BASE PROSPECTUS

BANCO BPM S.P.A.
(incorporated as a joint stock company (società per azioni) in the Republic of Italy)
25,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme

This base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No.
2017/1129 of 14 June 2017 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Under this 25,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the
"Programme"), BANCO BPM S.p.A. (the "Issuer" or the "Bank" or "Banco BPM") may from time to time issue non-equity
securities in physical form (the "Notes in Physical Form") or in dematerialised form (the "Dematerialised Notes" and, together with
the Notes in Physical Form, the "Notes"). Notes issued under the Programme may be denominated in any currency agreed between
the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed
25,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Programme Agreement described herein), subject
to increase as described herein. In the event of such increase, a supplement to this Base Prospectus will be prepared by the Issuer,
which shall be approved by the CSSF in accordance with Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Description of the Programme" and
each further Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"),
which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer"
shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes.
The terms and conditions for the Notes in Physical Form are set out under "Terms and Conditions for the Notes in Physical Form"
and the terms and conditions for the Dematerialised Notes are set out under "Terms and Conditions for the Dematerialised Notes".
References to the "Notes" shall be to the Notes in Physical Form and/or the Dematerialised Notes, as appropriate, and references to
the "Terms and Conditions" or the "Conditions" shall be to the Terms and Conditions for the Notes in Physical Form and/or the Terms
and Conditions for the Dematerialised Notes, as appropriate and as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, CMS, or to the sterling overnight index average rate
("SONIA"), in each case as specified in the relevant Final Terms. As at the date of this Base Prospectus, EURIBOR is provided and
administered by the European Money Markets Institute ("EMMI"), CMS is provided and administered by ICE Benchmark
Administration Limited and SONIA is provided and administered by the Bank of England. At the date of this Base Prospectus, EMMI
is authorised as benchmark administrators, and included on, the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained
by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") pursuant to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011 (the
"Benchmarks Regulation"). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the administrator of CMS is not included in ESMA's register of
administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51
of the EU Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that ICE Benchmark Administration is not currently required to obtain authorisation
or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition, endorsement or equivalence). As at the date of this Base
Prospectus, the administrator of SONIA is not included in ESMA's register of administrators under Article 36 of the Benchmarks
Regulation. As far as the Issuer is aware, SONIA does not fall within the scope of the Benchmarks Regulation.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. The principal risk factors that may affect the ability
of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under the Notes are discussed under "Risk Factors" below.
The Base Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") which
is the Luxembourg competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. The CSSF only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting
the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not
be considered as an endorsement of either the Issuer or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus and
investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes. By approving the Base Prospectus, the
CSSF gives no undertaking as to the economic or financial soundness of the transaction or the quality and solvency of the Issuer in
line with the provisions of Article 6(4) of the loi du 16 juillet 2019 relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières dated 16 July 2019
(the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law"). This Base Prospectus is valid for admission to trading of Notes on a regulated market for the
purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") for a period of twelve months from the date of approval ending on 6
June 2024, provided that it is completed by any supplement, pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Issuer shall have no obligation to supplement this Base Prospectus after the end of its 12-month validity period.
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to trading
on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such notes have been admitted to
trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Bourse de Luxembourg) and have been "listed" on the Official
List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market (the "Regulated Market") is a
regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II. Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect
of Notes, the issue price of Notes and any other terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each Tranche (as
defined in the Conditions) of Notes will be set out in the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms") or in a separate prospectus specific
to such Tranche (the "Drawdown Prospectus"). With respect to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Final
Terms will be filed with the CSSF and the Drawdown Prospectus will be subject to the approval of the CSSF. In the case of a Tranche
of Notes which is the subject of a Drawdown Prospectus, each reference in this Base Prospectus to information being specified or
identified in the relevant Final Terms shall be read and construed as a reference to such information being specified or identified in
the relevant Drawdown Prospectus unless the context requires otherwise.
i

The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchange(s)
or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not
admitted to trading on any market. The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus
in connection with unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market.
As at the date of this Base Prospectus, payments of interest and other proceeds in respect of the Notes may be subject to withholding
or deduction for or on account of Italian substitute tax (imposta sostitutiva), in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree No. 239 of
1 April 1996, as amended and supplemented from time to time, and any related regulations. Upon the occurrence of any withholding
or deduction for or on account of imposta sostitutiva from any payments under the Notes, neither the Issuer nor any other person shall
have any obligation to pay any additional amount(s) to any holder of the Notes. In addition, certain other exceptions to the obligation
of the Issuer to pay additional amounts to holders of the Notes with respect to the imposition of withholding or deduction from
payments relating to the Notes also apply. For further details see the Conditions and the section entitled "Taxation Italian taxation".
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act")
or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and notes in bearer form are subject
to U.S. tax law requirements. The Notes may not be offered, sold or (in the case of Notes in bearer form) delivered within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"))
except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The Issuer (the "Responsible Person") accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Base
Prospectus and the applicable Final Terms for each Tranche of Notes. To the best of the knowledge of the
Issuer the information contained in this Base Prospectus is in accordance with the facts and does not omit
anything likely to affect the import of such information.
Subject as provided in the relevant Final Terms, the only persons authorised to use this Base Prospectus in
connection with an offer of Notes are the persons named in the relevant Final Terms as the relevant Dealer
or the Managers, as the case may be.
Copies of Final Terms will be available from the registered office of the Issuer and the specified office set
out below of each of the Paying Agents (as defined below) and, in the case of listed Notes, will be published
on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.luxse.com).
This Base Prospectus is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are incorporated herein by
reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below) and with any supplements hereto. This Base
Prospectus shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated in and form part
of this Base Prospectus.
Neither the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates have authorised this Base Prospectus or any part
thereof nor independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no representation,
warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the
Dealers or any of their respective affiliates as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained
or incorporated in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in connection with
the Programme. No Dealer accepts any liability in relation to the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Base Prospectus or any other information provided by the Issuer in connection with the
Programme.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer or the Dealers to give any information or to make any
representation not contained in or not consistent with this Base Prospectus or any other document entered
into in relation to the Programme or any information supplied by the Issuer or such other information as is
in the public domain and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as
having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the Dealers.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any
Notes (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuer or any of the Dealers that any recipient of this Base Prospectus or any other
information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Notes should purchase any Notes. Each
investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer and the Group
(as defined herein). Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the
Programme or the issue of any Notes constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or any
of the Dealers to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes.
Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time
subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is
correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same. The Dealers
expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or the Issuer and the
Group during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the Notes of any information coming
to their attention. Investors should review, inter alia, the most recently published documents incorporated
by reference into this Base Prospectus when deciding whether or not to purchase any Notes.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or with any securities regulatory
authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and notes in bearer form are subject to U.S.
tax law requirements. The Notes may not be offered, sold or (in the case of Notes in bearer form) delivered
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons as defined in Regulation S
under the Securities Act except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. See "Subscription and Sale".

i

This Base Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes in
any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain
jurisdictions. The Issuer and the Dealers do not represent that this Base Prospectus may be lawfully
distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or
other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume
any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken
by the Issuer or the Dealers which would permit a public offering of any Notes outside the European
Economic Area or the United Kingdom or distribution of this Base Prospectus in any jurisdiction where
action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and
neither this Base Prospectus nor any advertisement or other offering material may be distributed or
published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any applicable
laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this Base Prospectus or any Notes may come must
inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus and
the offering and sale of Notes. In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Base Prospectus
and the offer or sale of Notes in the United States, the European Economic Area (including the Republic of
Italy and France), the United Kingdom, Japan, Singapore and Switzerland. See "Subscription and Sale".
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the
European Economic Area (each a "Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the
Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly any
person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of Notes which are the subject of an
offering contemplated in this Base Prospectus as completed by the relevant Final Terms in relation to the
offer of those Notes may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any
Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a
prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation to such offer.
Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes
in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish or supplement a
prospectus for such offer.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown Prospectus, as the
case may be) in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA").
For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in
point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as
amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering
or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown Prospectus, as the
case may be) in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors",
the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold
or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a
retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article
2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial
Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to
implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as
defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No.
1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / target market  The Final Terms in respect of any Notes will include a
legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect

ii

of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in relation to each issue about
whether, for the purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593
(the "MiFID II Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in
respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective
affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID II Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market  The Final Terms (or the Drawdown Prospectus, as the
case may be) in respect of any Notes will include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the
Notes are appropriate. Any distributor (as defined above) should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to the MiFIR product governance rules set out in the FCA
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes
(by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels. A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK
MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of
such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be
a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
Product classification pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of
Singapore  The Final Terms (or the Drawdown Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Notes
may include a legend entitled "Singapore Securities and Futures Act Product Classification" which will
state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act
(Chapter 289) of Singapore (as modified or amended from time to time, the "SFA"). The Issuer will make
a determination and provide the appropriate written notification to "relevant persons" in relation to each
issue about the classification of the Notes being offered for the purposes of Section 309B(1)(a) and Section
309B(1)(c) of the SFA.
The Notes of each Tranche may:
A. initially be represented by a temporary global note ("Temporary Global Note") which (i) in
respect of a Temporary Global Note which is not intended to be issued in new global note form,
will be deposited on the issue date thereof with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank
SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or any
other agreed clearance system, and (ii) in respect of a Temporary Global Note which is intended
to be issued in new global note form, will be deposited on the issue date thereof with a common
safekeeper for Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other agreed clearance
system. Each Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable, as specified in the applicable Final
Terms, for either a permanent global note ("Permanent Global Note") or Notes in definitive form,
in each case upon certification as to non-US beneficial ownership as required by U.S. Treasury
Regulations. A Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable, in whole but not in part, for
definitive Notes, all as further described below; or
B. be held in dematerialised form on behalf of the beneficial owners, until redemption or cancellation
thereof, by Monte Titoli S.p.A. with registered office and principal place of business at Piazza
degli Affari 6, 20123 Milan, Italy ("Monte Titoli"), for the account of the relevant Monte Titoli
Account Holders. The expression "Monte Titoli Account Holders" means any authorised financial
intermediary institution entitled to hold accounts on behalf of their customers with Monte Titoli
and includes any depository banks appointed by Euroclear, as operator of the Euroclear System,
and Clearstream, Luxembourg. The Dematerialised Notes have been accepted for clearance by
Monte Titoli. The Dematerialised Notes will at all times be held in book entry form and title to the
Dematerialised Notes will be evidenced by book entries pursuant to the relevant provisions of
Italian Legislative Decree dated 24 February 1998, No. 58, as subsequently amended and
supplemented (the "Italian Finance Act") and in accordance with the Commissione Nazionale
per le società e la Borsa ("CONSOB") and Bank of Italy Joint Regulation dated 13 August 2018,
as subsequently amended and supplemented ("CONSOB and Bank of Italy Joint Regulation").
The Noteholders may not require physical delivery of the Dematerialised Notes. However, the

iii

Noteholders may ask the relevant intermediaries for certification pursuant to Article 83-quinquies
and 83-sexies of the Italian Finance Act (the "Dematerialised Notes").
This Base Prospectus includes forward-looking statements. These include statements relating to, among
other things, the future financial performance of the Issuer and the Group, plans and expectations regarding
developments in the business, growth and profitability of the Group and general industry and business
conditions applicable to the Group. The Issuer has based these forward-looking statements on its current
expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements
are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Group or those of its industry to be materially different from or worse
than these forward-looking statements. The Issuer does not assume any obligation to update such forward-
looking statements and to adapt them to future events or developments except to the extent required by law.
Suitability of Notes as investments The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each
potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own
circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in
this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(iv)
thoroughly understand the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and
(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios of
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
Some Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not
purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield as an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in Notes which are complex financial
instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes
will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this
investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments  The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities.
Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent: (1) Notes
are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing, and (3) other
restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal
advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable
risk based capital or similar rules.
Third Party Information  Certain information and statistics presented in this Base Prospectus regarding
markets and market share of the Issuer or the Group are either derived from, or are based on, internal data
or publicly available data from external sources. In addition, the sources for the rating information set out
in the section headed "Selected Consolidated Financial Data Rating" of this Base Prospectus are the
following rating agencies: Moody's, Fitch and DBRS (each as defined below). In respect of information in
this Base Prospectus that has been extracted from a third party, the Issuer confirms that such information
has been accurately reproduced and that, so far as it is aware, and is able to ascertain from information
published by third parties, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information

iv

inaccurate or misleading. Although the Issuer believes that the external sources used are reliable, the Issuer
has not independently verified the information provided by such sources.
In this Base Prospectus, references to websites are included for information purposes only. The contents of
any websites (except for the documents (or portions thereof) incorporated by reference into this Base
Prospectus to the extent set out on any such website) referenced in this Base Prospectus do not constitute a
part of or are incorporated into this Base Prospectus and have not been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
All references in this document to: "Euro", "euro" and "" refer to the currency introduced at the start of
the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union, as amended; "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" and "$" refer to United States dollars being the
currency of the United States of America; "Sterling" refers to the currency of the United Kingdom; "yen"
refers to the currency of Japan; and references to the "Banco BPM Group" or the "Group" are to BANCO
BPM S.p.A. and its subsidiaries.
Certain figures and percentages included in this Base Prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments;
accordingly, figures shown in the same category presented in different tables may vary slightly and figures
shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures which precede them.
STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the Stabilising
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in the applicable Final Terms or,
as the case may be, Drawdown Prospectus may over allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun,
may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant
Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Such
stabilising shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. Any loss or profit sustained
as a consequence of any such over-allotment or stabilising shall, as against the Issuer, be for the account of
the Stabilising Manager(s) and the relevant Dealers.
