Dear Shareholders,
Before presenting the report on operations for the 2021 financial year, we consider it useful to set out several brief
considerations on the domestic and international macroeconomic scenario, on the financial markets and on the real
estate market in 2021.
Domestic and international macroeconomic scenario
After a 2020 characterised, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, by an unprecedented decline in the global economy, 2021
recorded equally spectacular recoveries (+5.5% in terms of global GDP growth supported by growth exceeding 12% in
international trade in the first eight months of the year) not only in the wake of the vaccination campaigns implemented
in the more advanced countries but, above all, by virtue of the unprecedented fiscal and monetary support measures
offered by Governments and Central Banks (in Italy, for example, taking advantage of the moratorium which, due to the
pandemic, affected the parameters of the Stability Pact, the deficit/GDP ratio was subject to a "temporary" expansion
of up to 12%). In addition to being particularly significant, in many cases the economic recovery also exceeded the initial
forecasts that had already been optimistically formulated at the beginning of the year; thus the eurozone economy
closed 2021 with a growth of 5.2% (from the 4.5% initially estimated and after the contraction of 6.4% suffered at the
end of 2020); France recorded a 7% recovery (from 5.5% growth initially estimated and after the 7.9% contraction
suffered at the end of 2020) while the growth of the Italian economy stood at 6.3% from the 5% initially estimated and
compared to the 8.9% contraction suffered in the final balance of 2020. The Italian economic rebound has also benefited
from a new national government, characterised by wide international prestige, as well as from the positive expectations
generated by the resources made available by the European Commission as part of the "Next Generation EU" program
and which found its driving force in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Conversely, affected by the greater
maturity of its economic cycle and the expectations of a more imminent "normalisation" of its monetary policy, the US
economy experienced a considerably lower actual growth compared to the 6.5/7% increase that had been forecast at
the beginning of the year, even though growing by 5.6% compared to the 3.4% contraction recorded in 2020. The
German economy also experienced a contraction in the GDP growth rates initially forecast, with an economic growth of
2.7% compared to the 4/4.5% initially anticipated and after the contraction of 4.6% suffered overall in 2020. This
reduced economic growth, compared to expectations, was the result not only of the bottlenecks appearing in the
international supply channels (a circumstance that affected the entire German industry in a particularly significant way)
but also of the unexpected fragility that characterised, during the course of the year, the Chinese economy (hugely
penalising German exports) whose official annual growth was 8.1% but whose quarterly dynamics went from sustained
growth of 18.3% in the first quarter of 2021 to 4% at the end of the fourth quarter. Also and above all weighing on the
Chinese economy was the crisis in the real estate sector, which affects almost a third of the gross domestic product,
triggered by the financial failure of the Evergrande real estate group which found itself burdened by over 360 million
dollars of debt for default on the payment of maturing coupons relating to 8 bonds issued on international markets.
Evergrande's default then inevitably affected the entire real estate sector, involving other operators; the new
urbanisation/housing market dropped 20% and the Chinese Central Bank invited commercial banks to finance mergers
and acquisitions between property groups in crisis. However, a particularly significant factor for the year just ended is to
be identified in the inflationary pressures that have progressively come to bear on the most advanced economies due
to the bottlenecks that occurred in the international supply channels, of the unsustainable costs of sea freight (increased
up to 10-fold in one year), as well as the sharp increase experienced in the prices of many raw materials and primarily
affecting energy products such as oil, natural gas and electricity (with oil increasing by almost 60% over the year, natural
gas at the ICE in London increased by up to 600% and the price of wholesale electricity, per megawatt hour, in the
eurozone, increased by 400%). Thus the American economy experienced an annual growth in production prices which
at the end of the year was close to 10% (from annual trend rates of 1.7% at the beginning of 2021), consumer prices
rising by an annual rate of 7% (from increases limited to 1.4% at the beginning of the year) and "core" prices (net of
the more volatile components such as energy and food) up by 5.5% (1.4% at the beginning of the year ); in the

eurozone, production prices have undergone annual increases that have almost reached 24% (from annual increases
limited to 0.4% at the beginning of the year), with consumer prices increasing annually by 5% (from 0.9% at the
beginning of the year) while in Germany import prices are experiencing annual increases of close to 25%, with
production prices growing annually by close to 20% (from growth rates of 0.9% in January 2021) and consumer prices
increasing by 5.3% from 1% increases at the beginning of the year. In Italy, at the end of 2021, production prices
recorded annual growth rates of 27% (from decreases of 0.4% per year again in January 2021), with consumer prices
increasing by almost 4% (from tend rates of 0.4% at the beginning of 2021) and an energy component that is increasing
annually by about 30%. These inflationary pressures, unexpected in their magnitude and apparently more structural and
potentially longer lasting than hoped for by the Central Banks, which for a long time thought these pressures to be
transient, led the Central Banks themselves, in December, to amend in a more restrictive sense their monetary policy
approaches (for some time characterised by zero reference rates). The Bank of England brought policy rates to 0.25 from
0.10; the Federal Reserve decided to suspend its Quantitative Easing program in March 2022, with the intention, already
communicated to the market, of proceeding with at least three rises in official rates during 2022 and another three in
2023; while maintaining for the moment the reference rate at zero, the marginal loan rate at 0.25% and the deposit
rate negative by 0.5%, the European Central Bank decided to conclude the pandemic purchase program (Pandemic
Emergency Purchase Program) in March 2022, while the purchases of securities under the “ordinary” APP (Asset
Purchase Program) are anticipated to end on the eve of the first rate rise that presumably could occur during the first
half of 2023. Reinvestments in maturing securities, on the other hand, will continue until December 2024 for the PEPP
program and until after the first rate increase (presumably during the first half of 2023) for the APP program. At the end
of the second year of Covid-19, 6 million deaths were recorded and 160 million people fell into absolute poverty. The
pandemic has been a tremendous test bed for the prevailing economic setting that sees the market as the only beacon
for creating opportunities. Thankfully, it was understood that the crisis could not be averted without state intervention
and, in the United States and Europe, public aid has buffered the damage, at least from an economic point of view.
Where public aid was not possible, or it was chosen not to activate it, consequences have been disastrous in terms of
increased inequality.
Financial markets
In this context of strong economic recovery, equity markets offered extremely positive returns, with the MSCI World
Index growing by 22.4%. The American markets allowed capital gains of 18.7% on average for investments on the Dow
Jones index, 26.9% on the S&P 500 index and 21.4% on the Nasdaq technology index. In the eurozone, the Paris stock
exchange (CAC 40 index) grew by 28.1%, prices on the German stock market (DAX) increased, on average, by 15.8%
while the Madrid stock exchange (Ibex 35) offered a limited return of 6.9%. The index representing the largest
capitalisations in the eurozone (Eurostoxx 50) grew by 21% and the best sectors, during the year, were banking
(+36.2%), technology (+37.8%), the media sector (+30.4%) and the automotive sector (+25.1%). In terms of individual
stocks, the best performances within the Eurostoxx 50 index were achieved by ASML Holding (+77.8%) and Hermes
International (+74.6%) while the worst performances were offered by Philips (-25.2%) and Prosus (-16.8%). Outside
the euro area, the UK stock exchange (FTSE 100) offered a return of 14.3% while the Zurich stock exchange grew by
20.3%. In the Asian area, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index offered a limited return of 4.9% while the Chinese markets
were negative with the Hong Kong Hang Seng index down 14.1% and the Shanghai index/Shenzhen CSI 300 down by
5.2% on the year. With regard to the Italian market, the FTSE MIB index grew by 23%, the index relating to the STAR
segment by 44.7%, while the Italia Growth index (formerly AIM) recorded an increase of 57.7%. The best sectors were
banking (+36%) and insurance (+30.6%) while utilities suffered (-6.7%). During 2021, 49 IPOs were carried out on our
domestic market (22 in 2020), 5 on the main MTA market and 44 on the Euronext Growth Milan market, which brought
the total number of listed companies to 407 (174 listed on the EGM) for a capitalisation of 757 billion (11.5 billion for
the capitalisation of the EGM market), equal to 43% of the Italian GDP and equal to 11% of the capitalisation of the
entire Euronext market. Total capital raising on the Italian market amounted to 3.7 billion, of which 2.3 billion relating

to initial placements on the stock exchange (837 million capital raised in IPOs on the EGM market) while capital increases
in option were 16. There were 21 takeover bids for a value of 7 billion euros.
In the fixed-rate sector, the financial repression policies still pursued by Central Banks have fuelled widely negative real
rates of return (many government issues still have negative returns already in nominal rates - French bonds offer
negative rates of return for up to 15 years while German securities yields are negative for up to 30 years), an even
more penalising circumstance for investors in light of the inflationary pressures underway. The strong economic rebound
and the prospects of inevitable and progressive "normalisation" of monetary policies, however, led the market to raise
nominal yields on government bonds over the course of the year, across the entire spectrum, with the German ten-year
(Bund) which, at the end of the year, offered a negative yield of 0.18% from an equally negative yield of 0.57% at the
end of 2020, while the 10-year US Treasury yielded 1.52% from 0.92% at the end of 2020. The yield of the Italian ten-
year BTP, on the secondary market, has constantly fluctuated, during the year, between 0.54% and 1.2%, reaching a
minimum of 0.44% at the beginning of February at the time of entry of the Draghi government. In terms of gross rates
at issue for Italian paper, the nominal yields of three-year BTPs went from -0.23% to -0.1% from the end of
2020/beginning of 2021 to the end of 2021; the yield on the five-year auctions went from 0.07% to 0.19%; the seven-
years auctions went to 0.6% from 0.3%; the ten-year yield increased from 0.65% to 1.02%, while over the thirty-year
yields increased from 1.47% to 1.82%. The average charge on Italian government bonds in circulation reached 2.1% at
the end of October 2021 (with an average charge in issue on medium/long-term bonds of 0.44%), for a residual average
life of outstanding securities exceeding seven years for the first time since 2011.
Among commodities, energy products recorded sustained increases in prices (a circumstance which significantly fuelled
the inflationary pressures underway). The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York market rose by
58.6% during the year; the price of Brent grade at the ICE in London increased by 53.5%; diesel fuel on New York
increased by 61.6%; heating oil by 60.5% while natural gas at the ICE in London recorded, during the year, peak increases
of up to 600% to close the year with an increase of 284.3%. Strong price increases also affected industrial metals such
as aluminium (+42.4%), copper (+24.8%) and nickel (+23.9%) while the price of steel was limited to an increase in
7.8% and iron ore prices unexpectedly fell by 36.6%. The performance of precious metals was negative, with gold down
by 4.3% and the price of silver down by 12.3%. The prices of agricultural commodities also rose strongly, with the price
of wheat rising by 22.4%, corn by 23.45% while soybeans remained essentially stable (+1.25%). Among colonial
commodities, coffee recorded increases of 78.4%, cotton of 46.4% and sugar of 21.2%.
Regarding currencies, the dollar recorded an average appreciation (over the year) of 7% (best annual performance since
2015). Only the Chinese currency (renminbi) was able to appreciate against the US currency (+2.7%). With reference to
the exchange rates against the Euro, this depreciated by 7.4% against the US dollar, by 6.6% against the British pound,
by 3.7% against the Swiss franc while it appreciated by 2% against the Japanese yen.

The real estate market in 2021
In 2021, the growth of the Italian economy and greater political stability helped to raise investor confidence in the
country. The volume of real estate investments in 2021 reached 10.3 billion euros, up 13% compared to 2020, of which
4.6 billion euros in the last quarter (+52% compared to the same quarter of the previous year ). The growth in volumes
in the last part of the year is a positive trend that suggests an acceleration of the recovery in the first quarter of 2022.
Logistics closed the year with approximately 2.7 billion euros invested (+88% compared to 2020). The sector continues
to experience strong product diversification, with distinct risk profiles for different types of product. Scarcity of land in
major markets is leading investors and developers to look to new locations, including Southern Italy.
The Offices sector reached 2.3 billion euros in investments, a sharp decline compared to 2020. Although the performance
of the last quarter improved significantly compared to the previous one, the sector was still affected by the effects of
the pandemic, especially in relation to office occupancy, as well as the limited availability of core products. Nonetheless,
interest in the sector is still very strong. The year 2022, which also includes operations initially scheduled for closing
during the year just ended, suggests a strong and rapid recovery in volumes: absorption in Milan has returned to the
levels recorded on average in the last five years and is showing positive signs, as also is the Rome market.
The Hotel segment has reached 1.9 billion euros of investments since the beginning of the year, confirming the recovery
of the sector (+82% compared to the previous year). Most of the transactions involved value add products, many of
them with luxury positioning. 2021 marked the presence, in the investment landscape, of the resort segment, seen
before the pandemic as highly risky and today increasingly at the centre of investors' interest. On the other hand, the
recovery of business hotels in the main Italian cities is expected to be slower.
The Retail sector, with 1.5 billion euros of investments, is still contracting: about 70% of the total investments concerned
the High Street segment in the main cities. During the year, the transactions involving the "out of town" sector were
limited and mostly restricted to small properties in secondary locations. There is growing interest in quality Retail Parks
by investors with a medium-long term vision.
The Alternatives sector is growing: the total recorded at the end of the year is equal to 1.2 billion euros; the Healthcare
segment weighed heavily on the total through numerous RSA transactions and portfolio sale & lease-back transactions.
The investment volumes recorded for the Residential sector reached a total of 700 million euros, an increase compared
to 2020, marking another record year. Investments were mainly concentrated in Milan, but Rome and secondary cities,
such as Florence and Bologna, are confirmed as attractive venues.
The Student Housing segment recorded numerous transactions in the main Italian cities. The market is expected to
achieve an increasingly larger proportion of total investments and will probably see a first consolidation as early as
2023. Considering the transactions scheduled for closing, 2022 could bring the sector for the first time close to one
billion euros of investments.

Dear Shareholders,
we submit for your evaluation and approval the separate financial statements closed at 31 December 2021 which show
a net profit of 5,679 thousand euros, 98 thousand euros higher than that of the previous year which was equal to 5,581
thousand euros.
From the analysis of the result for the year in question, there was a significant increase in net commissions, which
partially offset the decrease in the interest margin attributable to the lower contribution deriving from transactions on
the proprietary portfolio in repurchase agreements.
With regard to the Covid-19 emergency, it is noted that most of the year 2021 was characterised by a gradual relaxation
of the restrictive policies revised and strengthened in December, following the widespread diffusion of a new variant
called Omicron. The effects of the pandemic on business activities are outlined in the paragraph “The main transactions
and events in the period”.
The main items that contributed to forming the results of 2021 are shown below, compared those of the previous year:
Total income was 41,417 thousand euros compared to 44,230 thousand euros in the same period of the previous year.
The overall decrease of 2,813 thousand euros consists of the following:
Increases
3,735 thousand euros for net commissions (25,448 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 compared to
21,713 thousand euros in the previous year);
1,774 thousand euros in Net trading expense. The item at 31 December 2021 shows a positive balance
of 1,521 thousand euros against a negative balance of 253 thousand euros in 2020;
Euro 76 thousand euros in Income on other financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value (loss of
177 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 compared to a similar loss of 253 thousand euros in 2020).
Decreases
5,979 thousand euros for net interest income (10,256 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 compared to
16,235 thousand euros in 2020);
1,185 thousand euros for Dividends and similar income (4,155 thousand euros at 31 December 2021
compared to 5,340 thousand euros in 2020);
1,234 thousand euros in Net gains from disposal of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income (gains of 214 thousand euros at 31 December 2021
compared to similar gains of 1,448 thousand euros in 2020);
Net impairment losses for credit risk (+/-). The item showed net impairment losses totalling 1,049 thousand euros
relating to impairment losses on Financial asset at amortised cost (1,026 thousand euros) and of Financial assets at fair
value through other comprehensive income (23 thousand euros).
On the other hand, net impairment losses were recorded on Financial assets at amortised cost of 5,584 thousand euros
and value recoveries on Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for 350 thousand euros.
Compared to the previous year, the item shows a decrease of 4,185 thousand euros, mainly attributable to lower
analytical adjustments made on non-performing positions while maintaining the coverage rate of non-performing loans
unchanged.
Administrative expenses amount to 36,210 thousand euros compared to 34,041 thousand euros in 2020 and are made
up as follows:
personnel expenses, equal to 22,143 thousand euros, are 657 thousand euros higher than the previous
year (21,486 thousand euros). The increase is also attributable to the inclusion in the Bank's staff of high-
profile elements;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

16
other administrative expenses of 14,067 thousand euros increased by 1,511 thousand euros compared to
the previous year (12,556 thousand euros). Other administrative expenses include recoveries from
customers of some costs allocated under Other operating income, net. Net of those recoveries, other
administrative expenses amounted to 8,822 thousand euros and increased by 584 thousand euros
compared to the previous year (8,238 thousand euros), mainly due to the greater contribution to the
Single Resolution Fund.
Net adjustments/write-backs on property, equipment and investment property. The item presents impairment losses
equal to 2,264 thousand euros (2,299 thousand euros in 2020) and includes the amortisation quotas of the right of use
of assets acquired under leasing for 1,971 thousand euros (1,977 thousand euros in 2020).
Other operating income, net showed a positive balance of 5,038 thousand euros compared to 4,674 thousand euros in
2020. Income includes cost recoveries from customers for 5,245 thousand euros (4,318 thousand euros in 2020).
The item also includes net charges of 647 thousand euros due to settlement agreements (also linked to the acquisition
of new customers) and administrative penalties.
Income taxes amount to 1,220 thousand euros (tax rate 17.68%). Last year the item presented a balance of 1,193
thousand euros (tax rate 17.61%).

Total assets amounted to 8.5 billion euros, an increase of 37% compared to the end of last year. This increase is
attributable in particular to the increase in indirect deposits due in equal measure to both the entry of new assets and
the growth of the markets at a global level.

The operating offices
The Bank's operating branches are located in Rome, Milan and Novi Ligure.
The head office is in Rome in Piazza del Gesù 49, and the 3 branches are located in Corso Trieste 118, Via Catone 3
(Piazza Risorgimento) and in Via Piemonte 127.
Business segments
Following is an overview of the activities carried out by the Bank and Group companies in 2021:
Commercial Division
2021 was characterised by the continuation of the Covid-19 emergency. Consequently, the work for the year followed
innovative paths which nevertheless gave positive results both in economic terms and in improving the service model.
The particularly satisfactory economic figures show that the overall approach given to the business has been correct:
private banking assets under management have exceeded the 7 billion euros mark, and revenue from private banking
services has significantly exceeded the results of the previous year and of the budget targets. The financing activity, not
exclusively of the Lombard type, also represented an important component of the services offered, allowing for a
complete management of the customers' assets and liabilities.
Training was a defining element of the year. The project defined as a “global equity approach” was a step-by-step
process in the analysis of the broad needs of household and of individual HNWI customers. The analysis of needs,
governance, family capitalism, the paths of young customers and pension-insurance planning are some of the in-depth
topics. Finally, we proceeded with the construction of the family budget and the implementation of the project on
customers and prospect targets. The combination in the path of collaboration with professional firms has guaranteed
versatility of training and pragmatism of the same, as well as the expansion of networking with mutual satisfaction.
The growth of our services offer was achieved with the launch of the placement of real assets, in particular with FIAs in
the field of non-performing loans. Asset management has been updated with the introduction of the multiline offer
which reflects the asset allocation macro guidelines, identified from the spring of 2020 and expressed in the investment
path defined "Il mondo che verrà" (The world to come). In this way, in concert with their private banker, customers can
calibrate their core choices with medium-term satellite choices on issues such as infrastructure, health, technology, small
and medium-sized enterprises and other sectors that have been identified as most promising.
Again with regard to the expansion of the service platform and attention to typical wealth management issues, Finnat
Fiduciaria has set up an administration service for alternative PIRs which allows the inclusion of unlisted companies and
the correct allocation of the tax regime. In this way, our wealth management service fully satisfies the needs of
participation in the growth of start-ups and SMEs that are of interest to HNWI customers. Financial planning has always
been a crucial activity of our private banking service, carried out in concert with Finnat Fiduciaria, but the significant M&A
activity that has characterised the last two years has made the offer of escrow agreements particularly intense, especially
in the service of solutions within family assets. In particular, the dynamism of corporate finance transactions made it
possible to provide our customers with financing in particular in the phases preceding corporate finance transactions
that require significant liquidity support.
The offer of wealth and asset management services has focussed on security, the reduction of volatility, the resolution
of family planning issues and creation of high-end pension plans. The multi-branch insurance proposal built with Zurich,
with the aim of reducing volatility and at the same time allowing investments consistent with our long-term
expectations, was a winner in terms of both volumes and performance. Consistently with the “global equity approach”,
the possibility of social security choices, increasingly sought after by HNWIs in the context of the ageing process of the
Italian population, was enhanced. As part of the asset arrangement, the new agreement with the independent insurance
broker First Advisory made it possible to create complex individual management solutions, protecting the customers'

assets and setting the correct long-term asset allocation for each family unit. Insurance products are also a crucial
component in managing the most prudent part of asset allocation of customers, and this year we were also able to use
the range of class 1 life business products of three insurance companies with excellent standing, despite the gradual
disappearance of these insurance financial instruments.
In marketing, we had an active presence through online events, such as economic scenarios and analyses of global
public debt, which increased to amounts never seen before, in both absolute and relative terms. The monthly publication
of analyses and information on the financial markets and on geopolitical and economic issues continued, through which
we attempt to keep our advisory or asset management customers up-to-date on the consistency of our financial tactics
with macroeconomic events.
Investment Banking
Also during 2021, investment banking activities continued to be conditioned by the need to find the right balance
between the need to safeguard the health of both colleagues and customers and the search for reasonable efficiency
in operations. In the various periods of the year, depending on the trend of the pandemic, this exercise involved different
levels of recourse to smart workin, with phases characterised by a resumption of physical meetings with customers and
counterparties alternating with others in which the meetings were only virtual.
In this context, all the organisational structures have shown great flexibility and an ability to adapt which has allowed,
even in a context of objective difficulty, to achieve positive and, in some areas, gratifying results.
Asset Management was characterised by the production of positive returns on all management lines, by a significant
growth in deposits on the Bank's products and by important product innovations. With regard to this latter aspect, in
fact, in the last part of the year a new product was launched - the Multiline GPMs - offering four different risk/return
profiles to customers. The latter - and this is the characterising element of the product - has the ability to actively interact
on the assets of its specific portfolio by mixing various asset classes that are part of the offer according to one's own
expectations and sensitivities. Naturally, this active involvement of customers in defining the asset allocation is possible
within certain limits predefined by the bank, in order to maintain consistency with the customers' own risk profile, and
in any case being able to rely on one's own consultant assistance.
As for the performance of the above mentioned management lines, they are positive even if a gap is observed,
especially in the riskiest profiles, compared to the benchmarks, also deriving from an approach that, with respect to very
positive absolute results (the share lines have achieved around 15%), tends to mitigate the assumption of further risks
in order to consolidate the results. Positive, in many case double digit, returns were also recorded on the SICAV segments,
with the exception of funds with modest duration which, in a context of negative interest rates, closed the year with
modest losses. The result of the AIM Sistema Italia PIR Fund stands out, closing the year with a +56% return and which
gave the Bank a certain visibility as it was the third fund overall in 2021 among those marketed in our country, the best
fund in the equity asset class in Italy, the best PIR fund among all the existing ones.
Compared to the 2020 financial year, securities brokerage saw a strong growth in both volumes and commissions: the
latter mark an increase of about 20%. The increase in the Italian equity sector and related derivatives was particularly
significant. Revenue linked to the Desk activity on CO2 certificates were stable.
Income from services provided to third-party intermediaries in support of their investment services (or to their customers
who use them) continues to grow: it is a niche sector in which the Bank is consolidating its presence with interesting
returns not only in terms of negotiation commissions but also for administrative payments and fees.
The expected contraction in revenue deriving from Corporate Broking mandates (Specialist, Coverage, etc.) linked to the
entry of new competitors in this sector, has actually occurred, but to a lesser extent than feared. Also thanks to the
particular attention and proximity to customers, many issuers have in fact shown that they appreciate the high quality
of our service, to the extent that they do not accept alternative proposals, even if more convenient on a strictly economic
level.

2021 was an important year for placement operations, not only for the 4 IPOs on the AIM market (Gabetti short Rent,
Alfonsino, SIF Italia and - on the PRO segment - Premiafinance) but also for 4 operations involving bond issues, a
segment on which activity had been very sporadic in recent years.
With regard to own account assets, a positive contribution was recorded from equity investments (which are however
marginal) as well as from investments in the banking book, without prejudice to the traditional prudence that
characterises the Bank's investments, mainly concentrated on short-term bonds that in the current negative interest rate
scenario represents an asset class on which it is difficult to make returns.
Lastly, compared to the previous year, there was a significant reduction in margins on carry trade transactions carried
out by the treasury, which led to a decrease in the net interest income.
Advisory & Corporate Finance
During 2021 the team dedicated to these activities continued developing its operating capacity, capturing the
opportunities that arose as part of the scenario of partial general recovery following the problems linked to the Covid-
19 epidemic that marked 2020.
In particular, in addition to continuing operations of current assignments, the team has acquired new ones, confirming
its proximity to companies for financial consulting activities (with particular regard to capital markets, structured finance
and M&A).
The mandates completed include: i) the listings of Premia Finance on the Euronext Growth Milan market, Professional
Segment, of G Rent S.p.A. Alfonsino S.p.A. and S.I.F. S.p.A., on the Euronext Growth Milan market with the role of
Euronext Growth Advisor and Global Coordinator; ii) a financial assistance assignment to a company active in the e-
learning sector, aimed at identifying and illustrating possible financial development tools for the benefit of the company;
iii) a financial assistance assignment for a company active in the marketing of tools and hardware aimed at obtaining
new short and medium/long-term credit lines; iv) a financial assistance assignment aimed at issuing a subordinated
debt instrument listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange by an operator active in the insurance sector listed on Euronext
Growth Milan; v) arranger appointments conferred by some selected issuers for the structuring of a bond basket
dedicated to companies listed on Euronext Growth Milan; vi) assistance to a company active in the renewable energy
sector in order to structure and complete the issue of a debt instrument classified as a sustainable instrument (green
bond), listed on the ExtraMot Pro Cube segment and fully subscribed by a leading international financial operator; vii) a
financial assistance assignment aimed at issuing a subordinated debt instrument by an operator active in the insurance
sector placed in a private placement.
The assignments overseen included: i) financial assistance as a part of an M&A transaction in the packaging sector; ii)
financial assistance to an issuer listed on the MTA segment for the purpose of issuing a professional opinion for the
Board of Directors, relating to the adequacy of the criteria for determining the issue price of new shares as part of a
reserved capital increase; iii) assistance to a primary real estate operator for the preparatory activities for the
presentation to the Municipality of Rome of an urban redevelopment project and for finding the necessary financial
resources to support it; iv) financial assistance to a company active in the professional electronics sector for the
identification of a partner interested in taking an interest in the share capital to support its development; v) financial
assistance in the sale process of a company active at international level in the dropshipping/e-commerce sector.
Lastly, during 2021, the ongoing Euronext Growth Advisor activities continued for some companies listed on the AIM
market. At 31 December 2021, 20 companies were assisted on the Euronext Growth Milan Market. The activity relating
to the listing of SMEs also continued with the acquisition, during the second half of the year, of two mandates for the
listing on the Euronext Growth Milan market of two companies active in the food and compound production sectors.

Asset Management - Real Estate Fund Management
InvestiRE SGR is positioned in the market as a leading operator, specialising in the development of real estate portfolios
in various market sectors, targeted to domestic and international investors. At 31 December, InvestiRE managed around
7 billion euros of assets through 52 funds (all reserved funds except for one retail fund) and represents over 250 national
and international institutional investors, including insurance companies, pension funds, private equity real estate funds
and banks.
During 2021, managed assets experienced a net increase of approximately 5% compared to 31 December 2020.
The main investment activities that took place in 2021 concerned:
the purchase, through contribution, for a value of 181 million euros, of a portfolio of 11 properties, primarily
rental properties for residential use, located in Milan, Turin and Rome, from the PRS Italy Fund. That fund, the
first of its kind in Italy, was established near the end of the previous year by leading Italian and international
investors, and aims to invest in residential portfolios to be developed and held for rental;
in the "Social Housing" segment, the IBI fund completed the purchase of a complex of three lots located in
Reggio Emilia, a complex of residential units located in Molinella (BO) and a package of residential properties
located in Rome for a total of 24 million euros; in addition, the FASP, FHCR, FERSH, FHT and Veneto Casa funds
completed the acquisition of properties and development operations completed in their respective areas of
reference (future purchases) for a total of 46 million euros;
by means of a contribution, the FIEPP Fund acquired four residential properties in the semi-central areas of
Rome, for an equivalent value of approximately 56 million euros; the properties will be subject to subsequent
split disposal;
in the “Distressed” segment, in December, the Securis RE III Fund finalised the contribution of a real estate
portfolio for an equivalent value of approximately 14 million euros.
the purchase, by the Spazio Sanità Fund, of an assisted living facility located in the province of Florence, for a
value of around 5 million euros.
The development activities of new projects also continued which made it possible to realise, among other things:
the establishment of a new real estate fund, with an investment strategy in hotel properties which during the
year completed investments for approximately 50 million euros. This is a property located in the central area
of Rome, which will be affected by major redevelopment works, for a repositioning in the luxury segment;
the takeover of the management of a Fund whose assets are entirely invested in an office building located in
the central area of Milan for a value of approximately 15 million euros. In relation to which a demolition and
reconstruction project is envisaged with a change of intended use of the property to residential and the
subsequent transfer through fractional sale;
the establishment in September of a new real estate fund, with primary foreign investors, whose objective is
to complete the purchase of an area in the Municipality of Milan, for the construction of a student residential
complex;
the establishment of a new real estate fund for the management and enhancement of the "distressed assets",
to be acquired by participating in judicial and bankruptcy auctions.
Furthermore, after the end of the financial year, 6 new real estate funds were set up, with capital raised or in the
collection phase for investments in the residential, student housing and tertiary sectors.
Enhancement activities on the existing portfolio saw development interventions, both for the redevelopment of existing
and new construction assets, for over 110 million euros, of which approximately 40% related to development projects
in the social housing sector. Other development activities concerned projects for tertiary use (about 56%) and for
residential use (about 44%).

Enhancement projects in the tertiary sector include: (i) the substantial completion in the Monterosa Fund of the
redevelopment of two buildings for office use in the centre of Milan, with lease agreements concluded with leading
tenants; (ii) the completion of the renovation of a prestigious property in the centre of Rome (FIEPP Fund), intended for
the Italian headquarters of a leading international company in the media/internet TV content production sector; (iii) the
continuation of the project for the enhancement and repositioning of four properties for hotel use (Shire Fund), which is
expected to open next year.
As part of residential projects, in addition to the preliminary design activities for the redevelopment of the PRS Italy
portfolio, which also involved the building in Milan, Corso Magenta, intended for renovation, with the possible recovery
of a new commercial area and subsequent fractional sale of the units, the following should be noted: (i) the completion
for Twin 1 and 2 Funds of the construction works of 158 apartments in Milan, Cascina Merlata area, fully marketed on a
preliminary basis; (ii) the continuation of the transformation site from office to prestigious residential use, of a property
located in Rome, in the EUR area, owned by the Helios Fund, and (iii) the continuation for the HITA 2 Fund of the
residential redevelopment project of a prestigious property in the centre of Milan, whose preliminary marketing project
already started in 2021; (iv) for the FPEP Fund, the continuation of the second phase of the redevelopment of a residential
property located in the central area of Milan, intended for fractional sale and the continuation of the demolition works
of a real estate complex located in Rome.
In relation to the process of divestment of the assets, the main activities concerned mainly funds for residential use with
fractional sale, and the social housing funds which continued the marketing of the apartments. The sale of the residual
assets of the Funds in liquidation also continued. In particular, the Immobilium Fund, whose extraordinary extension
period is expected to expire in December 2022, completed the disposal of two properties at the end of the year, while
negotiations are underway for the two residual properties.
Trusteeship
Due to the domestic and international macroeconomic scenario, the 2021 financial year was characterised by a strong
recovery which in many cases even exceeded the initial forecasts that had already been optimistically formulated at the
beginning of the year.
The Italian economy recorded a +6.2% growth at 31 December 2021, well above the rosiest expectations of 5% and
also above the economic growth of the eurozone which recorded a +5.2% increase while the Italian stock market
produced extremely positive returns with the FTSE MIB index growing by 23%.
In this strong economic recovery scenario, Finnat Fiduciaria continued developing its business, to the satisfaction of both
its customers and the banking group to which it belongs. The operation to assist its customers in dealing with issues of
planning, protection and succession related to business activities and financial and real estate assets continued.
The year was also characterised by intense Governance activity carried out by the Body with strategic supervision
functions.
During the year 2021, the Board of Directors approved the implementation of Policies and Regulations including:
Anti-Money Laundering Policy - update;
Incentive systems - General principles;
Fair value policy - update;
New Group Regulations.
Shareholders are reassured on the constant compliance with the rules, their evolution and the correct application of the
internal policies and procedures also supported by the Parent Company, in particular as regards the Internal Audit, Anti-
Money Laundering, Compliance and Risk Control Functions.
The initiatives taken by the Company made it possible to successfully recover receivables, consolidating on the results
achieved in the previous years, having collected approximately 89% of the 2021 turnover to date.
The total of "Fiduciary accounts" amounts to a total of 1,762 million euros compared to 1,734 million euros at 31
December 2020 with an increase of 28 million euros considering the contraction of 96 million recorded at the end of
the first quarter of 2020 (1,678 million euros) compared to 31 December 2019 (1,774 million euros).

Corporate Governance
The Bank has adopted a traditional administration and control model, comprising two bodies appointed by the
Shareholders' Meeting: the Board of Directors (with 10 Directors, of which one also holding the position of Honorary
Chairman), the central body in the corporate governance system, exclusively in charge of managing and providing
strategic supervision of the Bank and the Group, and the Board of Statutory Auditors with oversight functions over the
administration and compliance with the law and with the Articles of Association.
The Board of Directors, also in accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter,
“the Code”), established three internal Committees (Risk Committee, Appointments Committee and Remuneration
Committee), consisting of a majority of Independent Directors, which provide proposals, advice and preliminary studies
for the Board.
By virtue of the provisions of the CONSOB Regulation issued through Resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 and the
Code, the Board has also set up a Related Parties Committee, exclusively consisting of Independent Directors.
The Supervisory Body under Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 is appointed by the Board of Directors.
The governance principles of Banca Finnat Euramerica, in addition to being grounded in the applicable laws and
regulations in force in Italy, are also inspired by international best practices on the matter and the recommendations of
the Corporate Governance Code.
The Board of Directors preventively identified the qualitative and quantitative composition of the governing body that is
deemed optimal, in view of the proper and most effective performance of the duties of the Board, in accordance with
the instructions in Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013, as subsequently updated.
Pursuant to the Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013, as subsequently updated, the Shareholders' Meeting
of the Bank of 30 April 2021 approved the remuneration and incentive policies.

updated on 31 March), and that it met the criteria of appropriate overall composition pursuant to Article 11 of the Decree.

on the subject of conditions for the listing of parent companies incorporated or regulated according to the laws of
countries not part of the European Union and of significant relevance for the purposes of the consolidated financial

Market disclosure information
Regarding direct disclosure to the market, the Group declares that:
with reference to the request formulated by Bank of Italy with its communication of 17 June 2008, at 31
December 2021, the Bank did not hold any exposure and/or interest, either directly or through vehicle

investments, such as: - SPE (Special Purpose Entities) - CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligations) - Other subprime
and Alt-A exposures - CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) - Leveraged Finance.

(paragraph 8) and 71 (paragraph 1-bis) of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB through Resolution no. 11971 of
14 May 1999, as subsequently amended, by making use of the right of listed companies to depart from the
obligation to submit the information documents required by Annex 3B of the CONSOB Regulation relating to
future significant extraordinary operations such as mergers, demergers, capital increase by non-cash
contributions, acquisitions and sales;
with reference to the requests contained in joint Document no. 2 dated 6 February 2009 by the Bank of Italy,
CONSOB and ISVAP and in their subsequent Document no. 4 dated 4 March 2010 and the provisions of
paragraphs 15 and 25 of IAS 1, regarding disclosures to be made with respect to going concern assumptions,
please refer to the commentary provided in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Part A, Section 2 - General
financial reporting principles and Part E - Information on Risks and Related Hedging Policies;
the Bank, by the prescribed deadline of 1 February 2018, exercised the option for the application of the
transitional rules prescribed by the Regulation (EU) no. 2017/2395, amending "Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013
as regards transitional arrangements for mitigating the impact of the introduction of IFRS 9 on own funds and
for the large exposures treatment of certain public sector exposures denominated in the domestic currency of
any Member State". The aforesaid transitional rules provide the possibility of including in Common Equity Tier
1 capital a transitional positive component, calculated in percentage terms, of the increase undergone by the
allocations for expected losses on receivables by effect of the first adoption of IFRS 9. This benefit is recognised
for a period of 5 years according to decreasing rates (95% in 2018, 85% in 2019, 70% in 2020, 50% in 2021
and 25% in 2022). From 1 January 2023 onwards, the impact deriving from the first-time adoption of IFRS 9
will be fully reflected in the calculation of own funds. In addition to the possibility of delaying the impact
deriving from the first-time adoption of the new accounting standard to 1 January 2018, the transitional
arrangements provide the possibility of delaying any impacts of the new impairment model also in the first
years following the date of first-time adoption of IFRS 9, albeit limited to those deriving from the measurement
of performing financial assets. On 28/4/2020, the EU, with Regulation no. 2020/0066 issued to combat the
effects of Covid-19, supplemented the above-mentioned transitional provisions, extending their application
from 2022 to 2024 (again with progressively decreasing percentages) for the new provisions recognised in
2020 and in 2021 against performing financial assets.
Capital adequacy, prudential ratios and information on risk management
Information relating to the level of capital adequacy and risk management of the Bank is amply illustrated in the Notes
to the Financial Statements, respectively, in Part F - Information on Equity, and in Part E - Information on risks and related
hedging policies.
Own funds and capital ratios
The Regulatory Capital is determined based on the harmonised regulations for Banks and the Investment companies
contained in the Regulation ("CRR") and in the EU Directive ("CRD IV") of 26 June 2013 that transfer to the European
Union the standards defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (known as Basel 3).
In order to enact the regulations, the Bank of Italy issued Circular no. 285 "Prudential Supervision Provisions for Banks”
on 17 December 2013.
Own funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to 248,893 thousand euros (241,646 thousand euros at 31 December 2020),
whereas the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio stood at 41.96% (47.47% at 31 December
2020). The Bank exercised the option to apply the transitional provisions for the deferment over time of the impacts of
the application of the new accounting standard on own funds - illustrated in the section "Market disclosure information”.
Without this application, Own funds would have been equal to 248,286 thousand euros, while the Total capital ratio, the
CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio would be equal to 41.90%.
These ratios widely exceed minimum capital requirements at consolidated level mandated for us by the Bank of Italy
on conclusion of the supervisory review and evaluation process (SREP) established by Directive no. 2013/36/EU (CRD

As regards the change in employees, it should be noted that during the year 9 employees (of which 1 on a fixed-term
basis and 8 on a permanent contract) ended their employment, while the total number of new recruits was 8 (of which
5 on a fixed-term basis and 3 on a permanent contract). The number of employees remained unchanged while that of
financial advisors agents decreased by 1 unit.
The new recruits, identified through extensive research and selection of candidates, made it possible to cope with
ordinary staff turnover, while continuing to improve the quality of some strategic sectors of activity, such as the
commercial network, implemented through the recruitment of high quality resources with consolidated professional
experience.
As far as training is concerned, 80 courses were held, for a total of 3,038 hours and 1,489 attendances (with 174
employees involved in one or more initiatives).
In compliance with Covid-19 prevention security protocols, almost all training courses were held in e-learning and virtual
classroom mode; interventions were aimed both at updating the knowledge of all staff on specific subjects (the e-
learning course in the privacy field "The European regulation on personal data" was released), and at
consolidating/strengthening the specialist skills of the commercial network (coaching and professional updating courses,
in line with the requirements and provisions of the MIFID II regulation).

By virtue of this option, the Group companies determine their proportion of the taxes payable and the corresponding
tax income (taxable income or tax loss) is transferred to the Parent Company, relating to which a single taxable income
or loss is reported (resulting from the algebraic sum of its own and its participating subsidiaries' incomes/losses) and,
consequently, a single income tax debit/credit of the company is determined.

Most significant transactions of the year
On 10 February 2021, the Bank's Board of Directors examined and approved the Group's new Business Plan for
the period 2021-2023.
On 8 March 2021, Banca Finnat acquired from Covivio 7 S.p.A. (formerly Beni Stabili Siiq) - a shareholder of
InvestiRE SGR with a stake of 17.89% - the entire equity investment (equal to 2,643 shares) at a price that
takes account of the minority discount due to the illiquid nature of the stakes sold. At the same time, the Bank
sold to E.N.P.A.F.- Ente Nazionale di Previdenza e di Assistenza Farmacisti 8.9% (equal to 1,315 shares) of the
shares purchased, at the same price conditions. That transaction enabled E.N.P.A.F. to enter the capital of
InvestiRE and, as a long-term shareholder of the asset management company, can contribute to the strategic
development of InvestiRE. On conclusion of the transaction, the Bank increased its equity investment in Investire
Immobiliare SGR from 50.16% to 59.15%. The details of the transaction are illustrated in the “Documento
informativo relativo ad operazioni di maggiore rilevanza con parti correlate” (Disclosure on related party
transactions of greater significance) published on the Bank's website www.bancafinnat.it, Investor
Relations/Corporate Governance/Documento informativo operazione con soggetto collegato e allegati section

On 30 April 2021 the Bank's Ordinary Shareholder's Meeting:
o approved the Separate Financial Statements and examined the Group Report at 31 December 2020;
o taking account of that set out in the Recommendation on the distribution of dividends of the Bank of

date 24 May 2021). That amount falls within the maximum permitted in compliance with the
provisions of said recommendation; 2) a second dividend of 0.01085 euros per share, to be paid in
the time window from 1 October 2021 to 31 January 2022, whose distribution, in compliance with the
provisions of said recommendation, shall in any event be subject to the verification by the Board of
Directors that there are no limits or conditions imposed by the European Central Bank and the Bank of
Italy that could prevent or limit said distribution. This dividend was distributed on 27 October 2021.
o appointed the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the three-
year period 2021-2023;
o appointed Giampietro Nattino as Honorary Chairman for the three-year period 2021-2023;

2021-2023;
o approved the Remuneration Policy drawn up pursuant to Article 123-ter of Italian Legislative Decree

On 14 July 2021, as decided by the Board of Directors on 14 June 2021, the Bank undertook to irrevocably
subscribe units of the “BFE Revalue” real estate fund for a total value of 2 million euros, to be finalised through
payment in cash (200 thousand euros paid at 31 December 2021). That fund, managed by the subsidiary
InvestiRE SGR S.p.A., manages the real estate lodged as collateral for loans subject to foreclosure, with targeted
actions mainly for the purpose of participating in auctions and stimulating market demand, for the purpose of
favouring the settlement of unsatisfied loans, supporting the value of assets with the potential to increase in
value outside of the foreclosure procedure. The fund will also manage the properties contributed to the Bank
as a result of their assignment to the Bank following the positive outcome of pending foreclosure procedures.
On 5 August 2021, the Bank's Board of Directors appointed Mr. Giulio Bastia, Assistant General Manager and
Financial Reporting Manager of the Bank, the title of "Deputy" General Manager in order to allow the Assistant
General Manager to exercise the functions attributed to the General Manager in the event of their absence
from service or impediment.

Auditors for the delivery by the Bank of Italy of the Inspection Report concerning the ordinary inspection carried
out on the whole Banking Group from 6 April 2021 to 14 July 2021. The inspection was specifically focused on
the governance of the Group and the operating and reputational risk and lending activities of the Bank.
On 20 October 2021, the Board of Directors of the Bank, in line with the provisions of the Shareholders' Meeting
of 30 April 2021, taking into account the provisions of the recommendation on the matter of dividend
distribution of the Bank of Italy of 16 December 2020 and having verified the absence of limits and conditions
dictated by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Italy that could prevent or limit said distribution, ordered
the payment of the following additional dividend equal to 0.01085 euros per share, which was paid on 27
October 2021 (coupon detachment date 25 October 2021).
Covid-19
In the first days of January 2021 there was a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country. In this
context, on 14 January the Council of Ministers with Italian Law Decree no. 2 extended the state of emergency linked to
the Covid-19 pandemic expiring on 31 January to 30 April 2021; on the same date, the Government also issued a new
Prime Ministerial Decree with anti-contagion measures in force from 16 January to 5 March 2021. The Prime Ministerial
Decree set limits on travel between regions and confirmed the division of the country into red, orange and yellow zones,
based on the contagion indexes, confirming all the measures already in place and expiring at the end of January. In
order to manage and reduce the spread of the pandemic, in the first few days of January the first phase of the vaccination
campaign began. On 2 March, the Government issued a new Prime Ministerial Decree that dictated new rules and
confirmed the previous ones in force from 6 March to 6 April. The restrictive measures enacted included the closure of
all schools of all levels in the red zones.
On 21 April 2021, in light of the comforting scientific data, which recorded a significant slowdown in the epidemic, and
in consideration of the trend in the vaccination campaign, the Government approved the Reopening Decree applicable
from 26 April to 31 July. The text of the Decree outlines a schedule for gradually removing the restrictions introduced in
the previous months, with scheduled gradual reopenings of bars, restaurants, gyms and cultural activities. The various
measures set out included the introduction throughout Italy of “Covid-19 Green Passes” for the purpose of certifying that
an individual has been vaccinated or has healed from the infection or that they have had a quick molecular or antigen
test with a negative result. The pass allows people to move between regions, even those assigned different colours.
The Decree also extended to 31 July the state of health emergency that was expiring on 30 April. During the month of
June, a further improvement in the epidemiological situation was recorded throughout the national territory mainly due
to the achievement of a high vaccination coverage and therefore starting from 28 June, with an order signed by the
Minister of Health, the whole national territory was declared a "White zone".

On 28 June, the Prime Minister signed the Decree defining the procedures for issuing "Covid-19 digital green
certifications" (the Green Pass); the certificate is intended to facilitate participation in public events and travel on the
national territory and from 1 July guarantees holders free circulation within the European Union.
On 13 October 2021, in compliance with the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree no. 127/2021 which extends the
obligation, starting from 15 October, to use the Covid-19 green certificate also to workers employed in the private sector,
the Bank issued a circular setting out the procedure for checking the Green Pass. The circular, also distributed to other
companies of the Group, defines the procedures for checking possession of the green certificate to access the Bank's
workplaces and carry out one's work. The recipients of the obligation to hold and exhibit (upon request) a green pass
are all those who carry out, in any capacity, their work in the Bank's offices, in particular: employees, collaborators,
trainees, external consultants and suppliers. For each place of work, persons responsible for checking the green pass
using the national C19 Verification App were formally appointed by the Bank. The Bank has also established the role of
Covid Manager, who coordinates the activities of all the persons responsible for checks.
In the last days of December 2021 there was a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country due
to the spread of a new variant called Omicron. This new variant, identified for the first time in mid-November 2021 in
South Africa and detected in Italy in the first days of December 2021, has a greater transmissibility and aggressiveness
than the Delta and the other variants, due to a faster and easier diffusion of the virus. Especially in consideration of the
speed of spread of Covid-19, at the end of December 2021 the Government approved two decree-laws to introduce
urgent measures for the containment and spread of the epidemic, and provisions on health surveillance.
On 24 December 2021, the Council of Ministers issued decree-law no. 221 which provides, among other things, for the
extension until 31 March 2022 of the national state of emergency connected to the protraction of the epidemic. The
decree also provided for the obligation to wear FFP2 type masks for access and use of all means of transport and for
shows open to the public.
On 30 December 2021, the Council of Ministers approved decree-law no. 229, on health surveillance, which provides,
starting from 10 January 2022 and until the end of the state of emergency, the extension of the reinforced Green Pass
( "Super Green Pass" obtainable only with the completion of the vaccination cycle or through recovery) for access to the
following activities: hotels and accommodation facilities, outdoor catering services, conference centres, ski lifts, etc.; the
decree also provides for the use of the Super Green Pass for access and use of means of transport including local and
regional public transport.
In particular, in terms of support for its customers, during the 2020 financial year, the Bank had promptly activated the
measures envisaged by the "Cura Italia" Decree which, in Article 56, had established an extraordinary moratorium for
the benefit of micro enterprises and SMEs to which loans or credit lines had been granted. The deadline for the measures
contained in the Decree was originally scheduled for 30 September 2020; subsequently, confronted with the protracted
economic effects of the health crisis, the Government postponed this original deadline several times, until 31 December
2021.
The Notes to the Financial Statements (Part A - Accounting policies, Section 4 - Other aspects) provide information on
the effects that the Covid-19 epidemic has produced on risk management strategies, objectives and policies, as well as
on the economic and financial situation of the Bank in compliance with the communication of the Bank of Italy of 21
December 2021.
In particular, the positions subject to the measures envisaged by the "Cura Italia" Decree, represented in the table "4.4a
Loans valued at amortised cost subject to Covid-19 support measures: gross value and total impairment losses" of the
Notes to the Financial Statements, are constantly monitored by the bank and currently do not show any signs of
deterioration.

In particular as regards the loans subject to a moratorium, which fall within the scope of the "Guidelines on legislative
and non-legislative moratoriums on loan repayments applied in the light of the Covid 19 crisis" published by the EBA
(EBA/GL/2020/02) and subsequent amendments and additions, at 31 December 2021 there were two positions for a
total exposure of 1,571 thousand euros compared to 18 positions for a total of 18,663 thousand euros in place at 31
December 2020. The loans subject to the moratorium no longer compliant with the GL and not valued as forborne
performing exposure amount to 6 positions at 31 December 2021 for a total exposure of 16,756 thousand euros. These
positions, which the Bank constantly monitors even after the expiry of the forbearance measures, do not presently show
signs of deterioration.
Significant events occurring after the end of the year
In the period between the end of the 2021 financial year and the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, no
significant events or facts emerged that would entail the adjustment of the economic, equity and financial situation of
the Bank.
However, it should be noted that on 11 February 2022 the Mr Carlo Carlevaris, for many years Chairman of the Bank's
Board of Directors, passed away. The whole Banca Finnat Euramerica Group remembers with deep emotion his qualities
of great professionalism and humanity.
Covid-19
Since the beginning of 2022 there has been a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country due to
the wide spread of the new Omicron variant which recorded several times, during the month of January throughout the
national territory, peaks of positive Covid-19 tests exceeding 200,000 units per day and a number of deaths exceeding
400 units.
Especially in consideration of the speed of the epidemic, on 7 January 2022 the Government issued Italian Decree Law
no. 1 for the adoption of further measures for the prevention and containment of Covid-19 in order to limit the increasing
trend of the contagion curve and to implement protection measures for the most exposed categories. In particular,
starting from 15 February and until 15 June 2022, the decree provides for the vaccination obligation for all workers in
the public and private sectors aged 50. In this regard it should be noted that the reinforced Green Pass, whose verification
is the responsibility of employers, constitutes an essential requirement for carrying out working activities. The decree
also provides for the extension of the basic Green Pass to access:
- personal services (barbers, hairdressers and beauticians) starting from 20 January 2022;
- public offices, postal, banking and financial services and commercial activities not of primary necessity, starting from
1 February 2022.
Within its competence, the Bank promptly respected and applied the provisions of the new government measures
described above; the Bank also updated and integrated the circular issued on 13 October 2021 which defines the
methods for checking possession of the Green Pass to access workplaces, it also further strengthened the health facilities
already in place, and increased the number of smart working employees.
The Bank's Coronavirus Emergency Committee continuously monitors the evolution of the pandemic at national level in
order to provide indications to the top management on how to deal with all the cases that could arise.
It should be noted that, despite the emergency situation described above, all the companies of the Banca Finnat Group
have ensured and continue to ensure operational continuity towards counterparties and the market, always guaranteeing
the maximum efficiency of the service offered to customers both in branches and through online banking services.
Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
At 5 a.m. local time on 24 February 2022, Russian armed forces crossed the borders and began the invasion of Ukraine.
The advance of the Soviet troops continued day after day with the aim of reaching the capital Kiev.
The NATO countries reacted immediately by activating their defensive plans by putting their forces on maximum alert.
Through the President of the Commission, the European Union has announced heavy economic sanctions such as: the
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

39
interruption of the export of technology to Moscow, the freezing of Russian assets and the end of Russian banks' access
to the European capital market.
The European Union, aligning itself with the position of the United States, Great Britain and Canada, has also provided
to exclude some Russian banks from the Swift international payment system.
At the moment it is not possible to make any predictions regarding the potential economic impacts deriving from the
situation of serious international instability that has arisen as a result of the ongoing war. Taking into account the current
situation and in the desirable hypothesis of a rapid resolution of hostilities, it is not believed that these impacts could
be significant.
On 7 March 2022, with a joint press release, the Bank of Italy, CONSOB, IVASS and UIF called the attention of the
supervised entities to full compliance with the restrictive measures applied by the European Union in response to the
Russian military aggression in Ukraine. In compliance with what is reported in the Press Release, the Bank is putting in
place all the controls and devices necessary in order to comply with the restrictive measures adopted by the EU,
constantly monitoring the updating of the measures in question.
Operating outlook
The forecasts for the year 2022, drawn up at the beginning of the year by the Bank and the other Group Companies,
were prepared taking into account the persistence of the Covid-19 epidemiological emergency situation but also the
benefits deriving from the economic policy measures adopted at national and international level and a consequent
resolution of the crisis generated by the pandemic starting from the end of the current year. The expected results allow
us to confirm interesting levels of profitability and capitalisation also for 2022.
Taking into account the above-described serious international situation in progress, in the periodic reports scheduled for
the year, the Bank will provide updates on the effects that the evolution of the Russian invasion in Ukraine may have
on the performance of company activities.

Dear Shareholders,
We submit for your approval the financial statements for the 2021 financial year consisting of the Statement of Financial
Position, the Income Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Cash
Flow Statement and the Notes to the Financial Statements, as well as the relative attachments and the Report on
management performance.
We also propose to allocate the profit for the year as follows:
profit for the year Euro 5,679,140
to legal reserve, for the 5% portion to be allocated in
accordance with the law and the Articles of Association Euro 283,957
to the 334,069,360* ordinary shares
a gross dividend of 0.012 euros per share
(equal to 6% of the nominal value of the same shares) Euro 4,008,832
to the extraordinary reserve Euro 1,386,351
______________
total Euro 5,679,140
* Number of shares calculated by subtracting from the total number of ordinary shares, equal to 362,880,000, the
treasury shares in portfolio at the date of approval of the draft financial statements at 31 December 2021 equal to
28,810,640.
The dividends proposed for each eligible ordinary share, as indicated above, have been calculated considering the
redistribution of the profit referring to treasury shares held in the portfolio at the date of the approval of the draft
financial statements at 31 December 2021 by the Board of Directors.
Pursuant to Art. 1 of the Ministerial Decree of 2 April 2008, the dividends referred to in this proposal, exclusively for tax
purposes, are presumed to be formed with the profits produced in years prior to 31 December 2007, having ascertained
the presence of adequate reserves formed with profits generated up to the year in progress on that date.
It should also be noted that the aforementioned allocation of the profit for the year complies with the provisions of Art.
6 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/2005.

Part A – Accounting policies
A.1 – General Information
Section 1 - Declaration of compliance with international accounting standards
The financial statements at 31 December 2021 of Banca Finnat Euramerica have been prepared applying the International
Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued, as amended, by the
International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), as endorsed by the European Commission, in force at 31 December
2021, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation EC no. 1606/02.
The international accounting standards have been applied taking into account, where necessary, the "Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements" (the Framework).
For further guidance on the application of the new accounting standards, the Company has also referred to the
interpretations provided by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as well as the
documents issued to support the introduction of the IAS/IFRS in Italy by the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) - the
Italian Accounting Board - and the documents produced by the Italian Bankers' Association (ABI).
If no standard or applicable interpretation applied specifically to a transaction, other event or condition, reference was
made to the provisions and guidelines contained in the standards and interpretations dealing with similar and related
issues, taking into account the Framework provisions.
Section 2 - General financial reporting principles
These separate Financial Statements of Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. at 31 December 2021 were prepared in
accordance with the provisions laid down by Bank of Italy Circular no. 262 of 22 December 2005 "Banks' financial
statements: layouts and preparation" - update 7 of 29 October 2021. Among other things, this latest update has the
purpose of aligning, as far as possible, the financial statements with the consolidated financial reports at European level
(FINREP).
The communication of the Bank of Italy of 21 December 2021 - Update of the additions to the provisions of Circular no.
262 "Bank's financial statements: compilation schemes and rules", concerning the impacts of Covid-19 and measures to
support the economy. This communication, which repeals and replace the previous one of 15 December 2020, has the
purpose to update the additions to the provisions of Circular no. 262/2005 to provide the market with information on
the effects that Covid-19 has produced on risk management strategies, objectives and policies, as well as on the Bank's
economic and equity situation. The communication in question provides that the tabular representation of the new
provisions, referring to the 2021 financial statements, also include the indication of the comparative amounts referring
to the data for the year 2020.
Account was also taken of the interpretative and support documents for the application of the accounting standards in
relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by the European regulatory and supervisory bodies and by standard setters,
aimed at clarifying the methods of application of the IAS/IFRS in the current pandemic environment (ESMA Notices, EBA
guidelines, letter from the ECB dated 4 December 2020 and ESMA Notice of 29 October 2021).
The accounting standards applied to prepare these Financial Statements have remained unchanged with respect to those
applied to prepare the 2020 Financial Statements, with the exception of what indicated “Information on the main
financial statement items”.
With reference to the evolution of the accounting legislation, it should be noted that starting from 2021, Regulation no.
25/2021 of 13 January 2021, which incorporates the document "Reform of the reference indices for determining interest
rates - phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16" on issues relating to the revision of interest
rates (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - IBOR Reform) is applicable. The main changes introduced concern the possible
accounting impacts deriving from the application of the new rates, in particular the accounting representation of the
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

52
amendments to existing contracts and accounting hedges. From the point of view of the accounting representation, it
is clarified that the changes following the IBOR Reform relating to the replacement of the existing IBOR rate with the
new Risk Free Rate should not constitute a derecognition event, but are to be considered as a modification in the
accounts. In this context, a practical expedient has been introduced which makes it possible not to derecognise the
financial instrument and not to have to adjust its gross book value by recognising net modification gains (losses). With
regard to hedge accounting, some exceptions have been introduced to IAS 39 and IFRS 9 which allow, for hedging
relationships affected by the reform of the benchmark interest rates, not to carry out "discounting" on existing hedges
and reflect alternative benchmark interest rates therein. The aforementioned changes introduced by the IASB, with the
aim of avoiding distorting effects on the financial statements as a consequence of the reform, did not have any
accounting impact for the Bank.
The Separate Financial Statements consist of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement, the Statement
of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Cash Flow Statement as well as these Notes to the
Financial Statements.
They are also accompanied by the Report of the Board of Directors on the Bank's situation, on the economic management
performance as a whole and in the various sectors in which it operated as well as on the main risks and uncertainties
that it faces.
The Separate Financial Statements also include the Statement of Changes in Equity investments.
The Report on Corporate Governance prepared pursuant to Art. 123-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance.
The Notes to the Separate Financial Statements provide all the information required by law as well as any additional
information deemed necessary to give a true and fair view of the Bank's situation. If the information required by the
international accounting standards and by the provisions contained in Circular of the Bank of Italy no. 262 of 22 December
2005 - 7th update are not sufficient to give a truthful, correct, relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable
representation, complementary information necessary for this purpose is provided in the notes to the financial
statements.
The schedules of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive
Income are made up of items, sub-items and further information details (the “of which” pertaining to items and sub-
items). The items, sub-items and related information details constitute the separate financial statements. Items that do
not present amounts for the year to which the financial statements refer, nor for the previous one, are not shown. In
the Income Statement and in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, revenue is indicated without a sign, while costs
are indicated in brackets.
The amount of the previous year is also indicated for each item of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income
Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Cash Flow Statement.
In compliance with Article 5 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38 of 28 February 2005, the Financial Statements were
prepared using the euro as the reporting currency. The amounts in the accounting schedules are expressed in units of
Euro while the data in the Notes to the Financial Statements, unless otherwise specified, are expressed in thousands of
euro.
The Separate Financial Statements provide a true and fair view of the equity, financial situation and economic result for
the year. The financial statements were also drawn up, as already mentioned, with a view to the continuation of
operations (IAS 1 paragraph 25), in compliance with the principle of accruals (IAS 1 paragraph 27 and 28) and in
compliance with the obligation to make adjustments for reflect events subsequent to the reporting date (IAS 10). Assets
and liabilities, income and expenses have not been offset, except where required or allowed by a standard or
interpretation (IAS 1, paragraph 32). The cost of inventory and of financial instruments was calculated using the weighted
average daily cost method (IAS 2, paragraph 25).
The Separate Financial Statements of Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. are subject to audit by KPMG S.p.A., whose attached
Report is explicitly referred to.

As required by IAS 8, the Regulations endorsed by the European Commission that apply from 1 January 2021 onwards
are shown below:
o Regulation no. 25/2021 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - phase 2 - (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7,
IFRS 4 and IFRS 16).
o Regulation no. 1421/2021 - Concession on royalties related to Covid-19 after 30 June 2021 (Amendment to
IFRS 16).
In addition, the European Commission has approved the following Regulation (for amendments or issuances of new
standards) which will be applied starting from 1 January 2023:
o Regulation no. 2023/2021 - Insurance contracts - Amendment to IFRS 17.
Section 3 - Subsequent events
In the period between the end of the 2021 financial year and the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, no
significant events or facts emerged that would entail the adjustment of the economic, equity and financial situation of
the Bank.
However, it should be noted that on 11 February 2022 the Mr Carlo Carlevaris, for many years Chairman of the Bank's
Board of Directors, passed away. The whole Banca Finnat Euramerica Group remembers with deep emotion his qualities
of great professionalism and humanity.
Covid-19
Since the beginning of 2022 there has been a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country due to
the wide spread of the new Omicron variant which recorded several times, during the month of January throughout the
national territory, peaks of positive Covid-19 tests exceeding 200,000 units per day and a number of deaths exceeding
400 units.
Especially in consideration of the speed of the epidemic, on 7 January 2022 the Government issued Italian Decree Law
no. 1 for the adoption of further measures for the prevention and containment of Covid-19 in order to limit the increasing
trend of the contagion curve and to implement protection measures for the most exposed categories. In particular,
starting from 15 February and until 15 June 2022, the decree provides for the vaccination obligation for all workers in
the public and private sectors aged 50. In this regard it should be noted that the reinforced Green Pass, whose verification
is the responsibility of employers, constitutes an essential requirement for carrying out working activities. The decree
also provides for the extension of the basic Green Pass to access:
- personal services (barbers, hairdressers and beauticians) starting from 20 January 2022;
- public offices, postal, banking and financial services and commercial activities not of primary necessity, starting from
1 February 2022.
Within its competence, the Bank promptly respected and applied the provisions of the new government measures
described above; the Bank also updated and integrated the circular issued on 13 October 2021 which defines the
methods for checking possession of the Green Pass to access workplaces, it also strengthened the health facilities
already in place, and increased the number of smart working workers.
The Bank's Coronavirus Emergency Committee continuously monitors the evolution of the pandemic at national level in
order to provide indications to the top management on how to deal with all the cases that could arise.
It should be noted that, despite the emergency situation described above, all the companies of the Banca Finnat Group
have ensured and continue to ensure operational continuity towards counterparties and the market, always guaranteeing
the maximum efficiency of the service offered to customers both in branches and through online banking services.

Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
At 5 a.m. local time on 24 February 2022, Russian armed forces crossed the borders and began the invasion of Ukraine.
The advance of the Soviet troops continued day after day with the aim of reaching the capital Kiev.
The NATO countries reacted immediately by activating their defensive plans by putting their forces on maximum alert.
Through the President of the Commission, the European Union has announced heavy economic sanctions such as: the
interruption of the export of technology to Moscow, the freezing of Russian assets and the end of Russian banks' access
to the European capital market.
The European Union, aligning itself with the position of the United States, Great Britain and Canada, has also provided
to exclude some Russian banks from the Swift international payment system.
At the moment it is not possible to make any predictions regarding the potential economic impacts deriving from the
situation of serious international instability that has arisen as a result of the ongoing war. Taking into account the current
situation and in the desirable hypothesis of a rapid resolution of hostilities, it is not believed that these impacts could
be significant.
On 7 March 2022, with a joint press release, the Bank of Italy, CONSOB, IVASS and UIF called the attention of the
supervised entities to full compliance with the restrictive measures applied by the European Union in response to the
Russian military aggression in Ukraine. In compliance with what is reported in the Press Release, the Bank is putting in
place all the controls and devices necessary in order to comply with the restrictive measures adopted by the EU,
constantly monitoring the updating of the measures in question.
Section 4 - Other information
Risks, uncertainties and impacts of the Covid-19 epidemic
In compliance with the Bank of Italy's communication dated 21 December 2020 "Additions to the provisions of Circular
no. 262/2005 concerning the impacts of Covid-19 and measures to support the economy and amendments to the
IAS/IFRS" information is provided below on the effects that the Covid-19 epidemic has produced on the strategies,
objectives and policies of risk management, as well as on the Bank's income statement and financial position.
Risks and uncertainties
In compliance with the IAS/IFRSs, the Bank carries out valuations, estimates and assumptions to support the application
of the accounting standards and to determine the amounts of the assets, liabilities, costs and revenue reported in the
financial statements, as well as the disclosure relating to contingent assets and liabilities.
The estimates and relevant assumptions are based on previous experience and on other factors considered reasonable
in the case in question and were adopted to estimate the book value of the assets and liabilities that cannot be easily
inferred from other sources.
In particular, estimate processes were adopted in support of the book values of some of the most significant valuation
items recognised in the Financial Statements at 31 December 2021, as set forth in the accounting standards and
reference regulations described above. These processes are based largely on estimates of future recoverability of the
values booked to the financial statements according to the rules dictated by the regulations in force and were carried
out on the basis of the going concern assumption, i.e. excluding the assumption of forced settlement of the items subject
to valuation.
The processes adopted confirm the book values at 31 December 2021. The parameters and information used to verify
the values mentioned earlier are therefore greatly influenced by the factors which could be subject to rapid changes
that are currently not foreseeable, so that subsequent effects on future book values cannot be ruled out.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any changes resulting from these revisions are booked in the
period in which the revision is carried out, if the same concerns solely that period. In the event in which the revision
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

55
concerns both current and future periods, the change is booked in the period in which the revision is carried out in the
relative future periods.
The main cases where the use of subjective evaluations by Management are most requested are:
– quantifying losses due to impairment of loans and, in general, other financial assets and equity
investments;
– using valuation models for recognising the fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
– estimating and assuming the recoverability of deferred tax assets;
– estimating the recoverable value of goodwill;
– the estimate of the actuarial gains/losses related to the post-employment benefits;
– estimating any provisions for risks and charges.
Going concern assumption
In accordance with the requirements of the joint Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP document no. 2 of 6 February 2009
and paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1, the Directors of the Bank, in the current Covid-19 epidemiological emergency, have
taken into account with the utmost caution and attention - for the purpose of preparing these financial statements - a
series of financial, management and other indicators, in order to identify the existence of any circumstance that may be
relevant for assessing the compliance with the 'going concern' requirement.
As a result of the tests conducted on the realisable value of the assets and in consideration of the reliability and results
of the risk measurement systems, the Directors of the Bank are confident there is no evidence that could cast doubts
on the Bank continuing as a going concern, even when taking full account of the impacts of Covid-19. Given the size of
assets, the substantial financial resources owned and the composition, quality and liquidity of the portfolio of financial
assets, the Directors have prepared these Financial Statements in the full conviction that the Bank meets the
requirements of a going concern in the foreseeable future.
Methods of application of the IAS/IFRSs
The Bank paid particular attention to compliance with accounting and prudential rules as well as the correct application
of international accounting standards, also taking into account the aforementioned communication from the Bank of
Italy. From the analysis performed - focusing in particular on IFRS 9 and IAS 36, IFRS 15, IFRS 16 and IAS 19, summarised
below - no particularly critical issues were identified as concerns for the drafting of these Financial Statements.
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments - IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets
On the premise that the Bank has never modified its business models, the following issues were specifically analysed:
Increase in credit risk.
Taking into account the intervention of ESMA of 25 March 2020 and of the IFRS Foundation of 27 March 2020, the
Bank did not consider the economic support measures put into place by the government to support borrowers in
response to Covid-19 as measures that automatically trigger an SICR (significant increase in credit risk); instead, it
assessed any increase in credit risk using reasonable and supportable current and forward-looking information at
the date on which these Financial Statements were drafted.
It should also be highlighted that the moratoriums granted to performing customers to handle the Covid-19
emergency, in line with the provisions of the guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority
(EBA/GL/2020/02) on 2 April 2020, did not entail the classification of customer exposures as forborne performing
exposures, since the application of a general legislative moratorium, adopted as a specific response to the current
economic situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, is not a forbearance measure and therefore should not be
considered a restructuring as a result of financial difficulty. For those positions, the calculation of days past due was
therefore suspended.

Staging allocation – Significant increase in credit risk – new quantitative regulation.
The accounting standards applied to prepare these Financial Statements at 31 December 2021 have remained
unchanged with respect to those applied to prepare the Financial Statements at 31 December 2020, with the
exception of what indicated in section A.2 - “Information on the main financial statement items”. With respect to
the last financial year, an amendment was also made to point ”15 - Other information and 6 - Methods for
determining impairment losses” specifically regarding the identification of a “significant increase" in credit risk.
Specifically, starting in the current year, the outsourcer that provides the operating system the Bank uses made an
update to the rating model, which also introduces the new definition of default set out in Article 178 of Regulation
no. 575/2013 (CRR) adopted by the Bank and consistent with the definition of impaired financial assets set out in
IFRS 9. The update to the rating model made resulted in several changes to the quantitative criteria established by
the Bank's current policy to identify a "significant increase” in credit risk, exclusively as regards the staging method
defined for the loans portfolio.
Specifically, in order to verify a significant deterioration in credit quality and the resulting transfer of the financial
instrument from Stage 1 to Stage 2, the quantitative criterion based on the verification of deterioration of the
counterparties' ratings has been replaced with a new criterion based on the verification of the change in the
Probability of Default (PD) of the credit position. The changes in PD are calibrated on the single rating classes and
prudently considered the evolution of the curve, which is monotonic (the curve grows as the rating class worsens).
The Bank has identified the thresholds for change in PD which, when reached, moves the financial instrument from
Stage 1 to Stage 2, differentiated by type of customer (retail and corporate) and by rating class, as shown below:

Measurement of expected credit losses.
With reference to the measurement of expected losses on credit exposures, the competent Authorities suggest
considering the deterioration of the economic situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and, taking into account
the context of high uncertainty, estimate the expected losses avoiding excessively pro-cyclical assumptions, giving
a greater weight to historical information than to long-term macroeconomic forecasts.
To determine the collective write-down of performing positions (on- and off-balance sheet) at 31 December 2021,
Banca Finnat used the consortium model developed by the IT outsourcer as, in accordance with IFRS 9, it takes into
account the updating of the historical series of risk parameters and macroeconomic scenarios based on the latest
available forecasts. The estimation model adopted incorporates the macroeconomic scenarios implemented by the
specialist provider Prometeia. The estimates of risk parameters, and in particular the forward looking information,
at 31 December 2021 show significant improvements generated by the positive evolution of the macro-economic

situation, also determined by the introduction of support measures for businesses consisting of the State guarantee
on bank loans and the gradual easing of anti-Covid measures, nationally and internationally.
The forward looking information required by the model identify three scenarios (Best/Base/Worst) to which the
following weights were assigned in the previous years: 5/90/5.
Nonetheless, considering the current unusual situation, in line with the provisions of the Supervisory Bodies to
encourage banks to keep using suitably prudent approaches, Banca Finnat decided to change the above weights,
prudentially assigning a weight of 90 to the Worst scenario and a weight of 5 to the Base and Best scenarios. This
approach resulted in an increase in impairment losses on performing loans of approximately 195 thousand euros.
Despite the significant improvement in the emergency situation triggered by the pandemic and the positive
estimates of growth in the Italian and European GDP, it is in fact considered that the signals of the increase in the
number of infections at internal level of new variants of the Covid-19 virus, could lead to new containment
measures and, as a result, have an impact on the macroeconomic variables with significant effects on the
calculation of expected losses.
With regard to the calibration of the statistical matrices, taking into account that in order to deal with the economic
emergency triggered by the pandemic, government measures have been adopted through credit moratoriums and
the provision of guarantees through the use of public funds, in the development of the impairment model, despite
having recalibrated the default rate available at 31 December 2021 and having used the latest Forward Looking
Information of the satellite model, the Bank has prudentially deemed it appropriate to keep the transition matrices
of the statistical model unchanged.
Fair value measurement.
In the current context characterised by market uncertainty and volatility, there could be an increase in
measurements classified as Level 3, through the use of non - observable inputs, due to the disappearance of prices
quoted in active markets (Level 1) and/or observable inputs (Level 2). Movement within the fair value hierarchy
could take place for various types of financial instruments. At 31 December 2021 there have been no significant
changes in the fair value hierarchy and as regards the valuation of financial instruments classified in Level 3, the
Group has maintained the same criteria as those adopted in the 2020 Group Report, adding an integration to the
Policy adopted to include the assessment method relating to a type of investment previously not envisaged, as
illustrated in the Section “Information on fair value”.
Impairment of assets
At 31 December 2021 the Bank carried out impairment testing of its assets also taking into account the crisis
situation generated by Covid-19.
Pursuant to IAS 36, the Bank tested the recoverability of the book values of equity investments in associated
companies measured at cost. The tests conducted did not show any problems and, thus, it was not necessary to
record any impairment losses.
Deferred tax assets at 31 December 2021 are in line with ESMA guidelines. The Bank has verified the recoverability
of the same recorded in accordance with IAS 12. On the basis of the assessments performed at 31 December 2021
with regard to the economic and financial projections, it is deemed with reasonable certainty that the deferred tax
assets recognised in the statement of financial position assets will be recovered in full.
Contractual changes resulting from Covid-19
1) Contractual changes and accounting derecognition (IFRS 9)
At 31 December 2021 the pandemic did not cause significant deterioration in the payment capacity of the Bank's
customers; to this end, the following were assessed:
whether any price reductions granted may have led to a change in the contract;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

58
if any payment extensions granted to customers could have generated a significant financial component.
The analysis performed did not show conditions for the revision of timing and methods for the recognition of
revenue.
It should also be noted that during the year - following the measures put in place by the Government to support
the economy to mitigate the pandemic effect - no significant contractual changes or accounting derecognitions
were made for the Bank's customers.
2) Amendment of IFRS 16
As lessees, the Bank did not exercise any extension option set forth by IFRS 16 in the case of significant events or
changes caused specifically by the decline in economic activity and the uncertainty of the macroeconomic scenario,
nor did it rely on the provisions of the amendment "Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions" published by the IASB on
28 May 2020, which provides lessees with the option of accounting for payment reductions without needing to
evaluate, by analysing the contracts, if the changes fall within the definition of lease modification set forth in IFRS
16.
Impact of the pandemic on the Bank's strategies and results for the year
The Bank's business strategies have not changed as a result of the pandemic. The Bank ensured business continuity vis-
à-vis counterparties and the market, always ensuring the maximum efficiency of the service offered to customers both
in branch and through remote channels.
None of the Bank's activities was interrupted, even temporarily, in particular as regards customer service.
Despite the economic crisis which significantly affected many production sectors at national level, the Bank's result for
the year 2021 is slightly higher than the result of the previous year and it should be noted that in the year in question
there were no absolute or relative negative impacts recorded on the main items of the statement of financial position
and income statement due to the pandemic.
2021 recorded a recover in activities and services targeted to corporate and institutional customers, which were more
harshly penalised by the economic crisis in the previous year. The increase in net fee and commission income recorded
compared to 2020 is in fact mainly attributable to the increase in trading commissions, advisory commissions on
managed deposits and placement of funds, thanks to the growth in indirect deposits, as well as to the increase in
advisory and corporate finance commissions also as a result of the implementation of two bond placement transactions
and four placement transactions on the Euronext Growth Milan stock market (in this regard, note the strong growth in
turnover and transactions on this market, also supported by the 44 admissions transactions in 2021).
Net interest income, on the other hand, decreased by 37% compared to the previous year, mainly due to the decrease
in the contribution of repurchase agreements on the proprietary portfolio.
Lastly, with reference to IAS 19 application, actuarial gains/losses related to the provision for post-employment benefits
registered during 2021 are in line with previous years.
Net impairment losses for credit risk of financial assets decreased by 4.2 million euro compared to 2020 due to lower
analytical adjustments made while maintaining the coverage rate of non-performing loans unchanged.
It should be noted that the Bank is keeping significant attention focused, specifically, on monitoring credit positions
subject to moratorium and government guarantees, or which enjoyed subsidies at commercial level in the initial period
of the crisis caused by the pandemic. A fresh outbreak of the emergency situation triggered by the spread of new
variants, though contained by the vaccination campaign, could threaten the positive impact expected as a result of the
relaunch of the national economy of the management of the resources allocated at European level.
The liquidity position has always remained solid thanks to the broad availability of liquid reserves. In particular, during
the 2021 financial year, the regulatory indicators - Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) -
were considerably above minimum requirements. In terms of capital, the Bank's capital and asset quality make it
possible to face the crisis in the near future with relative peace of mind.

Exemption from drafting the fourth interim report on operations 2021
With the implementation of the Shareholders' Rights Directive (Italian Legislative Decree no. 27 of 27 January 2010),
paragraph 1 of Article 154-ter (“Financial Relations”) of the Consolidated Financial Law (TUF) was amended. This
amendment establishes that the annual financial report, including the draft financial statements, the consolidated
financial statements where drafted, the management report and the declarations of the delegated administrative bodies
and the financial reporting officer, must be made public within 120 days of financial year closing. The obligation of
publication within 120 days refers explicitly to the "draft financial statements" approved by the administrative body and
no longer to the "financial statements" approved by the shareholders' meeting. Therefore, with this amendment, the
option for listed companies of postponing the approval of the financial statements up to a maximum term of 180 days
is reinstated as provided for by art. 2364 paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, which had no longer applied after the application
of Directive 2004/109/EC ( Transparency Directive). The decree also establishes that, notwithstanding art. 2429,
paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, the draft financial statements must be communicated by the directors to the board
of statutory auditors and to the independent auditors at least 15 days before the publication of the same.
With reference to the companies listed in the STAR segment, Borsa Italiana has provided for the publication - in addition
to the reports relating to the 1st and 3rd quarters, as required by paragraph 5 of article 154-ter - also of the interim
management report with reference to the 4th quarter; it also provided for the option to omit the preparation of the
report in the event that the publication of the draft financial statements is brought forward to 90 days from the end of
the reference year. This 90-day term was established by Borsa Italiana with notice no. 14924 of 8 October 2010 regarding
the "Amendments made to the Stock Market Regulations".
In light of the foregoing, the Bank has taken advantage of the option not to publish the 4th interim management report
by making the draft separate financial statements available to the shareholders and the market within 90 days from the
end of the financial year the separate and consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 accompanied by the
certification of the Financial Reporting Manager, with that of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Independent
Auditors.

A.2 – Information on the main financial statement items
The accounting standards adopted in preparing these Financial Statements at 31 December 2021 remained unchanged
with respect to those adopted in preparing the 2020 Financial Statements, with the exception:
of the change made to point “15 - Other information 6 - Methods for determining impairment losses”
specifically regarding the identification of a “significant increase” in credit risk. Specifically, starting in the current
year, the outsourcer that provides the operating system the Bank uses made an update to the rating model,
which also introduced the new definition of default set out in Article 178 of Regulation no. 575/2013 (CRR)
adopted by the Bank and consistent with the definition of impaired financial assets set out in IFRS 9. The update
to the rating model resulted in the change, from 30 June 2021, to one of the quantitative criteria established
by the Bank's updated policy to identify a "significant increase” in credit risk, exclusively as regards the staging
method defined for the loans portfolio. The new rule no longer refers to the worsening of rating classes, but it
is based on the change in the Lifetime Probability of Default in relation to the origination of the loan;
the change made to point “3 Recognition of revenue and costs” relating to the method of recognition of revenue
relating to the mandatory service of producing research in analyst coverage and financial analysis services,
exercised in relation to institutional customers which, starting from 2021, occurs at the time the research is
issued and no longer at a later point, based on the amount that the Bank has the right to invoice;
the change made to the section “Information on fair value" relating to the introduction of the criteria, previously
not included as relating to a case that was not present, relating to the valuation of investments with a lock-up
clause in UCIs managed directly by Group companies.
The accounting standards adopted as concerns classification criteria, measurement and de-recognition, as well as the
methods of recognition of costs and revenue are reported below:
1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets other than those recognised as Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortised cost. Specifically, this item includes:
- financial assets held for trading, mainly represented by debt securities, UCIs and equity instruments and the positive
value of derivative contracts held for trading (Other/Trading);
- financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value, represented by financial assets that do not meet the requirements
for measurement at amortised cost ("Hold to Collect") or at fair value through other comprehensive income (“Hold to
Collect and Sell”).
These are financial assets whose contractual terms do not exclusively envisage capital reimbursements and interest
payments on the amount of principal to be repaid (failing the "SPPI test") or that are not held within the framework of
a business model whose objective is to hold assets for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or within the
framework of a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of contractual cash flows and
through the sale of financial assets; capital instruments for which the Bank does not exercise the irrevocable option for
the measurement of these instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are also included in this
category.
- financial assets at fair value, i.e. financial assets thus defined at the time of initial recognition and where the
requirements are met. In relation to this case, an entity may irrevocably designate a financial asset as at fair value
through profit or loss at the time of recognition if, and only if, by doing so, it eliminates or significantly reduces a
valuation inconsistency.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

61
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets. In such cases, which
are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the category at fair value through profit
or loss into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets at amortised cost or Financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income). The transfer value is the fair value at the time of reclassification and
the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of reclassification. In this case, the effective interest
rate of the reclassified financial asset is determined on the basis of its fair value on the date of reclassification, and that
date is considered as the date of initial recognition for the allocation to the various stages of credit risk (stage
assignment) for the purposes of determining impairment.
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and equity instruments, on the
disbursement date for loans and on the subscription date for derivative contracts.
Upon initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised at fair value, without
considering transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument itself.
Measurement criteria
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. The
effects of the application of this measurement criteria are charged to the Income Statement.
Market prices are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments listed on an active market. In the absence of
an active market, commonly adopted estimation methods and valuation models are employed that take into account
all risk factors correlated with the instruments and that are based on market data, such as: valuation of listed instruments
with similar characteristics, discounted cash flow calculations, option price calculation models or values posted in recent
comparable transactions. For equity instruments and derivatives involving equity instruments not listed on an active
market, the cost method is used as a fair value estimate only in a residual way and limited to a few circumstances, i.e.
in the case where none of the measurement methods mentioned above are applicable (since the most recent
information available to measure fair value is insufficient), or in the presence of a wide range of possible fair value
assessments, in which the cost represents the most significant estimate.
For further information on the criteria for determining fair value, please refer to the specific "Information on fair value"
section.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.

2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
- the financial asset is held according to a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of
contractual cash flows and through sale (Hold to Collect and Sell);
- the contractual terms of the financial asset envisage, at certain dates, cash flows represented solely by payments of
principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid (passing the "SPPI test").
The item also includes equity instruments, not held for trading, for which the option of measurement at fair value
through other comprehensive income was exercised at the time of initial recognition.
Specifically, this item includes:
- debt securities that are part of a Hold to Collect and Sell business model and passed the SPPI test;
- investments that do not qualify as establishing control or joint control over or association with companies and are not
held for trading, for which the option of measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income was exercised;
- loans that are part of a Hold to Collect and Sell business model and passed the SPPI test;
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets.
In such cases, which are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the category at fair
value through other comprehensive income into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets
at amortised cost or Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The transfer value is the fair value at the time
of reclassification and the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of reclassification. In the event
of reclassification from this category to the amortised cost category, the cumulative gain (loss) recognised in the
valuation reserve is recognised as an adjustment to the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification.
Whereas in the event of reclassification in the category of fair value through profit or loss, the cumulative gain (loss)
previously recognised in the valuation reserve is reclassified from equity to the income statement (in the item "Net
trading expense”).
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and equity instruments, on the
disbursement date for loans. Upon their initial recognition, assets are measured at fair value, which generally
corresponds to the price paid. Any transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument itself are included
in the purchase cost.
Measurement criteria
Subsequent to initial recognition, Assets classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, other than equity
instruments, are measured at fair value, with impacts deriving from application of amortised cost, the effects of
impairment and any exchange rate effect recognised in the Income Statement, whereas other gains or losses arising
from a change in fair value are recognised in a specific equity reserve until the financial asset is derecognised. Upon
disposal, in whole or in part, the cumulative gain or loss in the valuation reserve is reversed to the Income Statement.
The equity instruments chosen for classification in this category are measured at fair value and the amounts recognised
as a balancing entry in equity must not be subsequently transferred to the income statement, even in the event of
disposal. The only component relating to the equity instruments in question that is recognised in the income statement
is represented by the related dividends.
Fair value is determined on the basis of the criteria already illustrated for Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss.
For further information on the criteria for determining fair value, please refer to the "Information on fair value" Section.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - both in the form of debt securities and loans - are
subject to the testing for a significant increase in credit risk (impairment) required by IFRS 9, as are Assets at amortised
cost, with the consequent recognition in the income statement of an adjustment to cover expected losses. More
specifically, on instruments classified in Stage 1 (i.e. on financial assets at the time of origination, where performing,
and on instruments for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk compared to the initial recognition
date), a 12-month expected loss is recorded at the initial recognition date and at each subsequent reporting date. On
the other hand, for instruments classified as Stage 2 (performing positions for which there has been a significant increase
in credit risk compared to the date of initial recognition) and Stage 3 (non-performing exposures), an expected loss is
recognised over the life of the financial instrument.
Vice versa, equity instruments are not subject to impairment.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.
3. Financial assets at amortised cost
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets (in particular loans and debt securities) that meet both of the following conditions:
- the financial asset is held according to a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of
contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset envisage, at certain dates, cash flows represented
solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid (passing the "SPPI test"). More
specifically, different types of loans to banks and customers and debt securities meeting the requirements set out in the
previous paragraph are included in this item.
This category also includes operating loans related to the provision of financial activities and services as established by
the Consolidated Banking Law and the Consolidated Financial Law.
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets, reclassifications to other
categories of financial assets are not permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of
financial assets. In such cases, which are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the
category at amortised cost into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income or Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The transfer value is the
fair value at the time of reclassification and the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of
reclassification. Gains and losses resulting from the difference between the amortised cost of the financial asset and its
fair value are recognised in the income statement in the event of reclassification as Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and Equity, in the specific valuation reserve, in the event of reclassification as Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income.

Loans and receivables with customers also include receivables for lease transactions relating to sub-leases of portions
of properties.
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and on the disbursement date for
loans. Upon initial recognition, assets are recorded at fair value, including transaction costs or income directly attributable
to the instrument itself.
In particular, with regard to loans, the date of disbursement normally coincides with the date of signing the agreement.
If these dates do not coincide, a commitment to disburse funds is recorded at the time of signing the agreement, which
ends on the date of disbursement of the loan. The loan is recognised on the basis of its fair value, equal to the amount
disbursed, or subscription price, including costs/income directly attributable to the individual loan and determinable from
the start of the transaction, even if settled at a later date.
Costs that, despite having the above characteristics, are reimbursed by the debtor counterparty or classified as ordinary
internal administrative costs are excluded.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, the financial assets in question are measured at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method. In these terms, the asset is recognised in the financial statements at an amount equal to its initial
recognition value, less principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation (calculated using the effective
interest rate method referred to above) of the difference between this initial amount and the amount at maturity
(typically attributable to costs/income charged directly to the individual asset). The effective interest rate is determined
by calculating the rate that equals the present value of the future cash flows of the asset, for principal and interest, to
the amount disbursed including costs/income related to the financial asset. This accounting method, which is based on
a financial approach, allows the economic effect of costs/income directly attributable to a financial asset to be distributed
over its expected residual life.
The amortised cost method is not used for assets - measured at historical cost - whose short duration makes the effect
of the application of the discounting logic negligible, for those without a defined maturity or revocable loans.
The measurement criteria are strictly related to the inclusion of the instruments in question in one of the three stages
(stages of credit risk) envisaged by IFRS 9, the last of which (Stage 3) includes non-performing financial assets and the
remaining (Stages 1 and 2) performing financial assets.
With reference to the accounting representation of the above valuation effects, impairment losses relating to this type
of asset are recognised in the Income Statement:
- upon initial recognition, for an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit loss;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where the credit risk has not significantly increased compared to initial
recognition, in relation to changes in the amount of impairment for expected losses in the following twelve months;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where the credit risk significantly increased compared to initial
recognition, in relation to the recognition of impairment for expected losses over the life of the asset as provided for in
the contract;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where - after a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
- the "significance" of that increase has since disappeared, in relation to the adjustment of cumulative impairment losses
to take account of the change from a full lifetime expected credit loss of the instrument to a twelve-month expected
credit loss.
If the financial assets in question are performing, they are measured in order to determine the impairment losses to be
recorded in the financial statements at the level of the individual credit relation (or security "tranche"), depending on
the risk parameters represented by probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD).
If, in addition to a significant increase in credit risk, there is evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is measured
as the difference between the book value of the asset - classified as "non-performing", like all other transactions with
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

65
the same counterparty - and the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate. The amount of the loss to be recognised in the Income Statement is defined on the basis of an analytical
valuation process or determined by homogeneous categories and, therefore, analytically applied to each position, and
considers, as described in detail in the chapter "Impairment losses of financial assets", forward looking information and
possible alternative recovery scenarios.
Non-performing assets include financial instruments that have been granted the status of bad loans, unlikely to pay or
past due/overdue by more than ninety days according to the rules of the Bank of Italy, consistent with IAS/IFRS and
European Supervisory regulations.
The expected cash flows take into account the expected recovery time and the estimated realisable value of any
guarantee.
The original effective interest rate of each asset remains unchanged over time even though the relationship has been
restructured, resulting in a change in the contractual interest rate and even if the relationship ceases to bear the
contractual interest for practical purposes.
If the reasons for impairment no longer apply due to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, value
recoveries are recognised in the Income Statement. The value recovery cannot exceed the amortised cost that the
financial instrument would have had in the absence of previous adjustments.
Value recoveries related to the passing of time are recognised in net interest income.
In some cases, during the life of the financial assets in question and, in particular, of receivables, the original contractual
terms can be amended by the parties to the contract. When, over the life of an instrument, the contractual clauses are
amended, it is necessary to test whether the original asset must continue to be recognised in the financial statements
or, on the contrary, whether the original instrument must be derecognised from the financial statements.
In general, changes in a financial asset lead to its derecognition and to the recognition of a new asset when they are
"substantial". The assessment of whether the change is "substantial" must be carried out based on qualitative and
quantitative considerations. In some cases it may be clear, without resorting to complex analyses, that the changes
introduced substantially modify the characteristics and/or contractual flows of a given asset while, in other cases, further
analyses (including quantitative analyses) will have to be carried out in order to appreciate their effects and test the
need to derecognise or not the asset and to recognise a new financial instrument.
Therefore, qualitative and quantitative analyses aimed at defining the "substantial" nature of the contractual changes
made to a financial asset will have to consider:
- the purposes for which the changes were made: for example, renegotiations for commercial reasons and forbearance
due to financial difficulties of the counterparty:
the former, aimed at "retaining" the customer, involve a debtor who is not in financial difficulty. These cases
include all renegotiation operations that are aimed at adjusting the cost of the debt and its duration to market
conditions.
the latter, carried out for "credit risk reasons" (forbearance measures), are attributable to the bank's attempt to
maximise the recovery of the cash flows of the original loan. As a rule, the underlying risks and benefits are not
substantially transferred after the changes and, consequently, the accounting representation that provides the
most relevant information for the reader of the financial statements (except for that set out below on the subject
of objective elements), is that made through "modification accounting" and not through "derecognition", which
implies the recognition in the income statement of the difference between the book value and the present value
of the modified cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
- the presence of specific objective elements ("triggers") that affect the characteristics and/or contractual flows of the
financial instrument (such as, for example, a change in the currency or a change in the type of risk to which one is
exposed, when correlated with equity and commodity parameters), which are deemed to entail derecognition in view
of their impact (expected to be significant) on the original contractual flows.

Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.
4 - Hedging transactions
Classification criteria
Risk hedging transactions are directed at neutralising potential losses, attributable to a determined risk, and recognisable
on a determined element or group of elements, if that specific risk should actually arise.
IFRS 9 envisaged, at the time of its introduction, the possibility of continuing to apply in full the provisions of the former
IAS 39 on hedge accounting (in the carved-out version approved by the European Commission) for each type of hedge
(both for micro hedges and for macro hedges).
Recognition criteria
Hedging derivatives, like all derivatives, are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value.
Measurement criteria
Hedging derivatives are measured at fair value. In the case of fair value hedging, the change in fair value of the hedged
element is offset with the change in fair value of the hedging instrument. This offset is recognised through the
recognition in the income statement - under item 90 "Fair value adjustments in hedge accounting" - of said value
changes, referred both to the hedged element (with regard to the changes caused by the underlying risk factor), and to
the hedging instrument. Any difference, which represents the partial ineffectiveness of the hedge, consequently
constitutes its net economic effect.
The derivative is designated as a hedging derivative if there is a formalised documentation of the relationship between
the hedged instrument and the hedging instrument and if it is effective at the time when the hedge starts and,
prospectively, throughout the time of its validity.
The effectiveness of the hedge depends on the extent to which the changes in fair value of the hedged instrument are
offset by those of the hedging instrument. Therefore, the effectiveness is determined by the comparison between the
aforesaid changes, taking into account the intent pursued by the company when the hedge was established.
If the hedge is ineffective, hedge accounting, as set out above, is stopped, the hedging derivative is reclassified among
trading instruments and the hedged financial instrument reacquires the measurement criteria that matches its
classification in the financial statements.

5 - Equity investments
Classification criteria
The item "Equity investments" includes investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled companies; as
required by IAS 28, this item also includes equity interests classified as joint ventures.
Equity interests in other companies in which the Bank does not exercise control or over which it has no significant
influence, either directly or through its subsidiaries, but which are acquired as long-term investments and not held for
the purpose of trading, are classified as "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income" as required
by IFRS 9.
Recognition criteria
Equity investments are recorded at their settlement date and at purchase - or subscription - cost, including the additional
charges.
Measurement criteria
Investments in subsidiaries are all valued at fair value while investments in associates and joint ventures are valued at
cost.
The method for determining fair value is in line with current market practices and, based on the provisions of IFRS 9,
makes use of a series of objective parameters.
The model is based on the discounting of the cash flows that emerge from the updated long-term plan of the
subsidiaries. After updating the parameters, the same is used at each production date of preparation of the financial
statements in order to determine any changes in fair value, also taking into account any further adjustments that take
into account particular market situations.
Derecognition criteria
Equity investments are derecognised when they are transferred, with the substantial transfer of all related risks and
benefits, or when the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from them expire.
Recognition criteria of income statement items
- Investments in subsidiaries measured at fair value
The changes in fair value that arise from the differences between the valuations at the end of the current year compared
to those of the previous year are recorded, in compliance with the provisions of IFRS 9, following the same criteria
envisaged for the category "Financial assets valued at fair value with through other comprehensive income".
- Investments in associates, jointly controlled companies and joint ventures valued at cost
If there is evidence that the value of an investment may have suffered an impairment, the recoverable value of the
investment is estimated, taking into account the current value of the cash flows that the investment will be able to
generate, including the final disposal value of the investment.
If the recovery value of an equity investment is not temporarily lower than its book value, the relative difference is
recognised in the income statement under item 220 "Profits/losses on equity investments".
If the reasons for impairment no longer apply due to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, value
recoveries are recognised in the income statement under the same item indicated above up to the value of previous
impairment.
6 - Property, equipment and investment property
Classification criteria
This item includes the assets for permanent use held to generate income and the property held for investment purposes.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

68
Property, equipment and investment property also include advance payments made for the purchase and revamping of
assets that are not yet part of the production process and hence not yet subject to depreciation.
Rights of use acquired through leases and relating to the use of property or equipment (for the lessees) and assets
granted under an operating lease (for the lessors) are also included.
Recognition criteria
All classes of property, plant and equipment recognised as assets are initially recorded at cost, insofar as it is
representative of their fair value. The cost includes the purchase price, non-recoverable purchase taxes and any cost
directly descending from the installation of the asset for its intended use, minus any trade discounts.
Financial expenses are recorded according to IAS 23 and, therefore, recognised as a cost in the year in which they were
incurred.
Overheads and administrative expenses are not included in the initial cost of the assets in question, unless they are
directly descended from the purchase of the asset or its installation.
Lease agreements, in accordance with IFRS 16, are accounted for on the basis of the right of use model whereby, at the
initial date, the lessee has a financial obligation to make payments due to the lessor as compensation for its right to
use the underlying asset during the lease term. The duration of the lease agreement is determined taking into account
the period of time during which the contract is enforceable; the lease agreement is considered to be no longer
enforceable when the lessee and the lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without the consent of the other
party and are at most exposed to a minimum penalty.
When the asset is made available to the lessee for use (initial recognition date), the right of use is recognised - net of
VAT and any sub-leases - as a balancing entry to the payable equal to the present value of the lease payments to be
made to the lessor.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, instrumental fixed assets and fixed investments are measured at cost minus the
accumulated depreciation and taking into account any impairment losses and/or value recoveries.
This principle has been adopted because it was deemed more appropriate than the revaluation method provided by the
reference accounting standard.
Property, equipment and investment property are depreciated each year, at rates calculated by reference to the residual
possibility of using the assets, their related useful life and realisable value, except for land (incorporated in the asset
value) and works of art, insofar as they have an indefinite life. In the case of land whose value is incorporated in the
value of the property, equipment and investment property, the relevant separation is made only for free-standing
buildings held. For assets acquired during the year, the depreciation is calculated on a daily basis starting on the date
on which the asset was first used.
Property, equipment and investment property featuring an unlimited useful life cannot be depreciated.
Subsequent expenses relating to property, plant and equipment, already recorded in the accounts, are added to the
book value of the asset when it is likely that the future economic benefits exceed the previously established ordinary
performance of the asset.
At the end of each reporting period, an impairment test is carried out on the assets. More specifically, a comparison is
made between the book value of the asset (purchase cost less accumulated depreciation) and its recoverable amount,
equal to the greater of the fair value, minus any costs to sell, and the related value of use of the asset, meaning the
present value of the future cash flows expected from the asset. Adjustments are recorded in the income statement
under item 180 "Depreciation and net impairment losses on property, equipment and investment property". If the
reasons that led to the recognition of the loss cease to apply, a value recovery is recorded that may not exceed the
value that the asset would have had minus the depreciation calculated in the absence of previous impairment losses.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

69
Property, equipment and investment property consisting of rights of use acquired under a lease, recorded in accordance
with IFRS 16, are measured using the cost model and depreciated over the lease term and periodically subjected to
impairment testing.
Derecognition criteria
The book value of property, equipment and investment property must be derecognised on its disposal, or when no
future economic benefit is expected from its use.
The right of use deriving from lease agreements is eliminated from the Financial Statements at the end of the term of
the lease agreement, which may be modified with respect to the initial recognition of the right of use, to take into
account the exercise of any early extinction, renewal or purchase options not considered at the time of recognition.
7 - Intangible assets
Classification criteria
Intangible assets include long-term application software. The positive difference between the value of the assets and
liabilities acquired following a business combination and the related purchase price of the combined business entity is
recorded under intangible assets as goodwill.
Recognition criteria
Intangible assets are recorded at their purchase cost. The purchase cost may be adjusted for ancillary charges. The costs
incurred for the purchase of intangible assets are recognised only if they are identifiable, their cost can be measured
reliably, they can be controlled and they are able to generate future economic benefits. Otherwise, the cost of the
intangible asset is recorded in the income statement in the year in which it was incurred.
In view of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, the Bank decided not to apply the standard to any operating leases on
intangible assets. Therefore, Intangible assets do not include rights of use acquired under operating leases (as lessee)
and relating to the use of an intangible asset.
Measurement and recognition criteria of income statement items
Following their initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less the accumulated amortisation and any
impairment losses. The "at cost" measurement method was deemed more appropriate than the "revaluation" method.
The cost of intangible assets is amortised, minus the recoverable amount, on the basis of their estimated useful life. For
assets acquired during the year, the amortisation is calculated on a daily basis starting on the date on which the asset
was first used. In the case of assets transferred and/or disposed of during the year, the amortisation is calculated on a
daily basis until the date of transfer and/or disposal.
If the useful life of the fixed asset cannot be established and appears to be indefinite (goodwill), the asset is not
amortised; however it is periodically tested for impairment and, in any case, each time objective evidence is found to
this effect its initial recognition value may have to be changed. The performance of this test entails the prior allocation
of goodwill to a cash generating unit whose value can be reliably estimated. Goodwill impairment is calculated as the
difference between its book value and the estimated recoverable amount, determined by reference to the cash
generating unit to which the goodwill in question has been allocated. Any impairment calculated as the difference
between the book value of the fixed asset and its recoverable amount is recorded in the income statement under item
"240 Goodwill impairment losses". Goodwill impairment may not be reversed in future accounting periods as required
by IAS 36.
Regarding intangible assets other than goodwill, if there is evidence of impairment, an estimate is made each year of
the recoverable amount of the assets. The amount of the loss, recorded in the income statement, is equal to the
difference between the book value of the asset and its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of a specific
intangible asset cannot be determined, then the asset must be assigned to the smallest independent cash generating

70
unit (CGU), and this is referred to in estimating the recoverable value and comparing it with the book value, to establish
the possible impairment loss.
Derecognition criteria
Intangible assets are derecognised when they are sold or when no future economic benefits are expected from their
use.
9 - Current and deferred tax
Current and deferred income taxes, calculated in accordance with the applicable domestic regulations, are recorded in
the income statement, except in the case of items directly charged or credited to equity. Tax provisions are calculated
on a prudential basis and also include the risk provisions set aside in connection with the ongoing disputes.
In 2004, the Bank and its Italian-based subsidiaries joined the "domestic consolidated tax system", pursuant to Article
117/129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act. The option was renewed in June 2019 for the 2019-2021 period.
By virtue of this option, the Group companies determine their proportion of the taxes payable and the corresponding
tax income (taxable income or tax loss) is transferred to the Parent Company, relating to which a single taxable income
or loss is reported (resulting from the algebraic sum of its own and its participating subsidiaries' incomes/losses) and,
consequently, a single income tax debit/credit of the company is determined.
Deferred taxation is calculated based on the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book value of the
assets and liabilities and their tax value, resulting in future taxable amounts or tax deductions. For this purpose,
"temporary taxable differences" means those that, in the future, will determine taxable amounts, while "temporary
deductible differences" those that, in the future, will determine deductible amounts. Deferred tax assets are recorded in
the financial statements insofar as they are likely to be recovered, based on the capability of the Bank, and of the other
Group companies belonging to the "domestic consolidated tax system", to generate taxable income, in the future, on a
regular basis.
Deferred taxation is calculated based on the applicable rates, with respect to the temporary taxable differences, with
respect to which there is the likelihood of effectively incurring taxes, and the temporary deductible differences, with
respect to which there is the reasonable certainty of recovering tax money back.
Deferred tax liabilities are calculated taking into account the rates expected when payment falls due.
If the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income statement items, the balancing entry is represented by income
tax.
When deferred tax assets and liabilities concern transactions recorded in equity, without affecting the income statement,
the directly balancing entry is recorded in equity, in the specific reserves, where provided (Valuation reserves).
Current tax assets/liabilities related to income tax for the year are recognised net of any tax paid in advance and any
withholding tax incurred.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the statement of financial position, respectively under
"Tax assets" and "Tax liabilities".
10 - Provisions for risks and charges
Provisions for risks and charges for commitments and guarantees given
The sub-item of provisions for risks and charges under examination includes the provisions for credit risk recognised for
commitments to lend funds and guarantees given that fall within the scope of application of the rules on impairment in
accordance with IFRS 9. For these cases, in principle, the same methods of allocation between the three stages of credit
risk and calculation of the expected loss shown with reference to financial assets at amortised cost or at fair value
through other comprehensive income, are adopted.
Other provisions for risks and charges
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
71
The other provisions for risks and charges include the allocations relating to legal obligations or connected with
employment agreements or with disputes, including those of a tax-related nature, originated from a past event for
which it is likely that economic resources will be expended to comply with said obligations, provided that a reliable
estimate of the related amount can be made.
If the time element is significant (expected outlay beyond 12 months), the allocations are discounted to the present
with reference to current market rates. The allocation and any subsequent increases in the provisions due to the time
factor are recognised in the income statement.
The allocated provisions are subject to periodic reviews and when it becomes unlikely that possible costs may be
incurred, the allocations are fully or partly reversed to the benefit of the income statement.
11. Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Classification criteria
Due to banks, Due to customers and Securities issued include the various forms of interbank and customer deposits,
repurchase agreements with the obligation to repurchase and deposits collected through bonds and other funding
instruments issued, net of any amounts repurchased.
This item also includes the payables recorded by the company as a lessee under leases.
Recognition criteria
The initial recognition of these financial liabilities occurs on the date the contract is signed, which normally coincides
with the date of receipt of the sums collected or the date of issue of the debt securities.
Initial recognition is carried out based on the fair value of the liabilities, generally equal to the amount received or the
issue price, plus any additional costs/income directly attributable to the individual funding or issue transaction. Internal
administrative costs are excluded.
With regard to lease payables, the lessee, on the commencement date of the contract, recognises the payable equal to
the present value of the payments due for the entire duration of the contract, discounted using marginal lending rates
identified by the Group equal to the interest rate that Banca Finnat should pay for a loan, with similar duration and
guarantees, necessary to obtain an asset whose value is equal to the asset consisting of the right of use in a similar
economic environment.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate
method.
Exceptions are short-term liabilities, for which the time factor is negligible, which remain recorded at the value received.
Lease payables are updated, as indicated by IFRS 16, in the presence of contractual changes due to: change in the
duration of the lease, change in the guaranteed residual value, change in the exercise of the purchase option or
recalculation of fixed or variable payments.
Derecognition criteria
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they expire or are discharged. Derecognition takes place also where bonds
previously issued are repurchased. The difference between the book value of liabilities and the amount paid to purchase
them is posted in the Income Statement.
The replacement on the market of treasury shares after they have been repurchased is considered tantamount to a new
issue, with the entry of the new placement price.
12. Financial liabilities held for trading
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
72
Classification criteria
This item includes financial liabilities, regardless of their type, classified in the trading portfolio.
In particular, this category of liabilities includes trading derivatives with a negative fair value as well as embedded
derivatives with a negative fair value that are present in complex contracts - where the primary contract is a financial
liability - but not strictly related to them. Liabilities that originate from uncovered short positions generated by securities
trading are also included.
Recognition criteria
These liabilities are recognised at the subscription or issue date at a value equal to the fair value of the instrument,
without considering any directly attributable transaction cost or income.
Measurement criteria
All trading liabilities are measured at fair value with the result of the measurement recognised in the income statement.
Derecognition criteria
Financial liabilities held for trading are derecognised from the financial statements when the contractual rights to the
corresponding cash flows expire or when the financial liability is sold, substantially transferring all related risks and
benefits. The resulting difference is recorded in the income statement.
14 - Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in Euros on initial recognition, applying the spot exchange rate in force at the
date of the transaction.
When preparing the financial statements, items in foreign currencies are recorded as follows:
• monetary instruments are recorded at the spot exchange rate on the date of preparation of the financial
statements, with foreign exchange differences recorded in the income statement under the item "Net
trading expense";
• non-monetary instruments are measured at historical cost, at the exchange rate in force at the time of the
original transaction;
• non-monetary instruments measured at fair value are recorded at the spot exchange rate in force at the
time of preparation of the financial statements.
Exchange rate differences relating to non-monetary items are recorded applying the accounting standards used for the
gains and losses relating to the original instruments.
15 - Other information
1. Treasury shares
Treasury shares held are stated in the financial statements at cost, adjusting equity by a corresponding amount. No
gains or losses are recorded in the income statement in connection with the purchase, sale, issue and derecognition of
instruments that represent the Bank's capital. The consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
Any marginal cost incurred for the repurchase of treasury shares is recorded as a decrease in equity, as long as it is
directly related to the capital transaction that otherwise would not have been incurred.
2. Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits are determined as the Bank's present obligation towards its employees, in terms of the
related termination indemnity. The amount of this obligation on the date of the financial statements is estimated using
actuarial methods and time-discounted using the "Projected Unit Credit Method", whereby each period of service is
viewed as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and each unit is measured separately to build up the
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

73
final obligation. Once the final obligation is obtained, the Bank needs to calculate its present value, even if part of the
obligation falls in the twelve-month period after the reporting period. Actuarial profits/losses deriving from defined
benefit plans are stated in Equity under Valuation reserves. All other components of the provisions for post-employment
benefits accrued during the year are posted in the income statement under item 160. Administrative expenses: a)
personnel expenses in "Post-employment benefits", for the amounts paid to the INPS Treasury; "payments to external
pension funds: defined contribution" for payments made to Supplementary Retirement Plans and "provisions for post-
employment benefits" for the adjustment of the provisions present in the company.
3. Recognition of costs and revenue
Revenue
Revenue is gross flows of economic benefits deriving from the ordinary activity of the company, when these flows
determine increases in equity other than increases deriving from the contribution of shareholders. Revenue is recognised
in the financial statements on an accruals basis.
In particular, fee and commission income and other income from services are recognised in the financial statements
only if all the following criteria are met:
1) the contract with a customer is identified;
2) performance obligations are identified;
3) the transaction price is determined;
4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations;
5) revenue is recognised when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue configured as variable consideration is recognised in the income statement if it can be reliably estimated and
only if it is highly probable that this consideration must not be reversed from the income statement in future periods in
whole or in a significant part.
In the event of a strong prevalence of uncertainty factors related to the nature of the consideration, it will be recognised
only when this uncertainty is resolved. Factors that could increase the likelihood and extent of the downward adjustment
of revenue include, among other things, the following:
a. the amount of the consideration is very sensitive to factors beyond the control of the entity (e.g.:
market volatility);
b. experience with the type of contract is limited;
c. it is usual to offer a wide range of price concessions or to change the terms and conditions of payment
of similar contracts under similar circumstances;
d. the contract has a large number and a wide range of possible amounts of remuneration.
The consideration for the contract, the collection of which must be probable, is allocated to the individual obligations
arising from the contract. The allocation must be based on the selling prices that would have been applied in a transaction
involving the individual contractual commitment (standalone selling price). The best indication of the stand-alone selling
price is the price of the good or service that can be observed when the Bank sells the good or service separately in
similar circumstances and to similar customers. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it must be
estimated.
In the event that the customer obtains a discount for the purchase of a bundle of goods or services, the discount must
be allocated between all the performance obligations provided for in the contract. The discount can be attributed to one
or more obligations if all of the following criteria are met:
a. the entity normally sells separately each distinct good or service;
b. the entity normally also sells separately the bundle(s) of some of the distinct goods or services, giving a discount
on the standalone selling prices of the goods or services of each bundle, and the discount is substantially the same
discount provided for in the contract.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

74
Revenue is recognised over time when the goods or services have been transferred (satisfaction of performance
obligations); an asset is transferred when the customer has control of the asset, i.e. when it can use the goods or service
directly and obtain all the benefits. Depending on the timing of the satisfaction of the performance obligations, the
revenue can be recognised:
when control is passed at a certain point in time; factors that may indicate the point in time at which control
passes include:
o the entity has a present right to payment for the asset;
o the customer has legal title to the asset;
o the entity has transferred physical possession of the asset;
o the customer has the significant risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset;
o the customer has accepted the asset.
or, alternatively, over the time provided for the satisfaction of the performance obligations, if one of the
following criteria is met:
o the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided by the entity as the
entity performs;
o the entity's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls or from which it can
derive all the benefits (potential cash flows);
o the entity's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that considers the effective yield of the asset.
The positive economic components accrued on financial liabilities are recognised under the item “Interest and similar
income”.
Default interest is recorded under the item “Interest and similar income”, when it is actually collected.
Dividends are recorded in the accounts in accordance with the shareholders' right to receive payment.
Revenue is recognised over time when the goods or services have been transferred (satisfaction of performance
obligations): an asset is transferred when the customer has control of the asset, i.e. when it can use the goods or service
directly and obtain all the benefits.
Disclosure required by IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers).
Nature of the services
A description of the main businesses from which the Bank generates its revenue from contracts with customers,
distinguished by business segment, is provided below.
Private banking and Banking Services
The main services provided to the private customers of the Bank by the private bankers of the Sales Department include
the revenue deriving from contracts for individual portfolio management, trading, trading with advisory services,
placement, and all agreements associated with a current account (cash services, payments, money management, debit
cards, credit card loans, home banking, etc.) All performance obligations are defined by formalised contracts. If the
contracts include the performance of distinct services, the revenue pertaining thereto is:
• recorded separately on the basis of standalone sale prices defined contractually (as in the case of fees for
services of individual portfolio management, trading and order execution on financial instruments, placement
and of fees for the transmission of documents, reports and communications);
• recorded on the basis of the mandatory service performed if the services cannot be separated within the
context of the contract because one constitutes the input of the other (as in the case of the combination of the
advisory and securities custody services) or because they are interdependent, not separable and not sold
individually (as in the case of banking services associated with a current account).
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
75
Depending on the way the services are performed, revenue is recorded accurately (e.g. in the case of fees for trading,
collection and payment and subscription) or, in case of services performed over time, based on the value that the
services completed until the considered date have for the customer, corresponding to the amount provided by the
contract.
Individual portfolio management contracts provide for the debiting (with annual or less than annual frequency) of
variable overperformance fees with respect to reference parameters. The determination of these fees depends on the
result achieved at the end of the reference period, which cannot be estimated on the occasion of the quarterly
measurements, since it is not highly probable that when, subsequently, the uncertainty associated with the variable
consideration is resolved, there will be no significant downwards adjustment of the amount of the recorded cumulated
revenue; these fees are affected by external factors with respect to the management activity of the bank (such as
market volatility and the performance of the reference parameter).
Institutional customers
The main services provided by the Institutional Customers Organisational Unit of the Bank include: the asset management
services performed on appointment by UCIs, the management and trading services targeted to corporate customers and
to qualified counterparties, the services targeted to listed issuers (specialist operator services, qualified operator services,
analyst coverage, centralised management, etc.).
All performance obligations are defined by formalised contracts. Management and trading services are recognised
according to the same rules envisaged for private customers.
Services directed to listed issuers are carried out over time, because customers benefit from the activity carried out
continuously and they are consequently recognised based on the value for customers of the services transferred until
the date considered on the basis of the amount the Bank is entitled to receive (with the exception of the service of
financial analysis and the production of research as part of the analyst coverage service, whose revenue is recognised
at the date of issue of the research).
Centralised management services can be sold on the basis of individual modules or as packages; in this case, the value
of the service provided consists of the single fee envisaged for the different services included in the package and any
discount with respect to the acquisition of the individual services is allocated proportionately among the different
mandatory services performed. If the contracts include services whose revenue is recognised exactly at the time of
execution, the portion referred to these services is recorded at the time of performance or, if the services were not
performed within the reference period of the contract, at its periodic expiration.
Advisory and Corporate Finance
"Advisory services on financial structure" rendered to corporate customers by the Advisory & Corporate Finance
Organisational Unit to provide assistance to customers in major corporate finance matters (mergers & acquisitions,
listings and IPOs, company appraisals, industrial and financial restructuring, project financing, strategic consultancy), are
defined by formalised contracts. Depending on the type of assistance provided, the contract may entail the performance
of different activities, which, however, are necessary inputs for the achievement of the objective provided for by the
contract and, therefore, are inseparable and included in a single mandatory service. This service is considered completed
over time regardless of the envisaged invoicing timelines because: the customer benefits from the assistance service
rendered by the Bank on a continuous basis; performance of the activity does not present an alternative use for the
Bank, being carried out exclusively for the Customer according to his/her specific characteristics and requirements; any
adaptation of the activities performed for another use is subject to practical limitations because the specifications of the
activities carried out are unique for that Customer; throughout the duration of the agreement, the Bank is entitled to
require payment of the service completed up to the date considered even if the contract is terminated by the Customer
for reasons other than the Bank's failure to perform. However, if the assistance contract requires issuing a declaration
of appropriateness for the purposes of listing, the connected fees are recognised exactly, as the Customer receives the
benefits deriving from fulfilling the obligation to obtain listing on the market only on the issue date.

Any success or performance fees are instead recognised only in case of formalisation of the transactions and when the
conditions underlying their ascertainment are met; these are variable fees which the Bank cannot determine in a highly
probable manner before the "resolution of the uncertainty" associated with the fees themselves, being conditioned by
factors on which the Bank has no control (such as actions performed by third parties: customers, investors or lenders).
Quantitative information is provided:
in part B - Information on the Statement of financial position in section 4 - Financial assets valued at amortised
cost, quantitative information is provided regarding assets/liabilities from contracts with customers not
debited in the current accounts based on a breakdown by type of service.
in part C - Information on the income statement in section 2 - Commissions, quantitative information is
provided regarding the revenue from contracts with customers based on a breakdown by type of service.
in part L of the Consolidated Financial Statements - Segment information provides quantitative information
relating to the revenue from contracts with customers, broken down by Group business segments
represented on the basis of a breakdown by type of service and a breakdown by assessment method.
Costs
Costs are recognised when they are incurred in compliance with the criterion of correlation between costs and revenue
that derive directly and jointly from the same transactions or events. Costs (including impairment losses) that cannot be
related to revenue are immediately recognised in the Income Statement.
Costs directly attributable to financial instruments at amortised cost, determinable from the start, regardless of the
moment when they are paid, are included in the Income Statement by applying the effective interest rate.
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that considers the effective yield of the asset.
Negative income components accrued on financial assets are recognised in the item “Interest and similar expense”, an
item that also includes interest expense on lease payables (while Interest and similar income includes interest from
subleases).
Rents payable for property leases, company vehicles and other assets falling within the scope of IFRS 16 are not
recognised under Administrative expenses (as was the case under the previous IAS 17); against the recognition of the
rights of use deriving from lease agreements, impairment losses are recorded due to the depreciation of the right of
use calculated on a straight-line basis according to the duration of the contract or the useful life of the right itself, while,
against the recognition of the payable for the fees due for the rights of use, accrued interest expense is recorded.
Administrative expenses (Personnel expenses and Other administrative expenses) include short-term lease payments
and low-value lease payments as well as variable payments for lease payments not included in the valuation of lease
payables and the VAT component, if non-deductible.
"Sundry expenses" also include the depreciation of leasehold improvements acquired through leases classified as "Other
assets".
4. Classification of financial assets
The classification of financial assets in the three categories envisaged by IFRS 9 depends both on the business model
with which the financial instruments are managed and on the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of the financial
assets (or SPPI Test). The combination of these two elements results in the classification of financial assets as follows:
- Financial assets at amortised cost: assets that pass the SPPI test and fall within the Held to Collect (HTC) business
model;
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): assets that pass the SPPI test and
fall within the Held to Collect and Sell (HTCS) business model;
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): this is a residual category that includes financial
instruments that cannot be classified in the previous categories based on the results of the business model test
or the test on the characteristics of the contractual flows (failing the SPPI test).

SPPI test
The Standard requires financial assets to be classified also on the basis of the characteristics of the contractual cash
flows. The SPPI test requires the determination of whether the contractual cash flows consist of Solely Payments of
Principal and Interest on the principal amount outstanding) (IFRS 9 - B4.1.7).
Contractual cash flows may be consistent with the definition of a "basic lending arrangement" even if the credit risk will
be offset. Moreover, the interest rate can also include an additional fee that takes into account other risks such as
liquidity risk or administrative costs. The possibility of obtaining a profit margin is also consistent with the definition of
"basic lending arrangement" (IFRS 9 - B4.1.7A).
Contractual features that introduce an exposure to risks or volatility unrelated to "basic lending arrangements", such as
exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not meet the definition of Solely Payments of Principal
and Interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Therefore, the SPPI test is aimed at identifying all the contractual characteristics that may show payments other than
those relating to the principal and interest accrued on the principal amount outstanding.
Only if the test is passed can the instrument be accounted for, depending on the business model identified, at amortised
cost or at fair value through OCI.
The test will only be necessary if the adopted business model is "Collect" or "Collect and Sell". Conversely, if the
instrument is managed according to the residual business model, the instrument will be accounted for at fair value
regardless of the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
Business Model
The business model represents the way in which the Bank manages its financial assets, i.e. with which it intends to
realise the cash flows of debt instruments. It reflects the way in which groups of financial assets are collectively managed
to pursue a specific business objective and does not depend on management's intentions with respect to a single
instrument but is set at a higher level of aggregation.
The definition of the Bank's business model takes into consideration all the useful elements that emerge both from the
strategic objectives defined by the top management and from elements relating to the organisation structure of the
structures in charge of the management of assets and the methods for defining the budget and evaluating their
performance. The method of management is defined by the top management through the appropriate involvement of
the business structures. The business model does not depend on the intentions of the management with respect to a
single instrument, but rather refers to the way in which homogeneous portfolios are managed in order to achieve a
given objective.
The business model is defined on the basis of several elements, such as (IFRS 9 - B4.1.2B):
· How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are
assessed and reported to the entity's key executives;
· The risks that affect the performance of the business model and the ways those risks are managed;
. How managers of the business are remunerated - e.g. whether the remuneration is based on the fair value of
the assets managed or on the cash flows collected.
The drivers used to assess the performance of the various business models identified and the type of reporting produced
are elements to be considered for the correct attribution of the business model. In particular, performance and reporting
could be based on information on fair value or interest received, depending on the purpose for which the assets are
held.
Adequate monitoring, escalation and reporting is essential to ensure proper management of risks that may affect
portfolio performance.

The possible business models set out in the Standard are as follows:
“Hold to collect”: requires the realisation of contractually envisaged cash flows. This business model is
attributable to assets that will presumably be held until their natural maturity (IFRS 9 - B4.1.2C).
“Collect and Sell”: envisages the realisation of cash flows as provided for in the contract or through the
sale of the instrument. This business model is attributable to assets that may be held to maturity, but also
sold (IFRS 9 – B4.1.4).
“Sell”: this model is directed at realising cash flows by selling the instrument. This business model is
attributable to assets managed with the objective of realising cash flows through sale - known as "trading"
- (IFRS 9 – B4.1.5).
The measurement of the business model to be attributed to the portfolios is carried out on the basis of the scenarios
that could reasonably occur (IFRS 9 B4.1.2A), considering all relevant and objective information available at the
measurement date.
In the event that the cash flows are realised in a way that is different from initial expectations considered in the definition
of the business model, this realisation will not:
change the classification of the remaining assets held in that business model;
give rise to a prior-period error in the entity's financial statements.
However, information on how the cash flows of the target portfolio were realised in the past, together with other
relevant information, will necessarily have to be taken into account prospectively when classifying the subsequent
purchase/recognition of a new asset in the financial statements. The business model must be attributed at the level of
the portfolio, sub-portfolio or individual instrument, where these best reflect the way assets are managed (IFRS 9 -
B4.1.2).
5. Methods for determining amortised cost
The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is in general the amount at which the financial asset or
financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal reimbursements, 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 impairment loss.
The effective interest rate is the rate that equalises the present value of future contractual cash payments or receipts
until the expiry or the following recalculation date of the price to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. In order to calculate the present value, the effective interest rate is applied to the flow of future receipts
or payments estimated during the useful life of the financial asset or liability - or a shorter period in the presence of
certain conditions (for example, the review of market rates).
If it is not possible to estimate reliably the cash flows or the expected life, the Bank uses the expected contractual cash
flows for the entire period of validity of the contract.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the amortised cost allows to allocate revenue and costs deducted from or added to
the instruments during its expected life through amortisation. The method of determination of the amortised cost
depends on whether the measured financial assets/liabilities have a fixed or variable rate.
For fixed-rate instruments, future cash flows are quantified based on the interest rate known during the life of the loan.
For variable-rate financial assets/liabilities, whose variability is not known a priori (because, for example, they are linked
to an index), cash flows are determined by maintaining constant the last variable rate recorded. At each date of review
of the rate, the repayment plan and the effective interest rate are recalculated over the entire useful life of the
instrument, i.e. until the date of expiry.
Measurement at amortised cost is carried out for financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost (loans and receivables
with/due to banks and loans and receivables with/due to customers) and for financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income. For the latter, the amortised cost is calculated for the sole purpose of recognising in the income
statement the interest based on the effective interest rate; the difference between the fair value and the amortised
cost is recorded in a specific equity reserve.

6. Methods for determining impairment losses
IFRS 9 envisages a model for determining prospectively impairment losses, which requires the immediate recognition
of losses on receivables even if only expected, contrary to IAS 39, which requires, for their recognition, the examination
of past events and current conditions.
At the end of each reporting period, in accordance with IFRS 9, financial assets other than those at fair value through
profit or loss are measured to determine whether there is any evidence that the book value of the assets may not be
fully recoverable. A similar analysis is also carried out for commitments to lend funds and guarantees given that fall
within the scope of impairment pursuant to IFRS 9.
In the event that such evidence exists (known as "impairment evidence"), the financial assets in question - consistently,
where existing, with all the remaining assets pertaining to the same counterparty - are considered impaired and are
included in stage 3. Against these exposures, represented by financial assets classified - in accordance with the
provisions of Bank of Italy's Circular no. 262/2005 - in the categories of bad loans, unlikely to pay and past due by more
than ninety days, impairment losses equal to the full lifetime expected credit loss must be recognised.
For financial assets for which there is no evidence of impairment (performing financial instruments), it is necessary,
instead, to check whether there are indicators such that the credit risk of the individual transaction is significantly
increased compared to the time of initial recognition. The consequences of this test from the point of view of
classification (or, more properly, staging) and measurement, are as follows:
- where such indicators exist, the financial asset is included in stage 2. In this case, the measurement, in
accordance with the international accounting standards and even in the absence of an evident impairment,
envisages the recognition of impairment losses equal to the full lifetime expected credit loss of the financial
instrument. These adjustments are reviewed at the end of each subsequent reporting period both to periodically
check their consistency with the constantly updated loss estimates and to take into account - in the event that
the indicators of "significantly increased" credit risk no longer exist - the changed forecast period for calculating
the expected loss;
- where such indicators do not exist, the financial asset is included in stage 1. In this case, the measurement, in
accordance with the international accounting standards and even in the absence of an evident impairment,
envisages the recognition of 12-month expected credit losses for the specific financial instrument. These
adjustments are reviewed at the end of each subsequent reporting period both to periodically check their
consistency with the constantly updated loss estimates and to take into account - in the event that the indicators
of "significantly increased" credit risk arise - the changed forecast period for calculating the expected loss;
With regard to the measurement of financial assets and, in particular, the identification of the "significant increase" in
credit risk (a necessary and sufficient condition for the classification of the asset being measured in stage 2), the
elements that - pursuant to the standard and its operational breakdown carried out by the Bank - constitute the main
determinants to be taken into consideration are as follows:

its value at the date of origin;
c) exposures with a past due date of more than 30 days (even partial) recognised at the report date in the monthly
survey (or in the previous 5 monthly surveys) regardless of the counterparty and without tolerance thresholds;
d) on-demand loans with both of the following irregular trends:
1) presence of operating tension: average percentage of use of the credit line granted, calculated over the
last 180 days, of more than 80%;
2) absence of changes in assets in the last 180 days.
Qualitative criteria:
a) forborne performing exposures in relation to a financial difficulty of the debtor;
b) exposures with irregular trends monitored by the Bank's Credit Committee;
c) exposures to counterparties for which prejudicial information has been acquired. This requirement is to be
considered valid also for prejudicial information relating to the guarantors.
A financial asset is considered non-performing and allocated to stage 3 if one or more events that have a negative effect
on expected cash flows occurred. In particular, the observable data relating to the following events constitute evidence
of impairment of the financial asset:
- significant financial difficulties of the debtor (also based on the financial statement analysis such as, for
example, negative changes in the debt ratio or the capacity to cover financial expenses);
- breach of contractual clauses (such as a default or past-due event of more than 90 days);
- classification in category "D - Defaulted" within the CSE outsourcing rating model;
- a lender having granted a concession to the debtor - for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor's
financial difficulty - that the lender would not otherwise consider;
- disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
- purchase or issue of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
81
- likelihood that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or be subject to another financial reorganisation procedure.
A performing financial asset at the time of initial recognition and for which one or more of the above events occur must
be considered non-performing and placed in stage 3; the allocation in this bucket envisages that:
- the allowance for doubtful receivables is determined as an amount equal to full lifetime expected credit losses
of the financial asset;
- interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost i.e. gross book value less the allowance for doubtful
receivables;
- the time value is determined, and the expected date of collection is estimated.
For these financial assets, the method for determining the loss is calculated in accordance with IFRS 9 and in line with
the provisions of the credit regulations.
Once the allocation of exposures to the various stages of credit risk has been defined, the determination of expected
credit losses (ECL) is carried out, at the level of individual transactions or security tranche, starting from the
IRB/management approach, based on the parameters of Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and
Exposure at Default (EAD), on which appropriate corrective action is taken to ensure compliance with the requirements
of IFRS 9.
The determination of the values and calculation methods are detailed in the appropriate Bank Policy.
7. Write-offs
With regard to non-performing loans, it is noted that the gross book value must be reduced if there are no longer
reasonable expectations of recovering this financial asset in its entirety or in part. The “write-off” may occur before legal
actions for the recovery of the financial asset have ended and does not necessarily involve the waiver of the legal right
to recover the receivable by the bank.
The Bank resorts to the cancellation - in whole or in part - of uncollectable financial assets and proceeds to the
consequent write-off of the residual value not yet adjusted in the following cases:
sale of financial assets;
partial or complete waiver of the receivable claimed following initiatives deriving from specific agreements
concluded between the Bank and its customers/debtors;
irrecoverability of the receivable when, following the actions taken by the Bank, the exposure is not recoverable
from certain and precise elements (for example: when in the context of an insolvency procedure it is established
that the unsecured exposures will not be repaid; when the debtor is untraceable or is destitute; when it is
impossible to initiate actions to recover receivables);
when, without waiving the credit, there are reasonable elements to indicate that the receivable is not
recoverable and the possibilities of recovery are very marginal. In this case, the write-off can only affect the
portion of credit covered by provisions.
8.Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
Acquired or originated impaired financial assets (Purchased Originated Credit Impaired - “POCI”) are credit exposures
that are non-performing upon initial recognition.
These exposures may arise both from the purchase, from third parties, of non-performing credit exposures and from the
restructuring of non-performing exposures that have led to the disbursement of new finance that is significant in absolute
or relative terms in proportion to the amount of the original exposure.
These financial instruments follow the same initial classification rules as other financial assets, to be carried out on the
basis, on the one hand, of the contractual characteristics of the related cash flows (SPPI Test) and, on the other, of the
management intent (business model) for which the instruments in question are held. In the event that the financial
instruments in question, based on the combined effect of the two drivers mentioned above, fall into the categories
valued at amortised cost or at fair value with an through other comprehensive income, they must be identified, pursuant
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
82
to IFRS 9, as “Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired Assets” (“POCI”). In case of failure of the SPPI Test, the financial
instruments must be recognised at FVTPL.
The "acquired or originated impaired financial assets" are conventionally classified initially as part of Stage 3 since the
expected credit loss must always be calculated considering a time horizon equal to the residual duration. If, following
an improvement in the creditworthiness of the counterpart after initial recognition, the assets are found to be
"performing", they can be reclassified as part of Stage 2.
In line with the criteria established by the Policy currently in force, the Bank defines the application choices regarding
Originated Credit Impaired Assets - POCI, as follows:
loans granted to customers already designated by the Bank as having a high credit risk profile ("non-performing
assets").
The Bank believes that the designation "POCI" only applies where the new loan disbursed exceeds 30% of the
existing exposure and the economic conditions (interest) are significantly worse than those in place. In other
words, these are cases in which the new credit exposure is the result of the derecognition of a previous credit
relationship to which substantial contractual changes have been made.
loans granted to new customers with a high credit risk profile.
In cases of loans granted to new customers with a high credit risk profile ("non-performing assets"), the issue
of classification is closely related to whether or not the SPPI test is passed. If the SPPI test is passed, the
financial asset will be valued at amortised cost or fair value with through other comprehensive income based
on the business model adopted and will be considered a POCI.
At 31 December 2021, there are no acquired or originated impaired financial assets in the Bank's portfolio.
9. Assets/Liabilities at fair value
The Bank did not use the fair value option referred to in IFRS 9: therefore, the relevant asset and liability items in the
statement of financial position and income statement are not shown in the financial statements as they are not
measured.

A.3 – Information on transfers between portfolios of financial assets
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets. However, such cases
are expected to be highly infrequent.
A.3.1 - A.3.2 - A.3.3 - No transfers were made between portfolios of financial assets during the year due to a change in
the business model.
A.4 Information on fair value
A.4.1 - Fair value levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used
A.4.2 - Processes and sensitivity of evaluations
The techniques, valuation processes of the financial instruments and the methods for determining the fair value used
by the Bank are shown below.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on the prices acquired by the financial markets, in the case
of instruments listed on active markets (Level 1), or on internal valuation models, in the case of all other financial
instruments.
If the instrument is not listed on an active market, or if there is no regularly functioning market, i.e. the market does
not feature a sufficient and ongoing number of transactions, bid-ask spread and a volatility that is not sufficiently curbed,
the fair value of the financial instruments is generally determined based on the use of valuation techniques the purpose
of which is to establish the price of a hypothetical independent transaction, motivated by normal market consideration,
at the date of valuation.
Regarding the valuation techniques, the following are taken into account:
if available, the prices of recent transactions involving similar instruments, suitably adjusted to reflect the
changed market conditions and the technical differences between the valued instrument and the instrument
selected as similar in nature (comparable approach);
valuation models widely used by the financial community, which have proved over the years capable of
producing reliable estimates of prices, with respect to the current market conditions (Mark-to-Model).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 instruments include, as a general indication:
stocks and bonds listed on active markets. The principal 'price source' of securities listed on regulated markets
is the relevant stock exchange, and generally corresponds to the price published by the regulated market on
which the security is negotiated. For financial instruments listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana),
the value is determined using the posted price.
UCIs with official prices expressed by an active market; open-ended UCIs (including ETFs) for which a price
listed on an active market is available at the measurement date;
foreign exchange spot transactions;
derivatives for which prices are available on an active market (e.g., futures and options).
Lacking prices on an active market, the fair value of financial instruments is calculated according to the "comparable
approach" (Level 2), based on the use of valuation models making use of parameters that can be directly observed on
the market. In this case, the valuation is not based on the prices of the actual financial instruments being valued, but
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
84
on prices or credit spreads taken from the official listings of substantially similar instruments, in terms of risk-yield
factors, using a certain calculation method (pricing model). This approach translates into the search for transactions on
the active markets involving instruments that, in terms of their risk factors, are comparable with the instrument
measured.
The valuation techniques used entail:
the use of current market prices of other substantially similar instruments, if they are deemed to be highly
comparable (based on the country and sector to which they belong, along with their rating, maturity and
degree of seniority of the securities), such as to avoid any substantial alteration of the prices or the use of
trading prices - with respect to the same financial instrument - concerning market transactions between
independent counterparties;
the use of prices of similar instruments, in terms of their calibration;
discounted cash flow models;
option pricing models.
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 instruments include, as a general indication:
UCIs for which prices recorded in an inactive market whose values are deemed to be representative of fair
value are available. If these prices are based on the NAV, this value, if available at the measurement date, may
be taken into consideration for fair value purposes;
bonds that are not traded on an active market, but which can be priced based on the prices of comparable
securities, as inputs for a valuation model. The fair value of bonds without official prices expressed by an active
market is calculated by using an appropriate credit spread, determined based on liquid financial instruments
with similar features. Moreover, in the case of market transactions - concerning the same financial instrument
- between independent counterparties, account will be taken of the known trading price;
OTC derivatives valued based on observable parameters and market models. Interest rate, exchange, share,
inflation and commodity derivatives - if they are not traded on regulated markets - are known as Over The
Counter (OTC) instruments, i.e. instruments that are bilaterally negotiated with market counterparties, and their
valuation is conducted based on specific pricing models, fed by inputs (such as rate, exchange and volatility
curves) observed on the market.
Lastly, the determination of the fair value of certain types of financial instruments is based on valuation models that
require the use of parameters that cannot be directly observed on the market and which, therefore, require estimates
and assumptions by the valuer (Level 3).
Financial instruments classified as Level 3 instruments include, as a general indication:
• unlisted equity instruments. Equity investments held at cost are also conventionally included among Level 3
instruments;
• UCIs lacking prices expressed by a market (active and inactive) and similar listed securities. This category includes
the open-ended UCIs whose last measured NAV was not reported near the measurement date and the closed-
ended UCIs whose fair value is derived exclusively on the basis of the NAV. For these UCIs, the NAV used for
measurement must prudentially be adjusted to take into account any risk of not being able to carry out a transaction
unless it is at prices that are significantly lower than the value of the assets represented by the NAV. That
adjustment is not considered for investments with a lock-up clause in UCIs managed directly by Group companies,
investments which are part of a strategy aimed at aligning interests with those of investors to promote new funds;
• bonds not listed on active markets, for which there are no comparable instruments, or which require the use of
significant assumptions, such as the knowledge of trading prices between independent counterparties;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
85
• OTC derivatives valued using non-market models, or market models based on parameters that cannot be observed
on the market.
Level 3 instruments also include financial instruments priced by the Bank based on internal valuation models using
inputs that cannot be observed on the market and personal assumptions made by the valuer.
A.4.3 - Fair value hierarchy
With the introduction of IFRS 13, the rules for measuring the fair value previously included in multiple accounting
standards were set out in a single standard.
The fair value is defined as the price that is received for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
When measuring the fair value of a financial instrument, IFRS 13 refers to the concept of hierarchy of the measurement
criteria used, which was at the time introduced by an amendment to IFRS 7 that required the company to classify the
measurements based on a hierarchy of levels that reflects the significance of the inputs used in the measurement of
financial instruments.
This classification aims to establish a hierarchy in terms of reliability of fair value depending on the degree of discretion
applied by enterprises, giving priority to the use of parameters observable on the market reflecting the assumptions
that market participants would use when pricing the asset/liability.
IFRS 13 identifies three different input levels:
- Level 1: inputs represented by (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets - as defined by IFRS 13 - for assets
or liabilities subject to measurement;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices set forth above, which are observable for the assets or liabilities
subject to measurement, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);
- Level 3: inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability subject to measurement.
The choice between these types is not optional but must be done in a hierarchical order, since priority is given to official
prices on active markets (level 1); in the absence of such inputs, we use valuation techniques based on parameters that
cannot be observed on the market (level 2); with a lower and more discretionary priority, the fair value of assets and
liabilities calculated with valuation techniques based on parameters that cannot be observed on the market (level 3).
The valuation method and, as a result, transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy of a financial instrument
are altered only if there are significant changes in the market or subjective conditions of the issuer of the financial
instrument.
IFRS 13 contemplates that, as already indicated by IFRS 7, the instruments at amortised cost are provided with fair value
disclosure.
Within the Bank, the following approaches were identified for calculating the fair value:
Assets at amortised cost
For financial assets recognised in the financial statements at amortised cost, classified in the accounting category of
"Financial assets at amortised cost" (loans and receivables with banks and customers) in particular:
for medium/long-term performing loans (mainly mortgages and leases), the fair value is determined on the
basis of cash flows, suitably adjusted for expected losses, on the basis of the PD and LGD parameters. These
cash flows are discounted on the basis of a market interest rate adjusted to take account of a premium deemed
to express risks and uncertainties;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
86
for "non-performing" loans (bad loans, unlikely to pay, past due), the fair value is assumed to be equal to the
net book value. In this regard, it should be noted that the market for non-performing loans is characterised by
a significant illiquidity and a high dispersion of prices according to the specific characteristics of the loans. The
absence of observable parameters that could be used as a reference for measuring the fair value of exposures
comparable to those being measured could therefore lead to a wide range of possible fair values; for this
reason, for the purposes of financial reporting, the fair value of non-performing loans is shown as the book
value;
for debt securities classified in the “Loans and receivables with banks or customers” or the “Securities issued”
portfolio, the fair value was determined by using prices obtained on active markets or by using valuation
models, as described in the previous paragraph "Fair value levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs
used".
The fair value of loans and receivables with customers and banks with undefined contractual expiry, in that
they are on demand, is represented by the nominal value of the receivables net of the risk component
represented by the calculated probability of default, in accordance with what was previously defined.
Due to banks and customers
These are entered at their nominal value that is usually equal to the amount received initially by the Bank. This value
can be reasonably approximated to the fair value in that the Bank can meet its payables thanks to high levels of
capitalisation.
Securities issued
The item concerns the bonds issued by the Bank and recorded at amortised cost. The fair value is determined through
the use of a model that takes into account the indexation parameter of the loan and a pre-established spread.
A.4.4 Other information
The Bank does not use the exception on the compensating valuation of groups of financial assets and liabilities referred
to in paragraph 48 of IFRS 13.

Loans and receivables with customers totalled 1,277,593 thousand euros (1,247,024 thousand euros at 31 December
2020).
At the reporting date of these Financial Statements, the items relating to current accounts, mortgages and other loans
include non-performing assets (Bucket 3) totalling 50,061 thousand euros (23,055 thousand euros net of write-downs)
comprising:
bad loans totalling 35,863 thousand euros (11,789 thousand euros net of write-downs), referring to the following
positions:
o 4,572 thousand euros (1,043 thousand euros net of write-downs) for the residual amount of a mortgage
terminated on 8 July 2011. The transaction was backed by a first degree mortgage guarantee on real estate,
whose valuation is supported by a specific appraisal. In July 2021, the assets were allotted at auction and the
Bank is waiting to receive the amount due from the Court, on the basis of the distribution project currently
being approved, which should fully cover the value of the net exposure;
o 15,249 thousand euros (3,054 thousand euros net of write-downs) relating to a receivable for a loan due
from Bio-On. The estimate of the presumed realisable value of the receivable remained unchanged with
respect to that calculated for the purposes of the 2019 Annual Report, and confirmed on preparation of the
2021 Annual Report.
o 8,242 thousand euros (5,407 thousand euros net of write-downs) referring to a mortgage terminated on 24
December 2020 backed by first degree mortgage guarantees on property and other collateral that largely
cover the value of the net exposure.
o 7,800 thousand euros, of which 1,153 thousand euros referring to trade receivables (216 thousand euros net
of write-downs) and 6,647 thousand euros (2,069 thousand euros net of write-downs) to receivables relating
to cash loans.
The line-by-line write-downs carried out therefore totalled 24,074 thousand euros (including 937 thousand euros
referring to trade receivables), with a total coverage rate of 67%.
unlikely-to-pay totalling 13,090 thousand euros (10,187 thousand euros net of write-downs), comprising:
o current account overdraft facilities and other loans for collectable interests amounting to a total of 2,986
thousand euros (2,127 thousand euros net of write-downs);
o mortgages amounting to 10,044 thousand euros, of which 922 thousand euros in overdue instalments and
9,122 thousand euros in principal maturing (8,048 thousand euros net of write-downs);
o trade receivables of 60 thousand euros (12 thousand euros net of write-downs).
The itemised write-downs totalled 2,903 thousand euros (of which 48 thousand euros referring to trade
receivables);
other positions expired or past due by over 90 days amounting to 1,108 thousand euros (1,079 thousand euros
net of write-downs).
At 31 December 2021 there were 47 “forborne” exposures, of which:
• 21 non-performing positions totalling 39,141 thousand euros (18,928 thousand euros net of write-downs), of
which 3 positions included among bad loans of 26,504 thousand euros, 17 positions included among unlikely-
to-pay of 12,362 thousand euros and one position included among past due of 275 thousand euros.
• 26 performing positions totalling 15,728 thousand euros.

At 31 December 2021, the Bank calculated the write-down of the portfolio for performing loans and receivables with
customers in Bucket 1 and Bucket 2 relating to cash loans. This write-down amounted to 1,815 thousand euros, lower
than the allocations made for this purpose through 31 December 2020 (equal to 2,741 thousand euros).
In 2021, the Bank recorded in the Income Statement 105 thousand euros for portfolio impairment losses on debt
securities; it also recorded 894 thousand euros for net impairment losses on loans and receivables with customers,
broken down as follows: 926 thousand euros for portfolio value recoveries, 1,243 thousand euros for specific value
recoveries, 2,261 thousand euros for specific impairment losses and 802 thousand euros for cancellation losses.
At 31 December 2021, the allowance for doubtful loans and receivables with customers, excluding securities, reached
28,820 thousand euros, of which 27,005 thousand euros on an itemised basis and 1,815 thousand euros in portfolio
impairment losses.
With regard to the Bank, item 1.7. Other loans includes, in addition to bad loans and impaired trade receivables (Bucket
3) totalling 11,802 thousand euros (already commented on as non-performing assets), Deposits for margins with Cassa
di Compensazione e Garanzia and ICE Clear Europe Ltd for 90,277 thousand euros (Bucket 1), trade receivables (Bucket
2) for 3,705 thousand euros, a loan falling due for 19,991 thousand euros (Bucket 1) and sublease receivables for 26

losses for those securities amounted to 148 thousand euros after utilisation for sales of 124 thousand euros. During the

In view of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, the Bank decided not to apply the standard to any operating leases on
intangible assets. Therefore, the item does not include rights of use acquired under operating leases (as lessee) and
relating to the use of an intangible asset.
Item A.1 of 300 thousand euros relates in part to the goodwill resulting from the merger of Banca Finnat Euramerica
S.p.A. into Terme Demaniali di Acqui S.p.A. carried out in 2003. As this is an intangible asset with indefinite useful life,
an impairment test was carried out in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. The tests conducted did not show any
impairment to record in the income statement.

Section 10 - Tax assets and liabilities - Items 100 (assets) and 60 (liabilities)
Current tax assets amount to 28 thousand euros (706 thousand euros at 31 December 2020) and essentially regard
receivables for Additional IRES.
Current tax liabilities amount to 486 thousand euros (333 thousand euros at 31 December 2020) and include IRES
payables from the national tax consolidation for 392 thousand euros, VAT payables to be paid for 84 thousand euros
and IRAP payables for 10 thousand euros.
10.1 Deferred tax assets: breakdown
Deferred tax assets accounted for with reference to the deductible temporary differences amounted to 1,669 thousand
euros (1,605 thousand euros at 31 December 2020) and referred, for 1,299 thousand euros to taxes recognised through
profit or loss and for 370 thousand euros to taxes recognised with a corresponding item in equity. The former mainly
include the uncompensated portion of the benefits associated with the deductibility in future years of adjustments on
loans (516 thousand euros), adjustments on securities (260 thousand euros) and the benefit deriving from the tax value
of goodwill which will contribute to the formation of taxable income until 2029 (476 thousand euros). This goodwill of
a fiscal nature - of original 21,440 thousand euros - was recorded in 2003 on the occasion of the merger by incorporation
of Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. and Finnat Corporate S.p.A. into Terme Demaniali di Acqui S.p.A.
Deferred tax assets as a balancing entry in equity relate exclusively to taxes on negative valuation reserves relating to
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (277 thousand euros) and the recognition of actuarial
losses on the Provisions for post-employment benefits (93 thousand euros).
10.2 Deferred tax liabilities: breakdown
Deferred tax liabilities amounted to 2,183 thousand euros (1,950 thousand euros at 31 December 2020) and are
recognised through profit or loss for 104 thousand euros and as a balancing entry in equity for 2,079 thousand euros.
The latter concern taxes on positive valuation reserves relating to Investments in subsidiaries measured at fair value
(784 thousand euros) and to Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (1,295
thousand euros).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been determined applying the IRES rate, any additional IRES and, where
applicable, the IRAP rate in force at the date of preparation of this report.

With regard to tax disputes relating to the Bank, it should be noted that on 22 December 2021 the Regional Tax Court
of Lazio Sect. 13 issued sentence no. 485/22 filed on 3 February 2022 which accepted the appeal presented by the
Bank, concerning the dispute against assessment notice no. RCB030302029/2005, whereby the Revenue Agency argued
that certain operating costs relating to the year 2002 were not deductible for IRPEG and IRAP purposes (costs for advisory
services and costs pertaining to a lease agreement). In relation to this dispute, the Bank had already charged 55 thousand
euros to the income statement in the previous years, plus penalties and interest.
The deadlines for appealing to the Supreme Court by the Revenue Agency are still pending.

Section 22 – Earnings per share
22.1 Average number of ordinary shares with diluted capital
The basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are given below, in accordance with IAS 33.
The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (in euro) of the holders of the Bank's
ordinary shares (the numerator) by the weighted average of the ordinary shares outstanding during the year (the
denominator).
For the purpose of calculating the basic earnings (loss) per share, the weighted average of the ordinary shares
outstanding during the year is calculated based on the ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted
by the amount of ordinary shares purchased or issued or sold during the year multiplied by the number of days that the
shares were outstanding, in proportion to the total days in the year. Shares outstanding do not include treasury shares.
The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the profit (losses) of ordinary shareholders, and likewise
the weighted average of the shares outstanding, to take account of any impact by situations that result in dilution.
The following table shows the basic earnings (loss) per share.

Since the Bank has no transactions under way that might determine changes to the number of shares outstanding and
the earnings (loss) of ordinary shareholders, the diluted earnings (loss) per share coincides with the basic earnings per
share and it is unnecessary to perform the reconciliation provided for by paragraph 70 of IAS 33.
22.2 Other information
At the reference date of the financial statements, no financial instruments that could lead to the dilution of the basic
earnings (loss) per share had been issued.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Introduction
The Bank directs its activities in accordance with criteria of prudence and reduced exposure to risks, inspired by the
principle of sound and prudent management.
The Bank has defined its risk appetite by defining the risk objectives and the respective limits in the Risk Appetite
Framework, within which its Bodies implement strategic guidelines according to its mission and the development of set
objectives. Determined thresholds are calibrated in order to identify and intercept the gradual and possible deterioration
of the Group's risk profile and solidity. The mandatory Pillar I limits, on the relationship between regulatory risk measures
and own funds, are defined consistently with the provisions of the Supervisory provisions. Management limits, on the
other hand, refer to the risk limit system that the Bank has introduced and developed over time and which has
implemented in the respective internal regulations. In particular, the Bank has identified specific limits on the LCR and
NSFR indicators. Furthermore, the bank carefully monitors market risk (measured by the VaR and the expected shortfall)
of the country risk and the issuer risk in relation to the proprietary portfolios, as well as the interest rate risk and the
concentration risk on the Banking Book.
Within the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) document, the Bank defined the risk appetite, tolerance thresholds and
assumable limits, in line with the Recovery Plan and the Planning and Budget process. Specifically, a system of limits
has been defined as a management tool aimed at regulating the assumption of risks and guiding the restoration of
normal conditions if the threshold values are exceeded. The RAF also defines the tolerance perimeter, deriving from
assessments carried out under stress conditions, as well as the operational monitoring methods and protocols that can
be activated in the event that the dynamics of the risk profile leads to exceeding the level corresponding to the
maximum deviation allowed by the Risk Appetite Framework.
An important role for the purposes of risk management and monitoring is also played by the ICAAP/ILAAP report
prepared annually by the Banca Finnat Group in compliance with the guidelines of the European Banking Authority and
with the provisions of the provisions of the Bank of Italy.
The preparation of the ICAAP/ILAAP report, governed by internal procedures and carried out through the corporate bodies
and the relevant structures, represents for the Group the final moment of the broader and ongoing self-assessment
process relating to the verification of capital adequacy and its compliance with the RAF, the operational characteristics
and the context in which the Group operates.
On the basis of the supervisory provisions, the Bank also carefully monitors liquidity risk, through a methodology that
has been formalised in specific documents approved by the Board of Directors, and periodically carries out stress tests
on credit, market, concentration and interest rate. The results of the analysis have been evaluated by the Board of
Directors.
In compliance with Directive no. 2014/59/EU - Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), implemented by the
Italian Parliament with Italian Legislative Decree no. 180 and 181/2015, in June 2021 the Bank prepared and sent to the
Supervisory Authority the Group Recovery Plan after approval by the Bank's Board of Directors. The document was
prepared in compliance with the implementing provisions contained in Title IV, Chapter 01-I of the Consolidated Banking
Law and Title IV, Chapter I-bis of the Consolidate Financial Law (Provision on recovery plans). The Group Recovery Plan
is expected to be sent next during the current year, by 30 April.

Section 1 - Credit risk
Qualitative information
1. General aspects
Credit risk has been defined by the Bank as the risk of incurring losses due to the unexpected worsening of the
creditworthiness of a customer, also following situations of contractual default. Credit risk can be broken down into:
• default risk: risk that the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations;
• spread/migration risk: risk of changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparty which determines an effect
on the market value of the credit position;
• recovery risk: the risk that the recovery actually achieved at the end of the asset liquidation of an insolvent
counterparty is lower than originally estimated by the bank.
The Bank's credit risk monitoring is carried out continuously by the Parent Company's Risk Control Function, the Credit
Department, the Credit Committee and the other pertaining functions.
For the quantification of the current internal capital on credit risk, the standardised methodology is used for the
determination of the prudential capital requirements pursuant to EC Regulation no. 575/2013.
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
Following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Bank granted those of its customers who requested it and met the
necessary requisites the option to take advantage of the moratoriums provided by the “Cura Italia” Decree.
The Bank also implemented a voluntary commercial initiative with performing customers aimed at suspending the
payment of the principal amount of mortgages and other loans repaid by instalments. The suspension had a maximum
duration of 12 months for companies and 6 months for individuals, with the extension of the duration of the loan by
the corresponding period; this initiative was aimed at all customers whose debt exposures were not classified as non-
performing credit exposures.
2. Credit risk management policies
2.1 Organisational aspects
The Bank's strategy, which has always been aimed at optimising the relationship with customers, was intended to
provide financial services with high added value to high-standing customers, with the objective of ensuring their loyalty.
With this in mind, the Bank aims to offer actual or potential customers, not only services of primary interest, such as
those relating to private banking, investment banking, fiduciary and advisory services, but also credit facilities to build
long-term relationships. In order to carry out activities involving the assumption of credit risk, the Bank has adopted a
specific Credit Regulation, which formalises the processes and criteria to be applied to the disbursement of new loans
or the granting of credit lines in accordance with credit policies and corporate strategic guidelines.
Loans granted by the Bank mainly fall within the following categories:
loans to customers and banks (typically on sight and maturity credit lines and mortgages that provide for fixed
or in any case determinable payments);
trade receivables;
repurchase agreements.
After initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost equal to the value of initial recognition
decreased/increased by capital repayments, value adjustments/recoveries and amortisation calculated using the
effective interest rate method.

In order to mitigate the credit risk and avoid the emergence of situations that could lead to losses and write-downs on
the loan portfolio, the Bank carries out a credit activity that favours loans "guaranteed" in real terms or those secured
by a pledge on securities, assets and real estate mortgages, occasionally granting credit lines to known and consolidated
customers based on the creditworthiness of the borrower.
The company structure and organisation, characterised by the small size and the precise formalisation of credit
granting/disbursement procedures, also make it possible to provide customers with primary interest services, granted
with decision-making procedures in short time frames.
The operational strategy adopted by the Bank, outlined previously, has ensured that:
existing transactions have low risk margins;
the amount of non-performing loans (net of impairment losses made) is contained in a percentage of
approximately 1% of total loans and receivables with customers included in table A.1.1 Breakdown of credit
exposures by portfolio classification and credit quality reported in subsequent pages;
lending activities provide a positive image and prestige return for the Bank, with positive effects on “traditional”
activities.
2.2 Management, measurement and control systems
The assessment of the credit risk and creditworthiness of customers is entrusted to the delegated bodies which act in
accordance with explicit powers specifically assigned. The delegated bodies receive all the information necessary for
assessing the creditworthiness of customers so that they can express their opinion on loan transactions without delay.
The Bank's lending process is illustrated below.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

146
Assessment of creditworthiness of loan applicants
The assessment of creditworthiness, promptly proceduralised, is aimed above all at ascertaining the existence of the
repayment capacity of applicants and at verifying the compatibility existing between the individual loan requests and
the company strategies concerning the choices of the size and breakdown of the credit portfolio.
The corporate functions involved in creditworthiness assessment provide to:
- accept customer financing requests;
- acquire all the documentation necessary for examining the equity, financial and economic situation of the applicant
and of any guarantors, to instruct the credit line procedure;
- analyse the qualitative information concerning new customers and update the information for existing customers;
- verify the reliability of the data reported in the documentation and information requested;
- with reference to the investigation carried out, formulate an opinion regarding the applicant's creditworthiness;
- connect the borrower's various relationships, both active and passive, and also the credit lines granted with the
guarantees offered and the guarantees received with the guarantors proposed;
- prepare a summary of the assessments regarding the reliability or otherwise of the customer and formulate an
opinion on the amount of the credit that can be granted, the technical form for the use of the same, as well as
highlight the guarantees to be acquired in relation to both quantitative and qualitative aspects.
The Bank also carries out a qualitative assessment of credit exposures on the basis of an internal management-type
rating system offered by the CSE outsourcer which allows customers to be classified into risk classes corresponding to
different insolvency probability levels.
For the assessment of creditworthiness and the related subdivision into rating classes, the main areas of investigation
cover the analysis of the data listed below:
- internal performance data;
- system performance data (notifications from risk centre);
- financial statements information (central financial statements archives);
- socio-demographic information.
Variables are estimated individually with respect to the areas subject to investigation and subsequently integrated into
the final model, separately for individuals and businesses.
Granting of loans
Credit lines are granted by the decision-making body taking into due consideration all the reasons that led to the
determination of the amount that can be granted and the guarantees required, depending on transaction's risk level.
Once the loan proposal has been approved:
- guarantees are acquired and the transactions for the completion of the loan granted are carried out;
- the loan is paid out;
- the necessary implementation of the transaction is carried out within the IT system for the purposes of periodic
checks, of the request for due instalments, of the timely revision of the rate where applicable and/or of the
guarantees.
Management of anomalous loans
The management of anomalous loans takes place through the careful and periodic analysis of past due positions carried
out by the relevant company functions, by the Credit Committee and under the supervision of General Management. In
particular, the Bank's General Management and the departments concerned receive, with a predetermined frequency,
adequate reports on the trend of non-performing loans, detailed by individual customer, both assigned and not.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

147
Non-performing loans, net of write-downs, amount to a total of 23,055 thousand euros, represented by bad loans for
11,789 thousand euros, unlikely to pay for 10,187 thousand euros and past due exposures for 1,079 thousand euros.
In this regard, it should be noted that non-performing loans net of write-downs at 31 December 2021 represent 1.8%
of the total of the item loans to customers included in table A.1.1 Breakdown of credit exposures by portfolio
classification and credit quality reported in the subsequent pages.
Performing stress tests
The Bank performs stress test simulations on credit risk at pre-established intervals aimed at quantifying capital
absorption and determining related capital ratios. The methodology adopted for conducting the stress test on credit and
counterparty risk assumes two different stress scenarios, which occur simultaneously which are attributable to an
increase in bad loans and non-performing loans and a reduction in the value of the securities held. The verification of
the capital solidity of the Bank and of the Group in the event of adverse scenarios is carried out by measuring the
impacts that the results of the stress tests determine on the capital ratios.
2.3 Methods of measuring expected losses
The criteria and logic used to determine the expected losses are described in the Bank's ECL Policy, which has as its
perimeter of application financial and commercial receivables, as well as the proprietary financial instruments, in order
to verify and evaluate their creditworthiness.
The amount of expected losses depends on the extent of the deterioration in credit quality with respect to initial
recognition and takes into account the guarantees held to mitigate the credit risk.
Consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, the Bank adopts the following approach for the calculation of impairment:
- 12-months expected credit losses (Stage 1): if, at the reporting date, the credit risk of a financial instrument
has not increased significantly compared to the "first recognition" date, the Bank measures the losses for that financial
instrument as the amount equal to the expected losses over the next 12 months;
-Lifetime months expected credit losses (Stage 2): at each reporting date, the Bank measures losses for a financial
instrument as the amount equal to the expected losses over its lifetime if the risk of that instrument has significantly
increased compared to the first recognition date.
As regards the staging rules and the criteria for recognition of loans within their respective "buckets", reference is made
to the staging allocation Policy approved by the Board of Directors.
Consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, the model requires the calculation of a provision at each cash flow date of
the case in order to carry out a final “multi-period type” totalisation. In the event of cases with maturity, a calculation is
therefore made at the date of each future instalment, while for demand items a single calculation is made relating to
the cash flow placed at maturity date.
For each period, the calculation is as follows:
• ECL(t) = EAD(t) * LGD(t) * marginal PD (t) * DF(t)
• ECL(t) = contribution to the provision for period t (from effective date to expiry date). The first period (first
instalment for items at maturity or all those on demand) always starts on the date of calculation of the provisions
• t = cash flow due date
• EAD(t) = exposure at date t; amortised cost for maturity cases, balance for on demand items
• LGD (t) = lgd at time t obtained through IFRS 9 logic
•Marginal PD (t) = cumulative PD (t) - cumulative PD (t-1) obtained from the PD lifetime curves for the segment
and class associated with the counterpart
• DF(t) = discount factor at time t calculated at the IRR (internal rate of return) on a 360 basis

The expected credit loss of financial instruments represented by securities is processed by a leading external specialised
company and provided, for each financial instrument, through management applications. The information flow occurs
on a quarterly basis and the organisational units apply the rules envisaged in the staging allocation Policy for classification
in the correct reference bucket. Probability default measures are extracted from listed credit spreads and therefore have
an information content capable of summarising the expectations of occurrence of future events incorporated by the
market (forward looking measures). The probabilities of default and LGDs are estimated for each issuer and associated
with the respective issues, providing for a differentiation based on the level of subordination (senior and subordinated
issues).
The default probability term structure for each issuer is estimated starting from the information and credit spreads
quoted daily on the financial markets (i.e. CDS spreads and bond prices). Preferably, the specific credit spreads of the
individual issuer are used; in this perspective, a credit spread is considered specific when it is directly referable to the
issuer's ''risk group''. In the event that, for a given issuer, equally significant specific credit spreads are available on
several markets, the market preferentially used is the CDS one.
The mapping of individual issuers to the comparable issuer or to the reference cluster is carried out on the basis of the
following analysis axes:
- industrial sector,
- geographical area of interest,
- rating (ECAI);
- analysis of fundamental financial statement data.
For financial instruments, the loss given default is assumed to be constant for the entire time period of the financial
asset under analysis and is a function of two factors:
- instrument ranking;
- classification of the country of origin of the issuing body.
For countries considered to be developed, the LGD is set equal to 0.6 for senior issues and 0.8 for subordinated issues.
For covered issues, the value changes as the rating assigned to the individual security in question changes. Unlike for
emerging countries with equal subordination, the LGD level is higher, in fact the senior issues are subject to an LGD of
0.75 and subordinated ones to an LGD equal to 1.
Scenarios
The impairment model adopted by the Bank, in compliance with the provisions of IFRS 9, provides for the use of "forward
looking scenario" which are identified in a "base scenario", a "scenario up" and a "scenario down", each of which is
associated with an occurrence probability. In compliance with the principle of proportionality, also dictated by the low
volumes of loan disbursements, the Bank has adopted models and scenarios developed by a leading specialised external
supplier.
The scenarios include forecasts on the main macroeconomic variables, the probability of occurrence of the scenarios
used at 31 December 2021 is 90% for the "down scenario" and 5% for the "up scenario" and for the "base scenario".
The macroeconomic scenario used at 31 December 2021 has been updated by an external company specialising in the
sector and includes the most up-to-date forecasts also used at the consortium level.
As anticipated, the Bank used a scenario that envisaged the adoption of a probability of occurrence of the down forecast
of 90%, compared to a standard of 5% used prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. This approach resulted in an increase in
impairment losses on performing loans of approximately 195 thousand euros.

Changes due to Covid-19
To determine the collective write-down of performing positions, as in previous financial years, the bank used the
consortium model developed by the IT outsourcer in accordance with IFRS 9, which takes into account the updating of
the historical series of risk parameters and macroeconomic factors based on the latest available forecasts.
Assessment of the significant increase in credit risk (SICR)
The Bank assessed any increase in credit risk using current and prospective reasonable and sustainable information at
the date of preparation of these financial statements. The economic support measures put in place by the Government
to support debtors in response to Covid-19 were not considered as measures that automatically trigger a SICR.
Measurement of expected credit losses
As regards the information on the adjustments made to the expected loss measurement models, as previously specified,
the Bank uses the estimation model implemented by the IT outsourcer which incorporates the macroeconomic scenarios,
implemented by a leading supplier; for the purpose of calculating the impairment, these scenarios weigh: base scenario
at 90%, scenario up at 5% and scenario down at 5%. Details of the main scenario used (base scenario) are shown
below.

2.4 Credit risk mitigation techniques
Credit risk mitigation techniques represent a tool for reducing or transferring part of the credit risk on the exposures
originated and reducing the loss that would occur in the event of counterparty default (Loss given default).
Credit risk mitigation is implemented by favouring mainly transactions backed by collateral. Loans and disbursements
are granted by the delegated corporate bodies only following a careful and weighted analysis of creditworthiness and
of the validity and consistency of the guarantees provided. Guarantees must be explicit and must not be subject to
conditions, as required by the Supervisory Instructions.
The real guarantees most used by the Bank are represented by mortgages on residential and non-residential properties,
pledges on financial instruments and liquidity. With the aim of identifying and preventing deterioration in the value of
the guarantees held, the estimated or appraisal value of the asset (net of any encumbrances) or the market value, in
the case of listed securities, is monitored on the collateral. For movable assets taken as collateral, and subject to
fluctuations in values, a "spread" is applied to the counter-value that is subject to periodic reviews and in any case
whenever there are significant decreases in their price. With regard to mortgages, the value of the properties is
periodically reviewed. To this end, the Bank makes use of third parties with proven experience based on the provisions
of article 120 duodecies of the Consolidated Banking Law and the implementing provisions of the Bank of Italy.
In the case of personal guarantees received, the guarantor must undertake a legally binding commitment to satisfy the
obligations relating to one or more credit concessions pertaining to a specific subject. With reference to "letters of
patronage", only those that do not have the declaratory nature of a parent company's shareholding relationship are to
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

151
be considered, but those for which the guarantee function is pre-eminent, so that the commitment assumed can actually
be configured as a surety-type obligation, with an ancillary nature compared to the main one of the subsidiary.
3. Non-performing credit exposures
3.1 Management strategies and policies
The classification of non-performing financial assets into the various categories of "default" takes place in compliance
with the instructions issued by the Supervisory Authority as indicated in Circular 272 of the Bank of Italy of 2008 (as
subsequently updated). Loans classified as bad loans are subject to an analytical assessment process by the Credit
Committee, the Credit Department and the Risk Management Function which analyse the position and the Guarantees
held in order to estimate their presumed realisable value. The analysis carried out follows criteria precisely defined
within the company policies. In this context, the recovery times Time value on bad loans are also stable. Non-performing
loans (UTP and Past due), consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, are subject to a fund valuation process that includes
forward looking valuation.
In consideration of the small number of positions classified as past-due or UTP, and with the aim of carrying out as
refined an assessment as possible, the Bank also carries out analytical assessments of non-performing loans using the
same logic provided for loans classified as bad loans, where peculiarities are identified that make the analytical
evaluation more reliable than the statistical one.
The monitoring of loans granted to customers is carried out by the Risk Control OU which, with the support of automated
IT tools, prepares adequate reports for the Top Management at a predetermined frequency. The subsequent assessment
and classification of non-performing loans is carried out by specific committees set up within the Bank which each time
assess the individual credit exposures, the creditworthiness of customers, the guarantees and any other factor that may
affect the assessment of the credit exposures.
With reference to bad loans, management is carried out by the Legal Department for recovery activities.
3.2 Write-offs
The write-off constitutes an event that gives rise to an accounting derecognition when there are no longer reasonable
expectations of recovering the financial asset. It can occur before the legal actions for the recovery of the financial asset
have ended and does not necessarily involve the waiver of the legal right to recover the credit by the bank.
The write-off can concern the entire amount of a financial asset or a portion of it and corresponds to:
- the reversal of total impairment losses, as a contra entry to the gross value of the financial asset, and
- for the part exceeding the total impairment losses, to the impairment of the financial asset recognised directly
in the income statement.
Any recoveries from collections subsequent to the write-off are recognised in the income statement under write-backs.
The term “total write-offs ” means the cumulative amounts of partial and total write-offs on financial assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the amount of the positions subject to write-off is equal to 802 thousand
euros.
3.3 Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
They represent exposures that meet the definition of acquired or originated impaired financial asset as per Appendix A
of IFRS 9. This includes, inter alia, non-performing credit exposures acquired as part of disposal transactions (individual
or portfolio ) and business combinations.
At 31 December 2021, the Bank does not hold financial assets falling under this category.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and forborne exposures
Forborne exposures are defined as those deriving from concessions made in the presence of both of the following two
conditions:
- the debtor, due to their own financial difficulties, is (or is close to becoming) unable to comply with the terms
of the contract;
- the lender makes a favourable concession to the debtor due to the difficulties highlighted.
The forborne attribute is assigned at the level of a single credit line upon the occurrence of specific conditions of difficulty
of the debtor in fulfilling their obligations, associated with an activity of the Bank aimed at overcoming such difficulties
(forbearance measures).
Forborne exposures can be found both within the categories of non-performing loans and in the category of performing
loans, in relation to the risk status of the exposure at the time of the concession.
With reference to the two main directives, dictated by the EBA in primis, by Circular no. 272 and clarified and made
explicit with the Consultation Report drawn up by Banca Italia, the Bank sets the following lines for:
- the identification of forbearance measures;
- the management and monitoring of the loans subject to these measures.
In general, the following forborne measures are identified:
a) extension of the expiry date of the loan;
b) reduction of the interest rate applied;
c) transformation of the credit line from maturity to revocation;
d) modification of the instalment deadline frequency;
e) change in the type of amortisation.
According to internal policies, the concessions made by the Bank to debtors who do not present conditions of financial
difficulty are excluded considering:
- either earning capacity;
- or their credit reserve in the banking system and their ability to obtain financing from the same.
The attribution of the forborne status is the responsibility of the body deliberating the granting of the forbearance
measure. The management of the loans subject to forborne measures takes place through the IT procedure and the
monitoring provides, among other things, a quarterly information report to the Credit Committee.
At 31 December 2021 there were 47 “forborne” exposures, of which:
• 21 non-performing positions totalling 39,141 thousand euros (18,928 thousand euros net of write-downs), of
which 3 positions included among bad loans of 26,504 thousand euros, 17 positions included among unlikely-
to-pay of 12,362 thousand euros and one position included among past due of 275 thousand euros.
• 26 performing positions totalling 15,728 thousand euros.
In several documents, the EBA has clarified that the legislative moratoriums granted in response to the Covid 19
emergency do not involve an automatic classification of the position as forbearance.
Banca Finnat has defined the criteria which, if respected, do not lead to the classification as forborne of a position that
benefited from the moratorium.
As regards the SICR assessing process and measuring the expected losses, please refer to the previous paragraph "2.3
Methods of measuring expected losses", sub-paragraph "Changes due to Covid-19".

B.4 Large exposures
a) Amount (book value) 2,233,145 thousand euros
b) Amount (weighted value) 143,310 thousand euros
c) Number 8
The provisions contained in EC Regulation no. 575/2013 establish that large exposure means the exposure of an
institution to a customer or a group of connected customers with a value equal to or greater than 10% of the eligible
capital of the institution.
The same provisions state that the amount of an institution's exposure to a single client or group of connected clients
may not exceed 25% of the institution's eligible capital. The amount of 25% obviously takes into account the credit risk
mitigation techniques, the type of guarantee acquired and the debtor counterparty.
With the aim of containing Large Exposures within the limits set by the regulatory provisions, the corporate control
functions carry out ex ante controls on new loans and periodically verify the Bank's overall exposure to customers or
groups of connected customers which fall into the category of large exposures. The internal policies also provide for the
preparation of adequate reporting to the corporate bodies.

F. Models for credit risk measurement
Starting from the financial year ended 31 December 2021, the Bank uses a standardised methodology adopting the
integral method for the treatment of financial collateral for the purpose of quantifying internal capital (current and
prospective) in line with the guidelines defined in the budgeting process and multi-year planning.
In compliance with supervisory provisions, the method adopted by the Bank for quantifying internal capital allows the
use of collaterals (pledges and mortgages) and personal guarantees as a form of credit risk mitigation. The bank favours
the acquisition of collateral characterised by high liquidity (listed financial instruments) and low price volatility (sovereign
government debt securities).
With the aim of verifying the adequacy of internal capital even in the event of adverse circumstances related to the
negative trend in loans, the Bank conducts stress tests on credit risk in the context of ICAAP/ILAAP reporting. To carry
out these tests, reference is made to macroeconomic and idiosyncratic events which include the increase in default
positions, reduction in value of guarantees and the increase in Probability of Default.

Section 2 - Market risks
2.1 Interest rate risk and price risk - Regulatory trading book
Qualitative information
A. General aspects
Market risk was is defined by the Bank as the risk of an unfavourable change in the value of a position in financial
instruments, included in the trading book for supervisory purposes, due to adverse trends in interest rates, exchange
rates, interest rates inflation, volatility, share prices, credit spreads, commodity prices (generic risk) and issuer
creditworthiness (specific risk).
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to market risk, the Bank did not detect significant impacts on the valuation of financial assets in the
trading book as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The trading book is in fact of a residual amount and consists almost
exclusively of financial instruments characterised by high liquidity.
B. Management processes and methods of measuring interest rate risk and price risk
Interest rate risk
All financial instruments subject to the capital requirements for market risks fall within the “trading book”, as defined
by the supervisory regulations.
The trading book consists of:
- debt securities;
- equity securities;
- UCI units;
- trading derivatives.
The debt securities present in the portfolio at 31 December 2021 are largely made up of government securities with a
limited overall duration. Equity investments mainly concern securities listed on the Italian Stock Exchange and with a
high degree of liquidity. The instruments in the portfolio are denominated in Euro.
The Managing Director and the General Management of the Bank provide strategic guidelines regarding the assumption
of market risks relating to the acquisition and negotiation of trading securities.
With regard to interest rate risk, the Bank monitors changes in market rates, with the production of specific reports
which are provided to the Management.
Price risk
Price risk represents the risk of capital losses on listed financial assets or in any case similar to listed instruments
following fluctuations in the price of securities or for factors attributable to the specific situation of the issuer.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

175
The Bank has adopted specific internal regulations that govern and limit the assumption of risk towards certain types of
financial instruments and allow the continuous monitoring of the main risk indicators (VAR - Expected Shortfall - Volatility,
etc.)
Stress limits have also been identified and envisaged which consider simultaneous shocks on credit risk - increases in
spreads and decreases in share prices.
The methodology adopted for calculating the VAR is historical, the bank uses a 2-year holding period, a confidence
interval of 99% and a daily time horizon to quantify the expected risk.
The bond trading book is mainly represented by government debt securities. The price risk is consequently linked to the
specific situation of the issuer.
As regards the portfolio relating to equity instruments, it should be noted that it includes, almost exclusively, listed
shares with a high degree of liquidity.
Finally, with reference to the management of market risks, it should be noted that transactions with particular
characteristics in terms of structure, type of issuer or risk are subject to scrutiny by the Managing Director and by the
General Management, which carries out a specific assessment of the risk profiles associated with them.

2.2 Interest rate risk and price risk - Banking book
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring interest rate risk and price risk
Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk relating to the banking book is defined as the current and future risk of volatility of profits or capital
deriving from adverse movements in interest rates. From the definition of the interest rate risk it is clear that this risk is
generated by imbalances arising from the core business as a consequence of the difference in the maturities and in the
redefinition periods of the interest rate conditions of assets and liabilities. The Bank's interest rate risk management
policy on the banking book is aimed at stabilising the interest margin on the banking book.
The Bank's internal structures periodically monitor and provide the Bank's Top Management and Board of Directors with
adequate reporting on the interest rate risk of the banking book. In addition, stress tests on the interest rate risk of the
Repricing Gap and Duration Gap type banking book are carried out at pre-established intervals. The operational limits to
the assumption of risk have been defined by the Bank's Board of Directors and are periodically reviewed by the same.
The banking book consists of assets and liabilities financial instruments not included in the portfolio consisting of trading
securities. It is mainly composed of receivables and payables from banks and customers as well as from management
hedging derivatives.
With regard to the banking book, in relation to interest rate risk, please note the following:
Cash assets
- debt securities all in Euro amount to a total of 1,084 million euros and are represented by securities present in the
portfolio of Financial Assets at amortised cost for 754 million euros and those present in the portfolio of Financial
Assets measured at fair value through comprehensive income for 330 million euros. Debt securities are mainly
represented by Government Bonds maturing in 2022 for 541 million euros, maturing in 2023 for 10 million euros,
maturing in 2024 for 300 million euros, maturing in 2025 for 41 million euros, maturing in 2026 for 131 million euros
and maturing in 2029 for 5 million euros;
- loans to banks (Euro and currencies), are represented for 78 million euros by deposits and current accounts on demand
mainly at variable rate, for 54 million euros by other loans at variable rate (of which 6 million euros for compulsory
reserve);
- loans to customers (Euros and currencies), for a total of 523 million euros, are represented by current account credit
lines for 203 million euros, loans granted to customers for 169 million euros, mostly at variable rates, and repurchase
agreements for 26 million euros and from other loans for 125 million euros.
Cash liabilities
- amounts due to customers (Euros and currencies) amount to a total of 1,653 million euros and are mainly represented
by fixed-rate time deposits for 187 million euros (maturing in 2022 for a nominal amount of 46 million euros, in 2023
for a nominal value of 29 million euros, in 2024 for a nominal amount of 39 million euros, in 2025 for a nominal
amount of 31 million euros and by 2030 for a nominal value of 23 million euros), from current accounts that are
variable or reviewable fixed rate for 680 million euros, from repurchase agreements on securities listed on regulated
markets for 751 million euros;
- payables to banks (Euro and currencies) refer to loans and deposits for a total of 0.4 million euros;

From the above, it can be concluded that the interest rate risk is limited.
Price risk
Price risk represents the risk of capital losses on listed financial assets or in any case similar to listed instruments
following fluctuations in the price of securities or for factors attributable to the specific situation of the issuer.
The Bank has adopted specific internal regulations that govern and limit the assumption of risk towards certain types of
financial instruments and allow the continuous monitoring of the main risk indicators (VAR - Expected Shortfall - Volatility,
etc.)

2.3 Currency risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods for measuring exchange rate risk
The management of exchange rate risk is the responsibility of the General Management and the Finance Department
carries out trading, hedging and brokerage activities within specific operating limits of a limited amount both for financial
assets and liabilities in own currency and as counter-entries to customer transactions.
Exposure to exchange rate risk is normally very low and limited to temporary misalignments in opposite positions. The
Bank keeps the risk to a minimum by always monitoring the treasury exposure deriving from temporal mismatching
between assets and liabilities.
B. Exchange risk hedging activities
At 31 December 2021, two management hedges were open for GBP 7,000 thousand and CHF 4,000 thousand.

Section 4 - Liquidity risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring liquidity risk
Liquidity risk was defined by the Bank as the possibility of not meeting its payment commitments. The risk under analysis
is linked to the inability to raise funds (funding liquidity risk) or to the presence of limits on the disposal of assets (market
liquidity risk).
By funding liquidity risk we mean the risk that the Bank is unable to meet their payment commitments and obligations
efficiently (with respect to the "desired" risk profile and/or to economic conditions "fair") due to inability to raise funds
without compromising its core business and/or financial situation.
Market liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to liquidate an asset without incurring capital losses due to the
limited liquidity of the reference market and/or as a consequence of the timing necessary to carry out the operation.
The analysis of the breakdown of the Bank's financial instruments (assets and liabilities) shows, overall, a limited liquidity
risk. In fact, the loan portfolio features a prevalence of on demand and short-term loans both on the interbank market
and to customers (as it is largely made up of on demand loans directly linked to private banking). The securities portfolio
mainly consists of highly liquid debt securities issued by countries in the Euro area.
As far as sources of funding are concerned, funding consists of current accounts, term deposits, repurchase agreements
and the issue of floating rate bonds. The concentration of funding sources, present on leading and consolidated
customers, is a consequence of the business model adopted by the Bank which provides for the disbursement of loans
and the provision of services to highly selected customers.
The Bank's overall exposure to liquidity risk is therefore kept at modest levels thanks to the structure of the financial
portfolio described above.
The ability to promptly and economically meet commitments is implemented through a careful control of the position
through the use of IT systems that guarantee continuous monitoring of liquidity requirements which are possibly
managed through the use of the interbank deposit market and as an alternative to the Repo market.
On the basis of the supervisory provisions, the Bank has defined guidelines on the governance and management of
liquidity risk and the related stress test methods to be carried out. In particular, the roles and responsibilities of the
corporate bodies involved, the methodologies for calculating the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) and NSFR (Net Stable
Funding Ratio) indicators were identified as well as the criteria to be followed for conducting stress tests.
The short-term liquidity management policy, monitored with the LCR indicator, includes the set of limits and alert
thresholds that allow, both in normal market conditions and under stress conditions, to measure the exposure to the
liquidity risk. The liquidity necessary to cope with any structural imbalances in the composition of assets and liabilities
over a time horizon of one year is, however, monitored through the NSFR indicator.
As part of the liquidity risk management process, the Bank's Risk Control Organisational Unit provides to:
- periodically carry out the stress tests for risk measurement identified by the Bank by implementing the
necessary measurements to determine the value of the LCR indicator: Liquidity Coverage Ratio (aimed at
ensuring that the Bank holds an amount of high quality liquid assets which allow to withstand stressful
situations on the funding market over a time span of 30 days) and the NSFR indicator: Net Stable Funding
Ratio (aimed at guaranteeing a structural balance of the bank financial statements);
- prepare the reports to be sent to Top Management illustrating the exposure to liquidity risk, also
determined on the basis of the stress tests.

From the analyses carried out at 31 December 2021, it is noted that potential cash outflows are fully covered by inflows
and the liquidity buffer held by the Bank and therefore no risk situations are identified.
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to liquidity risk, the Bank did not detect significant impacts as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The
liquidity buffer and the eligible assets are constantly monitored and are adequate to manage outflows even under stress
conditions.

Section 5 - Operational risk
Qualitative and quantitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring operational risk
Operational risk means the risk of suffering losses deriving from the inadequacy or malfunction of procedures, human
resources and internal systems, or from external events. This type includes, among other things, losses deriving from
fraud, human errors, interruptions to operations, unavailability of systems, contractual breaches, natural and/or
geopolitical disasters. Operational risk includes legal risk but not strategic and reputational risks.
While adopting a standardised method of calculating operational risks, the Banks carries out an analysis/self-assessment
of the same. In order to standardise the operational risk quantification process, the Bank has also formalised the
methodology adopted in the document “Operational risk management in Banca Finnat”.
The analysis of operational risks and the identification of the processes with the greatest impact are periodically carried
out by the Risk Control O.U. in order to promptly identify the business areas and processes presenting the greater
operational risk in order to make the necessary corrective actions.
In particular, the analysis focuses on identifying, within the aforementioned operating procedures, the activities that
may generate operational risks for the Bank and the related controls to mitigate the same risks.
As regards the quantification of the internal capital placed to support operational risk, as previously mentioned, the Bank
uses a basic approach to determine the prudential capital requirements as indicated by the provisions of EC Regulation
575/2013.
In this context, the internal control function verifies the functioning and compliance of the same procedures, their
adequacy with respect to the regulations in force as well as the proposed revisions.

Section 2 – Own funds and capital ratios
For supervisory purposes, the capital aggregate relevant for this purpose is determined on the basis of the provisions in
force laid down by the Bank of Italy and constitutes the reference system for prudential supervisory provisions.
Own funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to 248,893 thousand euros (241,646 thousand euros at 31 December 2020),
whereas the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio stood at 41.96% (47.47% at 31 December
2020). The Bank exercised the option to apply the transitional provisions for the deferment over time of the impacts of
the application of the new accounting standard on own funds - illustrated in the section of the Report on Operations
“Market disclosure information”. Without this application, Own funds would have been equal to 248,286 thousand euros,
while the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio would be equal to 41.90%.
For more details, please refer to the disclosure on own funds and capital adequacy provided at consolidated level and
included in the disclosure to the public ("Third Pillar"). The document is published on the Bank's website
www.bancafinnat.it, in the Regulated information section.

PART M - Information on leases
This part provides the information required by IFRS 16 that is not included in the other parts of the financial statements.
In particular, rights of use acquired through leases at 31 December 2021 amount to 9,131 thousand euros, of which
8,722 thousand euros relating to property leases. Leasing payables amount to 9,356 thousand euros.
Section 1 - Lessee
QUALITATIVE INFORMATION
At 31 December 2021, there were 46 lease contracts, of which: i) 15 relating to buildings; ii) 2 relating to electronic
systems; iii) 29 related to other types (of which 25 cars).
95.5% of the value of the rights of use recorded in the assets of the Statement of financial position refers to real estate
lease contracts which mainly include properties intended for use as offices and bank branches and, to a lesser extent,
intended for employee accommodation. Real estate leases contracts recognised under rights of use, all relating to assets
located in Italy, have a duration of more than 12 months and typically have renewal or termination options that can be
exercised by the lessor and the lessee in accordance with the provisions of law or contractual provisions. The contracts
do not provide for purchase options of properties on their expiry; furthermore, no significant reinstatement costs are
envisaged in the lease contracts.
As required by the Banca Finnat Group Policy, adopted by the companies of the Group to regulate the methods of
identification, evaluation and accounting of leases, in the event of signing of new rental contracts, the determination of
the duration of the lease is carried out taking into account the expiry of the contracts and any options envisaged by the
lease such as, for example, lease extension options or contract termination options. In particular, in the largely prevalent
cases of lease contracts drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Italian Law no. 392/1978, with a contractual
duration of six years and the option of tacitly renewing the six-year contract in six years, the overall duration of the lease
is assumed to be equal to 12 years. In cases in which new elements or specific situations emerge from the analysis of
the individual lease contracts, this general indication is superseded.
Leases relating to electronic systems concern 0.4% of the value of the rights of use recognised in the assets of the
Statement of financial position.
Leases relating to other types concern 4.1% of the value of the rights of use recognised in the Statement of financial
position and refer for 3.4% to long-term rental contracts for cars made available to employees, directors (mixed use) or
at the disposal of the Bank's branches and for the remainder to ATMs and TCRs. Almost all car contracts have a four-year
or five-year term and do not include the option to purchase the asset. No renewal options are envisaged but the contracts
can be extended according to the car fleet management; in the event of early repayment, a penalty is generally included.
The payment of the lease instalments is made monthly in advance.
Banca Finnat did not carry out any sale and leaseback transactions in 2021.
As regards sub-lease transactions, it should be noted that the Bank has a single sub-lease transaction in place for a
portion of a property of an insignificant amount.
Based on the provisions of the aforementioned Policy, the Banca Finnat Group avails itself of the exemptions provided
for by IFRS 16 and, consequently: i) provisions relating to the recognition, initial valuation, subsequent valuation and off-
balance sheet exposure of short-term lease contracts with a duration equal to or less than 12 months and lease contracts

200
in which each underlying asset is of modest value, meaning with a value of 5 thousand euros, are not applied; ii) In
consideration of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, the Bank has not deemed it necessary to apply the standard to any
operating leases on intangible assets.
QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION
In Part B - Assets of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the information on the rights of use acquired with the lease
are respectively reported:
Table 8.1 - Property, equipment and investment property used in operations: breakdown of assets at cost.
Table 8.6 - Property, equipment and investment property used in operations: annual changes and Table IFRS
16 - Property, equipment and investment property used in operation: annual changes.
Part B - Liabilities show: lease payables:
Table 1.2 - Financial liabilities at amortised cost: breakdown by product of due to customers.
Table 1.6 Lease payables
Finally, please refer to the specific sections contained in Part C of the Notes to the Financial Statements for the relevant
information:
interest income and expense relating to lease payables (Section 1 Interest - Tables 1.1 and 1.3);
amortisation of assets consisting of rights of use (Section 14 - Net value adjustments/recoveries on property,
equipment and investment property).
Section 2 - Lessor
To date, the Bank has no transactions in place for the sale of leased assets, neither for operational nor financial leases.

Significant non-recurring operations and positions or transactions deriving from atypical and/or unusual operations
Pursuant to the Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006, it should be noted that:
- during 2021, no non-recurring events occurred or were carried out, meaning events or operations that do not
usually take place, in connection with ordinary business operations;
- no atypical and/or unusual transactions took place during 2021, either within the Group or with related or third
parties. Atypical and/or unusual transactions are those operations which, due to their magnitude/importance, to the
nature of the counterparty, to the subject matter of the transaction and to the method for determining the transfer price
and time frame (close to the year-end), may give rise to doubts as to: the accuracy/completeness of the information
set out in the financial statements, any conflict of interest, the safeguarding of the company's net worth and the
protection of non-controlling interests.
The most significant Group transactions in 2021 are commented on in a special section of the Report on Operations.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
This Report provides a representation of the corporate governance system adopted by Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A.
(hereinafter “Banca Finnat” or the “Bank”) and contains information on the ownership structure and compliance with
the Codes of Conduct.
The Report is made available on the Bank's website in the Investor relations - Corporate Governance section.
The information contained in the Report refers to the year ended 31 December 2021 and, in relation to specific issues,
was updated as of 21 March 2022, the date on which the Bank's Board of Directors approved it.
The Report takes into account the "2021 Annual Report - 9th report on the application of the Corporate Governance
Code" sent to all the Chairmen of Italian listed companies and for information to the Managing Director and the Chairman
of the Board of Statutory Auditors, by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Italian Stock Exchange.
1.0 ISSUER'S PROFILE
With over a century of banking tradition behind it, combined with independence, reliability and confidentiality, Banca
Finnat specialises in providing investment and advisory services to private and institutional clients.
The high specialisation and professionalism set it apart in the Italian banking scene: directly and with other Group
companies it offers a wide range of financial services and products ranging from Private Banking to Consulting, from
Fiduciary Activities to Family Office, from Real Estate and management of Real Estate Funds to Advisory & Corporate
Finance and services for Institutional Investors.
To supplement the investment services, which play a central role in the Bank's activities, traditional banking services
are also provided.
The Bank has adopted a traditional administration and control model, comprising two bodies appointed by the
Shareholders' Meeting: the Board of Directors (with 10 Directors), the central body in the corporate governance system,
exclusively in charge of managing and providing strategic supervision of the Bank and the Group and the Board of
Statutory Auditors with oversight functions over the administration and compliance with the law and with the Articles
of Association.
The Board of Directors, also in accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter,
“the Code”), established four internal Committees, namely: Risk Committee, Appointments Committee, Remuneration
Committee and Related Party Committee; the first three consisting of a majority of Independent Directors and the latter
exclusively by Independent Directors.
The independent audit of the accounts is assigned to a specialised company (KPMG S.p.A.) registered in the specific
Register, appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting for the 2020/2028 nine-year period, on the motivated proposal of the
Board of Statutory Auditors.
The Supervisory Body under Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 is appointed by the Board of Directors.
Banca Finnat is the group leader of the Banca Finnat S.p.A. Group which at 31 December 2021 is constituted as follows.

Compared to 31 December 2020, the structure of the Group has changed following the transaction carried out by the
Bank which increased its equity investment in InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. and the voluntary liquidation of PREVIRA INVEST S.p.A.
(in liquidation). In addition to the aforementioned equity investments, from July 2021, the Bank also fully consolidates
the BFE Revalue Fund, a wholly owned structured entity.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

232
The business model of the Banca Finnat Group is based on the concept of social responsibility, on the relationship of
trust built over time with all stakeholders and on the ability to generate shared value, with growing attention to
environmental, social and governance aspects (ESG factors).
This commitment is reflected not only in the daily work of all the professionals who are part of the Group but also in
the many activities at the service of customers: the importance of pursuing sustainable growth and development
opportunities that can have a positive impact on the Bank, the Group and the community is widespread and shared
within the Group.
At the date of this report and having regard to the size and complexity of the Bank, the same is not required to draft a
non-financial statement.
Based on the capitalisation and turnover data held by Consob, pursuant to Article 2-ter of Consob Regulation no.
11971/1999, as amended by Consob Resolution no. 20621 of 10 October 2018, Banca Finnat was classified as a Small
Medium Enterprise (SME) and is included in the list published on the Consob website (http://www.consob.it/web/area-
pubblica/emittenti-quotati-pmi).
Having regard to the definitions indicated in the Corporate Governance Code of "large company" and "company with
concentrated ownership", Banca Finnat does not fall within the criterion of "large company" as it did not have a
capitalisation exceeding 1 billion euro in the last open market day of each of the three previous calendar years, and
neither does it fall within the criterion of "companies with concentrated ownership" as there are no shareholders'
agreements in place.

objectives.
Banca Finnat has adopted a traditional corporate governance model, with a Board of Statutory Auditors operating
alongside the Board of Directors. This is a model that over time has shown its effectiveness and consistency with the
specific characteristics of the Bank, also thanks to progressive refinements dictated by the development of the business
model and strategies, also functional to the maintenance of an effective control system. In this sense, in the last decade,
new internal and internal committees have been gradually activated, which have supported the Board of Directors and

Diversity policies
Article 13 of the Bank's Articles of Association provides that the appointment of the Board of Directors takes place
through the presentation of lists formulated in such a way as to ensure equal access and the presence of the least
represented gender among the relative members.
In particular, the 2020 Budget Law provided for a different quota reserved to the least represented gender equal of "at
least two fifths" and established that this distribution criterion is applied for "six consecutive terms".
The current composition of the Board and the Board of Statutory Auditors as appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of
30 April 2021 complies with these provisions.

Maximum number of offices held in other companies
The Board of Directors approved the Guidelines on the optimal quantitative composition of the Board, which indicate
the limits to the maximum number of offices held in other companies pursuant to Art. 17 of Italian Ministerial Decree
no. 169/2020. The current composition of the Board of Directors complies with the limits indicated therein.
4.4 OPERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On 16 December 2021 the Board of Directors of the Bank approved the update of a Regulation, in order to govern its
composition and operation, in compliance, among other things, with the Supervisory Provisions on the corporate
governance of banks and of the Corporate Governance Code; on the other hand, the mission and tasks of the body are
detailed in the "Organisational functional chart".
The Regulation is divided into three parts.
The first part, of a more technical nature, which sets out the recipients of the Regulation, the purposes and scope of its
application, as well as the definitions used in the same.
On the other hand, the second part focuses on the composition of the Board of Directors, and in particular on the
appointment of Directors, then detailing the general principles that govern the appointment process and the definition
of this process, both when the Directors are appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting and when the Board directly do so
through co-optation.
In compliance with the Corporate Governance Provisions and CONSOB Regulation no. 17221/2010, the Regulation
provides for the Board to establish within itself - with preliminary, proposing, consultative and monitoring functions -
the following Committees (for details, please refer to section 6):
a) Remuneration Committee;
b) Risk Committee;
c) Appointment Committee;
d) Related Parties Committee.
In order to ensure efficient coordination between the activities of the Committees and those of the Board, the Regulation
sets out: (i) a deadline, normally of no less than two days before the date set for the Board meeting, to set the meeting
of the Committees; and (ii) that the Chairmen of the Committees promptly inform the Chairman of the Board of the
outcome of the meetings held, as well as of any issues that may have arisen that may require further investigation by
the Board, by means of a summary note, which will then be promptly made available to Directors and Statutory Auditors,
by publication on a specific consultation and archiving platform.
The second part of the Regulations, relating to the composition, then concludes with the enunciation of the discipline of
some events connected with the office of Director, such as training, any reasons for suspension and forfeiture of office,
events that have occurred and renewals, as well as typical obligations of the mandate, such as the prohibition of
competition and of interlocking, as well as the obligation of confidentiality to which the Directors are required.
Finally, the third part of the Regulation concerns the actual functioning of the body.
With specific reference to pre-meeting information, the Regulations provide for the Chairman to ensure that the Directors
are sent the documentation supporting the resolutions of the Board or, at least, an initial information on the matters to
be discussed in advance. For the purpose of providing correct information, the documentation relating to the items on
the agenda is made available at the time of convocation and in any case well in advance of the date of the board
meeting, usually by the fifth day prior to the date set for the meeting, except in cases of urgency, when the
documentation is made available as soon as possible upon notice by e-mail.
The supporting documentation is made available on the consultation and archiving platform, which guarantees the
necessary confidentiality, and each Director or Auditor receives personal credentials for access to the platform from the
competent Bank structures.

245
The Directors and Statutory Auditors are notified in advance by email of the publication of the documents on the platform
and of subsequent updates.
The supporting documentation distributed to Directors and Statutory Auditors is kept in the records of the Board by the
Secretary of the Board.
This last part also regulates how the minutes of the meetings are held.
A special report is drawn up for each meeting of the Board, signed by the chairman and the secretary of the meeting
(or by the Notary, in the cases provided for by current legislation). These minutes, which must be appropriate for allowing
a reconstruction of the progress of the debate and the various positions expressed and which must illustrate in detail
the decision making process, also taking into account the reasons behind the decisions, are brought to the attention of
the Directors and of the Board of Statutory Auditors in good time before the next Board meeting, and remain available
for consultation on request by each of the Directors or Statutory Auditors.
The minutes are submitted for the approval of the Board of Directors at the first useful meeting.
During 2021, 21 meetings of the Board of Directors were held with an average duration of approximately 1.40 hours.
For the year 2022, the Board of Directors approved the calendar of the main corporate events and made it available on
the bank's website in the Agenda and Documents section at the following address
https://www.bancafinnat.it/it/documentazione/19/Agenda-e-Documenti-Sito-Istituzionale and disclosed to the market.
In the first months of 2022, three meetings have already been held and the Board has scheduled another four meetings.
TIME AVAILABILITY
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of Italian Ministerial Decree no. 169/2020, each Director of the Bank is required
to dedicate adequate time to the performance of their office and to promptly notify the Board of Directors - in the event
of supervening events - of offices held in other Companies, businesses, organisations, other work and professional
activities carried out and other situations or facts pertaining to the professional sphere capable of affecting their time
availability.
In this regard, on 31 March 2021, the Board of Directors approved an addendum to the Report on the qualitative and
quantitative composition of the Board of Directors (published on the Bank's website on the same date), which provides
for the recommendations of the Appointment Committee on the availability of time necessary for the performance of
the office of Director and member of internal board Committees at the Bank for candidates for the office.
At the time of appointment, each representative undertakes - by means of a substitutive declaration of a notary deed -
to dedicate the time necessary for the performance of the office.
In the meetings of 25 May 2021 and 14 June 2021, the Board of Directors verified the requirements of each company
representative, including the availability of time to devote to the office held.
4.5 ROLE OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
By virtue of current legislation and the Regulation of the Board of Directors approved by the Board of 16 December
2021, the Chairman has the task of organising the work of the Board and of liaising between executive and non-
executive Directors, promoting the proper functioning of the body, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the board debate,
ensuring the balance of powers and neutrally promoting the considered participation of Directors, in particular, non-
executive Directors, soliciting their active participation in the discussion and resolution on the matters being discussed.
In addition, as required by the Board Regulations, each internal Board Committee is required to provide a summary note
on the activity carried out which is made available to the first useful Board meeting following the meeting of the
Committee.
The Chairman endeavours to ensure that the resolutions reached by the Board are the result of an adequate discussion
and the conscious and reasoned contribution of all its members.

The Chairman invites the assistant General Manager and, depending on the items on the agenda, the heads of the
control functions and strategic executives, including from the subsidiaries, to the Board meetings.
During the year, the Chairman invited the directors and statutory auditors to the following induction and training sessions:
- on 2 February 2021, a course was held on the Bank's business plan, subsequently repeated for the new board
on 12 November 2021;
- on 4 December 2021, a refresher course was held on anti-money laundering.
These sessions were held remotely in compliance with company's provisions due to the Covid-19 emergency. For the
year 2022, meetings are scheduled to take place on the issues of Sustainability, Group Governance and in particular on
the activities of the subsidiary Investire SGR SPA, the Business Plan and the Prudential Control Process.
In the exercise of his functions, the Chairman ensures, with the support of the Appointment Committee, that the Self-
Assessment is carried out effectively and that the manner in which it is conducted is consistent, transparent and
adequate with respect to the degree of complexity of the Board's work, as well as taking the necessary corrective
measures to deal with any shortcomings identified.
In particular, during 2021, the Chairman oversaw the self-assessment process taking into account the expiry of the
Board's three-year mandate on the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2020.
During 2022, the Chairman has updated the Regulations for the self-assessment process (meeting of 25 January 2022)
and with regard to this point, please refer to section 7 of this Report.

According to the provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Secretary is entrusted with the task of (i)
supporting the Chairman in his activities, (ii) drawing up the minutes of the meetings, and (iii) archiving the

their own competence, and transmit the documentation referred to in the items on the agenda to the Secretary through
the Legal and Corporate Department of the Bank.
The Secretary must have a level of professionalism adequate to the operational and dimensional complexity of the Bank.

As required by Recommendation 5 of the Code, the independent Directors met in the absence of the other Directors on
9 March 2022.
The meeting was chaired by Prof. Bianchi and concerned Compliance activities
4.7 LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
Up to 30 April 2021, even if the conditions had not been met, the role of Lead Independent Director was assigned to
Mr. Marco Tofanelli.
The Board of Directors currently in office did not consider introducing the role of Lead Independent Director, as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors (a) is not the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer nor is he the holder of significant
management powers; (b) he is not the person who controls, even jointly, the Issuer. Furthermore, the Issuer does not
qualify as a "Large company" (Recommendation 13).
The main person responsible for the management of the Issuer as well as the main shareholder is, in fact, the Managing
Director.
5.0 MANAGEMENT OF CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Bank has an internal procedure for the management of disclosure to the public of significant events and
circumstances, with the aim of complying with the disclosure requirements pursuant to Art. 114 of Italian Legislative

6.0 INTERNAL BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board of 30 April 2021 established the Appointments Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the Risk Committee,
mostly composed of independent non-executive Directors.
In determining the composition of the aforementioned Committees, the Board considered and avoided the concentration
of offices held by each member.
The Board determined the composition of the Committees by considering the competence and experience of the relative
members.
The functions of the Committees have been assigned in accordance with the provisions of Bank of Italy Circular no.
285/2013 and the Code.
The functions assigned to the Committees are not reserved to the Board.
Each Committee approved its own Regulations which govern the appointment, duration, functioning, flows to the
Committee, flows to Corporate Bodies, meetings and minutes.
It should also be noted that the Regulations of the Board of Directors (see section 4.4) also govern, among other things,
the establishment and functioning of the internal Board Committees.
In particular, said Regulation provides for:
- the Committees to meet on the basis of a calendar approved by the Board of Directors within the first 30 days
of each calendar year - usually at least two days before the meeting of the Board of Directors - and whenever
deemed appropriate by the respective Chairman.
- In order to ensure efficient coordination between the activities of the Committees and those of the Board, the
Chairmen of the Committees - by means of a short note - promptly inform the Chairman of the Board of the
outcome of the meetings held, as well as of any issues arising that may require further investigation by the
Board.
This summary note is made available at the time of convocation and in any case well in advance of the date
of the board meeting, usually by the fifth day prior to the date set for the meeting, except in cases of urgency,
when the documentation is made available as soon as possible upon notice by e-mail.
The Board supporting documentation is made available on the consultation and archiving platform, which
guarantees the necessary confidentiality, and each Director or Auditor receives personal credentials for access
to the platform from the competent Bank structures. The Directors and Statutory Auditors are notified in advance
by email of the publication of the documents on the platform and of subsequent updates.
Additional committees
Within the Board of Directors, the Related Parties Committee was established, made up exclusively of independent non-
executive Directors in compliance with Consob Regulation no. 17221. The duties and functions of the Related Parties
Committee are indicated in a specific regulation.
7.0 SELF-ASSESSMENT AND SUCCESSION OF DIRECTORS - APPOINTMENTS COMMITTEE
7.1 SELF-ASSESSMENT AND SUCCESSION OF DIRECTORS
In view of the expiry of its mandate with the approval of the financial Statements at 31 December 2021, on 25 January
2021 the Bank's Board of Directors analysed the results of the self-assessment relating to the year 2020. The self-
assessment process on the functioning of the Board of Directors was broken down into the following phases: i) definition
of a structured questionnaire in five sections sent to the members of the Board of Directors in office; ii) collection of
completed questionnaires; iii) processing of the results in aggregate form; iv) identification of the guidelines that have
emerged; v) drafting of a report, submitted for prior examination to the Appointment Committee and the Board of
Directors (25 January 2020).
The questionnaire was filled in by 10 out of 11 Directors.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

252
The results of the self-assessment can be summarised as follows:
1) the functioning of the Board was positively assessed;
2) the need to further improve the timing of sending preparatory documentation for Board meetings is stressed;
3) with regard to the composition of the Board of Directors, the following were suggested: a) greater differentiation in
terms of age; b) a careful assessment of the legislation that will apply to the new Board for the purpose of identifying
the members of the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors; c) to take into account digital and
sustainability issues with respect to the competences of the new Directors; d) the usefulness of the induction sessions
was confirmed, with requests for intensifications in relation to issues related to internal procedures and accounting
systems.
Once the self-assessment process for the year 2020 was completed, the Appointment Committee prepared the
guidelines on the optimal qualitative and quantitative composition of the Board of Directors of Banca Finnat, approved
by the Board on 19 March 2021 and made available to the Shareholders on the Bank's website.
Shareholders were invited to consider what is illustrated in the aforementioned “Report on the Qualitative and
Quantitative Composition” and to take into consideration the requirements and criteria set out in Decree of the Ministry
of Economy and Finance no. 169 of 23 November 2020 for the members of the administrative bodies of banks.
During the current year, the Board of Directors reviewed and updated the Regulations of the self-assessment process of
the corporate bodies of Banca Finnat and on 16 December 2021 it approved the start of the self-assessment process,
and entrusted the management of the process to internal staff, identified by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, on
the proposal of the Appointment Committee. In particular, the Secretary of the Board of Directors and the Head of the
Legal Department were appointed as the responsible persons, taking into account the needs of neutrality, objectivity
and independence of judgement that must characterise the process.
In particular, since this is the first year of the Board's three-year period, greater importance has been given to aspects
such as information flows, the quality of meetings, the degree of involvement of individual members, preconditions for
the proper functioning of the board in the years to come.
With reference to the composition of the Board, the self-assessment was directed above all to any training programs
useful for increasing members' skills.
By resolution of 10 February 2022, the Board resolved to use only the questionnaire and not other interview techniques.
The Questionnaire for the 2021 financial year was therefore adequately expanded and implemented.
The process was conducted in compliance with the provisions of the Self-Assessment Regulation which, in turn,
implements the provisions of the Supervisory Provisions as well as of the Code.
The outcome of the self-assessment process for the year 2021, considered as a whole, highlights how the Board of
Directors of Banca Finnat Euramerica is a well-functioning, balanced corporate body with an adequate internal
organisation, sensitive to constant updating and improvement, showing in this sense full awareness of the issues on
which greater efforts need to be made, for growth and to adapt to the relevant sector regulations.
The Bank's Board of Directors currently considers itself fully adequate in terms of composition, both quantitative and
qualitative.
The functioning of the Board is assessed to be more than adequate thanks to the high commitment, also in terms of
time and availability, of the Directors, which allows them to manage significant workloads, also in consideration of the
need to support the discussion of business and strategy, the examination and in-depth study of multiple constantly
evolving compliance and regulatory issues.

The information flows and the circulation of information have improved, with adequate and complete timing and format
of the documentation preparatory to the work of the Board of Directors.
The internal Board Committees are perceived as an effective control and monitoring tool for the most delicate matters
within the Board's competence and act as a stimulus for an open and transparent debate.
Minutes of board and committee meetings are considered timely, complete and articulated, suitable for reproducing the
work and debate of the bodies.
The Directors already in office in the previous year have shown great awareness of the aspects on which improvements
have occurred compared to the previous mandate, as well as on the aspects still to be refined or the issues to be
explored, also in consideration of the recent renewal of the administrative body.
The activities to be implemented are:
provide for induction sessions on issues such as related parties, conflicts of interest, fair value policy, risk
management;
prioritising issues related to the assumption and management of credit risk and in general within the context
of the Board's discussion;
improve the timeliness of pre-meeting information by sending dedicated emails whenever documents relating
to items on the agenda are made available;
devote adequate time to discuss and study strategic issues and market evolution;
giving increasing importance to “ESG” and sustainability issues in general, both in terms of non-financial
information and in terms of training.
With regard to this last point, the attention that the Bank is paying to the ESG issue is also reflected in the self-assessment
process of the Board of Directors, which takes into consideration what is highlighted on the matter by both the Corporate
Governance Committee and CONSOB, and is part of the ESG framework, where governance is precisely one of the criteria
for assessing sustainability.
With regard to the succession of Directors, it should be noted that the current Board of Directors of the Bank was
appointed at the shareholders' meeting of 29 April 2021 and is therefore at the beginning of its three-year term which
will expire with the approval of the Financial Statements at 31 December 2023. Therefore, on the occasion of the three-
year renewal, the Appointments Committee will draw up its own Guidelines, taking into account what is indicated above
by the Corporate Governance Committee.
At the date of this Report, having mainly regard to the Bank's shareholding structure, the Board has not deemed it
necessary to approve a succession plan.

Functions of the Appointment Committee
The Committee performs support functions for the Board of Directors in the following processes:
1. self-assessment of the bodies in accordance with the provisions of Part One, Title IV, Chapter 1, Section VI of
Circular no. 285 of the Bank of Italy, the Corporate Governance Code, the Regulation of the self-assessment process of
the corporate bodies;
2. appointment or co-optation of directors as specified in paragraph 2.1, Section IV, Chapter I, Title IV, Part One of
Circular no. 285 of Bank of Italy.
Within the process of appointment of Directors by the Shareholders' Meeting, the Committee supports the Board in:
i. prior identification of the qualitative and quantitative composition considered optimal by the Board
of Directors and its Committees in relation to the objectives identified in paragraph 1, Section IV,
Chapter I, Title IV, Part One of Circular 285, identifying and motivating the candidates' theoretical
profile deemed appropriate, setting a target in terms of the quota of the least represented gender
(as better described in paragraph 4.2 below);
ii. subsequent verification of the correspondence between the qualitative and quantitative
composition considered optimal and the actual composition resulting from the appointment
process; this verification is carried out as part of the process of assessing the suitability of
representatives to be carried out pursuant to Article 26 of the Consolidated Banking Law.
In this regard, it should be noted that, in the event of co-optation of Directors by the Board of Directors, the consultative

6. assessment of the revocation of Directors if the conditions referred to in Article 23 of Italian Ministerial Decree
no. 169/2020 are met.
The Bank's Articles of Association do not require the outgoing Board of Directors to present a list and therefore the
Bank's Appointment Committee does not have the function of assisting the Board in this activity.
During the 2021 financial year, the Committee met 12 times; the meetings lasted an average of 35 minutes.
During 2021, the Committee has:

and quantitative composition considered optimal and the actual one resulting from the process of appointing the
corporate officers of the Bank and of InvestiRE SGR;
5. supported both the Bank and InvestiRE SGR in the self-assessment process of the Bank's Board of Directors and its
Committees;

consultants.
8.0 REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS - REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Shareholders' Meeting of Banca Finnat on 30 April 2021 approved the remuneration policies in favour of Directors,
employees and collaborators not linked by an employment relationship.
In its capacity as parent company, the Bank has drawn up the remuneration and incentive policies applicable to all
investee companies, taking into account their size, the type of activity carried out and the risk involved for the Group;
each company is required to ensure the correct implementation of the rules, without prejudice to the applicability of
any sector regulations.
The Group's remuneration policy is based on careful cost control, for the benefit of company profitability, and aimed at
enhancing merit and motivating results.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors consists solely of the fixed component, linked to participation
in board meetings and any internal board committees.
The remuneration of employees - including that of the General Manager and of the other Executives with strategic
responsibility (assistant General Manager and Deputy General Manager) - includes an all-inclusive annual fixed part
(RAL), and a short-term variable part, linked to the degree of achievement the performance objectives defined in the
annual incentive system, without any guaranteed minimum.
For employees, other forms of variable remuneration (e.g. non-competition and stability agreements) are assigned to
identified subjects to strengthen their loyalty to the Bank, and safeguard their positions from possible offers from
external competitors.
The typical nature of the contractual scheme for non-employed personnel (Financial Advisors linked to the Bank by
agency contracts or independent collaborators), on the other hand, generally provides only forms of fixed remuneration.
With reference to the Remuneration and Incentive Policies for the year 2022, in particular it is noted that among the
amendments and additions:
• the principle of equal opportunities and the integration of sustainability and ESG principles among the inspiring
principles have been appropriately explained;
• the MBO plan introduces qualitative and quantitative objectives connected to ESG factors, differentiated
according to the level and role of the various professional roles and the scope of intervention such as, by way of example,
objectives on activities involving the SGR as a whole, objectives for the funds participating in the GRESB, objectives for
any future funds that will be classified according to Art. 8 and 9 of the SFDR regulation on the transparency of
sustainability information, which have specific ESG objectives and related transparency obligations;
For more details, please refer to the Remuneration Report prepared pursuant to Art. 123 - ter of the Consolidated
Financial Law for the year 2021, which was published in accordance with the law on the website www.bancafinnat.it
in the Corporate Governance section.

9.0 INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - CONTROL AND RISKS COMMITTEE
In line with current legislation and in line with the indications of the Code, the Bank has adopted an Internal Control and
Risk Management System (hereinafter "SCIGR") appropriate for continuously monitoring the typical risks of corporate
activities.
The SCIGR is therefore the organic set of organisational safeguards, procedures and behavioural rules aimed at allowing,
through an adequate process of identification, measurement, management and monitoring of the main risks, a healthy
and correct management of the management consistent with the objectives set. This system is an integral part of
operations and affects all business sectors and structures, each called upon, to the extent of its competence, to ensure
constant and continuous monitoring of risks.
The SCIGR responds to the need to ensure a sound and prudent management of the Bank's and of the group's activities,
reconciling, at the same time, the achievement of corporate objectives, the correct and timely monitoring of risks and
operations based on criteria of correctness, a system which also complies with the provisions of article 6 of the Code.
Banca Finnat's SCIGR, defined by the Board of Directors and subject to periodic monitoring, consists of:
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
258
a) line controls: periodic systematic checks on a sample of information, carried out by the managers of the individual
operating units, aimed at ensuring the correct performance of the transactions carried out by the same production
structures or incorporated in the procedures or carried out as part of back office activities;
b) risk management controls: controls carried out by the heads of the individual operating units and by the Risk
Management Organisational Unit, connected to the process of defining risk measurement methods, concerning the
verification of compliance with the limits assigned to the various operating functions and the control of the
consistency of the transactions of the individual production areas with the risk/return objectives assigned for the
individual types of risk (credit, market, operational);
c) compliance checks: checks carried out by the Compliance Organisational Unit on the compliance of transactions
with the provisions of the law, the provisions of the Supervisory Authorities and the Bank's self-regulation rules;
d) anti-money laundering controls: controls carried out by the Anti-Money Laundering Organisational Unit on the
compliance of transactions with the provisions of the law and the provisions of the Supervisory Authorities on anti-
money laundering and financial fight against terrorism and the consequent self-regulation rules of the Bank;
e) internal audit activity: activity carried out by the Internal Auditing function, aimed at checking the regularity of the
Bank's transactions and risk trends, assessing the functionality of the overall internal control system and identifying
anomalous trends, breaches of procedures and regulation.
The Bank's SCIGR also extends to subsidiaries.
The Bank has defined in a specific Policy the guidelines and the fundamental values on which its Internal Control System
is based.
The key principles are:
- corporate activity must comply with the applicable internal and external rules and be traceable and documentable;
- the assignment and exercise of powers in the context of a decision-making process must be combined with positions
of responsibility and with the relevance and/or critical issues of the underlying economic transactions;
- there must be no subjective identity among those who take or implement decisions, those who must provide
accounting evidence of the resolved transactions and those who are required by law and internal procedures to carry
out checks on them;
- Confidentiality and compliance with the legislation for the protection of privacy must be guaranteed.
In accordance with current legislation, responsibility for the Internal Control System lies with the Board of Directors, a
body responsible for: (i) establishing its direction, strategic guidelines and risk management policies; (ii) approve the
organisational structure of the Bank, ensuring that tasks and responsibilities are allocated in a clear and appropriate
manner and periodically checking their adequacy and effective functioning, ensuring that the main business risks are
identified and appropriately managed; (iii) ensure that the control functions have an appropriate degree of autonomy
within the structure and are equipped with adequate resources for proper functioning.
In order to incorporate the recommendations of the Code also with regard to internal controls, the Board:
a) has defined the guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, so that the main risks affecting
the Bank and its subsidiaries are correctly identified, as well as adequately measured, managed and monitored,
also determining, through the approval of the Risk Appetite Framework, the degree of compatibility of these risks
with the Bank's management consistent with the strategic objectives identified, both from an annual and long-
term perspective;
b) periodically assesses the adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System with respect to the Bank's
characteristics and the risk profile assumed, as well as its effectiveness; this assessment takes place mainly
through: (i) the examination, carried out with the support of the Risks Committee and on a quarterly basis, of the
results of the tableau de bord prepared by the heads of the control functions and on an annual basis, of the results
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
259
of the Annual Reports again prepared by the heads of the control functions; (ii) the approval of the work plans
prepared by the heads of the corporate control functions.
The Bank also carries out management and coordination activities for the companies of the group through:
a) strategic control over the development of the various business areas in which the group operates and the risks
incumbent on the proprietary portfolio. This involves control both on the expansion of the activities carried out by
the companies of the group and on the acquisition and disposal policies of the companies of the group; strategic
coordination is mainly implemented through the presence, on the Boards of Directors of each subsidiary, of some
representatives designated by the Board;
b) a management control aimed at ensuring the maintenance of economic, financial and equity balance conditions
both of the individual companies of the group and of the group as a whole. These control needs are met through
the preparation of plans, programs and budgets (corporate and group) and through the analysis of periodic
situations, interim accounts, financial statements of individual companies and consolidated financial statements
pertaining to the entire group. Management coordination is implemented through the intervention of the
Organisational Planning and Management Control Unit which handles relations with the bodies/functions of the
subsidiaries;
d) a technical-operational control aimed at assessing the various risk profiles brought to the group by the individual
subsidiaries.
The Managing Director is responsible for implementing the strategic guidelines, the RAF and the risk governance policies
defined by the Board of Directors; in particular he:
a) facilitates the development and dissemination at all levels of an integrated risk culture in relation to the various
types of risks and extended to the entire Bank;
b) ensures the implementation of strategic guidelines, of the Risk Appetite Framework (“RAF”) and of the risk
governance policies defined by the Board of Directors;
c) defines and manages the implementation of the risk management process, ensuring its consistency with the risk
appetite and risk governance policies and establishes operational limits for the assumption of the various types of
risk, consistent with the risk appetite;
d) establishes the responsibilities of the corporate structures and functions involved in the risk management process,
so that potential conflicts of interest are prevented; it also ensures that the relevant activities are directed by qualified
personnel, with an adequate degree of independent judgement and with adequate experience and knowledge with
regard to the tasks to be performed;
e) defines the internal information flows aimed at ensuring full knowledge and governance of risk factors to the
corporate bodies and corporate control functions and verification of compliance with the RAF;
f) puts in place the initiatives and interventions necessary to continuously guarantee the completeness, adequacy,
functionality and reliability of the internal control system and brings the results of the checks carried out to the
attention of the Board of Directors;
g) ensures correct, timely and secure management of information for accounting, management and reporting purposes.
Main characteristics of the risk management and internal control system in relation to the financial reporting process
The Internal Control System in relation to the financial reporting process is considered an integral part of the risk
management system.
This System is aimed at guaranteeing the credibility, accuracy, reliability and timeliness of the financial information that
the Bank publishes periodically, meaning by:
Credibility information that has the characteristics of correctness and compliance with generally accepted
accounting standards and meets the requirements set out by the laws and regulations applied;
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
260
Accuracy: information with characteristics of neutrality and precision. Information is considered neutral if it is free of
preconceived distortions aimed at influencing the decision-making process of its users in order to
obtain a predetermined result;
Reliability: information that has the characteristics of clarity and completeness such as to induce informed
investment decisions by investors. The disclosure is considered clear if it facilitates the understanding
of complex company aspects without, however, becoming excessive and superfluous;
Timeliness: information that meets the deadlines set for its publication.
With reference to the measures adopted by the Bank to guarantee the characteristics of credibility, accuracy, reliability
and timeliness of the financial information, reference is made to the activities carried out in relation to the definition of
the Governance and Control Model of the Financial Reporting Manager, drawn up pursuant to Art. 154 bis of the
Consolidated Financial Law, which is a necessary prerequisite to guarantee a constant and complete view of the company
areas that are actually relevant for the purposes of preparing the corporate, individual and consolidated accounting
documents.
The definition of the Governance and Control Model of the Financial Reporting Manager of the Banca Finnat Group was
guided by:
• the preliminary identification of a recognised and widespread comparison model;
• the comparison with reference practices defined or referred to by institutional bodies;
• the comparison with national and international best practices adopted by companies comparable to the Banca
Finnat Group.
The model taken as a reference by the Bank, which constitutes an internationally recognised method of analysis and
assessment of the Internal Control System, is that established by the CoSO Report - "Internal Control Integrated
Framework" - developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission.
As part of the activities carried out, the roles and responsibilities of the corporate functions involved in the control and
management system of existing risks in relation to the financial reporting process of the Bank and the Group were duly
identified.
The correct functioning of the control and management system of existing risks in relation to the financial reporting
process is a preliminary process and cannot be separated from the precise identification of the roles and responsibilities
of the corporate functions involved.
In this regard, the Bank has formalised the internal information flows and has provided itself with a synoptic framework
of the relations between the Financial Reporting Manager and the other corporate functions.
In fact, in compliance with the provisions of Art. 154 bis of the Consolidated Financial Law, the Bank has adopted the
role of the Financial Reporting Manager responsible for preparing the corporate accounting documents who performs
the following tasks:
a) verification of the adequacy and effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures for the
preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements and the condensed half-year financial
statements;
b) verification that documents are drawn up in compliance with the applicable international accounting standards;
c) verification of the correspondence of the documents with the results of the books and accounting records;
d) verification of the suitability of the documents to provide a true and correct representation of the equity, economic
and financial situation of the Bank and of the set of companies included in the consolidation;
e) verification, for the individual and consolidated financial statements, that the management report includes a
reliable analysis of the performance and results of operations, as well as of the situation of the Bank and of the
companies included in the consolidation, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties to which
they are exposed.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

261
To carry out the activities and to implement the necessary controls, the Financial Reporting Manager makes use of the
control functions and of the other Organisational Units of the Bank and of the Group and in particular:
a. of the Internal Auditing function, which provides elements and information in relation to the critical areas
identified within the Group during its activity, providing its judgements of adequacy on the various entities of the
Group and the necessary improvement measures;
b. of the Organisation Service, which provides the necessary support for the formalisation of processes, risks and
sensitive controls;
c. of the Group companies that provide the necessary data and information and report any procedure anomalies
and malfunctions identified in the course of their activities, which could have a significant impact on the economic
and financial situation of the Bank or the Group.
The Financial Reporting Manager reports to the Board every six months on the activity carried out and the checks carried
out with their own report.
During the 2021 financial year, the Board of Directors approved the Work Plan prepared by the Internal Audit Function
after consulting the Board of Statutory Auditors and assessed the Bank's internal control and risk management system,
deeming it adequate to the characteristics of the activity carried out by the Bank itself.
9.1 DIRECTOR IN CHARGE OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

management of the internal control and risk management system, constantly verifying its adequacy
and effectiveness;
c) ensures the adaptation of this system to the dynamics of the operating conditions and of the legislative

and for the assumption of risk activities with Related Parties" ("Regulation") already adopted in 2013 pursuant to Art.
2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code, of Consob Regulation no. 17221/2010 and of Title V, Chapter 5, of the New Prudential
Supervisory Provisions for Banks pursuant to Circular no. 263 of the Bank of Italy. The aforementioned Regulation is
available on the Company's website (www.bancafinnat.it), under Investor Relations/Corporate Governance.
The Regulation's objective is to define the competences and rules governing the identification, approval and
implementation of related party transactions (including, first of all, Related Parties, as well as other subjects, included in
the category in order to fulfil the supervisory provisions for banks set out by the Bank of Italy), carried out by the Issuer
or by a company of the Banca Finnat banking group, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2391-bis of the Italian
Civil Code, the CONSOB Regulation adopted through Resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010), as subsequently amended
and supplemented, and by Part Three, Chapter 11, of Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 including "Supervision Provisions for

illustrated below.
The identification of the Related Parties is carried out through a specific questionnaire. Signature of the questionnaire
requires the Related Subject to promptly notify the Bank of any updates.
In the presence of a possible transaction, the individual Organisational Units (“OU”) ascertain whether the counterparty
is a Related Subject or otherwise. In the event of a positive response, the competent OU sends without delay to the
Legal OU, to the Compliance OU and to the Risk Control OU the documentation relating to the possible transaction, for
verification according to the procedures set out in the aforementioned organisational process.
For the purposes of applying the definition of transactions with Related Parties, the assessment takes into account the
substance of the relationship and not just its legal form.
The Related Parties Committee, made up exclusively of Independent and unrelated Directors, is responsible for issuing:
- with regard to Transactions of Greater Importance, to the Board of Directors, its binding, prior and motivated opinion
on the Bank's interest in carrying out Related Party transactions, as well as on the convenience and substantial
correctness of the related conditions;

a personal interest in the transaction pursuant to Art. 2391 of the Italian Civil Code with reference to a specific related
party transaction, the analytical opinion may be provided by the other Independent Directors.

independent experts of its choice and represent to the Board of Directors any gaps or inadequacies identified in the pre-
resolution phase. The Committee checks in advance the independence of the experts it intends to make use of, taking
into account the reports indicated in paragraph 2.4 of Annex 4 to Consob Regulation no. 17221/2010 and subsequent
amendments and additions.
The Committee expresses a motivated binding opinion on the Bank's interest in completing the transaction, as well as
on the convenience and substantial correctness of the related conditions. The opinion delivered is attached to the
minutes of the Committee meeting.
The minutes of the resolutions of the Board of Directors contain adequate reasons on:
- the interest in carrying out the transaction as well as the economic convenience for the Bank and the substantial
correctness of the related conditions;
- the reasons for any discrepancies, in terms of economic-contractual conditions and other characteristic profiles of the
transaction, with respect to the standard or market conditions; suitable elements to support this motivation must be
shown in the documentation accompanying the resolution.
If the proposal to be submitted to the Shareholders' Meeting is approved by the Board of Directors in the presence of a
contrary opinion from the Related Parties Committee referred to in Article 5, without prejudice to the provisions of
Articles 2368, 2369 and 2373 of the Civil Code and without prejudice to any statutory provisions required by law, the
Shareholders' Meeting may in any case resolve to carry out the transaction, except in cases in which sufficient unrelated
shareholders present at the meeting representing 10% of the share capital with voting rights vote against it.
As soon as they are approved, Transactions of Greater Relevance relevant for the purposes of the relevant regulations
are disclosed to the public by means of an information document drawn up in compliance with Annex 4 of the CONSOB
Regulation on transactions with related parties.
The information document referred to in the previous paragraph is made available to the public at the registered office
and in the manner indicated in Article 5, paragraph 3, of the CONSOB Regulation within 7 days of the approval of the
transaction by the competent body or, if the competent body decides to submit a contractual proposal, from the moment
in which the contract, even in a preliminary form, is concluded on the basis of the applicable regulations.
Any opinions of Independent Directors and independent experts, in addition to the opinion of the Committee, are
simultaneously made available to the public, attached to the information document or on the Bank's website.
The information document is also prepared if, during the financial year, transactions with the same related subject are
concluded which, although not individually qualifiable as transactions of Greater Importance, are similar to each other
or carried out in execution of a unitary plan and cumulatively exceed the relevance thresholds referred to in Annex 3 to
the CONSOB Regulation on transactions with related parties. In this case, the information document is made available
to the public and to CONSOB in the manner referred to in the preceding paragraphs within 15 days from the approval
of the transaction or from the conclusion of the contract that determines the excess of the significance threshold and
also contains information on aggregate basis on all transactions considered for the purpose of cumulation.

("Minority Auditor") and one alternate auditor, in the progressive order in which they are listed in the list itself, are taken
from the list that is not connected in any way, not even indirectly, with those who submitted or voted for the list referred
to in letter a) above and that received the highest number of votes after the first one. In the event of a tie among two
or more lists, the candidates on the list whose first candidate for the office of Regular Auditor is the eldest shall be
elected.
Should it be necessary to replace a member of the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Alternate Auditor called to serve
shall be the one from the same list as the Auditor requiring replacement and if replacement by such auditor shall not
occur, the subsequent candidate on such list in progressive order or, if this fails to take place and when the Auditor to
be replaced is the Minority Auditor, the first candidate on the minority list that received the second highest number of
votes. It is understood that the replacement shall guarantee compliance with the minimum number of members
registered in the register of statutory auditors who have worked as certified auditors in accordance with the provisions
in force, the pro tempore regulations on gender balance and compliance with the requirements for assuming the position
of Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors.
Should it prove impossible to replace the Minority Auditor by the methods indicated above, the Shareholders’ Meeting
called to fill vacant positions on the Board pursuant to law shall act in a way that allows the election of such auditor in
compliance with the principles established by the Regulations adopted by Consob with resolution no. 11971/1999 and
with the pro tempore regulations in force concerning gender balance, as well as in such a way as to allow the presence
of the minimum number of members registered in the register of statutory according to current regulations. If only one

or no list is submitted, the first three candidates in progressive order shall be elected regular auditors, and the fourth
and fifth candidates or those voted by the Shareholders’ Meeting, respectively, subject to their having achieved the
relative majority of votes expressed by the Shareholders' Meeting, shall be elected alternate auditors.
This is without prejudice to compliance with the pro tempore regulations in force concerning gender balance and the
presence of a minimum number of members registered in the register of statutory auditors who have worked as certified
auditors in accordance with the provisions in force.
11.2 COMPOSITION AND OPERATION (pursuant to Art. 123-bis, paragraph 2 letters d) and d) bis) Consolidated Financial
Law)
The Statutory Auditors remain in office for three financial years and can be re-elected.
The Board of Statutory Auditors currently in office was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 30 April 2021 and will
remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at 31 December 2023.
The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors were all drawn from the single list presented by the relative majority
shareholder Arturo Nattino. As no minority list was presented, Mr. Salvatore Ferri was elected Chairman on the proposal
of the majority shareholder. The Shareholders' Meeting approved the appointment of the Board of Statutory Auditors
with the favourable vote of 93% of the voting capital (equal to 69% of the share capital).
The members in office are: Salvatore Ferri (Chairman), Barbara Fasoli Braccini (standing auditor), Laura Bellicini (standing
auditor), Nicola Pironti di Campagna (alternate auditor) and Monica Petrella (alternate auditor).
The curriculum with the personal and professional characteristics of the Statutory Auditors is available on the Bank's
website www.bancafinnat.it, in the Governance section.
During the year there was a constant exchange of information between the Board of Statutory Auditors and the control
functions of the Bank.
The Board of Statutory Auditors met 21 times in the year 2021, attendance at the meetings was 96%, with an average
duration of approximately 2 hours. During the current year, two meetings have already been held.
The Board of Statutory Auditors attends the meetings of the Risk Committee and has the right to attend the meetings
of the Remuneration Committee, the Appointment Committee and the Related Parties Committee (see section 9.7).
As per the checks carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors on 25 May 2021, the current
composition of the board is adequate to ensure the independence and professionalism of its function.
DIVERSITY CRITERIA AND POLICIES
In relation to the composition of the Control Body, the Bank is required to comply with the provisions of Bank of Italy
Circular no. 285/2013 on corporate governance, the Issuers' Regulation, the Italian Ministerial Decree no. 169/2020 and
the Articles of Association.
As regards the issue of the gender quota, it should be noted that the 2020 Budget Law provided for a reserve in favour
of the less represented gender equal to "at least two fifths" of the members of the Board and established that this
distribution criterion applies to "six consecutive mandates" "starting from the first renewal of the administrative and
control bodies of companies listed on regulated markets following the date of entry into force of this law", which took
place on 1 January 2020. As specified by CONSOB (bulletin of 30 January 2020), the criterion of rounding up to the higher
unit provided for by paragraph 3 of the aforementioned art. 144-undecies.1 of the Issuers' Regulation for corporate
bodies formed by more than three components still applies.
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

275
Therefore, by virtue of current legislation, the Bank complies with the diversity criteria, including gender, in the
composition of the Board of Statutory Auditors; in fact, one third of the standing and alternate members of the Board is
made up of statutory auditors of the less represented gender.
Independence
The Board of Statutory Auditors made its assessments on the basis of the information made available by each Statutory
Auditor, also assessing the circumstances deemed relevant for the purposes of the independence requirement.
At the beginning of its mandate, in the context of its Regulations, the Board identified the quantitative and qualitative
criteria for assessing the significance of the relevant circumstances pursuant to the Code for the purposes of assessing
the independence of directors.
Auditors meeting the independence requisites envisaged by art. 14 of the Fit & Proper Decree, by art. 148, paragraph 3,
of the Consolidated Financial Law, and/or by the Corporate Governance Code, unless otherwise provided by law, are
considered to be independent.
As regards the independence requirements of Statutory Auditors, following the outcome of the audit by the Board of
Statutory Auditors held on 25 May 2021, all the members of the Control Body were found to be independent pursuant
to the Consolidated Financial Law, the Fit & Proper Decree, as well as the recommendations contained in the Corporate
Governance Code, as per the press release issued on the same date.
Remuneration
The remuneration of the Board of Statutory Auditors was approved by the shareholders' meeting of 30 April 2021 for
the 2021/2023 three-year period. Statutory Auditors are entitled to the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by
reason of their office.
Interest management
In its Regulations, the Board of Statutory Auditors provides that each auditor who, on their own behalf or on behalf of
third parties, has an interest in a specific transaction of the Bank, promptly and comprehensively informs the other
auditors and the Chairman of the Board about the nature, terms, origin and scope of their interest.

15. CHANGES SINCE THE END OF THE REFERENCE FINANCIAL YEAR
There have been no changes from the end of the financial year to the date of approval of this report.
16.0 CONSIDERATIONS ON THE LETTER OF 3 DECEMBER 2021 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
COMMITTEE
In the meeting of 16 December 2021, the Chairman of the Board of Directors submitted to the Board and to the Board
of Statutory Auditors the letter of 3 December 2021 from the chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee, Ms.
Lucia Calvosa, as well as the attached Annual Report - 9th Report on the application of the Corporate Governance Code
relating to 2021, the Committee's 11th year of activity, and asked the competent Committees to carry out in-depth
analyses and for their own assessments on the recommendations contained therein. In the subsequent meeting of 25
January 2022, the Board examined the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Committee and the
considerations presented by the Board Committees.
The self-assessment for the year 2021 took these recommendations into account.
In this regard, the following considerations emerged from the Risks Committee, Remuneration Committee and
Appointment Committee:
i. Reiterating the previous recommendations on the integration of sustainability in strategies, in the control
system and in remuneration, which play a central role in the "sustainable success" objective of the new Code,
it is recommended that companies include in their report on corporate governance adequate and concise
information on the methods adopted for its pursuit and on the approach adopted in promoting dialogue with
relevant stakeholders. In this regard, it is recommended to provide summary information on the content of the
policy for dialogue with all shareholders, without prejudice to the opportunity to publish it in full, or at least in its
essential elements, on the company's website.

Given that Banca Finnat, as part of its strategy aimed at providing its institutional and private customers with an ever-
increasing range of advanced financial services and instruments, specialises in the following sectors: private banking;
investment banking; advisory and corporate finance; fiduciary services; real estate fund management.
Banca Finnat is a company listed on the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange, whose majority shares are held
by the same family group, dedicates particular attention to investor relations to manage relations with shareholders and
the financial community (institutional investors, managers, analysts) in a transparent manner; for this purpose, it
organises periodic meetings with the financial community, of which it provides adequate information on its website, in
the dedicated section.
In the Investor Relations section of the Bank's website (www.bancafinnat.it), both accounting and financial information
are made available (financial statements, half-yearly and quarterly reports, trends in the market value of financial
instruments issued by the Bank and traded on regulated markets), and information of interest to all shareholders
(composition of corporate bodies, group structure, etc.), as well as press releases, documents published on occasion of
periodic meetings with the financial community, illustration of extraordinary transactions and other relevant and price
sensitive information.
ii. In this regard, it is recommended to evaluate the classification of the company with respect to the categories of
the Code and the simplification options that can be used for "non-large" and/or "concentrated" companies, as
well as to adequately indicate the choices made.
For the purposes of this recommendation and the definition contained in the Corporate Governance Code, Banca Finnat
does not fall within the "large company" criterion as it does not have a capitalisation exceeding 1 billion euros on the
last open market day of each of the three previous calendar years, nor in the criterion of "companies with concentrated
ownership" as there are no shareholders' agreements in place.
Banca Finnat is classified as a Small Medium Enterprise (SME) as a company with a market capitalisation of less than
500 million euros and is included in the list published on the Consob website (http://www.consob.it/web/ area-
pubblica/emittenti-quotati-pmi).
iii. With respect to the composition of the management body, the Code has made some choices aimed at
strengthening the quality of the independence assessment and allowing the possibility of also qualifying the
Chairman of the Board of Directors as an independent director. In this regard, it is recommended that the criteria
used to assess the significance of professional, commercial or financial relationships and of additional
remuneration are provided in corporate governance report, also with reference to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, if the latter has been assessed as independent pursuant to the Code.
In this regard, the Chairman recalled that the Board of Directors is currently made up of 10 Directors, of which
three qualified as Independent pursuant to the verification carried out on 25 May 2021 by the Board of Directors;
in the current composition the Chairman of the Board of Directors does not meet the requisite of Independence.
The Board of Directors has recently updated its Regulations indicating in it, in paragraph 7, the criteria for
assessing the significance of commercial relations.
iv. While noting the improvement of some aspects of the pre-meeting information management, the Committee
invites the Boards of Directors to ensure the preparation of the board and committees regulations, paying
particular attention to the explicit determination of the terms deemed appropriate for sending the documentation
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
282
and the exclusion of generic confidentiality requirements as possible exemptions from compliance with these
terms. In drafting the corporate governance report, companies should also provide adequate illustration of the
actual compliance with the notice period previously defined and, where in exceptional cases it has not been
possible to comply with this deadline, explain the reasons for this and illustrate how adequate information has
been provided at the council meeting.
The Chairman of the Committee recalled that in the session of 16 December the Board of Directors approved
its own Regulations and the Regulations presented by each of the internal board Committees.
The regulation of the Board of Directors, among other things, identifies the methods and terms for making
available the pre-board meeting information, which is usually made available well in advance of the date
scheduled for the meeting (see section 4.4).
The internal regulations of the individual board Committees all provide that at the end of each meeting a
summary note on the activities carried out is drawn up and sent to the Board of Directors in order to timely
advise them of the issues dealt with and arisen at each meeting.
v. In reiterating the advisability of improving adherence to the principles and recommendations of the Code
regarding the appointment and succession of directors, which remain among the main areas for improvement
of the governance of listed companies, non-concentrated ownership companies are invited to adequately
examine the recommendations addressed to them with respect to the renewal of the Board of Directors. In this
regard, it is recalled that for these companies the Code not only recommends the outgoing Board of Directors to
express, in view of its renewal, guidelines for its optimal composition, taking into account the results of the self-
assessment, but also lists this responsibility in subsequent phase of the presentation of lists by the outgoing
board and/or the shareholders. In particular, the boards of directors of "non-concentrated" companies are invited
to ask whoever submits a list that contains a number of candidates greater than half of the members to be
elected to provide adequate information (in the documentation submitted for filing the list) about the compliance
of the list itself with the guidelines expressed by the outgoing board and to indicate its own candidate for the
office of Chairman.
The Bank's Board of Directors was appointed at the shareholders' meeting of 29 April 2021 and is therefore at
the beginning of its three-year term which will expire with the approval of the Financial Statements at 31
December 2023. Therefore, on the occasion of the three-year renewal, the Appointments Committee will draw
up its own Guidelines, taking into account what is indicated above by the Corporate Governance Committee.
vi. With regard to gender equality, please note that the new Code expressly recommends all listed companies
adhering to it to adopt measures to promote equal treatment and opportunities between genders within the
entire company organisation, monitoring their practical implementation. In this regard, while observing a
growing attention on these issues, the Committee invites companies to provide adequate information in the
report on corporate governance about the practical identification and application of such measures.
The Chairman reminds the Committee that the Bank's Articles of Association provide in art. 13 that the
appointment of the Board of Directors takes place through the presentation of lists formulated in such a way
as to ensure equal access and the presence of the less represented gender among the relative members. In
particular, the 2020 Budget Law provided for a different quota reserved to the least represented gender equal
of "at least two fifths" and established that this distribution criterion is applied for "six consecutive terms". The
Separate financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
283
current composition of the Board as appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2021 complies with
these provisions.
vii. With respect to remuneration policies, in addition to reiterating the desirability of an improvement in the policies
in defining clear and measurable rules for the payment of the variable component and any severance indemnities,
the Committee recommends to adequately consider the consistency of the parameters identified for the variable
remuneration with the strategic objectives of the business activity and the pursuit of sustainable success,
evaluating, if necessary, the forecast of non-financial parameters. With particular reference to the remuneration
parameters linked to the achievement of environmental and social objectives, the Committee recommends that
companies ensure that these parameters are predetermined and measurable.
Having examined the Recommendation, the Remuneration Committee stresses that, in compliance with national and
international regulatory guidelines, the remuneration policies and practices within the Group are oriented towards
sustainability and to attention not to favour conducts or behaviours that are misaligned with the propensity to risk
identified and selected by the Bank.
In particular, it is reminded that, substantially in line with the provisions of last year, the Group's remuneration policies:
a. do not provide for an indemnity for termination of office.
b. The weight of the variable remuneration linked to performance cannot exceed 100% of the gross salary of the
individual beneficiary and historically the variable component has averaged around 20% of gross salary;
c. the variable component of the remuneration is linked to performance as part of it may be deferred; the
performance objectives are assigned annually and the bonus pool is linked to the actual results of the annual
financial statements and to specific financial capital ratios; remuneration policies and practices are coordinated
with the rest of the banking group in compliance with the individual applicable regulations;
d. having regard to the remuneration of non-executive directors and members of the supervisory body, these
are recipients exclusively of a fixed remuneration adequate for the office held and do not participate in the
incentive system.
With regard to the remuneration parameters linked to the achievement of environmental and social objectives, currently
no remuneration linked to the achievement of environmental or social objectives is envisaged.
These issues will be addressed as part of the broader Sustainability Reporting project relating to non-financial information
(relating to environmental, social and governance aspects) that the bank will be required to prepare starting from 2023.
The considerations set out here were reported by the Chairmen of each Committee at the meeting of the Board of
Directors on 25 January 2022.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
ON THE GROUP OPERATIONS
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
291
Dear Shareholders,
The consolidated financial statements closed on 31 December 2021 show a net profit of 6,130 thousand euros, 1,039
thousand euros higher than the previous year which was equal to 5,091 thousand euros.
From the analysis of the result for the year in question, there was a significant increase in net fee and commission
income of 11%, while the net interest income decreased significantly due mainly to the decrease in the contribution
deriving from repurchase agreement transactions on the Bank's own portfolio.
As regards the Covid-19 emergency, the impacts of the pandemic on business activities are illustrated in the paragraph
“The most significant transactions and events of the year” of the Report on Operations of the separate financial
statements.
The main items that contributed to forming the results are shown below, compared those of the previous year:
The total income is equal to 67,524 thousand euros compared to 68,190 thousand euros in the previous year. The overall
decrease of 666 thousand euros consists of the following:
Increases
5,452 thousand euros for net fee and commission income (54,896 thousand euros at 31 December 2021
compared to 49,444 thousand euros in the previous year);
1,774 thousand euros in Net trading expense. The item at 31 December 2021 shows a positive balance
of 1,521 thousand euros against a negative balance of 253 thousand euros in 2020;
416 thousand euros for Income on other financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value (loss of 17
thousand euros at 31 December 2021 compared to a loss of 399 thousand euros in 2020).
Decreases
5,969 thousand euros for net interest income (10,189 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 compared to
16,158 thousand euros in 2020);
1,070 thousand euros for Dividends and similar income (722 thousand euros at 31 December 2021
compared to 1,792 thousand euros in 2020);
1,269 thousand euros in Net gains from disposal of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income (gains of 179 thousand euros at 31 December 2021
compared to similar gains of 1,448 thousand euros in 2020);
Net impairment losses for credit risk (+/-). The item showed net impairment losses totalling 1,057 thousand euros relating
to impairment losses on Financial asset at amortised cost (1,034 thousand euros) and of Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income (23 thousand euros).
On the other hand, net impairment losses were recorded on Financial assets at amortised cost of 5,561 thousand euros
and value recoveries on Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for 399 thousand euros.
Compared to the previous year, the item shows a decrease of 4,105 thousand euros, mainly attributable to lower
analytical adjustments made by the Bank on non-performing positions while maintaining the coverage rate of non-
performing loans unchanged.
Administrative expenses amounted to 55,947 thousand euros and are 3,757 thousand euros higher than the previous
year (52,190 thousand euros) and are made up as follows:
personnel expenses, equal to 38,061 thousand euros, are 2,036 thousand euros higher than the previous
year (36,025 thousand euros). The increase mainly regards the Bank for 657 thousand euros, also due to
the effect of high profile insertions in the Bank's staff (which occurred at the end of last year) and the
subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. for 1,359 thousand euros mainly due to the effect of the provision of
variable costs foreseen by the incentive system;
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

292
other administrative expenses of 17,886 thousand euros increased by 1,721 thousand euros compared to
the same period of the previous year (16,165 thousand euros). Other administrative expenses include
recoveries from customers of some costs allocated under Other operating income, net. Net of those
recoveries, other administrative expenses amounted to 12,610 thousand euros and increased by 842
thousand euros compared to the previous year (11,768 thousand euros).
Net adjustments/write-backs on property, equipment and investment property. The item presents impairment losses
equal to 3,413 thousand euros (3,423 thousand euros in 2020) and includes the amortisation quotas of the right of use
of assets acquired under leasing for 3,038 thousand euros (3,024 thousand euros in 2020).
Other net operating income showed a positive balance of 5,447 thousand euros compared to 4,990 thousand euros in
2020. Income comprises recoveries of costs from customers, amounting to 5,503 thousand euros, of which 5,276
thousand euros referring to other administrative expenses (4,636 thousand euros in 2020, of which 4,397 thousand
euros referring to other administrative expenses). The item also includes net charges of 647 thousand euros, pertaining
to the Bank, due to settlement agreements (also linked to the acquisition of new customers) and administrative
penalties.
Income taxes amount to 3,508 thousand euros (tax rate 28.9%) against 3,787 euros of the previous year (tax rate
32.75%).

(*) The data from December 2018 included the assets of the FIL 1 and FIL 2 funds for a total of 426,894 thousand
euros, transferred in 2019 to REDO SGR S.p.A. following the transfer of the business unit by InvestiRE SGR S.p.A.
Total assets amounted to 18.1 billion euros, an increase of 17% compared to the end of last year. This increase is
attributable in particular to the increase in the Bank's indirect deposits, equal to 38%, due in equal measure to both the
entry of new assets and the growth of the markets at a global level.
The above table shows the changes in the Group's deposits broken down by type. In detail: a) direct and indirect deposits
from customers refer to the Bank's operations and do not include repurchase agreements having the Cassa di
Compensazione e Garanzia as the counterparty; b) trusteeship deposits include the deposits of Finnat Gestioni S.A.; and
c) the assets of the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. are measured at the market value of the total managed assets before
subtracting debt (GAV).
All assets shown in the statement also take into account the amount invested in them and originating from the other
types highlighted, with the exception of “Luxembourg-based Sicav administration”, which does not include the delegated
management already included in the indirect deposits of the Parent Company.

Significant events occurring after the end of the year
In the period between the end of the 2021 financial year and the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, no
significant events or facts emerged that would entail the adjustment of the economic, equity and financial situation of
the Bank.
However, it should be noted that on 11 February 2022 the Mr Carlo Carlevaris, for many years Chairman of the Bank's
Board of Directors, passed away. The whole Banca Finnat Euramerica Group remembers with deep emotion his qualities
of great professionalism and humanity.
Covid-19
Since the beginning of 2022 there has been a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country due to
the wide spread of the new Omicron variant which recorded several times, during the month of January throughout the
national territory, peaks of positive Covid-19 tests exceeding 200,000 units per day and a number of deaths exceeding
400 units.
Especially in consideration of the speed of the epidemic, on 7 January 2022 the Government issued Italian Decree Law
no. 1 for the adoption of further measures for the prevention and containment of Covid-19 in order to limit the increasing
trend of the contagion curve and to implement protection measures for the most exposed categories. In particular,
starting from 15 February and until 15 June 2022, the decree provides for the vaccination obligation for all workers in
the public and private sectors aged 50. In this regard it should be noted that the reinforced Green Pass, whose verification
is the responsibility of employers, constitutes an essential requirement for carrying out working activities. The decree
also provides for the extension of the basic Green Pass to access:
- personal services (barbers, hairdressers and beauticians) starting from 20 January 2022;
- public offices, postal, banking and financial services and commercial activities not of primary necessity, starting from
1 February 2022.
Within its competence, the Bank and the other Group companies promptly respected and applied the provisions of the
new government measures described above; the Bank also updated and integrated the circular issued on 13 October
2021 which defines the methods for checking possession of the Green Pass to access workplaces and, together with
the other companies of the Group, it has strengthened the health facilities already in place, and also increased the
number of smart working workers.
The Bank's Coronavirus Emergency Committee continuously monitors the evolution of the pandemic at national level in
order to provide indications to the top management on how to deal with all the cases that could arise.
It should be noted that, despite the emergency situation described above, all the companies of the Banca Finnat Group
have ensured and continue to ensure operational continuity towards counterparties and the market, always guaranteeing
the maximum efficiency of the service offered to customers both in branches and through online banking services.
Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
At 5 a.m. local time on 24 February 2022, Russian armed forces crossed the borders and began the invasion of Ukraine.
The advance of the Soviet troops continued day after day with the aim of reaching the capital Kiev.
The NATO countries reacted immediately by activating their defensive plans by putting their forces on maximum alert.
The European Union, through the President of the Commission, has announced heavy economic sanctions such as: the
interruption of the export of technology to Moscow, the freezing of Russian assets and the end of Russian banks' access
to the European capital market.
The European Union, aligning itself with the position of the United States, Great Britain and Canada, has also provided
to exclude some Russian banks from the Swift international payment system.
At the moment it is not possible to make any predictions regarding the potential economic impacts deriving from the
situation of serious international instability that has arisen as a result of the ongoing war. Taking into account the current
situation and in the desirable hypothesis of a rapid resolution of hostilities, it is believed that impacts will not be
significant.

On 7 March 2022, with a joint press release, the Bank of Italy, CONSOB, IVASS and UIF called the attention of the
supervised entities to full compliance with the restrictive measures applied by the European Union in response to the
Russian military aggression in Ukraine. The Bank and the other Group companies, in compliance with what is reported
in the Press Release, are implementing all the controls and devices necessary in order to comply with the restrictive
measures adopted by the EU, constantly monitoring the updating of the measures in question.
Related party transactions
The Bank complies with the Regulations for Related Party Transactions, approved by the Board of Directors on 2 August
2013 to define responsibilities and rules governing the identification, approval and implementation of Related Party
Transactions carried out by the Bank or by companies in the Banca Finnat banking group, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code, the CONSOB Regulation adopted through Resolution no. 17221 of
12 March 2010 and Part III, Chapter 11 of Bank of Italy Circular no. 285 on “Supervision Provisions for Banks”.
The Bank has carried out transactions with both subsidiaries and related parties, ordinary transactions of lesser
significance and of small amounts, under market conditions, which did not significantly impact the company’s financial
and economic results.
The Bank did not carry out any "atypical or unusual" transactions either with related parties or with parties other than
related ones which, due to their significance/relevance may have cast doubts on the safeguarding of the company's
assets and the protection of non-controlling interests.
The information required by IAS 24 is provided in Part H of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Option for the domestic consolidated tax system
The Bank and its Italian-based subsidiaries have joined the "domestic consolidated tax system", pursuant to Article
117/129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act. The option was renewed in June 2019 for the 2019-2021 period.
By virtue of this option, the Group companies determine their proportion of the taxes payable and the corresponding
tax income (taxable income or tax loss) is transferred to the Parent Company, relating to which a single taxable income
or loss is reported (resulting from the algebraic sum of its own and its participating subsidiaries' incomes/losses) and,
consequently, a single income tax debit/credit of the company is determined.
Market disclosure information
Regarding direct disclosure to the market, the Group declares that:
with reference to the request formulated by Bank of Italy with its communication of 17 June 2008, at 31
December 2021, neither the Bank nor the other Group companies held any exposure and/or interest, either
directly or through vehicle companies or other non-consolidated entities, in financial instruments or UCIs
characterised by high-risk investments, such as: - SPE (Special Purpose Entities) - CDO (Collateralised Debt
Obligations) - Other sub-prime and Alt-A exposures - CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) -
Leveraged Finance.
the Board of Directors of Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A., pursuant to CONSOB Resolution no. 18079 of 20
January 2012, decided, on 21 January 2013, to comply with the simplification system set forth in Articles 70
(paragraph 8) and 71 (paragraph 1-bis) of the Regulation adopted by CONSOB through Resolution no. 11971 of
14 May 1999, as subsequently amended, by making use of the right of listed companies to depart from the

obligation to submit the information documents required by Annex 3B of the CONSOB Regulation relating to
future significant extraordinary operations such as mergers, demergers, capital increase by non-cash
contributions, acquisitions and sales;
with reference to the requests contained in joint Document no. 2 dated 6 February 2009 by the Bank of Italy,
CONSOB and ISVAP and in their subsequent Document no. 4 dated 4 March 2010 and the provisions of
paragraphs 15 and 25 of IAS 1, regarding disclosures to be made with respect to going concern assumptions,
please refer to the commentary provided in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Part A, Section 2 - General
financial reporting principles and Part E - Information on Risks and Related Hedging Policies;
the Bank, within the deadline of 1 February 2018, exercised the option for the application of the transitional
rules prescribed by the Regulation (EU) no. 2017/2395, amending "Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 as regards
transitional arrangements for mitigating the impact of the introduction of IFRS 9 on own funds and for the large
exposures treatment of certain public sector exposures denominated in the domestic currency of any Member
State". The aforesaid transitional rules provide the possibility of including in Common Equity Tier 1 capital a
transitional positive component, calculated in percentage terms, of the increase undergone by the allocations
for expected losses on receivables by effect of the first adoption of IFRS 9. This benefit is recognised for a period
of 5 years according to decreasing rates (95% in 2018, 85% in 2019, 70% in 2020, 50% in 2021 and 25% in
2022). From 1 January 2023 onwards, the impact deriving from the first-time adoption of IFRS 9 will be fully
reflected in the calculation of own funds. In addition to the possibility of delaying the impact deriving from the
first-time adoption of the new accounting standard to 1 January 2018, the transitional arrangements provide
the possibility of delaying any impacts of the new impairment model also in the first years following the date
of first-time adoption of IFRS 9, albeit limited to those deriving from the measurement of performing financial
assets. On 28/4/2020, the EU, with Regulation no. 2020/0066 issued to combat the effects of Covid-19,
supplemented the above-mentioned transitional provisions, extending their applicability from 2022 to 2024
(again with progressively decreasing percentages) for the new provisions recognised in 2020 and in 2021
against performing financial assets.

Capital adequacy, prudential ratios and information on risk management
Information relating to the degree of capital adequacy and risk management of the Group is amply illustrated in the
Notes to the Financial Statements, respectively, in Part F - Information on consolidated equity and in Part E - Information
on risks and related hedging policies.
Own funds and consolidated banking regulatory ratios
The consolidated Regulatory Capital is determined based on the harmonised regulations for Banks and the Investment
companies contained in the Regulation ("CRR") and in the EU Directive ("CRD IV") of 26 June 2013 that transfer to the
European Union the standards defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (known as Basel 3).
In order to enact the regulations, the Bank of Italy issued Circular no. 285 "Prudential Supervision Provisions for Banks”
on 17 December 2013.
Own funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to 189,397 thousand euros (184,465 thousand euros at 31 December 2020),
whereas the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio stood at 31.1% (34.9% at 31 December 2020).
The Bank exercised the option to apply the transitional provisions for the deferment over time of the impacts of the
application of the new accounting standard on own funds - illustrated in the section "Market disclosure information”.
Without this application, Own funds would have been equal to 188,189 thousand euros, while the Total capital ratio, the
CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio would be equal to 31.0%.
These ratios widely exceed minimum capital requirements at consolidated level mandated for us by the Bank of Italy
on conclusion of the supervisory review and evaluation process (SREP) established by Directive no. 2013/36/EU (CRD
IV).

Research and development activities
For research and development activities, please refer to what is indicated in the Directors' Report to the separate financial
statements of the Parent Company.
Exposure to debt securities and sovereign debt financing
With its "Communication on information to be provided in financial report with regard to exposures held by listed
companies in sovereign debt securities", no. DEM/11070007 of 5 August 2011, CONSOB references the application of
document no. 2011/266 of 28 July 2011 of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) relating to the
information about sovereign debt to be included in the annual and half-year financial reports prepared by listed
companies that adopt the IAS/IFRS international accounting standards.
As indicated in the ESMA document, "sovereign debt" means bonds issued by central and local governments and by
government agencies as well as loans issued to them. The following tables highlight in more detail the exposure in debt
securities by their accounting portfolio, maturity bracket and fair value hierarchy.
The following tables show, broken down by individual country, the book value of exposures to sovereign credit risk.

(*) the amounts are gross of portfolio impairment losses for credit risk totalling 148 thousand euros.
With reference to Italian government bonds, the Group carries out periodic stress tests that postulate an increase in
credit spreads, evaluating the related effects.
The analyses carried out did not reveal any significant impacts on the solidity of the Group. In fact, in the event of stress,
the CET1 Ratio indicator would still be significantly higher than the limits set by the SREP decision for the year 2021.

Operating outlook
The forecasts for the year 2022, drawn up at the beginning of the year by the Bank and the other Group Companies,
were prepared taking into account the persistence of the Covid-19 epidemiological emergency situation but also the
benefits deriving from the economic policy measures adopted at national and international level and a consequent
resolution of the crisis generated by the pandemic starting from the end of the current year. The expected results allow
us to confirm interesting levels of profitability and capitalisation also for 2022.
Taking into account the above-described serious international situation in progress, in the periodic reports scheduled for
the year, the Bank will provide updates on the effects that the evolution of the Russian invasion in Ukraine may have
on the performance of company activities.

Part A – Accounting policies
A.1 – General Information
Section 1 - Declaration of compliance with international accounting standards
The condensed, consolidated half-year financial statements at 31 December 2021 of the Banca Finnat Euramerica Group
have been prepared applying the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) issued, as amended, by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), as endorsed by the
European Commission, in force at 31 December 2021, in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation EC no.
1606/02.
The international accounting standards have been applied taking into account, where necessary, the "Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements" (the Framework).
For further guidance on the application of the new accounting standards, the Company has also referred to the
interpretations provided by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as well as the
documents issued to support the introduction of the IAS/IFRS in Italy by the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) - the
Italian Accounting Board - and the documents produced by the Italian Bankers' Association (ABI).
If no standard or applicable interpretation applied specifically to a transaction, other event or condition, reference was
made to the provisions and guidelines contained in the standards and interpretations dealing with similar and related
issues, taking into account the Framework provisions.
Section 2 - General financial reporting principles
The Group consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2021 were prepared in accordance with the provisions
laid down by Bank of Italy Circular no. 262 of 22 December 2005 "Banks' financial statements: layouts and preparation"
- update 7 of 29 October 2021. Among other things, this latest update has the purpose of aligning, as far as possible,
the financial statements with the consolidated financial reports at European level (FINREP).
The communication of the Bank of Italy of 21 December 2021 - Update of the additions to the provisions of Circular no.
262 "The bank balance sheet: compilation schemes and rules", concerning the impacts of Covid-19 and measures to
support the economy. This communication, which repeals and replace the previous one of 15 December 2020, has the
purpose to update the additions to the provisions of Circular no. 262/2005 to provide the market with information on
the effects that Covid-19 has produced on risk management strategies, objectives and policies, as well as on the Group's
economic and equity situation. The communication in question provides that the tabular representation of the new
provisions, referring to the 2021 financial statements, also include the indication of the comparative amounts referring
to the data for the year 2020.
Account was also taken of the interpretative and support documents for the application of the accounting standards in
relation to the impacts of Covid-19, issued by the European regulatory and supervisory bodies and by standard setters,
aimed at clarifying the methods of application of the IAS/IFRS in the current pandemic environment (ESMA Notices, EBA
guidelines, letter from the ECB dated 4 December 2020 and ESMA Notice of 29 October 2021).
The accounting standards applied to prepare these Consolidated Financial Statements have remained unchanged with
respect to those applied to prepare the Group Report for 2020, with the exception of that indicated in Section “A.2 -
Information on the main financial statement items”.
With reference to the evolution of the accounting legislation, it should be noted that starting from 2021, Regulation no.
25/2021 of 13 January 2021, which incorporates the document "Reform of the reference indices for determining interest
rates - phase 2 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16" on issues relating to the revision of interest
rates (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - IBOR Reform) is applicable. The main changes introduced concern the possible
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

322
accounting impacts deriving from the application of the new rates, in particular the accounting representation of the
amendments to existing contracts and accounting hedges. From the point of view of the accounting representation, it
is specified that the changes following the IBOR Reform relating to the replacement of the existing IBOR rate with the
new Risk Free Rate should not constitute a derecognition event, but are to be considered as an accounting modifications
("Modification").
In this context, a practical expedient has been introduced which makes it possible not to carry out the accounting
cancellation of the financial instrument and not to have to adjust its gross book value by recognising net modification
gains (losses) without accounting cancellation.
With regard to hedge accounting, some exceptions have been introduced to IAS 39 and IFRS 9 which allow, for hedging
relationships affected by the reform of the benchmark interest rates, not to carry out "discounting" on existing hedges
and reflect alternative benchmark interest rates therein. The aforementioned amendments introduced by the IASB, with
the aim of avoiding distorting effects in the Financial Statements as a consequence of the reform, did not have any
accounting impact for the Bank and for the other Group companies.
The consolidated Financial Statements consist of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the consolidated
Income Statement, the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity, the consolidated Cash Flow Statement as well as these Notes to the Financial Statements.
It is also accompanied by the Directors' Report on the management trend and the situation of the Group.
The consolidated schedules of the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of
Comprehensive Income are made up of items, sub-items and further information details (the “of which” of the items
and sub-items). The items, sub-items and related information details constitute the separate financial statements. Items
that do not present amounts for the year to which the financial statements refer, nor for the previous one, are not
shown. In the Income Statement and in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, revenue is indicated without a sign,
while costs are indicated in brackets.
The amount of the previous year is also indicated for each item of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the
consolidated Income Statement, the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and the consolidated Cash Flow
Statement.
In compliance with Article 5 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38 of 28 February 2005, the consolidated Financial
Statements were prepared using the euro as the reporting currency. Regarding the contents of the tables, all figures are
expressed in thousands of euro, unless otherwise specified.
The consolidated financial statements provide a true and correct representation of the equity, financial situation and the
economic result for the year. The financial statements were also drawn up, as already mentioned, with a view to the
continuation of operations (IAS 1 paragraph 25), in compliance with the principle of accruals (IAS 1 paragraph 27 and
28) and in compliance with the obligation to make adjustments for reflect events subsequent to the reporting date (IAS
10). Assets and liabilities, income and expenses have not been offset, except where required or allowed by a standard
or interpretation (IAS 1, paragraph 32). The cost of inventory and of financial instruments was calculated using the
weighted average daily cost method (IAS 2, paragraph 25).
The consolidated financial statements of the Banca Finnat Group will be audited by KPMG S.p.A.
As required by IAS 8, the Regulations (for amendment or issuance of new standards) endorsed by the European
Commission that apply from 1 January 2021 onwards are shown below:
o Regulation no. 25/2021 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - phase 2 - (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7,

In addition to the aforementioned equity investments, from July 2021 the Bank also has 100% exclusive control of the
BFE Revalue Fund, with registered office in Rome.
2. Significant valuations and assumptions in determining the scope of consolidation
The scope of consolidation includes:
the separate financial statements of the Parent Company Banca Finnat Euramerica S.p.A. and of the subsidiaries,
consolidated on a line-by-line basis;
the financial statements of associated companies and joint ventures or the last financial report available at the
time of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, stated at equity.
The scope of consolidation includes all subsidiary companies, regardless of their legal status, and of whether they are
going concerns or being wound up.
The scope of consolidation has changed compared to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 as
follows:
- for the entry into the Group of the BFE Revalue Fund, consolidated on a line-by-line, established in July 2021
and managed by the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR. In the constitution phase the Bank irrevocably undertook to
subscribe the fund units for a total value of 2 million euros, to be completed through cash payments. At 31
December 2021 the amount of payments made solely by the Bank was equal to 200 thousand euros;
- for the exit from the Group of the associated company Previra Invest S.p.A. in liquidation on 15 December 2021,
following the conclusion of the voluntary liquidation with the approval by the shareholders' meeting of the final
liquidation financial statements and the final distribution plan.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies whose financial and operating policies the Group directly or indirectly determines and,
therefore, the Group can benefit from their activities.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
324
When determining control, account should also be taken of the companies in which Banca Finnat directly or indirectly
holds more than half of the voting rights. The assessment of the voting rights shall also include the "potential" rights,
which can be consistently exercised or converted into effective voting rights at any time.
Structured entities in which the Group has direct or indirect control according to IFRS 10 are also considered subsidiaries.
In particular, the structured assets represented by real estate investment funds are considered controlled entities and
therefore fully consolidated when the Group has the power to direct/govern the relevant fund activities and/or exercise
control over the manager's activities.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the parent company obtains control
over the company until the date on which that control ceases.
Associated companies and joint ventures
Associated companies are entities whose financial and operating policies are significantly influenced by the Group, but
which it does not control, either jointly or separately; they are included in the consolidation at equity. As required by
IAS 28, equity interests classified as joint ventures are also consolidated at equity.
The profit or losses of the Group are recorded in the Income Statement from the date on which the significant influence
started and up to the date on which it ceases.
If the loss by the Group exceeds the book value of the equity investment then the value of the equity investment is
derecognised and, if the investing company is committed to fulfilling legal or implicit obligations of the investee
company, or in any event to covering its losses, any surplus is recognised in specific provisions under liabilities.
Line-by-line consolidation
All the financial statements of the investee companies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements were drawn
up at 31 December and, if necessary, adjusted to ensure the uniform application of the same accounting standards
applied by the Parent Company.
The assets and liabilities, expenses and income of the companies consolidated according to the line-by-line method are
fully recognised in the consolidated financial statements ("line-by-line" recognition of the statement of financial position
and income statement aggregates of the subsidiaries), after the recording of any non-controlling interests in specific
items; the book value of the equity investments is written off for the corresponding fraction of the equity of the investee
companies, recording the single asset and liability items (including the provisions for risks and charges) at their current
value on the date of acquisition of control. Any positive difference resulting from the said writing off is recorded as
goodwill, under the asset item "Intangible assets", at the date of the first consolidation and, thereafter, among the equity
reserves. Any negative difference is recorded in the Income Statement.
All intra-group balances (assets, liabilities, revenue and costs) and transactions, including any unrealised profit or loss
resulting from intra-group transactions, are written off minus their theoretical tax effect, if significant. The Group's share
of unrealised profit and loss with associated companies is written off.
Unrealised losses are written off only if they represent impairment losses.
The presentation currency of the Group's financial statements is the euro, which is also the functional currency of all the
companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, recorded at historical cost, are translated using the exchange
rate at the date on which the transaction was originally recorded.
The financial statements of the consolidated companies expressed in foreign currencies were translated according to
the exchange rate at the reporting date for the assets and liabilities; for the income statement items, the average
exchange rates in the year were used, and the historical exchange rates for the equity items. The differences between
the values of the equity items at the historical exchange rates and those deriving from the translation thereof at the
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
325
current exchange rates are recorded in an equity item called "Other reserves”.
Consolidation at equity
This method provides for the initial recording of the investee company at cost. The book value is then periodically
adjusted to take into account changes in the investee company's equity. The pro rata allocation of the profit for the year
of the investee company is recorded in a specific item of the Income Statement. The equity of the associates is inferred
from the latest available financial statements or from the latest financial report available at the time of preparation of
the consolidated financial statements.
The difference - if any - between the book value and the recovery value of the equity investment, estimated based on
the present value of the future cash flows generated by the investment itself, is recorded in the Income Statement.

Section 4 - Subsequent events
In the period between the end of the 2021 financial year and the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, no
significant events or facts emerged that would entail the adjustment of the economic, equity and financial situation of
the Bank.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

However, it should be noted that on 11 February 2022 the Mr Carlo Carlevaris, for many years Chairman of the Bank's
Board of Directors, passed away. The whole Banca Finnat Euramerica Group remembers with deep emotion his qualities
of great professionalism and humanity.
Covid-19
Since the beginning of 2022 there has been a general worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country due to
the wide spread of the new Omicron variant which recorded several times, during the month of January throughout the
national territory, peaks of positive Covid-19 tests exceeding 200,000 units per day and a number of deaths exceeding
400 units.
Especially in consideration of the speed of the epidemic, on 7 January 2022 the Government issued Italian Decree Law
no. 1 for the adoption of further measures for the prevention and containment of Covid-19 in order to limit the increasing
trend of the contagion curve and to implement protection measures for the most exposed categories. In particular,
starting from 15 February and until 15 June 2022, the decree provides for the vaccination obligation for all workers in
the public and private sectors aged 50. In this regard it should be noted that the reinforced Green Pass, whose verification
is the responsibility of employers, constitutes an essential requirement for carrying out working activities. The decree
also provides for the extension of the basic Green Pass to access:
- personal services (barbers, hairdressers and beauticians) starting from 20 January 2022;
- public offices, postal, banking and financial services and commercial activities not of primary necessity, starting from
1 February 2022.
Within its competence, the Bank and the other Group companies promptly respected and applied the provisions of the
new government measures described above; the Bank also updated and integrated the circular issued on 13 October
2021 which defines the methods for checking possession of the Green Pass to access workplaces and, together with
the other companies of the Group, it has strengthened the health facilities already in place, and also increased the
number of smart working workers.
The Bank's Coronavirus Emergency Committee continuously monitors the evolution of the pandemic at national level in
order to provide indications to the top management on how to deal with all the cases that could arise.
It should be noted that, despite the emergency situation described above, all the companies of the Banca Finnat Group
have ensured and continue to ensure operational continuity towards counterparties and the market, always guaranteeing
the maximum efficiency of the service offered to customers both in branches and through online banking services.
Invasion of Ukraine by Russia
At 5 a.m. local time on 24 February 2022, Russian armed forces crossed the borders and began the invasion of Ukraine.
The advance of the Soviet troops continued day after day with the aim of reaching the capital Kiev.
The NATO countries reacted immediately by activating their defensive plans by putting their forces on maximum alert.
Through the President of the Commission, the European Union has announced heavy economic sanctions such as: the
interruption of the export of technology to Moscow, the freezing of Russian assets and the end of Russian banks' access
to the European capital market.
The European Union, aligning itself with the position of the United States, Great Britain and Canada, has also provided
to exclude some Russian banks from the Swift international payment system.
At the moment it is not possible to make any predictions regarding the potential economic impacts deriving from the
situation of serious international instability that has arisen as a result of the ongoing war. Taking into account the current
situation and in the desirable hypothesis of a rapid resolution of hostilities, it is not believed that these impacts could
be significant.
On 7 March 2022, with a joint press release, the Bank of Italy, CONSOB, IVASS and UIF called the attention of the
supervised entities to full compliance with the restrictive measures applied by the European Union in response to the
Russian military aggression in Ukraine. The Bank and the other Group companies, in compliance with what is reported
in the Press Release, are implementing all the controls and devices necessary in order to comply with the restrictive
measures adopted by the EU, constantly monitoring the updating of the measures in question.

Section 5 - Other information
Risks, uncertainties and impacts of the Covid-19 epidemic
In compliance with the Bank of Italy's communication dated 21 December 2021 "Additions to the provisions of Circular
no. 262/2005 concerning the impacts of Covid-19 and measures to support the economy and amendments to the
IAS/IFRS" information is provided below on the effects that the Covid-19 epidemic has produced on the strategies,
objectives and policies of risk management, as well as on the Group's income statement and financial position.
Risks and uncertainties
In compliance with the IAS/IFRSs, the Bank and the other Group companies carry out valuations, estimates and
assumptions to support the application of the accounting standards and to determine the amounts of the assets,
liabilities, costs and revenue reported in the consolidated financial statements, as well as the disclosure relating to
contingent assets and liabilities.
The estimates and relevant assumptions are based on previous experience and on other factors considered reasonable
in the case in question and were adopted to estimate the book value of the assets and liabilities that cannot be easily
inferred from other sources.
In particular, estimate processes were adopted in support of the book values of some of the most significant valuation
items recognised in the Financial Statements at 31 December 2021, as set forth in the accounting standards and
reference regulations described above. These processes are based largely on estimates of future recoverability of the
values booked to the financial statements according to the rules dictated by the regulations in force and were carried
out on the basis of the going concern assumption, i.e. excluding the assumption of forced settlement of the items subject
to valuation.
The processes adopted confirm the book values at 31 December 2021. The parameters and information used to verify
the values mentioned earlier are therefore greatly influenced by the factors which could be subject to rapid changes
that are currently not foreseeable, so that subsequent effects on future book values cannot be ruled out.
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Any changes resulting from these revisions are booked in the
period in which the revision is carried out, if the same concerns solely that period. In the event in which the revision
concerns both current and future periods, the change is booked in the period in which the revision is carried out in the
relative future periods.
The main cases where the use of subjective evaluations by Management are most requested are:
– quantifying losses due to impairment of loans and, in general, other financial assets and equity
investments;
– using valuation models for recognising the fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets;
– estimating and assuming the recoverability of deferred tax assets;
– estimating the recoverable value of goodwill;
– the estimate of the actuarial gains/losses related to the post-employment benefits;
– estimating any provisions for risks and charges.
Going concern assumption
In accordance with the requirements of the joint Bank of Italy, CONSOB and ISVAP document no. 2 of 6 February 2009
and paragraphs 25 and 26 of IAS 1, the Directors of the Bank, in the current COVID-19 epidemiological emergency,
have taken into account with the utmost caution and attention - for the purpose of preparing these consolidated financial
statements - a series of financial, management and other indicators, in order to identify the existence of any
circumstance that may be relevant for assessing the compliance with the 'going concern' requirement.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

328
As a result of the tests conducted on the realisable value of the assets and in consideration of the reliability and results
of the risk measurement systems, the Directors of the Bank are confident there is no evidence that could cast doubts
on the Group continuing as a going concern, even when taking full account of the impacts of Covid-19. Given the size
of the Group's assets, the substantial financial resources owned and the composition, quality and liquidity of the portfolio
of financial assets, the Directors of the Bank have prepared these Consolidated Financial Statements in the full conviction
that the Group meets the requirements of a going concern in the foreseeable future.
Methods of application of the IAS/IFRSs
The Bank and the other Group companies paid particular attention to compliance with accounting and prudential rules
as well as the correct application of international accounting standards, also taking into account the aforementioned
communication from the Bank of Italy. From the analysis performed - focusing in particular on IFRS 9 and IAS 36, IFRS
15, IFRS 16 and IAS 19, summarised below - no particularly critical issues were identified as concerns for the drafting of
these Financial Statements.
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments - IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets
On the premise that the Bank and the other Group companies have never modified their business models, the following
issues were specifically analysed:
Increase in credit risk.
Taking into account the intervention of ESMA of 25 March 2020 and of the IFRS Foundation of 27 March 2020,
the Bank did not consider the economic support measures put into place by the government to support borrowers
in response to Covid-19 as measures that automatically trigger an SICR (significant increase in credit risk); instead,
it assessed any increase in credit risk using reasonable and supportable current and forward-looking information
at the date on which these Financial Statements were drafted.
It should also be highlighted that the moratoriums granted to performing customers to handle the Covid-19
emergency, in line with the provisions of the guidelines issued by the European Banking Authority
(EBA/GL/2020/02) on 2 April 2020, did not entail the classification of customer exposures as forborne performing
exposures, since the application of a general legislative moratorium, adopted as a specific response to the current
economic situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, is not a forbearance measure and therefore should not be
considered a restructuring as a result of financial difficulty. For those positions, the calculation of days past due was
therefore suspended.
Staging allocation – Significant increase in credit risk – new quantitative regulation.
The accounting standards applied to prepare these Financial Statements at 31 December 2021 have remained
unchanged with respect to those applied to prepare the Financial Statements at 31 December 2020, with the
exception of what indicated in section A.2 - “Information on the main financial statement items”. With respect to
the last financial year, an amendment was also made to point ”16 - Other information and 6 - Methods for
determining impairment losses” specifically regarding the identification of a “significant increase" in credit risk.
Specifically, starting in the current year, the outsourcer that provides the operating system the Bank uses made an
update to the rating model, which also introduces the new definition of default set out in Article 178 of Regulation
no. 575/2013 (CRR) adopted by the Bank and consistent with the definition of impaired financial assets set out in
IFRS 9. The update to the rating model made resulted in several changes to the quantitative criteria established by
the Bank's current policy to identify a "significant increase” in credit risk, exclusively as regards the staging method
defined for the loans portfolio.
Specifically, in order to verify a significant deterioration in credit quality and the resulting transfer of the financial
instrument from Stage 1 to Stage 2, the quantitative criterion based on the verification of deterioration of the
counterparties' ratings has been replaced with a new criterion based on the verification of the change in the
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
329
Probability of Default (PD) of the credit position. The changes in PD are calibrated on the single rating classes and
prudently considered the evolution of the curve, which is monotonic (the curve grows as the rating class worsens).
The Bank has identified the thresholds for change in PD which, when reached, the financial instrument moves from
Stage 1 to Stage 2, differentiated by type of customer (retail and corporate) and by rating class, as shown below:

Measurement of expected credit losses.
With reference to the measurement of expected losses on credit exposures, the competent Authorities suggest
considering the deterioration of the economic situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and, taking into account
the context of high uncertainty, estimate the expected losses avoiding excessively pro-cyclical assumptions, giving
a greater weight to historical information than to long-term macroeconomic forecasts.
To determine the collective write-down of performing positions (on- and off-balance sheet) at 31 December 2021,
Banca Finnat used the consortium model developed by the IT outsourcer as, in accordance with IFRS 9, it takes into
account the updating of the historical series of risk parameters and macroeconomic scenarios based on the latest
available forecasts. The estimation model adopted incorporates the macroeconomic scenarios implemented by the
specialist provider Prometeia. The estimates of the risk parameters, and in particular the forward looking
information, at 31 December 2021 show significant improvements generated by the positive evolution of the
macro-economic situation, also determined by the introduction of support measures for businesses consisting of
the State guarantee on loans banking and the gradual easing of anti-covid measures, nationally and internationally.
The forward looking information required by the model identify three scenarios (Best/Base/Worst) to which the
following weights were assigned in the previous years: 5/90/5.
Nonetheless, considering the current unusual situation, in line with the provisions of the Supervisory Bodies to
encourage banks to keep using suitably prudent approaches, Banca Finnat decided to change the above weights,
prudentially assigning a weight of 90 to the Worst scenario and a weight of 5 to the Base and Best scenarios. This
approach resulted in an increase in impairment losses on performing loans of approximately 195 thousand euros.
Despite the significant improvement in the emergency situation triggered by the pandemic and the positive
estimates of growth in the Italian and European GDP, it is in fact considered that the signals of the increase in the
number of infections at internal level of new variants of the Covid-19 virus, could lead to new containment
measures and, as a result, have an impact on the macroeconomic variables with significant effects on the
calculation of expected losses.
With regard to the calibration of the statistical matrices, taking into account that in order to deal with the economic
emergency triggered by the pandemic, government measures have been adopted through credit moratoriums and
the provision of guarantees through the use of public funds, in the development of the impairment model, while
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

330
by recalibrating the default rate available at 31 December 2021 and using the latest Forward Looking Information
of the satellite model, the Bank has prudentially deemed it appropriate to keep the transition matrices of the
statistical model unchanged.
Fair value measurement.
In the current context characterised by market uncertainty and volatility, there could be an increase in
measurements classified as Level 3, through the use of non - observable inputs, due to the disappearance of prices
quoted in active markets (Level 1) and/or observable inputs (Level 2). Movement within the fair value hierarchy
could take place for various types of financial instruments. At 31 December 2021 there have been no significant
changes in the fair value hierarchy and as regards the valuation of financial instruments classified in Level 3, the
Bank and the other Group companies have maintained the same criteria as those adopted in the 2020 Group
Report, adding to the Policy adopted to include the assessment method relating to a type of investment previously
not envisaged, as illustrated in the Section “Information on fair value”.
Impairment of assets
At 31 December 2021 the Bank carried out impairment testing of its assets also taking into account the crisis
situation generated by Covid-19.
Pursuant to IAS 36, the Bank tested the recoverability of the book values of equity investments in associated
companies measured at cost. The tests conducted did not show any problems and, thus, it was not necessary to
record any impairment losses.
As regards Goodwill recognised in the financial statements of the subsidiary Investire SGR, in order to decide
whether it would be necessary to record an impairment loss, an impairment test was conducted, with the support
of the internal specialists of the Parent Company, on the basis of the company's forecasts which take into account
the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The definitive updated parameters of the Group to be used as assumptions on which the impairment calculation is
based are summarised in the document "Measurement Methodologies and Impairment Test", approved by the
competent decision-making bodies of the Bank autonomously and in advance with respect to the approval of these
financial statements.
At 31 December 2021, for the purposes of discounting the cash flows and the terminal value, a rate representing
the weighted average cost of the capital invested in the Company (WACC) was used, which, in this specific case,
matches the cost of capital "Ke", inasmuch as InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. is characterised by the current and expected
absence of financial payables. The financial parameters used to calculate the WACC were defined on the basis of
average market values, measured also by sample testing comparable entities; moreover, a period of explicit
projection of 3 years was used, and a growth rate of 1.5% which also takes into account the expected inflation:
the forward looking data used in the measurement at 31 December 2021 therefore refer to the projections for
subsequent financial years prepared by the Management of the asset management company with the control and
coordination of the Parent Company. The WACC thus determined is 7.91%.
Lastly, the model for determining the equity value was subjected to sensitivity analysis in order to appreciate the
change of the results obtained as the adopted measurement parameters change. The analyses conducted did not
bring to light any indications of impairment with reference to goodwill, not even based on a stress test approach,
using a discount rate "Ke" (+/-50 bps).
Deferred tax assets at 31 December 2021 are in line with ESMA guidelines. At Group level, the Bank has verified
the recoverability of the same recorded in accordance with IAS 12. On the basis of the assessments performed at
31 December 2021 with regard to the economic and financial projections of the Group, it is deemed with reasonable
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

331
certainty that the deferred tax assets recognised in the statement of financial position assets will be recovered in
full.
Contractual changes resulting from Covid-19
1) Contractual changes and accounting derecognition
At 31 December 2021 the pandemic did not cause significant deterioration in the payment capacity of the Group's
customers; to this end, the following were assessed:
- whether any price reductions granted may have led to a change in the contract;
- if any payment extensions granted to customers could generate a significant financial component.
The analysis performed did not show conditions for the revision of timing and methods for the recognition of
revenue.
It should also be noted that during the year - following the measures put in place by the Government to support
the economy to mitigate the pandemic effect - no significant contractual changes or accounting derecognitions
were made for the Group's customers.
2) Amendment of IFRS 16
As lessees, the Bank and other Group companies did not exercise any extension option set forth by IFRS 16 in the
case of significant events or changes caused specifically by the decline in economic activity and the uncertainty of
the macroeconomic scenario, nor did they rely on the provisions of the amendment "Covid-19 Related Rent
Concessions" published by the IASB on 28 May 2020, which provides lessees with the option of accounting for
payment reductions without needing to evaluate, by analysing the contracts, if the changes fall within the definition
of lease modification set forth in IFRS 16.
Impact of the pandemic on the Group's strategies and results for the year
The Banca Finnat Group's business strategies have not changed as a result of the pandemic. All the Group companies
ensured business continuity vis-à-vis counterparties and the market, always ensuring the maximum efficiency of the
service offered to customers both in branch and through remote channels. None of the Group's activities was interrupted,
even temporarily, in particular as regards customer service.
Despite the economic crisis which significantly affected many production sectors at national level, the Group's result for
the year 2021 is higher than the result of the previous year and it should be noted that in the year in question there
were no absolute or relative negative impacts recorded on the main items of the statement of financial position and
income statement due to the pandemic.
During the year a recover was recorded in activities and services targeted to corporate and institutional customers, which
were more harshly penalised by the economic crisis in the previous year. The increase in net fee and commission income
recognised compared to 2020 is attributable: i) to the increase of 17% in the Bank's net fee and commission income
compared to 2020, mainly due to the increase in trading fees and advisory fees on deposits under administration and
fund placement, due to the growth in indirect deposits, as well as the increase in advisory fees and corporate finance
fees also due to the realisation of two bond placements and four share placements on the Euronext Growth Milan stock
market (in that regard, note the sharp growth in values and transactions on that market, also driven by the 44 new
listings realised in 2021); ii) in relation to real estate fund management, to growth recorded in development fees and
variable fees, also due to the recovery of work at worksites as a result of the elimination of pandemic containment
measures. Revenue from trusteeship and foreign companies were in line compared to the previous year.
As regards IAS 19, in relation to the financial year in question, the Bank and the other Group companies recorded
actuarial gains/losses related to the provision for post-employment benefits in the year in question in line with previous
years.

Nonetheless, the Group is keeping significant attention focused, specifically, on monitoring credit positions subject to
moratoria and government guarantees, or which enjoyed subsidies at commercial level in the initial period of the crisis
triggered by the pandemic. A fresh outbreak of the emergency situation triggered by the spread of new variants, though
contained by the vaccination campaign, could threaten the expected positive impact on for the relaunch of the national
economy of the management of the resources allocated at European level.
The results for the 2021 financial year of all subsidiaries increased overall in comparison to the previous year. Specifically,
the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR recorded net profit of around 16% compared to 2020.
The liquidity position has always remained solid thanks to the broad availability of liquid reserves. In particular, during
the 2021 financial year, the regulatory indicators - Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) -
were considerably above minimum requirements. In terms of capital, the Group's capital and asset quality make it
possible to face the crisis in the near future with relative peace of mind.
Exemption from drafting the fourth interim report on operations 2021
With the implementation of the Shareholders' Rights Directive (Italian Legislative Decree no. 27 of 27 January 2010),
paragraph 1 of Article 154-ter (“Financial Relations”) of the Consolidated Financial Law (TUF) was amended. This
amendment establishes that the annual financial report, including the draft financial statements, the consolidated
financial statements where drafted, the management report and the declarations of the delegated administrative bodies
and the financial reporting officer, must be made public within 120 days of closing of the financial year. The obligation
of publication within 120 days refers explicitly to the "draft financial statements" approved by the administrative body
and no longer to the "financial statements" approved by the shareholders' meeting. Therefore, with this amendment,
the option for listed companies of postponing the approval of the financial statements up to a maximum term of 180
days is reinstated as provided for by art. 2364 paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, which had no longer applied after the
application of Directive 2004/109/EC ( Transparency Directive). The decree also establishes that, notwithstanding art.
2429, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, the draft financial statements must be communicated by the directors to the
board of statutory auditors and to the independent auditors at least 15 days before the publication of the same.
With reference to the companies listed in the STAR segment, Borsa Italiana has provided for the publication - in addition
to the reports relating to the 1st and 3rd quarters, as required by paragraph 5 of article 154-ter - also of the interim
management report with reference to the 4th quarter; it also provided for the option to omit the preparation of the
report in the event that the publication of the draft financial statements is brought forward to 90 days from the end of
the reference year. This 90-day deadline (previously set at 75 days before the changes introduced with the transposition
of the aforementioned directive) was established by Borsa Italiana with notice no. 14924 of 8 October 2010 concerning
the "Amendments made to the Market Regulations".
In light of the foregoing, the Bank has taken advantage of the option not to publish the 4th interim management report
by making the draft separate financial statements available to the shareholders and the market within 90 days from the
end of the financial year the separate and consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 accompanied by the
certification of the Financial Reporting Manager, with that of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Independent
Auditors.

A.2 – Information on the main financial statement items
The accounting standards adopted in preparing these Financial Statements at 31 December 2021 remained unchanged
with respect to those adopted in preparing the 2020 Financial Statements, with the exception:
of the change made to point “16 - Other information 6 - Methods for determining impairment losses”
specifically regarding the identification of a “significant increase” in credit risk. Specifically, starting in the current
year, the outsourcer that provides the operating system the Bank uses made an update to the rating model,
which also introduced the new definition of default set out in Article 178 of Regulation no. 575/2013 (CRR)
adopted by the Bank and consistent with the definition of impaired financial assets set out in IFRS 9. The update
to the rating model resulted in the change, from 30 June 2021, to one of the quantitative criteria established
by the Bank's updated policy to identify a "significant increase” in credit risk, exclusively as regards the staging
method defined for the loans portfolio. The new rule no longer refers to the worsening of rating classes, but it
is based on the change in the Lifetime Probability of Default in relation to the origination of the loan;
the change made to point “3 Recognition of revenue and costs” relating to the method of recognition of revenue
relating to the mandatory service of producing research in analyst coverage and financial analysis services,
exercised in relation to institutional customers which, starting from 2021, occurs at the time the research is
issued and no longer at a later point, based on the amount that the Bank has the right to invoice;
the change made to the section “Information on fair value” relating to the introduction of the criteria, previously
not included as relating to a case that was not present, relating to the valuation of investments with a lock-up
clause in UCIs managed directly by Group companies.
The accounting standards adopted as concerns classification criteria, measurement and de-recognition, as well as the
methods of recognition of costs and revenue are reported below:
1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets other than those recognised as Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortised cost. Specifically, this item includes:
- financial assets held for trading, mainly represented by debt securities, UCIs and equity instruments and the positive
value of derivative contracts held for trading (Other/Trading);
- financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value, represented by financial assets that do not meet the requirements
for measurement at amortised cost ("Hold to Collect") or at fair value through other comprehensive income (“Held to
Collect and Sell”).
These are financial assets whose contractual terms do not exclusively envisage capital reimbursements and interest
payments on the amount of principal to be repaid (failing the "SPPI test") or that are not held within the framework of
a business model whose objective is to hold assets for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or within the
framework of a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of contractual cash flows and
through the sale of financial assets; capital instruments for which the Bank and the other Group companies do not
exercise the irrevocable option for the measurement of these instruments at fair value through other comprehensive
income are also included in this category.
- financial assets at fair value, i.e. financial assets thus defined at the time of initial recognition and where the
requirements are met. In relation to this case, an entity may irrevocably designate a financial asset at fair value through
profit or loss at the time of recognition if, and only if, by doing so, it eliminates or significantly reduces a valuation
inconsistency.
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
334
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets. In such cases, which
are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the category at fair value through profit
or loss into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets at amortised cost or Financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income). The transfer value is the fair value at the time of reclassification and
the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of reclassification. In this case, the effective interest
rate of the reclassified financial asset is determined on the basis of its fair value on the date of reclassification, and that
date is considered as the date of initial recognition for the allocation to the various stages of credit risk (stage
assignment) for the purposes of determining impairment.
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and equity instruments, on the
disbursement date for loans and on the subscription date for derivative contracts.
Upon initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised at fair value, without
considering transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument itself.
Measurement criteria
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. The
effects of the application of this measurement criteria are charged to the Income Statement.
Market prices are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments listed on an active market. In the absence of
an active market, commonly adopted estimation methods and valuation models are employed that take into account
all risk factors correlated with the instruments and that are based on market data, such as: valuation of listed instruments
with similar characteristics, discounted cash flow calculations, option price calculation models or values posted in recent
comparable transactions. For equity instruments and derivatives involving equity instruments not listed on an active
market, the cost method is used as a fair value estimate only in a residual way and limited to a few circumstances, i.e.
in the case where none of the measurement methods mentioned above are applicable (since the most recent
information available to measure fair value is insufficient), or in the presence of a wide range of possible fair value
assessments, in which the cost represents the most significant estimate.
For further information on the criteria for determining fair value, please refer to the specific "Information on fair value"
section.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.

2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:
- the financial asset is held according to a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of
contractual cash flows and through sale (Held to Collect and Sell);
- the contractual terms of the financial asset envisage, at certain dates, cash flows represented solely by payments of
principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid (passing the "SPPI test").
The item also includes equity instruments, not held for trading, for which the option of measurement at fair value
through other comprehensive income was exercised at the time of initial recognition.
Specifically, this item includes:
- debt securities that are part of a Held to Collect and Sell business model and passed the SPPI test;
- investments that do not qualify as establishing control or joint control over or association with companies and are not
held for trading, for which the option of measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income was exercised;
- loans that are part of a Held to Collect and Sell business model and passed the SPPI test;
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets.
In such cases, which are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the category at fair
value through other comprehensive income into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets
at amortised cost or Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The transfer value is the fair value at the time
of reclassification and the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of reclassification. In the event
of reclassification from this category to the amortised cost category, the cumulative gain (loss) recognised in the
valuation reserve is recognised as an adjustment to the fair value of the financial asset at the date of reclassification.
Whereas in the event of reclassification in the category of fair value through profit or loss, the cumulative gain (loss)
previously recognised in the valuation reserve is reclassified from equity to the income statement (in the item “Net
trading expense”).
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and equity instruments, on the
disbursement date for loans. Upon their initial recognition, assets are measured at fair value, which generally
corresponds to the price paid. Any transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument itself are included
in the purchase cost.
Measurement criteria
Subsequent to initial recognition, Assets classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, other than equity
instruments, are measured at fair value, with impacts deriving from application of amortised cost, the effects of
impairment and any exchange rate effect recognised in the Income Statement, whereas other gains or losses arising
from a change in fair value are recognised in a specific equity reserve until the financial asset is derecognised. Upon
disposal, in whole or in part, the cumulative gain or loss in the valuation reserve is reversed to the Income Statement.
The equity instruments chosen for classification in this category are measured at fair value and the amounts recognised
as a balancing entry in equity must not be subsequently transferred to the income statement, even in the event of
disposal. The only component relating to the equity instruments in question that is recognised in the income statement
is represented by the related dividends.
Fair value is determined on the basis of the criteria already illustrated for Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss.
For further information on the criteria for determining fair value, please refer to the "Information on fair value" Section.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - both in the form of debt securities and loans - are
subject to the testing for a significant increase in credit risk (impairment) required by IFRS 9, as are Assets at amortised
cost, with the consequent recognition in the income statement of an adjustment to cover expected losses. More
specifically, on instruments classified in Stage 1 (i.e. on financial assets at the time of origination, where performing,
and on instruments for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk compared to the initial recognition
date), a 12-month expected loss is recorded at the initial recognition date and at each subsequent reporting date. On
the other hand, for instruments classified as Stage 2 (performing positions for which there has been a significant increase
in credit risk compared to the date of initial recognition) and Stage 3 (non-performing exposures), an expected loss is
recognised over the life of the financial instrument.
Vice versa, equity instruments are not subject to impairment.
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.
3. Financial assets at amortised cost
Classification criteria
This category includes financial assets (in particular loans and debt securities) that meet both of the following conditions:
- the financial asset is held according to a business model whose objective is achieved both through the collection of
contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial asset envisage, at certain dates, cash flows represented
solely by payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid (passing the "SPPI test"). More
specifically, different types of loans to banks and customers and debt securities meeting the requirements set out in the
previous paragraph are included in this item.
This category also includes operating loans related to the provision of financial activities and services as established by
the Consolidated Banking Law and the Consolidated Financial Law.
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets, reclassifications to other
categories of financial assets are not permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of
financial assets. In such cases, which are expected to be highly infrequent, financial assets may be reclassified from the
category at amortised cost into one of the other two categories envisaged by IFRS 9 (Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income or Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The transfer value is the
fair value at the time of reclassification and the effects of reclassification operate prospectively from the date of
reclassification. Gains and losses resulting from the difference between the amortised cost of the financial asset and its
fair value are recognised in the income statement in the event of reclassification as Financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and Equity, in the specific valuation reserve, in the event of reclassification as Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income.

Loans and receivables with customers also include receivables for lease transactions relating to sub-leases of portions
of properties.
Recognition criteria
Financial assets are initially recognised on the settlement date for debt securities and on the disbursement date for
loans. Upon initial recognition, assets are recorded at fair value, including transaction costs or income directly attributable
to the instrument itself.
In particular, with regard to loans, the date of disbursement normally coincides with the date of signing the agreement.
If these dates do not coincide, a commitment to disburse funds is recorded at the time of signing the agreement, which
ends on the date of disbursement of the loan. The loan is recognised on the basis of its fair value, equal to the amount
disbursed, or subscription price, including costs/income directly attributable to the individual loan and determinable from
the start of the transaction, even if settled at a later date.
Costs that, despite having the above characteristics, are reimbursed by the debtor counterparty or classified as ordinary
internal administrative costs are excluded.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, the financial assets in question are measured at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method. In these terms, the asset is recognised in the financial statements at an amount equal to its initial
recognition value, less principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation (calculated using the effective
interest rate method referred to above) of the difference between this initial amount and the amount at maturity
(typically attributable to costs/income charged directly to the individual asset). The effective interest rate is determined
by calculating the rate that equals the present value of the future cash flows of the asset, for principal and interest, to
the amount disbursed including costs/income related to the financial asset. This accounting method, which is based on
a financial approach, allows the economic effect of costs/income directly attributable to a financial asset to be distributed
over its expected residual life.
The amortised cost method is not used for assets - measured at historical cost - whose short duration makes the effect
of the application of the discounting logic negligible, for those without a defined maturity or revocable loans.
The measurement criteria are strictly related to the inclusion of the instruments in question in one or the three stages
(stages of credit risk) envisaged by IFRS 9, the last of which (Stage 3) includes non-performing financial assets and the
remaining (Stages 1 and 2) performing financial assets.
With reference to the accounting representation of the above valuation effects, impairment losses relating to this type
of asset are recognised in the Income Statement:
- upon initial recognition, for an amount equal to the twelve-month expected credit loss;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where the credit risk has not significantly increased compared to initial
recognition, in relation to changes in the amount of impairment for expected losses in the following twelve months;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where the credit risk significantly increased compared to initial
recognition, in relation to the recognition of impairment for expected losses over the life of the asset as provided for in
the contract;
- upon subsequent measurement of the asset, where - after a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
- the "significance" of that increase has since disappeared, in relation to the adjustment of cumulative impairment losses
to take account of the change from a full lifetime expected credit loss of the instrument to a twelve-month expected
credit loss.
If the financial assets in question are performing, they are measured in order to determine the impairment losses to be
recorded in the financial statements at the level of the individual credit relation (or security "tranche"), depending on
the risk parameters represented by probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD).
If, in addition to a significant increase in credit risk, there is evidence of impairment, the amount of the loss is measured
as the difference between the book value of the asset - classified as "non-performing", like all other transactions with
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
338
the same counterparty - and the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate. The amount of the loss to be recognised in the Income Statement is defined on the basis of an analytical
valuation process or determined by homogeneous categories and, therefore, analytically applied to each position, and
considers, as described in detail in the chapter "Impairment losses of financial assets", forward looking information and
possible alternative recovery scenarios.
Non-performing assets include financial instruments that have been granted the status of bad loans, unlikely to pay or
past due/overdue by more than ninety days according to the rules of the Bank of Italy, consistent with IAS/IFRS and
European Supervisory regulations.
The expected cash flows take into account the expected recovery time and the estimated realisable value of any
guarantee.
The original effective interest rate of each asset remains unchanged over time even though the relationship has been
restructured, resulting in a change in the contractual interest rate and even if the relationship ceases to bear the
contractual interest for practical purposes.
If the reasons for impairment no longer apply due to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, value
recoveries are recognised in the Income Statement. The value recovery cannot exceed the amortised cost that the
financial instrument would have had in the absence of previous adjustments.
Value recoveries related to the passing of time are recognised in net interest income.
In some cases, during the life of the financial assets in question and, in particular, of receivables, the original contractual
terms can be amended by the parties to the contract. When, over the life of an instrument, the contractual clauses are
amended, it is necessary to test whether the original asset must continue to be recognised in the financial statements
or, on the contrary, whether the original instrument must be derecognised from the financial statements.
In general, changes in a financial asset lead to its derecognition and to the recognition of a new asset when they are
"substantial". The assessment of whether the change is "substantial" must be carried out based on qualitative and
quantitative considerations. In some cases it may be clear, without resorting to complex analyses, that the changes
introduced substantially modify the characteristics and/or contractual flows of a given asset while, in other cases, further
analyses (including quantitative analyses) will have to be carried out in order to appreciate their effects and test the
need to derecognise or not the asset and to recognise a new financial instrument.
Therefore, qualitative and quantitative analyses aimed at defining the "substantial" nature of the contractual changes
made to a financial asset will have to consider:
- the purposes for which the changes were made: for example, renegotiations for commercial reasons and forbearance
due to financial difficulties of the counterparty:
the former, aimed at "retaining" the customer, involve a debtor who is not in financial difficulty. These cases
include all renegotiation operations that are aimed at adjusting the cost of the debt to market conditions.
the latter, carried out for "credit risk reasons" (forbearance measures), are attributable to the bank's attempt to
maximise the recovery of the cash flows of the original loan. As a rule, the underlying risks and benefits are not
substantially transferred after the changes and, consequently, the accounting representation that provides the
most relevant information for the reader of the financial statements (except for that set out below on the subject
of objective elements), is that made through "modification accounting" and not through "derecognition", which
implies the recognition in the income statement of the difference between the book value and the present value
of the modified cash flows discounted at the original interest rate.
- the presence of specific objective elements ("triggers") that affect the characteristics and/or contractual flows of the
financial instrument (such as, for example, a change in the currency or a change in the type of risk to which one is
exposed, when correlated with equity and commodity parameters), which are deemed to entail derecognition in view
of their impact (expected to be significant) on the original contractual flows.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

339
Derecognition criteria
Financial assets are derecognised only if the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from the financial asset expired or
if the entity transferred the financial asset and the sale resulted in the substantial transfer of all risks and benefits related
to the assets. On the other hand, if a significant portion of risks and benefits related to the financial assets sold has been
maintained, these assets will continue to be recognised, even if the legal ownership of the assets has actually been
transferred.
If it is not possible to determine the substantial transfer of risks and benefits, financial assets are derecognised when
the control thereof is transferred. Otherwise, the fact that even partial control has been retained means that the assets
must be carried for an amount proportional to the remaining involvement, which is measured by the exposure to
changes in the value of the assets sold and the changes in their cash flows.
Lastly, the financial assets sold are derecognised if the contractual rights to receive the relative cash flows are retained,
but an obligation is concurrently assumed to pay out those flows, and only those flows, without a significant delay, to
other third parties.
4 - Hedging transactions
Classification criteria
Risk hedging transactions are directed at neutralising potential losses, attributable to a determined risk, and recognisable
on a determined element or group of elements, if that specific risk should actually arise.
IFRS 9 envisaged, at the time of its introduction, the possibility of continuing to apply in full the provisions of the former
IAS 39 on hedge accounting (in the carved-out version approved by the European Commission) for each type of hedge
(both for micro hedges and for macro hedges).
Recognition criteria
Hedging derivatives, like all derivatives, are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value.
Measurement criteria
Hedging derivatives are measured at fair value. In the case of fair value hedging, the change in fair value of the hedged
element is offset with the change in fair value of the hedging instrument. This offset is recognised through the
recognition in the income statement - under item 90 "Fair value adjustments in hedge accounting" - of said value
changes, referred both to the hedged element (with regard to the changes caused by the underlying risk factor), and to
the hedging instrument. Any difference, which represents the partial ineffectiveness of the hedge, consequently
constitutes its net economic effect.
The derivative is designated as a hedging derivative if there is a formalised documentation of the relationship between
the hedged instrument and the hedging instrument and if it is effective at the time when the hedge starts and,
prospectively, throughout the time of its validity.
The effectiveness of the hedge depends on the extent to which the changes in fair value of the hedged instrument are
offset by those of the hedging instrument. Therefore, the effectiveness is determined by the comparison between the
aforesaid changes, taking into account the intent pursued by the company when the hedge was established.
If the hedge is ineffective, hedge accounting, as set out above, is stopped, the hedging derivative is reclassified among
trading instruments and the hedged financial instrument reacquires the measurement criteria that matches its
classification in the financial statements.

5 - Equity investments
Classification criteria
The item "Equity investments" includes investments in associated companies and jointly controlled companies; as
required by IAS 28, this item also includes equity interests classified as joint ventures.
Equity interests in other companies in which the Parent Company does not exercise control or over which it has no
significant influence, either directly or through its subsidiaries, but which are acquired as long-term investments and not
held for the purpose of trading, are classified as "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income."
Recognition criteria
Equity investments are recorded at their settlement date and at purchase - or subscription - cost, including the additional
charges and subsequent adjustment, on the basis of the stake held in the equity of the investee company.
Measurement and recognition criteria of income statement items
After initial recognition, the book value is adjusted to take into account changes in the investee company's equity. The
pro rata allocation of the profit for the year of the investee company is recorded under item 250 "Net loss on equity
investments" of the income statement.
Derecognition criteria
Equity investments are derecognised when they are transferred, with the substantial transfer of all related risks and
benefits, or when the contractual rights to cash flows deriving from them expire.
6 - Property, equipment and investment property
Classification criteria
This item includes the assets for permanent use held to generate income and the property held for investment purposes.
Property, equipment and investment property also include advance payments made for the purchase and revamping of
assets that are not yet part of the production process and hence not yet subject to depreciation.
Rights of use acquired through leases and relating to the use of property or equipment (for the lessees) and assets
granted under an operating lease (for the lessors) are also included.
Recognition criteria
All classes of property, plant and equipment recognised as assets are initially recorded at cost, insofar as it is
representative of their fair value. The cost includes the purchase price, non-recoverable purchase taxes and any cost
directly descending from the installation of the asset for its intended use, minus any trade discounts.
Financial expenses are recorded according to IAS 23 and, therefore, recognised as a cost in the year in which they were
incurred.
Overheads and administrative expenses are not included in the initial cost of the assets in question, unless they are
directly descended from the purchase of the asset or its installation.
Lease agreements, in accordance with IFRS 16, are accounted for on the basis of the right of use model whereby, at the
initial date, the lessee has a financial obligation to make payments due to the lessor as compensation for its right to
use the underlying asset during the lease term. The duration of the lease contract is determined taking into account the
period of time during which the contract is payable; the lease contract is considered no
longer payable when the lessee and the lessor each have the right to terminate the lease without the consent of the
other party, exposing themselves at most to a minimum penalty.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

341
When the asset is made available to the lessee for use (initial recognition date), the right of use is recognised - net of
VAT and any sub-leases - as a balancing entry to the payable equal to the present value of the lease payments to be
made to the lessor.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, instrumental fixed assets and fixed investments are measured at cost minus the
accumulated depreciation and taking into account any impairment losses and/or value recoveries.
This principle has been adopted because it was deemed more appropriate than the revaluation method provided by the
reference accounting standard.
Property, equipment and investment property are depreciated each year, at rates calculated by reference to the residual
possibility of using the assets, their related useful life and realisable value, except for land (incorporated in the asset
value) and works of art, insofar as they have an indefinite life. In the case of land whose value is incorporated in the
value of the property, equipment and investment property, the relevant separation is made only for free-standing
buildings held. For assets acquired during the year, the depreciation is calculated on a daily basis starting on the date
on which the asset was first used.
Property, equipment and investment property featuring an unlimited useful life cannot be depreciated.
Subsequent expenses relating to property, plant and equipment, already recorded in the accounts, are added to the
book value of the asset when it is likely that the future economic benefits exceed the previously established ordinary
performance of the asset.
At the end of each reporting period, an impairment test is carried out on the assets. More specifically, a comparison is
made between the book value of the asset (purchase cost less accumulated depreciation) and its recoverable amount,
equal to the greater of the fair value, minus any costs to sell, and the related value of use of the asset, meaning the
present value of the future cash flows expected from the asset. Adjustments are recorded in the income statement
under item 210 "Depreciation and net impairment losses on property, equipment and investment property". If the
reasons that led to the recognition of the loss cease to apply, a value recovery is recorded that may not exceed the
value that the asset would have had minus the depreciation calculated in the absence of previous impairment losses.
Property, equipment and investment property consisting of rights of use acquired under a lease, recorded in accordance
with IFRS 16, are measured using the cost model and depreciated over the lease term and periodically subjected to
impairment testing.
Derecognition criteria
The book value of property, equipment and investment property must be derecognised on its disposal, or when no
future economic benefit is expected from its use.
The right of use deriving from lease agreements is eliminated from the Financial Statements at the end of the term of
the lease agreement, which may be modified with respect to the initial recognition of the right of use, to take into
account the exercise of any early extinction, renewal or purchase options not considered at the time of recognition.
7 - Intangible assets
Classification criteria
Intangible assets include long-term application software. The positive difference between the value of the assets and
liabilities acquired following a business combination and the related purchase price of the combined business entity is
recorded under intangible assets as goodwill.
Recognition criteria
Intangible assets are recorded at their purchase cost. The purchase cost may be adjusted for ancillary charges. The costs
incurred for the purchase of intangible assets are recognised only if they are identifiable, their cost can be measured
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

342
reliably, they can be controlled and they are able to generate future economic benefits. Otherwise, the cost of the
intangible asset is recorded in the income statement in the year in which it was incurred. The Banca Finnat Group, in
view of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, decided not to apply the standard to any operating leases on intangible
assets. Therefore, Intangible assets do not include rights of use acquired under operating leases (as lessee) and relating
to the use of an intangible asset.
Measurement and recognition criteria of income statement items
Following their initial recognition, intangible assets, including rights of use acquired under operating leases, are
measured at cost, less the accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. The "at cost" measurement method
was deemed more appropriate than the "revaluation" method. The cost of intangible assets is amortised, minus the
recoverable amount, on the basis of their estimated useful life. For assets acquired during the year, the depreciation is
calculated on a daily basis starting on the date on which the asset was first used. In the case of assets transferred and/or
disposed of during the year, the amortisation is calculated on a daily basis until the date of transfer and/or disposal.
If the useful life of the fixed asset cannot be established and appears to be indefinite (goodwill), the asset is not
amortised; however it is periodically tested for impairment and, in any case, each time objective evidence is found to
this effect its initial recognition value may have to be changed. The performance of this test entails the prior allocation
of goodwill to a cash generating unit whose value can be reliably estimated. Goodwill impairment is calculated as the
difference between its book value and the estimated recoverable amount, determined by reference to the cash
generating unit to which the goodwill in question has been allocated. Any impairment calculated as the difference
between the book value of the fixed asset and its recoverable amount is recorded in the income statement under item
"270 Goodwill impairment losses". Goodwill impairment may not be reversed in future accounting periods as required
by IAS 36.
Regarding intangible assets other than goodwill, if there is evidence of impairment, an estimate is made each year of
the recoverable amount of the assets. The amount of the loss, recorded in the income statement, is equal to the
difference between the book value of the asset and its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of a specific
intangible asset cannot be determined, then the asset must be assigned to the smallest independent cash generating
unit (CGU), and this is referred to in estimating the recoverable value and comparing it with the book value, to establish
the possible impairment loss.
Derecognition criteria
Intangible assets are derecognised when they are sold or when no future economic benefits are expected from their
use.
9 - Current and deferred tax
Current and deferred income taxes, calculated in accordance with the applicable domestic regulations, are recorded in
the income statement, except in the case of items directly charged or credited to equity. Tax provisions are calculated
on a prudential basis and also include the risk provisions set aside in connection with the ongoing disputes.
In 2004, the Bank and its Italian-based subsidiaries joined the "domestic consolidated tax system", pursuant to Article
117/129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act. The option was renewed in June 2019 for the 2019-2021 period.
By virtue of this option, the Group companies determine their proportion of the taxes payable and the corresponding
tax income (taxable income or tax loss) is transferred to the Parent Company, relating to which a single taxable income
or loss is reported (resulting from the algebraic sum of its own and its participating subsidiaries' incomes/losses) and,
consequently, a single income tax debit/credit of the company is determined.
Deferred taxation is calculated based on the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book value of the
assets and liabilities and their tax value, resulting in future taxable amounts or tax deductions. For this purpose,
"temporary taxable differences" means those that, in the future, will determine taxable amounts, while "temporary
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
343
deductible differences" those that, in the future, will determine deductible amounts. Deferred tax assets are recorded in
the financial statements insofar as they are likely to be recovered, based on the capability of the Bank, and of the other
Group companies belonging to the "domestic consolidated tax system", to generate taxable income, in the future, on a
regular basis.
Deferred taxation is calculated based on the applicable rates, with respect to the temporary taxable differences, with
respect to which there is the likelihood of effectively incurring taxes, and the temporary deductible differences, with
respect to which there is the reasonable certainty of recovering tax money back.
Deferred tax liabilities are calculated taking into account the rates expected when payment falls due.
If the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income statement items, the balancing entry is represented by income
tax.
When deferred tax assets and liabilities concern transactions recorded in equity, without affecting the income statement,
the directly balancing entry is recorded in equity, in the specific reserves, where provided (Valuation reserves).
Current tax assets/liabilities related to income tax for the year are recognised net of any tax paid in advance and any
withholding tax incurred.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the statement of financial position, respectively under
"Tax assets" and "Tax liabilities".
10 - Provisions for risks and charges
Provisions for risks and charges for commitments and guarantees given
The sub-item of provisions for risks and charges under examination includes the provisions for credit risk recognised for
commitments to lend funds and guarantees given that fall within the scope of application of the rules on impairment in
accordance with IFRS 9. For these cases, in principle, the same methods of allocation between the three stages of credit
risk and calculation of the expected loss shown with reference to financial assets at amortised cost or at fair value
through other comprehensive income, are adopted.
Other provisions
The other provisions for risks and charges include the allocations relating to legal obligations or connected with
employment agreements or with disputes, including those of a tax-related nature, originated from a past event for
which it is likely that economic resources will be expended to comply with said obligations, provided that a reliable
estimate of the related amount can be made.
If the time element is significant (expected outlay beyond 12 months), the allocations are discounted to the present
with reference to current market rates. The allocation and any subsequent increases in the provisions due to the time
factor are recognised in the income statement.
The allocated provisions are subject to periodic reviews and when it becomes unlikely that possible costs may be
incurred, the allocations are fully or partly reversed to the benefit of the income statement.
11. Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Classification criteria
Due to banks, Due to customers and Securities issued include the various forms of interbank and customer deposits,
repurchase agreements with the obligation to repurchase forward bonds and other funding instruments issued, net of
any amounts repurchased.
This item also includes the payables recorded by the company as a lessee under leases.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
344
Recognition criteria
The initial recognition of these financial liabilities occurs on the date the contract is signed, which normally coincides
with the date of receipt of the sums collected or the date of issue of the debt securities.
Initial recognition is carried out based on the fair value of the liabilities, generally equal to the amount received or the
issue price, plus any additional costs/income directly attributable to the individual funding or issue transaction. Internal
administrative costs are excluded.
With regard to lease payables, the lessee, on the commencement date of the contract, recognises the payable equal to
the present value of the payments due for the entire duration of the contract, discounted using marginal lending rates
identified by the Group equal to the interest rate that Banca Finnat should pay for a loan, with similar duration and
guarantees, necessary to obtain an asset whose value is equal to the asset consisting of the right of use in a similar
economic environment.
Measurement criteria
Following their initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate
method.
Exceptions are short-term liabilities, for which the time factor is negligible, which remain recorded at the value received.
Lease payables are updated, as indicated by IFRS 16, in the presence of contractual changes due to: change in the
duration of the lease; change in the guaranteed residual value, change in the exercise of the purchase option or
recalculation of fixed or variable payments.
Derecognition criteria
Financial liabilities are derecognised when they expire or are discharged. Derecognition takes place also where bonds
previously issued are repurchased. The difference between the book value of liabilities and the amount paid to purchase
them is posted in the Income Statement.
The replacement on the market of treasury shares after they have been repurchased is considered tantamount to a new
issue, with the entry of the new placement price.
12. Financial liabilities held for trading
Classification criteria
This item includes financial liabilities, regardless of their type, classified in the trading portfolio.
In particular, this category of liabilities includes trading derivatives with a negative fair value as well as embedded
derivatives with a negative fair value that are present in complex contracts - where the primary contract is a financial
liability - but not strictly related to them. Liabilities that originate from uncovered short positions generated by securities
trading are also included.
Recognition criteria
These liabilities are recognised at the subscription or issue date at a value equal to the fair value of the instrument,
without considering any directly attributable transaction cost or income.
Measurement criteria
All trading liabilities are measured at fair value with the result of the measurement recognised in the Income Statement.
Derecognition criteria
Financial liabilities held for trading are derecognised from the financial statements when the contractual rights to the
corresponding cash flows expire or when the financial liability is sold, substantially transferring all related risks and
benefits. The resulting difference is recorded in the income statement.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

14 - Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in Euros on initial recognition, applying the spot exchange rate in force at the
date of the transaction.
When preparing the financial statements, items in foreign currencies are recorded as follows:
monetary instruments are recorded at the spot exchange rate on the date of preparation of the financial
statements, with foreign exchange differences recorded in the income statement under the item "Net trading
expense";
non-monetary instruments are measured at historical cost, at the exchange rate in force at the time of the
original transaction;
non-monetary instruments measured at fair value are recorded at the spot exchange rate in force at the time
of preparation of the financial statements.
Exchange rate differences relating to non-monetary items are recorded applying the accounting standards used for the
gains and losses relating to the original instruments.
16 - Other information
1. Treasury shares
Treasury shares held are stated in the financial statements at cost, adjusting equity by a corresponding amount. No
gains or losses are recorded in the income statement in connection with the purchase, sale, issue and derecognition of
instruments that represent the Bank's capital. The consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
Any marginal cost incurred for the repurchase of treasury shares is recorded as a decrease in equity, as long as it is
directly related to the capital transaction that otherwise would not have been incurred.
2. Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits are determined as the Group's present obligation towards its employees, in terms of the
related termination indemnity. The amount of this obligation on the date of the financial statements is estimated using
actuarial methods and time-discounted using the "Projected Unit Credit Method", whereby each period of service is
viewed as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and each unit is measured separately to build up the
final obligation. Once the final obligation is obtained, the Group needs to calculate its present value, even if part of the
obligation falls in the twelve-month period after the reporting period. Actuarial profits/losses deriving from defined
benefit plans are stated in Equity under Valuation reserves. All other components of the provisions for post-employment
benefits accrued during the year are posted in the income statement under item 190. Administrative expenses: a)
personnel expenses in "Post-employment benefits", for the amounts paid to the INPS Treasury; "payments to external
pension funds: defined contribution" for payments made to Supplementary Retirement Plans and "provisions for post-
employment benefits" for the adjustment of the provisions present in the company.
3. Recognition of revenue and costs
Revenue
Revenue is gross flows of economic benefits deriving from the ordinary activity of the company, when these flows
determine increases in equity other than increases deriving from the contribution of shareholders. Revenue is recognised
in the financial statements on an accruals basis.
In particular, fee and commission income and other income from services are recognised in the financial statements
only if all the following criteria are met:
1) the contract with a customer is identified;
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
346
2) performance obligations are identified;
3) the transaction price is determined;
4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations;
5) revenue is recognised when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue configured as variable consideration is recognised in the income statement if it can be reliably estimated and
only if it is highly probable that this consideration must not be reversed from the income statement in future periods in
whole or in a significant part.
In the event of a strong prevalence of uncertainty factors related to the nature of the consideration, it will be recognised
only when this uncertainty is resolved. Factors that could increase the likelihood and extent of the downward adjustment
of revenue include, among other things, the following:
a the amount of the consideration is very sensitive to factors beyond the control of the entity (e.g.: market
volatility);
b experience with the type of contract is limited;
c it is usual to offer a wide range of price concessions or to change the terms and conditions of payment
of similar contracts under similar circumstances;
d the contract has a large number and a wide range of possible amounts of remuneration.
The consideration for the contract, the collection of which must be probable, is allocated to the individual obligations
arising from the contract. The allocation must be based on the selling prices that would have been applied in a transaction
involving the individual contractual commitment (standalone selling price). The best indication of the standalone selling
price is the price of the good or service that can be observed when the company sells the good or service separately in
similar circumstances and to similar customers. If the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it must be
estimated.
In the event that the customer obtains a discount for the purchase of a bundle of goods or services, the discount must
be allocated between all the performance obligations provided for in the contract. The discount can be attributed to one
or more obligations if all of the following criteria are met:
a. the entity normally sells separately each distinct good or service;
b. the entity normally also sells separately the bundle(s) of some of the distinct goods or services, giving a discount
on the standalone selling prices of the goods or services of each bundle, and the discount is substantially the same
discount provided for in the contract.
Revenue is recognised over time when the goods or services have been transferred (satisfaction of performance
obligations); an asset is transferred when the customer has control of the asset, i.e. when it can use the goods or service
directly and obtain all the benefits. Depending on the timing of the satisfaction of the performance obligations, the
revenue can be recognised:
when control is passed at a certain point in time; factors that may indicate the point in time at which control
passes include:
o the entity has a present right to payment for the asset;
o the customer has legal title to the asset;
o the entity has transferred physical possession of the asset;
o the customer has the significant risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset;
o the customer has accepted the asset.
or, alternatively, over the time provided for the satisfaction of the performance obligations, if one of the
following criteria is met:
o the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided by the entity as the
entity performs;
o the entity's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls or from which it can
derive all the benefits (potential cash flows);
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
347
o the entity's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that considers the effective yield of the asset.
The positive economic components accrued on financial liabilities are recognised under the item “Interest and similar
income”.
Default interest is recorded under the item “Interest and similar income”, when it is actually collected.
Dividends are recorded in the accounts in accordance with the shareholders' right to receive payment.
Revenue is recognised over time when the goods or services have been transferred (satisfaction of performance
obligations): an asset is transferred when the customer has control of the asset, i.e. when it can use the goods or service
directly and obtain all the benefits.
Disclosure required by IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers).
Nature of the services
A description of the main businesses from which the Group generates its revenue from contracts with customers,
distinguished by business segment, is provided below.
Banca Finnat
Private banking and Banking Services
The main services provided to the private customers of the Bank by the private bankers of the Sales Department include
the revenue deriving from contracts for individual portfolio management, trading, trading with advisory services,
placement, and all agreements associated with a current account (cash services, payments, money management, debit
cards, credit card loans, home banking, etc.) All performance obligations are defined by formalised contracts. If the
contracts include the performance of distinct services, the revenue pertaining thereto is:
• recorded separately on the basis of standalone sale prices defined contractually (as in the case of fees for
services of individual portfolio management, trading and order execution on financial instruments, placement
and of fees for the transmission of documents, reports and communications);
• recorded on the basis of the mandatory service performed if the services cannot be separated within the
context of the contract because one constitutes the input of the other (as in the case of the combination of the
advisory and securities custody services) or because they are interdependent, not separable and not sold
individually (as in the case of banking services associated with a current account).
Depending on the way the services are performed, revenue is recorded accurately (e.g. in the case of fees for trading,
collection and payment and subscription) or, in case of services performed over time, based on the value that the
services completed until the considered date have for the customer, corresponding to the amount provided by the
contract.
Individual portfolio management contracts provide for the debiting (with annual or less than annual frequency) of
variable overperformance fees with respect to reference parameters. The determination of these fees depends on the
result achieved at the end of the reference period, which cannot be estimated on the occasion of the quarterly
measurements, since it is not highly probable that when, subsequently, the uncertainty associated with the variable
consideration is resolved, there will be no significant downwards adjustment of the amount of the recorded cumulated
revenue; these fees are affected by external factors with respect to the management activity of the bank (such as
market volatility and the performance of the reference parameter).
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

348
Institutional customers
The main services provided by the Institutional Customers Organisational Unit of the Bank include: the asset management
services performed on appointment by UCIs, the management and trading services targeted to corporate customers and
to qualified counterparties, the services targeted to listed issuers (specialist operator services, qualified operator services,
analyst coverage, centralised management, etc.).
All performance obligations are defined by formalised contracts. Management and trading services are recognised
according to the same rules envisaged for private customers.
Services directed to listed issuers are carried out over time, because customers benefit from the activity carried out
continuously and they are consequently recognised based on the value for customers of the services transferred until
the date considered on the basis of the amount the Bank is entitled to receive (with the exception of the service of
financial analysis and the production of research as part of the analyst coverage service, whose revenue is recognised
at the date of issue of the research).
Centralised management services can be sold on the basis of individual modules or as packages; in this case, the value
of the service provided consists of the single fee envisaged for the different services included in the package and any
discount with respect to the acquisition of the individual services is allocated proportionately among the different
mandatory services performed. If the contracts include services whose revenue is recognised exactly at the time of
execution, the portion referred to these services is recorded at the time of performance or, if the services were not
performed within the reference period of the contract, at its periodic expiration.
Advisory and Corporate Finance
"Advisory services on financial structure" rendered to corporate customers by the Advisory & Corporate Finance
Organisational Unit of the Bank to provide assistance to customers in major corporate finance matters (mergers &
acquisitions, listings and IPOs, company appraisals, industrial and financial restructuring, project financing, strategic
consultancy), are defined by formalised contracts. Depending on the type of assistance provided, the contract may entail
the performance of different activities, which, however, are necessary inputs for the achievement of the objective
provided for by the contract and, therefore, are inseparable and included in a single mandatory service. This service is
considered completed over time regardless of the envisaged invoicing timelines because: the customer benefits from
the assistance service rendered by the Bank on a continuous basis; performance of the activity does not present an
alternative use for the Bank, being carried out exclusively for the Customer according to his/her specific characteristics
and requirements; any adaptation of the activities performed for another use is subject to practical limitations because
the specifications of the activities carried out are unique for that Customer; throughout the duration of the agreement,
the Bank is entitled to require payment of the service completed up to the date considered even if the contract is
terminated by the Customer for reasons other than the Bank's failure to perform. However, if the assistance contract
requires issuing a declaration of appropriateness for the purposes of listing, the connected fees are recognised exactly,
as the Customer receives the benefits deriving from fulfilling the obligation to obtain listing on the market only on the
issue date.
Any success or performance fees are instead recognised only in case of formalisation of the transactions and when the
conditions underlying their ascertainment are met; these are variable fees which the Bank cannot determine in a highly
probable manner before the "resolution of the uncertainty" associated with the fees themselves, being conditioned by
factors on which the Bank has no control (such as actions performed by third parties: customers, investors or lenders).
InvestiRE SGR S.p.A.
The purpose of the real estate asset management company is to manage professionally and enhance the value of the
Assets of the Funds managed, carrying out its own real estate initiatives, in accordance with the investment policies of
each Fund. Within the scope of its activities, the asset management company identifies and carries out the investments
that by nature and intrinsic characteristics are appropriate to achieve the objectives of the Funds, assessing the overall
risks of the portfolio. Within the scope of its activities, the asset management company also assesses and manages
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

349
liquidity risk, manages the accounting of the Funds and generally performs all the activities necessary for the purpose
of the fund, identified in the Management Regulation. The mandatory service identifiable in the formalised contracts is
the management and enhancement of the value of the Fund; the different services performed are similar to each other
and they share the way the benefit is transferred to the customer. Therefore, they are considered a single mandatory
service. The management fees, development fees and sale fees provided for in the contracts are recognised
progressively according to the elapsing of time, assessing progress with the output-based method; revenue is
consequently recognised on a quarterly basis on an accrual basis. Variable success fees, whose liquidation is
subordinated to meeting specific conditions set forth in the regulation, are recognised upon expiration of the lifetime
for the Fund (or at the shorter time interval envisaged by the regulation): however, if the requirements are met, an
early recognition of the success fees may be considered only if it is highly probable that the objective defined in the
regulation is achieved. In particular, the portion of the performance fees on the sales of the Public Real Estate Fund AIF
(FIP), not liquidated immediately, is recognised early with respect to the definitive accrual (envisaged on the date of
liquidation of the fund) if at the end of each reporting period it is deemed highly likely that there will be no significant
downwards adjustment of the amount of the cumulated revenue recognised and otherwise after accurately considering
all "limitations to the estimates of the variable consideration" envisaged by IFRS 15.57. The company deems that it has
such elements as to be able to make reasonable estimates on the probability that the agreed variable consideration will
be paid at the expiration of the fund and, on the occasion of each half-yearly closing of the fund, it verifies the conditions
envisaged in a specific analysis model in order to confirm the recognition of the variable consideration in question and
the related amount.
Natam SA
Natam, a Luxembourg-based asset management company, performs, in favour of the managed UCIs: a) collective
management services, such as investment management, central administration and registry services, marketing and
sales services and risk management services; b) ancillary services, such as governance, document production and IT
support management services. The company may delegate one or more of the activities performed to third parties. All
services are provided for by formalised contracts. The services per point a) follow the same model for transfer to the
customer and they are not sold separately by the Company. Consequently, they are considered a single performance
obligation. The service is performed over time and the fees received are recognised assessing progress with the method
based on the output measured on the basis of elapsed time; revenue is then recognised on a quarterly basis according
to the amount the company is contractually entitled to demand from the customer, corresponding to the value for the
customer of the services completed until the date considered. Any overperformance fees are recognised only when
they definitively accrue because the amount of the consideration is sensitive to factors outside the entity's control, and
in particular to market volatility and to third parties' judgement and actions and, therefore, they cannot be estimated on
a quarterly basis because it is not highly probable that there will be significant downwards adjustments of the
consideration accrued on the occasion of the quarterly reports.
The services per letter b) constitute distinct mandatory services whose price consists of the consideration provided for
contractually for each service because they correspond to prices the company could apply in case of separate sale of
the individual services to the customer. The services are performed and recorded over time as indicated for the services
per letter a) excepting services that entail the production of documents which are recognised exactly at the time of
performance because they refer to the production of material whose benefit to the customer is provided at the time of
its production and delivery.
Finnat Fiduciaria S.p.A.
The company provides customers with services pertaining to asset planning, trusteeship of financial assets and of
corporate assets, and performs guarantee functions.
All the services are formalised by contract.
The services are performed over time and the fees received are recognised assessing progress with the method based

on the output measured on the basis of elapsed time; revenue is then recognised according to the amount the company
is contractually entitled to demand from the customer, corresponding to the value for the customer of the services
completed until the date considered.
Finnat Gestioni S.A.
The company provides customers with the individual portfolio management service. The recognition of the fees follows
the procedures envisaged for the same service performed by the Bank.
Quantitative information is provided:
in part B - Information on the statement of financial position in section 4 - Financial assets valued at amortised
cost, quantitative information is provided regarding the assets/liabilities from contracts with customers not
debited in the current accounts based on a breakdown by type of service.
in part C - Information on the income statement in section 2 - Commissions, quantitative information is
provided regarding the revenue from contracts with customers based on a breakdown by type of service.
in part L of the Consolidated Financial Statements - Segment information provides quantitative information
relating to the revenue from contracts with customers, broken down by Group business segments
represented on the basis of a breakdown by type of service and a breakdown by assessment method.
Costs
Costs are recognised when they are incurred in compliance with the criterion of correlation between costs and revenue
that derive directly and jointly from the same transactions or events. Costs (including impairment losses) that cannot be
related to revenue are immediately recognised in the Income Statement.
Costs directly attributable to financial instruments at amortised cost, determinable from the start, regardless of the
moment when they are paid, are included in the Income Statement by applying the effective interest rate.
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis that considers the effective yield of the asset.
Negative income components accrued on financial assets are recognised in the item “Interest and similar expense”, an
item that also includes interest expense on lease payables (while Interest and similar income includes interest from
subleases).
Rents payable for property leases, company vehicles and other assets falling within the scope of IFRS 16 are not
recognised under Administrative expenses (as was the case under the previous IAS 17); against the recognition of the
rights of use deriving from lease agreements, impairment losses are recorded due to the depreciation of the right of
use calculated on a straight-line basis according to the duration of the contract or the useful life of the right itself, while,
against the recognition of the payable for the fees due for the rights of use, accrued interest expense is recorded.
Administrative expenses (Personnel expenses and Other administrative expenses) include short-term lease payments
and low-value lease payments as well as variable payments for lease payments not included in the valuation of lease
payables and the VAT component, if non-deductible.
"Sundry expenses" also include the depreciation of leasehold improvements acquired through leases classified as "Other
assets".
4. Classification of financial assets
The classification of financial assets in the three categories envisaged by IFRS 9 depends both on the business model
with which the financial instruments are managed and on the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of the financial
assets (or SPPI Test). The combination of these two elements results in the classification of financial assets as follows:
- Financial assets at amortised cost: assets that pass the SPPI test and fall within the Held to Collect (HTC) business
model;
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

351
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): assets that pass the SPPI test and
fall within the Held to Collect and Sell (HTCS) business model;
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): this is a residual category that includes financial
instruments that cannot be classified in the previous categories based on the results of the business model test
or the test on the characteristics of the contractual flows (failing the SPPI test).
SPPI test
The Standard requires financial assets to be classified also on the basis of the characteristics of the contractual cash
flows. The SPPI test requires the determination of whether the contractual cash flows consist of Solely Payments of
Principal and Interest on the principal amount outstanding) (IFRS 9 - B4.1.7).
Contractual cash flows may be consistent with the definition of a "basic lending arrangement" even if the credit risk will
be offset. Moreover, the interest rate can also include an additional fee that takes into account other risks such as
liquidity risk or administrative costs. The possibility of obtaining a profit margin is also consistent with the definition of
"basic lending arrangement" (IFRS 9 - B4.1.7A).
Contractual features that introduce an exposure to risks or volatility unrelated to "basic lending arrangements", such as
exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not meet the definition of Solely Payments of Principal
and Interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Therefore, the SPPI test is aimed at identifying all the contractual characteristics that may show payments other than
those relating to the principal and interest accrued on the principal amount outstanding.
Only if the test is passed can the instrument be accounted for, depending on the business model identified, at amortised
cost or at fair value through OCI.
The test will only be necessary if the adopted business model is "Collect" or "Collect and Sell". Conversely, if the
instrument is managed according to the residual business model, the instrument will be accounted for at fair value
regardless of the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.
Business Model
The business model represents the way in which the Bank manages its financial assets, i.e. with which it intends to
realise the cash flows of debt instruments. It reflects the way in which groups of financial assets are collectively managed
to pursue a specific business objective and does not depend on management's intentions with respect to a single
instrument but is set at a higher level of aggregation.
The definition of the Group's business model takes into consideration all the useful elements that emerge both from the
strategic objectives defined by the Bank's top management and from elements relating to the organisational structure
of the structures in charge of the management of assets and the methods for defining the budget and evaluating their
performance. The method of management is defined by the top management through the appropriate involvement of
the business structures. The business model does not depend on the intentions of the management with respect to a
single instrument, but rather refers to the way in which homogeneous portfolios are managed in order to achieve a
given objective.
The business model is defined on the basis of several elements, such as (IFRS 9 - B4.1.2B):
· How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are
assessed and reported to the entity's key executives;
· The risks that affect the performance of the business model and the ways those risks are managed;
. How managers of the business are remunerated - e.g. whether the remuneration is based on the fair value of
the assets managed or on the cash flows collected.
The drivers used to assess the performance of the various business models identified and the type of reporting produced
are elements to be considered for the correct attribution of the business model. In particular, performance and reporting
could be based on information on fair value or interest received, depending on the purpose for which the assets are
held.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

352
Adequate monitoring, escalation and reporting is essential to ensure proper management of risks that may affect
portfolio performance.
The possible business models set out in the Standard are as follows:
“Held to collect”: requires the realisation of contractually envisaged cash flows. This business model is
attributable to assets that will presumably be held until their natural maturity (IFRS 9 - B4.1.2C).
“Collect and Sell”: envisages the realisation of cash flows as provided for in the contract or through the
sale of the instrument. This business model is attributable to assets that may be held to maturity, but also
sold (IFRS 9 – B4.1.4).
“Sell”: this model is directed at realising cash flows by selling the instrument. This business model is
attributable to assets managed with the objective of realising cash flows through sale - known as "trading"
- (IFRS 9 – B4.1.5).
The measurement of the business model to be attributed to the portfolios is carried out on the basis of the scenarios
that could reasonably occur (IFRS 9 B4.1.2A), considering all relevant and objective information available at the
measurement date.
In the event that the cash flows are realised in a way that is different from initial expectations considered in the definition
of the business model, this realisation will not:
change the classification of the remaining assets held in that business model;
give rise to a prior-period error in the entity's financial statements.
However, information on how the cash flows of the target portfolio were realised in the past, together with other
relevant information, will necessarily have to be taken into account prospectively when classifying the subsequent
purchase/recognition of a new asset in the financial statements. The business model must be attributed at the level of
the portfolio, sub-portfolio or individual instrument, where these best reflect the way assets are managed (IFRS 9 -
B4.1.2).
5. Methods for determining amortised cost
The amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is in general the amount at which the financial asset or
financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal reimbursements, 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 impairment loss.
The effective interest rate is the rate that equalises the present value of future contractual cash payments or receipts
until the expiry or the following recalculation date of the price to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. In order to calculate the present value, the effective interest rate is applied to the flow of future receipts
or payments estimated during the useful life of the financial asset or liability - or a shorter period in the presence of
certain conditions (for example, the review of market rates).
If it is not possible to estimate reliably the cash flows or the expected life, the Group uses the expected contractual cash
flows for the entire period of validity of the contract.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the amortised cost allows to allocate revenue and costs deducted from or summed to
the instruments during its expected life through amortisation. The method of determination of the amortised cost
depends on whether the measured financial assets/liabilities have a fixed or variable rate.
For fixed-rate instruments, future cash flows are quantified based on the interest rate known during the life of the loan.
For variable-rate financial assets/liabilities, whose variability is not known a priori (because, for example, they are linked
to an index), cash flows are determined by maintaining constant the last variable rate recorded. At each date of review
of the rate, the repayment plan and the effective interest rate are recalculated over the entire useful life of the
instrument, i.e. until the date of expiry.
Measurement at amortised cost is carried out for financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost (loans and receivables
with/due to banks and loans and receivables with/due to customers) and for financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income. For the latter, the amortised cost is calculated for the sole purpose of recognising in the income
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
353
statement the interest based on the effective interest rate; the difference between the fair value and the amortised
cost is recorded in a specific equity reserve.
6. Methods for determining impairment losses
IFRS 9 envisages a model for determining prospectively impairment losses, which requires the immediate recognition
of losses on receivables even if only expected, contrary to IAS 39, which requires, for their recognition, the examination
of past events and current conditions.
At the end of each reporting period, in accordance with IFRS 9, financial assets other than those at fair value through
profit or loss are measured to determine whether there is any evidence that the book value of the assets may not be
fully recoverable. A similar analysis is also carried out for commitments to lend funds and guarantees given that fall
within the scope of impairment pursuant to IFRS 9.
In the event that such evidence exists (known as "impairment evidence"), the financial assets in question - consistently,
where existing, with all the remaining assets pertaining to the same counterparty - are considered impaired and are
included in stage 3. Against these exposures, represented by financial assets classified - in accordance with the
provisions of Bank of Italy's Circular no. 262/2005 - in the categories of bad loans, unlikely to pay and past due by more
than ninety days, impairment losses equal to the full lifetime expected credit loss must be recognised.
For financial assets for which there is no evidence of impairment (performing financial instruments), it is necessary,
instead, to check whether there are indicators such that the credit risk of the individual transaction is significantly
increased compared to the time of initial recognition. The consequences of this test from the point of view of
classification (or, more properly, staging) and measurement, are as follows:
- where such indicators exist, the financial asset is included in stage 2. In this case, the measurement, in
accordance with the international accounting standards and even in the absence of an evident impairment,
envisages the recognition of impairment losses equal to the full lifetime expected credit loss of the financial
instrument. These adjustments are reviewed at the end of each subsequent reporting period both to periodically
check their consistency with the constantly updated loss estimates and to take into account - in the event that
the indicators of "significantly increased" credit risk no longer exist - the changed forecast period for calculating
the expected loss;
- where such indicators do not exist, the financial asset is included in stage 1. In this case, the measurement, in
accordance with the international accounting standards and even in the absence of an evident impairment,
envisages the recognition of 12-month expected credit losses for the specific financial instrument. These
adjustments are reviewed at the end of each subsequent reporting period both to periodically check their
consistency with the constantly updated loss estimates and to take into account - in the event that the indicators
of "significantly increased" credit risk arise - the changed forecast period for calculating the expected loss;
With regard to the measurement of financial assets and, in particular, the identification of the "significant increase" in
credit risk (a necessary and sufficient condition for the classification of the asset being measured in stage 2), the
elements that - pursuant to the standard and its operational breakdown carried out by the Banca Finnat Euramerica
Group - constitute the main determinants to be taken into consideration are as follows:

Quantitative criteria:

b) for exposures backed by collateral, where there is a 50% decrease in the value of the collateral compared with
its value at the date of origin;
c) exposures with a past due date of more than 30 days (even partial) recognised at the report date in the monthly
survey (or in the previous 5 monthly surveys) regardless of the counterparty and without tolerance thresholds;
d) on-demand loans with both of the following irregular trends:
1) presence of operating tension: average percentage of use of the credit line granted, calculated over the
last 180 days, of more than 80%;
2) absence of changes in assets in the last 180 days.
Qualitative criteria:
a) forborne performing exposures in relation to a financial difficulty of the debtor;
b) exposures with irregular trends monitored by the Bank's Credit Committee;
c) exposures to counterparties for which prejudicial information has been acquired. This requirement is to be
considered valid also for prejudicial information relating to the guarantors.
A financial asset is considered non-performing and allocated to stage 3 if one or more events that have a negative effect
on expected cash flows occurred. In particular, the observable data relating to the following events constitute evidence
of impairment of the financial asset:
- significant financial difficulties of the debtor (also based on the financial statement analysis such as, for
example, negative changes in the debt ratio or the capacity to cover financial expenses);
- breach of contractual clauses (such as a default or past-due event of more than 90 days);
- classification in category "D - Defaulted" within the CSE outsourcing rating model;
- a lender having granted a concession to the debtor - for economic or contractual reasons relating to the debtor's
financial difficulty - that the lender would not otherwise consider;
- disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
- purchase or issue of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses;
- likelihood that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or be subject to another financial reorganisation procedure.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

355
A performing financial asset at the time of initial recognition and for which one or more of the above events occur must
be considered non-performing and placed in stage 3; the allocation in this bucket envisages that:
- the allowance for doubtful receivables is determined as an amount equal to full lifetime expected credit losses
of the financial asset;
- interest income is calculated based on the amortised cost i.e. gross book value less the allowance for doubtful
receivables;
- the time value is determined, and the expected date of collection is estimated.
For these financial assets, the method for determining the loss is calculated in accordance with IFRS 9 and in line with
the provisions of the credit regulations.
Once the allocation of exposures to the various stages of credit risk has been defined, the determination of expected
credit losses (ECL) is carried out, at the level of individual transactions or security tranche, starting from the
IRB/management approach, based on the parameters of Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and
Exposure at Default (EAD), on which appropriate corrective action is taken to ensure compliance with the requirements
of IFRS 9.
The determination of the values and calculation methods are detailed in the appropriate Group Policy.
7. Write-offs
With regard to non-performing loans, it is noted that the gross book value must be reduced if there are no longer
reasonable expectations of recovering this financial asset in its entirety or in part. The “write-off” may occur before legal
actions for the recovery of the financial asset have ended and does not necessarily involve the waiver of the legal right
to recover the receivable by the bank.
The Banca Finnat Group resorts to the cancellation - in whole or in part - of uncollectable financial assets and proceeds
to the consequent write-off of the residual value not yet adjusted in the following cases:
sale of financial assets;
partial or complete waiver of the receivable claimed following initiatives deriving from specific agreements
concluded between the Bank and its customers/debtors;
irrecoverability of the receivable when, following the actions taken by the Bank, the exposure is not recoverable
from certain and precise elements (for example: when in the context of an insolvency procedure it is established
that the unsecured exposures will not be repaid; when the debtor is untraceable or is destitute; when it is
impossible to initiate actions to recover receivables);
when, without waiving the credit, there are reasonable elements to indicate that the receivable is not
recoverable and the possibilities of recovery are very marginal. In this case, the write-off can only affect the
portion of credit covered by provisions.
8.Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
Acquired or originated impaired financial assets (Purchased Originated Credit Impaired - “POCI”) are credit exposures
that are non-performing upon initial recognition.
These exposures may arise both from the purchase, from third parties, of non-performing credit exposures and from the
restructuring of non-performing exposures that have led to the disbursement of new finance that is significant in absolute
or relative terms in proportion to the amount of the original exposure.
These financial instruments follow the same initial classification rules as other financial assets, to be carried out on the
basis, on the one hand, of the contractual characteristics of the related cash flows (SPPI Test) and, on the other, of the
management intent (business model) for which the instruments in question are held. In the event that the financial
instruments in question, based on the combined effect of the two drivers mentioned above, fall into the categories
valued at amortised cost or at fair value with an through other comprehensive income, they must be identified, pursuant
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
356
to IFRS 9, as “Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired Assets” (“POCI”). In case of failure of the SPPI Test, the financial
instruments must be recognised at FVTPL.
The "acquired or originated non-performing financial assets" are conventionally classified initially as part of Stage 3 since
the expected credit loss must always be calculated considering a time horizon equal to the residual duration. If, following
an improvement in the creditworthiness of the counterpart after initial recognition, the assets are found to be
"performing", they can be reclassified as part of Stage 2.
In line with the criteria established by the Policy of the Bank currently in force, the Banca Finnat Group defines the
application choices regarding Originated Credit Impaired Assets - POCI, as follows:
loans granted to customers already entrusted by the Group with a high credit risk profile ("non-performing
assets").
The Banca Finnat Group believes that POCI is present only where the new loan disbursed exceeds 30% of the
existing exposure and the economic conditions (interest) are significantly worse than those in place. In other
words, these are cases in which the new credit exposure is the result of the derecognition of a previous credit
relationship to which substantial contractual changes have been made.
loans granted to new customers with a high credit risk profile.
In cases of loans granted to new customers with a high credit risk profile ("non-performing assets"), the issue
of classification is closely related to whether or not the SPPI test is passed. If the SPPI test is passed, the
financial asset will be valued at amortised cost or fair value with through other comprehensive income based
on the business model adopted and will be considered a POCI.
At 31 December 2021, there are no acquired or originated impaired financial assets in the Group's portfolio.
9. Assets/Liabilities at Fair value
The Bank did not use the fair value option referred to in IFRS 9: therefore, the relevant asset and liability items in the
statement of financial position and income statement are not shown in the financial statements as they are not
measured.

A.3 – Information on transfers between portfolios of financial assets
According to the general rules envisaged by IFRS 9 on the reclassification of financial assets (with the exception of equity
instruments, for which no reclassification is permitted), reclassifications to other categories of financial assets are not
permitted unless the entity modifies its business model for the management of financial assets. However, such cases
are expected to be highly infrequent.
A.3.1 - A.3.2 - A.3.3 - No transfers were made between portfolios of financial assets during the year due to a change in
the business model.
A.4 Information on fair value
A.4.1 - Fair value levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs used
A.4.2 - Processes and sensitivity of evaluations
The techniques, valuation processes of the financial instruments and the methods for determining the fair value used
by the Group are shown below.
The fair value of financial instruments is determined based on the prices acquired by the financial markets, in the case
of instruments listed on active markets (Level 1), or on internal valuation models, in the case of all other financial
instruments.
If the instrument is not listed on an active market, or if there is no regularly functioning market, i.e. the market does
not feature a sufficient and ongoing number of transactions, bid-ask spread and a volatility that is not sufficiently curbed,
the fair value of the financial instruments is generally determined based on the use of valuation techniques the purpose
of which is to establish the price of a hypothetical independent transaction, motivated by normal market consideration,
at the date of valuation.
Regarding the valuation techniques, the following are taken into account:
if available, the prices of recent transactions involving similar instruments, suitably adjusted to reflect the
changed market conditions and the technical differences between the valued instrument and the instrument
selected as similar in nature (comparable approach);
valuation models widely used by the financial community, which have proved over the years capable of
producing reliable estimates of prices, with respect to the current market conditions (Mark-to-Model).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 instruments include, as a general indication:
stocks and bonds listed on active markets. The principal 'price source' of securities listed on regulated markets
is the relevant stock exchange, and generally corresponds to the price published by the regulated market on
which the security is negotiated. For financial instruments listed on the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana),
the value is determined using the posted price.
UCIs with official prices expressed by an active market; open-ended UCIs (including ETFs) for which a price
listed on an active market is available at the measurement date;
foreign exchange spot transactions;
derivatives for which prices are available on an active market (e.g., futures and options).
Lacking prices on an active market, the fair value of financial instruments is calculated according to the "comparable
approach" (Level 2), based on the use of valuation models making use of parameters that can be directly observed on
the market. In this case, the valuation is not based on the prices of the actual financial instruments being valued, but
on prices or credit spreads taken from the official listings of substantially similar instruments, in terms of risk-yield
factors, using a certain calculation method (pricing model). This approach translates into the search for transactions on
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
358
the active markets involving instruments that, in terms of their risk factors, are comparable with the instrument
measured.
The valuation techniques used entail:
the use of current market prices of other substantially similar instruments, if they are deemed to be highly
comparable (based on the country and sector to which they belong, along with their rating, maturity and
degree of seniority of the securities), such as to avoid any substantial alteration of the prices or the use of
trading prices - with respect to the same financial instrument - concerning market transactions between
independent counterparties;
the use of prices of similar instruments, in terms of their calibration;
discounted cash flow models;
option pricing models.
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 instruments include, as a general indication:
UCIs for which prices recorded in an inactive market whose values are deemed to be representative of fair
value are available. If these prices are based on the NAV, this value, if available at the measurement date, may
be taken into consideration for fair value purposes;
bonds that are not traded on an active market, but which can be priced based on the prices of comparable
securities, as inputs for a valuation model. The fair value of bonds without official prices expressed by an active
market is calculated by using an appropriate credit spread, determined based on liquid financial instruments
with similar features. Moreover, in the case of market transactions - concerning the same financial instrument
- between independent counterparties, account will be taken of the known trading price;
OTC derivatives valued based on observable parameters and market models. Interest rate, exchange, share,
inflation and commodity derivatives - if they are not traded on regulated markets - are known as Over The
Counter (OTC) instruments, i.e. instruments that are bilaterally negotiated with market counterparties, and their
valuation is conducted based on specific pricing models, fed by inputs (such as rate, exchange and volatility
curves) observed on the market.
Lastly, the determination of the fair value of certain types of financial instruments is based on valuation models that
require the use of parameters that cannot be directly observed on the market and which, therefore, require estimates
and assumptions by the valuer (Level 3).
Financial instruments classified as Level 3 instruments include, as a general indication:
• unlisted equity instruments. Equity investments held at cost are also conventionally included among Level 3
instruments;
• UCIs lacking prices expressed by a market (active and inactive) and similar listed securities. This category includes
the open-ended UCIs whose last measured NAV was not reported near the measurement date and the closed-
ended UCIs whose fair value is derived exclusively on the basis of the NAV. For these UCIs, the NAV used for
measurement must prudentially be adjusted to take into account any risk of not being able to carry out a transaction
unless it is at prices that are significantly lower than the value of the assets represented by the NAV. That
adjustment is not considered for investments with a lock-up clause in UCIs managed directly by Group companies,
investments which are part of a strategy aimed at aligning interests with those of investors to promote new funds;
• bonds not listed on active markets, for which there are no comparable instruments, or which require the use of
significant assumptions, such as the knowledge of trading prices between independent counterparties;
• OTC derivatives valued using non-market models, or market models based on parameters that cannot be observed
on the market.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

359
Level 3 instruments also include financial instruments priced by the Bank and the other Group companies based on
internal valuation models using inputs that cannot be observed on the market and personal assumptions made by the
valuer.
A.4.3 - Fair value hierarchy
With the introduction of IFRS 13, the rules for measuring the fair value previously included in multiple accounting
standards were set out in a single standard.
The fair value is defined as the price that is received for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
When measuring the fair value of a financial instrument, IFRS 13 refers to the concept of hierarchy of the measurement
criteria used, which was at the time introduced by an amendment to IFRS 7 that required the company to classify the
measurements based on a hierarchy of levels that reflects the significance of the inputs used in the measurement of
financial instruments.
This classification aims to establish a hierarchy in terms of reliability of fair value depending on the degree of discretion
applied by enterprises, giving priority to the use of parameters observable on the market reflecting the assumptions
that market participants would use when pricing the asset/liability.
IFRS 13 identifies three different input levels:
- Level 1: inputs represented by (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets - as defined by IFRS 13 - for assets
or liabilities subject to measurement;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices set forth above, which are observable for the assets or liabilities
subject to measurement, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices);
- Level 3: inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability subject to measurement.
The choice between these types is not optional but must be done in a hierarchical order, since priority is given to official
prices on active markets (level 1); in the absence of such inputs, we use valuation techniques based on parameters that
cannot be observed on the market (level 2); with a lower and more discretionary priority, the fair value of assets and
liabilities calculated with valuation techniques based on parameters that cannot be observed on the market (level 3).
The valuation method and, as a result, transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy of a financial instrument
are altered only if there are significant changes in the market or subjective conditions of the issuer of the financial
instrument.
IFRS 13 contemplates that, as already indicated by IFRS 7, the instruments at amortised cost are provided with fair value
disclosure.
Within the Group, the following approaches were identified for calculating the fair value:
Assets at amortised cost
For financial assets recognised in the financial statements at amortised cost, classified in the accounting category of
"Financial assets at amortised cost" (loans and receivables with banks and customers) in particular:
for medium/long-term "performing" loans (mainly mortgages and leases), the fair value is determined on the
basis of cash flows, suitably adjusted for expected losses, on the basis of the PD and LGD parameters. These
cash flows are discounted on the basis of a market interest rate adjusted to take account of a premium deemed
to express risks and uncertainties;
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
360
for "non-performing" loans (bad loans, unlikely to pay, past due), the fair value is assumed to be equal to the
net book value. In this regard, it should be noted that the market for non-performing loans is characterised by
a significant illiquidity and a high dispersion of prices according to the specific characteristics of the loans. The
absence of observable parameters that could be used as a reference for measuring the fair value of exposures
comparable to those being measured could therefore lead to a wide range of possible fair values; for this
reason, for the purposes of financial reporting, the fair value of non-performing loans is shown as the book
value;
for debt securities classified in the “Loans and receivables with banks or customers” or the “Securities issued”
portfolio, the fair value was determined by using prices obtained on active markets or by using valuation
models, as described in the previous paragraph "Fair value levels 2 and 3: valuation techniques and inputs
used".
The fair value of loans and receivables with customers and banks with undefined contractual expiry, in that
they are on demand, is represented by the nominal value of the receivables net of the risk component
represented by the calculated probability of default, in accordance with what was previously defined.
Due to banks and customers
These are entered at their nominal value that is usually equal to the amount received initially by the Bank. This value
can be reasonably approximated to the fair value in that the Bank can meet its payables thanks to high levels of
capitalisation.
Securities issued
The item concerns the bonds issued by the Bank and recorded at amortised cost. The fair value is determined through
the use of a model that takes into account the indexation parameter of the loan and a pre-established spread.
A.4.4 Other information
The Group does not use the exception on the compensating valuation of groups of financial assets and liabilities referred
to in paragraph 48 of IFRS 13.

Loans and receivables with customers totalled 1,285,050 thousand euros (1,253,775 thousand euros at 31 December
2020).
At the reporting date of these Financial Statements, the items relating to current accounts, mortgages and other loans
include non-performing assets (Bucket 3) relating to the Parent Company totalling 50,061 thousand euros (23,055
thousand euros net of write-downs) comprising:
bad loans totalling 35,863 thousand euros (11,789 thousand euros net of write-downs), referring to the following
positions:
o 4,572 thousand euros (1,043 thousand euros net of write-downs) for the residual amount of a mortgage
terminated on 8 July 2011. The transaction was secured by a first mortgage on property, the value of which,
supported by a special expert appraisal report, covers the entire value of the net exposure. In July 2021 the
property was sold for an amount exceeding the value of the net receivable and the Bank is waiting to receive
its liquidation portion by the Court on the basis of the distribution plan in the process of being approved;
o 15,249 thousand euros (3,054 thousand euros net of write-downs) relating to a receivable for a loan due
from Bio-On. The estimate of the presumed realisable value of the receivable remained unchanged with
respect to that calculated for the purposes of the 2019 Annual Report, and confirmed on preparation of the
2021 Annual Report.
o 8,242 thousand euros (5,407 thousand euros net of write-downs) referring to a mortgage terminated on 24
December 2020 backed by first degree mortgage guarantees on property and other collateral that largely
cover the value of the net exposure.
o 7,800 thousand euros, of which 1,153 thousand euros referring to trade receivables (216 thousand euros net
of write-downs) and 6,647 thousand euros (2,069 thousand euros net of write-downs) to receivables relating
to cash loans.
The line-by-line write-downs carried out therefore totalled 24,074 thousand euros (including 937 thousand euros
referring to trade receivables), with a total coverage rate of 67%.
unlikely-to-pay totalling 13,090 thousand euros (10,187 thousand euros net of write-downs), comprising:
o current account overdraft facilities and other loans for collectable interests amounting to a total of 2,986
thousand euros (2,127 thousand euros net of write-downs);
o mortgages amounting to 10,044 thousand euros, of which 922 thousand euros in overdue instalments and
9,122 thousand euros in principal maturing (8,048 thousand euros net of write-downs);
o trade receivables of 60 thousand euros (12 thousand euros net of write-downs).
The itemised write-downs totalled 2,903 thousand euros (of which 48 thousand euros referring to trade
receivables);
other positions expired or past due by over 90 days amounting to 1,108 thousand euros (1,079 thousand euros
net of write-downs).
At 31 December 2021 the Bank had 47 “forborne” exposures, of which:
• 21 non-performing positions totalling 39,141 thousand euros (18,928 thousand euros net of write-downs), of
which 3 positions included among bad loans of 26,504 thousand euros, 17 positions included among unlikely-
to-pay of 12,362 thousand euros and one position included among past due of 275 thousand euros.
• 26 performing positions totalling 15,728 thousand euros.

In 2021, the Bank recorded in the Income Statement 105 thousand euros for portfolio impairment losses on debt
securities; it also recorded 894 thousand euros for net impairment losses on loans and receivables with customers,
broken down as follows: 926 thousand euros for portfolio value recoveries, 1,243 thousand euros for specific value
recoveries, 2,261 thousand euros for specific impairment losses and 802 thousand euros for cancellation losses.
At 31 December 2021, the allowance for doubtful loans and receivables with customers of the Bank, excluding securities,
reached 28,820 thousand euros, of which 27,005 thousand euros on an itemised basis and 1,815 thousand euros in
portfolio impairment losses.
With regard to other Group companies, the itemised allowance for doubtful loans (Bucket 3) at 31 December 2021
amounted to 805 thousand euros against gross non-performing loans of 1,036 thousand euros for Finnat Fiduciaria S.p.A.
and to 2,080 thousand euros against gross non-performing loans of 2,080 thousand for InvestiRE SGR S.p.A.
Whereas portfolio impairment losses relating only to loans and receivables with customers (Bucket 1 and Bucket 2)
through 31 December 2021 amounted to 64 thousand euros for InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. and to a total of 4 thousand euros
for the other Group companies. During the year in question, subsidiaries recognised value adjustments on loans and
receivables with customers in the Income Statement of 8 thousand euros.
With regard to the Bank, item 1.7. Other loans includes, in addition to non-performing financial loans and impaired trade
receivables (Bucket 3) totalling 11,802 thousand euros (already commented on as non-performing assets), Deposits for
margins with Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia and ICE Clear Europe Ltd for 90,277 thousand euros (Bucket 1), trade
receivables (Bucket 2) for 3,705 thousand euros, a loan falling due for 19,991 thousand euros (Bucket 1) and sublease
receivables for 26 thousand euros (Bucket 1). The item also includes the trade receivables of the other group companies.
Item 2.2 Other debt securities pertains exclusively to the Bank and includes Government Bonds for 751,627 thousand
euros and the bond loan for 2,595 thousand euros issued by Growth Market Basket Bond S.r.l., a securitisation company.
The total portfolio impairment losses for those securities amounted to 148 thousand euros after utilisation for sales of
124 thousand euros. During the year, net impairment losses of 105 thousand euros were recognised.

Item A.1 Goodwill, amounting to 28,129 thousand euros, comprises:
Euro 300 thousand euros for a part of the goodwill resulting from the merger in 2003 of Banca Finnat Euramerica
S.p.A. into Terme Demaniali di Acqui S.p.A.
27,829 thousand euros for goodwill recorded by the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. following the merger by
incorporation in 2015, of Beni Stabili Gestioni SGR S.p.A. and Polaris RE SGR S.p.A. The value of goodwill was
reduced in 2019 by an amount of 9,600 thousand euros, corresponding to the portion relating to the business
unit transferred to the associated company REDO SGR S.p.A.
The adequacy assessment was based on the estimate of the projected cash flows to be discounted according
to the Discounted Free Cash Flow to the Firm method, adopted taking into account both the characteristics of
the business and the current and future situation of the company. It should be noted that the goodwill is
attributable to the Cash Generating Unit CGU "Asset Management - Real Estate Fund Management" which
coincides with the activity carried out by InvestiRE SGR.
The internal experts of InvestiRE SGR S.p.A., on the basis of the forecasts developed to take into account the
estimated impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic with respect to the business plan approved by the Board of
Directors, with the support of the internal specialists of the Parent Company, set up the impairment test to
assess whether or not it is necessary to adjust goodwill.
The definitive updated parameters of the Group to be used as assumptions on which the impairment calculation
is based are summarised in the internal document - "Measurement Methodologies and Impairment Test",
approved by the competent decision-making bodies of the Bank autonomously and in advance with respect to
the approval of the financial statement data.
At 31 December 2021, for the purposes of discounting the cash flows and the terminal value, a rate representing
the weighted average cost of the capital invested in the Company (WACC) was used, which, in this specific
case, matches the cost of capital "Ke", inasmuch as InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. is characterised by the current and
expected absence of financial payables. The financial parameters used to calculate the WACC were defined on
the basis of average market values, measured also by sample testing comparable entities; moreover, a period
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
384
of explicit projection of 3 years was used, and a growth rate of 1.5% which also takes into account the expected
inflation: the forward looking data used in the measurement at 31 December 2021 therefore refer to the
projections for subsequent financial years prepared by the Management of the asset management company
with the control and coordination of the Parent Company. The WACC thus determined is 7.91%.
Lastly, the model for determining the equity value was subjected to sensitivity analysis in order to appreciate
the change of the results obtained as the adopted measurement parameters change. The analyses conducted
did not bring to light any indications of impairment with reference to goodwill, not even based on a stress test
approach, using a discount rate "Ke" (+/-50 bps).
Item A.2 "Other intangible assets - Indefinite life" consists of the positive consolidation differences of the following
companies:
- Finnat Fiduciaria S.p.A. for 984 thousand euros;
- InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. for 1,693 thousand euros.
As these are intangible assets with indefinite useful life, an impairment test was carried out in accordance with the
provisions of IAS 36. The tests conducted did not show any impairment to record in the income statement.
In view of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, the Group decided not to apply the standard to any operating leases on
intangible assets. Therefore, the item does not include rights of use acquired under operating leases (as lessee) and
relating to the use of an intangible asset.

With regard to tax disputes relating to the Bank, it should be noted that on 22 December 2021 the Regional Tax Court
of Lazio Sect. 13 issued sentence no. 485/22 filed on 3 February 2022 which accepted the appeal presented by the
Bank, concerning the dispute against assessment notice no. RCB030302029/2005, whereby the Revenue Agency argued
that certain operating costs relating to the year 2002 were not deductible for IRPEG and IRAP purposes (costs for advisory
services and costs pertaining to a lease agreement). In relation to this dispute, the Bank had already charged 55 thousand
euros to the income statement in the previous years, plus penalties and interest.
The deadlines for appealing to the Supreme Court by the Revenue Agency are still pending.
As regards the Group companies, the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. has a tax dispute in progress relating to the merged
company Beni Stabili Gestioni S.p.A. SGR, regarding the objection to the IRES/IRAP assessment notices for the year 2006.
The company was successful in the first instance hearing, lost the first appeal and is awaiting the result of the appeal
to the Court of Cassation. The entire amount requested by way of taxes, penalties, interest and collection premium was
paid in previous years for a total of 351 thousand euros and covered by indemnity agreements with the shareholders
of the merged company.
It should also be noted that InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. is party to some tax disputes relating to claims for IMU due from the
H1 Fund in compulsory administrative liquidation for properties located in the Municipalities of Palermo, Pomezia (Rome)
and Catania and the related compulsory collection by the tax collection office. The disputes derive from tax payables for
IMU purposes due, from the H1 fund in liquidation, relating to tax periods prior to the judgement of the Court of Rome
and the consequent provision of the Bank of Italy, which dictated and executed the fund's entry into the compulsory
administrative liquidation procedure (LCA) and the consequent appointment of the liquidator. Therefore, these are claims
for taxes due by the H1 Fund which have been recognised and included in the liabilities of the LCA procedure and which,
nevertheless, are ascertained by the Municipalities and/or requested in payment by the AdER to the Company due to
the fact that the same managed the H1 Fund during the tax periods of reference and neglecting to consider both the
limitations of the liability of the Company, as an asset management company, and the effects of the subsequent LCA of
the H1 Fund.

As required by IFRS 15, the following information is provided:
variable commissions recognised by the Bank in the year amounted to 1,092 thousand euros (1,425 thousand
euros in 2020) and relate for 259 thousand euros to performance fees on management (885 thousand euros
at 31 December 2020), for 15 thousand euros to performance fees on delegated management (445 thousand
euros at 31 December 2020) and for 818 thousand euros to successful commissions on consultancy for
Corporate Finance activities (95 thousand euros at 31 December 2020). Overall, variable commissions were
collected in for 393 thousand euros in 2021 and for 204 thousand euros in 2022 (up to the date of preparation
of the financial statements);
the subsidiary InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. recognised performance commissions for 195 thousand euros during the
year (FIP 38 thousand euros, Helios 132 thousand euros and FPEP 25 thousand euros). As required by the
regulations of the FIP fund, 50% of the amount will be paid only upon expiry of the fund in the event that
there is no significant downward adjustment in the amount of accumulated revenue. Following the evaluation
carried out, the subsidiary considers this eventuality not highly probable;
at the closing date of the financial year there are no unrecognised commissions on contracts longer than one
year.

Section 25 – Earnings per share
25.1 Average number of ordinary shares with diluted capital
The basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, at consolidated level, are given below, in accordance with IAS 33. As no
Group company holds any Parent Company shares, the consolidated figures coincide with those relating to the Bank.
The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated net income (in euro) of the holders of the
Bank's ordinary shares (the numerator) by the weighted average of the ordinary shares outstanding during the year (the
denominator).
For the purpose of calculating the basic earnings (loss) per share, the weighted average of the ordinary shares
outstanding is calculated based on the ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, adjusted by the amount
of ordinary shares purchased or issued or sold during the year multiplied by the number of days that the shares were
outstanding, in proportion to the total days in the year. Shares outstanding do not include treasury shares.
The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the consolidated profit (losses) of ordinary shareholders,
and likewise the weighted average of the shares outstanding, to take account of any impact by situations that result in
dilution.
The following table shows the basic earnings (loss) per share.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share

0.015239
Since the Bank has no transactions under way that might determine changes to the number of shares outstanding and
the earnings (loss) of ordinary shareholders, the diluted earnings (loss) per share coincides with the basic earnings per
share and it is unnecessary to perform the reconciliation provided for by paragraph 70 of IAS 33.
25.2 Other information
At the reference date of the financial statements, no financial instruments that could lead to the dilution of the basic
earnings (loss) per share had been issued.

Part E - Information on risks and related hedging policies
Introduction
The Parent Company Banca Finnat and the subsidiaries direct their activities in accordance with criteria of prudence and
reduced exposure to risks, inspired by the principle of sound and prudent management.
The Bank has defined its risk appetite by defining the risk objectives for the Group and the respective limits in the Risk
Appetite Framework, within which its Bodies implement strategic guidelines according to its mission and the
development of set objectives. Determined thresholds are calibrated in order to identify and intercept the gradual and
possible deterioration of the Group's risk profile and solidity. The mandatory Pillar I limits, on the relationship between
regulatory risk measures and own funds, are defined consistently with the provisions of the Supervisory provisions.
Management limits, on the other hand, refer to the risk limit system that the Bank has introduced and developed over
time and which has implemented in the respective internal regulations. In particular, the Bank has identified specific
limits on the LCR and NSFR indicators. Furthermore, the bank carefully monitors market risk (measured by the VaR and
the expected shortfall) of the country risk and the issuer risk in relation to the proprietary portfolios, as well as the
interest rate risk and the concentration risk on the Banking Book.
Within the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) document, the Bank defined the risk appetite for the Group, tolerance
thresholds and assumable limits, in line with the Recovery Plan and the Planning and Budget process. Specifically, a
system of limits has been defined as a management tool aimed at regulating the assumption of risks and guiding the
restoration of normal conditions if the threshold values are exceeded. The RAF also defines the tolerance perimeter,
deriving from assessments carried out under stress conditions, as well as the operational monitoring methods and
protocols that can be activated in the event that the dynamics of the risk profile leads to exceeding the level
corresponding to the maximum deviation allowed by the Risk Appetite Framework.
An important role for the purposes of risk management and monitoring is also played by the ICAAP/ILAAP report
prepared annually by the Banca Finnat Group in compliance with the guidelines of the European Banking Authority and
with the provisions of the provisions of the Bank of Italy.
The preparation of the ICAAP/ILAAP report, governed by internal procedures and carried out through the corporate bodies
and the relevant structures, represents for the Group the final moment of the broader and ongoing self-assessment
process relating to the verification of capital adequacy and its compliance with the RAF, the operational characteristics
and the context in which the Group operates.
On the basis of the supervisory provisions, the Bank also carefully monitors liquidity risk, through a methodology that
has been formalised in specific documents approved by the Board of Directors, and periodically carries out stress tests
on credit, market, concentration and interest rate. The results of the analysis have been evaluated by the Board of
Directors.
In compliance with Directive no. 2014/59/EU - Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD), implemented by the
Italian Parliament with Italian Legislative Decree no. 180 and 181/2015, in June 2020 the Bank prepared and sent to the
Supervisory Authority the Group Recovery Plan after approval by the Bank's Board of Directors. The document was
prepared in compliance with the implementing provisions contained in Title IV, Chapter 01-I of the Consolidated Banking
Law and Title IV, Chapter I-bis of the Consolidate Financial Law (Provision on recovery plans). The Group Recovery Plan
is expected to be sent next during the current year, by 30 April.

1.1 - Credit risk
Qualitative information
1. General aspects
Credit risk has been defined by the Group as the risk of incurring losses due to the unexpected worsening of the
creditworthiness of a customer, also as a result of situations of contractual default. Credit risk can be broken down into:
• default risk: risk that the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations;
• spread/migration risk: risk of changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparty which determines an effect
on the market value of the credit position;
• recovery risk: the risk that the recovery actually achieved at the end of the asset liquidation of an insolvent
counterparty is lower than originally estimated by the bank.
The Bank's credit risk monitoring is carried out continuously by the Parent Company's Risk Control Function, the Credit
Department, the Credit Committee and the other pertaining functions.
For the quantification of the current internal capital on credit risk, the standardised methodology is used for the
determination of the prudential capital requirements pursuant to EC Regulation no. 575/2013.
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
Following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Bank granted those of its customers who requested it and met the
necessary requisites the option to take advantage of the moratoriums provided by the”Cura Italia” Decree.
The Bank also implemented a voluntary commercial initiative with performing customers aimed at suspending the
payment of the principal amount of mortgages and other loans repaid by instalments. The suspension had a maximum
duration of 12 months for companies and 6 months for individuals, with the extension of the duration of the loan by
the corresponding period; this initiative was aimed at all customers whose debt exposures were not classified as non-
performing credit exposures.
2. Credit risk management policies
2.1 Organisational aspects
The Bank's strategy, which has always been aimed at optimising the relationship with customers, was intended to
provide financial services with high added value to high-standing customers, with the objective of ensuring their loyalty.
With this in mind, the Bank aims to offer actual or potential customers, not only services of primary interest, such as
those relating to private banking, investment banking, fiduciary and advisory services, but also credit facilities to build
long-term relationships. In order to carry out activities involving the assumption of credit risk, the Bank has adopted a
specific Credit Regulation, which formalises the processes and criteria to be applied to the disbursement of new loans
or the granting of credit lines in accordance with credit policies and corporate strategic guidelines.
Loans granted by the Bank mainly fall within the following categories:
loans to customers and banks (typically on sight and maturity credit lines and mortgages that provide for fixed
or in any case determinable payments);
trade receivables;
repurchase agreements.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

424
After initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost equal to the value of initial recognition
decreased/increased by capital repayments, value adjustments/recoveries and amortisation calculated using the
effective interest rate method.
In order to mitigate the credit risk and avoid the emergence of situations that could lead to losses and write-downs on
the loan portfolio, the Bank carries out a credit activity that favours loans "guaranteed" in real terms or those secured
by a pledge on securities, assets and real estate mortgages, occasionally granting credit lines to known and consolidated
customers based on the creditworthiness of the borrower.
The company structure and organisation, characterised by the small size and the precise formalisation of credit
granting/disbursement procedures, also make it possible to provide customers with primary interest services, granted
with decision-making procedures in short time frames.
The operational strategy adopted by the Bank, outlined previously, has ensured that:
existing transactions have low risk margins;
the amount of non-performing loans (net of impairment losses made) is contained in a percentage of
approximately 1% of total loans and receivables with customers included in table A.1.1 Breakdown of credit
exposures by portfolio classification and credit quality reported in subsequent pages;
lending activities provide a positive image and prestige return for the Bank, with positive effects on “traditional”
activities.
2.2 Management, measurement and control systems
The assessment of the credit risk and creditworthiness of customers is entrusted to the delegated bodies which act in
accordance with explicit powers specifically assigned. The delegated bodies receive all the information necessary for
assessing the creditworthiness of customers so that they can express their opinion on loan transactions without delay.
The Bank's lending process is illustrated below.
Assessment of creditworthiness of loan applicants
The assessment of creditworthiness, promptly proceduralised, is aimed above all at ascertaining the existence of the
repayment capacity of applicants and at verifying the compatibility existing between the individual loan requests and
the company strategies concerning the choices of the size and breakdown of the credit portfolio.
The corporate functions involved in creditworthiness assessment provide to:
- accept customer financing requests;
- acquire all the documentation necessary for examining the equity, financial and economic situation of the applicant
and of any guarantors, to instruct the credit line procedure;
- analyse the qualitative information concerning new customers and update the information for existing customers;
- verify the reliability of the data reported in the documentation and information requested;
- with reference to the investigation carried out, formulate an opinion regarding the applicant's creditworthiness;
- connect the borrower's various relationships, both active and passive, and also the credit lines granted with the
guarantees offered and the guarantees received with the guarantors proposed;
- prepare a summary of the assessments regarding the reliability or otherwise of the customer and formulate an
opinion on the amount of the credit that can be granted, the technical form for the use of the same, as well as
highlight the guarantees to be acquired in relation to both quantitative and qualitative aspects.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

425
The Bank also carries out a qualitative assessment of credit exposures on the basis of an internal management-type
rating system offered by the CSE outsourcer which allows customers to be classified into risk classes corresponding to
different insolvency probability levels.
For the assessment of creditworthiness and the related subdivision into rating classes, the main areas of investigation
cover the analysis of the data listed below:
- internal performance data;
- system performance data (notifications from risk centre);
- financial statements information (central financial statements archives);
- socio-demographic information;
- variables are estimated individually with respect to the areas subject to investigation and subsequently integrated
into the final model, separately for individuals and businesses.
Granting of loans
Credit lines are granted by the decision-making body taking into due consideration all the reasons that led to the
determination of the amount that can be granted and the guarantees required, depending on transaction's risk level.
Once the loan proposal has been approved:
- guarantees are acquired and the transactions for the completion of the loan granted are carried out;
- the loan is paid out;
- the necessary implementation of the transaction is carried out within the IT system for the purposes of periodic
checks, of the request for due instalments, of the timely revision of the rate where applicable and/or of the
guarantees.
Management of anomalous loans
The management of anomalous loans takes place through the careful and periodic analysis of past due positions carried
out by the relevant company functions, by the Credit Committee and under the supervision of General Management. In
particular, the Bank's General Management and the departments concerned receive, with a predetermined frequency,
adequate reports on the trend of non-performing loans, detailed by individual customer, both assigned and not.
Group's non-performing loans, net of write-downs, amount to a total of 23,287 thousand euros, represented by bad
loans for 11,861 thousand euros, unlikely to pay for 10,033 thousand euros and past due exposures for 1,093 thousand
euros.
In this regard, it should be noted that impaired loans net of write-downs at the end of the 2021 financial year represent
1.8% of the total of the item loans to customers included in table A.1.1 Breakdown of credit exposures by portfolio
classification and credit quality reported in the subsequent pages.
Performing stress tests
The Bank performs stress test simulations on credit risk at pre-established intervals aimed at quantifying capital
absorption and determining related capital ratios. The methodology adopted for conducting the stress test on credit and
counterparty risk assumes two different stress scenarios, which occur simultaneously which are attributable to an
increase in bad loans and non-performing loans and a reduction in the value of the securities held. The verification of
the capital solidity of the Bank and of the Group in the event of adverse scenarios is carried out by measuring the
impacts that the results of the stress tests determine on the capital ratios.

2.3 Methods of measuring expected losses
The criteria and logic used to determine the expected losses are described in the Bank's ECL Policy, which has as its
perimeter of application financial and commercial receivables, as well as the proprietary financial instruments, in order
to verify and evaluate their creditworthiness.
The amount of expected losses depends on the extent of the deterioration in credit quality with respect to initial
recognition and takes into account the guarantees held to mitigate the credit risk.
Consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, the Bank adopts the following approach for the calculation of impairment:
- 12-months expected credit losses (Stage 1): if, at the reporting date, the credit risk of a financial instrument
has not increased significantly compared to the "first recognition" date, the Bank measures the losses for that financial
instrument as the amount equal to the expected losses over the next 12 months;
-Lifetime months expected credit losses (Stage 2): at each reporting date, the Bank measures losses for a financial
instrument as the amount equal to the expected losses over its lifetime if the risk of that instrument has significantly
increased compared to the first recognition date.
As regards the staging rules and the criteria for registering credits within the respective "buckets", reference is made to
the staging allocation Policy approved by the Board of Directors.
Consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, the model requires the calculation of a provision at each cash flow date of
the case in order to carry out a final “multi-period type” totalisation. In the event of cases with maturity, a calculation is
therefore made at the date of each future instalment, while for demand items a single calculation is made relating to
the cash flow placed at maturity date.
For each period, the calculation is as follows:
• ECL(t) = EAD(t) * LGD(t) * marginal PD (t) * DF(t)
• ECL(t) = contribution to the provision for period t (from effective date to expiry date). The first period (first
instalment for items at maturity or all those on demand) always starts on the date of calculation of the provisions
• t = cash flow due date
• EAD(t) = exposure at date t; amortised cost for maturity cases, balance for on demand items
• LGD (t) = lgd at time t obtained through IFRS 9 logic
•Marginal PD (t) = cumulative PD (t) - cumulative PD (t-1) obtained from the PD lifetime curves for the segment
and class associated with the counterpart
• DF(t) = discount factor at time t calculated at the IRR (internal rate of return) on a 360 basis
The expected credit loss of financial instruments represented by securities is processed by a leading external specialised
company and provided, for each financial instrument, through management applications. The information flow occurs
on a quarterly basis and the organisational units apply the rules envisaged in the staging allocation Policy for classification
in the correct reference bucket. Probability default measures are extracted from listed credit spreads and therefore have
an information content capable of summarising the expectations of occurrence of future events incorporated by the
market (forward looking measures). The probabilities of default and LGDs are estimated for each issuer and associated
with the respective issues, providing for a differentiation based on the level of subordination (senior and subordinated
issues).
The default probability term structure for each issuer is estimated starting from the information and credit spreads
quoted daily on the financial markets (i.e. CDS spreads and bond prices). Preferably, the specific credit spreads of the
individual issuer are used; in this perspective, a credit spread is considered specific when it is directly referable to the
''risk group'' to which the rated issuer belongs. In the event that, for a given issuer, equally significant specific credit
spreads are available on several markets, the market preferentially used is that of CDS.
The mapping of individual issuers to the comparable issuer or to the reference cluster is carried out on the basis of the
following analysis axes:
- industrial sector,
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
427
- geographical area of interest,
- rating (ECAI);
- analysis of fundamental financial statement data.
For financial instruments, the loss given default is assumed to be constant for the entire time period of the financial
asset under analysis and is a function of two factors:
- instrument ranking;
- classification of the country of origin of the issuing body.
For countries considered to be developed, the LGD is set equal to 0.6 for senior issues and 0.8 for subordinated issues.
For covered issues, the value changes as the rating assigned to the individual security in question changes. Unlike for
emerging countries with equal subordination, the LGD level is higher, in fact the senior issues are subject to an LGD of
0.75 and subordinated ones to an LGD equal to 1.
Scenarios
The impairment model adopted by the Bank, in compliance with the provisions of IFRS 9, provides for the use of "forward
looking scenario" which are identified in a "base scenario", a "scenario up" and a "scenario down", each of which is
associated with a probability of occurrence. In compliance with the principle of proportionality, also dictated by the low
volumes of loan disbursements, the Bank has adopted models and scenarios developed by a leading specialised external
supplier.
The scenarios include forecasts on the main macroeconomic variables, the probability of occurrence of the scenarios
used at 31 December 2021 is 90% for the "down scenario" and 5% for the "up scenario" and for the "base scenario".
The macroeconomic scenario used at 31 December 2021 has been updated by an external company specialising in the
sector and includes the most up-to-date forecasts also used at the consortium level.
As anticipated, the Bank used a scenario that envisaged the adoption of a probability of occurrence of the down forecast
of 90%, compared to a standard of 5% used prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. This approach resulted in an increase in
impairment losses on performing loans of approximately 195 thousand euros.
Changes due to Covid-19
To determine the collective write-down of performing positions, as in previous financial years, the bank used the
consortium model developed by the IT outsourcer in accordance with IFRS 9, which takes into account the updating of
the historical series of risk parameters and macroeconomic factors based on the latest available forecasts.
Assessment of the significant increase in credit risk (SICR)
The Bank assessed any increase in credit risk using current and prospective reasonable and sustainable information at
the date of preparation of these financial statements. The economic support measures put in place by the Government
to support debtors in response to Covid-19 were not considered as measures that automatically trigger a SICR.
Measurement of expected credit losses
As regards the information on the adjustments made to the expected loss measurement models, as previously specified,
the Bank uses the estimation model implemented by the IT outsourcer which incorporates the macroeconomic scenarios,
implemented by a leading supplier; for the purpose of calculating the impairment, these scenarios weigh: base scenario
at 90%, scenario up at 5% and scenario down at 5%. Details of the main scenario used (base scenario) are shown
below.

2.4 Credit risk mitigation techniques
Credit risk mitigation techniques represent a tool for reducing or transferring part of the credit risk on the exposures
originated and reducing the loss that would occur in the event of counterparty default (Loss given default).
Credit risk mitigation is implemented by favouring mainly transactions backed by collateral. Loans and disbursements
are granted by the delegated corporate bodies only following a careful and weighted analysis of creditworthiness and
of the validity and consistency of the guarantees provided. Guarantees must be explicit and must not be subject to
conditions, as required by the Supervisory Instructions.
The real guarantees most used by the Bank are represented by mortgages on residential and non-residential properties,
pledges on financial instruments and liquidity. With the aim of identifying and preventing deterioration in the value of
the guarantees held, the estimated or appraisal value of the asset (net of any encumbrances) or the market value, in
the case of listed securities, is monitored on the collateral. For movable assets taken as collateral, and subject to
fluctuations in values, a "spread" is applied to the countervalue that is subject to periodic reviews and in any case
whenever there are significant decreases in their price. With regard to mortgages, the value of the properties is
periodically reviewed. To this end, the Bank makes use of third parties with proven experience based on the provisions
of article 120 duodecies of the Consolidated Banking Law and the implementing provisions of the Bank of Italy.
In the case of personal guarantees received, the guarantor must undertake a legally binding commitment to satisfy the
obligations relating to one or more credit concessions pertaining to a specific subject. With reference to "letters of
patronage", only those that do not have the declaratory nature of a parent company's shareholding relationship are to
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

430
be considered, but those for which the guarantee function is pre-eminent, so that the commitment assumed can actually
be configured as a surety-type obligation, with an ancillary nature compared to the main one of the subsidiary.
3. Non-performing credit exposures
3.1 Management strategies and policies
The classification of impaired financial assets into the various default categories takes place in compliance with the
instructions issued by the Supervisory Authority as indicated in the 2008 Circular 272 of Bank of Italy (and subsequent
updates). Loans classified as Bad Loans are subject to an analytical assessment process by the Credit Committee, the
Credit Department and the Risk Management Function, which analyse the position and the Guarantees held in order to
estimate their presumed realisable value. The analysis carried out follows criteria precisely defined within the company
policies. In this context, the recovery times Time value on bad loans are also stable. Non-performing loans (UTP and
Past due), consistently with the provisions of IFRS 9, are subject to a fund valuation process that includes forward looking
valuation.
In consideration of the small number of positions classified as past-due or UTP, and with the aim of carrying out an
assessment as refined as possible, the Bank also carries out analytical assessments of non-performing loans using the
same logic provided for loans classified as suffering, where peculiarities are identified that make the analytical evaluation
more reliable than the statistical one.
The monitoring of loans granted to customers is carried out by the Risk Control OU which, with the support of automated
IT tools, prepares adequate reports for the Top Management at a predetermined frequency. The subsequent assessment
and classification of non-performing loans is carried out by specific committees set up within the Bank which each time
assess the individual credit exposures, the creditworthiness of customers, the guarantees and any other factor that may
affect the assessment of the credit exposures.
With reference to bad loans, management is carried out by the Legal Department for recovery activities.
3.2 Write-offs
Writing-off constitutes an event that gives rise to an accounting derecognition when there are no longer reasonable
expectations of recovering the financial asset. It can occur before the legal actions for the recovery of the financial asset
have ended and does not necessarily involve the waiver of the legal right to recover the credit by the bank.
The write-off can concern the entire amount of a financial asset or a portion of it and corresponds to:
- the reversal of total impairment losses, as a contra entry to the gross value of the financial asset, and
- for the part exceeding the total impairment losses, to the impairment of the financial asset recognised directly
in the income statement.
Any recoveries from collections subsequent to the write-off are recognised in the income statement under write-backs.
The term “total write-offs ” means the cumulative amounts of partial and total write-offs on financial assets.
During the year ended 31 December 2021, the amount of the positions subject to write-off is equal to 802 thousand
euros.
3.3 Acquired or originated impaired financial assets
They represent exposures that meet the definition of acquired or originated impaired financial asset as per Appendix A
of IFRS 9. This includes, inter alia, non-performing credit exposures acquired as part of disposal transactions (individual
or portfolio ) and business combinations.
At 31 December 2021, the Bank does not hold financial assets falling under this category.

4. Financial assets subject to commercial renegotiations and forborne exposures
Forborne exposures are defined as those deriving from concessions made in the presence of both of the following two
conditions:
- the debtor, due to their own financial difficulties, is (or is close to becoming) unable to comply with the terms
of the contract;
- the lender makes a favourable concession to the debtor due to the difficulties highlighted.
The forborne attribute is assigned at the level of a single credit line upon the occurrence of specific conditions of difficulty
of the debtor in fulfilling their obligations, associated with an activity of the Bank aimed at overcoming such difficulties
(forbearance measures).
Forborne exposures can be found both within the categories of non-performing loans and in the category of performing
loans, in relation to the risk status of the exposure at the time of the concession.
With reference to the two main directives, dictated by the EBA in primis, by Circular no. 272 and clarified and made
explicit with the Consultation Report drawn up by Banca Italia, the Bank sets the following lines for:
- the identification of forbearance measures;
- the management and monitoring of the loans subject to these measures.
In general, the following forborne measures are identified:
a) extension of the expiry date of the loan;
b) reduction of the interest rate applied;
c) transformation of the credit line from maturity to revocation;
d) modification of the instalment deadline frequency;
e) change in the type of amortisation.
According to internal policies, the concessions made by the Bank to debtors who do not present conditions of financial
difficulty are excluded considering:
- either earning capacity;
- or their credit reserve in the banking system and their ability to obtain financing from the same.
The attribution of the forborne status is the responsibility of the body deliberating the granting of the forbearance
measure. The management of the loans subject to forborne measures takes place through the IT procedure and the
monitoring provides, among other things, a quarterly information report to the Credit Committee.
At 31 December 2021 there were 47 “forborne” exposures, of which:
• 21 non-performing positions totalling 39,141 thousand euros (18,928 thousand euros net of write-downs), of
which 3 positions included among bad loans of 26,504 thousand euros, 17 positions included among unlikely-
to-pay of 12,362 thousand euros and one position included among past due of 275 thousand euros.
• 26 performing positions totalling 15,728 thousand euros.
In several documents, the EBA has clarified that the legislative moratoriums granted in response to the Covid 19
emergency do not involve an automatic classification of the position as forbearance.
Banca Finnat has defined the criteria which, if respected, do not lead to the classification as forborne of a position that
benefited from the moratorium.
As regards the SICR assessing process and measuring the expected losses, please refer to the previous paragraph "2.3
Methods of measuring expected losses", sub-paragraph "Changes due to Covid-19".

B.4 Large exposures
a) Amount (book value) 2,165,374 thousand euros
b) Amount (weighted value) 169,189 thousand euros
c) Number 9
The provisions contained in EC Regulation no. 575/2013 establish that large exposure means the exposure of an
institution to a customer or a group of connected customers with a value equal to or greater than 10% of the eligible
capital of the institution.
The same provisions state that the amount of an institution's exposure to a single client or group of connected clients
may not exceed 25% of the institution's eligible capital. The amount of 25% obviously takes into account the credit risk
mitigation techniques, the type of guarantee acquired and the debtor counterparty.
With the aim of containing Large Exposures within the limits set by the regulatory provisions, the corporate control
functions carry out ex ante controls on new loans and periodically verify the Bank's overall exposure to customers or
groups of connected customers which fall into the category of large exposures. The internal policies also provide for the
preparation of adequate reporting to the corporate bodies.

E. Prudential consolidation - Models for measuring credit risk
Starting from the financial year ended 31 December 2021, the Bank uses a standardised methodology adopting the
integral method for the treatment of financial collateral for the purpose of quantifying internal capital (current and
prospective) in line with the guidelines defined in the budgeting process and multi-year planning.
In compliance with supervisory provisions, the method adopted by the Bank for quantifying internal capital allows the
use of collaterals (pledges and mortgages) and personal guarantees as a form of credit risk mitigation. The bank favours
the acquisition of collateral characterised by high liquidity (listed financial instruments) and low price volatility (sovereign
government debt securities).
With the aim of verifying the adequacy of internal capital even in the event of adverse circumstances related to the
negative trend in loans, the Bank conducts stress tests on credit risk in the context of ICAAP/ILAAP reporting. To carry
out these tests, reference is made to macroeconomic and idiosyncratic events which include the increase in default
positions, reduction in value of guarantees and the increase in Probability of Default.

1.2 - Market risk
1.2.1 Interest rate risk and price risk - Regulatory trading book
Qualitative information
A. General aspects
Market risk was is defined by the Bank as the risk of an unfavourable change in the value of a position in financial
instruments, included in the trading book for supervisory purposes, due to adverse trends in interest rates, exchange
rates, interest rates inflation, volatility, share prices, credit spreads, commodity prices (generic risk) and issuer
creditworthiness (specific risk).
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to market risk, the Bank did not detect significant impacts on the valuation of financial assets in the
trading book as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The trading book is in fact of a residual amount and consists almost
exclusively of financial instruments characterised by high liquidity.
B. Management processes and methods of measuring interest rate risk and price risk
Interest rate risk
All financial instruments subject to the capital requirements for market risks fall within the “trading book”, as defined
by the supervisory regulations.
The trading book consists of:
- debt securities;
- equity securities;
- UCI units;
- trading derivatives.
The debt securities present in the portfolio at 31 December 2021 are largely made up of government securities with a
limited overall duration. Equity investments mainly concern securities listed on the Italian Stock Exchange and with a
high degree of liquidity. The instruments in the portfolio are denominated in Euro.
The Managing Director and the General Management of the Bank provide strategic guidelines regarding the assumption
of market risks relating to the acquisition and negotiation of trading securities.
With regard to interest rate risk, the Bank monitors changes in market rates, with the production of specific reports
which are provided to the Management.
Price risk
Price risk represents the risk of capital losses on listed financial assets or in any case similar to listed instruments
following fluctuations in the price of securities or for factors attributable to the specific situation of the issuer.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA

The Bank has adopted specific internal regulations that govern and limit the assumption of risk towards certain types of
financial instruments and allow the continuous monitoring of the main risk indicators (VAR - Expected Shortfall - Volatility,
etc.)
Stress limits have also been identified and envisaged which consider simultaneous shocks on credit risk - increases in
spreads and decreases in share prices.
The methodology adopted for calculating the VAR is historical, the bank uses a 2-year holding period, a confidence
interval of 99% and a daily time horizon to quantify the expected risk.
The trading book is mainly represented by government debt securities. The price risk is consequently linked to the
specific situation of the issuer.
As regards the portfolio relating to equity instruments, it should be noted that it includes, almost exclusively, listed
shares with a high degree of liquidity.
Finally, with reference to the management of market risks, it should be noted that transactions with particular
characteristics in terms of structure, type of issuer or risk are subject to scrutiny by the Managing Director and by the
General Management, which carries out a specific assessment of the risk profiles associated with them.

1.2.2 Interest rate risk and price risk - Banking book
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring interest rate risk and price risk
Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk relating to the banking book is defined as the current and future risk of volatility of profits or capital
deriving from adverse movements in interest rates. From the definition of the interest rate risk it is clear that this risk is
generated by imbalances arising from the core business as a consequence of the difference in the maturities and in the
redefinition periods of the interest rate conditions of assets and liabilities. The Bank's interest rate risk management
policy on the banking book is aimed at stabilising the interest margin on the banking book.
The Bank's internal structures periodically monitor and provide the Bank's Top Management and Board of Directors with
adequate reporting on the interest rate risk of the banking book. In addition, stress tests on the interest rate risk of the
Repricing Gap and Duration Gap type banking book are carried out at pre-established intervals. The operational limits to
the assumption of risk have been defined by the Bank's Board of Directors and are periodically reviewed by the same.
The banking book consists of assets and liabilities financial instruments not included in the portfolio consisting of trading
securities. It is mainly composed of receivables and payables from banks and customers as well as from management
hedging derivatives.
With regard to the banking book, in relation to interest rate risk, please note the following:
Cash assets
- debt securities all in Euro amount to a total of 1,084 million euros and are represented by securities present in the
Financial Assets portfolio valued at amortised cost for 754 million euros and those present in the Financial Assets
portfolio measured at fair value with impact on overall profitability 330 million euros. Debt securities are mainly
represented by Government Bonds maturing in 2022 for 541 million euros, maturing in 2023 for 10 million euros,
maturing in 2024 for 300 million euros, maturing in 2025 for 41 million euros, maturing in 2026 for 131 million euros
and maturing in 2029 for 5 million euros;
- loans to banks (Euro and currencies), are represented for 114 million euros by deposits and current accounts on demand
mainly at variable rate, for 54 million euros by other loans at variable rate (of which 6 million euros for compulsory
reserve);
- loans to customers (Euros and currencies), for a total of 531 million euros, are represented by current account credit
lines for 203 million euros, loans granted to customers for 169 million euros, mostly at variable rates, and repurchase
agreements for 26 million euros and from other loans for 133 million euros.
Cash liabilities
- amounts due to customers (Euros and currencies) amount to a total of 1,650 million euros and are mainly represented
by fixed-rate time deposits for 179 million euros (maturing in 2022 for a nominal amount of 46 million euros, in 2023
for a nominal value of 28 million euros, in 2024 for a nominal amount of 39 million euros, in 2025 for a nominal
amount of 31 million euros and by 2030 for a nominal value of 23 million euros), from current accounts that are
variable or reviewable fixed rate for 679 million euros, from repurchase agreements on securities listed on regulated
markets for 751 million euros;
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
458
- payables to banks (Euro and currencies) refer to loans and deposits for a total of 0.4 million euros;
From the above, it can be concluded that the interest rate risk is limited.
Price risk
Price risk represents the risk of capital losses on listed financial assets or in any case similar to listed instruments
following fluctuations in the price of securities or for factors attributable to the specific situation of the issuer.
The Bank has adopted specific internal regulations that govern and limit the assumption of risk towards certain types of
financial instruments and allow the continuous monitoring of the main risk indicators (VAR - Expected Shortfall - Volatility,
etc.)

1.2.3 Currency risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring the exchange rate risk
The management of exchange rate risk is the responsibility of the General Management and the Finance Department
carries out trading, hedging and brokerage activities within specific operating limits of a limited amount both for financial
assets and liabilities in own currency and as counter-entries to customer transactions.
Exposure to exchange rate risk is normally very low and limited to temporary misalignments in opposite positions. The
Bank keeps the risk to a minimum by always monitoring the treasury exposure deriving from temporal mismatching
between assets and liabilities.
B. Exchange risk hedging activities
At 31 December 2021, two management hedges owned by the Bank were open for GBP 7,000 thousand and CHF 4,000
thousand.

1.4 Liquidity risk
Qualitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring liquidity risk
Liquidity risk was defined by the Bank as the possibility of not meeting its payment commitments. The risk under analysis
is linked to the inability to raise funds (funding liquidity risk) or to the presence of limits on the disposal of assets (market
liquidity risk).
By funding liquidity risk we mean the risk that the Bank and the Group companies are unable to meet their payment
commitments and obligations efficiently (with respect to the "desired" risk profile and/or to economic conditions "fair")
due to inability to raise funds without compromising their core business and/or financial situation.
Market liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to liquidate an asset without incurring capital losses due to the
limited liquidity of the reference market and/or as a consequence of the timing necessary to carry out the operation.
The analysis of the composition of the financial instruments (assets and liabilities) of the Group shows, overall, a limited
liquidity risk. In fact, the loan portfolio features a prevalence of on demand and short-term loans both on the interbank
market and to customers (as it is largely made up of on demand loans directly linked to private banking). The securities
portfolio mainly consists of highly liquid debt securities issued by countries in the Euro area.
As far as sources of funding are concerned, funding consists of current accounts, term deposits, repurchase agreements
and the issue of floating rate bonds. The concentration of funding sources, present on leading and consolidated
customers, is a consequence of the business model adopted by the Bank which provides for the disbursement of loans
and the provision of services to highly selected customers.
The Group's overall exposure to liquidity risk is therefore kept at modest levels thanks to the structure of the financial
portfolio described above.
The ability to promptly and economically meet commitments is implemented through a careful control of the position
through the use of IT systems that guarantee continuous monitoring of liquidity requirements which are possibly
managed through the use of the interbank deposit market and as an alternative to the Repo market.
On the basis of the supervisory provisions, the Bank has defined guidelines on the governance and management of
liquidity risk and the related stress test methods to be carried out. In particular, the roles and responsibilities of the
corporate bodies involved, the methodologies for calculating the LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) and NSFR (Net Stable
Funding Ratio) indicators were identified as well as the criteria to be followed for conducting stress tests.
The short-term liquidity management policy, monitored with the LCR indicator, includes the set of limits and alert
thresholds that allow, both in normal market conditions and under stress conditions, to measure the exposure to the
liquidity risk. The liquidity necessary to cope with any structural imbalances in the composition of assets and liabilities
over a time horizon of one year is, however, monitored through the NSFR indicator.
As part of the liquidity risk management process, the Bank's Risk Control Organisational Unit provides to:
- periodically carry out the stress tests for risk measurement identified by the Bank by implementing the
necessary measurements to determine the value of the LCR indicator: Liquidity Coverage Ratio (aimed at
ensuring that the Bank holds an amount of high quality liquid assets which allow to withstand stressful
situations on the funding market over a time span of 30 days) and the NSFR indicator: Net Stable Funding
Ratio (aimed at guaranteeing a structural balance of the bank financial statements);
- prepare the reports to be sent to Top Management illustrating the exposure to liquidity risk, also
determined on the basis of the stress tests.

From the analyses carried out at 31 December 2021, it is noted that potential cash outflows are fully covered by inflows
and the liquidity buffer held by the Bank and therefore no risk situations are identified.
Impacts deriving from the Covid-19 pandemic
With reference to liquidity risk, the Bank did not detect significant impacts as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The
liquidity buffer and the eligible assets are constantly monitored and are adequate to manage outflows even under stress
conditions.

1.5 Operational risk
Qualitative and quantitative information
A. General aspects, management processes and methods of measuring operational risk
Operational risk means the risk of suffering losses deriving from the inadequacy or malfunction of procedures, human
resources and internal systems, or from external events. This type includes, among other things, losses deriving from
fraud, human errors, interruptions to operations, unavailability of systems, contractual breaches, natural and/or
geopolitical disasters. Operational risk includes legal risk but not strategic and reputational risks.
While adopting a standardised method of calculating operational risks, the Banks carries out an analysis/self-assessment
of the same. In order to standardise the operational risk quantification process, the Bank has also formalised the
methodology adopted in the document “Operational risk management in Banca Finnat”.
The analysis of operational risks and the identification of the processes with the greatest impact are periodically carried
out by the Risk Control O.U. in order to promptly identify the business areas and processes presenting the greater
operational risk in order to make the necessary corrective actions.
In particular, the analysis focuses on identifying, within the aforementioned operating procedures, the activities that
may generate operational risks for the Bank and the related controls to mitigate the same risks.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2021, periodic meetings continued between the Parent Company and the
subsidiaries InvestiRE SGR S.p.A. and Finnat Fiduciaria S.p.A. where the controls implemented by the subsidiaries were
analysed without detecting anomalies.
As regards the quantification of the internal capital placed to support operational risk, as previously mentioned, the Bank
uses a basic approach to determine the prudential capital requirements as indicated by the provisions of EC Regulation
575/2013.
In this context, the internal control function verifies the functioning and compliance of the same procedures, their
adequacy with respect to the regulations in force as well as the proposed revisions.
Section 4 - Risks of other companies
At 31 December 2021 all the subsidiaries of the Parent Company are part of the Group therefore there are no risks
pertaining to other companies.

Section 2 – Own funds and capital ratios
For supervisory purposes, the capital aggregate relevant for this purpose is determined on the basis of the provisions in
force laid down by the Bank of Italy and constitutes the reference system for prudential supervisory provisions.
Own funds at 31 December 2021 amounted to 189,397 thousand euros (184,465 thousand euros at 31 December 2020),
whereas the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio stood at 31.1% (34.9% at 31 December 2020).
The Bank exercised the option to apply the transitional provisions for the deferment over time of the impacts of the
application of the new accounting standard on own funds - illustrated in the section of the Report on Operations “Market
disclosure information”. Without this application, Own funds would have been equal to 188,189 thousand euros, while
the Total capital ratio, the CET1 capital ratio and the Tier1 ratio would be equal to 31.0%.
For more details, please refer to the disclosure on own funds and capital adequacy provided at consolidated level and
included in the disclosure to the public ("Third Pillar"). The document is published on the Bank's website
www.bancafinnat.it, in the Regulated information section.

Part L – Segment reporting
A – Primary reporting
For the purpose of identifying operating segments and establishing the figures to be allocated, the segment reporting
of the Banca Finnat Group is based on its organisation and management structure, along with the internal reporting
system used to support the management's operating decisions.
The Banca Finnat Group operates primarily in Italy.
For IAS segment reporting purposes, the Group has adopted the management approach, selecting as the primary
representative base, for the breakdown of its statement of financial position and income statement figures, the main
business sectors through which it carries out its consolidated activities and which constitute the internal reporting
segments used by the Management for allocating resources and analysing the related performance. In addition to
reflecting the operational responsibilities specified by the Group's organisational assets, the business segments consist
of the aggregation of business units that have similar characteristics with reference to the type of products and services
sold.
The segments identified for providing an operation-based description of the Group results are:
- Private Banking (comprises the offer of investment services and of typical banking services to the Bank's private
customers).
- Investment Banking (comprises the services offered to the Bank's institutional customers and by the company of the
Natam SA Group, the treasury activity and the management and development of trading activities on its own behalf
and on behalf of third parties).
- Advisory and Corporate Finance (comprises the advisory services provided by the Bank in the sector of corporate
finance and assistance in extraordinary finance transactions directed at corporate customers).
- Trusteeship (comprises the trusteeship services offered to customers through the companies of the Finnat Fiduciaria
Group and Finnat Gestioni SA).
- Asset Management - Real Estate Fund Management (comprises the management of real estate funds carried out by
the company of the InvestiRE SGR Group).
- Financial Holding and Governance Centre (comprises the strategic investments held by the Bank and the activities of
supervision of the Group's direction, coordination and control functions; overhead costs and intra-group cancellations
fall into this sector).
Income Statement calculation criteria by business segment
The calculation of pre-tax profit by business segment is based on the following criteria:
- Net interest income: the Bank's net interest income, allocated in the Private Banking, Investment Banking and
Financial Holding sectors, is calculated by contribution on the basis of the "Internal Transfer Rates" differentiated by
products and due dates; as regards the other Group entities, the various differences between interest and similar
income and expense were allocated to the relevant Business Area.
- Net fee and commission income: this was identified through the direct allocation of the income components on
various business segments.
- Net trading expense: this was attributed to the business segments that actually generated that profit.
- Dividends, Net gain from disposal or repurchase of financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income: these are reclassified line-by-line on the individual segments concerned.
Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2021 | BANCA FINNAT EURAMERICA
9
476
- Net losses on other financial assets and liabilities mandatorily measured at fair value: these were attributed to the
business segments that actually generated that profit.
- Operating costs: the aggregate includes personnel expenses, other administrative expenses (net of recovered costs),
depreciation and net impairment losses on property, equipment and investment property and amortisation and net
impairment losses on intangible assets, allocations to provisions for risks and charges and other operating income,
net. The operating costs of the subsidiaries go directly into the business segment in which they are included;
concerning Banca Finnat, the allocation among the different business segments takes place by the application of a
"cost allocation" model (in relation to specific criteria, referred to the activity carried out) for all costs for which
attribution to the business centres on the basis of the unique functional position of the resources is not possible.
- Net impairment losses for credit risk associated with financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair
value through other comprehensive income: these are allocated line-by-line on the individual sectors.
Criteria for calculating the statement of financial position aggregates by business segment
Statement of financial position aggregates were calculated according to the matching concept, with costs/revenue
allocated to the single segments.
In particular:
- loans and receivables with customers are the assets directly employed in the operating activities of the segment
and directly attributable thereto;
- due to customers and securities issued are the liabilities that result from the operating activities of each sector that
are directly attributable to that segment.
Assets/liabilities that cannot be reasonably attributed were allocated to the "Financial Holding and Governance Centre"
segment.
The activities carried out in the year by the individual segments are commented on in the Report Operations of the
separate financial statements.

PART M - Information on the Group's leases
This part provides the information required by IFRS 16 that is not included in the other parts of the financial statements.
In particular, rights of use acquired through leases at 31 December 2021 amount to 15,760 thousand euros, of which
15,205 thousand euros relating to property leases. Leasing payables amount to 16,147 thousand euros.
Section 1 - Lessee
QUALITATIVE INFORMATION
At 31 December 2021, there were 69 lease contracts, of which: i) 23 relating to buildings; ii) 2 relating to electronic
systems; iii) 44 related to other types (of which 40 cars).
96.5% of the value of the rights of use recorded in the assets of the Statement of financial position refers to real estate
lease contracts which mainly include properties intended for use as offices and bank branches and, to a lesser extent,
intended for employee accommodation. Real estate leases contracts recognised under rights of use, almost all relating
to assets located in Italy, have a duration of more than 12 months and typically have renewal or termination options
that can be exercised by the lessor and the lessee in accordance with the provisions of law or contractual provisions. The
contracts do not provide for purchase options of properties on their expiry; furthermore, no significant reinstatement
costs are envisaged in the lease contracts.
As required by the Banca Finnat Group Policy, adopted by the companies of the Group to regulate the methods of
identification, evaluation and accounting of leases, in the event of signing of new rental contracts, the determination of
the duration of the lease is carried out taking into account the expiry of the contracts and any options envisaged by the
lease such as, for example, lease extension options or contract termination options. In particular, in the largely prevalent
cases of lease contracts drawn up in accordance with the provisions of Italian Law no. 392/1978, with a contractual
duration of six years and the option of tacitly renewing the six-year contract in six years, the overall duration of the lease
is assumed to be equal to 12 years. In cases in which new elements or specific situations emerge from the analysis of
the individual lease contracts, this general indication is superseded.
Leases relating to electronic systems pertain exclusively to the Bank and concern 0.2% of the value of the rights of use
recognised in the assets of the Statement of financial position.
Leases relating to other types concern 3.3% of the value of the rights of use recognised in the Statement of financial
position and refer for 3.1% to long-term rental contracts for cars made available to employees, directors (mixed use) or
at the disposal of the Bank's branches and other offices of the Group and for the remainder to ATMs and TCRs. Almost
all car contracts have a four-year or five-year term and do not include the option to purchase the asset. No renewal
options are envisaged but the contracts can be extended according to the car fleet management; in the event of early
repayment, a penalty is generally included. The payment of the lease instalments is made monthly in advance.
The Group did not carry out any sale and leaseback transactions in 2021.
As regards sub-lease transactions, it should be noted that the Bank has a single sub-lease transaction in place for a
portion of a property of an insignificant amount.
Based on the provisions of the aforementioned Policy, the Banca Finnat Group avails itself of the exemptions provided
for by IFRS 16 and, consequently: i) provisions relating to the recognition, initial valuation, subsequent valuation and off-
balance sheet exposure of short-term lease contracts with a duration equal to or less than 12 months and lease contracts

in which each underlying asset is of modest value, meaning with a value of 5 thousand euros, are not applied; ii) In
consideration of the option envisaged by IFRS 16.4, the Group has not deemed it necessary to apply the standard to any
operating leases on intangible assets.
QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION
In Part B - Assets of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the information on the rights of use acquired with the lease
are respectively reported:

- Property, equipment and investment property used in operation: annual changes.
Part B - Liabilities show: lease payables:
Table 1.2 - Financial liabilities at amortised cost: breakdown by product of due to customers.

information:
on interest income and expense relating to leasing payables (Section 1 Interest - Tables 1.1 and 1.3);
on amortisation of assets consisting of rights of use (Section 14 - Net value adjustments/recoveries on
property, equipment and investment property).
Section 2 - Lessor
To date, the Group has no transactions in place for the sale of leased assets, neither for operational nor financial leases.

Significant non-recurring operations and positions or transactions deriving from atypical and/or unusual operations
Pursuant to the Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006, it should be noted that:
- during 2021, no non-recurring events occurred or were carried out, meaning events or operations that do not
usually take place, in connection with ordinary business operations;
- no atypical and/or unusual transactions took place during 2021, either within the Group or with related or third
parties. Atypical and/or unusual transactions are those operations which, due to their magnitude/importance, to the
nature of the counterparty, to the subject matter of the transaction and to the method for determining the transfer price
and time frame (close to the year-end), may give rise to doubts as to: the accuracy/completeness of the information
set out in the financial statements, any conflict of interest, the safeguarding of the company's net worth and the
protection of non-controlling interests.
The most significant Group transactions in 2021 are commented on in a special section of the Report on Operations of
the separate Financial Statements in the dedicated section.
