19. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS 19.1. Introduction In order to ensure compliance with the legislative and regulatory provisions currently in effect for corporate information regarding related party transactions, the Issuer has adopted a procedure to identify such transactions in which the deciding bodies provide adequate information flows to meet the obligations of UniCredit's Directors as a listed company and parent company of UniCredit Group. As part of this effort, in the 2003 financial year, the Issuer’s Board of Directors defined the identification criteria for related party transactions, consistent with the instructions provided by CONSOB. The UniCredit Managing Director, exercising the power granted to him by the Board of Directors, issued the necessary instructions for systematically fulfilling the aforementioned notification obligations of the Issuer’s structures and companies belonging to UniCredit Group. Notwithstanding compliance with the principle set out in Article 2391 of the Italian Civil Code regarding the interests of company directors, the Issuer must also comply with the provisions of Article 136 of the TUB in regards to borrowings by bank corporate officers, or those that perform administration, management or control functions in UniCredit (and parties that report to them), who may borrow from the bank that they administer, manage or control only with a unanimous resolution from the governing body and the favourable vote by the controlling body. As such, the aforementioned officers must communicate of parties for which the development of a possible relationship may result in the types of borrowings falling under Article 136 of the TUB (individuals or legal entities and/or subsidiaries of company officers, as well as companies in which said parties perform administration, management or control functions and related parent companies and subsidiaries). The Issuer routinely calls upon independent experts to issue fairness or legal opinions if the nature of the transaction, including those with related parties, requires it, consistent with the provisions of the self-imposed code of conduct. The types of related parties relative to the Issuer and with which the Group companies have performed transactions during the last three financial years include: • direct and indirect subsidiaries - including joint subsidiaries - of the Issuer; • associates of the Issuer; • directors and managers with strategic responsibility in terms of planning, management and control functions of the Issuer’s activities (key management personnel); • close family members of key management personnel and subsidiaries of (or associates of) key management personnel or their close family members; • UniCredit Group employee pension funds. 19.2. Relationships and transactions with related parties The Issuer has conducted and conducts business and financial relationships with related parties (as defined by IAS 24). - 326 -

For that which concerns the information on the related parties, please see the consolidated financial statements for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 and part H of the abridged consolidated financial statement in the scope of the Consolidated Interim Report as at 30 September 2003, which has a limited influence on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group. In the first nine months of 2009, the transactions with related parties generated a positive net liquidity of €3,756.4 million on the operative activity in the scope of the Consolidated Report going from €14,014.3 million overall net liabilities as at December 31, 2008 to €10,257.9 million as at September 30, 2009. For that which regards the economic aspect during and in the first nine months of 2009 transactions with affiliates were carried out based on valuations of reciprocal economic benefits and the conditions to be applied were defined in accordance with substantial criteria of correctness, in line with the shared goal of creating value for the entire Group. The transactions in question were usually executed according to the same conditions applied for transactions executed with independent third parties. The same principle was applied to the rendering of intra-group services, as well as the principle of charging on a minimal basis for these services, solely with a view to recovering the respective production costs. Based on that which has been illustrated above and also bearing in mind the reduced influence of the transactions with affiliates on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, their influence on the economic performance of the Group is also deemed to have little significance. The following table summarises the main Related-Party transactions recorded by the Issuer in the period ended as at September 30, 2009 and in the financial years ended as at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. The tables indicate the assets, liabilities and guarantees and commitments as at the Prospectus Date, divided by financial year and type of Related Party.
