insurance policies to cover operational risks, with identification of the appropriate excesses and limits. In addition, regular checking of business continuity plans ensures the management of operational risk in the event of interruption to the main services. The Group Risk Committee (or other bodies, according to the provisions of local regulations) reviews the risks identified by the operational risk functions of the entities, with the support of the functions involved, and checks the mitigation initiatives. Measurement and allocation of capital The Issuer has developed an internal model for the measurement of the capital requirement. This is calculated by taking into account internal loss data, external loss data (consortium and public) and loss data generated by scenario analysis and risk indicators. The calculation is carried out by using the types of operating event as risk classes. For each risk class, the severity and frequency of the losses are estimated separately to obtain the distribution of annual losses through simulation, taking into account the insurance coverage. The severity distribution is estimated based on internal data, external data and data generated by scenario analysis, while the frequency is estimated solely on internal data. For each class, a correction is applied based on the operational risk indicators. The distributions of annual loss, obtained for reach risk class, are aggregated based on specific statistical functions. The risk capital is therefore calculated on the aggregate distribution of losses at a 99.9% confidence level for regulatory purposes and a 99.97% confidence level for internal purposes, considering the deduction due to expected losses. Using allocation mechanisms, the capital requirements of Group companies are identified, reflecting the exposure and effectiveness of the operational risk management process. For Group companies still not authorised by the supervisory authorities to use the internal model, the capital requirement is calculated on the basis of the Base and Standard methods. 6.11.4. Business risk Business risk derives from a contraction in margins, not brought about by market, credit and operational risks but instead by variations in the competitive context or customer behaviour. It is measured at Group level both in terms of stand-alone risk capital, and in terms of the element belonging to a diversified risk portfolio; in the second case, the benefit from diversification is then reallocated to the individual UniCredit Group companies, proportionately with respect to the ratio between Group value-at-risk and the sum of the stand-alone risk capital of all Group companies. For monitoring purposes, business risk at UniCredit Group level is calculated quarterly and whenever deemed necessary through significant changes in the reference market. During budgeting, it is calculated from a prospective viewpoint to support the capital allocation process in that it falls under the risk measurements to be aggregated. 6.11.5. Real estate risk - 150 -

Real estate risk consists of potential losses resulting from negative fluctuations in the value of the real estate portfolio owned by the UniCredit Group, involving companies, real estate trusts and “special-purpose vehicle companies” (real estate pertaining to customers remains excluded, encumbered by mortgage securities). The calculation of real estate risk also provides for the exclusion of properties used as collateral and instead includes the properties of instrumental companies and subsidiaries. For monitoring purposes, the real estate risk at Group level is calculated quarterly and whenever deemed necessary through significant changes in the reference market. During budgeting, it is calculated from a prospective viewpoint to support the capital allocation process in that it falls under the risk measurements to be aggregated. 6.11.6. Financial investment risk Financial investment risk represents the risk of potential losses in value deriving from non-speculative financial investments in companies falling within the perimeter of the UniCredit Group valid for accounting consolidation purposes. Therefore, positions belonging to the so-called trading book are not considered. For monitoring purposes, the financial investment risk at Group level is calculated quarterly and whenever deemed necessary through significant changes in the reference market. During budgeting, it is calculated from a prospective viewpoint to support the capital allocation process in that it falls under the risk measurements to be aggregated. 6.11.7. Strategic risk Strategic risk hinges on unexpected changes in the market context, the non-recognition of trends in existence in the banking sector, or inappropriate evaluations regarding said trends. This can lead to aberrant decisions for the reaching of long-term objectives and may be difficult to reverse. 6.11.8. Reputational risk Reputational risk is the actual or prospective risk of a decrease in profits or capital, deriving from a negative perception of the image of the banking Group by customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors or the supervisory authorities. The UniCredit Group’s system of values is based on integrity as a condition of sustainability. In line with said integrity in terms of conduct and principles, UniCredit wishes to ensure that individual entrepreneurship does not lead to conduct that is not in keeping with the reputational profile UniCredit aspires to reach. UniCredit acts at international level in a unified manner as a Group: its reputation must therefore be considered a Group value; the inherent risk is reflected directly in its overall risk profile. The Group system for the management of reputational risks implements the general Group principles for conformance with the second pillar requirements of Basel II regulations. Its main objective is to provide constant support for the activities of the Group in order to preserve or promote its reputation. - 151 -
