The Private Banking business segment uses traditional channels typical of the<br />

customer segment, or rather private bankers distributed mainly throughout the<br />

dedicated branches of the UniCredit Group banks located throughout the territory.<br />

The UniCredit Group operates within the sphere of Private Banking in Italy, via the<br />

subsidiary UniCredit Private Banking, in Germany via the Wealth Management<br />

Business Line of HVB and in Austria via the Private Business Line of BA (as from<br />

October 2009, following the merger of Bank Privat AG and Asset Management<br />

GmbH within BA) and via the subsidiary Shoellerbank Aktiengesellschaft, which is<br />

present on certain European offshore financial markets (such as Switzerland,<br />

Luxembourg and San Marino; with regard to the latter, Switzerland and Luxembourg<br />

represent the International Business Line, while San Marino pertains to the Private<br />

Banking Italy Business Line).<br />

The financial assets managed and administered by the Private Banking business as at<br />

September 30, 2009 came to just over €134 billion, of which a higher portion in Italy<br />

and lower portions in Germany, Austria and the International Business Line. As at the<br />

same date, the managed component amounted to around €35 billion, with an incidence<br />

on total ordinary financial assets of around 33%.<br />

The UniCredit Group range in the private banking sector capitalises on the ability to<br />

offer an integrated approach to protect and increase the invested capital, maximising<br />

the value of all the types of assets by means of recourse to a wide range of financial<br />

products and services.<br />

The constant attention paid to the greater satisfaction of customer needs also led to the<br />

introduction of new products capable of combining the various preferences in terms of<br />

risk and return of the investments and of enhancing the wealth advisory service. For<br />

such purposes, the Private Banking business segment also provides placement services<br />

for mutual funds of companies not belonging to the Group.<br />

(d) Asset Management<br />

The Asset Management business segment operates globally via PGAM, which<br />

performs the role of sub-holding company for the afore-mentioned sector and<br />

represents the legal and managerial presence in the sector of activities. This sector of<br />

activities is responsible for the development of Asset Management as a centralized<br />

product entity in all the geographic areas, directing, supporting and checking the<br />

development of the business activities at regional level.<br />

During the nine months ended as at September 30, 2009, Asset Management activities<br />

represented 2.5% of the total operating income of the UniCredit Group.<br />

The table below discloses the main income statement figures of the Group relating to<br />

the Asset Management business segment with reference to the nine-months as at<br />

September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and the financial years ended as at<br />
