMG S.p.A. (hereinafter, also “KPMG”) pursuant to Legislative Decree No.39 of 27 January 2010, which took over
from Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. in execution of the resolution passed by the UniCredit Shareholders’ Meeting held on 9 April 2020, with KPMG being
appointed as the External Auditor for the 2022-2030 financial years.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The financial statements of the other Group’s companies are audited by the External Auditor KPMG S.p.A. itself or other companies of the KPMG
network. KPMG is no longer present in Russia. Consequently, the companies are not audited by KPMG or its network, in that country.
Pursuant to Art.19 of Italian Legislative Decree No.135/2016, the Board of Statutory Auditors performed, during 2022 and until the date of this
Report to the Shareholding’s Meeting, an in-depth monitoring process of the activity performed by the External Auditor, noting, already in February
2022, the activities performed by the latter, acting as the new External Auditor, aimed at acquiring full knowledge of the Group and to start the
financial reporting review for the 1Q 2022.
Specifically, the BoSA scheduled a series of specific meetings during the various audit phases, during which it examined, inter alia:
• the resources and hours budgeted for the 2022 external audit;
• the Transparency Report for the financial year ending 30 September 2022;
• the scope of work, materiality and significant risk 2022;
• the 2022 Audit Plan;
• the 2022 Group Audit timetable.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also analyzed the methodology adopted by the External Auditor and acquired the necessary information during the
task, with constant interaction on the audit approach used for the different significant areas of the financial statements, sharing the issues related to
corporate risks, as well as receiving updates on the audit progress and on the main aspects examined by the External Auditor.
In November 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors met in two separate sessions with the Partners of the KPMG network, in charge of the audits of
UniCredit Bank AG (Germany), UniCredit Bank Austria AG, and the Banks based in Croatia, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania,
Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Slovenia, as well as the Italian subsidiaries UniCredit Factoring S.p.A, UniCredit Leasing S.p.A., for the
usual annual update on the scenario developments in the various countries and on the main results of their respective audit activities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the following reports of the External Auditor KPMG 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 6 March 2023, pursuant to Art. 14 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010 and Art. 10 of Regulation (EU) No.537/2014;
• the additional report issued on 6 March 2023, pursuant to article 11 of the aforementioned Regulation, to the Board of Statutory Auditors in its
capacity as Internal Control and Auditing Committee;
• the annual confirmation of independence, issued on 6 March 2023, pursuant to Art.6, par.2), subpar. a) of the Regulation and pursuant to
paragraph 17 of ISA Italia 260.
The aforementioned reports on the audit of the Company financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. and the Consolidated financial statements of the
UniCredit 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 2022, 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 Article 43 of Italian Legislative Decree No.136/2015.
Furthermore, in the opinion of the External Auditor, the Consolidated report on operations and some specific information contained in the Report on
Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure indicated in Article 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
2022, and are prepared pursuant to the law. With reference to the possible identification of significant errors in the Management Report (Article 14,
paragraph 2, subparagraph E) of Italian Legislative Decree No.39/2010), the External Auditor declared that he had nothing to report.
The reports on the auditing of the financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. and the consolidated financial statements show the key matters that,
according to the professional opinion of the External Auditor, were more significant in the accounting audit of the Company and consolidated
financial statements for the year under review [ISA Italy 701]:
• Classification and measurement of loans and receivables with customers recognised under financial assets at amortised cost
• Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities at fair value levels 2 and 3.
As regards the above-mentioned key matters, where the External Auditor’s reports illustrate the related audit procedures adopted, the External
Auditor does 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 above-mentioned key matters were subject to in-depth analysis updating during the periodic meetings that the Board of Statutory
Auditors held with the External Auditor.
The above-mentioned reports also contain the External Auditor’s assessment of the compliance with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation
2019/815 (EU) regarding the preparation of the financial statements and consolidated financial statements.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors met regularly with the External Auditor, as required by Article 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 Article 155, paragraph 2, of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 (TUF).
Considering the foregoing, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems the process of interaction with the External Auditor to be adequate and
transparent.
6. Oversight on the independence of the External Auditors
During the 2022 financial year, pursuant to Article 19 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified and monitored
the independence of the External Auditor KPMG 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”), specifically with regard to 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 KPMG Sp.A. 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. In addition, the Board of Statutory Auditors
noted 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, to
enable the timely monitoring of the costs of the services provided to the External Auditor and by all entities belonging to the KPMG S.p.A. Network.
Based on the 2022 final data, the value of the services provided to the UniCredit Group companies by the Group’s External Auditor and the
companies belonging to its Network amounts to approximately €20.5 million, of which €15.7 million for audit services, €4.5 million to
verification/attestation services and €0.3 million to other non-audit services. At Group level, the costs of other non-audit services assigned to the
External Auditors and the Companies belonging to its network decreased by 95% compared to 2021.
With reference to the information concerning the Parent Company only, provided in the statement relating to the “Publication of the remuneration -
UniCredit S.p.A. - 2022 financial year - KPMG network”, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the costs of the services assigned to the External
Auditor, compared to the costs of services assigned in 2021 to the previous External Auditor, decreased by 40% with a total cost of €4.6 million, of
which €3.2 million for audit services, €1.2 million for verification/attestation services and €0.2 million for other non-audit services.
The ratio between the cost of non-audit services provided by the Parent Company’s Auditor KPMG, and the audit services’ costs referred to the first
year of its appointment, amounted to 8% for 2022, below the 70% limit set by the internal regulations adopted by the Bank and the and applicable
external regulations (“fee cap”).
With regard to the planning of non-audit services for 2023, KPMG S.p.A. is expected to be assigned services with a total equivalent value of
approximately €0.6 million, with a forecast fee cap of 15%. Please note that, according to the regulations, non-audit services required by national or
European Union rules, or those representing a charge for the benefit of a certain discipline, are not significant for determining 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 above-mentioned 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 half-yearly report and 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, certifies that they are adequate and actually applicable.
As stated in the financial statements, Directive 2004/109/EC (the “Transparency Directive”) and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 introduced the
obligation for issuers of securities listed on regulated markets in the European Union to draw up the annual financial report in the XHTML language,
based on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) approved by ESMA. For 2022, the consolidated financial statements have been “marked”
with the ESEF taxonomy, using an integrated computer language (iXBRL).
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.

Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted the updates to the internal regulations concerning the internal control system applicable to Financial
Reporting and the Manual on Group accounting Rules and Principles, and the revision of the methodology for estimating the cost of equity,
approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 16 January 2023.
The Board of Statutory Auditors therefore examined the “Report on the status of the Internal Control System on Financial Reporting -
Management Report” regarding the certification campaign pursuant to the Law 262/05 of the consolidated and individual financial statements as at
31 December 2021, submitted to the Board of Directors on 16 February 2023.
Compared to a total of 358 companies fully consolidated, based on the criteria defined in the internal regulations, the companies subject to the 262-
certification campaign amount to 33 covering 98% of the Group Total Aggregated Assets (“GTAA”).
The certification campaign as at 31 December 2022, which for UniCredit S.p.A. involved 519 processes that undergo 2,094 checks, and 1,953
processes relating to the other Group companies on which there were a total of 5,256 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 corresponding managers of the other Group
companies subject to the campaign.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the increase of processes and controls for UniCredit S.p.A., compared to the previous certification
campaigns, was due to the recent merger by incorporation of UniCredit Services S.C.p.A.. With regard to such processes and controls referred to
the previous periods, a declaration was issued for the benefit of the Legal Entities served.
The Board of Statutory Auditors positively noted that, in line with such review of the 262 processes’ perimeter, the Group Manager in Charge Staff
structure of UniCredit S.p.A. was strengthened and that the latter delivered specific modules and training sessions to the staff of UniCredit S.p.A.
and other Legal Entities of the Group, with the aim of supporting the Law 262/05 process. In addition, with reference to the significant topics
identified for UniCredit S.p.A., the Board of Statutory Auditors noted the analyses performed by the Manager in charge of preparing the financial
reports with the structures involved, as well as the enhancements made to the Group application for the campaign management, as part of a
dedicated project that will continue with further initiatives and refinements during 2023. Finally, the Board of Statutory Auditors recognised that:
• the Group Remediation Plan as at 31 December 2022 included only 1 corrective measure (for which a remedial action, with the budget already
approved, has already been defined);
• the IT General Controls campaign made it possible to verify the closure of all pre-existing gaps as at 4Q22 and to identify 2 new remedial actions
with no significant risk elements.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the procedures’ outcomes performed by the External Auditor required by the Bank (“Agreed upon
procedures”) about the UniCredit Group’s disclosure (Pillar III) as at December 2022 by UniCredit S.p.A.
With regard to 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 long paid significant attention over
time, during 2022, the BoSA kept monitoring the Data Roadmap and the related multi-year strategic initiative called Umbrella Program. The
program is led by the Group Risk Management, Group Finance and Group Digital & Information structures and concerns initiatives aimed at
improving and strengthening Data Aggregation Capabilities, Data Architecture & Infrastructure and Data Governance within the Finance and Risk
areas, in order to increase the accuracy of the Group’s data and the relative flexibility in data aggregation, to meet new or ad hoc regulatory
requirements also in the context of stress scenarios, also considering the Supervisor’s recommendations.
The Board of Statutory Auditors observed that the program of initiatives and actions foreseen by the Umbrella Program in the 2020 - 2023 period
was basically on track with no points of attention, and noted that the necessary allocations were approved, in line with the forecasts. The Board of
Statutory Auditors noted that, in line with the updates of the Group’s Multi-Year Plan, the programme's continuation (2023 – 2026 period) is
underway with a review of the Umbrella portfolio – focusing on 2023 – to assess whether top priorities and other causes are in place, that might be
rescheduled in future, in line, however, with the commitments towards the Supervisor, who has raised no criticalities so far. The Board of Statutory
Auditors required the Management to receive regular updates in order to keep monitoring the programme’s progress and regular Supervisor’s
feedback.
As part of the afore-mentioned analyses, the Board of Statutory Auditors also noted the new Management Report on Data Governance and Data
Quality, to submit to ECB (by the banks considered Significant Institutions, including UniCredit S.p.A.), and which included, inter alia, the Senior
Management’s certification regarding its awareness and accountability on issues related to internal, financial, and supervisory reporting issues as
identified by the ECB itself. The BoSA considered that the introduction of this new certification will further strengthen the Management’s focus on the
above-mentioned profiles as well as on effective data production processes.
In view of the information received, and the analyses performed, as mentioned below, the Board of Statutory Auditors considered the current
administrative-accounting system, overall, adequate to the provisions of the current reference regulations and suitable for correctly representing the
management events.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Risks and uncertainty relating to the use of estimates
As stated in the financial statements report, the current market environment continues to be affected by high levels of uncertainty for both the short
and the medium-term outlook. The economic consequences stemming from the geopolitical tension are continuing to unfold and darken the outlook
for the euro area economy, pushing up inflationary pressures.
In this respect, according to ECB’s macroeconomic projections updated in December 2022, the outlook for the euro area foresees weak growth, high
and persistent inflation, high interest rates, and an appreciation of the euro. The negative economic repercussions are expected to be partially
mitigated by the energy-related fiscal measures that will support economic growth in 2023. This is offset by the withdrawal of previous COVID-19-
related fiscal support.
The effects on natural gas stocks and the energy market resulting from the consequences of the military invasion of Ukraine must also be
considered.
In the context of persisting uncertainty explained above and considering the ESMA communication issued in October 2022 (“European common
enforcement priorities for 2022 Annual Financial Reports”), in which the most relevant areas for the application of the reporting requirements for
2022 Year End financial statements were indicated, including the effects arising from the current macroeconomic environment (pandemic, inflation,
higher interest rates, deterioration of business climate, geopolitical risks and uncertainties regarding future outlook), UniCredit Group has defined
different macro-economic scenarios, to be used for the purposes of the evaluation processes of the Consolidated financial statements as at 31
December 2022.
In particular, in addition to the “Baseline” scenario (so called “Baseline” or “Mild Recession”), which reflects the expectations considered most likely
concerning macro-economic trends, a Downturn Scenario (so called “Downturn” or “Severe Recession”) has been outlined, the latter reflecting a
downward forecast of the macroeconomic parameters and consequently in the expected profitability of the business.
In light of the persistent level of uncertainty, no positive scenario was included in the approach (thus, the positive scenario was weighted at zero
percent). These scenarios are used for the DTA sustainability test, for the measurement of equity investments in subsidiaries and for LLP
calculation.
The results of these assessments may be subject to change depending on the evolution of geopolitical tensions, the higher and more persistent
level of inflation and, ultimately, the extent of economic recovery. Any deviation of the actual economic recovery from the assumptions underlying
the assessments may require a re-calculation of the parameters used for assessments, specifically with regard to future income flows, and the
consequent assessments’ review.
The Board of Statutory Auditors analyzed in-depth, with the relevant structures, the assessments and the following different assumptions that led to
the scenario review, by recommending the adoption of a prudential approach, in view of the most significant macroeconomic data.
Valuation of Credit Exposures
With reference to the credit exposures as at 31 December 2022, the macroeconomic scenarios used for calculation of credit risk parameters
(Probability of Default, Loss Given Default, Exposure at Default) were updated according to the Group policies, on the basis of the scenarios
highlighted above. In this regard, the forecast on interest rates was revised upward, in line with the announced monetary policy and market
evolution. Specifically, the ECB Refinancing interest rate is assumed to further rise in 2023 (vs. end-of-year levels of 250bps), and to gradually
reduce afterwards in 2024 and 2025. The same assumptions are kept for the Downturn Scenario.
In light of the persistent level of uncertainty, the overall blended probability was worsened by eliminating the positive scenario (whose weighting was
reduced from 5% to 0%), correspondently increasing the Baseline scenario from 55% to 60%; eventually, the Downturn scenario was kept at 40%.
In this regard, it must be noted that the amount of loan loss provisions is determined by considering: (i) The classification, current and expected, of
credit exposures as non-performing; (ii) The sale prices, for those non-performing exposure whose recovery is expected through sale to external
counterparties; (iii) Credit parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default and Exposure at Default) which, in accordance with IFRS9,
incorporate - among the other factors – the forward looking information and the expected evolution of the macro-economic scenario.
Measurement of 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.
For these assets, on 31 December 2022, the fair value has been determined through external appraisals, following the Group guidelines.
In this context, as also indicated in the financial statements report, the Board of Statutory Auditors pointed out that in the upcoming financial years,
the fair value of these assets might be different from the fair value observed as at 31 December 2022, as a result of the possible evolution of real
estate market, which appear to be significantly influenced by the current macroeconomic dynamics and a highly volatile environment.
866 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
With regard to other measurements, as stated in the financial statements, the Board of Statutory Auditors highlighted that the following additional
Balance sheet items might be significantly affected in their evaluation by risks and uncertainties, even if not directly connected with the slow-down of
the economic activity and the associated uncertainty level of the economic recovery:
• fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
• severance pay (in Italy) and other employee’s benefits (including defined benefit obligation);
• 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 2022, they might be
subject to changes not foreseeable at the moment, as a result of the evolution in the parameters used for the evaluation.
Furthermore, the following factors, in addition to those illustrated above, might influence the future results of the Group and cause outcomes
materially different from those deriving from the valuations: (i) General economic and industrial conditions of the regions in which the Group operates
or holds significant investments; (ii) Exposure to various market risks (e.g. foreign exchange risk); (iii) Political instability in the areas in which the
Group operates or holds significant investments; (iv) Legislative, regulatory and tax changes, including regulatory capital and liquidity requirements.
Other unknown and unforeseeable factors could determine material deviations between actual and expected results.
Implications of geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine on Consolidated financial statements
As stated in the financial statements, UniCredit Group holds assets and liabilities potentially exposed to the consequences of geopolitical tensions
arising from the military invasion of Ukraine, and specifically: (i) The Russian subsidiaries included in the accounting consolidation perimeter; (ii) The
financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries towards Russian counterparties.
With reference to the Russian subsidiaries, the geopolitical tensions determined:
• the recognition of write downs following: (i) The update of the macroeconomic scenario for IFRS9 purposes; (ii) The downgrades of Russia
Sovereign; (iii) The overlays to cope with persisting uncertainties stemming from the potential evolution of the crisis;
• the adoption of a mark-to-model approach (from the previous mark-to-market) for the fair value measurement of Russian government bonds, to
reflect the perspective of UniCredit group (i.e., a western based financial institution) for which the Russian market is not immediately accessible
and therefore its quoted prices cannot be representative of fair value for consolidated purposes;
• the recognition of effects relating to the measurement of derivatives, following sanctions and restrictions;
• the adoption of specific XVA methodology to reflect the offshore risk.
With reference to financial assets held by UniCredit S.p.A. and its non-Russian subsidiaries toward Russian counterparties, the geopolitical crisis
determined write-downs stemming from:
• the update of the macroeconomic scenario for IFRS9 purposes;
• the downgrade of Russia Sovereign, impacting the credit risk assessment of the financial assets held towards Russian Multinational
counterparties, banks and financial institutions;
• the recognition of overlays to cope with: (i) The potential additional losses in asset valuation for Russian financial instruments, being the non-
Russian entities of the Group qualifiable as offshore investors towards these assets and, as such, penalised when compared to onshore ones (i.e.
Russian domestic); (ii) The spill-over effects of geopolitical crisis on non-Russian financial instruments, with specific reference to specific
categories of customers deemed particularly vulnerable in case of severe evolution of the crisis.
The Notes to the consolidated accounts detail all the aforementioned effects for Russian Subsidiaries and UniCredit S.p.A. non-Russian
subsidiaries.
Geopolitical overlay resulting from the military invasion of Ukraine
During 2022, the uncertainties on the economic activities arising from Covid-19 pandemics progressively faded away as demonstrated by the lifting
of the restrictive measures put in place by the Governments to counteract the pandemic. On the contrary, the geopolitical uncertainties significatively
increased throughout the year: indeed, the start of the Russian-initiated conflict in Ukraine acted as a headwind to the economic growth as the spill-
over effect of the conflict continued leading to revise the outlook for the euro area economy, also pushing up inflationary pressures and interest
rates.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that, in order to consider, when calculating the Loan Loss Provision, the sharp rise in energy costs, inflation
and interest rates for both corporate and private individuals, UniCredit adopted geopolitical overlay, whose details are provided in the financial
statements, as a complementary measure to the IFRS9 models. Such models, by their structure, have been already properly and directly proving to
recognize the effect of geopolitical crises. In this context, while the IFRS 9 models - and in particular satellite models - are able to include the effect
of the macro-economic scenario at portfolio level, the geopolitical overlays act on specific sub-portfolios considered particularly vulnerable in case
contingent situations may evolve to severe stressed conditions.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
As of 31 December 2022, the geopolitical overlays amount to €1.8 billion, broken-down according to the following components:
• corporate energy-intensive industry sectors prone to be more affected by spill-over effects of the Russian-led conflict in Ukraine, specifically
impacting the energy supply and related price soaring;
• retail clients, for: (i) Floating rate mortgages (not having overdue instalments), given the sensitiveness in this context of increasing interest
rate/inflation, and (ii) At least 1 unpaid instalment on their exposures, the latter indicative of counterparties with already difficulties in payments and
as such particularly vulnerable in this specific contingency.
The geopolitical overlays also include the cluster of credits related to Italian corporate counterparties previously belonging to the former moratoria
overlay. With regard to all the aspects highlighted above, the Board of Statutory Auditors performed many in-depth analyses with the relevant
structures and the External Auditor.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, together with the relevant functions of the Bank, 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 required 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
2022, UniCredit Group set aside a provision for risks and charges of €620.97 million, of which €296.2 million for the Parent Company UniCredit
S.p.A.
Detailed information on risks deriving from pending legal proceedings is provided in the financial statements. In particular, with regard to
proceedings involving UniCredit S.p.A., the Notes to the consolidated accounts report updates on:
• Madoff;
• proceedings arising out of the purchase of UniCredit Bank AG (“UCB AG”) by the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. and the related Group
reorganization (Squeeze-out of UCB AG and UCB Austria AG’s minority shareholders);
• Fino Arbitration;
• Euro-denominated bonds issued by EU countries.
In the financial statements report, the Directors inform about the proceedings in matters connected to its operations with clients, which are not
specific to UniCredit group, rather affect the financial sector in general.
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 at 31 December 2022, the total claimed amount against the parent company UniCredit S.p.A. was equal to €1.02 billion, 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 2022, the claimed amount against the parent company
UniCredit S.p.A. was €366 million, mediations included, the Directors report that several financial institutions, including UniCredit group companies,
concluded several derivative contracts, with institutional and non-institutional investors. In Germany and in Italy there are some pending proceedings
towards 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, it should be noted, as set out in previous Reports that 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 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 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 Zagrebacka banka d.d. (“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 May 2022, the ECJ rendered a preliminary ruling regarding the pending requests and stated that i) the ECJ has jurisdiction only in respect to the
conversion agreement concluded after Croatia’s accession to the EU, (ii) the Directive on unfair terms in consumer contracts is not applicable in
868 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
cases in which the conversion was based on national law; and iii) any request for payment of amounts addressed to Zaba referring to the unfair
contractual terms of the original loan agreement cannot be based on the provisions of the above-mentioned Directive. The ECJ also referred to the
Local Courts to finally decide on the conversion agreements and their effects. In March 2021 the Constitutional Court rejected Zaba’s application
related to the invalidity of the Swiss franc currency clause. In December 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that customers who converted under the
Conversion Amendments are entitled to the penalty interest on their overpayments before the conversion (overpayments are the difference between
the Swiss-franc denominated annuities paid before the conversion and annuities that would have been paid if the loan was euro denominated). In
light of the above, the Directors stated that the provisions which have been booked, are deemed appropriate.
On 2 February 2022, the National Assembly of Republic of Slovenia approved a law aimed at restructuring consumer loans denominated in CHF,
or those contractually linked to CHF, originated between 28 June 2004 and 31 December 2010, effectively retroactively introducing a 10% exchange
rate cap which limits the amount to be repaid by customers, as capital or interest, following revaluation of the CHF against the Euro.
During the first half of 2022, Slovenian banks filed a petition to the Slovenian Constitutional court to verify the constitutionality of the law also asking,
pending the final ruling by the Court, the suspension of its effects.
As explained by the Directors in the financial statements, as at 30 June 2022, no provision was recognized in light of (i) The circumstance that the
Slovenian Constitutional court, admitting the request by the banks, suspended the effects of the law and (ii) The assessment, supported by an
external counsel, of the likelihood that the law will be abrogated by the Constitutional court.
During the fourth quarter 2022, the Constitutional Court annulled such law in its entirety, deeming it unconstitutional as it is retroactive and lacking
such retroactivity public interest. In light of this, none of the obligations imposed on the banks by such law can be applied.
Among other proceedings, which are explained in the financial statements, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined in-depth the Bitminer case in
the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for which there are no significant updates to date since the previous Report to the Shareholders' Meeting.
In 2019, a local customer, Bitminer Factory d.o.o. Gradiška ("Bitminer"), filed a lawsuit before the Commercial Section of the Court in Banja Luka
claiming damages for the allegedly unjustified termination of its current accounts by UniCredit Bank a.d. Banja Luka (“UCBL”), a subsidiary of the
parent company UniCredit S.p.A. in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska. Bitminer alleged that the termination of its accounts would have
obstructed its initial coin offering (ICO) relating to a start-up renewable-energy-powered cryptocurrency mining project in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On 30 December 2021, the Court of First Instance adopted most of Bitminer's claims and ordered UCBL to pay damages in the amount of BAM
256,326,152 (approximately €131.2 million). UCBL appealed the decision in January 2022. The first instance court decision is not final, biding, or
enforceable. The ultimate liability of UCBL, if any, will be determined only after all ordinary legal remedies have been exhausted, and in any case not
before the final and binding decision of the Appellate Court.
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 specialized 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 statements 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 by the Bank 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 to the Council of State and with a sentence dated 11 March 2021, the Council of State partially accepted the appeal
brought by UniCredit S.p.A. against the fine imposed, by reducing the amount of the fine to €2.8 million and sentenced AGCM to return €1.2 million,
amount which was reimbursed in June 2021.
As at 31 December 2022, UniCredit S.p.A. received reimbursement requests for a total amount of about €413 million (cost originally incurred by the
Clients) from No.12,381 Customers; according to a preliminary analysis, such requests fulfill the requirements envisaged by the "customer care”
initiative; the finalization 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 above (€413 million), reimbursed
No.11,906 customers for about €404 million (equivalent value of original purchases), equal to about 98% of the reimbursement requests said above.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
In order to cope with the probable risks of loss related to the repurchases of diamonds, a dedicated Provision for risks and charges 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, in line with a strategy that envisages its disposal in the short term, the gems purchased are recognized for about €54 million in item “120.
Other assets” of the balance sheet.
On 19 February 2019, the judge in charge of the preliminary investigation at the Court of Milan had 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 Article 25-octies of Legislative Decree 231/2001 for the crime of self-laundering.
On 2 October 2019, the Bank and certain individuals had received the notice of conclusion of the investigations pursuant to Article 415-bis of the
Italian Code of criminal procedure. The notice had 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 S.p.A. individuals only pertain to the offence of fraud. Such new allegations did
not modify the overall investigative framework as per the notice served in the autumn of 2019. In June 2021 the public prosecutor had issued the
formal request of indictment against certain current and former employees. The case was transferred to the Prosecution Office of Trieste following
jurisdiction challenges made by the suspected individuals. The case, which had reached the preliminary hearing phase, is back at the investigations
stage. The interim seizures of €33 million and €72 thousand ordered in February 2019 have been lifted.
In February 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Trieste made the request to dismiss natural persons with reference to the charge of
self-laundering and issued the decree of dismissal against the Bank. The measure has already been submitted for approval of the Prosecutor
General at the Court of Appeal of Trieste, who ratified the Prosecutor's action, thus decreeing the definitive conclusion of the case for the Bank. With
regard to the charge of self-laundering, the case is closed, as the Judge for Preliminary Investigations issued the corresponding decree of dismissal,
accepting the Public Prosecutor's request. As for the charge of fraud against individuals, the file will be referred back to the Public Prosecutor's
Office of Milan.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, acting as 231 Supervisory Body, followed, as stated in the previous Reports to the Shareholders’ Meeting, the
event development up to its conclusion as reported above.
With regard to other claims by customers, 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 Banca d’Italia, the Bank noted the
guidelines issued by the Authority and by decision of Constitutional Court of 22 December 2022 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 labor 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, 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 mechanism.
As stated in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures, the types of control at UniCredit, in compliance with current law
and drawing inspiration from international best practices, are structured on three levels:
• line controls (so-called first-level controls), in charge of the corporate functions responsible for business/operating activities, devoted to ensure the
proper operations’ functioning;
• risk and compliance controls (so-called second-level controls), in charge of the Group Compliance and Group Risk Management functions, each
regarding the matters in their sphere of competence;
• internal audit (so-called third-level controls), in charge of the Internal Audit function.
The Group Compliance, Group Risk Management and Internal Audit functions are separated and hierarchically independent from the corporate
functions that carry out the activities subject to their control. The Board of Directors has exclusive competence – based on a proposal made by the
Internal Controls & Risks Committee, as well as after hearing the Board of Statutory Auditors – over the appointment and removal of the Heads of
said Corporate Control functions.
As per Banca d’Italia Circular No.285, corporate control functions also include the anti-money laundering and validation functions set up via Group
Compliance and Group Risk Management respectively.
The Board of Statutory Auditors stated having performed a regular and constant exchange of relevant information with the above-mentioned Control
functions during the reference period. It also stated that the above-mentioned Control functions have fulfilled their information obligations towards
the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Furthermore, in order to ensure a constant and prompt information flow with Internal Audit, the Head of the function is permanently invited to attend
the Board of Statutory Auditors’ meetings.
Based on the information acquired and included in the 2022 Internal Audit function Report (Integrated Audit Report), the internal control system
was rated overall as “Mostly Adequate” by the same function, due also to the maintenance of a strong focus and a strict discipline on the completion
of remedial actions, with regard to both audit findings and those of the Authorities.
During the reference period, the Board of Statutory Auditors received and discussed, with the Internal Audit Department, several Audit Reports, and
some special investigations. With regard to all audit reports rated “Inadequate” or “Partially Adequate” and other audit reports of greater significance,
the Board of Statutory Auditors required to be kept informed about the implementation of the relevant Remediation Plan. In this regard, a new
process was put in place in order to monitor the execution of remedial plans, from simplification and efficiency perspective.
In general, in 2022, the risks and the related monitoring analyzed by Internal Audit as part of the internal control system are : (i) Credit risk (rated as
“Mostly Adequate”, see also the following section “Credit risk”); (ii) NFR (Non-Financial Risk) - Compliance (rated as “Mostly Adequate”); (iii) NFR -
ICT (rated as “Mostly Adequate”); (iv) NFR Operational/Reputational (rated as “Mostly Adequate”), for which the Bank and the Group keep working
on further increasing their levels of risk management application standards.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined in detail the root causes underlying the issues highlighted by the audit reports, also calling on the Parent
Company's central structures to maintain a strong focus on steering and control at all Group companies, also in light of the important application
projects underway in relation to the review of organizational models and the control framework.
Credit Risk
With regard to credit risk, the Internal Audit assessment is confirmed “Mostly Adequate" in the main LEs, due also to the improvement of the overall
credit risk assessment for UniCredit S.p.A., raised from the previous “Partially Satisfactory” to “Mostly Adequate" in the 2Q 2022; this is mainly due
to the Empowerment Project completion and the project set-up for the overall second-level controls framework (2LC Framework on credit risk). Such
progress is confirmed by the outcomes of dedicated audit analyses performed in the 4Q 2022 and is followed by the continuation of the IRB model
maintenance, as planned.
The Board of Statutory Auditors paid specific attention to the impacts on the Group's portfolio resulting from the external environment, characterized
by the macroeconomic effects of the conflict triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the consequent initiatives of the Bank (see also Chapter 7
above).
The Board of Statutory Auditors kept monitoring the credit risk by examining the specific periodic reports prepared by Group Risk Management
together with those relating to the Credit Risk Strategy and monitoring the evolution of the Risk Appetite Framework.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Overall, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted the actions implemented by the Group Risk Management resulting in: (i) The sound asset quality and
the good quality of the origination process; (ii) The further decrease of the NPE stock, in line with the reduction targets set within the “UniCredit
Unlocked” strategic plan; (iii) The decrease of the Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) as a result of active portfolio management; (iv) The significant
decrease of cross-border exposure to Russia; (v) The cost of risk (excluding Russia) better than the market guidance.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also paid specific attention to the actions implemented by the Bank in relation to the exposure to the so-called
“leveraged finance” (which ECB stated as one of the Supervisory Priorities for the 2022-2024 period) and noted the trend towards a reduction in line
with the Supervisor's expectations of the related portfolio, which was achieved in particular as a result of the methodological reinforcements
introduced. The Board of Statutory Auditors has already planned to keep monitoring such portfolio management.
The Board of Statutory Auditors kept monitoring the reorganization and simplification of the Group Risk Management function launched in 2021,
paying specific attention to:
• the implementation and go-live in Italy, of the above-mentioned Project Empowerment (see also paragraph 9 below), aimed at strengthening the
control framework and accountability of the first line of defense (Business) with delegated powers for credit decisions (within clear credit strategies
and rules), and at strengthening the oversight of the second line of defense (Risk Management);
• the implementation of the actions foreseen by the Group’s “Credit Risk Control Framework” project, developed during 2022 aimed at strengthening
the risk management of credit processes, harmonizing the control framework among the different LEs, strengthening the Parent Company’s
steering role and providing a comprehensive view of credit processes and controls to Management and Governance Bodies. The Board of
Statutory Auditors noted the assurance activity performed by the Internal Audit function, which assessed the project’s organisation, design, roles
and responsibilities of the control framework, the completeness of controls from content perspective, and the Parent Company’s steering capacity
(see “Project Assurance on 2LC Framework on Credit Risk Project”, report rated “Mostly Adequate”).
The Board of the Statutory Auditors recognised the importance, within the new organizational set-up, of implementing an effective Group-wide
control framework for Credit Risk Control and noted the results achieved, specifically in terms of (i) The set-up of a common control catalogue, (ii)
The harmonisation of the risk assessment methodology, (iii) The provision of the Quality Assurance performance by the Parent Company and (iv)
The definition of a monitoring, reporting and escalation process at Group and Legal Entity level.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the new Global Policy Control Framework - Credit Risk, which implementation was launched in
2023.
The BoSA examined the update of the “Group Credit Risk Management Framework” Global Policy performed as part of an initiative launched by the
Management with the aim of strengthening the internal policy framework itself by making it clearer and easier to use and avoiding duplication and
redundancies. The BoSA observed that the policy review reflected the renewed organizational set-up, including the new managerial Committees,
and further aligned the provisions in relation to the Chief Risk Officer’s role in the Credit Committees with the EBA guidelines.
The Board of Statutory Auditors discussed on several occasions the Group’s approach to climate and environmental risk, which affects various risk
categories and in particular Credit Risk. The BoSA reviewed, inter alia, the outcome of the 2022 ECB Climate Stress Test and the ECB Thematic
Review, discussing the Bank’s planned actions and recommending a strong Management commitment in this regard, while continuing to emphasise
specifically the need to strengthen the internal capacities and skills, as well as the full integration of such risks into the credit risk assessment
processes, also by the Business functions.
With reference to Internal Models, the Board of Statutory Auditors, during its supervisory activities has positively noted, through regular updates with
the relevant functions, that:
• the development and validation activities foreseen by the IRB Model Roadmap continued with some submissions rescheduled, mainly due to the
need to ensure full alignment with the latest regulatory requirements;
• all model-related activities planned to address ECB's findings are on-track;
• the validation framework is up and running at Group level and is based on: (i) Organizational set-up directly reporting to the Group CRO (Chief
Risk Officer) mirrored in Group Companies; (ii) GIV steering - Group Internal Validation on Local Validation functions; (iii) Common validation
methodological standards for IRB models.
With regard to credit risk (IRB Systems), the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the preliminary results of the annual ”Basel II Credit Risk” audit
under finalization at the date of this Report. The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the audit activities performed in 2022 to verify the overall
functioning of the internal rating systems confirms that the IRB regulatory requirements are met overall. The Board of Statutory Auditors positively
observed that the 2021 “Partially Adequate” evaluation has been upgraded to “Mostly Adequate” because the development function achieved the
main milestones, and the progress made in addressing the Regulatory Findings related to the IRB models. In addition, the Board of Statutory
Auditors noted that the audit analyses carried out at UniCredit S.p.A. during 2022 (which covered the “Credit risk stress testing modelling
framework”, “Group Wide EAD model” and “Modeling Governance”) in all cases showed a “Mostly Adequate” assessment.
872 2022 Annual Report and Accounts · UniCredit
Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The Board of Statutory Auditors also examined the annual Group Internal Validation (GIV) audit, which focused on: (i) The Validation framework for
the IRB and IFRS9 models, including changes defined in response to Internal Audit and Supervisory findings; (ii) The planning, tracking and
appropriate execution of the validation processes. The Board of Statutory Auditors noted that the Internal Audit function assessed the analysis as
“Mostly Adequate”. Such assessment was supported specifically by:
• the resolution of most of the gaps previously highlighted by the Internal Audit function and the Supervisor;
• the execution of the validation activities, which also allowed for the completion of activities postponed in previous years;
• the adequacy of Governance structure, due to the complete and appropriate formalisation of the function's organizational set-up.
In addition to the above, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined, inter alia, the following audit reports with a “Mostly Adequate” rating: “Global
Audit Credit Risk Reporting”; “Direct Workout Management Process”; “Monitoring Individuals - Pre-delinquency framework”; “Global Audit on
Commercial Real Estate Financing - CE&EE”; “Credit Delegations- Empowerment’s Programme Implementation”, “Global Audit - Forbearance
process enhancements”; “Global Audit Digital Consumer Lending” – “Digital Consumer Lending – Italy”.
Financial Risks
As part of its control activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors regularly monitored the evolution of the Group’s Financial Risk situation (liquidity,
interest rate, market, and counterparty risk) by periodically receiving information from the Group Financial Risk structure as part of its quarterly
analysis of the “Group Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and Integrated Risk Report (IRR)”.
In view of the complex macroeconomic environment and the increased market volatility over the period considered, the Board of Statutory Auditors
paid specific attention to:
• trend of the Group's liquidity indicators;
• ECB-determined changes to the Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) rates and post-TLTRO scenarios;
• impacts of market volatility on FX, interest rates and commodities;
• evolution of the Sovereign portfolio;
• trend of exposure to derivative contracts and Counterparty Credit Risk;
• results of second level control activities;
• outcomes of supervisory exercise and stress tests.
As a whole, the Board of Statutory Auditors noted no detection of significant critical issues. With regard to liquidity, the BoSA observed that, in 2022,
the main structural liquidity ratios (Funding Gap, Net Stable Funding Ratio and Structural Liquidity) remained above the limits imposed in the Risk
Appetite Framework and that the liquidity stress tests executed in the Group showed positive outcomes in all cases.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted the confirmation of Internal Audit’s “Mostly Adequate” evaluation, at Group level, for the Financial Risk and no
critical issues reported by ECB as a result of its activities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined, inter alia, the following audit reports rated “Mostly Adequate”: “2021 Annual Report on Liquidity Risk and
ILAAP”; “ICS on Collateral Management”; “FRTB - Alternative Delta and Vega sensitivities”; “Alternative Standardized Approach”; “FX Structural
Risk”; “Audit on Fund Transfer Pricing”.
In the period under examination, the Board of Statutory Auditors met with the relevant functions and examined, inter alia:
• the Updates on the TLTRO Strategy;
• the outcomes of the 2021 ILAAP process (Group Internal Liquidity Capital Adequacy Assessment Process), which confirm the improvement trend
and allow the Group’s liquidity risk framework to be considered adequate; in particular, the GRM’s assessment is “Adequate/Mostly Adequate"
whereas the Internal Audit’s assessment is “Mostly Adequate”;
• the Single Resolution Board’s (SRB) final decision on MREL, Resolution Plan and Resolvability Assessment for the UniCredit Group;
• the “2023 UniCredit Group Financial Plan and projections up to 2025”;
• the “2023 Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Strategy”;
• the “FX Structural Risk Strategy and hedging solutions for 2023”.
Pursuant to Bank of Italy Circular 285/2013, the Board of Statutory Auditors also gave its positive opinion on the changes performed in the Second
Guaranteed Bank Bonds Programme (OBG).
Non-Financial Risks
As part of its control activities, the Board of Statutory Auditors regularly monitored the situation development related to the Group’s Non- Financial
Risks (operational and reputational risks, ICT/Cyber risks, and compliance risks) by periodically receiving information from the Group Non-
Financial Risks (GNFR) structure as part of the quarterly “Group Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and Integrated Risk Report (IRR)” review.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
The BoSA examined the trend of operational losses and Operational Risk Weighted Assets, the outcomes of the periodic risk assessments and
second-level controls on ICT and Cyber Risk and positively noted that the decreasing trend of the gross operational losses went on also in 2022,
reaching a record low level.
The BoSA was updated on the initiatives included in the Group Digital IT Strategy 2022-2024, not finding any particular deviations from the planning.
The BoSA verified how, within the MYP, the hiring and reskilling process keeps on, also through the delivery of suitable training and job learning
programmes.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the most relevant topics in the Digital IT and Digital Security area and welcomed the continuation of the IT
incidents decreasing trend and of the positive IT availability trend in 2022. The BoSA analyzed the positive trend of the Digital Strategy KPIs and the
results of the Digital Security Posture which confirmed the growth of the Group’s maturity level in relation to ICT Security. As part of the broader
Group Digital Security Strategy, the BoSA observed the improvements made to the Global Security Operations Center (SOC), the centralized
security unit responsible for monitoring, analyzing, and protecting against cyberattacks. In addition, with regard to Cyber Risk, its monitoring did not
highlight particular critical issues.
With regard to Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Crisis Management, the BoSA discussed with the Internal Audit function the preliminary
results of the activities performed, which will be reflected in the forthcoming “2022 BCM Group Annual Overview”, from which positive outcomes
resulted both in terms of the individual dedicated audits’ assessment, and in terms of the effective Management response observed in mitigating the
identified risks.
The BoSA analyzed the documentation related to “Amendments to the Emergency and Crisis Management Plan of UniCredit S.p.A. (part of BC -
Business Continuity Plan)”, whose changes concerned, inter alia: (i) The quantitative description of the escalation decision-making and crisis
definition process with a matrix that contemplates the financial, regulatory, operational and reputational impacts; (ii) The simplification of the
escalation process (iii) The Chief Executive Officer’s power to dynamically decide on the optimal composition of the executive crisis management
support team (providing for the mandatory presence of the Control functions in the representatives’ team); (iv) Informing the Board of Directors and
the Regulator, in the event of a maximum alert, about the assignment of temporary extraordinary powers to the Chief Executive Officer.
With regard to the compliance risk (see also the specific section below), the Board of Statutory Auditors paid specific attention to the results of the
KPIs monitoring relating to Financial Sanctions, in light of the constantly evolving sanctions framework due to the progressive introduction of new
sanctions against Russia, by the Authorities.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also received the preview from the Internal Audit function regarding the “Mostly Adequate” outcome of the audits
performed in relation to Operational Risk Management and measurement processes (ORM) implemented for Advanced Measurement Approach
(AMA), which will be showed in the forthcoming “2022 Basel II - Operational Risk - AMA Internal Audit Report”.
With regard to Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), the BoSA examined: (i) The status of the Group-wide implementation activities of the “Global
Policy - Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) for Non-Outsourcing arrangements”, which gathered the two previous separate Policies on
Outsourcing and Non-Outsourcing in a single Policy, by transposing the ECB’s strengthening requests and some new external regulations such as
those on cybersecurity and on the “Single Resolution Board”; (ii) The ECB recommendations on Third Party Outsourcing and Non-Outsourcing. In
this regard, the BoSA discussed the outcomes of the “Global Audit on Outsourcing and Third-party risk management”, which positively assessed the
Group’s management, monitoring, and mitigation of outsourcing and third-party risks, finding areas for improvement in relation to the monitoring of
sub-outsourcers’ processes.
With regard to the most relevant organizational changes, the Board of Statutory Auditors analyzed the creation, within the GNFR structure, of the
Digital Risks unit, dedicated to the IT Risks and Cyber Risks’ control. The reorganization, which was developed in line with the new organizational
set-up following the merger by incorporation of UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. into UC S.p.A., followed a complete and extensive organizational model
review implemented in the Cyber Risks area in collaboration with the Group Digital Security; such reorganization is in line with the Internal Audit and
ECB’s recommendations. The Board of Statutory Auditors welcomed the above-mentioned reorganization, which was supported by the
strengthening of the dedicated staff, both in terms of resources’ number and skills.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted, as mentioned above, the confirmation of the Internal Audit’s “Mostly Adequate” assessment, at Group level,
with regard to compliance, operational, reputational, and ICT Non-Financial risks.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors received updates from the External Auditors’ experts on the audit activities related to the Bank's and the
Group’s information systems (ISAE 3402 Report KPMG), their design and operational effectiveness.

Compliance Risk
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors discussed the quarterly ICR Report (Integrated Compliance Report) as well as the Compliance
Function’s Annual Report (“UniCredit Group Annual Compliance Report – 2022”), which was also submitted to the Board of Directors on 16
February 2023. Such Report included the assessments performed regarding potential compliance risks at UniCredit S.p.A. and Group level.
The above-mentioned Report also fulfilled the requirements of CONSOB Regulation No. 20307/2018 and Article 89 of CONSOB Regulation No.
20197/2017.
Considering the results of the compliance risk assessment and second-level controls carried out, the activities completed in accordance with the
2022 Compliance Plan, the Compliance function expressed an overall “Mostly Adequate” assessment on the non-compliance risk management for
UniCredit S.p.A. and the Group Companies. Improvements were reported in the AML, Financial Sanctions and Conduct Risk areas; the MiFID area
showed a stable residual risk compared to the previous period.
The Board of Statutory Auditors discussed regular updates, during the year, on the progress of the Compliance Next Program, the development
plan to reorganize the Compliance function model and its operating procedures, approved by the Board of Directors in September 2021, which was
also drawn up based on an external assessment carried out on the compliance risk framework.
The Board of Statutory Auditors believed that the implementation of the Compliance Next Program - whose planned initiatives will develop in the
2021-2025 period - will gradually ensure a decisive and homogeneous strengthening of the compliance risk control framework within the Group, as
well as a repositioning of the operational mission of the Compliance function itself, with greater focus on its compliance advisory role.
The Compliance Next’s progress was in line with the planning, with more than 50% of scheduled activities completed, 12% of activities ahead of
schedule, with the remaining actions in progress. As part of the Compliance Next Program, the BoSA noted in particular the steps taken with regard
to:
• Pillar Governance, with the issuance of a Global Policy to be implemented at Local level in 2Q 2023, relating to the Model of cooperation among
the first line of defence - first level controls and Compliance);
• Pillar People & Culture, by issuing the new Code of Conduct;
• Pillar AFC/NO AFC (anti-financial crime), with the completion of the Group first-level controls’ catalogue for the AML, MiFID, Banking
Transparency regulatory areas.
The BoSA emphasized once again the importance of strengthening the first-level controls’ system to monitor the compliance risks and other risk
categories.
During 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors observed the Compliance function’s commitment to contribute to the ESG Governance framework for
its competency profiles, with specific regard to the ESG Compliance Framework set-up and other ongoing initiatives, which the Board of Statutory
Auditors encourages to pursue fully and in detail throughout 2023.
With regard to complaints, the Board of Statutory Auditors analyzed the contents of the aforementioned “UniCredit Group Annual Compliance
Report - 2022” which showed, with regard to UniCredit S.p.A., a number of written complaints received in 2022 amounting to 43,340 (down by 16%
compared to 2021). The main reasons for the complaints received related the issues: CQS-Salary-backed loans, General Complaints (Branch
Service/Contact Center) and Cards. With regard to disbursements, the complaints accepted with refund in 2022 amounted to €8.5 million (down by
7% compared to 2021).
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors kept examining the issues related to the AML/FC (Anti-money laundering/Financial Crime) area,
requiring specific updates from the competent functions, also with specific reference to the more general issue of the tightening of Financial
Sanctions following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The activities performed by the Compliance function for the self-assessment of money laundering
and terrorist financing risks have identified for UniCredit S.p.A., as at 31 December 2022, a “Medium-Low” and “Medium-High” residual risk level
respectively.
The Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) area was closely monitored by the Compliance function, with specific reference, in some Group
Companies, to the right to be forgotten; in general, in this area, several strengthening actions were undertaken during 2022, including the alignment
of the GDPR/Data protection risk assessment to new internal methodologies as well as initiatives aimed at increasing knowledge and awareness of
the GDPR regulation. The GDPR risk assessment activities for UniCredit S.p.A. involved a medium-high inherent risk assessment mainly
determined by factors related to UniCredit’s size and operations (e.g. number of individuals whose data are processed, number of IT processes and
applications involved). The monitoring and control framework was considered appropriate to face the related potential risks.
The Board of Statutory Auditors periodically examined the so-called “whistleblowing” reports received in its function as 231 Supervisory Body of
UniCredit S.p.A., analyzing in-depth, with the support of the competent Compliance and People & Culture structures, the whistleblowing reports that
may involve issues of misconduct/unlawful conduct, regardless of their significance pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. The BoSA then
noted the information on the misconduct reporting included in the above-mentioned Annual Report. In detail, UniCredit S.p.A. received 98 reports in
2022 (down by 7% compared to 2021). The Management believes that the trend of reports’ total number received in the last three years, at Group

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
level, is progressively decreasing, presumably due to the high use of remote working, which reduces the opportunity to intercept any alleged
unlawful conduct and decreases the potential conflicts related to labour relationships; it is worth mentioning the spread of the speak-up culture,
which facilitates the direct dialogue and communication among employees, allowing to resolve misunderstandings more easily.
The Board of Statutory Auditors positively noted that the whistleblowing reporting process in UniCredit S.p.A. resulted robust and aligned with the
international best practices, as also confirmed by the Independent External Party during the OFAC Compliance review carried out in November 2022
and noted the several initiatives and campaigns implemented in 2022 aimed at increasing awareness of the whistleblowing process among all
employees, by promoting a broader speak-up culture.
However, given the topic’s sensitivity and significance, the Board of Statutory Auditors called on the Management and the People & Culture function
to continue actively promoting a corporate culture characterized by correct behavior and to pay the utmost attention to the correct behavior taken by
the Group’s human resources.
Other risks - Main and emerging risks
In the context of a rapidly changing regulatory framework and external scenario, the Board of Statutory Auditors had the opportunity to analyze some
of the main changes in terms of main and emerging risks, with the relevant functions, noting that the related uncertainties, including those
conditioned by the context, are however addressed through the existing risk management framework.
With regard to such changes, the following were considered significant during 2022: (i) Impacts from the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii)
The Russian-Ukraine conflict; (iii) Macroeconomic and geo-political challenges in the world; (iv) Climate and environmental change risks; (v)
Cybersecurity risk; (vi) Risks resulting from current regulatory developments.
With regard to the cybersecurity risk, as also reported in the financial statements, it is noted that the UniCredit Group did not suffer any data loss
through cyberattacks in 2022, despite the ever-increasing threat of cyberattacks. The BoSA discussed on several occasions the constant
strengthening of the protection measures adopted by the Group.
Other contributions
With reference to the additional reporting containing information on the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Statutory Auditors
noted that, at the date of the present Report, the relevant structures are assessing the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), and
the overall functionality of the internal liquidity adequacy assessment process (ILAAP), for 2022, whose reports will be prepared within the deadlines
set by the regulations in force.
During 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the review of the 2021 ICAAP and ILAAP assessments, observed for both ICAAP and ILAAP
processes that the main indications previously received from ECB or Internal Audit function were considered and/or included in appropriate action
plans and that the relevant regulatory provisions were duly considered by the Bank.
To conclude, the Board of Statutory Auditors did not identify any critical situations or facts which would lead to the conclusion that the overall
internal control and risk management system is deemed not adequate, even if situations, which required the planning and targeting of specific
remedial actions have arisen and are in some cases still ongoing.
9. Oversight of the adequacy of the organizational structure
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the Annual Report prepared by the competent Group Organizational Excellence structure which deems
the UniCredit S.p.A.’s organizational structure to be adequate, due to 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.
Organizational structure
UniCredit adopts an organizational and business model that, while guaranteeing, on one hand, the autonomy of Countries/local Banks on specific
activities in order to ensure greater proximity to customers and efficient decision-making processes, maintains, on the other hand, a divisional
structure for the governance of business/product, as well as global control over Digital & Information and Operation Functions.
More specifically, the organizational structure of the Holding Company can be broken down into:
• Group Finance, Group Risk Management, Group Legal, Group Compliance, Group People & Culture, the functions identified as Competence
Lines (CL), together with Internal Audit, aimed at guiding, coordinating, and controlling, for their respective areas of competence, the management
of activities and related risks of Group as a whole and of the single Legal Entities;
• Italy, Germany, Central Europe & Eastern Europe, Group Client Solutions Divisions: the Business Divisions/Functions, responsible for proposing
and implementing the business strategies and maximizing the risk-adjusted value creation for the relevant perimeter, concentrating the
responsibility for marketing, service model definition and product development activities referred to customers in their respective
segments/geographies;
• Group Digital & Information Division, responsible for defining and executing the Group’s digital transformation through the management of
technology and data, embedded into digital solutions that optimize execution and improve the customer experience;

Company financial statements | Report and resolutions
Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
• Group Operations, responsible for overseeing the operating machine with specific focus on costs, procurement, real estate, operations
performance management, corporate “physical security” and “health & safety”, in line with the defined Group strategies, by ensuring at the same
time synergies, savings and operational excellence;
• Group Stakeholder Engagement governs the Group’s reputation and oversees all communication activities to ensure the delivery of coordinated
and consistent messages towards the Group’s multiple stakeholders (investor relations, identity and communication, relationships with institutional
counterparties and with the European Banking Supervisory Authorities - e.g. EBA, ECB - and Banca d’Italia);
• Group Strategy & ESG, responsible for supporting strategic initiatives, including the integration of ESG into the Group’s strategy.
The Group Strategy and ESG and Group Stakeholder Engagement and Group CEO Staff functions represent the “CEO Office” aimed at supporting
the Chief Executive Officer in the definition and steering of strategic initiatives.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined on several occasions the main organizational changes occurred in 2022, following the overall
organizational review implemented with the appointment of the new Top Management in April 2021, including:
• the merger by incorporation of UniCredit Services S.C.p.A. into UniCredit S.p.A., which simplified the governance of IT services by overcoming the
partial “dichotomy” between the Parent Company and the Factory, resulting in a series of changes to the Bank’s organizational set-up, both within
the Group Digital & Information and in Group Operations, as well as in the Competence Line’s functions (which incorporated the responsibilities of
the respective functions of UniCredit Services, adapting their organizational set-up where necessary);
• the merger by incorporation of Cordusio SIM S.p.A, by reallocating the Cordusio SIM’s commercial network, activities and resources within the
UniCredit S.p.A.’s organizational structure;
• the Italy Division, within the Italy perimeter, has been affected by several functional initiatives, inter alia, to reduce managerial levels between the
Division and the Regions, create points of synthesis and further simplify the decision-making chain, through the constitution/revision of the
functions under its direct reporting (“CEO Office Strategies”; “Client Strategies”; ”Administrative Office”, “Finance Italy”; the BoSA noted the
continuation of the organizational review project aimed at increasing the autonomy of the Italy Division, which has been made more distinct from
the Parent Company’s functions;
• with reference to the Regions, in order to enhance the Network, some local territorial structures have been reallocated by the Corporate Center
directly reporting to the Regions.
Further considerations on the Group’s organizational set-up are referred to below in relation to steering activities.
Finally, the structure and composition of some Management Committees (including the Product Committee; the Italy Executive Committee; the Italy
Transactional Credit Committee) have been consistently reviewed.
Empowerment Project Italy
The Board of Statutory Auditors kept monitoring the implementation of the Empowerment project (see also section 8 above) launched in 2021 as
part of the initiatives aimed at strengthening business activities and decision-making processes and aimed at transferring operational activities and
related credit delegations to the Italy Division.
The Board of Statutory Auditors verified how the different project’s phases were completed, as planned, during 2022, and that at the end of the first
semester the new framework became fully operational in UniCredit S.p.A., through delegated powers and strengthening of controls involving the
Risk Management functions (which are responsible for defining the ex-ante risk appetite, limits and ex post controls, the issuing of prior risk opinion
above defined thresholds), appropriate escalation processes where necessary, as well as the in-depth knowledge and proximity to clients by the
Network Territorial level, supported and improved by an additional training plan aimed at strengthening the credit skills already held by the roles.
Within the project, organizational changes have been made regarding the shift of the territorial “Poli Creditizi”, in the first phase, and of the territorial
“Credit Hub” and related responsibilities, in the second phase (effective since June 2022), from Group Risk Management (Risk Italy) function to
hierarchical report to the different Regions within Italy (Italy Network) perimeter, with the assignment of new delegated powers to the Business and
with a functional reporting line to Risk Italy.
The Board of Statutory Auditors analyzed:
• the strengthening of the controls’ framework, both at first and second level;
• the clear separation of roles and responsibilities in the credit process;
• the important improvements in Risk Culture and Business Engagement, achieved through comprehensive training programme, also aimed at
obtaining specific certifications, provided for the benefit of all Network staff and Senior Management involved in the process;
• no significant change in the quality of underwriting and the overall adherence of the origination activities’ evolution with rules, policies, and
objectives.
The Board of Statutory Auditors verified the cooperation of Internal Audit to the project, where the function acted as Advisor. The BoSA received
from Internal Audit periodic updates about the implementation activities’ progress, as well as the “Mostly Adequate” evaluation of a recent audit
analysis that verified the correct implementation of the new framework in the IT tools and under which a credit file review was performed.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
In 2022, as part of its control functions, the Board of Statutory Auditors visited a Region of UniCredit S.p.A.’s Italian Network. During the meeting,
which was organised with the support of the Internal Audit function, the Board of Statutory Auditors, inter alia, interviewed with the Network's
Management and with the local representatives of the Risk Italy function about the implementation of the Empowerment project. The BoSA noted
the positive feedback regarding: (i) Fluid functioning of the new framework; (ii) Effectiveness in reinforcing awareness and discipline in credit
activities in the first line; (iii) Constant interaction and sharing with the second level control function that the new process allows maintaining
throughout the entire assessment process. On this occasion, the Board of Statutory Auditors also examined, during a dedicated workshop, a specific
case of credit granting developed according to the new decision-making framework.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, considering the significance of the Empowerment project, expressed its willingness to keep monitoring the new
organizational structure and the evolution coherence of the new business with the risk appetite and the Multi-Year Plan objectives.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also noted the results of the “Su misura per te” project, launched in July 2021 with the aim of containing certain day-
to-day activities performed by the Network that were considered low-added value and time-consuming; the Board of Statutory Auditors noted the
savings achieved in terms of FTEs and no impacts on risk praesidium.
Steering activity
During the period, the Board of Statutory Auditors kept monitoring the issues related to the Parent Company’s steering activities, focusing on the
coordination, direction, and control of Group Companies.
In particular, the BoSA positively noted several initiatives launched or implemented by the Management, including, the guidelines (“blueprints”) of the
Group’s organizational model, performed by Group Organizational Excellence in conjunction with other functions, in order to harmonize the definition
of roles and responsibilities, strengthening the accountability of the Parent Company and subsidiary functions with regard to expected content and
activities, representing a clear direction for the evolution of local organizational structures. The model thus defined, which is implemented in all
Group’s banks, is aimed at strengthening the Parent Company’s steering and, at the same time, increasing the clarity of the organizational
structures to be implemented at local level. The Board of Statutory Auditors recognised the importance of the Parent Company maintaining a locally
applicable model over time.
To conclude, the Board of Statutory Auditors deemed the overall UniCredit S.p.A.’s organizational structure adequate in its design and
implementation so far, as well as consistent with the Company’s size, the nature of the operations it carries out and the context in which it operates.
The Board of Statutory Auditors will keep monitoring the progressive development of the entire organizational structure itself and its suitability and
operational effectiveness.
Suitability of Control Functions and Activity Plans
Internal Audit Function
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the 2022 Group Audit Plan review and the 2022 Group Audit Plan Mid-Year review, whose reviews were
necessary in the plan and activities’ priority, both as a result of the effects resulting from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and to consider, from a
dynamic perspective, the adjustments that became necessary during the year.
The Board of Statutory Auditors discussed for UniCredit S.p.A. the 2023 Annual Audit Plan and the Long-Term Audit Plan, the latter defined to cover
the UniCredit Audit Universe in the 2023-2027 period, as approved by the Board of Directors in January 2023.
The Audit Plan 2022 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.
The Board of Statutory Auditors discussed with the Independent Expert E&Y, which was appointed by the Bank, the outcomes of the External
Quality Assurance performed during 2022, about the Internal Audit function of UniCredit S.p.A. and 11 Group Legal Entities. The outcome was
“Generally Conforms” for all the examined areas, corresponding to the best judgment available in the international rating scale. This independent
activity is executed every 5 years – according to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing IPPF - by an
independent External Company. The BoSA also examined the results of the Survey performed in 2022, by consulting the stakeholders involved in
the audit activities about different parameters, finding a significant improvement in the results.
During 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined the progress of the LEAP (Leading Enhanced Audit Performance) project, a multi-year
project launched by Internal Audit function in 2021. In the second part of 2022, such project saw the go-live of a series of important initiatives in line
with the planning. The project, also aimed at reviewing the function’s positioning towards the stakeholders, starting with the second-level control
functions, deeply involved the function itself and its operating methods, with specific reference to the governance performed at the Parent Company
level, the steering towards the similar functions of the Group’s companies, the methodologies’ review, the development, the attractiveness and
retaining resources, the tools’ improvement, consistent with the Group's digital transformation project.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Finally, the BoSA was updated on capacity developments and on ongoing actions to overcome any gaps, which it will periodically monitor, in
particular, from a skills perspective. Based on the information acquired, the BoSA considered the function's capacity as adequate to fulfil its tasks.
Group Risk Management
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the GRM and Internal Validation Plan for 2023, approved by the Board of Directors in January 2023,
which is divided into the three pillars of the GRM’s organizational framework: Credit Risk; Financial Risk; Non-Financial Risks and includes the
Validation plan. With regard to each risk pillar, the plan examined the main risk trends expected for 2023 (in accordance with the RAF and ICAAP
processes) and listed the related planned actions in terms of control activities and dedicated project initiatives.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also examined the 2023-2025 Group Internal Validation (GIV) activities plan, which covers all the main validation
activities planned, and also noted the confirmation of the “Mostly Adequate” assessment performed by the Internal Audit function, in UniCredit S.p.A.
and in the main Group Companies, regarding the Risk Management functions, based on the overall adequacy in the identification, measurement and
management of Group risks.
Based on the information acquired, and without prejudice to the need to continue the abovementioned activities of strengthening the framework of
first and second-level controls and of clearly separating roles and responsibilities in the credit process, the Board of Statutory Auditors deems the
size and capacity of the GRM function appropriate to fulfill its tasks and recommends continuing the re-skilling of internal resources and personnel
search, particularly for the more complex profiles to recruite.
Compliance Function
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the changes to the 2022 Compliance Plan which was reviewed during the year to consider the
adjustments resulting from the definition of the Next Compliance Program and the 2023 Group Compliance Plan (approved by the Board of Directors
in January 2023).
The Plan is based on some key drivers including increased regulatory and market trend risks, Compliance Next Program, strategic Bank’s initiatives
and also considers, inter alia, several compliance culture and conduct initiatives, which are cross to all Compliance Plan’s activities and supporting
the execution of the UniCredit Unlocked Plan.
At capacity level, the BoSA noted that during 2022 the number of Compliance Department resources increased by 19% in UniCredit S.p.A., through
both internal and external hiring: the resources’ number can be deemed mostly adequate to fulfill the activities foreseen in its 2023 Plan. In addition,
in order to support specific assessments and actions, the Group Compliance has defined and is implementing a sizing model aimed at evaluating
and defining the correct allocation of resources in the different areas of the function as well as a qualitative skill set mapping.
The BoSA deemed adequate the function’s capacity to fulfil its tasks, based on the information acquired and having also considered the “Mostly
Adequate” assessment of the Compliance function as stated by the Internal Audit, acting as the third-level control function.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Statutory Auditors will continue to closely monitor the evolution of the organizational structure, the
capacity of the Control functions, as well as their independence.
10. Remuneration policies
The Board of Statutory Auditors previously examined the document “Group Incentive System 2023”, issuing a positive opinion at the meeting of
the Board of Directors held on 26 February 2023, emphasizing the importance of formalizing the model adopted, also with regard to the use of
external sources, and that the involvement of the Risk Management and Compliance functions is adequate.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also examined the outcomes of the report issued by the Internal Audit function “2022 Remuneration Policies and
Practices”, closed with a “Mostly Adequate” rating.
Lastly, in compliance with the current regulations, the Board of Statutory Auditors examined specifically the proposals of:
• 2022 Evaluation and execution of previous years' plans for Chief Executive Officer and the Manager in charge of preparing the Financial Reports;
• 2023 Chief Executive Officer compensation review;
• 2023 Goal setting for Chief Executive Officer and the Manager in charge of preparing the Financial Reports,
and after having detailed their opinions and considerations to the Board of Directors, issued its positive opinions in this regard.
With specific reference to the CEO’s remuneration review, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in issuing its opinion, explained in detail the related
reasons, with specific reference to the reasons of the review decided by the Board of Directors, which can be strictly ascribable to merits’
evaluations by the Board itself, not characterised by unreasonableness and consistent with its powers vested in such matter.

11. Sustainability and Integrated Report (Non-Financial Statement)
The Board of Statutory Auditors highlighted that the sustainability is one of the five strategic imperatives of UniCredit Unlocked, built around
principles and beliefs and on four fundamentals:
• leading by example, striving for the same high standards sought from those the Bank does business with;
• setting ambitious ESG goals to support the need of changes for the clients;
• equipping oneself with tools to assist clients and communities in navigating the environmental and social transition, through strategic actions
across the pillars;
• embracing and investing the resources needed to deliver and reach our ambitious targets and long-term commitments, through a strong
governance model, embracing the culture and delivering quality monitoring, reporting and disclosure.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, which considered such matters an essential and crucial aspect of long-term value creation, had the opportunity to
note - also through the active participation of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and another Statutory Auditor, in the ESG
(Environmental, Social, Governance) Board Committee - the attention to sustainability, environmental, social and governance issues lavished by the
Bank.
The Board of Statutory Auditors acknowledged that the path undertaken since 2019, aimed at a greater integration of different topics sustainability-
related in the Group’s corporate strategies, has been strengthened from time to time, although not exhausted.
Initiatives and activities are currently underway and will naturally not be exhausted in the short term, also considering the relevant regulatory
developments, market opportunities and the complexity of fully integrating ESG factors into all the Bank’s processes. The Board of Statutory
Auditors also noted, by examining a report prepared by the Internal Audit function, the progress of the ESG Roadmap, a managerial tool used to
implement the ESG strategy within the Group with the involvement of the Business and Governance functions and to facilitate the coordination of all
related ongoing initiatives.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, in its several meetings held with the relevant structures, inter alia, encouraged the Management to strengthen the
integrated view by incorporating ESG risks into the risk management framework as already highlighted, and to strengthen the role of ESG profiles
within the incentive system.
As reported in the financial statements:
• in October 2021 UniCredit signed up to the Net-Zero Banking Alliance. In line with UNEP FI Guidelines, UniCredit is disclosing its targets for the
three most carbon intensive sectors within the Bank’s portfolio, which include Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Automotive sectors;
• in September 2022, UniCredit also signed the Sustainable Steel Principles (SSP), the first Climate-Aligned Finance agreement for lenders to the
steel industry. The principles were carefully designed over the course of a year by a working group composed of five banks, including UniCredit.
The resulting framework positions lenders to facilitate the Net-Zero transition of the steel industry, providing the necessary tools for client
engagement and advocacy.
The Board noted that the regulatory framework is constantly evolving. Lastly, on 5 January 2023, the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD) came into force. The new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and the related EFRAG (European Financial
Reporting Advisory) sustainability standards, will apply both to financial and larger non-financial companies, as well as listed companies. Finally, a
further important element of the European legislative framework is the proposed directive on the “Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive”
(CSDD), which would introduce the obligation for large companies (financial and non-financial companies) to identify, prevent and mitigate the
adverse impacts of their corporate activities on human rights and the environment, as well as to prepare a transition plan consistent with the Paris
Agreement.
The Board of Statutory Auditors, taking note of Legislative Decree 254/2016 on the disclosure of non-financial information and the implementing
Regulation issued by CONSOB with resolution No. 20267 of 18 January 2018, exercised its functions by supervising the compliance with the
provisions contained therein with regard to the preparation of UniCredit’s 2022 Integrated Report, which constitutes a Non-Financial Statement
(hereinafter referred to as “DNF”), in accordance with Articles 3 and 4 of Legislative Decree 254/2016, approved by the Board of Directors on 24
February 2023.
The Board of Statutory Auditors held several meetings with the function responsible for the Integrated Report’s drafting and the representatives of
the appointed External Auditors (KPMG), by examining the available documentation; the BoSA considered 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”).
The BoSA also examined the report issued by the External Auditors on 6 March 2022, which states that no evidence has come its attention that
would suggest that the UniCredit Group's consolidated non-financial statement for the year ended on 31 December 2022, 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).

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Based on the information acquired, the Board of Statutory Auditors certifies that, during its examination of the Integrated Report, non-compliance
elements 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 Article 2403 of the Italian Civil Code and Article 149 of Legislative
Decree 58/1998 (TUF):
• exercised oversight on the implementation of the corporate governance rules contained in the codes of conduct that the Company declares to
abide by. UniCredit S.p.A. complies with the Corporate Governance Code approved by the Corporate Governance Committee promoted by Ania,
Assogestioni, Assonime, Confindustria and Borsa Italiana, and has prepared, pursuant to Article 123-bis of Italian Legislative Decree No.58/1998
(TUF), the annual “Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure”;
• exercised oversight on the adequacy of the instructions given to subsidiaries pursuant to Art.114, par.2 of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998
(TUF);
• exchanged half-year information and on request with the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the directly controlled companies as required by Art.151,
paragraph 2, of Italian Legislative Decree No.58/1998 (TUF) and by the Supervisory Instructions of Banca d’Italia. Furthermore, in January 2023,
the Board of Statutory Auditors met the Chairmen of the Boards of Statutory Auditors of the main Italian companies of the Group, in order to
receive reports on any critical issues affecting the administration and control systems and the general trend of corporate activity;
• in compliance with the regulations and customary practices, the BoSA met with ECB, acting as Supervisory Authority of the Parent company, for
the purpose of a fruitful exchange of information on subjects of mutual interest, including specific issues illustrated in this Report.
In October 2022, the Board of Statutory Auditors visited the UniCredit S.p.A. New York branch in order to perform its supervisory activities
pursuant to the Supervisory Provisions issued by the Banca d’Italia (Circular 285, Title IV, Chapter 3, Appendix A); in addition, as part of the
performance of its duties as Board of Statutory Auditors of the Parent Company, the BoSA also carried out an examination of some profiles relating
to the UniCredit AG branch. The overall outcomes of the visit and the analyses carried out were deemed very satisfactory.
With a view to constantly 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 Legal
Entities, 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 the subsidiary UniCredit Bank Romania (UCB S.A.) in December 2022. The meeting, which
resulted in an exchange of information with the aim of an integrated governance, with particular reference to specific issues of the Bank itself as well
as cross-party discussions within the Group itself, took place in an open and constructive atmosphere.
In the period between the date of the previous Report of the Board of Statutory Auditors (11 March 2022) and the date of this Report (6 March
2023), the following communications were received, qualified by the shareholders as complaints pursuant to Article 2408 of the Italian Civil Code:
• a certified e-mail communication, dated 12 September 2022, also addressed to the Supervisory Authorities, was received by the shareholder Mr.
Tommaso Marino. The shareholder complained about the omitted attachment of the pre-meeting questions/answers to the minutes of the
Shareholders’ Meetings held in the years 2021 and 2022, questions and answers which were in any case published by the Bank on its website
pursuant to Article 127-ter of the TUF;
• a certified e-mail communication, dated 27 February, 2023, received also by the shareholder Mr. Marino who reported to the attention of the Board
of Statutory Auditors some press articles relating to alleged “leaks” by Corporate Bodies’ Members.
In response to the Mr. Marino’s first communication received, the Board of Statutory Auditors promptly performed the necessary in-depth analyses,
gathering the necessary information in order to examine and evaluate the case submitted with the support of the Bank’s relevant functions. The
Board of Statutory Auditors, having verified the possible grounds for the facts reported, agreed with the reasonable conclusions proposed by such
functions. Thus, at the end of the analyses carried out, no irregularities were detected that required reporting to the Shareholders’ Meeting. In
addition, the Bank, at the request of the Banca d’Italia, also provided the latter with clarifications on the complaint in question.
- With regard to the second communication received by the shareholder Mr. Marino, the Board of Statutory Auditors has started in-depth analysis not
yet completed at the date of this Report.
In the same period, the Board of Statutory Auditors received two communications which could be qualified as complaints to the Supervisory
Authorities. These communications were analyzed by the Board of Statutory Auditors, which acted promptly in order to obtain, from the competent
structures, the information necessary to examine and assess the cases submitted. The analyses carried out did not reveal any cases worthy of
mention and, to date, no follow-up has been received from the Authorities concerned.
During the year, the Board of Statutory Auditors, in addition to what has already been specifically stated in this Report, issued its opinions, and
expressed the observations that the current regulations and supervisory provisions for banks assign to its responsibility.

• it drawn up the “2022 Audit Committee Questionnaire” (Internal Control and Audit Committee pursuant to art. 19, Legislative Decree no. 39/2010)
sent by the CEAOB (Committee of European Auditing Oversight Bodies) through CONSOB;
• it attended, in addition to Board meetings, to specific meetings with the Directors, extended also to the Statutory Auditors. Such meetings are
dedicated to the prospects and key elements of the Group’s strategy and that of the entire European banking sector;
• it oversaw that the transactions undertaken with persons with administrative, managerial or control functions were always conducted in compliance
with Art.136 TUB and Supervisory Instructions.
The Board of Statutory Auditors does not deem it necessary to exercise the option of making proposals to the Shareholders’ Meeting pursuant to
Art.153, second paragraph of Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 (TUF).
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 Corporate Governance Committee promoted by ABI, Ania, Assogestoni, Assonime, Borsa Italiana and Confindustria, which most recently
updated the Corporate Governance Code to which UniCredit has adhered since 2001, deemed it appropriate to make some recommendations to all
listed companies aimed at strengthening the credibility of adherence to the Code as a sign of the quality of corporate governance practices actually
implemented.
In particular, the above-mentioned Committee, in the letter of the Committee Chairman dated 25 January 2023, examined by the Board of Statutory
Auditors at its meeting held on 9 February 2023, invited the Board of Directors of listed companies to provide a description of the choices relating to
the following main aspects, identified as improvement areas:
• dialogue with the shareholders and with the relevant stakeholders;
• pre-meeting information;
• managers’ attendance at the Board and the Board Committees’ meetings,
• guidance on the optimal composition of the Board of Directors;
• assessment of the Directors’ independence;
• remuneration polices.
The Board of Statutory Auditors noted the responses provided by the Bank on the individual aspects mentioned above, in the Report on the
Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 24 February 2023.
With regard to Board of Directors’ pre-meeting information, for which the Bank itself reported in the above-mentioned Report that improvement
margins have been highlighted, the Board of Statutory Auditors intended to emphasise - as already affirmed in 2022 to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors and to the Board itself - the utmost importance of robust and prompt pre-meeting information for a complete and conscious conduct of the
Board meetings, and to enable the Board members to take their own decisions with full awareness and, therefore, called for constant and punctual
attention to this issue.
Lastly, the Board of Statutory Auditors highlighted that, as reported by the Directors in the press release dated 16 February 2023, following the
resignation of Director Ms. Jayne Anne Gadhia and upon the favourable opinion of the Corporate Governance & Nomination Committee, the Board
of Directors, at the meeting held on the same date, appointed the independent Director Mr. Jeffrey Alan Hedberg as Chair of the Remuneration
Committee. At the same meeting, considering the upcoming Shareholders’ Meeting in 2023, the Board also decided to submit to the Shareholders’
Meeting the reduction of the number of Board members to 12. This new setting was assessed by the Board of Directors to be adequate and fully
compliant with the quali-quantitative theoretical profile approved by the Board of Directors on 3 March 2021, thus ensuring the necessary skills, the
adequate gender balance, and the expected quota of overall independent members.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
On 20 February 2023, the Board of Statutory Auditors concluded the self-assessment process on the suitability composition and the proper and
effective functioning of the BoSA itself. The self-assessment process was performed in accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Bodies and
Committees Regulation, adopted in compliance with the Supervisory Provisions on Corporate Governance for Banks and in line with the indications
included in the document “The Self-Assessment of the Board of Statutory Auditors” issued by the Italian National Board of Certified Public
Accountants and Accounting Experts (Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti ed Esperti Contabili) in May 2019 and without turning to the
external consultants.
The Board of Statutory Auditors assessed its composition as adequate, also due to its evolution over time and the diversity of skills, competencies,
and experience, as well as gender, which ensured the effective functioning of the BoSA over time.
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.
Starting from May 2020, the attendance of the Board of Statutory Auditors’ Members at the Board Committees’ meetings has increased according to
the modalities reported in the above-mentioned paragraph 1. Starting from the mandate received from the Shareholders’ Meeting of 8 April 2022, the
above-mentioned attendance will take place with 9 months rotation, instead of the previous 6 months rotation, in order to further optimise its
participation and effectiveness and also to ensure better continuity of action and information to each Member over time.
The Board of Statutory Auditors confirmed that the strengthening of its participation in the Board Committees in question has strongly contributed to
its effectiveness as a Body.
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.
With specific reference to the assignment to the Board of Statutory Auditors also of the functions of the Supervisory Body pursuant to Italian
Legislative Decree No.231/2001 (“OdV 231”), 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 Organizational and Management Model adopted by UniCredit
S.p.A. pursuant to the aforementioned Legislative Decree ( “the Model”) at the meetings held on 20 September 2022 and 16 February 2023,
respectively.
During the reporting period, the Board of Statutory Auditors, acting as 231 Supervisory Body, oversaw the functioning and compliance with the
Model. The verification and control activity, based on the information made available to it, was functional in pursuing the objectives of its effective
implementation. The Supervisory Body 231/2001 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 to perform its ordinary role synergic with the one acting as 231 Supervisory
Body. On 11 November 2022, the Supervisory Board 231/2001 sent a specific Memorandum to the Board of Directors – in its capacity as the party
responsible for the Model’s adoption and efficient implementation - concerning some issues encountered in the context of its activities. As of the
date of this Report, this memo has not yet been discussed by the Board of Directors.
Conclusions
The oversight activity 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 transactions
performed during the financial year to which this report refers to, not in compliance with the principles of proper management, resolved and carried
out not in compliance with the law and the Company Bylaws, not in the Company’s interest, not in accordance with Shareholders’ resolutions,
manifestly imprudent or risky, 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 Manager in charge of preparing the Financial Reports, 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 2022 and of the remuneration proposal
to Shareholders, submitted by the Board of Directors, as reported in the next paragraph.

Report of the Board of Statutory auditors
Statement of going concern
The Board of Statutory Auditors notes that the Directors observed how the consequences of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine have led to
significant uncertainty in macroeconomic outlook, in terms of GDP, inflation rates and interest rates. Furthermore, the Directors observed the
evolution in Covid-19 pandemic and the on-going lifting of containment restrictions put in place by Governments since 2020.
The Directors assessed such circumstances, also evaluating the operations directly held in the Russian market through its subsidiary AO UniCredit
Bank (Russia), and concluded – with reasonable certainty - that the Bank will be able to operate profitably in the foreseeable future; as a result, in
accordance with the provisions of IAS1, the Company Financial Statements of UniCredit S.p.A. as at 31 December 2022 was prepared on a going
concern basis.
Based upon the aforementioned evaluations, the main Group regulatory ratios have been taken into account at 31 December 2022, in terms of: (i)
The actual figures as at 31 December 2022 (CET1 Ratio Transitional equal to 16.68%; TLAC Ratio equal to 26.90% in terms of RWA and 8.76% in
terms of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio at 161% 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 756 basis points; TLAC Ratio: excess of 527 basis points in terms of
RWA and 172 in terms of Leverage Exposure; Liquidity Coverage Ratio: excess of more than 61 percentage points); iii) The expected evolution of
the same ratios during 2023 (in particular, in 2023, it is expected to maintain a significant margin above the capital requirements, consistently with
the UniCredit Unlocked CET1 ratio target of 12.5-13 per cent).
Consistently with such evidence, the Directors have proposed, in 2022, to the Shareholders’ meeting, which approved, the distribution of a
remuneration, in part in cash and in part through shares buyback subject to the ECB’s authorization.
In this regard, pursuant to the resolution passed by the Shareholders’ Meeting on 8 April 2022, as updated and integrated pursuant to the
shareholders' resolution of 14 September 2022, UniCredit announced (i) The completion on 14 July 2022 of the first tranche of the share buy-back
programme communicated to the market on 10 May 2022 and initiated on 11 May 2022 following ECB Authorization, in this regard on 19 July 2022
UniCredit communicated the cancellation of No.162,185,721 treasury shares, without reduction of the share capital and (ii) The completion on 30
November 2022 of the second tranche of the share buy-back programme communicated to the market on 21 September 2022 and initiated on the
same date, following ECB Authorization. In addition, on 14 December 2022 UniCredit communicated the cancellation of No.86,949,149 treasury
shares, without reduction of the share capital. Finally, the Directors have also proposed to the shareholders’ meeting, in 2023, the distribution of a
remuneration, in part in cash and in part through shares buyback subject to the ECB's authorization.
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.
As stated in the press release issued on 16 February 2023, the Directors will submit the Board of Director’s Reports to the Shareholders’ Meeting -
to be held on 31 March 2023 - related to the proposals of: (i) Approval of the 2022 Company Financial Statement of UniCredit S.p.A.; (ii) Allocation
of the 2022 net profit of UniCredit S.p.A. that envisages - among other items - the distribution of a cash dividend for €1,906,562,000, corresponding
to €0.9872 per share; (iii) Elimination of negative reserves for the components not subject to change by means of their definitive coverage, by use of
available reserves; (iv) Buy-back of UniCredit S.p.A. shares for a total maximum amount equal to €3,343,438,000, with the aim to pursue the actions
and targets envisaged by the 2022-2024 strategic plan “UniCredit Unlocked” in terms of shareholder remuneration.

Independent auditors’ report pursuant to article 14 of Legislative
decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) no.
537 of 16 April 2014
To the shareholders of
UniCredit S.p.A.
Report on the audit of the separate financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the separate financial statements of UniCredit S.p.A. (the “bank”), which comprise the
balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, the income statement and the statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto, which include a
summary of the significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of
UniCredit S.p.A. as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the
European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and
article 43 of 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 “Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit
of the separate financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the bank in
accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits of 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 judgement, were of most significance in the
audit of the separate financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Independent auditors’ report

Classification and measurement of loans and receivables with customers recognised under
financial assets at amortised cost
Notes to the accounts “Part A - Accounting policies”: paragraph A.2.3 “Financial assets at amortised
cost”
Notes to the accounts “Part B - Balance sheet - Assets”: section 4 “Financial assets at amortised cost”
Notes to the accounts “Part C - Income statement”: Section 8 “Net losses/recoveries on credit
impairment”
Notes to the accounts “Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies”: Section 1 “Credit risk”
Key audit matter
Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter
Lending to customers is one of the bank’s core
activities. Loans and receivables with customers
recognised under financial assets at amortised cost
totalled €228,421 million at 31 December 2022,
accounting for 52% of total assets.
Net impairment losses on loans and receivables with
customers recognised in profit or loss during the year
totalled €1,008 million.
For classification purposes, the directors make
analyses that are sometimes complex in order to
identify those positions that show evidence of
impairment after disbursement. To this end, they
consider both internal information about the
performance of exposures and external information
about the reference sector or the borrowers’ overall
exposure to banks.
Measuring loans and receivables with customers is a
complex activity, with a high degree of uncertainty and
subjectivity, with respect to which the directors apply
internal valuation models that consider many
quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical
collection flows, expected cash flows and related
estimated collection dates, the existence of any
indicators of impairment, an assessment of any
guarantees, the impact of macroeconomic variables,
future scenarios and risks of the sectors in which the
bank’s customers operate.
The complexity of the directors’ estimation process has
increased as a result of the geopolitical uncertainties
caused by the conflict in Ukraine and the persisting
Covid-19 emergency in 2022. These uncertainties have
severely worsened current economic conditions and
the outlook for future macroeconomic scenarios and
have had a strong impact on the energy market, supply
chains, inflationary pressure and its effect on monetary
policies, leading central banks to raise interest rates in
the main economies. This required the directors to
revisit the valuation processes and methods.
Our audit procedures included:
• gaining an understanding of the bank’s processes
and IT environment in relation to the disbursement,
monitoring, classification and measurement of
loans and receivables with customers;
• assessing the design and implementation of
controls and performing procedures to assess the
operating effectiveness of material controls,
especially in relation to the identification of
exposures with indicators of impairment and the
calculation of impairment losses;
• analysing the classification criteria used for
allocating loans and receivables with customers to
the IFRS 9 categories (staging);
• analysing the individual and collective impairment
assessment policies and models used and
checking the reasonableness of the main
assumptions and variables included therein, as
well as the adjustments made as a result of the
financial effects of the geopolitical situation caused
by the conflict in Ukraine and the persisting Covid-
19 pandemic. We carried out these procedures
with the assistance of experts of the KPMG
network;
•
•
selecting a sample of exposures tested collectively,
checking the application of the measurement
models applied and checking that the impairment
rates applied complied with those provided for in
such models;
selecting a sample of exposures tested individually
and checking the reasonableness of the indicators
of impairment identified and of the assumptions
about their recoverability, including considering the
guarantees received;
• analysing the significant changes in the loan and
receivable categories and in the related impairment

Key audit matter
Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter
Trading in and holding financial instruments are one of
the bank’s core activities. The separate financial
statements at 31 December 2022 include financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value totalling
€64,187 million and €42,309 million, respectively.
These financial assets and liabilities comprise assets
and liabilities measured at fair value of €37,941 million
and €37,058 million, respectively, for which there is no
quoted price on an active market and which the bank’s
directors have classified at levels 2 and 3 of the fair
value hierarchy.
Classifying and, especially, measuring fair value levels
2 and 3 financial instruments require a high level of
judgement in relation to the complexity of the models
and parameters used.
Such complexity has increased as a result of the
geopolitical uncertainties caused by the conflict in
Ukraine and the persisting Covid-19 emergency in
2022. These uncertainties have severely worsened
current economic conditions and the outlook for future

Comparative figures
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to that disclosed by the directors in the “Reclassification
of UniCredit Leasing S.p.A. out of non-current assets held for sale” note of Part A, section 4 of the
separate financial statements about the restatement of certain 2021 comparative figures compared to the
figures presented in the separate financial statements at 31 December 2021, following the
discontinuance of the process for the disposal of the subsidiary. We checked the methods used to
restate the prior year comparative figures and related disclosures included in the notes for the purposes
of preparing this report.
The bank’s 2021 separate financial statements were audited by other auditors, who expressed their
unqualified opinion thereon on 11 March 2022.
Responsibilities of the bank’s directors and board of statutory auditors (“Collegio
Sindacale”) for the separate financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of separate financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European
Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and article 43 of
Legislative decree no. 136/15 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal
control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors are responsible for assessing the bank’s ability to continue as a going concern and for the
appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the separate financial statements and for
the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless the
directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the bank or ceasing operations exist, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the
bank’s financial reporting process.

UniCredit S.p.A.
Independent auditors’ report
31 December 2022
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 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 separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate 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 the directors’ 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 auditors’ report to
the related disclosures in the separate 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
auditors’ 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 separate financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level 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 the ethics
and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships
and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
the measures taken to eliminate those threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current year and are,
therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report.

Allocation of the net profit of the year 2022
The Shareholders’ Meeting, in reference to the decisions taken upon approval of the 2022 Financial Statements of UniCredit S.p.A., and on the
basis of the result for the year 2022 of €3,106,674,499.75 resolved to allocate the net profit as follows:
• to the shareholders a dividend of €0.9872 for each share outstanding and entitled to dividend at payment date for a maximum amount of

Elimination of negative reserves for the components not subject to change by means of their definitive coverage
The Shareholders' Meeting approved the coverage of the negative reserves totaling €376,811,841.27 through use of the: i) Share Premium Reserve
for €302,503,519.66 to cover the negative reserve for coupon payments in 2022 related to Additional Tier 1 capital instruments, and ii) Statutory
reserve for the amount of €74,308,321.61 to cover the negative reserve from the payment in 2022 related to the usufruct contract connected to the
Cashes financial instruments.
Authorisation to purchase treasury shares aimed at remunerating the shareholders. Consequent and inherent resolutions
The Shareholders’ Meeting authorised the Board of Directors, pursuant to Articles 2357 of the Italian Civil Code and 132 of the Italian Consolidated
Financial Act (TUF), to carry out the purchases, in one or more transactions, for maximum shares of the Company equal to a total expenditure up to
€3,343,438,00.00 and, in any case, not exceeding No.230,000,000 UniCredit shares. The transaction was authorised by the ECB on 28 March 2023.
The purchases of UniCredit’s shares may be carried out and therefore completed within the earliest of: (i) the term of the 18th (eighteenth) month
from today; and (ii) the date of the shareholders’ meeting which will be called to approve the financial statements for the year ending on 31
December 2023.
UniCredit’s share purchases, if executed, must be carried out at a price that will be determined on a case-by-case basis, in compliance with any
applicable regulatory requirements, including those of the European Union, in force from time to time, on the understanding that the purchase price
cannot diverge downwards or upwards by more than 10 per cent from the official price registered by UniCredit’s share in Euronext Milan’s trading
session, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., on the day prior to the execution of each individual purchase transaction.
The authorisation to purchase shares is part of the activities envisaged in the 2022-2024 strategic Plan “UniCredit Unlocked” aimed at the
remuneration of shareholders.

The Shareholders' Meeting approved the 2023 Group Remuneration Policy which defines the principles and standards which UniCredit applies in
designing, implementing and monitoring the Group compensation practices, plans and systems.
Remuneration Report
The Shareholders' Meeting approved the Remuneration Report which provides all relevant Group compensation-related information on the
remuneration policies, practices and outcomes.
2023 Group Incentive System
The Shareholders' Meeting approved the adoption of the 2023 Group Incentive System which, as required by national and international regulatory
requirements, provides for the allocation of an incentive in cash and/or in free UniCredit ordinary shares to be granted, subject to the achievement of
specific performance conditions over a multi-year period to a selected group of UniCredit Group employees.
Application of the ratio between variable and fixed remuneration of 2:1 across the organization
The Shareholders' Meeting approved in line with national and international regulatory provisions, the proposal to restore the wider application of the
2:1 ratio between variable and fixed remuneration to the entire population, with the exclusion of the Corporate Control Functions and other Functions
for which a more restrictive regulatory limit applies.

ITEM
ABB Accelerated Bookbuild
ABCP Conduits - Asset Backed
Commercial Paper Conduits
DESCRIPTION
An accelerated bookbuild is a form of offering in the equity capital markets of material stake of a company’s share to
institutional investors.
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.
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
Acquisition finance
Allocated capital
Financial asset amortised at cost.
Finance for business acquisition operations. The most common form of Acquisition finance is the leveraged buy-out (see
item "Leveraged finance").
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).
ALM - Asset & Liability Management
AMA - Advanced Measurement
Approach
Integrated management of assets and liabilities, designed to allocate resources in such a manner as to optimise the
risk/return ratio.
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 management
Audit
Activities of management of the financial investments of third parties.
Process of controlling a company's activities and accounting, carried out either by an internal body (internal audit) or by an
external firm of auditors (external audit).
Back-testing
Bad Loans
Bank Levy
Banking Book
Basel 2
Statistical technique which entails the comparison of model estimates of risk parameters with the ex-post empirical
evidences.
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 (i.e. irrespective of the presence of any protection covering the
exposures).
Charges applied at national level specifically to financial institutions, mainly based on balance sheet figures, or parts of it.
Portfolio that identifies the technical forms of lending and funding typical of the core business of the bank, including
consumer and residential loans, investments in securities, deposits, etc.
New international capital agreement redefining the guidelines for determining the minimum capital requirements for banks.
Such prudential regulation, which came into force in Italy in 2008, is based on three pillars.
Pillar 1
While the objective of a level of capitalization 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 authorization 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
It refers to the 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.

ITEM
Basel 3
DESCRIPTION
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 CRD IV “Package”.
Best practice
Behaviour commensurated with the most significant experience and/or the best level of knowledge achieved in relation to a
given technical or professional field.
BRRD -Bank Recovery and
Resolution Directive
CBO - Collateralised Bond
Obligations
CDO - Collateralised Debt
Obligations
European Directive that introduced harmonised roules on the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment
firms.
CDO - Collateralised Debt Obligations (see item) with bonds as underlyings.
Bonds issued by a SPV (see item) 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 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

ITEM
ICAAP - Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process
DESCRIPTION
The discipline of the so called “Pillar 2” requires banks to implement processes and systems to determine the level of
internal capital adequate to face any type of risk, also different from those provided by the capital requirements (Pillar 1)
rules; in the scope of an assessment of the exposure, actual and future, that has to consider also the strategies and the
evolution of the reference environment.
ILAAP - Internal Liquidity Adequacy

ILC - Italian Large Corporate
Impaired loans

Interest rate risk - (IRR)
Investor
IRB - Internal Rating Based
It requires the banks to have processes and tools for determining the adequate level of total internal liquidity (Internal
Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process - ILAAP) for covering liquidity risk, 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 ILAAP process, formulate an overall judgment and, where necessary, apply the appropriate corrective
measures.
IRB calculation model - Italian Large Corporate.
Loans are subjected to periodic examination in order to identify those which, following events occurring after their entry in
the accounts (at the market value, normally equal to the disbursed amount including the transaction costs and revenues
directly attributable to the disbursement of the loan), show objective signs of a possible loss of value. This category includes
loans that have been classed as bad, doubtful, restructured or overdue, in accordance with Banca d’Italia rules consistent
with IAS/IFRS (see item).
Within the framework of the IAS/IFRS (see item), this refers to the loss of value of a balance sheet asset, recorded when the
book value is greater than the recoverable value, i.e. the sum that can be obtained by selling or using the asset.
Interest rate risk expresses the exposure to unfavorable changes in interest rates on the economic value of the equity and
on the net interest income.
Any entity other than the Sponsor (see item) or Originator (see item) with exposure to a securitisation.
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 Factor" and, where provided for, "M - Maturity" (see item). The use of
IRB methods for the calculation of capital requirements is subject to authorisation from Banca d’Italia.
IRC - Incremental Risk Charge
Incremental Risk Charge is a measure of potential losses arising from default and migration risks of unsecuritised credit
products over a 1-year capital horizon at a 99.9% confidence level, taking into account the liquidity horizons of individual
positions.
IRS - Interest Rate Swap
Joint venture
Junior, Mezzanine and Senior
exposures
Ke
See "Swap".
Agreement between two or more companies for the conduct of a given economic activity, usually through the constitution of
a joint stock company.
In a securitisation transaction, the exposures may be classified as follows:
• junior exposures are the last to be repaid, and consequently absorb the first loss produced by the securitisation
transaction;
• mezzanine exposures are those with medium repayment priority, between senior and junior;
• senior exposures are the first to be repaid.
The cost of equity is the minimum return on investment required by the shareholder. It is the sum of a risk-free rate and an
additional spread remunerating the shareholder for the market risk and the volatility of the share price. The cost of capital is
based on medium/long term averages of market parameters.

asset purchased or built by the lessor at the choice and on the instructions of the lessee, with the latter having the option of
acquiring ownership of the asset under predetermined conditions at the end of the leasing contract.
Leverage ratio
Leveraged finance/Leveraged buy-
out
Is a measure which allows for the assessment of institutions’ exposure to the risk of excessive leverage.
Loans provided mainly to Private Equity funds in order to finance the acquisition of a company through a financial
transaction based on the cash flow generation capacity of such target company. This can result in a higher level of debt and
therefore a higher level of risk. Leveraged finance may be syndicated.
LGD - Loss Given Default
Liquidity risk
Expected value (which may be conditional upon adverse scenarios) of the ratio, expressed as a percentage, between the
loss giving rise to the default and the amount of exposure at the time of the default (“EAD - Exposure At Default”, see item).
The risk of the company being unable to meet its payment commitments due to the inability to mobilise assets or obtain
adequate funding from the market (funding liquidity risk) or due to the difficulty/impossibility of easily liquidating positions in
financial assets without significantly and unfavourably affecting the price because of insufficient depth or temporary
malfunction of the financial market (market liquidity risk).
M - Maturity
The average, for a given exposure, of the residual contractual maturities, each weighted for the relevant amount.

SPV’s operations are accordingly limited by a set of rules designed for this purpose.
In general SPVs’ sponsors do not hold equity in them. The equity is held by other entities in order to ensure that there is no
shareholder relationship with the "Sponsor" (see item). SPVs are usually bankruptcy-remote, in that their assets cannot be
claimed by the creditors of the sponsor, even if the latter becomes insolvent.
Assessment of bank’ vulnerabilities either in terms of capital or liquidity position in case of possible adverse events, both of
an idiosyncratic nature and related to macroeconomic scenarios.
Although Subprime has no univocal definition, this category includes mortgages granted to borrowers who have had
repayment difficulties in the past, e.g. delayed installments, insolvency or bankruptcy, or who are more likely to default than
the average due to high loan-to-value and installment-to-income ratios.
Stressed VaR is a quantification of exposures to particular extreme losses that can be inflicted to a Bank during market
tensions, by modeling the portfolio response conditional on historical data from a (continuous 12-month) period of significant
financial stress.
A transaction that generally consists of the exchange of financial streams between operators according to different
contractual arrangements.
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.
