Bergamo, 8th August 2014 - The Management Board of Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa (UBI Banca) has approved the consolidated results for the first half of 2014, which ended with a profit of

€106.2 million, a more than twofold increasecompared with €52.9 million in the same period of

2013. Net of non-recurring items, profit for the period was €130.8 million compared with €52.2 million in the first half of 2013.
On the one hand, the first half of 2014 recorded good performance by operating income, up by approximately €84 million compared with January-June 2013. In detail, growth was recorded in net interest income (+€63.1 million), net fee and commsision income (+€7.4 million) and the finance result (+€27.3 million).
On the other hand, the success of the careful management of operating expenses was repeated, which, after five consecutive years of cuts to expense items, allowed further savings to be made on structural operational costs in the first half of the year compared with the same period in 2013 (-
€27.5 million).
Net of non-recurring items, both positive and negative, operating expenses in the first half of 2014 recorded a decrease of 19.3% compared with the first half of 2007.
The first half of 2014 saw an important reduction in new migrations of performing loans to deteriorated status: -38.1% compared with the first half of 2013 and -39.7% compared with the second half of 2013. Net deteriorated loans fell by 0.6% compared with December 2013.
Finally, from a profit and loss viewpoint, the first half was penalised by non-recurring tax charges incurred in the second quarter of the year (more specifically, a change in the substitute tax on the valuation of stakes in the Bank of Italy and the impact of an adjustment to the IRAP (regional production tax) rate on existing DTAs, to give a total of approx. €24 million).

Group operating results in the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013

In the first six months of the year, Group operations generated growth in net operating income of

19.2% to €691.5 million from €580.3 million in the sampeeriod of 2013.

As a result of good performance by core activities, operating income increased by 5.1% to
€1,735.9 million compared with €1,652.2 million itnhe first half of 2013.

Net interest income made a significant contribution to that result, amounting to €908.5 million, up by 7.5% (+€63.1 million) year-on-year, largely dueto good results for business with customers, which rose to €718.5 million from €679.9 million i2n013 following a further improvement in the interest rate spread, which widened by approximately 20 basis points (up on average during the half year to 1.81% from 1.61% in 2013), primarily as a result of a sharp decrease in the cost of funding and despite the year-on-year fall in average lending. Net fee and commission income also performed well, rising to €609.7 million compared with

€602.2 million in the same period of 2013. Investmnet services-related business recorded a good

2

result (+7.3% to €322.5 million) while the contribution from general banking services (-6.7% to
€302.9 million) continued to be affected by low voulmes of business in relation to the weak economic environment.
The item also benefited, in terms of lower commission expenses, from the positive impact of the early redemption of €3 billion of bonds backed by State guarantee, which took place at the beginning of March and was made possible by the Group's solid liquidity position and by the availability of over €31 billion of other assets eilgible for refinancing.
As concerns the evolution of fees and commissions, authorisation was received on 7th August for the early redemption of the remaining €3 billion of bonds backed by State guarantee still outstanding, which will bring future benefits.
The finance result came to €136.6 million (+€27.3 million compared wthithe first half of 2013).
This result was composed as follows: €50.6 millionfrom trading activities (€52.5 million in the first half of 2013); €93.7 million (€59.9 million in thfeirst half of 2013) from the sale and repurchase of financial assets/liabilities and primarily from the sale of €3.8 billion of Italian government securities; -€0.3 million from changes in the fairvalue of financial assets (+€1.6 million in the fisrt half of 2013); while hedging activities generated a loss of €7.4 million (-€4.6 million in the firstalhf of 2013).
The first half of 2014 recorded another reduction in operating expenses, down by a further 2.6%

compared to the same period in 2013.

In detail:
- staff costs of €647.9 million were more or less unchanged compared with 2013 (€646.2 million), having absorbed ordinary wage increases inclusive of the latest scheduled increases under the provisions of the current national labour contract, applied from 1st June 2013 and from 1st June
2014;
- other administrative expenses of €311.2 million were down by 7.2% year-on-year,the result of a long-term effort to curb costs which involved most components of current spending;
- finally, depreciation, amortisation and net impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets totalled €85.2 million, also down by 5.7% comparedwith
2013, as a result of lower depreciation and amortisation in the core perimeter of the Group and of the exit of BDG from the consolidation.
In the period January-June 2014 net impairment losses on loans rose to €429.1 million, compared with €383.9 million in the first half of 2013, to igve an annualised loan loss rate of 0.99% of total net loans, compared with 0.84%. before.
As a result of the performance described above, profit on continuing operations before tax
amounted to €257.3 million,an improvement of 52.6% compared with the first half of 2013.

Taxes on income for the period from continuing operations amounted to €135.4 million compared with €103.1 million in the first half of 2013, primarily the result of the inclusion in 2014 of non-recurring components. These consisted of a change in the substitute tax on the valuation of stakes in the Bank of Italy and the impact of an adjustment to the IRAP (regional production tax) rate on existing DTAs, to give a total of approx. €24 million. In normalised terms, the tax rate for the first half of 2014 was 43% compared with 62.6% in 2013. * * *

Group operating results in the second quarter of the year

In the second quarter of 2014, the Group recorded growth in net operating income of 8.2% to

€359.4 million compared with the 1Q 2014 (and of 12.7% compared with the 2Q 2013).

This result was achieved, on the one hand due to growth in operating income, which stood at
€882.5 million (+3.4% compared with 1Q 2014 and +35.% compared with 2Q 2013) following good performance by net interest income, which totalled €454 million (unchanged compared with
1Q 2014 and +6% compared with 2Q 2013), the result of the improvement in the customer spread (1.82% compared with 1.79% in the 1Q 2014 and 1.61% in 2Q 2013) despite decreasing average volumes of lending. Net fee and commission income generated €309.6 million (+3.2% compared with 1Q 2014 and +4.1% compared with 2Q 2013), while the finance result contributed €74 million (€62.6 million in 1Q 2014 and €67.4 millioin 2Q 2013).
On the other hand net operating income benefited from stringent control over costs, which totalled
€523.1 million in 2Q 2014 (largely unchanged compaerd with 1Q 2014 and -2% compared with 2Q
2013).

Net impairment losses on loans amounted to €230.5 million in the second quarter ofthe year, in line with impairment recognised in the second quarter of 2013, but affected by the usual seasonal factors compared with €198.6 million in the first uqarter of 2014.

As a result of the performance described above, profit on continuing operations before tax amounted to €132.8 million,an improvement of 6.7% compared with the first quarter of the year and of 74.5% compared with the second quarter of 2013.

Taxes on income for the period from continuing operations amounted to €76.7 million (€58.7 million in 1Q 2014 and €46.5 million in 2Q 2013), sa a result of the inclusion in the second quarter

of the year of non-recurring components, consisting in particular of a change in the substitute tax on the valuation of stakes in the Bank of Italy and the impact of an adjustment to the IRAP (regional production tax) rate on existing DTAs, to give a total of approx. €24 million.

* * * The balance sheet

Loans to customers as at 30th June 2014 amounted to €87.1 billion, stable (+€25 million)

compared with the end of March 2014 (-1.5% compared with December 2013).

Short-term loans grew in the second quarter of the year (+€0.4 billion), while medium to long term
lending saw the complete replacement of maturing loans in the network banks (new grants represented 104% of maturities in the second quarter of 2014, 95% in the first quarter of the year and 85% in the second quarter of 2013). However, the replacement of maturing loans in the product companies (around 40%) remained low, being more closely correlated with investment by businesses, not yet made possible by the performance of the economy.
As concerns credit quality, the tendency of total deteriorated gross loans (non-performing loans, impaired loans, restructured and past due/in arrears loans) to stabilise was confirmed in June 2014 (+0.9% to €12,788 million compared with €12,674 miollni in December 2013, while substantial growth had been recorded in previous semesters: +7% for June 2013-December 2013 and +8% for December 2012- June 2013).

4

In terms of gross flows, the fall in new migrations of performing loans into deteriorated loans continued (€1,260 million in 1H 2014, down by 39.7% comparedwith 2,089 in 2H 2013 and down by 38.1% compared with €2,035 million in 1H 2013).

Again at the end of June 2014, coverage for total deteriorated loans recorded an increase to

27.61% (27.26% in March 2014 and 26.52% in December 2013). If loan write-offs are included, coverage for total deteriorated loans rises to 37.6% (37.19% in March 2014 and 36.21% in December 2013). In terms of net amounts, total deteriorated loans stood at €9,257million, down by 0.6%

compared with €9,312 million recorded in December 2013 (€9,208 million as at 31st March
2014).
In detail, net non-performing loans amounted to €37,71 million (€3,548 million in March 2014 and
€3,437 million in December 2013), accounting for 43.3% of total net loans.

Following the disposal of €61 million of gross loans written-down by 91%, coverage for non- performing loans stood at 40.61%, slightly down compared with 41.02% in March. If that disposal had not taken place, coverage for non-performing loans would have grown to 41.1% compared with

41.02% in March 2014.
If loan write-offs are included, coverage for non performing loans rises to 55.09%.
The percentage of positions backed by collateral (64.5% of the gross total), which require less coverage, remains significant and is growing. Coverage for unsecured positions, considered gross of loan write-offs, was again high (71.65%).
Net impaired loans fell to €4,117 million from €45,24 million in March 2014 (€4,314 million in
December 2013), accounting for 4.73% of total loans.
Total coverage for impaired loans had increased slightly to 16.23% compared with 16.22% in March
2014 (15.12% in December 2013). The presence of positions backed by collateral, which require less recognition of impairment, remains high, accounting for 63.9% of total gross impaired loans. Coverage for unsecured positions was 25.29%.
Net restructured positions amounted to €716.6 milloin, down from €760.2 million in March 2014 and from €750.5 million recorded in December 2013 c(overage of 14.49% in June 2014 compared with 14.16% in March 2014 and 13.94% in December 2013).
Net positions past due and/or in arrears amounted to €651.9 million compared with €646.7 million in March 2014 and €810.6 million in December 2013 (coverage of 4.78% compared with 4.95% in March 2014 and 2.83% in December 2013).
Total direct funding as at 30th June 2014, amounted to €90.2 billion compared with€90.8 billion in March 2014 and €92.6 billion in December 2013. Net of repurchase agreements with the CCG (a central counterparty clearing house), direct funding amounted to €87.9 billion in June 2014, €89.4 billion in March 2014 and €87.1 billion in December2013. Action was undertaken with respect to this item during the first half to optimise the composition of funding which did not involve the Group's core funding (customer deposits of €42.5 blilion and retail bonds of €24.4 billion remained stable compared with December 2013) and moreover had positive impacts on the cost of funding and consequently on net interest income.
The ratio of loans to total direct funding was 96.6% (95.9% at the end of March 2014 and 95.5%
at the end of December 2013).
Group exposure to the ECB remained unchanged as at 30th June 2014 and consisted of a total of €12 billion nominal (€6 billion expire in December 2014and €6 billion in February 2015), recognised

5

within the item "due to banks" and therefore not included within direct funding. Liquidity indicators calculated according to Basel 3 rules (NSFR and LCR) are greater than one even in the presence of an ordinary funding structure not based on LTRO support. Assets eligible for refinancing as at 6th August 2014 totalled €31.1 billion net of haircuts.As a result of its solid liquidity position, the
Group estimates that in December 2014 it will bid for €3 billion of TLTRO finance, against €6 billion of maturing LTRO finance.
At the end of June 2014, the Group's financial assets amounted to €22.2 billion, of which €20.3 billion related to Italian government securities (€21.1 billion in March 2014).
Again at the end of June 2014, indirect funding from ordinary customers had increased to €73.7 billion compared with €73.4 billion in March 2014 nad €71.7 billion in December 2013. Positive performance was recorded both by assets under management in the strict sense, which reached
€28.7 billion (+2.6% compared with March 2014), andalso by insurance funding, which rose to
€12.1 billion (+2% compared with March 2014). Finally, assets under custody amounted to €32.9 billion (€33.6 billion in March 2014).
Consolidated equity of the UBI Banca Group as at 30th June 2014, including profit for the period, amounted to €10,709 million (€10,667 million at theend of March 2014 and €10,339 million at the end of December 2013).
* * *
Human resources of the UBI Banca Group totalled 18,438 as at 30th June 2014 (18,379 in March
2014 and 18,338 in December 2013). Furthermore, after the end of the first half 183 staff left the Group on the 1st of July in accordance with the agreement of 6th March 2014, with which redundancy applications over and above those provided for under the agreement of November 2012, amended in February 2013, were accepted.
At the end of the period, the branch network consisted of 1,673 branches in Italy (1,724 in March
2014) and six abroad (unchanged).

Statement of the Senior Officer Responsible for the preparation of corporate accounting documents

Elisabetta Stegher, as the Senior Officer Responsible for preparing the corporate accounting documents of Unione di Banche Italiane Scpa, hereby declares, in compliance with the second paragraph of article 154 bis of the Testo unico delle disposizioni in materia di intermediazione finanziaria (Consolidated Finance Act), that the financial information contained in this press release is reliably based on the records contained in corporate documents and accounting records.

Outlook

* * *
Under current market conditions net interest income should benefit in terms of interest expense from a progressive decrease in the cost of the marginal, more onerous components and from repricing action already taken, which will become fully effective in the second half, and in terms of interest income from the resilience of medium to long-term loan yields.
The positive contribution from fee and commission income is expected to continue, assisted by favourable seasonal factors that normally occur in the second half of the year.

6

The reduction in administrative expenses is confirmed compared to 2013, while the performance of staff costs will depend on the final outcome of the renewal of the national labour contract.
The slowdown in the pace of new defaulted loans recorded in the first quarter of the current year continued again in the second quarter and allows expectations of an overall year-on-year improvement compared with 2013 in loan losses to be confirmed.

Integration between IW Bank and UBI Private Investment

As part of activities to streamline and enhance Group companies, the launch of a project was approved, to integrate IW Bank, the Group's on-line bank, a leader in the sector in Italy, and UBI Private Investment, which has a network of highly professional financial advisors and fits in very well with IW Bank's commercial offer.
The integration plan is currently being finalised and applications for authorisation will then be submitted to the competent authorities.
