Creation of the leading independent specialty finance bank in Italy, for the benefit of both companies
Consistent with "BFF 2023 Plan":"Expanding the business via M&A into new niche markets not covered by traditional banks, with low
risk, high growth, high profitability, and supporting the business diversification of the Group"
For BFF and its
clients
For DEPObank and
its clients
Strengthened competitive positioning as the independent leader in the Italian specialty finance sector
with increased business model diversification as well as access to structurally cheaper financing
Increased ability to serve and support its customers - especially given the impact of Covid-19,which is
increasing customers' demand for BFF services
Benefit from being part of a listed, solid and profitable Group which has a high standard of execution and operating efficiency, and is both a leader in niche sectors not covered by traditional banks (already clients of DEPObank) and characterised by a low risk profile
Balance sheet of the depositary bank will be invested in shorter duration assets than currently, with
better credit risk (i.e. commercial receivables towards public sector compared to unsecured bonds towards
government)
DEPObank and BFF businesses will both continue to be developed. BFF has signed a binding agreement with Nexi - effective only upon the date of closing - for the extension of the current partnership between DEPObank and Nexi in relation to (i) the settlement services of both the card acquiring and issuing activities, and (ii) the supply of ICT services from Nexi

- Increasing of products and services range, entering sectors indirectly exposed to asset management (i.e. securities services) and retail payments businesses, c. 30% of the combined revenues
- Improved revenues mix, with stronger contribution from commission income, c. 30% of the combined revenues
- ~€120m combined 2019 adjusted net income pre-synergies
- No incremental credit risk therefore maintaining a negligible credit risk profile (6bps cost of risk as of 2019)
- ~€7.5bn of deposits from customers at YE19 currently invested in government bonds and ECB accounts at negative interest yield, which can be readily used to finance BFF's business growth
- Such funding base is even more important for BFF given the context following the Covid-19 emergency as it allows BFF to more efficiently support the potential increase in: (i) customers' demand, (ii) DSO - therefore loan stock, and (iii) volume from the VAT Split Payment termination (from Jul-20)
- TC ratio pro-forma stable at 15% while accretive for Tier 1 ratio: badwill and capital increase to entirely cover the capital absorption from the Transaction
- Cash payment for the Target's excess capital above 15% plus issuance of BFF shares with a limited 7.6% dilution to BFF shareholders. Therefore, BFF will merge with a business capitalized at 15% CET1 by issuing €63m(1) worth of BFF shares, equivalent to a pre-synergymultiple of 3.2x(2) P/E Adjusted 2019 and 0.5x P/TBV, excluding the excess capital(3)
- BFF's capital is further protected by a Risk Sharing Mechanism in relation to DEPObank's HTC Portfolio value at closing
- >€25-35mpre-tax annual run-rate synergies
- €15-25mfunding synergies through the deployment of DEPObank's liquidity to fund BFF's business, equal to 20-30bps over DEPObank 2019 liquidity (€7.5bn)
- >€10m SG&A cost savings from the integration of the businesses (~5% of the combined entity and ~10% of DEPObank cost base)
- EPS and DPS accretive for more than 10% as early as from 2021

2 ~€7.5bn of liquidity invested in Italian Government bonds and ECB deposits available to fund BFF's low risk and short term credit business
Key considerations
- DEPObank's liabilities mainly consist of customer deposits for €7.5bn. Such liquidity is attributable to its two business units:
- Depositary bank activities for €6.1bn, equal to 8.6% of the Assets under Depositary as of December 2019 (Assets under Depositary: €71bn)
- Payments and other fund services for €1.4bn, mainly linked to corporate payments services and checks & receivables
- Liquidity mainly invested in Italian Government Bonds (€4.4bn, classified as HTC
- "Portfolio HTC") and in ECB accounts (€2.3bn) with yields significantly lower than BFF's cost of funding
- Post Transaction, balance sheet of the depositary bank will be invested in shorter duration assets than currently, with better credit risk (i.e. commercial receivables towards public sector compared to unsecured bonds towards government)

Notes: 1. Based on BFF share price as of 7th May 2020 (€4.52 per share) immediately before BFF's confirmation of the submission of a binding offer to Equinova for the acquisition of DEPObank. The final amount in Euro of the capital increase will be established at the closing of the Transaction.
BFF's returns further enhanced by a Risk Sharing Mechanism
in relation to DEPObank's Portfolio HTC at closing
Key features of the
mechanism
Benefits and
potential impacts
for BFF
- The purchase (completed today) by BFF of a portion of the Portfolio HTC at the current market value equal to €742m, with a yield (as of today) of 1.6% and a residual duration of 5 years, financed through REPO at market conditions, with the proceeds of such disposal for DEPObank deposited at the ECB
- At closing, the application of a Risk Sharing Mechanismwith the seller of the potential capital absorption related to the Portfolio HTC in the case that the fair market value at such date is lower than the carrying value on DEPObank's accounts
- This Risk Sharing Mechanism envisages the possible issuance of an Additional Tier 1 ("AT1") instrument by BFF in favour of Equinova (or a third party designated by Equinova) for a max nominal amount of €70mln and a fixed interest rate equal to 7% per annum
- The Risk Sharing Mechanism allows:
- to absorb the potential capital impact for BFF in the event that the market value of the Portfolio HTC is lower, at closing, than its accounting value reported on DEPObank's financial statements
- to increase, at the same time, the financial return of the Transaction for BFF with no additional risk. The lower market value of the Portfolio HTC compared to the accounting value would represent - for BFF - a higher future profit for an equivalent amount, which than translates into a potential return on the absorbed capital of up to 4.0x over approximately 4 years
-
If activated, the Risk Sharing Mechanism will imply - for BFF - a maximum capital absorption on the Portfolio
HTC of €29mln at closing - For illustrative purposes: using today's market value of the Portfolio HTC, the application of the Risk Sharing Mechanism would result in an AT1 issuance of €24m and a net capital absorption for BFF (i.e. not covered by the AT1 issuance) equal to €10m, with €28m of additional capital generated over the next 4 years
