Prospectus

BANCO BPM S.P.A.
(incorporated as a joint stock company (società per azioni) in the Republic of Italy)
10,000,000,000 Covered Bond Programme
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed as to payments of interest and principal by
BPM Covered Bond S.r.l.
(incorporated as a limited liability company in the Republic of Italy)
Except where specified otherwise, capitalised words and expressions in this Prospectus have the meaning given to them in the
Section entitled "Glossary".
Under this 10,000,000,000 covered bond programme (the Programme), Banco BPM S.p.A. (Banco BPM or the Issuer or
the Bank) may from time to time issue covered bonds (the Covered Bonds) denominated in any currency agreed between the
Issuer and the relevant Dealer(s). The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Covered Bonds from time to time outstanding
under the Programme will not exceed 10,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described herein).
The Covered Bonds constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari
passu without preference among themselves and (save for any applicable statutory provisions) at least equally with all other
present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer from time to time outstanding. In the event of a
compulsory winding-up of the Issuer, any funds realised and payable to the Bondholders will be collected by the Guarantor
on their behalf.
BPM Covered Bond S.r.l. (the Guarantor) has guaranteed payments of interest and principal under the Covered Bonds
pursuant to a guarantee (the Guarantee) which is backed by a pool of assets (the Cover Pool) made up of a portfolio of
residential and commercial mortgage loans assigned and to be assigned to the Guarantor by the Sellers (and/or, as the case
may be, by any Additional Seller) and of other Eligible Assets and Substitution Assets. Recourse against the Guarantor under
the Guarantee is limited to the Cover Pool.
This document has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF), which is the
competent authority under Regulation EU 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation) in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as a
base prospectus, for the purposes of article 8 of the Prospectus Regulation (the Prospectus).
The CSSF only approves this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed
by the Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the CSSF should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or the Guarantor
or the quality of the Covered Bonds that are subject to this Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the
suitability of investing in Covered Bonds.
Application has also been made for Covered Bonds issued under the Programme during the period of 12 (twelve) months from
the date of this Prospectus to be listed on the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on the
regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU
(as amended from time to time, the MiFID II). As referred to in Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg law on prospectuses for
securities of 16 July 2019, by approving this Prospectus, in accordance with Article 20 of the Prospectus Regulation, the CSSF
does not engage in respect of the economic or financial opportunity of the operation or the quality and solvency of the issuer.
This Prospectus is valid for a period of 12 months from its date ending on 22 July 2022 in relation to Covered Bonds
which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area (the EEA). The obligation
to supplement this Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not
apply when this Prospectus is no longer valid.
An investment in Covered Bonds issued under the Programme involves certain risks. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion
of certain factors to be considered in connection with an investment in the Covered Bonds.

Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Prospectus refers does not form part of this
Prospectus and has not been scrutinised or approved by the CSSF.
From their relevant issue dates, the Covered Bonds will be issued in dematerialised form or in any other form as set out in the
relevant Conditions and/or Final Terms. The Covered Bond issued in dematerialised form will be held on behalf of their
ultimate owners by Monte Titoli S.p.A. (Monte Titoli) for the account of the relevant Monte Titoli account holders. Monte
Titoli will also act as depository for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(Clearstream). The Covered Bonds issued in dematerialised form will at all times be evidenced by book-entries in accordance
with the Financial Laws Consolidation Act and with the joint regulation of the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la
Borsa (CONSOB) and the Bank of Italy dated 13 August 2018 and published in the Official Gazette No. 201 of 30 August
2018, as subsequently amended and supplemented. No physical document of title will be issued in respect of the Covered
Bonds issued in dematerialised form. This Prospectus does not relate to the Covered Bonds which may be issued under the
Programme in any form other than dematerialised form pursuant to either separate documentation or the documents described
in this Prospectus after having made the necessary amendments.
The Covered Bonds of each Series will be subject to mandatory and/or optional redemption in whole or in part in certain
circumstances (as set out in Condition 8 (Redemption and Purchase)). Unless previously redeemed in full in accordance with
the Terms and Conditions, the Covered Bonds of each Series will be redeemed at their Final Redemption Amount on the
relevant Maturity Date (or, as applicable, the Extended Maturity Date), subject as provided in the relevant Final Terms.
As at the date of this Prospectus, payments of interest and other proceeds in respect of the Covered Bonds may be subject to
withholding or deduction for or on account of Italian substitute tax, 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 tax from any payments under any Series of Covered Bonds, neither the Issuer
nor any other person shall have any obligation to pay any additional amount(s) to any holder of Covered Bonds of any Series.
For further details see the Section entitled "Taxation".
Amounts payable under the Covered Bonds may be calculated by reference to EURIBOR, 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 Prospectus, EURIBOR is
provided and administered by the European Money Markets Institute (EMMI), and SONIA is provided and administered by
the Bank of England. At the date of this 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) 2016/1011 (the Benchmarks Regulation). As at the date of this
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.

The Covered Bonds issued under the Programme, if rated, are expected to be assigned a credit rating as specified in the relevant
Final Terms by Moody's Deutschland GmbH (Moody's) and/or any other rating agency which may be appointed from time
to time by the Issuer in relation to any issuance of Covered Bonds or for the remaining duration of the Programme, to the
extent that any of them at the relevant time provides ratings in respect of any Series of Covered Bonds (the Rating Agency).
Whether or not the credit rating applied for in relation to relevant Series of Covered Bonds will be (1) issued or endorsed by a
credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 on credit rating
agencies (as amended, the EU CRA Regulation) or by a credit rating agency which is certified under the EU CRA Regulation
and/or (2) issued or endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the United Kingdom (UK) and registered under
Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies, as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020) (the UK
CRA Regulation) or by a credit rating agency which is certified under the UK CRA Regulation will be disclosed in the Final
Terms. In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the EU CRA Regulation unless such
rating (1) is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the European Union but is endorsed by a credit rating agency
established in the European Union and registered under the EU CRA Regulation or (2) is provided by a credit rating agency
not established in the European Union which is certified under the EU CRA Regulation. In general, UK regulated investors
are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in
the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation unless such rating (1) is provided by a credit rating agency not established
in the UK but is endorsed by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation or (2)
is provided by a credit rating agency not established in the UK which is certified under the UK CRA Regulation. A credit
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal
at any time by the assigning Rating Agency. Please refer to the ESMA webpage http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-
registeredand-certified-CRAs in order to consult the updated list of registered credit rating agencies.

STABILISATION
In connection with any Tranche of Covered Bonds, one or more Dealers may act as a
stabilising manager (the Stabilising Manager). The identity of the Stabilising Manager will be
disclosed in the relevant Final Terms. References in the next paragraph to "the issue" of any
Tranche of Covered Bonds are to each Tranche of Covered Bonds in relation to which any
Stabilising Manager is appointed.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Covered Bonds, 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 may over-allot Covered Bonds or effect
transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Covered Bonds at a level higher
than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there can be no assurance that the
Stabilising Manager(s) (or any person acting on behalf of a Stabilising Manager) will
undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Covered
Bonds is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier
of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Covered Bonds and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Covered Bonds. Any stabilisation action or
over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or persons acting
on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.

IMPORTANT - EEA RETAIL INVESTORS  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, the 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 Covered Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Covered Bonds or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT - UK RETAIL INVESTORS  If the Final Terms (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds includes a legend entitled
"Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Covered Bonds 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 (as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal
Agreement) Act 2020) (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 Covered Bonds or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Covered Bonds 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 (or the Drawdown
Prospectus, as the case may be) in respect of any Covered Bonds will include a legend entitled
"MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of
the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are appropriate.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending such Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds (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 product governance rules under EU
Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer
subscribing for any Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such Covered Bonds, but
otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the MIFID 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 Covered Bonds will include a legend entitled

0072743-0000020 EUO1: 2003709973.1
7

"UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect
of the Covered Bonds and which channels for distribution of the Covered Bonds are
appropriate. Any distributor (as defined above) should take into consideration the target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK 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 Covered Bonds (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 Covered Bonds is a manufacturer in respect of such
Covered Bonds, 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.
Suitability of Covered Bonds as investments The Covered Bonds may not be a suitable
investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Covered Bonds 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
Covered Bonds, the merits and risks of investing in the Covered Bonds and the
information contained or incorporated by reference in this 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 Covered Bonds and the
impact the Covered Bonds 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 Covered Bonds, including Covered Bonds with principal or interest payable in
one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is
different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
thoroughly understand the terms of the Covered Bonds 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 Covered Bonds 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 Covered Bonds which are complex financial instruments unless it
has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Covered Bonds
will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Covered Bonds
and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
